It is my understanding this was referred to the Electrical Board for their action since the proposed fee schedule would be levied against the electrical contractor prior to an electrical service connection being made. Pursuant to the Council's request, this was an agenda item Wednesday evening October 21, 1981, at a called meeting of the Electrical Board of Appeals. Mr. H.L. Peterson and Mr. Chester Falk from Electric Distribution were present to explain the fee schedule and the method of implementation. After a rather lengthy discussion by the master electricians present who were all in opposition to this fee being charged to their craft, the Electrical Board by a vote of 5 to 0 (myself as chairman did not vote) recommends the Council shift the payment of this fee to the building owner. In the event the City Council shifts the responsibility for payment to the building owner, it would be well to postpone implementation for a short period of time to permit the mechanics of collecting this fee to be reviewed by Electric Distribution.

Only then did people begin to give serious consideration to alternate sources of energy. Conservation is an essential source of energy and it has become one of our most important energy sources. Conservation is often the cleanest, quickest, and cheapest way to react to our energy problems and the inevitable higher energy costs. Many people have continued to ignore or belittle energy conservation, however there are people and organizations in the Austin community that do care and do deserve recognition for their achievement in reducing their energy consumption. Therefore the Energy Conservation Commission takes great pleasure in recommending three candidates for the Energy Conservative award." October 28, 1981 =CITY OF AUSTIN. TEXAS Mayor McClellan then presented the awards and spoke as follows: ... IBM AUSTIN ENERGY PROGRAM AUSTIN, Texas A solar system, computers and employees have enabled IBM to triple its energy efficiency during the last decade at its Austin manufacturing and development facilities. The conservation program today is saving enough energy each year to supply the annual consumption of more than 4,000 average-sized Austin homes. In 1972, when IBM announced a corporate commitment to energy conservation, the Austin facility was consuming nearly 400,000 BTUs per square foot annually. By 1981, a myriad of energy-saving actions had dropped consumption at IBM Austin to less than 150,000 BTUs per square foot annually. As a result, even though IBM more than doubled its owned and leased space in the Texas capital between 1972 and 1980, total energy consumption dropped 18 percent. Robert K. Moeser, IBM Austin general manager, said the conservation program has saved the company more than $18 million through cost avoidance since 1972. TRAVIS COUNTY EXTENSION ENERGY COMMITTEE The Travis County Extension Energy Committee, organized in January, 1981, has accomplished a great deal with its all volunteer organization. The organization has originated a seminar series; an AISD Science Fair Energy Award; an Energy Conservation News Column; an Energy Speakers Bureau with thirty-five speakers; and air infiltration detection parties for twenty-one informal groups of neighbors and friends. The efforts of the Energy Committee are directed toward conserving nearly every type of energy resource consumed by the community. October 28, 1981 CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS MR. AND MRS. ALBERT RECK Mr. and Mrs. Reck have built an energy efficient home that is designed to demonstrate energy conservation. It is a convective loop house using ninety feet of 15" pipe buried at eight feet and drawing the air through 80 tons of rocks; thus cooling or heating the home to 70°. This house, with attached 464 square feet of greenhouse, can support a family of five with fresh vegetables the year round. The recycling of the gray water allows the use of the water in the summer garden and orchard. This is a completely passive solar home with no air conditioner or furnace. They expect their monthly utilities to be less than $20,00 per month. It is with great pleasure that the Energy Conservation Commission recommends Conservation Awards for these worthy conservers of energy. Mr. Leon Barish, chairman, Renewable Energy Resources Commission, reported as follows to the Council: At its regular meeting on October 19, 1981, the Renewable Energy Resources Commission received from the Electric Utility Department Volume II of the Conservation and Renewable Energy Resources Study. We are pleased to report that the Department has made some significant findings in this phase of the Study which can provide the basis for Austin's Commitment to conservation and renewable resources as a substantial source of energy during the next decade. In particular, the Department has estimated that conservation and renewable energy resources in the residential sector alone can reduce demand in the system by 200 megawatts. Adding applications of these resources in the commercial and industrial sector, the Commission believes that almost 500 megawatts of capacity can be "added" to Austin's electric utility system at a fraction of the cost of a conventional generating plant. On October 22, 1981, the Commission will hold a press conference to announce the findings of this phase of the study and its general assessment of Volume II. On October 26, 1981, the Commission will meet to consider the specific recommendations for action in Volume II and will report to you on October 28, 1981 as to which recommendations warrant your immediate attention. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS- October 28, 1981 Councilmember Goodman recommended no action be taken today. Mr. Hancock, Director, Electric Utility, told Council that the fee shall be paid by the owner, contractor, or electrical contractor. He said it would be difficult to explain it to the owner at the time they turn on the electricity. He said they feel it is better for the electrical contractor or the building contractor to pay the fee. Councilmember Deuser asked for an item for action on tomorrow's agenda because the City is losing $100,000 a month by not charging the fee. CITY ZONING ORDINANCE David Bodenman, Planning Commission, discussed a report he had given to Council concerning recommendations regarding revision of the City Zoning Ordinance. CITY CLERK DID NOT RECEIVE A COPY. After a discussion of zoning roll back the Mayor asked for a report of the process written out where the owner objects to the roll back. INTERIM CENTRAL TEXAS MEDICAL FOUNDATION CONTRACT Mr. Spurck, Administrator, Brackenridge Hospital, told Council that Hospital Board met in an Emergency Session on October 23 and adopted the following resolution by the Hospital Board: Resolution (Hospital Board) The Hospital Board requests that the City Council temporarily allow CTMF to increase their monthly draw from their $1.2 million budget from $100,000 per month to $150,000 per month for the next 90-day period retroactive to October 1, 1981. Realizing the decided asset that CTMF represents for this facility and the continued support by the medical community, during the next 90-day period, the Hospital Board will work diligently with the CTMF Board in order to review organizational complement that would allow CTMF to operate within that 1.2 million budget for FY 81-82.
