CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS- MINUTES OF THE CITY COUNCIL CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Regular Meeting March 10, 1977 10:00 Α.Μ. Council Chambers 301 West Second Street 23 The meeting was called to order with Mayor Friedman presiding. Roll Call: Present: Mayor Friedman, Mayor Pro Tem Snell, Councilmembers Himmelblau, Hofmann, Linn, Trevino Absent: Councilmember Lebermann The Invocation was delivered by REVEREND WAYNE SMITH, Pastor of Asbury United Methodist Church. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council approve the Council Minutes for March 3, 1977. The motion, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Snell, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Friedman, Mayor Pro Tem Snell, Councilmembers Himmelblau, Hofmann, Linn, Trevino Noes: None Absent: Councilmember Lebermann PLANNED PARENTHOOD WEEK Mayor Friedman read a proclamation in celebration of the anniversary of the 40th year of Planned Parenthood which provides comprehensive family planning services to women and men of child-bearing age in the Austin-Travis County area. The proclamation recognized these services, which have been provided with dignity for many years, including a time when family planning was not recognized as a national priority, and set aside the week of March 14-18, 1977, as Planned Parenthood Week. Kay Bart received the proclamation for Planned Parenthood and thanked the Mayor for the proclamation. =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS March 10, 1977 STUDENTS RECOGNIZED Mayor Friedman recognized two groups of students who were attending the Council meeting. They were the fifth graders from Hill Elementary School and the fourth grade class from Casis Elementary School. INTERCOLLEGIATE WATER SKI TOURNAMENT GORDON HALL, President, University of Texas Water Ski Team, appeared before the Council to request permission to have an Intercollegiate Water Ski Tournament on April 16 and 17, 1977, on Lake Austin. Mr. Hall said that the University of Texas Water Ski Team has been in existence for about a year and has reached the point where they need funds. They were requesting permission to have the ski tournament in an effort to raise some money. College teams will be invited to compete with the 8 to 12 colleges expected. The number of participants will be from 80 to 120. They requested the tournament be held in the City Park area of Austin. Mr. Hall said they had surveyed all of the lakes in Travis County and concluded that would be the best place for their tournament. Planned traffic control has been worked out with plans to place four pick-up boats at each end of the ski course. That way, he said, an oncoming boat can be informed a ski tournament is in progress, and a request will be made that the boat idle on the other side of the lake, thus preventing danger to the skier or the boater. He assured that the boat ramp at City Park would not be hindered at all. Mayor Friedman asked if the plans for the tournament had been checked with the lake patrol and the City administration. Mr. Hall responded they had presented their plans at a Navigation Board meeting. Parks and Recreation Department had told him they could not have a boat there for the sole purpose of watching the tournament, but would do the best they could to keep one there on a fairly regular basis. The boat would have to go somewhere else in the event of an emergency. The Mayor also asked if Mr. Hall were in agreement with the three recommendations made by the Navigation Board: 1. 1:00 p.m. closure for the slalom event. 2. Eight tournament patrol boats (four at each end) 3. Length of course reduced from 850 feet to 550 feet after the slalom is completed. Mr. Hall assured the Mayor that they would abide by the recommendations. Homer Reed, Deputy City Manager, assured the Council that the Navigation Board did approve the tournament, with the three conditions. Councilmember Trevino asked if the spectators will be charged to enter City Park or will they be charged so much per car. Mr. Hall said there would be no charge on their part to the spectators. LONNIE DAVIS appeared before the Council to say he had correspondence from Mr. Jack Robinson, Director of Parks and Recreation, indicating they did not approve the tournament because they just do not have the patrol boats to take care of this type of thing. He went on to say that if patrol boats at both ends will take care of it, then Mr. Robinson would agree to the tournament. Mayor CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS March 10, 1977 Friedman said the ski team would provide the patrol boats, and the normal lake patrol will be aware of what is going on and might be able to check by more frequently. He commented that he did not think there would be a problem. Councilmember Linn moved that the Council grant the University of Texas Ski Team permission to hold an Intercollegiate Water Ski Tournament April 16 and 17, 1977, on Lake Austin. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Trevino, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Pro Tem Snell, Councilmembers Himmelblau, Hofmann, Linn, Trevino, Mayor Friedman Noes: None Absent: Councilmember Lebermann LAND CLARIFICATION Mr. Junious E. Scott, President, St. John's Community Association, appeared before the Council to discuss land clarification. He said there had been a mix-up in the recording of deeds and land boundaries a long time ago, but the fact became evident when Urban Renewal began upgrading property in the St. John's area and found there is a tax problem concerning Lot 16 and Lot 17 in Block 6. Mrs. Wiggins lives on Lot 17, but has been paying taxes on both her lot and an overlap on Lot 16. Mrs. Wiggins stated that she had paid her taxes, but cannot get her property fixed by Urban Renewal until the deed to her property is straightened out. Mayor Friedman told Mr. Scott and Mrs. Wiggins that very little can be done until there is a title search. He told them the City Attorney and his staff will work with them. Jerry Harris said a member of his staff will set up a meeting with St. John's Community Association soon to discuss the problem and ascertain the solving of it. A report will be made back to Council. Ms. Lucille Ward spoke on Mrs. Wiggins behalf. ZILKER PARK GARDEN SHOW The President of the Austin Area Garden Council, MRS. ROGER G. PARKER, appeared before the Council to request permission to close free admittance to the Zilker Park Gardens and Building on April 30, 1977, and May 1, 1977, and that an entry fee of $1.00 be charged on those dates only. These will be the days of their annual fund raising event when they endeavor to raise money to assist Parks and Recreation Department in keeping Zilker Park gardens beautiful for the citizens of Austin. Councilmember Linn moved that the Council approve the charging of an entrance fee to Zilker Park Gardens on April 30 and May 1, 1977. The motion seconded by Councilmember Himmelblau, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Himmelblau, Hofmann, Linn, Trevino, Mayor Friedman, Mayer Pro Tem Snell Noes: None Absent: Councilmember Lebermann At this point, Councilmember Lebermann entered the Council Chamber. C - CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS March 10, 1977 ELECTRIC RATE ORDINANCE MS. SHUDDE FATH appeared before Council to discuss Austin's electric rates and request consideration of an Electric Rate Ordinance. In July, 1975, Mayor Friedman appointed the Mayor's Commission on Electric Rates. She and 14 others were elected to serve on the Commission. Their goal was to establish fair electric rates. The recently adopted goals had first in line equity to the rate structure (equity being defined as a presumption in favor of allocating costs to each customer based on an equal charge per kilowatt hour). She said the new goals met with the approval of most citizens at a public hearing on February 15, 1977. She said when she made an interim flat rate motion on February 22, 1977, the Commission passed a substitute motion to accept interim flat rate as one possibility. A meeting was set for March 1, 1977, for various rate structure strategy, but they did not have a quorum. She said that she had been told there had been two previous electric rate commissions, and that the present Council would drown them in data until a new Council was elected. Ms. Fath explained she was there to plead guilty to her part in the Commission's delays and errors, but mainly she was there to say it was not too late for the present Council to do something to abolish unfair electric rates. Her request to the Council was to pass a resolution immediately directing the Legal Department to prepare for consideration at the March 17, 1977, meeting, an interim, flat rate ordinance with a 10-year grandfather clause from November to April for all electric customers with resistance heating, with a monthly minimum bill of $5.00 and with existing demand meters zeroed to the highest demand recorded in 1976. The interim flat rate, she continued, should be based on the projections for each fiscal year, and the ordinance should provide for a rate adjustment when projections fail to materialize, Mayor Friedman informed Mrs. Fath of Council's hiring of a firm to do specifically what they want as a new rate structure. He said it would be premature to do any changing of rates at this time. Touche-Ross, the firm hired, plans to revise rates in accordance with the cost of service, according to the Mayor. He said at this time there is no data to support Mrs. Fath's request. Motion Died Councilmember Linn moved that the proposal for an interim rate be forwarded to Touche-Ross and a report brought back to the Council on March 14, 1977, as to whether or not this is a feasible interim rate structure while the Commission studies other rates. The motion died for lack of a second. Mrs. Fath informed the Council she would be back every week until the present Council is out of office. Mayor Friedman informed her that the Council has made it very clear her suggestion of an interim rate is not feasible, is not supported by the data, is not supported by the revenue, and is not supported by the facts. He said she could come back every week if she wanted to but there would be no action because there was no sense in hiring a consultant to study the problem under an ill-conceived motion. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS March 10, 1977 PARADE PERMIT EMERGENCY ITEM Councilmember Lebermann moved that the Council approve a Parade Permit request from Mr. Ron Blackmore for the Austin Live Stock Show and Travis County Sheriff's Posse from 11:00 A.M. to 2:00 P.M., Sunday, March 13, 1977, beginning on Manchaca Road at City limits to South Lamar, north on Lamar to City Coliseum.

The motion, seconded by Councilmember Hofmann, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Pro Tem Snell, Councilmembers Himmelblau, Hofmann, Lebermann, Linn, Trevino, Mayor Friedman Noes: None EAST RIVERSIDE DRIVE PROJECT Councilmember Linn moved that the Council adopt a resolution to authorize the acquisition of certain land for the East Riverside Drive project. Improvements Program, East Riverside Drive project) Him 5,676 square feet of land out of that certain 13.00-acre tract of the Santiago Del Valle Grant. (First Wisconsin National Bank of Milwaukee) (Capital The motion, seconded by Councilmember Himmelblau, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Himmelblau, Hofmann, Lebermann, Linn, Trevino, Mayor Friedman, Mayor Pro Tem Snell Noes: None STREET PARTY CLOSING - EMERGENCY ITEM The Council had before them an emergency item to consider temporarily closing the 400 and 500 blocks of West 23rd Street, from 12:00 noon until 10:00 p.m., March 19 and 20, 1977, for the Spring Fling Welcoming Spring Equinox Street Party. (Alternate dates: March 26 and 27, 1977, in the event of rain.) Councilmember Himmelblau said she co-sponsored this emergency item with Councilmember Linn and wanted to know if the arrangements with the Pi Phi house for the parking had been worked out. Fleet Starbuck, a vendor, said he had talked to someone at the Pi Phi sorority and had told her the only place where the street would be solidly blocked off was at Nueces and 23rd where a bandstand would be erected. The other parts of the streets would not be blocked off with vendors' booths and a car would be able to pass. SHURI RICHNOW, Chairman of the House Corporation, governing body of the sorority owning the house at 23rd and San Antonio, said no one on the governing body had been contacted, and wanted to speak against the closing of 23rd Street, especially the portion from San Antonio to Nueces on either of the two weekends referred to. said the Pi Phi's had to maintain access to their parking facilities. She said she did not understand why, whenever there was a proposed street closing on 23rd, the Pi Phi's were not notified. Late on Monday, she went on, they were finally contacted by the City Manager's office. Councilmember Linn said perhaps they were not contacted since their house does not face 23rd, and wondered if the Pi Phi's would object to the proposal made that the alley be left as an access for them. Ms. Richnow replied she had a serious reservation because it She March 10, 1977 =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS was her understanding there would only be two patrolmen and with such a large gathering it concerned her whether they would be able to maintain any order or free flowing traffic. Mayor Friedman informed her there never had been a problem in any other street that had been closed. Ms. Richnow went on to say that in addition to the traffic they always had to contend with trespassing on their lawns and gardens, vandalism and potential destruction with a gathering of that nature. If the celebration is held on the first weekend, the girls will be returning to the Pi Phi house following spring break, and their access to the house for unloading of gear will be diminished. Mayor Friedman pointed out that nothing will change the nature of a University community, and he thought it was no different than a fraternity or sorority requesting a street closing for a party. Councilmember Himmelblau reminded him the closing request was for two blocks and could create more of a problem. Ms. Richnow said the closing from the Drag to San Antonio was not disputed, but she was contending the closing from San Antonio to Nueces. Motion Councilmember Linn moved that the Council approve the temporary closing of the 400 and 500 blocks of West 23rd Street, from 12:00 noon until 10:00 p.m., March 19 and 20, 1977 for the Spring Fling Welcoming Spring Equinox Street Party, alternate dates: March 26 and 27, 1977 in the event of rain, with the alley left open as access for the şi Phi's. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Trevino. Substitute Motion Councilmember Lebermann moved that the Council permit the closing, but only to San Antonio Street. The motion, was seconded by Councilmember Hofmann. Mr. Starbuck informed the Council that the main reason they wanted the street closed from San Antonio to Nueces was to have the bandstand at Nueces so that they are 300 feet from the church. Mayor Friedman asked why they needed to be 300 feet from the church. Mr. Starbuck replied this is necessary for a sound permit..there has to be a distance of 300 feet from a church, school or institution. Councilmember Himmelblau wanted to know what a residency was considered, a residency like the sorority house? Mr. Starbuck said he did not think this fell into the category under the sound permit. Mayor Friedman said he was puzzled because they had had fund raising over the past few years in that area for the People's Clinic. They had been on the church lawn. Mr. Starbuck had, he said, been informed by Mr. Pieter Sybesma of the City Manager's office regarding the necessary requirements. Councilmember Hofmann asked if they could have a band if the closing was limited to one block as the substitute motion indicated. He answered that if they wanted to be within requirements for the sound permit, it would be best to be down by Nueces. Councilmember Lebermann said that surely with the consent of the church regarding the location of the band, there should be no problem. (At this point Mayor Friedman and City Attorney Jerry Harris checked the City law.) Mr. Starbuck went on to say that if there was any problem with the Pi Phi sorority, the vendors could hire a private policeman to watch their house and lawn and be there for the whole event to guard against trespassers. Councilmember Linn asked, "If it were not for the 300-foot requirement, would you have needed the two blocks?" Mr. Starbuck said they would still like to be near the Co-op parking lot so the bandstand is near the vendors. Mayor Friedman asked if the vendors had talked to the people CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS March 10, 1977 at the church, have they agreed with the closing of the church, and he said that the band wouldn't be playing any time Sunday during Church services? Mr. Starbuck said they had contacted the church people and there would be no band playing until after the church service was concluded. Mayor Friedman asked Ms. Richnow and Mr. Starbuck if it would be satisfactory to the sorority and vendors if the following three conditions were set: 1. Close West 23rd from Guadalupe to San Antonio. 2. Amend the sound ordinance with the church's approval. 3. Set up the bandstand in the block that is closed. Mr. Starbuck said it would be very crowded but it could be done. He said the musicians would be on a flat-bed truck and he did not see how this would work out. They would take some vendors spots, and it would be better if they could be on another block. Mayor Friedman said he thought they could move things around. Friendly Amendment to Substitute Motion Mayor Friedman offered a friendly amendment that there be a request for an amendment to the Noise Permit Ordinance that with permission of the church a permit can be issued. Councilmembers Lebermann and Hofmann accepted the friendly amendment. (Mayor Friedman told Mr. Starbuck that in order to get the ordinance amended he would have to get the approval of the church for the two specific weekends.) Roll Call on Substitute Motion Ayes: Mayor Friedman, Councilmembers Hofmann, Lebermann Noes: Mayor Pro Tem Snell, Councilmembers Linn, Trevino Abstain: Councilmember Himmelblau The Mayor announced that the substitute motion had failed. Roll Call on Original Motion Ayes: Mayor Pro Tem Snell, Councilmembers Hofmann, Linn, Trevino Noes: Mayor Friedman, Councilmember Lebermann Abstain: Councilmember Himmelblau The Mayor announced that the original:motion had darrieded Later in the meeting Councilmember Lebermann asked if it would be appropriate to reconsider this issue. Mayor Friedman said that in order to reconsider something, someone from the prevailing side would have to make the motion to reconsider. Motion to Reconsider Councilmember Hofmann made a motion to reconsider. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Trevino. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS March 10, 1977. Councilmember Himmelblau told the Council she had found out her daughter was no longer a dues paying Pi Phi alum and wondered if there would be conflict of interest if she voted. City Attorney Jerry Harris said that only if she stood to gain by her vote; Councilmember Himmelblau said she would not. Mayor Pro Tem Snell said he would rather see this item be put on the agenda again next week. Councilmember Lebermann said that if the original substitute motion passes, it would permit the City Attorney time to come back with the amendment to the sound ordinance, which he felt was important in order to give the Council flexibility in future requests. Councilmember Linn said that there was a great problem when they vote on an issue and people who it effects are in attendance for the issue concerned. The vote is taken and the people leave. Then the Council decides to reconsider, and the people effected are gone. She said she feels this is unfair to the people. Councilmember Trevino agreed, but he said, "This is what will happen. We will take another vote and if the vote is changed you can be assured one of us will put it back on the agenda for next week. And if we are going to have to do it next week, we are going to have to do it and give ample notice to the public." Mayor Friedman said he thought the City Attorney would be able to bring back the various amendments to the City ordinances for the next meeting and have them standing in abeyance. Councilmember Hofmann asked, "Will we bring the whole thing back next week instead of having a reconsideration now?" Councilmember Linn pointed out that one of their problems was their need to know whether or not there was going to be a street closed. Mayor Friedman said the big problem was knowing where they were going to put the band. He said that clearly he thought the item should be brought back for the following week. Motion to Reconsider Withdrawn Councilmember Hofmann and Councilmember Trevino withdrew their motion and second to reconsider. Mayor Friedman stated the item would be included on the March 17, 1977, agenda under resolutions, and under ordinances to cover the sound permit amendment. He said no vote was needed since it was the will of Council. SPECIAL PERMIT FOR BARTON HOLLOW SUBDIVISION At 11:00 a.m. Mayor Friedman opened the public hearing on an appeal from Harold A. Susskind on the decision of the Planning Commission approving a Special Permit for Richard Johns to erect 75 apartment units on the Barton Hollow Subdivision at Barton Hills Drive and Hollow Creek Drive. Mr. Richard Lillie, Planning Department, told the Council the Special Permit is a result of the zoning which was granted by the Council in 1970. He pointed out that there are a number of acres of "B" Residence zoning along Barton Hills Drive in Southwest Austin to just south and adjacent to Zilker Park. Apartment development has occurred on Barton Hills Drive in southwest Austin. In conformance with the zoning, a number of lots on Hollow Creek Drive have been subdivided and developed with tri-plexes and four-plexes, and some apartment complexes. The lot under consideration is one of the few that remains undeveloped. The requirement for the Special Permit, he said, resulted because _ CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS March 10, 1977 the developer was planning to put multiple structures on one tract of land. The "B" zoning would permit approximately 45 units per acre on 3-1/2 acres of land. The Special Permit does include 75 units on 3-1/2 acres of land with a density of just over 21 units per acre, or "BB" Residence zoning density. The applicant has agreed to all of the conditions required by the departments and by the Planning Commission in approval of the Special Permit. Mr. Susskind submitted his appeal on the basis of two questions: 1. Traffic problems in the area, 2. Method of notice. Mr. Lillie said they submitted a memorandum to Mr. Susskind indicating the Urban Transportation staff would be available for questions, and also indicated to him that signs were placed on the property as per Council policy on Wednesday January 19, 1977, and 46 individual notices were mailed to 26 property owners within a 300-foot radius of the tract. He said there is no neighborhood association in the area that they are aware of, so none was possible to notify. Councilmember Linn asked, "If this special permit had not been sought by the builder, what is the density that would have been allowed here?" Mr. Lillie answered that "B" Residence zoning allows about 45 units per acre, which would be between 120 and 160 units on the property rather than the 75 he has planned. This is less than it could have been by about half. "With this kind of development, the traffic problem will be less than it could have been?" asked Councilmember Linn. If a Special Permit were not sought and all of the buildings were connected or there was one big building, a Special Permit would not be needed, was Mr. Lillie's reply. MR. HAROLD SUSSKIND appeared before the Council to say that he had no quarrel with Mr. Johns, but was concerned with the traffic that an additional 75 apartment units would create in an area that was already overcrowded traffic-wise because of the many apartment units. He described how, in the mornings, traffic from all the apartments feed along Barton Hills Drive to the intersection of Robert E. Lee and Barton Hills Drive. He said cars approach this intersection at a rapid pade, and it will not be long before a traffic light will be required. All of this traffic, according to Mr. Susskind, feeds onto Robert E. Lee Road, which has not been improved in the past four years. said the road as it now exists is not good enough or wide enough to handle an increase in traffic. Mr. Susskind said his solution is to approve concurrent action. If the Council is going to approve construction of 75 apartments, then they should also approve the widening and repairing of Robert E. Lee. He went on to say that the City might also consider fixing the washboard officially known as Barton Springs Road. He said the condition of the road near Lamar is very rough. He Councilmember Linn reminded Mr. Susskind that if the Council rejected the Special Permit, then the builder could, under the original zoning, double the number of apartments in the area under discussion. Mayor Friedman commented the Council was restricted by law to only consider the facts applicable to the Special Permit. He did point out to the staff that a study should be requested under the next Capital Improvements Program funding to discuss the transportation problems in the area. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS March 10, 1977 MR. RICHARD JOHNS, a mortgage banker with Lumbermen's Investment Corporation, developer of the proposed apartment project, appeared to talk on behalf of his project. He said that Mr. Edgar James was the architect and they took into consideration the terrain and site-planning, thus reducing the number of units in order to plan for a green belt area. Mr. Johns said he was in sympathy with the problems of the traffic congestion in the area and felt there was a definite need for improvement. He said if the Special Permit were not granted, he could go back and add more units, which was not his choice. Motion Councilmember Trevino moved that the Special Permit be upheld. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Linn RICH ELLMER asked if he could make a few comments to the Council. He said he owned Gaslight Square Apartments at the corner of Robert E. Lee and Barton Hills Drive. He explained that when he bought the property, he saw the plans to widen and straighten out Barton Hills Drive to feed into Robert E. Lee. He said he bought the land and built the project on that basis, and also purchased the lot next to it. Another project is planned with building to begin in the summer. He said the intersection of Barton Hills Drive and Robert E. Lee is extremely dangerous. After Mayor Friedman asked him the purpose of his appearance before Council and he stated it was to bring attention to the traffic situation, Mayor Friedman advised him to return when CIP projects were being discussed.

PAY TOILET ORDINANCE Mayor Friedman informed the Council he thought this item should be put on the agenda for March 17, 1977. Mayor Pro Tem Snell said he wanted to find out how much money the City would lose if the ordinance were passed. Deputy City Manager Homer Reed said the City would lose about $1,300.00 a year in terms of revenue. The contract runs for three more years, he said, and the City would have to have a pay-out price of $1,300 to purchase the contract from the Nik-O-Lok Company. Mayor Friedman asked why we could not grandfather present contracts and ban all future ones. Councilmember Linn replied that the contract we are in is not a good contract and that the City Manager has advised the City to get out right now. Mayor Pro Tem Snell asked how the City would make up the money...that it was time to think of where the City would get extra funds instead of always losing them. Mayor Friedman said he would like to see a much more accurate fiscal note returned with this item when it is put back on the agenda under Ordinances for the meeting on March 17, 1977. Councilmember Linn said there were some people in the audience who would like to make some comments. JEFFREY GWYN appeared to report some facts from the Generation Connection Conference for Aging that was held February 22, 1977, in Austin. He said participants in the Conference are very much in favor of free toilet usage. PAUL SPIVEY addressed the Council as a representative of Nik-O-Lok. He said a bill has been introduced in the Legislature to eliminate pay toilets in the State of Texas. He went on to say he thought the outcome would be that half of the toilets would be free and half of them would be paid. LENNARD SCHLUETER, Continental Trailways representative, said that in the surveys they have taken, customers prefer to use pay toilets. JACK PETRI, representing Greyhound Lines, said that their customers also prefer pay toilets. Councilmember Linn moved that the Council have the ordinance that has been prepared brought back next week for action, with concurrent additional reports if necessary. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Hofmann, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Hofmann, Lebermann, Linn, Trevino, Mayor Friedman, Mayor Pro Tem Snell, Councilmember Himmelblau Noes: None = CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS March 10, 1977 DRAINAGE CRITERIA MANUAL Councilmember Linn moved that the Council accept with thanks to the Engineering Department for their presentation of the "Drainage Criteria Manual" to the Council. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Trevino, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Lebermann, Linn, Trevino, Mayor Friedman, Mayor Pro Tem Snell, Councilmembers Himmelblau, Hofmann Noes: None EAST 26TH/DANCY STREET TRAFFIC FLOW Mr. Ternus, Urban Transportation, reviewed the position of this area for anyone not familiar with it. He said there had been questions concerning the traffic count at the Council Meeting February 24, 1977. In order to clear up the question, Mr. Ternus had charts of the area with figures and diagram of the traffic flow. He said he felt the volumes and traffic conditions that had been presented at that meeting provided a fairly good presentation of the traffic characteristics in the area. Mr. Ternus concluded his report by stating that 26th Street provides a very convenient access to the residential neighborhood and recommended that it remain open. Councilmember Linn asked if they had any problems with the trucks that used that access to get to construction sites. He said they had, and they had talked to the contractor. From now on, continued Mr. Ternus, the trucks will be using IH 35. Mayor Friedman asked if they should consider "No Trucks" signs. Mr. Ternus said they were going to put up "No Through Trucks" signs on Dancy both north of Manor and south of 32nd Street, as well as on 26th Street. He went on to say that there is not a large amount of truck traffic, but in a residential area any truck traffic that can be moved out should be. PATRICK RIGGS, a resident, appeared before the Council to protest 26th Street remaining open. He said there were speed problems as well as truck traffic and noise and safety problems. He questioned whether or not signs prohibiting through truck traffic would be effective. Mayor Friedman indicated that signs had been effective in other areas. He also said the residents were not in favor particularly of closing 26th Street, but 75% of them thought the north end of Dancy should be closed and 60% of them thought the south end of Dancy should be closed. HENRY UMSCHEID appeared before Council to ask that 26th Street remain open. He is a resident of the area and said trucks are a sign of progress. He felt that when the University of Texas construction was completed, there would be no more problem with truck traffic. Councilmember Trevino asked if "Reduce Speed Limits" signs could be erected on Dancy. Mr. Ternus replied in the affirmative. Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council approve the continued opening of East 26th Street, and directed the Department of Urban Transportation to erect signs which say "No Through Traffic" and "Reduce Speed" together with instructions to have the administration closely patrol the area. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Lebermann, carried by the following vote: =CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS. March 10, 1977 Ayes: Councilmember Trevino, Mayor Friedman, Mayor Pro Tem Snell, Councilmembers Himmelblau, Hofmann, Lebermann, Linn Noes: None URBAN TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION Mayor Friedman said that Mr. Moore, Chairperson of the Urban Transportation Commission was not present at the Council meeting, but that his 1976 Urban Transportation Commission Annual Report was in the hands of each Councilmember.
