Mr. Homer Reed, Deputy City Manager, reviewed this by stating that on December 28, 1971, the City contracted with Frontier Trails, Inc., and Dick Rathgeber for extension of a sewer line to the property owned by them in the Brodie Lane area. He noted that a number of factors developed that increased the cost of the lines between the time the contract was awarded and the project was actually constructed in 1973; and as a result, a number of changes in the policy were made, thereby making it difficult to interpret some portions of the contract. He indicated that the land owners involved had agreed to terms of the proposed settlement, so that this could be turned over to the Legal Department to draft a document. He stated that this would be on the agenda for February 27, 1975, for official action.

He noted that at that time, Mr. Jim Bannerot, President of the Barton Creek Citizens Association, had several questions; and during the following week, Mr. Bannerot, Mr. Robert Davis, =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS February 20, 1975 172 representing the applicant, and Mr. Don Bird, Assistant City Attorney, met and tried to resolve as many questions as they could; and the agreement had been amended and was before the Council. Mr. Bannerot stated that his only disagreement concerned that portion of the restrictive covenant dealing with water quality in which it stated "Jagger, its successors and/or assigns, shall construct and install such low-flow grease and/or sand filters on the property for filtering contaminated or polluting storm water discharge as may be reasonably requiredd by the Director of Engineering of the City of Austin..." He felt that there was no goal or standard incorporated in the document and proposed that a goal be instituted in order not to degrade the present quality of the water in Barton Creek as evidenced by laboratory analysis of said water by the Texas Water Quality Board or other governmental agencies or authorities. He felt that the document needed to be tightened up. He Mr. Sid Jagger, the applicant, noted that they had been working on this for about two years and felt that they had done everything that could reasonably be expected of them to try to protect the environment. He submitted that the piece of land in question was about one-half of 1 percent of the Barton Creek watershed. He felt that if any tests were run on Barton Creek to determine the effect this project might have, no one would be able to tell whether it was this project or another in the remaining 99 and one-half percent of the area. pointed out that they were willing to live with the standards established by the Engineer to try to accomplish the objectives; but he noted that they were just beginning to know how to go about these things and had employed a hydrology specialist, and the state of technology was very primitive at this point. stated that what they had proposed was a statement of trying to do the best that was possible under their technology to try to control the quality of the water. He requested that the covenant be approved as approved by the Planning and Legal Departments. He In response to Mayor Pro Tem Dryden's question, Mr. Lillie stated that he was satisfied with this from the Department's standpoint. Councilman Friedman felt that it was almost impossible to measure accurately in terms of water quality by using the Board's guidelines and suggested that even if they had all the guidelines "in the world," they could not determine what run-off came from this project. Mr. Jan Kubicek, Assistant City Attorney, felt that the basic language Mr. Bannerot had requested was already in the agreement; and Councilman Friedman felt that by having the Texas Water Quality Board handle this would be superfluous. After discussion, Mayor Pro Tem Dryden moved that the Council adopt a resolution approving the covenant and agreement in connection with Zoning Case No. C14-74-178. The motion, seconded by Councilman Lebermann, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Butler, Mayor Pro Tem Dryden, Councilmen Friedman, Lebermann Noes: None Absent: Councilman Binder Mayor Butler commented that the property owners could rest assured that the area would be protected, judging from Mr. Jagger's actions. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS February 20, 1975 173 LOWERING OF LAKE AUSTIN The Council had before it the consideration of the recommendation of the Navigation Board concerning the lowering of Lake Austin. City Manager Davidson noted that the Council had voted to ask L.C.R.A. to lower the Lake after receiving a recommendation from the Navigation Board. He further noted that Council's concurrence was now needed to not lower the Lake as recommended by the Navigation Board. Mayor Pro Tem Dryden moved that the Council adopt a resolution upholding the recommendation of the Navigation Board concerning the lowering of Lake Austin. The motion, seconded by Councilman Lebermann, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Pro Tem Dryden, Councilmen Friedman, Lebermann, Mayor Butler Noes: None Absent: Councilman Binder REQUEST CONCERNING DEAΝΝΕΧATION Mr. William Lynch, representing Mr. Edward Joseph, appeared before the Council to request deannexation of Mr. Joseph's property, which was annexed into the City on September 6, 1973. He noted that 77 acres in the area had been annexed at the request of the developer; and the City proposed annexation of 1,000 acres, but it was denied. He continued by stating that the City came back with an annexation proposal to annex a certain portion of the 1,000 acres, which he reviewed on maps submitted to the Council. He noted that this was opposed by Mr. Joseph at that time as the primary land owner of this area, but it was annexed in September, 1973. He stated that the original purpose of the requested annexation was development of the tract, but it has not been developed and has left everyone else "holding the bag." He pointed out that Mr. Joseph's land was undeveloped and had been assessed $4,449.80 in paving and curb and gutter cost for Rundberg Lane paving improvements; and he had received his first ad valorem tax bill, and his taxes had increased to $28,413.25. 1 In response to Mayor Butler's question as to whether or not the request for deannexation was for the lowering of the taxes, Mr. Lynch stated that there was no proposal by the City or developer to improve the area or provide any utilities to the property. City Manager Davidson noted that there were some Capital Improvements already provided to the area, such as water and sewer service; and a new road was being constructed under the C.I.P. adjacent to the site to the north. He pointed out that all this was predicated on the fact that this should be within the City limits of Austin. In response to this, Mr. Lynch felt that these improvements had ben made for those who were moving into the area and would become residents of this territory. Mr. Davidson submitted that the City was planning fire stations and parks intthis area not to serve the people already there but the entire section as it developed. Mr. Lynch requested that this be deannexed until such development occurred that would merit annexation of the entire area. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS February 20, 1975 Mr. Lillie reiterated that utilities were available adjacent to the tract, and the City had made major C.I.P, commitments. He noted that if the decision was made tomorrow to develop this, the facilities would be there. Mr. Woodrow Sledge, representing the Austin Independent School District, appeared in opposition to the request for deannexation, noting that an elementary school site had been purchased and existed in this tract with a right of way dedication to assure them that there would be a sewer easement. Mr. Joseph noted that the School District had not done any planning for the proposed elementary school After further discussion, it was determined that the Council would take this request under consideration and study it more. REFUND CONTRACTS Mayor Butler brought up the following ordinance for its first reading: AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER OR THE DEPUTY CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO CERTAIN REFUND CONTRACTS WITH WILLOW CREEK HILLS, BUCKINGHAM RIDGE DEVELOPERS, AND DAVIS-WEBB ENGINEERING, INC., AND BUILDING ENTERPRISES, INC. (Willow Creek, Section 4; Buckingham Ridge, Section 4; Cooper Oaks, Section 1-A) The ordinance was read the first time, and Councilman Lebermann moved that the ordinance be passed to its second reading. The motion, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Dryden, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Pro Tem Dryden, Councilmen Friedman, Lebermann, Mayor Butler Noes: None Absent: Councilman Binder The Mayor announced that the ordinance had been passed through its first reading only. ORDINANCE CONCERNING FIRE DEPARTMENT The Council had before it an ordinance modifying the authorized manning of the Fire Department. Fire Chief Ed Kirkham reviewed this by stating that plans were to move the South Austin Squad Car out to West Ben White, making this station a multiple-company station rather than a single-company station. He noted that it had been their policy to have single-company stations under the supervision of a Lieutenant on each shift and multiple-company stations under the supervision of a Captain. Therefore, the request was that three Lieutenants be deleted and three Captains be added. He noted that the promotion of these three men would be within their budget for this year. Mayor Butler brought up the following ordinance for its first reading: CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS February 20, 1975 175 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 740919-B, ANNUAL BUDGET ORDINANCE FOR THE PERIOD COMMENCING OCTOBER 1, 1974 AND TERMINATING SEPTEMBER 30, 1975 BY REDUCING THE AUTHORIZED NUMBER OF LIEUTENANTS IN THE FIRE FIGHTING DIVISION OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND BY INCREASING THE NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED CAPTAINS IN THE FIRE FIGHTING DIVISION OF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, The ordinance was read the first time, and Councilman Lebermann moved that the ordinance be passed to its second reading. The motion, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Dryden, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Friedman, Lebermann, Mayor Butler, Mayor Pro Tem Dryden Noes: None Absent: Councilman Binder The Mayor announced that the ordinance had been passed through its first reading only. ORDINANCE CONCERNING TRANSPORTATION The Council had before it an ordinance amendingrthe Transit System C.I.P. in order to qualify for funding under Section 5 of the National Mass Transportation Assistance Act. Mayor Butler brought up the following ordinance for its first reading: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 741017-M, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM BUDGET ORDINANCE FOR THE FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING OCTOBER 1, 1974 AND TERMINATING SEPTEMBER 30, 1975, BY REALLOCATING CERTAIN MONIES HERETOFORE APPROPRIATED; REPEALING ALL ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT HEREWITH; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.

ITEM CONCERNING ELECTRIC BILL Mayor Butler took this opportunity to distribute copies of a L.C.R.A. electric bill, which he had suggested to the City Manager and Mr. R. L. Hancock, Electric Utility Director, that the form be studied. He noted that he received many calls from the public not understanding the increase in the price of electricity. Councilman Lebermann felt that the more information available on the bills and the more consistent, the more accepted this would be. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS February 20.1975 176 APPEARANCE CONCERNING STUDY OF BARTON CREEK WATERSHED Messrs. Kilian Fehr, representing Eanes Civic Association, and Jim Bannerot, representing Barton Creek Civic Association, had requested to appear before the Council to discuss a comprehensive study of the Barton Creek Watershed. Mr. Bannerot explained that Mr. Fehr would not be in attendance and expressed his concern over future development in the area, the cumulative effect, and the timing. He suggested that if it was not economically feasible to conduct a separate study, this could be combined with another study being conducted on another watershed; and in the meantime, the Planning Commission should promulgate a comprehensive set of goals or rules so that developers that came in would know what the sensitive areas were and would know what they would be expected to do. Councilman Friedman stated that Mr. Lillie and City Manager Davidson needed to give a report of what might be feasible for the C.I,P. for the next few months. He suggested that it might be possible to include this and felt that it would be a shame to leave Barton Creek unstudied. He indicated that the Council would be happy to send Mr. Bannerot a report to let him know how soon this could be done. Councilman Lebermann suggested that it might be desirable to look to the possibility of extending the Lake Austin Plan up to Barton Creek in that it might be economically sensible.
