MAXINE TATE called attention to the heavy traffic on Northeast Drive and Highway 290, asking for a reduction of speed. She stated there were four streets east past Berkman that are dangerous. The City Manager stated he would have the Traffic Engineer to check this out. It was noted particularly the 7:00-8:00 hours were key hours for this speeding traffic. TRAVIS COUNTY DEMOCRATIC WOMEN'S COMMITTEE DISCUSSION OF FISH HATCHERY LAND Mrs. Edith Buss, Travis County Women's Committee, read a statement regarding the request of Mr. Frank Erwin for a letter of approval of a Geriatric Center to be located on the tract of land referred to as the Fish Hatchery Tract, maintaining lack of information regarding the Agenda item. The statement listed recommended steps to be taken that any action taken to date on this land be rescinded, and any letter to the Federal authorities giving approval be halted or negated; that it be determined who is the legal holder of the land; and if the land belongs to the City, legal measures should be taken to insure its continued ownership; if not, the Council should take steps to insure that part of the land can be acquired for theCity's recreational and educational needs; and place the matter of theFish Hatchery Land on the Agenda when suitable, so the Legal Department could have the answer for the public. It was pointed out publicity had been given in the news media about this matter's coming before the Council this date, and that exhaustive research had been made previously to determine whether or not the City had title to this tract, and it was determined it did not. Mayor LaRue stated this tract had been studied carefully with Congressman Pickle. The Council discussed this matter at great length. It was pointed out there seemed to have been no reversion clause in this 1940 transaction. TAXICAB HEARING- HARLEM TAXICAB COMPANY TEN ADDITIONAL TAXICABS At 10:00 A.M., Mayor LaRue opened the hearing on the application of Mr. George Knox, Harlem Taxicab Company, to operate ten additional taxicabs in the City. MR. JAMES W. TOWNSEND, Attorney, represented Mr. George Knox. No opposition appeared from other cab companies or anyone interested in this additional number of cabs. Mr. Townsend stated Mr. Knox owned two franchises, one for 15 cabs, and the other for 13, all properly insured and in line with the requirements of the Code, and that he has been operating since 1942. He proposes to buy five 1971 cars and to lease five. If necessary, he will buy all ten cabs. The convenience and need for these cabs are borne out as 22 million visitors came through Austin in 1969, over 6,000,000 coming by commercial carriers. Over 250 conventions were held last year. Numbers of offices are moving from down-town. Mr. Townsend had ministers from four large churches and representatives from grocery stores and washaterias, testifying to the need for cab service. Nursing home representatives and doctors were ready to testify to the need. Councilman Price pointed out the need for more and better cabs, and the ability to get cab service after 9:00 or 10:00 P.M. MR. JOHN GERMAN, Traffic and Transportation, reported at the administrative hearing it was found that Harlem is using all of the cabs, and there is a need for the additional ones. The parking lot was つ C C _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS- September 24, 1970 1012 discussed, and it was noted the unpaved portion of the lot should be paved as required by the zoning ordinance. Mr. Townsend said within a reasonable time they would have additional parking facilities. Mayor LaRue introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTIONS 1, 2, 3, 4, 7 AND 8 OF AN ORDINANCE ENTITLED "AN ORDINANCE GRANTING TO GEORGE KNOX, DOING BUSINESS AS HARLEM CAB COMPANY, A FRANCHISE TO OPERATE A TAXICAB SERVICE IN THE CITY OF AUSTIN, AND PRESCRIBING THE TERMS, CONDITIONS, OBLIGATIONS AND LIMITATIONS UPON AND UNDER WHICH SUCH FRANCHISE SHALL BE EXERCISED", FINALLY PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN ON THE 20TH DAY OF SEPTEMBER, 1951 AND RECORDED IN ORDINANCE BOOK "Q", AT PAGES 660-662, OF THE ORDINANCE RECORDS OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN, BY AMENDING SECTION 1 THEREOF PRESCRIBING THE NUMBER OF TAXICABS AUTHORIZED TO BE OPERATED, BY AMENDING SECTION 2 THEREOF PRESCRIBING PAYMENTS TO BE MADE TO THE CITY, BY AMENDING SECTION 3 THEREOF PRESCRIBING RECORDS TO ΒΕ ΜΑΙΝΤΑΙNED, BY AMENDING SECTION 4 THEREOF REQUIRING A PERFORMANCE BOND AND PUBLIC LIABILITY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE INSURANCE, BY AMENDING SECTION 7 THEREOF REQUIRING COMPLIANCE WITH CITY ORDINANCES REGULATING TAXICABS, AND BY AMENDING SECTION 8 THEREOF PRESCRIBING CAUSES FOR FORFEITURE AND CANCELLATION; PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION AND THREE SEPARATE READINGS.

FRANCHISE FOR BUS SERVICES IN THE CITY At the scheduled hour, Mayor LaRue opened the hearing on the Franchise Ordinance providing bus services in the City by Transportation Enterprise. MR. DAN FELTS, representing Transportation Enterprise, Inc., stated the ordinance granting a franchise for five years was up for final passage. He stated as a matter of record the paragraph pertaining to the semi-annual payments of $500 to the City, and a gross receipts tax of 1/10 of 1% of all gross revenues per annum, would relate only to gross revenues derived from operations under this franchise and not from other operations of the company in other parts of the state. The City Attorney, Mr. Butler, stated this would be the interpretation that only the revenues included under this particular franchise would be C _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 24, 1970 1013 included. Mr. Butler also pointed out a possible amendment to the scale of the gross receipts tax. Opposition was expressed by HORACE WILLIS, on behalf of the Booker T. Washington Advisory Committee -- not against the franchise but against the rates. MRS. LETA MAYFIELD commented there were no holiday or Sunday bus services; MRS. CANINO, G. I Forum, complained about the types of busses and asked for a subsidy for the families in Johnston School area who cannot afford the $2.00 fare per child. Mr. Felts gave a report on the bus supply in the nation; that his clients had ordered proper equipment with hand rails and bell signals were being installed. Those testifying for the necessity and convenience were MISS SUSAN SNADERS, 1020 East 45th, who rides the bus from 45th to town and who was asking that the franchise be granted; MISS JANE WELBURN, City National Bank, used the bus from her home to town, even though she had a car, and pointed out there was a need for bus services; MR. C. E. HOWELL, 104 East 46th Street, Retired, needs bus services to make periodic visits to his doctor's and depends on this bus service all of the time; MR. ARLOS D. GUNN, 9003 East Drive, likewise needs bus service to go to his doctor's, and asked the Council to grant this franchise for bus service in Austin; MISS LEE ANN GUNN, a baby sitter, does not drive a car, thus depending on bus services to help her earn her livlihood; MR. LEROY McCASLIN, 2717 St. Edwards Circle, needs the bus service for shopping, and for transportation to his employment. MR. SCOTT KELLER, President of Transportation Enterprise, stated this Company was operating the same schedules basically as the former company did; and they are ordering and receiving buses daily. As to the statements about the fares, he stated the present fares are necessary to keep in operation. Mr. Felts stated he would not want to preclude himself of coming back for a rate increase, as they had not enough experience to determine the entire operation. He urged the Council to pass this ordinance on the final reading. MR. WILLIS spoke at length about instituting a subsidy to take care of the special school buses for the poverty areas. Councilman Johnson did not favor passing the additional cost of operation of a special school bus to the riders who are attempting to earn a living. He believed the responsibility of school buses belonged to the School Board. He suggested that Mr. Willis and his group go before the School Board. MR. SCOTT KELLER stated they had not been approached by any representatives or any group in regard to what they were doing or what they would do, and this Company was certainly open to suggestions and constructive criticism. It was suggested that if there was that large a number of students that are going to be affected, that maybe the parents could get together and work something out with the company to reduce the per day cost. MRS. GUERRERA listed a few complaints -- slippery steps, no hand rails, no bells, buses too small, and others. Mr. Felts answered the allegations -- the pull cord for the bell is installed in some of the buses; and are on order for installation; handrails are installed in some of the buses; school buses are required to have an emergency door; and some buses have three doors. MR. WOODROW SLEDGE spoke about school transportation. Councilman Janes moved the hearing be closed.
