Mr. Davidson added _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS March 20, 1975 254 that the staff would not recommend this procedure for the purchase of small compressors and trucks. After further discussion, Mr. Rogers noted that all bidders were probably familiar with the way the City approached this; and if it were not in the best interest of the City, the staff would not have recommended it. Mayor Pro Tem Dryden entered the Council Chamber at this point.

City Manager Davidson noted that Mr. Dick Cory, Chaárman of the Citizens Board of Natural Resources and Environmental Quality, had requested to speak. It was pointed out that the proposed ordinance had been before the Citizens Board, and it had been recommended unanimously. Councilman Friedman stated that there had been differences of opinion between the Citizens Board and Planning Commission on the creek ordinance, but these had been worked out to suit both groups. In response to his question as to whether or not the same could be done, Mr. Cory noted that on October 24, 1974, the Board had written the Planning Commission and told them that if they did not agree, the Board would be happy to meet with them and resolve their differences. He also stated that on February 10, 1975, they wrote again and had not received an answer. He explained that it was for this reason that he doubted whether the Board would be able to work out something with the Planning Commission. He noted that it was his intention today to recommend a different course of procedure, but he had no objection to trying what Councilman Friedman had suggested. Mayor Butler pointed out that he had been advised by the Assistant City Attorney that this would require 15 days notice, and the Council could not act on it under any circumstances. He noted that this was just a report for the Council's consideration; and in the event the Council wished to implement this ordinance, there would have to be a public hearing set with a 15-day notice. March 20, 1975 256 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS- Mr. Cory indicated that the members of the Board would like to see Austin have some type of tree ordinance, and they recognized the reasons the Planning Commission had turned it down. In an effort to come up with an ordinance the Board felt would be acceptable to the Planning Commission as well as the Council, he recommended that this be returned to the Citizens Advisory Board with instructions for them to redraft it on the basis of being able to save two classes of trees: 1. Historical. 2. Those of significant value or interest because of their size or beauty, etc. He felt that this was a generous offer on the Board's part; but he noted that if Councilman Friedman's suggestion were adopted, and the Board was instructed to work with the Planning Commission, the Board would be happy to do so. There was further discussion, and Councilman Binder felt that it would be helpful if each group got down to what they felt would be acceptable, especially the Planning Commission; then the Council could pick and choose what it wanted. Councilman Binder moved that the Council request that the Planning Commission and Citizens Board of Natural Resources and Environmental Quality review the proposed tree ordinance and indicate what would be accepted and what they would like to see and then present this to the Council to determine what would be feasible. The motion, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Dryden, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Pro Tem Dryden, Councilmen Snell, Lebermann, Noes: Mayor Butler, Councilman Binder None Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilman Friedman PROFESSIONAL CONSULTING SERVICES The Council had before it the selection of professional consulting services for the following project for the Public Works and Electric Departments: Resource/Energy Recovery Development Plan (Municipal Solid Wastes Processing) C.M.D. Project No. 503. In response to Councilman Binder's question, City Manager Davidson stated that the staff felt that if any firm had an edge, it would be the firm of Horner and Shifrin in St. Louis because their studies had turned into actual projects. However, he noted that any one of the three recommended firms could do the job. Councilman Lebermann mentioned that Horner and Shifrin did a project in St. Louis that was cited all over the world, which involved the use of solid waste as a supplemental fuel in coal-fired electric utility boiler for electric generation. March 20, 1975 257 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Mayor Butler noted that the fees anticipated for the services would be in the range of $100,000. Councilman Lebermann noted that this was adjustable as the study progressed, depending on the categories of work and the magnitude of work needed. City Manager Davidson pointed out that the staff would prepare with the consultant an agreed upon work program so that the consultant would be paid only for what he has done but adequately paid for what is done. Councilman Lebermann moved that the Council select the firm of HORNER & SHIFRIN for professional consulting services for the afore-mentioned project. The motion, seconded by Councilman Binder, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Noes: Councilmen Snell, Lebermann, Mayor Butler, Councilman Binder, Mayor Pro Tem Dryden None Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilman Friedman Councilman Lebermann took this opportunity to congratulate Mr. Bob Beckham, Public Works, for the work done and noted that he had been responsible for researching the firms all over the country.

B. Payton Estate. (Effie Reeves Kitchens) The motion, seconded by Councilman Snell, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmen Snell, Lebermann, Mayor Butler, Councilman Noes: Binder, Mayor Pro Tem Dryden None Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilman Friedman EMINENT DOMAIN PROCEEDINGS FOR FESTIVAL BEACH PROJECT The Council had before it the possibile authorization of eminent domain proceedings to acquire property for the Festival Beach Project. In response to Mayor Pro Tem Dryden's question, City Manager Davidson pointed out that the new Council policy providing for relocation payments had eased the burdens of most of the property owners with which the City had been dealing; and the staff and citizens appreciated the Council's adopting the policy. Mr. John Baylor, Assistant Director of Property Management, noted that the policy applied to tenant occupants as well as owner occupants. He pointed out that the owner was the second husband of the deceased Lillian Dismukes Shans, and his intentions are to move to California when the City acquires the property. He noted that the reason a price could not be agreed upon was because of disagreement among the children, but the City would pay for stipulated moving and relocation costs that are provided for under the ordinance. =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS March 20, 1975 258 Councilman Lebermann moved that the Council adopt a resolution authorizing eminent domain proceedings to acquire the following property for the Festival Beach Project: 8,630 square feet out of Lots 1 and 5, Block 9, Bergman Valley View Addition.

(Highland Lakes National Mortgage Company) The motion, seconded by Councilman Friedman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Butler, Councilman Binder, Mayor Pro Tem Dryden, Noes: None Councilmen Friedman, Snell, Lebermann ITEM CONCERNING EFFECTIVE DATE OF CONTRACT Mayor Pro Tem Dryden moved that the Council adopt a resolution establishing the effective date of the contract between the City of Austin and Alan Voorhees and Associates, Inc., as February 6, 1975. (Contract approved by Council on February 20, 1975.) The motion, seconded by Councilman Snell, carried by the following vote: CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS March 20. 1975 259 Ayes: Councilman Binder, Mayor Pro Tem Dryden, Councilmen Friedman, Snell, Lebermann, Mayor Butler Noes: None ITEM CONCERNING SALE OF CERTIFICATES OF OBLIGATION Councilman Friedman moved that the Council set Thursday, May 1, 1975, 10:30 a.m., CDT, as the time to receive bids for the sale of Certificates of Obligation in the amount of $750,000. The motion, seconded by Councilman Binder, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Pro Tem Dryden, Councilmen Friedman, Snell, Lebermann, Mayor Butler, Councilman Binder Noes: None ITEM CONCERNING BIDS ON REVENUE BONDS Councilman Friedman moved that the Council set Thursday, May 8, 1975, 10:30 a.m., CDT, to take bids on Electric Light and Power, Waterworks and Sewer System Revenue Bonds as follows: Electric System Nuclear $7,500,000 Authorized 11-17-73 The motion, seconded by Councilman Binder, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Pro Tem Dryden, Councilmen Friedman, Snell, Lebermann, Mayor Butler, Councilman Binder Noes: None CONTRACT FOR FIRE PROTECTION The Council had before it for consideration a contract with "H" Moving and Storage, Inc., for Municipal fire protection in return for payment equivalent to assessed property taxes. In response to Councilman Binder's question concerning the location of the company, City Manager Davidson noted that it was located 3 blocks outside the corporate limits at 3536-5 Chapman Road (just off East Ben White and Burleson Road). He pointed out that in discussing this with Mr. Dick Lillie, Planning Department Director, the staff was not prepared to annex this portion of what would eventually be recommended to the Council; and the staff did not want to bring this in piecemeal. He stated that the staff had calculated the estimated payment to be $959 per year for this privilege. Mayor Butler noted that the reason for this request was for the company to be able to store certain types of government files. He also asked whether or not the value was updated on this in that it was not on the City's tax rolls. In response to this, City Manager Davidson stated that this would be done; and he would contact Mr. Chilton, the Manager of "H" Moving and Storage. Councilman Friedman moved that the Council adopt a resolution approving a contract with "H" Moving and Storage, Inc., for municipal fire protection in return for payment equivalent to assessed property taxes. The motion, seconded by Councilman Lebermann, carried by the following vote: March 20, 1975 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Ayes: Councilmen Friedman, Snell, Lebermann, Mayor Butler, Councilman Binder, Mayor Pro Tem Dryden Noes: None دفات ITEM CONCERNING POLICE Mr. Larry Jackson appeared before the Council to discuss Police pay and related matters. He believed that the overwhelming majority of the officers in Austin were interested in good law enforcement. He felt that there needed to be more citizen input into the police-community relations program. He submitted that the pay scale in the City would not attract the caliber of officer he felt was needed toward making a professional force. He also submitted that there was almost no leadership on the force and that the morale of the officers was very low. In response to Mayor Butler's question, Mr. Jackson asked if there could be a public hearing held on the pay scale issue and felt that it should be put up for a public vote. In response to Councilman Lebermann's question as to when the Special Task Force on Police-Community Relations, of which Mr. Jackson was a member, would conclude its work and come before the Council, Mr. Jackson did not know; and he added that he did not believe any information would be presented that would be of any significance toward changing conditions. He felt that most of the people on the Task Force were not concerned about the local police officer. In response to Councilman Snell's question, City Manager Davidson stated that the Task Force adopted a program and a timetable whereby they would complete their reports within 120 days. In connection with this, Mr. Jackson commented that their charge had been too broad and would require at least 2 years; but he suggested that if their responsibility had been limited to investigating certain things, their job would have been a simple and easy task. After further discussion, Councilman Friedman felt that the Council had to state something affirmatively that would encourage Mr. Jackson and other members of the subcommittees representing the Task Force to come back with a report. Mr. Jackson submitted that he was before the Council as a private citizen and not on behalf of the Task Force and asked if the Council was going to give him the privilege to have a public hearing on the pay scale. Councilman Lebermann suggested that the Council should have the Task Force's report so that the Council could look at the whole picture. It was suggested that the Task Force hold its own public hearing, and Councilman Binder stated that the Council created the Task Force so that citizens would have a place to go. Councilman Binder felt that this issue was worthy of consideration, but he suggested that it should go through the Task Force. Councilman Snell felt that the Council should hear from the Task Force, and he wanted to see the Task Force bring back a recommendation including the pay scale. He wanted to encourage Mr. Jackson to continue his interest in the community. Mayor Butler appreciated Mr. Jackson's remarks and felt that he was conscientious and was interested in this matter. = CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS March 20, 1975 261 Mayor Pro Tem Dryden noted that the reports he had received on Mr. Jackson's work had been excellent and asked that he continue to work with others and submitted that Mr. Jackson could not divorce himself from the fact that he was a member of the Task Force. (Note: Transcript of this on file in the City Clerk's Office.)
