ROBERTSON HILL FUND Paula Phillips presented the City Manager report on the Robertson Hill Fund of $523,135. "In November, 1983, the Council approved a spending strategy for Robertson Hill and allocated $523,135 for the following activities: land acquisition for future housing developments, $150,000; land acquisition for expansion of Lott Park, $30,000; commercial business development, $300,000; and other innovative uses was $43,000. Since that time, several of the activities have been moving forward trying to find ways for implementation. We have run into brick walls on some of them, for example in the area of commercial business development we have too many absentee owners to have it work the way it was designed. We are bringing to you today the results of the Robertson Hill steering committee as well as staff work. Miss Haines will relate to you the details." Miss Haines reported: "There is one basic difference between staff recommendation and Robertson Hill steering committee. The committee has recommended that all of the money, save $100,000 be used for the construction of rental housing in the Robertson Hill area. We agreed with that portion of their recommendation. $100,000 that the Committee has recommended for the renovation of the Emma Lee house and center is a community center located on Angelina Street in the Robertson neighborhood, we do not agree with for the following reasons. We have asked for a budget that details exactly Council Memo 8 ROBERTSON HILL - (Continued) 3/21/85 how the money allocated for the renovation is to be used and we have not had an opportunity to analyze the budget request. Secondly, there is & problem with parking for the community center. This is a house located in a residential neighborhood on a residential street with no parking available except on the street. There is not adequate money for acquiring land for parking. We do not know if we have a willing seller of property.....Third, we have not recommended this project because it is in a neighborhood where there is already quite a bit of meeting space. The facility is literally right around the corner from the Carver Branch Library. There is also the Blacklands Neighborhood Center, the Rosewood-Zaragosa Neighborhood Center, the East Austin Multi-Purpose Center in the general area and the City is also building a training facility and a cultural arts facility approximately one mile from the neighborhood. Those are the reasons the staff has not recommended the allocation for renovation of the center. We recommend the $523,000 remaining be used for the construction of housing for Robertson Hill." Robertson Hiil steering committee member James D. Hamilton stated they also want the lot across the street from the newly proposed recreation center for parking and a community garden. After several other people spoke the following motion was made: Motion The Council, on Councilmember Urdy's motion, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino's second, adopted a resolution reallocating $423,135 for low and moderate income housing in the Robertson Hill Fund and $100,000 to renovate the house for another neighborhood center, contingent upon contract negotiations and required clearance for those activities. (6-0 Vote, Councilmember Spaeth absent) HAZARDOUS MATERIALS TRANSPORTATION Ms. Maureen McReynolds, Director, Office Environmental Resource Management, presented the City Manager Report on Hazardous Materials Transportation, by use of a map to show proposed routes. McReynolds recommended transporting of hazardous materials on IH 35 between highways 290 and 71; and Loop 360 between highways 183 and 290 should be prohibited. She stated, "We cannot prohibit hazardous material transportation through the City," and recommended her report be given to Urban Transportation, Environmental Board, and several interested groups. UPPER WILLIAMSON CREEK AREA Mr. Howard Kells appeared before Council to discuss Upper Williamson Creek Area by use of slides. C Council Memo 9 3/21/85 TRANSPORTATION PLANNING Ms. Barbara Hankins appeared before Council to discuss citizen involvement in transportation planning. She said she is president of West Austin Neighborhood Group and they are concerned with the 1st/3rd Street corridor and want a task force. CITIZENS TASK FORCE ON THE DOWNTOWN EAST/WEST ARTERIAL COMMITTEE Council had before them a resolution to consider the creation of a Citizens Task Force on the Downtown East/West Arterial Committee. Mayor Mullen stated to Mayor Pro Tem Trevino: "I am going to have to abstain on this item because I own a piece of property that could be possibly affected by the Citizen's Task Force decision". Motion Councilmember Shipman made a motion, seconded by Councilmember Duncan as follows: The only way we will find the best solution for efficient ingress/egress into the central business district is to consider all the issues and questions that concern the entire area--not only traffic problems, but park, neighborhood pedestrian, recreational, and business concerns that an urban design plan would examine. I believe that the best solution will be possible only when such an overall urban design plan has been established and agreed upon by all citizens of Austin. Therefore, I would like to propose that the City of Austin initiate an urban design study of the entire corridor from Town Lake to 6th Street. The CIP project under which the contract we let for the first study in December specifically states that it is to be a study of traffic needs from 6th Street to the Colorado River. The goal of the urban design study is to produce a comprehensive urban design plan for the designated area, it would include short and long range strategies for providing transportation for downtown Austin. The current engineering study would need to be delayed until the solution is found and the consensus is achieved. All work should take place in close cooperation with the newly appointed East/West Thoroughfare Committee and the suggested representation on the Committee would be to include the YMCA, the West Austin Youth Association, Old West Austin Neighborhood, the West Austin Neighborhood, East Town Lake Citizens, Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the Humane Society, the Austin High School, and representatives from the Planning Commission, the Urban Transportation Commission, and Parks Board. Mayor Pro Tem Trevino asked if this task force would look at. the East/West from 6th Street to Town Lake. Councilmember Shipman said they would.and from the Expressway to MoPac. : Council Memo COMMITTEE - (Continued) 10 3/21/85 Friendly Amendment Councilmember Rose offered a friendly amendment that the task force be 13 members so that it will include one member from the Downtown Partners and one member from the Austin Chamber of Commerce. Councilmembers Shipman and Duncan accepted the friendly amendment. Councilmember Urdy asked why Councilmember Shipman wants to limit the corridor to 6th Street to the north. She answered it is because that is the CIP. Councilmember Urdy thinks Council should look beyond that. After further discussion the roll was called. Roll Call on Motion with Amendment 5-0 Vote, Mayor Mullen abstained and was not present in Council Chamber, Councilmember Spaeth absent. COMMUNITY EDUCATION CONSORTIUM The Council, on Councilmember Urdy's motion, Mayor Pro Tem Trevino's second, adopted a resolution designating the following entities to represent the City on the Community Education Consortium: 8. Parks and Recreation Board b. League of Women Voters c. Chamber of Commerce d. Austin Neighborhood Council (5-0 Vote, Mayor Mullen out of the room, Councilmember Spaeth absent) RECESS: Council recessed its meeting from 3:07 until 3:45 p.m. WAIVER OF PAYMENT OF FEES Mr. Terral Smith appeared before Council to request an amendment to Section 8-7-102 to waive the payment of permit fees on vehicles authorized until such vehicles are actually placed in service. Allen Brecher, Director of Urban Transportation, discussed the proposed ordinance changes. Council directed the City Manager to direct the City Attorney to bring back an ordinance on March 28, 1985. PHOTOCOPYING COSTS TO PUBLIC Mr. Roger Baker Jr. appeared before Council to request that City Council Memo PHOTOCOPIES - (Continued) 11 3/21/85 comply with the act which applies to the State Open Records Act, V.T.C.8. 6252-17A as it applies to photocopying cost charged to the public. Councilmember Shipman asked the City Clerk to assess cost of reproduction. Mr. Aldridge inquired whether the cost of the employee's tine in research should be included in the cost. She said it should be. He also noted, when asked by Mayor Mullen, that the cost of reproducing copies in the City Clerk's office had not been increased for ten years. ZONING REQUEST Ms. Lucille Chapman appeared before Council to request their consideration regarding zoning of property on North Lamar. She said. she is being limited to one LUE and does not want that put on the map because some day the property will be developed and it warrants more water and wastewater than that which would be allotted to 1 LUE. Andrew Martin, Assistant City Attorney, told her the plat note is limited to one LUE until such time as the owner needs more. Ron Bond, Water and Wastewater Department, of water and wastewater taps at present. discussed the shortage Council informed Ms. Chapman that no changes can be made at this time but at the time of development she can apply for more. WEST BULL CREEK WATER SYSTEM DEVELOPER PARTICIPATION AGREEMENT Councilmember Rose introduced an item to Council to consider an amendment to West Bull Creek Water System Developer Participation Agreement. He asked they be allowed to go from a 36" to 48" pipe at their own expense, from Spicewood Springs to the end of Forest Ridge. Ron Bond, Water and Wastewater Department, said this would be all right with his department. Motion The Council, on Councilmember Rose's motion, Councilmember Urdy's second, approved an amendment to the West Bull Creek Water System Developer Participation Agreement for developers to construct, at their own cost, a 48" line rather than a 36" line. (6-0 Vote) Council Memo ZONING POSTPONED 12 3/21/85 The zoning hearing scheduled for 4 p.m. on the following case was postponed until April 11, 1985 at 3:30 p.m. C14-84 DANIEL WIMMER II 464 By John Bolt Harris 12201 & 12202 Tanglewood Drive From "SR" 1st H&A (RR) To "SR-1" RECOMMENDED subject to a written agreement prior to City Council hearing.

(5-0 Vote, Councilmember Urdy out of the room, Councilmember Spaeth absent) Council Memo LEGAL COUNSEL - (Continued) 13 3/21/85 * Mr. Paul Isham, City Attorney, said the City and LCRA thought it would be best to have one law firm to represent them. The fees will be shared by the two entities and Mr. Darrel Bristow, one of the partners in the firm will be the principal lawyer working on this case for both entities. Mayor Mullen stated, "I think it is important that the public knows that Mr. Bristow disclosed to us that his firm is representing the off shore drilling subsidiary of Brown and Root in a case with several oil companies. This case is not a part of the South Texas Project or any of its partners and does not present a legal conflict of interest that would prevent Mr. Bristow and his firm fron representing the City and LCRA in this matter, according to our City Attorney. I want the record to show we are aware of that and our City Attorney says there will be no problem."

CONTINUE TO APRIL 11, 1985 AT 5 P.M. end of February I The Councilmember Rose stated, "Up until the was the president of Texas Association of Homes for the Aging.
