Besides suffocation, other perils exist- getting the car out of gear, molestations, and other hazards. Deaths occur as a result of children's being left alone in cars. Councilman ) 487 CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS May 7, 1970 Johnson suggested that the City Manager approach this problem and give the Council additional information as to an ordinance or an alternate solution as quickly as possible. Mrs. Ornelas suggested a fine of $100 as a minimum, as a lesser fine would be ineffective. As a follow up, Mrs. Ornelas was to leave her name and telephone number with the City Clerk, and the Council would be getting back in touch with her. ENFORCING BOAT RACING ON TOWN LAKE Councilman Gage reported that after every boat race on Town Lake he received many complaints of the noises to those living in that vicinity. Councilman Johnson reported the noise from the public address system was being heard well into Travis Heights and as far as Oltorf south. The permit issued by the Council set the hours from 1:00 to 4:00p.m., but the participants begin at 7:00 a.m. and continue until after 5:00, a long day for the intensive noises. He suggested that the City Manager have the PA systems checked periodically, and strictly enforce the timing as set by the Council. HEARING ON CONSTRUCTING THEATER BUILDING ON BUTLER TRACT SOUTH OF RECREATION BUILDING Pursuant to published notice, at 10:00 a.m., Mayor LaRue opened the hearing on constructing a theater building on the Butler Tract between Riverside Drive and Toomey Road south of the Recreation Building. MR. PHILLIP CREER, Chairman of the Parks and Recreation Board, stated the program of the Zachary Scott Theater had been presented to the Council. MR. ALVIN GOLDEN, President of the Zachary Scott Theater, asked the Council to make final its action approving the program in principle a month ago. Provisions of the contract were discussed: that the City provide free utilities, which it could not do due to the bond indentures; payment not to exceed $115,000 of unamortized portion of the building should the City appropriate the structure; and an agreement that the theater would vacate the premises and remove the structure and clear the property upon 365 days notice by the City; that the theater would receive all rentals from the use. It was pointed out the contract was not in its final form. The Recreation Director stated the City handled all reservations for the Garden Center, and the Council had a set fee on the use of that building. It was pointed out the difference in the Garden Center and this building was this theater is not being contributed to the City. No one appeared in opposition. MR. SIMMONS, Architect, suggested an alternate location, that this theater would be best situated in the Civic Center, located in the trangle shown on his plan of the Civic Center. He also offered to enter into a one-year contract for $25,000, 2/3 to be used for architectural and engineering consultation with the City, to line up tenants and design the Capital Bowl Civic Center. ( ( ( (( May 7, 1970 490 =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS- The City Manager, Mr. Andrews, reported this was the official hearing that was necessary before City park property could be used in this manner. The City Attorney, Mr. Glenn Cortez, stated there were two findings that the Council would have to make in order to allow the property to be used as described. The first finding is that there is no feasible and prudent alternative to the use of the land in this manner, and the second finding would be that the program and the project include all reasonable planning to minimize harm to such land as a recreational area. Councilman Janes moved that the Council continue the hearing until 10:00 a.m., May 21, 1970. The motion, seconded by Councilman Atkison, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Atkison, Gage, Janes, Johnson, MacCorkle, Price, Mayor LaRue Noes: None PARADE ORDINANCE The Council postponed consideration of amending the Code to provide for regulation of perades until May 14, 1970. MR. STEVEN EZON asked the Council to reconsider the possibility of discussing the proposed parade permit for members of the University students. MR. MIKE WALLACH, representing the students at the University who are on strike at this time, asked that the 72-hour requirement for him to speak on a parade permit for tomorrow, be waived. MAYOR LARUE announced at this time the Chair would rule subject to being overruled by the City Council, that an emergency exists and that the 72-hour rule be waived and this topic be discussed. The City Attorney, MR. GLENN CORTEZ, stated silence on the part of the Council indicated consent to the Mayor's ruling. MR. MIKE WALLACH introduced speakers, Perry Patterson, Director of the University Y., Wayne Kamin, Tony Euledge, Joe Crier, student body president; Jim Arnold, incoming student vice president, andothers. He listed matters of concern of students all over the United States, some of whom are on strike at this time. A note was submitted to the Mayor that Dr. Jordan had called in that the faculty voted to support the parade permit with one dissenting vote out of a crowd of 600 to 700. Mr. Wallach read two resolutions from the Faculty urging that Friday be designated as a day of mourning for the victims of Kent State, and one commending the students in its petition requesting a parade permit. MR. WALLACH outlined the parade route to include Guadalupe to 8th Street to Trinity and north to 19th, west to San Jacinto and on to the Campus. He stressed it would be a peaceful parade. No application for a parade permit had been made. In answer to Councilman MacCorkle's inquiry if the group would abide by the ruling of the Council, Mr. Wallach stated he had no authority or desire to answer for the 15,000 students. He had authority only to make application for a parade permit. MR. ROBERT A. FRENIA, faculty; MR. JOE CRIER, MR. BOB BRYAN, Methodist Campus Minister at the University; MR. JIM ARNOLD, FORMER CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 111 May 7, 1970. COUNCILMAN EMMA LONG, DAVID EDWARDS, member of the Government Faculty; Dr. IRWIN SPEAR, faculty member; MR. DALE NORTON, an Austinite, and a sophomore in College, all spoke in favor of the parade and demonstrations. MR. BOB LUSK discussed constitutional rights, stating there was no provision in the Constitution that the government must provide the assembly hall or the podium when free speech takes place. The right to free speech must not infringe upon other constitutional rights of citizens. He suggested other routes and another hour be considered. MR. WALLACH did not want the parade confined to the University area; he objected to a 6:00 o'clock time as most of the people would have been home by then; they would not make the news on the same day and general. public interest would be lost. MR. JOHN L. COSTLEY, JR., a conservative U. T. Student and a veteran in Viet Nam for 14 months, pointed out these pwople did not have the right to demonstrate and by their previous actions they had shown him, a tax payer, that they had destroyed public property, did not respect rights of other people, and brought on violence. He asked that the parade permit not be granted. He submitted a grievance requesting that his classes at the University not be inter- rupted; that his educational opportunities be continued under his private rights as a student. MISS DIANA SLEDGE, ED TYSON, 2520 Longview, stated those who suggested violence had been "booed" down. Mr. William Harding spoke in favor of the parade. MAYOR LARUE suggested that Mr. Wallach make a written parade request and channel it through the proper departments. Mr. Wallach did fill out an application, and the City Manager reviewed the statements. Councilman Janes moved to consider the question of a favorable vote to consider the parade permit. Councilman Gage seconded the motion. Roll call showed the motion failed to carry by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Gage, Janes, Mayor LaRue Nces: Councilmen Atkison, Johnson, MacCorkle, Price The Council voted not to consider the parade permit. Councilman Atkison stated he did not feel there was good cause to call the parade permit an emergency measure, and he voted "no". Councilman Johnson in his statement said those responsible for educating 30,000 students had instructed this group to use legal channels, but they did not come through those channels. He noted there is not righteousness or sanctity in numbers. There is only righteousness in good common sense and in a good Christian attitude, and this in no way relates to the taking of life, liberty of freedom from another simply because one opposed what this group wanted to do. Councilman Johnson stated he did not agree with the route this group chose for their parade, and the Council did not get a chance to amend that route; but he stated the group probably could receive favorable consideration if it would come through the channels but not on a five minute notice and have all rules suspended to grant its wishes. He pointed out the entire faculty and every student in the University would not be 15% of the community, and the Council is charged with the responsibility of the 100%. He urged the group to reinstate its parade application through normal channels. May 7, 1970 492 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Councilman MacCorkle congratulated the group in the orderly manner in which it presented its case. He emphasized the responsibility of the Council for what happens on the streets of Austin, of which every citizen has a normal use. When he asked Mr. Wallach if he would assure the Council they would abide by the ruling, he could not answer the question. There were implications that the permit be granted or else. He stated he wanted to be reasonable, but he would not be blackmailed into taking any action. Councilman Gage regretted the permit was not granted, but the Council. had given the group a real challenge whereby all could act like responsible men and women and like responsible citizens. Councilman Janes stated he believed they would have a peaceful demonstration, and he believed a parade permit submitted in the normal channels might receive favorable vote. Councilman Price noted the boys were fighting to keep this country free, and in this Country it is necessary to have law and order and people to look after the laws in our city. He believed had the group come in legally, and had shown good intent, they would have had the permit granted. Mayor LaRue hoped this group would prove they are responsible men and women and return to the Council under different circumstance, to be granted the parade request to whatever they might want. He commended them in their kindness toward the individual who spoke in opposition. He announced the Council had made its ruling. )))))) PERSONNEL The City Manager reported he had provided the Council with a memorandum regarding the Public Information Officer, who will assume duty July 1. Advertising will begin for an intern, two Assistant Managers, one to fill the Model Cities position, and one to work on the bond program. Brief discussion was held on organization of the Human Relations Department. LAKE AUSTIN PATROL The Council had received a report from the City Manager on Lake Austin, which calls for an additional patrol boat. Patrol on the Decker Lake was discussed. The City Manager reported a Park Ranger was now in training for full time patrolling on Decker. There will be a general security. The question was asked if there were a house in which the Ranger would live. The City Manager was to check. APPLICATION TO MOODY'S INVESTMENT SERVICE FOR MUNICIPAL BOND RATINGS The City Manager reported the Moody's Investment Service requires that application be made for rating of bonds entailing a charge for the first time. The bonds are scheduled for sale on May 21st, and he asked for confirmation on the application made to Moody's. This rating covers both Revenue and General Obligation Bonds.

The Fleet Administration Department notified the Purchasing Department of the need for an additional machine, and on April 20 an addendum to Price Inquiry #1298X was mailed adding one more unit to the bid. When the bids were opened on April 24, two of the four bidders responding stated they did not receive their copy of the addendum. Since the low bidder on the similar equipment on the original bid was one of those who did not receive the addendum, it would seem advantageous to the City to reject this item and rebid it. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS May 7, 197о It is the recommendation of this department that the City Council be asked to reject the bids for the one unit listed on the addendum and permit us to readvertise for bids. The three units on the original price inquiry are in order and may be awarded. 11 11 To: Mr. F. D. Glenn, Purchasing Agent Subject: Date: April 29, 1970 Evaluation of Price Inquiry No. 1298X, Tractor-Loader-Backhoe We have evaluated subject bids and recommend acceptance of the low bid for the Class I Tractor. In regard to the Class II Tractor, due to the short time allotted prospective bidders to submit their bids and considering the fact that two firms have stated they failed to receive the addendum in sufficient time to bid, we recommend that this item be thrown out and re-advertised. We believe this to be in the best interest of the City and will possibly result in a substantial savings.

Further recom- mend that the Council be apprised of the fact that there is other pro- perty immediately ad- jacent to the site com- ing in for consideration of rezoning & recommend- ed that this application be referred back to the Zoning Committee so that all of the area can be considered at one time. Mr Richard Baker represented the applicant, stating the recommendation of the Planning Commission that this application be referred back to the Zoning Committee so that all of the area could be considered at one time, was what he May 7, 1970 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS= had asked the Commission to do. MR. SIDNEY PURSER represented a large majority of people affected on both sides of Sagebrush Trail and Tejas Trail, and asked the Council to hear this case today. He had a petition signed by 100% of the property owners on both sides of the streets affected by this zoning except the Church property. In 1964 when the first zoning took place, the opponents agreed if a buffer zone of "BB" Residence were created between them and Western Trails Boulevard, they would not object to the "C" Commercial zoning. Now there is a requested change of the buffer zone, which of course, would extend to the other tracts south of Western Trails. He asked the Council to leave the property "BB" Residence. Mr. Baker stated shortly after his client had filed for rezoning, they were advised that the owner of Tract 3 was bringing this tract back for rezoning to "IR" Local Retail; and it was then that he asked the Commission to ask for a referral back to the Zoning Committee, and consider the whole area. Baker stated circumstances had changed since 1964. He listed changes that were underway. Opposition was expressed by Messrs R. S. WILLIAMS, JR., ELIZABETH HAYES, VICKIE NEW, and others. It was pointed out the present zoning would permit apartments 30 units on Tract 1; 60 under "B" Residence. Finally, after more discussion, Councilman Price moved that Tracts 1 and 2 be left "BB" Residence in order to settle this while the people are here. No second was heard. Mayor announced that the motion died for lack of a second. Mr. The Councilman Janes moved that the Council refer this zoning request back to the Planning Commission.

DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED SIDEWALK POLICY The City Manager read a report on a proposed sidewalk program, concurring that sidewalks for elementary schools should carry top priority and recommending an expenditure of up to $200,000 for school sidewalks between now and September 1st, thus providing sidewalks to approximately 20 elementary schools. Priority would be determined through cooperation of the School Board. Since this proposal is directed toward school safety, he suggested that the Council consider a policy of constructing sidewalks at no cost to the property owner, as it appears that the provision of sidewalks without assessment is the most equitable means at this time. The Council discussed the program, noting the four foot sidewalks probably would follow the curb line on one side of the street approaching the school property. Council members urged that all efforts be made to save the trees when possible. Mayor LaRue pointed out the possibility of participation of the Model Cities area. The City Manager noted two items were involved: (1) Amendment of the Master Plan for these sidewalks, and (2) Appropriation under the Capital Improvement Program. Councilman MacCorkle moved that the Council instruct the City Manager to proceed and work out the details.

DAN DAVIDSON, Deputy City Manager reviewed the present ordinance requiring property owners to maintain their property in a manner not to create a health nuisance to other property owners. He described the procedures of notification and assessing the cost as a lien against the property. The Parks and Recreation crews clear these lots on the week-ends on overtime basis. The cost of manpower on overtime basis, and cost of equipment have been the basis for the assessment of the lien against the property. Bids had been advertised for, contracting this work on a per square foot basis. Three bids were received, and the low bid was SOUTHWEST DEMOLISHING COMPANY at .019994 per square foot. This Local firm can accomplish the job as specified. The total value on lots to be cleared under this method is estimated at $23,000. Administration is of the opinion this is a good solution and recommends this procedure. The $23,000 would be returned to the general revenue fund.
