Macha Mr. Macha has been employed as a Public Service Helper in the Public Works Department since May, 1979. Mr. Macha suggested the City donate or resell flower pots, baskets, stands and similar items left in the City's cemeteries and usually accumulated and then disposed of by the department. Mr. Macha will receive a certificate of merit for pointing out a way to better use materials normally disposed of by the City. Francisco J. Rios-Maldonado Mr. Rios-Maldonado is employed as a Mechanic II in the Vehicle and Equipment Services Department and has been employed by the City since August, 1977. Mr. Rios-Maldonado's suggestion to record use time for certain types of equipment in hours instead of miles provides for more accurate monitoring ng of fuel useage in addition to providing a more accurate basis for establishing prevention maintenance schedules. The City will profit from this suggestion through more timely maintenance of existing equipment and better monitoring of fuel useage. Based on the value of this suggestion as a management tool, a $150 award will be given. Joyce L. Cox Ms. Cox is an Account Clerk in the Data Systems Department and has three years of service with the City. Ms. Cox suggested a new and innovative approach to the problem of issuing checks to vendors for multiple invoices. This was a problem being discussed as part of the City's new accounting system and two methods of issuing such checks had been designed. Mr. Cox's suggestion eliminated the considerable manual handling involved under the two systems being considered, thus reducing labor costs and also required less programming effort to implement in comparison to alternate methods proposed. This automated system has been implemented as a valuable part of the City's new accounting system. Ms. Cox will receive a $150 award for this excellent suggestion. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 3, 1980 Patricia K. Harper Ms. Harper is employed as a Leader I, Public Services in the Parks and Recreation Department and has four years of service with the City. Ms. Harper's suggestion to require all future designs for medians include a two-foot buffer zone to safeguard employees who maintain the medians is considered to be of high importance for employee safety. This suggestion will appreciably limit likelihood of employees experiencing serious accidents and injuries while maintaining these medians in busy City streets. A $200 award will be presented to Ms. Harper for her safety-conscious idea. Kenneth R. Hogan Mr. Hogan, a Finger print Technician in the Police Department, has been employed with the City since August, 1972. Mr. Hogan suggested that the department's master fingerprint and name index file begun in 1924, be purged of material available through computerized systems, outdated or no longer of any use to the department. To date, these files have been reduced by more than 50%, cutting in half the search/comparison time of Police Department employees. As a result of this suggestion, an estimated 1,548 employee work hours have been saved. First year cost savings to the City is $10,479. Mr. Hogan will receive $500 for his idea, the maximum amount awarded under the program. Evelyn Gotcher and Burl D. Bourgeois Ms. Gotcher and Mr. Bourgeois are employed as Fingerprint Technicians in the Police Department. Ms. Gotcher has been with the City since December, 1978, and Mr. Bourgeois since September, 1978. Their joint suggestion to establish uniform criteria for purging the files, as suggested by Kenneth Hogan, eliminated the extensive alphabetizing and matching of files required under the method originally used to conduct the purge. By implementing this suggestion, the Police Department has been able to accomplish the purging of files approximately eight to ten months ahead of schedule and has resulted in 2,247 less employee work hours needed to conduct the purge. Total first year cost savings to the City is $14,785.26. Ms. Gotcher and Mr. Bourgeois will share the maximum award of $500. April 3, 1980 _ CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS.

The Operating Assistance grant, TX-05-OPRO, for fiscal year 1979-80 is for $1,731,727. This grant is submitted each year, and assists the transit system with their normal operating expenses. Grant No. TX-05-CAPO for $721,620 will permit the completion of the North Lamar Area Terminal and is included in prior years CIP as project 73/90-01. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS- April 3, 1980 Section 5 federal funding for FY 79-80 has not been officially announced. However, it is believed that this funding will be equal to or greater than the previous year. If so, sufficient funding will be available for the above two Section 5 grants, which are formula funds specifically assigned to the City of Austin. Section 3 funding consists of Discretionary Funds allocated by UMTA. The following Section 3 funding requests will be presented to UMTA in two grants to enable the City of Austin more flexibility in utilizing available funding. Grant No. TX-03-CAPO-1 in the amount of $1,267,866 includes the purchase of 8 buses and needed equipment to further implement the Public Transportation Plan. Equipment for this grant is included in three prior years CIP projects as follows: Buses and Vehicles 73/90-02 Support Equipment 76/90-01 Passenger Facilities 73/90-04 $1,184,706 24,300 58,860 $1,267,866 Grant No. TX-03-CAPO-2 for $612,570 will permit the expansion of the Park and Ride services through the purchase of four full-size buses and related equipment. It should be noted that this grant is not included in the current CIP. The Urban Transportation Commission, at their January 30 meeting, unanimously endorsed these applications. The appropriate detailed information for these grant applications is attached. It is requested that the City Council authorize the City City Manager to submit the above grants. Councilmember Cooke suggested they might want to buy mid-size busses for park and ride rather than 45 passenger busses. Mayor Pro Tem Mullen asked about the projected life of a bus and what the proportionate costs of labor are to fuel. Dr. Benson said he did not have those figures with him but could obtain them. Bud Flynn appeared to ask Council to make a wise choice on their transp decisions on public transportation. No one else appeared to be heard. -CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 3, 1980 Motion Mayor Pro Tem Mullen moved that the Council close the public hearing on grant applications to UMTA and delayed decision until the afternoon when further information will be available.

TEXAS April 3, 1980 PUBLIC HEARING ON SPECIAL PERMIT Mayor McClellan opened the public hearing scheduled for 9:30 Α.Μ. on an appeal from Mr. Donald E. Bird, attorney for Mr. John G. Trevino, on the decision of the Planning Commission, Special Permit No. C14p-79-077. Mr. Lillie, Director of Planning, told Council in January they considered a request for re-zoning and a request for Special Permit on property on East Ben White Boulevard, east of Montopolis on the north side of the roadway. The requests for C and for C-2 which would permit a lounge to be located on the tract. After hearing testimony, the Planning Commission voted to recommend to Council that the zoning be denied. At that time, because of that recommendation, they did not consider the Special Permit but acted to deny the Permit. When the zoning came to Council they overruled the Planning Commission and voted to grant C and C-2 zoning. Mr. Bird appealed the action of the Planning Commission on the Special permit and after notices have been sent, today is the public hearing on that Appeal. Councilmember Himmelblau pointed out the ordinance on the zoning has not come back to Council so it is not in effect. Mr. Lillie said the Council granted the zoning change, after hearing the application, but has not yet passed the ordinance. Mr. Lillie continued, "The property is six acres. It will include a lounge or club with 278 seats, 139 required parking spaces and there is a list of ordinances and special requirements which are a part of the Special Permit. The applicant does agree with the ordinance requirements and applications." MR. DON BIRD, representing the applicant, said the night club will be set back away from Ben White and existing structures. It will cause no noise problems to near neighbors. JULIAN LOCKWOOD, representing Village Mobile Homes and other property owners, said they are just beginning an industrial development in the area and they object to the noise a night club will bring. He also thought traffic hazards will develop and asked Council to deny the request. MR. CONNIE DUROW who lives across the highway from the proposed night club said he does not want the disturbance nor the traffic problems which will come with a night club. Jill Durow, Mr. Durow's daughter, also appeared to speak in opposition to the zoning change and proposed night club. Councilmember Himmelblau stated that at the time the zoning came to Council she was not aware of the closeness of homes and she will not vote for the ordinance when it comes to Council. She felt without the ordinance in effect it is premature to consider a Special Permit. MS. KATHY BEARDON, who also lives across the street from the proposed night club, asked Council to deny the Special Permit because of the noise and added traffic. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 3, 1980 MS. JANET DUROW appeared to oppose the permit which would allow a night club. BOB BEARDON appeared to oppose the night club for the same reasons his wife did. MS. NANCY TILLON, Service Manager at Village Mobile Homes, spoke against the Special Permit which would allow a night club. She was afraid there would be shooting and the shots would go through the windows of the mobile homes. A man representing Village Mobile Homes also opposed the Special Permit. MS. KATHRYN DUROW appeared in opposition to the Special Permit. Councilmember Goodman asked if the applicant will comply with all department requests. Mr. Lillie told him he would. BUD FLYNN spoke a few words about the capacity of the club. DON BIRD returned to sum up his appeal. Motion Councilmember Trevino moved that the Council close the public hearing and approve the Special Permit. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Goodman. Councilmember Goodman asked Mr. Lillie: "Concerning Betty's question about which comes first the zoning or the Special Permit. If we pass the Special Permit and the zoning doesn't pass we've taken no real action whatsoever. But if we pass the zoning and the zoning remains regardless of whether we pass the Special Permit then that more intensive zoning will be there?" Mr. Lillie said that is correct. Substitute Motion Councilmember Himmelblau offered a substitute motion, seconded by Mayor McClellan to delay the Special Permit until the vote on the zoning comes up for three readings, and close the public hearing. Mayor Pro Tem Mullen asked what difference it will make and Councilmember Himmelblau pointed out the zoning might not pass. Councilmember Goodman said he is not really opposed to the zoning change but was trying to point out that if they do pass the zoning, it is there regardless of the Special Permit. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 3, 1980 Councilmember Himmelblau asked when the ordinance will come back for Council approval. Mr. Lillie said it will come before Council when applicant has complied with the covenant. Mr. Bird pointed out the covenant is the application for a Special Permit. Motion Withdrawn Councilmember Himmelblau withdrew her motion and the Mayor withdrew her second. Roll Call on Motion to Approve Special Permit Roll Call on Motion to approve Special Permit showed the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Snell, Trevino, Cooke, Goodman, Mayor Pro Tem Mullen Noes: Mayor McClellan, Councilmember Himmelblau Councilmember Himmelblau asked, "Mr. Lillie, when will we get the approach main on?" Mr. Lillie said he will see if it has been submitted for review and give her the information in the afternoon. Councilmember Himmelblau asked him to tell Council in which area it is as far as where the water could be curtailed. CITIZEN COMMUNICATIONS Mr. Bud Flynn appeared before Council to speak for the youth of America who he says will not go to war. WATER SKI TOURNAMENTS Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council approve the request of Mr. Art Keller, Executive Director, for permission to hold three water ski tournaments on Town Lake by Auditorium Shores in conjunction with the 1980 Aqua Festival on the following dates: Austin Novice Tournament July 19 & 29, 1980 Texas Water Ski Championship Austin Aqua Festival Cash July 26 & 27, 1980 August 8 & 9, 1980 Award Ski Tournament (with practice on) August 7 & 8, 1980 The motion, seconded by Councilmember Himmelblau, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Goodman, Himmelblau, Mayor Pro Noes: Tem Mullen, Councilmember Snell None Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmembers Cooke, Trevind April 3, 1980 =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS SEVENTH ANNUAL PARENT PICNIC AT WATERLOO PARK Mayor Pro Tem Mullen moved that the Council approve the request of Ms. Rose Lancaster, Executive Director, Extend-A-Care, Inc., for permission to sell food and beverage items from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., Sunday, May 4, 1980 for Seventh Annual Parent Picnic at Waterloo Park.

CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 3, 1980 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT APPROVED CORRIDORS PROJECT Council had before them for consideration the funding recommendations for the following community and economic development corporations from the 5th year Community Development Block Grant Approved Corridors Project funds: Austin Minority Economic Development Corporation Austin Community and Economic Development Corporation National Business League East Austin Chicano Economic Development Corporation Councilmember Cooke suggested that each corridors project recipient be required to: 1. Require each to develop a management plan 2. Keep track of their monthly cash flow for Council 3. Require a performance reporting statement period for each recipient Mr. Carlos Herrera, Director of Human Services, summarized the aims of each of the proposed recipients. Mr. Gabe Guiterrez expressed the opinion that Councilmember Cooke's suggestions will stifle them. He said they would not be able to do their job because of too much reporting. He said the staff can monitor their job and take away benefits if it is not well performed. Much discussion followed concerning the appropriation figures for each proposed recipient. Mr. Art Navarro, Mr. Clyde McQueen, Mr. Andy Ramirez, a man and a woman who did not identify themselves, Councilmember Himmelblau and Mayor McClellan all joined in the discussion. Motion Councilmember Cooke moved that the Council adopt a resolution for funding for the following community and economic development corporations from the 5th year Community Development Block Grant Approved Corridors Project Funds: Austin Minority Economic Development Corporation Austin Community and Economic Development Corporation National Business League East Austin Chicano Economic Development Corporation ($252,000 to come out of CDBG Contingency Fund) $156,500 100,000 87,970 252,000 The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Pro Tem Mullen, Councilmembers Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Himmelblau Noes: None CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 3, 1980 RECESS Council recessed its meeting at 1:05 p.m. and resumed its recessed meeting at 2:40 p.m. Councilmember Cooke was absent from the afternoon meeting. TEMPORARY STREET CLOSINGS Two requests for temporary street closings were before Council. The Phogg Phoundation had requested to be able to broadcast amplified sound until 10:00 p.m. Dr. Benson, Acting Director of Urban Transportation, said that the applicant had not applied for a sound permit. The ordinance states amplified sound will cease at 8 p.m. and it would require an amendment to the ordinance to continue until 10 p.m. Councilmember Goodman said he thought this had been done previously. Mr. Lonnie Davis, Director, Building Inspection told him it had not been done, and if it were there would have to be exceptions written and that would cause a lot of problems. NEAL HERR representing Nexus Coop appeared before Council and asked them to waive the requirement for a Security Guard as one is not needed. MS. MARIAN WIZARD appeared on behalf of the Phogg Phoundation and said the residents would not object to extension of amplified sound to 10:00 p.m. Mr. Albert DeLaRosa, assistant City Attorney, told her that under the ordinance this cannot be done. Ms. Wizard then asked about insurance and said the fee of $450.00 for three days is quite high. Mayor Pro Tem Mullen told her it is absolutely necessary to maintain insurance but wondered if there could not be a special category for the organizations who require insurance for a short time each year. Mr. Davidson said he will report on that and Councilmember Goodman stated he is interested in reviewing the Sound Ordinance. Motion Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council approve the request of the Phogg Phoundation to temporarily close West 23rd Street from Guadalupe to San Antonio from 10:30 A.M. to 12 midnight, April 11, 12, & 13, 1980, with April 18, 19, and 20 as rain dates, and waive the requirement for a security guard.

He said he and Councilmembers Trevino and Snell have been involved in this work as members of SPAC. Mayor Pro Tem Mullen stated that Commissioner Honts was the committee chairman on the Information Referral/Crisis Intervention System. Mr. Honts said it is his recommendation to have one I & R/Crisis Intervention telephone system. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 3, 1980 Motion Mayor Pro Tem Mullen moved that the Council approve the following recommendations of the Social Policy Advisory Committee: 1. Adoption of the Child Care Policy Statement 2. Approval of proposed Centralized Information & Referral/Crisis Intervention System 3.

Ms. Andrea Beatty, Assistant City Manager, said the money for Carver Library comes out of the CIP; the shelving for Carver is from the CIP; money for shelving for South Austin Multi-purpose Center is out of the budget and has been budgeted; and explained further where the money for various contracts is coming from. Councilmember Himmelblau asked if furnishings for the health clinic could be purchased from CDBG money. Ms. Beatty said, "One of the reasons we got into using general revenue money for the health clinic is because we could not buy the furnishings for the health clinic out of the CDBG money. That was an issue where we were looking to see if we could and found out we could not." Councilmember Goodman asked where we stand with the moving in process in the multi-purpose center and whether we are on schedule and is specifically concerned with the community health nurses who may or may not be in two different locations. They will be officed in the South Austin Community Center about 4-5 blocks away from the multi-purpose center. Dr. Randall, Director of Public Health, said they had requested they provide services in the South Austin Health Center for family planning which the people in South Austin now have to go to the Model Cities Clinic for. They have to go to the Rosewood Annex for immunization. The intent was to make these services available. To meet this need they understand there may be some space available in the multi-purpose center and requested the space for the nurses. Something happened and the Department of Human Services already was using the space. Therefore, the nurses were left where they have been since 1975. Dr. Randall enumerated other services to the community which will be provided and felt service is more important than office space. Councilmember Goodman disagreed. He said their office keeping functions are directly related to their clinical duties. Dr. Randall told him that information is incorrect. He said the records of the patients will be in the clinic. Dr. Randall said he had a meeting that afternoon at 4 p.m. to discuss the problems with the nurses. He reiterated there is not space in the health center for additional offices. Councilmember Goodman asked for a report on that and how the space is being utilized and whether there is more than one conference room. Motion Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council approve the following contracts listed as follows: Mayor Pro Tem Mullen said he has questions about not taking the low bid and spending an extra 3% and how much that will cost the city. He said his concern is whether people who put in a low bid and do not get the contract will continue to bid on projects. Mr. Solon Bennett, Director of Purchasing, • _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS. April 3, 1980 said they have received no complaints about their recommended contract award. They sometimes go with the higher bid when there is a matter of aesthetics involved in the purchase of furnishings.

(South 135' only) _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 3, 1980 Mr. Albert DeLaRosa, Assistant City Attorney, stated, "Council, we pulled this because a letter had been distributed from Mr. James Duncan, about this zoning case. Council heard this case last week and set a number of conditions on it. This letter raises some of the same points Council discussed for example the letter indicated he is requesting instead of a 10' set back, a 25' buffer zone; the Council discussed the need for the 10' as opposed to the 25' buffer and decided on 10' of buffer. Council also required a 6' privacy fence adjacent to the neighborhood. This letter is asking for a security fence around the entire property as well. The Council discussed the need for shrubbery along the western edge of the boundary and decided not to restrict the zoning on this one particular point on the shrubbery. So the same points which are raised in this letter have been discussed by Council last week. The applicant has met the condition, and has submitted his restrictive covenant and is asking for emergency passage." Mr. John Dobbs, president of U-Haul Company, said he has met with the people who were in opposition and they withdrew their opposition. "They are not opposed to what we are doing today. Their concern was the other portion. The emergency passage we're requesting today is only on the south 135'." DISTRIBUTION OF PUBLIC DOCUMENTS Mayor McClellan introduced an Item to Council to consider amending Council resolution concerning the distribution of public documents. Councilmember Himmelblau stated, "This is sort of broad based when you say all city documents. That means someone can come in and say they want a copy of an ordinance and receive it." The Mayor told her it would have to be the request of the designated representative of a non-profit citizen group. Councilmember Himmelblau said she could see budget documents, etc., but the 1975 Council, on the City Clerk's recommendation slowed down on the agendas being sent out. She said she certainly does not want that coming again. Mayor McClellan said she does not want any postage costs involved and hopes to have a parking space available for anyone picking up documents. Councilmember Goodman said he endorses the concept, but he sees problems in having such a broad based resolution. For example, the Austin Association of Builders, which is a non-profit group, could conceivably come in and request voluminous plats running into the thousands of dollars. He said they should maybe restrict the free deliveries to a neighborhood group, because if they pass the ordinance groups could form making themselves conform to the existing criteria. He suggested they may want to impose a fiscal ceiling. After more discussion, City Manager Davidson said he will have Research and Budget come back with a draft policy next week so Council can determine to what extent they want to provide free documents to the public. April 3, 1980 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS BIKEWAY & SIDEWALKRAMPS PROGRAM Acting Director of Urban Transportation, Jim Benson, presented the following City Manager Report on the Bikeway and Sidewalk Ramps Program: The Urban Transportation Department has evaluated the feasibility of constructing a bikeway facility from the southern terminus of Great Northern Blvd. (near Northland Drive) to the Northwest Recreation Center (Northland at Shoal Creek). The Recreation Center recently opened in December and access by bicycle is currently limited to Shoal Creek Blvd. The proposed route (Figure 1) would include: 1. An 8-foot wide, concrete bike path from the southern terminus of Great Northern Blvd. east to the traffic signal at Northland and the MoPac ramps (distance of 544 feet.) 2. Pedestrian signalization and crosswalks from the north side of Northland (at the existing signal) to the traffic island on the south side; a 6-foot wide path through the traffic island (30 feet) and a crosswalk across the eastbound exit ramp (15 feet). 3. A 6-foot wide sidewalk/bikeway from the eastbound exit ramp to the Northwest Recreation Center (630 feet). The estimated cost of the project is $25,000, including curb ramps on both sides of Northland and both sides of the traffic island. It is suggested that the project be implemented with funds available in the 1978-79 Bikeway and Sidewalk Ramps Program of the C.I.P. No right-of-way acquisition would be necessary. It is also desirable to establish an off-street bike facility along Great Northern Blvd. (between the street and the railroad) from Spicewood Springs Road to the street's terminus near Northland Drive (Figure 2). However, the current cost of such a project would approximate $150,000-250,000 for the 1.85 mile length. It should be reviewed in conjunction with development of a city-wide bikeway system and considered during the 1980-85 Capital Improvement Program. In the interim, the existing bike lanes should be extended from Hunt south to White Rock Drive and the street should be opened to bicycles and pedestrians south of White Rock, with bike route signs directing cyclists to the Recreation Center. The proposed facility will ultimately be linked to the Northwest Hills area to the north and to Shoal Creek Blvd. and the Shoal Creek Hike-and-Bike Trail to the south. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 3, 1980 Officials of the Allandale neighborhood association concur with the approval. The Urban Transportation Commission have reviewed and endorsed the plan. Motion Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council adopt the bikeway and Sidewalk Ramps Program: Great Northern Blvd. to Northwest Recreation Center. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Himmelblau, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Goodman, Himmelblau, Mayor Pro Tem Mullen, Councilmember Trevino Noes: None Absent: Councilmember Cooke Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmember Snell 1980 SIDEWALK CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM MOTION Mayor Pro Tem Mullen moved that the Council accept the proposed 1980 Sidewalk Construction Program. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Goodman. Councilmember Goodman said there is a design problem in sidewalks where the walk is on level ground and then approaches the side of a steep driveway. Dr. Jim Benson, Acting Director, Urban Transportation, said he will check over designs and report back to Council. Roll Call on Motion Roll Call on the Motion showed the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Goodman, Himmelblau, Mayor Pro Tem Mullen, Councilmember Trevino, Mayor McClellan Noes: None Absent: Councilmember Cooke Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmember Snell SOCIAL SECURITY RESERVE FUND Mr. Dan Davidson, City Manager, reported as follows on the Social Security Reserve Fund: The City has been advised by the Employees Retirement System of Texas (Social Security Division) that a $200,000 fund established by the City of Austin around 1962 for the purpose of guaranteeing payment of social security amounts is no longer required. Because of this, I recommend the fund be abolished. April 3, 1980 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS This reserve fund presently is in the form of $201,000 U.S. Treasury Bonds purchased in 1972 which mature February 15, 1982. They produce income at a rate of 6.375%. If sold today, these bonds would produce only $175,373. Initially, this reserve fund was established by appropriation from the General Fund of $141,000 and from the Utility Fund of $60,000. I would like the Council to approve an ordinance which would enable the City to do one of the following: 1. Abolish the Social Security Reserve Fund and transfer the bonds to the City of Austin Payroll Reserve Fund for Worker's Compensation liability. 2. Abolish the Social Security Reserve Fund and transfer the bonds to the General Fund and Utility Fund. 3. Abolish the Social Security Reserve Fund, sell the bonds and divide the proceeds on the same ratio to the funds from which the money was appropriated in 1962. I recommend the first option to build up reserves in the Payroll Reserve Fund. This would be a first step to consolidate all funding related to worker's compensation in single fund. Currently, medical compensation and settlements are budgeted in the Payroll Reserve Fund, and wage continuation and worker's compensation are billed to departments. Motion Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council approve Option 1 for the Social Security Reserve Fund. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Goodman, Himmelblau, Mayor Pro Tem Mullen, Councilmember Trevino, Mayor McClellan Noes: None Absent: Councilmember Cooke Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmember Snell MOPAC SOUND BARRIERS City Manager Davidson reported on MoPac Sound Barriers. "We have a current request from the Texas Department of Highways and Urban Transportation to increase the contribution of the City of Austin in order to construct the sound barrier walls along MoPac. I bring this to your attention because the agreement Council had approved on this item did limit the city's participation to $16.00 a foot and to a specific dollar amount. That dollar amount was $346,520.00. We were notified that the state expects the city to increase the amount of city participation if we are going to proceed with the project. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 3, 1980 the low bid is $465,821.00 and that is what we would be expected to pay instead of the $346,520. I outlined a number of options Council had. We can either agree to increase the city's participation so this project can proceed as designed without delay. We could request that the length of the wall be reduced so our participation would come within the amount originally agreed to." Motion Mayor Pro Tem Mullen made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman to fund the MoPac Sound Barriers out of the Capital Improvements Program. Councilmember Goodman requested an updated report on whether or not there will be any impact on other CIP projects. Daron Butler, Assistant City Manager, stated, "At this point we would have to go in and look at CIP projects that have been appropriated and approved and recommend to the City Council some categories and options for decreasing funding in those areas in order to fund this amount of money. I made the recommendation to City Manager that he ask the Council for an amendment to the fund balance for two reasons. 1. Several weeks ago Council went through a very deliberate and difficult process to find the money to fund the Spicewood Springs project in its entirety. We had at that point made some modifications in some existing CIP projects. That put us into a narrow margin on those for the future. 2. I was looking ahead to when the Council might hold another General Obligation Bond Election; and the size of it; and felt like we would have a period in the public works CIP when we would be bringing back many of these types of items on an interim basis in the future. I recommended to the Manager that we begin to consider that and protect that CIP margin and as difficult a decision as it would be for all of us to go to the General Fund Ending Balance we could go to the area where we have the most latitude. We probably have four projects we could look at initially to come up with $120,000. We could re-examine our committment to the 38½ Street Project. We could look at the alley paving program and bikeway and sidewalk ramps money from 77-78 and sidewalk construction. Those are the types of options and trade-offs we can look at." Mayor Pro Tem Mullen said that in March it was decided to take the money from a Public Works CIP project. Mr. Butler said that is right, but the money is now down to a low margin and they can have the option to deplete that entirely if that is Council's desire. Mr. Davidson said thay wanted an indication that Council wants staff to notify the State that the City of Austin is willing to meet their requests so that the barrier wall can be constructed. He said when they come back next week with an ordinance appropriating the money they can have an updated status for Council which will list options from where the money can be obtained. • April 3, 1980 =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Motion Mayor Pro Tem Mullen withdrew his motion and moved that the Council approve the project. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Pro Tem Mullen, Councilmembers Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Goodman, Himmelblau Noes: None Absent: Councilmember Cooke CITIZEN COMMUNICATION MR. RICK ISLES, representing Rockford Furniture, objected to the fact furniture for city facilities is somtimes purchased when it is not the low bid, but because the architect says one system of furniture is better looking and will fit into a building better. He said if two systems are equal, then usually the low bid is accepted. ZONINGS SET FOR PUBLIC HEARING 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 April 24, 1980.
