Jim Duncan, OLDS, told them the earliest staff would be able to study this would be August, 1985. Jeff Friedman asked that there be no moratorium, as did Paul Scoffield. Miguel Guerrero, who represents two clients, asked that they not be included in a moratorium as their zoning process has begun.. After discussion, Councilmember Rose stated, "I don't think we would accomplish much by having a moratorium." Councilmember Shipman, said the key is to move forward with the planning process.. Council, therefore, made no motion. RFP FOR MANAGEMENT OPTIONS OF BRACKENRIDGE HOSPITAL Council had before them a resolution to consider approving an RFP for management options of Brackenridge Hospital. Councilmember Duncan stated "There has been a request from Mr. Peter Fears that we look at Page 4, Paragraph 2 of the RFP. The current RFP says: It is the desire of the City that changes in wages, fringe benefits, hours, personnel policies and conditions of work of current employees of Brackenridge Hospital, shall be minimal. We've had a request that that be changed to read: It is the desire of the City that wages, fringe benefits, hours, personnel policies and conditions of work of current employees of Brackenridge Hospital shall not be diminished. The question is, in our original discussion on the RFP the Council stated its intent that we did not want any of the current employees wages and benefits, etc., to be decreased. I don't think there is a problem with the wages and fringe benefits. There has been concern raised about personnel policies and conditions of work in the future if Brackenridge Hospital is actually not part of the City and does part of the City personnel policies." Mr. Carrasco, City Manager, stated, "In sending out the RFP we need to allow some flexibility for future changes and circumstances so that firms interested in proposing don't feel like no change is possible. Even if the change they propose is not acceptable to you, for whatever reason, I think we need to provide the opportunity for presenting ideas and concepts we can at least contemplate. If modifications are required we can do that at that time, but not do that on the front end. If the concern of the Council is any adverse impact on current salaries and benefits for existing employees, that Council Memo 9 2/14/85 can be worded so that the impact can be focused on that one issue and not relayed to future personnel policies and other conditions you might want some flexibility on. You can add a sentence to the wording we have now and in effect say that the City would want to discourage any adverse impact on current benefits and wages of existing employees. "If the concern is over current salaries and benefits, that should be separated from the rest of the statement but still allow the City some flexibility so proposers can come in with a concept, if the City does not feel comfortable with it, that can be modified. But, in effect, discourage changes in current wages and benefits for existing employees at the hospital. Word it so it discourages adverse impacts on salaries and benefits." .... I Peter Fears told Council there have been many segments during the whole consideration concerning the welfare of employees. He said the"medical staff of the hospital communicated in December to all of the employees that they unanimously passed a resolution asking that not only when the Council consider a lease, that wages, benefits and policies be maintained, but they should also be improved. do. think personnel policies are an important issue." Mr. Fears cited.. conditions of safety as it affect work and said if the proposer does not intend to keep conditions of work at the hospital with regard to safety, they need to be specific in that regard as well as others. Mr. Fears said Council should state up front what their intentions and preferences are and if the proposer wants to do something different they have the complete flexibility to do so, but tell the Council up front what the deviations would be. Mr. Fears said something else to be aware of is the question of proposers establishing trust funds for indigent care. Councilmember Duncan stated: "Let me suggest the following two statements and break it up in two sentences: 1. 2. It is the desire of the City that wages, fringe benefits and hours of current employees of Brackenridge Hospital shall not be diminished. It is the desire of the City that any changes in personnel policies and conditions of work of current employees of Brackenridge Hospital shall be minimal and shall be explicitly stated. Mayor Mullen questioned hours because he said perhaps instead of working hours overtime, more employees can be hired. Councilmember Duncan said, "All right, why don't we shift hours .... that any changes shall be minimal and Mayor Mullen said, "Leave out the to the second statement shall be explicitly stated." minimal." Discussion followed. Council Memo 10 2/14/85 City Manager said, "What if we start out that portion of the RFP by saying, 'The City of Austin would welcome any concepts with respect to any of these topics. It is the desire of the City, however, that any changes in any of these areas shall be minimal." Motion The Council, on Councilmember Duncan's motion, Mayor Mullen's second, adopted a resolution approving an RFP for management options of Brackenridge Hospital with the following changes: (7-0 Vote) 1. It is the desire of the City that wages and fringe benefits of current employees of Brackenridge Hospital shall not be diminished. 2. It is the desire of the City that any changes in hours, personnel policies and conditions of work of current employees of Brackenridge Hospital shall be minimal and shall be explicitly stated. RIVER PLACE MUD POSTPONED Consideration of a request for out-of-district service by the River Place MUD will be placed on the February 21, 1985 agenda. CONSUMER ADVICE DISCUSSED Dr. Lawrence Cranberg appeared before Council to discuss City-sponsored consumer advice and the potential for the use of wood energy in Central Texas. SALVATION ARMY SITE DISCUSSED Gary Williams Evans appeared before Council to discuss proposed construction of Salvation Army facilities on South Congress. He said the transients are already infiltrating their neighborhood and making an uncomfortable and unsafe atmosphere for them. He asked Council to authorize a social and environmental study before allowing the Salvation Army to build and to delay approval of the building permit. PUBLIC HEARING - APACHE SHORES UTILITY CORPORATION Mayor Mullen opened the public hearing set for 3:00 p.m. to consider rate request by the Apache Shores Utility Corporation. Walter Morgan appeared before Council and asked them to approve. Council Memo APACHE SHORES - 11 (Continued) Motion 2/14/85 The Council, on Councilmember Rose's motion, Councilmember Urdy's second, closed the public hearing and approved the rate request by the Apache Shores Utility Corporation. (7-0 Vote) EXECUTIVE SESSION Mayor Mullen announced Council will go into Executive Session pursuant to Article 6252-17, Texas Revised Civil Statutes Annotated, to discuss the following matters; and action, if any, on the matters will be taken during the public meeting after the conclusion of the Executive Session: a. Board and Commission Appointments Paragraph g. b. - Section 2, Pending Litigation, including but not limited to the following items Section 2, Paragraph e.

RECESS Council recessed for Executive Session at 3:05 p.m. and resumed its recessed meeting at 3:50 p.m. Mayor Mullen announced no action would be taken as a result of the Executive Session and asked Mayor Pro Tem Trevino to take the Chair. Mayor Mullen then left, due to illness, for the remainder of the meeting. ITEM POSTPONED Ms. Barbara Misley's request for a City waiver of specific building code restrictions as they apply to portable buildings was postponed until February 21, 1985. SALVATION ARMY SITE Ms. Eileen Rovira appeared before Council to request them to prevail upon the Salvation Army to reconsider their planned move and to make an in-depth study of encouraging vagrants into the City. Council Memo LICENSE AGREEMENT 12 2/14/85 The Council, on Councilmember Duncan's motion, Councilmember Rose's second, approved in concept the staff recommendation on Mr. Martin Camp's request for a License Agreement for air and subsurface rights, waiver of licensing fees for use of such rights on the Athenium Project; this is to be brought back in six weeks and appropriate amendments to the 90 Day Review Ordinance. (6-0, Mayor Mullen absent) TRAFFIC CONGESTION MOPAC & 183 Mr. Harold Wettig appeared before Council to request engineers to look at traffic congestion which is creating safety hazards on the MOPAC (Loop 1) and 183 intersection. Council instructed the City Manager to have traffic engineers look at this and make immediate safety improvements and work with the Highway Department. Staff is to report back to Council on February 28, 1985. RECESS Council recessed its meeting at 4:15 p.m. and resumed its recessed meeting at 5 p.m. PUBLIC HEARING - NORTHWEST AREA AMENDMENTS TO ROADWAY PLAN Mayor Pro Tem Trevino opened the public hearing set for 5:00 p.m. on Northwest Area Amendments to the Austin Metropolitan Area Roadway Plan. Norman Standerfer, Growth Management Department, introduced Mike Aulick, Transportation Planner, who presented the basics of the amendments to the previous Northwest Growth Area Plan. Mike Aulick, by means of tables and maps, reviewed & showed what is currently adopted in the Roadway Plan for the northwest area, and what is being recommended through amendments. Jerry Harris, representing 3-M concerning their plant site on 2222, said their major concern of the proposed plan is that they were told the City would need an additional 50' of right-of-way so that 2222 in that area could be a width of 200' and were advised the plan would be a five lane undivided highway. 3-M laid out a site in terms of that roadway plan. Any additional right-of-way, the way the site is laid out, would be difficult to meet the needs of the company. Mr. Harris said he wanted to express that concern and let staff know they will work with them on that particular issue, "because it would be devastating to site as laid out & carefully designed for that particular tract of land". Council Memo 13 2/14/85 HEARING - (Continued) Bill Wittenberg, Balcones Civic Association, said a good part of the plan is for roads being developed around their neighborhood as major arterials so in the future they will carry the traffic that will be generated by additional traffic in the northwest area. Their concern is the internal roads in their neighborhood and discussed a map they handed out re Mesa Drive and Far West Boulevard. He said they are really neighborhood collector streets and should be downgraded for use in the plan. Mr. Wittenberg said they are also asking that Spicewood Springs Road, which is an arterial and is appropriate as an arterial, be downgraded in the section between Mesa to Loop 360. It is currently in the roadway plan as six lanes which is incompatible with arterial 8 and the rest of the road which is planned for four lanes. The section, he said, was funded in the CIP as four lanes. Gary McKenzie and Paula Tass, also members of Balcones Civic Association, elaborated on the same theme. David Armbrust, representing Kallestad Labs, said they have a pending PDA application. Mr. Armbrust said they have the same concerns as expressed by Mr. Harris concerning 3-M. "We support the upgrading of 2222 but we question the 300' right-of-way which has been proposed for that roadway. We have been working with the staff for several months and told to respect a 200' right-of-way and that is what we have done on our site plan. An additional amount of rightof-way would render this site plan unusable and useless for the purposes of this PDA. We have a very serious concern about the right-of-way that is being proposed." Earl Broussard, representing Wood Associates, said they have 1,753 acres between Quinlan Park and River Place Boulevard. He pointed out two recommendations on the map and said one of the proposed roads goes through a nicely formed escarpment facing the river. Mr. Broussard said they agree to a four lane undivided road connecting River Place and Quinlan Park but not through the piece of land which would be ruined. Chuck Munson presented a hand-out to Council concerning the extension of Parmer Lane beyond 620 and the Brushy Creek Road area. They propose a route of Parmer Lane which will avoid Breakway Park and the Whippoorwill Acres areas. Their proposal will avoid a dam and reservoir and connect with 1431 in a way compatible to any future extension. David Elliott, who lives off of Mesa between Far West and Spicewood Springs Road is opposed to Far West being anything other than a collector type roadway for the neighborhood and opposed to anything on Spicewood to 360 which would increase the cross traffic flow on Mesa. Erica Mittag, Whippoorwill Acres, spoke in opposition to a six lane highway going through her residential area. Council Memo HEARING 14 2/14/85 - (Continued) Walter Yates, developer of Breakaway Park which adjoins Whippoorwill Acres, said all lots are sold and will be built upon. Parmer Lane, as proposed by Mr. Munson, the Walsh family and the Wupperman's would solve their problem and not go through the residential area. The road as proposed by the amendments to the Roadway Plan would destroy 17 or 18 homes. Ron Wood, County Commissioner, Precinct 1 in Williamson County, Texas. "I want to go on record as saying I am in total accord with these people. I am not for destroying a neighborhood. The alternate route, to me, is the route we should take. I can secure almost all of that right-of-way and right-of-way on beyond 1431 would be donated to the County. So I want to go on record as supporting this and am totally opposed to destroying a neighborhood." Cindy Sedesma said if the route proposed is approved, her house would be destroyed, as the road would go right through her property. Andrea Brewer also spoke in opposition to the extension of Parmer Lane through her neighborhood. Scott Roberts, representing NPC for Davis Springs MUD, discussed the land plan approved by the City of Austin. He said any platting they do in the area will be compatible to either alignment of Parmer Lane. Ann Seaman, member of the Wupperman family right next to Breakaway Park, said they agree to giving right of way for Parmer Lane. Mike Weaver, Traffic Consultants, Inc., discussed the issues and concerns of their clients in several parts of town. Dave Williams, Cunningham-Graves Engineers, Inc., representing Will Wilson, said they support the Austin Roadway Plan study for Parmer Lane which continues through Davis Spring MUD, through the Avery property and intersects Brushy Creek Road, then enters Mr. Wilson's property. Mr. Williams said Mr. Wilson is prepared to dedicate as much of his property as he can for the alignment proposed by the Austin Roadway Plan. Tom Wolfe, resident of Glen Lake, discussed City Park Road, and its effect on watersheds. James Watson, engineer for Mr. Munson, said he drew the "alternate to the east plan" for Parmer Lane and spoke in favor of it. John Avery, representing his family's ranching interests in Williamson County, said their property is north of NPC Davis Springs MUD and south of Breakaway Park. He said the proposed alignment of Parmer Lane, as it leaves 620 would go upstream of the dam. As Council Memo HEARING - (Continued) 15 2/14/85 Mr. Avery said they support the current plan of Howard Lane and Parmer Lane and are willing and able to donate the necessary rightof-way for the proposed configuration as supported by the staff. Mike Guerrero, representing Will Wilson, said they are in support of staff recommendation. Carol Griffin, Breakaway Park, asked Council to have the road re-routed. Will Wilson would like to see staff's recommendation of alignment. He said he will donate two miles of right-of-way. Ron Cantrell, who owns property north of the Wilson property, said he favors Mr. Watson's plan. Motion Councilmember Rose made a motion to close the public hearing. Councilmember Duncan seconded the motion. (5-0 Vote, Mayor Mullen absent, Councilmember Spaeth out of the room.) Motion Councilmember Rose made a motion to adopt staff recommendation with the exception of Parmer Lane from 620 to 1431; also with the exception of 2222; motion includes deleting Far West and Mesa as arterials and downgrading them to neighborhood collectors; downgrade Spicewood Springs Road to a four lane divided arterial from Loop 360 to Mesa. Councilmember Duncan seconded the motion. Motion passed by 5-0 Vote, Mayor Mullen absent and Councilmember Spaeth out of the room. Councilmember Rose asked "that we post for action on February 28, 1985 all of the remaining issues at 3:30 p.m. I'd like to ask staff to get together with 3-M and Kallestad and come back to us with answers to the questions concerning additional right-of-way on the part of 2222 that has a freeway designation. I'd also like to ask that we look at the connection between River Place and Quinlan Park Road that was discussed; I'd like a further staff recommendation based on what we heard on the Munson-Wupperman proposal versus the Will Wilson proposal, particularly the Munson proposal as it impacts the Howard Lane. We need to answer the question on the four lanes on City Park. I'd also like to state that on the 28th, listed for action, I will also make a motion on including the outer loop to the Roadway Plan as requested by the County Commissioner's Court. I'd like to see the resolution the Commissioner's Court was asking us to pass because it is on the Highway Commission agenda soon. I don't see the need to have another public hearing. By then we can review the alternatives and you can get your decision. I think we need to make a vote then on 2222 and the remaining portions of Parmer Lane and the outer loop." Council Memo HEARING - (Continued) 16 2/14/85 Councilmember Shipman brought up the parkway issue and requested staff meet with the Highway Department and come up with specifics, if Council designates 2222 as a parkway, what specific actions would be necessary to make it happen. PUBLIC HEARING Mayor Pro Tem Trevino opened the public hearing, set for 5:00 p.m. on Inner-City Ordinance Case No. C14n-84-011 and other matters relating to the development of the Hyde Park Baptist Church. Bert Cromack, Hyde Park area, asked that this hearing be delayed one week. After some discussion amoung Councilmembers, the following motion was made: Motion The Council, on Councilmember Shipman's motion, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino's second, voted to continue the public hearing to February 21, 1985 at 4 p.m. (4-0 Vote, Councilmember Rose abstained, Mayor Mullen and Councilmember Spaeth absent) PUBLIC HEARING - CAPITOL VIEW CORRIDOR ORDINANCE Mayor Pro Tem Trevino opened the public hearing set for 5 p.m. on amendments to Chapter 13-2A of the City Code to implement Phase II of the Capitol View Corridor Ordinance. Councilmember Urdy said the people at Huston-Tillotson College do not want the view from there preserved. Lois Douglas wants the front porch view from the French Legation approved. Rick Meyer, Historic Landmark Commission wants the views preserved, as does Natalie DeBlois. Jack Cook, representing AMFCU, said they have worked out a compromise so there will be a better Capitol view. Donna Kristaponis, representing Huston-Tillotson College, read a letter from Dr. King, which opposes preservation of the view from their campus. They need money for funding. David Armbrust, representing H.C. Carter, asked for reconsideration of one Phase II corridor at West 5th and West Lynn because it is detrimental to the project they have. Council Memo 17 Motion 2/14/85 The Council, on Councilmember Shipman's motion, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino's second, closed the public hearing, waived the requirement for three readings and finally passed an ordinance approving the East 11th Street Corridor view.
