All taxes for the year 1971 hereby levied shall be- come due and payable at the Office of the Tax Assessor - Collector of the City of Corpus Christi, Texas, on or after the first day of August, 1971, and if the taxes levied for said year are not paid on or before January 31st next after becoming due, interest shall be charged upon the gross amount of the taxes due and penalty due until paid at the rate of one -half of one percent (1/2 of 17) for each month or fraction thereof thereafter. Said interest shall be in addition to such penalties as may be hereafter provided for delinquent taxes. No discount for payment of taxes prior to such taxes be- coming delinquent shall be allowed. SECTION 4. In addition to all other taxes, there is hereby levied a tax on the nature of a street rental fee, as provided by Article 1175, Section (12), V.A.C.S., Texas, against all persons, firms or corporations having any pipes, mains, conductors or other facilities in any public ways, streets, alleys, utility easements, or waters within the City limits of the City of Corpus Christi as part of a Public Utility System. Said charge shall be based on the gross receipts of such public utility derived from the sale of gas, electricity, water or other utility service within the City limits. Said fee or tax is payable for each and every calendar year, and shall be paid on or before March 1 next following the end of such calendar year. Such payments shall be made to the Assessor - Collector of Taxes of the City with a verified statement showing the amount of such gross receipts for the respective year. A reasonable charge for street rental fee aforesaid is hereby determined to be four percent (4%) of the gross receipts of such utility derived from the sale of gas, electric energy, or water and /or other utility service, including directory advertising, within the City of Corpus Christi and is hereby levied in that amount. In the event this street rental fee and /or occupation tax is by State Law prohibited, except as to a different rate than as is hereby levied, then the rate is hereby fixed at the highest rate permitted by State Law to be levied by the City. Any public utility having a franchise from the City or for any reason permitted to operate within the City shall be liable for the payment of the tax hereby levied unless a different rate of payment or other consider- ation is provided by written agreement with the City.

If for any reason any section, paragraph, subdivision, clause, phrase, or provision of this ordinance shall be held invalid, it shall not affect any valid provisions of this or any other ordinance of the City of Corpus Christi to which these rules and regulations relate. SECTION 6. That the fact that the passage of an ordinance for the levying of taxes and street rental fees for the City of Corpus Christi for the Year 1971 is necessary and important to the people of the City and the further fact that the preparation and completion of the tax rolls of the City for the Year 1971 is dependent upon the passage of this ordinance, and in order that said tax roll may be completed and ready for the collection of said taxes when the same becomes due and payable as aforesaid, creates an emergency and an imperative public necessity requiring the suspension of the Charter rule providing that no ordinance or resolution shall be passed finally on the date of its introduction and that such ordinance or resolution shall be read at three several meetings of the City Council, and the Mayor having declared such emergency and necessity to exist, having requested the suspension of said Charter rule and that this ordinance be passed finally on the date of its introduction and take effect and be in full force and effect from and after the passage of same, IT IS ACCORDINGLY ORDAINED this the day of July, 1971.
