Austin Electric Rates, Bond Debate, Flood Relief

Thursday, June 11, 1981 regular

Here's a summary of the Austin City Council agenda from June 11, 1981:

  • New Electric Rate Structure Sparks Controversy:

    The Council approved "Proposal 7," a new electric rate structure intended to change consumption. The Mayor strongly opposed it, arguing it would unfairly raise bills for families, businesses, and schools, and failed to provide a "lifeline" for the needy.
  • Massive Bond Package Faces Public Scrutiny:

    A public hearing was held for a proposed $210 million bond program covering utilities, general government, and aviation. Citizens expressed strong opinions on funding for flood relief, recreation centers, and heavily debated the inclusion of lignite (coal) power projects.
  • Enhanced Flood Emergency Response:

    Following a significant Memorial Day flood, the city swiftly approved over $18,000 for essential emergency equipment for Fire, EMS, and Police departments, and established a new Emergency Management Office to bolster disaster preparedness.
  • Local Hearing Demanded for Nuclear Project:

    The Council formally requested a public hearing be scheduled in Austin regarding the licensing of the South Texas Nuclear Project, indicating significant local interest in the major energy development.

June 11, 1981 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS EMERGENCY FLOOD RELATED EXPENSES Mr. Guymon Phillips, Assistant City Manager, reported on Emergency Flood Related Expenses. He said the report is an endeavor to identify the needs of the Public Safety Departments (Fire, Police, EMS) to expand their capabilities in responding to flooding conditions similar to those experienced on Memorial Day. Representatives from the three departments have met to evaluate the May 24th disaster and from this meeting have placed their concerns into the following priorities: 1. IMMEDIATE NEEDS (Current Budget) A. The sound generated by roaring creeks inhibited communication between firefighters, EMS personnel and the persons being rescued. Also communication between firefighters and EMS was difficult due to tremendous volume of radio communications on the handi-talkies. Portable power megaphone "Voice Guns" would have been very valuable in giving instructions and encouragement to trapped persons. Recommended purchase of nine units (6 for Fire 3 for EMS) at $350 each $3,150. B. Although the Fire Department had a more than ample supply of rescue rope on each fire apparatus, there were situations where a "Rescue Bag" could have been utilized. These bags contain ropes with flotation devices attached which could be thrown to persons in inaccessable areas. Recommend purchase of forty six units (36 for Fire - 10 for Police) at $20 each = $920. C. The Fire Department experienced a definite need for a method of barricading or marking dangerous water crossings. Fold-up metal barricades with flashing lights would enable the firefighters to mark the area and then respond to other emergency situations. Recommend purchases of seventy two units (2 per fire truck) at $85 each = $6,160. D. In order to insure proper employee safety and still provide some extra for rescue purposes, it is recommended that an additional one hundred four U.S. Coast Guard approved life jackets be purchased. Fifty two would be placed on fire apparatus, to supplement the ones already being carried. Forty two would allow EMS to place two in each of its vehicles. Ten jackets would be strategically placed in selected fire stations (along with ten rescue bags) for use by Police Patrol Units during flooding conditions. Total costs would be 104 units at $30 = $3,120. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 11, 1981 E. During rescue operations, EMS personnel found a definite need for a variety of small hand tools and equipment that could be carried in supervisor's car/or/ambulances.. These included rapelling harness belts, grappling hooks, wrecking bars, shovels, stakes with lashing, rope, rope gun, block and tackle, and complete small tools kit. Total cost for these items $5,215. F. Cost breakdown for each department's immediate needs are: Fire: $10,540; EMS: $7,525; Police: $500; Grand Total: $18,565 Each department has indicated the ability to reduce expenditures in other areas to provide the necessary funds for puschase in this fiscal year. Motion Councilmember Duncan moved that the Council authorize purchase of emergency equipment as follows: Fire: $10,540 EMS 7,525 Police 500 Total $18,565 The motion, seconded by Councilmember Mullen, carried by the following vote: : Ayes: Councilmember Urdy, Mayor McClellan, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Counc11members Deuser, Duncan, Goodman, Mullen PUBLIC HEARING BOND ELECTION - Mayor McClellan opened the public hearing scheduled for 5:00 p.m. on Proposed Projects to be included in Bond Election. Ms. Lee Thomson gave a brief overview as follows: "This public hearing is on a proposed three year bond program for the Fiscal Years 19801981, 1981-82, and 1982-83. It is based on the approved 1980-85 Capital Improvements Program and it is based on the most extensive public participation that has occurred in putting together a bond program....from public work sessions and public hearings, from the Planning Commission and the City Council last summer, and the Planning Commission and the Council this year as well. The proposed bond program includes $119,900.00 new bond authority requested for water and wastewater and electric utilities. It in- cludes $79,330,000 for general government programs and $11,413,700 for aviation bonds for a total of $210,643,700 in requested new bond authority. The aviation bonds are recommended to be sold as revenue bonds for the first time. This program over a three year period, given the information that is available at this time, is both fiscally and programmatically achievable. All programs can be started within the three year period al- though all programs will not be completed until subsequent years. The CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAR June 11, 1981 bond program can be afforded within a 21 tax rate for debt service based on current assumptions about interest rates and other financial criteria. This bond program is essential to continue the current level of Capital Improvement and to enable the City to respond to citizen request for utility and public works extensions. In addition to the programs in the pro- posed bond program Council may wish to consider additional programs in the bond package. For example, we have distributed a list of capital requirements from the Public Works and Parks and Recreation Departments to res to flood damage and flood prevention projects. Additionally we discussed with Council at a recent work session several other projects that Council may wish to consider. We will prepare a memo for Council early next week listing all of the projects in detail and recommending funding for the projects. respond "The list of Capital Projects responding to the flood situation in Public Works and Parks and Recreation Departments is a list of all capital requirements. We are not recommending at this time a funding source but will come back to Council at the next meeting to discuss funding and priorities for these projects." Mayor McClellan told Council, "To date we have $8.6-million estimated from capital requirements on the package from the flooding, probably not counting what is going on today." Mrs. Thomson said that is correct and wants to have the opportunity to assess additional cost requirements after today." Ms. Thomson continued, "The proposed bond program was based on certain assumptions about cash flow and interest rates and other financial factors. The total amount of the proposed bond program for GO bonds can be afforded within the 21¢ bond rate. We would like to do some additional analysis for. Council on the capability to fund additional projects but at this point in time we are not optimistic about being able to raise the amount of the bond program but we would like to come back to Council with information on that next week. So that will require that we discuss with Council some priorities at that time." Marsha Silverfox, a nurse, appeared before Council, and requested them to keep lignite off the bond package. She read a statement concerning the effects on health when lignite is mined and used for fuel. Counc11- member Mullen asked her what we should use for energy since she opposes nuclear energy as well as lignite. Mary White, a nurse, continued reading the report begun by Ms. Silverfox. Paul Robbins appeared and spoke against coal power and in favor of solar power. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 11, 1981 A member of the Friends of Austin Recreation Center asked for CIP funds for the building to be moved fron the 83-84 CIP budget to repair damage caused by the flood and aging. Julia Hart asked Council to repair the Austin Recreation Center. She does not want it forn down. : Pamela Owens asked Council to approve a new Recreation Center on an emergency basis.. Larry Geo, speaking for the Austin Recreational Center, asked Council to move the 1984-85 CIP funds to the present and build a new building. He said the old building, which was inadequate, is now a disaster after the flood. Rod Samuelson asked Council to not include lignite in the bond package. Sandra Torres asked Council to consider a recreation center in far south Austin, south of Ben White. She had letters from several people with the same request. Mr. Ehrler told Council there could be a district park or there could be cooperation with the junior high for joint use of a pool. Robert Barnstone, Congress Avenue Task Force, discussed the plans for Congress Avenue. Ari Wright, Citizens for Public Transportation, asked Council to veto the idea of using money for an expensive terminal. She said the City needs more buses instead of a building. Charles Creech, Austin Science Association, asked Council's support for $410,000 for the partial completion of the Science Center and asked for an additional $200,000 as asked for by the Parks Board but cut by the Planning Commission. Bob Anderson, Austin Chapter of Landscape Architects, favors bonds for downtown revitalization and endorses CIP for Congress Avenue. Aileen Rivera, South River City Citizens, told Council it would be well for them to acquire the Storm Tract for a park. Councilmember Goodman told her it has already been approved. Sue Dorks spoke against lignite and said other plans should be advanced. age. Jane Noris and David Carter spoke against lignite in the bond pack: CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 11, 1981 Margaret Campbell spoke against strip mining. Frank Cooksey, vice-president, Save Barton Creek Association, said the proposals lack specifity so they are not supporting anything yet. He. wondered if any money will be provided to put back the loss of money experfenced in land acquisition. Alba Eddy spoke against lignite as a dirty fuel burn.. Bert Kromak, Save Barton Creek Association, also asked for more specifity. A man from Bastrop spoke against lignite. Did not identify himself.

Motion Councilmember Goodman made a motion to waive the requirement for three readings and finally pass an ordinance implementing the Electric Rate Structure known as Proposal 7. Councilmember Deuser seconded the motion with the following clarification; drop consideration of the $150 hook up charge; add a word statement of the formula used for calculating charges for energy above 500 kilowatt hours in each appropriate place; effective date to be October 1. Mayor McClellan asked, "If the requirement for three readings is waived and this is implemented tonight, how long will it take to implement it?" Mr. R.L. Hancock, Director, Electric Department told her, "Once the Council makes a final decision with respect to the rate matter it will take about 8 weeks to do the necessary reprogramming and testing. If that action is taken tonight, if all three readings are waived, that will be within the first week in August. And if it is implementation of those bills should follow with the initiation of the first cycle billing, which would be the first billing in September.". Amendment To Motion Councilmember Goodman said that would be part of the motion, that it becomes effective September 1, 1981. Councilmember Deuser agreed to the amendment. Mayor McClellan said that if the motion passes it will be interesting for people to see its effect on the summer bill. She asked about the excluston of the $150.00 fee. Councilmember Deuser said he would like to move that to a public hearing process for implementation because he said the $150 charge should read the charge is for a standard single family hookup. For larger hookups there should be an actual cost basis. Councilmember Deuser said this is one of the areas where growth is not paying for itself. He thinks it is an important consideration in terms of money brought into the City to help us track the growth and keep up with considerations of good fiscal policy, but that 16 million dollar additional income to the City will have to be delayed until we have a public hearing on it and implement that as a separate addition to the ordinance. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 11, 1981 Mayor McClellan stated, "If Proposal 7 passes this evening, I would strongly urge and request that we have our Electric Utility Commission look at and advise usmas is their usual policy on how to inform rate payers and bill payers the effect of Proposal 7. Councilmember Deuser said he does not know of any previous "change in our electric rate structure where we indicated that we were raising the rates for homeowners and exactly what their bill was each month. We feel that's important, that consideration would certainly be in keeping with the nature of Proposal 7. ....I think that the im- portant thing is that the public, after adoption of Proposal 7, realize that for the first time in the history of Austin, as you decrease your usage, your cost per unit will go down, as you increase your usage, your average cost per unit will go up. That is a very direct positive signal as to which way you should proceed in the future on your electrical usage." Mayor McClellan stated, "I want this read into the record, so I repeat, I am sure my colleagues have heard me say a lot of this before, but I do want the Minutes and the record to reflect my very strong sentiments on Proposal 7. I will address several aspects of it. I will address the Lifeline aspect first. As I said this plan was sold last summer as a Lifeline proposal to help the elderly and the needy. It is not a Lifeline proposal. It does not help the elderly. It does not help the needy. It is my opinion that the major benefactors will be apartment res1dents, and that it certainly discriminates against families in east Austin, north Austin, west Austin and south Austin. I think any families who are living in poorly insulated homes or whose doors are opening and slamming many times a day with kids who are out of school for the summer will see their bills increase. As I said, if it is implemented, I hope it is implemented by the summer billing, so we can actually see the impact on families of Proposal 7. I think there are probably many more affluent single persons who will see their bills decrease I don't see equity in it. I still believe that the best way to help those who need assistance on their utility bills is direct assistance on a criteria basis of need and you cannot tell on the basis of energy consumption who needs the help. One of the very fine women who was in here seeking for us to adopt Proposal 7 last summer, speaking for ACORN is one whose bill will go up. She said she spent $100 of her $500 a month salary to pay her utility bill. Her bill for her large family is going up under the Proposal number 7 that is to help those whom ACORN represents. The promise of conservation I believe is an empty promise and I believe it: is a hollow promise, and I think you can look at the national statistics that will show that many times in such instances, the rise among the lower level users will wipe out that.... I think it very definitely will have an aspect of inflation. I think if you are going to increase the cost of doing business for virtually every business larger than a convenience store in Austin. and when businesses pay more, it is the consumer that will pick up the tab. They will pick up the tab at the grocery store. They will pick up the tab at the hospital...churches...some churches are going up 28 and 25 percent increase on their utility bills. It will also mean a rise in water and waste- water rates, and many of the people who need help on their electric utility bills also need help in paying their water and wastewater bill. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS June 11, 1981 The City of Austin is not immune from that increase, and in very..you look at library facilities and all of our much used facilities that citizens want opened longer and longer hours, and we will be raising more tax dollars to keep them open. I have a letter by the way which I just received today...I gave you a copy.. from the school district. The School District opposes Proposition 7, pertaining to electric rates, which Council is considering on Thursday, June 11. This says, we estimate implementation of this electric rate plan will cost the school district $166,620 in 1981-82 school year. Who picks up the tab for the school district? The same tax payers. I think that we also should be realistic, and I know you are well aware of the fact that we do have a reality of some drawnout and expensive litigation. For those within the city, of course their redress is election of Mayor and Council, and their only redress in between is the Courthouse, if they feel like rates are unduly discriminatory, as I certainly believe that they are. Those outside the City whom I have been contacted by and who are within our area of service, have indicated that they certainly intend to make use of a law that I understand has not been used before to petition the Public Utility Commission, and if this passes tonight, that would have to occur within a 30-day period of that passage tonight. It is 5% of the rate payers living outside the City. That would raise the possibility for the first time with the Public Utility Commission getting involved in reviewing City of Austin electric rates. Maybe to summarize, and I realize I am being repetitive...but these rates are not based on cost of service. I think if you like to talk numbers and numbers alone, perhaps it looks good when you talk about 132,850 customers whose rates will decline, and 34,539 customers who will increase. Of those 34,539 customers who will increase, 30,000 of them are residential consumers. This is not all big business that is going to pick up the tab. I hope we distinguish very clearly, as I said, to people why their rates are increasing and decreasing and what effect Proposal 7 has had on their rates. I repeat it is not a Lifeline rate to help the elderly and the needy. It is not running our utility in a business like manner. It flys in the face of cost of service based utility rates, and I consider this a major issue that this Council is dealing with and I will continue to strongly oppose it, even though I realize it is about to be implemented. - CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Substitute Mation June 11, 1981 Councilmember Mullen made a substitute motion to have a public hearing on July 2nd at 3:00p.m. The motion, seconded by Mayor McClellan FAILED to carry by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmember Mullen, Mayor McClellan Noes: Councilmember Urdy, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Councilmembers Deuser, Duncan, Goodman Mayor McClellan introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE PRESCRIBING AND LEVYING RATES AND CHARGES FOR SALES MADE AND SERVICES RENDERED IN CONNECTION WITH THE ELECTRIC LIGHT AND POWER WORKS AND SYSTEM OF THE CITY OF AUSTIN FOR RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL, PUBLIC AND OTHER USES OF ELECTRIC LIGHT AND POWER SOLD AND SERVED BY THE CITY OF AUSTIN; ESTABLISHING A FORMULA FOR CHARGES FOR USE OVER 500 KWH PER MONTH; ESTABLISHING A FUEL CHARGE FORMULA; ADJUSTING THE ELECTRIC UTILITY ACCOUNT "RECOVERABLE FUEL COSTS BY REDUCING THE BALANCE BY THE BALANCE OF THE "CONTINGENT FUEL COST ADJUSTMENT RESERVE" AND THE "LOVACA/VA LERO SECURITIES TRUST INVESTMENT" ACCOUNT; ESTABLISHING A CHARGE AND REBATE FORMULA FOR RECOVERABLE FUEL COSTS TO CUSTOMERS; REPEALING ALL ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT THEREWITH; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE; SUSPENDING THE RULE REQUIRING ORDINANCES TO BE READ ON THREE SEPARATE DAYS; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.
