Council Memo 11 ITEM PULLED 8/16/84 Pulled from the agenda was an item introduced by Mayor Mullen and Councilmember Spaeth to consider a resolution engaging the services of an outside lawyer to represent the interests of the minority positions of the Council in the single member district litigation. SOUTH EAST AUSTIN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN The Council, on Mayor Pro Tem Trevino's motion, Councilmember Spaeth's second, adopted a resolution supporting the South East Economic Development Plan. (6-0 Vote, Councilmember Urdy absent) Prior to the voted, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino introduced the concept proposed for blue collar industry in far southeast Austin so that people who live in that area will not have to travel so far to work, and also as a means of bolstering the economy of the community. He defined the area as being Bastrop Highway, east to Lockhart and beyond the Montopolis area. Mayor Pro Tem Trevino said they are not talking about establishing anything in the neighborhoods that would disrupt the neighborhoods as they are now. Mayor Pro Tem Trevino read the resolution into the record as follows: "Whereas the far southeast portion of our City has been virtually overlooked by industry despite the fact that many unemployed citizens live in the area; and whereas low income families must be able to find jobs in these areas easily accessible from their homes; and whereas although many high-tech industries have been attracted to our City, many of our citizens are semi-skilled or unskilled and require job opportunities requiring little or no skill. Therefore be it resolved by the City Council, for the City of Austin, Texas, that we will support the far southeast economic development plan to attract clean, blue collar industry to the area......... NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN DISCUSSED Ms. Natalie de Blois, Heritage Neighborhood Association, appeared before Council to request they put into effect the Neighborhood Plan as presented to Council today and in 1981. She said investors are trying to buy property and disrupt the residential quality of their neighborhood. She asked Council to either support their plan or throw it out. ITEM PULLED Pulled from the agenda was the request of Mr. Paul Harris to approve the Milburn Company as a participant in the Agreement regarding the construction of improvements to the City of Austin's Water System in the Oak Hill area. Council Memo : 12 8/16/84 i ITEM POSTPONED Council postponed until August 30, 1984 Mr. John Joseph's request to appear before Council to ask amendment of an agreement regarding the provision of water and wastewater dated January 31, 1984 entered into between the City of Austin and Oak Hill Heights J.V. NUEVA VIDA Mr. Zeke Romo and Mr Paul Hernandez, members of EACEDC, appeared before Council to request funds for Nueva Vida. City Manager Carrasco discussed why he does not recommend the City funding the project. Transcript of all remarks are on file in the City Clerk's office. Council discussed the matter for some time before the following motion was made by Councilmember Duncan: Motion The Council, on Councilmember Duncan's motion, Councilmember Shipman's second, waived the requirement for three readings and finally passed an ordinance amending the 1983-84 Annual Operating Budget by appropriating an amount not to exceed $80,000 for a grant to EACEDC for low-to-moderate income housing as follows: (6-0 Vote, Councilmember Urdy absent) "Because the City of Austin feels that a public service has been served that Nueva Vida provides moderate income families housing and is consistent with the City of Austin's goal to increase affordable housing stock in East Austin and the project as renewed of previously economically depressed area, that we direct the City Manager to appropriate funds in the amount of $79,466.40 and that if the City Manager decides that the funds should come from the general fund that these funds be reimbursed to the general fund in that amount; that it be in the form of a grant to East Austin Chicano Economic Development Commission; that this constitutes unique circumstances and does not consitute a precedent for funding any other housing projects or particularly any that has a profit motive in mind in the inception, and that this does not constitute any type of commitment for future CDBG funds or other Federal or City monies, subject to an audit with report back by August 30, 1984." WATER & WASTEWATER APPROACH MAINS The Council, on Councilmember Duncan's motion, Mayor Mullen's second, approved Ms. Marianne Niven's request for the following water and wastewater approach mains, based on staff recommendation: (6-0 Vote, Councilmember Urdy absent) (see next page) Council Memo APPROACH MAINS - 13 (Continued) a.

(6-0 Vote, Councilmember Urdy absent.) PRESENTATION OF 1984-85 FINANCIAL PLAN City Manager Carrasco presented to Council the 1984-85 Financial Plan. He said net requirements for all funds total $901.8 million which is a 16.2% increase from Fiscal 1983-84. Components of the increase are Revenue and General Obligation, 5.9%; Utility Fuel, 3.9%; General Fund, 2.2%; Utility Operations, 1.8%; Growth Services, 1.0%; Other Funds, 1.4%.
