CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS July 3, 1980 SALE OF WATER TO ANDERSON MILL ESTATES Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council adopt a resolution authorizing the sale of water to Anderson Mill Estates by approval of the sale of water by the District to the subdivision. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Mullen, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmember Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell Noes: None Prior to the vote, Mr. Bulloch, Director of Water and Wastewater, said this was brought back to Council and two options were presented to Council, (1) Approval of the sale of water by the District to the subdivision; or, (2) Approval of annexation by the District of subdivision. Councilmember Himmelblau asked which would be best for the City of Austin. Mr. Bulloch told her either option will protect the city's interest as far as the system operations and ultimate annexation. He said as far as annexation is concerned by the city, services outside the MUD customer would be more preferable in this case, if the city chooses to annex this in the future. "If the city chooses to annex this in the future as part of the MUD they would have to annex the entire MUD by current policy and by State Law." Councilmember Himmelblau asked, "If this were carried on would this set a precedent by selling water through any of the other MUD's?" Mr. Mulloch told her all sales have to be approved by the Council and they are recommending this because of the peculiar circumstances but any time the MUD wants to serve a customer outside, it has to come before Council. Councilmember Himmelblau said, "It certainly wouldn't work any hardship on the city to annex the MUD with just 24 more houses there which is the extent of the subdivision." Mr. Davidson said they do not think it would set the kind of precedent which she is referring to. RAINEY STREET MORATORIUM Council had before it for consideration an ordinance amending the Rainey Street Moratorium Ordinance to allow the issuance of a building permit for an application which had been filed with the Building Inspection Department prior to the effective date of the moratorium.

He said the company, which has been at the same location for over 15 years, had been in the process of requesting a building permit for the past 4-5 months in order to expand their warehouse space which is needed for their business. He requested the one time waiver of the Moratorium Ordinance. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS July 3, 1980 Councilmember Snell asked if there are any other businesses in the same situation under the Moratorium. Mr. Lonnie Davis, Director of Building Inspection, told him there are none. Councilmember Himmelblau asked if there is a house on the lot. Mr. Main told her it has been taken down and the lot now is rather unsightly. Mayor McClellan introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 800508-M (THE RAINEY STREET MORATORIUM ORDINANCE); PROVIDING THAT THE MORATORIUM SHALL NOT APPLY TO THE ISSUANCE OF A BUILDING PERMIT FOR WHICH AN APPLICATION HAS BEEN FILED WITH THE BUILDING INSPECTION DEPARTMENT PRIOR TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE MORATORIUM; SUSPENDING THE RULE REQUIRING THE READING OF ORDINANCES ON THREE SEPARATE SAYS; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.

Councilmember Mullen, at the time he made the motion, made the following statement: "I move we approve this one time waiver and I would also like to say it's interesting that the Council passed on a 7-0 vote about ten minutes ago an exception to the moratorium on the Lake Austin Peninsula Moratorium. It is not unusual for us to do this. It is very usual. When people are in the process and get caught and don't know what type of thing is happening, for us to make an exception. I don't know what the reluctance is in this situation when people get caught between the crack not knowing what is happening down at City Hall."

Councilmember Himmelblau stated, "Because it will pass ultimately, I will change my vote." Mayor McClellan said, "All right, if you will change your vote today it will prevent us from going through three readings on separate days." Vote Corrected Ayes: Councilmembers Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell, Mayor McClellan Noes: Councilmembers Cooke, Trevino The Mayor announced that the ordinance had been finally passed on an emergency basis. WATER AND WASTEWATER CONTRACT SPRINGWOODS JOINT VENTURE Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council adopt a resolution authorizing a Water and Wastewater Contract with Springwoods Joint Venture, Springwoods Corporation and Springwoods Municipal Utility District. The motion, seconded by Mayor McClellan, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Goodman, Himmelblau, Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmember Cooke Noes: Councilmember Mullen ASSESSMENT PAVING POLICY Mr. John German, Director of Public Works, presented the following City Manager Report on the Assessment Paving Policy: "The current paving policy, adopted by the City Council on December 14, 1978, provides for an annual review of paving costs by the Director of Public Works, and recommendations for amendments to the assessment rates cited in Exhibit "A". A copy of the existing policy and the rates is attached. There have been no revisions to the assessment paving rates since the policy's adoption in December, 1978. The annual review has been made. The study indicates that costs have increased an average of about 34% since March, 1978. Therefore, it is recommended that the assessment rates be increased to recover these increased costs. A summary of the study results are provided to support this recommendation." • Paving CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS July 3, 1980 The increases have not been equal in all areas of construction. Based upon unit prices bid in City contracts over the last two years, the increases have been as follows: March 1978 March 1980 Cost Index Cost Index Increase Excavation $ 6.59 1:00 $ 9.49 1.44 44% Crushed Lime- Stone Base 10.32 1.00 14.22 1.38 38% Hot-mix Asphalt 1.73 1.00 2.28 1.32 32% Subtotal $18.64 1.00 $25.99 1.39 39% Curb and Gutter 3.58 1.00 3.80 1.06 6% Total $22.22 1.00 $29.79 1.34 34% "Table I attached summarizes the incremental cost increases for these four ingredients of a street construction project. Paving costs increased by 39% while curb and gutter costs increased by only 6%. "By state law, the City can assess adjacent property owners for 100% of the cost of curb and gutter, and for 90% of the cost of paving (excavation, base, and hot mix surfacing). The City can also assess for other improvements such as sidewalks and storm drainage facilities. However, the City has not included these items in the assessment rates in the past. "Table II translates these costs to streets of varying widths and types in March, 1978. Table III compares that data with the costs for March, 1980. For example, the cost for a linear foot of residential street (30' wide) increased from $30.20 in March, 1978 to $41.98 in March, 1980. The amount assessed to residential property owners in March, 1978 was $12.75 or about 42% of the total cost. Using that same percentage, the new assessment rate would be $17.63. In both cases, owner-occupants area are allowed a 25% discount. The old and new rates in this case are $9.55 and $13.22 per front foot. "Using the data provided, rate adjustments in all other categories were calculated. Those are presented in Table IV. They have not been rounded or adjusted for other factors." CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS July 3, 1980 "In order tosimplify the payment and accounting process, Table V reflects the recommended changes to Exhibit "A". It suggests lowering the rate slightly for residentially developed property, and increasing the rate slightly for all other types of development. Notes are also added for side and rear lot credits, rates for churches and schools, exclusion of HCD-funded projects, and Community Development Districts 5, 6, and 18. Districts 5 and 6 border Boggy Creek and are adjacent to Tillery Street. Community Development District 18 is in near South Austin between South Congress and the MOPAC Railroad extending from Town Lake to Ben White. "It is my recommendation that the City Council adopt these new rates and make them applicable to all projects for which the assessment process is initiated after July 3, 1980. "These changes do not effect any of the other provisions of the Paving Assessment Policy, such as notice provisions, evaluation of all assessments by an independent appraiser, avenues for appeals to the City Council, or the ability of property owners to pay the assessment out over five years at 7% interest. Further, the policy of deferring action to collect for unpaid assessments against homesteads will be continued." Mr. Davidson, City Manager, told Council, "We don't need a vote per se on the policy. If it is all right we will bring it back in two or three weeks. I would simply point out as an observation that maintaining a policy of trying to keep these rates as current as possible will help prevent deterioration of our Capital Improvements and I think will help protect some of the resources that we will want to have during a very tough budget year. Unless the Council has a problem we will schedule this to come back in two or three weeks." Mr. German stated, "This also very closely tied to the participation policy which the Council considered several weeks ago." RETIREMENT BOARD ELECTION PROCEDURES Mr. Jimmie Flakes Jr., Director of Personnel presented the following City Manager Report on Retirement Board Election: "In March of this year you were presented with information which indicated that we needed to look at our Retirement Board Election procedure and we were instructed to go back and analyze the Retirement Board Election procedures and we came up with some recommendations related to the problems we discovered. We discovered (1) that a division did not get an opportunity to vote on election day; (2) there was not a formal system to account for ballot distribution, but we did have a system for overall accountability; (3) the election process in each department was not closely monitored and procedures did not provide for a challenge; and (4) we did not have absentee voting procedures. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS July 3, 1980 "We reviewed these findings and came up with some recommendations relative to the Retirement Board election and they fall in seven basic categories: 1. Each department should name an individual (s) who will be responsible for monitoring the elction process in his/her department. The Personnel Department will train these representatives in proper election procedures. 2. Procedures should be developed to provide absentee voting opportunities for those employees who will not be on duty on election day or who have unusual work hours. 3. Employees should be reminded of the election and polling hours on the day of the election. Data Systems should print such a reminder on employees' check stubs for this purpose. In addition, communications prior to election day should include information for the employee regarding the election process. 4. The nominating and Election Committee together with the Personnel Department should develop and retain a permanent file of election results, challenges, complaints and other pertinent data. 5. Candidates should be provided the opportunity to challenge the election results. If no challenges are received, or if challenges are resolved by December 31 following the election, new members will take office the first meeting in January. In the event of a challenge still unresolved after this date, new members will not take office until the first meeting in February. 6. The Nominating and Election Committee should initiate a "Hot-line" service to answer questions/complaints on election day and to receive questions/complaints following the election. 7. Initial results of the election should be provided to the City Council and City Manager. A final report to the Council and the City Manager should also be presented to advise of the disposition of any challenge/complaints and any changes in the initial results. =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS July 3, 1980 "Essentially, those are our recommendations and these are the things we would incorporate into our election procedures which will result in a change in the ordinance this year or early next year." Mr. Davidson stated, "We appreciate the fact that many organizations and individuals have looked at these proposed amendments, including Mr. Peter Fears of AFSCME who looked at this and subscribes to the proposals. As far as we are concerned, all it would take for the Council to approve this would be a simple motion and we will put it all into effect." Councilmember Cooke asked, "Who will investigate complaints?" Mr. Flakes told him the Nomination and Election Committee which is appointed by Council, and "We could revise that however you all would like it." Councilmember Trevino asked who determines the amount of candidates who will parti- cipate for the elections. Mr. Flakes told him the Nominations and Election Committee. If there should be a change in the number of people, the ordinance could be changed if that is what Council directs. Councilmember Trevino felt this point should be looked at and if Council needs to amend it at a later date, they will. Motion Councilmember Trevino moved that the Council approve the Retirement Board Election Procedures as proposed. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Cooke, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmember Noes: Cooke None Not in Council Chambers when roll was called: Councilmembers Himmelblau, Mullen, Goodman ZONING HEARING Mayor McClellan opened the public hearing scheduled for 9:30 a.m. on the following application. Pursuant to published notice thereof, the following zoning was publicly heard: T.F. WALKER, ET UX 1725 W. 6th Street 1722 W. 5th Street 1723 W. 6th Street 1724 W. 5th Street AND RICHARD WALKER By Jay Prasifks C14-80-076 From "A" Residence 1st Height and Area To "0" Office 1st Height and Area RECOMMENDED by the Planning Commission subject to the site plan submitted and to recommend to the Council based on the study done in this area it supports zoning more intensive than residential on the south side of Sixth St. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS July 3, 1980 Mr. Lillie told Council this case has been postponed from their Agenda from last week. The property in question is next to the MoPac Interchange and an alternate site plan had been recommended last week. Jim Person, the prospective buyer of the property, said he wants to keep a residential appearance to the property on 6th Street and plans to locate his office on the site. Ms. Eden Box appeared and said she owns property at 6th and Patterson and favors the change from residential to "0". She told Council that Charles Marsh, Allen Tanaguchi, Allen Knutt and Dave Brunowski all have property on West 6th Street and support the change, but were unable to be in the Council Chamber for the hearing. Also, Charles Crowsland. Rick Patrick, representing PANNIC (Patterson Avenue Area Neighborhood Integrity Committee), who lives one block from the site, said they are opposed to the zoning change. They want to keep the neighborhood residential. Steve Johns, also from PANNIC, said Patterson Avenue is the only crossing allowing their neighborhood to go to 5th Street. They do not want increased traffic from a business which will prevent their use of the street. Phyllis Friede, also a member of PANNIC, told Council a new building would be an eyesore. Jan Packard, 609 Theresa, said she has lived in the area 20 years and is against too much traffic. Jim Person returned to state the new building will be residential style and the two houses on 6th Street will be renovated. He told Council a traffic light is needed on 6th Street at West Lynn. Mayor McClellan expressed her feeling that mixed uses can preserve an area. She said it is unrealistic to think the corner lot situated on MoPac can continue residential. Councilmember Cooke pointed out that Councilmember Mullen, has made a strong commitment to mitigate noise problems on MoPac. Councilmember Cooke feels that it is important to balance residential and commercial activity in the core area. Councilmember Mullen stated, "One of the problems of getting around in Austin is the east-west accessibility. We don't have it. Every where we try to do something, we have a fight about it. This has been turned into east-west accessibility and it is not going to change. The street is a major thoroughfare whether you like it or not and it is really not appropriate for residents on a long term basis to try and keep it that way. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS July 3, 1980 Property owners have rights too, and if society comes in and changes the utilization of the street in front of them, making a major thoroughfare, to try to make those people continue those lots as residents is not proper. I don't think we are doing our job by not re-zoning areas such as along I-35 or 183, or wherever we change the usage we ought to let the property owners change the usage too." Councilmember Goodman said, "That is one view and another view would certainly take into consideration any impact upon the neighborhood. I have routinely voted against all of the "0" office changes on 6th street and will vote against this one today and I feel that's a part of doing my job also." Motion Councilmember Cooke moved that the Council grant "0" office, 1st Height and Area as recommended by the Planning Commission either Site Plan 1 or 2, subject to conditions. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Mullen, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Mullen, Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Himmelblau Noes: Councilmember Goodman The Mayor announced that the change had been granted to "0" office, 1st Height and Area, either Site Plan 1 or 2 subject to conditions, and the City Attorney was instructed to draw the necessary ordinance to cover.

Art Keller, Executive Director, said he thought they should be in a spot place so the whole parade will not be held up. Councilmember Mullen suggested the Camp Gary Drill Team as a pre-parade attraction. Mayor McClellan suggested Mr. Keller work with the unit and figure out the best places for the Drill Team to stop along the way to demonstrate their skill. Mr. Keller said he would. Mr. Thad Holt presented Skipper pins to members of the new Council.

He suggested members of the Commission should be John Connally, Barbara Jordan, Henry B. Gonzales, General McDermott, and himself. Mr. Flynn asked if the Council will take any action. Councilmember Goodman suggested he contact the proposed members to determine if they would be willing to serve on such a committee.

"SUN-N-FEST" Councilmember Trevino moved that the Council approve the request of the Allendale Neighborhood Association for permission to sell beer in Northwest Park, Saturday, July 19, 1980, from 10:00 a.m. to 7:30p.m., in conjunction with the Annual Northwest Recreation's "SUN-N-FUN Fest."

After some discussion in which Councilmember Mullen questioned Mr. Green, the representative of PEBSCO, regarding the quality of the vehicles and products, it was decided to postpone a decision until July 17, 1980. In the meantime, Councilmember Mullen asked to see a list and percentages concerning the companies who will get the business under PEBSCO. member Goodman asked for it also. TRAINING DIVES IN TOWN LAKE Council- Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council approve the request from Travis County Emergency Unit Rescue Squad to make two training dives in Town Lake near Festival Beach. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen, Noes: Snell, Trevino None Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmember Cooke CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS July 3, 1980 ANNUAL REPORT ON PAYMENT IN LIEU OF TAXES Dr. Charles Urdy, Chairman, Austin Housing Authority appeared before Council to report on the Annual Report and Payment in lieu of Taxes. He referred to their Annual Report and encouraged Council to review the document at their convenience and referred them to specific pages for charts and information. Dr. Urdy then presented a check to Council for payment in lieu of taxes for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1980, in the amount of $94,295.12. He said the Travis County Tax Assessor/Collector will receive $3,071.26 as its share of payment in lieu of taxes. Dr. Urdy pointed out the "Housing Authority is the only local public agency that does not completely remove its property from a tax base. Since 1939 when the first public housing community was completed the Housing Authority has paid approximately $800,000 to the local taxing bodies as payment in lieu of taxes. It is our opinion that taken as a whole these properties would not have generated an equal amount of taxes over that time period, so we are pleased to contribute to the economic base and stability of the City of Austin. Additionally we hope our housing programs and administration contributes to the social stability of Austin as well. We have worked very hard in the past two years to operate efficient public housing programs for low and moderate income families and also make Austin taxpayers feel comfortable with that portion of their tax dollar expenditure." Dr. Urdy then affixed his signature to the check and presented it to Mayor McClellan. She thanked him for the check and said the city appreciates his good work. DATES AND TIMES FOR PUBLIC HEARINGS 1980-81 CIP AND OPERATING BUDGET Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council set the following dates and times for public hearings and consideration of 1980-85 CIP and 1980-81 Operating Budget.

Council Consideration and Approval September 18 (Thursday) - Regular Council Meeting RESOLUTION RE URBAN RENEWAL REDEVELOPMENT AREA Councilmembers Goodman and Trevino put before Council for consideration the rescinding of the City Council resolution of June 14, 1979, designating an Urban Renewal Redevelopment Area in the Central City adjacent to Town Lake. Councilmember Goodman said this was a recommendation from the Planning Commission some months ago as an original part of the American Cities Plan to have the authorization in the Central City. He said since the plan has been abandoned and they have taken action on every other plan the Planning Commission recommended to them concerning it, he thought the above resolution should be rescinded also. Councilmember Cooke told him they have not taken every other action. Councilmember Goodman told Council the resolution can be re-implemented sometime in the future but should not be left on the books now. Mayor McClellan stated, "I thought it was a necessary first step to any thing happening and that it transcended any specific American Cities Plan or what have you. I think, according to law and everything else, before anything could occur there you would need to have this designation so I see no reason to remove it." Discussion ensued on these conflicting views. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS July 3, 1980 Motion FAILED Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council rescind the City Council resolution of June 14, 1979, designating an Urban Renewal Redevelopment Area in the Central City adjacent to Town Lake. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Trevino, failed to carry by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Goodman, Snell, Trevino Noes: Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Himmelblau, Mullen SOUTH TEXAS NUCLEAR PROJECT Council had before it a resolution to consider instructing the City Manager to pursue options relating to the South Texas Nuclear Project (as requested in City Council Work Session on June 25, 1980.) Councilmember Goodman thought the City Manager should consider finding a purchaser for the city's entire share. Mayor McClellan opined the City Manager should explore the sale of 50 megawatts to Brownsville. Councilmember Goodman said the city should sell 150 to 250 megawatts. Motion Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council adopt a resolution to instruct the City Manager to explore the sale of 50 megawatts to Brownsville at market value. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Cooke, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmember Cooke Noes: Councilmember Goodman EQUAL EMPLOYMENT ORDINANCE Council had before it for consideration the amending of the Equal Employment Ordinance to provide a new definition of "handicapped person" to encompass both physical and mental impairment. Mayor McClellan stated, "I had asked for some research on this in other cities and supplied you with a copy of it. No Texas cities have this in effect right now. Some others do and most of those have some cases yet untested." Councilmember Goodman said, "I think in the areas where they have had this type of ordinance provision in effect there have been few problems with it and in some cases, none at all. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS July 3, 1980 Motion FAILED Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council amend the Equal Employment Ordinance to provide a new definition of "handicapped person" to encompass both physical and mental impairment. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Snell, failed to carry by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Snell, Trevino, Goodman Noes: Councilmember Mullen, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Himmelblau Councilmember Himmelblau stated, "I think it works a hardship on the employer because the way I read the ordinance it puts the burden of proof right squarely on their shoulders." Councilmember Goodman said, "I think it's regrettable that Council would react to the type of comments we've had on this particular case when there was no substantiation whatsoever about the burden it would allegedly place on the employers and I think it is discriminatory to not adopt this particular provision." ANNEXATIONS ALONG 290, OAK HILL AND 183 Councilmember Himmelblau introduced an item to Council concerning the possibility of annexations along U.S. 290 west to Oak Hill and U.S. 183 north west. She said "I have been anxious to annex to the Oak Hill area for a number of years and also to look to further annexation along 183 north, namely Anderson Mill and would like to have some sort of a fiscal note from the staff and also response from the Planning Department." Councilmember Goodman said, "I'd like to see us extend down 290 and 71 west. Mr. Lillie has advised me he will have a more complete report to present to the Council on July 24th, so I have no other comments to make and will wait until Mr. Lillie makes that presentation." EXTENSION OF LOOP 360 Councilmember Cooke introduced an item to Council concerning prior consideration of the extension of Loop 360 from U.S. 183 to 1325 North. "As you may recall, the Manager, at the first part of the year, gave us a comprehensive research memo on MoPac Boulevard and all the obligations there of. I'm not speaking to that particular issue today. Whereas there are several thousand single family residences on 183 and probably during this decade will far exceed 10,000 because the growth plan speaks to a north-south corridor, a Loop 360 bridge will be finished in 2½ years and based on predictions of former Director of Urban Transportation Joe Ternus and recommendations of ATS of expansion, that it would provide better flow around our city and give some relief to our inner city, I'd like to bring back a resolution on the 17th to give a loud message to the Highway Department to give them some indication of where this Council is going on this particular facility. I think we need to proceed now." Mayor and other members of the Council concurred that this would be appropriate. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS July 3, 1980 INSURANCE FOR PART-TIME EMPLOYEES Motion Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council direct the City Manager to direct staff to negotiate a contract with Connecticut General for a plan of health insurance for part-time employees whereby employees would pay for their own insurance. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Trevino, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmember Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen Noes: None Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmember Snell.
