  • Addressed Public Service Costs & Concerns:

    Scheduled public hearings on upcoming water, sewer, and sanitation rate increases, amidst strong public criticism regarding proposed public transportation fare hikes and service cuts.

CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS August 7, 1980. Councilmember Himmelblau asked him when it was filed. Mr. DeLaRosa said that according to Mr. Davis, it was filed yesterday afternoon. Councilmember Himmelblau said, "I would still like to go with the moratorium. The Allandale people asked if there was any discussion on this that it be held until after 3 p.m. The Planning Commission voted unanimously for this roll back and we won't get it until the 28th." Mr. Lonnie Davis appeared and said, "Even though the plans were filed yesterday afternoon, that is of course a totally completed set of plans which would obviously indicate the proposal has been worked on for 6-8 months." Mr. DeLaRosa said, "I would suggest if Council is going to pass the ordinance, that there be a specific inclusion of this particular piece of property within the ambit of the moratorium so that the staff will know specifically how it will proceed to handle this building permit request." Mayor McClellan asked, "You are advising there is no problem with including this?" Mr. DeLaRosa said, "That's right because as I understand it, the review process for this building process is only beginning at this particular point in time. The application has been filed but the building permit has not been issued and will not be issued for 8-10 days. So if City Council wants to include this, it can, but the Council should at least instruct the staff to specifically include this project within the moratorium." Mr. Davis told Council they are requesting some specific action on this particular property. Councilmember Himmelblau stated, "I feel the whole area that was heard by the Planning Commission should be included." Councilmember Trevino said, "That was my intention when I co-signed this particular item. Include it." Councilmember Himmelblau said, "So this parcel, whatever it is, should be included in the ordinance." Councilmember Mullen asked, "Can this person then come back in and discuss getting an exception to the case?" Mr. Albert DeLaRosa said, "Certainly." Councilmember Mullen said they should get more details on the property, and that is what has been done on other moratoriums when a piece of property is caught in between. He said this person should be informed of the procedure. Mr. Davis said that would be fine but he did want Council to know how far along this case has proceeded. ITEM PULLED FROM AGENDA Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the following ordinance be pulled from the Agenda: Consider amending the 1979-80 Operating Budget by appropriating $39,100 from the General Fund Ending Balance to the Finance Department to authorize 13 additional FTE's and additional equipment. The motion, seconded by Mayor McClellan, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmember Cooke Noes: None • CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS August 7, 1980 UDAG APPLICATION PROCESS Mr. Carlos Herrera, Director of Human Services, presented the following outline on the Urban Development Action Grant Proposed Application Process: Aug. 11-13, 1980 Series of Informational Meetings to inform the public of the UDAG program.

Jan. 22, 1981 Council approval of application for submission to HUD. Councilmember Goodman said he thought an agenda item shoild be included on August 21, 1980 to set a public hearing for September 25. Councilmember Cooke commended the principle of UDAG and said it is good to incorporate people who are involved in economic development. DISCUSSION OF STORM TRACT Dr. David Reed, Parks and Recreation Department, presented the City Manager's Report on the Storm Tract. He said the acquisition of this tract of land for a City park is in the Austin Tomorrow Plan. It is one of the last remaining natural areas in the city. Stuart Strong, Parks and Recreation Department staff ecologist, showed slides of the tract. He said the varied species of flora, fauna and wild life have been well preserved for an area in an urban location. Councilmember Himmelblau asked, "When would we have any indication from the trust ownership as far as their purchase option...if they would be interested in purchasing this?" Mr. Leonard Ehrler, Director of Parks and Recreation, said he thinks they are waiting to see what the City does. Councilmember Himmelblau said, "I would rather see something like what was referred to where it wouldn't take City dollars, but still it would maintain the characteristics and preserve that tract of land. I also feel that with St. Edwards and the Austin Independent School District (AISD) using it, that it shouldn't be just the City's responsibility to purchase and preserve this tract. Instead of seeing it as a CIP (Capital Improvement Program) item for the City, there are other entities that would be using it to a great extent. If the trust for public land doesn't go through these other entities should be asked to form a corporate agreement with the City and purchase the land. My last question is, we checked on the tax rolls and it's only on the tax rolls for $500,000 yet I understand the asking price is $1.6 million. To me, that's a tremendous discrepancy." Mayor McClellan said, "I think it's a great piece of land. The School District has looked at it for some time. I traipsed over that property several years ago when we thought about putting a junior high school there. I would like to see it in the Capital Improvements Program. I think Betty has valid concerns if it is going to be a natural area used for educational purposes, the school district might very well enter into some sort of an agreement on use." Councilmember Himmelblau said she would like to see a purchase agreement between the two if it is going to be used as an outdoor classroom for them. "It has been an outdoor classroom for St. Ed's. Let's split the financial responsibility I would like to see it preserved, but not solely at the City's expense." CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS August 7, 1980 Councilmember Cooke said that approach is valid, but he does not know if it is realistic. The Mayor said this may have to enter later into use rather than purchase. Mayor McClellan said if this is in our CIP program we're going to have to go and get monies." Councilmember Himmelblau wants to find out more about the discrepancy in the tax rolls and have the City appraisers look at it." Councilmember Mullen pointed out that this same report had been given to the Parks and Recreation Board and he had asked that Council listen to it also, because it is an excellent report. He expressed his appreciation and said Council is now ready to look at the possible purchase of the Storm Tract for park land. EXEMPTION TO LAKE AUSTIN PENINSULA MORATORIUM Mr. Daron Butler, Assistant City Manager, discussed the City Manager's Report on the request by Mr. Phelan regarding a special exemption to the Lake Austin Peninsula Moratorium. He said Mr. Phelan "had approached Council last week, under Citizen Communication, asking that his piece of property be exempted. Our recommendation is that since this is 3/10 acre lot surrounded by developed lots on a public roadway that we can see no reason not to recommend to Council that he be allowed to build on the single lot and if Council agrees we would bring back the ordinance on the 21st exempting his piece of property from the Moratorium" Council had no objections. STREET MODIFICATIONS Dr. Jim Benson, reported on Proposed Street Modifications Along Guadalupe and Lavaca Between 7th and 8th Streets, as follows: "The Capital National Bank is currently constructing new facilities in the area bounded by Guadalupe Street on the west, Lavaca Street on the east, 7th Street on the south and the 8th Street alley on the north. These facilities, covering 1-1/2 blocks of the CBD (Central Business District), include a drive-in banking facility, a 625 car parking garage, and a multi-story office building. The Urban Transportation Department has been working closely with the bank to develop a traffic management plan to help minimize the impact this development would have on traffic in the adjacent area. In addition, our staff has reviewed the modifications with the Planning Department since the center line of Guadalupe Street is the boundary for the National Historic District. Since there are no changes to Guadalupe Street the Planning Department felt there would be no adverse effects on the Historic District which would require review by the Landmark Commission. "7th and 8th Street Modifications Curb and sidewalk extensions are proposed on 7th Street and on 8th Street which would incorporate the planting of trees and landscaping between Guadalupe and Lavaca Streets. On 7th Street it is proposed to widen the sidewalk on the north side by eight (8) feet and to plant (11) trees. These modifications would then reduce 7th Street to three 12-foot lanes for traffic (one-way east bound) with parallel parking on each side of the street. -CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS August 7, 1980 "On 8th Street it is proposed to widen the sidewalk approximately sixteen (16) feet on the north side, plant twelve (12) trees, with additional landscaping to provide grass covered areas. Additional tree planting and landscaping is proposed on the south side of the street. Two through lanes would be left on 8th Street for westbound traffic, and parallel parking would be provided on the south side and one-half of the north side. "At the northwest corner of 8th and Lavaca Streets the corner would be extended southward blocking two (2) of the four (4) lanes on 8th Street. This would provide for a dual right turn from 8th Street to Lavaca Street. The narrowing of 8th Street from 4 to 2 lanes between Lavaca and Guadalupe will also alleviate a problem the Urban Transportation Department has at the Guadalupe/8th Street intersection. Currently, four (4) lanes of westbound traffic approach Guadalupe Street on 8th Street; at Guadalupe three (3) lanes must turn left on to Guadalupe since on the west side of this intersection 8th Street becomes a two-way facility with one lane in each direction. "The bank has requested that the City participate on a 50/50 basis in: (1) in the cost of the concrete work only for the 7th Street sidewalk widening; and (2) in the cost of both the sidewalk construction and landscaping on the north side of 8th Street. The bank has estimated the costs of the improvements which the City would participate in on a 50-50 basis at $38,280 (i.e. $10,160 for the proposed 7th Street modifications and $28,120 for the proposed 8th Street modifications). A detailed breakdown of these cost estimates is attached. The bank has further agreed that should the costs exceed the $38,280 estimate, that the City participation would be limited to $19,140 (i.e. half the estimated cost). Should the City Council decide not to participate in these improvements, the bank will reduce the scope of the improvements. Lavaca Street Modifications "Regardless of the decision on City participation on the proposed 7th and 8th Street modification the bank would make the following modifications requested by the Urban Transportation Department to accommodate the bank and parking garage traffic. These modifications to be made at the bank's expense include the following: 1) In the 700 block and southern half of the 800 block of Lavaca, the curb would be reconstructed three (3) feet back from the existing curbline and additional paving would be added to the roadway to provide an additional traffic lane. This lane would be available to traffic turning left at 8th Street and/or to store vehicles waiting to enter the bank drive-thru facility. A guard would be provided by the bank on peak service days to help provide for traffic safety. The bank also plans to provide three (3) feet of sidewalk area on their property in the 700 block. Parallel parking would be removed on the west side of Lavaca Street for the block and a half. 2) At the parking garage exit in the 800 block of Lavaca Street an island would be constructed to help protect vehicles entering Lavaca Street. The design of the island would be submitted to City staff for approval prior to construction. =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS August 7, 1980 3) Request the removal of six (6) metered parking spaces between the alley and 9th Street to construct an acceleration lane for the parking garage. The removal of the meters would require City Council approval. In addition, the meters are adjacent to the Hersfield House which is on the National Historic Register and the City would seek concurrence from the owners before Council approval for the removal of these meters as sought. "The proposed modifications along Lavaca Street will provide for the operation of the drive-in banking facilities and parking garage without adversely effecting traffic operations along Lavaca Street. The bank has agreed to the construction of these modifications at no cost to the City. Staff Recommendations "The Urban Transportation Department recommends the proposed modifications to provide for the safe and efficient movement of traffic in the downtown area. The department also recommends that the City Council consider participation in the proposed 7th and 8th Street modifications using Capital Improvement Funds in that: a. The modifications would improve traffic operations along 8th Street by providing for dual right turns onto Lavaca Street and dual left turns onto Guadalupe Street, and b. The additional sidewalk and landscape work would help beautify downtown Austin." Mr. Benson introduced Mr. HAL HAFNER, Project and Facilities Manager of Capital National Bank, who spoke in favor of the mall concept. Councilmember Cooke stated, "If we decide to participate it would be in concert with what the voters decided in 1979 by an allocation of around $215,000 for these kind of projects for City participation in the CBD and so I think we do have an expression for this kind of a concept as far as the City participation in it is concerned." area. Mayor McClellan said, "We are talking about streets in the downtown Have we done traffic counts. That street, in effect, has been closed for the construction period so the cars have been diverted. I'd be interested in a traffic count. I want to make sure everyone has full notice of what's being proposed because you are going two lanes on one street with the possibility of the mall on the next block. Three lanes over here.. I think we need to think of the whole downtown area and make sure everyone has a full understanding. ... We ought to make everyone fully aware of what we are doing and proceed and have some traffic counts and have all the things some one is going to ask about later." City Manager Davidson told Mayor and Council that the comments that have been made are appropriate. Capital National Bank has responded to a request the City posed asking them not to create a drive-in or parking facility that will compound the streets instead of help alleviate the problems that normally result. "Today we wanted to present this concept as a report item. We've got to come back to Council at another time for the actual approval of CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS August 7, 1980 the funding for our part and actual and detailed approval of the plan itself. With your permission we will proceed to make certain all surrounding property owners and interested groups in and around the downtown area have the privilege of reviewing this prior to the time we bring it back for your detailed approval. We wanted to know what you generally thought of this so we could go ahead and proceed. We'll make certain that the Mayor's concern about notification is taken care of." SOUTHWEST AREA STUDY SOUTHWEST A & B WATER SERVICE REPORT Daron Butler, Assistant City Manager, reported on the Southwest Area Study. He said, "The Council was asked to consider a moratorium on subdivisions in certain areas of the community, particularly in those areas in the southwest portion of the City or the City's ETJ (Extraterritorial Jurisdiction) which contribute recharge to the Edwards Aquifer. Late Tuesday we completed all of our staff work and sent the detailed report to you outlining the physical description of the area, the character and phase of development in the Williamson Creek Watershed and other areas, some of the existing municipal infra-structures in other areas and to outline and identify some of the real and existing pressures put upon our services by the development out there. We would recommend to the City Council that (1) It is not appropriate at this time to initiate a moratorium on the subdivision process for these areas. Several factors promote that. One is that Mr. Bulloch and his staff have prepared some short range water service improvements which will help with the pressure problem that exists there now and which will allow us to keep up with the industry as it builds out on its approved plan during the next two year period. That is a separate topic which Mr. Bulloch will address in detail. "Our review of the existing situation in that portion of the community indicates that we have a unique opportunity to sit down with the industry, utilizing the professional capabilities in the industry, the professional capabilities that exist within the City and the very real talents of the Council citizen boards and commissions. The planning effort that identifies some immediate improvements to our service pattern that need to occur in the next few years to work on an area development pattern that would work on a five-year time horizon and identify an additional planning process two years past that. "Two things would be accomplished by this approach. One of the legitimate needs of the housing industry to make use of their property in an economic fashion could be accomplished. The second would be that the legitimate and real needs of the city would be assured of a rational plan of service developing out there so development would move ahead in a rational and logical fashion. We do, however, think the task force needs to be constituted quickly, that the Council instruct it to report back by the end of the year with some specific concerns on the two year plan, that the Council in the creation of the task force set some expectations about the types of performance it expects from all the members of the task force in resolving these issues, and in addition to the items I'd like Mr. Bulloch to address in detail we would like for the Council to consider authorizing the implementation of some very needed short term water service improvements out there that will require, because of _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS August 7, 1980 the time it takes to order the equipment, action on our part now so it can be in place in a usable and reasonable fashion sometime during the next year. Basically, that is our position. We also think it might be appropriate for the City Council to refer this report to the Environmental Board and refer it to the Planning Commission and our recommendation would be that the two groups would participate in the planning for this community. Mr. Bulloch, Director of Water and Wastewater, addressed the water service needs. He did this by referring to maps and referred Council to their report. He pointed out the area to the Davis Reservoir, among other things, and told Council it is one of the things they will look at during the CIP (Capital Improvements Program) and possible bond program because it is not funded at this time. "It's going to be a while before we see major improvements in this area. We think with the minor improvements, which total $378,000.00 in the report you received of which we are asking you to consider funding $307,000.00, we believe the pump station that's out in the Valley View Acres should be considered by the voters as they have in the past through bond elections and should not be pulled out of that program. We think it is inappropriate to try to change funding mechanisms at this time. That should be considered on its own merits through the bond program. We think the other improvements should be done immediately to serve those areas you see in yellow. (referred to map) We're proposing an extension of the 12" line that stops at the Y down to the Scenic Brook West commercial area to serve existing customers. If that portion of the program you have before you is approved, that would serve existing customers in this area and new customers that might want to come in and tie on to that line between the Scenic Brook commercial and the end of the existing 12" line. With these types of improvements we will be able to reduce some of our portable pumping during the summer and start providing a little more even level of service than has been provided in there in the past 5 years." Councilmember Himmelblau said there have been serious and dangerous pressure problems in that area. She said she is also worried because if there is a major fire out there, there would be no way to fight it. She said, "I am pleased to see this and I also am pleased to see the notation that we will not be expanding Water District 14's capabilities, but, Mayor, I would like to see this go to the Environmental Board just as soon as possible, or the Planning Commission, or which ever way it goes." Mayor McClellan asked, "On the $307,000 you say will come from the CIP fund balance?" Mr. Bulloch answered, "When the City Council reviewed the six month mini CIP in March, there was an identification for slightly over $1,000,000.00 in cost differences to pay for oversize water lines in subdivisions Our experience has shown we will not spend that appropriation, probably less than 1/2 million dollars and we're asking for your consideration to reappropriate this to existing customers and also to the proposal Mr. Butler has That will leave $250,000 to $300,000 in the fund cost detailed. differences. ... Councilmember Cooke asked for an updated report on the mini discussions Council had after the failure of the bond elections so Council can see where the City is in planning or actual implementation of the particular items discussed at that time. Mr. Bulloch told him they are programmed to come back in September with a report. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS August 7, 1980 Mr. Butler told Council, "The one thing the report does not address in great detail is the annexation options the City Council might have in this area. We are continuing on that tract and will pull them all together at one time and expect to return. Perhaps it is appropriate to have the task force work with us on annexation at this time. Because of the growth in this area we have a unique opportunity to have a private/public environmental group/board planning commission effort to put the City in good stead to take care of the legitimate needs that will be occuring out there in terms of the Master Plan which this City Council adopted. Councilmember Himmelblau asked for "a listing of all the water districts we serve, where they are and what our commitments are to them because we are serving some that are so far away and so far out of our ETJ, even, that when you discover them it's sort of a shock, and what they are taking away from capacity to subdivisions that are within our reach as far as annexation." Mr. Butler said they will provide that to the entire Council. Councilmember Himmelblau said she is referencing Creedmore, and "why we are serving Creedmore, I'll never know." Mayor McClellan said, "Let's get this referred very promptly to Environmental and Planning Commissions and then back to us with their recommendations. PUBLIC HEARING CANCELLED A public hearing was scheduled for 9:30 a.m. on an appeal from Angus Valley Neighborhood Association and the Mesa Park Civic Association on the Planning Commission's decision regarding a Special Permit for Jenco Wholesale Nursery, Inc. - C14p-80-031. Mayor McClellan said this would be withdrawn from the Agenda and read the following letter for the record which had been mailed to City Clerk Grace Monroe: "This is a joint letter from the Mesa Park Civic Association and the Angus Valley Homeowners Association in reference to an appeal to be placed before the City Council on August 21, at 6:30p.m. This appeal is in reference to a special permit, file C14-P-80-031, by Jenco Nurseries, and was reset for August 7, through citizens communications at City Council Chambers on July 24, by Mr. Mike Schoenfield. "On conferring with JENCO nurseries and weighing consideration presented we are asking that the appeal slated for August 7 at 9:30 a.m. be dropped from the agenda. /s/ Stanley R. Parrotte, President Mesa Park Civic Association Larry M. Deuser, President Angus Valley Homeowners Association" CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS August 7, 1980 CITIZEN DID NOT APPEAR Mr. Peter J. Fears, who had requested to appear during Citizens Communications representing AFSCME to discuss job safety, had previously withdrawn his request to appear. CLARKSVILLE SELF-HELP HOUSING PROJECT Ms. Pauline Brown who requested to appear before Council on behalf of the approval of the sale of five lots located on three parcels to the Clarksvill Community Development Corporation, and approve the CCDC plans for development of these parcels as outlined in the Clarksville Self-Help Housing Project, did not appear. Her item was already voted upon during the consent resolution vote. DISCUSSION PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION MR. ROGER BAKER appeared before Council to discuss certain aspects of sound management. He said he represented Austinites for Public Transportation and cited the Council for not meeting the goals of public transportation as outlined in the goals of the Austin Tomorrow Comprehensive Plan. He said the bus system now provides fewer hours of service to its riders. He said, "I believe the City sees the bus system as a hand-out to the poor. The City bus system is to transportation as the Salvation Army is to tourist accommodations. ... If we look at the new proposed CIP (Capital Improvements Program) we see that the City Manager proposed to drastically slash spending for public transportation by 50% or more in all categories as compared to previous years. The sad fact is that the City does not even accept the money for bus improvements that the State has offered. In 1979 the State of Texas offered the City $1.4 million in capital improvements for it's bus system but the City turned down most of it. So far this year the City has only accepted 15% of the considerably smaller amount offered this year. The Federal government gives a huge subsidy for operating expenses to the City bus system, but the City is unwilling to make even a minimal commitment to improve the system and make use of the money. The City Manager has now proposed an increase in bus fares by 50%. Much of this increase could have been eliminated if Mr. Davidson had made the effort to manage City transit funds in the way that the City financial consultatnt, Peat Marwick & Mitchell Co., recommended in 1978. As a result every rider who takes the bus could save almost a dime if only the City transit fund had been properly managed." Mr. Baker then discussed the hiring of the new Transportation Director Dr. Jim Benson. He said he felt there was not a thorough search conducted to find a new director, but instead the Assistant Director was named Director. Mr. Baker said, "I've heard rumors from several sources that Mr. Davidson is consisering weakening and breaking up the Urban Transportation Department for the benefit of the Public Works Department and to the detriment of Public Transportation. We'll have to wait and see but if it does happen, remember you heard it from us first." Mr. Davidson, City Manager, stated, "That is incorrect. There is no proposal, plan or idea being discussed at all to do what you just described. If you will point me to the source of that rumor, I will be delighted to straighten it out with them as well." CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS August 7, 1980 Mayor McClellan requested a report on the several things mentioned, "state funds that we did not or could not take advantage of, Federal funds. You can basically pull out the text of those comments and get a response back out, I will appreciate it." Mr. Davidson said he would do so. MS. ARI WRIGHT, representing Austinites for Public Transportation, appeared before Council to discuss the appointment of the Urban Transportation Director. She said she does not object to the process which was used to select him. She wondered if the Council could not do something. The Mayor informed her that according to City Charter, the selection of personnel is not in the Council's jurisdiction. Ms. Wright asked for a Charter amendment so Council has a say in personnel appointments. The Mayor pointed out that would take a major amendment which would change the City Manager role of Austin City government. Mr. Davidson said he will be happy to meet with Ms. Wright and discuss with her the procedure of selection of executives. He said the process used in Austin is the most extensive of any major city in Texas. He said he is proud of the appointment of Dr. Benson as Transportation Director and will talk to anyone about the transit situation in Austin. ZONING HEARING DECISIONS The following two zoning cases had gone through the public hearing procedure on July 31, 1980. Since three of the Councilmembers were absent, the decision of the cases was postponed until today. PROVIDENT DEVELOPMENT CO. By Jean Bringol C14-80-114 One Oak Trail 4800 block McCarty Lane From Interim "AA", "AA" and "A" Residence 1st Height and Area To "A-2" Condominium, "0" Office, "LR" Local Retail, and "BB" Residence 1st Height and Area RECOMMENDED by the Planning Commission,subject to deed restrictions volunteered by applicant that use will comply with zoning; site plan approval by Planning Commission on all tracts, right-of-way to William Cannon required for "BB" Residence tract and conditions of correspondence between applicant/Owens and Schaeffler. Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council grant "A-2" Condominium, "0" Office, "LR" Local Retail, and "BB" Residence, 1st Height and Area District, subject to conditions, as recommended by the Planning Commission. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Himmelblau, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman Noes: None August 7, 1980 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS The Mayor announced that the change had been granted to "A-2" Condominium, "0" Office, "LR" Local Retail, and "BB" Residence, 1st Height and Area District, subject to conditions, as recommended by the Planning Commission, and the City Attorney was instructed to draw the necessary ordinance to cover. HAUPT BUILDERS, INC. 1705 South Loop 360 By Richard D. Jones C14-80-127 From Interim "AA" Residence To 1st Height and Area "0" Office 1st Height and Area RECOMMENDED (as amended) by the Planning Commission "0" Office, Ist Height and Area per site plan submitted with 58 foot setback of which applicant agreed to dedicate 50 feet for conservation easement. Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council grant as recommended by the Planning Commission, (as amended) "0" Office, 1st Height and Area District per site plan submitted, subject to conditions. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Cooke, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmember Mullen, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Himmelblau Noes: Councilmembers Trevino, Goodman Abstain: Councilmember Snell The Mayor announced that the change had been granted, as amended, to "0" Office, 1st Height and Area District per site plan submitted, subject to conditions, and the City Attorney was instructed to draw the necessary ordinance to cover. Prior to the vote, Councilmember Himmelblau asked if this was in compliance with the Sign Ordinance. She was told it is. Council then discussed the proposed Loop 360 Study which will be presented to Council in the fall. They wondered if this zoning should be held up until the study is received. Councilmember Goodman asked how many other cases similar to this are pending. Mrs. Evelyn Butler, Planning Department, said she does not know of any. Councilmember Cooke requested an item be placed on the August 21, 1980 Agenda to direct the City Manager to direct staff to place a moratorium on any more zoning on Loop 360 until the Loop 360 Study is completed. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS August 7, 1980 PUBLIC HEARING SET ON LIFELINE RATE PROPOSAL Council had before it a resolution to set a public hearing on Lifeline Rate Proposal No. 7. Councilmember Cooke thought Council should study more than Proposal No. 7, because there have been other recommendations also. Councilmember Himmelblau said she would like information as to how this ties in with PURPA (Public Utility Regulatory Policy Act) and wondered if the public hearing should be held before PURPA hearings. Mayor McClellan asked for an updated report on PURPA. Council decided to postpone decision on setting public hearing until later in the day in order to receive information on PURPA. (See later in Minutes.) PENINSULA STUDY Councilmember Himmelblau and Councilmember Goodman introduced an item to Council to consider the Planning Commission's recommendations to the Peninsula Study. Mayor McClellan read the following letter into the record which was addressed to Mayor McClellan and members of the Council: "It has come to my attention that the Council will be considering the termination of the water and wastewater contract between the City of Austin and Westview Development Company at its August 7, 1980 meeting (Item E 14). In addition, the Council also has listed on its agenda for that meeting the consideration of the Planning Commission's recommendations on the Lake Austin Peninsula Annexation Study (Item I 2). "As you may know, the Environmental Board is currently formulating its own set of recommendations with regard to the disposition of both the existing contract for water and wastewater service to the 1200 acre Davenport Ranch, as well as the Planning Department's Peninsula Annexation Study. At its July 9, 1980 meeting the attached motions (Appendix A) were considered by the Board, but as is reflected in the excerpted portion of the minutes, the Board delayed final action to permit time to develop a responsible set of recommendations for adoption by the Council. "It is the Board's position that both of the items posted for action by the Council at its August 7, 1980 meeting must be resolved concurrently and with much greater thought given to the long range interests of the City than the cursory solution proposed by the City's Planning Commission. "Final recommendations from the Board will be available after its meeting of August 13, 1980. It is my hope that the Council will delay further action until after this date so that all of the important growth management issues involved, both fiscal as well as environmental, can be resolved in a comprehensive rather than piecemeal fashion. /s/ Neal Graham, Chairman Environmental Board" August 7, 1980 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Councilmember Goodman commented that the Planning Commission and Environmental Board have spent considerable time on the Peninsula Study and that their efforts are appreciated. He said their recommendations should be included in the August 21, 1980 Agenda. AMENDMENT RE DAY CARE FACILITIES Councilmember Himmelblau introduced an item to Council to request the City Manager to initiate the appropriate review of an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to allow adult day care facilities to be included in the Special Permit process outlined in Section 45-17 (1967 Code). This review should include an analysis of the minimum area requirements to determine if these requirements are appropriate for adult day care. The City Manager will refer this to the Planning Commission to begin the process. RECESS The Council recessed its meeting at 11:50 a.m. and resumed its recessed meeting at 3:00 p.m. EXECUTIVE SESSION Mayor McClellan announced that Council will convene in a closed or executive session authorized by Section 2, Paragraphs (e), (f) and (g) of Article 6252-17, Texas Revised Civil Statutes Annotated; and after such closed or executive session, any final action, decision or vote with regard to any matter considered in the closed or executive session will be made in open session, should such action, decision or vote be necessary. RECESS Council recessed its meeting for an executive session at 3:00 p.m. and resumed its recessed meeting at 3:15 p.m. COMMUNITY EDUCATION CONSORTIUM Counci Imember Trevino moved that the Council adopt a resolution selecting the following City of Austin representatives to serve on the Community Education Consortium: Austin Jaycees Austin Minority Economic Development Corporation Austin Parks and Recreation Board Junior League League of Women Voters in Austin Senior Luncheon Program Council Urban League _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS August 7, 1980 The motion, seconded by Councilmember Himmelblau, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Himmelblau, Mullen, Noes: Snell, Trevino None Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmember Goodman APPEAL RE SPECIAL PERMIT Mayor McClellan opened the public hearing scheduled for 3:00 p.m. on an appeal from Ms. Dorothy Richter, Zoning Chairman, Hyde Park Neighborhood Association, of the Planning Commission's decision to grant a Special Permit to Capital Cable Company for the erection of a 60-foot microwave receiver tower at 4015 Guadalupe. (C14p-80-034) Ms. Evelyn Butler, Planning Department, reviewed the Special Permit for Council. MS. DOROTHY RICHTER appeared before Council and showed slides which she said illustrates the small area in which the tower will be erected. She feel there just is not enough room for it and that it should not be so near houses. She called Council's attention to a pecan tree in the area which she said will have to be removed if the tower is constructed. MR. TOM CURTIS, representing Capital Cable Company, showed slides of the area which he said illustrates that the area is large enough to accommodate a microwave receiver tower. He said this will be the ninth and final tower. He said the ultimate purpose is to have a greater number of channels for Austin viewers and the tower acts as a receiver. There will be no emission from it. Fifteen locations have been investigated and this is the only one that works out for terms and the site. CELESTE KROMAK, 4016 Duval, Vice-President of Hyde Park Neighborhood Association, said there are already lines and cables in the 800 square foot area which Capital Cable wants to use as a site for its tower. She wondered if the tower could be on top of an existing building rather than ground level. Mr. Curtis told her that the tower would not be secure or stable on top of a building. They are anchored in cement on the ground. He did not think guy wires would stabilize it. Mr. Tom Curtis returned to the podium to state there is limited access to the site but he does not anticipate any trouble. Mrs. Richter returned to say that she is afraid children might climb the tower and it does not meet criteria #9 for safety factor. She asked Council to postpone their decision until Capital Cable finds another site. Councilmember Cooke questioned the safety and Mr. Curtis told him there will be a security fence around the base of the tower. Councilmember Himmelblau asked if they had inquired about constructing the tower on the state hospital grounds. Mr. Curtis said they had, but were unable to obtain a lease agreement with them. Councilmember Cooke said he understands the concern of the neighborhood, but felt the need for the signal from the tower was greater. August 7, 1980 CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS Motion Councilmember Cooke moved that the Council close the public hearing on an appeal of the Planning Commission's decision to grant a Special Permit to Capital Cable Company for the erection of a 60-foot microwave receiver tower at 4015 Guadalupe (C14p-80-034), and grant the Special Permit. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Trevino, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Cooke, Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell, Trevino, Noes: Mayor McClellan None Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmember Goodman VACATION OF STREET Mayor McClellan opened the public hearing scheduled for 3:30 p.m. on vacating the following and passage of ordinance: San Gabriel Alley adjoining Lot 35, Dr. W. A. Harper subdivision. (Requested by Mr. Robert C. Duke, representing Mr. Kerby W. Perry.) Mr. Duke appeared before Council and showed a diagram of what is involved. "We've been before the Planning Commission and Transportation Commission and have had no opposition up to this point on this abandonment. The project will be a condominium project on 29th Street and it would entail the abandonment of an alley which is rarely used now and is also serviced by an alley coming from Pearl Street and runs through the back so the houses would continue to be accessed and my client has agreed to grade that alley at his expense and trim the trees and in addition has agreed to a restrictive covenant which would continue to keep this alley way open to everything but vehicular traffic. It is for bicycle and walk paths and not intended for parking. It is necessary in order to comply with the number of square feet needed for parking in other areas...that is the reason the alley is needed. It will be a landscaped area with a footpath." Mayor McClellan introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE VACATING AND PERPETUALLY CLOSING THAT CERTAIN PORTION OF SAN GABRIEL STREET ALLEY IN THE CITY OF AUSTIN, TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS; RETAINING AN EASEMENT FOR SANITARY SEWER PURPOSES, AND A SURFACE PUBLIC EASEMENT FOR NONMOTORIZED VEHICULAR TRAFFIC AND PEDESTRIANS; SUSPENDING THE RULE REQUIRING THE READING OF ORDINANCES ON THREE SEPARATE DAYS; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council close the public hearing, waive the requirement for three readings, declare an emergency and finally pass the ordinance. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Mullen, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen, Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmember Cooke Noes: None The Mayor announced that the ordinance had been finally passed. _ CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS August 7, 1980 PUBLIC HEARING SET ON LIFELINE RATE PROPOSAL (continued from a previous page) Mr. R. L. Hancock, Director of Electric Utility, said "the question asked as I understand it is when are the PURPA hearings to be conducted. This memorandum that we have given you (City Clerk did not receive a copy) outlines those dates and in summary form we are required to conduct by November 9, 1980 certain hearings with respect to master metering, automatic adjustment clauses, consumer information, termination procedures and advertising. We are required, in addition to that, to announce and to have conducted by November of 1981, a year later, hearings on cost of service, declining block, time of day, seasonal rate, interruptible rates and load management. The EUC (Electric Utility Commission) had recommended and the staff concurs with that recommendation that to the extent possible those be combined in the same hearing and we were striving for completion of the administrative section by November 9, 1980 and that to be followed immediately by the other hearings to be required to be completed a year later. In addition to that, PURPA indicates that lifeline rates for essential needs must also be considered in an evidentiary hearing if such rate is not in effect by November, 1980. In our opinion there is some question about the definition of effect. I think the Legal Department, on a preliminary basis, says effect means implemented rates and in our opinion there would be a question with respect to Council's ability to conduct any public hearings that they might wish with respect to lifeline rates and adopt a rate by November 9. That could be done if Council put their mind to it, I suppose, but if implementation and actual billing under those rates were required, those rates under Proposal 7 would require extensive programming changes in the computer program and those could not be completed by then." Councilmember Cooke asked, "When was that enacted and when did we begin the process of reacting to that?" Mr. Hancock said, "The Act was enacted November 9, 1978. We began in the early part of this year. Council approved a grant we had obtained to develop a procedures manual and that activity has been completed. A schedule was set. We are approximately 60 days behind on that schedule. It will be very tight to make the November, 1980 date, but I think compliance with the administrative requirements by November of 1980 will be relatively simple because Austin has effectively already taken all of those actions and I would not anticipate that being a very involved proceeding." Councilmember Himmelblau asked, "Was there a report from the Utility Commission to the Council, or was there supposed to be one to us?" Mr. Hancock said, "On May 27, the PUC (Public Utility Commission) recommended adoption of 12 recommendations made by the consultants with respect to the nature of the proceedings. We were negligent in that we have not forwarded those to the Council yet and that was about 60 days ago. That does not have any impact on this but we should have at least advised the Council of the PUC action and we may have, but I don't have a recollection of it and the staff has not been able to check the records yet to see." Councilmember Cooke said he had before him a summary of all the action which has already been taken by the Seattle City Council and they have already enacted their legislation all the way through as of July 8, 1980. It seems to me that while we are 60 days behind that we are a little bit remiss and we are running such a tight schedule now that we're going to have difficulty addressing some of this if we don't get our act in gear pretty quick. Mr. Hancock said he agrees. He said, as a matter of information, San Antonio is conducting some of their hearings now. Councilmember Cooke said it appears Austin is going to have to have hearings overlaying the budget. August 7, 1980 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Mr. Hancock said, "The Commission's recommendation and the staff's recommendation with respect to the conduct of hearings is that a hearings officer be employed to conduct those hearings and that he develop a hearing record and that be made available to the Commission and to the Council. ... That is predicated on what would appear to be an inordinate amount of time required and the skills involved in conducting an evidentiary hearing as opposed to a public hearing. ... I would presume the proceedings would be forwarded to the Council for their review and then the Council, if they wished could have a public hearing with respect to that and then take action on it." Councilmember Cooke asked what the administrative barrier is to prevent the selection of the hearing examiner and getting on with the evidentiary hearings. Mr. Hancock said, "We need to provide you with a schedule and a procedure and a group from which to select the hearings officer in particular and a tabulation of the recommendations from the EUC and from the staff for your judgement and action." Councilmember Cooke affirmed that the EUC recommendations are those that were received in May and "coupled with that and the staff and the fact there have been 60 days since the recommendation was established, have you all been doing anything in regard to determining a list of hearing examiners we could select from and establishing a time schedule that we could vote on and proceed with?" Mr. Hancock answered affirmatively and said it will be available to Council by August 21. He said he needed input from the Law Department and they have been working toward finding someone who has the skills in conducting an evidentiary hearing and make judgements necessary to conducting same. ...Mayor McClellan asked Mr. Albert De La Rosa to get a report for Council on the status of this by the first of next week. Mr. Hancock said, "The constraint, frankly, is probably more in the Electric Department than it is in the Law Department, and we are attempting to get that cranking as rapidly as we can now." Councilmember Goodman stated, "Consideration of the lifeline rates is only one part, an element, of PURPA and I would like to say that Proposal #7 is not a lifeline rate per se. I think we should proceed and set a public hearing at the earliest possible time." Motion Councilmember Cooke moved that the Council set a public hearing on all lifeline rate proposals for September 15, 1980 at 6:00p.m. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmember Himmelblau, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman Noes: Councilmember Trevino Abstain: Councilmember Mullen Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmember Snell RECESS The Council recessed its meeting at 4:10 p.m. and resumed their recessed meeting at 7:10 p.m. - CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS August 7, 1980 ZONING HEARING Mayor McClellan opened the following zoning hearing, scheduled for 6:45 p.m. Pursuant to published notice thereof, the following zoning case was publicly heard: WHITE-SPRINGFIELD HOUSE By Michael McHone C14h-90-019 2110 Rio Grande From "B" Residence 2nd Height and Area To "O-H" Office-Historic 2nd Height and Area RECOMMENDED by the Planning Commission Ms. Evelyn Butler, Planning Department, reviewed the application and said the owner has no objection to the zoning change. MICHAEL R. McHONE spoke in favor of the zoning change. He said he has lived next door to the house for 13 years and thinks it should be preserved. He is the applicant. CHARLOTTE CARL-MITCHELL, Co-President, Save Our University Neighborhood, spoke in favor of historical zoning. She said the majority of the homes built by architect Charles Page are all gone, and the White-Springfield house is the best example of Page architecture in the neighborhood. MR. SMOOT CARL-MITCHELL, Co-President, Save Our University Neighborhood, showed slides of the house and of other houses with examples of architecture of the era and architect. PETER FLAGG MAXSON, preservation officer, Victorian Society in America, said the White-Springfield House is a good example of early architecture as well as being a neighborhood landmark. CELESTE KROMACK, who lives on Duval, said the house is a landmark and asked Council to preserve and protect the house for the citizens of Austin. RICHARD HARDIN, owner of the house, said he had originally purchased the property in order to build condominiums but he does not want to demolish the house. He said no one wants a 5,000 square foot house as a home any more and to use it as a rooming house is not good. He stated he will build a comparable building next to it. House. BETTY PHILLIPS spoke in favor of the "O-H" zoning for the White-Springfield BILL SCARBROUGH, who lives at 2000 Pearl Street spoke in favor of "O-H" Office-Historic zoning. MR. R. D. HARDIN, father of the owner, Richard Hardin, spoke in favor of "O-H" zoning. He said homes like this which can be saved in an area of high density zoning, should be preserved. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS August 7, 1980 MR. BILL ROLLIS, Committee for Reformation of Austin Politics, spoke in opposition to the zoning change. He felt the area should remain residential. INA RAY SMITH, Historic Landmark Commission, read a letter from Mr. Philip Creer, Chairman, Historic Landmark Commission, in which he stated the White-Springfield House is not a "20th century outstanding structure." Ms. Smith also read a letter from Ada Simon of the Landmark Commission, who said to zone the house "O-H" would be mis-use of "H" zoning. Ms. Smith said she thinks this is an unfortunate time frame to suggest tax abatement for a house with flaky 20th century architecture. She said she cannot support the zoning change. JIM CHRISTIANSEN, Historic Landmark Commission, felt a precedent in historic zoning will be set if the house is zoned "O-H" and does not want to see it happen. Councilmember Himmelblau asked for the figures on difference between tax abatement of residential and commercial property. Betty Baker, Planning Department explained as follows: Residential Commercial Improvements 100% Land 50% Improvements 50% Land 25% Michael McHone returned to say each historic zoning application should be weighed on its own merit. Richard Hardin returned to point out the experts in the Council Chamber are split on this zoning request. The neighbors favor adaptive re-use of the structure. He said he will spend $150,000 to restore the property. Mayor McClellan said, "I realize there are some very honest differences of opinion about this house but the one I would particularly come down on is you can zone a house historic for one or more of the criteria that we have under the historic zoning criteria. The one I would particularly come down on here is a 'building or structure that because of its location has become of value to a neighborhood community area or the city.'" Councilmember Goodman said Mr. Hardin should be commended for his efforts in the west campus neighborhood area. Councilmember Himmelblau commented that it is a beautiful structure and is pleased with the zoning request. Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council accept finding of fact c, d, i, k, 1, and grant "O-H" Office-Historic, 2nd Height and Area District, as recommended by the Planning Commission. The motion, seconded by Mayor McClellan, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Snell, Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen Noes: None The Mayor announced that the change had been granted to "O-H" OfficeHistoric, 2nd Height and Area District, and the City Attorney was instructed to draw the necessary ordinance to cover. - CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS August 7, 1980 ! RECESS Council recessed its meeting at 8:00p.m. and resumed its recessed meeting at 8:05 p.m. AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PLAN Mayor McClellan opened the public hearing scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on the Affirmative Action Plan. Mr. Floyd Bermea, Special Assistant to the City Manager for Affirmative Action appeared before Council and called their attention to the latest two drafts of the Austin Affirmative Action Plan. He said the staff and Ad Hoc Committee have worked together to create an aggressive, realistic affirmative action plan that will succeed. The plan, as proposed, will mean the hiring of the handicapped, female and minority members of the community. Mr. Bermea discussed several pages included in the plan. He spoke also to the Affirmative Action Review Committee. MR. ALFREDO GARCIA, Chairman, Ad Hoc Committee, also reviewed the plan and commented on several pages. He stated he was glad Mr. Bermea's group had come to terms with the Ad Hoc Committee. He felt they had effected a major breakdown with this plan and it nailed down more meaningful jobs for the minority. Mayor McClellan referred to the Affirmative Action Review Committee and said she knew that was one point of discrepancy between the staff proposal and the Ad Hoc Committee proposal. "I concur with Council appointing the bulk of those. I think Council should appoint seven.. Let Council appoint seven members from the suggested list and then the one part that I thought was not quite appropriate was where it says, 'those citizens then shall appoint an additional two members from the City of Austin work force. With the CouncilManager form of government we are always very careful about what is appropriately staff and what is appropriately Council. If we have the majority of those members appointed from the Council, then I suggest having the Manager appoint six. The breakdown could be work force, department heads, and the Special Assistant for Affirmative Action. I think it would be a good working number." Mr. Garcia said the final decision is up to Council but "our idea in having the seven member citizen participation on the committee select the two City representatives is that we felt certain individuals, because of their expertise, or knowledge of these matters would make a valuable contribution. The Manager would appoint responsible people, but if they were not appointed by the Manager, they would not feel they had to be responsive to the person who did the appointing." Mayor McClellan said she understands, but is trying to get something workable and which can be achieved. Council sets the policy and the Manager has to carry that out and his employees are going to have to carry out the Affirmative Action Plan that Council adopts. She said Council will expect the City Manager to appoint responsible people from his staff. "You might have something like the sort of thing you are suggesting who we should appoint, you are not telling. Maybe you could suggest on those two persons or something _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS August 7, 1980 for his consideration. I'm just trying to get some happy in-between where the bulk of the committee still rests on the citizens who are appointed by the Council. But when you expect the Manager to implement this, you've also got to let him appoint some people who can do it." Mr. Garcia commented, "The feeling was in having the Advisory Committee do the appointing, these people would feel they have a sort of supportive base and they could speak out on issues that effect City employees without being under the gun. ... We don't want 'yes' people on this committee. We want people that can identify issues and problems and speak out on them" Mayor McClellan said, "I don't want yes people on there either, but I want a system that will work. You're going to have the majority of the Committee appointed by Council. They certainly are not going to be anybody's 'yes' people. They are going to represent the citizens of this community. The problem is, all the people who work for the City work under the City Manager, not under the Council, and so if something doesn't carry out that's who we put the responsibility on. But if you break that chain of command and still expect them to carry the responsibility, we've cluttered our purpose." RAFAEL QUINTANILLA, member of LULAC, said the crucial point to employees is who appoints the committee. "This was an idea of the City employees themselves, and I feel we have to tell you in all honesty, it is not for us to bargain away. The City employees requested they be appointed by the citizens rather than by the Manager, and they feel this would give them an opportunity to be more representative of the City employees rather than being responsive to the City Manager." GABE GUITERREZ told Council they had recently received a study from Peat Marwick and Mitchell, which has recommended a better auditing system for keeping track of the City's dollars. He said now "we are talking about human beings and I think this is an accounting system in a way we can hold all departments accountable and a citizen's committee that will watch over this operation just like we have one for planning, etc." Councilmember Mullen offered his suggestion for the make up of the committee. He said he thought eight members should be selected by the City Council and five members should be selected by the City Manager. Some discussion was held on this proposal and it was decided to take a recess so the members of the Ad Hoc Committee could discuss it with members of staff. Council RECESSED a5 8:50 p.m. and resumed its meeting at 9:00p.m. Mr. Guiterrez told Council, "We caucused and came up with a suggestion Ernest wants to present to you." MR. ERNEST PERALES told Council the Ad Hoc Committee agrees with the 8-5 combination. However, they want a general election for the two City employees to be held, to select the representative members of the City. City Manager Davidson said he thought that would be a good idea. Mr. Perales said this should be a good training base and program established by the Personnel Department in order to further Affirmative Action. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS August 7, 1980 JIM CANNON, representing MIGHT (Mobility Impaired Grappling Hurdles Together), said they have a slight correction to Page 26, Part A, Intern Program. It should read, "to provide valuable work experience and training opportunities for Austin area minority, handicapped, and female college students." He pointed out that handicapped had not been included. Councilmember Cooke commented, "I'm not sure where you might incorporate this but I think there is another program which may be very similar to the minority intern program. That's the TAME program which is an alliance to bring minorities into the engineering field and I believe there are 18 working for the City. I think the program should be monitored and kept up with because that can provide a very good pipeline for minorities, in that particular technical area, which is a difficult one to recruit in, whether you are public or private is very important and I want to make sure that is incorporated into the plan or is addressed." Councilmember Mullen said, "We did try to stay away from specifics in the overall plan and not get into detail. The plan is supposed to be like a constitution would be, not all the details of how it should be carried out." Councilmember Cooke said his comments were intended to "try to make sure that a program such as this is incorporated in the plan and monitored by the Committee because I think that is one of the fundamental keys to how this program is going to work in three years." Mr. Garcia said, "The plan and the people implementing it should utilize any and all resources, training programs in the community and I think there should be a general reference to that particular aspect of an affirmative action plan that enhances the training and upward mobility of minorities, females and handicapped in the community." Mr. Guiterrez suggested, "The committee out there represents the election of two people by City employees at election time for the Grievance Committee so you would not have the expense of a special election. Meanwhile we would like to have the City Manager go ahead and appoint the two members in order to get the ball rolling, and then later on it will be an election process." Councilmember Mullen said, "Did you also, Gabe, agree this plan will be open ended? I just want to make sure it is on the record that there is not any you don't have to be a member of some organization to be a member of the committee." Mr. Guiterrez answered, "That is correct." Councilmember Mullen said, "It was suggested at first, but it is no longer in the plan." ... LORRAINE BENEDICT, Austin Commission on the Status of Women, stated, "With the increase that we are going to see in females working in the City, I would like to see part of the plan implemented that would look at child care and the problems related that working mothers have." PAUL GOTTLIEB, staff representative for AFSCME, told Council the union was very concerned about affirmative action's proposal as it was presented on May 1. "AFSCME has participated in the work of the Committee for Affirmative Action. Mr. Fears and I have attended several meetings of the drafting committee and examined the final product. AFSCME believes the committee's final draft will serve as a solid, effective affirmative action plan. It addresses many of the concerns raised by the City employees who we represent." _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS August 7, 1980 Councilmember Trevino moved that the Council adopt a resolution to approve the report submitted by the Ad Hoc Committee on Affirmative Action, as amended. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Mullen, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmember Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Noes: Cooke, Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen None Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmember Snell The Mayor and members of the Council thanked the staff and Committee who spent so much time on the plan.
