PUBLIC HEARING APPLICATION OF SABATINO SCONCI - TAXICAB FRANCHISE Mayor LaRue opened the public hearing scheduled for 9:30 A.M. on application of Sabatino Sconci to obtain a taxicab franchise. Mr. Jim Sparks represented Mr. Sconci in a voluntary capacity as a private citizen and witness to coordinate the presentation of his witnesses. Mr. Joe Ternus stated he had submitted a factual report to the Council. Mr. Robert Sneed, representing Yellow and Checker Cab Company stated Mr. Sparks appeared to be trying to shift the burden of proof to the opposition to show there is not a public necessity and convenience. Mr. Jim Sparks called on several witnesses. Mr. C. J. Kemp, Sheraton Crest Hotel, observed it is almost impossible to secure a taxicab at the Hotel especially on convention weekends, and during rush hours; and extra cab service is badly needed; Mr. Poloker, 303 East llth, stated with the increase in population of Austin, the demand for cab service is greater than the supply. Since buses do not run on Sundays, people depend solely on the cab services, which does not meet their demand. Mr. Bill Smith, formerly at the Crest Hotel, stated guests at the hotel had to lease cars and drive their group to various functions, as they cannot get cab service. With shopping centers and other development, a big strain is put on the taxicab's ability to give service. Rev. Keith Barts testified to Mr. Sconci's good character. Mr. O. P. Teeter, bellhop at Austin Hotel, noted the many times cab services were not available. Mrs. Victor Ruis, Jr., 1201 East 3rd, depends exclusively on cab service for her 89 year old mother; and often when they need a taxi, there are none available, and the City needs more cabs to provide more service. Mr. Robert Whittaker, construction worker, stated he sometimes had to take the person for whom his wife worked to the hospital, as they could not get a cab. Mr. Sparks entered into the Record a number of letters written by individuals, setting out the need of services of another taxicab company. (Filed with the City Clerk) He stated the witnesses presented had pointed out the growth of the city and the various needs of taxicabs to meet the growing demands. Mr. Sparks, to document his remarks, gave statistics of population growth, city and county wide; yet fewer taxicabs actually are operating now than C - CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 29, 1970 115 there were a few years ago. City population coincides with overall state increase in population and a resulting increase of visitors to the capital city; increased enrollment at the University, and seasonally the Sessions of the Legislature. He stated they had incorporated in presentation, some of the testimony presented by the Counsel for Harlem Cab Company in their application of 10 additional permits. Included in that evidence was reference to conventions in Austin; 20,684,000 visitors from other states to Texas in 1967; that El Paso with a population of 340,000 had 240 taxicabs; Fort Worth, 370,000 with 200 taxicabs and 10 limousines. Mr. Sparks pointed out there were six companies franchised, one being Airline, with one permit; Deluxe, a small company with few permits in operation; and Harlem with 28 vehicles and adding 10 permits, which they say will be operated chiefly on the East side, thus serving less than 10% of the population of Austin, there really are only two franchises with taxicabs available Checker-Yellow and Roy's Taxi. -- Mr. Robert Sneed, representing Yellow-Checker Cab Company, filed their written opposition to the application now pending. He pointed out the minimum standard under which a taxicab company would be permitted to operate by way of relationship between gross income and the number of permits that a company could use, the standard being $5,000 per year, tied to the 2% tax levied on each company, requiring $100 per year be paid to the City as a tax based on the minimum of $5,000. If the entirety of the gross receipts is used, it was found that the minimum of 223 taxicabs could operate within this standard, and there are 229 permits outstanding. Mr. Sneed said Mr. Ternus had pointed out in all probability next year no additional permits would be granted, but that permits would be cancelled. He discussed taxicab service at peak hours, and that the standards of public necessity and convenience of the minimum of the $5,000 per. cab, show an over saturation in Austin. He gave statistics of permits authorized by various cities in line with their population. Austin has a permit for 1000 for every 1078 people in the City, the greatest number of cabs per capita of any city in the State. Mr. Sneed stated their argument was the applicant had presented an inadequate case to meet its burden to show public necessity and convenience. Mr. James W. Townsend, representing George Knox, Harlem Cab Company, who was granted 10 additional cabs this morning, said they do operate chiefly on the East Side as their headquarters are there, and Harlem does operate for the benefit of 100% of the population. Councilman Price stated a main concern was the inability to get cabs at night, and the cabs are not on the streets, but on their lots, If there were во many cabs operating in Austin, there should be some on the streets servicing the people at 10:00 or 11:00P.M. He emphasized cab service to take care of the public that comes to Austin and for public transportation. Mr. Patrick Sheperd, Yellow-Checker Cab Company, brought up the question of people calling two taxicabs, and taking the first to arrive. Mr. Randolph Hawkins pointed out various problems plaguing the cab service. Mr. Joe Ternus said it might be feasible that a taxicab area, similar to what is present at the airport could be justified at the Stadium. Mr. Sparks pointed out Mr. Sconci's application met all requirements, financial responsibility and other requisites provided by the Ordinance. The opposition was represented by a legal counsel for Yellow-Checker, referring to つ October 29, 1970 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS- the Ordinance and number of permits authorized, and diverting attention from the need. Another was a cab driver for Yellow-Checker, and third, Mr. Townsend, Attorney. None introduced any opposition to this application. He asked that Mr. Sconci be granted an opportunity to provide additional taxicab service that the public witnessing here this morning stated it needed. Only support of this application came from the public sector the opposition was composed of two legal counsels and one, an employee of one of the companies. Councilman Johnson noted one large cab company in reply to a call, stated if it were not an emergency, they could not give service, as it was raining and they were trying to keep their cabs off the street. He discussed the operation and amount per permit, and it ran over $13,000 in one case and over $7,200 in another during one year. He agreed that they needed cabs on the streets. Councilman Price stated he wanted to put a cab company here which would give people service anytime day or night. Councilman Price moved that Mr. Sconci be given a permit and a franchise in this City to see if some decent cab service can be given. The motion, seconded by Councilman Atkison, failed to carry by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Atkison, Price, Johnson Noes: Councilmen Gage, Janes, MacCorkle, Mayor LaRue PUBLIC HEARING ON TRANSPORTATION ENTERPRISE, INC.-BUS ROUTES AND SPECIAL FARES Mr. Paul Bennight, Transportation Enterprises described a route extending on Northwest Hills and Westover Hills, with a proposed fare increase, since the zone fare had been dropped. This route would be from Northwest Hills to Mountain Climb, Sierra, Mesa, Spicewood Springs, Balcones, into the Barn at Highridge, to Mesa and back in the area--a 30 mile round trip from down town. The Express, after leaving 1lth and Trinity, would go to the Expressway and not stop until it reached Northland and Balcones. Mr. Bennight reviewed the extensions and deletions of other routesNorthwest Park Area, Crestview Area, Windsor Park Area, Riverside Area, Montopo- lis Area, St. Edwards Line, 45th and Guadalupe. About 52 miles of routes are being added. Councilman Janes offered the following resolution and moved its adoption: (RESOLUTION) WHEREAS, Transportation Enterprises, Inc., has heretofore made application to modify certain route schedules in accordance with the application attached hereto and marked "Exhibit A;" Now, Therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN: That said modification of route schedules be, and the same is hereby, in all things approved. vote: The motion, seconded by Councilman Johnson, carried by the following Ayes: Noes: Councilmen Janes, Johnson, MacCorkle, Price, Mayor LaRue Councilmen Atkison, Gage EXHIBIT "A" on following page.

Councilman Price voted "aye" as the routes are needed. Mayor LaRue introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE MODIFYING RATE SCHEDULE OF TRANSPORTATION ENTERPRISES, INC. The ordinance was read the first time and Councilman Janes moved the ordinance be passed to its second reading. The motion, seconded by Councilman Johnson, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Janes, Johnson, MacCorkle, Price, Mayor LaRue Noes: Councilmen Atkison, Gage TRAFFIC AROUND MEMORIAL STADIUM Councilman Johnson noted "no parking signs" along the left hand curb on San Jacinto Street had been placed for the games; yet cars park in this lane. If cars in violation were removed, there would be an additional lane. He observed there were no pedestrian control in the area, and suggested regulated crossings. Mr. Ternus, Traffic Engineer, explained this was a difficult problem, and stated parking lots were being constructed east of Red River which would help; but there will be difficulty as long as the construction around Memorial Stadium is in progress. HEARING ON AUDITORIUM IMPROVEMENTS The City Manager stated through the Capital Improvements Program, the administration had been instructed to analyze a project that would place portable-type risers in the Auditorium. It was found it would be necessary to hire an engineering firm to design these risers for the Auditorium; draw specifications, and take bids for construction. After purchase of the risers at an estimated cost of $100,000, the cost of moving in and out and storage of the risers would be excessive. A study on an alternative was made that would provide for a partition under the balcony leaving 1500 seats downstairs and about 1600 in the balcony. This would allow an area so that the accoustics would be satisfactory, and permanent type seats could be erected on this raised floor. This estimated cost exclusive of any new seats would be $50,000. This plan would reduce the usability of the first floor to an extent certain activities could not be held. Spending $100,000 on temporary risers would be a poor economic expenditure for this auditorium until a final plan could be drawn to utilize all the facilities on a permanent basis. Should a Convention Center be anticipated, from two to four million dollars could be saved by spending $50,000 or $100,000 in converting the present auditorium into a real facility. Miss Sandy Hayes, Cultural Entertainment Committee, University of Texas, stated a reduction in seating would present problems, as they could not book the prime events as before, could not have season tickets, rock groups, and others. They favored using the removable risers. Mrs. Emma Blaugh, Austin Civic Ballet, protested the proposal and asked that the removable risers be reinstated. U _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 29, 1970 1156 Mrs. Hal Finch, Junior League of Austin, asked that the proposed permanent seating be delayed, listing several groups which would be eliminated by lack of space. Mr. Don McCullough, Texas Society of Association Executives, representing over 200 societies and associations, expressed opposition and advocated the use of temporary risers until permanent plans could be drawn and an overall convention center complex could be submitted to the voters. Mr. John Nash, President of the Austin Chamber of Commerce, read a statement suggesting that a citizens committee of groups who utilize the facilities be named, and that a nationally recognized person in this field be hired by the City to do a feasibility study before any improvements were made. Mr. Frank Erwin pointed out the many activities the Auditorium provided the University, plus State affairs such as the Inauguration. In answer to Councilman Janes' inquiry Mr. Erwin stated the University would be happy to discuss a joint operation with the City which could be used as a convention center, etc. After considerable discussion, Councilman Atkison moved the Council vote that no changes be made in the seating arrangement in the auditorium until such time as a comprehensive study had been made and brought back to this Council. The motion, seconded by Councilman Gage, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Atkison, Gage, Janes, Johnson, MacCorkle, Price, Mayor LaRue Noes: None SHOAL CREEK REPORT i C C Mr. Charles Grave, Engineer, reported that the Council had instructed that they make a long range plan for Shoal Creek for next spring; but in the meantime to consider the area in most distress for immediate correction. He explained their plan affecting three lots on which erosion had been the most severe. He pointed out what work would be done now and that to be accomplished in the spring. The cost would be about $11,000, and the three property owners had agreed to participate to the extent of $10.00 a foot in the construction of the slope or about $2,320 of the $11,000. They had an agreement for entering the property and restoring the banks. It was hoped to be under construction by December 1st. Councilman Johnson moved the Council accept the recommendation. vote: The motion, seconded by Councilman Atkison, carried by the following Councilmen Atkison, Gage, Janes, Johnson, MacCorkle, Price, Mayor LaRue Ayes: Noes: None ANNUAL REVIEW OF OPERATION OF TAXICAB COMPANIES The City Manager stated the Council had been supplied with the annual review of five of the taxicab companies. The Deluxe Cab Company had not yet filed a report. Councilman Johnson wanted to know before they voted to extend these franchises who are and who are not complying with the ordinances covering neatness, vehicular qualifications, drivers' qualifications, etc. Councilmen Price and Atkison were concerned about the requirement of uniforms, caps, jackets, and cab inspections. They wanted a report in writing on the enforcement of the taxicab ordinance. Councilman Price asked that a check be made on Mr. Hawkins, as reports come in about his operation. Councilman Price asked that a check be made on Mr. Hawkins, as reports come in about his operation. CCC =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS- October 29, 1970 The City Manager was to give a complete report on delinquent cabs in two weeks. (November 12) LIONS CLUB PROJECT : Mr. Dan Davidson, Deputy City Manager, and Mr. Don Stence, Director of Planning and Design for the Parks and Recreation Department, presented the Lions Club Project. Mr. Davidson stated any agreement made was subject to Council approval, based on the original allocation in the budget last year to reinstall the fountains. They have agreed on an alternate project which they prefer. Mr. Stence pointed out the location in Zilker Park just east of the bathhouse area and north of Barton Springs pool. The proposal is for construction of a shelter slab for birthday parties-type situations in the play area, costing about $5,000. The other $5,000 would be for purchase of another piece of playground equipment composed of slides and climbing platforms. The remainder of the funds could be used for necessary fences, landscaping buffers, etc. The Lions Club and Parks and Recreation Department have jointly agreed that the funds could be so used if reappropriated by the Council. After detailed discussion of the proposed development, Councilman MacCorkle moved the Council accept the recommendation. The motion, seconded by Councilman Janes, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Atkison, Gage, Janes, Johnson, MacCorkle, Price, Mayor LaRue Noes: None PUBLIC HEARING ON ESTABLISHING A ROOM TAX SET Councilman Atkison moved the Council set 9:30 A.M.

It was determined there would be approximately 23 acres. They met with the representatives of the owner and started negotiations. The Attorney took the City proposal to Mr. Andrewartha to consider, and a meeting was scheduled, but the attorney was unable to reach his client and said they would contact the City later. No further word has been heard from them. EXECUTIVE SESSION The Council went into Executive Session. 1.
