Austin Expands: Land, Parks, and Utility Fees

Thursday, June 20, 1985 regular
  • Massive Land Expansion and Utility Growth:

    The city moved forward with annexing thousands of acres across Travis and Bastrop counties, alongside expanding water and wastewater service to major new development tracts like Upper Williamson Creek.
  • Utility Rate Hike & Infrastructure Boost:

    Electric hook-up fees were significantly increased—the first adjustment since 1983—to better cover costs. Millions were also committed to vital capital improvements, including storm sewer upgrades and street paving.
  • Zilker Park Easement & Development Scrutiny:

    An ordinance passed to dedicate a public utility easement through a portion of Zilker Park. Separately, a commercial zoning approval for the William Cannon area included strict conditions to mitigate neighborhood impacts, and discussions began for a potential development moratorium in the Rainey Street area.
  • Community Service Leases Approved:

    The city secured long-term lease options for crucial non-profits, including Peoples Community Clinic, Austin Rape Crisis Center, and CEDEN.

"I think I could accept the option being set for a stated period but I don't want to get into setting the actual terms of the lease now. We don't know if that would fit and we might not be able to amortize any building on that time frame and it really should be dealt with as you write the actual lease and bring it back to the Council." Mayor Cooksey asked, "Is this situation one in which we are simply approving the option at this point, only?" He was told that is correct by Jonathan Davis, Deputy City Attorney. Mayor, Cooksey. clarified, "Our option that we are granting is to enter into this specific lease agreement as has been attached to the option." Ramon Miguez stated, "As it is presently written it is for 25 years with three five year extensions." Mayor Cooksey said, "What Mr. Humphrey is asking is for only one five year extension instead of three." Councilmember Rose asked, "Is it written as a one year or a two year option?" Mr. Miguez said it is a two year option. Mayor Cooksey stated, "It is presently written as a two year option with a 25 year term and three five year extensions or options to extend." Councilmember Rose said he would like to stick with the two years to give adequate time to raise the money. Friendly Amendment Withdrawn Councilmember Humphrey withdrew his friendly amendment.
