BOOKMOBILE SERVICE Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council adopt a resolution to approve a contract in the amount of $32,295 between Travis County and the City of Austin for bookmobile service. (January 2, 1979 through December 31, 1979.) The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell, Goodman Noes: None Absent: Councilmember Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Mayor Pro Tem Cooke Councilmember Himmelblau, prior to her approval, asked why the contract had not been initiated before this time. Mr. David Holt, Library Director, stated discussions began November 3, 1978. Travis County Commissioners heard the preliminary discussion on November 8, and passed their budget January 29. After that time there was discussion as to whether they wanted Bookmobile service to the Travis County Rehabilitation Center in Del Valle. The contract was finally written to their satisfaction in March when it was sent to the County Attorney and County Judge. There was a bog down along the way with communication to Mr. Yoconno. He said the first and second quarters of the incremental fee will be paid in July. LEASE WITH TRAVIS PROPERTIES Council had before it for consideration a lease amendment with Travis Properties for space in the Travis Building. Councilmember Mullen referred to a memo Council received from Mr. Davidson, City Manager, and asked for more explanation. Mr. Jack Klitgaard, Tax Assessor-Collector, stated, "Basically we're asking the lease be amended to incorporate some remodeling expenses which were necessary in the previous year as a result of a reappraisal. Prior to that time we were pressed for adequate meeting facilities for the Board of Equalization and the expansion of the Tax Office which included both additional area for the Legal Division of the Tax Office plus housing the new Claims Division. We were able to acquire enough space to provide meeting facilities for the Board of Equalization where previously they had to be scattered throughout the City in any available conference room which made it difficult to manage work necessary for the Board. .Administrative staff had to be increased by one person and there was no place to house the person." Klitgaard said he does not anticipate any more amendments to the lease before Mr. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 28, 1979 expiration date in 1981. Councilmember Mullen wondered why approval of Council was not asked for before the work was done. Mr. Klitgaard said it was his fault this had not been brought to Council earlier. Councilmember Mullen asked this be pulled and brought back July 5, 1979. WORK UNIFORMS CONTRACT APPROVED Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council adopt a resolution to approve the following contract: THE WHALE 1906 Guadalupe Austin, Texas Work Uniforms, Purchases and Stores Department Item 1-6 $31,110.25 The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Mullen, Snell, Goodman, Himmelblau Noes: None Absent: Councilmember Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Mayor Pro Tem Cooke Councilmember Mullen requested the Council be informed if there is ever a 5% or more increase in the cost of the uniforms under this contract. STATUS REPORT ON FAYETTE PROJECT Mr. R. L. Hancock, Director of Electric Utility, gave the following status report on the Fayette Project: Construction activity at the Fayette Power Project concentrated on Unit #2 during the past month. Unit #2 construction work was active in all areas. Boiler hydro-static test is now scheduled for mid-July. Work on the condensor, the turbine generator, the precipitator, and the pulverizers progressed in accordance with the schedule. Work on Unit #1 is primarily related to landscaping, painting, cleanup and road work. Unit #1 completed the screen run during May and was taken off line to remove the fine mesh screens in the steam flow system. While the unit was down for this work, other maintenance work also was completed that had previously been noted and scheduled. Unit #1 was returned to system operation on June 1, 1979. The unit supplied 53,578,000 kilowatt hours to Austin's system during May, 1979. This was 21.6% of the total system's requirements during May. Unit #1 has operated satisfactorily during the early two weeks of June, although some problems have been experienced, The unit was declared commercial on June 16, 1979. Operational load limits have been placed temporarily on Unit #1 because of the delayed completion of the second transmission line to the plant. Line completion is expected mid to late July. The unit is capable of maximum loading under emergency system conditions, but it is advisable to limt the loading until completion of the transmission line. June 28, 1979 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Transmission connections to the project are still a source of concern. The Austrop to Fayette transmission line construction is being pushed to the maximum extent. This line is currently 88% complete and is scheduled for completion during the early part of July. When this line is complete and energized, the transmission connections to the project will be greatly enhanced. Coal deliveries to the project are becoming routine. Coal inventory is on the order of 60 days upply. With the coming of warm weather, train turnaround time is improving gradually to about 250 hours. Brown and Root, Incorporated, currently has construction people on the project. Most of these people are working on Unit #32. Engineering is well ahead of construction, with no hindrance to the construction progress. Barring unforeseen disruption, Unit #2 should be substantially complete on or before the accelerated completion date of June 1980. Austin's investment in the Fayette Power Project at the end of May totalled $176,079,590.09. The latest Financial Statement indicates the Contingency Fund available for Unit #1 and Unit #22 is $2,081,147.26. STATUS REPORT ON SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT Mr. R. L. Hancock, Director of Electric Utility, presented the Monthly Status Report on South Texas Project as follows: Civil and structural work continues to be the main activity of construction at the STP (South Texas Project) with some mechanical and electrical work being done in various areas. A total of 10,830 cubic yards of concrete was placed during the month, bringing the total amount placed to date to 362,701 cubic yards or 59% of the total. A total of 9,882 cubic yards of fill material was placed on embankments during the month, bringing the total amount placed to date to 99% of the total requirement. A total of 25,522 cubic yards of soil cement was placed on embankments during the month bringing the total placed to date to 1,132,429 cubic yards or 95% of the total requirements. Internal concrete placement for the reactor containment building is nearing completion with only a minor placement at the upper level not yet completed. The polar crane has been installed and a milestone was passed when this crane successfully performed a test lift. This clears the way for lifting and setting the reactor vessel, the steam generators, and other major components of the nuclear steam supply system. Progress continues on setting and aligning the support structure for the nuclear steam supply system. Setting of the major components is expected to start soon, with the reactor vessel scheduled to be set in late July. June 28, 1979 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS The setting of the nuclear steam supply system will represent a major milestone in the development of the project and will signal a transition from a purely civil oriented activity to a program embracing civil, mechanical, and electrical construction disciplines. Once the major components of the nuclear steam supply system are installed, the large steel dome of the reactor containment building will be set. This dome is partially assembled on the ground adjacent to the reactor containment building. It has recently been painted and is ready to be lifted into place atop the containment building. The river pump station is very near completion. The dike between the intake structure and the Colorado River has been partially removed, allowing the intake structure to fill with water. Pum Pumping of river water to fill the reservoir is expected to begin this month or next. The facility has been turned over to Houston Light & Power Company for pre-operational testing and start-up. Progress is also continuing on Unit %2. The sixth lift of the reactor containment building for Unit #2 was completed during the past month. The contractor and sub-contractor had a total of 4448 people on the site as of May 31, 1979. Construction on the project continues to be basically on a 40-hour week with some overtime being worked by some personnel in various areas of the project when the need arises. The project is currently on a 2-shift basis. The revised base line data is currently expected to be ready for review in September. Additional time has been required to complete this work because of the complexity and size of the project and because of the necessary effort to insure accuracy of the revised schedule and estimate. Schedule-wise, Unit #1 remains very tight with Unit #2 appearing to be easily on schedule. #31 reactor set date has been delayed from the original March date to July. The unit could be set but since it is not in the critical path, a decision, based on economics was made to delay set until July. Construction critical path item is the Mechanical Electrical Auxiliary building. This is the result of previous late engineering and vendor performance. Engineering and vendor performance continue to be the major critical path items. Both the project manager and the engineer-constructor are working to expedite activity in both of these areas. Some reorganization and new procedures have recently been implemented in the engineering area and are beginning to show good results. While schedule performance on Unit #1 is very tight, Unit #2 is moving smoothly and in my opinion ahead of schedule. The advantages of engineering completion on Unit #1, solution of field problems on Unit #1, and construction learning curve on Unit #1, all accrue to Unit #2 and consequently it is moving ahead of schedule. As of the end of May, 1979, Austin's incurred cost for its 16% share of the project is approximately $152,394,459. The Austin Public Library is in contact with the NRC regarding the establishment of a public file on NRC documents relating to the South _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 28, 1979 Texas Project. The document file will be in the Austin Travis County Reading Room at the Austin Public Library and will be maintained and administered by the Austin Public Library. The document file should be available for public use in about 30 days. SPACE FOR MHMR AT ROSEWOOD/ZARAGOSA Mr. Buck Apelt, Human Resources Department, presented the following report on the integration of Rosewood HDC into Rosewood/Zaragosa: We have explored several alternatives to include the Rosewood Human Development Center in the Rosewood/Zaragosa Community Center. The feasible options have been reduced to two, with these common factors: Conversion of the multipurpose room, presently utilized by the Parks and Recreation Department, to office space for the Public Health Nurses presently officed in the east office block. Relocation of the PARD office in the east office block to PARD offices in the west block. Installation of HCD offices in the open space formerly occupied by the library. The first option would relocate the Texas Department of Human Resources offices to the east office block. This option would require that additional office space be constructed in the corridor immediately adjacent to the east office block, reducing the width of the corridor from fifteen feet to approximately five feet. The offices vacated by TDHR would then be converted for HDC use. (The configuration of the east block is such that it would not be acceptably adapted for HDC use.) This option offers an acceptable means of incorporating the Rosewood HDC into the Community Center; however, the HDC offices would be somewhat cramped, and space would not be adequate to permit small group/family therapy to be offered. However, it does provide for the continued accommodation of the TDHR offices in the Center. The second option, and the optimum solution from the HDC's point of view, is for the vacation of the premises by TDHR, making the present TDHR space and most of the east office block available to the HDC. This would provide for more comfortable office space for the HDC, and would not require as extensive remodeling as the first option. If this becomes the approved solution, the TDHR will be required to work through the State Board of Control to secure other leased office space, a process that will require from sixty to ninety days. The TDHR has viewed the building presently housing the Rosewood HDC, and considers it a possible alternative site. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS_ June 28, 1979 Because it would enhance the multipurpose characteristic of the Center, we consider the first option most attractive; furthermore, with the completion of the Rosewood/Zaragosa Clinic addition, the space occupied by the Public Health Nurses will become available, possibly permitting some relief to the HDC's situation. In any case, we recommend that the Austin MHMR Center be required to assume the total cost of remodeling required by the integration of the HDC into the R/Z Center. There remains an allocation of $30,000 CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) funding for a new Rosewood HDC location which could be utilized by MHMR for this purpose. Councilmember Himmelblau asked some questions about the space and Mr. Apelt referred to plans on display for the Councilmembers. (AT THIS POINT COUNCILMEMBER TREVINO ENTERED THE COUNCIL CHAMBER) Mr. Davidson told Council this item will be brought back on a later agenda with more specifics. Councilmember Himmelblau thought MHMR should be encouraged to apply to the State for a grant for their space before the City uses its money. Mr. Davidson said he would let the State know. ZONING HEARINGS Councilmember Himmelblau announced Council would hear zoning cases scheduled for 10:00 A.M. Pursuant to published notice thereof, the following zoning cases were publicly heard: BARRINGTON OAKS 12230-12288 U.S. 183 From "0" Office JOINT VENTURE C14-79-086 12005-12027 Barrington Way 1st Height and Area To "A" Residence 1st Height and Area RECOMMENDED by the Planning Commission Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council grant "A" Residence, 1st Height and Area District, as recommended by the Planning Commission.

RECESS Council recessed its meeting at 10:35 and resumed the recessed meeting at 11:05 a.m. PUBLIC HEARING ON SHADY HOLLOW Councilmember Himmelblau opened the public hearing scheduled for 11:00 A.M., to amend the Comprehensive Plan relating to Shady Hollow. Mr. Lillie, Director of Planning, stated: "The City has received a request from the developers of the Shady Hollow Subdivision, which is located south and west of the city on Brodie Lane. The subdivision straddles preferred growth area boundaries of Area III and Area VI. The subdivision is about 600 acres, several sections which have already been approved, with a total of about 1100 lots to be developed. Growth Area III is a priority growth area for annexation, capital improvements, extensions for general government and utilities systems. Priority Growth Area VI is outside of the preferred growth area, low priority for annexation, capital improvements, and extensions for general government and utilities system extensions. When Council adopted the Comprehensive Plan they did provide an amendment for the extension of utilities into Area VI.....that a subdivision which is located in VI and does require city utilities can make that request through the subdivision process. The Planning Commission can grant or deny the request, secondly they can approve the request to the sizing required for that subdivision at the full cost of the developer, which would leave the area in VI, but still have City services at the full cost of the developer, or can approve the request that the size required by the developer at his cost, plus any oversizing that the City requires, at the City's cost, and at that time the Commission and Council can consider amending the plan from a low priority to Priority IV because the City has made a commitment to serve the area with utilities. This subdivision is located in Water District 9 which has been purchased by the City and so we have June 28, 1979 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS a commitment to provide water service to this subdivision. The wastewater will be handled by a package treatment plant. When the Planning Commission considered the testimony by Mr. Gurasich and the developers of Shady Hollow, they felt the area should not be redesignated III but be redesignated in Area IV because the City had committed some utility service to it in the way of water. The recommendation to you is that the Comprehensive Plan be amended to change the designation of the Shady Hollow subdivision from Priority Area VI to Priority Area IV." Councilmember Himmelblau stated this would be no expense to the City to change from VI to IV. Mr. Lillie pointed out Water District 9 can serve 900 homes, and lines will have to be extended to serve the 300 other homes planned. MR. BILL GURASICH, representing Cornerstone Development Company, said they are in the process of an extensive water study to determine the availability of water. He said they are prepared to make significant commitments in the next 90 days on the wastewater package plant, common facilities and recreational facilities. All of those figures are based upon being able to develop Shady Hollow into 1,093 lots. Councilmember Himmelblau asked if the package treatment plant will serve the entire area or if it will be done in phases. Mr. Gurasich said it would be done in phases, on the eastern side of the property on a 13-acre site which will become a park site. NEIL GRAHAM, speaking as a private citizen, but a member of the Citizen's Environmental Board, expressed concern over the proposed designation. MR. ED WENDLER, attorney for Cornerstone Development, spoke in favor of the change in designation. Mr. Gurasich said they consider Shady Hollow to be in the growth corridor and will fight for capital improvements in that corridor. He said they are also under obligation to do this with the neighborhood group as well. Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council close the public hearing and approve an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan relating to Shady Hollow. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Snell, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Snell, Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen Noes: Councilmember Trevino Absent: Mayor McClellan, Mayor Pro Tem Cooke PUBLIC HEARING ON MARIPOSA POSTPONED Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council postpone until July 5, 1979 the public hearing, scheduled for 11:30 a.m., on vacating the portion of Mariposa Drive, east of Parker Lane, a part of Blue Bird Hill, Section One Subdivision. (Requested by Mr. R. Clarke Heidrick, Jr., representing the owner.) The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 28, 1979 Ayes: Councilmembers Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen, Trevino Noes: None Absent: Mayor Pro Tem Cooke, Mayor McClellan Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmember Snell PUBLIC HEARING VACATION OF SABINE STREET Councilmember Himmelblau opened the public hearing scheduled for 11:30 A.M. on vacating the following and passage of Ordinance: SABINE STREET, from the north property line of East 9th Street to the south property line of East 10th Street. (Requested by Urban Renewal Agency of the City of Austin and the Southland Corporation) MR. TOM KNICKERBOCKER, Executive Director, Urban Renewal Agendy, appeared before Council to request the City to consider vacating Sabine Street which has never been opened on the ground between 9th and 10th Street. He said he understands, according to inter-city communiques, the City wants to take the portion which would be vacated and combine it with other City property for the extension of the Hike and Bike Trail. He said the property adjacent to Sabine is also owned by the Urban Renewal Agency and he requested that Austin not transfer the deeds to the street until such time as they can come back with the exact routing for the Hike and Bike Trail because it involves some swaps of land between the agency and the City and further negotiations with Southland. They support the street vacation. Motion Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council close the public hearing, vacate the street and hold up on the transfer of deeds until the staff further negotiates with the Urban Renewal Agency. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Mullen. Motion Withdrawn After some discussion, Councilmember Goodman withdrew his motion. Motion Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council close the public hearing and take action on the vacation later. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Trevino, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell, Trevino, Goodman Noes: None Absent: Mayor McClellan, Mayor Pro Tem Cooke _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 28, 1979 PUBLIC HEARING CLOSING OF NAVASOTA STREET Councilmember Himmelblau opened the public hearing scheduled for 11:30 P.M. on closing the following and passage of Ordinance: NAVASOTA STREET to vehicular traffic from the north property line of East 4th to the south property line of East 5th Street. (Requested by Southern Pacific Transportation Company) Mr. Bob Beckham, Public Works Department, said this is the request of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company to the Urban Transportation Department to close Navasota Street between 4th and 5th to vehicular traffic. This has been reviewed by all of the departments, by the Planning Commission and Urban Transportation Commission and they all recommend approval. MS. VIRGINIA B. MALDONADO, 1412 East 3rd, appeared before Council to state she owns a lot on Navasota Street and does not approve of the street closing. MRS. MANUELA BARRON appeared to express her opposition to the street closing also. Mr. Beckham returned to state the main reason for closing the street is because there are five railroad crossings in this one block. The residents will use the streets to either side of Navasota Street. Motion Councilmember Trevino moved that the Council continue the public hearing on the closing of Navasota Street to vehicular traffic from the north property line of East 4th to the south property line of East 5th Street on July 26, 1979 at 2:30 P.M. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Mullen, Snell, Trevino, Goodman, Himmelblau Noes: None Absent: Mayor McClellan, Mayor Pro Tem Cooke Councilmember Trevino said he wanted to find out more about the closing and what effect it will have on the neighborhood. Mr. Joe Ternus commented they have had a lot of support for this closing from the community and this is the first opposition he's heard. CITIZEN DID NOT APPEAR MR. BOB PRESENT who had requested to speak on the Michelin Tire Company situation did not appear. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS- June 28, 1979 SUPPORT FOR THE PROPOSED MICHELIN TIRE PLANT MR. KEVIN BURNETT, Chairman, Austinites for Jobs, appeared before Council to discuss support for the placement of Michelin Corporations' proposed plant in Austin. He said the decision of Mechelin to not have a plant in north Austin has denied jobs to 1600 Austin families. The average wage which would be paid is $6.34 an hour and chastised the Lamplight Neighborhood Association for fighting against quality jobs for Austin. He asked who else is willing to supply 1600 jobs at $6.34 an hour and told Council he is organizing a petition drive for industry in Austin. DOWNTOWN PROPERTY OWNERS MR. FRED SCHUM (in place of Mr. Thomas Rogers who had requested to appear), representing Downtown Property Owners for Revitalization and Downtown Business Alliance for Revitalization, appeared before Council to express displeasure in the designation and method of designation of a revitalization Urban Renewal District. As manager of the Old Spaghetti Warehouse, he said he has grave doubts regarding the reputability of the survey. The Warehouse had been described in the report as being delapidated, and that it is not. He felt the City should give recognition to private revitalization efforts and the Building Inspection Department's report should be reviewed. ORGANIZATION FOR A LIVABLE DOWNTOWN MR. PHILLIP R. CONARD, representing Organization for a Livable Downtown, appeared before Council to express dissatisfaction in Council's action in declaring a Downtown Urban Renewal District. He lives downtown and is against the eminent domain procedure for acquiring property. He feels a good revitalization plan can be developed by accurately evaluating downtown buildings. Mr. Conard said he is circulating a questionnaire to downtown building owners and will present the results to Council. He then read a resolution from the Austin Neighborhood Council. (CLERK DID NOT RECEIVE A COPY.) Councilmember Himmelblau commented that until a plan for revitalization is delivered to the Council in August, no one is in danger of losing anything.
