AMENDMENT TO USAGE OF MOTOR BOATS ON TOWN LAKE The City Manager stated this amendment would allow both motor boats operated by routes and excursions, transporting persons on such basis under authorization of the Council, under such terms and conditions that it might want to set up. Mayor La Rue introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 29 OF THE AUSTIN CITY CODE OF 1967 TO PERMIT THE USE OF CERTAIN MOTOR BOATS IN THE COLORADO RIVER FOR TOURS, EXCURSIONS AND TRANSPORTING OF PERSONS; WAIVING THE PROVISION REQUIRING THE READING OF ORDINANCES ON THREE SEPARATE DAYS.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM The City Manager, MR. ANDREWS, reported the Council had the recommendation of the Planning Commission regarding Capitol Improvements Program. In his re- CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 25, 1970 902 view, re recommended that the acquisition of certain properties be delayed for further discussion and planning for this fell, at which time the Council would discuss seriously land acquisition as a whole and try to set priorities. He called attention to the addedum to the C. I. P., which had been discussed but was not included in this set. Councilman Gage noted one area of the City that needed consideration--the northwest area or greater north area--in shich there are no park facilities. It was pointed out there would be a playground in connectionwith the school, but that would not be a district park. Councilman Mac Corkle stated other than fire stations and utility buildings, no public buildings had been constructed. Councilman Johnson suggested considering two or three parks in the budget for planning so that when the 71 program came up, the Council would know where to buy a park, how large it should be and what area it would serve. The City Manager stated funds were available for planning. By November, possibly a short range park plan could be submitted. Mayor La Rue stated it was the concensus of this Council that parks in the northwest area are badly needed. MR. BOB HANS, Northwest Austin Civic Association concurred in the recommendation that funds be reserved in the next C. I. P. for the northwest Austin park. Councilman Gage now was under the impression that in November, the Parks Department and Planning Commission will present some plan solving the park problems not only in the northwest area, but in some of the other areas that have high priority for these facilities. The City Manager stated there would be a park plan on those areas most in need and areas in which immediate development is needed. MR. BOB HANS, Northwest Austin Civic Association concurred in the recommendation that funds be reserved in the next C. I. P. for the northwest Austin park. Councilman Cage now was under the impression that in November, the Parks Department and Planning Commission will present some plan solving the park problems not only in the northwest area, but in some of the other areas that have high priority for these facilities. The City Manager stated there would be a park plan on those areas most in need and areas in which immediate development is needed. CROSS TOWN SEWER PROJECT MR. ISOM HALE, Consulting Engineer, presented information different from that envisioned by a consulting engineer relative to a cross-town interceptor sewer, and a comparison with the convential method of sewer lines being constructed in creeks. He had an aerial photograph of the City, and pointed out the path of the tunnel. He spoke for bring ing the sewer lines down the creek where they are now, pointing out that this would cost far less than the tunnel system. The initial cost for the tunnel would be far more. From 1986, the consultants say the tunnel method would be less expensive. He did not want to make a gamble of the amount of money estimated. He took exception to cost estimates for Shoal Creek, stating he would give an estimate more credit on experience than on soтеthing on which the City has no experience. He did not agree that a tunnel was easier to build than the present system. He pointed out the disadvantages of a tunnel. Consideration should be given to Bull Creek and Dry Creek now, and not wait for the tunnel. Mr. Hale discussed financing the sewer facilities, stating there would not be sufficient funds for the City to meet the needs for the growth in the next five years. He made a detailed comparison on the tunnel and the conventional system, stating the two systems do the same job. He pointed out this tunnel would not serve the City, as Barton Creek, Bee Creek, South Austin, 703 CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS _ Jime June 25, 1970 Walnut Creek, Decker lake area are not provided for by this tunnel. He mentioned the house laterals which have leaks as well as the lines constructed by the City. He asked the Council to further investigate this tunnel recommendation. The City Manager stated at the end of 15 years both 50 year plans would be at an even point. From then on, there is a saving cost on the tunnel plan, which would mean 35 years of profit. The Director of Water and Waste Water discussed existing systems which would be necessary to take care of existing and future situations for the north bank of the river. He pointed out the south outfall noting about a mile of the South Austin outfall is in a tunnel, which was less expensive to build than the open cut method. He explained the long range plan to pump sewage to the Walnut Creek Plant to relive the Govalle Plant which would be taking care of Barton Creek and other sewage. He pointed out on the map the line intercepting sewers coming down the creeks on the north side which would reduce the load at the Shoal Creek lift station, North Austin outfall; and would reduce the amount of sewage that would go into the river and lakes in the event of a power outage. He pointed out the necessity of enlarging the Walnut Creek Plant to 10 or 15 million gallons a day potential; in either case. MR. SCHMIDT listed reasons for his recommendation to the City Manager: (1) If the cross-town tunnel is constructed, and some of the lines south of the tunnel get over-loaded because of density increase, boring into the tunnel could be done for flexibility; (2) The tunnel would intercept the lines, and the area receiving loads from the north would be relieved: Otherwise the area with the greatest density increase would have to have a new sewer system; (3) The interceptor would be more valuable than increasing lift stations in size, pumping and maintenance; (4) As to the outfall along the river bank, he did not concur with Mr. Hale that it was easier to place a line there than a tunnel. Councilmembers discussed the question in detail and at length. The City Manager was asked to come with his final analysis and recommendation in two weeks. MR. R. M. DIXON asked the Council to consider what Councilman Atkison had brought out about the money needed to bring the plans up to meet the bacterial or virus free requirements which will be costly. Mr. Dixon spoke on this item. He discussed legislative programs on pollution, grants for sewage treatment plants, etc., all of which called for huge expenditures, and the people are already in a financial bind. As to the Horner & Shifrin report, Mr. Dixon did not agree. MR. ERWIN BLASS, President of Horner & Shifrin, listed his qualifications in response to Councilman MacCorkle's inquiries, in tunnel design as dating back to 1928 during which period he was design engineer for St. Louis, designing 10 to 15 miles of tunnel. Since 1936 he had been with Horner & Shifrin Consultant Engineers, who designed one of the largest tunnel projects in the United States, and others. He explained why only 6 or 7% of the total sewage lines were tunnel. as a new system could be designed and constructed cheaper in an open area. It is in relief sewer systems where sewers have to go through densely developed areas interfering with convenience to property owners, traffic, acquisition of easements, etc., that the tunnel system is more advantageous. Mr. Blass outlined his instructions were to determine the feasibility of a tunnel and det- ermine such feasibility on an economic basis and on an engineering basis. He said there were enough people in the field to provide competitive bidding on tunneling. ) -CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 25, 1970. 0 Mayor LaRue said the City Manager would come back in two weeks and give the Council his recommendation as to the method to be used. Councilman Price moved that the Capitol Improvement Program of 1970 be accepted, subject to the City Manager's coming back two weeks from now with planning and studies. The motion, seconded by Councilman MacCorkle, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Atkison, Gage, Janes, Johnson, Mac Corkle, Price, Mayor LaRue Noes: None Councilman Atkison stating his affirmative vote would not be a pledge of support for or against the tunnel, as that decision is to be made later. PUBLIC HEARING ON TRANSPORTATION ENTERPRISE, INCORPORATED FOR FRANCHISE Pursuant to published notice thereof Mayor LaRue opened the public hearing on Transportation Enterprise, Incorporated for franchise. MR. DAN FELTS, Attorney for Transportation Enterprise, reported witnesses were in the hearing room and some 20 to 40 outside. Those to speak for the franchise included students, employees of the University and apartment managers who can testify as to density of certain areas in the City and conditions to be considered in determining the public convenience and necessity for the requested bus service. They are present today to present their cases for a franchise for T. E. I. to operate a shuttle bus service in accordance with the contract with the University of Texas. To establish in the record figures about density within the City, he referred to and asked that the BASIC DATA TRAVIS COUNTY, 1969, BOOKLET be included in the records of this meeting. MR. FRANK DENIUS, representing Austin Transit Corporation, stipulated, and the record could show, that Austin Transit recognizes there is a public convenience and necessity for the bus shuttle service in the University area. MR. FELTS gave statistics on population, dwelling units, acreage and density, particularly of the area referred as the Riverside Area, with between 6,750 and 9,500 people. MR. FELTS called on the people to testify. MS. PATSY HANKS, Manager Estrada Apartments, 1801 South Lakeshore Boulevard, stated rental of many apartments in this area hinge on whether or not the shuttle service continues, and tenants had made deposits which would have to be returned if the service is discontinued. MR. GARLAND EVANS, Merlin Williams and Associates, leasing and property man. agement, noted there were 2,384 apartments in the area with 5,500 people, 88% of whom were University affiliated. He listed 13 apartment houses and the number of units in each. ==CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 25, 1970 705 MS. HANKS, MR. EVANS, MR. RON GIBSON, 1107 Brackenridge Apartments, doctoral candidate; MR. GREGG WILLIAMS, also a doctoral condidate; MR. MARK BLACKBIRD, Estrada Apartments, MR. TAYLOR BURN, Estrada Apartments; and MISS JACQUELYN SEIBERT, 3914 Avenue D, all emphasized the definite need of the shuttle bus, not as a convenience, but as a necessity. This service had been very efficient, had been a boon to the apartment area; and was not a duplication of any routes. When the franchised transit company serviced the area, its inability to make connections and its high costs had lost many of its riders. The shuttle bus had leiminated congestion, cut down on the number of cars, the routes were satisfactory, and their schedules were convenient. MR. BILL NALLE, Rollingwood, testified the shuttle bus had helped him, as he parked his car at his fraternity and took the shuttle bus to the campus from there. The existing routes of the other company would not provide the service that he has had. He said that it was a necessity. Managers of other apartment houses testified in the same manner. MRS. MARION HESTER, Brackenridge Apartments, noted the inability of getting nursing help or child care services at the apartments due to lack of adequate schedules by the Austin Transit. Both she and her husband used the T. E. I. Shuttle, which provided service from 6:30 or 7:00 A.M. until 11:00 P.M. MRS. CAROLYN LANE complained about the pollution from deisel buses. MRS. JANET RILEY perferred not to pay extra for air conditioned buses. MR. ALLEN, lill-E Brackenridge Married Housing Aparyments, stated drivers could not recognize 33,000 students boarding buses, but the driver of the shuttle bus running directly through the campus could recognize the students. The drivers do know their riders because most of the riders are a steady clientele who ride the bus. MRS. KAREN SEAL made a comparison of the drivers of both buses. MR. ARNOLD THOMAS GILLESPY, 4805 Evans, bus driver for the T. E. I., and student, outlined his route from Brackenridge Apartments to the University and back, stating there were three areas along the route where students could catch an intercampus bus. With his routes arranged, he could drive the bus, without interference with his school hours, and the officers at T. E. I. had been cooper ative in working this out for him. He was pleased with his part-time pay, and the periodic raises that came when the company could give them. He explained the procedure about determining whether or not one was a student. ROBERT WILKINSON, a student, and MR. TOM RATTICK, who had just been graduated, had driven buses while in school, and they agreed with Mr. Gillespy regarding identi fication of the bus clientele. MISS ROSENFIELD, who drove her car to a point and took the shuttle bus, praised the shuttle bus service to the highest, stating it was not duplicating service. MR. MARK BLACKBIRD, and MR. TAYLOR BURN, Estrada Apartments, students, use the shuttle bus service, and are discharged at convenient locations around the campus. They stated the T. E. I. had eliminated congestion and the number of wrecks in the area; the drivers, service, and routes were satisfactory, and there is a need for this service. 700 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 25, 1970 MISS JACQUELYN SEIBERT, 3914 Avenue D (Apartments) anticipated attending the University this fall and would need the shuttle bus service for transportation to the University. It runs every 15 minutes. MR. FELTS asked other students who were present, but had not testified, to stand up to be counted. He had a series of letters bearing 1001 signatures secured June 22nd, addressed to the Honorable Mayor and City Council, urging the Council to grant a bus franchise to T. E. I. to operate the shuttle bus for the University for all the preseribed routes, as a comparable service is not offered by any other party. Without the needed service provided by T. E. I., they would be without adequate means of transportation. He introduced this petition as being a part of this record. MR. FELTS read another letter addressed to the Honorable Travis LaRue and members of the City Council, stating that for the past school year T. E. I. had operated a shuttle bus for faculty, staff, and students of the University, and it had been most satisfactory and the management had cooperated in every possible way with the Student-Faculty Committee on shuttle bus operation. This shuttle bus system has been a major factor in improving the total parking and traffic situation in the University. (Letter signed by JAMES H. COLVIN, VicePresident of Business Affairs at the University.) Mr. Felts introduced the original for the record. In conclusion, Mr. Felts stated the application for franchise had been filed, and certificates from the Director of Traffic and Transportation, Public Works Department, and the Chief of Police, were attached approving all the routes described. There are some adjustments suggested by the Traffic Engineer. Mr. Felts stated the Company would cooperate with the City and the University in these adjustments. Mr. Felts stated the elements of public convenience and necessity had been made based on the data referred to the Council and the testimony of witnesses and other material supplied. This is a highly specialized type of transportation service. Should this application be turned down, it would mean the ruin of the economic and financial life of T. E. I.; and render the University ineffective in submitting bids for transportation in rendering a shuttle bus service, and competitive bidding would be out. Provisions of the franchise were discussed in detail. Local charter service was not included, but it was noted the company had a special charter per- mit issued by the Railroad Commission, authorizing a charter service to locations outside of the City. Discussion was held on the rental service of the buses. MR. FRANK DENIUS, Austin Transit Company, pointed out the seriousness of adequate insurance coverage to take care of a bus load of passengers in leased buses. Mr. Denius introduced Mr. Bonesfield, Vice-President, American Transit Company, St. Louis, Mr. Malone, and representatives of the Uhions. He doubted if this franchise were issued that Austin Transit could hope to continue its long operated transit system. He would offer no testimony at this time other than that offered August 14, 1969, and he would like to adopty all that testimony by reference in this case. He stated Austin Transit was ready, willing and able to serve the University with better and more efficient service than they are now receiving. They were a little higher on their bid, but they pay their drivers more, give them frings benefits, and the company is a big taxpayer. The Austin Transit, in times, give emergency service. They would be ) _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 25, 1970 207 willing to serve the outlying areas at $5,70-$6.00 an hour, but he believed that mass transportation is beginning to disintegrate. He introduced DR. COLWELL, Professor of utility economics at the University, for any information needed. MR. CHARLES W. HUNTER, representing employees of Austin Transit stated this matter could effect adversly 110 families employed by the Austin Transit Company and he noted no one mentioned the Negro community, Mexican Americans, the low income people working who need transportation. He did not want to see their means of travel disintegrated also. He forsaw municipalities operating the transit system free. MR. FELTS, in rebuttle stated the students themselves established they did not ride the service of Austin Transit prior to the institution of the shuttle bus service; thus the shuttle service captured no business from Austin Transit. The financial report of the Austin Transit for 1968 and 1969 shows in 1969, the Austin Transit Company's revenues and income greater than in 1968, although a portion of a large sum sent to the parent company in St. Louis; and that the company made a substantial profit before income tax. As to service, Mr. Felts stated the T. E. I. shuttle service speaks for itself. The Council resumed its business at 4:00 P.M. after recessing for a late lunch.
