Austin's 1981 Agenda: Streets, Housing, Water Rates, Zoning

Wednesday, October 7, 1981 regular
  • Major Infrastructure & Development Push:

    Authorized land acquisition via eminent domain for East Riverside Drive improvements and awarded multiple engineering contracts for new roads, bridges, sidewalks, and drainage projects citywide. The city also approved several significant zoning changes, reclassifying some residential areas for light industrial and office use.
  • Addressing Key Social & Housing Issues:

    Discussed proposed amendments to the Fair Housing ordinance and confirmed an initiative petition for a new Fair Housing Ordinance lacked sufficient signatures (allowing petitioners more time to collect). The city also began grappling with complex issues related to acquiring flood-damaged properties and officially supported state-mandaled reserved parking for disabled citizens.
  • Utility, Planning, & Public Safety:

    Debated potential water rate adjustments to ensure equitable billing for customers in surrounding water districts and municipal utility districts. Additionally, the city revised speed limits on MoPac and Pleasant Valley Road and set a public hearing to consider requiring streetlights in all new urban subdivisions.

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. RECESS Council recessed its meeting for executive session at 3:50 p.m. and resumed its recessed meeting at 4:15 p.m. RATE ADJUSTMENTS Mr. Bill Bulloch, Director of Water and Wastewater, reported as follows: on the Rate Adjustment for Water Districts and Municipal Utility Districts: "The major concern was to make sure those customers inside water districts and MUD's were treated the same way as any other customer that is outside the City. That is an equity issue that is a concern that we have tried to talk to you about. What the impact would be if we came back and recognized that impact to the individual who lives inside the MUD or water district as they relate to somebody outside the city as far as their water and wastewater bill and see if we could talk to Council about changing that rate structure and making that cost of service equitable to the individual outside the city regardless of the location. To do that we analyze would be increasing rates for wholesale customers... MUD's and water districts based upon the old rate structure by CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 7, 1981 102% and then translating that back into a rate consistent with the elimination of the declining block rate for wholesale customers only. This type of relationship is present in other cities, such as San Antonio and Dallas. The impact financially to the utility if we did this would be a reduction in revenue of about $251,000 for this fiscal year. The way to handle that would be to have the utility absorb that increase in expenditure or to come back and cycle through the rate structure and have a slight increase back to both the wholesale customers and the existing city customers. That is one option we have to handle it and we would like to have some feedback from Council on what their feelings are on dealing with the wholesale/retail issue for out of city customers that live inside of water districts and MUD's. There is an equity issue in treating customers as equally as possible regardless of whether they reside outside of the City. We can come back to Council with a special rate for wholesale customers only and then we would talk to you either about a reduction in our operating costs for this year or possible the alternative of a rate increase both for wholesale customers and all other customers which would amount to 5/10 to 6/10% rate increase if Council wishes to pursue and address the equity issue." ... Councilmember Mullen said he is in favor of being equitable. Mr. Bulloch said an ordinance needs to be brought back to Council for their consideration. FLOOD ACQUISITION PROGRAM Mr. Joe Morahan, Director of Property Management, reported on the Flood Acquisition Program. He said negotiations for property will be conducted next week and brought back to Council for approval. He said the acquisition does not fit into the norm, so they have asked the City Attorney whether the City pays for the homes in their present condition or how they were before the flood. Discussion followed. Mr. Albert DeLaRosa, Acting City Attorney, said the purpose of the acquisition is to improve the creek bed and not buy houses that are flooded. Mr. Morahan pointed out that replacement value could depend on whether or not restoration has taken place. It may be that some have not restored their homes because the City is thinking of acquiring the house. Mr. Morahan went on to say there are several problems, for example, what about houses that are destroyed but have mortgage balance and other unusual cases. SALE OF SURPLUS CITY-OWNED PROPERTY Mr. Joe Morahan, Director of Property Management, reported as follows on Sale of Surplus City-Owned Real Property: "This is submitted as an informational report in accordance with City Council policy and is requested for presentation as a City Manager Report at the City Council meeting October 7, 1981. "The two parcels of City-owned real property described below an in the attached exhibits have been determined to be surplus to the needs of the City and available for sale: CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS October 7, 1981 Parcel No. Location Planning Commission Approval Date M-30 701 Herndon Lane September 8, 1981 P-103 North Lamar Boulevard at West 25th Street September 22, 1981 "The Planning Commission approval on No. M-30 was to sell by public sealed bids. The Commission's approval on No. P-103 is conditioned on the filing of an application for zoning and rollback from "B" Residence, 5th Height and Area, to "B" Residence, 1st Height and Area, which is being initiated by the Planning Department. "Parcel No. M-30 was acquired in 1979 for the purpose of establishing a house for multiply-handicapped persons but the property was not used for that purpose. The purchase price was $37,900.00, which came from HCD Block Grant Funds. "Parcel No. P-103 was acquired by three separate deeds in 1966 for right-of-way and general purposes but is no longer needed except for the right-of-way reservation as indicated. The purchase price(s) totaled approximately $165,000.00, which came from the General Fund. "Unlessthe City Council wishes to delay or modify either of these parcels, we will plan to offer them for sale by public sealed bids after appraisals and other preparations have been completed, probably within 90 to 120 days. Proceeds from the sales will go back to the original purchase funds. "This is an informational report so no action by the City Council is necessary unless it has questions or wishes to take specific action on either parcel."
