Austin Tackles Parades, Transit, City Growth
Regulating Public Gatherings and Transportation:
The city hotly debated a new ordinance to regulate parades, including requirements for permits and cash deposits, drawing concerns from citizens about freedom of speech. Separately, new franchising rules for buses were discussed, with a major university shuttle service expressing worries about its future operations.Rapid City Expansion and Land Use Changes:
Austin actively pursued growth, scheduling public hearings for the annexation of over 90 acres of land and approving the annexation of another 2.38 acres. Numerous zoning changes were also enacted across various neighborhoods, shifting land use from residential to commercial, industrial, or office districts.New Policies for City Venues and Environmental Concerns:
The city set clear policies and tiered pricing for dances held at the Auditorium and Coliseum. Simultaneously, discussions began on identifying and addressing significant wastewater pollution problems throughout the city, a fix estimated to take over three years.Addressing Blight and Managing City Property:
A specific rooming house was declared a fire and health hazard, with recommendations for its closure until brought up to code. The city also decided to proceed with selling approximately 275 parcels of surplus land.

DAN FELTS, representing TRANSPORTATION ENTERPRISE, INC., reported their transporting from 12 to 15,000 students daily in the University area under contract with the University had eliminated a great amount of traffic in that area. He understood the University desired this contract to be extended, and bids for shuttle bus service were taken, and TEI was the low bidder. Mr. Felts stated the effect of the three ordinances proposed to the Council would put TEI out of business. When the Board of Regents is assured that TEI can continue to operate, they will formalize the three year contract to continue the shuttle bus operation. Should this ordinance be considered, he asked, since it takes 90 days for a franchise to become effective, that the September 7th date in the ordinance be extended. He pointed out TEI was a company composed solely of Austin citizens. He asked if the Council did pass this ordinance that it be amended in the definition of a government bus, that the effective date be extended, and that a grandfather clause be included.

H. 35 via Bluestein Boulevard and Ben White Boulevard, establishing a lower speed limit on I. H. 35 to encourage the trucks to use Ed Bluestein Boulevard at a higher speed. The visibility on I.

They have not evaluated the problems ahead yet as to the time it will take to make corrections to the waste water collection system now, although it is estimated it will take some three years or more to solve the problems. Putting storm sewer waters into the sanitary sewer system is not the answer, but would render that system useless. The City Manager said he would have a preliminary report for the Council on the findings, and have a final report by the 28th. Councilman MacCorkle urged the citizens to do an individual cleanup of their properties. MR. DIXON spoke on pollution, and environmental controls. MR. JOIN PRAGER, 3405 Avenue D discussed low flow augmentation of Shoal Creek or Waller Creek. MR. JOHN CHRISTIAN, economist, discussed population growth reduction. PROPOSED SALE OF SURFLUS REAL PROPERTY MR. JOE MORAHAN, Land Division, reported the Council had a list of approximately 25 tracts of land, which all departments had indicated they woul.d have no need for, and these lots can be offered for sale with certain reservations as shown on the individual plats.

The motion, seconded by Councilman MacCorkle, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Atkison, Gage, Janes, Johnson, MacCorkle, Frice, Mayor LaRue Noes: None U.S.D.A. LUNCH PROGRAM MR. DAN DAVIDSON, Deputy City Manager, reported the City Manager's Office had made a concentrated study of this program, and summarized points which are essential for consideration of such a program. The youth centers under the summer recreation programs, close for a lunch period, allowing the children to return to their homes for parental supervision, naps, or for other requirements that are not provided by the Recreation Program. This policy is wide spread throughout the cities. Mr. Davidson said this Lunch Program is one that should. be offered by institutions already dealing in nutritional probl.cms for underprivileged youths, and familiar with the needs. This program would not fit in with the established recreation program, and the administration does not recommend that the lunch program be sponsored by the City of Austin. The Mayor stated such a program would fill the needs of children in the low income area in a day camp, and the U.S.D.A. would qualify any other agency who is operating as a day camp. The Sunshine Camp is interested; church groups would qualify and. public non-profit private institutions would be eligible. It was suggested by - CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS May 14, 1970 Council members that this information be made available through the press and fror the Manager's office to organizations or entities that would want to participate in this program. 554 REQUEST TO DISCUSS PARADE ORDINANCE MR.

Next in line was Councilman Johnson, who on May 16th would become Mayor Pro-Tem Johnson.
