A total of $630,714 was allocated to cover construc- tion. architectural fees and other related expenses. The identical buildings each contain 7,500 square feet of floor space for a cafetorium, kitchen, lounge, class room, a large craft room with adjoining kiln, a small craft room, offices, storage and courtyard. The centers are open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and during the evening hours upon request. Several hundred individuals frequent the centers to participate in the meal and recreational programs, to seek various social services offered and to attend meetings and classes. The cafetoriums and the large craft rooms are used most often. These rooms are the only rooms in the centers which can accommodate large groups of people. The design of the cafetoriums and the large craft rooms is aesthetically pleasing with floor to ceiling windows and cathedral ceilings; however, the high ceilings and the large expanses of glass and concrete create a severe reverberation of sound_ The exposure of hard surfaces creates echo problems and inhibits the use of the rooms by groups of people. Voices are distorted and projected sound becomes unintelligible. Lindale and Greenwood Centers have identical acoustical problems. A sound absorption treatment is proposed in order to efficiently use the centers for meetings and group gatherings. Acoustical treatment of the west and south walls of the cafetorium and the north and west walls of the large craft room at Lindale Center and corresponding walls at Greenwood Center will correct the rever- beration from the hard - surfaced areas in these rooms. Wall panels which are three - fourths of an inch in thickness will be used to cover portions of the walls. The panels are thirty inches wide and nine feet high, made of perforated mineral fiber board five - eighths of an inch thick, and covered with modacrylic fabric. The panels absorb sixty percent of the sound striking the surface. The installation of the sound absorbing panels on the west and south walls of the cafetorium and north and west walls of the large craft room at Lindale Center and corresponding walls at Greenwood Center will allow the centers to be used with maximum efficiency. Several senior groups have expressed concern over the inefficiency of these rooms. The Senior Community Services Advisory Council has shown considerable concern over the acoustical problem. The Council has studied the problem through the Ad Hoc Acoustical Committee and has requested that the prob- lem be corrected. The City of Corpus Christi, Senior Community Services will comply with the Davis -Bacon Act and other federal labor standards in the installation of the acoustical materials. The City adheres to the provisions of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. -2- 0 .- I . 1... 0 ?!�ay Christi Texas o 1977 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 suspension 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 ordinance finally on the date it is introduced, or at the present meeting of the City Council.
