HILL LEAGUE Councilman MacCorkle opened for discussion the econimics of annexing land whenever an owner requested such, and suggested taking a good long look at this policy. The City Manager agreed some cases would not be economically justified to add to the corporate limits, and those areas would be brought to the Council's attention. He stated he would come in with a suggested annexation policy and a report on the cost in many cases of providing the services. In view of a cost factor, the area might need to be annexed for control. Councilman Gage pointed out strategic areas that should be annexed. Councilman Johnson emphasized the necessity of control of subdivisions and development on this particular area. The public is demanding that some of this area (in the Barton Creek vicinity) be preserved, and rightfully so. The Council is behoved to be aware of proposed subdividing in this area. The Mayor recalled some two or three years ago, the Council did declare a statement of policy, which has been followed up to this time, that property would not be annexed unless it was advantageous for the City; and that land had not been taken in that would be an immediate obvious burden. MR. TOM BRADFIELD, property owner in the Barton Creek region, displayed a plat showing a development scheme for the area along Barton Creek. He pointed out the 40 acres in question and stated the whole acreage was surrounded by all utilities. Mr. Bradfield pointed out the City limit line as it pertained to the requested annexation. He discussed Barton Creek area as a public park; and as an access. Mr. Bradfield stated if the area is not to be a public park, they would use it as a private park area, the property line being the center of the creek, where they own. After discussion, the Council agreed to hold this matter in abeyance until after the public hearing on the development of creeks and water ways scheduled for April 16th. C. ככככככ April 2, 1970 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS RECOGNITION OF FIRE MARSHAL HEATON ON HIS RETIREMENT Mayor LaRue stated the Council was recognizing a tremendous contribution to the City and community as well as the departure of a very fine employee. He read the Resolution emphasizing the dedication, leadership on a national level in fire prevention, and diligence which was largely responsible for lack of major fire disasters during Mr. Heaton's tenure. Fire Chief KIRKHAM commended Fire Marshal Heaton, noting he was recognized in Texas and throughout the nation; is past president of the Fire Marshal's Association, and Instructor in Southern Methodist University's First Fire Marshal's School. Mrs. Heaton was introduced. Mayor LaRue presented a citation to Mr. Heaton, expressing best wishes and appreciation for over 34 years of loyal service to the City. Councilman Gage offered the following Resolution and moved its adoption: (RESOLUTION) WHEREAS, the lives and safety of the citizens of Austin have been protected from fire by the dedication and diligence of the members of the Austin Fire Department, often with considerable sacrifice on the part of its members; and, WHEREAS, through the excellent leadership of Fire Marshal W. L. Heaton during his thirty-four years' service, the Austin Fire Department has attained a position of national leadership in fire prevention and has been a model for other municipal fire departments throughout the United States; and, WHEREAS, the diligent and unselfish service of Fire Marshal W. L. Heaton is largely responsible for the fact that there have been no major fire disasters in the City of Austin during his tenure and for the quality of fire prevention which is reflected in very low insurance rates and a minimal loss of life and property due to fire; Now, Therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN: That upon the occasion of his well earned retirement, the consistent diligence in the performance of duty by Fire Marshal W. L. Heaton who has shown us how to be great by being the servant of all, be given public recognition and that a page be especially set apart for that purpose in the Official Minutes of the City Council and that a copy of this Resolution be presented to the said W. L. Heaton. vote: The motion, seconded by Councilman Atkison, carried by the following Ayes: Councilmen Atkison, Gage, Janes, Johnson, MacCorkle, Price, Mayor LaRue Noes: None April 2, 1970 363 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS : ככככככ RECOMMENDATION FROM PARKS BOARD THAT ZACHARY SCOTT THEATER BOARD BE PERMITTED TO ERECT BUILDING ON BUTLER TRACT MR. PHILLIP CREER, Chairman of Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, stated the Council had the revised proposal before it, which in effect would continue the Parks and Recreation Department's interest in the civic theater movement, which theater would be available to the City at no cost, and would use land behind the Recreation Department building for erection of the building. MR. ALVIN GOLDEN, President of the Zachary Scott Theater Center, speaking also for the Arts Council, said the civic theater would fill a definite need to the citizens and the children. The building would be used assampublic structure much in the way the Garden Center is used. MR. JACK GOODMAN showed a synopsis of some slides showing site of the building, and its location in line with the Recreation Building, Toomey and Lamar Boulevard; the parking lot, and an architectural concept of what the 7400 square foot building would look like, stating it would be a movable structure that could be demounted and moved. The Building would seat about 250-300 people. Councilman MacCorkle complimented this group, stating this was the sort of thing Austin needs, and would get its citizens active in community activities. Councilman MacCorkle then moved that the idea be approved in principle, with details to be reviewed by the City Manager. Councilman Janes seconded the motion. In discussion, the City Manager stated the Council would want a contract drawn to protect the City's interest. He also pointed out that it would be necessary to set a public hearing at the same time the contract comes in, in order to utilize Park space for other than City park purposes. Mr. Golden stated that should the movable structure need to be relocated, that the Theater Board be given 365 days' notice. Councilman Janes stated their indication was that this activity would be an extension of the Park and Recreation Department's program, and that they could establish priorities. Mr. Golden stated they were paying for the strucutres and would have first call to use it for theater purposes. When it was not in use, other groups would be allowed to schedüle it through Parks and Recreation Department. As to the maintenance, Mr. Golden stated the Parks Board's recommendation was that the Parks Board and the City would be responsible for maintaining the parks area around the building, and that the contract would provide that the Theater Center would be responsible for the maintenance of the building itself up to the standards for City owned buildings. Councilman Johnson assumed the contract would basically follow the 11 stipulations set out in the Minutes of the Parks Board Minutes, plus whatever items needed to be added by the staff and the group. The Parks Board's stipulations are as follows: 1. The building should be recognized as a public building which would primarily serve the needs for good theater in Austin. 2. The building would first serve the program needs of 2.S.T. before being used for other purposes. 3. The City Recreation Department's performing arts program would be scheduled in the building when not in conflict with Z.S.T.'s use of the building. C CCC C _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 2, 1970 304 4. As the Z.S.T. program would be considered a phase of PARD's drama program, the director of PARD and/or his representative should be an ex-officio member of the Board of Directors of Z.S.T.. 5. The drama offerings in this building shoüld not be presented in cabaret style on a regular scheduled basis. 6. The Z.S.T. should vacate the site on 365 day's notice if the City has other use for the land. 7. If the City should decide that the building would serve another municipal function, the City would pay the Z.S.T. for their equity in the building. The schedule of payments should be agreed upon and written into the contract. 8. If a more adequate theater building is constructed at some future date and the Z.S.T. chooses to move its operations, the full use of the building would revert to the City at no cost. 9. The City would maintain the park land outside the building. 10. The Z.S.T. would maintain the building, parking area, and equipment to the standard of other City-owned property. 11. The City would provide the utilities. Roll call on Councilman MacCorkle's motion that the idea be approved in principle, with details being worked out by the City Manager, showed the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Atkison, Gage, Janes, Johnson, MacCorkle, Price Mayor LaRue Noes: None Councilman Johnson moved that the Council set a public hearing at 10:00 A.M., May 7, 1970, (in compliance with recent Legislation) regarding the use of park land. The motion, seconded by Councilman Atkison, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Atkison, Gage, Janes, Johnson, MacCorkle, Price Mayor LaRue Noes: None ROBERT E. LEE P.T.A. REPRESENTATIVES TO DISCUSS TRAFFIC CONTROLS AT DUVAL & HARRIS BOULEVARD MR. DAVID SPIELMAN and some of the P.T.A. group had met with the Traffic and Transportation Engineer, Mr. Ternus to discuss the several traffic and safety problems around Robert E. Lee School. In line with the traffic hazards, the group felt this was brought about by lack of sidewalks, by lack of positive action on requiring developers to construct sidewalks at the time of development, and to require sidewalks to be placed in the City for the safety of the children, senior citizens, and others, as well as a driver who might inadvertently hit a April 2, 1970 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS child. Councilman Gage pointed out the Council did pass an ordinance requiring subdividers to install sidewalks in new subdivisions and at the same time make provisions for existing neighborhoods to install sidewalks on a volunteer basis, whereby if 51% of the property owners petition for sidewalks, the City would participate up to 60% of the cost. Since May, to date, no petitions have been received. Mr. Spielman pointed out another problem was the hedges at the edges of the street. He reported also an uncovered swimming pool. As to the sidewalks, Councilman Johnson pointed out the importance of understanding the ordinance, and that the petitions would need to be signed by the respective property owners - not just a petition of people asking for sidewalks on their neighbor's properties. As to cost, the City Manager stated the property owner's participation would be around $1.50 a foot. Councilman MacCorkle asked for cooperation of the citizens, in that on many streets very young children -2, 3, 4, and 5 years old are playing in the streets with their dogs, tricycles, and toys, and in these cases, sidewalks are not the solution. COLONEL ROBERT WUCHER stated sidewalks were on both sides of his street, Briarwood Lane, but they do not keep the children off the street. He agreed that the parents would have to do something. The principals of Robert E. Lee and St. Johns Schools reported a meeting of all the Safety Committee Chairmen of all the P.T.A.'s to be held at Robert E. Lee School to discuss with Mr. Ternus, Traffic Engineer and others, the safety situation in the whole City pertaining to areas surrounding schools. He concurred in Councilman MacCorkle's statement, that parent education in safety factors is important. Councilman Gage suggested that the group secure copies and information on the sidewalk ordinance for distribution at the safety meeting. Mr. Spielman stated he was merely presenting the problems that beset that area around his school. FINANCE STATEMENT FOR FIVE MONTHS' PERIOD ENDING FEBRUARY 28, 1970 - The City Manager stated the Finance Director would review the report. Mr. Norman Barker, Director of Finance, reported the City was in good financial shape as the totals from all the Department Heads involved and figured by the Finance Office came out as they should at this time of the year, by the monthly allotment statement. The same is true of the expense the total expenses of the general fund were not in excess of what they were contemplated. Land acquisition at Highway 183 and Lamar has been accellerated by the administration and Council, and appears an over-expenditure; however, it is not. The same was true of the Utility Fund, even though payments of fixed assets were accellerated. The report as a whole reflects providence on the part of the total City administration of forecasting revenues and expenses. Councilman Gage asked for a breakdown of what is charged to the City Council account, and what the line items in that budget account are. Councilman Johnson moved that the Council note receipt of the Financial Statement for five months' period ending February 28, 1970. The motion, seconded by Councilman MacCorkle, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Atkison, Gage, Janes, Johnson, MacCorkle, Price, Mayor LaRue Noes: None _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 2, 1970 366 MODEL CITIES Councilman Gage stated about three weeks ago, the Council had asked that whatever personnel necessary be hired and that the Model Cities application be prepared at full speed. He asked for a progress report on the follow- ing: 1. What has been done the last three weeks. 2. Has a Director been hired or not. 3. What contacts have been made with the School Board, Health Planning proponents, and Economic Development proponents. 4. Have any of the offers from groups like the Community Council and other been accepted; and has the help of the Governor's staff been utilized. At the afternoon meeting, the City Manager made the report on the Model Cities application status, stating since the Council had authorized him to look into and come up with a plan to carry out and secure an approved application for Model Cities, he had met in several conferences with consultants regarding fees on completing a plan and an application for Model Cities grant. It was determined there was no deadline to file the application with HUD. Cooperation from State and other groups had been offered. He pointed out some conflicts. 1. If consultants are employed, $18,000 would be needed to complete the application plus employing extra personnel at additional costs to the City. It was not known now if HUD would repay the City for this money as part of the Planning Grant. Since the Planning grant runs out, two questions need to be resolved whether or not the planning grant can be extended again, and whether or not the procedure is satisfactory to HUD. He pointed out City funds would be $18,000 for consultants, and a total amount of $25,000 or $30,000 additional money. MRS. ANN DONNER, Model Cities Commissioner, urged the Council to proceed with this program and get the application to HUD. Lengthy discussion was held on various matters on Model Cities. Mayor LaRue summarized the issue stating the Council wanted the City Manager to determine if the individual input from the consultants would be acceptable to HUD, in that it would finance the $18,000 City cost; and until this were determined, the Council would not want to take any action. He concurred with other Council members in that the City had an obligation to put forth every effort to get this application in on time; if not possible, to ask for additional time. Later in the meeting, the Council went into executive Session to discuss personnel to complete the application. : BUSES AND BUS FRANCHISES The City Manager stated the time had arrived that the City must consider controlling all buses that operate over the streets of the City, and that he would have such an ordinance ready for the Council to study and take whatever action it felt necessary. Buses are operating under the _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 2, 1970 367 authority that they have no regulation governing their operations. The total transportation situation in Austin should be viewed and steps taken to keep the transportation for the public. Mayor LaRue stated the Council had indicated its interest in this matter several months ago and is very definitely interested in controlling buses. PARADE REQUIREMENTS The City Manager reported he had a recommendation on parade requirements which he would have distributed to the Council for consideration. Vehicles for Hire Taxi Cabs, Buses... The City Manager stated this ordinance would apply to "for hire" vehicles or any vehicle operating over the City, carrying passengers, whether it be taxis, buses or whatever. GAZEBO Councilman Johnson made a short report on the progress of the Gazebo, stating quite a bit of work was being done in the beautification, and he asked for all emphasis as possible to be put in the area to complete it. CLARKSVILLE AND MO-PAC BOULEVARD MAYOR LARUE had a request from Mr. Paul Wagner Jones to appear before the Council in reference to Clarksville and their problems. They had asked that the Council meet with them on Tuesday, April 7th, or Friday, April 10th, at 7:30 p.m. at Sweetholm Missionary Baptist Church in Clarksville. The consensus of the Council generally was the meeting should be held at the Council Room where it would be far more advantageous to all concerned, and that the Council could schedule a meeting after 7:00 p.m. in the evening. Councilman Gage stated this Council had met with them in their area three times. Mayor LaRue stated the reply would be made that the Council had visited there at least three different times, and the Council would be happy to place their request on the Agenda any time at the City Hall; and if necessary, schedule a night date. 3 CONTRACTS adoption: Councilman Johnson offered the following resolution and moved its (RESOLUTION) WHEREAS, bids were received by the City of Austin on March 16, 1970, - CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 2, 1970 for Eighty-four (84) each Emergency Lighting Units to be used in Brackenridge Hospital; and, WHEREAS, the bid of General Electric Supply Company in the sum of $9,660.00, was the lowest and best bid therefor and the acceptance of such bid has been recommended by the Purchasing Agent of the City of Austin and by the City Manager; Now, Therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN: That the bid of General Electric Supply Company in the sum of $9,660.00 be and the same is hereby accepted and that L. H. Andrews, City Manager of the City of Austin, be and he is hereby authorized to execute a contract on behalf of the City with General Electric Supply Company. vote: ". The motion, seconded by Councilman MacCorkle, carried by the following Ayes: Councilmen Atkison, Gage, Janes, Johnson, MacCorkle, Price, Mayor LaRue Noes: None The City Manager reported this contract was for emergency lights for the present Brackenridge Hospital. The City Manager stated the specifications required rechargeable units, and were drawn by Mr. Al Eldridge calling for the high quality type which are rechargeable, with a 10 year guarantee. Three bids were received, one not meeting specification, and the other requiring annual maintenance. Councilman Atkison brought up for discussion types of emergency lighting at the Hospital. It was decided to have a full report of the situation of emergency lighting in the afternoon meeting. Councilman Atkison stated in most cases this type of lighting was a glare type; and in some cases aré blinding and would not be adequate for evacuation of a hospital. Councilman Atkison described the manner of installation of correct lighting in public buildings, and read from the National Electric Code concerning lighting in public buildings. In the afternoon meeting, the City Manager reported on the emergency lighting at the hospital, reviewing the contract of 1954 installing lighting to an addition to the Hospital. An inspector, other than a City electric inspector, was employed to do the inspection work. At the near completion, officials found a substantial portion of the work was incorrectly installed and could not be corrected. The Contractor was paid off; and later bids were re-advertised for the electric with the view of remedial construction feasible to make the system as functional as possible. A small generator. was installed in the basement of the north wing, serving operating rooms 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 on the west end of the surgical suite, but the east end of the surgical suite was not serviced. In 1959 a contract was executed for electric remodeling of the anesthetizing area of the hospital at $9950, including installation of automatic transfer switch 368 i i C April 2, 1970 _ CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS for the small unit installed as part of the 1954 contract. The emergency room and intensive care section are served by a manually started generator, but it was not a dependable unit. From prior records plus what he had, the City Manager reported that to do the job in the hospital would take about $50,000 to $60,000 to get a 500 to 600 KW unit to just tie in and operate elevators, exit lights and everything that is needed. To do a partial job on this, now, is to light the areas such as the delivery room, open heart surgery, x-rays, stairwells in particular and patient corridors. These lights fit on the wall, and shine on the ceiling so there would be no blinding lights as discussed this morning. They will not do an adequate job over the years but will give protection until an adequate job can be installed. In the new hospital unit, the wiring circuits are made so as to provide adequate lighting for exit lights, and other needs, but the total needs are not provided. He listed what was needed in the old hospital, and stated in the meantime, he would recommend approval of this bid to get some lighting into the hospital. Councilman Atkison stated if this bid were approved he would hope it would not preclude investigating as soon as possible the engineering of a system which is adequate that would comply with the state laws. He said he would be the first to recommend that whatever necessary steps are needed to correct the situation be taken in order to save lives, even before any additional monies are spent on an addition to Phase B of the other hospital. He hoped the investigation would bring out that these units are started periodically. He stated the reason he questioned the bid this morning was so that it could have been brought up on the floor, and to the public's knowing that the City Manager would get it corrected. After further discussion roll was called. The City Manager submitted the following: To: Mr. F. D. Glenn, Purchasing Dept.
