Rios, Center Director of East Rural Neighborhood Center, appeared before the Council to discuss budgeting of rural neighborhood centers. He stated that although the center was located in the County, the City of Austin still administers money for their program. Mr. Rios noted that his presence at the Council meeting was to ask that justice be given to the people. Mayor Friedman asked Mr. Rios if he had discussed this matter with the County Commissioners, and Mr. Rios stated he had but was informed that he would have to come before the Council since it was responsible for administering the money for their program. Mayor Friedman pointed out that the City administers the money but it is contracted to the County to operate the centers and they have agreed to the funding levels. Mr. Rios stressed that he was not present to ask for money but to make the Council aware of the situation that exists regarding the rural neighborhood center. MRS. KERRIE MANOR urged the Council to help the poor people since they had been treated unjustly in this matter. She felt the Council should pay attention and try and find out what is going on with the neighborhood rural centers and help them get their share of the money that is due them. She stated that certain money that was supposed to have been designated for them was not received and had been frozen. In response to Mayor Pro Tem Snell's question, Mrs. Manor stated that Mr. Andy Ramirez, Director of Human Resources, informed them that certain money had been frozen and would not be received. Mr. Rios stated that the people in the rural areas felt that they had been lied to because money was promised to them which they did not receive. After contacting the County on this matter, Mr. Rios stated that the County told them to see the City about the problem. Mayor Friedman pointed out that the money is allocated to the rural centers by contract with the County Commissioners and if the contract is to be changed, it would have to be negotiated with the City. At the present time, rural areas are being given 18% of the total funds coming in which was agreed to by the County Commissioners. In response to Councilmember Linn's question, Mr. Rios stated that in terms of what the center had not received, it did not receive a van and staff for which money was available. MR. JESSE COLUNGA, Center Director of the South Rural Center, stated that his main concern was the management of the money and that the money be spent as directed by CSA. Mr. Colunga commented that the centers had anticipated equipment but were informed that the money had been frozen and things could not be provided. In response to Councilmember Trevino's question as to the money being frozen, Mr. Colunga stated that the money was made available but the City did not allow it to be spent. Mr. Andy Ramirez, Director of Human Resources, stated that there were certain amendments to the CSA budget which occurred about February, 1975. Mr. Ramirez noted that when he became associated with the Human Resources Department in May, 1975, there was an existing budget of $607,000 that was allocated and about 12 items that had been budgeted; however, by that time CSA had informed the City that they would be left with a carry over and be funded for ten months at $35,000 per month. He noted that he recommended to the Commission that it be recommended to the Council to freeze the projects that had not been implemented because there was not enough CSA money to implement the projects. 2075 September 23, 1976 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS In response to Councilmember Trevino's question, Mr. Ramirez stated that the curtailment occurred in the urban areas as well as the rural areas with the rural centers bearing the biggest curtailment. Mr. Ramirez pointed out, that in terms of poor population, that 11.5% of the poor reside outside the City limits; 88.5% reside inside the City limits. He urged the rural centers to put together a proposal that would ask for additional staff and submit it to the County. Mr. Ramirez pointed out that regarding the money that was never received or not spent, the CSA did not send the amount of money that was requested but a lower amount. Mayor Friedman felt that there had been a misunderstanding and not a lie regarding the amount of money available. MR. FERGUSON, associated with CSA, stated that when the Nixon Administration sought to eliminate the OEO by not placing any money in the budget in 1973, all of the CSA agencies became aware of the possibility that there would be a phase out of the program funded by this government department. The City of Austin began to accumulate funds as they came in in order to have a phase out period of adequate length; however, in a few months the Courts restored the funds and the agencies were advised to restore their previous procedures and operations. For some reason, this did not occur in Austin. Mr. Ferguson stated that meetings were held with Austin at which time they were informed to spend the funds that were on hand. Since no indication was given as to how the funds would be spent if left in Austin, Mr. Ferguson noted that $70,000 was taken from the May and June allocation to the City. The funding level was then reduced from $436,800 to $420,000 since it was obvious the City was not spending all of the money that was being given. Mr. Ramirez stated that he had not been informed by Mr. Ferguson that funds were available and had to be spent. Mayor Friedman stated that a report from the City Manager would be forthcoming concerning this matter. PERMISSION TO USE CERTAIN AREA FOR SALE OF CHRISTMAS TREES Councilmember Hofmann moved that the Council approve a request from Mr. John P. Shierlow, South Austin Optimist Club, for permission to use a strip 200 feet wide facing South Lamar Boulevard, south of the Lamar bridge and 315 feet deep in the Decker League, from November 25, 1976, to December 31, 1976, for the sale of Christmas trees. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Trevino, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Himmelblau, Hofmann, Lebermann, Linn, Trevino, Mayor Friedman, Mayor Pro Tem Snell Noes: None APPEARANCE TO DISCUSS THE NEED FOR APPRENTICES FOR CRAFTSMEN MR. DAVID WHITEHILL appeared before the Council to discuss the need for apprentices for craftsmen and possible conflict of interest of members of the Vending Commission. He felt that the Commission was telling people on the Drag how to conduct their businesses and haafele there was a conflict of interest. Mr. Whitehill felt that persons selling on the Drag should be allowed to have apprentices to help them in selling their merchandise. He felt that the present Ordinance should be changed to allow for apprentices. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 2076 September 23, 1976 Mayor Friedman pointed out that Mr. Whitehill had opposed everything that the Council had proposed for the Vendors and if the Commission was not supportive of Mr. Whitehill's idea, then this should be a good indication of their position. Mr. Whitehill stated that he felt the Commission did not have the right to run his business and felt that the starving artist concept was being pushed. Mayor Friedman noted that if Mr. Whitehill could get a Councilmember to sponsor his amendment then the Council could proceed. Mr. Whitehill reitereated that he felt there is a conflict of interest between the Commission and the vendors. He suggested that another committee be formed that would be composed of vendors who sell on the Drag and would also take care of differences as well. APPEARANCE CONCERNING THE SAND TRAP ORDINANCE AND DISPOSITION OF A REPORT MR. A. M. TOLSON, JR., President of Tolson Oil Company, was supposed to have appeared before the Council to discuss the disposition of the report regarding the Sand Trap Ordinance at self-service gasoline outlets at convenience store locations; however, MR. BRAD HAM appeared in hissstead. Mr. Ham inquired as to the status of the Industrial Waste Ordinance and if it was being changed to accommodate the problem concerning grease and sand traps at self-service gasoline outlets. Mayor Friedman stated that it had been forwarded to the Environmental Resource Management office for consideration. Dr. Maureen McReynolds, Director of Environmental Resource Management, stated that their report was in its final stages and should be ready for Council presentation in two weeks. APPEARANCE TO DISCUSS SIDEWALK PROJECT DR. MILTON W. TALBOT, JR., appeared before the Council to discuss the Mesa Drive Sidewalk Protect, CIP No. 75/160. Dr. Talbot noted that he was representing 25 property owners that are involved in this particular section of Mesa Drive. He pointed out that his group was not opposed to the Sidewalk Construction Program; but he was concerned with the need of sidewalk construction of this length and cost in an area of this complexity for the number that will be served. Dr. Talbot referred to the procedures and policies involving sidewalk projects and felt that the 10-day notification to property owners before beginning sidewalk construction was inadequate. He also expressed concern about the lack of uniformity in other City sidewalk construction and felt that not enough attention is given to the appearance and the ultimate outcome. In conclusion, Dr. Talbot felt that more consideration should be given to the surface of the sidewalks similar to the type of aggregate surface that is used in the parks. Mayor Friedman noted that the Council had received letters from the property owners referred to by Dr. Talbot; the Council had also received a petition from area property owners who supported the Mesa Drive Sidewalk Project. こ =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 2077 September 23, 1976 MRS. MARTHA BURNS, representing the Doss Elementary School PTA, stated that this need for sidewalks along Mesa Drive is very great and is necessary to insure the safety of the children who use streets in getting to school. She pointed out that this sidewalk program is supported by the following: 1. City departments 2. Sidewalk Committee 3. Northwest Austin Civic Association 4. Three public schools that are involved 5. The PTA's of the schools involved She urged the Council to install the sidewalks as soon as possible. City Manager Davidson stated that Dr. Talbot had contacted his office regarding the property owners'cooneerns, and after studying the Sidewalk Construction Program, he recommended the project proceed as planned. Mr. Davidson pointed out that on all sidewalk construction projects the 10-day notice is always given to surrounding property owners. MR. VICTOR WILLIAMS, Engineer in Public Works, presented to the Council a slide program which depicted the location of the Mesa Drive Sidewalk Project. Mr. Davidson pointed out that this project is a part of the contract for construction of sidewalks which already has been awarded by the City Council, but out of respect to Dr. Talbot and other property owners the construction on this particular sidewalk is temporarily delayed until this matter could be presented to the Council. He noted that this location has been studied by the Urban Transportation Department as well as receiving input from the concerned PTA's. Councilmember Hofmann commented that this terrain is not any different from that encountered on South 1st Street project, and asked Dr. Talbot if he was aware of the damage caused to tricycles by the aggregate surface. Dr. Talbot stated this particular area of Mesa Drive has virtually no children. City Manager Davidson pointed out that this area represents a natural collector point for children that come to Mesa Drive from the adjoining streets. Dr. Talbot reiterated that he was not opposed to the Sidewalk Construction Program, but wanted the Council to verify that the need was present, and that the standards of construction be reviewed. In response to Councilmember Himmelblau's question, Mr. Davidson commented that he did not recommend that exposed aggregate be installed because the City could not afford it; however, the City has agreed, in this particular ease, to accommodate almost any aesthetic type of requests that the property owners have at the property owners expense. MR. NED BURNS, President of the Doss PTA, expressed his concern about the safety of the children and definitely felt that there is a need for sidewalks in this area. At the request of Dr. Talbot, Mr. George Henry, Urban Transportation Department, reviewed the figures on the pedestrian usage of Mesa Drive by school children and stated that if the sidewalks are built, children will walk more. Mayor Friedman stated that no action would be taken to stop the project, and the staff would be glad to work with Dr. Talbot and others in proceeding with the project. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS: 2078 September 23, 1976 ZONING HEARING Mayor Friedman announced that the Council would hear the zoning case scheduled for 10:00 a.m. for public hearing at this time. Pursuant to published notice thereof, the following zoning case was publicly heard: DOS BANDEROS David C. Graeber, owner C14h-74-044 410 East 6th Street From "C-2" Commercial 4th Height and Area Το "C-2-H" Commercial-Historic 4th Height and Area RECOMMENDED by the Planning Commission Councilmember Linn stated that she had been contacted by Mr. Graeber and was informed that he would not be present at the Council meeting, and that he was not in favor of the Historic zoning; however, he stated he was resigned to the fact that it would be zoned Historic and would like to appear before the Council at a later date regarding several items including lights and trolleys. Councilmember Trevino moved that the Council grant the change to "C-2-H" Commercial-Historic, 4th Height and Area District, ashrecommended by the Planning Commission.

FINAL REPORT ON LAKE AUSTIN GROWTH MANAGEMENT PLAN Mr. Dick Lillie, Director of Planning, stated that in 1974, the Council authorized the preparation of a plan for a 92-square-mile area encompassing Lake Austin and the watersheds of its tributaries. The program was initiated in 1975, and the Lake Austin Study examined a number of approaches for developing a plan, including the traditional procedure of identifying alternative sketch plans from which one is chosen to draw a master land use plan. The traditional plan seemed particularly inappropriate fo the unique characteristics of the Lake Austin Area. As a result, the City's Department of Planning selected a more flexible approach oriented towards managing growth, employing public policies and performance standards with which future urban development must be in conformance. Mr. Lillie thanked the Council for giving him and the Planning Department the opportunity to get into this kind of a planning program for this area and felt it is a unique opportunity for the community to approach the growth management question in an area that is subject to a great deal of growth. Mr. Lillie also thanked City Manager Davidson and Dr. Maureen McReynolds for their support in the program. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 2079 September 23, 1976 At this time, Mr. Lillie introduced Mr. Bill Espey, associated with Espey Huston and Associates, Inc., that assisted the primary consultants and the staff in this work. Also introduced was Mr. Mike Clark, the primary consultant for the project, who worked with the staff in the development of the program. MR. MIKE CLARK summarized the plan that was distributed to the Council and stated that it sets forth public policies describing the conditions under which urban development shall take place in the planning and how it shall be served by public facilities and services. The plan also describes the priority for acquiring certain lands as permanent open space and for park and recreational purposes. A major purpose of the plan is to develop a plan to protect the water quality of Lake Austin. Mr. Clark then reviewed the five considerations that were dealt with in preparing the plan and stated that he had tried to produce a plan that is balanced to meet the needs and concerns of the community. Mr. Clark stated that he was looking forward to working with the City in the coming months and thanked the Council, City Manager and the Planning Department for having the opportunity to work with the City in the development of this plan. Mr. Lillie pointed out that copies of the report could be obtained in the Planning Department for $5.00 and asked that the Council submit the document to the Planning Commission and the Environmental Board for work sessions and recommendations by them. Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council submit the document to the Planning Commission and the Environmental Baord for work sessions and recommendations by them for the Counciloat a future date. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Hofmann, carried by the following vete: Ayes: Councilmembers Lebermann, Linn, Trevino, Mayor Friedman, Noes: Councilmembers Himmelblau, Hofmann None Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Mayor Pro Tem Snell Councilmember Lebermann felt that this was a genuine landmark in planning for Texas as well as the nation and felt this Council and the last should be extremely pleased with the plan.

Police Chief Dyson commented that this program would benefit the City a great deal in that it is the first step in a new direction that is trying to be established with the Youth Services Program. There will be no cost to the City and volunteer services from graduate students at the University of Texas will be utilized. Chief Dyson noted that the project would be in a Thurman Heights Housing Project in North Austin; this site was selected because of the need in that area and it is tri-ethnically balanced. Chief Dyson felt that this project has a tremendous amount of potential in bringing the family into considerations that have longrange impact in terms of the crime problem within the City of Austin. He expressed his appreciation to all those that have helped get the program started with a special thanks to Lt. Keirsey of the Police Department who originated the program. Chief Dyson also took this opportunity to inform the Council of other projects that have recently been started that are doing very well. One of the programs is the Organized Crime Unit that is doing a tremendous job and the other one is the Investigative CID Aid Program that is a volunteer type program, which now has 29 involved with it. 2091 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 23, 1976 POSSIBLE SALE OF CITY OWNED PROPERTY KNOWN AS "BATTS HOUSE" City Manager Davidson stated that he had submitted a memorandum to the Council from Mr. Joe Morahan, Director of Property Management, regarding this item. Mr. Davidson noted that he had received an inquiry from an Austin citizen who is interested in purchasing the property and restoring it for single-family residential use. Because of the unique circumstances and the qualities the house has, Mr. Davidson felt that a preservation of the house should not wait longer and asked that the Council direct this report and his recommendation to sell the property, to the Planning Commission for their consideration. Mayor Friedman noted that since the Council was not opposed to this request, then Mr. Davidson could proceed with the propertnotifications and advertising of bids. City Manager Davidson pointed out that the Council would have the opportunity to see the final amount that would be submitted and he knew that the Council would be submitted and he knew that the Council would want some assurances as to what the eventual use of the property would be. Mr. Davidson stated that at the present time, the property is not zoned Historic, but the Historic Landmark Commission may want to consider this and he would check with them on this before bringing it back to the Council. In response to Councilmember Hofmann's question, Mr. Davidson commented that stipulations could be attached to the house with regard to the landscaping and restoration of thepproperty. PUBLIC HEARING ON 1976-77 ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET Mayor Friedman opened the public hearing scheduled for 2:30 p.m. to discuss the 1976-77 Annual Operating Budget. MR. JOE PINNELLI, representing AFSCME, Local 1624, noted that his organization has endorsed the concept of a pay increase being distributed equally to all City employees. Mr. Pinnelli stated that his membership voted that the only fair and equitable way to give employees a relief from inflation is to divide the available money equally among all of the employees. He felt that the lump sum compromise was not a raise at all but more of a Christmas bonus and would not have any bearing on the hourly wage. He urged the Council to distribute the money equally among the City employees. MR. ROGER DUNCAN commented that the lump sum increase would cause a crisis in the budget next year and felt this type of raise was only a political move. He urged the Council to distribute the raise equally among the employees. SERGEANT DOYNE BAILEEX President, Austin Police Association, suggested to the Council that the vote on the evaluation plan for the Police Department not be considered at this time. He noted that the association has been discussing the pay and hoped to return to the Council in approximately 30 days with resolutions that have been made. He encouraged the Council to give a percentage cost of living raise. In response to Mayor Friedman's question, Sgt. Bailey felt that the percentage raise would be more of an incentive for the police officers in wanting to advance themselves. 2092 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 23, 1976 MR. BRUCE PETTY, Electric Power Production, commented that due to the pay at the present time, the majority of technicians in Electric Power Production do not stay any length of time. He felt in order to keep good workers they were going to have to receive a decent raise. MR. DENNIS McCOY, a former City employee, addressed his comments to matters he felt had not been given due consideration such as the parking situation around the municipal building and the turnover rate of employees in certain areas. Mr. McCoy responded to Councilmember Hofmann's question by stating that he was a former employee of the Planning Department. MR. JAMES OLSEN addressed his comments regarding the Homestead Exemption and the recent revaluation of real estate. Mr. Olsen felt that this revaluation created a hardship especially for people on fixed incomes such as the retired seniors. He encouraged the Council to raise the Homestead Exemption to $7,000 which would be some relief for the senior citizens. He concluded by suggesting that all property be equitably assessed at 100% of value and give an exemption of $10,000. LYLE HAMNER spoke regarding the Homestead Exemption and noted that letters had been sent to all of the Councilmembers concerning this matter. Mr. Hamner felt that if an increase of $2,000 in Homestead Exemption was decided upon by the Council, it would not be good for the senior citizens. He then referred to the Board of Equalizationss recommendation of the $10,000 exemption and the State Legislative Social Services Committee, which has recommended that the Homestead Exemption be made at least $10,000 and mandatory state-wide. In conclusion, Mr. Hamner urged the Council to give the $5,000 increase. DURWOOD BELL, representing the Austin Area Human Services Association, referred to the contractual service to social service agencies and noted that the City Manager recommended $750,000 for the various agencies. Mr. Bell pointed out that if these agencies were not in existence, the Court system, hospital system and police system would all have an increase in the work load. Mr. Bell asked that the City allocate 1% of its total operating Budget, when debt service and similar costs are removed. Mayor Friedman pointed out that the budget this year represents a 2-1/2% increase for the City budget, which is the smallest increase in a long time. T. C. CALHOUN, commented that he was appearing in place of Dr. Roy Johnson, President of the Austin Retired Teacherss Association. Mr. Calhoun noted that he was speaking for all elderly citizens of Austin and pointed out that most of them are on fixed incomes and if they did not receive some help on the homeowner taxes, more people will be on welfare. Mr. Calhoun asked that the Council grant the $10,000 Homestead Exemption tax. GEORGE BRAY agreed with the previous remarks by speakers regarding the need for an adequate Homestead Exemption for retired people that own their homes. Mr. Bray enumerated the many things that the senior citizens do for the City in volunteer service and congratulated the senior citizens for all of their efforts and work. CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS 2093 September 23, 1976 DON WALDEN, Chairperson of the Environmental Board, noted that he had submitted a letter to the Council regarding the recommendations for the budget for the Environmental Resource Management office. The Board has voted unanimously to endorse the recommendations of five professional staff positions and the operating and maintenance fund recommendation was to keep it at $70,899. Motion Councilmember Trevino moved that the Council close the public hearing on the 1976-77 Annual Operating Budget. The motion, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Snell, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Himmelblau, Hofmann, Lebermann, Linn, Trevino, Mayor Friedman, Mayor Pro Tem Snell Noes: None Motion Councilmember Trevino made the following motion: Within the appropriate portion of the Operating Budget recommended by the City Manager, I move the following amendments: First, that within the specified departments, we delete the following number of personnel positions: City Attorney - 3 positions budgeted at $46,050 Planning Department 1-1/2 positions budgeted at $20,448 Hospital - 2 positions budgeted at $19,218 Library - 6 positions budgeted at $70,000 Parks and Recreation Trusts & Endowments - 3 positions budgeted at $25,000 - 1 position budgeted at $9,490 1 painter's position budgeted at $10,000 Engineering Department - 1 position budgeted at $8,235 Police Department - Where specific positions are not identified, the necessary cutbacks in personnel should be at the discretion of the City Manager working with these departments; Second, that the City Manager be instructed to develop the necessary agreements for Council approval that would implement a contractual arzangement for outside laundry services for Brackenridge Hospital; Third, that the following additional changes be made: Reduction in City of Austin affiliations Reduction in Special Services - $84400 $14,380 Reduction in Capital Equipment purchases - $280,000 Reduction in Travel and Training Budgets - $75,000 Reallocation of charges presently made to the General Fund - $30,000 Reallocation to the Auditorium fund of charges presently made to the General Fund - $131,000 Specific allocation of the reductions are to be left to the discretion of the City Manager in consort with the various departments. However, I want to specifically make it part of my motion that the R.O.M. Reader requested by the Library not be effected by the proposed capital equipment reductions. Added to CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 2094 September 23, 1976 the existing fund balance in the recommended budget, that leaves $1,946,021 in available funds. As the remaining part of my motion, I move that these funds be used in the following ways: First, that a lump-sum payment of $550 for every city employee be substituted for the presently budgeted 4% pay raise; Second, that we increase the homestead exemption for senior citizens from $5,000 to $7,000; Third, that we increase City employee vacation leave according to the schedule recommended by Councilmember Lebermann and that I have attached to this motion; Fourth, that we increase funding by $131,594 for the Central Texas Medical Foundation; Fifth, that we increase personnel and services at the East Austin Dental Clinic by appropriating $60,000 so that the clinic can service qualified people from the entire community; Sixth, that we increase the budget of the Health Department by $39,238 to be used for the South Austin community clinic; Seventh, that we increase the Parks and Recreation budget by $20,000 to be specifically used to provide year-long programming and staff at the Zaragosa Recreation Center; Eighth, that we increase the salary of the City Manager by $3,000 and the salary of the City Clerk by $1,500; Ninth, that we allocate, according to the schedule that I have provided, $732,584 in addition to the $750,000 already budgeted -- or a total of $1,482,584 to 34 community service and cultural agencies and organizations; And tenth, that we place the remaining $502,654 in the year-end reserve, bringing that total to $1,502,654. Eleventh, that the Council appropriate funding to the Mexican-American Chamber of Commerce for the promotion of tourism and conventions and also additional funding for the Austin Chamber of Commerce for the same purpose. Specifically, the appropriation would be $25,000 for each body, to be planned, expended and evaluated as if it were a single fund of $50,000. Such an appropriation would require that the Mexican-American Chamber of Commerce and the Austin Chamber of Commerce agree upon a plan for expenditures for the entire fund and that this plan be submitted to the City Council for review and adoption. No funds would be spent or commiteed before such a plan has been approved. The appropriation would ašso require that an audited finance report before December 1, 1977, be prepared by both organizations to reflect actual expenditures as related to the plan adopted by the City Council.

The budget I am now proposing still includes additional funding for the Central Texas Medical Foundation of $131,594. It also allocates the $209,500 in order to increase the Homestead Exemption to $7,000. I have revised the pay increase for City employees. I remain convinced that the most equitable way to pass on an additional pay supplement is a flat rate which will benefit the majority of employees. However, in order to accomplish several other budget additions, I am recommending that a flat rate of $54.96 be given to all City employees. This will enable us to fund the following programs which I feel should not be cut: Under the Office of Environmental and Resource Management 1 additional professional $ 13,949 Under the Personnel Department: 2 trainers and 1 clerical in order to accomplish the training program $ 36,784 Under the Library: Microfilm Catalogue System Telephone Information Service Reserve System $ 36,000 19,000 39.000 $144,733 Total In order to minimize cost, however, I am also requesting that a 25¢ charge be established to offset the reserve requeastsystem's costs. This will bring in additional revenues of $15,600 based on last year's level of service. It is my continuing belief that the taxpayer of Austin deserves to have some relief. While I understand that the 24 tax cut is not as much as any of us would like it to be, I remain committed to returning unused funds back to the citizen. I believe that a million dollar cushion is sufficient, for the ending balance since it is some 333% higher than the balance reserved last year. It represents a good faith effort on the Council's behalf to cut City expenditures. I would rather not assess the taxpayer if there is to be no return in additional municipal services provided. Therefore, I am also recommending for your approval a 2ç tax cut. This is how the budget looks: There is $2,984,543 unallocated funds. We should fund the following: $ 39,000 Reserve System $ 19,000 Telephone Information Service $ 36,000 Microfilm Catalogue $ 36,784 Personnel for Training Program $13.949 ERM Staff 2101 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 23, 1976 which leaves $2,749,810 unallocated. subtract 1,501,200 Total for social services and arts program 1,248,610 subtract 131,594 Central Texas Medical Foundation supplement 1,117,016 subtract 209,500 Homestead Exemption 907,516 subtract 480.000 2¢ç tax cut 427,516 add add 50,000 City MManager's funds for Humane Society 15,600 25¢ charge for reserve system 493,116 subtract 490,000 for flat pay rate of 54.96 to City employees 3,116 ending balance over and above the $1,000,000 I also support $25,000 funding for the Mexican-American Chamber of Commerce. It should be noted, however, that these monies are allocated out of the bed tax and, therefore, have no direct effect on the Operating Budget. Thus, with these recommendations, including additional Library, ERM and Personnel training, $1.5 million for social service and art programs, a City employee pay supplement and a Homestead Exemption--the budget balances AND allows the Council to return a tax cut. I urge you to consider it. The amendment died for lack of a second. Friendly Amendment - Not Accepted Councilmember Linn offered a friendly amendment that the Fire Department not be reduced to two squad trucks. Councilmember Trevino did not accept the amendment.

Councilmember Himmelblau agreed with what Councilmember Linn was trying to do and stated she had great difficulty with some of MHMR's functions and she would not mind tying them down. Councilmember Trevino did not accept the amendment. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 2102 September 23, 1976 There was general discussion among the Council, Assistant City Manager Jim Miller and Mr. Mike Manor, Administrative Assistant to John Weimer, Executive Director, MHMR, regarding the feasibility of the preceding amendment. Mr. Miller asked that funding for MHMR not be tied to a specific position because federal matching funds would not be available. He suggested that funding be granted contingent upon having the positions assigned to a particular location. Councilmember Lebermann suggested that the Council negotiate with MHMR. Mayor Pro Tem Snell recommended that the Council sit down with the MHMR Board of Directors and discuss the matter. Amendment to Motion Councilmember Trevino then amended his original motion to include negotiating with MHMR. In response to Councilmember Linn's question, Councilmember Trevino stated that he was unwilling to stipulate that part of the funds granted to Laguna Gloria be used for the Botanical Gardens. In response to Councilmember Linn's question, Councilmember Trevino stated that his recommendations included funding for one additional professional in the Office of Environmental and Resource Management. In response to Mayor Pro Tem Saediéstquestion, Councilmember Trevino stated that he would not include in his recommendations $30,000 for Austin Community Radio. In response to Mayor Friedman's question as to why a flat rate pay increase of $54.92 was not acceptable, Councilmember Trevino stated that he had agreed to a position that had the consensus of the Council.

That the Homestead Exemption be increased from $5,000 to $7,000. That a flat rate pay increase of $54.96 per City employee be granted. That the Central Texas Medical Foundation receive additional funding of $131,594. That the Mexican-American Chamber of Commerce be funded at $25,000. That a 2c per $100 valuation tax cut be granted. In response to Councilmember Linn's question, Mayor Friedman stated that he would accept an amendment to include $2,000, but not $5,000 for the National Council on Crime and Delinquency. In response to Mayor Pro Tem Snell's question, Mayor Friedman stated that he would not delete the 2 tax cut from his motion. In response to a statement by Councilmember Trevino, Mayor Friedman stated that the Central Texas Medical Foundation must be funded at $131,594. There was also a question that the ending balance in this year's CTMF budget was not going to be used, but could not be transferred automatically over to the Central Texas Medical Foundation. He suggested that the budget be adopted with the realization that in case CTMF needed to drawnon extra money next year, it would be because this year's balance could not be transferred to them. Their request would be based on the amount not drawn down for September, which was about $40,000. In response to Councilmember Trevino's statement about the tax cut, Mayor Friedman stated that there was no indication whatsoever that an extra $500,000 would be needed next year. An ending balance of $1,500,000 was more than the financial advisors to the City had said was needed. Should the extra $500,000 be needed next year, he felt that it was better to take it back then and let citizens use it to their benefit this year, rather than have the City hold it. He was concerned that if the extra money were there, it would be spent. Councilmember Himmelblau stated that if the Council voted for Mayor Friedman's 5% pay increase with a $1,000 ceiling, then the ending balance would be only $1,021,512. Second to Substitute Motion Councilmember Linn stated that she would second the motion reluctantly because she really hesitated to be in favor of a 2c reduction in taxes. She thought the City needed to keep the money to have the fire trucks. However, she thought it was vitał to have an across the board raise for City employees in a year with such inflation. Roll call on Mayor Friedman's motion, Councilmember Linn's second, showed the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Friedman, Mayor Pro Tem Snell, Councilmember Linn Noes: Councilmembers Himmelblau, Hofmann, Lebermann, Trevino The Mayor announced that the substitute motion failed to carry. 2105 =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 23, 1976 Mayor Pro Tem Snell stated that he wanted to make it clear that he was not in favor of the 2ç tax cut, but liked the other proposals and thus voted yes. Mayor Friedman then asked Ms. Andrea Beatty if her proposal included changing back to November 11, 1976, for Veterans' Day holiday for City employees. Ms. Beatty responded that it had not been, but she saw no problem with it. Mayor Friedman then stated that City Manager Davidson said that the item could be brought back as part of the personnel policy and did not necessarily have to be reflected in the budget. Friendly Amendment - Accepted Councilmember Himmelblau offered a friendly amendment that there be a 25¢ charge to reserve books at the Library. Councilmember Trevino accepted the amendment. Friendly Amendment - Accepted Councilmember Himmelblau offered a friendly amendment to delete library services to state institutions when contracts expire and bookmobile with the Austin Independent School District unless the City is compensated by the School District. Councilmember Trevino accepted the amendment. Friendly Amendment - Accepted Mayor Friedman offered a friendly amendment that the Humane Society report to the Health Department so that the Society could be supervised with animal control monitoring. Councilmember Trevino accepted the amendment. Councilmember Trevino stated that the Community Development Commission and the Human Services Review Team had recommended setting the second Friday in May as the cut-off date for the submission of proposals by agencies. He also felt that the Council should set a formal deadline. There were also several other recommendations which he did not enumerate. Mayor Friedman stated that the item should come back as a specific ordinance for the Council to approve. Councilmember Trevino agreed.
