TO: CITY SECRETARY AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JASON LUBY, MAYOR
SUBJECT: THIRD AND FINAL READING OF ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING PURCHASE OF
PARCELS 7 AND 14, BLOCK 91, BAYFRONT SCIENCE PARK EXTENSION.
My feelings as regards the purchase of ANY LAND in the BAYFRONT SCIENCE PARK
EXTENSION is well known for I have repeatedly opposed the purchase of any land in the
area. With the purchase of the land in Block 91, approximately ONE MILLION DOLLARS
in revenue sharing monies will have been expended to purchase land in an area included in
Proposition 2 of the December 9, 1972 election which was defeated in said election. Texas
law in 1972 provided that only those who owned and rendered property were entitled to vote
in tax supported bond issues. That is still the law and will remain so unless and until changed
by the U. S. Supreme Court.
Attached hereto is a map showing purchases made in the Boyfront Science Park Extension area
to date and with Parcels 7 and 14 in Block 91 outlined and cross hatched. In the entire area
encompassing more than TEN BLOCKS, the only area that might be deemed as requisite to
approved building plans for the immediate future is Block 91 which is now being acquired
after long delay and at a considerable increase in cost. More than ONE MILLION DOLLARS
in revenue sharing will have been spent for land disapproved by the voters in the December 9,
1972, Bond Election, using REVENUE SHARING MONIES THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN USED
FOR OTHER APPROVED PROJECTS. Had this money been used to supplement the amounts
provided by the bond issue, for drainage and other improvements required because of the
increase in cost of such projects, construction could have proceeded as originally planned and
the wishes of the voters of the City accomplished.
It, therefore, seems to me that the members of the City Council are not responsive to the will
of the qualified voters of the City of Corpus, that they are, in fact, defying the will of such
voters and acting in a manner evidencing poor judgment.
Third and Final Reading of Ordinance Authorizing Purchase of Parcels 7 and 14,
Block 91, Bayfront Science Park Extensions

Because of all of the above, I wish to vote "NAY" to the proposed purchase of Parcels
7 and 14, Block 91, Bayfront Science Park Extension, I will refrain from signing said
Ordinance when it is presented to me for signature,
