L. Hancock, Director of the Electric Utility Department, told the Council that the pump will be installed on the demineralizer at the Decker Power Plant. He stated that there has been a change in the environmental requirements on discharges. Acid is used in the de-mineralizer to neutralize effluence before it can be discharged into Lake Austin. Mr. Hancock indicated that it was necessary to pump the effluence and that there is an application - CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 26, 1978 for acid pumping. He stated that the current cast iron pump being used at the plant is not expected to last more than six months due to acidic corrosion. Mr. Hancock indicated that replacing the cast iron pump would require installing the new pump onto the present pump motor assembly. In response to a question from Councilmember Mullen, Mr. Hancock indicated that this was necessary as a requirement of the law. SELECTION OF SERVICES WALNUT CREEK DISTRICT PARK Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council adopt a resolution to approve the selection of professional services of Park and Recreation Planning Associates, Inc., for the master planning and design of initial improvement for a project for the Parks and Recreation Department. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM - WALNUT CREEK DISTRICT PARK (NORTH), MASTER DEVELOPMENT PLAN AND PHASE A IMPROVEMENTS, CIP No. 73/86-46. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Mullen, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Mullen, Snell, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Himmelblau Noes: None Absent: Mayor McClellan Councilmember Goodman asked if the contract was for the same firm which is currently handling the Southeast District Park project. Mr. Jack Robinson, Director of the Parks and Recreation Department, indicated that it was. Councilmember Goodman indicated that this was deviation from Council policy to rotate contracts around. Mr. Robinson indicated that all four of the companies that bid for the contract currently have contracts with the City. He stated that they felt that the company of Park and Recreation Planning Associates, Inc., had the most experience in this particular area of work. RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE SOCIAL POLICE ADVISORY COMMITTEE The Council had before it for consideration, adoption of the following documents recommended by the Social Policy Advisory Committee: 1. Social Policy 2. Roles and Responsibilities of the Social Policy Advisory Committee and the Human Services Review Feam. 3. Guidelines for Reviewing Grant Applications 4. "Contract Agency" Budget Process 5. Inventory Task Force Recommendations Councilmember Himmelblau stated that representatives of some of the social service agencies indicated they had not been furnished with enough material prior to the public heating held between the social services agencies, the Council, Austin Independent School District (A.I.S.D.) and the Travis County Commissioners Court. She stated that the agencies wanted more material and a rescheduling of the public hearing. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 26, 1978 Mr. Andy Ramirez, Director of the Human Resources Department, told the Council that any member of the social services agencies who requested material had the material mailed out to them. He stated that members of the social services agencies were present at all of the meetings. Mr. Ramirez pointed out that SPAC (Social Policy Advisory Committee) had voted not to have citizen input at the initial stages. Only when a policy was developed was citizen input allowed. He stated that what was drafted was a social services master plan. Mr. Ramirez stated that while the agencies were agreeable to the County resolution, they did not like the policy guidelines and the process for applying for funds. He stated that SPAC is recommending to the Council that this process be followed. In response to a question from Councilmember Cooke, Mr. Ramirez stated that SPAC had decided to not have citizen input at the initial stages due to a time element. He stated that the intent was also to have something to deliver to the public before asking for citizen input. Councilmenber Himmelblau felt the matter should be deferred until more input is received. Motion Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council adopt a resolution adopting the recommendations as presented by the Social Policy Advisory Committee; and also include the following statement of principle as a part of the motion: "The decision-making of the Social Policy Advisory Committee can be improved by the inclusion of persons who are directly responsible for providing human services to contracts with our government and agencies. Participation by community groups who are familiar with review of agency programs, will similarly benefit the SPAC as would the inclusion of service recipients and other citizens. Therefore, the Austin City Council requests the SPAC staff to develop proposals for the adoption, by the SPAC and its separate governing bodies, to include meaningful participation by citizens in the SPAC budget review process." The motion was seconded by Councilmember Goodman. Councilmember Himmelblau asked if the City would be the only funding source for implementation. Mr. Ramirez stated that the various governing bodies would all contribute staff towards implementation. Councilmember Snell made the following statement prior to roll call: "We only have one public hearing on the entire package after the Task Forces have met...we met at the school, administration building...and after we'd put everything together and held just one public hearing or work session, I don't see why we couldn't hold another public hearing for those people that... I don't know where its going to do any good but when we're working with people we have to try to get a clear understanding...if there's something they they don't understand then we should try to make them understand. If we don't, we're going to end up...we've got to make this work and the only way we can make it work is to get that cooperation and not always criticism. So I would like to see us holding those public hearings." : January 26, 1978 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Councilmember Goodman suggested that Mr. Ramirez set a date for when citizens could submit input. Councilmember Mullen felt that the other governing bodies involved in SPAC would not want to recontinue the hearings again. Friendly Amendment Councilmember Goodman made a friendly amendment to the motion that a date be included in which time the SPAC staff could develop proposals for adoption. Councilmember Goodman set this date for two weeks. Councilmember Mullen accepted the friendly amendment as part of his motion. Roll Call on Motion with Friendly Amendment Ayes: Councilmembers Snell, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Councilmembers Noes: Cooke, Goodman, Mullen Councilmember Himmelblau Absent: Mayor McClellan Councilmember Snell made the following statement during the roll call: "In all fairness to the groups that have worked so hard, I think we need to take a stand on this now and, even though I think some changes need to be made, I vote Yes for it." Councilmember Goodman made the following statement during roll call: "I feel the same way as Mr. Snell and I think that we will work on a much more cooperative basis with the social services agencies in the future and I hope that the staff does as well," Councilmember Himmelblau made the following statement during the roll call: "No! Mr. Mullen would like me to have some more hearings." Couicilmember Mullen made the following statement during roll call: "Absolutely Yes! I think it's extremely important that we stop kidding ourselves in giving money to the wrong spots. The money that people get for these type programs are to help people that are poor or in need, and not to spend a lot of money in administration and that's what this thing will start to move away. Is to get the money where it belongs, that's the people that get the use of it, that are in need. I definitely vote Yes!" Motion Later in the meeting, Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council allow Mr. John Galloway to speak for five minutes. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Cooken, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell, Mayor Pro Ten Trevino, Councilmember Cooke Noes: None Absent: Mayor McClellan MR. JOHN GALLOWAY told the Council that he was in support of a coordinated approach to addressing social needs and a cross jurisdictional coordination to establish guidelines for the various governmental entities in _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXASJanuary 26, 1978 meeting identifiable social needs. He stated that he was also in support of developing uniform ground rules for the public use of existing program dollars, development of planning regulations to govern the submission and awarding of grants or funding proposals and to establish a meaningful and truly competent provision of technical assistance to service providers. Mr. Galloway stated that it has always been difficult to evaluate the impact of all the millions of dollars spent on social programs. Mr. Galloway asked that the Council delay action on the proposals made by the SPAC and submit the proposals to the public. He stated that the document before the Council lacked citizen input and that it was merely a staff document. He recommended that the Council go back and look at the original proposalamade by the Texas Municipal League which called for a two-phase approach to the project. The first phase would call for the distribution of a draft report for public comment, two policy advisory committee public hearings and then the forwarding of the recommendations to the various governing bodies for action. Councilmember Mullen indicated that he liked the idea of acquiring written comments from the agencies themselves. Motion Died for Lack of a Second Councilmember Mullen moved that the staff be instructed to send a copy of the policies to all the agencies and their written comments be sent to the Council. The motion died for lack of a second. Motion Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council allow Ms. Susan Raleigh to speak for two minutes. The motion, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmember Snell, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Mullen Noes: None Absent: Mayor McClellan Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmember Himmelblau MS. SUSAN RALEIGH, representing the Austin Area Human Services Association, told the Council that she wanted to make sure that the agencies and the consumers have a chance to have input into the policy before it is finally implemented. She stated that this has not been clear up until now. Ms. Raleigh asked why the recommendations of SPAC were adopted if the item is now being referred back to staff. Councilmember Goodman pointed out that it was the recommendation of the three Councilmembers who also belong to SPAC that the recommendations be adopted. : ADMISSION POLICY - BRACKENRIDGE HOSPITAL Councilmember Himmelblau discussed the Brackenridge Hospital Admission Policy for out-of-county patients. She said there is nothing new in the policy which was passed in 1972 but is asking Council to pass a re-affirmation of their policy in support of the Brackenridge Hospital staff who have been under criticism. Councilmember Goodman wanted to know what the out-of-county occupancy rate is for John Sealy Hospital in Galveston. After further dis- _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 26, 1978 cussion between Councilmembers and Mr. Homer Reed, Deputy City Manager, Council decided to delay this discussion for a vote of affirmation until next week. They asked that information concerning the policy for John Sealy Hospital be given to Council. ZONING INFORMATION TO CITIZENS Councilmember Mullen told Council he has a proposal for providing zoning information to interested citizens, but that he wanted to postpone discussion until next week. His idea, he said, is to put a City telephone number to call for zoning information underneath the zoning map of the City, which is included with classified ads under homes for sale. ZONING HEARINGS Mayor Pro Tem Trevino announced that the Council would hear zoning cases scheduled for 10:00a.m. Pursuant to published notice thereof, the following zoning cases were publicly heard: MEDICAL PARKWAY ASSOCIATION By Irvin Hamilton C14-77-167 4008 Medical Parkway From "B" Residence lst Height and Area To "GR" General Retail 1st Height and Area RECOMMENDED is amended by the Planning Commission Councilmember Cooke moved that the Council grant "GR" General Retail, lst Height and Area District, as recommended as amended by the Planning Commission.

Councilmember Himmelblau wondered about buffering the interior residential neighborhood if this was granted "LR" Local Retail rather than the staff recommendation of "0" Office. MR. DON BIRD, representing the owner, stated the unsightly building already existing on the site will be demolished. The three lots will be put to a unified use with a new Sigmor-Shamrock shopping center. Councilmember Himmelblau said she did not think this would be aggood buffer for the neighborhood. Mr. Bird explained that the lot was only 45 feet deep and unusable for residential, but that there will be fencing erected. MR. M. E. JOHNSON commented from the audience that the building he planned to erect would be much better for the neighborhood than the "eye-sore" that presently exists. Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council grant "LR" Local Retail, 1st Height and Area District, as recommended (as amended) by the Planning Commission. The motion, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Meklenblänelküllen, Snell.

Goode Survey, Travis County, Texas. (Oak Forest Section 4, Oak Forest School Subdivision and unplatted land) Case C7a-77-011 (Requested by owner.) Mr. Lillie, Director of Planning, described through the use of slides the land involved in the annexation. He stated that fire protection at this point would be marginal, but when the proposed station on Duval Road is built, the protection will be adequate. The Planning Commission recommended the City proceed with annexation, he said. Councilmember Himmelblau asked, "Why do we annex school sites? We receive no taxes from then..." Mr. Lillie answered that often the school district participates in annexation requeste along with land that is being developed around then rather than leave them outside the City limits. We do have utilities in the streets and there are sidewalk programs that relate to safe school routes. The City sewer service will be available to the school. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 26, 1978 Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council close the public hearing and instruct the City Attorney to bring back the proper ordinance annexing 52.04 acres of land out of the James D. Goode Survey, Travis County, Texas. (Oak Forest Section 4, Oak Forest School Subdivision and unplatted land.) The motion, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino Noes: None Absent: Mayor McClellan Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmember Snell Mayor Pro Tem Trevino opened the public hearing scheduled for 11:00 a.m. to consider annexation of and directing the administration to institute annexation proceedings to annex the following: 15.97 acres of land out of the William Cannon League, Travis County, Texas. (Leon Griffin Resubdivision, and 0. H. Pool Subdivision Section Two) Case 78-77-010 (15.38 acres requested by owner, 0.59 acres initiated by City) Mr. Lillie, Director of Planning, described through use of slides, the land involved in annexation. He said utilities are available and all of the departments have reviewed the request and find that facilities and services can be made available to this tract. Staff and Planning Commission concur that this area should be annexed. MRS. DELORES GRIFFIN, co-owner of the land in question, said they plan to build duplexes on four lots facing South First Street and use then for income property. She said they are desirous of having City fire and police protection so she requested annexation of the acreage. Councilmanber Mullen asked how much tax revenue such an annexation would bring to the City. Mr. Lillie replied he does not have that information, but Mr. Klitgaard would be able to obtain it. Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council close the public hearing and instruct the City Attorney to bring back the propertordinance annexing 15.97 acres of land out of the William Cannon League, Travis County, Texas, (Leon Griffin subdivision and O. H. Pool Subdivision Section Two.) The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Himmelblau, Snell, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino Noes: Councilmember Mullen Absent: Mayor McClellan Councilmember Mullen stated with his vote: "I like to in the future know how much taxes an area will bring in before we vote on it. ... the purpose of my "No" is because in the future I would like them to have that information." Mr. Lillie said, "If we can get it, yes, sir." _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 26, 1978 Councilmember Cooke stated: "I've seen, regarding annexation, back-up material that we've been provided. I would like to see a couple of things that have been provided in the past that wasn't provided today and that is the brief comments of each staff department that reviews it, and I do concur with Mr. Mullen that we ought to see, if at all possible, taxation income we might derive and I think the staff report will give us some indication and will address the services in that area and what it will cost." Councilmember Goodman said he concurs completely. He feels there will be no wasted effort in providing such information since the City will have to know it anyway. Ms. Griffin stated from the audience that taxes on the acreage are about $470.00 and taxes on the lots are about $560.00. Mr. Mullen told her he did not want to make her the one "we turn the corner on, I just wanted to vote "No," that's why I didn't try to convince the rest of the Council to go that route." GOVERNMENT REDUCTION LEAGUE MR. TERKY PARKER, representing Government Reduction League, appeared before Council to discuss the removal of certain laws. He said he had some ordinances compiled for Councilmember Mullen and is waiting for some model ordinances from other cities. He said the deadline for re-codification is July 29, 1979 and hopes laws will be reduced and not re-numbered. INDEPENDENT HOUSING FOR THE MULTIPLE HANDICAPPED Councilmember Snell introduced an idea for an Independent Housing Program for the Multiple Handicapped. He said during a recent trip to Washington, he was able to attend a workshop based on aid to the bandicapped and elderly by means of housing for them. He said he thought it would be good for Austin to look into this. He said that with the help of the Austin Housing Authority and Urban Renewal he has been able to compils, information. Mr. Snell asked Council to view a presentation given by CHARLIE SCHNABEL of the Texas Rehabilitation Commission which shows what is already being accomplished for the multiple handicapped. Mr. Snell commented that the general idea is to move the handicapped away from the institution in order to let then have a normal living. At this point Mr. Schnabel showed a film depicting how the mobility impaired can function and live their own lives with work and life qutside of an institution. Mr. Schnabel then told Council that the Texas Rehabilitation Commission is trying to develop a partnership with others besides state agencies and wants to take Austin on as a partner with them in their efforts to house the multiple handicapped. He continued that there is a critical need to help the people be partially productive and help them to live independantly. Councilmember Snell said that he is asking Council "to give directions to the Austin Housing Anthority and the Urban Renewal Agency to work together to go out and find the type of housing we are looking for, purchase and renovate." =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 26, 1978 Councilmember Cooke asked, "Are we at this time obligating budgetary consideration that heretofore we haven't looked at. ...if committing Urban Renewal funds, maybe we have given them the contractual obligation before...for other matters and now we're saying our intent is to look at this particular concept as possible funding for it without funding it, we're putting them in a hardship." Mr. Andy Ramirez, Director of Human Resources, stated: "What we're looking at is taking approximately $40,000 out of the HCD Contingency Fund for this purpose. We have met with Housing Authority and the Urban Renewal and Mr. Schnabel and trying to work out how best to arrange that. There are several options we are looking at when we do come back with an appropriations ordinance. We will have the details of how much the exact amount of money will be as well as how that particular money will be handled, whether it will be handled through the Housing Authority, will be a direct grant to the Housing Authority or whether the City will maintain ownership and only contract with the Texas Rehab for the rehabilitation and with Housing Authority and/or Urban Renewal for the maintenance and upkeep of the property." Councilmember Cooke noted that in his presentation Mr. Schnabel had indicated South Austin as the place to accomplish the proposed task. Mr. Snell replied that they are not just holding for South Austin, but it had been mentioned because that is where the deaf community is. But, continued Councilmember Snell, "other agencies might contract where we could locate a house somewhere else." Mr. Cooke commented he would like the downtown community considered if that would be feasible. Councilmember Snell said he would go along with that. Mr. Homer Reed, Deputy City Manager, said, "Council's action might simply be to instruct staff to come back with the necessary appropriation ordinance for your consideration next week." Mr. Ramirez asked them to make it in two weeks. Councilmember Snell moved that the Council instruct the City Manager to come back with the necessary appropriation ordinance for consideration in two weeks.
