SECTION 2. That the cost of said improvements shall be assessed

A. Improvements - Street shall contain a paved surface, plus
two feet (2') of curb and gutter section on each side, a minimum of four -
foot (4') wide sidewalk on each side, or wider where needed, plus driveways
as needed. The paved surface shall be as determined by the Department of
Engineering and Physical Development and approved by the City Council.
B. Assessment Policy - Property owners abutting on each side of
the street shall be assessed on the front foot basis as follows:
1. Ninety percent (90%) of cost of improvements relating
to pavement for one-half of the street abutting property. Such
improvements shall include excavation, caliche base, shell base,
and include six and one-half percent (6 1/2%) of construction
costs for engineering. In calculating this rate, credit shall
be given to the abutting owners for an assumed 18 -foot wide
section of pavement which will be an assumed 9 feet abutting
each property, where pavement exists.
2. One hundred percent (100%) of cost of construction of
curbs and gutters, plus six and one-half percent (6 1/2%) of

costs for engineering.
5. Where churches abut on two streets and double frontages
are indicated, then the assessment rate for the church shall be
reduced to 50% of the residential rate on the street which the
improvements physically side; the determination as to whether
the property is siding will be dependent upon the actual location
of improvements on the property.
The above method shall be used regardless of depth and shape of
lot and any peculiar characteristics, subject, however, to a finding by the
City Council of inequality or injustice and corresponding adjustment.
Credit shall be given for existing curbs, gutters, sidewalks
and driveways, if they meet the standards of the City of Corpus Christi
at the time of construction, and for the amount shown to have been previously
spent for permanent type pavement by the abutting property owner, in excess
of the 9 -foot wide pavement credit abutting the property as described above.
Property which sides along the street being improved shall be
assessed the rate computed above including driveways.
Property backing onto a street being paved will be assessed the
same rate as above except if access is prohibited, then the rate will be
reduced by 50%.
Where it becomes necessary to construct a header curb along the
property line of commercially used properties to prevent -vehicles from park-
ing, backing or turning on the sidewalk, the header curb will be 100% assessed,
plus 6 1/2% of construction costs for engineering, against the abutting property.
Where the City Council finds that property is platted for and
committed in writing to one- or two-family residential use and so used at the
time of assessment, or platted without improvements but committed in writing
to one- or two-family residential use or in use for church or school purposes,
then the assessment rate will not exceed $4.75 for curb and gutter and pavement
and 100% of driveway cost. Property in this category which sides on a street
_._tieing improved shall be assessed°not exceeding 50% of the $4.75'rate,-as''
.well as 50% of sidewalk, and 100% of driveways:-.,',,,- :',,r. ., _
Property which is used for single-family purposes and backing onto
'the street being improved will not be assessed for curbs, gutters or pavement,
but will be assessed 50% of sidewalk, included in the street improvement where
no sidewalk exists in front of property; provided that, where the property is
over 250 feet deep, then the rate will be the same as if property were fronting
the street.
The determination of the assessment rate shall be made by applying
the unit prices obtained by bids to the calculated quantities and front foot
measurements, for the improvements abutting the property.
The cost assessed against said owners and their property shall be
payable in monthly installments not to exceed sixty (60) in number, the
first of which shall be payable within thirty (30) days from the date of
completion of said improvements and their acceptance by the City of Corpus
Christi, and one installment each month thereafter until paid, together with
interest thereon at the rate of five and one-quarter (5 1/4%) percent, with
the provision that any of said installments may be paid at any time before
maturity by the payment of the principal and accrued interest thereon. The
total number of monthly installments on owner -occupied property may be
extended beyond sixty (60) in number so that, at the owner's request, the
total monthly payments will not exceed Ten ($10.00)Dollars per month. Any
property owner against whom and against whose property an assessment has
been levied may pay the whole assessment chargeable to him without interest
within thirty (30) days after the acceptance and completion of said improve-
ments.
That no such assessments shall be made against any owner of
abutting property, or of a street railway or steam railway, if any, until
after the notice and hearing provided by law, and no assessment shall be
made against an owner of abutting property in excess of the benefits to
such property in enhanced value thereof by means of such improvements.
1. •.,,
For, that part7of the cost of the'improvements that shall be
• determined to.be levied against the owners of -abutting -property and their -•
property shall be levied by assessment as herein provided, and said
improvements may further be secured by Mechanic's Liens to be executed
in favor of the City of Corpus Christi, provided by law in accordance
with the terms and provisions of this ordinance. Paving certificates
evidencing the assessment shall be issued in favor of the City of Corpus
Christi for the amount of the assessment, whether the property -owners have
executed Mechanic's Liens to secure the payment or not, and shall be pay-
able for the purpose of financing paving improvement costs.
That the Director of Engineering and Physical Development is
hereby directed to prepare at once specifications and file the same with
the City Council for the hereinabove.described improvements. That in the
specifications prepared, provision shall be made to require all contractors
to maintain for a term not less than one (1) year all pavements and improve-
ments hereinabove described, if, in the judgment of the City Council, it is
deemed advisable to require same.
That such specifications shall require the bidder to make a bid
-upon the type of improvements above described, with maintenance requirements
as herein provided.

performance bond and payment bond, each of which shall equal the amount

for the type of construction enumerated above and set forth in said plans - -
and specifications, and the work shall be done, with the materials and
according to plans and methods selected by the City Council, after the bids

provisions of the Charter of the City of Corpus Christi, Texas, and the
laws above identified, that said improvements may be omitted in front of
any property exempt from the lien of special assessment for street improve-
ments without invalidating or affecting the assessments against the other

a notice in the name of said City of action taken herein and to have same
filed by the County Clerk of Nueces County, Texas, among the Mortgage

Mrs. Ortiz stated that previously cars were driven all over the park; dirt
was placed at the entrance to the park which prevented this; but she feels that the
' dirt should be used to fill in the park, even though it was objectionable when the
vehicles were dr'iven.all through the park.,
Mayor Jones suggested that a staff report be provided on the status of the
improvements to the park,
- Mr. Utter reiterated that this project was in the 6th year plan because
the City is required to submit a three-year plan following the various public
hearings at the'time the application is submitted -each year.
Mayor Jones informed the Council that he has visited Los Encinos Park and.
had' discovered that this'park has much more equipment than many other parks, par
ticularly the park on Congressional and St. Andrews Park.' Mayor Jones contended •
that a great deal of progress has occurred in the development of Los Encinos Park.
Council Member Diaz suggested -to Mrs. -Ortiz that she provide the City staff
