Thursday, January 8, 1981 regular
  • Major Bond Issues Approved:

    The City committed to significant infrastructure investments by approving $62 million in bonds, including $45 million for utility system upgrades (with $30 million earmarked for the South Texas Nuclear Project) and $17 million for various general improvements like parks, public health, and streets.
  • North Austin Growth Corridor Takes Shape:

    Council consented to the creation of the North Austin Growth Corridor Municipal Utility District (MUD #1). This decision included a new financing model for extending critical water and wastewater infrastructure, aiming to facilitate future development in the area, and prompted discussion on long-term user fee policies.
  • Streamlined Urban Renewal & Federal Grant Strategy:

    The Brackenridge Urban Renewal Plan was amended to ease development restrictions, such as setbacks and parking requirements, to encourage new construction. Additionally, a new Request for Proposal (RFP) process was adopted for federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to improve accountability in program allocation.
  • Strategic Land Use and Growth Management:

    The city decided to proceed with eminent domain to acquire an 8.1-acre site for a neighborhood park in Northwest Hills, despite landowner objections. Separately, all annexation proceedings were temporarily halted until after the upcoming municipal elections to ensure proper legal and procedural compliance.

Because of the time constraints that are needed in order to enact an annexation ordinance and to finally pass an annexation ordinance, any annexation ordinance that would begin on today's date or any time in the future would not be approved until late in February and we need 60 days to submit all annexations to the Justice Department for their approval prior to holding any Municipal Election. So in order to not complicate matters, it was advisable to hold off on any annexations until after that particular election.

ALTERNATIVES TO NEIGHBORHOOD PARK SITES IN NORTHWEST HILLS Mr. Joe Morahan, Director of Property Management, presented the following City Manager Report to Alternatives to Neighborhood Park Site in Northwest Hills: "We have obtained a transcript of Mr. Smith's presentation to the City Council. I will respond to his statements and allegations in the following paragraphs and then outline the possible alternative the City Council has in the matter. "Mr. Smith is correct in that he approached P.A.R.D. representatives in October, 1979, to see if the City might be interested in acquiring a portion of his tract as a neighborhood park site. They did discuss several alternatives as to an exact site and the street access to it and tentatively agreed on a specific site, which is the same site and access that is now the subject of the pending condemnation proceedings. The 8.102 acres authorized for condemnation is the 6.383 acre park site plus 1.719 acres for access (future ure streets). Dr. David Reed and Mr. Bob Baker represented PARD (Parks and Recreation Department) in those early discussions. "Mr. Smith now indicates that Dr. Reed assured him that the City would not exercise its powers of eminent domain to acquire his property. Dr. Reed advises that he did not give such assurance and would not have given such a commitment since purchase negotiations are conducted through the Property Management Division. Mr. Smith did submit a written contract proposal dated January 24, 1980, a copy of which is attached hereto. "The contract offer was for a purchase price base of $65,340.00 per acre ($1.50 per square foot) as of December 31, 1979, plus escalation, and it included other terms, conditions and restrictions. The purchase price for the 6.383 acres would have totaled approximately $430,000,00 if the offer had been accepted and closed in, say, later March. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 8, 1981 "Our preliminary indications were that Mr. Smith's offer was too high and that we could not recommend approval without substantiation by an independent appraiser. We asked Robinson and Associates to provide us with their preliminary value opinion. In that connection, the appraiser did enter Mr. Smith's property for observation and the taking of several photographs. We regret that the appraiser did not first obtain Mr. Smith's permission to enter the property. I do not fault the appraiser in this case because we failed to advise him of Mr. Smith's requirement that no one should enter the property except under his personal guidance. There was no intent to deliberately ignore Mr. Smith's request or to violate his rights. We also felt that some of the conditions in Mr. Smith's contract offer were unacceptable but thought that agreement could be worked out if we could get close to agreement on the purchase price. The PARD Board does not normally inspect sites being acquired. The Property Management staff has not inspected the property and has instead relied on the inspections and advice of the PARD representatives and the independent appraiser. We have examined topographical and other maps as well as photographs of the subject area. "The preliminary value opinion of Robinson and Associates is dated March 7, 1980. The market value of the property was estimated at $.65 per square foot or $180,730.00 for 6.383 acres. Since this was substantially below Mr. Smith's asking price, we elected to include the area within the proposed access streets at the same $.65 per square foot rate. The access streets contain 1.719 acres so this increased the area covered by our offer to 8.101 acres for a total of $229,375.00. Our offer was not made until July 17, 1980, due to a delay in getting the street alignment approved by the Planning and Urban Transportation Departments. Mr. Smith did not respond to the offer. "Since the City had been trying to acquire a site for this neighborhood park for two years and had exhausted all acceptable alternative sites, and since there appeared to be no possibility for a negotiated settlement, the decision to recommend condemnation proceedings was made. I might add that the Balcones Civic Association had previously indicated its support.for the acquisition of this site, even if condemnation was necessary. The file was forwarded to the Law Department on August 13, 1980. "The resolution authorizing condemnation was placed on the City Council agenda for the meeting of September 25, 1980. It was passed on the Council's consent motion. Mr. Smith misunderstood the term "consent motion." We did not represent to the City Council or to anyone else that Mr. Smith had given his consent. "The condemnation process requires that the owner receive prior notice of the hearing so it was, of course, necessary to serve Mr. Smith with such notice. The hearing was originally set for December 4, 1980; however, it has been re-scheduled for January 29, 1981, having been postponed at Mr. Smith's request. "Mr. Smith mentioned three existing parks in this neighborhood. Steck Valley is more a greenbelt than a park site. It will have relatively little level usable area. The Barrow Preserve is even less usable than Steck Valley in that it consists entirely of ravines and steep slopes. A playgound at Anderson High School was also mentioned; however, the City does not have any ownership of use agreements covering land at Anderson High. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 8, 1981 "Our appraiser was asked to go ahead with a formal appraisal which raised the unit value to $.70 per square foot which totals $247,000.00 for the 8.101 acres. A copy of that appraisal report has been provided to Mr. Smith, who is, in return, supposed to furnish a copy of his appraisal to the City. His appraiser is Morris Alford. "As I see it, there are three possible alternatives at this point. One is to purchase the property at Mr. Smith's price (approximately $495,000.00) if he is willing to accept that figure. There would still need to be some modification of several of his terms and conditions before final agreement could be reached. We can neither justify nor recommend this settlement. "A second alternative is to withdraw the condemnation proceedings as Mr. Smith requests. This would put us back to square one in finding a neighborhood park site for this area. The prospects of finding an acceptable site for a reasonable cost are very dim. If "The third alternative is to allow the condemnation process to continue. Mr. Smith will provide us with a copy of his appraisal, it might provide the basis for further negotiation. If not, both sides will have an opportunity to present evidence of value before an award is made. Either side can appeal the award if it is unsatisfactory. The Property Management Division and PARD feel that we must recommend the third alternative." It was the consensus of the opinion of the Council to proceed with the third alternative and allow the condemnation process to continue. REPORT FROM LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL Mr. Joe Longley, Legislative Counsel for the City of Austin, reported as follows: He reminded Council that the Legislative Session opens Tuesday, January 12, 1981 and asked Councilmembers to attend the swearing in ceremonies. He also reminded Council of the luncheon hosted by the City Manager and staff members for the Travis County Delegation on Wednesday, January 13, 1981 at the Quorum Restaurant. "As far as an update on our Legislative Report from last time, the City Manager and I were requested to attend the meeting in Dallas of some other urban city managers concerning proposed legislation for the upcoming 67th Legislature. We went up there on December 19 and had a very good meeting in which many of the priority items for the Texas Municipal League legislative program were discussed. Mr. Davidson requested me to propose a draft of an increase in the motor vehicle registration fee which has been a proposal of the Texas Municipal League. It was adopted by the city managers present at the meeting as being an item which they are interested in seeing moved on and coordinated with TML's efforts. It is some thing our City Council should back in this Legislature because if it passes, it will mean more revenues for the City. The increase would be a 50% across the board increase in the motor vehicle registration fees as an alternative to an increase in the auto sales tax. The Controller has indicated he would prefer this method of raising the revenues of municipalities rather than going for an increase in the sales tax. This would be shared on a 50/50 basis with the counties and the cities. The allocation has yet to be worked out as to how that would come about but it would mean more revenue for the City of Austin. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 8, 1981 18 "Another item we discussed at that meeting was the Out-of-County Indigent Care Compensation which was House Bill 1688 last session. I am working with Mr. Grayden who is the legislative counsel for the City of Dallas and we are again getting the legislation prepared and seeing if we can't coordinate our efforts with the Texas Municipal League and the counties seeing if that legislation could be re-introduced and passed. I will keep you informed re its progress. Of specific interest to the City of Austin is compensation for resident physicians and that has been introduced already as Senate Bill 89 by Senator Brooks. Copies of that bill will be forthcoming to you. I am meeting tomorrow with the Administrator of Brackenridge concerning this legislation, and we will go over it in detail to see exactly what the possible savings will be for our hospital. "The Legislation to increase the amount of signatures required for referendum on the franchise has been introduced by Representative Gib Lewis of Fort Worth. It would increase the amount of signatures to 20% of the qualified voters of the particular political subdivision and that bill has been introduced. The Metropolitan Transit Authority enabling legislation that is being proposed by Senator Santiestaben has not yet been introduced but we will be receiving it shortly. Plans are being made for a reception with the Austin Chamber of Commerce in February or early March." ... CDBG PROGRAM 1981-82 Mr. Carlos Herrera, Director of Human Services, reported as follows on the Citizen Participation Plan and Program Development Schedule for the CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) Program: "Attached is the proposed Citizen Participation Plan and Program Development Schedule for the City's 1981-82 CDBG Program Year. The proposed plan is a departure from the planning process adopted in previous years. The most significant change, and the centerpiece of the proposed plan, is the implementation of a Request for Proposal (RFP) process. We feel that the RFP method will provide a higher degree of quality, with respect to the nature and focus of proposed uses of CDBG funds. "In prior years, the plan allowed for broad-based citizen input and response, however, proposals were developed and submitted in an ad hoc manner. Although some of the proposals received were of the highest quality, many were found to be outside of the scope of identified needs and program strategies. HUD (Housing and Urban Development) has expressed particular concern over the previously adopted planning process and has urged the City to improve quality control and to insure greater program accountability. "In its Circular A-102, the Federal Office of Management and Budget highlights the RFP process as a method by which the program planning process can be made more accountable. Additionally, several cities throughout the Country are beginning to adopt the RFP procedure in their CDBG planning process. "Not only does the proposed process provide for a higher degree of quality control and program accountability, it also assures that HUD regulations regarding、 competitive bidding are fully met. Through this process, Council can determine funding allocations in advance of proposal submissions, again insuring greater control. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 8, 1981 19 "Under the proposed plan, the Joint Sub-committee of the Community Development Commission (CDC) and the Planning Commission (PC), would hold public hearings during which community needs and general funding levels are prioritized. These priority needs will serve as the basis for later developing the specific RFP's. Recommendations of the Joint Sub-committee, the PC and the CDC on priority needs and general funding levels will be submitted to the City Council. The City Council will review these recommendations and decide on specific RFP subject areas and cost allocations to be developed by the Human Services Department (HSD). "Proposals submitted in response to RFP's will be reviewed by HSD staff and funding recommendations will be submitted to the City Council. Council will review HSD recommendations and make final contract awards. "The RFP process was utilized for the Architectural Barriers Removal Project funded during FY (Fiscal Year) 1979-80. The procedure proved to be quite successful and did afford greater program control. "The attached draft Citizen Participation Plan and Schedule outlines the process in greater detail. We urge the City Council to consider this new procedure and set a public hearing for citizen input on January 22, 1981; and a hearing on April 23, 1981, on the proposed CDBG general topic app ZONING HEARINGS application. Mayor McClellan announced Council would hear zoning cases scheduled for 10:00 a.m. Pursuant to public notice thereof, the following zoning cases were publicly heard: From "GR" General Retail 1st Height and Area VANCLEAVE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, INC.

This again indicates to us in the investment banking business what a fine credit the City of Austin enjoys. I met with Mr. Muehlenbeck yesterday and we discussed the possibility of maybe not getting any bids and what the alternatives would be. We don't have to worry about that because you do have fine bids. As an example, the Dow-Jones averages is 10.81 as of this week. Your bonds sold considerably under 10.81. The Revenue Bonds, compared with the Dow-Jones averages represents a difference in dollar amount of $11,075,625. "The GO Bonds compared with Dow-Jones averages sold at an amount of $4,995,900 under Dow-Jones averages. I'm quite pleased with the bids. It's always good to have more than one bid and certainly it is a point of interest to me that on the Revenue Bonds the syndicate was made up of 116 members." Mayor McClellan expressed her pleasure that during these hard economic times we continue to enjoy our high credit rating. Mr. Adrian went on to say the 116 members indicates the nervousness in the market and that normally there would not be that many in on a sale but they pooled their resources and said to get after the Austin bid.

C PUBLIC HEARING BRACKENRIDGE URBAN - RENEWAL PLAN Mayor McClellan opened the public hearing, scheduled for 2:00p.m. on Amending the Brackenridge Urban Renewal Plan. MS. BRENDA REESE, real estate director from Austin Redevelopment Authority, appeared before Council. She said, "The Amendment before you is the result of a resolution passed by the ARA Board of Commissioners on December 3, 1980. It recommends the change in the land use establishing a new "B-3" district. The "B-3" district would cover a two block area from 10th to 12th Street between San Jacinto and Trinity. The difference between the current "B-2" district in the Urban Renewal Area is one that would allow no set backs from the front or side street. The existing "B-2" district provides for a 25 foot set back from the front street and a 10 foot set back from the side street. Secondly, it would ease the parking requirement. The recommended change is one space for 550 square feet of gross floor area. The Board of Commissioners held a public hearing in which only favorable comments were received and the Planning Commission reviewed the amendment last night and recommended it. We ask for Council's approval." Councilmember Himmelblau asked what height and area would be permitted if Council approves this. Ms. Reese said the existing "B-2" district allows for a height of 200 feet and this does not address the height, but does the zoning set back. Councilmember Himmelblau said sometimes when you are dealing with a set back you are also dealing with the height and asked Mr. Lillie to comment. Mr. Lillie said it may be the reverse of that. "With an increased set back it may force them into a higher building. If the set back is reduced or eliminated, it may result in a lower building. The plan here is for 15 stories but the height limit is 200 feet. There is about 12 feet per floor." No one appeared to be heard. Motion Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council close the public hearing and adopt a resolution amending the Brackenridge Urban Renewal Plan. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Noes: Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen None Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmember Cooke ! CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 8, 1981 PUBLIC HEARING - SUBDIVISION REQUIREMENT 42 Mayor McClellan opened the public hearing, scheduled for 2:15 p.m. on Deletion of Subdivision Requirement on Zoning Case No. C14-73-228. LUMBERMAN'S INVEST- 7000 Decker Lane MENT CORPORATION By Robert Davis C14-73-228 7900-8100 Loyola Lane Deletion of subdivision requirement. Mr. Lillie reviewed the 1973 proposal and showed a map of the area. He told Council that, according to the Legal Department, the subdivision conditions are not needed by Lumberman's Investment Company and located at 7000 Decker Lane and 7900-8100 Loyola Lane. ROBERT DAVIS, representing the applicant, appeared before Council to state: "The only reason we are here is because at the time the zoning was passed there were two conditions to the final passage of the zoning ordinance. One condition was a restrictive covenant limiting density and the other condition was subdivision, which at that time was a routine condition placed on every zoning case that came up in connection with a piece of property that had not yet been subdivided. That condition has subsequently been eliminated and is no longer required on any case. The staff and Legal Department decided we had the cart before the horse and we needed to get it back to the right perspective. Now you grant the zoning and then you come with subdivision when it is ready for development. That's all we are asking in this case...to get back in the same perspective that every case in the past few years has been in... The Planning Commission will have an opportunity to review the subdivision at that time just as they do in every zoning case that comes up now. "The case is long coming back because there was and still is in existence a deferred zoning ordinance which provides that you can by placing signs on the property, indicating what the zoning is, and there are signs on this property that say this property is zoned "BB" Residence. By putting signs on the property you can defer final passage of the ordinance. We chose to use that method because the property was not ready for subdivision. Had we not had the subdivision requirement back then all we had to do to get the zoning was put the restrictive covenants on it and get the ordinance passed and we would have done it. The reason we did not was because they were not ready to subdivide and still are not." He asked that the zoning be granted, the ordinance be passed without the subdivision requirement. Councilmember Himmelblau said she understands the deferred zoning because it is a tax break to some extent. Mr. Davis said that was not the purpose in this particular case. The land at that time was not ready to be subdivided and is still not. Councilmember Himmelblau asked what will happen depending on Council's action today. Mr. Davis said if the Council leaves the subdivision requirement as a requirement then his client will file a subdivision plat that is really not necessary and may or may not be what will ultimately be developed but will do this in order to get the zoning. Councilmember Himmelblau asked what out there is zoned and not developed. Mr. Lillie told her all the area is zoned for multi-family or commercial use and is undeveloped. (They then looked at maps.) - CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 8, 1981 DEE PALMER, 7200 East Meadowbrook, appeared in opposition to the request and presented a petition opposing multiple family developing. The petition represented 90% of the homeowners. KEITH COD, who lives in the area, said more living units would be a burden on the Police and Fire Departments. A woman who did not identify herself said the signs were up and faded in the weeds. Motion Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council close the public hearing and grant the request for deletion of subdivision requirement on Zoning Case No. C14-73-228. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Mullen, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino Noes: None こ PUBLIC HEARING CDBG PROGRESS AND PERFORMANCE REPORT A public hearing was scheduled for 2:30 p.m. on Presentation of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Progress and Performance Rport. The Mayor announced that inadvertantly the required public notice was not correctly done so the public hearing must be rescheduled for January 22, 1981. However, she said Council would hear from anyone who came today. Councilmember Goodman said it probably was good fortune that they are unable to hold the hearing according to Federal requirements today and asked Council to direct the Human Services Department to present this to the Community Development Commission between now and January 22. Mr. Carlos Herrera, Director of Human Services, stated they will be glad to so that but said some of the Community Development Commission (CDC) members are always present during a public hearing to render separate opinion of their own or collectively from CDC. Motion Mayor Pro Tem Trevino moved that the Council set the public hearing for 7:00 p.m., January 22, 1981. The motion, seconded by Mayor McClellan, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Himmelblau, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Mayor McClellan Noes: None Abstain: Councilmember Mullen - CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 8, 1981 PUBLIC HEARING - STECK OFFICE PARK 대나 Mayor McClellan opened the public hearing, scheduled for 2:45 p.m. on an appeal from Mr. Terrance Kendall, attorney for Steck Office Park Ltd., on the Planning Commission's decision in requiring Steck Office Park Ltd., to be responsible for the cost of off-site water line grid pattern extension. Mr. Kendall was not in the Council Chamber so Mayor McClellan asked Mr. Lillie to contact him to find out if there had been a mis-communication regarding time of the scheduled public hearing. BANNER REQUEST DENIED MR. MARK A. SMITH appeared before Council to request permission to place a "Jaycee Week" banner in a non-approved location I. East First and Congress from January 12, 1981 to January 26, 1981. Council did not grant permission. Councilmember Cooke asked the staff to work with the Jaycees for an alternate location. CITIZEN DID NOT APPEAR Mr. David Connelly had requested to appear before Council to discuss Brackenridge Hospital policies and clinic card changes. He was not in the Council Chamber. RELOCATION OF RED RIVER MR. EUGENE WUKASCH appeared before Council on behalf of all property owners and commercial tenants effected by the proposed traffic restrictions on San Jacinto before relocation of Red River is completed. He asked Council to put pressure on the University to not close San Jacinto until Red River is complete. Mayor McClellan told him there is not a thing Council can do, but they will express their concern regarding the scheduling. SCULPTURE AT AUSTIN PUBLIC LIBRARY MR. RICHARD PATRICK appeared before Council to request permission for display of sculpture at the Austin Public Library from January 10, 1981 to February 15, 1981. Mr. Muehlenbeck said there are some concerns and requirements to be worked out. Library Director Holt said he has not seen the sculpture but wondered if they were large. Mr. Patrick said he would select one and the location. Mr. Holt said he does not want to have a piece of sculpture placed at the front door. Mr. German, Director of Public Works, said they must be certain the City is protected and that the City would be held harmless if someone is hurt by the sculpture. Councilmember Cooke thinks the City is sorely lacking in art and that the sculpture should be placed. Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council approve the request of Mr. Richard Patrick to display sculpture at the Austin Public Library, with conditions to be worked out. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Cooke, carried by the following vote: CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 8, 1981 Ayes: Councilmembers Himmelblau, Mullen, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman Noes: None OPTIONS FOR TRAFFIC SIGNALS Mayor McClellan placed an item on the agenda concerning Options for Funding Traffic Signals. She said there is a justified need for 13 signals and wants to know about placing them in a bond issue. She asked for a report on options of where revenue for the signals can be obtained and that this be placed on next week's agenda for action. MUD POLICY ORDINANCE AMENDMENT Mayor McClellan introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 800320-E (THE MUD POLICY ORDINANCE); AMENDING SUBSECTION B OF SECTION I. (BASIC QUALIFICATIONS FOR CONSENT TO THE CREATION OF A MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT); PROVIDING THAT LAND WITHIN THE CITY MAY BE INCLUDED WITHIN A MUD WHEN SUCH LAND IS WITHIN THE CITY BY VIRTUE OF STRIP-ANNEXATION ALONG MAJOR THOROUGHFARES AND WHEN SUCH LAND CONSTITUTES NO MORE THAN 5% OF THE TOTAL ACREAGE OF THE MUD; SUSPENDING THE RULE REQUIRING THE READING OF ORDINANCES ON THREE SEPARATE DAYS; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY. Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council waive the requirement for three readings and finally pass the ordinance effective immediately. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmember Mullen, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Himmelblau Noes: None The Mayor announced that the ordinance had been finally passed. Prior to the vote, JOE RIDDELL appeared and said the policies should be changed only when particular circumstances justify the change. NORTH AUSTIN GROWTH CORRIDOR MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NUMBER 1 Council had before it an ordinance to consider granting the consent of the City of Austin to the creation of the North Austin Growth Corridor Municipal Utility District Number 1 and authorizing an Agreement concerning the creation of the District and a Utility Construction Contract. Mr. Bill Bulloch, Director of Water and Wastewater, presented an overview of the utility aspects of this MUD (Municipal Utility District). "The financing of improvements internal to the MUD that is being proposed for consent of the City Council is consistent with the MUD Ordinance that has been adopted by the _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 8, 1981 City Council. Secondly, we have been discussing with the MUD people the extension of utilities to the MUD that they are requesting to implement their proposed development and as a result we have been discussing financing arrangements for the approach mains, the 36" water line up FM 1325, the extension of a piece of the Big Walnut Line between IH 35 and Lamar Boulevard which was funded through the 1976 bond election but because of the addition of the cost associated with that project we have run out of money, and for them to receive wastewater service from the City they will have to participate in extendin that portion of the Big Walnut Creek Line from IH 35 to Lamar. Also, to receive wastewater service they will be extending the Wells Branch sewer line which ties into Big Walnut Creek there at Lamar northerly from Big Walnut to the MUD. This will be done on a pro rata basis. The MUD will be financing the lines and be paying to the City their pro rata cost of the lines. In the case of the water line it will be about 2/3 of the cost of the line. In the case of the Wells Branch sewer line, it will be approximately 1/3. In the case of the Big Walnut Line it will be 5%. Their pro rata capacity and their pro rata cost is very small. The City, if this proposal is adopted, will be paying back their portion of the unused capacity and, therefore, the cost of those lines will be financed through MUD bonding. That's the other aspect of the proposal that you are looking at today that we wanted to bring to your attention from the financial aspect." Councilmember Cooke said, "When we go into a participation agreement and if within five years anyone that hooks on to a line like this has to pay their pro-rated share. I think from a hind sight point of view it is a year to a year and a half into the ground before it really starts ticking and by the time other people start hooking on that five years is gone and we lose all those dollars. I know some discussion has been centered around extending that from five years to ten years so we can recoup a lot of these costs from people that hook on. I'd rather see us capture 75% of that market versus 35-40% of the: market. I'm concerned about moving toward that kind of a policy change and tying it to this. I feel we should make that move for the long term good of the City and to pass this on through is the implication that anyone that tied onto this line would be exempt after five years and thus they would be able to tie on without reimbursing the City." Mr. Bulloch said Council can condition that to this particular project. They can always condition particular repayment aspects on any individual project that diverges from the general policy. Councilmember Cooke said he would like to see it done and make that condition to extend the time for length of a participation. Councilmember Mullen asked what the rationale is for having a time limit. Mr. Bulloch said he really does not have an answer to that but could research it and find out. Councilmember Mullen said he thinks it is time to remove that time limit completely. Councilmember Cooke safd he agrees it should be looked at. ED WENDLER, JR. representing Provident Development Company, appeared before Council and showed a slide of available sewer service and Area 4 Growth Corridor. He said, "What we propose to do is extend a 36" water line out 1325 and the District would pay for its pro rata share for that line. It is 66.7% and the City would pay for the oversizing or about 33%. When we were calculating our pro rata share, one of the major factors we took into consideration was whether the Martin Hill Reservoir, located somewhere near, _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 8, 1981 47 would ever be built. If it is not built, then that 36" water line has a capacity of 30,000 gallons a minute with the reservoir. Without the reservoir it has a capacity of 15,000 gallons per minute. At total development our Utility District will need 10,000 gallons a minute of water and we assumed that the Martin Hill Reservoir would never be built because there has been some environmental opposition to it. Therefore, we are paying for 10,000 gallons over 15,000 gallons, or 2/3 of the line. We propose to extend a sewer line to serve the area in yellow, which is 2,700 acres and our pro rata share of that line is approximately only 35% and the City would pay for the oversizing or about 65%. "In addition, the City has depleted its funds to build the Walnut Creek sewer line and they have it under contract to the east of IH 35 but the western portion between Lamar and IH 35 might find the City short of funds to finish that line. Should that be the case, the District will construct that line and pay for its pro rata share of that line, which is 5%. The District abuts the Austin City limits. To finance the utility lines, we are using a State statute 1109-J. ... We are in the bill service area of TP&L and City of Austin Electric, and we have given all of you a letter saying we will use City of Austin Electric and I'd like for that to be part of the record. This is a tool Council can use in promoting growth in a growth corridor. I would like to request the Council ask the staff to come back with some sort of a policy about this with guidelines that would say when you would use this, where, how and tie it to the Master Plan." Councilmember Himmelblau asked, "In the contract are there any penalties provided in case the District is late in making their semi-annual payment?" DAVID ARMBRUST, attorney representing Provident, told Council there are no penalties expressly set forth in the agreement but the City has the ultimate penalty of being able to turn off the water if the District fails to make its payments. We would not object to a provision in the contract which, in the event the District was late in making its payments that they would pay interest." Councilmember Himmelblau said she would like to see something like that. She asked, "What vehicle will the MUD use in billing the customers?" Mr. Wendler said, "We are going to purchase meters from the City of Austin which is in the contract and we will have our own people that will read and bill." Mr. DeLaRosa said the rates are specified in the contract and cannot be lower than the in-city rates and they cannot be higher than the out-of-city rates." JAMES ROSE appeared before Council to state that the proposed sewer line will come through his backyard. He said he thinks the plan is outstanding and will block some of the erratic development which is going on out there now. JOE RIDDELL appeared before Council and said there should be a public hearing regarding this because it is a major change in the financing of the City's growth. KEN MANNING, Zilker Park Posse, thinks the City should not underwrite the MUD. ! _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 8, 1981 time frame for the subsequent user fees. I'd like that deleted so it leaves that open." Councilmember Cooke and Councilmember Mullen said that is fine with them. Councilmember Himmelblau said, "I am extremely uncomfortable with to 48 Motion Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council waive the requirement for three readings and finally pass an ordinance granting the consent of the City of Austin to the creation of the North Austin Growth Corridor Municipal Utility District Number 1 and authorizing an Agreement concerning the creation of the District and a Utility Construction Contract; conditioned on deletion of the 5-year subsequent user fees and interest will be charged for late payment. Councilmember Himmelblau seconded the motion. Councilmember Goodman said, "The only other thing I would add is to reinforce the fact that guaranteeing the portion of indebtedness of this MUD is not a precedent in any way for any future MUD's. This is a unique situation due to the fact that there are inadequate City funds to extend water and wastewater service to the preferred growth area." GARY BRADLEY, member of the Planning Commission, stated, "The Planning Commission, a couple of months ago on another approach main and through work sessions with the Water and Wastewater Department unanimously decided that subsequent user fee limitations were to be done away with and we asked for that to be set in motion. Mr. Bulloch's office has made some movement in that direction but we want that to come to the Council as soon as possible. As we looked in it we saw no logic in it whatsoever. It seemed like lost revenue." Roll Call on Motion Mayor McClellan introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE GRANTING THE CONSENT OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN TO THE CREATION OF THE NORTH AUSTIN GROWTH CORRIDOR MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NUMBER 1, SUBJECT TO VARIOUS TERMS AND CONDITIONS; SUSPENDING THE RULE REQUIRING THE READING OF ORDINANCES ON THREE SEPARATE DAYS; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council waive the requirement for three readings, declare an emergency and finally pass the ordinance. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Himmelblau, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen Noes: None The Mayor announced that the ordinance had been finally passed. =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 8, 1981 UDAG APPLICATIONS 49 Council had a lengthy discussion on designating dates relative to the submission of UDAG (Urban Development Action Grant) applications for the January quarter. The East Austin Chicano Economic Development Corporation, represented by MS. EDITH WARBOW, Director, told Council they are serious about their intent to be ready for the January 14, 1981 deadline. Councilmember. Trevino said that ROLM will not be ready to file until April. Ms. Warbow said she does not think HUD (Housing and Urban Development) will grant two UDAG grants for Austin. Mayor McClellan pointed out that all that Council is posted for action today is to set dates. Either those who want to apply are ready or they are not. All Council is to do today is set a hearing. GENE VASQUEZ, Housing Development Director, East Austin Chicano Economic Development Corporation, told Council they are ready to proceed. Motion Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council adopt a resolution designating the following dates relative to the submission of UDAG applications for the January quarter: - Public hearing to receive public comment 1. January 22, 1981 on UDAG applications, 2:00 p.m. - 2. January 29, 1981 Take action authorizing submission of the applications and committing funds for the 20% local match requirement, 2:00 p.m. The motion, seconded by Mayor McClellan, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Noes: Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen None Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmember Cooke Later in the day, the matter was reconsidered. Motion Mayor Pro Tem Trevino moved that the Council reconsider the previous motion. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried unanimously. Carlos Herrera, Director of Human Services, stated, "I wanted to make sure that we very strongly emphasized a point in considering some action that was taken earlier because I think it is highly important that you understand clearly as to the posture I am taking in this particular issue. The mandatory process that would be required presuming that even if money was found, assuming that you went through the whole process is one that again, last year when we went through this process trying to get get some fu funding recommendations, was one of the primary reasons we had an adverse process with HUD. We've just reached a point with HUD where we feel positive about our relationship with that group. We again are returning, if this action were to follow the way it's laid out, with another amendment following on the heels of what we have just CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXASJanuary 8, 1981 agreed not to put them in that posture again. I want to make that point very clear. If we go with the action which you have established at a public hearing, you subsequently will have to set an action date. I think I need to remind you that only establishes a public hearing. Another point is that the information we have from HUD office, one of the commitments that would be required in this particular project and the Corporation may want to address that, too. All of these commitments have to be in place. One of the critical ones would be 235 and our information from HUD is that they don't have it yet and that HUD is not going to be in a position to have that commitment made to anyone by January 31. So we would be lacking in that application to have that commitment. Consequently I wanted to re-emphasize those points so that in considering what you will be considering in the future there will be some holes in it." Mayor Pro Tem Trevino said, "What you mentioned to me is that I had requested you to identify those monies that would be available and we were specific about Federal monies. You said there were some problems with that and what we ought to do is instruct you to identify other than Federal monies." Mr. Herrera said he wanted to be clear on what Council's instruction is so that the process he just outlined was a priority in a shift not necessarily with CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) but away from that. Mayor Pro Tem Trevino said, "Identify the monies wherever they are, and whatever they are. If they are Federal monies or non-Federal monies, at least for the Council to have these options." Gene Vasquez told Council, "There is a very important point that I forgot earlier. In mid-August is when Human Services started advertising for UDAG applications. At that time we were told we had to come through with a UDAG application that was for at least $1,000,000 before the City would be interested. Now we're hearing the City doesn't have that million that Human Services was committing at that time. I feel that is important. Re the 235 commitment, we are aware that we will not get our allocation probably until the end of the month, but we are in contact with the HUD offices in San Antonio, and we do feel we will receive the 235 allocation we have asked for for this project. 235 is a part of it, but a much bigger part is the UDAG and the financing we have leveraged." Motion Mayor Pro Tem Trevino moved that the Council adopt a resolution designating the following dates relative to the submission of UDAG applications for the January Quarter: 1. January 22, 1981 Public hearing to receive public comment on UDAG applications, 2:00p.m. 2. January 29, 1981 - - Take action authorizing submission of the applications and committing funds for the 20% local match requirement, 2:00 p.m. The motion, seconded by Mayor McClellan, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Mullen Noes: None Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmember Himmelblau CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 8, 1981 51 i COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT Council had before it a resolution to consider setting a public hearing for the earliest possible date to discuss utilization of CDBG monies as City's 20% match for the UDAG (Urban Development Action Grant). After some discussion, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino asked for a report next week on what the options are for additional funding. PAYMENT AUTHORIZED Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council adopt a resolution authorizing payment to the following: AUSTIN MALL COMPANY CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM For installation of Bee Caves Section Two 54-inch water trans- mission main in Walsh Tarlton Lane, Barton Creek Square Mall - $271,886.40 C.I.P. No. 73/22-23 The motion, seconded by Councilmember Mullen, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen, Mayor McClellan Noes: None Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Councilmember Cooke Prior to the vote, JOE RIDDELL appeared before Council and said this would be a reimbursement to the subdivider. Mr. Bill Bulloch, Director of Water and Wastewater, discussed the taps and said a report has been prepared and lines have been installed and tested by the City. Councilmember Himmelblau pointed out that Council has no recourse because it is part of the Capital Improvements Program. OVERSIZE WATER AND WASTEWATER MAINS Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council adopt a resolution approving the following oversize water and wastewater main: BILL MILBURN, INC. - For construction of a 16-inch water main and a 21-inch wastewater main : through Milwood Section 8 - City cost participation, if annexed within one year will be $45,108 for water main and $5,250 for the waste- water main. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Himmelblau, Mullen, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Noes: Mayor McClellan, Councilmember Goodman None Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmember Cooke _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS January 8, 1981 The Council had before them a resolution to approve the following cz oversize water and wastewater main: DRY CREEK WEST JOINT VENTURE Adon Sitra, Trustee - For construction of a 16-inch water main in Dry Creek West $83,316. City cost participation will be $53,853.00 - Councilmember Himmelblau asked for a report on oversizing and what it will open up. Mr. Bulloch showed her a map and explained. Motion Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council disapprove the oversizing. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Himmelblau, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Himmelblau, Mullen, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Noes: Mayor McClellan, Councilmember Goodman None Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmember Cooke WASTEWATER APPROACH ΜΑΙΝ Council had before them for consideration approval of the following wastewater approach main: VILLAGE JOINT VENTURE - For construction of a 27-inch and a 24-inch wastewater approach main to serve the Village at Western Oaks, VIII - XI - $518,393.00. City cost participation will be $421,018.00 if annexed into the City within one year. Councilmember Himmelblau said, "I question the oversizing, not what's needed to serve this one subdivision." Mr. Bulloch showed a map and discussed three options. Councilmember Himmelblau asked, "Will we pick up most of this then with the subsequent user fee?" Mr. Bulloch said with the discussion they have been having regarding no limitation fee, yes. Councilmember Himmelblau said, "They are usually companion pieces. We usually see the approach main and then we see the annexation either on the same agenda or the next week." Further discussion followed. Motion Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council adopt a resolution approving the above. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Goodman. JOE RIDDELL appeared before Council and said he opposed the approval of the wastewater approach main because it would permit growth because it would open up a big area for development. He said to wait on this line and let the other areas in Williamson Creek that have water and sewer available develop under the ordinance and see how the ordinance protects the water quality and then go ahead and decide to go with a line like this. : _ CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS January 8, 1981 Councilmember Himmelblau asked what this will do to the Govalle Plant. Mr. Bulloch told her there would be no trouble now but later there would be. Councilmember Himmelblau said she has trouble with this. Motion Withdrawn Councilmember Himmelblau withdrew her motion, and Councilmember Goodman withdrew his second. DOROTHY RICHTER presented a position paper from the Save Barton Creek Association and said they oppose this. J. W. SMITH said he had gone through the proper procedures, and he wants sufficient capacity to serve the rest of the Village at Western Oaks. He asked for a decision today so he can get on with this. Council agreed to bring this resolution back for consideration on January 15, 1981.
