CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS- MINUTES OF THE CITY COUNCIL CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS Regular Meeting August 27, 1981 3:00 Ρ.Μ. The meeting was called to order with Mayor McClellan presiding. Roll Call: Present: Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Deuser, Duncan, Mullen Absent: Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Councilmembers Goodman, Urdy INVOCATION The Invocation was given by Reverend Scott R. Somers, Associate Pastor, First United Methodist Church. At this time, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino and Councilmembers Goodman and Urdy entered the Council Chamber. AWARDS PRESENTATION TO AUSTIN FIRE DEPARTMENT Mayor McClellan presented Certificates of Appreciation to Santiago Rios and Claude and Leona Rutledge. On May 7, 1981 a fire started at 1606 Navasota Street. Mr. Rios escaped through the bedroom window. He then rescued Mr. Felix Hernandez (age 104) and Mrs. Catherina Torres (age 96). All three suffered smoke inhalation and were transported to Brackenridge Hospital. Mayor McClellan commended Mr. Rios for his act of bravery in saving the lives of two elderly people. Mayor McClellan announced the Austin Fire Department wanted to express thanks to Claude and Leonora Rutledge for their continuing services to all members of the Department and the citizens of Austin. The Rutledge's, members of the Salvation Army, arrive at the scene of an emergency to serve hot coffee, sandwiches and donuts. This particular recognition is for the untiring services the Rutledges rendered during May and June floods. CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS August 27, 1981 Medal of Valor The Awards Committee of the Austin Fire Department, according to Mayor McClellan, voted unanimously to present Medals of Valor to Lt. James A. Fiero and Firefighter Shane Anderson for actions during the Memorial Day flood. Lt. Fiero led his crew into the treacherous waters of Shoal Creek to rescue a man to safety from his automobile shortly before it washed down the creek. Firefighter Anderson tied a rope around his waist, secured the other end to a tree and waded out into the chest high rushing water to rescue a lady from inside a vehicle. Just as he removed her from the car, the car began to be swept away. As he started back toward higher ground he was swept off his feet several times, but never let go of the person he was rescuing until they were both pulled from the water. Medal of Merit The Medal of Merit was awarded to Captain Danny Stamper. He rescued two women on Highland Pass during the Memorial Day flood May 24, 1981 and as Acting District Chief during the flood, he was nominated for his leadership and supervision of District II during the flood. Unit Citations Mayor McClellan stated the criteria for a Unit Citation reads: "to be awarded to the unit acting in a supportive role to actions performed by the individual awarded any of the 3 medals. Actions of the unit would be considered above and beyond the normal scope of duties..." A Unit Citation was awarded to Unit 212-B for their supportive role to Lt. Jim Fiero (F.F. Kenneth Bingham and F.F. Richard Pike) and Unit 221-B for its supportive role of Firefighter Shane Anderson (Lt. George Krudop and Specialist James Horvath). When a situation occurs such as the disasterous flooding, it is very difficult to select particular units for special recognition when every Fire Department unit was on the streets and all performing in an outstanding manner. Taking all this into consideration, the Awards Committee felt that three particular units performed in an outstanding manner in very dangerous situations. Those three units are awarded Unit Citations for those acts of bravery. Unit 101 - B shift Lt. Sam Faust Specialist David Kirkland Firefighter Lawrence W.
