ENERGY MANAGEMENT PLAN Council had before it for consideration a resolution to adopt the proposed Energy Management Plan. Mr. Piet Sybesma appeared before Council and told Council they are being requested to adopt the plan and "your adoption will allow us to qualify for some additional state funding for next year, up to $62,700.00. The state reserves the right to negotiate any amount below that depending upon what you do adopt. If you wish you may adopt the plan in concept. If you wish to leave out the production sector you may do so. The staff and consultant have worked over the past several days to put together a listing of those items identified in the fiscal note which would be no additional cost on the proposed budget; those which would be a low cost, meaning 0-$10,000 in the first year; medium; high cost; and those items for which there was no fiscal information given. Mayor McClellan said it should be understood there is no budget committment but the plan will be adopted in concept. Motion 11 The Council, on Councilmember Duncan's motion, Councilmember Goodman's second, adopted a resolution to adopt the Energy Management Plan in concept (Volume I) except for production sector which will be addressed at a later time and no budget committment.

National Business League September 24, 1981 56,230 150,000 150,000 (The sum of $3,198,002 for the Austin Redevelopment Authority was proposed but was not voted upon.) LIMITED 1981-86 C.I.P. Motion Councilmember Mullen made a motion, seconded by Mayor McClellan to waive the requirement for three readings and finally pass an ordinance appropriating and approving a limited 1981-86 C.I.P. and only funded projects. Councilmember Deuser said the projects which were in the defeated bond issue need to have careful scrutiny and those items funded out of previous CIP projects require less. Mayor McClellan said they need to take action today, because there is a little bit of float. She said they may need to shut down some of the things if funding is not approved. Councilmember Deuser said any projects approved in the bond election should be moved upon without any delay and those that are modest and necessary for the next month's operation should be moved on. But long term. Capital Improvement Projects that were not authorized by the voters in the last election should be looked at carefully. Mr. Muehlenbeck, Acting City Manager, said they would like to address the issues. Mr. Bulloch, Director of Water and Wastewater, stated, "The only projects we are requesting Council to consider are the connecting of houses through our system with fees is a part of our request and then the main rehabilitation program which was started by Council last year through a transfer to the CIP as far as increasing equity tied back to the request and those are the only programs we are asking Council to consider at this time and those are tied back to construction crews and to our operating budget." second. Motion Withdrawn Councilmember Mullen withdrew his motion and Mayor McClellan withdrew her Motion Councilmember Mullen made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Deuser to waive the requirements for three readings and finally pass an ordinance approving certain water and wastewater projects in the 1981-86 C.I.P. Council approved by a 7-0 Vote. R.L. Hancock, Director, Electric Utility, spoke to the requests for electric improvements as follows: "The work activity anticipated for the next 30 days will not require the cash flow of the $3.95 million. That sum of money is required to have the appropriation to support the committment that will have to be made for Council Memo C.I.P. - (Continued) 5 September 24, 1981 transmission structures, sub-station structures and sub-station circuit breakers that will be required to be operational by June of next year in order to provide adequate service in some of the critical areas of the system. We do not have funds available unless we use current funds to connect new meters, to run service and install services October 1. We are out of money for that. We have no bonds approved for that. Our only alternative is to use current funds. All of those items were anticipated in the bond issue but not at the level anticipated here. This covers a 30 day period of normal, routine construction work in subdivisions plus the funding back up to committment for facilities that will be required to be delivered and installed and operational by summer if we are to address the problem at Oak Hill and if we are to address our obligations in the Summit-Sub-station area." Councilmember Deuser asked which items will require cash flow in October. Mr. Hancock told him the South Loop Transmission Line will need money but the majority will not flow at that time. However they must commit for transmission structures and encumber that money sometime in the month of October if they are to get that in for summer operation at Oak Hill. The appropriation has to be there to clear through the Finance Department unless they do some very unusual procedural changes. Mr. Hancock said in the Distribution area the $1.5 million will all flow in the first 30 days. In the sub-station very little will flow in the first 30 days but it is required to support that encumberance for the delivery of manufactured items for that station by June of the year. Mr. Hancock explained all levels are less than was in the bond issue and all money is just what is needed to make the necessary committments within the next 30 days and some of the cash flow requirements in the next 30 days. After more discussion the following motion was made: Motion The Council, on Councilmember Deuser's motion, Councilmember Mullen's second, waived the requirement for three readings and finally passed an ordinance approving certain electric appropriations in the 1981-86 C.I.P. (7-0 Vote) Electric Department to be reviewed in next year's C.I.P. funding. Motion The Council, on Councilmember Mullen's motion, Councilmember Goodman's second, waived the requirement for three readings and finally passed an ordinance appropriating and approving the remainder of the limited 1981-86 C.I.P. and only funded projects. (7-0 Vote) CITIZEN DID NOT APPEAR Mr. Byron Taylor, who had requested to speak before Council, did not appear. CENSORSHIP AND INTIMIDATION Mr. Royal Masset, speaking as a private citizen, appeared before Council to address concern about censorship and intimidation of City employees: "I am concerned about the future possibility of Councilmembers chilling the effectiveness of City employees by intimidation and censorship. Austin is rapdily becoming one Council Memo CENSORSHIP - (Continued) 6 September 24, 1981 of the great citys if the world. One major reason for this has been the excellence of our City staff. It is my opinion that you and Councils of the past have taken this excellence for granted. I do not mean this disparagingly, this is the only City staff you have worked with, but I sincerely believe we have possibly the finest employees of any Council/Manager form of City Government in the United States. We now have the lowest effective property tax rates and second lowest residential electric rates among the seven largest cities in Texas. We can lose these advantages very easily. Probably more important than any given policy decision this Council can make on the future of our City is the overall morale and dedication of our City employees. If our employees feel that efforts are appreciated and their honest judgement respected, then we will continue to attract high calibre personnel sincerely dedicated to the City and to the people of Austin. On the other hand, if our employees feel they are merely political pawns who must tell elected officials whatever they want to hear, then we will attract a very low calibre personnel dedicated only to their job survival. The genius of the Council/Manager form of government lies in the insulation of employees from the political process. I'm sure most of you are familiar with the bond prospectus that Austin passes out to people who are interested in buying our bonds. On the very first page of this prospectus and what I believe is probably the most important piece of information are a list of key appointed officials and the length of employment with the City of Austin. For example, the one I have here, Dan Davidson, City Manager, 11½ years; Jerry Harris, City Attorney, 12 years; Grace Monroe, City Clerk, 33 years; R.L. Hancock, Director of Electric Utility, 32 years; Bill Bullock, Director of Water and Wastewater, 8 years; Jack Klitgaard, Tax Assessor/Collector, 29 years. I suspect that when there comes a time when people interested in purchasing bonds look at this and see a group of our leading officials who have only been with the City a year or two, that sets up an immediate red flag for the type of City that we have. I have four recommendations this Council should use as guidelines in dealing with City employees: (1) Always be courteous, appreciative and supportive of City staff. Last week at a public hearing a rather disturbed young man suggested that any City employee who does not instantly implement the findings of the CCEMP Committee should be fired. I think some one of you should have made it clear to him that you do not arbitrarily fire City employees and do not intend to run a city through intimidation. (2) Do not politicize the City staff. Any authoritative dealing with City staff must be done through the office of the City Manager. No City personnel should ever fear for their job because of the political beliefs of the City Council. (3) Do not limit the ability of staff to make their best professional judgement. They should not have to say that red is green merely to humor the political inclinations of our Council, They should always be able to provide the public the best information they have available. Ultimately you take orders from the public. Our decisions must be based on the best available information not on what you think we should know. (4) Value staff and especially the City administration for their administrative ability. Do they work hard? Are they intelligent? Are they dedicated to the City and people of Austin? Do they effectively deliver City services? If so then you should encourage them to speak out when they differ from you so that you may have the most information available in order to make the best decisions of Austin." Council Memo 7 September 24, 1981 PHARMACY PROPOSALS DISCUSSED Mr. Bill Bode, president, Capital Area Pharmaceutical Association, discussed pharmacy proposals. He discussed the two plans before Council and said he represents the profession and not the business of pharamacy. POLLING PLACES The Council, on Councilmember Duncan's motion, Councilmember Goodman's second. approved the request of Ms. Doris Shropshire, County Clerk, to use the following City facilities as polling places for the Tuesday, November 3, 1981 Election: (5-0 Vote, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Councilmember Urdy were out of the room) 125 Doris Miller Auditorium, 2300 Rosewood 254 City of Austin Fire Station No. 25, 5228 Duval Road 322 Ullrich Water Treatment Plant, 1000 Forestview Drive 331 Austin Recreation Center, 1213 Shoal Creek Boulevard 335 City of Austin Fire Station, 506 W.

This was decided upon during the budget hearing which follows. 1 Council Memo 8 1981-86 LIMITED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM September 24, 1981 The Council had before it consideration of appropriation and approval of a limited 1981-86 Capital Improvements Program and only funded projects. Motion Councilman Mullen moved approval of the limited 1981-86 Capital Improvements Program. Mayor McClellan seconded the motion. In seconding the motion, Mayor McClellan pointed out that only those projects which were already funded were included in the motion. Councilman Deuser felt that the Council should be careful about committing to any C.I.P. project which was not covered by bond funds. Acting City Manager Muehlenbeck stated that the only projects the Council was being asked to consider now were tied back to the operating budget. Withdrawal of Motion At that point, the motion made by Councilman Mullen and seconded by Mayor McClellan was withdrawn. Motion The Council, on Councilman Mullen's motion, Councilman Deuser's second, approved the limited CIP budget for the water and wastewater areas. (7-0 Vote) Councilman Deuser then asked Mr. R. L. Hancock to address the electric CIP requirements for 30 days. Mr. Hancock responded as follows: "With respect to the electrical component, the work activity anticipated for the next 30 days will not require the cash flow of the $3.95 million. That sum of money is required to have the appropriation to support the commitment that will have to be made for things like transmission structures, substation structures, and substation circuit breakers that will be required to be operational by June of next year in order to provide adequate service in some of the critical areas of the system. Now, we do not have funds available unless we use current funds to connect new meters, to run service, and install services October 1. We're out of money for that. We have no bonds approved for that. Our only alternative is to use current funds. Of course, all of those items were anticipated in the bond issue, but not at the level anticipated here. This covers a 30-day period for normal routine construction work in subdivisions, plus the funding back up to commitment for facilities that will be required to be delivered and installed and operational by summer if we're to address the problem at Oak Hill, and if we are to address our obligations in the Summit substation area."
