Austin Growth, Water, and Cable TV
Motorola Plant Approved with Water Restrictions:
A major Motorola manufacturing plant in Oak Hill received approval, but with a critical condition: it must obtain water from a source *other than* the Southwest Transmission Line, reflecting the city's focus on managing growth and protecting sensitive watersheds.Cable TV Franchise Includes Equity Pledges:
A new cable television franchise with Time Inc. advanced, contingent on the company committing to a robust affirmative action policy, including specific goals for minority and women employment, training, and subcontracting practices.Expanded Environmental Protections:
New contractor permit requirements were established for development in the Aquifer-related Williamson Creek Watershed, and a moratorium on subdivision platting was extended for the Slaughter and Bear Creek watersheds, signaling stronger development controls in environmentally sensitive areas.Citizen Voice Shapes Zoning & Future Projects:
A proposed 52-unit condominium project was denied by the Council following a valid citizen petition, and public hearings gathered extensive input for a future bond election, allowing residents to weigh in on critical infrastructure, parks, and cultural projects.

ITEM NOT CONSIDERED Council did not consider an ordinance amending the Williamson Creek Watershed Ordinances (Chapter 41A and 29A) by changing the implementation date thereof to October 1, 1981, because it was covered later in the meeting by an operating budget amendment for implementation of the Williamson Creek Ordinance. CLASS RECOGNIZED Mayor McClellan recognized the presence in the Council Chamber of the 6th grade class from Becker School. (At this point Councilmember Goodman entered the Council Chamber.) PUBLIC HEARING PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT - Mayor McClellan opened the public hearing scheduled for 8:45a.m. to consider an amendment to the Master Plan to allow a Planned Development Area for approximately 150 acres in the Oak Hill Area (C2a-81-001 Motorola Inc.) Ms. Donna Kristoponis, Assistant Director, Planning Department, told Council that Texas cities have limited jurisdiction outside of their City limits and that a Planned Unit Development application is voluntary. The City Growth Management Plan does not encourage growth in Areas IV and V. Motorola is planning to build a plant in Area IV and anticipates complying with all ordinance policies. The Planning Commission has voted 6-2 to approve the PDA. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS May 7, 1981 MR. DAVID ARMBRUST, representing the applicant, told Council Motorola wants to develop on 150 acres out of the Patton Ranch. The Planned Unit Development will have four miles of water line, street and bridge construction, and will employ 4,000 people. It has been difficult to find the right site on which to construct the proposed $200,000,000 plant. It will not be contrary to the Master Plan. Impervious cover will be restricted to 40%. The advantages anticipated will be the ability to protect the Williamson Creek Watershed. Their annual electric bill will be $4,000,000 which will be added revenue for the City of Austin. He asked Council's approval.. CHARLES ESKRIDGE appeared and spoke to the consideration of employment to the disabled which Motorola has. He said they have an excellent program of recruiting and training the handicapped. Councilmember Mullen stated he favors Motorola and wants proper planning. He asked for the total capacity of the Southwest Transmission Main. He asked how much a 30" line would divert from the capacity of the growth corridor; and also asked if this tap was approved, could the City legally deny other service to other people. Mr. Albert DeLaRosa, Assistant City Attorney, told him if Council approves the PUD they can set definite line sizes and capacity table. Councilmember Mullen wanted to know if segregation can occur and only allow Motorola in. Mr. DeLaRosa said that each subdivision can be appropriately decided upon when the request is made. He continued to say if the capacity is available and the applicant is willing to comply with all regulations, then the City cannot deny water. Councilmember Mullen asked what is required to serve the whole area, and Mr. Bulloch, Director of Water and Wastewater, told him the Southwest Transmission line will allow additional water. Councilmember Mullen commented that water to the area will be allowed by letting a firm in Colorado tell the City where the water is to go. MR. TOM CURTIS, representing the applicant, said Motorola only wants service, not control. Councilmember Goodman stated the contract says 100% control. Mr. Davidson stated that type of control would never be recommended. Councilmember Mullen discussed the Govalle sewage treatment plant as it would pertain to the Williamson Creek Watershed. Then, Councilmember Goodman and Mr. Bulloch had a discussion of the projection of growth and build out in the area. Councilmember Mullen said he wants to approve Motorola if the capacity is there. JOHN NOELL, representing Motorola, told Council the basic concept of the plant is high quality living. He reviewed the proposal and said there will not be any cost to the City. The only request will be for service. SUE LITTLEFIELD showed slides of the Oak Hill site where Motorola wishes to build its plant. ROY BECHTOL, landscape architect, said the impervious cover will be less than 40% and said the plant will be in compliance with environmental controls. GEORGE HUMAN, consulting engineer, said the traffic pattern of employees will be compatible with the existing traffic patterns. He said the traffic will demonstrate efficient use of our street system. Councilmember Mullen said that if Motorola's plant is approved, Council is also approving 5,000 proposed living units. A discussion followed concerning the proposed roads. CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS May 7, 1981 Councilmember Goodman asked how many sites in the growth corridor Motorola had looked at. Mr. Armbrust told him seven and they all had serious problems. JOE BEAL, Espey-Huston and Associates, stated the area is already growing and Motorola will encourage the hiring of local residents. Councilmember Goodman asked if any toxic substances will be used. Mr Beal told him that the principle toxic substance would be the acid wash for chips, but there will be internal treatment facilities for handling same. Не said that reasonably speaking, there is no chance of the waste getting into City water. STEVE HARRIS, President, Austin Chamber of Commerce, pointed out there will be 4,000 job opportunities. The proposed housing will be for employees to live near where they work. JOHN WATSON, Chairman, Austin United Way, spoke concerning the "who" part of growth. He said Motorola employees are active in the United Way and asked Council to endorse the plant. TED MILLER, property owner in Oak Hill, expressed concern with the quality of growth and wondered when Council will address the real need of transportation to the southwest. TOM O'MEARA, speaking for the Oak Hill Merchants Association, said 511 residents of Oak Hill signed a petition in favor of Motorola. J. W. SMITH asked Council to approve the Motorola site and support the water line. He presented a petition of signatures of 225 Western Oaks residents who approve the water line. JOHN GAMBLE read a statement from Joan Bartz in favor of Motorola. TERRY STRANGE expressed support as a business owner, a resident, and Chairman of steering committee of the community of Oak Hill business and professional people. He asked others who support Motorola to stand. PAULINE GAMBLE, President, Southwest Neighborhood Association, said they welcome Motorola. FRANCIS CONRAD read a statement from Vickie Cook, Texas Rehabilitation Commission, favoring Motorola. CHARLES RAMSEY, resident of Oak Hill, spoke in favor. HOP HOPENGARTER, who lives in Oak Hill, said the citizens of Oak Hill want Motorola and a traffic flow into Austin is needed. KEMIT VOELKEL, who lives on Shoal Creek Boulevard, said he is tired of hearing about anti-growth. He said Motorola should be permitted to provide jobs. They will be sensitive to protecting the terrain and the environment. =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXASMay 7, 1981 CHARLES PHILLIPS, Farm and Home Savings, expressed support for Motorola. DAVID BODENMAN, Planning Commission member, said he voted against allowing Motorola to build in Oak Hill. He said if the 30" tap is allowed in the transmission line, then the City must be prepared to allow other taps. He said they were told it would take 30 days to get the information they needed. Councilmember Himmelblau commented on the line size for Motorola. Mr. DeLaRosa said he had addressed the obligation the City Council has to take. Mr. Bulloch returned to the podium to answer some of the questions asked earlier. First he referred to a question asked by Mr. Bodenman, "What would it take to serve the entire upper Williamson Creek Watershed as far as line size, capacity, cost, etc. I said (at the Commission meeting) I need at least 30 days to provide you that type of detailed answer. We have information for you now that gives you some magnitudes of service requirements. Mr. Bodenman's question was about line sizing, exact location and operations. I can give you some ideas about what types of requirements in general would be necessary to provide that type of service." Referring to a map, Mr. Bulloch continued, "The question we will attempt to answer is what type of service will be required in the Upper Upper Williamson Creek Watershed and we define that from Brodie Lane to Water District 14 but not including Water District 14, just the SWA and SWB area's. Assuming that the improvements proposed would be in place, this would be additional service. In SWA system we would need to be looking at pumping capability in addition to what we have of about 31,000 gallons per... minute additional pumping capacity into this area. Again, this is a schematic answer, not tied to specific facilities. It would take us 30 days to get that type of detailed information. If we were to see the whole area develop inside Williamson we would be looking at about 15 to 16 million gallons of storage, probably at the highest ground in the area of Oak Hill Heights back in this portion of Williamson Creek. That would allow us to pressurize SWA, provide floating storage for fire protection in peak hour demands. From that point we would be looking at another reservoir somewhere in high elevations, perhaps Thomas Spring Road, somewhere back in the area of the upper reaches of the Williamson Creek Watershed storage tank in the vicinity of 4-6 million gallons. It would provide enough storage for SWB and have enough water in that tank to pump into the highest elevations outside of the water district of SWC into the 1015 system. We would need an additional 14,000 of pumping capacity from SWA into B to provide that type of capability to fill the reservoir. So those are the types of magnitudes you will be looking at it if you were provide water service on a long tem basis to Upper Williamson Creek, not including Water District 14. We need additional time to look at line sizing, location of pumps, sizes of pumps to take that schematic and make it into a detailed master plan of the area. ... Councilmember Goodman asked a question about Onion Creek as far as our funding status. The two basic questions are what would be the total construction cost of the facility and how much in Federal funds do we anticipate and what is the possibility we won't get the Federal funds? The estimated cost for the 11 mile line to the plant location is approximately $21,000,000 total cost. The estimated cost of the plant is approximately $15.8 million for a total of $36.8 million. The cost of participation under existing construction program of EPA is 75/25 so three quarters of that number, about 27.6 million dollars will be forthcoming from EPA and the rest will be matched with local funds." CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXASMay 7, 1981 HANK IKE, resident of southwest Austin, said the Southwest Civic Club voted unanimously in favor of the Motorola plant. PHILIP BLACKERBY, Save Barton Creek Association, said he is not against Motorola, but suggested Council delay a decision for 30 days in order to find out resources needed. NEAL GRAHAM, Chairman, Citizen's Environmental Board, is concerned with the location in an environmental area, but is not against Motorola. He feels the housing development should be split from the development of Motorola. JERRY LOBDILL who lives in Oak Hill said this must be profitable for Motorola and referred to a contract, "the CDC water main contract which would in effect turn over the control of the municipally owned public utility to private interests. Mr. Davidson has, in fact, slipped a contract of this sort by the Council with exactly the same provision in 1976 for J. W. Smith. When we brought this contract to the attention of the public we alleged such a contract was probably illegal and the contract was subsequently terminated." Mr. Dan Davidson, City Manager, said, "Mr. Lobdill that is a very misleading and almost untrue statement which I think ought to be clarified. The contract referred to was fully and openly discussed by the Austin City Council and designed specifically to solve a problem that could be solved no other way. It was not hidden, it was not slipped by, it was on the City Council agenda and approved. It is the only one like it that has been approved. I stated this morning when this type of contract came up that in the case of this Motorola proposal we would not recommend that kind of contract in that case nor do I know of any other situation where we would recommend that kind of contract in the future. You explained it as if it were something that we, in a devious manner, slipped by the public and the City Council, which is untrue." Mr. Lobdill said someone had told him the contract was not discussed. Mr. Davidson replied, "You are assuming the City Council discusses something like that only at one meeting and that matter and that subject is discussed for many weeks as to how adequate service could be provided to that section of the service area and you are neatly leaving out the parts of the conversations and the deliberations of the City Council that you would like to leave out. I'm just pointing out that it is not fair to bring that up in connection with this or any other applicant and I wanted to say that for the record." Mr. Lobdill inferred that not enough notice was given to the public about this hearing or the plans of Motorola. Mr. Albert DeLaRosa, Assistant City Attorney stated, "There are no state laws dealing with a Planned Development Area agreement such as this and consequently there are no nótice requirements and there are no publication requirements. It is my understanding that in the 1961 Master Plan there was a land map attached to that and the land use map indicated various land uses and designated areas as industrial. When Planned Development agreements became formalized in our City ordinance there was no mechanism to handle the approval of those. Consequently they were handled as amendments to the Master Plan because these were for industrial uses and it went back to amendment of the land use map in the 1961 amendment to the Master Plan. However, there is no such land use map currently with our Master Plan but is a process we have generated back from the 1960's and continuing to date. May 7, 1981 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS There are no requirements for publication notices but it was my understanding a notice was published in the newspaper about this public hearing and since zoning can only be accomplished through property located in the City limits we have no control of this property since it is located beyond the limits of our City....." Sally Witliff, Urban Transportation Commission, appeared and discussed the transportation in the area, particularly the bottle neck at 360 and 290. Dick Shockett, member of the Environmental Board, said Austin should try to interest corporations who will develop in the growth area. Roger Duncan appeared and said he thought many major questions have not been answered. He asked for a delay in the decision until answers are obtained. Gary Witt said he wants Motorola to build but is concerned with this particular site. He said it would be difficult for the handicapped to get there. Ken Manning said he is against the site. Motorola's plant should be in the growth corridor. Joe Beal returned to answer a question about specific acids used. He said the primary ones are sulphuric, acidic and hydrochloride which are used for etching the chips. The acids are collected and neutralized in a system with sodium hydroxide. He discussed the waste system and said there are two and if one goes out the other goes on. If both go out the flow goes to a treatment tank. All liquid waste goes through some treatment system. David Bloch appeared and said the waste will go into Austin's sewer system and the waste will consist of metal and plastic. He said there are problems with the Govalle plant and a problem at McKinney Falls. Daron Butler, Assistant City Manager, stated for the record: "What happens at Govalle has nothing to do with what is happening at McKinney Falls State Park, and for the record stated that the State of Texas knew about..the water quality problems in that creek before they even opened that park and were advised never to open that stream to contact sports. So let's separate the issue of the Govalle Plant from McKinney Falls State Park. They are not related. Govalle is below McKinney State Park, therefore it is not related to the issue." Mr. Bloch said there is a question about the Govalle plant being able to handle the sewage coming from the Williamson Creek area. Mr. Butler said, "We would very much like to sit down and work through the issues with you because we sincerely contest the accusations made before the Commissioner's Court yesterday and we think they are inaccurate and frankly were slanted greatly toward the issue and we'd like to have that on the record. We have documented that to the City Council. ...It is true that we do report when we are in violation of our permit but what the man did not say is the measures that we take on our own initiative after that occurs is to come back in immediate compliance, or what the cause of individual violations are and the fact that any plant, not only in the State of Texas but in the country, occasionally violates its permit." ! CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXASMay 7, 1981 Joe Beal returned to the podium to state (in answer to Mr. Bloch's remark about metal wasted) that the chips are made of silicone and gold and they do not let the gold get away from them. Frank Cooksey, vice president, Save Barton Creek Association, said if the ☐ plant is put on the proposed site it will accentuate an environmentally sensitive area Grant Thomas appeared before Council to state he had a petition outside the door of the Council Chamber since 8:30 a.m. and 122 had requested a delay in the decision. Austin Levy, who was on Austin Goals Commission, said it would be all right for Motorola to locate in far north or far south. Strong acids will be used in great quantities, hauled in by truck. If the truck has a collision and breaks open it would be disasterous. Ann McAfee expressed objection to the site because she said people who need jobs would be unable to get there. Joe Riddell said the Motorola plant located on the proposed site would bring too much growth to the Williamson Creek watershed. The plant should be in the preferred growth area. Dorothy Richter, Hyde Park Neighborhood Association, read a note from Jack Evins and discussed the Planning Commission action. Roger Baker said Motorola should not build in Area IV. Ruby Goodwin pointed out to Council the change in the Cherry Creek water stream and said Council should be certain they do not have another change. in a creek water stream. Mr. Doss, Texas Association of Public Transportation, is against the proposal. He said it would create another 183 corridor on 290. David Armbrust returned for his summation and reiterated the building of Motorola will create jobs for Austinites. The expansion will mean it will be the regional headquarters for Motorola. If Council chooses to delay its decision, Motorola will not wait. There are two sites in other cities which Motorola will then pursue. Motion Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council close the public hearing and make a decision later in the day. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Cooke, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Mullen, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Mayor McClellan, Noes: Councilmembers Cooke, Goodman None Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmember Himmelblau : ! i LATER IN THE EVENING: CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS May 7, 1981 Motion Died for Lack of Second - Councilmember Mullen made a motion to approve the Motorola PDA subject to the Water and Wastewater Department coming back in one week with an option that is different than the Southwest Austin Transmission Main. (I understand there may be enough capacity to take care of Motorola alone without the Patton Ranch being included. I'd like for Mr. Bulloch to inform us if that is a possibility.) There was no second to the motion. Discussion followed. Mr. Bulloch said he will study the water to the Motorola site. Councilmember Mullen said he only wants the site approved if there will be no water pressure change in Southwest Transmission Line service to present residents. Motion Councilmember Cooke made a motion, seconded by the Mayor to approve the Planned Development Area as submitted by the Planning Commission. Roll Call on Motion No Action - AYES: Councilmember Himmelblau, Mayor McClellan, Councilmember Cooke NOES: Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Councilmember Goodman Councilmember Mullen ABSTAIN: 3-2-1 Vote - No action taken At the time of roll call, Councilmember Mullen stated, "I think there is a much better alternative that meets both sides needs, it doesn't meet the folks who are from out of town and trying to develop, that is for sure but it does meet Motorola's need and it does meet the need to protect us from starting to go into the Southwest Austin Transmission Main which will open that whole area. I abstain." Motion Councilmember Cooke made a motion to provide water to the Motorola tract only from the Southwest Austin Transmission Main, and approve the PDA. The motion died for lack of a second. Councilmember Mullen said "We would have absolute obligations to supply up to 81% of that total Southwest Transmission Main over to an area where we said we do not want to encourage growth." CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXASMay 7, 1981 : : Mr. Albert DeLaRosa stated, "The Council does know it passed an ordinance last year that basically provides that any direct connection from the Southwest Transmission Main must be expressly approved by the Council. If Council does take action to approve service to this particular tract then it may be precedent setting, dependent upon where the other requests came from and whether they were similarily situated." Councilmember Mullen asked if Council can keep the Patton Ranch from developing. Mr. DeLaRosa said no. More questions about development followed and Councilmember Mullen concluded, "We are in a box." Motion Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council approve the Planned Development Area for Motorola, contingent upon their being able to obtain water from a source other than the Southwest Transmission Line. The motion, seconded by Mayor McClellan, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Cooke, Himmelblau, Mullen Noes: None Abstain: Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Councilmember Goodman RECESS Council recessed its meeting at 1:20 p.m. and resumed its recessed meeting at 2:30 p.m. AUSTIN HIGH BASKETBALL TEAM DAY Mayor Pro Tem Trevino read a proclamation designating May 7, 1981 as Austin High Basketball Team Day.

VERNON LEMENS, JR., representing Mr. Eichelberger, appeared before Council to request exemption for him for Colorado Crossing from the Lake Austin Shoreline Moratorium. He said the moratorium has placed Mr. Eichelberger in a state of near economic disaster. Mr. Eichelberger has been caught in a bureaucratic cross fire according to Mr. Lemens, as his subdivision had been filed and then delayed because of the Thomas subdivision lawsuit and then the moratorium was imposed. Mr. Albert DeLaRosa, Assistant City Attorney, told Mr. Lemens that action will be taken later in the day during the 4:00 p.m. public hearing. Later in the day when the hearing was held, it was voted to continue the hearing to May 14, 1981. CITY OF AUSTIN.

This money was for a waiver of fees for use of the facilities at Rosewood. He also asked for a proclamation to be issued May 16, 1981, recognizing the agony of Atlanta. Councilmember Trevino said the Council can do the proclamation. City Manager Davidson told Reverend Jackson the cause is worthwhile but the City budget cannot be amended at this time. Councilmember Himmelblau said she would like to see the money raised by private sources. AUSTIN METROPOLITAN ROADWAY PLAN Mayor McClellan opened the public hearing, scheduled for 9:30 a.m., to consider a change in the Austin Metropolitan Roadway Plan to reduce the rightof-way on U.S. 183 from 300 feet to existing width, east of I.H. 35 for a distance of 500 feet. Dr. Benson, Director of Urban Transportation, reported on this and said it would be for north side only. ROBERT DAVIS, representing the applicant, stated staff had reviewed and there were no plans for this right-of-way. Motion Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council close the public hearing and approve the change in the Austin Metropolitan Roadway Plan to reduce the right-of-way on U.S. 183 from 300 feet to existing width, east of I.H. 35 for a distance of 500 feet.

Ms. Donna Kristoponis, Planning Department, reviewed last week's portion of the hearing. She said Mr. Lloyd was asked to bring a revised site plan. JOHN LLOYD, agent for the owner, showed the revised site plan reduced to 52 units all taken out of the critical slope area. Councilmember Cooke asked if the tract would support 50 duplexes. Mr. Lloyd answered yes. MRS. BILLIE BEARD contacted homeowners who are for the condominiums. Winnie Howell, who lives on South Ist, is for the condominiums as is Margaret Quadlander. JIM HOOVER, owner of the site, told of the plans for building. THERESA HOLMAN, South Austin Neighbors, told Council about the valid petition against the zoning change.

Mayor Pro Tem Trevino stated for the record the following: (from transcript) MAYOR: Further discussion, Council? TREVINO: Yes, Mayor. I had an opportunity to visit with Mr. Rifkin and Mr. Collins, and my discussion with them was regarding their commitment to affirmative action with regards to their franchise, and I would like Mr. Rifkin to perhaps talk out loud and cover some of the areas he covered last week, and for him to say for the record and to be included in the franchise specifically what we dealt with in regards to affirmative action. RIFKIN: Well, we dealt..we discussed the company's posture with regard to equal employment and affirmative action in the areas of recruitment, training, employment, and purchasing and procurement practices within the community. We tried to orally assure Councilman Trevino of the company's posture. We even referred to our parent company's very strong feeling in this area, and we agreed with him and had subsequently submitted a letter that we are prepared to have read into the record or made a part of the document, as Council sees fit. TREVINO: Let me read and quote from this letter dated May 5, signed by Mr. Collins, and I will just read part of it. Article III, Section 13 of the ordinance deals with the subject of affirmative action. The company would suggest that subparagraph 2 be amended to read as follows: "The company shall provide equal employment opportunity to minorities and women on all levels and in all phases of operation. In addition the companies will =CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS- May 7, 1981 i promulgate an affirmative action policy, which shall cover in addition to employment, training, the granting of internships, purchasing and the employment of sub-contractors. The company shall establish goals and timetables to achieve these policies. You know, while there is a commitment, I would like to know specifically whether you would be willing to accept an affirmative action policy that would be in accordance with the representative population as defined in the Austin Affirmative Action plan. And that is to say..and Council will recall that a policy was adopted several months ago which we talked specifically about the amount of numbers or percentage, you know, of women, blacks, Spanish, handicapped, etc., and if that would be acceptable to you.. RIFKIN: That is entirely within our intent and is acceptable. TREVINO: And there also..in the other area..and I think this is something that we have talked about here at Council level. Unofrtunately, we are covered by State statutes in regard to our bids, but your company has indicated a willingness to set aside a certain percentage of contracts to be let out that would be given or specifically earmarked for minorities, is that correct? RIFKIN: Yes, assuming price and performance standards are acceptable. TREVINO: Okay, would you also be willing to accept the same type of percentage that we have talked to you in regards to the Affirmative Action Plan? RIFKIN: Indeed. TREVINO: And let the record reflect that he has agreed to do so. After further discussion, the following motions were made: (TRANSCRIPT OF PROCEEDINGS ON FILE IN CITY CLERK'S OFFICE) Motion Mayor McClellan brought up the following ordinance for its second reading: AN ORDINANCE GRANTING A FRANCHISE TO CAPITAL CABLE COMPANY, TO OWN AND OPERATE AND MAINTAINA CABLE TELEVISION AND COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM IN AUSTIN, TEXAS, AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

Mayor McClellan stated, "I just want the record to reflect that I am voting on second reading only, and that the third reading is contingent upon those items we just laid out (SEE TRANSCRIPT IN CLERK'S OFFICE) and some further compromise plus the work with the director of KLRU and UT." CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS May 7, 1981 PUBLIC HEARING PROPOSED 7TH YEAR CDBG APPLICATIONS Mayor McClellan opened the public hearing, scheduled for 2:00 p.m. on proposed 7th year CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) applications. Mr. Carlos Herrera, Director of Human Services, stated the purpose of the public hearing is to obtain citizen input on the proposed 7th Year CDBG application. "We have forwarded to your offices the various recommendations by the citizen review bodies, which are composed of the Community Development Commission, the Planning Commission and also the subordinate body created by two known as the joint sub-committee. All of those recommendations have been forwarded to you along with the City Manager's recommendations. We have members of the respective commissions here to speak in behalf of those commissions. Suzanne Colman is here with the Community Development Commission, along with Mr. Benny Serrett, as is Mr. Melvin Flowers representing the Joint Subcommittee." SUZANNE COLEMAN said she is pleased to come before Council with recommendations from CDC (Community Development Commission), which deviate very little from recommendations of the other groups. "We recommended funding for the Tenant's Council and the City Manager did. not. Commission feels they are providing an important service and should be funded. We recommend full funding at $135,000 for the Vaughn House relocation. We believe anything short of full funding will work a hardship on relocation because they have found a house within the same neighborhood. The Commission recommends funding for EACEDC (East Austin Chicano Economic Development Corporation) for economic development activites and none of the other groups recommended this. We also recommended funding for the Central East Austin Economic Development Corporation and we believe this is an admirable attempt to encourage the use of affordable alternative energy sources in the target areas." BENNY SERRETT, member of the joint subcommittee, as a member from the Community Development Commission. "We urge the Council to fund the Tenant's Council..tenant's rehabilitation and proposed school library which would be mobile in two vans. We are committed to the Vaughn House project and ... ... cannot stress enough to you to fund the full $135,000 request. I fully agree with one item of the City Manager's recommendation and that is not to fund EACEDC. The joint sub-committee voted not to fund any of the economic development corporations. The Planning Commission adopted the joint subcommittee recommendation. The CDC did recommend $266,000 for EACEDC. It's our feeling that the present system of fragmenting it out by certain contracts is not sufficient for the needs of the poor. Our constituency is poor in the target areas. As long as we keep in mind our constituency is poor, we will not run into problems with factions. A vehicle has been proposed by CED and joint sub-committee which will help provide services for economic development which we strongly agree exist, but we do not believe the present contracting method is the way to do it." MELVIN FLOWERS appeared to speak to economic development. "During the hearings it was brought out that economic was and is a good tool. There is some conjecture that the City is funding three organizations. One factor that has been implemented with these organizations is the fact of the economic multiplier and the overturning of monies in the community is vital. You can =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS May 7, 1981 Motion Councilmember Himmelblau moved that the Council close the public hearing on the proposed Water and Wastewater Policies.

No one appeared to be heard. | _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS May 7, 1981 purge the projects, I didn't say purge the organizations because they are entities within themselves. Where you have a structure from a corporation that is City funded and right now the Office of Minority Business Affairs is funded through City revenues for approximately $87,000 a year. Augment those funds and have a board consisting of minority business organizations in the community, appointees from the Planning Commission, from the Community Development Commission and as recommended, the three Council appointees. The concept allows the City to continue in business development which it has never entered into before until they funded the organizations. There has been a lot of work done by AMEDC and NBL, but here have been business development that has been in the planning stages for two years with no work done on them. I speak specifically of the business indemnification loan program that Human Services had for a couple of years, but for some reason has not gotten off the ground." MARK TRIGZ spoke for Vaughn House. He said the house for the deaf has located a suitable structure to move into, but they need $135,000. MR. PERELEZ appeared and said he does not agree with recommendation for the AMEDC (Austin Minority Economic Development Corporation). He said they have been cleared of all charges and new housing is needed. He said they have done a one year study of business needs and have a good proposal.

JERYL HART appeared and discussed the setback. Councilmember Goodman agreed with him that a 75 foot setback is more than is needed. A woman who did not identify herself spoke for the Larson estate and said she is happy the peninsula is excluded. TED HOLLAND appearing for Steiner and Cavin said a 50 foot setback would be better. He said something should be done regarding pollution and asked that a decision not be made until next week. JERRY BRADLEY, developer in the Lake Austin watershed is concerned with the overlay on peninsula standards. -CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS May 7, 1981 ! ROBERT BALDWIN requested a postponement of action.

Authority had previously been done. May 7, 1981 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM Dr. Randell, Director of Public Health, reported on Pharmacy Procedures for Medical Assistance Program. He discussed questions raised at last week's meeting, and said, "The first question raised was relative to the Health Department currently filling prescriptions in house. If physicians feel patients need a legend drug, they do supply that to the patient at the time. I tried to get an average of that to give you some idea of the volume, and it averages between 100 and 150 a month. Another item that came up was relative to labels, vials and bottles. Again we have been using them since the program was initiated in 1972. There was recently a change made as far as labels are concerned in as much as each of the clinics had their own labels and we now have changed those so we have one label that can be used interchangeably between the various clinics. There have been no excessive vials or bottles. I asked for a check on the number that have been purchased, and it runs in line with what we have been purchasing all along. We are projecting a short fall in this program, so we will not be buying anything like that. As to computer pre-purchases, this has been-reported to you. "The other matter that came up specifically was about an employee, Adele Fryman, asking questions of candidates. I asked Miss Fryman to prepare for me some affidavits in as much as Mr. Tovar said he had affidavits. I have copies of some reports that have been submitted to the City Manager that were forwarded to me which I have available here." Councilmember Goodman asked Dr. Randall if he considered the incident serious in any way. Dr. Randall said no. Councilmember Goodman said he heard it was not a questioning of candidates but rather a casual conversation. City Manager Davidson stated, "I want to make two points about this. Number one, this program is complying with City Council policy. Contrary to what Mr. Tovar implied. Number two, we would not have any City employee lobbying Council candidates for another effort. We have letters from citizens who overheard this, and I think we are delighted to come and lay this on the table and submit the documentation that Dr. Randall has placed here tonight." Councilmember Himmelblau said she was one who had signed the emergency item last week and did not know what Mr. Tovar was bringing to Council. She stated she completely concurs with the way Dr. Randall has been handling the MAP (Medical Assistance Program). DISASTER PREPAREDNESS COMMITTEE Dennis Simmons, Emergency Medical Services, outlined the Report of Disaster Preparedness Committee. (COPY ON FILE IN CITY CLERK'S OFFICE.)

JOHN KNOELL, an environmental engineer, discussed the ordinance. CONNIE MOORE, representing swimmers at Barton Creek, said a strict ordinance will help. ! = CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS- May 7, 1981 Motion Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council close the public hearing, with action to be taken May 14, 1981.
