Item Pulled Consideration of amending Electrical Code to provide comparable definitions for floors and stories as provided in the Building Code was pulled from the agenda. (Electrical Board approved variance for J.H.E. Johnson Jr., so there was no need for the ordinance change.) PREVAILING RATE OF WAGES Mayor McClellan, Councilmembers Duncan and Goodman introduced an item requesting the legal staff and Construction Advisory Commission to review an ordinance on determining the prevailing rate of wages to be paid on public works for the City of Austin. Councilmember Duncan said the Council has been operating under the assumption that it is required by ordinance to pay the prevailing wage which is set by the Federal government in the Bacon-Davis Act. It has been in practice but it has not been an ord- inance and he wants it to be an ordinance. (This concerns workers who work for someone awarded a contract by the City. Councilmember Goodman said historically the pre- vailing wage had been paid and no contract should be approved unless they comply. The Mayor underscored that and said they should operate under that policy beginning today. Councilmember Duncan said the Legal Department has drawn up an ordinance to be placed on the agenda for action next week and Council agreed to act on the ordinance then. CONGRESS AVENUE BEAUTIFICATION PROGRAM Mr. Ridings presented an update from staff on Congress Avenue Beautification Program including schedule, notification of merchants/business along Congress Avenue and plan for coordination with businesses in the downtown area for the duration of implementation plan. He said the contract on the project was awarded in October of this year.and prior to that the merchants were informed how the construction will proceed down the avenue. This past week the merchants have received a packet from the City reiterating the details of construction. Mr. Ridings said there is a "construction central" at the corner of 7th and Congress where people can easily receive information about the project. Mayor McClellan asked questions about the construction office which is just east of Congress on 7th. She said the merchants have complaints about its location. After discussion, Council asked that Mr. Ridings try to find a new site for the construction office and report back to Council next week. REVIEW PROCESS ADOPTED The Council, on Councilmember Mullen's motion, Councilmember Goodman's second, approved adoption of a review process for Municipal Utility District and Water Control and Improvement District Creation Petitions; requests for out of district service; and annexation petitions to municipal utility districts and water control and improvement districts. (6-0 Vote, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino absent) Council Memo 6 November 11, 1982 MUD POLICY AMENDED The Council, on Councilmember Goodman's motion, Councilmember Mullen's second, approved amending the Municipal Utility District Policy to include annexations to districts. (6-0 Vote, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino absent.) NEW MUNICIPAL COMPLEX DISCUSSED Councilmember Mullen introduced an item to discuss the promulgation of a ranking point system for the evaluation of proposals for a new municipal office complex. He asked about the proposals that have already been received. Mr. Meiszer, City Manager, said the City is under no obligation to accept any of the proposals given so far. They are not official bids because there has been no bidding process. Mr. Meiszer pointed out that the decision is whether or not to make better use of lease and rent money without incurring any further debt for space. He also said a new municipal complex would stimulate the use of space the City owns in the Central City area and get it back on the tax rolls. Councilmember Duncan said he generally agrees the City needs a new municipal office complex if they can do it without incurring additional debt. Mr. Meiszer said there will be two RFP's sent out. The first was to determine site location. The second will be for the actual design. Ideas submitted thus far are concepts. Mayor McClellan said it should go on record if the intent to proceed with the new complex is unanimous. Mayor McClellan said she wants the staff responsibilities and the Downtown Task Force responsibilities defined. Mr. Meiszer stated that the City's responsibility is technical concerning the amount of square feet in the building, the funds available and the method of obtaining funds. The Downtown Task Force will recommend location, relation to the area, height, pedestrian use and one way street system. Mr. Meiszer said the first question to be answered is, is it feasible to construct on property already owned by the City. ITEM TO BE BROUGHT BACK Councilmembers Mullen and Goodman, introduced an item to Council concerning establishing a procedure for communication between individuals associated with or representing those associated with any proposal for a new municipal complex and members of the City City Council, Downtown Revitalization Task Force and staff evaluation team. They asked that this be brought back on the November 18, 1982 agenda when the Mayor Pro Tem is present. PROPOSED CABLE RATE INCREASE Councilmembers Duncan and Deuser introduced discussion of the effect of proposed cable rate increase on company and City of Austin finances. Councilmember Duncan said he would like the legal staff to look at the implication of the increase as notified by Austin CableVision. "Under our contract we are not allowed Council Memo CABLE (Continued) 7 November 11, 1982 to set the rate but it is my understanding this could affect other aspects of our financial relationship with the company." Jack Hopper, Cable Commission, told Council, "The first franchise is granted on some level of financial performance of the company over all. About 60% of the company's revenue comes from non-regulated portion and the other part is what we have the right to regulate. The two are mixed and it does affect the right of return the company gets and that I think the City has the right to supervise. It seems to me this is sort of a first impression review. We have not had a rate request made before for any of the cable services, either those we regulate or those we don't and it seems it might be worthwhile for us to decide just what to do when we have one of these non-regulated requests come forward. We need to have a financial specialist take a look at the implications of the increase in the non regulated service on the regulated service and the over all performance of the company. .... Somewhere there is an unstated number in terms of the franchise grant of what that rate of return and performance should be and it would be worthwhile knowing what it was. It would also be worthwhile knowing how the company decided to make this number, $1.12 for each one of its services. I think the company would probably be willing to tell us what they expect the number to turn out to be in terms of total revenue increase. My figures show nearly 1½ million dollars will come in annually from this increase and I think we ought to know exactly what that is going to be and I think we want to know why the company decided on this particular number and why not some other number. Presumably the company has the right to raise the rates 100% instead of 16 or 18 like they did. ..... We are dealing with an affiliate relationship. HBO and ACT are owned by Time, Inc. so the company's justification partly is that the HBO rate has gone up. We have not yet been able to examine that affiliate's relationship. We're going to do that with the financial consultant we have." Councilmember Duncan said the financial analyist should look at the effect of the rate base, Mr. Hopper said the contract for the consultant is $4,800.00. Councilmember Goodman said, "Why don't we authorize the Manager to direct the consultant to include that in the scope of his work. If the amount exceeds $5,000 return to Council for approval. FAYETTE UNIT 3 PROJECT Mr. Peterson, Acting Director, Electric Utility, gave the City Manager report on Fayette Unit 3 Project.by use of slides and maps. (FULL REPORT IS ON FILE IN THE CITY CLERK'S OFFICE). Mr. Peterson said that based on the economic analyses conducted and consideration of other factors, the Electric Utility believes that exercising the Fayette 3 participation option will be economically favorable to Austin ratepayers. ITEM PULLED The Council postponed until December 16, 1982 consideration of authorizing the provision of water service by the Davenport Ranch Municipal Utility District to areas outside the boundaries of the Davenport Ranch. Councilmember Deuser said the Water and Wastewater Commission does not have enough information. Councilmember Council Memo PULLED (Continued) 8 November 11, 1982 Duncan said that he also wants an update on the commitment of Davenport to the Windy Cove neighborhood group because they requested those conflicts be resolved. "My understanding is that they have not been and Davenport is proceeding along with its plans and permit request and I want a review of where we are at on that." Ms. Donna Kristaponis, Assistant Director of Planning, said they have made contact with the Davenport people. "The Planning Commission is interested in knowing if the contract is enlarged to include these other areas, what that would do with the rate of expansion as far as development in the area, the other alternatives for service delivery. I think we can respond in 30 days but we will need to be able to get thorough information from the Davenport people to do that. Councilmember Mullen said, "Anytime you don't get adequate information you send a memo which the City Manager can distribute to the Council saying you requested the information on such and such a date and then we can be kept up to date." RFP'S TO BE ISSUED The Council, on Councilmember Deuser's motion, Mayor McClellan's second, adopted a resolution approving the issuance of RFP's for consultants for the Austin Cable Commission: Development and operation of the Institutional Loop; and Development of a master plan for municipal uses of cable and cable regulatory activities. (5-0 Vote, Councilmember Goodman was out of the room, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino absent.) No action was taken on the issuance of RFP's for consultants for the Austin Cable Commission for performance evaluation of Austin Cablevision.

The motion, was withdrawn and Council decided to pull from the agenda for consideration. Councilmember Mullen withdrew his motion. LATER IN THE DAY, Councilmember Deuser said Mr. Hank Gallagher said there had been a misunderstanding. "The agreement Mr. Gallagher reached with his lender was that he would still need the "GR" use but he could be covenant or restrictive use limit all future uses of that property and let that run with the title and deed to 1st height and area." Motion to Reconsider Councilmember Mullen made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Deuser, to reconsider. It was approved unanimously.

Council Memo ZONING (Continued) 10 November 11, 1982 Councilmember Mullen asked Mr. Gallagher to state for the record the conditions. Mr. Gallagher said, "I'd like to go on record as saying the trust department is willing to stipulate that also that the height will remain the same with "GR". I spoke with the president of the neighborhood association who is not concerned with this use because I am not requesting a higher height, but any time in the future and they are willing to stipulate that the current height and area shall remain the same no matter what "GR" zoning goes to at some later height and area."
