Parade Safety, Aquifer Protection, Growth Pains

Thursday, February 2, 1984 regular
  • Parade Scheduling Sparks Concern:

    Debates flared over same-day parade requests from the Black Citizen's Task Force and the Ku Klux Klan. Police stated they lacked sufficient officers to safely manage both events simultaneously, leading to separate scheduling.
  • Protecting Austin's Waterways:

    Addressed critical environmental issues, including neglected detention ponds at Barton Creek Square Mall, and discussed stricter creek ordinances for the Barton Springs Aquifer. Decisions also involved annexing portions of the Barton Creek Greenbelt and placing signs to identify the Edwards Aquifer.
  • Managing Rapid Urban Expansion:

    Approved significant land annexations and numerous zoning changes across the city. Concerns were raised during a discussion about a proposed Austin-San Antonio toll road, specifically regarding its potential impact on the Edwards Aquifer and existing neighborhoods.
  • Key City Initiatives:

    Advanced internal city operations by initiating a search for a new City Manager and authorizing a new child care information and referral program to support city employees.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES The Council, on Councilmember Shipman's motion, Councilmember Spaeth's second, approved the Minutes for Regular Meetings of January 19 & 26, 1984 and Special Meeting of January 21, 1984. (4-0 Vote, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino, Councilmembers Duncan and Urdy were out of the room) DETENTION PONDS AT BARTON CREEK SQUARE MALL Mr. Joe Riddell appeared before Council to discuss environmental protection in the Austin area. He said the detention ponds in the Barton Creek Square Mall area are being neglected, that an inspector from the City has been out there 23 times since June and only 1/4 of the pond has been cleaned. The filters are clogged, etc. Mr. Riddell said City environmental protection should take a firmer stand. Mayor Mullen asked staff to review & report back to Council. AMENDMENTS TO CREEK ORDINANCE Ms. Shudde Fath appeared before Council to discuss action on the proposed amendments to the creek ordinances affecting the Barton Springs Aquifer. She asked Council to vote for density controls as recommended by the Environmental Board. CITIZEN DID NOT APPEAR Mr. M.R. McHone who had requested to discuss neighborhood plans did not appear. Council Memo 2 PARADE PERMIT DISCUSSED February 2, 1984 Ms. Velma Roberts appeared before Council to discuss the City Manager's decision regarding Black Citizen's Task Force application for a parade permit. She said they want to change the time of their parade to 10:00a.m., rather than in the afternoon. They plan to march the same day as the Ku Klux Klan. Chief of Police Frank Dyson explained to her that last year the Black Citizen Task Force march had no problems. The KKK march did have. He said this year the KKK march has been changed to the morning because there is less activity in the city in the morning than in the afternoon. Also, on Saturday morning the Police Department is better staffed and the decision for the 10 a.m. time was made before the Black Citizen Task Force requested their permit. Councilmember Shipman asked why the parades cannot be at the same time. Chief Dyson stated for the record that there would not be enough police officers to protect both parades. Councilmember Shipman said that is what she wanted in the record.
