DIANA SUNIGA, Co-Chairperson of SER Jobs for Progress, appeared before Council to discuss the Manpower Advisory Planning Council recommendations for the funding of Austin urban area subcontractors. She presented background information on SER, by telling the Council it is a national organization with over 60 affiliates throughout the United States. It is primarily a manpower service oriented organization which targets the Spanish-speaking population of the country and assists them with their employment and training needs. for SER programs is generally derived from the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA). The SER program began in Austin in 1971. For two years the SER program in Austin was funded by the Manpower Training and Development Act, which preceded CETA. These funds were available as the result of a contract between the Department of Labor and the national SER office. During those two years, the Austin SER program was ranked as the number one and number two program in the nation. In the last year before CETA, funding for the Austin SER program approximated $250,000. At that time it was a comprehensive program, and it delivered a wide range of employment service to the community. After CETA arrived, the first year of funding totaled $15,000 for SER. That was quite a drastic reduction. In spite of funding obstacles, SER has struggled to remain alive because of the deep conviction that the unemployment problems of the minority community can best be served by a program sensitive to the special needs of the minority community. It is to this end that the SER program is committed and the reason why we are here today. Ms. Suniga then introduced MR. ARTHUR NAVARRO, program director of the SER Jobs for Progress. She said the SER Board has directed Mr. Navarro to present to the Council, for their consideration, a dilemma currently faced in their attempt to gain additional funding and an increasedrvole in the delivery of manpower services to the Austin community. Mr. Navarro appeared before Council to state the dilema is a problem stemming from a recommendation made by the Manpower Advisory Training Council at their meeting on August 31, 1977. They received a unanimous recommendation that SER be funded for $180,000. Subsequent to that in meetings with the Human Resources Department and the Manpower Training Division, SER received instructions requesting them to modify their proposal down to some specifications that had come out in the request for their proposal earlier in the month. Because of the recommendation they got from MATC, they felt they could not comply with that request. MATC bad unanimously spoken in favor of SER's proposal, and they felt that the staff should forward that proposal as it was originally submitted, along with their recommendations. They are, he said, entitled to their views and opinions about the proposal and about the over all manpower program, but they (SER) felt the original proposal should be transmitted to the City Council for their review and their action. Basically, Mr. Navarro continued, that is where the conflict lies, between the proposal SER originally submitted and the request that has been asked of them by the staff. The planning process guidelines of the Capital Area Consortium and the Federal regulations clearly authorize that MATC can play this role and has this authority. "I realize, as well as you do, I am sure, that is an advisory role, but it is an important advisory role. We're talkingaabout an over all $10,000,000 program for the ten-county area, of which the City gets about 70%. And if you are going to have an advisory body that is overseeing that function of running the manpower program, of planning the program, of implementing it, of operating and administering it, and staff is not going to follow the recommendations, then I =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 22, 1977 don't see the purpose of MATC. You are overstepping the bounds of the advisory role. We request that you review our proposal as originally submitted and that you do act on the original proposal." He asked for guidance from the Council. ROBERT MARTINEZ, member of SER board for about four years, appeared before the Council to state that he has seen SER do its services, and seen it go through a difficult period. SER, he said, can work with the City to provide some manpower services jointly working together. "We feel," he continued, "that our proposed request is reasonable with the funds available, and I know that SER, working with the City, is capable of service to the community." FATHER JOE ZNOTAS, Pastor, St. Julia's Church, stated he has been on the SER board for two weeks. His concern, he said, is that these types of programs in the neighborhoods are extremely important. He said he got on the board because he knows the need and is willing to give the time to it. He wants to be able to do the types of things he knows the Council would want them to do in their neighborhood. Mayor McClellan thanked the speakers and said she appreciated their appearance before Council. TAX ROLL CERTIFICATION The Council had before it for consideration a resolution approving the Board of Equalization's certified Tax Roll for the year 1977. Mr. Jack Klitgaard, City Tax Assessor/Collector, appeared before Council to say that "the letter transmitted to you from the Board of Equalization certifies the tax rolls for the City of Austin in the amount of $2,742,114,830.00. This is the roll approved and certified by the Board of Equalization following completion of their hearings of this year." Mr. Klitgaard said he would be happy to answer any questions Council might have. Mr. Klitgaard said this is predicated on the last homestead exemption of $7,000 and does not include any action that would be taken today. Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau moved that the Council adopt a resolution to adopt the tax rolls in the amount of $2,742,114,830.00 as certified by the Board of Equalization, subject to the pending tax appeals. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Cooke, carried by the following vote: Ayes: MayorrMcClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau, Councilmembers Mullen, Snell, Trevino Noes: None _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 22, 1977 ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET The Council had before it an Ordinance to be passed for the adoption of the 1977-78 Annual Operating Budget and appropriating funds for the 1977-78 City fiscal year. (October 1, 1977, through September 30, 1978) Mr. Daron Butler, Director, Budget and Research, handed a list of amendments to Councilmembers on which they had decided during their budget work sessions concerning the proposed 1977-78 budget. He went over the listed items and indicated $750,000 would be added for the increase in the gross receipts tax from 2% to 4%. There would be additional income of $217,636.00 as a result of the Board of Equalization Certification of the Tax Roll. $450,000.00 is anticipated in new income from the 1% City Sales Tax, and $76,000.00 will be picked up as a result of actions and decisions made on the transit CIP. Net Revenue from the general fund and our increased claims activity will be, according to Mr. Butler, $277,077.00. Mr. Butler discussed the amended figures one by one and the Mayor and members of the Council made comments and had discussion where they thought it was appropriate. TRANSCRIPT OF BUDGET ADOPTION IS ON FILE IN THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE. Mayor McClellan stated that instead of the figure of $163,996 which was being suggested as the amended amount for Community Schools, she would like to see the full amount of $177,181 approved. Councilmember Snell said he is very much in favor and impressed by the work Community Schools are doing and offered the following motion: Motion Councilmember Snell moved that the Council approve an amendment to the budget to allow the amount of $177,181 for the funding of Community Schools. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Goodman, Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan Noes: Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau, Councilmembers Mullen, Cooke Councilmember Goodman stated for the record that there is supposed to be a stipulation in the MHMR grant that $15,000.00, which would turn into $30,000 would be allocated to Middle Earth. Councilmember Cooke commented it would be in the Youth Services Program, and then on Hotline. Councilmember Goodman stated it is the Council's understanding that Middle Earth be stipulated in the contract with MHMR. Mr. Liro stated the amount designated for Hotline is $8,140.00. When the figure of $24,592 was stipulated for the Austin Area Urban League, Councilmember Mullen, stated he thought they should be instructed to concentrate their efforts on the employment placement fund,...persons not eligible for CETA. They need to be in a different area than that, or, he said, we are duplicating services. We don't want to do that. Councilmember Snell asked what had happened to the $3,000.00 agreed on for Delta Sigma Theta. He was told, by Mr. Liro, that amount would come out of the Arts Commission recommendation. =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS- September 22, 1977 Councilmember Goodman said: "I think the social and fiscal concerns of each and every Councilmember is in this budget in one way or another. We couldn't have it all our way, but I think it brilliantly reflects politics of compromise." (EXHIBIT "A" next two pages) CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 22, 1977 Motion Mayor McClellan introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING AND APPROVING THE BUDGET FOR THE FISCAL YEAR BEGINNING OCTOBER 1, 1977, AND TERMINATING SEPTEMBER 30, 1978, AND MAKING APPROPRIATIONS FOR EACH DEPARTMENT, PROJECT AND ACCOUNT; SUSPENDING THE RULE REQUIRING THE READING OF ORDINANCES ON THREE SEPARATE DAYS; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY. Councilmember Cooke moved that the Council waive the requirement for three readings, declare an emergency and finally pass the ordinance, appropriating funds for the 1977-78 City fiscal year as presented by the City Manager, with changes. (See Exhibit A). The motion was seconded by Councilmember Goodman. Councilmember Mullen said that before a vote was taken there needed to be a clarification of the percentage by which travel would be reduced. tion ensued regarding the amount of reduction in travel. Amendment to the Motion - Failed Conversa- Councilmember Mullen made an amendment to the motion that the amount of funding allocated for travel be cut by 15% with the City Manager having the flexibility of deciding where the cut will come from. The amendment, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, failed to carry by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Mullen, Cooke, Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau, Councilmembers Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmember Goodman Noes: Amendment to the Motion - Failed Councilmember Mullen made an amendment to the motion that the amount of funding alloted for travel for Councilmembers be cut by 15%. The amendment, seconded by Councilmember Cooke, failed to carry by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmember Cooke, Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau, Councilmember Mullen Noes: Councilmembers Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmember Goodman Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau stated she wanted the following recorded in the Minutes: "When we cut the funding for the Paramount that was recommended by the Arts Commission, I would like our Minutes to reflect that this will be funded... the difference will be funded by Bed Tax, so that the cash flow through the Paramount Theatre will not jeopardize the bookings of the various art groups." Mr. Cooke wanted clarification of shift differential, for nurses at Brackenridge Hospital. The Budget Director, Daron Butler, stated, "those individuals at the hospital that currently get shift differential, would continue to receive that additional benefit. No new employees, nurses and LVN's primarily, added to the staff in the future would receive that benefit. That would be the effect of what Mr. Cooke said. Last night the Council discussed several different proposals...paying newly employed nurses a 50c _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 22, 1977 an hour shift differential, and paying that differential only for hours worked, not including that in their fringe benefit time." Councilmember Cooke said, "Go ahead and add a specification to the motion, 50¢ for RN's, and that includes no progression with regard to their salary increases, as we have just discussed it." Mr. Butler stated the $23,000 could be funded without additional appropriation of funds.

I feel Councilmember Snell stated, "I just want to thank the staff for the hard work hours, they put in working ontthis budget. I want to express thanks to the Council for working hard and trying to get their heads together. really hurt and bad because we were not able to get Building Inspections considered as other departments. I think we must really be looking at buildings and standards as a death trap, but we want you to know that this is a very important department in the City, and we need to fund it in order to carry out the functions as we are trying to carry out... And I want to say this year was the first year that we did not emphasize the Affirmative Action program. was very disappointed that we didn't....I know this is a new Council, but usually we put some stress on the department and what their intentions would be as far as Affirmative Action program is concerned, and we did not do that. I took the privilege of making out a little chart, which I would like for everyone to take a look at pertaining to the departments and their affirmative action program, and how it stands. I wish you would take a look at it during the next year and do something about it." I Mayor McClellan commented: "I just want to say that this budget we are about to adopt really provides needed services at a price that we can afford, and I think that I want to extend a tremendous amount of appreciation on behalf of myself and the Council to all the citizens of this community who participated in this budget, to the staff who has certainly participated in this budget, and my last thanks and appreciation and very enthusiastic appreciation, goes to this Council, who I feel, has worked together very cooperatively, and there has been give and take on the part of everybody in the adoption of this budget, and I think that is what Councils are about, and I think that is what decision making is about." Councilmember Cooke stated: "Point of clarification that this..that the School Board will be in concert with our aspect of the exemption for Senior Citizens and that there will also be some general and specific conditions with regard to Social Services agencies that is coming from the Social Policy Advisory Committee."

NEW FORM FOR AGENDA Mayor McClellan told the Council and Chamber audience that there is a new format on the agenda today. She applogized to people who were there for the 10:30 a.m. public hearing. It was out of necessity that they needed the whole Council there to adopt the budget and had to change that time. She continued, that the way the agenda is done today is to conserve staff time. It is a consent agenda on resolutions and on ordinances. She suggested they go through the agenda at this time and pull the items the Council wants to discuss individually. This will mean they can excuse that part of the staff who will not be needed to answer questions so that they do not have to sit in the Council Chamber all afternoon. The Mayor also suggested that they hold the public hearing on Truth in Selling, scheduled for 10:30 a.m., at 3:00 p.m. The Mayor told the Council that if they are in agreement with the consent agenda procedure, they can, with one motion approve all of the resolutions that they do not want to discuss.

In regard to Seton Hospital, Dr. Williams told the Council that it would not be as easy to work with a private institution and that Seton did not have all of the facilities that would be needed in the program. He stated that the Texas Health Facilities Commission approved the project and location at Brackenridge Hospital on a certificate of need more than a year ago. MR. LOUIS DEMALLE, Vice-President of the Community Council of AustinTravis County, told the Council that studies conducted by his organization showed that the most important priority in Austin was an emergency psychiatric care unit in a general hospital. He pointed out that Austin was the biggest city in Texas that did not have such a facility. MR. BILL PARR, representing the Citizens Ad Hoc Committee for an Emergency Psychiatric Unit, told the Council that his organization felt this would be a good time for institution of the facility in lieu of the already approved grant.

Councilmember Goodman felt that plans to institute the facility should be approved as soon as possible. He felt that the alternatives should be reviewed but that the Council should make some kind of commitment to go ahead and approve the facility.

SHEPPARD ET AL By Donald Bird C14-77-067 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 12003-12005 Bell Avenue 12001 U.S. Highway 183 September 22, 1977 From Interim "AA" Residence 1st Height and Area Το "GR" General Retail 1st Height and Area NOT Recommended by the Planning Commission on the LECOMMENDEDentire site. RECOMMENDED twenty-five (25) feet of "A" Residence, 1st Height and Area along the northern, western and southern boundaries, excluding the area for driveway access to U. S. Highway 183 only, and "GR" General Retail, lst Height and Area on the remainder of the tract. Mr. Joe Ternus, Director of the Urban Transportation Department, told the Council that it was the recommendation of his department that traffic not be allowed to flow from U.S. 183 into the Bell Avenue neighborhood. Mr. Ternus recommended that a new driveway be built into the subdivision by opening up Tweed Court as the only access into the neighborhood. The new driveway would intersect with U.S. 183 at right angles, with an opening of the median at the location and buffering along Tweed Court and on the back of the lots. MR. DONALD BIRD, representing the applicant, indicated that he found the recommendation as proposed by Mr. Ternus acceptable. Mr. MR. ALBERT VANDERLEE, a resident of the area, felt that a cross-over at Bell Avenue was probably the most logical solution. He stated that he was concerned over the buffer situation and felt that buffers along Tweed Court would greatly restrict access to commercial lots in the area. Mr. Vanderlee stated that without the buffers along Tweed Court, there would be access to the commercial lots in the area. He questioned the need for buffers along Tweed Court. Mr. Vanderlee felt that there should be free use of Tweed Court. Ternus indicated that there would be a median break at U.S. 183 and Tweed Court and that traffic coming out of the area would not have to go as far as Texas Instrument to turn around. He pointed out that there would be driveway access to the commercial property in the area but stated that buffers would be needed to screen traffic away from the residential property in the area. Ternus stated that the type and form of bufferéng would eventually have to be worked out by the Planning Commission. Mr. MRS. WARREN BROZ, a property owner to theeeast side of Tweed Court, told the Council that buffering was not needed along Tweed Court. She also felt that an additional cross-over at U.S. 183 and Tweed Court would be dangerous. MR. COYLE BUEHLER, an area resident, told the Council that at a neighborhood meeting, 67% of the area residents were in favor of Plan B. Mr. Buehler presented the Council with a ballot sheet representing the consensus of the area residents. He felt that it was important to maintain a buffer in the residential area to separate it from the commercial area. This would maintain the integrity of the residential area. Mr. Buehler stressed the need for a comprehensive, long-term plan for the area. September 22, 1977 ☑ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council grant "GR" General Retail, 1st Height and Area District with a strip of "A" Residence, 1st Height and Area District, buffering on the north with a 6-foot privacy fence or hedge, and accept Plan C, closing a portion of Bell Avenue and opening Tweed Court with 100 feet of buffering on Tweed Court from Bell Avenue.

Councilmember Trevino requested that the item be postponed until a later date out of courtesy to Councilmember Snell. City Attorney, Jerry Harris, stated that the amendment would empower the Council to grant exceptions to approach main policy when it is deemed necessary to do so. Scenic Brook West Subdivision was cited as an example. Mr. Reed asked the City Attorney if policy exceptions made in the form of a resolution would suffice as to making changes.
