(6-0 Vote, Councilmember Urdy was out of the room.) Motion The Council, on Councilmember Duncan's motion, Mayor Mullen's second, set the date of April 12, 1984 at 4:00p.m. for the public hearing on the Lake Austin Zoning Study. (6-0 Vote, Councilmember Urdy was out of the room.) Rebekah Baines Johnson Master Plan Approved the Rebekah Baines Johnson Master Plan.

(7-0 Vote) Prior to the vote, Ted Davis appeared before Council to discuss lots he had purchased in the 1970's for single family residences. He would like water taps to develop the lots. He said there is not low water pressure in the area and the soil is receptive to septic tank systems. He said the moratorium is not appropriate. Councilmember Shipman said members of the Council have observed the septic tank failures in the area. : C FINANCING OF STNP Council had before them for consideration an ordinance to receive a report on the status of the proposed validation suit relating to the financing of the City's obligation with respect to the South Texas Nuclear Project and the status of litigation relating to the $97,000,000 bond election and consider authorizing the filing of such validation suit, consider actions relating to the continued financing of STNP obligations and any other matters or actions deemed necessary in connection with the foregoing project or the financing of the project. Lanny Sinkin, coordinator of Cancel STNP, said it was unfair to place this item on an emergency agenda. Joe Riddell said putting this on as an emergency precludes people from speaking to councilmembers concerning this. He said Council should have called an election. Councilmember Shipman asked for the bonds. Paul Isham, City Attorney, be converted to a coal operated plant, they cannot be used for anything else, airport, etc. The revenue bonds are combined utility bonds and can be used for electric or water and wastewater. an explanation of the use of stated that if the STNP should the bonds could be used. However, such as a convention center, Jorge Carrasco, Acting City Attorney, reported that City staff and legal consultants negotiated with banks to avoid an onerous rate increase for electric customers. He said a short term financing program has been put together which will enable the City to avoid the rate increase which he knows the Council is determined to avoid and that would otherwise be necessary for this action. The principal amount of the note is $120,000,000, which will be used (1) to provide an amount sufficient to refund the notes issued by the City in November of 1983, and (2) to provide the City approximately $50,000,000 of new money to meet the City's obligations under the South Texas Participation Agreement through mid-September of this year. By that time we expect that the bond validation proceeding will have been completed. "I might add, Council Memo STNP - (Continued) 10 2/23/84 that it is still imperative that the validation proceedings be vigorously pursued. You should be aware of the fact that there is a covenant that is part of the short-term financing that is a requirement of the lending banks as a condition of the short-term financing that the City shall authorize and validate such bonds. The financing plan that I am presenting to you is the best solution at this time to avoid a very onerous and unfair rate increase on our citizens and to put the City in a stronger position to effect disposition of its interest in the project. I am therefore submitting the short-term financing package to you and recommending its adoption." : Motion The Council, on Mayor Pro Tem Trevino's motion, Councilmember Rose's second, approved filing of validation suit relating to the financing of the City's obligations with respect to the South Texas Nuclear Project and the status of the litigations relating to the $97,000,000 bond election. (7-0 Vote) Motion The Council, on Councilmember Spaeth's motion, Mayor Mullen's second, waived the requirement for three readings and finally passed an ordinance authorizing the issuance of $120,000,000.00 City of Austin, Texas Combined Utility Systems Revenue Notes Series 1984, prescribing the form and terms of such notes and enacting other provisions, incident and related to the issuance, sale and delivery of such note. (6-1 Vote, Councilmember Duncan voted No.) Councilmember Duncan said he favors an election rather than short-term obligations. Mr. Carrasco told him that banks are not willing unless there is a long term guarantee. The election could fail and then there would be no guarantee. Councilmember Duncan said he has a problem with short-term issuance and cannot support it. Mayor Mullen expressed appreciation to Texas Commerce, Inter First and American Banks for guaranteeing the money needed. He warned, however, that some people want to file suit and if that happens, electric rates still may go up this summer. CITY MANAGER REPORTS Allen Brecher, Acting Director, Urban Transportation Department, outlined PROVISION OF ACCESS TO PROPERTY ALONG LOOP 1 BETWEEN R.M. 2244 AND LOOP 360. Councilmember Shipman said the City should go to the Highway Commission and asked for a report on environmental impact, and the feasibility of one side only for access of property. Council Memo REPORTS - (Continued) 11 2/23/84 Two City Manager reports were pulled from the agenda: Telecommunications Pension Fund Management Improvements ---- - Ann Bradstreet, Director of Personnel, presented the report on FLEXTRA. She referred to the memo, which is on file in the City Clerk's office. Flextra, she said, could save employees 27% as a means of deferring income tax. Mayor Mullen suggested that this should be looked at in conjunction with an employee's good health i.e. non-smokers, right weight, etc. He felt good health should be rewarded. Since no decision was made, the following contract, which was on the agenda, was not considered. ARTHUR ANDERSON & COMPANY 221 West 6th Street, Suite 2000 Austin, Texas - Consulting services for employee communication program of flexible benefits plan, Personnel Dept. Twelve month contract. Not to exceed $44,868.00. --- The TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM MANAGEMENT PLAN was discussed by Acting City Manager Carrasco. He said a bus system called the Armadillo Express is suggested between the auditorium parking lot and the Capitol complex. It will pass hotels, shops and East 6th Street, Trolleys will be used for service and "Catch a Dillo" will run every 10 minutes, Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. If the program is successful it will be expanded. Motorized trolleys and buses can be used with no additional funding. We At this point Mayor Mullen suggested Council and staff ride in the trolley which was parked outside of the Council Chamber. were taken on a short ride. When everyone returned to the Council Chamber, Mr. Carrasco said no budget amendment will be necessary because trolley cars can be leased and it will also be determined if businesses would like to contribute. Copy of the whole transportation report is on file in the City Clerk's office. Council Memo REPORTS - (Continued) 12 2/23/84 Councilmember Spaeth said this is a great step forward and pointed out Fort Worth is scrapping their trolley system and perhaps a lease can be negotiated. He said the City should use two demonstrator models from two companies for six months and determine which hold up best. Councilmember Spaeth also thinks the service should be extended to Friday and Saturday evenings. Gary Johnson, secretary of the Libertarian Party, said this is a good plan but it should be a part of the private sector. Mayor Mullen recommended Council pass everything but the financing of the trolley cars. : Motion The Council, on Councilmember Shipman's motion, Councilmember Spaeth's second, approved the Transportation System Management Plan except for the financing of trolley cars. (6-0 Vote, Councilmember Rose was out of the room.) HOUSE MOVE APPROVED Mr. Doug Nichols appeared before Council to request exemption from requirements of new City ordinance regarding inner-city development. He said he has a demolition permit to move a house off the site at 4206 Speedway but because of the ordinance he cannot move it. He said he would rather see a family use the house than destroy it. Mr. Carrasco, Acting Cit Manager, told Council staff recommends the moving of the house. Motion The Council, on Mayor Pro Tem Trevino's motion, Councilmember Spaeth's second, approved the request of Mr. Doug Nichols for exemption from requirements of new City ordinance regarding inner-city development.
