CABLE T.V. SERVICES Council had before it for consideration the following items relating to cable T.V. services in the City of Austin. 1. Consider granting Capital Cable T.V. Company's request for contract/ franchise extension. 2. Consider granting Mr. Lucious Moore's request for a cable T.V. contract/franchise. 3. Consider selecting Cable T.V. consultants. 4. Consider issuing requests for proposals for Cable T.V. services to the City of Austin. January 10, 1980 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Motion Councilmember Cooke moved that the Council approve Item 3 (Consider selecting cable T.V. consultants) and go with the staff recommendation of Cable T.V. Information Center and retention of Michael Botein and David Rice, attorneys. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Goodman. Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau asked if it is absolutely necessary to go with the two attorneys. Mr. Harris, City Attorney, stated, "No, it is not absolutely necessary. Our idea there is that the primary consultants will be the Cable T.V. Information Center. We added in the law professors on the basis that we would most likely use them on a limited basis and on an hourly basis to review anything that came up which we will need more help on. That means, in the scope of our recommendation, that we might not use them at all, or just use them on a limited hourly basis." Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau asked if there wasn't someone in Texas to use, rather than reaching out to New York University. Mr. Harris said that Mr. Botein and Mr. Rice were recommended by professors at the University of Texas School of Law. He went on to say that these two lawyers have concentrated in this precise area and there are not too many people around who have narrowed their activity to this particular area to the extent and scope these two professors have. Mayor McClellan raised the question of how much of the consultant's fee should be charged to Lucius Moore in the study of his request for a franchise. Councilmember Cooke suggested perhaps 25% and Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau said it is fair for Mr. Moore to pay his share, whatever the consultants decide is his fair share. Mayor McClellan said, "I don't know how you would distinquish between anyone who would come in and make a similar request and they are going to have to foot their part of the bill. I want that included in the motion that we determine to count out how much that would be and let him know." Councilmember Snell said that in fairness to Mr. Moore, Council should give him the chance to say whether or not he is financially able to participate. Mr. Harris said that after the consultant decides the proper percentage then they will talk to Mr. Moore and find out if he wants to participate. The Mayor asked what the time frame would be for the study. Mr. Harris said it would take 2-4 weeks to get the information back to the Capital Cable Company. Mr. Daron Butler, Assistant City Manager, said it would then take 60-120 days to come back to Council with a report. Mayor McClellan questioned the necessity of engaging out of state attorneys. Discussion followed on that point. Councilmember Mullen said he thought they should wait and take the advice from the consultants as to what attorneys to use. Councilmember Goodman thought the attorneys would be needed from the outset. Mr. Harris said he thought that initially they should not retain the attorneys, but could come back and retain them if they are actually needed. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 10, 1980 Substitute Motion Councilmember Mullen made a substitute motion to approve a contract with Cable T.V. Information Center. The substitute motion was seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau.

Mr. Richard Lillie, Director of Planning, stated, "The Planning Commission and City Council on two occasions in 1979 had projects before them that included apartment projects in "A" residential by Special Permit. The last one was the Knights of Columbus case. At that time there was interest on the part of both the Commission and the Council to look into the ordinance to see whether or not that provision should be deleted. This public hearing is for the purpose of determining whether or not that portion of the zoning ordinance that would allow apartments in a residential zoning, by Special Permit, should be deleted. The ordinance you have before you is recommended by the Planning Commission; would add a sentence to the ordinance 'Provided, however, that no building or land shall be used and no building shall be erected or structurally altered for apartment purposes'. And that is the recommendation of the Planning Commission." No on appeared to speak. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 10, 1080 Motion Mayor McClellan introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 45 (ZONING ORDINANCE) OF THE CODE OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN OF 1967, PROHIBITING APARTMENTS IN "A" RESIDENCE DISTRICTS BY SPECIAL PERMITS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; SUSPENDING THE RULE REQUIRING THE READING OF ORDINANCES ON THREE SEPARATE DAYS; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

He wondered if this could be approved with the exception of the one item. Mr. Davidson, City Manager, stated "We've also had interest expressed by the cities of Georgetown, Oak Hill, Jollyville and Round Rock. These four entities would like an option to bid on the equipment." Mayor McClellan said, "Let's just put it up for bids." Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau said there were some vehicles with very low mileage going up for auction and wondered if a minimum is set. Mr. Browning, Vehicle and Equipment Department, said that the minimums have not yet been set, but they will be. ATS INDEPENDENT STUDY COORDINATOR The Council had before it for consideration a resolution approving an amendment to the Austin Transportation Study (ATS) Joint Planning Agreement to provide for the position of an independent study coordinator. Councilmember Goodman stated, "The resolution would establish an amendment to the participation agreement to allow the ATS to hire an independent study coordinator and for the city to pay 1/3 of that cost which is approximately $8,000 for this fiscal year out of Section 112 funds which are already CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 10, 1980 RECESS Council recessed its meeting at 11:50 A.M. and resumed its recessed meeting at 2:25 P.M. CITIZEN DID NOT APPEAR MS. NANCY PAIGE GARRISON, who had requested to appear before Council to present various ideas on advancement of public transit services in Austin, did not appear.

GEORGE LETCHER FINCH appeared before Council to request the need for a Sign Language Interpreter on City of Austin TV advertisements. The Mayor thanked him for his suggestion and wondered why no one has thought of this previously. She asked the City Manager to look into this. POEM MR. JOHNNY TRAVIS appeared before Council to recite a poem about Democracy with a request that the hostages held in Iran be sent home. Mayor McClellan thanked him for his timely and meaningful poem. PUBLIC HEARING ON STREET VACATION Mayor McClellan opened the public hearing, scheduled for 2:00 Ρ.Μ. on vacating the following and passage of ordinance: Oldham Street from East 26th Street to Comanche Street. (Requested by the adjacent property owners) Mr. John German, Director of Public Works, said this street ties in with the new Red River Street. It has been properly processed by the city departments, public utilities, Planning Commission and Urban Transportation Commission and all of those bodies recommend approval. MR. EARL JACKSON, who lives in Dallas Texas, is owner of the apartment house at 3001 Red River. The proposed Red River Street, he said, is going to go through what is presently the parking lot of the River Oaks apartments. Oldham and Comanche Streets lead into the drive in approach to the parking lot. He asked why it is being vacated, when it will be vacated, and what will be done with it after it is vacated. JERRY HARRIS, City Attorney, explained: "As to when the vacation will be effective, it will be June 1, 1981. That's to allow for the completion of the new Red River Street before the vacation actually takes place. There are several reasons for its being vacated. One is after the new Red River Street is completed it's going to be higher than the existing Oldham Street and a connection there will not occur as a public thoroughfare, therefore it is the CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 10, 1980 in the 1979-80 budget. If you want to include this procedure in the motion, I would be happy to do so: the ATS selects the coordinator, subject to the approval of the City Council, Commissioners Court, and legislative delegation." Mr. Ternus, Director of Urban Transportation, said he concurs with the method, and that it would be part of the motion but not a part of the agreement. Mr. Ternus said, "I'd like to make one other suggestion to that resolution which the City Attorney's office had drafted. In Part 2 where we talk about amendment of Section VI, we speak to an independent study coordinator shall be employed by ATS while acting in the capacity of MPO. In actuality the study is a process and does not do any selection whatsoever. I would like to suggest a re-wording which says, 'an independent study coordinator for the Austin Transportation Study, shall be selected by the MPO to work in close cooperation.....' The other point is that particular amendment of Section VI does not refer to representatives from the Texas Highway Department and since the study coordinator will not be a Highway Department representative that agency needs to have some recognition of a representative." He referred to other changes in his memorandum. (CITY CLERK DID NOT RECEIVE A COPY) Councilmember Goodman referred to Mr. Ternus's amendments and thinks they are acceptable. Councilmember Mullen spoke against the whole operation. He said this has not worked in the past for the benefit of the city. A lot of the work has been pulled out of ATS and given to city staff in order to get anything done. The fact that the state legislators control the committee and are not responsible makes for an uncomfortable position because the City Council has the responsibility but not the authority and either the balance needs to be changed, or the whole program needs to be rejected and not waste any more money. Councilmember Goodman feels it is an absolutely vital group if they did not have ATS they would not be able to certify the millions of dollars received annually to build MoPac, etc. He felt action today will strengthen the MPO. Councilmember Mullen pointed out that there is another option which the Council could go to. Councilmember Goodman said, "That option, for the record, would be to have no independent study coordinator at all." Motion Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council adopt a resolution that the participation agreement with Travis County and the State of Texas be amended to provide for the selection and hiring of an Independent Study Coordinator by the Austin Transportation Study with final approval of each entity, and further that the city's 1/3 share for the expense of the coordinator and support costs and staff come from the use of Sec. 112 funds which are already properly budgeted in the 1979-80 Budget, as those funds may be used and designated for this purpose. The motion, seconded by Mayor McClellan, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau, Councilmembers Snell, Trevino Noes: Councilmember Mullen CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 10, 1980 REPORT POSTPONED The City Manager's report on Status of the MUD Policy was postponed. BRACKENRIDGE HOSPITAL CONSTRUCTION Mr. Al Eldridge, Director of Office of Facilities, Planning and Construction, reported that the Brackenridge Hospital Construction is going well, they are staying within budget and Phase 3B is 20 months from completion. TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT PLAN Mr. Joe Ternus reported on the Transportation Systems Management Plan. He reminded Council they have received the guidelines as developed by the City departments. Motion Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council place the Transportation Systems Management Plan on the January 17, 1980 agenda for consideration. The motion, seconded by Mayor McClellan, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau, Councilmembers Mullen, Snell, Mayor McClellan Noes: None Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmember Trevino PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES Mr. Joe Ternus of Urban Transportation, called Council's attention to the City Manager's report on Design Criteria for Pedestrian Facilities. This will be brought back for consideration on the January 17, 1980 agenda. WARRANTS FOR FOUR WAY STOPS Mr. Joe Ternus reported on Warrants (Criteria) for Four Way Stops. He said this is a new type of control for urban cities and he recommends it to Council. He said the ordinance and resolution should be revised in order to make it legal. This item will be included on the January 17, 1980 agenda. LOW DENSITY STANDARDS John German, Director of Public Works, presented the Interim Report on Low Density Standards, and recommended Council set a public hearing. -CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 10, 1980 Motion Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council set a public hearing for January 31, 1980 at 6:00 P.M. on Low Density Standards. The motion, seconded by Mayor McClellan, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmember Goodman, Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau, Counci Imembers Noes: Mullen, Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan None Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmember Cooke PUBLIC HEARING PROPOSED CENTRAL AREA CIRCULATION PLAN Mayor McClellan opened the public hearing scheduled for 10:30 Α.Μ. on the proposed Central Area Circulation Plan. Joe Ternus, Director of Urban Transportation Department and many interested citizens have been working on the proposed central area circulation plan. He said several options are proposed and once they are selected a basic framework for the growth of our community can be laid. The plan includes identification of specific automobile corridors, a 1st-3rd one-way street system, off-street parking facilities, re-routing of the transit route, a light rail system between the auditorium and the University of Texas area, an internal bus circulation service, a trolley-bus service along 6th Street, a transportation center, improved pedestrian amenities along 6th, 11th and Congress Avenues. The recommended plan identifies specific corridors and facilities for each mode...automobiles, transit and pedestrian. It coordinates all of those into a multimoto transportation program for the central area. It is a master plan that outlines some of the aspects and has been a basis for detailed reports. Some of the reports include gateways to Austin, the Congress Avenue Report, 1st-3rd One Way System Report, Austin Parking Plan, Transportation Center, and the Central Area Circulation System. Mr. Ternus continued, "These projects support a comprehensive development strategy for the central area. It is important to recognize that the transportation network must be phased into a transportation and economic development strategy. The flexibilities of these proposals should also be emphasized." He explained that the plan can be modified as it is to reflect changing needs. The plans will form a means for our total transportation area and supports the goals and objectives outlined in the Austin Tomorrow Goals. It addresses nearly every goal listed under the subject of transportation. Mr. Ternus then expressed his appreciation for the technical assistance provided by many departments of the city. He feels the plan will contribute heavily to the downtown revitalization of the City of Austin and asked Council to approve the plan so staff may continue its work toward implementation of the various projects included in the plan. Mr. Bob Coffee, speaking as a private citizen, emphasized his thoughts also that the plan needs to be flexible in order to meet any future development as far as realizing a downtown plan acceptable to everybody concerned. Two things have been questioned by AIA's downtown task force. One is that several of the parking garages should be combined with other structures at street level. He suggested a market place on East 6th under the parking garage. He said they also questioned whether the central transportation center should be on East 6th because it would take out some viable businesses that are presently there. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 10, 1980 Mr. Ternus returned to re-emphasize that the plan is flexible and they are not yet speaking of specific designs or sites. That's a question that will be answered when they are constructed by private enterprise. He said the transportation center will be located on 3rd streets between Congress and Brazos. They are trying to keep 6th Street as a pedestrian locale. Motion Councilmember Snell moved that the Council close the public hearing, accept the report, and bring it back at a later date. The motion, seconded by Mayor McClellan, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau, Councilmembers Mullen, Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman Noes: None PUBLIC HEARING ON ANNEXATION Mayor McClellan opened the public hearing scheduled for 10:45 Α.Μ. to consider annexation of and direct the administration to institute annexation proceedings to annex the following: 84.90 acres of land (52.90 acres requested by owner and known as Silverstone Phase I Sections 1 and 2 and 32.0 acres initiated by the City.) C7a-79-017 Mr. Lillie said the annexation is partially requested by the city and partially by the owner because without the annexation the area would have been surrounded by city property. It is located southeast of the city near Williamson Creek Treatment Plant, adjacent to the city, and a fiscal report is favor- able because the cost of service would be matched by revenues anticipated by the annexation. It is recommended by the Planning Commission. No on appeared to be heard. Motion Counci Imember Cooke moved that the Council close the public hearing and direct the administration to institute annexation proceedings to annex the following: 84.90 acres of land (52.90 acres requested by owner and known as Silverstone Phase I Sections 1 and 2 and 32.0 acres initiated by the City) C7a-79-017.

Hancock, Director of Electric Utility, presented the Monthly Status Report on Fayette Power Project, the Monthly Status Report on South Texas Project and a report on Longhorn Dam Small Hydro Project. (REPORTS ARE ON FILE IN THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE.) PUBLIC HEARING USE OF ALUMINUM WIRE - Mayor McClellan opened the public hearing scheduled for 11:00 A.Μ. on an amendment to Chapter 37 of the Austin City Code to restrict use of aluminum wire in one and two family dwellings to No. 6 gauge wire and larger sizes. Mr. Lonnie Davis, Director, Building Department stated that for several months prior to presentation to the City Council, the Electric Board of Appeals had periodically discussed amending the Electric Code to restrict the use of aluminum wire in one and two family dwellings. The recommended changes would prohibit the use of aluminum wire in "branch circuits" and restrict the use of aluminum wire throughout the balance of the structure to No. 6 gauge aluminum wire and larger sizes. Mr. Davis said the installation cost of copper versus aluminum in today's market is parallel. However the cost of aluminum wire is less than copper. Components for the installation of aluminum wire, however, cost more. Mr. Davis said the bottom line of today's proposal would inhibit the use of #8 and smaller aluminum wire in homes but would permit the use of #6 and larger. He explained the breaking point in terms of lug connectors. There is not a problem with oxidization or wires coming loose when this weight is used. He pointed out that warehouses in Austin are no longer stocking copper 10-2 wire. Mr. Davis referred to other technical aspects of the use of wire and said Austin residents who have their homes wired in aluminum have not encountered any serious problems. Councilmember Goodman asked Mr. Davis several questions. He asked specifically about a bill which was before the last session of the Texas Legislation concerning aluminum wire. Mr. Davis said it was not acted upon. WALTER TIMBERLAKE, Electric Board, explained the bill which was before the Legislature never got out of committee. He explained some of the technicalities of wiring a house and concluded that he is not opposed to larger size aluminum wire, and pointed out that copper wire is safer in smaller sized wire. He recommended that aluminum wire be banned in the city of Austin, but if it is used it should be nothing smaller than No. 6. FRED HOSKINS, Hoskins Electric, said putting the blame for fires on aluminum wire is untrue. He said the problems are caused by people who install the wire and it wouldn't matter if gold wire was used in the circuit. If it is not properly installed it will burn. He explained the technicalities of circuitry. He asked Council not to deny electricians an alternative to copper wire. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 10, 1980 ROBERT MANN, President, Austin Home Builders, spoke in their behalf. He stated that if aluminum wire is not properly installed, he is certain the City Building Inspectors will be able to note it for correction and pointed to the high cost of housing and spoke for house containment on housing. Mr. Mann cited the higher cost of copper wiring, and said the poor and middle class will soon be priced out of a house and asked Council to always consider the cost of housing when they are settling an issue that has to do with building. Councilmember Goodman asked the Fire Department, from this point forward, to log the type of wiring involved in fires to determine whether there are more fires with aluminum wire as opposed to copper wire. Motion Councilmember Cooke moved that the Council close the public hearing and deny the request to prohibit aluminum wire. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Mullen. Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau said she feels that aluminum wire is a fire hazard and has had two people call her about house fires caused because of it. Roll Call on Motion Roll Call on Motion failed to carry by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Snell, Cooke, Mullen Noes: Councilmember Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmember Goodman, Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau Motion Mayor McClellan introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 37 OF THE AUSTIN CITY CODE OF 1967 BY AMENDING SECTION 37-310-5 OF THE 1967 CODE OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN, CONCERNING MINIMUM SIZE OF CONDUCTORS; PROVIDING FOR EXCEPTIONS; SUSPENDING THE RULE REQUIRING THE READING OF ORDINANCES ON THREE SEPARATE DAYS; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 10, 1980 staff recommendation and the recommendation of boards and commissions that it is no longer needed as a public street in that context. The City of Austin will retain the area as a blanket utility easement. It's also going to be maintained as an emergency vehicle passageway. I think some of the property owners that immediately adjoin Oldham Street plan to connect the street to the new Red River Street with a driveway type facility so property owners abutting directly on Oldham Street will have private access." Mr. Jackson thanked Mr. Harris for the explanation and said his question has been answered. Mayor McClellan introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE PERPETUALLY CLOSING AND VACATING A CERTAIN PORTION OF OLDHAM STREET FROM EAST 26TH STREET TO COMANCHE STREET; RETAINING IN THE CITY A BLANKET PUBLIC UTILITY EASEMENT, A FILL EASEMENT ACROSS THE NORTH END OF THE VACATED AREA, AND A BLANKET PASSAGEWAY FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES, SUSPENDING THE RULE REQUIRING THE READING OF AN ORDINANCE ON THREE SEPARATE DAYS; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

MR. SAM GRAHAM, Chairman, Electric Utility Commission, reported as follows: "Recommendations are, briefly, that the staff recommendation of 1.2 rate of return differential to be applied to the LPS category not be adopted and rather that you stick with 1.4 across the board. That we phase out the difference between recovering capacity costs, that we recover all of them in the summer billing months rather than defer them as they are presently for some commercial classes. An earlier recommendation to phase out single fuel rates for a five year period was rescinded by a 5-4 vote. We conducted a public hearing. A number of people appeared and there was great interest in the life-line rate. PURPA mandated that life line be considered. We have a sub-committee that is continuing to look into life-line and we'll hear more about it. I think that the majority of the Commission felt that at this time we did'nt have enough information about life-line or low usage conservation rate. There's one other thing I don't think you will hear tonight and that is a built in problem that will come up each time that the rates are adjusted or changed. It has to do with the fiscal year and the budget adoption. Until the revenue requirements are decided the system revenue requirements aren't known. As a result, any proposed rates cannot be implemented unless the Council adopts those rates at the same time it adopts the budget. And I think you never are going to be able to do that. No Council probably will be able to. So, either we are going to have interim rates every time the rates are looked at or adjusted for a 3-6 month period, or the rates in effect are going to have to continue and the actual target date for adopting the new rates will be something like January 1st as opposed to October 1st which is what we thought we might be able to do this year. Although the initial report on rates was issued in late July, our Commission and the Council itself spent most of September looking at the budget. So actual examination of the proposed rates really didn't begin until October and the month of November." DR. LARRY DEUSER, member of the Electric Utility Commission, appeared before Council. He said he would speak to one particular issue, "and that relates to the all electric rate difference we have in four of our categories, in other words, four of our classes come about because we differentiate between like customers except for the fact that one of the customers uses a mixed fuel primarily in the case of gas and electricity." .... Mr. Deuser explained how he voted on the issues and said he was in the minority position in phasing out the all electric rate on a five year decreasing difference basis. He referred to a comparison of rates which he passed out to Council. (COPY ON FILE IN CITY CLERK'S OFFICE.) He explained the chart to the Council. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 10, 1980 Mayor McClellan said her basic philosophy on electric rates is they should be based on cost of service. She asked if on a cost of service basis if it costs the same to serve the multi-fuel customer as it does to serve the all electric customer. Dr. Deuser answered that there is not an identical cost factor. He said it cost less to serve the all electric structure. Mayor McClellan stated then that one does not get a reduced rate because they are all electric but because it costs less to serve an all electric home. Mr. Graham returned to state, "The cost of serving an all electric home is less. It is no longer there as an inducement for people to go all electric. However, that should always be monitored closely so that future rates designs never again become an inducement. For the large primary service class, our Commission tries to look at and recommend to you on the basis of the data we get and strict cost justification. The political decision we don't have to make but in the large primary service I did receive a letter regarding the State of Texas. The City of Austin's electric service income without serving the State of Texas would have an adverse impact." Mayor McClellan stated she just received a letter from Homer Forrester and asked for the following: "I would like to make a formal request. Staff, Utility Commission, all the appropriate people, Mr. Hancock, that Touche Ross consulting here....are there special characteristics about the state as a customer that would merit their being in a separate classification. I would like you to report back to us within, I don't know how long that will take, we might have to go on with rates now and come back to this, but I think it's very important that we look at that. If there are characteristics that distinquish them separate and apart from those they are classified with now, we ought to know it and look very closely at that. I would hope the Council would concur in bringing that information back to us and that's the request I would make very strongly and as quickly as possible to look at." SHUDDE FATH, a member of the Electric Utility Commission, spoke for herself. She said, "If ever a pendulum has swung too far it is our current electric rate structure. Without the UT special contract we have 13 different rate classes, each with four different kinds of charges, customer, energy, capacity and fuel. Nine of these classes have a total of 23 different capacity charges. All together that's 57 different billing calculations for 13 customer classes. That's ridiculous. On June 1,1979 I proposed a share the rate equitably classless flat rate structure and asked staff to determine the fiscal impact. Almost four months later the Electric Utility Commission received a one page chart showing that an over all flat rate brought small decreases for five rate classes for residential multiple fuel and commercial users and the two primary service classes increased by 3.2 and 4.7 per cent. Only two of these nine rate classes showed larger impact. There was a 15.6 increase for residential single fuel and a 14.4 increase for the five customers in large primary service. Most of you know that electric bills have increased almost 300% during the past 6 years and that the fuel charge which is more than half of the billings is always assessed on a flat rate for kilowatt hours. With regard to phasing in a 15.6% increase for residential single fuel users, you people know that this pays the very lowest price for kilowatt hour. Slightly _CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 10, 1980 lower even than the five largest users. I voted for Dr. Deuser's motion to phase out the all-electric rate class over a five year period because the lower price brings increased energy consumption and in the absence of a heat pump it is wasteful to heat a building using electricity. Much new construction outside the city limits uses all electric service, partly because the city extends electric service absolutely free to new customers, while the gas company charges the developers and the new gas customers for its capital costs. When these new single fuel customers then pay the very lowest price in town for electricity we're actually helping to subsidize new construction outside the city limits and therefore outside the city property tax base. All single fuel customers derive benefits from our lower winter rates which apply to their peak consumption season. This is justifiable and it improves our system load factor but it surely is not necessary then to charge lower prices in single fuel rate elements and in comparable multiple fuel rates. For these reasons, I feel that a phased in 15.6% increase for residential single fuel users under flat rate is justifiable. Now, back to the five largest users who would experience a 14.4% increase under a flat rate. If you want these large primary service customers to have a lower rate then be straightforward about it and simply give them a percentage discount from the overall flat rate. Did you ever wonder why a flat rate causes so little fiscal impact on the other seven customer classes? Touche Ross assigned lower cost of service to non-residential customers and then we set a 1.4% higher rate of return differential for the non-residential classes. The net effect of lower rate bases but higher return differential is actually very close to an overall flat rate in all classes except residential single fuel and large primary service. To my overall flat rate proposal I added a residential life-line rate block for the first 500 kilowatt hours, a graduated monthly customer service charge lower than present schedules, retention of the 4% discount to primary service customers, a new meter hook up charge and demand meters with more tolerant demand charges. My biggest complaint with the present rate structure is the so-called cost of service allocation based largely on fantasy. By the huge sum of about $175,000 of our money Touche Ross allocated every dollar of electric system assets and costs, dating back on assets as far as 25 years or so between fourteen separate rate classes. Norman Barker told the former Mayor's Commission on Electric Rates that city records did not even exist even to separate water and wastewater dollars from electric utility dollars within the utility fund... Mayor McClellan stated six months ago, 'It is not current policy to maintain separate capital accounts for each individual utility, thus it is difficult to determine the capital investment, appreciation, interest and principle payments for the electric system, the water or wastewater system' ... As I understand it, the new Arthur Anderson and Company accounting system began to operate on October 1,1979. Several years from today someone may be able to prove to me that the magic phrase 'cost of service"actually does produce significant variations among customer types based on the nature of activities within that customers property, which is how we classify them now. In my opinion, the summer surcharge addresses the effect of peak demand on the system and optional time of day meters would carry this effect one step further. Any way, we surely do not today have cost figures to prove existing cost of service allocations to 14 rate classes and free charges besides fuel in each class. ...I strongly support a 500 kilowatt hour life line rate block for all residential customers. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 10, 1980 Life line rates are sure to come eventually, but with today's high prices for basic necessities why doesn't Austin become one of the leaders instead of waiting to be dragged through evidential hearings that will be required under PURPA." Mr. R.L. Hancock, Director of Electric Utility, reported as follows: Since October, the Electric Utility Commission has considered cost of service recommendations and various rate tariff design issues. Extensive review and study of various electric rate proposals has been conducted by the Commission and a Rate Subcommittee. On November 30, 1979, the Commission's principal recommendations were transmitted to the City Council. They include: A 1.4 rate of return differential for all commercial classifications, including the large primary service group, was recommended. (Attached is a table comparing rates of return by customer group and ratepayer impact under alternative rate of return differentials.) On January 5, 1980, the Commission rescinded an earlier recommendation to phase out single fuel rates over a 5 year period. Beginning with the receipt of the first 1980 winter bills, but no later than November 1, 1980, all capacity costs for all customer classifications should be recovered during the summer billing months. (Under this proposal, only the general service demand and primary-served customers are effected. The residential and general service non-demand classifications already contribute all capacity charges during the summer billing months.) The existing customer groups and the methodology used to allocate costs were adopted. The Electric Department's corresponding recommendations are summarized below: A 1.2 rate of return differential is recommended for the large primary classification. For all other commercial classifications, a rate of return differential of 1.4 is recommended. (See attached table.) The staff recommended existing customer groups, without a phase out of single fuel rates. The rates for all single fuel classifications are cost-based and demonstrate distinct customer characteristics from those of multiple fuel customers. Additional study of the fiscal impact of collecting all capacity costs during the summer billing months is needed. Preliminary analysis indicates adverse summer impacts, especially for demand customers with poor load factors. More work on individual customer impacts will be needed. This method of collecting capacity costs should be phased-in over a 4-5 year period to facilitate customer adaptation. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 10, 1980 The staff recommended adoption of existing customer groups and of the methodology used to allocate costs.

"One thing that I think is very important is the time table and the understanding of what action the Council will be asked to take at this time. What we need now are some policy decisions from the Council as soon in respect to policy matters associated with the rates. As soon as we receive those policy decisions we'll do a detailed design of rates, return that to the Council in ordinance form so the Council may then adopt that ordinance and then it will be necessary to do some testing on billing accounts and programming in order to implement those rates. We are late in getting this information to the Council. It should have been to the Council as near the first of October as possible. So I would like to suggest that although it is certainly not the Council's fault, that we move as rapidly as possible in adopting whatever rate forms that we intend to adopt. It is important that anything be adopted and implemented in the winter period as opposed to the summer period." Mr. Jorge Carrasco presented a slide review summarizing the rate study. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 10, 1980 MR. BOB MOSSMAN, representing Texas Instruments, appeared before Council to express their support of the city staff recommendation to reduce the differential to 1.2 for large primary service users. This would be a step toward cost-based rates, which Texas Instruments supports. He said if the Council desires to stay in step with other cities, but feels 1.2 is too low, Texas Instruments suggests consideration of 1.3, which they feel will minimize the impact on other customer classes and keep Austin in step with today's trend in utility rates. TODD SAMUELSON, Texas Mobilization for Survival, wondered how much the South Texas Nuclear Project would finally cost. PAUL ROBBINS, Texas Mobilization for Survival, passed out a statement and referred to a graph he had on electric rates. (CLERK DID NOT RECEIVE COPY.) W. SCOTT MCCOLLOUGH, speaking on behalf of the ACORN Executive Board for Austin, proposed a "lifeline" rate structure. This would mean the first 500 kwh of electricity would be provided at an affordable reduced rate. Since Austin has a publicly owned utility it should be leading the nation in PURPA compliance which is federal law mandating lifeline rates for all utilities, even privately owned systems, unless they can show cause why such rates are not feasible. Mr. McCollough said ACORN prefers the Electric Utility Commission's recommendation for rates rather than the city staff recommendation. ACORN's suggestions for the rate structure are as follows: 1. When you decide on the rate structure for the year, institute a form of lifeline now - give a break to those who use less energy, including institution of the lifeline philosophy with respect to the summer/winter differential. 2. Keep the differential for all large users at 1.4. 3. Gradually phase out all-electric rates. 4. Study our lifeline rate proposal. Think about it and what it will do for your constituents - they happen to also be the owners" of our utility system. The people out there are going under; the price of electricity is drowning us and it is up to you, our elected representatives, to throw us the lifeline that we need so desperately. Mayor Pro Tem Himmelblau wondered how many people stay under the lifeline of 500 kwh and asked staff to obtain that information before rates are instituted. HELENA HARDCASTLE, speaking for herself, thought that the city staff has never provided adequate information on electric rates, and feels fortunate to have Shudde Fath speak for citizens. January 10, 1980 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS EXHIBIT "A" PRESENTATION TO THE CITY COUNCIL ON JANUARY 10, 1980 MR. JONES HAD TO LEAVE BUT ASKED THAT THIS BE INCLUDED IN THE RECORD My name is Robert L. Jones. I am the site Facilities Manager for Motorola and would like to make a few comments relative to the electric rate structure. One of the goals of the Mayor's Commission "was to establish an electric rate structure under which the cost of providing electric service will be borne by each customer according to the costs of supplying that customer's demands on Austin's electric utility". There has been a considerable departure from this goal which was established in 1976, as the rates currently being proposed for large commercial and industrial customers do not reflect this philosophy. The rates currently being proposed are not equitable to large commercial and industrial customers. Present rates already result in these customers providing higher rates of return than all other customers, and the proposed rates will increase this in- equity. As an industrial user, our electric usage is uniform through-out the year and our peak demand on the electric system compared to our average demand is much better than that of other residential and commercial users. This means that the City of Austin does not need to have a large investment in equipment standing idle in anticipation of supplying our peak demands as it must with the other residential and commercial users. In addition, we have an investment in excess of one million dollars in our high voltage distribution system here on the Austin site. The funds for this investment were pro- vided by Motorola and reduce the investment that the City of Austin would normally make. We urge the Council to return to the original goals of the Electric Commission and establish a rate structure which will make the rate of return for large industrial users the same as the rate of return for residential and commercial users. Please understand we are not asking for preferential treatment, but simply prices to the large user which are the same percentage above cost as those for the residential user. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 10, 1980 BEN PARHAM, private citizen, stated he knew Council has a tough decision to make. Austin has the highest utility rates in the nation and something is very wrong. He thought the city should sell the Electric Utility. He commended Mr. Hancock as director of the Electric Utility. Councilmember Goodman asked Mr. Hancock how long it will take to establish a lifeline rate. Mr. Hancock said it would be about two weeks. Councilmember Goodman wondered what the impact would be if the all-electric rate were phased out in three years. Mr. Hancock said that in the residential sector the cost impact would not be too much and would be a deviation from the cost of service concept. He said there are 10,000 customers on the allelectric rate and 90,000 in mixed rates. Councilmember Goodman requested a report on what essentially would be contained in a lifeline of 500 kwh. Motion Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council close the public hearing and bring back an ordinance for consideration next week. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Cooke. (EXHIBIT "A" on following page is statement from Motorola) CITIZEN COMMUNICATION ROBERT J. MCDONALD, Austin resident and faculty member of the Public Administration Program, Southwest Texas State University addressed Council, as follows: "I've spent the past 10-12 years of my adult life studying the phenomena of American government known as Council-Manager government. I have literally hundreds of cases on my files of the way various CouncilManager governments go about employing managers and how they go about separa- ting managers. I know that on Saturday you are going to schedule evaluation of the present manager. Rumor has it that other things are afloat, but I'd like to remind you that the public takes notice of motives, good and bad, when things like this are done and you ought to be very, very sure of your motivation before you take any precipitous action. The voting public has a way of turning back on Councils which can't seem to find public ways of stating their displeasure of city managers. I would remind you that Albuquerque, New Mexico, a city about the size of Austin, now has a strong Mayor form of government because of the way it went about handling a situation with the city manager. There were many of the same factors involved. There was the matter of the continual presence of real estate development and the various elements of the real estate industry and its influence on individual Council members. There were matters of minority group interests and complaints. What the City Council did was deliver itself into the hands of a system that has nearly managed to bankrupt the city now, ruined its bond rating. They have a strong mayor form of government. I think part of the motivation that I see at work in this case is a move to more overtly political forms of CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 10, 1080 administrative management. The other thing I see is what you may well know I consider the too deep influence in local government of the real estate industry. I don't want to deal in details or in personalities but I do think you ought to be very careful and I think those of you who have said "no comment" or "I don't want to talk about it" or "I don't want to state my reasons". I think you owe the people of this city the candor of an open statement, if you can make one. Frankly, I don't think that some of the things I've heard will stand the light of day. I'd like to acknowledge candidly that Mr. Davidson is a close professional friend of mine, not a personal friend, and his future is in no doubt. There are many communities who would love to have him if Austin doesn't want him, because I do consulting with communities who are looking for city managers and I have been asked many times in the past year if he might be available. So, I sum this up by saying, be careful about what you are doing and make sure you do it out front. Thank you." Councilmember Mullen said, "I appreciate your coming and understand your concern. I wish you would not judge people by newspaper articles. I would ask that as a favor from anybody."
