(7-0 Vote) Council Memo 13 June 30, 1983 MORATORIUM AMENDMENT The Council, on Councilmember Spaeth's motion, Mayor Mullen's second, passed through THIRD READING of an ordinance amending the moratorium on the processing of Special Permit Applications in the South Austin Infill Study Area as regards the property at Stassney Lane and Radam Circle. (4-3 Vote, Councilmembers Shipman, Urdy and Duncan voted No.) OAK HILL WATER MAIN PROJECT Council had before them an ordinance to consider amending the 1982-83 Capital Improvements Program and the 1982-83 Operating Budget by transferring $55,000 from the Water and Wastewater Utility Fund Ending Balance to the Water CIP and appropriating funds for the Abilene Trail Oak Hill Water Main Project. Councilmember Rose made the following motion: Motion - Councilmember Rose made a motion, seconded by Mayor Mullen as follows: Instruct staff to work with property owners in the area to see if there is cost participation available for that line and also the assignment of LUE's that will be available with the building of that line in that area on an equitable pro-rated basis and come back to Council with a contract for our consideration. Mr. Schwing, Director of Water and Wastewater, told Council "this is an integral part of the Oak Hill plan. It connects the 36" line that is going to the south along Convict Hill with the 24" in the easterly direction along Convict Hill. As you proceed further toward the north toward Highway 290 we pick up the line that will be built along William Cannon and then finally at 290 the existing line and then the pump station. This one portion is an inter-connector for almost all of these lines coming together. We feel we might establish a portion of this line to be committed for additional service but the true function of this line is to tie all the others together to permit waters to move back and forth in the inter-connection coming from Davis Lane and the proposed Brodie Lane pump station. I feel it would be premature to make extreme committments on this line since it is part of a system rather than a line for servicing just this particular area." Councilmember Rose said, "I do not believe my motion will inhibit you from having that type of discussion. I think that is exactly what I ask you to do. I want Council to direct staff to sit down with the property owners in that area. They have expressed a willingness to pay for this line. Any time I see a line that needs to be built and we have some people that want to pay for that line then I don't have a problem with that concept and I still think you can bring back to this Council a contract which satisfies the requirements that you have. If you want me to make it perfectly clear I can read this motion into the record or we can go from where I am." Council Memo OAK HILL - (Continued) 14 Mayor Mullen asked Councilmember Rose to clarify his motion. Motion Restated June 30, 1983 "Direct Water and Wastewater staff to meet with property owners along the proposed route who desire service, have pending requests for service and might be willing to participate in the cost and provide the following information: the total number of LUE's available to the line before and after storage is provided; the number of LUE's necessary for service improvements to existing customers and the number of LUE's available for new service; determine cost participation and allocation of LUE's in an equitable manner and bring Council a proposal back." Mr. Schwing asked if Patton Ranch should be incorporated into this line. Councilmember Rose answered affirmatively.
