Mr. Dick Jordan, Building Official, reported on the Navigation meeting held last week, in that the Board wants to make a physcial examination of the lake by boat, and complete an extensive study of boatdocks and other items concerning the lake in general. Councilman Friedman asked if the Board were following the pattern indicated by the Council on boatdocks, as in one case, it had rejected a 50' dock. Mr. Jordan reported this particular dock would have created a hazard. Councilman Lebermann understood that all requests for boatdocks were being held in abeyance until the report from the Board came back to the Council. Mayor Butler expressed concern as to the quality of the structure, types of workmanship and material, stating it was encumbent on the Council to protect the appearance, integrity as well as the safety. Mr. Jordan anticipated rigid recommendations by the Board from a safety standpoint, an inspection requirement. Mayor Butler suggested that building restrictions be set on the lake, and stressed this was something to which the Council should address itself. He stressed the standards and quality, studying standards, quality and the distances extending into the lake. Councilman Nichols moved the Council adopt a resolution approving the following boatdock: W. C. Hayes part of Lots 64 and 65, Block A, Rivercrest Addition, Section 2.

The motion, seconded by Councilman Lebermann, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Butler, Councilmen Dryden, Nichols, Mayor Pro-tem Love, Councilmen Lebermann, Friedman, Handcox Noes: None RENEWAL OF BOILER & MACHINERY INSURANCE Mayor Butler stated this insurance is required by law to protect the bonded indebtedness of the City. Only the "deductible" is negotiable. The Mayor asked the City Attorney to give an opinion on the Council'a bidding on these types of items in the future. As far as commissions being negotiable, one agency might be willing to write this at a lesser commission than another, at a savings to the City. The City Attorney stated he would submit a report. PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR REMEDIAL WORK ON CONCRETE SPILLWAY AT DECKER DAM Councilman Dryden recalled the discussion on the matter of repairs to the concrete spillway at Decker Dam on October 29th, followed by correspondence with Brown & Root. Mr. Webber, Brown & Root, in reply, said it had been anticipated that this movement would take place at the time the dam was built. Councilman Dryden asked that representatives of Brown & Root meet with the Council and discuss this matter, and he still requested such meeting, before spending $4,800 on a project for which the City had already paid a million dollars. It was stated the representatives would be pleased to appear before the Council and answer questions Councilman Nichols asked the City Manager to furnish information as to how many millions of dollars the City had paid Brown & Root in the last 15 years. Councilman Dryden had reviewed materials that Mr. Ruess, National Services, Inc., who had made an on-site inspection with representatives of Brown & Root, had furnished, and it appeared that some of this work might be done by City forces. He inquired if this were the case. Mr. Hancock reported that City forces are familiar with epoxies, but not familiar with structures of this type. He stated the problem involved engineering expertise, soils information, preparation of plans and specifications, and submittal to and approval of the Water Rights Commission. Part of what they were purchasing was guidance and expertise, either from Brown & Root or some other consultant. Mayor Pro-tem Love stated when the Council was seeking services of engineers, architects, etc., the City Manager had submitted at least three names of companies who could do the job, and he suggested that this matter be handled in the same manner. After discussion, Mayor Butler said this matter would be on the Agenda next week for a selection from two or three engineering firms. C C در C C CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 44 January 20, 1972 LEAGUE OF AMERICAN WHEELMEN * Mr. Keith Kingbay, representing League of American Wheelmen, spoke on bicycling, safety, and education, stressing bicyclers following the traffic laws. Mayor Butler welcomed Mr. Kingbay to the City and to the Council Chambers. MASS TRANSIT REPORT Mayor Butler made an announcement on the mass transit application, stating a call had been placed to Mass Transit Office in Washington, D. C. Basically he said the disucssion resolved down to several items to be acted upon this morning. (1) Assurance that the Council is to absorb or assimilate the shuttle bus system into the transportation system; (2) Manner in which the bus system is to be operated -- whether it will be under a management contract or a private sector company. It was recommended by the Washington Office that the private sector company be used. Due to a labor negotiation requirement, it would delay labor negotiation six months at least if this route were not taken. Councilman Nichols moved the Council vote to have the City absorb the shuttle bus system as soon as practical and possible, and that the new bus system would be operated under a Management Contract which will protect the union contract and the existing bus company employees. Councilman Dryden seconded the motion, which carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Butler, Councilmen Dryden, Nichols, Mayor Pro-tem Love, CouncilNoes: men Friedman, Handcox None Not in Council Room when Roll was called: Councilman Lebermann ZONING HEARING The Council had before it the zoning case scheduled for this time for public hearing as follows: DAVID B.

REJECTION OF BIDS - INSURANCE Messrs. Shackelford and Tom Hardy, representing Great Western Life Insurance Company were present. Councilman Dryden opened the discussion based on the 9% interest charge.. Mr. Tom Hardy, Great Western Life Insurance Company, claimed this company had adhered to the specifications as submitted and was the low bidder. Mr. Barker, Director of Finance, said various health insurance companies were consulted in drawing up the specifications. One question concerned accidental death and disability, if it should be experience-rated or pooled. If they went the experience- rated direction, some companies would be barred from bidding, so this item was left open for the company's determination. Four bids out of 17 invitations were received. Three companies went on a pool basis, while one bubmitted an experience- rating. On an experience-rated method, the City had saved an average of $16,000 per year over the previous 10 years. Had a bid been accepted on a pool basis with facts as they were then, the successful bidder would not only have the percentage factor, but the $16,000-as profit. On checking back with these bidders, it was evident there was not a meeting of the minds. It was then recommended that these bids be rejected. Mr. Hardy's company met the specifications in the original specifications. Mr. Baker explained the views of both companies as to guaranteeing a firm bid beyond the first three years. Mr. Hardy said he understood the interpretation. Mayor Pro-tem Love analyzed the situation in that the original request for specifications, it was upon the receipt of four out of 17 that the Staff came to the conclusion the original specifications were not adequate. Mr. Baker agreed this was a complex area, and they were going back to two of the former bidders and ask them to help in the specifications, Mr. Hardy being one of them. The four companies were Connecticut General, Great Western, Republic Life, and Blue Cross-Blue Shield. The recommendation was that the Council reject these bids, and that new bids be taken on a pool basis. Councilman Dryden moved the Council adopt a resolution rejecting the bids. The motion, seconded by Councilman Handcox, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Pro-tem Love, Councilmen Lebermann, Friedman, Handcox, Mayor Butler, Councilmen Dryden, Nichols Noes: None The City Manager said the Council would have a written recommendation. Mr. Barker, Director of Finance, stated the recommendation was to reject the bids; and the authorization to take new bids on a pool basis or experience-rated basis, the recommendation being on a pool basis. ΜΑΙΝΤΕΝΑNCE AGREEMENT The City Manager, Mr. Andrews, had furnished the Council with copies of the proposed contract between the State Highway Department, the School District, and the City of Austin. Mr. Don Butler, City Attorney, described the access road running under Mo-Pac through the School District site and back to West 1st Street referring to a sketch on the board. He pointed out the right of way which the City would acquire at the School's expense for anything the City did not own. در i : 5.1 C CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 20, 1972 It was agreed that the City would dedicate the public street and maintain it. No mention is made in the contract concerning that part of the road which runs through the School site. Included also was the joint use of recreational property and an easement would be given for a roadway into that area, but the Schools would be responsible for that maintenance. The State Highway Department proposes that the entire strip become a City street, with City maintenance plus relocation of utilities by the City. The recommendation of the City Attorney would be that the School District, the State, or someone other than the City of Austin reimburse the City for any right of way out of the area; and that the School District agree to the maintenance of certain areas, up to the interchange. The City should receive fair market value for the right of way. The Council agreed. Councilman Dryden moved that the Council proceed along these lines as discussed. The motion, seconded by Councilman Lebermann, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Lebermann, Friedman, Handcox, Mayor Butler, Councilmen Dryden, Nichols, Mayor Pro-tem Love Noes: None Mr. Don Butler, City Attorney, stated this should be in the proposed contract for all parties concerned.

Mr. TankersleyPeat, Marwick, Mitchell & Company stated they had made a number of recommenda- tions. Memberssof the Council had not had the opportunity to review the Audit at this time.

HEARING ON PROPOSED MOBILE HOME ORDINANCE At 2:00 P. M., Mayor Butler opened the hearing scheduled at this time on the proposed mobile home ordinance. Mr. Dick Lillie, Director of Planning, reviewed the legislation the Council had before it beginning with early trailer, and folloiwng up on to the mobile home type of construction, as possibly a permanent installation, which is inconsistent with the building, electric, plumbing, and housing codes. The local Mobile Home Association and the Texas Mobile Home Association were called in to help draft an ordinance that would meet the requirements of the City. Discussion was held on a "MH" Classification, and an addition that mobile homes on single lots in any section oftthe City would be prohibited. The mobile home does not meet the various building codes of the City, and the solution would be in either setting up standards for mobile homes within each code that would embrace the unique characteristic or by adopting the Uniform Standards Code for Mobile Homes. Mr. Lillie discussed the mobile home outside the City limits, and the use under the Master Plan, stating this could be controlled through a utility hookup. He added the Council may want to insert into the ordinance a way for the lower moderate income family to place mobile homes within the City. Taxation of the mobile home was discussed; if the party who owns a mobile home, also owns the lot, the property is taxed as real estate; in the instance of a location in a park, the mobile home would be taxed as personal property. Mr. Carl Morris, President of the Capital City Chapter of the Texas Mobile Home Association, and Mr. Will Earl, attorney, represented the group. Mr. Ken Zimmerman, Austin Association of Home Builders, and Mr. Frank L. Wright, representing a number of West Austin residents who are concerned about mobile homes in a residential area, expressed themselves in favor of the ordinance. Councilman Lebermann moved that for advertising reasons and for ordinance purposes, the recommendation that a mobile home not be permitted in "A" residential neighborhood be included for continued consideration in the ordinance; and that t where the mobile home park abuts "MH", "о", or less restrictive, fencing would not be required, but only when abutting "A", "BB", and "B" zoning.

The motion, seconded by Mayor Pro-tem Love, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Lebermann, Friedman, Dryden, Nichols, Mayor Pro-tem Love Noes: Mayor Butler, Councilman Handcox 55 Mayor Butler announced this ordinance would be advertised and the final form will be acted on about February 10th. WESTLAKE HILLS - Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Mayor Butler stated the Council at this time felt the item of extraterritorial jurisdiction between Westlake Hills and Austin should be postponed until it could be held as a regular hearing. Mr. Sterling Holloway, attorney, representing owners of large numbers of acres, and stated there are other people representing several thousand acres. They received only yesterday a draft of these proposals. Due to its importance, he asked that this hearing be deferred until he could have both legal and factual implications for study, particularly related to two law suits over a five year period that the City had successfully prosecuted. Mr. Garwood represented Westlake Hills, and Mr. Kilgore represented the Robinson Trusts. Councilman Lebermann moved the Council set 2:00 P. M., February 17, as the day to hear this extraterritorial jurisdiction matter.

KUT would absorb the cost for equipment and personnel, and they request that the Council sustain the cost for installation and maintaining of the radio line; a minimum requirement of $30.00 per installation, and $18.00 a month, or $216.00 annually, and the installation cost of $30.00. Mr. Herbst proposed to broadcast the total session with no editing. Councilman Friedman stated should the Council not decide to continue the weekly charge, it would be up to Mr. Herbst. This was Mr. Herbst's understanding also. Expansion into the neighborhood meetings was desirable. Mayor Pro-tem Love endorsed this proposal. Councilman Friedman moved the Council authorize the installation of this weekly broadcast.

Mrs. Jackie Hargrave, stated the racing left the sail boats out completely, and they could not use the lake for seven week-ends from April through October, and that affects a heavy part of their business. The question mainly centered toward the circle races. Mr. Beckham stated something could be worked out.

Mayor Pro-tem Love stated his motion was to ask the City-appointed Navigation Board to meet with these representatives and other interested parties, such as these groups, or citizens, to discuss this entire matter. Councilman Dryden stated it was imperative that the safety precautions be worked out if the request is granted. MR. BOB WHITE TO PRESENT SOFTBALL FACILITY NEEDS Mr. Bob White, President of the Austin Softball Association, gave a background of the softball program including its growth in Austin.

From 140 to 228 teams participating, since 1967, plus 65 fall teams. If the trend continues, it may be necessary to turn down teams. They have been working on a complex for Austin over a long range period; and if they could come up with a 24 field comples, this would serve the needs of Austin, and release the other fields to the playgrounds. The site discussed was located at Decker Lake. He understood there was $75,000 earmarked for softball. this were not available, he asked that the Parks and Recreation Department be authorized to transfer money so that this complex could be started this year, as there is a definite need for more softball facilities.

Mr. Kiltgaard described the construction of the houses in this neighborhood as being of concrete block. This particular structure is a duplex upstairs and down. The buildings have experienced considerable deterioration either by method of construction or from the soil condition. This property is appraised for $10,462. The range of sales are from $8,000 to $18,000 depending on maintenance. The rental of this is $200.00 a month He stated from all information they were able to obtain, the Department believes that the $10,400 is a reasonable estimate of the market value. i C _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 58 January 20, 1971 Mrs. Barkham was of the impression that the building had been reduced to $75,00 due to the crumbling blocks. Mr. Kiltgaard stated an additional 20% depreciation had been allowed on this property due to its deterioration. It was pointed out to Mrs. Barkham the assessed value would be $7,820.00 Mayor Butler announced the Council would take this appeal under advisement. MARVIN A.

The front portion of the property is in the City, and in the School District. The five acres in the rear is in the City and in the Del Valle School District. This is the mobile home park. Mr. Kiltgaard listed the appraised value at $30.00 a front foot, the same as all property on this side of the highway. The back portion is appraised at $3,500 an acre. The property adjoining is $3,000 an acre, as it is farther removed from the highway. Mr. Kiltgaard noted Mr. Bergstrom's property had a $500 an acre lower appraisal in recognition of a drainage way. Property across the street is justification for the values as there are two recent sales in the area immediately across the street from Mr. Bergstrom's property. That land sold for $5,00 an acre. Mr. Kiltgaard stated the value placed on Mr. Bergstrom's property was in keeping with the market and it is prooerly equalized considering the adverse value; influence of adjoining property. He explained on mobile home parks, a unit value is placed at $1,000 each. Mr. Bergstrom stated his property had been annexed in 1970, and that placed him in competition with mobile home parks remaining in the County. He said his taxes in 1969 were $15.62; in 1970 - $180.00; and in 1971, the taxes will be over $1,000. Mr. Bergstrom was in the Del Valle School District. The Tax Assessor stated the increase in taxes was due to the annexation of the property, and a new mobile home park that was not on the rolls before. Mr. Bergstrom stated he had approximately $75,00 to $80,000 invested in this property. Mayor Butler stated the Council would consider his appeal along with other material, and try to reach a decision in a week. i ! - CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS (TAX APPEALS continued) THEO F.

He described the lot as defined by the Department and valued it at $75,00 a front foot, the same unit value applied to other property in the general area. The property is "B" residence district but not used as such. The average selling price in the area is approximately $1.50 a foot. Besides the shape of this land, there is an easement through the property, and this had been reflected in the evaluation. The improvements consist of a house built in 1931; but because of water problems and deterioration conditions due to a drainage problem on the property,, the improvements are now reduced to 27% of their replacement value, leaving $8,000 on the building, and $12,000 on the land. Mr. Keelen did not believe the lot was worth more than $75500. Because of the irregular lots, he could not build on either of the two lots. Mayor Butler stated the Council would review its information and get back in touch with Mr. Keelen. REJECTION OF BID Regarding the rejection of the bid, due to the redesigning of the project and achieving the same results for about $2,000, Councilman Nichols inquired if these designs on these various projects are being studied. The City Manager stated all were checked. Mr. Curtis Johnson, Director of Water and Wastewater, reported each design was reviewed as it came along. Councilman Nichola moved the Council adopt a resolution rejecting all bids for the installation of approximately 598 linear feet of 12-inch sanitary sewer main and appurtenances in John D. Byram Addition. (Proposed construction has been redesigned since the bid opening with a significant reduction in material and cost causing the original specifications to be invalid.) ed by Councilman Lebermann, carried by the following vote: The motion, second Ayes: Mayor Pro-tem Love, Councilmen Lebermann, Friedman, Handcox, Mayor Butler, Councilmen Dryden, Nichols Noes: None January 20, 1972 =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS ADJOURNMENT The Council adjourned.
