SECTION 3. That all taxes for the year 1976 hereby levied
shall become 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, 1976,
and if the taxes levied for said year are not paid on or before January 31
next after becoming due, said taxes shall be deemed delinquent and 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 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 becoming delinquent shall be allowed.
SECTION 4. That in addition to all other taxes, there is hereby
levied a tax in the nature of a street rental fee, as provided by Article 1175,
Sec. 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 water 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, cable television, 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 Tax Assessor - Collector of the City
of Corpus Christi 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 (4) percent of the gross receipts of
such utility derived from the sale of gas, electric energy, or water, cable
television 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 here-
by 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
-3-
to operate within the City shall be liable for the payment of the tax hereby
levied unless a different rate of payment or other consideration is provided
by written agreement with the City.
SECTION 5. If for any reason any section, paragraph, sub-
division, clause, phrase, word, or provision of this ordinance shall be held
invalid or unconstitutional by final judgment of a court of competent juris-
diction it shall not effect any other section, paragraph, subdivision, clause,
phrase, word, or provision of this ordinance, for it is the definite intent
of this•City Council that every section, paragraph, subdivision, clause, word,
or provision hereof be given full force and effect for its purpose.
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 1976 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 1976 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 become 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 but 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 intro-
duction and take effect and be in full force and effect fromnd after
passage of same, IT IS ACCORDINGLY SO ORDAINED this the ��day of ,
1976.
