FOREST PEARSON, Austin Housing Authority, reported on plans and status of the various projects listing 266 units in the final state of planning, 472 turnkey units ready for approval by HUD, and modernization of the Booker T. Washington and Meadowbrooks Projects. He mentioned concern about not getting to move the hot water heaters from each of the units. The last two fires were caused by gas stoves being turned on by children and ultimately the pilot from the hot water heater starting the fire. Councilman Johnson asked if the specifications for the 266 and 427 units called for "all electric". Mr. Pearson said this had been explored, but each time, architecturally the "all electric" was laid aside. It was felt the combination of gas for heating primarilynot for cooking--was the better. Councilman Johnson asked since the "all electric, "Apartment" condominimum" rates had been applied, had this matter been reviewed. With the safety factor they were experiencing--removal of gas hot water heaters, the electric hot water heaters would pose no problem. The City Manager suggested that the Housing Authority explore this in light of the new all-electric rates, and that Mr. Pearson might want to bring back to the Council the actual findings from the architects. Mr. Pearson stated this was a sound idea. Councilman Atkison noted the possibility of encountering not only higher cost of gas in the future, but some shortage, and suggested that the engineers in making the findings they did might want to consider the factors as exist today. Mr. Pearson filed an Annual Report with the Council and delivered a check in the amount of $34,945.99 in lieu of taxes. 991 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS August 20, 1970 ENGINEERING FIRMS FOR CONSULTING & DESIGN SERVICES CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROJECTS The Council authorized the City Manager to negotiate with the firms selected; and if negotiations do not materialize, then the City Manager would come back to the Council regarding engineering services for the following projects.

It was not known how much land would be needed for 35th Street cut-off, so the City retained the right to purchase right of way out of this block at $1.14. The Corporation is willing to give this land to the City to clear the spectre of right to repurchase that is hanging over Block 16. the City Manager's recommendation that 37th Street and the alley be vacated and that the utility and drainage easement be released, as well as the repurchase rights.
