Deputy City Clerk Approved appointment of a deputy city clerk, Betty Brown, who will begin May 14, 1984. CITIZEN DID NOT APPEAR Mr. John C. Towery, who had requested to appear to discuss the need for any church to have the street in front of their edifice available for their use and with through access, did not appear. ARMADILLO EXPRESS DISCUSSED Mr. Bobby Earl Smith appeared before Council to discuss the thanked the City for providing the service. Armadillo Express. He AULT TRACT DISCUSSED Mr. John Augustine appeared before Council to discuss the H. Winston Ault Tract. He said the City has failed to provide City access and City services to the land known as the H.W. Ault tract. It is located near Parker Lane south and consists of 13 acres. The property was annexed in 1973 by the City. In 1971 the City Planning staff approved the Greenbriar Subdivision which is along Parker Lane and in doing so they allowed Parker Lane to swing away from the boundary line between that piece of property and the Ault property by the width of one city lot. It left the Ault property landlocked with no access roads, utilities or anything by the City. The Aults have been working on this problem for years and in 1982 retained Mr. Augustine's law firm to represent them with contemplation of litigation to solve the problem. They met with the Planning staff and were told all services would be provided via Wilkshire Lane if the Aults participated in its development. "Based on that the Aults agreed to participate in the construction and filed a copy of the limited development with the City Planning Department and in that agreement all City services were to be provided in the street and the Aults were to pay for one half of that. The proposed street plan developed by them was approved in 1983 but it contained no mention of the Aults participation and also contained no plans for wastewater or gas in that street." Jorge Carrasco, City Manager, stated "The understanding I have is that the request being made involves changing the procedure on approach main participation. We normally require the property being served pay the cost of the approach main and I do not see how we can make an こ Council Memo AULT TRACT - (Continued) 1 8 4/12/84 exception. I've also been informed that this particular matter is subject to litigation and we may not be in a position to go into too many additional details at this point. My recommendation is that we abide by the normal procedure and require the same cost participation we do of anyone else involved in an approach main." BERM REQUESTED Mr. James A. Holcombe appeared before Council to request support for a 15 foot berm on the northern boundary of Parmer Lane adjacent to the Northwood Subdivision for noise minimization; curbs, gutters and sidewalks for sections of Parmer Lane presently within the City limits and the commitment of any needed funds to augment those set aside in the 1981 City bond election. He said the roads being built are not the ones agreed upon & they want buffering from the noise and confusion the roads will bring. .. City Manager Carrasco told Council that the design for the facility is not yet completed and are not yet in a position to say what is required for the noise level. Councilmember Shipman said the idea is innovative and some states do do this in the design stage. She requested staff use this innovative approach in designing the road, with the Highway Department. Mr. Carrasco said they will consider that as part of the design and come back and advise what type of buffering will be most effective. EXEMPTION FROM MOCKINGBIRD HILL MORATORIUM The Council, on Councilmember Shipman's motion, Councilmember Urdy's second, approved the request of Mr. Joe Lucas for exemption from the Mockingbird Hill Building Permit Moratorium for Lots 5, 6, 7 10 & 11, Block 1, Mockingbird Hill, Section Two.

(6-0 Vote, Councilmember Duncan absent.) Prior to the vote, Councilmember Urdy read the resolution. こ Council Memo 9 4/12/84 Chamber of Commerce President Lee Cooke told Council they welcome the opportunity to work with the Council on this. Terry Davis, president, Capitol City Chamber of Commerce said they should be a part of this and also the Mexican-American Chamber of Commerce. Councilmember Urdy told him the Council is asking the Chamber of Commerce to do what they do well..attract industry into the City. He said if, in the resolution, they mention all who have had an interest in this the list would stretch from here to New York City. Mayor Pro Tem Trevino stated for the record the Mexican-American Chamber of Commerce concentrates entirely on convention and tourism as their sole scope now and would be prohibited from inclusion in the resolution. Ray Galloway appeared before Council to state he supports the resolution as it is written. PUBLIC HEARING ! SANITARY SEWER & DRAINAGE THROUGH MABEL DAVIS PARK Mayor Mullen opened the public hearing set for 2:00p.m. on dedication of a permanenet sanitary sewer and drainage easement through the northern portion of Mabel Davis Park and passage of ordinance.

Section 11-2-97 (maximum prima facie speed limit) - 30 MPH DELETE: Wheeler Street from West 32nd Street to Hemphill Park Street on the east side of Waller Creek. Laurel Lane from Speedway to Hemphill Park Street on the east side of Waller Creek. Hemphill Park Street on the west side of Waller Creek from West 30th Street to West 34th street. Hemphill Park Street on the east side of Waller Creek from West 30th Street to West 33rd Street. West 33rd Street from Speedway to Guadalupe Street. West 32nd street from Speedway to Guadalupe Street. Section 11-2-99 (b) (decrease in maximum limits) - 20 MPH ADD: Wheeler Street from west 32nd Street to Hemphill Park Street on the east side of Waller Creek. Laurel Lane from Speedway to Hemphill Park Street on the east side of Waller Creek. Hemphill Park Street on the West side of Waller Creek from West 30th Street to West 34th Street. Hemphill Park Street on the west side of Waller Creek from West 30th Street to West 33rd Street. West 33rd Street from Speedway to Guadalupe Street. West 32nd Street from Speedway to Guadalupe Street. Allan Brecher, Acting Director of Urban Transportation, told Council this hearing was requested by Roy Walker and a study has been conducted. Roy T. Walker appeared before Council to state that speed limits should be lowered because of the children and joggers in the area. Council Memo SPEED ZONES - (Continued) 11 4/12/84 Kurt Schultz showed a map of the area and requested a 20 mile per hour speed limit be imposed rather than the present 30 mph limit. Motion The Council, on Mayor Pro Tem Trevino's motion, Mayor Mullen's second, closed the public hearing. (6-0 Vote, Councilmember Duncan absent) Councilmember Shipman stated the traffic study justifies 30 mph speed limit and enforcement of that limit is needed as every one in the area is traveling faster than 30 mph. According to a memo from City Manager Jorge Carrasco, distributed to Councilmembers, "Spot speed surveys were conducted within Aldridge Place along East Hemphill Park, West Hemphill Park, West 32nd Street and West 33rd Street. These are the major streets within Aldridge Place. Spot speed surveys were not conducted along Wheeler Street, Laurel Lane, or Lipscomb Street due to their short length and very low traffic volumes. Field observations indicated that the existing prima facie speed limit of 30 mph was the appropriate speed limit for each of these three low-volume streets. Based on our most recent analysis of all data that was collected, this department has determined that the speed limit should be reduced to 25 mph on West Hemphill Park from West 30th to West 33rd Streets. This recommendation has been made due to the 85th percentile speeds that were determined from the spot speed surveys and since both streets run the length of Hemphill Park. We have further determined that the speed limits along West 32nd Street, West 33rd Street, Laurel Lane, Wheeler Street and Lipscomb Street should remain at the prima facie speed limit of 30 mph, as established in the Austin City Code." Motion The Council, on Councilmember Spaeth's motion, Mayor Mullen's second, waived the requirement for three readings and finally passed an ordinance amending Sction 11-2-99(b) (decrease in maximum limits) 25 mph: (6-0 Vote, Councilmember Duncan absent) Add: (1) Hemphill Park (West side of Waller Creek) from West 30th Street to West 34th Street. (2) Hemphill Park (East side of Waller Creek) from West 30th Street to West 33rd Street.

Mr. Lillie, Director of Planning, told Council a part time employee is nede to post signs for zoning changes and special permits. Mayor Pro Tem Trevino stated the neighborhood associations should be notified when signs are posted so they cannot come back and say they did not see the signs. Paul Harris, Austin Association of Builders, said they want signs put up in a timely fashion and are concerned about notification to applicants. Mayor Mullen said this may need to be contracted out but Mr. Lillie told him it is safer if the Planning Department does it. Dorothy Richter told Council the practice of posting signs was begun when notification by mail was not used.. Bob Leonard, Balcones Civic Association, supports the proposal and urged Council to adopt it.

(6-0 Vote, Councilmember Duncan absent.) No action taken to delte Special Permit appeal to Council. Council recessed its meeting at 7:15 & resumed its recessed meeting at 8:00 PUBLIC HEARING---COTTONMOUTH CREEK WASTEWATER PLANT Mayor Pro Tem Trevino opened the public hearing set for 5:00 p.m. on construction of a 5 MGD Wastewater Treatment Plant on Cottonmouth Creek and any other proposed treatment plant near the City's Williamson Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant and intended to serve all or a part of the Williamson Creek Service Area. Mayor Pro Tem Trevino announced Mayor Mullen has left the Chambers for the day and "even though we are not posted for action today (on this hearing) the City Attorney has suggested and given his opinion that because of some real estate negotiations in the area in which I am involved and which will be affected by any decision the Council may make, at the conclusion of the public hearing either today or a future date, that I should abstain from the discussion today, as well as from voting on a motion made about the proposed water and wastewater treatment plant. to Dr. Urdy." I turn over the podium Jorge Carrasco reviewed events of the past week. "Since the last meeting we have established a process to receive proposals on any ideas that could be used to provide for the wastewater system's additional treatment capacity. We have been receiving proposals from interested parties over the past week. We anticipate by Monday we should have received any proposals that would be made to the City. We plan to evaluate those proposals and hope we will be able to complete the evaluation in time for next Thursday's Council Meeting and have a Council Memo WASTEWATER - (Continued) 24 4/12/84 recommendation at that time. It will be a difficult time table to meet and there will be a potential for some delay but we are hoping we can neet that time line. For the public hearing I suggest Council hear from anyone that may want to present a proposal with that plan in mind." Councilmember Urdy announced Council would hear from those who might have new proposals before hearing from the public. Don Walden, representing the Bill Milburn Company, said they are here in cooperation with Nash Phillips, Copus Company to make a proposal. "There is myself; Mr. Bulloch; Mr. Tom Burke, from Turner, Collie, Braden; and Mr. Berrier from Texas Capitol Markets. Our proposal will be presented by all of us. We propose a way to increase capacity of the Williamson Creek Treatment Plant. The propsal is simple and straight forward to present service to all facilities in the service area on a fair and equal basis as quickly as possible." ...... Mr. Bill Bulloch, representing NPC, introduced Tom Burke, who gave a brief overview of the existing circumstances want Council to consider. the proposal they Mr. Burke said he had an exhibit to explain and showed charts to Council....He said on May 30th the package treatment plant now under construction at Williamson Creek will become operational. That has a capacity of 2 million gallons a day. That carries us to approximately 9 million gallons a day available before the Onion Creek Plant comes on line which is slated for July, 1986. The advertisement for bids will take place next week with a bid opening in the middle of June. That means on an average daily basis there will be about .8 million gallons a day of surplus when the Onion Creek Plant comes on line. All of this is dependent on irrigation and there is some concern that irrigation is not a year round reliable method of wastewater disposal. Therefore the joint venture that has come before you today has suggested the idea of constructing an additional package treatment plant at Williamson Creek very similar to the one that is under construction right now. That will increase the averag daily rated capacity to approximately 11 mgd, the firm reliable nonseasonal capacity to at least 8 mgd's so that provides an even greater assurance that wastewater flows can be treated at Williamson Creek until the Onion Creek plant can come on line. The proposal is we want to construct a 2,000,000 gallon per day package plant at Williamson Creek. Construction time on the plant is expected to be 90 days based on construction time for the facilities now under construction with the same capacity. The cost range is $1,700,000 to $2,300,000. It depends on the staff feelings, the Texas Department of Water Resources feelings with respect to discharge point." The financial proposal given by Mr. Berrier said the South Austin Utility Joint Venture proposes to contract the two million gallons per day Council Memo WASTEWATER (Continued) 25 4/12/84 wastewater treatment plant where upon the completion of the plant the facilities will become the possession of the City of Austin which will have the control of operation and maintenance as well. The engineering will be done by Turner, Collie, Btaden who will follow City, State and Federal EPA guideline requirements. The joint venture will provide 100% of the financing required to encompass the expansion of the treatment plant. Upon completion, capacity will be made available to all builders and developers within the service area of Williamson Creek treatment plant. There would be no preferential treatment given to all of the participants of the joint venture. In return the joint venture would be paid for the cost associated with construction of the facility as well as the interest accrued thereon by means of a capital recovery fee offset. This can be done whereby credit vouchers would be issued through the joint venture which would be presented back to the City of Austin at the time that a tap is taken by the developer to you for payment. In order for the accounting to be less cumbersome for the City of Austin this will be provided by Touche Ross and Company, one of the big firms here in Austin for the purpose of defining the credits due participants in the joint venture. They will do this on a year to year basis and would give the Accounting Department for the City of Austin or Wastewater Department full information for credits due each of the participants in the joint venture." : Don Walden summarized the proposal. He said the City gains ownership, they want no preferential treatment and no water commitments and the City will control the facility and its capacity. Ben Turner, representing Trammel Crow, said they will present a proposal by the following Monday afternoon. Bob Emory, with Enviroquip, said they plan to present a proposal next week, also. Jim Ray, Texas Commercial Investments, said he is pleased they have been a catalyst in the strong emergency the City is facing. "We don't hold ourselves to be the saviour and there is merit to several of these proposals. There is concern about what we are offering to Austin and we have a short presentation to make certain all of us understand together what we are trying to offer. We do need capacity and anyone who needs capacity will get some. Charlie Graves, Cunningham & Graves, showed slides, and said they are looking at the interim of the present and the coming on of the Onion Creek Plant. Jaryl Molander, a sanitary engineer, showed slides of the proposed location of the plant Mr. Jim Ray has proposed." Paul Harris, Austin Association of Builders, spoke about the Austin Joint Venture and said it will be available to all. Council Memo 26 4/12/84 WASTEWATER - (Continued) Mr. Collins, discussed the well, dug in the early 1900's, that is on his father's property, which is adjacent to the proposed treatment plant. He said if the proposed plant is built it will interfere with the way of life of many families. Mr. Collins then showed slides of the area. Jerolene Hubbard, told Council they have good wells in the area and do not want them contaminated. She does not want the plant if it will ruin their good way of life. H.L. Hubbard told Council the soil in the area is very porous and he knows the plant will leak and enter into the water supply. Roy Mackleroy, who is retired from the City Water and Wastewater Department and lives in the area of Cottonmouth Creek, said he does not agree with Mr. Ray's proposal. Claire Shya said she purchased land one year agon next door to the proposed site and is upset over plans for the wastewater plant next to her. Paul Beasley told Council the proposed site will only be 1/4 mile from his bedroom as he lives directly in the area. Motion The Council, on Councilmember Rose's motion, Councilmember Spaeth's second, closed the public hearing. (4-0 Vote, Councilmember Duncan and Mayor Mullen absent, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino abstained.)
