CONGRATULATIONS FOR MR. DAVIDSON Mayor McClellan congratulated Mr. Dan Davidson, City Manager, on his new position. He is resigning as City Manager of Austin, effective August 31, 1981. (At this point, Councilmember Urdy entered the Council Chamber at 3:30 p.m.) : : =CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS July 30, 1981 FIRE AND LIFE SAFETY REPORT Mr. Guymon Phillips, Assistant City Manager, presented the City Manager Report on Fire and Life Safety. (COPY ON FILE IN CITY CLERK'S OFFICE) The report concerns the safety of high rise buildings and in February of 1981 the City's Building Inspection and Fire Departments presented a joint report to the Council, which made the following recommendations: 1. Eliminate compartmentation as an alternative to sprinkler systems in all new high rise construction. 2. Adopt a retroactive smoke detector ordinance to bring all existing buildings up to current code standards. 3. Require all buildings over 75' in height to install sprinkler systems within a three year period. The Council authorized the formation of a Citizen's Advisory Review Committee to obtain the opinion of a cross-section of effected parties. The following reflect the final recommendations adopted unanimously by the Fire and Safety Life Committee: 1. Eliminate compartmentation as an alternative to sprinklers in all new high rise construction. This requires that all new buildings over 75 feet in height be equipped with an approved sprinkler system. 2. Require the installation of smoke detectors in all Group R-1 and R-3 occupancies in conformance with the Uniform Building Code Standard Number 43-6. Group R-1 occupancies include apartment houses, hotels, motels and other places of overnight occupancy. It is recommended that the installation period not exceed three calendar years from the date of adoption of the ordinance. Group R-3 occupancies include one and two family residential units. It is recommended that the installation be completed within one calendar year from the date of adoption of this ordinance. A further stipulation is also made in that no certificate of occupancy be issued following remodeling, repairs or other structural changes unless a smoke detector has been installed. 3. Require the retroactive installation of Fire and Life Safety equipment in all existing Group B, Division 2 occupancy (offices) and all Group R, Division 1 occupancy (apartment houses, hotels, motels) which have floors located more than 75 feet above the lowest level of Fire Department vehicle access. Building owners will be given one year from the date of adoption of the ordinance to develop plans for approval by City building officials and a total of three years for implementation of all provisions except for standby power and lighting requirements. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXASJuly 30, 1981 Councilmember Duncan asked if putting in sprinkler systems based on square footage rather than height had been discussed. Mr. Phillips said, no. Councilmember Mullen said he has some real problems with that one because "the whole idea of this was to go someplace where we don't normally go to protect people and there may be some 15,000 square foot buildings where that would be necessary but I think the Committee needs to look at this very seriously before they do it. It may increase the cost a great deal in some cases. I would prefer to leave that item out and consider it as an amendment to this ordinance later on if we desire to do it, but not hold up the whole ordinance just for that one item." Councilmember Deuser questioned the compulsory need for smoke detectors. He said that would be an imposition on the public. Mr. Phillips told him the highest amount of fires (74%) in Austin are residential and the cost of smoke detectors are minimal. Mr. Lonnie Davis, Director, Building Inspection, said the smoke detectors are required when repairs or remodeling exceeds $1,000. Chief Kirkham said the Fire Department recommends them. Mr. Phillips said there will be an agenda item next week to set a public hearing. YOUTH SOCCER WEEK Mayor McClellan read a proclamation designating the week of August 3-9, 1981 as Youth Soccer Week in Austin. Jesse Garza accepted the proclamation with his thanks and appreciation. PUBLIC HEARING - MUD ORDINANCE TO ENCOMPASS ALL POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS Mayor McClellan opened the public hearing, scheduled for 3:30 p.m. to consider amending the Municipal Utility District Ordinance to encompass all political subdivisions created by authority of the Texas Water Code. Bill Bulloch, Director of Water and Wastewater, addressed Council by saying, "The Council requested that staff look at some specific proposals that would give Council a mechanism on a systematic basis review request for consent on water districts, fresh water supply districts, and municipal utility districts. What we have given you is a standard mechanism for review and consent to those creation agreements for water supply and wastewater mechanisms inside the City's extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ). Without going through the details, the concept we have laid out for Council review is the fact water districts are traditionally used for low density rural type supply mechanisms and municipal utility districts (MUD) are more in line for the need for urban type activities and urban type services. We think that is the mode the Council ought to be in as they review the specific request for consent through this proposed ordinance. The key, as you look at this review, is exhibit "A" which details the allowable costs that the Council would be considering under the Ordinance. What we tried to do is make the proposals compatible with the CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS July 30, 1981 Comprehensive Plan as adopted by the City of Austin and also to start considering the intent of the Water District legislation. You will note that the water district allowables are 50% of what is contained on Exhibit "A" and those viables are very low. "I think the Council should consider, as it reviews this, the fact that there is going to be in the next 6 to 12 months a number of specific developments coming forward in Growth Management Area 5 to the west. "We are also aware there is the possibility for those developments to implement their water supply sources through private water supply corporations or privately financed public water supply corporations. We think the Council should look very closely at the allowables in Growth Management Area 5 for MUD's and those allowables may need to be increased so that we are in a position to encourage municipal utility districts so that mechanism for implementation of water treatment plants and water transmission mains is bonded and that debt retired through the MUD surcharge as allowed under State law and we would like you to consider that and discuss it before you enact or discuss enacting this proposed ordinance. "Specifically, I think the staff is recommending that you look at increasing the allowables in Growth Management Area 5 for water facilities and for water approach mains. We will be happy to discuss at what level that should be. We want to make sure that if a MUD is created in Area 5, since we do not have the capacity to extend our system in that area, that those water plants are built to the quality of the City and we encourage good engineering practice, appropriate sizing so we can have a good system so if Council chooses to annex that area they are annexing something they can be assured can be operated by the utility in the future. We recommend you consider increasing those two allowables to a higher rate......water treatment plants up to 100% realizing the relationship and encouraging MUD's as opposed to private water supply corporations and on approach mains up to 60 to 70 to 100% also, and I will be happy to discuss that with you." STUART HENRY, representing himself and Bert Hooper, discussed the consequences of the policy and expressed concern about the City of Austin consent. Councilmembers Goodman and Mullen both said they would rather see a MUD applicant rather than a WCID (Water Control and Improvement District) applicant. Mr. Albert DeLaRosa said he agrees with Mr. Henry that there is not a clear authority. Motion Councilmember Goodman moved that the Council close the public hearing, and bring the matter back on an Agenda sometime in the future. The motion, seconded by Councilmember Duncan, carried by the following vote: Ayes: Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Deuser, Duncan, Goodman, Mullen, Urdy Noes: None Absent: Mayor Pro Tem Trevino _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS July 30, 1981 EXECUTIVE SESSION Mayor McClellan announced that Council will convene in a closed or executive session authorized by Section 2, Paragraphs (e), (f) and (g) of Article 6252-17, Texas Revised Civil Statutes Annotated; and after such closed or executive session, any final action, decision or vote with regard to any matter considered in the closed or executive session will be made in open session, should such action, decision or vote be necessary.

This tract totals 20.02 acres to be subdivided into four lots. "As a part of the subdivision process, Water and Wastewater staff identified the need for system improvements consisting of one fire hydrant along Blue Bluff Lane.

"The associated inspection fee is assessed on the basis of subdivision acreage only, in accordance with Ordinance Number 800925-JJ. At a rate of $200 per acre, this subdivision would incur a fee of $3,003. "The subdivision inspection fee was initiated to recover the cost incurred by the Water and Wastewater Department in processing subdivision requests and inspecting the utility system installation. Total actual inpsection cost for this subdivision is estimated at $500 to $750. "The fee as originally proposed by the Utility and adopted by the City Council does not differentiate on the basis of complexity of system installation or size of tract. "We would be happy to explore further breakdown of the fee structure for potential ordinance revision; however, the $3,0003 fee assessed to this subdivision is consistent with the current ordinance structure."
