NEWSLETTER December 2016 Official Newsletter of the Austin Seven Register of Qld
WISHING ALL OUR MEMBERS AND FAMILYS A MERRY CHRISMAS AND A HAPPY AND PROPEROUS NEW YEAR NEWSLETTER December 2016 Official Newsletter of the Austin Seven Register of Qld. Inc. (formed 1967) Former Vice President Brett Wilson in his 1930 Roadster with Amanda in, taken at a Static Display not too long ago, Amanda Wilson our former Treasurer is standing behind. An Open Letter to All Members (Hi Tim I am going to ask you to put the following in the newsletter as a letter to the editor since I do not know how to thank the Austin 7 Club or the members other than by a few words of thanks. As you will read below I think the world of the club and the members as they are truly great people and keep the Austin 7 family going. Thank you - Brett Wilson) To All Austin 7 Club members, Over the last 11 years that we have been involved with the Austin Seven Register of QLD I have always said the Austin 7 Club is the best club that I have ever been in and over the last 2 years you all have shown me why that statement was true. After my ruptured disc and the 3 surgeries to fix it I had offer after offer to help with anything that we needed. I never did take up the offers as I was too proud and I did not want to put any one out in any way. Then one day I was told (not asked mind you but “told”) that the club members were coming to help tidy up around the yard and the shed and they were going to get in a skip and do everything that 1 Amanda and myself couldn’t. -

South Congress Prostitution Problem Is Said to Be About 150 Years Old
99-03 So. Congress Prostitution Problem April 1999 ABSTRACT C>outh Austin's century and half year old history of prostitution which was on the Grand Avenue leading to the Capitol of the State of Texas, was responsible for disrupting the lives of business people and the citizens who live there. In 1992 citizens began meeting with the police to express their concerns over the growing problem of prostitution, especially the presence of a hill top pornographic theater across from a junior high school. Using police stings, they often netted over a hundred "Johns" along with an elected state official. It 1995 a new way of addressing the problem was formally put into action. A.P.D. Crime Net South officers began to address the issues of prostitution by using the SARA model. Now a former feed store and hot bed for prostitution, has become a Mexican Restaurant where President Bill Clinton ate. SCANNING: The Crime Net unit looked at the long history of prostitution, they surveyed police reports, talked to fellow officers and with citizens. They found that a high number of police calls for service were taking place at several motels along South Congress. They used surveillance, undercover buys, stepped up patrols and the abatement law to gather additional information ANALYSIS: In assessing the problem they found that the motels in question seemed to encourage and support the presences of the prostitute by allowing them on the property along with drug dealers. Sometimes the motel employees were the drug dealers. RESPONSE: They meet with the owners and neighborhood associations to talk about the problems. -

Austin Police Department Patrol Utilization Study
AUSTIN POLICE DEPARTMENT PATROL UTILIZATION STUDY FINAL REPORT July 2012 1120 Connecticut Avenue NW, Suite 930 Washington, DC 20036 Executive Summary Sworn Staffing for the Austin Police Department The Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) was retained by the City of Austin to provide the Austin City Council and City Executives with recommendations for an innovative, sustainable method to determine current and future police department staffing needs. The objectives of the study include: reviewing the current demand for sworn law enforcement, including calls for service, investigative workload, staffing for special events, and utilization of support staff; examining benchmarks for police staffing that are used in a sample of U.S. cities with populations from 500,000 to one million; gathering information on local community expectations regarding perceptions of safety, crime reduction strategies, community policing, and patrol utilization; recommending a methodology for the calculation of police staffing needs that can be updated and replicated by city staff in the future; and providing recommendations regarding three- to five-year staffing projections based on the community-based goals. Assessing Police Staffing Officers per Thousand Population One measure that has been used for some time to assess officer staffing levels in Austin has been a ratio of officers per thousand residents. For a number of years the City has used “two per thousand” as its benchmark for minimum police staffing. The city’s population in April 2012 was listed as 824,205 which would dictate that the sworn staffing of the Austin Police Department (APD) be authorized at a minimum of 1,648. Although the two-per-thousand ratio is convenient and provides dependable increases in police staffing as the city’s population rises, it does not appear to be based on an objective assessment of policing needs in Austin. -

A. SUMMARY OF THE CASE AND REQUESTED RELIEF 1. This case involves the interpretation of the Valid Petition Rights section of the Texas Zoning Enabling Act, Texas Local Government Code Section 211.006(d) (the “Valid Petition Rights Statute”). That statute requires a ¾ vote of a City Council to approve any change in zoning regulations that are protested by at least 20% of the landowners in the area. 1 The requisite 20% of the neighboring landowners have submitted valid petitions objecting to the approval of the proposed zoning regulation changes for the Grove at Shoal Creek Planned Unit Development (herein “Grove PUD”). That Grove PUD is proposed as a high-density mixed-use development on a 76 acre tract of land at 4205 Bull Creek Road in Austin, Texas, commonly called the “Bull Creek Tract.” 2. -
