Marvin Townsend May 15, 1974 Page 2 It is understood that the City of Corpus Christi will obtain permission from the United States Navy for Tracor to utilize all pertinent existing data and materials obtained under Contract N62467 -72 -C -0600, and that the City of Corpus Christi will obtain the necessary permission, clearances, and coopera- tion of the United States Navy for Tracor to perform the herein proposed study. It is further understood that only for Facility 4 (NALF Waldron) will air traffic data be changed from that utilized in the previous Navy work. The on -site noise measurements and operations data collection are expected to require approximately one week. If we are authorized to begin work by 1 July 1974, the required sub- mittals can be completed within six months of authorization. Tracor will perform the work outlined above for a firm fixed price of $13,000. It is indeed a pleasure to work with the City of Corpus. Christi. Your intelligent and constructive approach to community noise problems is exemplary. Sincerely, I�X "I K'2_24�� Wm. K. Connor, Director Acoustical and Social Sciences Department lsf xc: Mr. James K.

P. 0. Box -9277 It Corpus Christi, Texas 78408`nc'[;£UE6Z��1 Dear Sir: Reference is made to your conversation with Captain R. T. HARDY on I May 1974 and with Mr. I. M. Dietz on 2 May 1974, concerning the conversion of noise data at the naval airfields in the Corpus Christi area. You are advised that the Chief of Naval Air Training has no objection to your requesting TRACOR Incorporated to convert airfield noise contours from CNR to NEF values. It is assumed that this can be accomplished from raw data already available to TRACOR but, should additional information be required, efforts will be made to provide this._ You are also advised that there is no objection to requesting TRACOR to "flip- flop" the Waldron Field contours to reflect right -hand landing approaches vice the left -hand patterns upon which the present study is based. Right -hand patterns are being utilized insofar as possible as an accommodation to residents in this area. It should be understood, however, that under some condiJions i1approaches must be practiced. S i n¢eroy, yours R. T. HARDY Captain, CEC, USN Assistant Chief of Civil Engineering Corpus Christi, Texas Q-2 day of 19 TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL Corpus Christi, Texas For the reasons set forth in the emergency clause of the foregoing ordinance, a public emergency and imperative necessity exist for the suspen- sion of the Charter rule or requirement that no ordinance or resolution shall be passed finally on the date it is introduced, and that such ordinance or resolution shall be read at three meetings of the City Council; I, therefore, request that you suspend said Charter rule or requirement and pass this ordi- nance finally on the date it is introduced, or at the present meeting of the City Council.
