Mr. Mito itchell, Director, Housing Authority, appeared before Council and stated: "The purpose of introducing this concept of applying for a preliminary loan is for that very purpose. We've never done that before. The turn-key procedure in the past has allowed developers to bring us sites and we are then at the mercy of the developers. This procedure will allow the Housing Authority to preselect the site in accordance with the city's housing assistance plan and therefore give the public and the Council and everyone a chance to know up-front what is going on." Motion Councilmember Trevino moved that the Council adopt a resolution to approve for submission an application by the Housing Authority to the Department of Housing and Urban Development for a preliminary loan for planning and site acquistion for new public housing construction. The motion, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmember Cooke, Mayor Pro Tem Goodman, Councilmember Himmelblau Noes: None Absent: Councilmember Mullen PUBLIC HEARING SEPTIC TANK REGULATIONS Mayor McClellan opened the public hearing set for 7:00 P.M. on an amendment to the Septic Tank Regulations. Dr. Maureen McReynolds, Director, Environmental Resources Management, stated to Council: "Comprehensive new septic tank regulations are currently under review by the City of Austin and Travis County and will be presented to the City Council for adoption in the near future. We anticipate that one aspect of these revised regulations will be to permit the limited use of experimental systems in subdivisions. The type of system that would be allowed under certain conditions is an evapo-transpiration (ET) system. This is a subsurface sewage disposal system usually consisting of a septic tank and a bed filled with layers of gravel, sand, and sandy loam and covered with vegetation. It utilizes surface evaporation and plant transpiration for the ultimate disposal of septic tank effluent. The State Health Department has approved this system for use, where suitable, in lieu of a standard septic tank and soil absorption drainfield. Both the Health Department and Office of environmental Resource Management feel some restraint should be exercised in licensing such facilities in the Austin area until experience has been gained with their use. One of the areas of concern is how the system would function on a year-round basis. Experience elsewhere, on a summer and weekend basis, and in other regions of the state, which are dryer, has been quite successful. waterway. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS. March 15, 1979 LCRA, the closest licensing authority to Austin, has licensed many systems in the Highland Lakes areas but they do not have a record of how many of the systems are used on a year-round basis. A second area of concern is that in Austin we have three different types of situations where ET systems might be used. To the east of the city are areas of very tight clay soil which do not allow adequate percolation for standard septic tank system. Development in these areas has often been limited by lack of available sewage disposal system. ET systems in that area would probably not need a lining of any sort because the clay forms a natural lining. To the west of the city are areas of fractured limestone which often contain faults and fissures that allow too rapid percolation of effluent. In these areas effluent may travel laterally and surface at a distance from the drain field or may find its way into the ground water with relatively little purification and may find its way into some private system. ET beds in this area would need to be lined. A variety of types of liners have been suggested and would need to be evaluated during the experimental period. The third area around Austin is in areas of high ground water, near the lakes and near the larger creeks. These beds would also need to be lined to prevent contamination of that waterway. ET's are more sophisticated than soil absorption systems and will require the homeowner to switch beds...there are two beds installed. One is used until it becomes near saturation and then the homeowner might switch and use a second bed, and switch back again, periodi- cally. The type of vegetation used on top of the beds is quite important because transpiratton by the plants is important to the functioning of the system. The present septic tank regulations allow the use of experimental systems on individual lots with permission of the Health Department. The amendment, which is the subject of tonight's hearing, would expand the use of ET system to their application in subdivisions on a limited and trial basis. Mr. Tom Curtis, representing Thorobred Estates, has requested that the existing regulations be amended now to allow ET use in large lot subdivisions as an alternative to the soil absorption system. The lot sizes which are proposed in the amendment subject to this public hearing are based on the assumption that public health hazards that might result from a failure of these systems during the experimental period will be minimized if they are not located in densely populated areas. Large lot restriction will also limit the number of new systems that are licensed while the staff is developing experience with these systems. The standards should be re-evaluated after a period of 12-18 months. There are other ways to limit the use of the system while staff is gaining experience. The environmental Board has talked about allowing a percentage of lots in a subdivision to be developed on ET systems. This would require plat restrictions at the time of subdivision and the Legal Department has had some concerns about using plat restrictions in that way. A further comment on the proposed amendment is that Mr. Tom Curtis has requested, after reviewing it, that the minimum width be reduced from 400' to 250' and the staff, in reviewing that, does not object to that request. The Environmental Board discussed this. There was no objection, but they did not take a formal action on it. .... (The resolution to set this public hearing appeared on the agenda of the February 8, 1979 Council Meeting. At that time, Council heard testimony from Mr. L.A. Felder and Mr. Clayton Rudder. Councilmember Himmelblau asked, "Mayor can this be read into the minutes for the hearing then (March 15, 1979)? The Mayor agreed. Following are the statements of these two men: _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS March 15, 1979 L.A. Felder, Chairman, Septic Systems Study Committee of the Austin Association of Builders, appeared before Council to state they have been active concerning the septic system in general for several years. "Most of my experience lies in the conventional built septic systems. But I have with me today a member of our committee and association, Mr. Clayton Rudder, he is with Turner, Collie, Braden, Inc. He has done considerable study in the evapotranspiration system, and he would be better qualified to answer any question you might have concerning a transpiration system. Clayton Rudder appeared before Council and stated he has been working with the committee for some time on evapotranspiration systems. "We have tried to get some approved previously through the Austin-Travis County Health Department and have been successful at this point. But I agree with you, Mrs. Himmelblau, that they are not experimental. We have over 300 of them in Highland Lakes. The Brazos River Authority has some; Chambers County has installed some and approved; the City of San Antonio has been doing some extensive research in this area and is effected by the Edwards Underground Water District. I think evapotranspiration systems have proved themselves. As our State Health Department requirements, dated November 30, 1977...I think they thoroughly researched it before they they came up with those specifications. Their requirement for acreage is .34 acres as the minimum size. Of course your normal water well distances and everything would still apply. I think we could go along with most anything on this except I agree, it is not experimental. The liners...I think the PVC liners are just as accurate...in some of the areas, instead of going concrete, or concrete block with asphalt lining. There are other alternatives beside concrete to keep the cost down. In the areas where we have heavy clay I think you wouldn't put a liner in those, you'd just keep using what percolation you did have plus the evapotranspiration." Councilmember Himmelblau asked, "You said .34 acres?" He said yes, 15,000 square feet. Mrs. Himmelblau commented, "We're looking at five to ten if I read it correctly. That's what is bothering me. Mr. Rudder said, "About a tenth of that is what the state has approved." Councilmember Himmelblau thanked Mr. Felder and Mr. Rudder for appearing. She said she is very strong on this type of equipment and would like to see it in use in Travis County and the city. She said she feels it is better than the old conventional type where you need the drain field. Mayor McClellan thanked Mr. Felder and Mr. Rudder and said that the minutes on the hearing will reflect their testimony.) Councilmember Himmelblau, at tonight's hearing, asked, "I wanted to know the reason for the concrete liners, particularly where you could have some shifting, like on a fault. Why not polyurathane or one of the polymars? Where instead of a rigid you could have a shift. Dr. McReynolds answered that the more solid liners were provided because of the security they could provide. ide. She said there are a variety of liners that are available and by including the words "approved equivalent" that would give some discretion to engineers to propose liners for particular situations." Mr. Fred Rodgers, Environmental Health Division, Health Department, appeared before Council to state, "With more and recent development in the _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS March 15, 1979 rural areas of Travis County it is becoming increasingly necessary to provide an individual sewage disposal system which is safe and reliable. With the wide range of conditions from clay to rock in Travis County the augment of the ET system is proposed. It is necessary to protect public health, safety and environment. In protecting public health it is necessary to understand that there are common types of diseases that are transported from improperly disposed human waste. These are typhoid fever, cholera, dysentary, polio, hepatitis and parasitic infections. The diseases are transmitted by direct contact such as human or pet to human through the consumption of contaminated or transmission through flies, mosquitoes, rodents, cockroaches. The proposed amendment to the regulation will allow the use of ET systems in lieu of the more conventional septic tank systems under some conditions. The ET system primarily depends on the evaporation and transpiration of the liquid from the septic tank; while a more conventional septic tank system depends primarily on the percolation of the liquid through the soil." L.A. Felder, Chairman, Septic Systems Study Committee, appeared at tonight's hearing also. He is with the Austin Association of Builders and said they support the ordinance change to allow for the ET system. He said, they do not think a larger lot is needed, or at least not much larger, for the ET system as opposed to the other type. He said the essential difference is the two beds which would probably only need about 1,000 square feet extra land. To jump the lot size required from 15,000 square feet to five seems unreasonable to him. He suggested minimum lot size should be one half acre. Mr. Felder discussed liners and agreed the clay areas probably do not need any at all. However, in the western part of the county, where there is limestone and other impervious soils, it appears to them if the soil does not even meet the mimimum standard, a liner is not needed. Where the percolation exceeds the maximum, there undoubtedly needs to be a liner to protect the underground water. Mr. Felder pointed out that there are many liners, other than the concrete ones that are suitable. Councilmember Cooke referred back to the "other approved" words in the amendment and asked Dr. McReynolds to explain. She reiterated what she said previously and detailed the types of liners. Mayor Pro Tem Goodman asked if the Planning Department was consulted at any time. Dr. McReynolds answered, "Yes, we did discuss this with the Planning Department prior to putting it on the Council agenda. They indicated that they did not feel it necessary for the Planning Commission to review it. Councilmember Trevino and Mayor Pro Tem Goodman asked why this had not been referred to the Planning Commission. Mr. Knickerbocker of the Planning Department answered there was no provision requiring such to occur and they did not get any real requests to do it, but they are willing to refer it to them if Council requests. He said that certain members of the Planning Commission participated in the sub-committee. Dr. Rob Finley, Vice-Chairman, Environmental Board, distributed a letter to Council. (Clerk did not receive copy.) He urged the ET systems CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS March 15, 1979 to be used ummediately and thought lot sizes, when on a slope, should be enlarged. Mr. Clayton Rudder (whose previous testimony is on page 10) appeared before Council and said that ET beds in the Houston area are working satisfactorily. Also on the Brazos River Authority in the reservoir area they are using ET beds. He also pointed out that grasses are satisfactory cover for the septic systems. Councilmember Himmelblau said she talked to staff about flexible liners and their main comment was that if the evapro wasn't working properly then someone could knock a hole in it and their problems would be solved. She asked if this is a danger. Mr. Rodgers an- swered that if they were on a pure gravel situation where the percolation went straight on down, he agreed, a hole punched in the liner would make if go right on down. He said the extra protection of a concrete liner would only be needed within 2,000 feet of a water shed, like Barton Creek, and Colorado River. He does not think the liner would make a difference 20 miles away from a watershed. Mr. O.B. McCowan appeared before Council and stated that an ET bed is not something new. They had them in World War II. He said he thought the lot size requirements are too severe, and would have the basic effect of shutting down everybody's property. He urged passage of the amendment immediately. Mr. Robert Morris, professional engineer, appeared before Council and stated he has designed and built 9 ET systems in Travis County. He said concrete liners are necessary in a couple of instances, (1) where the slopes are such that you are basically building a retaining wall to encompass the bed, (2) if you are actually on fractured limestone you need to hold things together. He went on to say that a lot size of a half acre is an adequate area. For a 3-4 bedroom home, the beds are under 2500 square feet. He said some of the original design criteria of LCRA have encountered problems, but the criteria developed within the past few years by the State Health Department has been adequate, in his experience. Councilmember Himmelblau asked if they are going to the polymar materials. Mr. Morris answered they are going to synthetic rubbers, vinyls, etc. and said the materials should be 20 ml. or heavier. Mr. Tom Curtis, representing Mr. Puett, appeared before Council and questioned the need for anything but an average size lot. He requested Council to pass the ordinance as written, but to change the width of the bed from 400 to 270'. He asked for immediate passage and said Council can always polish the ordinance by sending it to the Planning Commission, etc. Councilmembers Snell and Trevino said they thought the lot size requirement should be reduced. Councilmember Trevino said that the ordinance can always be referred to the Planning Commission for further study. CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS March 15, 1979 Motion Mayor McClellan introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE AUSTIN CITY CODE OF 1967; PROVIDING AN AMENDMENT TO THE REGULATIONS FOR INDIVIDUAL SEPTIC TANK SYSTEMS AND SUBDIVISION REVIEW OF SEPTIC TANK SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT; PROVIDING FOR THE USE OF EXPERIMENTAL SYSTEMS IN PROPOSED SUBDIVISIONS MEETING CERTAIN CRITERIA; PROVIDING CERTAIN STANDARDS FOR SUCH EXPERIMENTAL SYSTEMS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; SUSPENDING THE RULE REQUIRING THE READING OF ORDINANCES ON THREE SEPARATE DAYS; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

March 15, 1979 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS PARADE PERMITS Councilmember Cooke moved that the Council approve the request for a Parade Permit from Mr. James B. Deeter, for Texas Motorcycle Roadriders Association, from 2:00p.m. to 4:00p.m., Saturday, April 28, 1979, beginning from Dawson Road to Riverside Drive, east to South 1st, north to West 2nd to Congress Avenue, north on Congress thru Capitol grounds to 15th Street, East on 15th Street to I.H. 35, South on I.H. 35.

The motion, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor McClellan, Councilmember Cooke, Mayor Pro Tem Goodman, Councilmembers Himmelblau, Snell, Trevino Noes: None Absent: Councilmember Mullen CITIZENS COMMUNICATIONS The following five agenda items under Citizens Communications, spoke as a group: Mr. Baldermar Rivas and other members, Mexican-American Coalition for Economic Development and Affirmative Action, requesting to discuss Economic Development and lack of affirmative action regarding hiring of Mexican-Americans to administrative positions. Mr. Larry Rincones, Austin Chapter of American G.I. Forum, requesting to discuss employment and economic development. Ms. Delores Briones-Ybarra, Mexican American Business and professional Women requesting to discuss employment practices and policy. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS March 15, 1979 Mr. John Moore, East First Neighborhood Service Center Advisory Council, requesting to discuss affirmative action in the hiring and promotion of minority group persons and economic development plans for east Austin. Mr. Moses P. Saldana, Chairperson, South Austin Neighborhood Youth Bureau, requesting to appear concerning the Coalition of Chicano Organizations and South Austin Neighborhood Council. MR.GABE GUTIERREZ, attorney, appeared before Council as the facilitator for the above named citizens for the Mexican-American Coalition for Economic Development and Affirmative Action. He said they had gotten together because of two items of grave concern to them. They have reviewed the preliminary studies of Office of Economic Development Task Force and are concerned because economic development money is not provided for the Mexican-American community and want input into that in the future, depending on progress of their organization. The other item of concern is affirmative action of Mexican-American employees by the City of Austin. Mr. Gutierrez said they have nine speakers who will discuss these subjects. MR. ERNEST PERALES, representing LULAC in the area of employment, reviewed a few of the figures that the coalition feels are important and informative. He said the population of Mexican-Americans in the City of Austin is about 17%. In the 30 departments in the City of Austin, none of the directors or deputies are Mexican-American assistant city managers or top ranking city officials. Seventeen departments, according to Mr. Perales, do not have Mexican-American managers. He then enumerated the number of hires in the departments during the past year which have not been MexicanAmerican. As a result, he said the city cannot say they did not have oppor- tunities to hire. Mr. Perales said about 72% of the Mexican-Americans employed by the City of Austin hold lower level positions which pay below $10,000 annually. He said their analysis shows that the City of Austin, instead of gaining Mexican-American employees last year, lost them. He feels this is a grave problem and should be addressed. MS. DELORES BRIONES-YBARRA, represented the Mexican-American Business and Professional Women of Austin. She addressed the employment of Mexican-American women by the City of Austin. Chicanos comprise, she said, only 5% of the total City of Austin work force. Out of approximately 1,000 professionals employed by the city, there were only 46 Chicanos. Over 50% are employed by Brackenridge Hospital or by the Health Department. According to Ms. Briones-Ybarra, there are only 6 Chicanos earning $16,000 or more annually and of these, four are in the health profession. She said she felt the City of Austin needs to implement an aggressive affirmative affi action campaign to recruit and hire Chicanos to high pay, high status jobs within the city. Additionally, she said, they recognize the need for career development of minorities already in the city's employ. Another area, she continued, of extreme concern is para-professional opportunity which provide opportunity for promotion and upgrading. Ms. Briones-Ybarra said they advocate the creation of more such positions for Chicanos with emphasis on technical and professional occupations. She requested, on behalf of her organization, the City of Austin to pursue an initiative to identify MexicanAmerican employees for promotional consideration when a vacancy occurs with- in their respective department in order to impact all levels of employment _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS March 15, 1979 and that these efforts be monitored and measured and be addressed in performance evaluations of city department heads and their respective staffs. She concluded that the city's affirmative action program will be measured by the outcome rather than the intent. Councilmember Cooke stated both speakers have used the figure 70-72% of the Mexican-Americans in the work force are paid under $10,000 annually. He asked for a figure of the percentage of the other two ethnic groups that are under $10,000... the black and the white. He felt that would be a meaningful comparison in their analysis. MR. BALDEMAR RIVAS, representing the Mexican-American Coalition for Economic Development, expressed concern that Mexican-Americans are not being hired as department heads and for official positions, even though they are qualified. He recommended Council consider the hiring of more Mexican-American with the proper qualification in a department, then the city should con- sider a Mexican-American from another department; and if necessary, consider applicants living within the City of Austin or from outside the Austin area. MOSES SALDANA, Chairperson, South Austin Neighborhood Youth Bureau, recommended that affirmative action should be promoted in the City of Austin on a higher level. LARRY RINCONES, representing the Austin Chapter of American G.I. Forum, said that in the past the barriers to economic opportunity severely restricted Mexican-American participation in the work force and discouraged many from getting the education and training necessary to gain access to stable and well paying jobs. He said the barriers still exist and according to recent research it has been found that discrimination does not decline as education attainment increases. He said the study points out that income differences are a function of discrimination between Anglos and MexicanAmericans. He urged Council to take immediate action to correct past inequities. MR. ARTUERO GARCIA, representing IMAGE, said he has analyzed some departments to determine the situation of Mexican-American employment in the City of Austin. He enumerated as follows: Data Systems Department, 37 employees, annual payroll $774,888, no Mexican-Americans; Planning Department, 15 employees, annual payroll $312,054, one Mexican-American employee; Tax Office, 9 employees, annual payroll $194,800, no Mexican-Americans; Finance and Accounting, 7 employees, $148,000, no Mexican-Americans. In those departments, he said, there are a total of 68 employees earning $1½-million a year, and one Mexican-American earning $17,000. He said that is disproportionate and unfair. After citing more figures he concluded that dis- crimination effects people where it hurts the most, in earning power, and protests his tax dollars being used to discriminate against his own people. He invited City Manager Dan Davidson to visit the IMAGE group, and they will be happy to help with their concerns. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS March 15, 1979 Councilmember Cooke asked, "In the numbers you mentioned by department, were those people in professional and management categories?" Mr. Garcia said the positions he talked of referred to those in management positions making $16,000 a year and above. A man who did not identify himself, said the people of east Austin do not understand the economic development program. He felt there is no reason why the central city is the only area that should be revitalized and the Council should clarify their intent in the economic development program. Mayor McClellan stated that the Economic Development Task Force has adopted a number of changes in its plans and that two public hearings are scheduled: April 11, 1979, Zaragosa Center, 7:30 p.m. April 12, 1979, South Austin (place to be announced later), 8:00 p.m. Councilmember Trevino said that there are Council plans to meet with Mr. Nesbitt, consultant from American Cities Corporation, on March 26 to discuss in more detail what will be involved. MR. JOHN MOORE, East First Neighborhood Service Center Advisory Council, said that in the meetings they have had with Councilmembers, the City Manager and the Mayor, he feels encouraged by the response they have received concerning their interest in the area. Mr. Moore advised Council that something the Chicanos are advocating is a staff member in each department who can speak Spanish for people who are served by the departments. He felt that some job descriptions should require a proficiency in Spanish. His concluding remarks expressed a desire for improvements in the neighborhood under the Economic Development Program and not just central down- town. Mr. Perales returned to respond to Councilmember Cooke's question regarding the percentages of blacks and Whites earning under $10,000 annually. He said 16% of the whites are making below $10,000 and 56% of the blacks; as compared to 72% of Mexican-American. He went on to say that hopefully Council has been able to get a good picture of some of the feelings and attitudes and opinions of some of the public from east and south Austin. He told Council that he is asking them to take affirmative action with the following resolution:. BE IT resolved that the City Council immediately direct the City Manager to amend the budget to provide employment of an Equal Opportunity Officer and staff to work directly under the City Manager and that E0 unit concentrate efforts in the area of Mexican-American employment at all levels. The special emphasis EO plan should provide for an agressive recruitment strategy, develop an effective upper mobility program through training, promotion, and other upgrading methods. In addition, the plan should provide for the identification of positions that can be filled by promotions from within, and these where outside recruitment is necessary. Where it becomes necessary • March 15, 1979 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS to recruit outside the city work force, the Austin area should be the next recruitment source, and subsequently other areas of high Mexican-American con- centration in the state. It is imperative that in order for the program to work successfully, the appointment of Mexican-Americans in the EO program is deemed essential. Motion Councilmember Trevino moved that the Council adopt the resolution as set forth by the Mexican-American Coalition for Economic Development. The motion was seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Goodman. City Manager Davidson said he wanted to discuss the matter before adoption of the resolution. Councilmember Cooke expressed concern about amending the budget without discussing specifics. Mayor Pro Tem Goodman stated that if Council proceeds with the adoption of the resolution then the City Manager could develop a plan to establish the EEO office with the proposed budget amendment. Councilmember Snell stated, "I have worked too long on this program to say let's concentrate in the area of Mexican-American employment. I certainly want to encourage minority recruitment at all levels, but when we say let's concentrate effort in the area of Mexican-American employment, even though I want to support this, this would certainly be defeating the program that I worked on for 2 or 3 years. Friendly Amendment Mayor Pro Tem Goodman offered a friendly amendment that the EEO unit concentrate efforts in the area of Mexican-American, and also blacks and women. Councilmember Trevino accepted the friendly amendment. Mayor Pro Tem Goodman then stated, "I think there should be a minority recruitment within this EEO. At the present time, the way that we handle recruitment in general is in a relatively inconsistent fashion, and in particular with minorities. I think we need to actively seek minorities...Chicanos, blacks and also women, and that it should be a very defi- nite part of the proposed budget amendment and all that it would encompass when it comes back, if it is approved by Council. A quarterly report should also be a part of the overall plan." He also proposed an internship program similar to the one that is in process at Texas Instruments where they select an engineer during the college term and incorporate them into their system and then have the advantage of hiring that person later "I think both the recruitment and the internship program ought to be included in the final proposal if it receives approval." on. City Manager Davidson stated, "Mayor, members of the Council, what I was going to discuss had been already discussed in general terms with _ CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS March 15, 1979 about 15 people in this room during the past 3 weeks, and a part of the discussion, which I have had the privilege ge of carrying on, had to do with the fact that yes, the evaluation of the City Manager, which was just completed by the City Council, did deal heavily with the city's responsibilty for an affirmative action program for all the minorities living in and making up the composition of this community. As a matter of fact, it was probably the strongest commitment that I have ever imagined or seen by all seven members of the Austin City Council, and that is the part that I have started with in discussing this over the past 2 or 3 weeks with the people, some of whom are in this room. I have pointed out also that ever since that evaluation was completed, that I have been designinga new affirmative action approach which will be announced within the next 10 days or two weeks, and it will address many of the concerns that Councilmembers have mentioned this evening and that some of you have brought to the Council's attention in your presentations. I feel that the suggestions that you have had, the points you have made, most are certainly well taken, and I do feel as I told the group that was in my office yesterday, that we have the areas within the city organization that do not represent properly the composition of the minorities in the City of Austin. And I feel that the new approach... the commitment that I have from the City Council to simply...they just told me to present the plan including a heavy recruitment effort, which is mentioned by Mr. Goodman, and I feel that the City Council will, in fact, ap- prove whatever is reasonable that I put on the table in order to upgrade totally the city's affirmative action efforts. "So, I simply want to acknowledge in the presence of the City Council that I have also told these groups, and incidentally these included all the minorities that we have in the City of Austin, but I feel that many of these suggestions and comments are right on target, and I am confident that with the kind of support that the City Council has committed, in the way of resources, that we can do a more effective job of completing an affirmative action plan. As a matter of fact, the plan that I am working on has about 7 different elements. I would say about five more elements than are included in the resolution and I would like the privilege of bringing this to the City Council in its complete form before you adopt anything, and I respectfully want to point out that's the timing involved. It has already involved a number of people in this community and some distinct proposals, and even if you wanted to adopt the budget amount tonight, I doubt that it would be adequate." Friendly Amendment Mayor McClellan offered a friendly amendment to change the wording of the resolution from "to provide employment of an Equal Opportunity Officer" to "provide employment of a professional charged with responsibility of Equal Employment Opportunity". The friendly amendment was accepted. Friendly Amendment Mayor Pro Tem Goodman offered a friendly amendment to include the employment of handicapped in the resolution. The friendly amendment was accepted. March 15, 1979 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS problem Mr. Perales returned to the podium to state that their (MexicanAmerican Coalition for Economic Development) concern in coming before Council had been selfish in a way because there is a problem and no one seemed to want to do anything about it. He said he really had no problem with including blacks and women and handicapped, but that Council is watering down what "we are trying to say to you by adding all these additional phases to it." He went on to say they are not against the other minority groups but, "our emphasis here tonight is to state to you that the problem is there for Mexican-Americans and we would like to see a resolution that addresses the problem of the Mexican-Americans." Mayor McClellan told him that his concerns are understood, and there is no attempt to water down what he has brought before Council but she said the whole picture needs to be brought up and the concerns addressed. Amendment to Motion Councilmember Trevino amended the motion to state that the adoption of the resolution will be a statement of intent and principle, including the friendly amendments to include blacks, women and handicapped and change the wording to "provide employment of a professional charged with responsibility of Equal Employment Opportunity"; and instruct the City Manager and City Attorney to meet with a committee from the Mexican-American Coalition for Economic Development to prepare a formal resolution for legal adoption on March 22, 1979. Mayor Pro Tem Goodman commented that "I would like the Legal Department to draw up an amendment to the ordinance that requires contractors that we do business with to supply us with a minority report breakdown, to amend that ordinance to leave at the Manager's discretion the ability, and actually it will be a directive from the Council, but he will have his own discretion to write those firms that we are doing business with that are very deficient in their minority employment and advise them that we have noticed that their minority employment statistics are not very encouraging and the City of Austin, as a policy, likes to do business with firms that not only advertise equal employment but practice equal employment." Roll Call on Amended Motion Roll Call on the amended motion showed the following vote: Ayes: Councilmember Cooke, Mayor Pro Tem Goodman, Councilmembers Himmelblau, Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan Noes: None Absent: Councilmember Mullen Mayor Pro Tem Goodman added his final comment to state that "10 years ago we had a disasterous situation. Now we have a terrible situation, with disastrous being worse than terrible. It is encouraging. Some strides March 15, 1979 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS: have been made. I think the Manager needs to be acknowledged for the areas of progress that we have achieved, and now we just need to totally rededicate our efforts and vastly improve our existing program. ARTS AND CRAFTS SHOW Councilmember Cooke moved that the Council approve the request of Ms. Susan Haydon, Vice-president, for the use of Waterloo Park on June 30 and July 1 for the Pi Rho 7th Annual Arts and Crafts Show. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Snell, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Pro Tem Goodman, Councilmembers Himmelblau, Snell, Mayor McClellan, Councilmember Cooke Noes: None Avsent: Councilmember Mullen Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmember Trevino BOW FISHING ON TOWN LAKE MR. JOHN W. HARRIS appeared before Council to request Council's consideration on reinstatement of Section 29.6 of the Austin City Code (Bow Fishing on Town Lake and Lake Austin.) Council considered at the same time the Parks and Recreation Board report recommending the reinstatement of a portion of Section 29.6 of the Austin City Code repealed by Ordinance No. 720914-1, Part 14 relating to bow fishing in Colorado River. Mr. Harris introduced to Council some outstanding archers: Robert Youens, State Collegiate Archery Champion; Joan Peterson, State Women's Collegiate Archery Champion; and the president of the Austin Archery chery Club, Lee Gregory; Jerry Hammock, owner of World of Archery; and Nick McCasey, State Broadhead Champion. Mr. Harris said that two weeks ago the Parks and Recreation Board voted to recommend the re-enactment of Section 29.6 of the Code of Ordinances which allowed bow fishing. It was inadvertently repealed in 1972 when the Parks and Wildlife Code was re-codified. No one knows why it went. The problem with bow fishing on Town Lake now is that there is another section of the code which makes archery in Austin illegal except on archery ranges, with toy bows and arrows, in accordance with that Section of 29.6 which they seek to be re-enacted. Mr. Harris said bow fishing is a sport which is practiced at night, with an arrow with a line attached to it. He pointed out that the safety record in archery is excellent. Mayor McClellan said the Parks Board agrees. March 15, 1979 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Motion Mayor McClellan introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 29 OF THE AUSTIN CITY CODE OF 1967 BY THE ADDITION OF SECTION 29.6; REGULATING THE TAKING OF ROUGH FISH FROM THE COLORADO RIVER BY USE OF BOW AND ARROW; SUSPENDING THE RULE REQUIRING THAT ORDINANCES BE READ ON THREE SEPARATE DAYS; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Mayor Pro Tem 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: Mayor Pro Tem Goodman, Councilmembers Himmelblau, Snell, Mayor McClellan, Councilmember Cooke, Trevino Noes: None Absent: Councilmember Mullen The Mayor announced that the ordinance had been finally passed. Mayor Pro Tem Goodman asked for a status report 60 days after the ordinance is enacted to determine if there are any problems.

I _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS March 15, 1979 At the time of roll call, Mayor McClellan stated: "I don't want to pass something nobody wants. If this is worse than not doing anything, maybe we should pull it down. Maybe I should ask you all if you want the designation of that week for public education purposes." Mr. Lopez explained that the plight of the struggling farmworkers should be observed and thought the designation of a week of awareness is worthwhile in itself, although the main issue has been gutted out. voted Yes. Councilmember Trevino, after having first abstained, reluctantly MEDIEVAL FAIR Councilmember Trevino moved that the Council approve the request of Mr. Steve Jackson, Deputy Seneschal, Society for Creative Anachronism, to use Waterloo Park for a Medieval Fair, April 14 and 15, 1979. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Cooke, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmember Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmember Cooke, Mayor Pro Tem Goodman, Councilmembers Himmelblau, Snell Noes: None Absent: Councilmember Mullen PUBLIC HEARING SET Mayor Pro Tem Goodman moved that the Council set a public hearing for March 22, 1979 at 10:00 A.M. on the proposal to amend the flashing sign requirements of the Sign Ordinance, Chapter 3; Section 3-2, 3-20 (d) and 3-25 (b). The motion, seconded by Councilmember Snell, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor McClellan, Councilmember Cooke, Mayor Pro Tem Goodman, Noes: Councilmembers Himmelblau, Snell, Trevino None Absent: Councilmember Mullen PUBLIC HEARING - TILLERY STREET ASSESSMENTS Mayor McClellan opened the public hearing set for 8:00 P.M. in connection with paving assessments to be levied on the following; and passage of ordinance: - CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM TILLERY STREET from EAST 5th Street to Govalle, covering approximately 12 blocks. C.I.P. No. 73/62-37. Mr. John German addressed Council: "The purpose of this public hearing is to consider levying assessments for street and drainage improvements on Tillery Street from East 5th to Govalle. This project converted a two-lane uncurbed, substandard street with no sidewalks and many drainage _ CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS March 15, 1979 problems to one that is 44' wide with curb and gutter, sidewalks, bike lanes, and storm drainage facilities. This project has been in the mill for over 15 months. It began with a construction contract being awarded December 8, 1977 and the passage of an ordinance declaring the necessity to pave on December 29, 1977. This was the first step in the paving assessment process. This project began under the old paving assessment policy but was converted to the new paving assessment policy on February 8 of this year by action of Council. During that process, the total amount to be assessed on Tillery Street has decreased while the total cost has remained $303,150.00. Under the old policy the total assessment was to be $54,660.00 or about 18% of the total project cost. Under the new paving policy it was reduced to $39,809.00, or 13% of the project total. Property owners along Tillery have each been notified of this reduced amount and of the Public Hearing tonight in accordance with the new paving assessment policy. A total of 50 parcels are involved in this hearing, 47 of which are residential property. As required by state law, we have employed an independent appraiser to inspect each parcel and to estimate the amount of the enhancement attributed to each parcel as a result of the street and drainage improvement. Mr. Herbert Sladek has done this work and submitted his report, which you should have a copy of. Based upon his appraisal, only one of the properties involved was enhanced by an amount equal to or greater than our assessment. All of the remainder were less than the assessment. As I stated earlier, the assessment can be no more than enhanced value. Thus the lower value established by Mr. Sladek should be the final assessment levied by Council." Mr. Jerry Harris, City Attorney, then proceeded to question Mr. Sladek who stated his qualifications, and said that his figures of appraisal are lower than the city assessment. Former Mayor Jeff Friedman, attorney representing some of the residents on Tillery Street, appeared before Council. He asked some further questions of Mr. Sladek and told Council that the ultimate request of the Tillery street residents involved in the assessment would be the elimination of any assessment. Mr. Friedman said that basically there has been no change in the ownership of property along Tillery Street for some time. Most of the residents are elderly, on a fixed income, and cannot afford to sell their houses because it would be too costly to live elsewhere. He pointed out that Tillery Street is a city street and should be the city's responsibility to have it paved, not the residents. Councilmember Cooke asked about Model Cities money. Mr. German answered by saying Tillery was one street eligible for the Model Cities funding but was never authorized in the paving program; and there never has been any HCD money authorized for Tillery Street paving either. Mr. Friedman pointed out that it had been the understanding of the Tillery Street residents that the paving of their street would be covered under the Model Cities program and that sometimes the city's word has to be its bond because it can greatly damage the city's credibility if they do not keep their word. Councilmember Trevino said that it had always been his impression that the city would be responsible for paving Tillery. It is his feeling that it would be an injus- tice to assess these people and the Council should waive the assessments. Councilmember Himmelblau asked if this is the only street in Austin March 15, 1979 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS with the given set of circumstances surrounding Tillery. Mr. German answered that it is. Mayor McClellan said she thought the assessments should be waived. Motion Councilmember Trevino moved that the Council close the public hearing and waive paving assessments on Tillery Street from East 5th Street to Govalle, covering approximately 12 blocks. The motion, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmember Cooke, Mayor Pro Tem Goodman, Councilmembers Himmelblau, Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan Noes: None Absent: Councilmember Mullen (SEE THE FOLLOWING SIX PAGES OF ATTACHMENT "A" FOR PROPERTY INVOLVED) INVENTORY OF PAVING ASSESSMENTS FOR TILLERY ST.

(Risher-Roach Building, C14-78-045) Mayor Pro Tem Goodman moved that the Council waive the requirement for three readings, declare an emergency and finally pass the ordinance. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Trevino, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Pro Tem Goodman, Councilmembers Snell, Trevino, Noes: Absent: Mayor McClellan, Councilmember Cooke Councilmember Himmelblau Councilmember Mullen Councilmember Himmelblau asked if this is the one the School Board is upset about. Mayor McClellan said they are upset about more than just one. Councilmember Himmelblau said she had heard the School Board had this historic zoning and that it might jeopardize the tax abatement for some of the other structures. Mr. Tom Knickerbocker, Planning Department, said this case had been discussed by the School Board and passed a motion accepting the historic abatement ordinance with the condition they get to review appointments to the Landmark Commission, Councilmember Himmelblau asked if Council could get a copy of their minutes so they can hear what the School Board said about this property. Mr. Knickerbocker said he would get them. Mayor McClellan said she has not had any formal or informal communication from anyone on the School Board concerning what she has read in the newspaper about their putting their stamp of approval on the Landmark Commission appointments, "and I assume unless we take that action, that will not happen. Can that be done? ....if this question cannot be answered tonight, I would like an answer. ..I'd like an opinion from Mr. Harris and if he can't give it right now, I'd like a written memo to the Council as to whether they can. Mr. Knickerbocker said the School Board was discussing loss of revenue and lack of control and possible future loss of revenues and they just discussed certain cases. City Attorney Harris stated, "I understand the School Board said they would adopt our percentages of formulas provided that the Council would allow them to pass on appointments." Mayor McClellan said what she is asking is whether they have any jurisdiction to pass on the city's appointments to the Landmark Commission. Mr. Harris said no. Mayor McClellan said she wants to know what the School Board's motion is and asked Mr. Harris "to advise us on whether they can set such stipulation and in written memo form." March 15, 1979 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS: BIANNUAL CITY MANAGER'S REPORT Mayor Pro Tem Goodman introduced an item to Council concerning a special biannual City Manager's report. He said he thought that every two years, after the election, the City Manager should report on depleting C.I.P., pending legal action, budget items, on-going studies, affirmative action report, etc. This would be a help to new Councilmembers regarding the state of the City. He asked the City Manager to work up a proposed list of items to be included in the report. Mr. Davidson, City Manager, thinks the idea of the report is very good. Motion Mayor Pro Tem Goodman moved that the Council approve a special Biannual City Manager's Report and instruct the City Manager to work up a list of items to be included in the report and bring it back to Council for consideration. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Trevino, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Himmelblau, Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmember Cooke, Mayor Pro Tem Goodman Noes: None Absent: Councilmember Mullen WALLER CREEK AND CONGRESS AVENUE IMPROVEMENTS Councilmember Cooke introduced to Council a request for a staff presentation on Waller Creek Developments. He thinks it would be a good idea to receive a summary report on these two projects to see what the status is re what has already been accomplished and the time frame for completion. TERMINAL RADAR CONTROL BUILDING Mr. Roy E. Bayless, Director of the Airport, appeared before Council concerning the proposed relocation of Terminal Radar Control Building (TRCON). He introduced Mr. Lew Whipple from the Fort Worth office, FAA, an architect and project manager; and Mr. Wes Cohane, Acting Chief Controller of the tower. He said that the building had first been proposed to be east of the terminal building over the parking lot, but in further engineer studies it had been found that the 500 foot run between the TRCON Building and the tower is too far. So the building should be moved 300 feet from the TRCON facility to the tower. It is for this purpose the item has been brought back to Council. He referred to a map which showed the location originally selected and the location they are recommending the building be moved to. He said that Mr. Whipple had reviewed four local architects concerning the building and asked them if they believed, aesthetically, there would be a problem in making it blend in with the terminal facility. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS March 15, 1979 They all said they would have no problen with the aesthetics. Mr. Whipple informed the Council that indeed, there would be no problem with the aesthetics. Mr. Bayless said an architects rendering would be presented to Council. Couniclmember Cooke expressed some concern regarding the aesthetics. Mayor McClellan pointed out they have worked hard to get funding for TRCON. Mr. Davidson suggested Council approve the building and then they can work with FAA to see if there is an alternate solution to the problem. He said he had one idea he would like to pursue. Motion Mayor Pro Tem Goodman moved that the Council approve the proposed relocation of the Terminal Radar Control Building (TRCON); City Manager to negotiate with FAA and the final design to come back to Council. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Trevino, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmember Cooke, Mayor Pro Tem Goodman, Councilmember Himmelblau Noes: None Absetn: Councilmember Mullen REPORT POSTPONED The City Manager report on Requests for Proposals for Human Services was postponed until March 22, 1979. BARTON CREEK INTERIM CONTROLS According to Dr. Maureen McRenolds, Environmental Resource Management, a date and time will be set for a report on Barton Creek Interim Controls after Council has received the Planning Commission's report.
