CITY MANAGER REPORT POSTPONED A City Manager Report on Financing Flood Damage Cleanup and Drainage Maintenance was postponed until July 30, 1981. CETA DELIVERY SYSTEM Mr. John Hopkins, Human Services Department, presented the following report on Alternatives for the CETA Delivery System for Austin/Travis County for FY 1982: "In May of this year, the U.S. Department of Labor announced planning estimates for the Capital Area Manpower Consortium's fiscal year 1982 CETA program. These planning estimates represented approximately a 75% cutback in funding from 10.3 million dollars this fiscal year to 2.4 million dollars next fiscal year. The consortium is made up of the City of Austin, and the counties of Bastrop, Blanco, Burnet, Caldwell, Fayette, Hays, Lee, Travis and Williamson. According to the Consortium agreement, which binds these member governments together, the City of Austin acts as the administrative arm and the Austin City Council is vested with the decision making authority for most programmatic concerns. Over the eight year history of the CETA program, the service delivery system has been broken into an "urban" and "rural" structure. The rural structure has been traditionally administered by Williamson-Burnet County Opportunities, Inc., in Georgetown, which serves all counties outside of Travis County. We contemplate no change to the rural service delivery stystem as a result of these proposed funding cutbacks and feel that the continuing use of this contractor represents the most efficient and cost effective manner of providing services in the rural area. ८ =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS─July 23, 1981 "However, within the past two and one-half years the urban service delivery system has been decentralized from a program operated out of the Manpower Development Division to a network of operations which now includes the Manpower Development Division and six major contractors. "The primary reason that the City was able to easily contract an increasing part of the CETA program following fiscal year 1978 was because funding grew from a level of several million dollars to over 12 million dollars with the advent of the Economic Stimulus Program with many of these new funds being vested in Public Service Employment. Very little, if any, administrative costs were passed along to PSE employers. Since administrative funds could be pooled and did not have to be tied back to any particular grant, more administrative funds were available to the City of Austin and contractors for major training programs than would ordinarily be available. "With this most recent cutback in funding came the end of Public Service Employment, which is scheduled to terminate this September 30, 1981. Therefore, this rich source of administrative support for Titles II-B and VII comprehensive training activities is gone. "An initial assessment of funds required to meet minimum regulatory requirements imposed on the City of Austin as the administrative arm, as well as the administrative needs of contractors, led us to the conclusion that there may not be adequate resources to continue this established service delivery system. "Over the past few weeks we have been working actively with City officials and staff at all levels as well as contractor staff to arrive at workable options to resolve this issue to everyone's best interest. "Regrettably, the only option which the Human Services Department feels comfortable in recommending is a return to direct service delivery by the Manpower Development Division. This recommendation is not without precedent. Prior to fiscal year 1978 the CETA program was funded at levels approximating next year's planning estimates. During that period the division performed services which were later contracted when funding increased. Actually, the division has never stopped serving participants and continuously has had higher. caseloads than all urban contractors combined, as well as higher placement rates. "In addition, many other medium sized prime sponsors in Texas and Oklahoma have been forced into this same decision. Most have opted to return to direct service delivery out of the Central Administrative Office. "This option also represents the best interest of the City of Austin in terms of financial liability and for our residents in terms of service. "A discussion of the three options which would allow continuation of contracting, the recommendation of the department to return to full direct operation, and a look at performance points out why we feel so strongly in favor of this position. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS July 23, 1981 "It should be understood that there are no "winners" or "losers" in this decision. Contractors as well as the City stand to lose large numbers of CETA staff irrespective of which alternative is chosen. Although there are certainly political implications in how resources are allocated, liability and participant services are equally, if not more important. "Alternative One represents a scenario that allows total administrative support from CETA funds as well as contracting. Of all options proposed, this is the most dangerous in terms of City liability. Based on an analysis of staff time necessary to manage approximately six contracts which could be funded, this alternative only provides for about one-half of the total number of man-hours necessary to properly manage the program based on our experience. In addition, since federal regulations require an "Independent Monitoring Unit," we question whether the combination of monitoring functions with operational functions meets the letter or spirit of the law. It also embodies the heaviest layoff of CETA staff of all the alternatives. "Based on our latest audit by the U.S. Department of Labor, of $307,551 disallowed by the grant officer, $303,814 or 98.7% were costs incurred by contractors, while $737 or 1.3% were incurred by City of Austin operations. In good faith, we could not recommend that this already troublesome liability be increased by such a devastating reduction in oversight, monitoring and technical assistance to contractors along with existing declines in participant placement. Ultimately, the City of Austin is liable for these costs to the federal government, and are paid back out of City tax dollars. "Both Alternative Two and Three represent a better attempt at providing oversight and meeting regulatory requirements; however, they too contain pitfalls. The most striking observation of these two alternatives is that they both require the utilization of General Fund money. We would concur if these were alternatives which would not require the use of local tax dollars, could promise an increase in the number of participants entering employment and continued service delivery with organizations which are proven to represent little or financial liability to the taxpayers of the City of Austin. These alternatives do attempt to share the limited federal resources with more local agencies; however, these two alternatives are still not in the best interest of the City. "The third alternative comes closest to meeting federal regulatory and oversight needs, but still falls short since it has little real effect on the total number of CETA staff displaced, requires a substantial sum of General Fund money, and still does not address the question of what service delivery method provides the best benefit to the community. "There is one other important precedent which would be set by accepting Alternatives Two or Three. That is, that the City of Austin would begin to support community based organizations with City tax dollars. As other federal programs such as CDBG (Community Development Block Grant), community action and arts are cut back, it opens the door for organizations losing funds to ask for increasing amounts of General Fund monies to keep their doors open. That is not our purpose as a public entity - rather it is to serve participants. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXASJuly 23, 1981 "The Human Services Department has forwarded a recommendation which calls for vesting more service delivery back into the Manpower Development Division as was the case prior to 1978 when resources were at much the same level as projected for next year. This recommendation provides for the least displacement of City staff, represents the least liability for the City of Austin, provides for NO obligation of General Fund money to support the CETA (Comprehensive Employment and Training Act) program and most importantly could provide for a higher number of participants entering employment. "We feel very confident of these statements. The areas of staff displacement, financial liability and General Fund liability have already been discussed. The area of performance, however, requires some additional attention. "The ultimate goal of the CETA program is to place the highest number of unemployed, underemployed and economically disadvantaged individuals into unsubsidized employment. A few charts will show why we feel that the Manpower Division has been and continues to be the best provider of services. "The first slide which I would like you to see shows that since fiscal year 1979 the total number of CETA participants in Title II-B, entering employment, represented by the red line, has been steadily declining. During this same period, the amount of CETA funds contracted has increased several fold. This decline has concerned Department of Labor officials who visited our office this spring and ultimately requested a corrective action plan which called for performing more job placement activity through the Manpower Division. i "It is also important to note as shown in the second slide, that since 1979 the Manpower Development Division has maintained a higher caseload of CETA participants than all urban contractors combined even into this fiscal year. However, in spring of 1979 the Manpower Division was reorganized and told that although they will maintain these high caseloads, they would no longer perform job placement or counseling activities which were being shifted to contractors. The total number of Division staff assigned to handle this caseload was reduced from sixteen to three, yet the caseload remained about the same. "The dramatic results of this are shown in the third slide which shows a consistently high precentage rate of participants served by the Manpower Division entering employment through March of 1979, but a steady and dramatic decline since that time. "Even with this handicap, the Manpower Division has been able to overcome this placement barrier and place more individuals than other urban program operators. "Two charts best illustrate this point. In Title II-B, although in fiscal year 1980 the Division was competitive in terms of persons entering employment, by fiscal year 1981 they far exceeded other urban operators in terms of placements. ! _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS July 23, 1981 "Similarly, the second chart shows a comparison using placements for all CETA titles operated by the various service delivery agents in the urban area. You see that the Manpower Division still places more than twice as many individuals than any other urban program. Most importantly, this is done with only three staff persons assigned caseloads, and without active job development or counseling services. "I would like for you to consider the thousands of citizens who need employment and training assistance in this community and their best interest in gaining meaningful employment. To paraphrase one Manpower Advisory Planning Council member at Tuesday's meeting, when federal programs for the poor can support themselves, everyone cares about the disadvantaged but when local tax dollars must be used suddenly that concern is lost. "In concluding, let me leave you with several thoughts. We have recommended a service delivery system which calls for a base level of funds to be administered by the Manpower Development Division, provides the least liability for the City, norrequirement of General Fund dollars, displacement of fewer City staff and the most effective method of delivering services with limited funds. The Manpower Development Division already has qualified and trained individuals on-board to meet the requirement of this increased service delivery load. In addition, beginning with fiscal year 1982, the U.S. Department of Labor is imposing performance standards on CETA prime sponsors which must be met to continue receiving funds. "Failure to meet these performance standards may result in reduction of funds. Our best estimate is that our entered employment rate will have to meet or exceed 65% to achieve our perforamnce goals. Performance, therefore, will be extremely important to avoid a further loss of funds, and as you saw in the slide before you, we are continuing to pull further away from this goal under the present service delivery system. "Finally, if the recommendation of the Department is accepted, it would be with the understanding that as additional funds become available, which we expect they may, we would have adequate administrative resources to comfortably contract those additional funds to community based organizations who have proven they can meet acceptable performance standards. The urban share of funds proposed for FY (Fiscal Year) 1982 is 1.5 million dollars. It would establish administrative systems to both serve participants and manage contracts as funds above this base level become available. We were able to contract and encourage contracting when resources expanded, likewise when federal programs are cut back we must back away from structures we cannot afford in lieu of covering participant needs. "We would request that a decision be made today since the U.S. Department of Labor is expecting a response in the form of a draft plan by close of business tomorrow." Councilmember Urdy was concerned as to why this was just coming to the Council when they need to respond by tomorrow and he also had many concerns about the program. Mayor Pro Tem Trevino stated he had just been advised that the City did have another week and he requested this be postponed until next week. Councilmember Goodman agreed, stating there was another alternative that could be considered. Decision was postponed until next week. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXASJuly 23, 1981 MEDICAL SERVICES AT CITY JAIL Chief of Police Frank Dyson presented a report on Medical Services at City Jail, which discussed options. He said the number one recommendation is Option III, which is: OPTION III: A package program provided by MHMR. This option provides a general physician at 33.3% of his time to serve as medical director and to serve as supervisor and consultant to the nursing staff. This option also provides a psychiatrist at 33.3% of this time to furnish psychiatric evaluations and act as consultant to the general physician and nursing staff. General Physician III (33.3% of time) Psychiatrist III (33.3% of time) = = $ 20,724.93 21,423.11 Five Nurse III 5 x $21,723.66 Total cost The number two recommendation is Option II, which is: OPTION II: = = 108,618.30 $150,766.34 Contract with Dr. Blewett to serve as Medical Director, and hire two RN's to provide nursing coverage for 8 hours, 7 days a week. Medical Director Two RN's 2 x $20,000 Medical Supplies = $ 36,000.00 = 40,000.00 13,000.00 = $ 89,000.00 Total Cost Councilmember Goodman said he agrees with Option III. He requested that the City Manager instruct the Municipal Judge and Dr. Randall to review the proposal and then schedule for action at the July 30, 1981 Council meeting. July 23, 1981 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS EXTERNAL AUDITOR FOR ADDITIONAL ACTVITIES Mr. Philip Scheps, Director of Finance, presented the City Manager Report on Engagement of External Auditor for Additional Activities as follows: "It is our recommendation that the City request proposals from the firms of Peat, Marwick, Mitchell and Coopers and Lybrand for an audit of all grant programs for the current fiscal year and for fiscal year 1981-82. "Limiting the competition to the two firms that have participated in the current grant audit for the City is efficient due to the complexity and start-up costs associated with this work. Both of these firms have been closely associated with our grant programs and a two year engagement would coincide with the current engagement period for the City's financial audit. It is our recommendation that following this two-year period a single firm should be retained to accomplish the entire City audit, including federal grants. "By engaging an auditor now to perform a two-year audit, we would have the benefit of immediately having limited test work performed with a long lead time to assure that the final product is available shortly after the close of FY 81-82. The two-year period will also allow the conceptual difficulties which have arisen due to the new federal regulation to be resolved. "We expect the cost of a two-year audit to be less than the cost of two oneyear audits. Furthermore, the questionable future of certain grant programs (due to changes in the Federal government philosophy) will be more easily accommodated into a two-year audit format. We are assured by Peat, Marwick, Mitchell that the lack of a separate grant audit for FY 80-81 will not result in a qualification on the FY 80-81 City audit." SERVICE AREAS FOR WATER AND WASTEWATER FACILITIES Mr. Bill Bulloch, Director of Water and Wastewater, presented a report on Service Areas for Water and Wastewater Facilities. He showed maps of the specific service area and discussed them in relation to the bond proposals. Councilmember Duncan asked that the service areas be acted upon as soon as possible so people know what they will be voting for in the upcoming bond election. UTILITY SERVICE TO UPPER WILLIAMSON CREEK WATERSHED Mr. Bill Bulloch, Director of Water and Wastewater, presented the Status of Utility Service to the Upper Williamson Creek Watershed by displaying a map and indicating on same what the status is. 1 : CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS AUSTIN ARTS COMMISSION REPORT PAUL LECHE, chairman, Austin Arts Commission, appeared before Council to discuss a variety of arts related issues. "Four issues have accrued over the last six months that I want to bring to your attention. We are not asking for action but are presenting this for informational purposes. A year ago last May the Council designated 1% bed tax for use of the Arts. That was one quarter of the actual amount, which meant that there would be a difference between the estimate and the actual amount. That has been referred to as a roll-over amount. We thought we would be able to make recommendations to you this summer in our normal funding cycle for that money, but to get a definitive figure from budget we will have to wait until October. We will be coming back to you sometime in the fall for a supplemental recommendation. "Further, depending upon when we receive notification, we will also come back with a supplemental recommendation on the use of minority arts funds. We've applied to the National Endowment of the Arts for $20,000 in what is termed as expansion arts dollars. After some effort and a visit from a consultant of the NEA we received a grant of $20,000; however, while the money has technically been awarded, the Office of Management and Budget has offered a recision to Congress that jeopardizes this award and so until the 45 working days that both houses of Congress have to act on this decision passes, we won't know. Whether or not that NEA money comes through, we are committed to increasing funding for minority arts groups in the regular cycle of funding. ... ... "The Commission has just helped to start a group called the Black Arts Alliance. They are going to be a counter part to LUCHA (League of United Chicano Artists). We're holding meetings with them and LUCHA, and we are particularly interested in helping them obtain staff rather than program money so they will be in a better position to help themselves administratively down the line. I want to compliment Mr. Ehrler who has helped open doors... Also a year ago we said that some time at the end of the funding cycle we would have a cultural master plan for the City of Austin. We have had to stop work on this because staff cannot work on that and help us with funding at the same time so again, late in the fall, we should come back with a document that I promise will be short and readable and hopefully meaningful. We are using demographic data and dovetailing it with the Park and Rec Master Plan so as to not duplicate efforts or waste any money. "The last issue I want to address is the Texas Commission on the Arts. Historically while there haven't been bad relations between the Austin Commission and the Texas Commission on the Arts, there have been bad relations between city arts groups in the TCA. We have attempted to take the lead in doing something about that by doing some good liaison work, and I will know a little later this week if we have done it properly. If so, we will be eligible to apply for specific block grants from that agency to match City dollars and we will report on that depending on how things turn out." CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXASJuly 23, 1981 PUBLIC HEARINGS - STREET VACATIONS Mayor McClellan opened the public hearings scheduled for 4:00p.m. on vacating the following: 10.0 feet of right-of-way adjoining a lot 59.30 feet x 100.00 feet a part of Lot 4, Evergreen Heights, 1304 Treadwell Street. (Requested Evergreen by Mr. C. M. Lanier, owner) Mr. Richard Ridings, Public Works Department, reported that everything is in order for the street vacation. No one appeared before Council to be heard. Mayor McClellan introduced the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE VACATING AND PERPETUALLY CLOSING THAT CERTAIN PORTION OF TREADWELL STREET, IN THE CITY OF AUSTIN, TRAVIS COUNTY, TEXAS; SUSPENDING THE RULE REQUIRING THE READING OF AN ORDINANCE ON THREE SEPARATE DAYS; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Councilmember Duncan moved that the Council close the public hearing, waive the requirement for three readings, declare an emergency and finally pass the ordinance. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Mullen, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Deuser, Duncan, Goodman, Noes: Mullen, Urdy None Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Mayor Pro Tem Trevino The Mayor announced that the ordinance had been finally passed. The other ordinance before the Council at this public hearing was vacating the following: West 10th Street Alley, 300 block. (Requested by University Savings, owner) Mr. Richard Ridings, Public Works Department, reported that everything is in order for the vacation. MR. JOE RIDDELL appeared before Council to ask that the alley not be vacated because it has been a passageway for 129 years. Also, he said the City is being offered $55,000 for it which he feels is too little money. LARRY LANGLEY, representing the applicant, said the alley is now being used as a short cut to the Court House, and it needs to be closed as a safety factor. People ignore the one way sign. Mr. Langley said $55,000 is the fair appraised value. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXASJuly 23, 1981- Councilmember Mullen questioned the approved value. Mr. Ridings said he would obtain the information and return later in the day. LATER IN THE DAY: Mr. Morahan told Council the appraisal is based on comparable sales in the area. After discussion with Councilmember Mullen; Mr. Albert DeLaRosa, Assistant City Attorney; and Mike Guerrero, representing University Savings because Mr. Langley had to leave the Council Chamber, it was decided to bring this back next week after further research into the value. If the information is not ready, then the item will be on the August 6, 1981 Agenda. CONGRESS AVENUE PLAN Mayor McClellan opened the continued public hearing to consider the Congress Avenue Plan as proposed by the Congress Avenue Task Force at 4:30 p.m. Mr. Ridings, Department of Public Works, discussed the meetings the Citizen's Task Force has had concerning the Congress Avenue Plan. He said the Parks Board has submitted a plan for the beautification of Congress Avenue as well as the Citizen's Task Force. The cost would be about the same for either plan. The Parks Board Plan has parallel parking, while the Task Force plan has angle parking. There would be a few less parking spaces with the parallel plan. ROBB SOUTHERLAND appeared as a member of the Congress Avenue Task Force and discussed their plan which includes peninsulas and angular parking. He said the plan gives space for trees and benches and includes corner modifications. He said it is not a perfect plan, but it is one devised as the result of studies by factions of all areas. He urged Council's adoption. A long discussion followed concerning the merits of parallel versus angular parking for Congress Avenue. BOB COFFEE, member of the Parks Board, appeared before Council to state he does not think the Task Force Plan addresses sidewalks. The peninsula design would make them harder to maintain and money would be spent on maintenance and not on people. BILL ROLLIS appeared before Council to say he thought the Congress Avenue Plan should be postponed until the Downtown Revitalization Task Force is appointed. ALLEN MCRAE, an architect, appeared before Council and asked them to adopt the Parks and Recreation Department Plan. CHARTIER NEWTON, architect, asked what the position is of Public Works and Urban Transportation Departments. Richard Ridings, Public Works Department, said the parallel parking as recommended by Parks and Recreation Board is more functional and will allow wider sidewalks. Maintenance would be better and construction would be easier. Dr. Benson, Director, Urban Transportation Department, said they favor parallel parking because they feel the angular parking is more dangerous. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXASJuly 23, 1981 TOM SHEFFLEMAN, architect, said he has spent a lot of time looking at both plans and favors the Parks and Recreation Plan. DONNA CARTER, member of the Task Force, said she was a dissenting member. She feels there is some other plan, other than the two proposed, which would be better, but she feels of the two, the Parks and Recreation Plan is better. MARTHA HARTZOG, Historic Landmark Commission, said they are for the PARD plan. She asked Council to adopt and fund that plan. WARREN BEAMAN discussed the plans and said it is important to do something for the beautification of Congress Avenue. BILL O'CONNELL spoke in favor of the PARD plan. NOEL LEVY told Council they should adopt the Task Force plan. STEVE DONNIGAN, Chairman, Austin Chapter of Landscape Architects, said the plan adopted should be versatile and he endorses parallel parking. Robb Southerland, appearing for himself, said if Council votes for parallel parking, there will be another petition to take the question to the public. Further discussion followed concerning parking..parallel versus angular. Motion Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council adopt the Task Force plan. The motion was seconded by Councilmember Goodman. Councilmember Goodman said he thinks the Park Board Plan is superior but the Task Force Plan follows the mandate of the people who presented the petition last November concerning Congress Avenue. He said, he is supporting the Task Foce Plan because something should be done. Mayor McClellan said she thinks the right thing should be done and feels perhaps the plans should be sent back for review. Councilmember Duncan said he prefers the Parks Board plan but something needs to be done, and there is an obligation to the people's choice. RUBY GOODWIN, Travis County Democratic Women, told Council to not pass something just because they feel threatened. KAY BRANDT said the money set aside for the beautification of Congress Avenue should be for flood victims and let the merchants on Congress Avenue take care of their own store fronts. Mayor McClellan reiterated she is not satisfied with the Task Force Plan and more work should be done. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS July 23, 1981 Motion Withdrawn Councilmember Mullen withdrew his motion and Councilmember Goodman withdrew his second to adopt the Task Force Plan. Councilmember Deuser said he is ready to vote for either plan. Councilmember Urdy is of the opinion that "we'll never see a perfect plan." More discussion followed and the Mayor said there should be time for further discussion of the plan. She requested the plans be sent back to the Task Force and to the board and commissions concerned. Motion Mayor Pro Tem Trevino moved that the Council close the public hearing on consideration of the Congress Avenue Plan as proposed by the Congress Avenue Task Force. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Mullen, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Duncan, Goodman, Mullen, Urdy, Mayor McClellan, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Councilmember Deuser Noes: None Motion Councilmember Deuser moved that the Council approve the inclusion of $750,000 in bond package for either plan. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Goodman, Mullen, Urdy, Mayor McClellan, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Councilmembers Deuser, Duncan Noes: None RECESS Council recessed its meeting at 6:45 p.m. and resumed its recessed meeting at 7:15 p.m. WATER SERVICE MR. TOM MANNING, president of the Northwest Travis County Municipal Utility District No. 2, requested to appear before Council to ask for approval of a resolution authorizing the District to provide water and sewer services outside the District to eight lots in the Spicewood at Bullcreek Subdivision. Mayor McClellan said Mr. Manning has been called out of town, but Mr. Bulloch is prepared to speak to any questions Council might have about the request. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS July 23, 1981 Mr. Bulloch told Council, "There has been a request by Mr. Reed to provide out of district service for eight lots. Mr. Reed has requested this based upon some existing subdivision work and development that is going on right now. He has agreed to withhold land that's inside the district for platting or development until such time as the Council is satisfied as far as annex- ation of the property and is requesting Council consideration at this time." Councilmember Mullen asked Mr. Bulloch how he feels about the precedent that would be set if the City does not annex it to the district. Mr. Bulloch said people have approached them about out of district service that have existing houses adjacent to the Municipal Utility District (MUD) and they have been told "we didn't feel that appropriate unless they considered annexation into the MUD." The property Mr. Reed is proposing to develop that is outside the District, should logically be annexed to the MUD. Mr. Bulloch stated, "The only hold that we as a City have is denial of water service since the only way he can get water service to the rest of the property is for out of district service and not allowing the subdivision plats to be platted, and I don't know whether we can do that." Councilmember Mullen said he would go with the motion if there can be an agreement that annexation can be completed within eight months. Motion Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council adopt a resolution authorizing the District to provide water and sewer services outside Northwest Travis County Municipal Utility District No. 2 to eight lots in the Spicewood at Bullcreek Subdivision, providing there is documentation stating annexation will be completed in eight months. The motion, seconded by Mayor McClellan, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmember Urdy, Mayor McClellan, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Councilmembers Deuser, Duncan, Mullen Noes: None Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmember Goodman PUBLIC HEARING POSTPONED Mayor McClellan announced there had been a request to postpone the public hearing scheduled for 7:30p.m. which was an appeal by John Meinrath from the imposition of monitoring and maintenance fees related to Maple Run, Sections 4 and 6. Motion Councilmember Deuser moved that the Council postpone until August 6, 1981 at 8:00 p.m. the public hearing to consider an appeal by John Meinrath from the imposition of monitoring and maintenance fees related to Maple Run, Sections 4 and 6. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Urdy, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor McClellan, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Councilmembers Noes: Deuser, Duncan, Mullen, Urdy None Not in Council Chamber when roll was called: Councilmember Goodman =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXASJuly 23, 1931 THIRD ANNUAL SWIMATHON Mayor Pro Tem Trevino moved that the Council approve the request of MRS. MARIA ROCHA EMERSON, representing the Austin State School Volunteer Council, to display posters along major streets of Austin to promote the 3rd Annual Swimathon on August 15, 15, 1981. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Goodman, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Councilmembers Duncan, Goodman, Mullen, Urdy, Mayor McClellan Noes: None Abstain: Councilmember Deuser There was some discussion among Council concerning posters on telephone póles preceding the vote. CLEAN-UP OF LOTS ! MR. ART BROWN appeared before Council to discuss clean-up lots in the City of Austin. clean-up of certain there is a big problem with weeds on these lots. He said the Deputy City Manager and the Health Department have had a list of the lots to be cut for three months and he wonders why the lots are not being cut. Councilmember Duncan said part of the problem is due process and notification of the owner of the problem, giving him time to take care of it before Council can legally act. Dr. Randall, Director, Health Department, listed the lots on which they have received complaints and told when the complaints were processed and cutting done. Mr. Brown said some of the lots have been cut, some have not. Mr. Tom Muehlenbeck, Deputy City Manager, told Council he will check on the lots and report back to Council. MEDITERRANEAN NIGHT Councilmember Mullen moved that the Council approve the request of MR. GENE ATTAL, promotional chairman, St. Elias Eastern Orthodox Church, for permission to place a banner at 11th Street between Trinity and Red River, to promote the church's 40th Annual Mediterranean Night. The motion, seconded by Mayor McClellan, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Deuser, Duncan, Goodman, Mullen, Urdy, Mayor McClellan, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino Noes: None CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXASJuly 23, 1981 CITIZEN DID NOT APPEAR MS. ROSEMARY COFFMAN, zoning chairperson, Hancock Neighborhood Association, had requested to appear before Council to discuss the resignation of Bobby Seaholm as golf pro at the Hancock Golf Course and other related matters. She sent word she would be out of town and would like to appear on July 30, 1981. VARIANCE REQUEST MR. RICKEY LYNN LAZA, owner of Crestview Mobile Home Park appeared before Council to request variance of wastewater increment fee for his mobile home park. He said there had been a health problem with his water supply and when he went to the Water and Wastewater Department to inquire about tap purchase, he was not told about the capital increment fee he would also have to pay. The fee amounts to $17,000 and he cannot afford to pay it in addition to the tap fee. Mr. Laza said he is requesting the waiver on grounds of hardship. Mr. Bill Bulloch, Director of Water and Wastewater, told Mr. Laza the captial increment fee is assessed to all, and has been adopted by ordinance. Councilmember Mullen said the Council feels this is a hardship case but there are many hardship cases, and the City does not have the funds to help them all. Discussion followed among Councilmembers. They asked for a report from Mr. Bulloch concerning the capital increment fee. FUNDS REQUESTED MR. HOWARD WARE appeared before Council, representing the Austin Striders Track Club, and requested assistance with funds for members to represent Austin and the State of Texas in the National Junior Olympics. Mayor McClellan and Councilmember Duncan told him that Council gives the club their strong support but they do not have the ability to use City funds for this purpose. REQUEST FOR TIME PERMIT EXTENSION MR. JOHN NASH, representing Beta Theta Pi Fraternity, appeared before Council to request noise permit time be extended to 1:00a.m. on September 10, 1981 for function at Fiesta Gardens. He was told this would not be possible. After discussion Council instructed the City Manager to instruct the City Attorney to research the ordinance to see if allowances can be made. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS July 23, 1981 CITIZEN DID NOT APPEAR Mr. Ed Ramsey had requested to appear before Council, representing Johnson Creek Neighborhood Association, to discuss flooding of Johnson Creek. He asked that his request be withdrawn and did not appear. REQUEST FOR CREATION OF WATER CONTROL AND IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NO. 21 MR. GERALD J. GOFF, vice president, The Westview Company, appeared before Council to request a resolution for consent to the creation of Water Control and Improvement District No. 21. He said he is asking bonding authority for a central sewage treatment plant and discussed the houses proposed. He said they are not requesting anything from the City. After Council discussion, it was decided to bring this back on the August 6, 1981 Council agenda. BOULDIN CREEK NEIGHBORHOOD MR. NOEL LEVY, representing Bouldin Creek Neighborhood, appeared before Council to discuss tank truck service, removal of creek obstructions and prosecution of contractors' illegal dumping. He said they oppose a permanent carnival on Barton Springs Road and asked that their neighborhood be cleaned up and dumping of materials disallowed. He said they have had a creek clean up and it looks nice. Councilmember Duncan asked for a report on clean up procedures. Mr. Muehlenbeck asked Dr. Randall to prepare a report. RENEWABLE RESOURCES BOND PROPOSAL MR. W. A. BRANT, president, Austin Chapter Americans for Energy Independence, appeared before Council to make public comment on Renewable Resources Bond Proposal. He said he found many of the items objectionable, e.g., the energy house, because he finds this would be a duplication of efforts. ZONING CASE POSTPONED Councilmember Duncan moved that the Council approve the request of Mr. Robert Hageman to postpone the hearing of Zoning Case No. C14-81-105 until August 6, 1981 at 4:30p.m. The motion, seconded by Mayor McClellan, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Councilmembers Duncan, Goodman, Mullen, Urdy, Mayor McClellan, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Councilmember Deuser Noes: None RECESS Council recessed its meeting at 9:00p.m. and resumed its recessed meeting at 9:15 p.m. - CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXASJuly 23, 1981 TRI-COMMUNITY HOSPITAL Mr. Bob Spurck, Director, Brackenridge Hospital, appeared before Council concerning a resolution to authorize the presentation of evidence to the Texas Health Facilities Commission of an alternate means of financing the Tri-Community Hospital through the use of revenue bonds and/or certificates of obligation. Mr. Spurck told Council: "Back in November, 1980, we presented to the City Council for your review and approval a long range plan conceived by the long range planning committee of the hospital that was comprised of three physicians, three board members and four administrators. The plan spoke to survival strategies and corporate plans. One of the plans was multi-institutional arrangement as well management agreements and local cooperative agreements such as the one we have with Johnson City. "On February 26, 1981 we requested permission to submit to the Texas Health Facilities Commission a Certificate of Need application for the construction of a 64-bed hospital in the Austin ETJ (Extraterritorial Jurisdiction) to serve the tri-community area of Cedar Park, Leander, Round Rock and northwest Austin, specifically the 183-Anderson Mill corridor. At that time our Hospital Board, in re recommending that asked the City Council to allow us to pursue two funding options. One and the most preferable at that time was a private/public joint venture through a private investor, which would be a lessee/lessor in which the private investor would construct the facility and then at completion we would lease back the facility for the life of the note. In this case it would have been 40 years. "Unfortunately, the assumptions that we went into the agreement with Mr. Byram have not come to fruition and we are not going to be able to be as solid financially as we need to be to support the hospital and through the application process. If you recall, the HSA approved the certificate of need last Wednesday night and recommended that to the Texas Health Facilities Commission. My purpose for being here tonight is to ask the City Council if they will allow us to amend our application and pursue revenue bonding or certificates of obligation approaches in financing our facility, and this was the second preferable option that the Hospital Board brought Motion brought to the Council's attention." Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council adopt a resolution as follows Whereas the City Council, City of Austin has heretofore authorized Brackenridge Hospital to file an application for a Certificate of Need with the Texas Health Facilities Commission for the proposed tricommunity hospital; and whereas the City Council has heretofore authorized the City Manager and Brackenridge Hospital to pursue a lease-option or purchase arrangement with a private entity as a means for financing the project; and whereas the City Council desires to authorize that alternate means of financing the tri-community hospital project, specifically revenue bonds and/or certificates of obligation be presented to Texas Health Facilities Commission; now therefore be it resolved by the City Council, City of Austin, that Brackenridge Hospital be and hereby authorized to present evidence to the Health Facilities Commission with an alternate means of the tri-community hospital through the use of revenue bonds and/or certificates of obligation. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS July 23, 1981 The motion was seconded by Councilmember Mullen. Councilmember Goodman said there still is the possibility that Byram's financing can be arranged. Very remote. What we are doing here, we are expressing to the Health Facilities Commission our willingness to put before the voters, in case revenue bonds are next on the chopping block, the case of certificates of obligation for the tri-community hospital. A lot of citizens may question our action as to why the City of Austin is interested in building a hospital in the Round Rock area. I think the answer is it has been demonstrated in other Texas cities that if we lose that revenue to another hospital operator and we have one strong competitor that it could seriously jeopardize Brackenridge. What it would cost to build the hospital could be a Brackenridge Hospital deficit in about a three year period. In the long run what I see as most likely if we are issued a certificate of need, it will save us literally millions of dollars in the coming years." Councilmember Mullen pointed out, "Three years ago I favored removing the hospital from the political spectrum and this is a good example why. When it gets into politics you do not make good business decisions because you are fearful because you cannot explain it to the voters. The Hospital Board says to go out and expand Brackenridge Hospital because it is the best business thing to do. The politicians may say, no, because it may lose a vote because it is hard to explain in detail to the public what we are doing. We need a blue ribbon committee running Brackenridge Hospital and not seven politicians. I strongly favor what we are doing here and I think the Council ought to either get on or get off. The idea of having you go out and try to expand the hospital that we are trying to save the hospital, either vote for it or against it, and not have you spend all this time and effort and have you come back and say no." Councilmember Duncan said he agreed there should be a policy. More discussion followed.
