It was noted that the Council had met with the staff and department heads in a Work Session on August 7, 1974, to review the Program. Councilman Friedman wanted to know if it would be possible to allocate $100,000 for research and development to study alternatives in energy conservation without having a specific program. In response to this, City Manager Davidson recommended that unless the Energy Conservation Commission had come up with some kind of approximate figures, this should be left open; and the staff could come back to Council and request an amendment to the operating budget, depending upon the amount of money involved. 23 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS August 8, 1974 856 MS. JEAN BIZZELJ., representing the League of Women Voters, appeared to comment on (1) the Parks and Recreation Program and (2) the Transit Program. She stated that they supported the park land acquisition proposals and felt that land acquisition should receive top funding priority in the Parks and Recreation Program. In regard to the land acquisition and greenbelt projects, she expressed concern for those persons displaced by park or greenbelt development and felt that adoption of a fair and adequate City relocation policy was imperative to minimize the difficulties of people effected by relocation. They believed there should be a strong commitment to progress in the Transit Program and were pleased with the use and expansion of bus service; however, they felt that further alternatives in mass transit deserved consideration in order that public transportation be attractive to a majority of the population. In reference to Ms. Bizzell's request for a relocation policy, Councilman Friedman noted that the Council had approved as a policy the Relocation Program in relation to the Fiesta Gardens land acquisition program. In response to Ms. Bizzell's statement that it had been her understanding this was to be considered on August 22, Councilman Friedman noted that this was to determine when and where Fiesta Gardens would be expanded and that the Relocation Program was already in effect. MR. ROBERT BARNSTONE, 1114 West 11th Street, appeared to discuss the widening of Enfield Road from MoPac to Windsor as specified in the C.I.P. under Public Works, Serial. No. 75/60-09. He felt that there were certain reasons why the Council should vote to eliminate this from the C.I.P. 1. Serves as an integral part and desirable neighborhood of the City. He felt that the traffic would have a severe impact on the neighborhood and that the Council could not guarantee that it would not permit commercial development because it could not speak for other Councils. 2. Uncertainty of what the traffic would be like after the completion of MoPac and no official projection of demand. 3. Not clearly demonstrated that all alternatives had been demonstrated. As an example, he suggested the creation of a bicycle roadway and the use of center lanes at peak traffic times. 4. The number of people who would be effected. He noted that many of the property owners had been notified only this week that the street would be widened. He further noted that there was a Master Plan being developed which called for extensive citizen participation, and if this was to have any meaning at all, he did not understand how the Council could make this most crucial decision without citizen participation. MS. LOUISE JERRELL felt that the widening of Enfield would cause the area to deteriorate because the people who could afford to do so would move out of the area. She commended the Council on its recent decision of the rollback of zoning in the Old West Austin area, which she felt encouraged preservation of this neighborhood. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS August 8, 1974 857 She noted that she had read in the paper that the proposed tree ordinance was before the Citizens Board of Natural Resources and Environmental. Quality for public hearing and that the intent of this ordinance was to promote the protection and care of trees within Austin. She further noted that there were at least 60 trees that would have to be cut or removed to widen this area. also referred to the flower garden in the area, which she felt would be destroyed by the widening. She MS. SALLY WITTLIFF, 1301 Kent Lane, noted that she had been surprised to hear of the proposal for widening Enfield for several reasons: 1. She did not understand how something that would have a major impact could be planned and implemented without the neighbors having known about it. 2. She did not believe there were any major entrances or exits to MoPac. 3. There had been past assurances from City officials that MoPac would not effect existing residential family-oriented neighborhoods. She noted that through canvassing the neighbors, she had learned there was a true feeling of confusion and concern among the residents that a major alteration to the neighborhood might occur that would be a detriment to the livability and one which should not be rushed into without exhausting all other possibilities and what effect MoPac actually would have on the traffic patterns. filed a petition containing 150 signatures in opposition. She MS. PAULA SMITH, 1400 Winstead Lane, wanted to know why this widening was planned in terms of traffic. In response to Ms. Smith's question, City Manager Davidson noted that the purpose of public hearings on the C.I.P. was to get out in the open the projects that were being discussed in preliminary form and added that there were no final plans on this project because the City did not have the authority to do that. He further noted that this was the first step of many if the Council should decide it would be in the best interest of the City. Mr. Joe Ternus, Urban Transportation Director, reviewed this project by stating that it would widen Enfield from MoPac east to the 15th Street bridge and that it was 40 feet of pavement on 70 feet of right of way. He noted that the proposal. was to widen the street to 55 feet on the existing 70 feet of right of way and that it was anticipated because of the opening of MoPac in June, 1975, which would bring additional traffic into the central business district, Capitol and University areas. He noted that traffic projections indicated that 1972 volumes were in the neighborhood of 14,000 vehicles per day; by 1975 they would increase to 20,600; and by 1980, 26,000 vehicles per day. He indicated that the project would provide five ll-foot lanes which would allow the provision of the center lane being reversed during peak periods and minimizing the amount of pavement, width of roadway, and the impact on adjacent land use. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS August 8, 1974 858 He emphasized the fact that this project would not strip-purchase additional right of way along Enfield in that the only additional areas where right of way would be anticipated to be needed would be at the two curves at Woodlawn and just east of West Lynn. He felt that these two curves should be flattened because of the safety problems due to the angle. He indicated that it was anticipated that this would be a joint CityState project with the City acquiring the right of way and making any necessary utility relocations and the State preparing the construction plans and letting the contract. He added that as far as the construction date, the schedule was flexible and would be some time in mid 1975. In response to Ms. Smith's question, Mr. Ternus indicated that the $90,000 would not be for the purchase of additional right of way to complete the needed 70-foot right of way in that the City currently had the needed 70-foot of right of way and would not be acquiring any additional land to widen to 70 feet. He noted that the only acquisition would be to remove dangerous conditions in the two curves. In response to Mayor Butler's question, Mr. Ternus stated that no facilities would be removed because of the purchase of this right of way and that there would be no widening of the roadway west of MoPac. In response to City Manager Davidson's statement that there was no estimate as to how many trees would be removed, Mr. Ternus indicated that there was an aerial photograph in the first design stage that was prepared by the Highway Department and that they were looking at alternate locations of the roadway within the right of way in order to minimize the removal of trees and for provisions of sidewalks along the street and other particulars necessary before the final location would be selected. In response to Mayor Butler's question, Mr. Ternus stated that this would be a 15-foot roadway with 7-1/2 feet on each side but could be shifted one way or the other to avoid trees and to insure adequate protection for sidewalks and other facilities. DR. IRL ALLISON indicated that he had been planting Azaleas along Enfield for about 33 years, and he felt that the widening would effect him and his family more than any other property owner. In response to Mayor Butler's question, Dr. Allison stated that he planted to the curb and that he was within present regulations as far as the right of way was concerned. MR. JAMES DYESS, 1625 Enfield, indicated that he lived on the corner of Woodlawn and Enfield, (one of the curves to be flattened). He stated he was in opposition to this because it would tear up his front yard and street traffic would be closer to his house. MR. ANDRE АВВАТЕ, 1715 Enfield, reviewed the traffic problem on Enfield and the problem of getting out of the driveway. MR. TOM FAIREY wondered if there was an ability to determine how much more traffic flow there would be because of MoPac. He did not want to see this residential area become a bigger boulevard than it is. Ms. Smith wanted to know if there was any reason why undertaking this project could not be delayed until the completion of MoPac. In response to this, Mr. Ternus noted this had been authorized in the C.I.P. allowing the City to pursue plans for the project and that until after MoPac was opened to traffic. authorization to prepare the designs and they would not be letting the contract He added that it would provide the perform studies in anticipation of the CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS: August 8, 1974 859 opening of MoPac next summer. City Manager Davidson added that there was no money proposed in the C.I.P. for construction and that the Texas Highway Department would be providing the money. In response to Ms. Wittliff's questions, Mr. Ternus indicated that there would be a series of public hearings required and that there would be no commitment until the entire project would be approved by the Council and the Highway Department. City Manager Davidson reviewed this by stating that the City Charter required that the Planning Commission and City Manager submit a Capital Improvements Program for a 5-year period to the Council, which would contain ideas that would be of benefit to the public in the future. He added that if this C.I.P. were approved, this would simply direct the staff to proceed with the planning that would be required in order to reach the point where the staff could ask the Council to approve construction or purchase of right of way. further added that they must come back after the plans were completed and ask the Council to award a construction contract. He felt that this procedure, as required by the Charter, provided the most adequate protection for the public he had ever seen. He Mayor Butler noted that there would be another 5-year plan for next year and this was an ongoing, changing process. Councilman Friedman felt that by leaving this project in the C.I.P. there would be a burden placed on the citizens because the program would still be alive and, therefore, felt it should be deleted at this time. In reference to this, Mr. Richard Tulk, Assistant City Attorney, noted that the State Statute allowed for emergency items to be added once the C.I.P. was approved and did not know if this issue could be considered an emergency item. Councilman Dryden felt that this project could wait until the completion of MoPac. There was discussion by the Council with regard to postponing the funding of this project until 1.976-77. City Manager Davidson took this opportunity to note that this C.I.P. had been on file since the last week in June in each municipal library in Austin and every office that had recommended improvements. MRS. HARLEY BROWNING, 2701 Pecos Street, appeared as President of the West Central Neighborhood Group. She indicated that they were in support of what Ms. Bizzell of the League of Women Voters had stated earlier that there was a need for a rapid public transportation system in order to help people get their basic rights of mobility around the City. She noted that they were circulating a sidewalk petition to get more sidewalks constructed. She discussed C.I.P. Item No. 75/75-01 and the fact that there was not enough money provided for the construction of sidewalks. She proposed a program for driveway and sidewalk ramps for handicapped. In response to this, Councilman Binder indicated that there were funds allocated in the C.I.P. for ramps along Congress Avenue and that this was not the only area the Council intended to improve. He noted that today was the first time there were three spaces designated behind the building for the mobility impaired. Mrs. Browning urged long-term consideration by making it mandatory on all construction of new streets or subdivisions that sidewalks be included on both sides. She also requested that as streets were altered sidewalks, bicycle ways, and ramps be constructed. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS August 8, 1974 860 She also noted that in reference to parks projects, there were only two places of public access to Lake Austin; and she felt that open spaces were the best investment the City could make for the following reasons: 1. Health reasons. 2. Would avoid the decay of the City in that it would have a significant effect on surrounding property values. MR. KEN MCHAM wondered how much of the funding for the C.I.P. was taken care of and bonds had already been authorized and what sort of schedule might be conceived for future bond elections. In response to this, Mr. Norman Barker, Finance Administrator, noted that this was funded either by authorized bonding, funds on hand, borrowed funds on hand, transfers from other government funds or future financing. He noted that the City did have sufficient bonding authority in the utility area through the electric utility plant that will be on line in 1977; the coal plants, in 1978-79; and the nuclear plants, 1980-81. He added that there were some preliminary moneys required for South Texas Project No. 2 for a feasibility study, which would come from current earnings; and if the project was approved by the Council, there would be a new bond authority for that project. He further noted that the City would need a new bond authority for Water and Wastewater within 12 to 18 months. In response to Mr. McHam's question with regard to C.I.P. Item No. 73/62-21 (widening Rutland Drive from FM 1325 to Lamar), Mayor Butler stated that he did not own property at Rutland Drive and Lamar. In reference to this, Councilman Dryden felt that the street should be widened whether or not Mayor Butler owned property in the area. MR. BILL MIISTEAD, former chairman of the Planning Commission, noted that he had been chairman of the C.I.P. Committee since 1969. He stated that the Rutland Drive project had been included in the 1.971 Program. He felt that there was a problem in trying to inform the citizens what the Council was trying to do. He noted that the Enfield project had been presented to the Council in August, 1969, at which time it was a third-priority project; however, the Planning Commission now considered it a higher priority. He stated that in 1969 the Planning Commission had felt that because of the increasing cost and inflation, whenever there would be right of way to be obtained, it should be done as soon as possible. He urged that the Council consider the increasing cost of right of way and land on many projects that had been postponed year after year and urged that there be some way to communicate to the citizens what the City was trying to do at the earliest stage. Ms. Bizzell noted that they did not feel the problem was necessarily widening streets but that it was developing some sort of system that would serve the people effectively and would have something forward looking. She also noted that her organization was going to try to get the information dissemination problem cleared up and get informed and help the rest of the citizens get informed. Council.man Lebermann moved that the Council close the hearing and approve the 1974-1979 Capital Improvements Program with an amendment to move Project No. 75/60-09 (Enfield Road MoPac to Windsor acquire right of way for Texas Highway Department Project) to fiscal year 1977-78. The motion, seconded by Councilman Dryden, carried by the following vote: _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS August 8, 1.974 861 Ayes: Councilmen Binder, Dryden, Friedman, Lebermann, Mayor Butler, Mayor Pro Tem Love Noes: None Absent: Councilman Handcox In response to Councilman Binder's question, Mr. Ternus indicated that the City's transportation study would be complete within 9 to 12 months. PRESENTATION TO COUNCILMAN DRYDEN Messrs. Dave Crenshaw and V. W. (Bill) Treadaway, Charter members of the Capitol City Post 8787 Veterans of Foreign Wars, appeared before the Council and presented Councilman Dryden, a Charter member, copies of the original Charter. PRESENTATION TO COUNCILMAN LEBERMANN Messrs. Don Chapman, President of the Boys' Club of Austin and Travis County, and Don Kromer, Executive Director, introduced Mr. Derrick Dorn to the Council. Mr. Kromer noted that Derrick was a member of the Boys' Club and had been selected as outstanding boy for 1974. Derrick noted that Saturday, August 10, 1974, would have marked the 100th birthday of Herbert Hoover, who served as Board Chairman of the Boys' Club for 28 years. To mark this observation, the Boys' Club of Austin wanted to honor Councilman Lebermann, Program Vice-President of the Boys' Club. Derrick presented Councilman Lebermann with a resolution and the Herbert Hoover Centennial. Observance medal..

The motion, seconded by Councilman Lebermann, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Friedman, Lebermann, Mayor Butler, Mayor Pro Tem Love, Councilmen Binder, Dryden Noes: None Absent: Councilman Handcox PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES The Council had before it the selection of professional engineering services for Congress Avenue improvements. The firm of S. A. Garza was noted; and in response to Councilman Binder's question, City Manager Davidson did not know if the firm had any handicapped people on its staff but added that the City could require that they consult with the appropriate people to obtain that view point. In response to Councilman Binder's question as to the cost of service, Mr. Al Eldridge, Construction Engineer, indicated this would include utility adjustments because drainage was a major problem on this project aside from the more easily handled curb and aesthetic problems. City Manager Davidson added that this was quite tedious work, and the City did not have the staff in numbers that could do this work. He noted that most of the stores along the east side of Congress flood and have for 20 years. He recommended that this drainage problem be taken care of so they would not have to come back later. Councilman Binder requested that the firm be in touch with him during the design stage. Councilman Lebermann moved that the Council select the firm of S. A. Garza Engineers, Inc., for professional engineering services for the following 1975 Capital Improvements Program project for the Public Works Department: Congress Avenue Improvements, 1st Street to 11th Street.

Five Greenway Plaza East Houston, Texas For Distillate Heating Fuel Oil No. 2 Production of Electrical Energy, Electric Utility Department Twelve months' supply agreement 20,000,000 gallons @ $0.25313/gal. Total $5,062,600.00 (subject to escalation) Mr. Burke Musgrove, representing Ada Resources, Inc., of Houston, appeared in reference to this. (It was noted that Ada had bid on this contract.) He discussed the position of the Company, noting that it was large enough to take care of the City's needs, yet small enough to give them personal attention. He further noted that they had supplied the City about 4.2 million gallons of #2 diesel fuel when the market was tight. He indicated that he was present to try to instigate a better bid procedure. He stated that they were presently in an allocation program that the Federal Energy Administration has to approve any sale of fuel or contracts of this sort and that at the time of bidding Coastal States did not have an allocation factor of 100%; therefore, he added that for the FEA to approve Coastal States' sale of products on a contractual basis to the City, they would have required Coastal States' taking from some other customer on a pro rata basis to supply the City. He indicated that the City had been cooperative in their bid procedure and that the only difference had been in the formulation of the foreign index they chose in trying to get some future price for fuel oil above their base price that they bid. He noted that they were below Coastal States in their base price and had not known that the Platt's Oilgram was an unsatisfactory index to the City. In response to this, City Manager Davidson indicated that the City had never told Mr. Musgrove this was an unsatisfactory index but merely pointed out that since they selected it, because of what the market had done in the last 10 days, their price was not the best price. Mr. Musgrove stated that the City had told him about certain aspects of this contract that were unsatisfactory as they negotiated but never heard one complaint about the Platt's Oilgram, and he added that the only complaint was that if they used the Platt's Oilgram and if it dropped below a certain level, they would start assuming that price, rather than a differential. In response to Councilman Binder's question, Mr. Musgrove indicated that the Platt's Oilgram was a nationally recognized publication out of New York that determined on a day-to-day basis the price of oil or oil products all over the world. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS August 8, 1974 867 He noted that he would be willing to pull down their bid to prove his sincerity; and if at some future date, they wanted to negotiate another contract, he would know they possibly should not use the Platt's Oilgram. He added that Coastal States had used an index geared to their posted price, as opposed to an outside index. He referred to the City's "Comparison of Suppliers," which had stated that because of the recent change in the Platt's Oilgram in the last few days, under Ada's bid the City would be paying 2 cents more per day per gallon. He noted that they were under a mandatory allocation. In response to City Manager Davidson's question, he stated this information was correct; but he added that if Coastal States' posted price should drop, the City would be paying 3 cents per gallon under the Coastal States' agreement. He also referred to the mandatory allocation program, which would expire by law in February, thereby removing price controls. As a matter of record, he noted that since February of last year their source of supply had never been below 100%. He further noted that Coastal States' allocation factor had fluctuated in the following manner: 60% March 70% April 78% May 62% June 1-14 84% 60% 100% June 14 July 8-29 July 29 July 8 present Mr. Davidson pointed out that at present the recommended supplier did have the 100% allocation which was as good as any other bidder. Mr. Musgrove also noted as a matter of public record that he had spoken with Mr. Bidwell of the Federal Energy Office, Department of Crude Oil Allocation; and Mr. Bidwell had stated that Coastal States had received under the crude oil allocation program about 5,000,000 barrels of crude oil, which allowed them to jump up to the 100% allocation factor and that this was only for June, July and August. Mr. Musgrove wondered if Coastal States could perform if they did not get their allocation after August. In response to this, Mr. Davidson wanted to know if Mr. Musgrove could assure the City that his firm and the other firms connected with the proposal would always have the same kind of guaranteed allocation. Mr. Musgrove felt that past performance alone should suffice. There was further discussion by the Council in connection with Coastal States' sister company not having the desired reputation. Councilmen Binder and Dryden expressed their doubts, and Mayor Pro Tem Love stated that he could not support the Coastal States people because of their reputation. City Manager Davidson indicated that it had been his hope that the Council could give consideration to the fact that this subsidiary of Coastal States, who happened to represent different officers, had a track record of dependability for the City of Austin; and it had been for this reason that the staff came to the Council with this particular proposal. In response to Mayor Pro Tem Love's question, it was established that Mr. Oscar Wyatt was associated with the subsidiary. The possibility of a postponement of consideration was discussed by the Council in order that Coastal could appear before the Council and to give Mr. Davidson time to verify some of the statements made by Mr. Musgrove. In response to Mayor Pro Tem Love's question, Mr. R. L. Hancock, Electric Utility Director, felt that Coastal Marketing had done an excellent job in servicing the City and _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS. August 8, 1974 868 had gone above and beyond the line of duty, but he felt that they would not want the public display and would probably prefer not to have the business than to get involved in a public controversy. In response to Mr. Davidson's question with regard to a postponement, Mr. Musgrove indicated that their price would remain the same with no variations. Mayor Pro Tem Love moved that the Council. postpone consideration of the aforementioned contract until August 22, 1974, to give the City Manager and staff adequate time to invite the Coastal States' representatives and for an evaluation by the staff of those statements and claims made by Mr. Musgrove earlier. The motion, seconded by Councilman Binder, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilman Lebermann, Mayor Butler, Mayor Pro Tem Love, Noes: Councilmen Binder, Dryden, Friedman None Absent: Councilman Handcox Councilman Binder wondered if it could be possible to use a universally agreeable index which would be consistent. It was determined that this question could be answered within the two-week postponement. (Transcript of this on file in the City Clerk's Office.) PERFORMANCE OF EXPEDITING SERVICES It was noted that the Council had before it the possible authorization of an agreement for Bovay Engineers, Inc., and Burns & McDonnell Engineering Company, to perform expediting services for the Decker Creek Power Station Unit #2 under the additional services section of the Engineering Services Agreement. In response to Councilman Binder's question as to why a City engineer could not handle this, Mr. R. L. Hancock stated that this would require visits to the facilities and inspecting the product in the production line and dealing with the people at the particular plants. He added that there was a variety of apparatus associated with the plant and the development of Decker Unit #2 and that those devices were under fabrication in the manufacturing facilities all over the State. He stated that this was commonly done when schedules were tight and as a matter of economics. In response to Mayor Butler's question as to why this could not be performed by the firm that got the contract, Mr. Hancock indicated that it depended upon the scope of the contract; and in this case, expediting was not included. In response to Councilman Lebermann's question, Mr. Hancock felt this was a professional approach and very essential. In response to Mayor Butler's question, Mr. Hancock indicated this would not cost the City more had it been included in the contract and that it was just a matter of man hours.
