LEASE AGREEMENT WITH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE The Council had before it for consideration a lease agreement with the Austin Chamber of Commerce. Councilmember Goodman stated that the City Manager has been negotiating with the Chamber of Commerce concerning the revision of their lease. He said he thinks it is an excellent lease, with provisions the City Manager has added to their previous lease which, in his opinion, makes for a better partnership between the City of Austin and the Chamber. Motion Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council adopt a resolution to amend the lease agreement with the Austin Chamber of Commerce providing for expansion of office facilities on land leased to the Chamber since 1958. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Cooke. Mayor Pro Tem Trevino said that some day theCity needs to seriously consider and approve the construction of a convention center. He said that a bond election will be coming up soon and he hopes the convention center will be a part of it. He questioned if the request of the Chamber is granted, (and he has no philosophical differences to it) and then the voters authorize a convention center, would the expansion of the facility for the Chamber effect the area where the convention center would be constructed. City Manager Davidson answered Mayor Pro Tem Trevino by stating that the City has no plans for such a facility, even though a number of locations have been discussed. He has assumed that if the Council decides to propose a civic _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 20, 1978 center expansion at this location, that a site could be selected to honor the current location of the Chamber of Commerce building plus the recommended expansion. In addition to planning for adequate parking, for all the facilities, he feels that some of the planning under way now may result in a recommendation that the civic center may be located at another location either north or south of Town Lake, adjacent to some private enterprise development that may be visualized either as a hotel, shopping complexes, office buildings, etc. Mr. Davidson said that even if this becomes the site of an expanded civic center, he thinks the City should design it so it would not be necessary to remove the Chamber of Commerce's present building or the proposed expansion on today's agenda. Mayor Pro Tem Trevino said he wanted the Council and the public to understand that if, on a future date, the City wants to build a civic facility near the site of the Chamber of Commerce, the expansion being discussed today will not encroach on any plans for that civic building. The Mayor commented that she thinks one would enhance the other. Councilmember Goodman thought that the City Manager had answered the question. Councilmember Cooke interjected the El Paso Chamber of Commerce and convention center are integrated. Mayor Pro Tem Trevino told Council, "I just hope we don't make the same mistakes that we did with the laundry, and we have been advised of one thing and then two years later come back and we find out that things change. That's why I wanted at least on record tonight that we are being told by staff that we will not have any kind of conflict in the next few years. And if you are saying to us, City Manager, that there will be no problem to accomodating both the Chamber and an additional facility, of that nature...then that's it." Friendly Amendment Councilmember Mullen offered a friendly amendment that the insurance policy on the building be raised every five years to keep up with inflation. Councilmember Goodman accepted the friendly amendment. Roll Call on Motion with Friendly Amendment Ayes: Councilmembers Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman Noes: None At the time of roll call, Councilmember Goodman expressed his thanks to the City Manager for negotiating what he thinks is an excellent agreement. Recently, he said, economic development has become very fashionable, but he thinks the Chamber has, for years, contributed to the economic development also. MS. DOROTHY ROWLAND, President, Chamber of Commerce, expressed the Chamber's deep gratitude to the Council for the approval of their request to expand their existing office facility. She said this indicates the continuing cooperation of the City of Austin, the Chamber of Commerce and the Austin Jaycees in working to develop an even finer community. She said that this month the Austin Chamber of Commerce begins its 101st year of service to the people of this area. Ms. Rowland told the Council that she can assure them the officers and board and more than 2,000 active volunteers will do everything possible to be an asset to this City. She particularly expressed the Chamber's gratitude for the assistance that Robert Davis gave them in preparing the lease. = CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS April 20、1978 CITIZEN COMMUNICATION CANCELLED MR. GEORGE A. HUMPHREY, Chairman, Nuclear is Poison in Texas, had requested to appear to express opposition to the South Texas Project. He did not appear to speak. BALL PARK LIGHTING AT GARRISON PARK MR. WALTER L. LANCASTER, President, South Austin Optimist Club, appeared before Council to request their help in lighting the ball park at Garrison Park. He told Council that it will cost $94,0000 to light the complex where they hold Little League and Babe Ruth ball games..both baseball and football. He said that rather than ask the City for the money, they would furnish the poles and fixtures, if the City power department will set them up. At present, Mr. Lancaster said they have programs for 2,000 kids, including a program for the handicapped. They want to light the ball park so they can stagger the games and accomodate more children and adults. Mayor McClellan expressed her appreciation for all that South Austin Optimist Club does to further sports among children. She said their request for help in installing only is different from their original request. Mr. Davidson, City Manager, pointed out he had told several members that the request differs from City policy, which is to provide free utilities and land. To do something different would call for an amendment to the budget. He told Mr. Lancaster that he is very much in favor of the South Austin Optimist Club program as he has been a director on two similar boards. He pointed out that he wanted Council to be aware of City policy. In answer to the Mayor's question as to what the budget impact would be, Mr. Davidson said that this is a unique request and therefore, there is no fiscal statement. Mayor McClellan requested Mr. Davidson to bring back a report to Council concerning the fiscal impact if the City were to install (not purchase) lighting equipment for the baseball field at Garrison Park. Mr. Davidson said he would do so, and also bring in a fiscal statement as to what other parks will ask for if this is granted to Garrison Park, so that the figure can be included in the budget, if Council grants City assistance. Mr. Lancaster asked if this information can be obtained soon, as he has a commitment on a bid in two weeks for the equipment. Mayor McClellan answered that this would be done by April 27, 1978, at 9:00 a.m. Councilmember Mullen wanted it on record that Mr. Davidson has Council's approval to give them the report late, since there was not enough time to prepare it before the printing of next week's agenda and accompanying information packet. POOR BOY ARTS AND CRAFTS FAIR Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council approve the request from MR. BILL RHOADES, Art Fair Chairman, Northwest Sertoma Club, to use Auditorium Shores for the 15th Semi-Annual Poor Boy Arts and Crafts Fair, April 29 and 30, 1978. The motion, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, carried by the following vote: こ こ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 20, 1978 Ayes: Councilmembers Mullen, Snell, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Mayor Noes: McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Himmelblau None Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmember Goodman REQUEST TO WITHDRAW ZONING CASE MR. TOM CURTIS, attorney for Jack and Lucille Kelly, appeared before Council to request withdrawal of Zoning Case No. C14-75-114. He said this case was originally filed for "B" Residence, which would have permitted 8 units. At the Planning Commission meeting it was reduced to "BB" Residence which would be a four-plex; therefore, Mr. Curtis said he is requesting a withdrawal on behalf of his clients. Motion Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council grant withdrawal of Zoning Case No. C14-75-114. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Cooke. MS. DOROTHY RICHTER appeared before Council, not to ask that the withdrawal request be denied, but to point out what she believed to be problematic concerning zoning procedures. She said this case was originally filed in November, 1975, and has been postponed several times. Since the City has born the expense of obtaining the tax plat, the file from the Tax Office, and notification of the citizens, and the neighborhood has had to go through the energy and expense of gathering petitions, she wondered if something can be done to require a time limit for postponement. She also wondered if there could be a deadline for withdrawal since neighbors and citizens appear at a Council meeting to hear a case and then it is withdrawn. She feels this is an added expense to the City and an imposition on the citizens. Her third point was that there are not any indications on a zoning map that there has ever been any activity concerning a piece of land. She feels that "withdrawal" should be entered on the map where and when one occurs. Mayor McClellan told Mrs. Richter that her points have been noted and Mr. Harris, City Attorney, and Mr. Lillie, Director of Planning, will get together and discuss her suggestions. Roll Call on Motion to Withdraw Ayes: Councilmember Snell, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Himmelblau, Mullen Noes: None Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmember Goodman ZONINGS REFERRED BACK TO PLANNING COMMISSION MR. R. CLARKE HEIDRICK, JR., attorney for Thomas T. Smith, appeared before Council requesting to withdraw Zoning Case No. C14-78-057, scheduled for April 27, 1978, zoning hearings. Mayor McClellan said that she understood that rather than withdrawal, it is requested that this case be referred back to the Planning Commission. Mr. Lillie concurred. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 20, 1978 Mayor Pro Tem Trevino moved that the Council refer Zoning Case No. C14-78-057 back to the Planning Commission. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Himmelblau, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Noes: Cooke, Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell None Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmember Goodman MR. TRAVIS R. PHILLIPS, attorney for Allen R. Rundell, appeared before Council to request withdrawal of Zoning Case No. C14-77-156, scheduled for April 27, 1978. Mr. Lillie informed Council that the withdrawal request creates some problem. If the request is granted, there is a certain wait time before a new application can be filed. There is a possibility of a Planned Unit Development being filed on the property and Mr. Lillie felt that appropriate action would be to either postpone indefinitely to allow the PUD to be filed, or to refer it back to the Planning Commission as a PUD application. Mr. Harris, City Attorney, said that is one way it can be handled. Or it can be set back to the beginning point to amend the application to cover the PUD and let it come back as an amended application. He said that this would avoid any withdrawal problems. Mr. Lillie said that neither the City, applicant, or neighborhood wants a withdrawal that would mean a wait time. He said_the_preference is to put it on hold and allow the PUD to be filed. Mayor Pro Tem Trevino asked if both the neighborhood and applicant wants this. Mr. Lillie referred to a memorandum from Mr. Hackert. He said they are interested in the low density project anticipated on the project, and a withdrawal or denial would not allow that to occur. Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council refer Zoning Case No. C14-77-156 back to the Planning Commission. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino Noes: None ZONING HEARING Mayor McClellan announced Council would hear the zoning case scheduled for hearing at 7:00p.m. Pursuant to published notice thereof, the following zoning case was publicly heard: MILDRED & ERNEST WALSTON By Tom Curtis C14-78-028 10226-10314 U.S. 183 From Interim "AA" Residence 1st Height and Area To "GR" General Retail 1st Height and Area RECOMMENDED by the Planning Commission = CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS April 20, 1978 Mr. Lillie told Council that this case came to them out of cycle because there was a notice problem and Council had set this as a separate public hearing date. Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council grant "GR" General Retail, 1st Height and Area District, as recommended by the Planning Commission. The motion, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Mayor McClellan Noes: None The Mayor announced that the change had been granted to "GR" General Retail, 1st Height and Area District, and the City Attorney was instructed to draw the necessary ordinance to cover. Mayor McClellan introduced the following ordinance as an emergency measure: AN ORDINANCE ORDERING A CHANGE IN USE AND HEIGHT AND AREA AND CHANGING THE USE AND HEIGHT AND AREA MAPS ACCOMPANYING CHAPTER 45 OF THE AUSTIN CITY CODE OF 1967 AS FOLLOWS: A 3-ACRE TRACT OF LAND, LOCALLY KNOWN AS 10226-10314 U.

(Mildred & Ernest Walston, C14-78-028) Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council waive the requirement for three readings, declare an emergency and finally pass the ordinance effective immediately. The motion, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Mayor McClellan Noes: None The Mayor announced that the ordinance had been finally passed as an emergency measure. OFFICE SPACE FOR HUMAN SERVICES DEPARTMENT Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council adopt a resolution to accept the bid for office space in the Littlefield Building for the Human Services Department. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Cooke, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmember Cooke Noes: None Councilmember Himmelblau had asked if this is for additional space over and above what the department is now using. Mr. Joe Morahan, Property Management Director, answered that this is space that will bring the department CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 20, 1978 together for the first time and that leases on property they now occupy will be terminated. CLASS RECOGNIZED Mayor McClellan recognized the Urban Politics class from Austin High as members of the audience in the Council Chamber. Their teacher is Mr. "Мас". Councilmember Snell commented he had spoken to the group recently and they showed great concern for urban politics. The Mayor concurred. She had talked to the group two days ago and said that Mr. Mackaluso had been her advisor when she was a student teacher. CASWELL HOUSE Council had before it for consideration a resolution to accept a grant in the amount of $40,000 from the Texas Historical Commission to assist in rehabilitation of the Caswell House. They were also considering the City Manager's report on the Caswell House. Motion Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the City offer the Caswell House for bids and see if private money would pick up the amount necessary for the match; if this falls through, the City could come back and take care of it themselves. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Cooke. Mayor Pro Tem Trevino asked if there would be a time period when, if there were no bids by that time, then the City would have to make a decision whether or not to pick it up themselves. Councilmember Himmelblau said she would ask staff what the time frame would be. Substitute Motion Councilmember Goodman made a substitute motion to authorize the City Manager to begin the process for advertising the sale of the Caswell House now; delay accepting the grant until we determine the saleability of the property; if no bidders, bidders, accept the grant and authorize the rehabilitation work to begin again. However, since there are only seven months before the final deadline for accepting the grant, we would not have ample time to complete the bid documents and award a contract by January 1, 1979. Councilmember Goodman asked Mrs. Himmelblau if her motion differed from this, which is suggestion No. 2 under the City Manager's report on the Caswell House. He thought the key difference is that it gives the Manager authorization to put certain wheels in motion so that the project can be kept on schedule. After discussion among the Councilmembers, it was decided that basically the motions are the same. Substitute Motion Withdrawn Councilmember Goodman withdrew his substitute motion. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 20, 1978 Councilmember Goodman said that if he had his preference, he would accept the City Manager's suggestion No. 1 to accept the grant and get on with it. He feels this would increase the saleability of the Caswell House. Discussion followed by Councilmembers, City Manager and Mr. Joe Morahan, Property Management Director, concerning the two proposals by the City Manager. Councilmember Mullen wondered about the wording, "we would not have ample time to complete the bid documents and award a contract by January 1, 1979." Mr. Morahan told Council he had written a memo concerning procedures rather hurriedly, and since then he had had time to investigate more thoroughly. He said, "I think we can begin advertising in mid-July and be opening bids probably in mid-August." Mr. Mullen said, "All I wanted was the record to show that we are not boxed in as a Council to something that says it couldn't be done and yet we're passing it. And now we have a clarification that says staff has changed their position and they say it can be done, so I'm ready to go with it." Mayor McClellan asked Mr. Thomas Knickerbocker of the Planning Department if there is any May 1 problem. He answered, "Yes, the original bid that was taken on the Caswell House restoration project was for the full six items that were required to stop deterioration. The Council awarded only two sections of that total bid. The contractor who is on the site now and who we had anticipated would continue to work with the acceptance of this grant is now willing and will be willing up unti May 1 to live with his 1977, July prices for the other options that were part of the original bid....until he leaves the site. Then he can't do that because he will be in San Antonio. If that occurs, in addition for the time required for the sale and disposition, we will also have to re-bid the remaining items." He said he was talking about an $80,000 Change Order. Councilmember Goodman asked, "Your recommendation to save us money would be to accept the grant now?" Mr. Knickerbocker replied, "I need to explain what happened. When the Council authorized the stop-deterioration, the plans were drawn, specifications made for what it took to do that. Because of the budget restrictions, these were bid out in a base bid and six alternates. The Council awarded the base bid and one alternate, relieving five more alternates, all of which this contractor represents the low bid. It was our anticipated activity that with the additional funds, which would cover the remaining five items that we would recommend change orders to include those items that were already bid back in July of 1977. And which this contractor is still willing to live with. He has notified us through the architect that after he leaves the site, he cannot guarantee those bids. And that is anticipated to be around the first of May." Councilmember Himmelblau said she was willing to take a chance on it because "we had quite a few people interested in this property several years ago, and I don't want to commit any more City funds at this time." The Mayor said, "I think ultimately you are going to be able to sell it at some point. The question is, at what point the City puts in how much." Councilmember Goodman commented that if the Council were to consider City Manager's suggestion number 1: "Accept the grant and authorize the matching funds for completion of the exterior work. This work would be completed in September, 1978. Authorize the City Manager to begin the process for advertising the Caswell House for disposition after October 1, 1978." the City would still have the option of transferring that $40,000 match to the private buyer assuming that develops. So those contingencies are also built into number 1 if we want to make that definite commitment at this time. CouncilCITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 20, 1978 member Cooke said, "Wouldn't we already be so far down the pike if he's talking about the contract is already on site at this time. We're talking about $80,000 for the other five additions. They are going to proceed with the construction and the other 40,000 in City dollars are going to be committed and that would happen relatively quick." Councilmember Goodman said they would be passed on in the sale and as he understands it, that part of the matching grant could be transferred. Mr. Davidson said, "You wouldn't have that as a requirement because the City would have already matched it and expended the funds... It can be transferred. I think what we would be talking about there is simply the part of the amount the individual bidder would bid for the property." In answer to Mr. Cooke's question about when bids could be considered by Council, Mr. Davidson said he thought August. Councilmember Mullen asked why the bidding procedure would take so long. Mr. Morahan replied that the schedule he quoted anticipates that this would be moved up to a high priority. What they would propose to do first would be to determine conditions of sale.."are we going to require the additional work done, or are we just going to turn it over to them and let it be protected with "H" Historic zoning, but unfinished. If we require the work to be done, are we going to provide our plans which are already drawn and approved for them as part of the deal and require them to do the work. Some of those basic conditions of sale have to be developed quickly, He said that they tentatively propose to have the conditions reviewed by the Historic Landmark Commission, hopefully on May 8 and the Planning Commission May 9. The City Charter requires that the Planning Commission approve any sale of land and that is about the earliest they can get the things together. Immediately thereafter the property would have to be appraised." Mr. Morahan projects at least two months will be needed to obtain a professional appraisal because this is a highly specialized property and this type of appraisal is "hard to come by." This process has to be completed before the City can take bids. While appraisal is going on there would be other things to do such as title examination, completion of survey, preparation of bid documents, etc. He said the state law has requirements about the number of times one can advertise, spacing, time for opening bids, etc. Councilmember Himmelblau asked about the appraisal the City had previously done on the property. Mr. Morahan told her that had been ten years ago and values have changed. Councilmember Goodman asked, "If that procedure is going to take a couple of months, then the current bid prices we have on the $80,000 worth of work..we're not going to make it by May 1 and that thing could end up costing a whole lot more money." Mr. Morahan said that is true, but it would be costing the new owner and not the City, if there is a new owner. Mr. Goodman said that this makes it less desirable as a property because it is going to have increased restoration costs, so he thought it was best to get the same things done by the same contractor at the prices he bid. He felt this would make a significant difference in the cost. Mr. Morahan said he agreed regarding the saleability. He thought the property would be received better by bidders if all the restoration work were completed. Councilmember Goodman stated, "We sold the Batts House without any difficulty whatsoever and there was a tremendous amount of restoration work needed there." Councilmember Cooke said he felt a potential bidder would be more interested in the facility rather than the condition of such. i CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Substitute Motion April 20, 1978 Councilmember Goodman made a substitute motion that the Council adopt a resolution adopting Option 1 on the City Manager's report. Mayor Pro Tem Trevino seconded the motion: "Accept the grant and authorize the matching funds for completion of the exterior work. This work would be completed in September, 1978. Authorize the City Manager to begin the process for advertising the Caswell House for disposition after October 1, 1978." (See Councilmember Goodman's clarifying statement during roll call.) Mayor Pro Tem Trevino commented that until this afternoon the had thought Option 2 would be the best, but after listening to Mr. Morahan and Mr. Knickerbocker, he thought Option 1 would save more money for the taxpayer. Councilmember Himmelblau said she wants to save the City money, too, but feels Mr. Knickerbocker wants to keep the house as a City property and she feels a negative attitude there. Mr. Davidson responded to Councilmember Himmelblau by "Simply point out that the City administration recommends the sale of this property at some point under whatever options the City Council selects. I think we have an obligation to respond to any inquiry for information from any member of the Council, and we have tried to do that in this case. We really don't care which option you select, but eventually we hope the City of Austin can sell this property." Ayes: Noes: Roll Call on Substitute Motion Councilmember Snell, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman Councilmembers Mullen, Himmelblau The following comments were made at the time of roll call: Councilmember Cooke: "Even though I made the second to the main motion, I think the case has been presented, and I vote 'Yes.'" Councilmember Goodman: "I'd like to say one thing in conjunction with.. I'd like to make a modification to the motion at this point. It's a clarification which I think we will all agree on. Specifically Option 1 says, 'Authorize the City Manager to begin the process for advertising the Caswell House for disposition after October 1, 1978. And what we were all talking about is allowing the City Manager and Mr. Morahan to proceed immediately with all of the process. I vote 'Yes.' I saw that I just wanted to point it out so there would be no confusion for the records." Councilmember Himmelblau: "No, I feel this has been a white elephant for the past five years and we need to get rid of it." CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 20, 1978 RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR CEMETERIES Council had before it a resolution to consider rules and regulations for cemeteries. It also had before it an ordinance to raise cemetery fees as proposed in the Fiscal Year 1978-79 Operating Budget. The Mayor said she is not concerned about the fees...she has not heard any objections to those, but has heard concern expressed in several areas. She said the least expensive lot is going from $110.00 to $185.00 and there is a requirement on the crush-proof container which is another $150.00 on top of that. For those who cannot afford it, should there be a container requirement? Mr. German, Director of Public Works, said that the best way to modify that particular part of the policy would be to designate one area of each of the two active cemeteries where nonpermanent containers could be used. Mr. German said they would like to see permanent containers used, but he can understand the cost factor. MS. CLARA JOHNSON, representing Independent Funeral Directors, north of East 7th Street and east of IH 35, serving that part of the community referred to as the "economically deprived," as she described it, appeared before Council. She said that many people cannot pay for a permanent liner and that they should not be considered a "must." She felt that a person should have a choice. Councilmember Cooke asked Mr. German what the advantage is to having a permanent type liner. He answered that it benefits longterm maintenance of the ground...there will not be indentations in the future as there are now. MR. JOHN AMEY, representing Wilke-Clay Funeral Home, told Council that a concrete box prevents collapse of the ground. He said that Mrs. Johnson has a valid point and that a section should be set aside for those who cannot afford the permanent liner. He suggested that the City should take over the set ups at the City cemeteries and this would lower the cost of burial for the person paying for a funeral. He said the City could charge the funeral homes $50.00 per funeral for the cost of the set up. The Mayor asked Mr. German if he had any cost figures for this. Mr. German answered that he does not but will prepare figures on the cost of tents, chairs and a casket lift for the Council. MR. FISH, representing Weed-Corley Funeral Home, said he disagrees with Mr. Amey's ideas for tent set ups. He thinks the City employees should not get into this and that it would cost the City too much money. His suggestion for economy is to ban all Sunday funerals, thus alleviating the personnel who have to be paid. A smaller crew could be kept by funeral homes and the City, because the City would not have to dig on Sunday. Councilmember Mullen asked how staff would feel about this, and Mr. German told him that grave diggers receive overtime for working on Sunday. Mr. Fish commented that City cemeteries stay open on Sunday, but private ones do not. Mayor Pro Tem Trevino suggested that funeral directors can agree among themselves to not have funerals on Sunday. MR. MORRIS HOHMANN, representing Hyltin-Manor, appeared before Council to say that he can support the position of the other directors concerning fees and liners. He recommends that regarding the proposed rules, either staff or whoever, should take into consultation someone besides the Sexton or Superintendent of Cemeteries who wrote them. He said they contain some gross errors, and in his opinion, possibly one or two illegalities. He pointed out Page 3, _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 20, 1978 Item 3 of the rules, "A minimum of eight (8) working hours before the announced time of the funeral will be required for the preparation of the grave." He said he hasn't gone through a full eight hours trying to contact a cemetery yet, but wonders when it will become a fact. He said that just today he spent two hours trying to make a call in reference to a Saturday service. Mr. Hohmann said that an answering service always answers. He also said that there are so many people working in a City cemetery, that it is no wonder the City wants to raise fees, because the wages would be very high. Mr. Hohmann referred to Item 5, Page 3 about the Superintendent or other City officials not being responsible for precise technical information, and the possibility of its being wrong if it is received by telephone. He asked how else the information can be delivered, and cited this as another example of why people in his industry need to be consulted. City Manager Davidson told him, "That's why we sent copies to you, Mr. Hohmann, hoping you would get back to us with suggestions and we appreciate the suggestions you have given to us tonight." The Mayor suggested a couple of weeks delay on this issue so Council can address the suggestions which have been presented. Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council postpone the resolution and ordinance concerning cemeteries to May 4, 1978, for a decision. The motion, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmember Snell, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen Noes: None PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER ZONING AMENDMENTS Mayor McClellan opened the public hearing scheduled for 7:30p.m. to consider amendments to Chapter 45 of the Austin City Code regarding references to a specific zoning district; effect of petitions in Interim-zoned areas; effect of a negative vote of the Planning Commission on zoning requests; annexation of Planned Unit Developments (P.U.D.'s); and minimum lot requirements in "AA" Residence District. Mr. Lillie said these are decisions that this Council and the last Council made with respect to the Zoning Ordinance and it places into the ordinance formally the decisions Council has made with respect to overriding the Planning Commission by a simple majority rather than six votes; that when a Planned Unit Development is annexed, that had received approval while it was outside the City limits, that it would be annexed as interim Planned Unit Development; it provides some side yard schedule for narrow lots; and it provides for a reduction in lot area for "AA" zoning from 7200 square feet to 5750 square feet. It also corrects several of the associated portions of the ordinance thus making these changes compatible. Mr. Lillie stated this has been back through the Planning Commission, at Council's suggestion, and Planning Commission is recommending these changes, unanimously. No one appeared to speak to the issue. Mayor McClellan introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 45 (ZONING ORDINANCE) OF THE CITY CODE OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN, 1967; AMENDING SECTION 45-14(b) OF ARTICLE I THEREOF BY DELETING REFERENCES THEREIN TO A SPECIFIC INTERIM ZONING DISTRICT DESIGNATION; AMENDING SECTION 45-14(d) OF ARTICLE I BY ADDING A PROVISION CONCERNING ANNEXATION OF APPROVED PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENTS; AMENDING SECTION 45-33 OF ARTICLE _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 20, 1978 III BY DELETING SUBSECTION (q) THEREOF; AMENDING SECTION 45-34(b)(1)b OF ARTICLE III BY DELETING REFERENCES TO "A" INTERIM ZONING; AMENDING SECTION 45-34(b)(2)a OF ARTICLE III BY MODIFYING THE MINIMUM LOT AREA REQUIREMENT FOR CERTAIN BUILDINGS IN INTERIM "AA" ZONED DISTRICTS; AMENDING SECTION 45-35(b)(1)b OF ARTICLE III BY SUBSTITUTING "AA" FOR "A" IN THE SECOND SENTENCE THEREOF; SUSPENDING THE RULE REQUIRING THE READING OF ORDINANCES ON THREE SEPARATE DAYS; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Councilmember Cooke moved that the Council waive the requirement for three readings, declare an emergency and finally pass the ordinance, and close the public hearing. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Mullen, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell Noes: None The Mayor announced that the ordinance had been finally passed. PUBLIC HEARING ON HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Mayor McClellan opened the public hearing scheduled for 7:30 p.m. to consider Housing and Community Development. The Mayor stated that there needed to be further newspaper publication on the hearing. She stated that there would be a third such hearing on May 4, 1978 at 11:00 a.m. Motion Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council set a public hearing on Housing and Community Development for May 4, 1978 at 11:00a.m. and ask the joint committee to look at the City Manager's recommendations. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Mullen, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino Noes: None MS. ELAINE ROBERTS told the Council that 202 funds would not be sufficient for funding the Housing and Community Development Program. She stated that the largest unit that could be built with 202 funds would be a 24-unit complex. Ms. Roberts presented the Council with letters expressing the immediate need for handicapped housing in Austin. MR. CHARLES ESKRIDGE, representing MIGHT, told the Council that his organization receives about 150 calls and/or letters per year from persons wanting to know about handicapped housing in Austin. He stated that they wanted to move people into community settings, making them as independent as possible. Mr. Eskridge pointed out that many handicapped individuals were living on fixed incomes and that housing needed to be within their financial means. felt that it would be advantageous to the City as a whole if more handicapped individuals were able to live in Austin. He _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 20, 1978 Councilmember Snell indicated that he would like to see a living unit for the handicapped located in the downtown area which would make that area of the City more accessible to the handicapped. MR. KEN VIANO, Director of the Max Gochman Center for Adult Cerebral Palsy, introduced Melissa Fresh, a victim of Cerebral Palsy, to the Council. Ms. Fresh described her living conditions to the Council and stated that she would rather live in an apartment with only three people. MS. LINDA MOORE, Executive Director of the Austin Area Urban League, appeared before the Council regarding renewal of the current Housing and Community Development contract under which AAUL provides housing counseling services. She stated that the program is essentially the same as presented last year with an increased budget request for $112,000. Ms. Moore endorsed the recommendation of the joint committee for 50% of the requested funding. As to the Planning Commission recommendation that the Council seek other alternative sources of funding within City government, Ms. Moore indicated that CEТА funds would supplement activities for which HCD funds are not available. She stated that the submitted program is endorsed by three neighborhood advisory committees. She stated that the committees felt that the proposed services listed in the program were the kind that needed to be delivered. MR. JOHN BERNADONI, Director of the Paramount Theatre, asked the Council if it was going to challenge the opinion of the Housing and Urban Development Agency that downtown Austin did not qualify for HUD funding. City Manager Dan Davidson told Mr. Bernadoni that he has distributed a report to the Council outlining examples of projects within the central core of the City that could qualify for funding. Mr. Davidson gave a copy of the report to Mr. Bernadoni. Mr. Bernadoni asked that in lieu of HUD's rejection for funding, the Paramount Theatre be placed in the City's C.I.P. budget for funding. MS. SUZANNE CANNON, Vice-Chairperson of the Urban Renewal Agency, presented the URA budget on behalf of the Agency. Ms. Cannon referred to a letter sent to the Council which made point of reinstating funds which were cut in the process of being screened by the joint subcommittee. As to administration, Ms. Cannon made mention of the $50,000 cut in funding and stated that they were going to suggest a $27,500 cut anyway. She pointed out that they were in need of $15,000 to cover staff increases and promotions. Ms. Cannon stated that the travel funding cut from $6,500 to $500 would virtually make travel for the staff impossible. She stated that the staff attended many conferences during the course of the year and that the $6,500 was greatly needed. In reference to agency programs, she stated that the proposed funding would be exhausted within six months. She stated that they cannot do the houses they've contracted to do without additional funding. In regard to Brackenridge Hospital, Ms. Cannon indicated that they were the only agency which is allowed to spend HCD funds on park maintenance and that if the $15,000 for this is cut from their budget, the City of Austin will have to cover the cost out of its own budget. She felt that the joint subcommittee probably did not understand this. Ms. Cannon stated that they also could not operate with the $50,000 cut in legal funding. She pointed out that agency legal work could possibly be transferred to the City Legal Department which could eliminate the need for legal funding. City Attorney Jerry Harris indicated that he would have to analyze the needs of the agency and the economics involved before he could make a determination on the -CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 20, 1978 feasibility of the City Legal Department assuming the agency's legal work. MS. SUSAN DRIVER, President of the Junior League, spoke in support of the Multi-purpose Waller Creek Community Center. She stated that it would cost over $800,000 to renovate the building. Ms. Driver pointed out that the City must demonstrate its support for the Center in order for the League to obtain out-of-town funds. MS. PHYLLIS NUGENT told the Council that a Multi-purpose Center could provide more economic and efficient services to problem families. She stated that an effort could be made to prevent duplication. Ms. Nugent felt that the project would also enhance the downtown revitalization effort. MS. TED SIFF doubted the use of CDGB funds to locate people in the downtown area. He felt that there needed to be more citizen input as to the $2 million proposed funding cut. Mr. Siff stated that three things needed to happen before CDGB funds could be used for economic development. They are as follows: 1. Citizens who have already been involved in the process for funding should be involved with the economic development goals. 2. The potential use of funds from the operating budget should be considered. Programs that have proven their worth should be assumed as the ongoing responsibility of the City of Austin. 3. If some of the programs can be absorbed within the City's operating budget, then certain funding can be freed up for economic development. MR. RICARDO FLORES, representing the Mexican-American Chamber of Commerce, agreed with the City Manager's recommendations for economic development, but questioned where the $2 million funding cut would be taken from. MR. ELLIOTT NAISHTAT, Chairperson of the Community Development Commission, felt that it would be a good idea for the Council to consider moving in the direction of coming up with specific policies through which funding allocations can be based. He stated that to the greatest extent possible, HCD funds should be used to finance housing improvements in low and moderate income areas. Mr. Naishtat indicated that this policy statement came out of the needs assessment done two months ago. This needs assessment was taken from CDC evaluation of the needs of six target areas. He stated that the need most identified in the target areas concerned housing. Mr. Naishtat stated that the use of HCD block grant funds for C.I.P. projects should be kept to a minimum. He presented the Council with a CDC resolution endorsing the funding of the Urban Renewal Agency. He stated that they were recommending that the Council consider the resolution and adopt it. Mr. Naishtat indicated that the recommendations submitted by the joint subcommittee represented the consensus of both the CDC and the Planning Commission. Mr. Naishtat indicated neither the members of the CDC or the Planning Commission have had an opportunity to review the recommendations submitted by the City Manager. He stated that he was concerned about the diversion of $2 million of HCD funds into areas that would not effect low and moderate income people. Mr. Naishtat stated that he looked forward to discussing the City Manager's recommendations with the joint subcommittee. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 20, 1978 MR. BILL STOTESBERY, a member of the Community Development Commission and member of the joint subcommittee, told the Council that he was concerned about the acquisition rehabilitation program, the relocation assistance program and the loan indemnification program and the justification for deleting them from this current year's budget. He stated that there are currently no guidelines for the operation of these programs. He stated that in considering the policy guidelines by the CDC, there was a general understanding that they would be happy to see these programs if they could reach an agreement on the policy guidelines, implemented on an experimental basis and if the programs were successful, to come back and refund them. Mr. Stotesbery indicated that he had a problem, the Urban Renewal League's request for additional funds for an experimental program and an expanded funding level for the programs, even if it was agreed that additional funding was needed. He stated that purely from an administrative basis, the programs should be allowed to prove themselves before they are refunded or before the level of funding is increased. ment Regarding the 312 program, Mr. Stotesbery indicated that if the Urban Renewal Agency is sequentially reimbursed for services during the course of its budget year, then there is no need for a lump sum allocation at the beginning of the year. In regard to the City Manager's recommendations, Mr. Stotesbery stated that he was concerned about the deletion of the Clarksville Renovation Program ($17,000) and the Barrier-Free Program for the handicapped ($75,000). These have been deleted with the recommendation that they seek alternate sources of funding from the City. Mr. Stotesbery stated that he did not agree with this recommendation. He looked forward to the Commission's giving their input into these particular recommendations made by the City Manager. Mr. Naishtat indicated that the recommendations submitted by the subcommittee were in compliance with the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. He asked that the Council take time to look at the needs priorities prepared by the CDC. problem MR. CHUCK WADDELLS, representing the Austin Tenants Council, told the Council that in his assessment of low income housing complaints which did not come into compliance with the City Code, he found that there has been very little impact in certain neighborhoods. He stated that this was due to the fact that there has been very little publicity given to the new Code and that there is still a great fear of retaliation on the part of persons wishing to make complaints. Mr. Waddells indicated that legal remedies are not enough to solve the problem of substandard housing. He stated that education and counseling for property owners, were necessary factors for the abatement of housing violations. Mr. Waddells indicated that to this date there has been little commitment to the rehabilitation of rental property in Austin. Al11 HCD funds for housing improvements having gone to owner/occupant residences and none to rental units. He pointed out that only the Section VIII Program has provided any incentive for landlords to make repairs to their property. Mr. Waddells felt that there was a need for a place of mediation between landlords and tenants. He submitted a proposal from the Austin Tenants Council for $17,115 in HCD funds to expand services and to provide a comprehensive effort in the rehabilitation of rental units. He stated that they were seeking funds from HCD, City contract renewal and CETA funds. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 20, 1978 MR. WARREN BEAMAN told the Council that he was opposed to diverting funds from the central city area for various social services funding. He supported the City Manager's advocation of the economic development program. Mr. Beaman stated that this was the type of program that could do very much for individuals within the City. He stated that revitalization of the central area would result in money coming back into the City of Austin. He stated that the City would have to spend money on the central area in order to keep the tax rolls vital and to have a City government that can do the things that needed to be done in the City. REV. W. B. SOUTHERLAND, representing the Clarksville community, told the Council that they wanted to see the rental repair program placed back into the HCD funding allocations. Motion Mayor Pro Tem Trevino moved that the Council close the public hearing. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Snell, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Mayor McClellan Noes: None Mayor McClellan extended her appreciation to everyone who turned out for the public hearing. to J EMERGENCY MEDICAL STANDBY SERVICE FEES Council had before it for consideration an ordinance amending Ordinance No. 760325-B, increasing the fees charges for Emergency Medical Standby Services. Councilmember Mullen said he was curious about trying to get private industry back into this function. Mr. Bulloch, EMS Director, said they are looking at that with respect to non-emergency transfer service. Councilmember Mullen stated, "I don't know if it's good, bad or indifferent, but I'd like to see an option where if we are going to bring back in transfers possibly they would get involved in this and have a choice. This is overtime, it's not something that we have to do." Mr. Davidson said this can be considered and list it as an option when the transfer recommendation is brought in. In the meantime, stated Mr. Davidson, we'd like the charges to cover the cost. Councilmember Mullen asked when the report would be brought back. Mr. Bulloch replied, "We hope that as soon as we have a chance to visit with the Quality Assurance Team at their next meeting, we will be able to bring that back to you with their recommendations along with the recommendations of the Urban Transportation Commission which met and reviewed that report." Councilmember Mullen asked, "Will that hold up our report to put this into it?" Mr. Bulloch said that he didn't think so, but they may contact the people they provide service to to determine what kind of service they want, before he can tell Council if there are any options. Mr. Davidson told Mr. Bulloch that report can be written up prior to the time the Quality Assurance Team looks at it, and will be included when it comes back to Council. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 20, 1978 Mayor McClellan introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 760325-B STANDBY EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES FEES PROVIDING FOR A CHARGE OF $30.00 PER HOUR FOR STANDBY SERVICE BY ONE AMBULANCE AND ITS CREW FOR A MINIMUM OF TWO HOURS; AND PROVIDING FOR 24 HOURS ADVANCE NOTICE OF THE NEED FOR STANDBY SERVICES; AND SUSPENDING THE RULE REQUIRING THE READING OF ORDINANCES ON THREE SEPARATE DAYS; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY. Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council waive the requirement for three readings, declare an emergency and finally pass the ordinance effective immediately. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Cooke, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmember Cooke Noes: None The Mayor announced that the ordinance had been finally passed. CASWELL HOUSE GRANT MATCH Mayor McClellan introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 770922-A, ANNUAL BUDGET ORDINANCE FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977-78, BY APPROPRIATING FUNDS FROM THE GENERAL FUND ENDING BALANCE AND TRANSFERRING THEM TO THE 1977-78 OPERATING BUDGET, CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM ACCOUNT #6094, PUBLIC WORKS CHARGE #43760945-994 TO MATCH THE TEXAS HISTORIC COMMISSION'S GRANT FOR THE REHABILITATION OF THE DANIEL H. CASWELL HOUSE; SUSPENDING THE RULE REQUIRING ORDINANCES TO BE READ ON THREE SEPARATE DAYS; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council waive the requirement for three readings, declare an emergency and finally pass the ordinance. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Cooke, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Mullen, Snell, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman Noes: Councilmember Himmelblau The Mayor announced that the ordinance had been finally passed. PUBLIC HEARING SET SITE DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE, LAKE AUSTIN WATERSHED Councilmember Cooke introduced an item from Council to set a public hearing on the proposed Site Development Ordinance for the Lake Austin Watershed. Councilmember Cooke stated: "As Council may know, we spent many, many hours deliberating about an ordinance that amended the subdivision ordinance in the Lake Austin watershed. What this particular ordinance proposal does is take April 20, 1978 CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS into consideration the area outside the subdivision ordinance amendment that we deliberated on. This has been before the City Engineering Department, and has also been before the Environmental Board and Department. The Board has held a public hearing on this and submitted to Council." Councilmember Himmelblau asked if this needed to be considered by the Planning Commission and Mr. Cooke replied he did not know if it had been. Mr. Knickerbocker, Planning Department, told her that this has been to the committee of the Planning Commission but it has not been formally acted upon by the Commission but it can be at their regular meeting. Mayor Pro Tem Trevino asked how soon the full committee can look at this and recommend to the Council. Councilmember Cooke suggested setting the public hearing on June 1, and giving everyone plenty of time to do what needs to be done. Councilmember Cooke moved that the Council set a public hearing on the proposed Site Development Ordinance for the Lake Austin Watershed for June 1, 1978 at 11:00 a.m. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Mullen, Snell, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Himmelblau Noes: None CETA EMPLOYMENT AND MANPOWER PROGRAM Councilmember Snell introduced an item to Council concerning response from Council on answers provided to the Austin Branch N.A.A.C.P. concerning CETA employment and the Manpower Program of the City of Austin. Mr. Snell said he had talked with the President of the N.A.A.C.P. and they want answers to questions posed by them some time ago. Mr. Ramirez, Director, Human Resources, stated: "We responded to the questions raised by Ν.Α.Α.C.P. regarding their inquiry. We shared the draft responses with Mr. Overton to assure ourselves that we were answering the questions the way they had been intended. He came back and raised some questions that I felt were still addressed by the policy recommendations that the City Manager recommended to the Council for their consideration. There's not very much we can do regarding the ethnic distribution because we don't do the certification and the actual hiring. Again there is just so much that the Manpower program can do in this regard. I agree with Mr. Overton that it is a problem, but the Manpower program wasn't meant to eradicate all the racial kinds of problems that exist in this community. We have made a significant improvement as our responses indicate in terms of the community as a whole in isolating our program in terms of our responses. Again, gain, I think that N.A.A.C.P. should request membership to MATC so they are constantly aware of all the policy recommendations that will be coming before the Council and the Consortium as well as the key dates and the kind of projects that will be eligible for funding or declaring any kind of public unmet need...that the Council could recommend to the MATC that the project that be funded by the City be highly labor intensive projects." Councilmember Snell said he thought the key to it is, "What is the Council going to recommend after reviewing the information being supplied to them?" He said this is the thing N.A.A.C.P. is waiting to hear. Mr. Davidson ( April 20, 1978 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS thought that N.A.A.C.P. can say that the City of Austin has successfully responded to their question. Councilmember Snell said he thought they were waiting to see what the Council would do, but no one from N.A.A.C.P. was there to tell what they are expecting, so Mr. Snell said he did not know what action to take. ZONINGS SET FOR PUBLIC HEARING The City Manager reported the following applications have been referred to the Planning Commission for recommendation and have been set for Public Hearing before City Council on May 25, 1978.
