CONGRESS AVENUE PLAN Mayor McClellan introduced an item to consider issuing request for proposals from the private sector for a trial run on the approved Congress Avenue Plan.

I would think that those who opposed it would like to see the trial runs and I would ask that we let the private sector have an option to bid on running the trial run with the understanding that if none of those are acceptable to us we can always reject them and we respectfully request your approval." Council took no action. PROCEDURAL CHANGES FOR SALE OF SURPLUS PROPERTY Mr. Joe Morahan, Director of Property Management, presented the following City Manager Report on Procedural Changes for Sale of Surplus Property: "This is in response to the request Councilman Richard Goodman made during the City Council meeting September 4, 1980. The specific request was that we bring back recommendations for a change in our sale of land procedures which would permit the City Council to have an opportunity to consider the potential offering of a property for sale early in the sale process rather than for the City Council to consider the sale for the first time after bids have been received. "The basic steps of the sale procedure are outlined below. The process can be initiated either by staff or by a citizen. 1. Obtain departmental comments 2. Review comments and prepare recommendation 3. Consideration by Planning Commission Survey and legal description, appraisal and title examination 5. Advertisement for sealed bids or finalize negotiations if direct sale 4. Consideration by City Council Completion of sale 6. 7. "Examples of the information submitted for consideration by the Planning Commission are attached. The attachments cover properties that have been approved for sale by the Planning Commission but have not yet been sold. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 2, 1980 "My suggestion is that as Step 3 (a) we continue to forward the sale recommendation for consideration by the Planning Commission. Then, after the Planning Commission has acted, as Step 3 (b) we present the sale recommendation as a City Manager Report item at a regular meeting of the City Council. The Planning Commission's action would be included as part of the package. Unless the City Council instructed us to alter or suspend the proposal at that point, we would proceed with the remaining steps. The Council would consider the matter again in Step 6 as a final approval after the exact terms of the sale were known. "One possible alternative would be to simply provide a memorandum to the Mayor and Councilmembers at the same time the sale recommendation is forwarded to the Planning Commission. Any Councilmember could request additional information, if needed, or place an item on a subsequent agenda for discussion and action by the City Council. "A second alternative would be to go first to the City Council to receive authorization to proceed on to the Planning Commission. "At present, no notices are sent to nearby owners and the Planning Commission does not conduct a public hearing when considering a sale of property item. "The City Council might wish to amend that part of the process to provide for some type of advance notice to the neighborhood association, if any, or to directly abutting property owners before the matter is given formal consideration." SALE OF CITY PROPERTY (BALCONES TRACT) Mr. Joe Morahan presented the following City Manager's Report on Sale of City Property S-133/S-134 (Balcones Tract). He said this coincided with a resolution, passed today in the consent motion, by Council which rejected bids received for sale of 6.84 acre tract north of Northland Drive and bounded by Balcones Drive and MoPac. He then reported as follows: "This is in response to the Item from Council presented by Councilmember Richard Goodman at the City Council meeting September 4, 1980. Mr. Goodman's specific questions were: 1. How much do we expect to receive for the sale of this property? 2. Did we consider making it a greenbelt? "The answer to the first question is that the tract has been appraised as having a fair market value of $895,000.00. The appraisal was made by Rudy Robinson of Robinson and Associates. Mr. Robinson places a value of $3.00 per square foot on the 6.84 acre (297,950 square feet) tract of land. This value is based on the presumption that the property could be rezoned to "0" Office, 1st Height and Area from the present "I-A", 1st Height and Area zoning. The value is derived from examination of sales of comparable tracts of land in the general area. In the past, we have recommended approval of sales of land where the highest bid was reasonably close to the appraised value. October 2, 1980 =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS "As to the second question, PARD (Parks and Recreation Department) was offered an opportunity to comment on or object to the sale of the property during the departmental review process. Mr. Ehrler feels that the tract is not suitable for any type of recreational uses because it is narrow, sloping and adjacent to major thoroughfares. He feels that the tract could serve as an open space buffer, but would not be high on a list of priorities because of the substantial cost of purchasing the tract from Public Works (Street Improvement Bond Funds)." Mr. Morahan said the key question he would like answered is whether or not to advertise for bids again. Councilmember Goodman answered, "I would say yes. Having been one of the people who raised a question about this particular parcel and the procedure and having had the procedure rectified and it now comes to us at the front end in considering the value of the property, though I was in favor of looking at retaining it for open space...but if it is worth something in the neighborhood of $900,000 I would be in favor of readvertising for bids and see if we can get close to that." agenda. There was no objection, so the Mayor said Council would proceed with the INSURANCE FOR PART TIME EMPLOYEES Mr. Carl Lynch of the Personnel Department presented the following City Manager Report on Insurance for Part Time Employees: "On July 3, 1980, the City Council voted to extend the opportunity for health insurance coverage to permanent part-time employees working less than 30 hours per week. Costs for this optional insurance program will be assumed entirely by the eligible employee. Part-time employees working between 30 and 40 hours per week are not effected by this change since these individuals are already covered under the regular insurance program. "In response to this Council action, the Personnel Department has worked with our insurance carrier, Connecticut General, the Legal Department and the Finance Department to develop a plan for implementing the new coverage. Our recommendations relative to the provision of these benefits are as follows: 1. The medical and life benefits made available to these parttime employees and their dependents should be identical to those provided other City employees covered by the health plan. 2. These benefits should be made available effective October 1, 1980, at the current group rates designated in the plan. We do not recommend, however, that the current approximate 17% reduction in these rates which was approved by the Council earlier this year through the use of excess premiums returned because of excellent prior experience be extended to these employees. Costs for these employees were not included in our computation of this temporary rate reduction which is scheduled to end January, 1981. If the Council decides to use additional available funds to extend this reduction, past January, all employees should be included at that time. =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 2, 1980 3. Automatic payroll deduction should be made available to employees wishing to take this coverage. 4. A 60-day open enrollment period should be held for current employees, beginning October 1, 1980, and ending November 30, 1980. New employees should be provided a 30-day time period within which to sign up for this program. An employee who does not sign up during the appropriate enrollment period should be required to provide proof of insurability. "In reviewing these recommendations, it should be noted that Connecticut General expressed several concerns about the extension of these benefits to part-time employees. The most significant of these concerns was the potential negative impact of this new employee group on our total group experience since, under an optional program generally only employees who have an established need for medical attention will enroll. Because of the small number of employees involved (approximately 300 are eligible), I do not believe this problem will occur; however, I do agree that we should carefully assess any charge in our experience following implementation. "I also recommend that the City consider at some point in the future assuming at least part of the premium costs for the employee, e.g. one-half. This action would, I believe, afford more employees who may need the coverage an opportunity to do so and would not represent a significant cost item for the City (maximum cost would be approximately $43,000 per year). "I have attached for your review a proposed communication for City employees effected by this change. I recommend that we present this implementation plan to Council on September 18, 1980, if you concur with the recommendations. Please contact me if you have any questions." The Council all agreed that the plan sounds fine. PUBLIC HEARING ON ANNEXATION Mayor McClellan opened the public hearing, scheduled for 9:45 a.m. on consideration of annexation of and directing the administration to institute annexation proceedings to annex the following: 41.00 acres of land (36.60 acres requested by owner and known as Maple Run, Section One, Phases A and 4.40 acres initiated by the City of Austin) C7a-80-003 Mr. Lillie, Director of Planning, reviewed the application. He said the annexation request is located southwest of the city, off of McCarty Lane and west of Brodie Lane in the area currently being considered by the Edwards Aquifer Task Force in their development of performance standards for subdivision. The subdivision has been requested by the owners and the staff has added right of way on an additional area between the subdivision and the current city limit line to make it attached to the existing city limits. The subdivision will include 139 dwelling units. It is anticipated to be fully developed by 1982 with a CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 2, 1980 population of about 400 people. The fiscal note has been sent to all departments and their response to the Research and Budget Office was that the cost revenue data for the operating budget indicates that future costs associated with provision of service to this area are offset by increase in revenues over the period of projection. Over the five year total, the revenues will exceed expenditures by about $40,000. Under the Water and Wastewater report, water service is available from Southwest A; wastewater service is available from Williamson Creek South Fork Wastewater Interceptor. Requirements for the subdivision include a 12" water approach main and oversize main. Anticipated cost participation is $14,443.00 for the 12" water approach main. 12" water main oversize is $19,720.00. Mr. Lillie said he does not recall if the approach mains have been before Council but if not, they will be subject to Council's approval. There is a Capital Improvements cost also noted which is the reconstruction of Latta Lane, which is now a rural roadway including a bridge over Williamson Creek. That cost estimate by Public Works is $600,000.00 scheduled in 1981-82. Councilmember Himmelblau asked why that would be part of this annexation. Mr. Lillie answered, "As the land comes into the city limits then the City picks up the cost of Street and Bridge improvements." MS. DOROTHY HARBILL, recently from Rochester, Minnesota, discussed the Edwards Aquifer. MR. JOE RIDDELL said the annexation would save money for the developers and cost the City much money if it is annexed before it is developed. He felt the annexation would result in a piecemeal type of thing. Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council close the public hearing and direct the City Manager to direct the administration to institute annexation proceedings to annex the 41.00 acres of land (36.60 acres requested by owner as Maple Run, Section One, Phases A and 4.40 acres initiated by the City of Austin.) (C7a-80-003) The motion, seconded by Councilmember Cooke, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmember Mullen, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Noes: None Goodman, Himmelblau Abstain: Mayor Pro Tem Trevino Absent: Councilmember Snell URBAN DEVELOPMENT GRANT ACTION APPLICATION Mayor McClellan opened the public hearing scheduled for 10:00 a.m. on the Urban Development Grant Application. Paula Manning, Department of Human Services, presented the following report on the Urban Development Grant Action Application. "In August, the City Council approved a process by which the City, through the Human Services Department, would pursue the solicitation, development and submission of the UDAG application for a January 1981 submission to the Department of Housing and Urban Development. This process provided for the following steps: CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 2, 1980 1. An introduction for the Austin Community to the UDAG program to the identification of persons or groups that would be interested in creating a partnership between the private sector, the residents of the pocket and the City for the purpose of developing a joint proposal for improving economic conditions in the pocket as well as economic status of its residents. 2. Receipt of specific project ideas which could then be developed into proposals and the conducting of a public hearing and staff presentation to the City Council regarding UDAG project ideas received. After having carried out the first three of these steps, we are presenting to you today three project ideas received for UDAG funding consideration. While much is left to be done to mold these ideas into competitive UDAG proposals, the sponsor should be commended for the time and effort which they have put in their projects to date. I will give you a brief overview of each proposal received, including the sponsor's name, project title and a short descriptive summary of exactly what it is they are proposing to do. Also, we have developed a table which we will be supplying to the Council later which gives a summary of each proposal, utilizing key criteria which are the basis for HUD's (Housing and Urban Development) determination on each proposal's completeness and whether or not they will in fact be competitive. We have listed all of the things HUD will be looking for, are developing this into a table and at this point there are some items we have got to clarify with the proposers and will be providing you with that chart in the near future. The first proposal for discussion is one presented by the East Austin Chicano Economic Development Corporation. The title of the project is "The East Austin Scattered Site Infill Housing Project." They propose the construction of 500 new single family housing units and possibly involve some housing rehabilitation as well throughout the target area. This project does not have one specific location. (Ms. Manning then referred to a map.) Councilmember Trevino asked if the area indicated was the only one under consideration and pointed out there are several pocket areas in the city. Ms. Manning told him the area outlined on the map still has a tremendous need and HUD indicated the guidelines are very clear on that. Councilmember Trevino questioned the downtown area being included and wondered how many people west of IH 35 fall into the category as outlined by HUD. Ms. Manning said they will check those figures for him. Ms. Manning continued with the report: "The accomplishment of the objectives that EACEDC is proposing will result, according to their proposal, in the new construction of housing units equivalent to 38.5% of the housing units lost between 1950 and 1980 in East Austin. $12.5 million in private funds will be leveraged by $5 million in UDAG funds and $1 million in local matched funds. The UDAG funds as will the local funds, will be used to acquire and develop the land and provide for public infrastructure improvements and administration. One of the things we will be doing in the next couple of weeks before we return with another report to you will be to determine what kind of things the public money could do for this particular project, where those monies would come from. The local dollar can be certain kinds of Federal dollars, such as CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) and certain other kind...CETA (Comprehensive Employment and Training Act), etc., can be that local match, but we will be identifying possible sources of those funds to determine whether or not we'll be able to make that match. -CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXASOctober 2, 1980. "The second proposal we have received is from the Youth Employment Service (YES). The title is "The YES Assembly Company." YES's objective is the establishment of a skills training oriented sub-assembly manufacturing enterprise aimed at training 150 of Austin's youth for permanent employment with light industries located or locating in Austin. Although details of their financing plan have not yet been provided, approximately $817,000.00 of the total project budget of $1.6 million is to be used for the acquisition of land and an existing structure to acquire the land and structure that's on it and the rehabilitation and renovation of that structure and furnishing of the physical plant with equipment suitable to the light assembly manufacturing enterprise to be undertaken. This organization provided a very detailed budget as to what will be required to go into the renovation of that building to allow for this type of structure. We have to work with them to tie down some of the other figures better so we can determine what kind of time schedule to put this particular project on. "The third project is the R. J. Henderson and Regina T. Henderson, dba Henderson Properties, The Tamma Building. Henderson Properties proposes to use UDAG funds in conjunction with existing project funds to renovate the LincolnJuarez University Building and create additional space with the construction of an addition, the result of which will be 28,000 square feet of commercial office space. The project total, $1.28 million of combined public-private fund. The exact amount of UDAG and local funds and the use to which they will be put are not entirely clear at this point. It is suggested the funds will be used to offset Henderson Properties anticipated monthly deficit of $8,000 during and after completion of the project. It is suggested by the applicant that this can be accomplished by utilizing project funds to meet the principal and interest payment and use the funds to reduce their tax burden. "Human Services staff will be preparing a presentation to Council concerning the possible schedule of these projects for development in the UDAG applications. This and other information will be provided to you within the next two weeks. We are taking the approach of looking at each of these proposals and based on the amount of work required to be completed yet on them should the City decide to submit them. We think there is a project within this group that could be completed for a January submission. Some of the others may need longer time frame for solidifying. These are extremely competitive grants and we will have to have very professional documents before we can go to Washington and hope to get them funded."

Mr. Lillie, Director of Planning, reviewed the application by use of slides. LARRY PEEL, representing the applicant, showed a plan of the two-story buildings and also showed aerial photos of the land. IRWIN SALMONSON, representing the applicant, appeared and asked Council to approve the 120-unit project on 15 acres. He said it will be a well done project and built around the rim of a valley area. Plans are to keep the wooded area of the valley as it is. RON ALLEN, President, Balcones Civic Association, expressed concern about the density. They believe there should be strict regulations imposed to keep the green belt area as it is. He said there should be provisions to keep the area clear of litter. Mr. Salmonson said he is willing to work with the City Attorney and work out something to keep the integrity of the valley. MARIA HOUTH, representing the neighborhood at the edge of Great Hills, expressed concern with the proposed site plan and felt it is not reasonable use of the land and does not harmonize with the existing homes and town homes. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 2, 1980 LESLIE MILLER showed slides of the area and said the site plan proposed will not fit in. SUSAN ENGLE, who lives in the area, said a sewer line would be detrimental to the valley area. She also said the sizes of the planned units, 900 square feet to 1300 square feet, are not in character with the homes in the surrounding area. HANS HUTH expressed opposition to the sewer line. He said it cannot be laid without scarring the land. He asked Council to not approve the site plan without the recommendation of the Planning Commission. ROBERT LEONARD presented a petition to Council with 176 names of people who are opposed to the proposed development. Councilmember Goodman asked if the petition is valid. Mr. Lillie told him that the land is zoned interim so it is not. Mr. Salmonson returned and said the neighbors requests are reasonable. He said the valley will be protected and asked Council to approve the zoning request. Discussion followed regarding the density, the height of the homes, etc. Motion Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council grant "A-2" Condominiums, 1st Height and Area District, subject to conditions, as recommended by the Planning Commission. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Himmelblau. Substitute Motion Died for Lack of Second Councilmember Cooke made a substitute motion to limit development to 10 units per acre.

This case was heard in the afternoon. Mr. Lillie reviewed the application by use of slides. Councilmember Himmelblau asked what will happen to Mesa Drive where it intersects with Old Jollyville Road. She wondered if it will go through to 183. MR. HERMAN WATERS appeared before Council and said he has filed a request to delete the continuation of Mesa to 183 from the Master Plan. He said he has a contract for the land which calls for "GR" General Retail zoning. RON ALLEN, President, Balcones Civic Association, said they are opposed to "GR" and would prefer "0" Office zoning. He said the neighborhood does not want Mesa to be cut through to 183 because this would cause much more traffic in the neighborhood. GARY MCKENZIE felt that Mesa Drive should be opened to 183 because if it is not, it is difficult to get in and out of the area. Mr. Waters said "GR" is really not wanted or needed, but that he prefers "LR" Local Retail rather than "0" Office. Councilmember Goodman suggested the property should first be zoned "0" and then if an "LR" use is needed, the applicant can apply later. Motion Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council grant "0" Office, Ist Height and Area District, as amended, subject to conditions. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Goodman Friendly Amendment Councilmember Cooke made a friendly amendment for the site plan to come back to Council. It was accepted by Councilmember Mullen.

She said she does organic gardening for her livelihood and the shade from the buildings will not allow her land enough sunlight. She needs six hours of sunlight in order to grow her vegetables. HARRY WEBSTER, 310 East Live Oak Street, said the apartments would worsen traffic. ESTHER MATHEWS said the area now is a mobile home park, and it is not fair to make the owners of the mobile homes move. She is opposed to the traffic increase from apartments. zoning.

Wesley Collins as the Energy Conservation Award recipient in the Individual Category. With individual efforts within his own household he displayed diligent energy conservation awareness. His daughters, Melody and Candy nominated their father for the award by enlisting energy conservation practice in the Collins household. They do not use a clothes dryer, instead they use an outdoor clothesline. They wash dishes by hand rather than using a dishwasher. The thermostat is set at 80 degrees. Television is watched only during the evenings. When cooking, the outside grill or dutch oven is used. Trees and plants are used to shade the house. The Lt. Col. takes part in a car pool. For home use, a standard four-speed drive compact vehicle is used. Lt. Col. Collins' daughters said they nominated their father because he thinks they do not appreciate his efforts to conserve energy." Mayor Pro Tem Trevino then presented the Energy Conservation Award to Lt. Col. Collins, who thanked the City and Council members for the award. COMPREHENSIVE ENERGY MANAGEMENT PROGRAM TASK FORCE W. A. BRANT, Chairman, Energy Conservation Commission, introduced to the Council Mr. Mike Mitchum of IBM who is the newest member of the Commission.

"The Commission is recommending that the Task Force have a wide and diverse representation of Austin citizens, professional organizations, public interest groups and governmental agencies. - CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 2, 1980 "The Commission recommends that each specifically identified group be allowed to select a representative to serve on the Task Force. This approach will assist the City Council in its efforts to have appointments made to the Task Force in a timely manner. The schedule for the CCEMP work provides for Task Force organizational meetings in late November and early December, 1980. The Task Force, through the Executive Committee, will work in developing an Austin Energy Management Plan for submission to the City Council in August, 1981. Once the Final Report, submitted by the Task Force Executive Committee, is accepted by the City Council, the Task Force can be dissolved.

"The CCEMP grant proposal recommended these categories for participation in the process. The committees would have representation from each of the listed organizations under their broad category title." Mr. Brant said that the gasoline consumption by the City has been reduced by 19.3% and commended all the City departments for effectively reducing consumption. He said several more conservation programs will be initiated and that the controvery over fossil fuel still rages.

SOUTHERN UNION GAS COMPANY STATEMENT OF INTENT TO CHANGE RATES Mayor Pro Tem Trevino opened the public hearing, scheduled for 3:30 p.m. on the Southern Union Gas Company's Statement of Intent to Change Rates filed on September 2, 1980. MR. ROBERT M. LACZKO, District Vice-President, Southern Union Gas Company, stated to Council: "On September 2, 1980, statements of intent to change rates for our Austin customers, as well as for the remainder of our Central Texas District, were filed. The proposed rate changes have been applied uniformly to each class of customer throughout the service area without regard to location. The effect of the proposed changes would be to increase the revenues of the company by $3,830,365.00. Because of the unique way in which revenue deficiencies are calculated for utilities in the rate making process, it is only fair to recognize that nearly half of this increase would go to Federal, State and local government in the form of taxes. As an example, additional gross receipts taxes to the City of Austin alone would amount to over $70,000.00. This Council is certainly aware of the effects of inflation on operations of a business since the City itself is a very big business. More specifically, the City operates the electric, water, wastewater and transportation utilities in Austin and has most of the same problems which we as a natural gas distribution utility must face. Increasing costs for labor, materials and supplies must be covered by increased revenues. In addition, the gas company is also experiencing rapidly growing demands for capital investment to serve a growing population in an expanding metropolitan area. Whereas several years ago the local news media headlined the fact that Austin had the highest gas rates in the country, a recent survey indicates that our local residential rates for 10 mcf of gas ranked 46th on a list of 70 cities and areas served by major natural gas utilities. "We are all aware that the days of cheap energy are gone. I am somewhat pleased, however, that even though it has been over two years that I last appeared before the Council asking for an increase in our rates, the increase which we have proposed would add only $1.90 or 6.6% to the monthly bills of a residential customer using 10 mcf. I would expect that most Austin citizens would be delighted if all the good services they purchased would have gone up only 6.6% in the last two years. One party questioning me regarding the percentage increase in the request as compared to the much higher inflation rate we have been experiencing asked why our request was so modest. My answer to that question was that our request closely follows recent decisions in rate _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 2, 1980 matters before the Railroad Commission of Texas and that we make every effort to operate efficiently and to improve our productivity. As an example, a recent newspaper series entitled "City spending, what's in it for you?" furnished information that the population of Austin increased by 44.2% in the last 10 years and during that same time, City employees increased by 65.1%. At Southern Union, our customers increased 41.6% during the last 10 years, which is very close to the percentage growth of the city population, but our employees increased by only 33.5%. Requests for increases in rates are not decided by these type of statistics, however. Rather, the Public Utility Regulatory Act along with procedures involved in rate making by the Railroad Commission of Texas, have established the criteria by which natural gas utility rates are determined. "I would first like to make several suggestions to the Mayor and members of the City Council. First I would like to suggest that the City Council, as the regulatory authority having jurisdiction, should give preference to public hearings scheduled to consider our statement of intent as provided in Section 43(d) of the Public Utility Regulatory Act. Second, I would like to suggest that the Council instruct the City Attorney and outside counsel and consultants if it is determined it is necessary, to examine Southern Union's Statement of Intent as well as any other necessary data in light of the information contained in the Railroad Commission's Municipality Assistance Packet which summarizes the current procedures and issues involved in rate making in the State of Texas. It is in this area that the City and Southern Union have had substantial differences in recent rate cases. More specifically, these differences in rate making practices have produced recommendations to the City Council by its consultants which were unacceptable to the company and which made it necessary for the company to appeal the City's decisions to the Railroad Commission. The most significant of these differences are: 1. Use of an average year rate base 2. Arbitrarily increasing the deduction for age and condition as applied to current values 3. Deduction of the full amount of deferred income taxes 4. Failure to properly compute working capital allowances 5. Failure to include construction work in progress in rate base 6. Use of other than the 60%-40% weighting of original cost appreciation and the current cost less adjustments for age and condition. "I have for the Council a listing of differences in rate making practices, as well as an excerpt from the sworn testimony of the City's consultant in our last rate case, Mr. George Hess, stating that the practices which he employed in Southern Union's last Austin rate case, were not in accordance with Railroad Commission practices. Last, I would like to suggest that the City Council give serious consideration to saving our Austin rate payers the additional expenses of the appeal process which could amount to $100,000 or more and which have been encouraged in every rate matter brought before the =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 2, 1980 City Council by Southern Union in the last 20 years. If the Council is willing to assume the full burden of regulatory responsibility, which includes dealing fairly with both the rate payer and the utility company, I am confident that this rate matter can be settled at the City level and on a timely basis." MR. ROBERT L. RUSSELL, Executive Secretary, The College Houses, Inc., appeared before Council to tell them about the solar system installed at their 21st Street College House. They were put on a minimum consumption limit of 300,000 cubic feet of gas per month by the Southern Union Gas Company in conjunction with their use of a natural gas-fired 88 ton absorption chiller which the designer of the system incorporated in anticipation of the use of solar energy. Since that time, the solar system has become a reality at College House, and six months out of the year the solar system has reduced their gas consumption to well below the 300,000 cubic feet per month they have to pay for. Many months they have consumed only half of the minimum, but Southern Union still bills them for twice the gas they actually consume, anyway. Mr. Russell said he has appealed many times for a relief on their rates and also has appeared before the Railroad Commission with no success. Mr. Russell said, "It is clear that Southern Union can tailor contract for their customers, they do it all the time. That's what I want, a contract tailor-made for our solar system, a contract that rewards rather than punishes energy ... innovation and energy conservation. They can give us the high volume rate we deserve and they can remove the minimum consumption level that now stands in our way." MR. STEVE GARDNER appeared as the attorney for ACORN with a Petition to Intervene and asked the Council to adopt a motion to this effect. MR. BOB REIMER, attorney for Southern Union, said he did not think it proper for a group to present a Petition to Intervene, that it must be presented by an effected person. Discussion ensued between Mr. Harris, City Attorney, Mr. Garnder, and Mr. Reimer, as well as members of the Council. Motion Failed - Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council not accept ACORN as an intervenor.

JOE RIDDELL appeared before Council and said it has been proposed that the City pay all and this is contrary to the Master Plan. He said these water projects would go to serve development that isn't in accord with proper guideline development for the area. He feels the CIP (Capital Improvements Program) process is being subverted and Council is being asked to reallocate the limited water CIP funds for projects that are outside the preferred growth corridor. He said the Southwest Area Study makes it sound as if the water that comes from these improvements would only go to existing residents and existing legal lots. "That's not the way these improvements would be used, instead they would be used to supply buildout in whatever subdivisions come along. The Maple Run Subdivision, which didn't even have preliminary approval back on August 6th would benefit from these improvements even though there were not any legal lots out there back then. The $300,000 would be a shot in the arm for continued development out there to allow continued approval of plats without proper development controls." CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 2, 1980 Mr. Bill Bulloch, Director of Water and Wastewater, stated, "The staff as a part of the Southwest Area Study put together a technical analysis of water capability in that area. Based on this, we identified some water service pressure problems that have been present and have been getting worse in the past five years. We have quantified to the Council the areas to be served by these improvements, and these are along existing water lines in growth management areas 2, 3 and 4. Of the lots that would be served by these water improvements, they would include existing customers' lots in approved final subdivision and possibly lots in approved preliminaries depending upon their going to final platting as a result of Council's action they are considering now in the task force the Council has created. Some 5,500 lots are in approved final subdivision in Growth Management Areas 2 and 3. Eighteen hundred lots are approved in final subdivisions in Growth Management Area 4. There are existing on the books approved preliminary plats in Growth Management Areas in 2 and 3 that would benefit from these improvements of around 1,024. There are another 537 lots which are a part of approved preliminary subdivisions which would benefit from these subdivisions, if they are to go to final platting in the Growth Management Area 4." Councilmember Mullen asked what would happen if they waited 30 days for approval. Mr. Bulloch told him they would not be able to get the pumps ordered on time, come back to Council for bids, and have the improvements installed by summer. "If that's the Council's wish, we will be considering looking at some lease agreements for pumps in lieu of the portable pumping and so forth we did last year."
