Project. He referred to the background and historical summary of the project and showed slides of the project. Mayor McClellan asked what needs to be done from a safety aspect and Mr. Wood discussed the roof with the primary hazard being in the wooden structure. There are leaks and no heat. Mr. Davidson, City Manager, said plans are to repair the roof and have a sprinkler system for fire protection. Councilmember Goodman endorsed the project and requested it be brought back for action. Mr. Davidson, after some discussion concerning funds, said this will be back on the April 9, 1981 agenda. ARA HOUSING REHABILITATION Mr. Carlos Herrera presented the City Manager Report on ARA Housing Rehabilitation. He said two weeks ago Council directed a report be brought back on ARA (Austin Redevelopment Authority) progress over the years and in addition discuss alternatives the City may have as options for running housing rehabilitation and other housing related programs. He told Council they have received a report which included two parts. One is a statistical summary of the years that certain programs were in existence and the accomplishments and expenditure amounts according to the sources of information available to them. The second part includes alternatives the City may want to discuss. Mr. Herrera then summarized the statistical charts contained in the report. (Copy on file in City Clerk's Office) DAVID DAVENPORT, Chairman, ARA, appeared and said it is untrue, as the press states, that the ARA board is fighting to hang on. He said they have been doing the best job for least dollars but there have been a lot of problems. Не said he realizes Mayor Pro Tem Trevino is upset about rehabilitation on Rainey and Guadalupe areas, but it is difficult, when there are already 400 rehabs lined up, to say, "No, we will do Guadalupe and Rainey." He said ARA can meet its goals and he sees ways where money can be saved. In Mayor McClellan's opinion, she said a work session is needed with the ARA Board and Council. Mayor Pro Tem Trevino said, "I think we need to be less concerned with the publicity than we are with what is actually being done. For the record, my comments and criticism on ARA have always been in public and this is not new and did not start with election season. It started back in 1975 and 1976 when some members of this present Council were also members of a previous Council and we seriously considered the possibility of doing one of the alternatives which is being considered now. At that time that particular Council was not favorable to such action, but I have never had to hide behind ballyhoo's. I think if you were here at the Council meetings when we had any discussion on ARA, it is televised, the press is here, we have your staff members usually present and they should at least take the message back to the board and to the staff so I don't think my feelings about the performance of ARA have been a secret." : : C _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 2, 1981 Mayor McClellan said, "I don't think those statements were directed at Johnnie at all. You always identify very clearly what you say, and I think what he is alluding to is some City official talking. You have been very clear. I want to make the record very clear that no one's concern is a newspaper article. What our concern is that stuff is out there in the newspaper when we have been in an extremely busy time, and it is most unfortunate that this stuff hits the newspaper before we have an opportunity to sit down and talk directly with those who are involved. Our concern is most certainly housing in this community, and there is no way those citizens would be giving their time if that wasn't their precise concern too. I think it is time we all sat down together and figured the best course for the future." Councilmember Himmelblau said, "Before I talked to anyone I gave you the courtesy of coming in and giving my thoughts about having this type of program put under the City of Austin." Discussion on this point took place between Mayor McClellan and Councilmember Himmelblau. Edward Badgett, Assistant City Manager, said the alternative is not to take away urban renewal but the feeling is by bringing the function into the City it would be more economical. He also spoke on behalf of the department in saying he did not talk to the press. He said when reports are made, they are of public record, even to newspapers. Mayor McClellan said she assumed when staff prepares something they share it with the appropriate body such as Planning Commission, ARA, etc. "I would hope that if this is an assumption on my part, then, in the future we make it a clear part of the record that anything is shared with anyone directly involved." Mr. Davidson said, "That is a correct assumption in most cases and at the appropriate time, I will be glad to discuss with you and the Council and members of the board the types and kinds of communications that have gone on with ARA board chair, ARA board director for the past several months. I do not think it is appropriate to discuss that right now." Mayor McClellan said she just wanted to set the record straight that if this has been a wrong assumption on her part she wants that type of information shared with those directly involved. Mr. Davidson said, "As far as standard practice and policy is concerned, no clarification is required." Motion Mayor Pro Tem Trevino moved that the Council do the following: 1. Contracts under the FY 1980-81 CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) Program be entered into with ARA for the following programs: (a) Standard Rehabilitation. (b) Section 312 (c) Historic Revolving Loan Fund (d) Acquisition - Rehabilitation (e Section 8: Substantial Rehabilitation (f) Brackenridge Urban Renewal Project Area (g) Blackshear Urban Reneral Project Area (h) Glenn Oaks Urban Renewal Project Area 15 April 2, 1981 _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 2. That the term of such contracts be from the date of their execution to July 1, 1981. 3. That the budget for carrying out the above programs shall include funding for existing staff only. 4. That such contract provide that the activities and services contracted for shall be conducted under the supervision and direction of a project coordinator to be selected by the City Manager. 5. That upon the expiration of the contracts hereby authorized, the City of Austin, to the maximum extent permissable by law, will itself assume and undertake those activities and services provided for under such contract. 6. That the City Manager prepare and present to the City Council; prior to July 1, 1981, a plan whereby the City, to the maximum extent permissable by law, shall undertake those activities and services covered by the contract with ARA. 7. That the Council recommend to the City Manager that such plan include a provision that all existing ARA staff be given the opportunity to become City employees, subject to reclassification of their staff positions in accordance with the City's personnel classification system; such employees to be assigned to positions in the Office, Division or Department which will undertake the activities and services previously contracted with ARA, under the same terms, conditions, rules and policies as City employees. 8. That priorities be given to the Guadalupe and Rainey Street Neighborhoods and that Carnales, Inc., be a priority. Councilmember Goodman seconded the motion. Friendly Amendment Councilmember Himmelblau offered a friendly amendment to retain the board of ARA and transition of staff under the Assistant City Manager's Office. Mayor Pro Tem Trevino and Councilmember Goodman accepted the friendly amendment. Friendly Amendment Mayor McClellan offered a friendly amendment to delete 6 and 7 from the motion until Council has time to meet with the board. RUDY GUERRERA, project manager for Carnales, discussed the acquisition of sites and rehabilitation money. KAY JOHNSON, member of ARA Board of Commissioners, discussed the prioritizing of Rainey and Guadalupe areas. She said people on the waiting list for rehabilitation to their homes would have to be removed in order to put someone on who is not on the waiting list. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS April 2, 1981 Councilmember Himmelblau pointed out that last year the Council appropriated some $400,000 and asked that Raine Rainey Street receive priority. Mr. Knickerbocker was asked to come back to Council and he did not and now Council does not know where the $400,000 went. Ms. Thompson returned to say the money was used for those people whose numbers had come up. She said there are certain priorites to be considered before someone is eligible. Mayor Pro Tem Trevino told her it was made clear by Council that the priority for that money should be for Rainey and Guadalupe, but Council never heard back from ARA and only one house has been rehabilitated in those two areas. Discussion followed concerning the method of priority. GILBERT RAMERO, EACEDC, said they have a list of 30 interested families. BRUCE BELVIN, ARA director of rehabilitation, wondered if there are enough homes in that area that have gone through the initial process so that they can be rehabilitated by July 1. He said 90 days from beginning to end of process is too short. After some discussion it was decided to hold the vote on the motion until more information was obtained. Mayor McClellan announced there will be a work session at 8:00p.m., April 6, 1981 in the First Floor Conference Room, City Hall Annex, with the ARA board of directors. LATER IN THE DAY it was reported to Council that there are three full applications and 6 pre-applications on file with ARA for the Rainey area. Roll Call on Motion with Friendly Amendments Roll call on the motion with both friendly amendments authorizing items 1-5 and priority given to Guadalupe and Rainey Street neighborhoods, showed the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman, Himmelblau, Mullen Noes: None Councilmember Cooke said he has problems with the City take over of ARA. Mayor Pro Tem Trevino said the flexibility will be left with the City Manager. Mayor Pro Tem Trevino said the issue of 6 and 7 and Carnales, Inc. priority will be brought back to Council next week. COUNCILMEMBER'S PARENTS INTRODUCED Mayor McClellan noted the presence of the parents of Councilmember Goodman in the Council Chamber and introduced them to the Chamber audience.
