ANDERSON, Austin Area Conference of Churches. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Councilman Nichols moved the Council approve the Minutes of the Regular Meeting of May 25, 1972.

Mr. Gage introduced members of the Committee -- MESSRS. GEORGE NALLE, DON ABEL, JULIAN ZIMMERMAN, JAY BARNES, BILL HART, WROE OWNES, JOHNNY JONES, J. NEILS THOMPSON, AND KEN WENDLER. Mr. Gage read the report which included the reaffirmed need in Austin at an early date for new and enlarged facilities to accommodate the various needs within the City. The lack of sufficient facilities dramatically spotlights the fact that Austin is falling behind in meeting the demands of it's local citizens, and it's demands as the Capital City. Mr. Gage stated the recommendations submitted will adequately satisfy these needs and he pointed out this report is a concensus report adopted unaimously and is submitted to the Council for action. - CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 8, 1972 597 C つ し GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS FOR LOCAL NEEDS: 1. The Civic Center Concept proposed would provide facilities for the local needs of the community. 2. First class accomodations for statewide and regional conventions. 3. Complement and support without duplicating the Special Event Center, Fine Arts Center and Conference Facilities in existence and proposed by the University of Texas at Austin. 4. The proposed Civic Center complex would utilize the existing City Auditorium and Coliseum as an integral part of the complex. 5. The location of such Civic Center would utilize the Auditorium location without impinging on the open spaces and green belt existing at this site; and would extend the greenbelt and open space area. 6. The proposal provides for the addition of approximately 50 acres of open space to tie into the Town Lake South shore greenbelt and complements and contributes to the development of Town Lake according to the adopted Town Lake Beautification Plan. 7. The complex provides a unique imaginative development of the now owned and proposed land acquisition that will enhance the downtown area and extend the "Grand Axis" concept from the Capitol south on Congress Avenue. It creates the opportunity for using multiple level pedestrian right-of-ways on bridges and to span traffic. 8. Extension of the complex east on the south shore of Town Lake would enable designers to make full use of water for beautification, ingress and egress, and for engineering design concepts found in Texas only in the San Antonio Civic Center. Availability of Town Lake permits the use of water transportation to tie together Zilker Park, the Civic Center complex, Fiesta Gardens, and facilities along the water edge. 9. Proposed land acquisition effects few businesses, is not dependent on federal funds, can be aquired promptly without freezing land owners for an indefinite length of time, and provides needed land for street and bridge interchanges and improvements. 10. The projected costs of the Civic Center project are considerablyless than any prior proposal. 11. The proposed complex is a unique, farsighted and imaginative concept that includes the best and most desirable features of all prior plans while at the same time eliminating the major objections raised by the opponents of the prior announced proposals. This proposal can be supported by all of the progressive citizens of the community including downtown businessmen, environmentalists, the Chamber of Commerce, Town Lake Beautification devotees, and those who objected to the amount of the proposed cost on the prior project. This is a concept that can be accepted and supported by the citizens of Austh CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 8, 1972 598 12. The Plan provides an opportunity to attack major traffic problems that are inherent with the proposed complex extension along the south bank of Town Lake. This includes the correction of several intersections, the early design and construction of the proposed Trinity Street Bridge and the widening of the South First Street Bridge over Town Lake, the elimination of West Riverside Drive and the redesign and improvement of Contress Avenue Bridge and its intersection with Riverside Drive and Barton Springs Road. 13. This concept will unite north and south Austin; expand downtown Austin across Town Lake, and enlarge on the original plans of the founding fathers of our Capital City. 14. The Civic Center complex will enhance and add a new dimension to the "Quality of Life" concept adopted as a goal for Austin by the Chamber of Commerce. RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE CIVIC CENTER: 1. The development of a new and enlarged concept for an Austin Civic Center that will include the present Auditorium/Coliseum site and in addition, extend east to span South Congress Avenue. The exact perimeters as proposed are: From the south shore of Town Lake at the point of crossing of the Missouri Pacific R.R.; south along the east right-of-way of said M.P.R.R. to its intersection with Barton Springs Road; thence east along the north side of Barton Springs Road to its intersection with Riverside Drive; thence ease on Riverside Drive, across Congress Avenue to a point where said Riverside Drive intersects the Trinity Street Bridge; thence north on said Trinity Street Bridge to the south shore of Town Lake; thence west with the meanders of the south bank of Town Lake to its intersection with the M.P.R.R. bridge, the place of beginning. 2. To construct an Exhibit Hall and Community Center of approximately 225,000 square feet to include the exhibit area, meeting rooms, offices and storage space and an assembly and banquet hall, in a location within the proposed complex that is equally accessible to the present Auditorium and to existing downtown facilities. The cost would be approximately $7,000,000. 3. To renovate and remodel the present Auditorium as a first class performing arts theater as the first step in the design and construction of a Fine Arts Center within the Civic Center complex. The approximate cost to be $1,000,000. 4. To remodel and redesign the present Coliseum to provide added capacity, to "face lift" the exterior and to provide more adequate arena space within the enlarged structure. The anticipated cost is $1,000,000. در : _ CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS June 8, 1972 599 ) C 5. To extend the greenbelt and open areas along south Town Lake by additional land acquisition for a central city park setting; to provide for site improvement and beautification; to develop and construct new traffic patterns; to construct parking facilities; and for design and engineering of facilities and site usage. The cost to be approximately $9,000,000. 6. The Civic Center concept proposal in the amount of $18,000,000 to be voted upon by the citizens of Austin at the next bond election as may be proposed by the Council. 7. The Committee requests that it be dissolved and that a Planning and Steering Committee be established to coordinate the interests with members of the Town Lake Beautification Committee, the original Austin Civic Center Committee, the Chamber of Commerce, The Austin Arts Council, the Austin livestock group, the City Planning Department, the Austin Tax Payers Civic Center Association, and other citizens groups concerned; and to consider the desirability of employing the International Auditorium Managers Association or other professional groups for planning studies. Slides were presented of possibilities -- one of many concepts that could be developed. The fundamental concept involved includes traffic, pedestrian and automobile; and the Master Plan of Town Lake. Water would be put to many uses - transportation and beautification. A new Austin River--Congress Avenue bridge could be a pedestrian bridge under the main bridge. Congress Avenue Bridge could be a uniting factor connecting north and south Austin. He showed parking patterns. It was suggested that lake property be acquired to provide plenty of open space. For open space purchased, there is $9,000,000 for development, beautification, parking and for structures. $1,000,000 of which could be devoted to the location for the Shrine Circus, Stock show, etc. Another area could be developed into a Fine Arts Center. There is a possibility of a small train to move people. He expanded on what could take place as other ideas developed. Hike and Bike trails would be developed. Councilman Nichols asked about the status of Christie's and the Night Hawk locations. Mr. Gage stated the concept showed the boundaries, but the details would be determined by the Council. Also discussed was the Chamber of Commerce Building. Mr. Gage stated what was shown was an idea, and the Council would select its own engineers and architects to develop the area. Mr. Callahan, President of the Austin Livestock Show, stated they were interested in faciliites that would take care of their program. Last year they had 1400 exhibitors, and he pointed out the great need for facilities. His group endorses the recommendation of this Committee and retain the facility now if they could be improved. This is the center of Austin, and the people are accustomed to coming to this location. Mr. Ferris expressed concern about Christie's Restaurant which is blocked in. He asked that consideration be given to the San Antonio project. The project developed by Hemisphere is a ghost area now, and the only area of value now is the one developed commercially. Austin owns much land west of the rail road tracks to be used, and it does not have to take in this fantastic amount of land. Mr. Morton Crockett stated this proposal affected his land. The land is beautiful now and some of the members had a vested interest in the other proposal CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 20 June 8, 1972 : CCC down town. Now the south side is receiving the shifting of the monkey to the backs of the owners on the south side. He suggested rather than buying land for parking that the City go construct a high rise parking garage. He listed the amount of public property on the lake and stated it would not be necessary to take tax paying property, as the City owned so much alread. He suggested that the University of Texas should be required to provide the same off street parking that the rest of the citizens are required to provide such facilities. Mayor Butler stated this presentation was a report from the Committee and not a public hearing. Mayor Akin was recognized by the Council. Mayor Butler thanked the group for the service it had rendered, and stated the Council would take this under advisement and try to ascertain how best to approach the matter. Mayor Butler called for a motion to accept the Civic Center report. Mayor Pro Tem Love moved the Council express gratitude for this service, instructing that each one personally be notified of this action and that the Committee be dissolved as per their request. The motion, seconded by Councilman Nichols, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Butler, Councilmen Dryden, Nichols, Mayor Pro Tem Love, Councilmen Lebermann, Friedman Noes: None Absent: Councilman Handcox HUMAN OPPORTUNITY CORPORATION Councilman Nichols asked for the floor for the purpose of making a motion. The motion was a follows: "I move that the City administrative staff, acting through the Office of the City Attorney, institute such steps as may be necessary for the City Council to revoke the designation of HOC as the Community Action Agency for the City of Austin. Further, in order that the many beneficial community action programs may be carried on under proper supervision so as to provide the maximum benefit to the poor, for whom the program was designed, I also request, as a part of such motion, that necessary steps be instituted to designate the City of Austin as the community action agency. I wish it to be fully understood that these actions be carried out in such a manner that there will be no interruption of the beneficial aspects of this program but in order that, hereafter, it be fairly and properly administered for the benefit of the community it was designed to serve." Councilman Lebermann, with understanding of the last several comments seconded the motion. Councilman Friedman in discussion to the motion, stated this was a most premature and unfair motion to be made at this time. Everyone was aware of the meeting with the OEO officials from Dallas. He stated he had been given the impression that if the people in HOC, the appointees by the City, and those selected as representatives of the poor, would get together and complete and select the Board finally. If the fully constituted Board were given an opportunity there would be no consideration of the City takeover. He reviewed the philosophy behind an agency such as HOC in that those affected by HOC, develop their own C CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 8, 1972 601 programs to learn by trial and error, and have the opportunity to act on their own. Councilman Friedman did not believe the City was the proper authority to run a poverty agency. The concept of OEO and HOC was set up for the people themselves to operate. City officials could administer and watch over it, but not set up all of the guidelines. He suggested waiting to see if the Board is going to work out. Councilman Lebermann stated Dallas had recently changed to the structure that the City would be attempting to create locally. The operating agency or group is still constituted much as it is under the present situation and the poor are represented and elected just as they are now. The Board will remain a policy Board and as an operating group. Mayor Butler also noting Dallas had recently taken this same posture in relation to their program, stated this does not mean that the City of Austin would call all of the shots. He pointed out the Office of Economic Opportunity had stringent guidelines and statues under which the City would abide. Mrs. Eloise Campos suggested that the motion be delayed until the afternoon, as many people are unaware of what is happening. Councilman Nichols explained he made the motion under the "Green" amendment and they were acting within full authority to assume the responsibility of this agency and give it a sense of direction. Substitute Motion Councilman Friedman moved that any action on this matter be postponed for at least one week and set for 11:30 next Thursday June 15th, for any final decision. Mayor Butler called for a second; there being none, the roll call was held on Councilman Nichols' motion. The motion carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Dryden, Nichols, Mayor Pro Tem Love, Councilman Lebermann, Mayor Butler Noes: Councilman Friedman Absent: Councilman Handcox Mrs. Edith Bus, Democratic Women's Committee, questioned the regulation of action being taken on something that was not on the Agenda. The City Attorney explained the Council was in good order as it can instruct the staff anytime -- meeting or not. It is asking that the Staff bring in what is necessary at some later date for a determination. Mr. Clayton Plato, Assistant to Director of Administration, presently an employee of HOC inquired about the motion, and Mayor Butler reviewed the action of the Council, in instructing the City Attorney and the Staff to go through the legal steps to bring about the change in designation of HOC. The reason the Council has voted on this course is to insure that the program proceed and to assure its stability, and in their judgment, this would not affect the employment, funds, or the programs currently involved in HOC.

CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 8, 1972 612 C つ し EAST SIXTH STREET CONSERVATION ASSOCIATION Mr. David Graber, representing the East 6th Street Area Conservation Association, pointed out there has been research and some activity and interest on 6th Street between IH 35 and Congress Avenue, all of which has resulted in new hope for a dreary part of the City. This new hope springs from the formation of an association with the purpose of the conservation and respiration of the traditional, historical atmosphere, and the redevelopment of this area into a vital human environment. He listed the members of the Association and specific interests of each - some property owners, businessmen, a representative from the Heritage Foundation, Junior League, and of many such organizations. Their immedfate interest is the installation of the street lighting system now planned for East 6th Street. He urged in place of the mercury lights, usually installed on high speed expressways, that the Council direct that a 90 day moritorium on the erection of those lights and to allow the preparation of an exceptable alternative lighting system. City Manager Davidson, in reply to Councilman Lebermann, stated this suggested delay would not pose a problem, and they could work with this should the Council so desire. Councilman Lebermann moved the Council adopt the Environmental Committee request and that Mr. Graber and his citizens group be granted a 90 day delay. The motion, seconded by Councilman Nichols, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Dryden, Nichols, Mayor Pro Tem Love, Councilman Lebermann, Mayor Butler Noes: None Not in Council Chamber when Roll was called: Councilman Friedman Absent: Councilman Handcox Mr. Phillip Creer, former chairman of the Parks and Recreation Board,, now Chairman of the Austin Heritage Foundation, introduced other interested parties. Mr. Creer stated their improvement of East 6th Street would cover probably a block on either side of 6th Street from IH 35 to Congress. The Mayor thanked the groups for coming before the Council. SOUTHSIDE YOUTH CENTER LOCATION Mr. Beverly Sheffield, Recreation Director, stated a proposed recreation center for South Austin was stimulated by a group, South Austin Neighborhood Council, and for several years they have been interested in recreation, social welfare, and health needs of the children of that sector of the elementary school district. This group had petitioned the Council for year-round recreation programming at the Meadowbrook Housing project, and this was done several years ago. This group had helped develop a little park adjacent to the Meadowbrook Housing. They are interested in serving the Dawson Elementary School District and all of the children from Barton Springs Road out to Ben White Boulevard, and Congress Avenue to the Railroad tract. They speak of this as the South Austin Recreation Center, and the attendance of the young people will be by foot or bicycle. If this center is built to the capacity of the Pan American Center it will provide activities for the adults of the community and older teen-agers will come from miles away via automobile. About 20,000 square feet would be needed to accomodate the type of programs most desired. Austin has four recreation centers, each serving a different type of population because of the geographical location. The area the Neighborhood Council had ! _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 8, 1972 C requested to develop is on a city-owned tract on Cumberland Street of about 11 acres, South 5th Street and Oltorf Street, and Barton Skyway. Mr. Sheffield noted a possible extension of Stonecrest, and other right-of-way involved in this area. He pointed out the development by the Austin Housing Authority for low cost housing. This is the site presently under consideration. Funds of $400,000 would improve the building, but there would be no money for the improvement of the ground - athletic fields, water system, etc. Mr. Sheffield pointed out the Salvation Army Tract along 5th Street and Cumberland Road, about 200 yards from this property. The other land would serve this area is Gillis Park, of about seven acres, about nine blocks from this site. He stated there were access problems at Gillis Park. To use Gillis Park, the City would have to buy some land and it should open a street. Mayor Butler stated the Salvation Army was condemned to make room for the new Palm School. The Salvation Army then purchased this land on which there were several zoning adjoining this tract. Councilman Friedman discussed the two centers, stating there would be no duplication of faciliites and the two programs would not coincide and the need is great. Mayor Pro Tem Love stated some groups stated they were taken by surprise as to these developments. Councilman Nichols pointed out the hearing of the zoning cases were publicized and it was pointed out there were some 6,000 to 8,000 children in the neighborhood that needed facilities. He stated in his opinion there was room for both centers the Salvation Army's and the City's. Councilman Nichols then moved the Council instruct the City Manager to proceed with this location on Cumberland. The motion, seconded by Councilman Friedman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Pro Tem Love, Councilmen Lebermann, Friedman, Mayor Butler, Councilmen Dryden, Nichols Noes: None Absent: Councilman Handcox - City Manager Davidson stated if the Salvation Army decided to go ahead with their center, it would be a unique opportunity for the planners and directors of both of these centers to try to avoid any duplication as each could observe and plan accordingly. Councilman Lebermann listed the faciliites with 12,000 young people in the area stating the Salvation Army along with the Boys' Club, and other organizations will have all they can do to furnish the needs. Councilman Nichols stated the V.F.W. is looking for location not in this area, but in another area of South Austin where they can put in a similar installation. It will take three or four of these installations to take care of the young people in South Austin. PLAYGROUND DAY IN AUSTIN Mayor Pro Tem Love read a Resolution setting out the many recreational opportunities in Austin for all citizens designating Friday, June 9, 1972, as PLAYGROUND DAY IN AUSTIN and urging all the people in Austin to take this opportunity to discover new leisure time activity and explore opportunities offered by the City's 50 playgrounds.
