DOBBS HOUSE CON TRACT AMENDED The City Manager stated there is in existence a ten year contract having commenced February 15, 1971, with Dobbs Houses, Inc., including the permission to sell alcoholic beverages as permitted by State law, at a rate of 12.5% of gross sales at the moment. Since liquor by the drink had not been legalized, no rate was set in the contract for that commodity. Councilman Dryden expressed concern as to the ten year contract, stating the City should not have entered into that long term lease. The City Manager stated this is an amendment to the contract, to set the percentage rate for the sale of alcoholic beverages other than beer and wine. He explained that Dobbs Houses, Inc., had to invest $50,000 to improve the restaurant facilities and $35,000 for interior decorations for the restaurant and bar. Without a ten year lease, the lessee would not have entered into the contract. Councilman Dryden emphasized his disapproval of ten year contracts. After lengthy discussion, Councilman Nichols moved the Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to amend the contract with Dobbs Houses to provide payment to the City on the sale of alcoholic beverages (other than beer and wine) as follows: 13.5% on annual volume up to $75,000 14.5% on annual volume from $75,000 to $125,000 15.0% on all annual volume exceeding $125,000 The motion, seconded by Councilman Lebermann, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Nichols, Lebermann, Handcox, Mayor Butler Noes: Councilmen Dryden, Love, Friedman CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS July 15, 1971 721 + FEDERAL GRANT - CRIMINAL IDENTIFICATION Mr. Homer Ree, Executive Administrator, reviewed the program, stating funds are available at the discretion of the Criminal Justice Council in Dallas for this system. Councilman Nichols moved the Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an application for a discretionary Federal Grant from the U. S. Law Enforcement Assistance Administration for a Microfilm Criminal Identification and Retrieval System. The Grant Application will not exceed $95,000.00. The motion, seconded by Councilman Dryden, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Dryden, Nichols, Love, Lebermann, Friedman, Handcox, Mayor Butler Noes: None FEDERAL GRANT POLICE PATROL COMMAND SYSTEM Mr. Homer Reed stated this program would make it possible for the dispatcher to locate through electronic signals the location of each Police Car.

Mr. Reed stated this actually is a research project, and the City would have a flexibility as to choice of equipment based on experience. Councilman Nichols moved the Council adopt a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute an application for a discretionary Federal Grant from the U. S. Law Enforcement Assistance Administration for federal funds in the amount of $55,300.00 for research and development of a pilot model for a Police Patrol Command and Command System.

The City Manager replied this had been a concern for some time and he offered to make further study and report back to the Council. Mayor Butler suggested perhaps a charge should be made by the City for police reports in the event of automobile accidents. つ ددد C C CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS July 15, 1971. 722 INSURANCE POLICY COVERING CERTAIN OFFICERS Councilman Nichols moved the Council vote that an ordinance that will set up the necessary funds for this $19,000 + be brought in next week.

Mr. Richard Baker, Attorney for the Gage Investment Corporation, stated this appeal was continued from the hearing by the prior Council. The Corporation paid the assessed tax in the District Court in connection with the suit filed against the City, and now it desires to have a decision on the appeal. The Board of Equalization had made a reduction on the land, resulting in a total of $400,680, still an unrealistic increase. Mr. Baker pointed out the economic useful life of the center was on the down-trend, and made comparisons with other shopping centers which either had received a reduction of the full market value by the Board of Equalization or were revalued at less than the center on an income approach, Mr. Baker had filed necessary figures with the Tax Assessor. In summary, he stated this shopping center was unique from other properties on I.H. 35. Excess traffic would preclude other developments on this particular location. I. H. 35 is to widened on this location, and the frontage raod would be placed almost to the side of the building, taking away a number of parking spaces. Mr. Jack Klitgaard, Tax Assessor, stated the property had been appraised on the fair market value, and reflected in the appraisals, taking into account all aspects of the evaluation. He explained the various approaches used in this appraisal. He made a comparison with community centers in the south west area of the country ("Dollars and Cents of Shopping Centers"), noting there is a variance of only 10 or 11% whether the "area" of the country is used or the "old and new" centers on income approach. The Mayor stated the difference in this case was the land value. Mr. Klitgaard reviewed the sales leading to the assignment of $1.50 a square foot, and the Board of Equalization made an adjustment on the property considering a drainage or creek running under the property. As to sales, no comparable property in the area was selling for less than this value. After the Council discussed this tax appeal in lengthy detail, Councilman Love moved the Council vote that the assessed value of the Gage property -- Shopping Center -- be fixed at $360,000 total as follows: Parcel No. 2-3313-0206 Mayor Butler Land Improvements Total $157,640 202,360 $360,000 The motion, seconded by Councilman Nichols, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Dryden, Nichols, Love, Lebermann, Friedman, Handcox, CCCC Noes: None 724 =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS July 15, 1971 APPEAL FROM DECISION OF PLANNING COMMISSION IN DENYING APPLICATION FOR DAY CARE CENTER Mayor Butler opened the hearing scheduled at 2:00 P.M., on appeal from decision of the Planning Commission denying Mrs. Ruby Wright's application for a Day Care Center and Kindergarten at 1811-1813 Forestglade Drive. Mr. Dick Lillie, Director of Planning, reviewed the application, describing the properties involved, and stating Mrs. Wright operates a center at Ford Village caring for 60 children. Comments from other departments mainly concerned a subdivision to join two lots together for 47 children, the site plan to show drainage features, necessity for fencing, curb returns, parking, fire estinguishers, and approval from the State and various City Departments. He listed the findings the Planning Commission must make on noise, parking, signs, traffic, etc. The Planning Commission voted to deny the request for a day care center for 47 children. A petition of 59 signatures in opposition to the Center was submitted. Mr. Stephen Orr, representing Mrs. Wright in this appeal, stated Mrs. Wright wants a permit for only 40 children, and reported that a next door neighbor to Mrs. Wright was not opposed to this center; another meighbor, a member of the Police Force, was not opposed either. The property will be enclosed with a cedar privacy fence and there will be no signs. He displayed a map showing those who favored the center and those in opposition, and pointed out those not within the 300' radius. He described the operation and supervision; the pick-up of the children will be via a driveway between the houses. He pointed out that a commercial operation would also mean commercial taxes and utility rates to the City. Since June 17th, Mrs. Wright can now keep 12 children in her own residence without a permit. Coubling the size of the residence should give equal opportunity to double the number of children. Regarding deed restrictions, he stated there are already violations of those restrictions. Opposition was presented by Mr. Lewis I. Bennett, 4712 Everglade Drive, noting the present traffic is using the residential streets in the area. He mentioned flood damage in 1965, and read three deed restrictions of the lots. This development would be an encroachment into the home owners' privacy. Mrs. Wheeless, 4704 Glen Haven, spoke in opposition, emphasizing lack of parking. Mrs. Audry Kraemer, who lives across the street, said there was a man operating a pest control business in the area; a cabinet-maker has his business in his home; some who signed the petition have moved away; there are six rent homes, one of which has a car repair shop. Mr. Orr stated Mrs. Wright's lease expires July 31, and there is an urgency to get relocated in the same vicinity. It was pointed out that Mrs. Wright, by meeting State requirements, could have 12 children in her home and 12 in the other house, without coming before the Council for a permit for 24 children. After discussing alternatives with both the applicant and the opponents, Councilman Friedman moved the Council grant the Child Care Center Special Permit for a maximum of 30 children. The motion, seconded by Councilman Nichols, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Nichols, Love, Friedman, Handcox Noes: Councilmen Lebermann, Dryden, and Mayor Butler C = CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS July 15, 1971 725 SPECIAL MEETING - 5:00 Ρ.Μ. Council Chambers Councilman Handcox moved the Council vote that a Special Meeting be called for July 21st, 5:00P.M. in the Council Chambers.

Oak Springs Library Councilman Handcox moved the Council vote that the Regular Session of July 22nd be held in the Oak Springs Library at 7:00P.M.

PEREZ APPEARANCE Mr. Valentine M. Perez inquired about a response to a complaint he had made before the Council two weeks ago, Mayor Butler explained the Council was awaiting the outcome of another incident, to review all three simultaneously. The City Manager outlined the procedures of investigating the complaints. Mayor Butler stated there should be a definite procedure in which an individual would receive a reply concerning his appearance before the Council. Discussion then was held on a possibility of making certain reports available on an individual basis as relating to facts of a particular case, but not as a broad policy. Mayor Butler directed Mr. Perez to meet with the City Manager or Deputy City Manager and review the reports the Council had been furnished. In answer to Mayor Pro-tem Love's inquiry, Mr. Perez stated he was representing the citizens, but working with various groups. He belonged to the G.I. Forum. Mayor Pro-tem Love stated the Council had gone into this matter in detail. Council man Handcox agreed there should be some avenues in which the citizens appearing before this Body could have some information about his complaint which is under an investigation. Expressing concern and sympathy in Mr. Perez's endeavors, Councilman Handcox stated at this time he did not have the full answers. Again Mr. Perez was asked to meet with the City Manager's Staff. PORTRAITS The Recreation Director, Mr. Beverly Sheffield, stated portraits of Colonel and Mrs. Andrew Zilker were given to the City of Austin, through Mrs. Davis, and the Parks and Recreation Board recommended that the City officially accept these portraits and hang them at the Zilker Garden Center. The portraits were displayed. C : n =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS- July 15, 1971 726 Mayor Butler stated there should be a resolution prepared to thank Mrs. Davis and to tell her how much the Council appreciated her passing these pictures to the City, and thanking her for her generosity in providing these paintings to the City.

Funds received by the City of Austin Police Department for the past three years.

An awareness campaign will be launched on the east side to make the people aware of their rights; also aware of policemen's rights. The groups will be available to the store front office for consultations. The City Manager asked that Mr. Barrientos send him a list of the documents requested, so that he could provide them. It was brought out some of the documents were not public records. Mayor Butler invited Mr. Barrientos and his groups to the opening of the POLICE STORE FRONTS at 2:00 P.M., July 19th.
