Austin: Growth, Transit, & Liberty Lunch Debates
Major Infrastructure Funding Secured:
Austin successfully sold over $73 million in utility system and general obligation bonds at favorable interest rates, setting the stage for significant future city projects and demonstrating strong financial standing.Reshaping the Urban Landscape:
The council approved numerous zoning changes, converting residential areas to commercial, office, and retail uses to accommodate growth. Debates arose over development specifics like privacy fences, and several applications for historic building designations were denied.Enhancing Transit & Public Safety:
Initiatives like "Ride the Bus Month" were launched to promote public transportation, and new exclusive traffic lanes were authorized for buses, taxis, and multi-passenger vehicles. A "Lock your car - Take your keys" decal campaign was also approved for city parking meters.Local Culture and Community Services Debated:
Following public complaints, the city decided against long-term renewal of the popular Liberty Lunch music venue's lease. Additionally, funding for CETA job development services was awarded to two community-based non-profit agencies, despite another applicant fully meeting all proposal specifications.

SPECIAL PRESENTATION Mayor McClellan announced that there would be a special presentation made by MR. LAWRENCE SMITH. Councilmember Snell stated that Mr. Smith had been a patient récently at Brackenridge Hospital, and was so impressed by the nursing care he received in the Intensive Care Unit and on the fifth floor, that he thought it would be in order to present the nurses with a special citation. Councilmember Snell said that because we hear so many negative things about the hospital, he thought it was a beautiful gesture on the part of Mr. Smith, and he encouraged him to come to the Council Chamber for the presentation. Then, Mr. Smith told the Council he had brain surgery and was in the hospital for fifteen days. He said he had been hesitant to go to Brackenridge because of the adverse publicity. After he was out of surgery, he said he had a chance to really observe the people. He watched the close workings of the nurses in Intensive Care and was impressed with the harmony with which they worked. when he was recuperating as a patient on the fifth floor he noted the nurses efficiency and the willingness with which they worked. He asked Mrs. Ethel Hummel, Supervisor of Intensive Care, and fifth floor nurses Ms. Sylvia Tarver, Ms. Mary Ann Thomas, and Ms. Beverly Thompson to join him at the podium. 57 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 29, 1977 Two plaques were presented to the nurses, by Mr. Smith. They were inscribed with the words, "My grateful thanks to (Intensive Care Unit/Fifth Floor) for all that you have done."

Mayor McClellan commented on the kindness of Mr. Smith's presentation and the good nursing care extended to patients.

September 29, 1977 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS: BOND SALE Mayor McClellan stated that the City Council of the City of Austin had advertised that it would receive sealed bids until 10:30 a.m., C.D.T., this day for the City of Austin, Texas, $55,000,000 Utility System Revenue Bonds, Series 2; and $18,345,000 General Obligation Bonds, Various Purpose. She inquired about the assembly of the bids and if all bids had been received and whether there were any others either through the mail, from members of the Council, the City Clerk, the Finance Administrator, or anyone present in the Council Chamber. She announced that it was 10:30 a.m. and the time for receiving bids was closed. Mr. Norman Barker, Finance Administrator, then opened and read bids on $55,000,000 Utility System Bonds, Series 2 as per attached sheet. He stated two bids had been received, accompanied by good faith checks. Mr. Barker then opened and read bids on $18,345,000 General Obligation Bonds, Various Purpose as per attached sheet. He stated that five bids had been received, accompanied by good faith checks. Mayor McClellan referred the bids to Mr. Barker and Mr. Curtis Adrian, Austin's financial advisor with the First Southwest Company, and Mr. Claude Boothman, Austin's Bond Counsel, for verification. They left the room to confer. During the interim, before they re-entered the Council Chamber with verification of the bond sale, the City Council continued to hear, discuss and vote on agenda items. Mr. Barker, Mr. Adrian, and Mr. Boothman returned to the Council Chamber and were asked by Mayor McClellan if they had verified the bids. Mr. Barker said they had and recommended that award of bid for the $18,345,000 in General Obligation Bonds, Various Purposes, go to First National Bank in Dallas & Associates at an effective interest rate of 4.8030%. Mr. Barker also said they recommended that award of bid for the $55,000,000 Utility System Revenue Bonds, Series 2, to First Boston Corporation & Associates at an effective interest rate of 5.5382%. Mr. Adrian addressed Mayor McClellan and the Council, saying it is always a pleasure to report back to the Council and area clients when they have a good sale. It has been our good fortune through the years to not have to change it this time. Once again, he said, the City has received excellent bids. This further points up, among many other things that the City does, the need for constantly attempting to at least keep the ratings we have. We are constantly striving to improve the ratings, he continued. "We hope one of these days that we can maybe move one or two of the ratings up, but you do have excellent ratings. The Dow-Jones averagesaas of this week is 6.10, and the Dow-Jones averages 20 select bonds throughout the United States. Based on the revenue bonds bid today, there is a difference of 56 basis points. Each basis point is worth $120,149.00. This translated into dollars, comes to $6,800,000 on revenue bonds. I have had the pleasure of representing the City during 22 previous revenue bond sales, and let me say, this one today is among the very best. Now when we get over to the General Obligation bonds, we have even a brighter picture to show. The Dow Jones average again, at 6.10....these bonds, the best bid was 4.8030. This represents a difference of 1.30. Translating this into dollars is a savings of $3,284,000. Each basis point is worth $25,256.00. This sale had the greatest spread in savings to the City of Austin of the 22 sales, going back to 1960. Do I need to say more?" Mr. Adrian asked, "other than CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 29, 1977 congratulate the City, the Council and all parties concerned. I recommend, without hesitation that you do award the sale of both revenue and general obligation bonds to the lowest bidder." Mayor McClellan commented, "One, certainly we are tremendously pleased with those bids and the reputation that the City of Austin continues in the financial world. Two, this Council is certainly committed to maintain the financial integrity of this City and have been and will continue to take steps to do so, such as increasing our general fund ending balance as we did with the budget we just adopted. Number three, I want to compliment Mr. Adrian on the job he continues to do for the City of Austin, and also Mr. Barker, who we simply could not do without, and the rest of the staff. You all are terrific and we really appreciate the manner in which you handle our bond sales." Councilmember Trevino moved that the Council award the bid on the General Obligation Bonds, Various Purposes to First National Bank in Dallas & Associates at an effective rate of 4.8030%.

STEPHEN BROUGHER, 1977-78 Major Emphasis Chairman, Kiwanis Club of the University Area, appeared before Council to request authorization for the Kiwanis Club to carry out the project of placing small decals on City-owned parking meters saying "Lock your car - Take your keys." He said the decal would be two inches square and placed just to the right of the money chute. Mayor McClellan stated she was very much in favor of the idea, and asked Mr. Ternus, Director of Urban Tranportation, to state what concern the staff may have about the proposal. It Mr. Ternus told Council that there are already 8 messages on each meter, and he is concerned about adding another one. He also said that parking meters are traffic control devices, not vending devices, and that there would have to be a resolution passed to make them a vending device. He also said they receive innumerable requests to put signs on light posts, etc. His feeling was that they should not make an exception for one organization, even though he thought the idea was a worthy one. City Attorney Jerry Harris said that it would be unnecessary to ascertain vending machines versus traffic devices. Whether or not to put a decal on the traffic meters would be up to the City Council. would not be a legal question, but a policy agreement by the Council. City Manager Dan Davidson said there would be a problem with other organizations if the Kiwanis Club put their "K" on the decal. Mr. Brougher said it would not be necessary to identify the decal with their organization, and that their main concern is crime prevention. Mr. Ternus said that in light of these revelations, the Kiwanis Club should contact Chief of Police Dyson concerning the project. If he requests it, then the decals would not be the concern of the Department of Urban Transportation. Mr. Brougher stated he had already contacted Chief Dyson, and the Police Department is agreeable to the suggestion of the Kiwanis Club. Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council grant the request of the Kiwanis Club to place a decal on parking meters which will read "Lock your car Take your Keys;" and are to coordinate the project with the Police Department and Department of Urban Transportation and there be no advertising on the decal.

He stated that the subdivision will be served by City water and wastewater and will have fire protection from the proposed Angus Valley fire station which will go on line in a few years. Mr. Lillie recommended that the Council proceed with annexation of the subdivision. Councilmember Cooke indicated that he was concerned over the fact that the subdivision will not have adequate fire protection until the Angus Valley fire station is in operation and that current protection to the area has the worse response time for any area of the City. Deputy Fire Chief Leland Priest stated that it would be 18 months before the Angus Valley fire station was in service. He stated that current response time to the area was about 10 minutes.

He stated that City departments had expressed no problems with the proposed annexation. Mr. Lillie indicated, however, that the fire department's response time to the area was longer than recommended and that no fire station was scheduled for the area in the C.I.P. Mr. Priest stated the closest fire station to the area would be the proposed Rundberg fire station which would have a response time of 5 to 6 minutes. Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau indicated that she wanted to know what the fiscal responsibility of annexing the area would be for the City. Mr. Curtis Johnson, Director of the Water and Wastewater Department, indicated that there should be no problm with providing water service to the area.

Mr. Sherliff also questioned why the City decided to annex an additional portion of Mockingbird Lane when it was not in the original request made by Mr. Bill Bullard. Mr. Dan Davidson, City Manager stated that it was the policy of the City to not annex individual lots. Mr. Davidson suggested that Mr. Sherliff meet with Mr. Lillie and Mr. Johnson in order to answer any other questions that he may have. Mr. Sherliff indicated that if his area was to be annexed, he wanted the benefit of full City services for that area. The Council had before it consideration of annexation of the following: C. 325.20 acres of land out of the James Rogers Survey. (Millwood Section One Phase One, plus unplatted landCase No. C7a-76-010.) Mr. Lillie stated that in regard to annexation item c., City departments presented no objections to annexation.

CETA JOB DEVELOPMENT SERVICES The Council had before it consideration of the recommendations of the Manpower Advisory Planning Council for CETA job development services. Mr. Andy Ramirez, Director of the Human Resources Department, told the Council that whatever is taken would decide who the City will contract with in terms of the Urban Job Development Program. He indicated that the agencies that responded to the contract invitation were the Urban League, the Austin Women's Center, SER Jobs For Progress and the Texas Employment Commission. Of the four, the response from the Texas Employment Commission (TEC) was the only one which conformed with all of the specifications of the request for proposal. Mr. Ramirez pointed out that the other applications either exceeded the scope of the project or the 15% administrative cost specified in the contract. He stated that it was the recommendation of the Manpower Advisory Planning Council that all of the proposers be brought before the Council and that request be made to increase the level of funding in order to provide funding for all entities. Mr. Ramirez stated, however, that this would be impossible in that the entre plan would have to be changed. Motion Councilmember Trevino moved that the Council adopt a resolution contracting for fiscal year 1977-78 with the Austin Women's Center and the SER Jobs For Progress, Inc. and also amending the existing contract with SER so as to continue until staff, Women's Center and SER can negotiate mutually agreeable contracts for CETA Title I, Job Development Services in the following amount: SER, $76,000; Women's Center $34,000. Councilmember Goodman asked if the SER request for proposal could be brought within the required specifications. MR. ARTHUR NAVARRO, representing SER, stated that his organization disagreed with the staff as to the requirements for project scope and administrative cost. In lieu of this, Councilmember Snell felt that the Council should go back and review all of the proposals. Councilmember Trevino indicated that SER was willing to conform to the proposal specification requirements but that they had expected a more comprehensive program. Councilmember Goodman stated that SER haddreceived no response from the Council as to what to do in order to meet the proposal requirements. regard to the Urban League, Mr. Ramirez stated that the City was currently contracting with the organization for a little over $24,000 for Child Development activities. This contract, however, was for non-CETA eligible recipients. He stated that there was also a contract through HCD funding which totaled to $70,000. In MS. LINDA MOORE, Executive Director for the Austin Urban League, told the Council that the organization had submitted proposals about 2 months ago based on the RFP (Requirements For Proposals) released through the Manpower Training Division Office. She stated that City staff had recommended that the Urban League proposal be modified to come in line with the 15% administrative cost specification. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 29, 1977 Substitute Motion Councilmember Snell moved that the Council fund the Urban League, SER and the Women's Center, and Councilmember Mullen seconded the motion. Mr. Ramirez stated that his recommendation was to fund the Texas Employment Commission and either the Austin Women's Center or the Austin area Urban League. He also recommended that whatever contractors are decided upon by the Council, that negotiations be worked out with them within the scope of the RFP. MR. JOHN GREER, representing TEC, stated they were the only bidder that met specifications and they were well able and capable of performing the contract. Roll Call on Substitute Motion Councilmembers Mullen, Snell Councilmember Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmember Ayes: Noes: Absent: Councilmember Cooke Goodman, Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau Roll Call on Original Motion Roll call on the original motion, authorizing contracts with Austin Women's Center and SER, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmember Goodman, Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau, Councilmembers Noes: Mullen, Trevino, Mayor McClellan Councilmember Snell Absent: Councilmember Cooke Statements weremate regarding the awarding of the contracts by Mrs. Moore, Father Joe Znotas and Freddie Dixon, President of the Urban League. OPTIONAL DATES FOR BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS MRS. GEORGENE WILSON, appeared before Council to discuss changing of all Boards and Commissions dates and times of meeting to "optional." Ms. Wilson stated she had been appointed to the Solicitation Board, and was very pleased to accept, then discovered the meeting time is set for 1:30 p.m. the first Tuesday of the month. She teaches school and cannot attend meetings at that time of day. She requested the Council consider "optional" times for meeting so that employed people can be members of boards and commissions. Mayor McClellan asked City Attorney Jerry Harris if the Charter of the Soliciation Board sets the date. He replied that it does. Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau said she thought Ms. Wilson had brought up a good point, but that it takes staff members to attend meetings and if they are in the evening, then the staff would have to be paid overtime. Councilmember Snell said he did not think people who could not attend a meeting should be penalized. Mayor McClellan commented she would like to see flexibility. After further discussion concerning times of meetings, it was ascertained there really are no Charter regulations and Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau said, "Let's let the boards and commissions handle their own setting of meeting times." Councilmember Mullen stated he thought there should be a unanimous vote of the Board to make a change. Mayor McClellan suggested Ms. Wilson go to the Soliciation Board members, present her plight, and ask their cooperation. The Mayor thanked Ms. Wilson for attending the meeting. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS. September 29, 1977 LIBERTY LUNCH The Council had before it a resolution to authorize extension of the lease agreement to Liberty Lunch and Wagonyard. MRS. LLOYD of the Economy Engraving Company, located next door to Liberty Lunch, appeared to ask if something could be done about the trash, litter and parking situation created by Liberty Lunch. She said their activities were making her business site a disaster area and pleaded with the Council to grant her some form of relief. After some discussion, Mrs. Lloyd was assured by Councilmembers that the tenure of Liberty Lunch would meet its demise no longer than a year and a half from now. Mrs. Lloyd reminded the City that Liberty Lunch at one time was tapping into City lines for its electric supply. Motion Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council not renew the lease. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Mullen Substitute Motion Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council honor the 90-day release clause, with a friendly amendment by Mayor McClellan to look into what can be done to alleviate Mrs. Lloyd's dilemma, andethatiche Counndadadopt a resolution so stating. The motion, secondddbby Comcilmember Trevino, carried by the following vote: Snell Ayes: Councilmember Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Goodman, Noes: Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau, Councilmember Mullen Absent: Councilmember Cooke BULL CREEK LATERAL A WASTEWATER INTERCEPTOR The Council had before it for consideration approving construction of a portion of Bull Creek Lateral A Wastewater Interceptor by the owner of Great Hills Subdivision with City participation in oversize cost in accorance with subdivision policies. (Estimated tosal cost $560,000; estimated City participation $384,000) City Manager Davidson stated that normally the Planning Commission had the authority to approve this kind of project so that the developer could proceed. After project completion, it would then be brought to the Council to authorize payment of the cost difference portion of the contract. However, due to questions raised about major sewer extensions, he asked that the project be brought to the Council before the project proceeded. Councilmember Goodman asked that since the project was authorized in the CIP for 1980-81 for construction of the line, would the Planning Commission still be authorized to proceed as outlined by the City Manager. Mr. Davidson said "Yes," because no City contract was involved to construct the line. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 29, 1977 Curtis Johnson, Director, Water and Wastewater Department, stated that the subdivision in question was adjacent to existing water and wastewater service, with a line in a smaller tributary of the Bull Creek watershed. Normally, his Department would instruct the subdivider's engineer to size the line which would handle anticipated flows. Mr. Johnson reviewed the area under consideration by referring to a map. The Planning Department's population projection for Sections I and III and part of Section II through the year 1995 was 31,000 people. Based on preliminary observations approximately a 30" line would be required to service those areas. After detailed engineering was complete, the size of the line could vary slightly depending upon the slope of the line at any point in question. Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau asked Mr. Johnson what the slope was of the line going through The Great Hills subdivision. Mr. Johnson said that he did not have that information at hand. The slope would determine the size of the line. In response to Councilmember Goodman's question, Mr. Johnson said that the sizing of the line through the subdivision at this stage without detailed plans was based on information taken off topographical maps. It was good basic information, but was not detailed enough to make precise sizings of lines. Field surveying would have to be completed before precise slopes would be known. In response to Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau's question as to why the City paid for the difference between an 8" line and a larger line, Mr. Johnson said it was covered under the City's participation policies for subdivisions established in 1975 by the Council. He agreed that an 8" line would handle most subdivisions. Mr. Johnson indicated that the decision for a water line needed to be made now. He stated that if the City was going to provide service to the proposed subdivision area, now would be the best time to lay the foundations for that service. Councilmember Goodman asked if fiscal information could be made available to support the proposed main. City Manager Davidson indicated that he would be willing to develop such information to present to the Council. In regard to questions on details, Mr. Davidson indicated that an engineer could not be retained prior to Council approval of the main; therefore, there were no specific details to be presented. Mr. Johnson pointed out that any time a water main exceeds 8" in diameter, the City pays for the oversize cost of the main. Mr. Davidson felt that it would not be a good idea to alter City water main policy midway through negotiations with the developer. Motion Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau moved that the Council adopt a resolution approving construction of a portion of Bull Creek Lateral A Wastewater Interceptor by the owner of Great Hills Subdivision with City participation in oversize cost in accordance with subdivision policies. Mayor McClellan seconded the motion. Substitute Motion Councilmember Goodman moved that the Counicl postpone the matter for one week to allow time to review the situation. Councilmember Trevino seconded the motion. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 29, 1977 MR. BILL COTTON told the Council that a delay of one week would hurt the project. Mr. Cotton is the developer of the subdivision project. Councilmember Mullen felt that Mr. Cotton should pay for the cost of installing a 12" main in the area. Roll Call on Substitute Motion Failed Roll Call on Councilmember Goodman's substitute motion, failed to carry by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Goodman, Snell, Trevino Noes: Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau, Councilmember Mullen, Mayor McClellan Absent: Councilmember Cooke MR. JOE RIDDELL told the Council that the City staff report only considered two options and that there were more than two options in relation to the proposal. He stated that the size of the proposed line was determined by a projected 1995 population estimate. Mr. Riddell indicated that time may prove that more than the proposed line is required for the area. He said that this would necessitate having to spend more money in the future to upgrade the system. Mr. Riddell told the Council that they were making a decision that had far-reaching financial implications that needed to be evaluated. Mr. Davidson stated that specifications for the line could be worked out by the engineer once the project is approved. Mr. Riddell stated that it needed to be decided how much of the area would be served by gravity sewer and also how far into Williamson County the line would extend. He also pointed out that the subdivision was not within the City's preferred growth corridor. Mr. Homer Reed, Deputy City Manager, told the Council that reports indicated that the proposed area was developing and would continue to develop with or without the sewer main. He stated that a sewer main would eliminate septic tanks and pollution of creeks in the area. Mr. Reed pointed out that the lateral A line would defer the need for a line up the major portion of Bull Creek for a number of years. Roll Call on Original Motion Roll Call on Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau's original motion, Mayor McClellan's second, showed the following vote: Ayes: Mayor McClellan, Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau, Councilmembers Noes: Mullen, Snell Councilmembers Goodman, Trevino Absent: Councilmember Cooke CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 29, 1977 WILLIAMSON COUNTY MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 1 The Council had before it for consideration the granting of preliminary approval of the terms and conditions of the Williamson County Municipal Utility District No. 1, $2,170,000 Waterworks and Sewer System Combination Unlimited Tax and Revenue Bonds, Series 1977 and 1978. Mr. Norman Barker, Finance Administrator, told the Council that the MUD was within the extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) of Austin. He stated that they were dealing with a contractual matter and that the City must approve the improvements and billing practices of the MUD in order to safeguard the City in the event that the particular ETJ area is annexed into the City of Austin. Mr. Barker indicated that the City of Austin must approve bids for improvements made by the MUD. Money raised for improvements to the MUD must be utilized on improvements. Mr. Barker pointed out that any debts incurred by the MUD for improvements would become City debts if the MUD is annexed into the City. He stated that they have reviewed the official notice of sale of the MUD and that the notice did meet the provisions specified by the City of Austin. Councilmember Goodman asked what the bonded indebtedness for the MUD was. Mr. Barker indicated that the MUD has issued one series of debt so far but that he was unaware of what the ultimate amount of bonded indebtedness was. Mr. Barker stated that the proposed sale would occur on November 3, 1977, MR. BERT HOOPER, attorney representing the MUD, told the Council that the current bonded indebtedness for the MUD was about $5.15 million. Mr. Hooper stated that before the bonds can be issued, the MUD must make application to the Texas Department of Water Resources. This agency determines if the MUD bond program is feasible both economically and practically and from an engineering standpoint. The bond program is not approved unless the Department achieves favorable findings on all of these points. Mr. Hooper stated that the Department of Water Resources will not be able, however, to complete its work until the City of Austin has indicated its own approval of the bonds. Motion Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council adopt a resolution granting preliminary approval of the MUD bond program. The motion was seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau. was. Councilmember Goodman asked what the staff recommendation on the proposal Mr. Davidson indicated that the staff recommended approval of the proposal because examination of the items for which the funds will be used showed that they were in accordance with the City Council's approved ofnthe contract. MR. JOE RIDDELL told the Council that approval of the bond issue would increase future financial burdens to the City of Austin. He stated that by allowing the MUD to run up a debt, the City was making it harder to pay off the money from annexing. Mr. Riddell cited a higher figure than Mr. Hooper for bonded indebtedness of the MUD which was about $7.42 million. He stated that this amount included the principle and the interest. Mr. Riddell pointed out that without annexing the area, the City would lose revenues. He recommended annexation of the area. Mr. Riddell stated that the MUD could reduce its own debts by increasing its tax rates. He suggested the MUD do this prior to annexation by the City.
