tioned the possibi ',y of using the Front Porch at the Corpus Christi Museum.

Mr. Lontos was questioned by City Attorney Aycock as to his qualifications
and stated that a formal resume of his qualifications is on file in the office of
the City Secretary. Mr. Lontos explained the scope of the project and pointed out
the portions of the streets to be improved on a map. He stated that the improve-
ments will consist of excavation to a width and depth to provide for the construc-
tion of a street width varying from 24.5' to 45' back to back of curb. Mr. Lontos
further stated that the project is being jointly constructed by the City and the
State Department of Highways and Public Transportation and the plans, as prepared
by the State, provide for two -way traffic movement to the downtown area and travel-
ing westward. He also informed the Council that the plans include curbs, gutters,
sidewalks, traffic islands, inlets, driveways, and the existing street, which is
offset, will be aligned. He also stated that the plans specify the use of 8" flex-
ible and 2" hot -mix asphalt concrete.
In regard to funding, Mr. Lontos stated that Abacus Corporation was the low
bidder on the project, and the total contract price is $174,282.67; the State will
provide, through the Urban Systems Program, $105,821.47; preliminary assessments
total $31,598.38; and the City's portion is $68,461.20.
Mr. Lontos explained the various charges for different property owners and

may pay their entire assessment following completion of the project, or may pay in
monthly installments at an interest rate of 5�4Y.

stated that the plans specify brick islands with some planters in the area. Mr.
Gulley suggested the installation of some type of sculptures for the islands.

8" flexible base. Mr. Lontos indicated that the street will have the 8" flexible
base with the exception of the streets that are in good condition, on which there
will be only an overlay.
City Manager Townsend summarized that this project will provide two -way
traffic on Cooper's Alley, Mesquite Street will be one -way, and the improvements
will facilitate the flow of traffic.

Mayor Pro Tem de Ases inquired if Cooper's Alley was included in the 1972
Bond Program. City Manager Townsend informed him that it was in the 1972 Bond
Program and that it has been under study by the State Department of Highways and
Public Transportation for some time. Mr. Townsend also explained the method by
which the assessments are returned to the street fund and used to fund more street
improvements.
Council Member Lozano inquired if the City was aware that the State con-
templated improvements to Cooper's Alley when the bonds were approved in 1972.
City Manager Townsend stated that the City was not aware of this, but participa-
tion by the State enables the City to fund other street projects.
Mr. Dean Flinn, 618 Carmel, inquired if a traffic light or stop sign will
be installed at the intersection of Mesquite Street and Cooper's Alley.
Mr. Lontos stated that conduits will be there in the event they are needed
in the future.
Mr. Flinn then asked if the parking meters will be removed on Broadway.
City Manager Townsend stated that this will be a separate matter to be considered
at another time.
An unidentified lady in the audience mentioned that it is very difficult
for traffic to flow from Tancahua to Carancahua during the 5:00 p.m. heavy traffic
situation. City Manager Townsend informed her that a traffic light for this area
may be considered at a later date.
City Attorney Aycock then introduced Mr. W. A. Holly, Jr., a Real Estate
Broker and Appraiser, and questioned him as to his qualifications to appear as a
witness to attest to the proposed assessments. Mr. Holly stated that a formal
resume of his qualifications is on file in the office of the City Secretary.
Mr. Holly testified that he is familiar with each piece of property involved
in the assessments; that he has examined all of the property; and that he does not
recommend any reductions in the assessment of any of the property. He stated that,
in his opinion, all of the property being assessed will be enhanced at least for the
amount of the assessment, pointing out that all of the property is zoned for business

and all of the businesses will benefit from the improved street and the two -way flow
of traffic.
Mayor Luby invited members of the audience to address the Council in regard
to the assessment roll.
Mr. Dean Sanders, 210 Mitchell, representing Flato Electric Supply Company,
stated that this company's total assessments amount to $19,131.31. Mr. Sanders
contended that since the City had taken the easement from some of the property,
the value of the lots on the curve of the proposed street has been reduced. He
also stated that he does not feel that the change in traffic flow will enhance
the value of the lots since two -way traffic already exists on Telco Street and
on Cooper's Alley. He requested that the Council consider a reduction on the
assessments for this property owner.
Council Member Gulley requested Mr. Sanders to point out the lots owned,by
the Flato Company from which the easements had been obtained, and inquired if the
property owner had been paid for the easements. Mr. Sander$ pointed out the pro-
perty and stated that the owner had been paid for the easements but he did not
know the exact amount. Mr. Sanders stated that the property in question is now
being used for parking lots with the exception of one piece of property which is
vacant.
Council Member Gill inquired if the property owner is reimbursed for just
the easement when it is acquired, or if the damage to the property is considered
when payment is made. City Manager Townsend stated that damage to the remainder
of the property is also taken into consideration.
City Manager Townsend explained that the point Mr. Sanders was trying to
make was that the lots are now curved rather than rectangular. Mr. Townsend pointed
out that Mr. Holly has determined that the property will be enhanced by the street
improvements, but Mr. Sanders feels that the property will not be enhanced due to
the fact that the lots in question are no longer rectangular.
Council Member Gulley inquired about the amounts paid for the acquisition
of the easements. Mr. Lontos informed him that the acquisition cost for Parcel
No. 1 was $34,800 and for Parcel No. 2, it was $19,900.

Mayor Pro Tem de Ases pointed out that the property owner had been compen-
sated for the land taken, and City Manager Townsend stated that the land was appraised
at that time and the property owner had agreed to the price.
City Manager Townsend asked Mr. Lontos about the number of driveways planned
for this property. Mr. Lontos stated that a total of five driveways are planned for
the three parcels of land. Mr. Townsend explained to Mr. Sanders that it would be
possible for the location and sizes of the driveways to be changed if the owner so
desires.
Council Member Gulley stated that the owner of these three pieces of property
had received over $54,000 for the right -of -way and he felt that the matter of enhance-
ment should have been considered at that time.
Council Member Sample inquired if there are any setback requirements for
construction of buildings on curved streets. City Manager Townsend stated that
there are no requirements, and Mr. Sample stated that the owner would not neces-
sarily be required to build a curved building.
Mr. C. J. Childers, 3249 South Staples, spoke at this time in regard to
Item No. 7 on the assessment roll, the owner of which is Mike Childers, 3321 Orlando.
Mr. Childers questioned the need for the sidewalk in front of 'this property since it
does not continue past his property.
City Manager Townsend stated that the extra width of the sidewalk is planned
primarily for the safety of pedestrians crossing to the island which will be con-
structed in front of his property.
Mr. Mike Childers requested a reduction in his sidewalk assessment since
a wider sidewalk than normally constructed is planned in front of his property.
After further discussion on this aspect of Mr. Childers' assessment, Council Member
Gulley suggested that this property owner's sidewalk assessment be reduced to 400
square feet, which would represent a reduction to $300 for the sidewalk. Mr. Childers
agreed to this reduction, which would reduce the total assessment for Item No. 7 to
$726.40.
No one else spoke in regard to the assessment roll.
Motion by de Ases that the hearing be closed; seconded by Sample, and passed
unanimously.

Motion by de Ases that the preliminary assessment roil be accepted with the
exception that the assessments on Item 7 be reduced from $996.40 to $726.40;
seconded by Diaz, and passed unanimously.
Council Member Gulley reiterated that he felt that the islands included in
this project would be an ideal location for sculptures. Mayor Luby and Council
Member Gill agreed to this. Council Member Sample stated that he would agree to
this if a similar project is considered for Chipito Street.
City Manager Townsend mentioned that an application to be sent in to the
Bureau of Outdoor Recreation by the Tennis Association may be the catalyst to expand
the H.E.B. Tennis Center and stated that Del Mar College had indicated an interest
in participating in the expansion.
.Mayor Luby suggested that the property at the intersection of Ocean Drive
and Airline be considered for acquisition for use as a park.
City Manager Townsend stated that the Staff will.investigate the possibility
of acquiring this property.
Council Member Diaz asked if the "No Parking" zone in front of Fraser
Elementary School in the 1600 Block of Airline could be eliminated between the
hours of 7:00 and 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 and 4:00 p.m. to enable parents to pick up
their children. City Manager Townsend stated that this is a major intersection,
but the staff will investigate the possibility.
City Manager Townsend informed the Council that the closed session listed
on the agenda, under the authority of Section 6252 -17 2(g), involves the City's
contract with the Nueces County Community Action Agency and the personnel involved.
Motion by de Ases that the Council go into closed session; seconded by
Sample, and passed unanimously at 4:05 p.m.
The Council reconvened in Regular Meeting at 4:55 p.m:

Council.
SECTION 8. The fact that the above - described streets have
become important thoroughfares and the fact that the present condi-
tion of said streets, within the limits defined, are dangerous to
the health and public welfare of the inhabitants thereof creates a
public emergency and an imperative public necessity, requiring the
suspension of the Charter rule that no ordinance or resolution

said ordinance shall be read at three several meetings of the City
Council, and the Mayor having declared that such emergency and neces-
sity exists, and having requested that said Charter rule be suspended',
and that this ordinance be passed finally on the date of its intro-
duction and take effect and be in full force and effect from and
after its p - age, IT IS ACCORDINGLY SO ORDAINED, this the
