Mayor Pro Tem Cooke asked if this is being checked into. Mr. Davidson said he would do so. MR. JOE N. COFFEY, speaking for the homeowners living behind the site under discussion, expressed fear that Arby's which wants to locate on the site, would cause the same traffic, litter and odor problems as the Sonic Drive-In across the road. He said he is concerned about the access because their neighborhood has only one street for an access and if this is used for the driveway area for Arby's congestion can result. He told Council he has a petition against the zoning change. MR. BLEEKER MOORE, representing Acres West Subdivision, appeared against the zoning for the same reasons as Mr. Coffey. He asked for nothing more than "0" Office zoning. MR. CARL SNOW, 13510 Caldwell Drive, expressed agreement with Mr. Coffey and Mr. Moore. He thought fast food operations should be in commercial areas and not in a residential district. MR. CHARLES DODGEN, representing Acres West Subdivision, stated he thinks there are enough shopping cneters in the area and doesn't want anything greater than "0" Office zoning. Mayor Pro Tem Cooke said he had been told the pictures shown by Mr. Brown were of buildings constructed and zoned before the 183 study. He thought the granting of "GR" General Retail on a dead end street would be against the policy established by the 183 study. Motion Mayor Pro Tem Cooke moved that the Council accept the Planning Commission recommendation and grant "0" Office, 1st Height and Area District on Lots 6 7 and 8 subject to the requirements of the 183 study. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Goodman. Friendly Amendment Councilmember Goodman offered a friendly amendment that the zoning would include a 10-foot buffer on all three lots and a 6-foot privacy fence across the back. Mayor Pro Tem Cooke accepted the friendly amendment. Mr. Brown stated that if "0" Office is granted on Lot 8, there will be a curb cut on Caldwell, and they will not deed restrict it for a bus stop for the school children. Roll Call on Motion with Friendly Amendment Ayes: Mayor McClellan, Mayor Pro Tem Cooke, Councilmembers Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen Noes: Councilmembers Snell, Trevino The Mayor announced that the change had been granted to "0" Office, Ist Height and Area District, subject to conditions, and the City Attorney was instructed to draw the necessary ordinance to cover. • CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 13, 1979 BOND SALE Mayor McClellan stated that the City Council of the City of Austin had advertised that it would receive sealed bids until 10:30a.m., C.D.T., this day for the City of Austin, Texas, $60,000,000 Utility System Revenue Bonds, Series 6; and $8,800,000 General Obligation Bonds, Series 259.

Ayes: Mayor McClellan and Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Trevino, Mullen, Himmelblau and Snell Noes: None The Mayor then announced that the ordinance had been finally passed and Mr. Adrian addressed Mayor McClellan and Council and told them: "I don't know quite where to start. We don't have a good market, as you are all aware of, however, let me hasten to say that your bonds did sell well within the market per se. And when I say we don't have good market, the Dow Jones averages are 7.22. Looking back at information I've kept on the sales back to 1960, I don't find anywhere where the Dow Jones averages have been 7.22. These bonds sold in today's market at a 6.6191 which is 60 basis points below Dow Jones averages representing a dollar amount of $8,012,760 under Dow Jones averages. So you'll have some idea of what has happened to Dow Jones averages. One year ago Dow Jones averages were 6.51%. Six months ago, it was 6.93%. Today's market is 7.22%. Together, coupled with the Dow Jones increase, needless to remind you what's happening in the prime interest market. A year ago prime interest rates were 9-1/4%. Six months ago they ranged from 11-1/2% to 11-3/4%. Today's prime interest market, and you probably read in yesterday's paper where Chase Manhatten Bank increased their prime interest rate to 13%. All these are factors which kick up the interest rate on municipal bonds, just as government interest rates are up on bills, FICD's whatever you may wish to invest in in government. Those rates are up, and of course, as a result municipal bonds have to track government interest rates. On the G.O. bonds, your bonds sold at 5.750364%. This is 147 basis points below Dow Jones averages and this represents in dollars, $1,617,000. We're fortunate enough to receive an improvement in your ratings this last time from Moody's Investor Service. Previously your revenue bonds by Moody's was rated as A-1. This time they were elevated to AA. This is a result of the fine credit and fine administration the City of Austin enjoys; and the fine Council who oversees the administration. Your G.O. bonds are rated by Moody's as AAA; by S & P as AA plus. Standard and Poor's rates your revenue bonds as A plus. These are all excellent ratings and does tend to improve the sale of the bonds. I, like everybody else, would like to see your debt all calculated at 3% or 4% but we're not living in that world anymore. Your bonds did sell at excellent interest rate considering market conditions." Councilmember Himmelblau stated, "This is exactly the way I feel. I didn't know what to expect this morning and I think the number of bids reflect our excellent bond rating and I think it was a good bond sale for the City of Austin." =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 13, 1979 PUBLIC HEARING ON ENERGY CONSERVATION IN NEW BUILDING CONSTRUCTION Mayor McClellan opened the public hearing scheduled for 10:00 a.m. on Energy Conservation in New Building Construction. Mr. Lonnie Davis, Director, Building Inspection, appeared before Council to state the ordinance is a culmination of 8 months work by the staff members of the City department, by representatives from the Governor's Office of Energy Resources, and the Texas A & M Extension Department. He introduced Mr. Malcolm Verdect from the Govern's Office of Energy Resources; Mr. Ernie Moore, Texas A & M; Dr. Giles Willis, Texas A & M; and Mr. Logan Wagner, graduate architectural student from the University who worked with the staff and drafted many of the diagrams in the ordinance. Mr. Davis said these people will help with today's presentation. Mr. Davis went on to say, "If at the close of the hearing Council sees fit to draw up this ordinance we would request the ordinance be adopted but the mandatory implementation date be made January 1, 1980, and that in conjunction with that same request, you have a memorandum whereby we would be requesting a $50,000 adjustment to our budget to permit the hiring of two additional personnel for implementing this ordinance. One of those people would be a permanent clerk. The other one in the memorandum says a new inspector. I would appreciate the latitude of reviewing that position and the duties and function of implementing the ordinance and would it appear the most beneficial individual for that position would be an engineer to assist us in the calculations and the administration of the ordinance. So the number of people involved would basically still be the same and this could be accomplished with the same $50,000." MR. MALCOLM VERDECT, staff member with the Conservation Division of the newly created state agency called the Texas Energy Advisory Council, said that for the past year his staff has been dealing with a thermal and lighting efficiency standard. This standard is based on a technical standard included in the ordinance and is the only nationally recognized conservation standard at this particular time on which building construction and design is accepted in the design profession. Other states have adopted a state-wide code based on these standards. He said Mr. Davis has taken these standards and made considable improvement on them. Mr. Davis has also added illustrations and drawings that would simplify the code and simplify the permitting process the City adopted. Mr. Verdect told Council that if they adopt this code they will be a leader among the states and cities. ERNIE MOORE, Engineering Extension Services, Texas A & M, stated they have a contract with the Governor's office to provide training and technical assistance in this program. He said they have done this with the City's Building Department. He feels Austin has done the best job of any city in Texas in preparing the standard. DR. GILES WILLIS appeared before Council. He passed out a brief synopsis of the study which they did, (City Clerk did not receive a copy) and discussed it. Mayor McClellan thanked them for an excellent report. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 13, 1979 BILL GARFIELD, representing the Sierra Club, said they are in support of the proposals. Councilmember Trevino moved that the Council close the public hearing and bring back an ordinance on energy conservation in new building construction on October 4, 1979. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Mullen, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Mayor Pro Tem Cooke, Councilmembers Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen Noes: None PUBLIC HEARING ON APPEAL OF SPECIAL PERMIT Mayor McClellan opeend the public hearing scheduled for 10:15 a.m. on an appeal of a Special Permit from Lt. Col. and Mrs. H. B. Howard, Jr., granted on File No. C14p-79-030 (Woodland Condominium Project). Mr. Lillie reviewed the Special Permit and stated "BB" Residence zoning was approved by Council. He said the site plan will meet the finding of fact when it is all completed. LT. COL. H. B. HOWARD appeared before Council to state his neighborhood will be disrupted by the construction of condominiums. He said the City should realize it is headed for bankruptcy with the payment for water lines, transmission lines, etc., for more construction. MR. LANG, 1901 Parker Lane, expressed his opposition to the Special Permit because he said there will be too much traffic. MRS. PEGGY SHIELDS, who lives on Palmer Drive, requested Council to leave the zoning as it is and not allow apartments. MR. EDGAR JAMES, architect, said he has met with the residents and they are making every effort to work things out for the benefit of the neighborhood. Motion (Made and voted on after noon recess.) Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council close the public hearing and deny the appeal of a Special Permit and uphold the decision of the Planning Commission. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Mayor Pro Tem Cooke, Councilmember Goodman Noes: None RECESS Council recessed its meeting at 12:10 p.m. and resumed its recessed meeting at 2:25 p.m. CITY OF AUSTIN.

PROPOSED MUNICIPAL PARKING FACILITY The City Manager introduced a report on the proposed municipal parking facility. MS. EDWINA RAWLINS, a student at the LBJ School of Public Affairs who interned in the Transportation Department this past summer, presented the report because she had spent considerable time working on it. Ms. Rawlins pointed out there are 800 employees in the Municipal Building, Library and Utility Services who have no parking facilities in the downtown area. She reviewed a plan to erect a parking garage which would extend between Colorado and Congress, and from the rear of the Municipal Building to 9th Street. The City Manager requested the Council to accept the plan and direct him to proceed. Mayor McClellan stated she wants to make the plan well known and suggested other employers in the area be contacted. They may want to help with the financing of the structure so their employees can use the parking facility also. Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council authorize the staff to proceed with the Municipal Parking Facility. The motion, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Cooke, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell, Mayor McClellan, Mayor Pro Tem Cooke Noes: None Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmember Trevino BARTON CREEK/ZILKER PARK LAND ACQUISITION The City Manager presented a report on Barton Creek/Zilker Park Land Acquisition. Dr. Reed gave the report on behalf of the Parks and Recreation Department. It was suggested the data should be centralized in order to focus on the dynamics of the entire watershed, and he urged participation in the planning process by all who will be involved. He then showed slides of the area of proposed acquisition for Zilker Park. After a few questions from Councilmembers, Dr. Reed reported on the Barton Creek Greenbelt. He showed slides of the area for proposed acquisition. Mr. Davidson, City Manager, advised Council he will come back at a later date with more reports and specific recommendations. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 13, 1979 PUBLIC HEARING ON LANDSCAPE ORDINANCE Mayor McClellan opened the public hearing scheduled for 2:00 p.m. to amend Chapter 45 of the Austin City Code, Zoning Ordinance, regarding establishment of landscaping requirement on (1) land zoned "BB" or more permissive which is located on streets with a right-of-way 60 feet or greater and (2) land with twenty or more parking spaces; and consider passage of Ordinance. Dick Lillie, Director of Planning, advised the Council that the proposed Landscape Ordinance had been made available to various neighborhood organizations and civic groups, as well as Mr. Nieman and Mr. Curtis, who represent the development community. He stated that no communication, either for or against, had been received from any of those persons in the past two weeks. Councilmember Mullen stated that he wanted to clear up one thing that has been considered to be a problem area by some people. He said that there was a question "if somebody owned a piece of property and they came in for modifications or building permits, the whole thing would have to be landscaped retroactively. I understand that isn't correct. I think we need a clarification from the attorney. Put it in the Minutes to make sure that what needs to happen does happen." Albert De La Rosa, Assistant City Attorney, clarified Councilmember Mullen's question as follows: "The section of the ordinance to which Councilmember Mullen referred states that 'All land other than that referred to in subsection (f) (1) above shall be subject to this ordinance, with the exception that the landscaped area referred to in subsection (f) (1)a shall be five percent (5%) rather than ten percent (10%).' My understanding of this section is simply that those individuals who already own property which already has the proper zoning and nothing is needed from the City Council or the Planning Commission, either in the form of a subdivision approval or special permit or zoning, when they begin the development after the effective date of this particular section, they would then be required to landscape their property and that landscape requirement would be (5%) rather than (10%); but, I understood that there has been some confusion in that people thought that this meant that everyone would be required to put in 5% landscaping, in order to meet the 5% landscaping requirement. This does not go to existing developments that are already underway or that already exist now. It is just to those future developments after the effective date of this particular section, which is, we could not start it and this particular section would not be effective until the 120 days following the passage of this particular ordinance." Councilmember Cooke requested a further clarification stating that "if someone walks in tomorrow and starts the process that they are excluded?" Mr. De La Rosa replied, "That is correct. They are excluded from this particular requirement, because this section of the ordinance would not be effective until 120 days." He further noted that section (f) (1) establishes the basic landscape requirement of 10%, which is as follows: "The following landscaping requirements shall apply to land which, after the effective date of this ordinance, is (i) subdivided or platted from previously unsubdivided or unplatted land, (ii) zoned or rezoned by the City Council, or (iii) granted a special permit by the City Planning Commission under Section 45-29 of the Austin City Code of 1967." He said those tracts of land which meet the criteria will _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 13, 1979 have to comply with the 10% landscaping requirement, after the effective date of that particular section (which is 60 days) following the passage of the ordinance. After that, other developments which are not specifically set out in the ordinance will have to meet the 5% landscaping requirement 120 days after the passage of the ordinance. Councilmember Cooke stated that the understanding he had was that "the effort to Grandfather was to try to show a good faith effort on the part of entities, businesses, developments, etc., that was currently in process." He further noted, for a full clarification, that implies that any unknown entity that currently has no announcement before the City (in the first category) can come in within 60 days and proceed and an entity (in the second category) can come in the next 120 days and proceed. Mr. De La Rosa replied, "that is correct." Councilmember Cooke noted that he feels we have a very definite sense of responsibility and commitment to those entities that have become before the Council and are making good faith efforts. He further stated that he has some problems with the fact that any other entity can come in within 60 or 120 days and not have to meet the requirements of the ordinance. Councilmember Cooke requested that someone who worked on the draft explain the purpose of that particular process. CHARLES MEEK, one of the persons who worked on the draft, addressed the Councilman's question as follows: "Yes, if you make application within 60 days, for zoning, you would be completely exempt from any of the requirements." He noted that there may be cases that are in the process of coming before the Council and have already made their plans according to the old requirements. Mr. Meek acknowledged that there is a potential problem, but it had not been considered a very serious one by the committee that proposed the ordinance. TOM CURTIS, another one of the persons who worked on the draft, noted that there was a general recognition that there will be some people under this ordinance, because of the particular configuration of their land, that it will be difficult to get it "squeezed in." CARL CAMPBELL, representing the North Oaks Neighborhood Association, said that the association appreciates the transition that has taken place in their area and advocates the passage of the ordinance as presented. area C. L. REEVES addressed the Council, objecting to the ordinance in one where there is subdivided property with no buildings on it. He offered that any property, whether it has buildings on it or not, is developed when there are streets, curbs, utilities, etc. He stated that he thinks it is unfair, if not illegal, to "take property that has been subdivided, according to the historic guidelines and rules laid down by the City of Austin and in most cases the right-of-way, streets, utilities, sidewalks, curbs, gutters, etc., have been provided at no expense to the City, certainly to enhance the property of course, and take this and suddenly change the rules and say, well, for 5% or 25%, I think it started out at 25% but now I believe it has been reduced to 5%...5% is no more legal than 25% and I think that on existing subdivisions that are referred to in item G, second paragraph, where it says that they are only =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 13, 1979 going to require 5% landscaping, I don't think that is constitutional and I think that if it has to be proven in Court, that it is an unfair burden for someone to have to take the issue that far." He further stated that he thought the City Legal staff should determine whether or not the requirement is truly constitutional and remove it from the requirements for this ordinance. Mr. Reeves stated that he understands the language of the draft but wants to know if it is in fact constitutional. Mr. De La Rosa noted that the ordinance was drafted by a number of attorneys and that in his opinion it is constitutional. Mr. Reeves said that he has been told that the ordinance is being adopted for purely esthetic reasons and is therefore unconstitutional. Mr. De La Rosa replied that as the Council adopts any ordinance, it is for the protection of the health, safety and welfare of the public which will benefit from the adoption of the ordinance and is therefore constitutional. According to Mr. Reeves, the only way to determine the constitutionality of the ordinance is in the Courts, which would place an undue hardship and burden on those persons not agreeing with the ordinance requirements. He said that the Legal Department is relying on the proponent's legal staff and that not enough time has been spent by the City Legal Department on this particular issue. Councilmember Goodman requested that the Legal Department proceed with a more definitive look at the legal aspects which Mr. Reeves raised. Mayor McClellan introduced the following ordinance; AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 45 (ZONING ORDINANCE) OF THE AUSTIN CITY CODE; PROVIDING A DEFINITION OF LANDSCAPE AREAS; PROVIDING A REQUIREMENT OF LANDSCAPE AREAS OF CERTAIN DIMENSIONS IN CERTAIN LOCATIONS; PROVIDING FOR EXCEPTIONS TO SUCH LANDSCAPE REQUIREMENTS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; SUSPENDING THE RULE REQUIRING THE READING OF ORDINANCES ON THREE SEPARATE DAYS; AND PROVIDING FOR EFFECTIVE DATES OF THIS ORDINANCE. Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council close the public hearing, waive the requirement for three readings, declare an emergency and finally pass the ordinance. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Mullen, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Mullen, Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Mayor Pro Tem Cooke, Councilmembers Goodman, Himmelblau Noes: None The Mayor announced that the ordinance had been finally passed. Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council also instruct the City Legal Department to come back with a brief regarding the constitionality of Section (f) (2). The motion, seconded by Councilmember Mullen, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Mullen, Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Mayor Pro Tem Cooke, Councilmembers Goodman, Himmelblau Noes: None CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 13, 1979 CITIZEN'S COMMUNICATION HRC'S HOUSING PATTERNS STUDY MR. DAN JARDINE stated that the report submitted by the Human Relations Commission is not a Housing Patterns Study. He said that the Commission has managed to ignore the project title, as represented to the Manpower Training Division on July 11, 1977, in its request for funding. He further stated that the Commission has managed to divert the money, at the expense of all Austin citizens to the preparation of a prejudicial position paper for use by the NAACP and related organizations. He said that it is clear, by studying the position paper, that the Commission's real objective is to lay the groundwork to use the means of the City government to disperse citizens from the neighborhoods of personal choice, based on the objective of satisfying a predetermined racial quota. He said that "it should be noted that the objective of this relocation of families based on their ethnical heritage is to achieve an ethnic representation in all neighborhoods, based on a predetermined ethnic ratio. The Human Relations Commission goes even further and states in its report that ethnic housing concentration should be combatted by the City government and that the Urban Renewal Program should promote residential integration as an objective. The Commission therefore discards the objective of an individual's freedom of choice in neighborhoods and replaces it with the reports of preconceived mathematical form of neighborhood racial balance. Frankly, this sounds far-fetched. Yes, it does; but, who would have thought 25 years ago when the Supreme Court stated that once and for all that schools should not discriminate, based on race, color or national origin, that as a result of this and many small expansions of this premise, that today schools would be ordered to bus children all over the City to satisfy a mixed ratio, then having as the school's objective that of educating students without regard to race, color or national origin. There are adequate City, state and federal laws now existing to protect one from racial discrimination, as charged in this report by the Human Relations Commission against the City of Austin government, real estate brokers, developers, banks and savings and loan associations. If the Human Relations Commission does in fact have evidence to violation of the law, then it should instigate legal action not waste time and money making unfounded accusations in poorly prepared reports. The qualifications of the principal author of the Commission's position paper he was a University of Texas graduate student whose Master's thesis was on the history of blacks in Austin. No one in the Human Relations Department that was involved in the preparation of this position paper had any education of/or experience in the functions involved in the economics of housing patterns." Mr. Jardine stated that he attended the Commission's public meeting on August 6 and found no agenda of the purpose of the meeting, nor was he allowed to take part in the discussion concerning the report. He said that he was allowed to present his typed comments to the Commission, but since have had no reply from them. According to Mr. Jardine, the Council directed Ms. Merle Miles to see that he receive the Commission reply on his comments. He said that he still has not received anything from the Human Relations Commission. He said that "I hereby submit a list of questions that I have concerning the Commission's purported City wide Housing Study and impress that the Council (1) state that it does not endorse a policy of combatting ethnical neighborhoods and that it does not have as its policy that of dispersing citizens throughout Austin neighborhoods to satisfy any type of ethnic ratio or composition in said neighborhoods; (2) that the Council remind the Human Relations Commission that _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 13, 1979 it should concern itself with Human Relations, along human lines not along polarizing preferential influence lines; and (3) that the Council appoint an independent person with credibility in housing research to advise the Council on the objectivity of said study, the language used, the study's conclusions and the facts included in the study that actually support the study's conclusions and to issue the opinion of the possible misuse of public funds by the Human Relations Commission." Mr. Jardine presented the Council with a brief analysis of the inclusions and omissions of the Human Relations Commission's Housing Patterns Study, as he sees them. REDI-MIX CEMENT PLANT MR. LOFTON LEVELS, property owner in King's Village, appeared before the Council to discuss the zoning of property located near his home. He said that there was a zoning hearing on August 9 regarding the construction of the RediMix Cement Plant and its location; however, he had no knowledge of the hearing until later. Mr. Lillie, Director of Planning, noted that the area in question is not within the City limits but is a Planned Development Area. Mr. Levels said that he and his neighbors are concerned about the safety of the neighborhood, as the main thoroughfare to his neighborhood is presently being used by the construction crews working on the cement plant and he wonders if in the future, will the cement trucks also be using the street. He had been informed by the seller of the property that the cement plant would be building its own street, but thus far it has not started construction on anything other than the plant itself. In reply, Mr. Lillie stated that the City policy on industrial use beyond the City limits is to notify any neighborhood associations, to notify the County Commission and to place a legal ad, which includes a map, in the newspaper. He said the site plan approved by the Council included an internal drive with access only to Howard Lane--no time was specified. Councilmember Goodman commented that he was never in favor of the building site and would like to have it checked immediately. Mr. Levels stated that Mrs. King, who sold the property to the cement plant, handpicked the persons who attended the Council hearing with her. Others were not notified until the decision had been made. Those who did attend the meeting actually live more than 300 feet from the site and those who perhaps would have protested the construction (live 300 feet or closer) were never notified. Councilmember Snell suggested that zoning signs be posted on the property whenever there is a PDA hearing. Councilmember Goodman requested that the City Legal Department return with a recommendation as to how the ordinance can be amended to include the posting of signs. Mr. Lillie further recommended that a 3' x 5' sign might be appropriate, as the properties in question are usually rather large and a small zoning map is not appropriate. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 13, 1979 Councilmember Himmelblau asked that the Council receive a report in the next few weeks regarding the traffic situation and that the cement plant be advised that they are not to use the residential streets. CLARKSVILLE REPAIR PROGRAM The Council had before them Mr. Freddie Strong, representing the Clarksville Neighborhood Advisory Board and the Clarksville Community Development Corp. and Mr. Chuck Wattles, Director, Austin Tenants Council, requesting to discuss funds for a Clarksville Repair program. MR. STRONG stated that he had some questions regarding funds to be received totalling $17,500 for a repair program for rental houses. He said they would like to use the funds in conjunction with the Austin Tenants Council in repairing the houses. A guideline for the program was left with the Council. MR. WATTLES appeared in support of Clarksville's proposal. Although the Council has approved the funds, the Clarksville people have had some problems in finding someone to administer them; thus, the Tenants Council has agreed to help them. Mr. Wattles noted that the Tenants Council had used all the available staff to administer the program, as well as involving the Clarksville people. He said "I think what we are wanting to know is are you going to be willing to allocate the money to the Tenants Council as the Clarksville people have requested?" He said that there had been some question as to whether the Tenants Countil, with its current staff, would be able to administer the funds. He stated that there are funds in the HCD and if the Council does not want the Tenants Council to administer the funds with its current staff, then why not allocate additional funding. Mr. Wattles suggested that the Council give them additional staff members, one or two persons, if they feel the need is there. He said that the need to help Clarksville is there, the Tenants Council has demonstrated the capacity to help them, they are interested, and primarily they are interested in serving the neighborhood. MR. CARLOS HERRERA, Director of Human Services, stated that the proposal is a reasonable alternative, because the funds have been allocated. He said the problem they ran into was that several months ago the Council had wanted to have more definitive criteria by which to evaluate all proposals coming in for economic development funds. He said they are still in the process of working on that; however, knowing that the funds are available and there is a need, he stated that they would be agreeable to this being a "one time shot" at this point and allowing the department to draw up a contract which would be ready in a week or so. Councilmember Snell expressed concern about the $17,500 being allocated when there is some question as to whether the Tenants Council can do the job with their present staff. Councilmember Goodman inquired as to whether a portion of the $17,500 could be used for administrative purposes. Councilmember Snell CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 13, 1979 said that he would not favor using any portion of the funds for administration, as the full amount is needed to perform the program. The administrative funds should come from another source. Councilmember Himmelblau stated that she agrees with Councilmember Snell. The administrative funds should come from another source. Mr. Wattles noted that in the proposal the Tenants Council had requested $2,000 to come from the $17,500. Mr. Strong stated that the Clarksville people don't care if they take out $2,000. "The point is, we just want to get the program off the ground." Councilmember Goodman suggested that Mr. Herrera bring back a contract in two weeks, as well as an assessment by the Human Services Department as to whether the Tenants Council can administer the program and if so, how much costs are going to be incurred. Mr. Herrera was advised by the Council to assess the situation and to come back on September 27 with his conclusions, as well as any possible alternative recommendations. BANNERS Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council grant permission to the Anderson High School Booster Club to have a banner placed at the intersection of Steck and Mesa Drive. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Snell, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Snell, Trevino, Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen Noes: None Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Mayor McClellan, Mayor Pro Tem Cooke CONTRACT MR. JAMES J. CHOQUETTE, President, Clean Sweep Company, did not appear to discuss procedures on certain types of contracts offered by the City of Austin for bid. AIRPORT SITE MR. MILTON DENHAM, Superintendent, Manor Independent School District, did not appear to discuss a proposed airport site located in the Manor ISD. MR. JIM LUTZ, who was also scheduled to appear representing the Manor Concerned Citizens, failed to be present to discuss the airport site location. REV. BRYON WELLS, Pastor of St. John U.CC., Richland Community appeared before the Council to discuss the airport site location. His church is locatedless than three miles from the primary runway of the Manor site, if it is chosen. -CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 13, 1979 He said that the airport, if it were located in such a close proximity to the church, would be considered by the church members as a violation of their free exercise of religion. He said that if the Council chooses the Manor site for the airport, the church will most likely go to Court to protect their rights. In addition, he said that he believes the Council has acted against the better interest of the citizens of Austin by failing to give serious consideration of the parallel runway alternative (at Bergstrom Field). Councilmember Himmelblau interrputed Rev. Wells, stating that she could not sit still and listen to what he was saying. She said, "We have given all we can. We have worked with the Congressman and I think that is an erroneous statement." Rev. Wells replied that he was basing his information on public statements, specifically by Mayor McClellan. According to Rev. Wells, Mayor McClellan stated on a local TV show that the basis of the decision was "a letter from the consultant." In reply, Mayor McClellan stated that she "did not say that the decision was based on the letter to the consultant. That's erroneous. The letter to the consultant was part of that decision, but only the initial first part. There were several factors in there. The real closing of the doors on the joint-use part was in a personal visit here from Meece, Undersecretary, Department of Defense. It was some time after any correspondence had taken place when he came here to Austin and invited me out to Bergstrom to tell me a very emphatic 'no.' The indications from the consultant on that particular parallel runway that you are discussing were not positive." City Manager Dan Davidson commented that the Council also had the situation looked at by a Special Task Force of citizens who reviewed the options available to the City and it was on that basis, plus the observations and recommendations of the consultant that the decision was made. Councilmember Goodman stated that the decision on the airport site is yet to come and that he for one is personally opposed to either Manor site. He said that at this point the Council doesn't know if the citizens are going to endorse the bond proposal and whether the Federal government will subsidize us by contributing millions of dollars for a new airport. He said the concern is premature. : Mayor McClellan commented, for the record, "I wanted to clarify the record though about what has happened, not only in written letters, but also in personal communication. There were a number of people in that meeting with Deputy Secretary Meece besides myself. The further point that I want to make is..you know, we are not here as proponents of any particular site. We have not even received the consultants report. The only thing that I've really done battle on, in the past as far as an airport site, and was shut down on, was Bergstrom, and I pursued that long after everybody said 'hey, it's not worth your while to do so. Other than that, we have not received the consultant's report yet. We're supposed to next week. At that point we will proceed with, you know, as we do in any decision that the Council makes, with public hearings and everything appropriate; but, we do not have any recommendation today." 1 Rev. Wells continued, "The parallel runway was suggested in a 1971 Defense Department position. It was part of the desk study in 1975 and was suggested by the Air Force when they turned down joint use of Bergstrom." CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 13, 1979 - The Mayor interrupted, saying, "Just for the record. Just for saying it one more time. It was precisely when they turned us down on that joint use and suggested that parallel runway at that point we not only - we went to Washington. We had discussions after that and we talked about it even building our own airport facility with a parallel runway. I mean we just jumped on that sentence, thinking a-ha, there is a real chance to pursue it, if you all remember, and went to Washington, had the Congressman and various people with us and that's when we got a complete..you know, they didn't just tell us no..they told us a very emphatic no, even if we did build our own airport, etc., etc." Rev. Wells commented that he was not clear as to what the Mayor was referring. "I'm talking about the letter that you are referencing where they kind of left the door open, we thought, and we jumped on that and pursued it and that's when they said, 'no,' commented the Mayor. "If I understand what you are saying," commented Rev. Wells, "you are saying that a parallel runway 4300 feet to the WEST was turned down by the Air Force." The Mayor questioned Rev. Wells, "What were you just referencing?" Rev. Wells replied, "I was referencing an alternative to the Air Force recommended in..when they turned down..from what I could tell.." The Mayor asked, "What's the date on that?" He replied he does not have a copy of the letter. Mayor McClellan said, "I think what you are referencing is that letter that we got back the first time which kind of said no; but, it left a little bit of room there for negotiating and we jumped on that. Then they came down here to personally tell us no." Rev. Wells stated that the letter received from the consultant refers to the recommendation by the Air Force of a parallel runway 4300 feet to the west of their primary runway. In reply, the Mayor commented that "it was a visit after that time, after any written communication, where Deputy Meece came here and said emphatically no." Rev. Wells continued, "It was part of the desk study in 1975 and was suggested by the Air Force when they turned down joint use of Bergstrom. The City Council decided not to consider that according to the letter from the Mayor to the Air Force. The letter that was received from the consultant was done 'without benefit of detailed analysis.' It merely stated some advantages and disadvantages and it is a bad basis for judgment, because of its inconsistencies. For example: in one place the consultant says the landing and take-off procedures from a parallel runway would be generally 1500 feet above the flight paths to Mueller, which means the airplanes would be considerably higher than 1500 feet above the ground. In another place, the consultant says the landing approach to the parallel allel runway would be only 1500 feet above the ground at Mueller Airport. Obviously, these two statements are inconsistent and I believe that any judgement on the basis of that letter is not very good. The Council should give serious consideration to the parallel runway alternative at this time. If Bergstrom was seen as best, why would a new runway less than a mile from the Berstrom runway be seen as beyond consideration? If the Council does not now give consideration to the parallel runway, then I believe that it will be an affront to the citizens of Austin and a grave injustice to those who would be effected by the consultant's recommended site. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 13, 1979 "The following are some of the advantages of the parallel runway alternative: 1. According to the consultant, the parallel runway is considered ideal for simplification of air space and air traffic control, according to the FAA. One tower could effectively manage the civilian and military traffic. This means that is the safest alternative for air safety and control. 2. Airplanes would be flying, generally 1500 feet higher than at present over Austin. This increased altitude and the quieter airplanes in 1986 would make noise from airplanes over Austin considerably less than at present. 3. The cost to build a single parallel runway to Berstrom would be considerably less than building a two-runway airport on the very unstable Houston black clay at the site chosen by the consultant. Only one runway would be needed, because Bergstrom could be used during emergencies or repair of the runway. 4. Fewer people would have a significant increase of noise or be relocated than by the site recommended by the consultant. 5. Historic churches at the consultants recommended site would be protected, along with their rights. 6. Good roadway access already exists. 7. It is much closer to downtown than the site chosen by the consultant; therefore, time and fuel would be saved. The parallel runway is the safest, least expensive, most convenient and the best energy saver alternative, since joint use of Bergstrom is not currently possible. "Because of the advantages, I hope that the Council will not proceed with the consultants recommended site, until it thoroughly develops technical studies of the parallel runway alternative and gives it serious consideration and highest priority." Councilmember Goodman inquired as to what the present utilization of the approximately 6000 acres considered for the airport site is. Rev. Wells replied that the airport site is primarily farm land and farm houses. Councilmember Mullen asked Rev. Wells if he understood that the Council agrees with most of his suggestions; but, if "we don't have permission from the Air Force, we can't do it." Commenting on the Mayor's earlier request, Councilmember Goodman told Rev. Wells that he would be given chronological information to show the entire sequence of events and their present status. The Mayor said that "what we may be getting hung up on runways, too. Initially, we started out with one runway. Then we had another request where we had talked about putting another runway..I forget what separation there would be..we were talking about putting in our own runway and our own airport facilities." CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 13, 1979 Rev. Wells commented that he was just replying to "what the Air Force said. I have not seen anything provided to me, as far as letters, showing that the Air Force has rejected." Councilmember Snell inquired as to how much of the site takes up New Katy. In answer to Councilmember Snell's question, Rev. Wells said that it depends on where the new runways are angled. More than likely, New Katy should be completed relocated, because as it is New Katy would be right in between the two runways. BIG WALNUT CREEK LINDA FRITH, President, Northeast Walnut Creek Homeowner Association, appeared before the Council showing slides of the proposed route along Walnut Creek for the City's wastewater interceptor. She urged the Council to spend the money now for further refinement of her group's alternate plan, rather than to damage the creek area with a wastewater line. BUDGET PROPOSAL ELECTRIC DEPARTMENT MR. LARRY DEUSER, member of the Electric Utility Commission, appeared before the Council to discuss the budget proposal for the Electric Department. While reviewing the budget, Mr. Deuser said that he found some very startling aspects to the Electric Department's staff funding that have occurred over the past two years. He said that several Commission members were not satisfied with the Electric Department's explanation or that of the Director of Budget. He noted some of the problem areas as follows: In the Electric Department budget there is a practice not exhibited by any other City department, according to Mr. Deuser that is "to ask for, and in the case of last year's budget, receive funding for an ideal staff." He said that the result is discretionary funds in the wages and salaries category. He said there is a sizable difference in titles filled and titles budgeted. He said that, if approved, this practice would result in nearly $1,000,000 of unexpensed money that could be diverted to other projects within the Electric Department. No City Council approval is required. The City Manager's signature is all that is needed. Mr. Deuser further stated that the argument that this practice somehow relates to a 5% vacancy rate in employees or that the Director of Budget requires these procedures doesn't make sense when you examine the present and past staffing proposals of the other City departments. He pointed out that the Electric Department's suggestion on the EUC recommended $1,000,000 cut on where the money would be allocated did not use this source of potential decrease in required funds. Further commenting, Mr. Deuser said that there are some services that should not be cut. For example: Library services, such as the bookmobile and Travis County Collection; street and bridge sweeping; maintenance of alleys; free copies of important City documents to responsible City organizations and inexpensive copies available to the general public, as well as the human services area. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 13, 1979 Mr. Deuser said that items that should not be increased on this year's budget are those that accelerate growth, such as water and wastewater line designs; engineering, etc. In conclusion, Mr. Deuser said, "Would you please adopt as your model, services to current City residents precede those to prospective future City residents." He also asked that the Council resist the temptation to reduce human services and neighborhood services. Mayor Pro Tem Cooke commended Mr. Deuser for his hard work in analyzing the proposed budget. He did comment that the Council needs to look at the numbers and the staffing, because in the end the personnel has the most dramatic effect on the general fund. However, the Mayor Pro Tem said that he would like to take exception to the items which Mr. Deuser suggested the Council not increase. He said that Mr. Deuser seemed to imply a growth-no growth issue. Mr. Deuser replied that it is more a case of accelerated growth versus a fairly constant growth pattern. City Manager Dan Davidson addressed one point of Mr. Deuser's presentation --that of unexpensed funds requiring only the City Manager's approval in order to be diverted to other projects. He said that a report given to the City Council points out that some $4,000,000, under the budget, is going to be expended this year by the Electric Utility in all areas and those monies have not been expensed for so-called other projects. He said that it is not a practice of his or the staffs. Councilmember Goodman requested that the City Manager provide the Council with details as to how many jobs were budgeted but never filled. COUNTY CABLE TV POLE RENTAL AGREEMENT Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council adopt a resolution for a pole rental agreement between County Cable TV, Inc., and the City of Austin. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmember Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Mayor Pro Tem Cooke, Councilmembers Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell Noes: None UPPER WALNUT CREEK WASTEWATER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council adopt a resolution to authorize eminent domain proceedings to acquire the following tract of land for sanitary sewer for the Upper Walnut Creek Wastewater Improvement Project: North 20' of Lot 12, North Oaks (James C. Bostic, et ux, owners) The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor McClellan, Mayor Pro Tem Cooke, Councilmembers Noes: Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen, Trevino Councilmember Snell - CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 13, 1979 Before the vote was taken, Mrs. Bostic appeared before Council to state the neighborhood will not give up their fight to save the creek. She said a park is needed in the north part of the city and the creek area serves as a park. Mayor McClellan asked Curtis Johnson, Director of Water and Wastewater, to address an alternate route and restoration procedures. Mr. Johnson stated that through the Phase I part of the project, they can give additional consideration to about five locations, thus saving some of the areas under concern. Mrs. Bostic returned to state they are still hoping for a public hearing. Mr. Davidson, City Manager, reminded her that public hearings have already been held before the Planning Commission. He told her the project will be done right, and restoration of the creek will be carefully attended to. RESIDENCE FOR MULTIPLY HANDICAPPED Councilmember Snell moved that the Council adopt a resolution to enter into a Lease Agreement with the Texas Rehabilitation Commission for operation of a residence for the multiply handicapped. The motion, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Cooke, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Pro Tem Cooke, Councilmembers Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan Noes: None Councilmember Snell commented that he is grateful this need has been taken care of. He said he hopes the City will be able to follow through with their plan to put residences for the multiply handicapped all over Austin. TRAVIS COUNTY APPRAISAL DISTRICT Council had before it for consideration participation in the Travis County Appraisal District. Mayor McClellan wanted to know what is specifically being done now, and wants Council to be fully aware of the steps which must be taken within the next few weeks. Mr. Mike Mulcahy, Tax Department, stated: "This step is the City Council's election of one of three possibilities that are provided for in the recent legislation that causes us to eventually get into County-wide appraisal districts The three elections are for any taxing jurisdiction having property in more than one county. The three possible elections are: To be appraised wholly in one county or in the other; To be appraised in both of the counties in which you have part of your jurisdiction line. So that means the City of Austin has the option of being appraised completely by Travis County Appraisal Unit, completely by the Williamson County Appraisal Unit, or in part by each. The Tax Department is recommending that Council elect to be taxed completely by the Travis County Appraisal Unit because we have so little property in Williamson County and because we feel like the Travis County Appraisal District will do a better job than whoever Williamson County ends up getting to do their appraisals for them." Mayor McClellan stated: "I would like to request the City Manager and our Tax Department staff to help us over the next few weeks, I know we face another deadline coming up on the 30th, to take all necessary steps to protect our interests on how we go about constituting that Board." =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 13, 1979 Motion Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council adopt a resolution to participate in the Travis County Appraisal District. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Mullen, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Mayor Pro Tem Cooke Noes: None LAKE AUSTIN INTERIM CONTROLS ORDINANCE Council had before it for second and third reading an ordinance amending Chapter 41 of the Austin City Code amending Lake Austin Interim Controls Ordinance providing for alternative impervious cover standards for subdivisions meeting certain conditions prior to January 15, 1979. The ordinance was read the second time and Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council waive the requirement for third reading and finally pass the ordinance. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Noes: Councilmembers Himmelblau, Snell, Mayor McClellan, Mayor Pro Tem Cooke, Councilmember Goodman Councilmembers Mullen, Trevino The Mayor announced that the ordinance had been finally passed. Council had before it for consideration amendments to Chapter 41 and Chapter 29 of the Austin City Code providing for amendments to the Lake Austin Interim Controls Ordinance. Councilmember Goodman stated the amendments, which follow, are purely housekeeping amendments and recommended their approval: Currently, a preliminary plan must indicate proposed cuts and fills. These amendments would require such an indication only where the proposed cut and fill is in excess of four feet. These amendments require that clearings for the temporary storage of spoils or construction equipment be restored in accordance with the erosion and sedimentation controls manual. They also require protection of the topsoil and existing vegetation. These amendments would increase the amount of fill allowed on a building site from three to four feet, except in those cases where the director of engineering approves a different amount as designated on a preliminary or final plat. These amendments would also exclude from this limitation fill placed under foundations with slides perpendicular to the ground, or with pier and beam construction. These amendments would exclude land within the building setback line from the calculation of the required 3,000 square feet building site. • CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 13, 1979 Driveway grades exceeding fourteen percent approved by the Engineering Department must be noted on the subdivision plat under these amendments. Under the requirements of erosion control and restoration, these amendments would require that vegetation be established and accepted by the Public Works Department before a project could be considered complete. These amendments would change Chapter 29 so that it is identical with Chapter 41 in that it would set different standards for lots in subdivisions having a preliminary plan approved prior to January 15, 1978 the effective date of the ordinance. Apparently this provision was inadvertently omitted from Chapter 29 when it was enacted. Motion Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council waive the requirement for three readings and finally pass an ordinance amending Chapter 41 and Chapter 29 of the Austin City Code providing for amendments to the Lake Austin Interim Controls Ordinance. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Trevino, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Mullen, Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Mayor Pro Tem Cooke, Councilmembers Goodman, Himmelblau Noes: None The Mayor announced that the ordinance had been finally passed. Councilmember Goodman stated that any matters left pending, and the issue of impervious cover can be taken up in October or November, rather than the end of December which had been discussed at the August 30th meeting. = CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 13, 1979 COST OF SERVICE (ELECTRIC) The City Manager Report concerning the Cost of Service in the Electric Rate Study was reviewed by Mr. Jorge Carrasco of the Electric Department. He said the report represents the second part of the Rate Study, which is the electric cost of service study. It will be followed by a report on the Development of Rate Tariffs and the final implementation of rates as part of the billing process. The purpose of the report was to take the system costs that were identified in the report and system revenue requirements and allocate those costs to all customer classes in the electric system. There was one fundamental assumption that was part of the cost allocation study and that was that we assumed that the recommended budget would be incorporated into this study. The final budget, of course, has not been approved. Once it is approved there may be changes that may require a reallocation of all system costs. Mr. Carrasco summarized the conclusions of the report as follows: "There are two considerations as a part of the report that need to be emphasized. One is that the same cost allocation methods used in the last rate study will follow in the development of this Cost of Service Report. In addition, in determining the revenue requirements from each of the customer classes, the report assumed a 1.4 rate of return differential for all commercial classes with the exception of the large primary service class. For this class the report assumed a 1.2 rate of return differential. This is a policy decision but in arriving at these recommendations there were two things kept in mind. In the case of the large primary service class a 1.4 rate of return differential would have resulted in a very unusual and adverse impact on that class. As a result, a 1.2 return differential was used for that class. If you consider the impacts on the different customer classes I would like to refer you to Table IV in your report. (He then discussed the Table.) "To summarize the reports recommendations, it is proposed the system revenue requirements, as incorporated in the budget, recommends the allocation of costs to the different customer classes using the same method employed in the earlier rate study. It recommends consideration of a rate of return differential of 1.4 for all commercial classes, except large primary service class which has a rate of return differential of 1.2. It also recommends adoption of the current customer classes that are currently a part of the rate structure. "There are a number of policy areas that need to be considered and acted upon before the development of rate tariffs. It is not possible that all these policy issues could be considered and acted upon by October 1st so that the new rates would go into effect. As a result, a transmittal memorandum that accompanied the report recommends the implementation of an interim rate adjustment that would go into effect October 1, 1979. Essentially, the interim rate adjustment would apply a factor in cents per KWH to the current rate so we would be able to generate the additional required revenues using the current rate structure. In order to be able to implement that adjustment by October 1st, Council is being asked to consider the concept of the interim rate adjustment today and to authorize the staff to proceed with the development of an interim rate ordinance that would be on the Council's agenda at the same time the Council considers the budget. That factor will be contingent on the level of the budget that is finally approved by Council." =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 13, 1979 Mr. Davidson, City Manager, said: "At the time Council considers the actual ordinance in adopting the budget, I'd like an opportunity to address some of those cuts because some of those could create some serious difficulties that people ought to know about. Today we're not asking you to make that judgement. We want authority to proceed and pursue with the ordinance so we can put it back on the agenda for the day you make your budget decision. Motion Mayor Pro Tem Cooke moved that the Council authorize the City Manager to proceed with the Ordinance concerning Cost of Electric Service. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Trevino, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Mayor Pro Tem Cooke, Councilmembers Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen Noes: None RAINEY STREET DELETED FROM URBAN RENEWAL PROJECT Councilmember Trevino moved that the Council direct staff to bring before Council on September 20, 1979, necessary documents and/or procedures to delete Rainey Street Neighborhood Area from the area designated as appropriate for an Urban Renewal Redevelopment Project. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmember Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Mayor Pro Tem Cooke, Councilmembers Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell Noes: None FUEL CONSERVATION TASK FORCE REPORT MR. BILL BULLOCH, Chairperson, Fuel Conservation Task Force, appeared before Council and reported on fuel conservation by the City of Austin. He reviewed the Task Forces proposal by use of slides. The plan is divided into three sections which include 12 policy measures relating to fuel conservation and fleet management; four measures requiring additional research and study; and the heart of the contingency plan which is composed of three annexes that correspond to fuel curtailment levels of 10-25-50%. The recommendations can be implemented individually as the situation dictates, or in increments commiserate with the severity of curtailments or cost increases. As with any preconceived plan of action, these recommendations should be reviewed and updated annually. When Mr. Bulloch finished his report, Councilmember Himmelblau commented on the excellence of the report. (REPORT IS ON FILE IN CITY CLERK'S OFFICE.) INDEPENDENT AUDIT OF SOUTH TEXAS PROJECT City Manager Davidson presented a report on the independent audit of South Texas Project and the Restructuring of Management Committee as requested by Mayor McClellan. He said, "On August 28 the Mayor asked that as soon as CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 13, 1979 possible I advise the Council on how we might pursue an independent audit of the South Texas Project. The Mayor wanted to determine if we were getting accurate and timely information from the project manager. The Mayor also indicated that the City should pursue this audit as a first step to any legal recourse that might be undertaken either with the other participants or on our own. (He then distributed a report.) The report I'm distributing today results from a number of things. First, I asked R. L. Hancock to develop a proposed format defining the type audits that we would recommend and also we approached the other South Texas participants and requested their concurrence and even participation. We found that there is agreement that extensive audit work should be undertaken and that there would be benefits to all the entities involved. The four categories of audit assessment are as follows: First, the Management Committee of the South Texas Project would select an engineering firm with national prominence in commercial domestic nuclear plant design, estimating and planning. They would be engaged to conduct a technical review and audit of the entire project. This review would include an evaluation of the project status, cost schedule analysis, as well as project management methods and organization. We're talking about a firm that in this case has had actual nuclear design and planning experience. The second audit recommended is that a national firm, a CPA type auditing firm would be engaged to immediately conduct an extensive financial and management audit of the project manager, at least management functions, of Houston Lighting and Power as pertains to the South Texas Project. This would cover an assessment of the project manager's compliance with the participation agreement; with compliance with accepted accounting procedures, auditing procedures and overall financial management of the project. The accuracy and reliability of financial reporting would be tested during this particular review. A third recommendation is that another nationally recognized auditing firm would be engaged on an immediate basis to undertake a thorough review of Brown & Root, Inc., in its capacity as engineer-constructor of the South Texas Project. That firm would take a look at records covering supplies and equipment inventories, and billing invoices. All of that would be assessed, along with every documentation effecting project cost and scheduling. Fourth, the finance and accounting sub-committees composed of participant representatives would conduct a detailed review of progress payment invoices submitted to each of the participants in concert with audits two and three that I have already described. "I'm pointing out that the audit activities described resulting from the Mayor's communication will be undertaken as a responsibility of the Management Committee, not a responsibility of the project manager. Resulting reports will be submitted directly to the Committee with an understanding that each of the participants will immediately provide copies to their respective governing bodies. While I am laying out what we consider to be a firm recommendation and while we have tentative approval on the part of other participants, there could be some changes to this format and if there are they will immediately be brought to the attention of Council. In connection with this particular report, I ask that if it is desired by the Council, that you consider a resolution approving Austin's participation in this extensive audit activity. In connection with costs, they would be prorated to each entity on the basis of percentage ownership of the project, which I think is the equitable way to handle it. If the Council could vote by motion or informal resolution, we will proceed to work with other participatns to insure that this kind of an audit procedure will be undertaken on an immediate basis." CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 13, 1979 Mayor McClellan said she likes the four categories and wants to make sure that as we proceed with the audit we have more than a 16% share in that part of it. She wants equal footing with all participants, and thinks it will be great if they share the cost with Austin. Councilmember Mullen said, "It may be hard to do, but I think it's necessary to do, so we don't go to anybody who has any financial gains to be made, like a major firm that does work for Houston Power and Light, Brown & Root...whoever." Mayor McClellan said, "Let's go get their competitors if need be." Councilmember Mullen said, "If Houston Power and Light gets this thing up so high that Austin and San Antonio wants out...they need energy very much and they don't have to answer to their owners like we have to answer to our owners. If we end up selling out because we or the voters finally get so disturbed, Houston Power and Light can finally take it over. I'm not saying this is what is happening but if there is some way for us to find out if there is even a possibility of this happening, or if we can find out there has been any foot dragging by HP&L, I'd like to know about it. I'm not saying at all that that's the case, but it certainly seems strange that it continues to stretch out so long." Mr. Davidson said it is his opinion such a thing would turn up if it were evident because by selecting a nationally prominent engineering firm it would be the kind of firm that has already engaged in the design and construction of other similar type facilities across this county that has had experience and they ought to know how long things take and the cost. It will be evident if there is some facet of the project which is unusual. Councilmember Mullen said, "I would like them to know we are looking for things like that and this is not a passive situation." Motion Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council approve an independent audit of the South Texas Project. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Himmelblau, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor McClellan, Mayor Pro Tem Cooke, Councilmembers Noes: Himmelblau, Mullen, Trevino None Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmembers Goodman, Snell Mr. Davidson resumed his report, and discussed the Restructuring of the Management Committee. He said on September 4th, "Mayor McClellan requested that I advise the Council as to how we should restructure the South Texas Management Committee so that it really would be a Management Committee. Se we undertook an immediate study of that and came to the conclusion that in connection with a stronger role concept, that the existing agreement already provided a latitude for increased involvement and decision making on the part of the participants. As a matter of fact we talked to the other participants and all of them, including Houston Lighting and Power are in agreement that increased participation would be beneficial to the project. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 13, 1979 "I believe that the Mayor's demand for a more direct role in the management of the project is certainly appropriate and I am initiating a number of actions to insure that Austin's role can be amplified in accordance with that concept. Effective immediately I'm notifying the Management Committee that our Finance Director, Monty Nitcholas, will function as Austin's alternate member. He will replace Assistant Utility Director H. L. Peterson who has served since the beginning of the project. I feel this will give us a finance and accounting perspective that is absolutely essential at this time. (2) A staff task force is going to be assembled to assist both Mr. Hancock and Mr. Nitcholas in scrutinizing the project estimates, all reports, audits, schedules and projections to insure that appropriate criticism, suggestions and proposals can emanate from the Austin delegation. (3) I've instructed Mr. Hancock to temporarily rearrange departmental resources and assignments so that he and his staff can participate more directly in the project and until the City Council has been provided with definitive information on the latest project cost and schedule I directed Mr. Hancock to organize his reponsibilities so he can allocate a maximum amount of his time to this particular issue. Through Mr. Hancock and Mr. Nitcholas, I'm requesting the Management Committee to conduct meetings on a more frequent basis and in some cases for longer duration to insure more involvement and a stronger role of participants can be brought to bear in the project." He went on to say he is requesting improved reporting procedures with frequent distribution of progress reports to each governing body. Motion Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council endorse the restructuring of the Management Committee. The motion, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Cooke, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Pro Tem Cooke, Councilmembers Goodman, Himmelblau, Noes: Mullen, Trevino, Mayor McClellan None Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmember Snell Councilmember Goodman wondered what had happened to the audit that he and Mayor Pro Tem Cooke had asked for a year ago. Mayor Pro Tem Cooke reminded him at that time the City Manager had wanted a national firm to do the audit, but the Council did not. They wanted the staff to do the audit. Mr. Davidson said that at that time he had recommended Stone and Webster. Councilmember Goodman said there has just been too much cost overrun and asked that the City continue to explore legal recourse. RECESS Council recessed its meeting at 6:00P.M. and resumed its recessed meeting at 7:18 P.Μ. -CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 13, 1979 PUBLIC HEARING CANCELLED The Public Hearing scheduled for 6:00 p.m. on the Property Tax Rate was cancelled. PUBLIC HEARING ON 1979-80 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM Mayor McClellan opened the public hearing scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on the 1979-80 Capital Improvements Program. The Mayor said the program totalled $580.2 million with $404 million allocated to utilities and $175 million for general government programs. General obligation bonds covered most of the general government program for FY 79-80. Bonding authority was required for water and wastewater capital programs. The Planning Commission had recommended a 3-year $77.8 million bond program for water and wastewater. With the existing bonding authority and anticipated revenue transfers, the electric conven- tional program was funded for FY 79-80. MARY ALICE BROWN, President, University Hills Homeowners Association, said that there were no 1979-80 projects scheduled for northeast Austin. She requested that a fire station for northeast Austin be placed back into the 197980 CIP (Capital Improvements Program). She asked that replacement of the Windsor Village Library be in 1979-80 instead of 1981-82. She asked for improvements for the Northeast District Park to include a swimming pool. She pointed out that Dottie Jordan Park was a neighborhood park, but was not purchased initially as a City park. After reading a guest viewpoint written by the City Manager in reference to promises made relating to bond elections, Mrs. Brown commented on some literature used to promote bond elections and asked that responsiblities be taken more seriously toward citizens. Councilmember Himmelblau asked if the City had not applied for matching funds for a swimming pool at Walnut Creek Park. Daron Butler said that it was his understanding that the City either had or intended to apply for a grant for the pool. BO BYERS, President, Tennis Advisory Board, and Executive Director, Capital Area Tennis Association, expressed concern over long range financing for a new tennis center. He felt that money which had been designated would in no way build the 32-court tennis center which has been planned. It will finance only 16 courts, the pro shop and restrooms. The $700,000 was inadequate when it was first proposed. VINCENT GILES, Craigwood Neighborhood Association, is concerned about whether or not there will be a Northeast District Park. Money was allocated in the 1975-80 CIP but it does not include a swimming pool. DAVID BROWNLEE, Pecan Springs, supports the views of Vincent Giles and expressed concern about the lack of a fire station in northeast Austin. He thinks the funds should be allocated for one. DICK SHAW, representing North Oaks Neighborhood Association, requested a branch library be opened in their area. He thinks the Central Library is great, but requests the services be extended to their area. If they can't have a branch library, then he asked that Bookmobile service be retained. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS September 13, 1979 BETTY BROWN, representing Barton Hills Neighborhood Association and the Zilker Posse, spoke in opposition to the South Austin outfall. She asked for a 180-day moratorium. She spoke to the Barton Creek Growth Management Plan and said to furnish sewers to the whole watershed is ill-advised. JEAN MATHER, speaking for Travis Audubon Society, read a letter in which deletion of the following was requested: South Austin Outfall, Martin Hill Reservoir, Bee Caves Reservoir, and the Southwest District Main. DR. MERWIN JOHNSON, Pecan Springs Integrated Neighborhood Association, spoke in support of a Northeast fire station and a branch library. RODDY SEGINS spoke about the Growth Management Plan. DIANNE DEBOIS, representing the Save Barton Creek organization, said there are serious implications concerning the South Austin Outfall. She spoke against the Southwest District Main, Bee Caves Reservoir, and Martin Hill Reservoir. MERLE MODENA, University Hills Neighborhood Association, spoke in favor of a northeast Austin library and fire station. Mr. Daron Butler, Budget Director, stated the money for the fire station is still in the CIP for 80-81. The Planning Commission recommended the delay. Councilmember Snell said the only fire station that has been deleted is in East Austin and he is glad to see Northeast Austin speaking up. He thought they, like other areas, should get some of the things they are asking for. There was further discussion on this between Councilmembers and the Mayor. KEN MANNING, Sierra Club, showed a map of water projects. He said a look at the overall system shows it to be inappropriate. JACKIE BLOCH, West Austin Neighborhood Group, supported Ken Manning. She expressed concern regarding the South Austin Outfall, Southwest District Main, and the Bee Caves and Martin Hill Reservoirs. BILLY BESS SAUSTER expressed concern over the Barton Springs area, and the multi-apartment complexes that have been allowed.
