(6-0 Vote, Councilmember Carl-Mitchell absent.) BRACKENRIDGE 2000 PROJECT The Brackenridge Hospital Report on Brackenridge 2000 was presented by Mrs. Betty Himmelblau who said this is something which should begin immediately. She said bids for construction of the children's hospital should be solicited immediately, that planning efforts to meet the needs of the expanding and modernization, the emergency surgical and critical care departments be initiated. "The Brackenridge 2000 Project was proposed to include approximately 204,000 square feet of construction and renovation at a total cost of $50,000,000. The first phase-in is already underway. The children's emergi-care area is completed and provides a separate environment to insulate the children in the intense situations in a traditional emergency room. The heliport is under construction and Starflight will soon be housed adjacent to the emergency department. A phase-in approach is recommended. The next priority should be the construction of the children's hospital. The pediatric program is the center of excellence and is important to the hospital's overall future success. It represents years of planning by many different groups of people and will meet the current needs of the region with adequate expansion capability for future needs. represents an opportunity for Brackenridge to maintain a dominant position in pediatric medicine and surgery throughout the central Texas area and will serve as a magnet for a wide range of specialty services that will give Austin's children the best and most modern health care. ... ...." This City Manager Carrasco introduced the City Manager report on Brackenridge 2000 Project. He said the funding issue must be carefully thought out in order to develop the financial portion of their plans to rejuvenate the hospital and provide the kind of support in order to be successful. Mr. Carrasco said a plan was outlined last summer and he Council Memo 12 12/19/85 would like a public hearing held on the issue of funding for the near poor. They project there needs to be a supplement of between $5.3 million and $6.4 million annually in order "for us to fund the care for not only the near poor, but to make sure we deal with the issue of people who do not qualify for medical assistance and that are currently being served by the hospital. ..........." Tom Young, Director of Brackenrige Hospital, discussed the children's hospital construction. He told Council that if action is not taken promptly then other hospitals in the area will do what Brackenridge is planning to do and that will divide pediatric care in the area. Presently, Mr. Young stated, Brackenridge leads in pediatrics. Mr. Young asked Council's approval to proceed with the children's hospital as currently designed. (See further comments by Mr. Carrasco made after the following vote was taken.) Architects Motion The Council, on Councilmember Humphrey's motion, Councilmember Urdy's second, adopted a resolution approving a Supplemental Amendment to an existing Professional Services Agreement between the City of Austin and JV5/BRACKENRIDGE 2000 Architects/Engineers for professional services associated with review and revision of contract documents preparatory to receipt of bids for the Children's Hospital portion of Brackenridge 2000 project.

The second item is the recommendation that the Council consider setting a public hearing on the funding plan with respect to the care for the near poor." Mayor Cooksey said, "Before we set the hearing on the funding plan for the near poor, I would like to get a recommendation from the Hospital Board on that. Regarding the other item I personally have no problem with proceeding. Does any member of the Council have any objection to that? (No one indicated objection.) That's included in the previously passed authority to finance that through bonds. Do we need to have a resolution authorizing that in any way or is that simply something you want Council input on?" Mr. Carrasco said he just wanted direction and "if Mayor and Council feels comfortable with that we will proceed accordingly." Mayor Cooksey said, "If you feel you need a resolution on it we will be glad to pass one at our next meeting." Mr. Carrasco stated, "That's fine, Mayor, that is sufficient." SETTLEMENT OF HOUSTON LIGHTING AND POWER, ET AL Council had before them a resolution to consider action on a proposed settlement of Houston Lighting and Power, et al vs. Brown and Root, et al. Mayor Cooksey said "We have a motion, I would like our City Attorney to advise us on the substance of the motion and the effect of it so we understand what we are voting on. (No motion stated at this point.) Mr. Paul Isham, City Attorney, stated, "Back in May of this year the defendents in the Matagorda County litigation, that's the litigation Houston Lighting and Power filed against Brown and Root and Halliburton in their own behalf as well as project manager on behalf of the four participants in the South Texas Project. Halliburton, Brown & Root made an offer of settlement to the four parties. That offer was to pay $750,000,000.00 quarterly, over a seven year period of time. The Council Memo 14 12/19/85 first payment commencing on October 1, 1985, or contingent upon the receipt of a final order from the Public Utility Commission approving the settlement as it pertains to two privately owned utilities, Houston Lighting and Power Company and Central Power and Light. However, there is a proviso in the settlement agreement that those utilities could waive the requirement of the Public Utility Commission to approve that settlement. In addition to the $750,000,000, Austin would receive $120 million of that $750 million which would be a portion in accordance with the interest in the project. Halliburton and Brown & Root will transfer to the utilities approximately $50-million dollars worth of equipment at the site at the South Texas Project. This is equipment which was in dispute as far as the ownership of the equipment. Brown & Root was taking position in the law suit that they owned that equipment and it should be returned to them. So that is an additional consideration that equipment will be conveyed to the four utilities. In addition each of the participants will release Halliburton and Brown & Root from all claims and liability regarding the South Texas Project and the litigation. In addition, Brown & Root and Halliburton will release to the four participating facilities any claim with regards to monies that may be owed to them as a result of their work on the project. In addition the Matagorda County litigation would be dismissed. As I am sure everyone knows after this settlement offer was conveyed, it was conveyed on the terms that any number of participants in the project owning 50% or more of the plant would accept the terms of the settlement. There was another proviso in the settlement offer that if 51% or more of the ownership interest accepted the settlement that any subsequent settlement with the remaining participants would be in such a manner that the settling participants would not be disadvantaged by such settlement. There was a favorite nation clause in the settlement offer that essentially said that if someone did not agree to the settlement, a later settlement, if it was better would accrue to the benefits of all, benefits of that settlement would accrue to all the settling parties. What it did was make it very difficult for Austin at that time being the only party that indicated it was not accepting the settlement in May to secure additional consideration for the settlement. We all know HL&P, Central Power and Light filed a petition with the Public Utility Commission asking that the Public Utility Commission approve this settlement as to those utilities. Ultimately that petition was dismissed by the Public Utility Commission. That occurred two to three weeks ago. Subsequent to that dismissal by the PUC the parties, investor owned utilities, HL&P and Central Power and Light have waived the provision that a final ordinance be received by the Public Utility Commission approving this settlement. They have indicated as San Antonio, all three other owners in the South Texas Project, formally approved the settlement offer. The matter is now before this City Council to determine whether it desires to accept its proportionate share of the settlement offer. As we have discussed in previous executive sessions your attornies, both outside law firms Fulbright-Jaworski and Miller-Canfield-Paddock & Stone as well as myself have recommended to you that under the circumstances that you accept this settlement offer." ㅏ Council Memo 15 12/19/85 Mayor Cooksey asked, "Does this settlement in any way preclude our continuation if necessary of the lawsuit against Houston Light and Power Company that we presently have filed in Travis County?" Mr. Isham said, "No, sir, it doesn't." Mayor Cooksey asked, "Does it in any way in your opinion or the other attorneys, undermine our lawsuit in that respect?" Mr. Isham said, "No, we do not believe it does." Mayor Cooksey said, "It is my understanding that after this action today you and Fulbright & Jaworski and Mr. Hyden of the Michigan firm will review the settlement documents and determine the adequacy of those documents to protect the interest of the City of Austin?" Mr. Isham said, "Yes, sir, in fact we have furnished copies of all settlement documents, not only the ones that the City of Austin will be asked to sign, but the ones signed by the other participating owners in advance and we find them in order. There is a closing scheduled for tomorrow in Houston that if Austin approves the settlement today it would be included in that closing. is not approved, I can't say if the closing will go forward or not, but the documents are in such a form that they are individual documents as to each owner as compared to a joint document." Mayor Cooksey said, "Then all of these documents have already been reviewed. In the original proposal there was a requirement that the PUC review and approve this settlement and may have since declined to review the settlement. Has that been taken out as a condition by Brown & Root and Halliburton at this point?" Mr. Isham said maybe John Baine of Fulbright & Jaworski can help, but I think that condition was placed in there at the insistance of Houston Lighting and Power and Central Power and Light and there is a waiver provision and whether that provision has been taken out of the revised document or whether the waiver has been executed, I do not know." Mr. Baine stated, "They had asked that it be handled by waiver so the parties other than Halliburton and Brown & Root and those other parties that were going to benefit by the provision are going to waive it." If it Councilmember Urdy asked about the legal fees which have already been incurred in the lawsuit. Mr. Isham said there is not a separate payment as part of the offer for attorney fees. Each party will bear its own attorney fees. Those fees are reimbursed through the $120-million dollar payment. Motion Councilmember Rose offered the following motion: "I will move that the City of Austin accept the settlement of the Houston Lighting and Power et al vs Brown & Root lawsuit and that we instruct either the Mayor or the Manager as his designee to sign at subsequent closing." Councilmember Humphrey seconded the motion. Councilmember Shipman said this proposal has been discussed for months in executive sessions. "The proposed settlement is for less than Austin's actual damages and for this reason my vote is no." Mayor Cooksey stated, "I think the vote we are taking today is an individual decision, however I do believe that in this case we should Council Memo 16 12/19/85 follow the advice of our attorneys since they have been involved in this litigation for some 24 to 3 years now. They have been involved in deposition and analysis involving many, many hours of effort and consideration. They have done an excellent job in getting us to where we are today from the position where we started out in this matter....that is with Brown & Root and Halliburton refusing to take any responsibility whatsoever for any damages to the City of Austin and the other participants in the project. I think this settlement is one of the largest that I know of in the history of litigation unless Texaco decides to settle its case. I think we have done well in this matter and therefore I am willing to vote to approve it." Councilmember Rose stated, "There is a long and somewhat sordid history involving all of this and we do make individual decisions, but collectively, we represent the people of Austin and one of the things that we have to do in terms of that recommendation is be stewards of our citizens money. There is an unhappy fact situation that just never seems to go away with the South Texas Nuclear Project despite our desires and our personal preferences. That is that we are partners in that project and the fact situation here is that our partners have all agreed to settle. This is the settlement offer on the table and it is the largest settlement to date in the history of the United States. The probability of Austin going down alone to Matagorda County and trying this lawsuit and incurring all of those costs and coming up with something better than this is remote, extremely remote. I don't think it would be a wise decision for us to make on behalf of the citizens of Austin. I think what we need to do is settle this suit so we can continue to focus our energy, legal as well as mental as well as political on Houston Light and Power and try and find a way out of the South Texas Nuclear Project if possible. There has been a thought that has run through this discussion that there is a way, perhaps, that we could use the settlement suit, or the subsequent trial, the Brown and Root suit, as a way for Brown and Root to take us out of STNP. They have said time and time again that they do not have any interest in doing that. It is simply a question of settling a lawsuit or trying a lawsuit. The discussion we had with our partners, Houston Light & Power and some of the other people, that is a different discussion and a different fact situation. So we have before us the question of whether we think we can go to Matagorda County and try, on our own, a ten year lawsuit and come up with a better deal than the settlement that is before us. I don't think there is any possible way so I think this is an extremely wise decision the Council is making, if we decided to accept the settlement. It doesn't mean we like STNP, it doesn't mean we like or dislike nuclear power. It doesn't have anything to do with that. This is a wise decision and I concur with the Mayor when he said that we are best served to take the advice of our legal staff who would have to try that suit if we just sent them down to try to do that." Councilmember Urdy stated, "I said last spring when our partners in this agreed to settle that I thought the City of Austin should join them. Simply because the way the settlement is structured, Austin would Council Memo 17 12/19/85 have to recover from Halliburton and Brown & Root $100,000,000.00 in order to capture sixteen. It would cost us probably more that that to try the suit. So, it seems to me we would be losing a lot of time with diminishing returns when we should be focusing our attention in another direction and I am not one who likes STNP but I agree with the Mayor, we should settle the lawsuit and I think this is the best we will ever get out of this lawsuit." Mr. Harrison, Ms. Shultz and Mr. Robbins expressed their displeasure with the settlement.as did Tom Smith. Roll Call on Motion 5-1 Vote, Councilmember Shipman voted No, Councilmember Carl-Mitchell absent. Councilmember Humphrey stated, "I would like to ask the City staff that we get together because we have $120-million that will be coming into the coffers of the City of Austin and I do not want this to be taken as new money for the City of Austin. I had the luck to meet with Mr. Amory Lubbins who is considered the guru of the conservation movement throughout the world. He advises both Republicans and Democrats and he told me that cancellation would be to our best economic interest. He has shown me the numbers where cancellation would not only be to our best economic interest but to the partners also. I believe that an earlier Council voted for cancellation and I would like to have some sort of study with this money that could be done at a very small amount, probably about two hours payments on the nuke, that we could get detailed information to see whether or not this would be the proper thing to do to offer our partners. The second choice I would have with the money is to use it on a conservation program where we are saving money, keeping money in the City of Austin, lowering people's utility bills and finally reducing our substantial debt. I would like to meet with you this week to figure out what we are going to do with this money." - RECESS Council recessed its meeting from 4:25 to 4:50 p.m. and resumed its meeting to take up the Austin Housing Finance Corportion meeting, which lasted from 4:50 to 5:00 p.m. Council resumed its recessed meeting at 5:00 p.m, CONTRACT FOR WEATHERIZATION CONTRACTOR DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM The Council, on Mayor Pro Tem Trevino's motion, Councilmember Humphrey's second, adopted a resolution approving the following contract: (5-0 Vote, Councilmember Rose out of the room, Councilmember Carl-Mitchell absent.)
