MR. L. FREDRIK BUSS, Senior Vice President Planning and Public Affairs, appeared before Council and read the following news release which had been sent to local papers: Lamar Savings is pleased to announce the creation of a new facility for the Austin Public Library in its North Oaks branch. With final approval of the Austin City Council Thursday, this new innovation in savings and loan public service will be launched on Research Boulevard at Spicewood Springs. The lobby of Lamar's branch at North Oaks Village in far Northwest Austin will be a mini branch of the City's library, This will be the first regular library in the country to operate in a savings and loan lobby. STANLEY ADAMS, President and Chairman of Lamar Savings Association said, "There are many innovations required in our society if the public is to be genuinely served." This is certainly true in the savings and loan industry. We are proud that Lamar's new Executive Vice President, Jim Wright, first initiated the inquiry as to how we might be of aid to this City's fine library. It is especially pleasing to offer this service to Austin's rapidly growing Northwest corridor, in that the City's budget curtailment has required canceling the area's Bookmobile service. Mr. Adams also added. "Lamar is happy October 11, 1979 =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS to work with the City of Austin in providing this facility to those we mutually serve. This cooperation is an authentic illustration of how business and government can work together to reduce expenditures while maintaining services." This new library branch will be open Monday through Friday until 5:30 and until 4:00 on Saturdays. Councilmember Cooke commented the opening of the branch library is an excellent example of the private sector working with the public.

CONTRACT AUTHORIZATION AUSTIN REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY Council had before it for consideration the authorization to contract with the Austin Redevelopment Authority for the period October 1, 1979 through September 30, 1980. Mr. Carlos Herrera, Director of Human Services, stated his department has been working closely with ARA on their budget request for this year. They concur with Mr. Knickerbocker of ARA in recommending a $2,651,298.00 budget. CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS October 11, 1979 Mr. Buck Apelt, Human Services Department, stated: "The recommendation to operate the program with 175 standard rehab unit level is for $191,348.00 additional. This would come out of fifth year contingency." Councilmember Trevino pointed out that ARA had given back to the city $300,000 and now the city is being asked to give them back $200,000. Mr. Knickerbocker said the reason the money was turned back to the city was that between October and January of last year there was no activity on the part of the agency because contracts were not completed either with the city or the architects who do all of the write-up work. That represented the $300,000 that would have normally been expended. He said they do not anticipate a recurrence of anything like that in the future, so their current abilities would allow them to meet this goal fully which they have worked with the Human Services and which they are in agreement with. He said they have had an aggressive campaign to solicit more contractors. They have set an attempt to do 30 contracts a month now and hope by mid-summer to be back to Council to let them know the goals have been completed and they will be ready to carry on with additional funds for the fourth quarter. Councilmember Snell stated: "After I looked over the corridor project and this year's CDBG program, I'd like to make the statement that we need a plan for implementation before these funds should be released by the Council. I've been working with businesses on East 11th and East 12th Streets for the past year trying to bring forth improvements needed in that area and I believe it's time for specific plans to be drawn as to building improvement, construction for new business, street lighting and other physical improvements." Motion Councilmember Snell moved that the Council adopt a resolution to contract with the Austin Redevelopment Authority for the period October 1, 1979 through September 30, 1980; and the Austin Redevelopment Authority be authorized to design detailed plans for East 11th to be known as the St. Joseph Development Area and that the $25,000 approved in the 5th year program for policy planning management capacity be included in that new contract. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Cooke. Councilmember Trevino asked if these are additional monies or if they are monies that have already been authorized to be utilized for a design. Mr. Knickerbocker answered they are additional funds from another element of the Block Grant Program that ARA would be asked to manage and carry out the task. Councilmember Cooke said that his thinking in seconding the motion is that the $25,000 would come out of the currently appropriated monies for the corridor's project. Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau said this has to be stated so there is a record of it and said, "It's to come out of the corridor allocation?" Councilmember Snell answered, "Exactly right." CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXASOctober 11, 1979 Mr. Knickerbocker showed slides of some of the houses which the Austin Redevelopment Authority has rehabilitated. Councilmember Cooke said there had been problems with Urban Renewal but felt there is a positive step forward, not just in the change of name from Urban Renewal to Austin Redevelopment Authority but also cited staff changes and new members to the Board which will create exciting and encouraging things from the agency. Roll Call on Motion Roll call on the motion to contract with the Austin Redevelopment Authority for the period October 1, 1979 through September 30, 1980, showed the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau, Councilmembers Mullen, Snell, Trevino, Cooke, Goodman Noes: None Absent: Mayor McClellan PAVING ASSESSMENTS Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau opened the public hearing scheduled for 10:00 A.M. on the Paving Assessments to be levied on the following under the Capital Improvements Program, and the passage of ordinances: St. Elmo Road covering approximately 6 blocks. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS NO. 78/62-04. Community Development District #37, covering approximately 33 3/4 blocks. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM NO. 75/62-20. Mr. John German, Director of Public Works, reviewed the assessments for St. Elmo, covering approximately 6 blocks. Then, Mr. James Riggs, Assistant City Attorney, questioned the appraiser, Mr. Tom Wiley concerning his qualifications as an appraiser and referred to Mr. Wiley's appraisal report of the property. Mr. Riggs instructed that Mr. Wiley's report shall be on record in the City Clerk's office. No one appeared to be heard. In his review Mr. German stated his department recommended a lower enhanced value be set on parcels 1, 5 and 18 of the report. Mr. Wiley's assessment was greater than the enhancement and so the city will take the lower figure. The same will be true of values in the 33 3/4 blocks of District #7. Where the enhancement is lower than the assessment, the lower figure will be used. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 11, 1979 Motion Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE CLOSING THE HEARING GIVEN TO THE REAL AND TRUE OWNERS OF PROPERTY ABUTTING UPON SUNDRY STREETS IN THE CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS, WITHIN THE LIMITS HEREINAFTER DEFINED, AS TO SPECIAL BENEFITS TO ACCRUE TO SAID PROPERTY AND THE REAL AND TRUE OWNERS THEROF BY VIRTUE OF THE IMPROVEMENT OF SAID STREET WITHIN SAID LIMITS, AND AS TO ANY ERRORS, INVALIDITIES OR IRREGULARITIES IN ANY OF THE PROCEEDINGS OR CONTRACT THEREFOR; FINDING AND DETERMINING THAT EACH AND EVERY PARCEL OF PROPERTY ABUTTING UPON SAID STREETS WITHIN THE LIMITS DEFINED WILL BE SPECIALLY BENEFITED AND ENHANCED IN VALUE IN EXCESS OF THE AMOUNT OF THE COST OF SAID IMPROVEMENTS PROPOSED TO BE, AND AS, ASSESSED AGAINST SAID ABUTTING PROPERTY AND THE REAL AND TRUE OWNERS THEREOF, AND LEVYING AN ASSESSMENT FOR THE PAYMENT OF A PORTION OF THE COST OF IMPROVING SAID STREETS WITHIN THE LIMITS DEFINED; FIXING A CHARGE AND LIEN AGAINST ALL SAID ABUTTING PROPERTIES, AND THE REAL AND TRUE OWNERS THEREOF; PROVIDING FOR THE MANNER AND METHOD OF COLLECTION OF SAID ASSESSMENTS AND THE RECEIPT FOR PAYMENT OF AND RELEASE OF LIEN ON THE SAME; DECLARING AN EMERGENCY; AND PROVIDING THAT THIS ORDINANCE SHALL BECOME EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY UPON ITS PASSAGE.

Mr. German then reviewed the assessments for Community Development District $7, covering approximately 33 3/4 blocks. Mr. Riggs questioned Mr. Sladek Jr. regarding his qualifications as an appraiser and referred to Mr. Sladek's appraisal report of the property. Mr. Riggs instructed that Mr. Sladek 's report shall be on record in the City Clerk's office. Mr. Sladek stated that of the 170 parcels, five were not enhanced by paving. VELMA LEE appeared before Council to state that the assessment is too much and wondered how she could pay the bill. She felt there was no enhancement to her property. Mr. German said Mr. Sladek had lowered this assessment to $750.00. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 11, 1979 JUDITH RYE, caseworker for the Department of Human Services, appeared representing Clara Reed. She said the assessment of $700.00 is too much, because Ms. Reed's property is not enhanced that much. She lives on $240 a month Social Security and cannot pay. Also, the paving was completed, leaving a five foot drop with only dirt exposed. It will wash away in a heavy rain. Mr. German told Ms. Rye the assessment had originally been $1,496 and the city had reduced it to $700.00. Mr. Davidson, City Manager, asked Mr. German if he is familiar with the drop on Ms. Reed's property. Mr. German said he was not, but would check it out, and informed Ms. Rye that if Ms. Reed's property is homesteaded, she need not take any action, and that Mr. German will be happy to discuss the payment for the assessment with her. Robert Hill appeared and asked what the lowest terms for payment is which he can get. Mr. German told him his assessment had been reduced from $643 to $405. Mr. Hill indicated there was some problem with his checks from his employer. Mr. Davidson advised him not to discuss it in public, but to talk to his attorney...but he should talk to Mr. German regarding the assessment. MRS. BEN MITCHELL, 3601 East 12th Street, asked how she can pay the assessment of $368 on the appraisal. Mr. German said he will be happy to discuss it with her. Motion Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE CLOSING THE HEARING GIVEN TO THE REAL AND TRUE OWNERS OF PROPERTY ABUTTING UPON SUNDRY STREETS IN THE CITY OF AUSTIN, WITHIN THE LIMITS HEREINAFTER DEFINED, AS TO SPECIAL BENEFITS TO ACCRUE TO SAID PROPERTY AND THE REAL AND TRUE OWNERS THEREOF BY VIRTUE OF THE IMPROVEMENT OF SAID STREETS WITHIN SAID LIMITS, AND AS TO ANY ERRORS, INVALIDITIES OR IRREGULARITIES IN ANY OF THE PROCEEDINGS OR CONTRACT THEREFOR; FINDING AND DETERMINING THAT EACH AND EVERY PARCEL OF PROPERTY ABUTTING UPON SAID STREETS WITHIN THE LIMITS DEFINED WILL BE SPECIALLY BENEFITED AND ENHANCED IN VALUE IN EXCESS OF THE AMOUNT OF THE COST OF SAID IMPROVEMENTS PROPOSED TO BE, AND AS, ASSESSED AGAINST SAID ABUTTING PROPERTY AND THE REAL AND TRUE OWNERS THEREOF, AND LEVYING AN ASSESSMENT FOR THE PAYMENT OF A PORTION OF THE COST OF IMPROVING SAID STREETS WITHIN THE LIMITS DEFINED; FIXING A CHARGE AND LIEN AGAINST ALL SAID ABUTTING PROPERTIES, AND THE REAL AND TRUE OWNERS THEREOF; PROVIDING FOR THE MANNER AMD METHOD OF COLLECTION OF SAID ASSESSMENTS AND THE RECEIPT FOR PAYMENT OF AND RELEASE OF LIEN ON THE SAME; DECLARING AN EMERGENCY; AND PROVIDING THAT THIS ORDINANCE SHALL BECOME EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY UPON ITS PASSAGE.

REPORT ON DRAINAGE EASEMENT RELEASES Mr. German, Director of Public Works, gave the following City Manager Report on processing request for Drainage Easement Releases: At the November 20, 1975 Council Meeting, Mayor Friedman suggested that property owners within 200' of a drainage easement being considered for release be furnished a notice similar to that distributed on zoning cases. This action resulted from a complaint received from a Mrs. Cunningham regarding the moving of a house onto a vacant lot on Miles Avenue in South Austin on which a drainage easement had been released. • -CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 11, 1979 Since then the Public Works Department has been sending notices as suggested. I have questioned the merits of continuing this policy since it does require extensive research of property rolls to determine owners, preparation of letters and maps explaining the request and mailing. In reviewing the files, there are only two instances where neighboring property owners have appeared at the Council meeting in opposition to the re- lease of a drainage easement over the past two years. There are a few more cases where calls were made to my office for information. On most cases property owners questioned why the City sent them notifications when they are not involved. Personnel in the Engineering and Public Works Departments now review requests to release drainage easements very carefully, and wherever a drainage problem has existed or been reported in the past, these matters are resolved be- fore the release is presented to the City Council for consideration. Based on this analysis, I recommend that we eliminate the written notice to notify adjacent property owners. This would reduce administrative processing, speed up the action by the City on these matters, and reduce costs for notices and mailing. In my opinion, there would not be any negative effect resulting from this change. Mr. Davidson, City Manager, said this is one of the policy revisions he is recommending. As revisions are suggested by departments, they will be brought to Council for their consideration. Councilmember Snell asked if this could be tried on a six month trial basis because usually complaints are not received until notification procedure is dropped. Mr. Davidson stated he will monitor this very closely. Motion Councilmember Cooke moved that the Council eliminate sending a written notice to adjacent property owners within 200' of a drainage easement being considered for release. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Snell, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau, Councilmembers Snell, Trevino Noes: None Absent: Mayor McClellan Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmember Mullen CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 11, 1979 SINGLE PERMIT SYSTEM Mr. Davidson, City Manager, introduced a report on "Single Permit System" and stated: "This is a recommendation we take a great deal of pride in because of the improvement in efficiency, improvement as far as exposure to the public and contractors are concerned." Mr. Lonnie Davis, Director of Building Inspection reported as follows: Identified as one of this department's goals for FY 79-80, the "Single Permit" system is being proposed for implementation during the month of October. This system will combine all existing construction permits, i.e., building, electrical, plumbing and mechanical work under one standardize permit function. Because of the high degree of technical difference in the four basic trades comprising most municipal Building Inspection Departments, it was natural that different methods evolve pertaining to the methodology of issuing and controlling permits for construction for all work associated with the aforementioned trades. The bottom line is that the permitting process within these entities are often different, and somewhat confusing to the average customer, whether the person be contractor or homeowner. This confusion caused many problems and often frustration on their part. Additionally, it has caused a duplication of effort on the part of the staff and the generation of a myriad of paperwork to ultimately support this type operation. It is generally agreed among building officials that the best approach to eliminating this problem is the conversion to a "Single Permit" system and the adoption of a permit fee schedule based on a square foot basis. There are several advantages to this approach. First, it standardizes the departments function whereas only one system is used. Secondly, it will eliminate the redundancy of clerical functions along with reducing the total number of pieces of paperwork from 16 to 5, giving support to Council's policy of reducing paperwork when possible while maintaining the same level of service. Lastly, with the introduction of a fee schedule based on square footage, the various trade inspectors will no longer be required to count electrical outlets, plumbing fixtures or determine heating and air contitioning BTU's to fix a permit fee as presently done. This inspector will have more time to concentrate on a more thorough and quality inspection. Additionally, contractors and homeowners will know in advance the permit fee amount. This is a great advantage to contractors for project planning. Roy Hiller, Building Inspection Department, then reviewed the present system and compared it to the new system proposed. He said they request a 7% increase over the presently used fee schedule and think the new system will eliminate redundant clerical work and simplify the whole procedure. Councilmember Mullen expressed his approval of the idea and stated he thought it very important for each department to cut down on duplication in order to save money and paper work. Mr. Davidson said he wanted to publicity compliment Mr. Davis. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 11, 1979 Motion Councilmember Cooke moved that the Council approve the concept of a Single Permit System. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Mullen, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau, Councilmembers Mullen, Snell, Trevino Noes: None Absent: Mayor McClellan PUBLIC HEARING ON PERMIT FOR BOAT DOCK Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau oppened a public hearing scheduled for 11:00 A.M. on an appeal from Eddie and Glen Hanseler on the decision of the Building Official not to issue a permit for the construction of a dock extending beyond 30' into Lake Austin. Mr. Leonard Ehrler, Director of Parks and Recreation, said "This came to us from the Building Inspection Department and was brought to attention of staff and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. On review of that, because of failure to comply with those building inspection standards, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board denied the request that this be approved. We still feel comfortable with the recommendations made by the Building Inspection Department and our security staff." Mr. Hanseler appeared before Council and apologized for having gone about the building of a dock in the wrong way and not obtaining a permit first. He showed slides which depicted why a variance is needed. The water near the shore of Mr. Hanseler's property is very shallow and in order to dock a boat the dock should extend further than 30'. He pointed out that the dock next to his extends to 56'. Councilmember Cooke commented that the building of the dock was improperly done, and he feels either the Council should allow a variance for Mr. Hanseler, or require the 56' dock next to his to be cut back. Because there is a sand bar near the lakeshore property, the lighting on the dock is a safety feature for other boaters, and therefore feels the variance is proper. Motion Councilmember Cooke moved that the Council close the public hearing and issue a permit for the dock of Eddie and Glen Hanseler and waive the 30' extension, allowing the dock to extend 46 and subject to complaince with Mr. Davis' memo. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmember Goodman, Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau, Councilmembers Mullen, Snell, Trevino, Cooke Noes: None Absent: Mayor McClellan October 11, 1979 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS HISTORIC ZONING APPLICATION FEE SCHEDULE Councilmember Mullen introduced an item from Council to consider adopting a regular zoning fee schedule for Historic Zoning Applications filed by non-owners. He asked the City Manager to come back to Council with a suggested fee schedule. Mr. Davidson said he would so. REQUEST FOR ZONING ROLL BACK Councilmember Mullen introduced an item from Council requesting the Planning Commission to begin consideration of a roll back in zoning from "A" to "AA" residence 1st Height and Area within and surrounding the triangle formed by Laurel Canyon Drive as it extends south and east of Crestway Drive, as requested by residents. Mr. Mullen, stated: "We have a petition signed by residents that again asks to keep from having higher intensity housing in the area, because it is all residence at the present time, and they want this rolled back. We need to send this to the Planning Commission and come back to Council." Motion Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council request the Planning Commission to begin consideration of a roll back in zoning from "A" to "AA" residence 1st Height and Area within and surrounding the triangle formed by Laurel Canyon Drive as it extends south and east of Crestway Drive, as requested by resident. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau, Councilmembers Mullen, Snell, Mullen, Cooke, Goodman Noes: None Absent: Mayor McClellan MAILING POLICY Councilmembers Himmelblau and Mullen introduced an item from Council to consider adopting a policy that agendas for any Boards, Commissions or Council Meetings not be mailed out unless a stamped, self addressed envelope is furnished. This is being suggested due to constraints of the budget. Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau stated: "This is what the Clerk's office does when they mail the agenda out and I would like this to be a policy for all Boards and Commissions in order to cut down on the mailing costs to the City of Austin." Councilmember Trevino asked how much money is involved. City Clerk Grace Monroe said her office mails out 70 agendas each week, with each agenda requiring at least two stamps. The mumber of requests is growing, but the public is required to provide the Clerk's office with a stamped, self addressed October 11, 1979 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS envelope. The Planning Commission sends out about 120 agendas, in addition to notices which go out. At this time the Planning Department furnishes the stamps and pay for the envelopes and pay for someone to type the envelopes. She said the Electric Utility Board now wants to do the same thing as the Planning Commission so this is something that grows and grows. Mrs. Monroe stated she does not feel the City Clerk's office should be under one policy while Boards and Commissions do it for free. She said it should be a consistent policy, and when it is all added together it amounts to several thousands of dollars. Councilmember Trevino said that if it were a small amount he may not support it, but when the amount runs into the thousands then he is for it. Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau stated: "We did this with our own agenda through Craces office back in 1976 and this cut down costs considerably." Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau asked Mrs. Monroe to notify the Boards and Commissions regarding the mailing policy. Motion Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council adopt a policy that agendas for any Boards, Commissions, or Council Meetings will not be mailed out unless a stamped, self addressed envelope is furnished. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Mullen, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau, Councilmembers Mullen, Snell, Trevino, Cooke, Goodman Noes: None Absent: Mayor McClellan RECESS Council recessed its meeting at 11:25 and resumed its recessed meeting at 2:10 P.M. BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau announced the following Board and Commission appointments should be made on October 18, 1979: - Community Development Commission - 2 Airport Zoning Board 1 Plumbing Advisory Board - 1 Employee's Retirement System 1 Wrecker Standards Commission 1 On-Going of Goals Assembly Committee 1 (zone 3) Manpower Advisory Planning Council 15 MH/MR Board - 2 Arts Commission - 5 Building Standards Commission - 1 Construction Advisory Committee 3 Human Relations Commission - 1 Urban Transportation Commission Electric Utility Commission 3 1 Hospital Board 3 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 11, 1979 In addition, the following have been announced for appointment on November 1. Human Relations Commission 7 Commission on the Status of Women 1 Vending Commission 1 PUBLIC HEARING ALLEY VACATION Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau opened the public hearing scheduled for 2:00 P.M. which was the continuation of a hearing on vacating a portion of an alley and passage of the Ordinance. Mr. German showed slides and reminded Council this hearing had been continued from last week when a question had arisen regarding whether or not the alley had ever been opened past Mr. Morgan's property. It was clearly shown that the alley had never been opened. No one appeared to be heard. Motion Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE VACATING AND PERPETUALLY CLOSING THAT CERTAIN PORTION OF LAMAR BOULEVARD ALLEY, IN THE CITY OF AUSTIN, TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS; SUSPENDING THE RULE REQUIRING THE READING OF AN ORDINANCE ON THREE SEPARATE DAYS; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. (Requested by William T. Carlisle for Dr. E. Richard Parker, owner) Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council close the public hearing, waive the requirement for three readings and finally pass the ordinance. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau, Noes: Councilmembers Mullen, Snell, Trevino None Absent: Mayor McClellan The Mayor Pro Tem announced that the Ordinance had been finally passed. INVESTMENT OF MUNICIPAL FUNDS Mr. Norman Barker, Director of Finance, presented the City Manager's report on Investment of Idle Municipal Funds for Fiscal Year 1978-79, as follows: The City of Austin earned $14,928,666 in interest income during the fiscal year just ended. This was distributed in accordance with Schedule 1, attached. The average rate of return for all invested money was 8.96%. For comparison, the City earned in interest income $4,906,883 in 1974-75;$4,306,816 in 1975-76. - CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 11, 1979 $5,404,935 in 1976-77; and $7,854,030 in 1977-78. Yield on investments rose from 6.82% to 8.96%. A general summary of investment results for the five years ended September 30, 1979 is attached as Schedule 2. For comparative purposes, the $14,928,666 interest income received in fiscal year 1978-79 is equal to 34% of all the interest paid on the City's tax and revenue bonds; to 95% of all the sales tax collected; to 376% of all the garbage collections; to 53% of all the hospital revenues; and to 78% of all the revenue derived from water service to 103,000 water customers. The City maintained an invested position of 99.18% of all available funds, which we consider good utilization of money when it is considered the City of Austin disbursed through the Accounts Payable Fund more than $429,137,000, or an average of more than $1,703,000 each working day. The investments of the City are varied in accordance with the following general format: Certificates of Deposit are purchased in all Austin, Texas banks on a ratio as determined by the Austin Clearing House Association and are related to the ratios of their capital accounts. All Certificates of Deposit are collateralized with the collateral held by separate banks with the City holding joint custody. Approximately every two weeks the City will take bids on interest rates from the major banks and investment houses; however, this interest rate is available to all local banks. The lowest rate acceptable by the City is U.S. Treasury Bill rate for the appropriate period of the investment time plus 25 basis points, which rates fluctuate daily. The City of Austin also invests its money in United States Treasury Bills, Notes and Bonds, United States Government Guaranteed Agencies, and Repurchase Agreements backed by United States government securities. The City has no demand balance minimums, no compensatory balances, and maintains no cash except in the operating bank. The City pays no fees for servicing accounts except bond and coupon redemption, and safekeeping fees for the City's Retirement Fund and the Firemen's Retirement Fund. The City of Austin has a responsibility to conserve and invest City of Austin temporary funds as well as the two funds which comprise the City of Austin Employees Retirement and Pension Fund and the City of Austin State Firemen's Relief and Retirement Fund. The two retirement funds are on a calendar year basis and are reported separately at that time. The following statistics are based on month-end balances and therefore are "simple" rather than weighted" averages. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 1979, an average of $166,523,969 was invested. This compares with an average invested balance for the previous year of $115,243,336. These investments varied from a low of $95,215,215 to a high of $209,409,589. We ended the year with a balance invested of $179,667,660. Attached is a schedule of the investments for the year by dollar amount (Schedule 3). As you can see from the attached investment sheet, approximately 31% of all invested monies was in Certificates of Deposit with Austin banks, and 69% in all other type investments. _CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 11, 1979 Mr. Davidson addressed Council by saying, "Mayor and Council, because of the extraordinary job that I think Mr. Barker has done in managing these idle funds I thought it appropriate to have this reported today publicly so that everyone would know exactly what the investment income amounts to." RECESS Council recessed its meeting at 2:25 and resumed its recessed meeting at 2:25 P.Μ. ZONING HEARING Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau opened the public hearing set for 2:30 Ρ.Μ. on the following applications. Pursuant to published notice thereof, the following zonings were publicly heard: BELL AVENUE AREA STUDY Tract 14 11879-11877 U.S. 183 Tract 14 By Planning Department C14-79-044 From Interim "AA" Residence 1st Height and Area To "GR" General Retail 1st Height and Area NOT Recommended RECOMMENDED by the Planning Commission "0" Office, 1st Height and Area for both tracts, subject to U.S. 183 recommendations. Mr. Lillie reviewed the application and stated this is the last of the Bell and 183 zoning cases initiated by the City. This tract of land has a car wash and "GR" zoning is needed in order to legalize the use. Joe Ternus, Director of Urban Transportation, told Council that two years ago a plan to protect the neighborhood had been approved by Council by closing of an entrance to 183 and the opening of Tweed Court. This plan met with neighborhood approval. In addition, buffering and access controls were suggested as part of any future zoning. He continued: "We have met with representatives of the neighborhood and with the applicant, and I have three conditions we would like to suggest that should be a part of the zoning for lot 6 and 7." 1. No access provided between these tracts and Bell Avenue. 2. A 6' privacy fence would be constructed and maintained by the applicant along the existing and the future right-of-way line between Bell Avenue and these tracts. 3. The applicant initiate procedures to vacate Bell Avenue from Conrad to 183. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 11, 1979 "In addition to that there are two other items we feel should be considered. A carry over of the vacation is that that vacation procedure be followed through with by the City, various Boards and Commissions and then eventually by the City Council. Second, that the reconstruction of the Bell Avenue-Conrad Road intersection and the construction of Tweed Court be expedited. We now have an approved CIP the Council had authorized with preliminary plans and we feel like the plans should be completed within a month. The project should be finished within 6-9 months. Lastly, that the portion of Bell Avenue that would be vacated would remain open. We would not remove asphalt and put in turf. We also recognize that some of this needs to be done in sequences. For example there is a portion of the privacy fence that would be between the tracks and the existing right of way, whereas that right of way line would change after Bell Avenue is vacated. So that portion of the fence would have to be added at a future date after the vacation. The vacation could not occur until the city has its construction project at Tweed Court opened up so these items would need to be done in three separate phases. I don't believe that would cause problems to either the neighborhood or the applicant." Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau asked what would keep the traffic off the street if it is vacated but the pavement is not taken up. He said traffic from the car wash would be able to use this segment to exit out of the car wash or could enter on it, but it would not mix with the Bell Avenue that would remain with the residential part. Mr. Don Bird, representing the property owners, asked that "GR" be limited to the existing use and the rest should be "0". He said the car wash owner wants to upgrade the facility. There will be no curb cuts on Bell and a 6' privacy fence will be erected along the length of the property abutting on Bell Avenue. Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau asked if the zoning request is for only the area where the improved car wash will be, or the whole lot. Mr. Bird said it could be defined as "save and except western 100' of Lot 6, and Lot 7, and the rest "0", and a privacy fence." He also said the new structure will not be opened until after the first of the year. Councilmember Cooke pointed out this does not comply with the recently adopted 183 policy and asked if there was no way it could be zoned and continue as a car wash other than "GR". Mr. Bird said the only reason this has been put before Council was because it was a non-conforming use now. MARIE MOORE, a neighborhood resident, said they are still concerned the zoning change will present a dominoe effect. JERRY ROSE, a neighborhood resident, expressed his concern because the car wash was erected just prior to the zoning. He too does not want a dominoe effect. CORY BUEHLER, neighborhood representative, is concerned because he thinks the car wash increased traffic by 50% and wants to keep a low commercial profile for the neighborhood. Councilmember Mullen told him that the proposal to build a new structure is better than what they now have. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 11, 1979 Councilmember Cooke wondered how the city and private sector could synchronize their road work and building construction. Mr. Ternus said he would do everything possible as quickly as possible. After some discussion, Mr. Bird said the car wash could be held back 6 months for the opening of Tweed Court. ALLEN HALL appeared to state "GR" will set a precedent and be a bad impact on their small subdivision of 31 homes. SUSAN ZUKOR expressed her dismay at the opening of the car wash just prior to annexation. Councilmember Mullen expressed Council's concern for the zoning and said he really felt the best thing for the neighborhood is to grant "GR". Motion Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council close the public hearing, grant "GR" General Retail for the car wash site, the remainder to be "0" Office, which is described as western 100' of lots 6 and 7; no access to Bell Avenue; new facility will not open for six months. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmember Goodman, Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau, Councilmembers Noes: Mullen, Snell, Trevino Councilmember Cooke Absent: Mayor McClellan The Mayor Pro Tem announced that the change had been granted to "GR" General Retail and "0" Office, subject to conditions, and the City Attorney was instructed to draw the necessary ordinance to cover. HONEYSUCKLE ROSE Motion Councilmember Trevino moved that the Council give their support in response to the request for same from Mr. Wally Samson, Unit Production Manager, Warner Brothers, Inc., during the filming of "Honeysuckle Rose". The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmember Goodman, Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau, Councilmembers Mullen, Snell, Trevino, Cooke Noes: None Absent: Mayor McClellan CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 11, 1979 TAX APPEALS CASE SET MR. C.Q. DAVIS requested to appear before Council under Citizens Communications to discuss property located in Southwest Austin. He wanted to make a tax appeal, but since he was listed under Citizens Communications Council could not hear his case and set November 8, 1979 at 2:00 P.M. to listen to his tax appeal. TOMBSTONE HEIGHT AT MEMORIAL PARK CEMETERY MRS. GEORGE WEIDMANN appeared before Council to discuss height of tombstone at Memorial Park Cemetery. Her husband died in November of 1977. Since then the height of a tombstone has been regulated and she had selected a headstone which exceeded the height. Since the lot was acquired in 1977 and the ordinance change was adopted in 1978, she asked for an exception so she can erect the tombstone of her choice. After some discussion regarding the grandfathering of this, it was decided there could be an exception because the burial took place in 1977. Motion Counci Imember Mullen moved that the Council grant exception to the Cemetery Ordinance governing tombstone height and allow Mrs. George Weidmann to erect the tombstone of her choice. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Mullen, Trevino, Cooke, Goodman, Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau Noes: None Absent: Mayor McClellan Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmember Snell Councilmember Trevino pointed out that since this exception has been granted, Council will probably receive more requests. EXEMPTION FROM BARTON CREEK MORATORIUM REQUESTED MR. THOMAS B. WATTS appeared before Council to request a resolution exempting the Erickson Addition and Bee Caves Section Four from the Barton Creek Moratorium. He said he had two lots with short form subdivision that are caught up in the moratorium and is before Council seeking a clarification of their policy. Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau informed him Council cannot take action today but an ordinance can be prepared for next week. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 11, 1979 AUSTIN JAYCEES PORTABLE SIGN Councilmember Trevino moved that the Council approve the request of Mr. Patton Kaufman and Mr. Richard Wroten, president, Austin Jaycees, to permit them to place a portable sign on the northwest corner of Toomey Road and South Lamar from October 17, 1979 to October 31, 1979. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Mullen, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Trevino, Cooke, Goodman, Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau, Councilmember Mullen Noes: None Absent: Mayor McClellan Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmember Snell RESOLUTION OF TCHC ON DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION MS. INA SMITH appeared before Council to present a Resolution from Travis County Historical Commission on Downtown Revitalization. While they do not support the methodology of the American City Corporation for achievment of the Council's goals, their resolution advises Council of their support of their long range plans for the Revitalization of Downtown Austin, and states the Commission feels that a plan can be developed with City staff personnel coupled with citizen input and organizations; i.e., National Register, Texas Historical Commission, American Institute of Architects, and the Austin Board of Realtors. PARADE PERMIT Councilmember Trevino moved that the Council approve the request for a Parade Permit from Anthony E. Haynes in honor of Miss Huston-Tillotson, from 2:00 P.M. to 4:00P.M., Saturday October 27, 1979, beginning at the 2300 block of Rosewood Avenue, west to the 1100 block of San Bernard St., north to the 1300 block of East 12th Street, east to 1200 block of Chicon Street, south to 1800 block of East 11th Street, disassembling on campus of Huston-Tillotson College. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Cooke, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Trevino, Cooke, Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau, Councilmember Mullen Noes: None Absent: Mayor McClellan Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmembers Goodman, Snell CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 11, 1979 ANNEXATION FOR WILLIAMSON COUNTY MUD NO. 1 MR. KIRKE JEFFERY, General Manager of Williamson County MUD #1 appeared before Council requesting reconsideration by Council on their request for approval of annexation of 77.71 acres of land to Williamson County MUD #1. He stated he has met with Mr. David Reed of the City Parks Department and worked out a general master plan for the 499 acre that Williamson County MUD #1 is considering for annexation. Mr. Reed felt that two park locations, one of 6-8 acres and another of 16-18 acres would be appropriate for the area. Both locations are situated on tracts that have either requested annexation into the MUD or have expressed an interest in doing so. He said he and Mr. Reed have agreed that the types of facilities located in the parks should be a continuance of Anderson Mill's existing park facilities. Mr. Jeffery requested that annexation be reconsidered by the City Council and the MUD would be restricted to purchasing oversize water and sewer lines, off-site water and sewer facilities, and interior lines only to the extent of the cost of parkland, park improvements, street lights and street signs. This would parallel existing city policies for development. Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau requested Mr. Davidson to prepare options and place on the October 18, 1979 Agenda. CITIZEN DID NOT APPEAR MR. LUCIUS MOORE had requested to appear before Council to reset a public hearing scheduled for 8:30 P.M., October 18, 1979 to (7:30 p.m., October 18, 1979) for a Cable T.V. franchise east of I.H. 35. He did not appear so Council said the time would remain as is. TRANSIT FINANCING MR. BILL MOORE, Chairman, Urban Transportation Commission, reported on Transit Financing, as follows: "In looking at alternate methods for financing the Austin Transit System our task force and our entire Commission and the City staff did a thorough analysis of expenditures on transportation uses in the City of Austin. We found that from 1971 to 1976 about 98.7% of all the money spent on transportation in Austin goes for automobiles, bicyclepedestrian related, and that only 1.3%, less than a dollar out of each 100 goes in support of the public transportation system. In viewing that, part we recognize is because of the limited funds available and the Transit System in the past has been regarded as something taken over by the private sector which could be pay as you go with State and/or Federal funds, etc. It has not been fully recognized or fully recorded with its role as legitimate function of local government the same as maintaining streets, providing parks, and other services. So we began to look at mechanisms whereby the City of Austin could look at or guarantee funding for the Austin Transit System. There are really four things we have to consider. First, capital expenditures... the purchase of new rolling stock, the purchase of land, and the construction of area terminals which are a part of our public transportation plan.... CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 11, 1979 maintenance facilities, etc. In viewing this we found that we don't have a serious problem in the capital area. Even though prices of these things have gone up tremendously because of State and Federal matching funds the local share only amounts to about 7%. There is active planning for the Transit System. That funding has to be done through in-kind services. There is a need to have some source of revenue by which we can look at expansion of the Transit System as the rest of the city grows, and there is annexation of areas, and more people move into the City of Austin. The operating budget of the Transit System continues to be a troublesome area for the city. We looked at that and recognized the operating ratio has been a measure of the fare box revenues to the total expenditures of the systems such as that is low but comparable to many other cities. We recoup from the fare box about 25-30% of the total cost of operating the system. Another substantial amount comes from Federal assistance." Councilmember Cooke asked if the fare box has been declining. Mr. Moore said he thinks it has in terms of the operating ratio. Five years ago it was about 38%. Three years ago, after fuel increases really hit the Transit System, it fell to 33% and it is now as low as 25%. Mr. Moore continued, "In view of that sort of problem and I think that is a very serious fiscal problem that the city has to address, we went out and looked at 19 different alternatives for additional funding sources or expansion of existing funding sources that might be used to finance the operating expenditures of the Transit System. Moreover, we thought, if we could find a single mechanism whereby we could generate revenues for the Transit System that would cover all four of our components of expenditures, the capital, the planning, and the expansion as well as the operating expenditures, we would be moving in a very positive direction in keeping the Transit Service and expanding it. Without going through all of the nineteen alternatives, which is all contained in the report, and I'm sure you've had a chance to look at that (CITY CLERK DID NOT RECEIVE A COPY) over the last week or so. Basically our recommendation came down to single mechanism which involve a 1% city sales tax that would generate something on the order of 9.2 million dollars a year in total revenues for the city. It's very clear that we do not have the legislative authority at this time to implement such a proposal, so what we are asking is that Council pursue any one, or all of the three following suggestions: 1. An additional 1% of the existing 4% sales levy by the city. (He did not think this would be likely because the state would not turn loose of another 1% of the sales tax.) 2 & 3 The best alternative to fit Austin's needs is that the city be granted the authority to levy an additional 1% sales tax which would then be dedicated to the operation and improvement of the Transit System. An alternative of that and one used in larger metropolitan areas is the concept of the metropolitan transit authority where there is a body composed of the central city and participated in by surrounding suburban communities and then they have the authority to levy a 1% sales tax. An amendment to the state law would be required in order to make this applicable to Austin. Presently the population should be 650,000. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 11, 1979 "Basically, what we are asking, is that Council direct this to the attention of the Travis County delegation, Senator Doggett and if a special session of the legislature occurs, ask Governor Clements to include this on his agenda. We think this is timely because of increasing fuel costs and an aroused interest in public transit that the city has the responsibility to try and expand that system so more people can be served by it. "I'd like to mention a couple of other things that are premature, but unfortunately I am not going to be able to attend the public hearing on the transit fare increase next week. In our recommendation to the Council, we are urging an adoption of formal statement or recognition that public transit is a legitimate governmental function. It is not an ancillary agency that you treat differently, and should have as a legitimate function a claim upon the existing fund revenues of the city and leave the fares constant at this time. This Council, from the day it took office, has expressed an interest in a low fare or no fare transit system. As an economist I can tell you that if you keep the fares constant, given our 12% to 14% inflation rate per year, you very quickly will have a low fare system. The unanimous recommendation of the Commission is that the fares should not be increased and that general revenues be used to continue to fund the transit system until such time as another mechanism (the recommended mechanism being a 1% sales tax) can be enabled at the state level and adopted at the local level for use by the Austin Transit System." Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau thanked Mr. Moore and said Council will see that his report gets to Senator Doggett's office. ZONINGS SET FOR PUBLIC HEARINGS The City Manager reported the following applications have been referred to the Planning Commission for recommendation and have been set for public hearing before the City Council on October 25, 1979.
