TEXAS: ZONING HEARING Mayor McClellan opened the public hearing scheduled for 6:00P.M. on the following zoning application. Pursuant to published notice thereof, the following zoning case was publicly heard: BELL AVENUE STUDY AREA By Jollyville Road C14-79-044 11701 & the rear of 11715-11903 Bell Avenue, also bounded From Interim "AA" Residence 1st Height and Area To "AA" Residence, "A" Resi- dence, & "0" Office 1st Height and Area RECOMMENDED by the Planning Commission Mr. Lillie, Director of the Planning Department, reviewed the zoning application by use of slides. He said the changes had been advertised for "A" residential, and any more permissive use would have to be referred back to the Planning Commission. He reminded Council that this case had been before them on March 29, 1979 as a part of the Bell Avenue Area Study, and had been postponed so the owner of the property could talk to the neighbors. MR. CHARLES AUBREY, owner, A.P.C. Industries, appeared before Council and said he had discussed the zoning application with Mr. Bob Bledsoe of the neighborhood association and all problems have been solved. He said he has proposed a restrictive covenant giving land owners 25' of buffer with no construction in the buffer. Mr. Bledsoe affirmed Mr. Aubrey's statement, and said "0" zoning would be all right. Mayor McClellan told Mr. Aubrey that Council is pleased they have worked out a solution but there is a legal problem about notice. Mr. Albert DeLaRosa, Assistant City Attorney, said the announcements for the zoning case were for "A" residential use, consequently Council cannot grant "0" zoning which is more permissive than the "A" residential tonight. Motion Mayor Pro Tem Goodman moved that the Council close the public hearing, refer Zoning Case C14-79-044 to the Planning Commission for their first meeting in May, and put on the Council agenda for approval as soon as possible.

Miguel Guerrero, Chairman, Planning Commission, said they have adopted the budgetary recommendations of the Joint Subcommittee for the 5th, 6th, and 7th year CDBG funding. A major concern of the Commission is for rapid upgrading of the city's housing stock, but do not feel Urban renewal can rehabilitate the number of units they request. Therefore a re duction is recommended from 225 to 175 units. Mr. Guerrero's report continued as follows: Urban Renewal Agency Administration The Planning Commission wishes to re-emphasize the recommendations of the JSC that alternative of acquiring legal services be explored, and further re- commends a thorough review and analysis of the agency's Administration and staffing requirements. The Planning Commission also requests the City Council review and consider the finding in the forthcoming audit report prior to approving the budgets pertaining to the Agency. Corridors Project Commercial Rehabilitation The Planning Commission feels that the selection of the most capable agency to implement this program can be accomplished through a Request-for-Proposal (RFP) process, and recommends accordingly. Land Use (Zoning) Study/Preservation Plan The Planning Commission concurs with the JSC's funding recommendations and with the CDC's comments that the consultant selected to perform the study work closely with target area neighborhoods currently developing their neighborhood's plan. Business and Economic Development and Market Study The Planning Commission concurs with the JSC's funding and with the CDC's comments that Human Services Department staff work with the National Business League to further develop a proposal for possible future funding. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 19, 1979 Market Study The Planning Commission concurs with the Joint Subcommittee's funding recommendation and agrees with the CDC's recommendation that the six CSA target areas be the primary subjects and beneficiaries of the study. In addition to the above comments, the Planning Commission strongly recommends that those projects recommended for CIP or GRS funding such as CDD #12, parks improvements, and neighborhood facilities, such as the neighborhood centers and health facilities, etc., be included in the next group of CIP projects up for your consideration. The Planning Commission recognizes these projects are essential in the improvement of the low or moderate-income neighborhoods, but feels they are more appropriately funded from GRS or bond monies in view of the limited HCD funds available. MR. ELLIOTT NAISHTAT, Chairperson, Community Development Commission, presented the following report: The Community Development Commission respectfully submits its funding recommendations for the 1979-82 Community Development Block Grant Program. We are providing you with recommendations for three years of CDBG funding in accordance with new federal requirements for a three year community development program and strategy. The funding totals by year are noted below: Program Year 1979-80 1980-81 1981-82 TOTAL Funding Total $5,712,000 5,468,000 5,468,000 $16,648,000 The Community Development Commission, in making its recommendations for funding levels, recognizes that the efforts of the Joint Sub-Committee, Community Development Commission, Planning Commission and ultimately the City Council are the culmination of a lengthy planning and citizen participation process that began as early as September, 1978 for some neighborhoods. Therefore, in its deliberation, the CDC recommendations made by the Joint Sub-committee in light of neighborhood goals and objectives; projects satisfying neighborhood goals and objectives were given utmost priority for assistance from the CDBG program. With only a few exceptions, the Community Development Commission concurs with the recommendations of the Joint Sub-committee. The projects for which the Community Development Commission recommended differently are noted below along with the funding amounts recommended: CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 19, 1979 A. Rental Repair Assistance Program 1979-80 AMOUNT 1980-81 1981-81 $65,508 $68,783 $72,058 The CDC noted that four neighborhoods identified a rental rehabilitation assistance program as a high priority, and that the Austin Tenants Council has demonstrated successfully their ability to administer a program that addresses this need. Consequently, the CDC recommends funding of the program at the requested level. B. Clarksville Public Health Clinic $177,000 -0- -0- The CDC recommends funding of this project at the requested level, based on there being no assurance that this project would be funded from other sources. C. Rosewood Neighborhood Center/ MHMR Human Development Center $105,000 -0- -0- The CDC opted to fund a joint use facility between the Rosewood Neighborhood Center and the Rosewood Human Development Center as opposed to just a neighborhood center facility. The Commission recommends $105,000 for FY 179-80 as the HCD share with subsequent year funding being recommended to come from other non-HCD sources. D. Montopolis Neighborhood Center $278,000 -0- -0- HCD funding is recommended as there are no assurances that other sources can be counted on to fund this project. E. Expansion of the French Legation -0- -0- The CDC recommends that GRS funding or other sources be sought. It should also be noted that this project was not recommended. by relevant neighborhood advisory boards. Comments pertinent to each of the projects noted above are reflected in the attachment. In addition, the Commission would like to remind you that the Urban Renewal Agency's expenditures for legal counsel remain high. The effect of the CDC's changes in the funding recommendations has resulted in slight increases in the contingency budget line items over what was recommended by the Joint Sub-committee. Mr. Naishtat pointed out that the proposal to develop the French Legation area into a park is a good one, but that it is not found to be a priority by any of the neighborhoods in east Austin. He suggested that if it is developed, the funds for it should come from the general fund and not CDBG; but if CDBG.funds are used for it, then the neighborhood projects should come out of the general fund. He went on to say that one item which the Planning Commission didn't adopt concerned the possibility of using the city's bed tax to fund the land use study and preservation plan. He asked Council to look into it and if it CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 19, 1979 can be done it would free up some more HCD Block Grant money. Councilmember Trevino suggested that next year, in their recommendations for a health clinic, neighborhood center, or any other type of construction, they should get staff to help them in trying to determine how much it will cost the city in the operating budget to maintain the facility. Mr. Trevino said Council had found out it is easy to find money in the CIP to construct facilities, but they have had no idea how much the operation of those facilities will impact the budget. At this point Mayor McClellan interrupted the hearings to introduce a visitor to the Council Chamber, Ms. Rhonda Fleming, motion picture star, who was in Austin for the opening of her husband's theater, Mann Westgate. Councilmember Goodman and Mayor McClellan presented Ms. Fleming with an Honorary Citizenship citation. Ms. Fleming thanked the Mayor and Council and said she is happy to be an Austin taxpayer since she and her husband now own property here. Mr. Buck Apelt, Acting Director, Human Services, addressed Council by saying "The main problem which the Commissions and the staff face this year with attempting to come up with recommendations was that of attempting to allocate $5.7-million on more than $10-million worth of applications. We think the Commissions have done an admirable job and particular thanks to the Joint Sub-committee." His report continued as follows: With the funding recommendations adopted by the Planning Commission on April 17, the formal citizen participation structure has completed its task of formulating recommendations for the allocations of Community Development Block Grant funds for the next three fiscal years. A comparative summary of the recommendations of the Joint Sub-committee, the Community Development Commission, and the Planning Commission is contained in Attachment II, along with the respective letters of transmittal. City staff have attempted to incorporate as many of these recommendations as possible into the proposed CDBG budget, outlined in Attachment I; however, there do exist variances between the proposed budget and the commission's recommendations, as well as between the recommendations of the two commissions per se. The following is a list of those projects proposed for CDBG funding about which there is no disagreement: Standard Rehabilitation Section 312 Loan Program Emergency Repairs Section 8: Substantial Rehabilitation Administration Urban Renewal Agency Housing Counseling Clarksville Housing Development Program : Code Enforcement Code Enforcement April 19, 1979 CITY OF AUSTIN.

John Moore, Chariman of the East 1st Street Advisory Committee, relinquished his speaking time to Nadine Sustiata, also a member of the Ad- visory Committee. Ms. Sustiata addressed Council by saying they feel the two priority problem areas which need to be addressed are housing and economic development. Without this, the physical and social decline of the East First Street Neighborhood will be accelerated in the next 5 to 10 years. She said they felt public funds should be used to fund projects which will provide an incentive for private investment in the area i.e. home owners and small businessmen. They feel strongly for projects which will be of direct benefit to poverty neighborhoods and should not be funds used to supplement CIP funds. Their recommendations are as follows: SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATION Top Priority Projects Top priority should be given to projects which will directly and immediately result community improvements in the area of (1) housing rehabilitation (2) renter/landlord assistance (3) small business assistance. The following projects fall into these categories. Housing April 19, 1979 = CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Urban Renewal Standard Rehabilitation Program Section 312 Rehabilitation Loans Emergency Repair Section 8 loans (All houses must be part) Rent House Repair (of section 8 program) Urban League Housing Austin Tenants Council Clarksville Housing Development Economic Development Urban League Credit Union Commercial Rehabilitation 2,132,225 175,800 162,400 100,000 61,535 65,508 50,000 Subtotal $2,747,468 Corridor Physical Improvements Subtotal Neighborhood Facilities Quintanilla House *East 1st Multi-purpose Center 28,500 960,000 650,000 $1,638,500 60,000 88,000 90,000 $238,000 *St. John's Public Health Subtotal *These projects and other neighborhood facility projects should be funded with CIP funds if possible.

John Moore concluded their presentation by saying: "We need housing rehabilitation, small business stimulation, health and sanitation, neighborhood rejuvenation. Forget the French Legation, reduce administration, thanks and salutations; that's our citizen participation." Chuck Wattles, Austin Tenant's Council, asked one of their clients, Ms. Theresa Griffin to speak. Ms. Griffin said she is the landlord of the house at 1605 East 8th. She asked for Rehabilitation money to keep her house up and be able to keep her tenants. Mr. Wattles returned, showed slides of the house in question as an example of what needs to be done. He said the problem is being able to find good work that can be done cheaply and requested a rental repair program to help landlords such as Ms. Griffin. He suggested a revolving loan program, as well as a tool rental program. He asked for $65,000 for the program of rental repair. Reverend I.D. Fontaine appeared before Council concerning the Fontaine Estate. He reminded them that he had been before them previously, and asked that Urban Renewal finish what they had started in his area. He asked Council to consider an allocation of $20,000 for relocation money for them. PAULINE BROWN, President, Clarksville Residents, relinquished her time to Lena Stewart. Ms. Stewart said they would like funding to acquire lots for Clarksville residents so they can build low cost housing. ANN CARLSON, President, Family Place Board, spoke for Family Place and said CDBG funds are essential to their survival. Janet Christy and Ernest Shaw showed slides of activity at the Family Place. Ms. Adrian Fowler, Board Member of the Family Place, also spoke in favor of funding. TOM EARNEST, 902 East 7th Street, protested that if the French Legation Park is developed, his house would be taken. He said he does not feel he has been allowed to express his opinion concerning the revitalization and wants to see a plan of what is going to be done. TRAVIS BENFORD, Travis County Board of Trustees for MHMR, spoke and said the facilities of Rosewood/Zaragosa MHMR are inadequate. Mr. John Brubaker, Executive Director, said they need space and want a facility for maximum use of time and space available to allow for confidentiality of patients. Councilmember Himmelblau asked what square footage is needed, and Mr. Brubacker told her they need 6500 square feet. MRS. ARTHUR TORRES, spoke in favor of the Family Place. She thinks it is a nice place for children. Julia Chapman spoke for the Family Place. She said that having all services in one place is a distinct advantage. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 19, 1979 TOM CROFTS, Director, Austin Child Guidance Center, wants the Family Place because they will be able to serve clients in a more coordinated fashion. TERRY WATKINS expressed his feelings that the Family Place should have several agencies in one place. She felt this would provide more help for more people. SALLY HOWTON, Coordinator for Quintanilla House Restoration project, appeared before Council to present them with material to look at during Manuel Mena's presentation. Mr. Mena spoke to the restoration of Quintanilla House, located at 1402 East First Street. He said it will take $74,000 for the restoration and meets all but one of the requirements for historic zoning. The granting of this sum by Council under CDBG funds will act as seed project for east side restoration and serve to beautify the area and stimulate the economy. SAM HERNANDEZ spoke in support of restoration of the Quintanilla House. He said that CETA funds does not pay enough to hire the skilled labor that is needed in a restoration project. Councilmember Himmelblau asked who the owner of the property is, and was told it is Sally Howton. FREDDIE DIXON, past president, Austin Urban League Housing Center, appeared before Council to urge support of the Community Development Credit Union. BERT EVANS, president, National Business League, told Council they need $76,760 to further their cause in the encouragement of business endeavors for minorities. Mrs. Ada Simon, speaking for the National Business League, told Council they want the quality of life for minorities enriched and enhanced and this can be done through support of the NBL. SUZANNE CANNON, Chairman, Urban Renewal Board, urges funding for the rehabilitation of 225 houses. BERT EVANS returned to read a letter from the National Business League asking the Council's support. GREGG ROBERSON, as spokesman for the Ebenezer Baptist Church, and a member of the National Business League, read a letter from Marvin C. Griffin of the National Business League requesting funding for the proposal. LOVEY EDWARDS, chairperson for Montopolis and ACORN discussed the rental repair project and urged its funding. She also spoke for a Montopolis Neighborhood Center and against the French Legation Park. CLYDE MCQUEEN, speaking as a concerned citizen, said the people in East Austin feel left out and want to see development in their area. CLARENCE WILLIAMS spoke in favor of the National Business League request. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 19, 1979 MARY OREM, Center for Battered Women, said they need funds for improvement of electrical wiring, heating and cooling system, and simple aesthetics that will make the center more attractive for its occupants. LARRY JACKSON endorsed the National Business League proposal. JACK JEWETT spoke in support of the Center for Battered Women request. He said they need the ability to take 10 more people a night...present capacity is 14.

The motion was seconded by Councilmember Snell. Mr. Leonard Ehrler, Director, Parks and Recreation, appeared before Council and said there is concern about the size of the crowd that attends this event and asked for recommendation by Council for another site. Councilmember Cooke said it appears Council is setting a trend of moving functions away from park use by people who live in the vicinity because of complaints of some neighbors. Mr. Hamner explained that the party would be done in an orderly fashion. Council had some discussion and then voted. Roll Call on Motion Roll Call on Motion showed the following vote: Ayes: Councilmember Cooke, Mayor Pro Tem Goodman, Councilmembers Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan Noes: None April 19, 1979 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS REQUEST FOR A STOP SIGN Mr. Russell Brinkman appeared before Council to request installation of a stop sign at the intersection of Clawson Road & Southgate Circle. He said that 200' south of the intersection there is a hill that crests and prevents anyone turning off of Southgate Circle from being able to see traffic. Mr. Brinkman said their request for a stop sign is a simple one and have been frustated in their attempts to contact the Urban Transportation Office, so he has come to Council. Mayor McClellan asked Mr. Ternus to do a quick study of the situation. Mr. Ternus said he would have a report back in two weeks. Mr. Brinkman said Mr. Ternus's office had informed then that in a couple of years, they hope to eliminate the hill completely but with the present accident rate and usage of the intersection by children the neighborhood felt something should be done immediately. Mayor Pro Tem Goodman said the Urban Transportation Department, in the next two weeks, will look at the request for a stop sign; and the possibility of moving up the CIP to a higher priority so the major hazard can be taken care of. REQUEST FOR POSTPONEMENT OF ZONING CASE MR. PHIL SOLOMAN, attorney, appeared to request that Zoning Case C14-78-190 be posponed from its May 3, 1979 hearing to May 17, 1979 at 8:00 P.M.

Mr. Richardson said he would discuss the matter with his client and the attorney for Milburn Company. Motion Mayor Pro Tem Goodman moved that the Council put the change in schedule request for Zoning Case No. C14-78-190 back on the agenda April 26 for the setting of time for hearing; and that it will not be heard May 3, 1979. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Mullen, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Pro Tem Goodman, Councilmembers Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmember Cooke Noes: None CIVIC MATTERS DISCUSSED MR. JEFF JONES appeared to discuss civic matters. He spoke against nuclear power. • • April 19, 1979 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS CITY CONTRACTS TO MINORITIES MRS. ETHEYL MAYBERRY requested a discussion of city contracts to minorities. She was to be represented by Thomas Ausley, attorney. Instead, Sam Kindred, an attorney, spoke for them. He said Mrs. Mayberry is proprietor of EMS Cleaning Service and is a minority business woman. She provides residential and commercial janitorial service. Her aspiration, along with that of other small minority cleaning proprietors, who support her presence here tonight, is to provide service to the City of Austin. Mrs. Mayberry realizes contracts are awarded on the basis of competitive bids. In spite of every effort in the past at economy in their bids they have found themselves consistently outbid by the same companies, over and over...by wide margins. They believe, based on their experience, that it is impossible for anyone to perform adequately under normal competitive conditions and still make a profit on such bids as have been accepted. Mr. Kindred said they are not accusing anyone of wrong doing but want to know that procedures are being employed which insure fairness for all. He asked the following questions: Have the same firms been getting the same contracts time after time? If some contracts are being awarded to minority businesses, to encourage development of those businesses, what requirements as to the proportion of minor- ity ownership exists, and what checks are conducted to see that such requirements are met? Are ascertainable standards used in choosing among bids by cleaning services and are the services actually rendered evaluated in regard to such standards? Is there a procedure to ascertain whether or not minimum wages and other labor requirements are being met? Mr. Kindred said he was asking for the interest and inquiry by the Council or staff in both the award and performance of these contracts. He said they are "interested in seeing that minority advantages are not being appropriated by non-minorities; we are interested in seeing that the city gets what it pays for; and also interested in seeing that fair methods of competition are being employed, especially as to wages and other conditions of labor. Mayor McClellan asked the City Manager to please address the questions raised and share with Council and Mrs. Mayberry. Mr. Davidson asked Mr. Kindred for a written copy of his presentation. Mr. Kindred said he would mail one to Mr. Davidson the next day. Councilmember Snell asked, "Is it acceptable for one contractor to bid under two names?" Albert DeLaRosa, Assistant City Attorney, answered, "There is nothing to prohibit any individual owning two separate companies from submitting a bid. ... I can check on that and get you an answer." Councilmember Snell cited a specific instance and Mr. Davidson said they will check specifics, but on the face of question posed he agrees with Mr. DeLaRosa. He said there are some instances where a use of a second name for a firm may create a subterfuge around a requirement or condition that the contractor wants to avoid. Mr. DeLaRosa said they would get a report back to Mr. Snell. _ CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS May 19, 1979 CLARENCE WILLIAMS with Williams Building Maintenance, a janitorial contractor, responded to Councilmember Snell. "What he is saying, two companies may be out of the same household and what they would do is submit two bids at the same time. One would be lower than the other in case, if you don't get it, I got it. Mr second request supports Mrs. Mayberry. Is there any way the City of Austin could set aside some of these here bids for some of these here minority contractors that...because there are quite a few of the bids coming out. Some of the companies are just starting out and I'm sure some of the companies can give you the same service as some of the large companies. Lots of the large companies. Lots of the large companies are bidding so low that there is no way they can be paying minimum wage and paying taxes and paying insurers to support the contracts. If you can't set aside any of the contracts, can there be a minimum requirement as to the amount of money that will be acceptable instead of just taking the lowest bid?" Mr. Davidson asked if he had talked to Mr. Bennett or Mr. Madison because the city has done a great deal to help people prepare a bid for a city job, and have also done precisely what Mr. Williams asked in breaking down some of the larger contracts into smaller increments so the smaller contractors can bid. As a result, Mr. Davidson said, we are getting more bids from minority contractors who previously did not have an interest or they did not have the knowledge required in order to submit the proposals. He said there will be more functions scheduled in the future to help educate potential contractors re procedures. DRAINAGE PROBLEM MS. TERRY WATKINS appeared before Council to discuss a drainage problem in Shadow Ridge Project Neighborhood, which is a Housing Authority Pro- ject in South Austin. She said that there is a hole in the street for drainage which is large enough for a small child to get down into and is approxi- mately 10' deep. Ms. Watkins said she is requesting that the city engineer and Councilmembers look at the hole and try to put up a guard. Mayor McClellan asked Mr. Davidson to have the appropriate staff people work on this and report back to Council. PUBLIC HEARINGS Taxicab Franchises and Permits Mayor McClellan opened the public hearing, scheduled for 7:00 p.m. to review application for five year taxicab franchise and consider acting on ordinance and taxicab permits.

Townsend, representing Harlem Cab Co., stated the five year franchise is needed for planning and financing. He requested an increase from 48 to 55 permits. Councilmembers Mullen and Cooke hoped there would be newer cabs and an upgrading of all equipment. • CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS: April 19, 1979 Motion Councilmember Snell moved that the Council adopt a resolution to close the public hearing and approve the following number of Taxicab Permits: Airline Cab Company, 1; Harlem Cab Co., Inc., 55; Roy's Taxi, Inc., 50; and Yellow-Checker Cab Co., Inc., 70.

CORNERSTONE DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Construction of approximately 700 feet of 12-inch waste- water approach main. (esti- mated cost to city $16,800.00) Councilmember Cooke said, "We have a recommendation that the city pay a portion of the cost and the developers pay a portion. It is in the city limits...has been since 1975. I would like some understanding as to why we are approaching it this way, considering that we do have CIP items for extension of new customers, and how we are approaching this on the approach main concept versus using CIP. Mr. Rodger White, Water and Wastewater Department, answered, "The approach main vehicle process is about the only vehicle we have at this time to provide service to similarly situated piece of property. This particular piece of property is 700 feet from the extension line. The other vehicle that we have of providing service to a legally subdivided piece of property with a customer...we can install as much as 100 feet of pipe per customer per lot." Councilmember Cooke asked if there are any other lots in this area that have been provided service whereby the city paid for that service that were in a similar situation. Mr. White answered no. Councilmember Himmelblau said, "I understood that when property was annexed to the city or in the city, particularly for undeveloped property, when we tax it, that they were to be provided city services. Mr. White answered that the city does provide a service of installing 100 feet of pipe per customer for a legally subdivided tract and "we just don't have all that criteria in this case." Mr. Davidson asked if he could state specifically that there have been no other exceptions that are very similar to this. Mr. White said there had been no exceptions. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 19, 1979 DON WALDEN appeared before Council and said, "I represent the owner of a 60-acre tract of land on Ed Bluestein and Bolm Road, the subject of the application for the approach main. I have followed all of the procedures the city has laid out for application of wastewater services in con- templation of the development heretofore undeveloped tract of land that has been in the city limits since 1975. I believe that the city staff has followed in good faith policies and the guidlelines that they have for the ex- tension of service, in particular water and sewer utility services. What struck me as being unusual case was number one, the property has been in the city limits over 3 years and is still without wastewater service, even though wastewater service is to the boundary of the property, although it may not be of a characteristic suitable to serve the property. Secondly, the service regulations that were adopted in April of this year do not speak to the 100-foot rule anywhere that I can find in my reading of them, although that is a staff policy in good faith." Mr. Davidson said, "I would like to point out that I had no knowledge that this item was going to be discussed tonight. I am not prepared to speak to any of the individual questions that you are raising. I would like to ask that this be pulled down from the agenda, so that we can develop a full presentation as to what the policy has been so that we can answer Mr. Walden's questions with copies to the City Council." Discussion followed concerning the questions and issue. Finally, Mr. Davidson stated, "I am not asking for a delay, I am asking the Council to approve what is on the agenda. We will come back next week or the week after with a full report, and if they want to adjust or amend what they approved tonight, they can do so. But in the meantime, the project can proceed." Motion Mayor Pro Tem Goodman moved that the Council adopt a resolution to approve the following Wastewater Approach Main to serve Capitol Business Park: Cornerstone Development Corporation, construction of approximately 700 feet of 12-inch wastewater approach main (estimated cost to city $16,800.00); City Manager to come back with a report and amend the resolution if need be. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Mullen, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmember Cooke, Mayor Pro Tem Goodman, Councilmembers Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan Noes: None April 19, 1979 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS RULES MAKING PROCEDURE FOR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Mayor McClellan brought up the following ordinance for its second reading: AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN; ESTABLISHING PROCEDURES FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF STANDARDS, POLICIES AND GUIDELINES PROMULGATED BY CITY DEPARTMENTS RE- LATING TO CONSTRUCTION OF FACILITIES IN NEW DEVELOPMENTS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; AND DECLARING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. The ordinance was read the second time, and Mayor Pro Tem Goodman moved the Council waive the requirement for the third reading, 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 Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmember Cooke Noes: None The Mayor announced the ordinance had been finally passed. LONG RANGE FINANCIAL PLANNING TEAM Councilmembers Cooke and Mullen introduced an item to Council to consider requesting that funding for a long-range financial planning team be included as part of the FY 79-80 proposed budget. They gave the following report: Although the City of Austin is in a strong fiscal position, longrange financial planning is an area needing improvement. We do not currently have the capability to prepare and work with econometric models and projections of our fiscal condition. Although the Office of Research and Budget has made some attempt to project economic conditions, it does not currently have the capability to prepare the kind of long-range analysis a $295 million operation should have. A sophisticated approach to long-range financial planning would provide the City Council and City administrators with advance information on the anticipated financial condition of the City. Revenue, expenditures, and bonded indebtedness could be projected five years or more in advance. A sophisticated model could be adjusted as assumptions concerning economic conditions, growth, and sources of funding change. The financial plan would be a part of an on-going, systematic approach to financial management and problem solving. It would tie integrally with our Master Plan, C.I.P., and annual budget. We would like a City Council directive to the City Manager to evaluate the utility of this proposed planning function and include funding as an option item in the FY 79-80 proposed budget. The City Council can then examine this item in more detail as part of the budget process. As this idea is developed, we need to ask: • • April 19, 1979 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS * * * * How will we use this information? What format will be most suited to our needs? What level of detail and precision do we want? To what extent should departments be involved in making projections? * What staffmembers (Director of Finance, Director of Office of Research and Budget, etc.) should be identified as the"team" to oversee implementation of this concept? It may be that we can draw heavily on other city's experience in financial planning. Dallas, for example, has designed its forecasting model so that it can be developed for use in other cities. Public Technologies, Inc. in conjunction with the International City Management Association will be sponsoring a regional workshop in July to assist cities interested in long-range financial planning. We request the City Manager instruct a staffmember to attend. You may be interested in seeing copies of Dallas' and San Antonio's plan, which are in our offices. Other cities preparing fiscal projections include New Orleans, San Diego, Columbus, Ohio, Washington, D.C., Portland, Oregon, and New York City. Motion Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council instruct the City Manager to proceed and suggest funding options and share with the Mayor's Economic Task Force. The motion, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmember Cooke, Mayor Pro Tem Goodman Noes: None MINUTES APPROVED Mayor Pro Tem Goodman moved that the Council approve the Minutes of the Meeting for April 12, 1979 and the Special Meeting of April 9, 1979.

APPOINTMENTS MADE Mayor Pro Tem Goodman moved that the Council make the following appointments: Council liason committee to the Urban Renewal Board Councilmembers Cooke, Mullen and Snell Information & Referral Service Committee Councilmember Trevino The motion, seconded by Councilmember Cooke, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Mayor Pro Tem Goodman, Councilmembers Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell, Trevino Noes: None PLANNED DEVELOPMENT AREA Assistant City Attorney Sheila Finneran presented the following report on the Planned Development Area: Last week the City Council approved a Planned Development Area agreement between the City and SWECO, Inc., for a tract of land located within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the city at the intersection of Springdale and Manor Roads. The staff informed the City Council that a report would be placed on this week's agenda to solve the following two problems: 1. The Council was concerned that the map accompanying the Austin Development Plan would be changed to show that this tract was designated for industrial use, a designation which was opposed by some homeowners in the area. Based upon the Council directive last week and upon authority already existing in the 1961 Austin Development Plan, this tract will be designated on the map as simply a Planned Development Area, with no mention of industrial use. No further action by the City Council is necessary to resolve this concern. 2. The Council was concerned with what interim zoning classification this tract would assume should it be annexed. As currently written, Sec. 4514(d) of the zoning ordinance provides as follows: where the territory annexed is a planned development area (PDA) subject to a planned devel- opment area agreement, the territory shall assume an interim classification ☑ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 19, 1979 as a "D" industrial district and first height and area district and shall continue to be subject to all conditions of the planned development area agreement covering said territory." My understanding of the Council's direction was that they did not want annexed PDA's to assume an interim "D" classification. This problem could be resolved by deleting the provision that states that PDA's shall assume an interim "D" classification when annexed. If this provision were deleted, PDA's would, upon annexation, assume an interim "AA" classification like other properties. Should the Council wish to delete this provision, we would suggest that such an amendment not delete the phrase stating that annexed PDA's shall continue to be subject to all the conditions of the planned development area agreement covering the territory. In order to delete the provision discussed above, the City Council could ask the Planning Commission to institute the procedure to amend the text of the zoning ordinance. Please note that the amendment to the zoning ordinance discussed above would not change the status of the annexed PDA's which are already zoned interim "D". It would, however, effect those PDA's currently located outside the city limits upon annexation if such annexation occured after the above discussed amendment to the zoning ordinance.
