Brown, Chairman, Property Committee of the Barton Hills Garden Club, appeared before the Council to present two acres of land bordering the Barton Creek Greenbelt to the City of Austin as dedicated Parkland. She noted that several members of the committee were present at the meeting today and asked that they stand and be recognized. Mrs. Brown pointed out that since the committee was organized in 1960, it had been very active in civic beautification. This land being presented to the City was deeded to the Garden Club in 1964 by the Barton Hills Investment Corporation consisting of Mr. Ben Holman; Mr. Jack Andrewartha; Mr. R. L. Struhall, Jr.; Mr. Bob Connally, Mr. Joe Bland; Mr. Wroe Owens; and Mr. Frank Barron. Mr. Holman and Mr. Barron were asked to stand at this time. Mrs. Brown concluded by thanking the Parks and Recreation Director, Mr. Jack Robinson for his help and advice in developing this land for the greenbelt. She also thanked their attorney, Mr. Pat King, who donated his legal services in the transaction.

She commented that posters were being distributed that have a very colorful drawing of the Caswell House which was done by Mrs. Jean Page, Planning Department. Proceeds from the party will be donated to historic preservation in Austin and to the Kappa Alpha Theta Foundation. = CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 22, 1976 } 543 Mrs. Delores Duffie appeared before the Council to discuss a traffic signal on Martin L. King, Jr., Boulevard and Chestnut and the City's position on school bus shelters. She commented that in 1971 she approached one member of the Council and requested that a light be installed at this location of Martin L. King, Jr., Boulevard and Chestnut. A temporary blinking light was installed and she was informed that in approximately 4 months a regular light would be placed there. As of now, there is still no regular signal light and Mrs. Duffie was requesting information as to when this signal would be installed. Mayor Friedman referred to a report from the Urban Transportation Department that indicated a light would be installed by the end of May. The department has been behind in its schedule for installations, but his light will be installed at the latest by June 15. Mrs. Duffie then addressed herself to the bus shelters and noted that this was discussed by the Austin Independent School District and the City to erect the shelters. She was informed by Mr. Joe Ternus, Director of Urban Transportation, that the shelters would be installed by last February and as of yet nothing has been done. Mr. Joe Ternus, Director of Urban Transportation, stated that this project has been in the process for quite some time. This is part of a grant application that was delayed for a number of reasons. The construction plans and specifications were sent to UMTA and have been under review for approximately 9 months. On April 19, 1976, he received approval from UMTA with permission to proceed with installation and he anticipated that all of the shelters would be completed by September 1. Mayor Friedman pointed out that UMTA delayed in giving the City approval on this and therefore, nothing could be done until this approval was received. Mr. Ternus stated that the Austin Independent School District had been very cooperative in working with the City to erect these shelters. The main reason for the delay was due to the original plans not providing adequate clearances for wheelchairs and other devices that are used for mobility impaired citizens. In response to Councilmember Linn's question concerning plans that are being submitted, Mr. Ternus stated that plans being submitted now will be designed for the mobility impaired. Mayor Friedman concluded by stating that the signal light should be installed in a few weeks, and the bus shelters would be completed by the next school year. Mrs. Duffie noted her concern with the George Mapson Field that there was not a foul tip screen or bleachers and no lights. She questioned what the City's position was concerning this field. Mayor Friedman indicated that Mrs. Duffie talk with Mr. Robinson concerning these problems. REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF PLANS FOR WASTEWATER PUMPING STATION Mr. Sid Jagger appeared before the Council requesting final City Council approval of plans for a wastewater pumping station, in accordance with preliminary Council approval on March 11, 1976. He stated that approximately one month ago, he appeared before the Council and requested permission to build CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 22, 1976 544 } a lift station in Zilker Park in order to obtain additional building permits in the Barton Creek area. The contract was approved in principle and the Council requested that Mr. Jagger get the approval of the location from the necessary departments and return to the Council. A preliminary plan has been prepared showing the location and all necessary data and the Parks and Recreation Board has approved the location with the request that when the drawings have been completed that they be presented to them for specific approval of the working drawings and approval of the timing as to when it would be built. Mr. Jagger noted the approval by the Environmental Board and his agreement to work with the Environmental Resource Management staff in the development of the working drawings. The Planning Commission has approved this also and he was now requesting Council approval of the location. He noted that when the working drawings were ready, he would apply for a Creek Permit and also return to the Parks and Recreation Board and the Environmental Resource staff. If the Creek Permit is issued and there are appeals, the action being requested today would in no way prejudge action on the appeals that might come at a later date. In response to Councilmember Linn's question concerning the lift station, Mr. Jagger stated that the capacity of the lift station was 2,000 gallons per minute and would accommodate 2,027 lot equivalents. Mr. Jagger explained the building that has already occurred in the area and the lift station will not increase the capacity beyond the approved development. Councilmember Linn felt that if this was approved, then at a future date another developer could want to do the same thing. Mr. Jagger commented that this opportunity to connect with the lift station was by priority and the filing of plats. In response to Councilmember Hofmann's concern about the Govalle plant, Mr. Homer Reed, Deputy City Manager, presented an overview of the situation and stated that substantial amounts of money have been invested by Mr. Jagger and others in the project in anticipation of obtaining sewer service. The resolution passed by the Council authorizing the City staff to deny permits in the area did provide that if a private developer was interested in supplying the funds to construct improvements allowing the area to be served with sewer or water this would be allowed. This contract is being presented to the Council in accordance with that resolution, and all of the engineering and developing work of the project has been completed by Mr. Jagger's engineer who has worked with the City to create something compatible with the City's system. After checking with the Legal Department, the Council can proceed with the request of Mr. Jagger; however, it would require the original agreement approved by the Council to be amended. Mr. Reed felt that Mr. Jagger has done his best to meet all the necessary requirements to obtain approval of this project with only two remaining items. (1) A Creek Permit must be obtained and the agreement is contingent upon this being done; and (2) a public hearing must be held on the extension of the lines and the installation of the lift station through a portion of Zilker Park. Mr. Reed responded to Councilmember Linn's question concerning the location of the lift station by stating that it would be located under the ground under a portion of the parking area for the bath house. CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS April 22, 1976 545 In response to Councilmember Linn's question as to flooding, Mr. Roger White, Deputy Director of Water and Wastewater, commented that the lift station is waterproof and the roof will be well above the floodplain. In reference to the Govalle Plant, Mr. White stated in the plant at this time there was a reserve capacity and next spring the Walnut Plant should be completed which will take some of the flow that is currently going to the Govalle Plant. Mr. Reed pointed out that the request being made by Mr. Jagger is that the Council issue the conditional permits in advance of the public hearing with the understanding and so written in the contract, that if there is any action taken at the public hearing by the Council or if the Creek Permit is unsuccessful, that all investment made would be the sole risk of Mr. Sid Jagger. Councilmember Linn commented that it was her understanding that no other development could tie into this system other than the development that is present. Mr. Reed stated that there were some other developments owned by other people than Mr. Jagger that would be involved. The total amount of units that could be added under this agreement would be 2,027 and no more. The reason for the preliminary approval would be to allow construction to begin since it would take longer to build the apartments than the lift station. If the lift station is not approved, Mr. Jagger would bear the loss. In response to Councilmember Lebermann's question, Mr. Jagger noted it was his intent to do primarily site work until the final approval has been given. The site work would include such things as staking the buildings out and some installation of underground utilities. Councilmember Hofmann felt very uneasy in giving the approval of this and felt it undermines the meaning of a public hearing. Councilmember Lebermann felt that this was an exceptional situation since the developer has been caught in developing situation over which he has no control. Councilmember Linn noted that the people spoke on the bond issue as to what they wanted and did not want in terms of expanding our systems. MR. JOE RIDDELL referred to a letter he had written to the Council concerning this matter and suggested that included in the agreement should be a condition that all of the tracts to be served by the lift station that do not have detailed planning completed and approved be required to go through the City procedures and processes. MR. DON WALDEN, a member of the Environmental Board, stated that the board voted 14 to 1 in favor of recommending the approval of the request with the stipulation that the facility serve only the 2,027 lot equivalents identified with the flexibility to trade lot equivalents among the participants. This recommendation was due to the procedures that the developer has gone through to complete the project. As regards the suggestion of Mr. Riddell to require the detailed plans, he had no comment on this but did not think a utility system should be withheld in a punitive way. Motion Councilmember Lebermann moved that the Council approve the temporary permit with a save and hold harmless provision in the amendment as relates to the authorization and the considerations on the Creek Permit and on the public hearing to be held in which case denial may occur on either one, that the Council would not be liable for any harm that might occur to Mr. Sid Jagger if either were refused; that this in no way prejudges the Creek Permit or any public CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 22, 1976 hearing, and that a public hearing be set for May 27, 1976, at 10:30 a.m. to consider extension of the lines and installation of the lift station through a portion of Zilker Park. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Trevino, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Pro Tem Snell, Councilmembers Himmelblau, Hofmann, Lebermann, Trevino, Mayor Friedman Noes: Councilmember Linn HEARING TO CONSIDER PLANS AND PROGRAMS FOR CLARKSVILLE Mayor Friedman opened the public hearing scheduled for 10:30 a.m. to consider plans and programs for the Clarksville Neighborhood. Mr. Dick Lillie stated that one year ago the Council allocated $25,000 in the Housing and Community Development Block Grant Funds for the staff to proceed with planning for the Clarksville Neighborhood. Working with the residents of Clarksville, the staff compiled information to develop a plan for the area that was given approval by the Environmental Board subject to the review of the specific development plans for the improvements to the neighborhood. Mr. Lillie expressed his appreciation for the work, time and the availability of the residents of the neighborhood and especially to Reverend Southerland, Mary Baylor, John Henneberger and Elliot Nashtat. Mr. Lillie also expressed his thanks to the many City departments that were involved in this project. At this time, Mr. Lillie reviewed some locations and impressions of the neighborhood as well as the plans that have been identified and are recommended to the Council for consideration. Slides were presented at this time. Mr. Lillie pointed out that the plan proposes that rights-of-way be narrower than City standards due to the character of the neighborhood, and will retain the urban-rural atmosphere in the area. Mayor Friedman pointed out that this could become a new form of City standard since there were a lot of areas that have narrower streets. In response to Councilmember Linn's question as to the Haskell House, Mr. Jack Robinson commented that there are about three different proposals for the community to look at in order to determine the direction to proceed. REVEREND W. B. SOUTHERLAND noted his agreement with the plans and proposals for the Clarksville Neighborhood and thanked the Council for their participation as well as the other City departments that have been involved in this. In response to Mayor Pro Tem Snell's question concerning the width of the streets, Reverend Southerland stated he was in agreement with the proposal on this. MARY BAYLOR, a resident of Clarksville and a City employee, noted her appreciation for all of the planning that has gone on and supported the plan that has been created. She was concerned with the assessment that would be placed on the residents due to the paving. Mayor Friedman commented that the Council adopted a new policy for paving assessments that specifically outlined new procedures for the Community Development Areas which included the Clarksville area. The assessments will be made in an equitable fashion and people will not be required to have the money immediately. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 22, 1976 542 JOHN HENNEBERGER, advisor to the Clarksville Neighborhood, thanked the Planning Department for their work on the plans and the input received from the residents. He felt that with improvements there would also be problems whereby property values will rise and people will possibly be forced to move to another area. Clarksville is the only major Black settlement left on the West side of town and it is very important that past actions to certain Black communities not happen to Clarksville. Some of the pressures that would tend to destroy the community would be greater land values which are generated; greater property taxes; assessments for improvements and uncontrolled development. Mr. Henneberger felt it was the City's obligation to accept the responsibilities for making improvements to insure that Clarksville will maintain its integrity. Mayor Pro Tem Snell commented that for many years he has been part of the Clarksville community and was so happy to know that action is about to take place that has been needed for a long time. Motion Mayor Pro Tem Snell moved that the Council close the public hearing and that the staff be instructed to proceed with the plans and programs for the Clarksville Neighborhood. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Trevino. CAROL JAKOBEIT stated that she owned property just south of Clarksville and wondered if Confederate Street would be paved. Also another problem was water drainage since there are no storm sewers for several blocks. She noted that her address was 1615 Confederate Street. Mayor Friedman indicated that some of the City employees would look at this and contact Ms. Jakobeit. WARREN JONES, a resident in Clarksville, commented that he had known the area for over 60 years and that this was the first active move to help the Clarksville area in all this time. He thanked the Council for this action. HARVEY DEAN, 1631 Palma Plaza, pointed out the serious drainage situation existing across Waterston between Woodlawn and West Lynn. He urged the Council to study the engineering problems in this area beginning at Niles Road running south. Mr. Dean was in support of the improvements being planned for the area and felt they had been needed for quite some time. Roll Call on Motion Roll call on Mayor Pro Tem Snell's motion, Councilmember Trevino's second, showed the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Himmelblau, Hofmann, Lebermann, Linn, Trevino, Mayor Friedman, Mayor Pro Tem Snell Noes: None ΑΝΝΕΧATION HEARING SET The Council had before it for consideration the setting of a public hearing at 11:00 a.m., May 13, 1976, to consider annexing the following: CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 22, 1976 1. 1,413.11 acres of land out of the Santiago Del Valle Grant, Missouri Pacific Industrial Park, Section One, Resubdivision of Lots 4, 5 and 6, Block B of Missouri Pacific Industrial Park, Section One, Missouri Pacific Industrial Park, Section Two, and unplatted land - Portion of Area 7.

(Initiated by the City of Austin Case No. C7a-76-004) Councilmember Hofmann expressed concern that a work session be held on the annexation study before any public hearings are conducted on annexation. Mayor Friedman commented that this could be done if other Councilmembers felt it necessary. Some Mr. Lillie stated that the Council's policy on annexations initiated by the City would provide for notices sent to the property owners in the area. of the areas that will be discussed over the next eight weeks may have up to 1,000 property owners in it and felt it would be very difficult to create a current mailing list. Therefore, Mr. Lillie proposed that the media be used and also a messenger service whereby a folder or flyer would be designed and delivered to homeowners and businesses in the area. Councilmember Hofmann supported the idea, and Mayor Friedman suggested that when the public notice is out that it be in language that everyone understands. Motions Councilmember Linn moved that the Council adopt a resolution setting a public hearing at 11:00 a.m., May 13, 1976, to consider annexing the following: 1,413.11 acres of land out of the Santiago Del Valle Grant, Missouri Pacific Industrial Park, Section One, Resubdivision of Lots 4, 5 and 6, Block B of Missouri Pacific Industrial Park, Section One, Missouri Pacific Industrial Park, Section Two, and unplatted land Portion of Area 7.

Councilmember Linn suggested that possibly the committee should review the Approach Main Policy for areas outside the City limits. City Manager Davidson stated this would be done and he also suggested that the committee present to the Council a status report on their work and just what they are working on.

(Navigation Board recommends denial). Mr. Elbert Hooper, attorney for Mr. Tony Adsley, noted he was representing Mr. Adsley in a request to install plumbing facilities in a boat house. The original application submitted requested approval to install a commode, lavatory, shower stall and a kitchen sink. The Navigation Board recommended against the granting of the permission and the recommendation to deny the request was based on the concern as to whether this would technically create a small dwelling. In view of this, Mr. Adsley has decided that the application should be limited to the commode and lavatory and not to request approval of the kitchen sink and shower stall. Mr. Hooper noted that the Navigation Board members were contacted concerning this change, and it was his impression that the majority of the members would not oppose the request if presented in this fashion. In response to Mayor Friedman's question as to this request, Mr. Hooper commented that the owner is in the process of selling the property and this request is included in the contract, which is due to be final the end of the month. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS. April 22, 1976 In response to Councilmember Himmelblau's question as to a deed restriction, Mr. Hooper noted that Mr. Adsley would deed restrict it. Also the wastewater will be handled properly and final inspection will have to be given by the Health Department. Councilmember Hofmann felt that this could possibly set a precedent which was a major concern to her. Councilmember Himmelblau indicated that she had received letters from the neighbors in the area supporting this request. Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council adopt a resolution approving the request from Mr. Tony Adsley to grant the facilities, deleting the kitchen sink and shower facilities, and tie it to a protective covenant so it cannot be used as a dwelling; subject to the approval of the Health Department. motion, seconded by Councilmember Trevino, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Pro Tem Snell, Councilmembers Himmelblau, Hofmann, The Noes: Lebermann, Trevino Councilmember Linn Abstain: Mayor Friedman Councilmember Linn felt this should be considered by the Navigation Board.

Harry Savio, Budget Officer, noted that included in the report were the recommendations of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board for golf fees and also the staff recommendation. The primary impact of the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board's recommendation will be toward annual cards to extended times; some of the fees will be raised; a new family membership fee and reduction in fees to University of Texas students and faculty and to the elderly. an amendment to the Parks and Recreation Golf Advisory Board comments which would set the sundown rate at 3:00 p.m. year-round; however, the Research and Budget Office and the Parks and Recreation Department are not in agreement with this. The staff felt that the rate should remain flexible to allow maximum utilization of evening playing. There was Another recommendation included was a weekend rate increase of $.50 which will produce revenue in excess of $30,000 and will have a minimum impact on the Austin golfers. This was not recommended by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, but only the Budget Office. In response to Councilmember Linn's question as to the reason the University of Texas faculty fees are being reduced, Mr. Savio stated that the City has a contract with the University of Texas to use the land on which Lions Municipal Golf Course is located. Councilmember Himmelblau requested that Mr. Savio or Mr. Jack Robinson maintain a record over a six-month period to see how many non-residents are using the facilities. Mayor Pro Tem Snell had questions concerning the cards and privileges being extended to Huston-Tillotson and St. Edward's University. It was noted that the University of Texas is permitted to play for free on all of the municipal golf courses. This pertains only to the University of Texas golf team members. Mayor Pro Tem Snell suggested that golf teams from any local university or college should be entitled to the same privileges as the University of Texas. Mr. Robinson commented that if this privilege was extended as specified, then the high schools and junior high schools would also want the same privilege. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 22, 1976 Mayor Pro Tem Snell also pointed out that a qualifying round had taken place at Morris Williams Course that excluded Blacks and wondered how this happened. MR. VOLMA OVERTON stated that this happened during the qualifying for the State Amateur Golf Tournament and Blacks were not allowed to enter the tournament. It was noted that to be eligible to qualify for the State Amateur Championship one must be a member of a country club. Mr. Overton was not in agreement with this statement. City Manager Davidson indicated that the City was not in a position to defend the policies or operations of this particular organization, and the Council can determine the policy as regards play on the courses. Mr. Robinson stated that he was unaware that the organization excluded Blacks. City Manager Davidson asked Mr. Overton to furnish him with the names of persons that are Black and were turned away at the tournament. Councilmember Linn suggested that a policy be examined that would make sure that this does not occur again. City Manager Davidson felt that such a policy already exists and he would make sure that this type of action is not condoned and there would not be such an exclusion in the future. sum. Mr. Overton objected to the annual card and to paying the fee in a lump He felt that it denied many minorities an opportunity to play golf. Also, he was in opposition to the prime time aspect of the ordinance; the increase in fees for out of town players and the increase in fees for students of other area colleges and a decrease for the University of Texas students. WOODROW SLEDGE, representing the Austin Independent School District, was in agreement with Mr. Overton in that no matter if a school is public or private, it should not be given free privileges on the golf courses. Mr. Sledge also expressed concern over a fee charged for use of the tennis courts for tournaments. Councilmember Lebermann stated that the reason for the situation with the University of Texas was due to certain negotiations with the University. BAILEY MARSHALL, President of the Austin Golf Association, stated that they were in support of the recommendation of the Parks and Recreation Board except for the staff's recommendation for the $.50 increase. LAWRENCE WEST, President of the Senior Golf Association, would like to see the fees return to the 1974 costs and felt that they should not be classified as a third class citizen. He hoped that the Council would authorize a lower rate for the annual card and also that they can pay it on a 60-40 basis. DR. PAUL RICHMOND commented that the recommendation to raise the holiday fee would be detrimental to Austin since it is not a custom in other towns nor should there be a charge for out of town players. He also opposed the increase of $.50. LEE CLIFTON wondered if the Council really realized the difference people were now paying due to the increase in golf fees. Motion Mayor Pro Tem Snell moved that the Council delay any action on amending Section 24-2.1(a) of the City Code to adjust golf fees for municipal courses until April 29 to allow time for additional work on the ordinance.

DOTTIE MULLINS, Austin Women's Golf Association, was concerned that the people that wanted to play nine holes of golf have to pay the same amount as the ones playing 18 holes. Due to health and other reasons, Mrs. Mullins pointed out that they were unable to play a complete 18 holes of golf and would like to see the fee reduced to half. Mayor Friedman asked Mr. Savio to take this into consideration in the coming week when the ordinance is discussed.

CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 22, 1976 اماک MEMORIAL GARDEN City Manager Davidson stated that this report resulted from a suggestion made by Councilmember Hofmann and Mr. Jack Robinson will explain this request. Mr. Jack Robinson, Director of Parks and Recreation, stated that Councilmember Hofmann requested the Parks and Recreation Department staff to prepare a plan for the development of a Memorial Garden in memory of municipal employees who have died in the line of work. After looking at several locations, it was proposed that the Memorial Garden be located in Zilker Park near the existing rose garden and be an area for quiet meditation. Within the next couple of years, a reflection pond will be constructed and the Memorial Garden would fit well in this area. Mr. Robinson indicated that the total cost for the project would be approximately $1,500 and hoped to obtain these funds from the City employees. A plaque is planned on which the names of employees being memorialized might be displayed within the garden area. In response to Councilmember Himmelblau's question concerning Waterloo Park, Mr. Robinson noted that this was considered as well as other areas but felt that Zilker Park would be the most appropriate place.
