Dunn, and passed that the hearing be closed, that the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission be upheld and that the Special Council Permit be approved subject to beginning of construction by June 1, 1961, and to the following performance standards 1 The development to be in agreement with the plans presented to the Commission, 2. The erection of a masonry wall to extend as far back as the parking area, with cyclone fence on the remainder of the property, 3 Basic landscape requirements and continued maintenance of the park area, 4 A one-story air-conditioned building with no mental or T. B. patients, 5 Plus any others the Staff might consider necessary, to be presented to the Commission in the form of restrictions, Mayor King announced the public hearing on the application of Lone Star Fish & Oyster Company for a Special Council Permit to construct a combination wholesale and retail oyster market and oyster shucking business on Lot 1, Block 411 Brooklyn Addition, being that property at the northwest corner of Timon Boulevard and Bryan Streets Edward Shaw located the property on the map and described its present uses. Mr William Bloch, attorney representing the applicant, stated that the future development plan of Corpus Christi Beach as a basis for denial of this application, is not pertinent for this particular tract of land due to its location at the extreme north end of Timon Boulevard where there is, at the present time, another similar business in operation, that this type of operation, of necessity, has to be located near the water front, that the majority of business men in the immediate area are in favor of the operation, and that the opposition opposed it because of competitive reasons He presented a petition signed by six business men favoring the granting of the Special Permit Mr. Dwight E. Walters, General Manager of Lone Star Fish & Oyster Company, spoke in behalf of his application stating that his is a "fresh" market and because of fast deterioration it is necessary to be located on the water front Opposing the application, Mr. Edmond J. Ford, attorney for Mr. Tom Edwards, owner of a similar business, Nueces Provision Company, spoke stating that his client had operated an oyster shucking plant directly 319 across Bryan Street for a number of years, but had moved the operation to McBride Lane in order to conform with the zoning. He stated that it is his opinion that the location of such a business in the area would impair the future development of Corpus Christi Beach as a tourist area. Mr. Jack Davis spoke and presented a letter and pictures from the Corpus Christi Beach Civic Improvement Association opposing the special permit stating the business is very unsightly, is non -conforming; the plant could be located west of Highway 181, and that the best use for land east of Highway 181 is for re- creational purposes. Motion by Joe B..Dunn, seconded by Barnard and passed, that the hearing be closed and that the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission be upheld to deny the application of Lone Star Fish & Oyster Company on the basis that this change would be in conflict with the future development plan of Corpus Christi Beach and that there is sufficient property available for industrial purposes west of State Highway 181, and the Special Council Permit be denied. Mayor King announced the Council would next hold the public hearing on the Baldwin Street Im- provements and proposed assessments to the abutting property owners from Port Avenue to Highway 444. The following is a transcript of the public hearing that was held by and before the City Council on November 11, 1959, on the Baldwin Street Improvement Project, as per public notice with respect to special assessments. Director of Public Works, Jack Graham, testified in detail in answer to questions by Assistant City Attorney Bernard Schrader, as to the specifications for the improvements, as to construction and as to the City's policy whereby the cost of improvements at intersections of streets are paid for by the City and not assessed against any property owner. The plans and specifications were marked by the Acting City Secre- tary as "Exhibit""A "for the record. The following is the material testimony of Jack Graham:, All improvements are within the City Limits. Baldwin Boulevard is to be.a roadway measuring 60 feet from face to face of curb within an 80 -foot right-of-way. The width of this section will match a previously completed section from Port The sidewalks will be of reinforced concrete 4 feet wide and 4 inches thick;. to 18th Street. Sidewalks and driveways will be constructed with the project./ The driveways will.be of rein- ', -forced concrete ' -6 inches thick and will extend from the curb to the property line. The pavement itself will consist of a 6 -inch thickness lime stabilized clay base course, a.3 -inch selected material consisting of sal- vaged caliche base plus additional sand, a 4� inch thickness coarse graded hot -mix asphaltic concrete base and a wearing surface 1� inches in thickness of fine graded hot -mix asphaltic concrete, giving a combined total thickness of base and surfacing material amounting to 15 inches. The line stabilization and the select material will be extended to a point 2 feet behind the curb on each side in order to reduce the amount of heaving of the curb and gutter which would otherwise result. Jack Graham further testified that theproposed assessments do not exceed the cost of driveways, sidewalks and 90% of the remaining costs for paving. The rate of assess- ment per square foot of sidewalks is $0.426, for concrete driveway is $0.8094, and -for curb and gutter is $12;.68164 per linear foot. The portion of the total cost of this project which will be levied against abutting property as special assessments is based upon the front foot rule.and actual bid prices prevailing under the contract. The assessment.rate per front foot is based .on 80 per cent of the actual cost of, one half of the pavement for pavement, curb and gutter; the sidewalk rate is 80 per cent of the cost.of sidewalk actually installed; the total cost of driveway construction is assessed for each individual case as conditions may necessitate. To all of. the above rates 6.5 per cent of the actual cost is added to cover the cost of engineering. The North side of.Agrito Street from Baldwin Boulevard to 100 feet east is to.be the same paving specifications except it is to be a 30' face to face of curb, and the same assessment rates as for Bald- win excepting that the rate per from foot -is $7.03929. _ The South Side of Morgan Street from Baldwin Boulevard to Mohawk is to have the.same paving specifications except it is to be a 44' street face to face of curb, and the same assessment rates excepting that the rate per front foo.t is $7.03929. 320 The east side of Cheyenne Street from Baldwin Boulevard to 100 feet west is' to have the same paving specifications except it is to be a 30' street, face to face of curb, and the same assessment rates as for Baldwin excepting that the rate per front foot is $7.03929. The East side of Pueblo Avenue from~Baldwin Boulevard to 100 feet north is to -be the same paving specifications except it is to be a 30' face to face of curb street, and the same assessment rates as for Baldwin excepting that the rate per front foot is $7.03929., The total contract price for the improvements is $390,527.74, with time of completion specs= fied as 180 days following issuance of work order; total assessments against private property owners is $199,333.35 and the City's portion of the contract cost is $191,194.39. . . . , I .. The Assessment Roll, as prepared by -Public Works Department, was marked as "Exhibit B" by Acting City Secretary. Mr. Gregory Moore and Mr. Harold Carr stated their qualifications as real estate appraisers, and testified to the fact that they had each inspected each of the properties,involved.in the assessment program, and had made other independent investigations of comparable sales and experiences of property owners on improved streets in the City, and testified that'in their opinion, each of the properties would be specially benefited and enhanced in value at least to the extent of the assessment against each of the properties, with the following exceptions: Lillie Marie Hruska property, Corpus Heights Addition, Block 6, Lot 4 should not be assessed due to its small size for building purposes; that.its best use would be for the City to pur- chase for traffic purposes, and that the property would not be enhanced by any amount of the assessment. Aileen M. Waters property, Meadow Park Addition, Block 25, Lot 2, assessment should be re- duced from $786.32 to $300.00, due to the fact that it is -a small triangle, unsuitable for a building or any other economic use, and that after making such reduction, the property would be specially benefited'and enhanced by at least the amount of the remaining assessment. Guaranty Title & Trust Co. property, J. C. Russell Farm Blocks Addition, Block 17, assessment for sidewalks should be deleted on the west side, since there is no present need for side- walks on the west side of the ball park, that the property would be enhanced to the extent of the assessment less the amount of the sidewalk. The following persons appeared to ask questions about the improvements and assessments, or to protest against assessments: Bob Sladek, Corpus Heights, Block 6, Lots 5, 6, & 7, asked about plans and specifications regarding driveways. He was advised that details could be worked out with the Public Works Department.

Schumann appeared requesting the Council to defer action on the installation of city limits markers in Corpus Christi Bay. Mrs. Schumann stated that marking the city limits so the State Game and Fish Commission could enforce the shrimping law would put from two to three hundred.Corpus Christi bait shrimpers out of work; that it would hurt the tourist business in the City more than.netting close in to shore where tourist fish, and that without bait there would be no fishermen. She further stated that the violators are mostly from Ingleside, Texas. Mr. Fred Alford Jr., of Alford's Refrigerated Warehouses, urged the Council to give more con- sideration before closing the bay to bait shrimpers, stating that in addition to affecting the livelihood of a number of persons, it would raise the price of bait to a prohibitive figure. He requested that the Mayor appoint a committee to try to suggest a workable agreement without having to resort to markers. Others appearing requesting the Council to defer action on installation of markers in Corpus Christi Bay, were Mr. Tom Edwards, owner of Nueces Provision Company and Mr. Kimmel, owner of Kimmel's Bait Stand at 1301 N. Water, and all urged the appointing of a Committee as suggested by Mr. Alford. Motion by Barnard, seconded by Pat Dunne and passed that Mayor King establish a committee to study the problem of co -existence between fishermen and shrimpers, and present recommendations to the Council at an early date.

There being no further business to come before the Council, the meeting was adjourned. SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING November.19, 1959 7:00 P. M. PRESENT: Mayor Ellroy King Commissioners: Dr. James L. Barnard Mrs. Ray Airheart Joseph B. Dunn Patrick J. Dunne R. A. Humble Gabe Lozano, Sr. Mayor Ellroy King called the meeting to order. City Manager Herbert W. Whitney_ City Attorney I. M. Singer City Secretary T. Ray Kring City Secretary Kring called the roll of those in attendance. Mayor King announced the Council would hold public hearings on several zoning matters. First application was that of W. M. Bevly and L. H. Janssen to change the zoning of Lots 17 and 18, Block 20, Windsor Park 4, being that property at the southeast corner of Collingswood and Staples, from "A-1" First Apartment House District to "A-2" Second Apartment House District. Mr. Edward Shaw of the Zoning and Planning Department located the property on the map, and stated that the recommendation of the Zoning and Planning Commission was to deny the application on the basis that the change would constitute spot zoning, and that no need had been demonstrated by the applicants. He further stated that there were vacant business lots located nearby. No one was present either in favor of or in opposition to the request. Commissioner Humble moved that the hearing be kept open until 7:30 to allow applicant or those in opposition to appear and be heard. The motion was passed, and Mr. Tom Pogue, attorney representing the applicants, appeared at 7:20. He presented a small map and located the property on his map. He stated that his clients own most of the property in this area, and that a doctor wanted the property for a clinic, but bought another lot while waiting for the zoning. They now have another prospective buyer if they can get the zoning approved. He also presented some photographs of the surrounding scenery, and stated that the area was not very built up. No one appeared in opposition to the zoning change. Motion by Humble, seconded by Pat Dunne and passed, that the hearing be closed. Second application was that of John Matteson to rezone that property located at 440 Roberts Drive and having a frontage of 132 feet and extending 305 feet deep, from "R-1" Single Family Dwelling Dist- rict to "B-1" Neighborhood Business District. Mr. Shaw located the property on the map, stating that the Zoning and Planning Commission re- commended that the application be denied on the basis that although the present use of land is not objection- able, this change could open the door to other less desirable businesses, and the nursery is an excellent 334 buffer between residential and business zones. Commissioner Barnard asked if the Special Council Permits held by Mr. Matteson would allow him to build a retail florist shop. Commissioner Joseph B. Dunn asked if he can operate the retail florist shop under these permits. Mr. Singer advised that he may not. Mr. Matteson appeared in behalf of the application and stated that he wanted the zoning because he would like to build a florist shop, but he feels the need to be prepared to rent the building for some other business in case of some unforeseen disaster. He now has a nursery and 2 green houses, and wants to have the retail florist shop. He feels that he would not be able to borrow the money to build a large enough building if the zoning were not approved. He stated that if the zoning were granted and he built the building, if something happened that he could not meet the payments, he could rent the property to another business in order to prevent loss of the property. The objection of the Zoning and Planning Commission is that the property may be resold and used for other purposes. In answer to a question by Joe B. Dunn, Mr. Matteson said that if he ran into financial trouble, he would want to rent the building for some other purpose. No one appeared in opposition to the request. Motion by Barnard, seconded by Humble and passed, that the hearing be closed. The third application was a request of Dr. R. J. Best to rezone Lots 26, 27, 28, 29 and 30, Bluff Estates, being that property at the northeast corner of Alameda and Paloma Streets from "R-1" Single Family Dwelling District to "A-2" Second Apartment District. Mr. Shaw located the property and presented an illustration of the intended use. Commissioner Joe B. Dunn asked Mr. Shaw if this was part of a particular area which is being watched to avoid undesirable business expansion. Commissioner Airheart asked what lots in that area are improved, and was advised that.there were none. Dr. R. 0. Best appeared in behalf of the application, and gave the history that the property had been bought a number of years ago with the intention of building a clinic. He said that he had requested the zoning change once before, but that the Council at that time granted business zoning to an area nearby, and put an 150 foot buffer zone between his property and the business area. Dr. R. J. Best and Jack Turner, architect, showed the architect's drawing of the proposed clinic. They also presented a letter from Mr. Jack Ryan favoring the zoning application. They stated that out of 10 letters sent out, only 2 opposed the change. Dr. Best further stated that they hoped to get the zoning right away in order to start building partly for competitive reasons, and partly in order that Dr. Best could drop his present lease when it was time to renew it. No one appeared in opposition to the application. Motion by Pat Dunne, seconded by Barnard and passed, that the hearing be closed. The fourth application was from Martha Ashley Winship to rezone a portion of Lot 6, Section 13, Flour Bluff and Encinal Farm & Garden Tracts, fronting 165 feet on Lexington and having a depth of 300 feet, lying immediately adjacent to Gulfgate Unit 2, being designated as Lot 1, Block 1, Mart Addition on a prelim- inary plat on file in the office of Zoning & Planning Commission, from "A-4" Tourist Court District to "B-1" Neighborhood Business District. Mr. Shaw located the property on the map. Mr. Winship appeared and read a letter he had written in support of the zoning change. He stated that no one would be hurt by this zoning, that the area is not now developed, and no plans are being made at the present time build in the area. Mr. Shaw showed an illustration of how future plans of the property could be used. 335 Mr. Winship stated that the Braslaw's,.owners of adjacent property, had no plans for the pro- perty now, and would like to sell it. He further stated that the property in question was not suitable for anything but business because of the expressway. No one appeared in opposition to the application. Motion by Humble, seconded by Pat Dunne and passed, that the hearing be closed. The fifth application being heard was that of Mr. Ted Anderson to rezone Lot 32, Section 13, Flour Bluff and Encinal Farm and Garden Tracts, located at the northeast corner of South Staples Street and Holly Road and fronting 475 feet along South Staples Street and 300 feet along Holly Road, from "R-1" One Family Dwelling District to "B-1" Neighborhood Business District. Commissioner Airheart excused herself from the hearing because -of business associations with the applicant. Mr. -Shaw located the property and advised that the Zoning Committee recommended that the application be approved as sound long range planning. A petition, signed by 5 property owners, was presented in opposition to the rezoning, by reason of the fact that the property they own, across the street, is already zoned for business, and the pro- posed rezoning will decrease the value of their property and overcrowd the area with business zoning. In addition, property owned by J. L. Ethridge, abuts the property in question leaving him a frontage of 75 feet without adequate access. Mr. Ethridge appeared in protest to the application. He showed the Council on the map where his property is located, and stated that the lots, as planned, are backed up to Mr. Ethridge's property. He feels that the rezoning would devaluate his property. Mr. Estes, another signer of the petition, appeared and located his property on the map. His objection was that there was already enough business, and the zoning would hurt the present businesses. No one else appeared in opposition. Mr. Anderson spoke in behalf of his request, and stated that they purchased the land in order to build houses for people in the lower income bracket, stating that the property has already been partially developed and platted so as to keep the prices down on the houses to be built. He feels that the business zoning will be necessary to accomodate the number of people who will be buying the houses to be built in the . area. He further stated that they had worked out the drainage, and that FHA has commented favorably in regard to the drainage. Noone else appeared in connection with this application. Motion by Barnard, seconded by Pat Dunne, and passed that the hearing be closed. The sixth and last application to be heard was that of Dr. J. F. Wetegrove et al, to rezone Lots 8 and 9 of the A. P. Cobbs Subdivision, being that property at the southeast corner of Minnesota and South Alameda Streets, from "R-2" Two Family Dwelling District to "A-2" Second Apartment District. Mr. Shaw located the property and presented a plat showing lots as planned. No one appeared in opposition. Mr. Truett Barber, attorney substituting for William.A. Bloch, attorney representing the applicant, stated that the proposed buildings, 3 in number, would be occupied by doctors. Architect Martin presented plans for the proposed buildings, which would be identical. He stated that there was sufficient parking space provided. Motion by Joe B. Dunn, seconded by Pat Dunne and passed that the hearing be closed. Mayor King announced that the council would recess to discuss the information heard. The meeting reconvened, and Commissioner Barnard moved that the Council vote on the applica- 'tions as announced. The motion was seconded by Commissioner Humble and passed. The decisions of the Council were as follows: 336 1. Denied, 2. Denied, 3. Approved, 4. Denied, 5. Taken under advisement, 6. Approved. Meeting was adjourned.

Ellroy King Aye James L. Barnard Aye Mrs. Ray Airheart Aye Joseph B Dunn Aye Patrick J. Dunne Aye R. A. Humble Aye Gabe Lozano, Sr Aye The foregoing ordinance was passed by tha following vote Ellroy ang Aye James L. Barnard Aye Mrs. Ray Airheart Aye Joseph B. Dunn Aye Patrick J. Dunie Aye R. A. Mumble Aye Gabe Lozano, Sr. Aye Commissioner Airheart requested the records show that she abstained from voting on the first reading of tha ordinance re annexation to the City of 31.644 acres, known as Malibu heights, Unit 1, and the ordinance au- thorizing a contract with Ted M. Anderson, providing for annexation of the most southwesterly 34.127 acres of Lots 30, 31, & 32, Flour Bluff & Encinal Farm & Garden Tracts, stating that the attorney representing the residents of these areas is also her employer. Motion by Joe B. Dunn, seconded by Pat J. Dunne and passed, that the ordinance authorizing a contract with Lockwood, Andrews and Newnam for the preparation of engineering plans and specifications for the Oso Project be amended to provide an appropriation in the amount of $5,118.75, sufficient to cover the first phase on the contract. Mayor King invited anyone in the audience with petitions or information for the Council on matters not scheduled on the agenda to come forward and be heard. Mr. A. H. Hurst, local real estate and loan dealer, appeared, stating that he feels the Council should I apologize to the former City -County Board of Public Welfare for accusing them of misusing City funds Mr. Hurst questioned the legality of using City funds to send the Director of Public Health to Yale University several years ago, and further questioned the legality of the use of City Funds to pay an Urban Renewal director since City government planning no longer supports his salary Mr. Ray Blankert appeared and raised the question as to whether or not the City's Building Code will be changed if the Urban Renewal Program is adopted, and if the housing code, brought up a few years ago, which passed two readings, would be revived Mayor King stated that, so far as he knew, the Council has no intention of re- viving the old proposed housing code, stating it might be desirable to take out antiquated features of existing codes Mr. Blankert was advised to go to the Public Library and read the Urban Renewal Law to determine if the housing code is necessary to a slum clearing project torily answered He departed stating his question has not been satisfac- Mr J. W. Hardy, an elderly Osage Street property owner appeared before the Council complaining that be- cause of assurances from a city negotiator that the City would buy his lot at 437 Osage Street in Meadow Park Addition for use as a recreation park, has worked a hardship upon him, that in anticipation that the pledge would be fulfilled, he has spent all his funds and gone into debt to the extent of the amount he thought the City would pay for the property Motion by Joe B. Dunn, and seconded by Humble and passed, that the City Manager be directed to look into Mr. Hardy's problem and make a full report to the Council. Mr. Joseph A. Cohn, Jr. attorney, appeared before the Council to protest the technique which the City had employed against his client, the SK Investment Corp., during negotiations for a lease the corporation Bolds on a Highway 9 Tract. Mr. Cohn made reference to the ordinance which the Council passed on November 25, 1959, can- celling a lease to Consumers Lumber and Supply Company, because of nonpayment of rentals and nonpayment of taxes assessed, stating that the City had cancelled the lease without having given notice and while negotiations were still in progress with the City Attorney's Office as to the amount owed the City in rentals and taxes. Mr. Singer, City Attorney, pointed out the City's legal right to cancel the lease according to the terms of the contract; also pointed out that the company wanted $55,000 for its interest in the lease while value of the property in a recent bankruptcy proceeding was listed as $21,000. Motion by Humble that the matter be taken under advisement did not receive a second. Motion by Joe B. Dunn that the Council stand by its previous action to cancel the lease of Consumers Lumber and Supply Company, lessee of G. W. Hatch, Sr., et ux. also failed to receive a second. It was suggested that he resume his negotiations with the City's Legal Department. Joe Dreis, operator of the Chick -Inn, 1905 North Chaparral, in the vicinity of the Bascule Bridge, asked the Council not to close the bridge to vehicular and pedestrian traffic. He offered to contribute or get contri- butions for repairing it, stating he thought it could come nearer to being repaired for $100.00 than the $100,000 figure estimated by engineers. Mr. Dreis was advised that the Council could not rescind its former action to close the bridge, as it would be the responsibility of the City should an accident occur, and the Council would have to accept the report of engineers that the Bridge be condemned as unsafe. Mr. W. R. Price ,operator of Price Construction Company, appeared in connection with the zoning appli- cation of Frank G. Evans, et al, previously acted upon earlier in the meeting, stating that he should seek relief by taking the matter to the Board of Adjustment to permit him to extend a nonconforming use instead of trying to amend the zoning. Harry Hoag appeared and called attention to an article appearing in this week's issue of Saturday Evening Post, stating that it is a complete dissertation of the Urban Renewal Laws and answers every question that has been raised both pro and con. There being no further business to come before the Council, the meeting was adjourned. REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING December 9, 1959 2:00 P.M. PRESENT Mayor Ellroy King Commissioners: Dr. James L.

Barnard Aye Mrs. Ray Airheart Aye Joseph B. Dunn Aye Patrick J. Dunne Aye R. A. Humble Aye Mayor King invited anyone in the audience with petitions or information for the Council on matters not scheduled on the agenda to come forward and be heard. A petition was submitted, containing approximately 80 signatures of business men in the vicinity of the Bascule Bridge requesting that it be permitted to remain open to all traffic until it is dismantled and removed, or at least six months; also, that an impartial engineer be employed to determine if it is unsafe in its present condition. (See Petition #29 in File) Mr. Cecil Proctor appeared and speaking in support of the petition, stated that an undue and unnecessary -economic hardship will result if the bridge is closed; that he believes it is in as good condition now as it has been for the past fifteen years; that they were lead to believe, by articles in the newspaper that it would remain open for many more months and that they had completely relied on this information. Mr. L. K. Gunderland, a ship chandler, appeared and stated that business men would be willing to pay the cost of hiring an impartial engineer to determine the condition of the bridge. He further stated that its closing has reduced the southside to a "ghost towns'. Mr. Harry Miller appeared stating that he and other merchants had bought more merchandise than they could now sell in the hope that the bridge would remain open for at least another six months. Another resident and business man of the area spoke and suggested that the Council go out to the bridge personally and make an inspection as to its condition and safety, stating that the material was all good but just needed to be properly secured. 349 Mr. Joe Dreis reiterated statements he had formerly made to the Council that the bridge is as good as ever; that only the road bed is in need of repair. He called attention to the fact that a•local con- struction company, who had -said it was unsafe, had since run a dragline, weighing approximately 50 tons across it, and also, that delivery service trucks are forced to drive approximately 2 miles in order to reach their places of business. Mayor King stated that the Council is not unaware of the problem, but that there has been nothing offered to offset the report of the Engineering Department of the Navigation District that the bridge is unsafe. He also told the petitioners that people have to adjust to changes within the City, and further pointed out that persons affected by the crosstown Expressway and Interstate Highway 37, also have relocation problems. Mayor King asked City Manager Whitney if he had a recommendation. Mr. Whitney stated he thinks the Council's decision'to close the bridge is sound and would recommendthat it not be changed at the present time. A petition, signed by 28 residents and property owners abutting Newton Street from Kostoryz Road, southeast to Carroll Lane, was submitted requesting that the official name of Newton Street be changed to Brawner Parkway. (See Petition #30 in file.) Motion by Barnard, seconded by Airheart and passed, that the date of December 30, 1959, Regular Council Meeting, be set for a Public Hearing on the above request to change the name of Newton Street to Brawner Parkway. Mr. Victor Gillett, chairman of the American Council to Improve Our Neighborhoods (ACTION), appeared and commended the Council on its renewed policy to enforceand give action to a slum clearance pro- gram. He challenged other groups who have allowed slums to exist to adopt the same policy. Mr. John L. Bagwell appeared in connection with the ordinances raising minimum requirements for houses and pledged his support, but stated that he thought the City's Inspection Section was largely to blame for some of the existing conditions in that they do not allow the owners of rent property to do minor repair work themselves without rigid restrictions, licenses and permits. He also offered suggestions to the Council as to ways and means of clearing the slum areas, stating he would like to see a "trash law" enforced to the effect that every tenant would be compelled to keep the property he rents in a clean and sanitary condition. Mr. Harold Carr, local real estate man, appeared stating that the defeat of Urban Renewal on December 5, was a strong mandate of the people to want local enforcement of a slum clearance program. He also suggested that possibly the former Urban Renewal Administrator, Roger Pearce, be used in coordinating the project. Mr. and Mrs. Ranous Blankert of 453 Eldon Drive, stated they thought the Urban Renewal defeat • was a decisive factor against the former Administrator of that program; also that too many blunders in City planning had been made already. Reverend Alfred Henriksen, appeared and commended the Council and the Building Standards Commi- ssion for its efforts to enforce ordinances raising minimum requirements for houses. He further stated that he is glad to see that the Council will not turn its back on the problem of slum clearance. Mr. Roy Long, Executive Vice President of the Home Builders Association, pledged support of home builders to a coordinated slum clearance program. Mayor King praised the City's Inspection Department and the Building Standards Commission, and stated that, in spite of the citizen's rejection of Urban Renewal, Corpus Christi is a fine City and will survive and progress. There being no further business to come before the Council, the meeting was adjourned. REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING December 16, 1959 2:00 P. M. 350 PRESENT: Mayor Ellroy King Commissioners: Dr. James L. Barnard Mrs. Ray Airheart Joseph B. Dunn Patrick J. Dunne R. A. Humble Gabe Lozano, Sr. be approved. Mayor Ellroy King called the meeting to order. City Manager Herbert W. Whitney City Attorney I. M. Singer City Secretary T. Ray Kring The Invocation was given by The Reverend W. J. Piersol of Faith Assembly of God Church. City Secretary T. Ray Kring called the roll of those in attendance. Motion by Barnard, seconded by Pat J. Dunne and passed that the Minutes of December 9, 1959, Mayor King announced the opening of bids. Bids were opened and read on one item (Maintainer) of Heavy Equipment as re -advertised, from the following firms: 1 Anderson Machinery Co. Jim Dulaney Machinery Corp. Holt Equipment Co. Roy Klossner Co. Corpus Equipment & Supply Co. Motion by Pat J. Dunne, seconded by Humble and passed that the foregoing bids be tabled for 48 hours as required by the City Charter and referred to the City Manager for tabulation and recommendation. Mayor King announced the Public Hearing on the zoning application of Simon & Edward Grossman to change the northwest corner of Block "A" Grossman Subdivision of Tract I, from "R-1" One Family Dwelling District to "B-1".Neighborhood Business District. The application is part of a joint application which had previously in- cluded zoning for apartment houses back of the proposed shopping center. Edward Shaw, Coordinator of Zoning, located the property on the map and described its present uses. He stated that it was the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission that the application be denied on the basis that it would be an encroachment into a residential area; it would prevent a logical development of the area, and would grant business zoning of greater depth than that within the area. Mr. Oscar Spitz, attorney representing the applicants, appeared, introduced their architect, Mr. Jack Turner, and explained the nature of their three -fold application. He presented the architect's model of the proposed development and pointed out that the increase in depth of approximately 100 feet on the business portion would simply provide for additional parking, building it up to a true 3:1 ratio which was otherwise impossible because of the irregular property lines. He further stated, in reply to the question raised by Mayor King as to the source of the additional feet, that they were only asking that the plan be changed to permit the building of the super -market to be moved back 100 feet which will provide the 3:1 ratio parking. Mr. Jack Turner spoke stating that the increased parking was more desirable from a loan stand- point, also stated that a limited area would be available for services and employees' parking behind the center. No one appeared in opposition to the application. Motion by Barnard, seconded by Joseph B. Dunn, and passed, that the hearing be'closed and the matter be taken under advisement. Mayor King announced the public hearing on the application of the Corpus Christi Osteopathic Hospital Corporation for a Special Council Permit to construct a private Hospital on a portion of the south 10 acres of the south 20 acres of Lot 1, Section "G" of the Paisley Subdivision of the Hoffman Tract, being 550 feet on Tarlton and Fig Streets. Mr. Edward Shaw, Zoning Coordinator, located the property on the map, and stated that it was the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission that the application be approved. No one appeared in opposition to the above application. 351 Motion by Pat J. Dunne, seconded by Joe B. Dunn and passed, that the hearing be closed and that the matter be taken under advisement. Mayor King announced that the Council would next hear the City Manager's Reports.

Mr. Fred Reeder, attorney for Mr. William Duke, appeared stating that a $5,000.00 judgement which a Federal Jury awarded Mr. Duke in November of 1957, as the result of an alleged violation of Duke's Civil Rights, has not been fulfilled, and stated he thought it is the moral and legal duty of the City to do something about it. Mr. Reeder also questioned whether or not City funds had been used in the appeal of the policemen, Mr. Jackson and Mr. Solis. Mr. Reeder also made reference to the recent trial of former policeman, Alex R. Stowe who was acquitted of a burgulary charge, stating the case indicates a tremendous amount of rivalry in the police depart- ment, resulting in gross inefficiency, and costs the tax payers money. He further stated that officers Stowe and Young pistol whipped members of the Duke family on the night of June 5, 1958, and should be disciplined for said action. Mayor King stated that he would not make a commitment until a full report is submitted from the City Attorney's office, as to the history and present status of the case. There being no further business to come before the Council, the meeting was adjourned.

L..'.Skrobarczyk for zoning change of Lot 2, Tract R, Lexington Place, being that property located at 5005 Kostoryz., from "R-1" One Family Dwelling District to "B-3" Secondary Business District, and read the recommendation. of the Zoning and Planning Commission that it be denied on the basis that it represents further encroachment on the residential area and that no need had been demonstrated for additional zoning which would be in the public interest. Mr. Edward Shaw located the property on the map and described its present uses. Mr. Robert E. Haegelin, attorney representing Mr. Skrobarczyk, spoke.in favor of the application stating that a definite need had been established for business zoning in this area, that it would work a great hardship on the applicant if the property remained "R-1�!; that there is a business area zoning surrounding his - property; that there are several residents in the area approving the change and none opposing it, and that it will depreciate in value if it is not re -zoned. No one appeared in opposition to the foregoing request. Motion by Humble, seconded by Barnard and passed that the hearing be closed and that this applica- tion be taken under advisement.

Williams appeared in opposition to the proposed "bottle club" Ordinance, designating Section 4-7, Paragraphs (c), (d), & (e); Section 4-8, Paragraphs (a), (e), (f), (g), & (i), as vague, unreason- able, unfair, unconstitutional and a "lazy man's approach," to law enforcement. He further stated that all of the issues of this ordinance are covered by other ordinances and laws of the City, and further, that a Bill now pending in the Texas Legislature would take precedence over any ordinance the City might enact at this time. Mr. Williams requested that the City Council table this ordinance and wait for the outcome of the action of the Texas Legislature on this matter.

Humble ' Aye Gabe Lozano, Sr. Aye r , , Mayor King invited anyone in the audience with petitions or information for the Council to come forward and be heard Mr. Charles Porter, attorney, and serving in the capacity of Safety Director of the Robert T Wilson Elementary Parent-Teacher Association, presented the Council with two petitions, signed by members of that organization, namely (1) Petition requesting that the City Council take all necessary steps and actions to cause the )JkJ erection of a red and green electric traffic control light at the Intersection of Pasadena and Alameda, for the i -I i j i reason that several hundred children of elementary school age and immature experiences are compelled to cross Alameda Street at this Intersection, and because of its 60 feet in width and one of the main automobile traffic thoroughfares in the City where motorists drive at speeds in excess of 30 miles per hours, this intersection is extremely hazardous. (See Petition #1 in File.) Mr. Porter stated that a policeman has been stationed at this crossing except for times when he is called on emergency but that he is on vacation now with no replacement due to man power shortage in the Police Department. Mr. Porter agreed that if a policeman were on duty at this crossing at all times when children are crossing the street it would be more satisfactory and safer than a traffic signal light. (2) Petition requesting that the City Council immediately take steps and actions to bring about the construction of a sidewalk for the use of students and pedestrians in the park area on Fort Worth Street immediately North of Robert T. Wilson Elementary School on the West Side of said Street, for the protection and safety of students attending school. (See Petition #2 in file.) Mr. Porter called attention to former requests having been made on many occasions, and the need recognized by various members of the School Board and the past and present City Council, and that sidewalks had been promised and guaranteed on several occasions but that no action had been taken toward the actual construc- tion. I I Mrs. Armstrong Price, Chairman of the City Park Board, accompanied the delegation and gave a brief history of the sidewalk problem on Fort Worth Street, stating her Board had recommended installation of the sidewalks on two sides of the Park in November 1958, but there was no money in the Park Budget for this item Motion by Joe B. Dunn, seconded by Barnard and passed, that City Manager Whitney be directed to order the stationing of a policeman at the Pasadena and Alameda School Crossing at all times when children are crossing to and from school, without any exception, until such time as a permanent solution to the problem is effected Motion by Humble, seconded by Barnard and passed, that both the foregoing petitions be referred to the City Manager for recommendation of a permanent solution to each of these problems as soon as possible. IIThere being no further business to come before the Council the meeting was adjourned REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING January 13, 1960 2 00 P. M. PRESENT Mayor Ellroy King Commissioners Dr James L. Barnard Mrs. Ray Airheart Joseph B Dunn Patrick J. Dunne City Manager Herbert W. Whitney City Attorney I. M. Singer City Secretary T. Ray Kring 367 R. A. Humble r Gabe Lozano, Sr. Mayor Ellroy King called the meeting to order. The Invocation was given by The Reverend Wesley Hoeckle of Broadmoor Park Nazarene Church. City Secretary T. Ray Kring called the roll of those in attendance. Motion by Pat J. Dunne, seconded by Barnard and passed that the Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting of January 6, 1960, be approved. Mayor King announced the opening of bids. .Bids were opened and read on the construction of the Howard Butt Tennis Center from the following firms: Coastal Bend Construction Company Slovak Bros. Price Construction Co. Heldenfels'Bros. Motion by Barnard, seconded by Pat J. Dunne and passed that -the foregoing bids be tabled for 48 hours as required by the City Charter and referred to the City�Manager for tabulation and recommendation. Mayor King announced the Council would next take action on the pending item concerning the zoning application of Louis A. Skrobarczyk to re -zone lot 2, Tract R, Lexington place, located at 5005 Kostoryz, from "R-1" One Family Dwelling District to "B-3" Secondary Business District on which a Public Hearing was held during the Regular Council Meeting January 6, 1960. Mr. Skrobarczyk appeared in behalf of his application, stating he was not present at the meeting of January 6, because of a misunderstanding regarding the time scheduled for the meeting. He presented plans for the development of his property which included head -in parking, that he proposed to use part of his building for his offices and to rent the remainder to a door sales firm and that construction would be commenced within six months. = Motion by Humble, seconded by Barnard and passed, that the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission be upheld to deny the application on the basis that it represents further encroachment on the residential area and that no need has been demonstrated by the applicant for additional zoning which would be in the public interest. Mayor King announced the Council would next hold the public hearing on the application -of Mr. Victor Moses for a change of zoning ofa tract of land out of the May Tract lying on the south side of Hayward Drive between W. B. Ray Heights',Subdivis'ion and the southwest boundary of South Staples, being designated on a Single Family Dwelling District to "B-1" preliminary plat as Block 8, W.=B.- Ray Heights Unit 3, from "R-1"/Neighborhood Business District. Mr. Edward Shaw,"'Zoning Coordinator, located the property on the map and described its present uses relative to the surrounding areas. Mayor King read the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission to deny the request on -the basis that conditions in the area have not changed to alter the Commission's previous action of January 5, 1959; that this property is located between One -family and occupied business property; is located at a•major entrance to an established neighborhood of One -family Dwellings and should be treated as residential property. Mr. Oscar Spitz, attorney representing the applicant, addressed the Council stating that condi- tions have changed since the Zoning.and Planning Commission made a recommendation to deny the request, namely, that they had been able to complete the service road, and that Mr. Moses.now owns'the lot which directly abuts his property. He further stated that all the people whose residences are adjacent to these tracts acquired their property after the business zoning was established, and that the requested change would not be spot zoning but an enlargement of the existing business district. Mr.,Pat Saunders, owner and operator of Pat's Burger House in the business center adjacent to the applicant's property, spoke in favor of the application stating that he felt the additional business area would be a stimulus to business I and -generally benefit the existing, shopping center: ,, 1368 Reverend Alfred Henriksen of 1201 Ray, spoke opposing the application, calling attention to the fact that this application has repeatedly been turned down by the Zoning & Planning Commission and also by pre- vious Councils. He stated that the applicant is the owner of other business property in this area which is not rented at the present time; that it is an area inhabited with many children and that added business zoning would create a conjested traffic problem, and that in his opinion this request is not in the public interest.. Mrs. James E. Layton of 3526 Pecan, appeared opposing the application stating that the granting of business zoning would decrease the value of residential property in this area. Mr. Harold Carr, representing the Unitarian Church Fellowship, spoke in opposition stating that it was his belief the FHA extended loans in W. B. Ray Heights because they felt residences were to be constructed on the property in question. He stated Mr. Moses created his own zoning problem when he sold the back portion of this tract, leaving lots on both sides of Hayward Drive; Mr. Carr told the Council that it is.his opinion that after the Harland Bartholomew Survey is completed it will show that the City of_Corpus Christi has three times too much business zoning already:. :He stated further that this change of zoning would create an unattrac- tive entrance to a residential subdivision which, in his opinion is very important, and also, that there is a definite shortage of good residential subdivisions in the City. Motion by Pat J. Dunne, seconded by Joe B. Dunn and passed, that the hearing be closed and that the matter be taken under advisement. Mayor King announced the Council would next,hold the public hearing on the application of Mr. Sam Susser to re -zone Lots 17 through 32, Block 8, Portairs Addition, being that property on the.west side of Kilgore Street between Gollihar and Alexander Streets, from "R-2" Two Family Dwelling District to "B-3" Second- ary Business District. Mayor King read the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission that this request be. denied on the basis the zoning district boundaries represent good zoning practices with due regard for the property rights of the people _behind -this property and, -,further,. -that the applicant.has not demonstrated a public need for additional business in -this area.•• , Mr. Paul.Nye, attorney representing Mr. Susser., appeared before the Council and pointed out that his client had built the original subdivision, reserving those lots facing Ayers Street for a community center. He stated Mr. Susser now plans to erect a first clas_s.shopping center on the entire block and needs this addi- tional zoning to provide 3:1 parking to building ratio. He stated that a survey of persons living in the area indicated most of them favored the ,change_.gf zoning, and that those who oppose it are residents who believe it will change Kilgore into an alley because the buildings would back up to Kilgore,Street. Mr. Nye stated that Mr. Susser is willing to screen the buildings from the street -by means of a wall and a parkway. Mr. Fred Quaile, a local real estate man, spoke in favor of the application, stating that the project is needed ;for economic,reasons; would,,involve an -investment of- $500,000 and would provide.jobs for an additional 100 persons. Mr. Ben Christian, architect, presented sketches showing the proposed development of the pro- perty and stated,that 3:1 parking to building ratio will be provided and that the back of the buildings will be landscaped to properly screen the shopping center from Kilgore -Street. ; Mr. William D. Longridge,._,4442 Kilgore, opposed the application,'stating that the charge in zoning would devaluate his property. Motion by Humble,_,seccnded by Pat J. Dunne and passed that.the.hearing be closed and the matter taken under advisement. Mayor King, at this time, invited Mr. Fred Alford to speak who has requested that he be given the opportunity to present to the Council a letter expressing,his view of what he termed "ridiculous" building code, health regulations and unfair taxation imposed on new industry. Mr. Alford is president of Alford Refrigerated Warehouses of Corpus Christi, Inc., 260 McBride 3V J Lane, who located his million -dollar plant in the City last year. He made his remarks in the form of amll-page statement which is on file in the Office of the City Secretary. Mayor King stated that the Council appreciated the expression of such views, and if the City of Corpus Christi needs to make some changes in its regulations, the Council will take necessary steps to make them Keen concern was expressed that an unfavorable atomosphere to industry and business is not unnec- essarily created and maintained at the City Hall and, on the contrary, that every assistance and cooperation, consistent with the general welfare of the City, be extended by the various divisions of City Government to I all businesses and citizens. M It was suggested that the City Manager investigate the conditions referred to by Mr. Alford and report the results of the investigation with recommendations to the Council. Mayor King announced the Council would next hear the City Manager's Reports. Motion by Barnard, seconded by Pat J. Dunne and passed, that the City Manager's requests and recommendations be granted and approved, relative to the following a.

Ray Kring called the roll of those in attendance. Motion by Barnard, seconded by Humble and passed, that the Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting of January 13, 1960, be approved. Mayor King announced the Council would hold the Public Hearing on the application of Mr. E. H. Markins to close an alley, being an alley located on the south side of the tract known as the Replat of Lot 25, Block 1, Markins Place Subdivision, and located at the southwest corner of Weber Road and South Staples Street. City Manager Whitney presented a map showing the location of the alley in question, and stated that the affected City Departments had been contacted and that they recommend the closing of this alley subject to an agreement with the owner that a 10 -foot utility easement be established or maintained. Mr. Marshall Boykin, attorney representing Mr Markins, appeared and stated that the alley is not in use now as an alley and that it never has been, that there has not been a demand for an alley at this location, and that if it were opened it would involve an expense to property owners who now have fences and other encroachments existing in the easement. Mr. William Bloch, attorney representing Young -Wise Seed Company, spoke in favor of the appli- cation stating that the alley was not open and had been dedicated only after the area was rezoned for business purposes and that the businesses did not require it. He further stated that the majority of the residential property owners abutting on the alley were in favor of the closing Also, that his clients were willing to agree not to construct buildings nearer than they now are, or five feet, from the existing fence. Mr. Jim Young of Young -Wise Seed Company appeared and stated that it is the intent of his company to run a good clean business and to cooperate with surrounding businesses and neighbors. Mrs. C. R. Crawford, 3908 Cott Street appeared in opposition to the closing of the alley stating the alley could be of use to residents in the area if it were opened. She further stated that peat moss was, at present, stacked up against her fence, creating an offensive odor, a health and fire hazard, and since it is inflammable, her insurance agent had informed her that her insurance rates would be raised. Mr. Bill Scholts, of 3912 Cott Street, stated he was not particularly opposed to closing the alley, butthat the alley was of no use only because it was not open, and that he bought his property without the knowledge the alley existed Mr. Harold Cooper objected to the closing of the alley because he believed buildings could be constructed in the easement, creating a fire hazard and that his property would be depreciated. In rebuttal, Mr Bloch and Mr. Boykin stated that their clients would make restitution to any damage done to any property owner, that they would agree not to store peat moss above the fences, and that buildings will not be constructed within 5 feet of the easement.

He asked if the signs being placed could read Harbor Bridge and Corpus Christi Beach, or Harbor Bridge and Downtown Mayor King agreed that there would be better signs at both ends of the bridge, but that there would be many other people wanting to label the signs with additional information. Mr. Davis asked that since people could easily see the bridge, could the signs merely read Corpus Christi Beach, and leave off Harbor Bridge. it. Mayor King stated that the present signing is inadequate, but steps have been taken to correct Mr. Frank Shield rose in agreement with Mr. Davis, and stated that the Beach definitely needed signs directing people to the area He further stated that even old customers need directions every time they want to leave the area City Manager Whitney said that it would probably take about 10 days to 2 weeks to get the new signs made and erected. a Mr. Davis stated that if they don't get some help, they will feel that they are being discriminated against, further stating that there is not one sign with lettering reading Corpus Christi Beach.

Dave Coover, attorney representing the applicant stated that no construction is planned on the lots but that business zoning is needed in handling the financing, and that it will be devoted strictly to parking. He further stated that "A-2" zoning would not be acceptable. Edward.Shaw.located..the property on.the map.and stated.that the Zoning -and Planning Commission recommended that, subject to the same conditions on the Aldridge property, the more restricted "A-2" classi- fication be approved in recognition of the fact that there is now symmetrical "B-1" zoning that lines up with present zoning across Alameda and, further, there is a good deal of unused "B-1" zoning presently in the neighborhood.

He stated that his client planned to remove two old buildings on the back to provide a parking lot for tenants. Mayor King read the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission that this application be denied on the basis that such change would constitute spot zoning; that there had been no public necessity demonstrated by the applicant for the change; that there is commercial zoning in the area which is not being used, and that this property can be very properly developed under its present zoning.

Humble Aye Gabe Lozano, Sr. Aye Mayor King invited anyone in the audience with petitions or information for the Council to come for- ward and be heard. Mrs. T. A. Goates of 2832 S. Lexington Blvd., appeared stating she has attempted to get sanitary sewer service to her property at this location for the past two years without success. She stated that she had been advised that it would cost her $12,000 to run a line 2,400 feet from her house to the nearest trunk line, that other abutting property owners on the line could agree to pay $2.00 per front foot to help pay for the line but Mrs. Goates stated her neighbors were not interested in this project, and that the cost without their aid, is prohibitive. She further stated that maintaining cess pools is running more than her local taxes, that her pro- perty is within the City Limits and she feels it is the City's responsibility to provide sewer service. City Manager Whitney was instructed to make a study of the problem and make a report on the situation in that area and present it to the next Informal Council Meeting. Mrs. Virginia Ridgeway appeared as a private citizen in connection with a purported 20 -million dollar Bayfront investment by a group of Mud'west Investors in which the City would be asked to sell them 62 25 acres of submerged land north of the Peoples Street T -Head She asked the Council if there is anything wrong with 11391 the proposal, and that she wanted to remind the ACTION PARTY of their Campaign promise to create a favorable climate for new industry, and in reference to articles appearing in the local newspaper, she stated that it seemed to her the calling of names is no way to encourage business, and asked the Council if they had been misquoted. She urged the Council to give this project considerable consideration and to be reluctant to turn away a 20 -million dollar hotel by creating an impression of hostility. Further stating that she had not seen such hostile attitude as has been demonstrated in the papers for the last few years. Mr. Phillip Albright also appeared as an individual citizen and spoke urging the Council to approach the potential investors with a positive attitude, stating that these kind of- propositions do not come often. He further stated that, as a former member of the Corpus Christi Tourist Association, it is his belief the "hotel and office building proposition" should not be discouraged but that a favorable climate should be created, that it would improve the appearance of the Bayfront, and attract tourists which would bring National prestige to Corpus Christi. dl Mr. Lon Messe14 r, Robstown farmer and Austin lobbyist, appeared stating that a lot of effort had gone into getting funds for constructing the Bayfront for the public's use and took a firm stand on keeping it for that purpose. He congratulated the Mayor and Councilmen on their reluctance to consider the proposition in its present state. Mayor King stated that the Legislature had placed a deed restriction on the Bayfront property to the effect that it can be for public use only; that the Legislature will have to remove those restrictions before it could be sold. He asked Mrs. Ridgeway "would she, as a candidate for the Legislature, vote to remove the deed restrictions on the Bayfront",""and would she recommend that the Bayfront be tied up for three years." Mrs. Ridgeway answered both questions affirmatively, but stated that it is the hostile attitude of the Council she is referring to. Mayor King stated he is not in favor of selling the Bayfront but if the people want it sold, it should be sold at competitive bids; in which event the sky would be the limit. He also pointed out that if that pro- cedure were followed the very best engineers and architects in the Country should be employed to pass on the plan; further, all that he had received so far is an ordinance with a letter of transmittal without a signature on it asking the City to deed away 62.25 acres in an emergency session. The contract does not mention earnest money and apparently they are only interested in getting a deed to the land and a part of the Seawall. He ex- hibited a map showing the vastness of the proposed project and pointed out how much of the downtown area the 62 - acres would cover - a 22 -block area bounded by Power and Laguna and Mesquite and Water Streets. The question was raised regarding the Glasscock property located off Shoreline, to which Mayor King stated that property is privately owned but that the Bayfront is City -owned property. In answer to Mrs. Ridgeway's statement "you as president of a large Company such as yours, should know that negotiations are a part of business transactions and that offers can be changed", Mayor King replied, "that is correct, and that is the reason I do not accept deals like this". Mayor King further advised that the Council is interested in the proposal but that more information is needed than has been presented by these groups; that nothing definite has been received and that the Council must have full information; that the determination of what the Legislature might do could stiffle the City's policy and the only way the City could get the land back would be to buy it. There being no further business to come before the Council the meeting was adjourned. I, E11roy King, Mayor of the City of Corpus Christi, certify that the foregoing minutes, same being for the period of December 23, 1959 through February 10 0, inclusive, and having been previously approved by Council action, are by me hereby approved.

Mayor King announced the Council would next take action on a pending item in connection with the Zoning Application of Victor Moses to change a tract of land out of the May Tract lying on the south side of Hayward Drive between W. B.'Ray Heights Subdivision and the southwest boundary of South Staples, being designated on a pre- liminary plat as Block 8, W. B. Ray Heights Unit 3, from "R-1" Single Family Dwelling District to "B-1" Neighbor- hood Business District, on which a Public Hearing was held on the 13th day of January, 1960. Motion by Humble, seconded by Airheart and passed that the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission be upheld to deny the foregoing application on the basis that the change would represent an encroach- ment on the existing residential area since its location is at a major entrance to an established neighborhood of one -family dwellings.

He further stated that the affected Department Heads, Zoning & Planning, Fire Department, Police Department and Public Works Department, had all been contacted and had approved the change. Mr. Robert E. Haegelin, attorney representing the petitioners, appeared, stating that the change meets with the general approval of the public; that it would complete the action of the County Commissioners to rename Navigation Boulevard and that it would be in the public interest. Mrs. Judy Gollnick, a resident of Dona Park Addition, protested the change on the grounds that she was under the impression it would give the street two names and create confusion, but later withdrew her objections following an explanation of the proposdd change. Motion by Pat J. Dunne, seconded by Barnard and passed, that the hearing be closed. Motion by Pat J. Dunne, seconded by Joe B. Dunne and passed, that the part of Navigation Boulevard, 408 beginning at the south boundary of Navigation Boulevard and Up River Road and continuing in a southerly direction to Baldwin Boulevard, be changed from Navigation Boulevard to Cantwell Drive.

(See Bid Tabu- lation YJ22 in File) Commissioner Airheart requested that the records show that she voted "Nay" on the foregoing Item (k) and that her objections be written into the records as follows: "I cannot approve disbursement of tax money or adoption fee money for the purpose of enabling anyone to further his or her education. I hold the City guilty of illegal disbursement of monies for this purpose since November 1, 1959. I presume that department head, Dr. Metzger, did not realize such authorization for payment to be illegal since he himself was the recepient of a like grant while on leave of absence for a year, such grant having been given by the previous Council. However, it does occur to me that the fault lies with the Director of Finance for not. having examined, investigated and reported to the City Manager and Council that such request for payment was illegal under Sections 20, 21 and 23 of Article IV of the City Charter. Quoting from Section 20 '...if the Director of Finance issues a warrant on the Treasury authorizing payment of any item for which no appropriation has been made...or. which is other- wise contrary to law or ordinance, he and his sureties shall be individually liable to the City for the amount thereof.' If N Mayor King read an opinion from City Attorney Singer which said the use of such funds is legal and not uncommon because the educational grants provide a better qualified employee. Motion by Barnard, seconded by Pat J. Dunne and passed, that an award. -of a_contract, in -,connection with Unit IV, Utilities and Paving Project, New Municipal Airport, be made to Heldenfels Brothers subject to the receipt of a Grant from the Federal Aeronautics Administration, of Federal participation funds, and that no work order be issued until the receipt of said grant. It was moved that the following changes be made in the Contract between the:City of Corpus Christi and the Corpus Christi Council of Garden Clubs, Inc.: Paragraph 4, Line 5. "the Garden Clubs" be amended to read "The Corpus Christi Council of Garden Clubs, Inc., and its member clubs." Paragraph 5, Line 6. "Council of Garden Clubs, Inc.," be amended to read "Corpus Christi Council of Garden Clubs, Inc.," Line 8. "Council of Garden Clubs, Inc.," be amended to_read . "Corpus Christi Council of Garden Clubs, Inc.," Paragraph 11, Line 4. Delete "by the Garden Clubs" and insert "by the - Corpus Christi Council of Garden Clubs, Inc., or its member clubs in the use of the premises" After Line 5, add "The.City agrees to replace or repair the premises in the event of damage to the facilities by fire, windstorm, hail and/or vandalism, to the extent of the proceeds from insurance coverage, if any, or to the extent of the value .of the building or damage to the building, whichever is the lesser, the value of the building being determined as of the date -of the.damage." Paragraphl3, to be deleted and replaced by "It is further agreed by and between the parties that certain limited areas for library, office, general storage, and pantry storage use may be reserved for ex- clusive use by the Corpus Christi Council of Garden Clubs, Inc.

Mayor King told Mr Homes that until the Federal Government releases certain airport funds,the City can not set a definite opening date Mr Robert Fagan, attorney representing Mrs A C Erler of Star Electric Co , 1905 Agnes Street, appeared and asked for temporary relief from a City Ordinance requiring that an electrical contracting shop have a master electrician on duty He stated that Mrs Erler's case is a hardship case and some provision should be made to permit the foreman of her shop, Mr Calvin Floyd, to continue employment with her until May 1 1960, when he would be eligible to make his third attempt to pass the Master Electrical Examination Mrs Erler appeared in her own behalf, explaining her problem to the Council Mayor King explained to Mr Fagan and his client that the City cannot lower its electrical standards by amending the ordinance every time a special case is presented, but stated this request would be taken under advisement There being no further business to come before the Council Meeting, the Meeting was adjourned REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING March 16, 1960 200 PM PRESENT Mayor Ellroy King Commissioners Dr James L Barnard Mrs Ray Airheart Joseph B.

He also made a formal presentation of a "Key to the City". Mayor King announced the opening of bids. Bids were opened and read on Sections "A" and "B" of the West Side Sewer Trunk Main, Unit IV, from the following firms: BurTex Construction Company T. H. Lee Heldenfels Brothers George Consolidated, Inc. Motion by Barnard, seconded by Pat J. Dunne and passed, that the foregoing bids be tabled for 48 hours t as required by the City Charter and referred to the City Manager for tabulation and recommendation. Mayor King announced the Council would hold a public hearing on the application of Mr. C. P. Kibby I et al to change the zoning of 21 acres out of Lot 2, Byron Willis Subdivision in Nueces County, Texas, lying 287 feet east of Weber Road and 225 feet south of Lexington Boulevard near Mary Carroll High School, from "R-1" One Family Dwelling District to "L-1" Light Industrial District. Edward Shaw, Zoning Coordinator, located the property on the map, gave the zoning background of the property in question and described its present uses in relation to the surrounding areas. He further stated that it was the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission to deny the application on the basis that it would have an adverse effect upon the adjacent, recently -annexed residential subdivision of Malibu Heights, and that safety and welfare of students who attend public schools in the vicinity would be jeopardized.by industrial zoning. Mr. Bob Sorrell, attorney representing Mr. Kibby, appeared and stated that his client planned to con- struct all -metal, fire -proof buildings to be used for industrial warehousing; that he intends to sell a part of the property to be used for a trucking headquarters. Mr. Sorrell pointed out that since a part of the property is located on a sanitary land fill, the property would never be suitable for residences; that they were willing to covenant that the land fill would not be built upon as it was their plan to use it for open storage; that members of the School Board had previously filed a complaint opposing the change, but has since withdrawn the objection. Mr. Bill Shireman, attorney, spoke in behalf of Mr. James C. Lowman, et al, stating that the area in question is surrounded on two sides by the land fill and on another side by industrial zoning, and in his opinion, it would not be practical to develop this area as residential, but that business and industry would bring higher taxes to the City and put the land to its best economic use. Mr. Sam Allen, who owns property in the area, appeared and stated that he is in favor of the appli- cation and concurred in the statements of Mr. Sorrell and Mr. Shireman. No one appeared in opposition to the foregoing application. Motion by Joe B. Dunn, seconded by Humble and passed, that the hearing be closed and that the matter be taken under advisement. Mayor King announced the Council would hold a public hearing on the application of Mr. Louis Dunnam to change the zoning of 5 acres, more or less, out of the J. C. Blacknall 400 -acres tract in Lot 1, Section 4, Bohemian Colony Lands and fronting 359 feet on Ayers Street lying 322 feet northeast of Lexington Boulevard, from "R-1" One Family Dwelling District and "B-3" Secondary Business District to "L -I" Light Industrial District. Edward Shaw located the property on the map and described its present uses in relation to adjacent properties, and stated that it was the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission that the application be denied on the basis that it would constitute spot zoning. He also pointed out that this particular property is one which is to be given special consideration in the Harland Bartholomew zoning Study and in their pre- liminary replat they had recommended industrial zoning for the land. Mr. Gordon Stewart, representing Mr. Dunnam, appeared and stated that the public hearing notice failed to give the complete zoning of the property; that in 1950 his client was granted "B-3" zoning fora strip of 414 land 200 feet in depth and when the Highway Department widened the interchange for Chapman Ranch Road and Lexington Boulevard they purchased 100 feet of this property, leaving a remainder of 100 feet zoned "B-3" and that this was not indicated as part of the change in the hearing notice.. Mr. Stewart stated that other businesses in the surrounding areas, including the Methodist Mission Board, are all in favor of the change of zoning. He pointed out that a higher rate of taxes than the property warrants will be imposed on his client if he is compelled to wait for the final Harland Bartholomew Report. No one appeared in opposition to the foregoing application. Motion by Barnard, seconded by Pat J. Dunne and passed, that the hearing be closed and that the matter be taken under advisement.

Mayor King read a proposed agreement, signed by Mr. Susser, in the nature of a covenant running with the land stipulating that certain things will be done to preserve the character of -the property in the area,''' concerning the foregoing request. Motion by Barnard , seconded by Pat J.

Mr. W.D.N. Langridge, of 4442 Kilgore Street, appeared and stated that he would like to go on record as opposing the action of the Council as prejucicial in favor of business, and setting a precedent of permitting a shopping center to be built immediately in front of residential property which would make second class citizens out of Kilgore Street residents.

Mr. Bryan Wingo, attorney representing Mr. Stahl, appeared and stated that there is other spot zoning in the area; that the lot is too large for One -Family residential use; that.the owner has recently paid over one thousand dollars for paving, and that in his opinion the land is suited only for Neighborhood Business Zoning. No one appeared,in opposition to the foregoing request. Motion by Humble, seconded by Barnard and passed that the hearing be closed and the matter be -taken under advisement.

Mr. Shaw located the property on the map and described its present uses,pointing out that Mr.Hall needed the zoning for parking space and installation of a barbecue pit; that it is the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission to approve the change since it will provide off-street parking and additional ex- pansion space for the present cafe operation. No one appeared in opposition to the foregoing request. Motion by Joe B. Dunn, seconded by Humble and passed that the hearing be closed and that the recom- mendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission be upheld to approve the zoning request of Mr . Hall. .

Mr. Williams introduced Mr. Perry Keesee, General Manager of Knolle Jersey Products Company, who congratulated the Mayor and Members of the City Council on their first anniversary, commended them for a very successful year, and expressed appreciation for a year of fine service to the community.

Mayor King announced the Council would hold a public hearing on the application of Joe Fernandez, and others, to re -zone Lots 24, 25, 26 and 27, Block 1, La Arboleda Subdivision, being that property located at 3034 through 3046, inclusive, Greenwood Drive, from "R-1" One Family Dwelling District to "B-1" Neighborhood Business District. Mayor King stated that this application had been referred back to the Zoning & Planning Commission because of the applicants' failure to appear in behalf of their application at the Commission's October 1959 Public Hearing, on the basis that it might be a prejudicial technicality of unanimous denial of the application by the Zoning & Planning Commission. Edward Shaw, Zoning Coordinator, located the property on the map and described its present uses in relation to the surrounding area. He stated it was the recommendation of the Zoning &.Planning Commission that the application be denied on the basis that it will constitute an extension of the existing business area which would tend to create undesirable strip type zoning, and further, that the property owners at the rear of the property in question would be adversely affected. 436 Mr. Eugene Coffey, attorney representing Mr. Fernandez, stated that his client wished to spend three or four thousand dollars to remodel an existing building on the lot to display and house home improvement materials and supplies for general remodelling. He further stated the applicants were advised to persuade other adjoining property owners to join in the application to avoid spot zoning, and that now it was being denied on the basis that it constitutes strip zoning. Mr. Coffey said those opposing the application objected because it would open the door to objectionable uses detrimental to the surrounding residential neighborhood such as beer taverns. He pointed out that his clients property would not be used for this purpose. No one appeared in opposition to the foregoing application. Motion by Joe B. Dunn, seconded by Humble and passed, that the hearing be closed and that the foregoing zoning request be taken under advisement. Mayor King announced the Council would hold a public hearing on the application of Mr. J. E. Chiles to re -zone Lots 1, 2, and 3, Chiles Subdivision Tract, being that property located at 4235 through 4251, inclusive, McArdle Road, from "R-1" One Family Dwelling District to "B-1" Neighborhood Business District. Edward Shaw located the property on the map and described its present uses. He stated it was the re- commendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission to deny the request on the basis that it would constitute a clear case of spot zoning. Mr. Virgil Howard, attorney representing Mr. Chiles, appeared and presented the Council with a "Petitioner's Brief" setting out reasons for the request; that the three lots sought to be re -zoned constitute an entire subdivision; that the tract was adapted to commercial uses prior to its annexation by the City and that most of the residences constructed in the neighborhood have been built subsequent to the construction of the business buildings, on the tract; that the business establishments now operating, including a grocery store, barber shop, beauty shop, service station and a sandwich shop, are non -conforming uses. He also presented a deed restriction for filing in the County Clerk's Office declaring a covenant binding on all. persons acquiring property in said Subdivision, that no establishment erected thereon may ever be used for the sale of beer, wine,, or other alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises. A petition containing 136 signatures of persons in the vici- nity favoring the request was filed with the City Secretary., Mr. Gene Thornton, owner of a grocery store; Mr. J. W. Bolin, operator of a barbershop,; Mr. J. E. Chiles, applicant; Mr. Walter Williams, business manager for Mr. Chiles; Mrs. Jim Burns and Mrs. Castles, all appeared in support of the zoning request.

Dunne and passed, that the hearing be closed and that the zoning application of Mr. Chiles be taken under advisement. Mr. Frank Klein, representing the Central Business District Association, appeared in connection with the CBDA request to reduce overparking fines from One Dollar to 25 cents in the central business shopping areas, and requested that the Council also approve free parking all over the City on a 30 -day trial basis, on Saturday• afternoons. He stated that parking lot owners had been contacted and that they were willing to cooperate with the .Association. Mr. Conway Craig, CBDA Member, appeared and stated that a similar program is presently on trial in the City of San Antonio and that the merchants report it to be a tremendous success. Mayor King advised Mr. Klein and Mr. Craig that the matter would be given consideration at the next In- formal Meeting of the Council. Mayor King announced the Council would next hear the City Manager's Reports. Motion by Barnard, seconded by Humble and passed, that the City Manager's requests and recommendations be granted and approved relative to the following: (a) That an award of a bid on 1,100 Adjustable Valve Box Extensions be made to Dallas Foundry, Inc., on the basis of the low bid meeting specifications, in the amount of $5,775.00; (See Bid Tabulation #29 in File) 43'7 (b) That an award of a bid on various items and sizes of Tapping Sleeves with Tapping Valves be made to San Antonio Machine & Supply Company on the basis of the low bid meeting specifications, for a total sum of $3,715.26; (See Bid Tabulation #30 in File) Fire Hose; (c) That the City Manager be authorized to advertise for bids to be received April 27, 1960, on 5,000' of (d) That the City Manager be authorized to advertise for bids to be received April 27, 1960, on estimated 1 Requirements for the period of May 1, 1960, through July 31, 1960; (e) That an award of a bid on One Special Crew Truck Body, complete and mounted on 1-1/2 Ton Cab & Chassis, F.O.B.

Dunne Aye R. A. Humble Aye Gabe Lozano, Sr. Aye Mayor King invited anyone in the audience with petitions or information for the Council to come forward and be heard. Mr. Mose Cummins appeared with a group of men who represented the Independent Brotherhood of Electrical Technicians (Repairmen who operate Home Workshops or take service calls from their homes) and presented the Council with a Petition containing approximately 900 signatures, requesting that the City'sZoning Ordinance be amended to permit the operation of home workshops in residential areas as long as there is no public nuisance created or complaints by neighbors. (The petition came as a result of a recent protest by Radio and TV Repairmen against home repair workshops, after which the City's Legal Department mailed warning letters for violation of the Zoning Ordinance.) (See Petition #6 in File) City Attorney I. M. Singer stated that no one has been prosecuted and that if there•is.a possibility that the Zoning Ordinance will be amended, only extreme cases creating nuisances will be prosecuted. Mayor King stated that he does not favor a large scale zoning change to -allow home repairs because it would constitute a broad field and would take in more than radio & TV and small appliance repairmen; that each case would have to be. -handled on its own merits. Mayor King advised that, since the Zoning Ordinance is presently being revised, the matter will be referred to the City Manager for study and recommendation for submission to the Zoning & Planning Commission. Mr. James R. Brown, a refrigeration repairman, appeared and stated that he had purchased several hundred II, refrigeratprs sometime ago, and that after selling the good ones, he had stored the- bad ones on his three 'residential lots in the 2800 block of Lexington and that the City has given him seven days to remove them from the lots. He stated that he has tried unsuccessfully to find a place to dump these refrigerators; that he is not allowed to use the City Dump because of the bulk of them; that he has offered them to the Game and Fish Commission to be used for a reef and that they had refused them; that he is at a loss to know what to do and, therefore, requested additional time to remove them from a residential area. The matter was referred to the City Manager for study and recommendation. Mr. J. J. Hardy appeared with a group of residents of South Naylor Circle and presented the Council with a petition containing 28 signatures, requesting that such measures as are necessary be taken to stop noise and oily steam coming from the Parr Block Company located at 3822 Agnes Street. Mr. Hardy produced a tape recording of the noise which he said was recorded from his bedroom window at 2:30 A.M. Several other residents spoke concurring in the statements of Mr. Hardy. (See Petition #7 in File) 464 Motion by Humble, seconded by Airheart and -passed, that the matter be referred to the City Manager for study and that a report be made at the workshop meeting before next week's Regular Meeting.; - Mr. Jack Davis, president of the Corpus Christi Beach Civic Improvement Association, appeared and reminded the Council that the deadline for obtaining a public hearing before the Army Corps of Engineers on hurricane pro- tection for Corpus Christi will expire on July 1, 1961. He urged that the.Council attempt to obtain a hearing be- fore that time. The hearing would determine whether the Federal Government woul,dshare in the cost of a beach pro- tection project. Mayor King advised Mr. Davis that City Manager Whitney and ..members of the City'Staff had just completed a report in connection with the beach protection project and that it is ready for Council study, and that the Council will follow through on this matter as soon as the files can be studied. Mr. Clifford Cosgrove, 2625 Riggan, who last week threatened to sue the City and School Board over their tax settlement with the Parkdale Plaza Company, appeared and publicly apologized to the Council. He stated that he had acted hastily and since he had made his threat publicly he felt he should apologize publicly. Mayor King thanked Mr. Cosgrove and stated the apology was appreciated. There being no further business to come before the Council, the Meeting was adjourned. or Pro Tem Dr. James L. Barnard Commissioners: Mrs. Ray Airheart Joseph B. Dunn Patrick J. Dunne R. A.

Dunne, that the application be approved in its entirety and that the 3.968 acre tract be rezoned "B-3" Secondary Business District in accordance with the application.

Mrs. Myers was advised that it was in violation of the City's Ordinance setting out the rental policy for the Exposition Hall, and that if free use were granted to one fraternal organization, it would open the door for other similar requests. She asked that it be reconsidered, but if it is not possible to use the Exposition Hall, asked permission to have a portion of the downtown streets roped off by the police. She was advised to make these arrangements with the Chief of Police.

Mr. Peterson appeared before the Council on June 1, 1960, complaining that the right-of-way on South Staples is so near his station that he is unable to erect advertising signs. Mayor King explained to Mr. Peterson that Mr. Singer serves the City in a legal advisory capacity, that the Council had referred the matter to him for his legal opinion as to what could be done, and that Mr. Singer had advised the Council in a memorandum that the placing of advertising signs in the City's right-of-way would liable the City and that the signs might create an unsafe condition to which the City should not be a party.

PRESENT: Mayor Ellroy King Commissioners: Dr. James L. Barnard Joseph B. Dunn Patrick J. Dunne R. A.

Singer Acting City Secretary Doris Francis Mayor Ellroy King called the meeting to order. The Invocation was given by Dr. Wallace Rogers of Parkdale Baptist Church. Acting City Secretary Mrs. Doris Francis called the roll of those in attendance. Motion by Barnard, seconded by Humble and passed, that the absence of Mrs. Ray Airheart be excused. Motion by Lozano, seconded by Pat J. Dunne and passed, that the Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting of June 8, and Special Council Meeting of June 13, 1960, be approved. Mayor King announced the opening of bids. Bids were opened and read on the Rehabilitation of Gas Mains and Service Lines in the Del Mar Area from the following firms: 4%8 W. R. Cook Air Conditioning Raymond L. Dugat Co. Petty Construction Co. Mayor King directed that the bid submitted by Brown & Root on the foregoing project be returned unopened to the bidder due to the fact that no pre -qualification questionaire had been received in the City Secretary's Office, in accordance with the City Ordinance covering bids set forth in the bid specifications. Motion by Humble, seconded by Pat J. Dunne and passed, that the foregoing bids be tabled for 48 hours as required by the City Charter and referred to the City Manager for tabulation and recommendation. Mayor,King announced that the appointment on June 8, 1960, of Mr. H. W. Rosema to the Civil Service Board was invalid due to the Charter provision requiring residence of 3 years immediately prior to appointment to this Board, and nominated in his place, Mr. Arthur L. Elliott. Motion by Joe B. Dunn, seconded by Humble and passed, that Mr. Arthur L. Elliot be.appointed to serve a 3 -year term on the Civil Service Board replacing Mr. Everett L. Williams whose term expires June 15, 1960. Motion by Barnard, seconded by Pat J. Dunne and passed, that Mr. Ralph Sherwin, Jr., and Mr. William H. Cousins be appointed to serve 2 -year terms on the Zoning & Planning Commission; and that Mr..James A. Broderick and Mr. Horton Pruett be reappointed for,2-year terms, all effective June 22, 1960. Mayor King announced the Council would hold a public hearing on the application of.Paul Koepke to re -zone property having a depth of.158 feet, plus or minus, located on the southeast side of Kostoryz Road between Houston Street and Brawner Parkway, more fully described by metes and bounds in the Public Hearing File of the Zoning and Planning Office, from "R-1" Single Family Residence to "B-1" Neighborhood Business District. Mayor King stated that it was the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission that the request be approved subject to proper platting and a 3:1 parking to building ratio for each lot. William Anderson, Director of Zoning & Planning Department, located the property on the map and described its present uses in relation to the surrounding territory. Mr. Paul Koepke, applicant, explained the proposed development for this property for Clifford Jackson Funeral Home, a washateria and a service station, and stated that a 3:1 parking ratio would be maintained. No one appeared in opposition. Motion by Pat J. Dunne, seconded by Humble and passed, that the hearing be closed. Motion by Barnard, seconded by Pat J. Dunne and passed, that the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission be upheld and that the application of Mr. Koepke be approved subject to proper platting and a 3:1 parking to building ratio for each lot. Mayor King announced the Council would hold a public hearing on the application of Mr. Oscar Wyatt, Jr., to re -zone Lots 2 through 8, Alameda Shopping.Center, being that property located on the northeast corner of Roberts Drive and Alameda Street, from "B-1" Neighborhood Business District to "B-3" Secondary Business District. Mayor King stated it was the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission that the request be ap- proved subject to an exceptable plat and the provision of at least 7 parking spaces per bowling -lane. Mr. William Anderson located the property on the map, pointed out the usage of the surrounding area, explained that the existing "B-3" and "B-1" zoning as shown on the plat allow for the construction and operation of a 24 -lane bowling alley, and that the request was for the purpose of�having the entire tract zoned "B-3" so that the bowling lane operation could be expanded to 48 -lanes and relocated on the tract. He further called the Council's attention to the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission with regard to bowling alleys being placed under Special Uses in the proposed Zoning Ordinance since it might have some bearing on the Council's thinking in connection with this,application. 479 Mr. Ellis Brown, attorney representing Mr. Wyatt, presented a plat pointing out the existing "B-3" zoning and position of the 24 -lane bowling alley operation approved by -the previous Council and indicated the proposed new location of a 48 -lane bowling alley construction. He explained that the construction area needed for the proposed lanes was 35,000 square feet and that the rest of the tract was to provide a parking ratio of 3.8 to 1 which would fulfill the recommended requirement of 7 car spates per alley. He presented aerial photos of the tract and a City map indicating the area covered by the photos, and presented a mimeographed, unsigned handbill which he stated had been sent registered mail to all surrounding property owners, urging opposition to the application, but that only 1 property owner had opposed the application. Mayor King questioned the need for zoning the entire tract as "B-3" if only 35,000 square feet is needed for the building and the advisability of so zoning, on the basis that if the proposed bowling lane operation plans were not completed, the entire area would still be zoned for other uses conceivably undesirable in that area. He further stated that in view of statements, which he read, from letters received from The Prudential Insurance Company of America and from the Brunswick Corporation that less than 7 car spaces per lane would be inadequate and that during peak hours 8 or 9 spaces would be needed, that he was not satisfied with the pro- posed parking ratio, and that he was not in favor of granting the request in its present form, and even more hesitant to re -zone such a large tract of land without knowing the recommended development for the entire area. Mr. Richard Landsman of San Antonio, developer of Town & Country Shopping Center adjacent to the property in question, and approximately 35 business owners, operators, or their representatives, spoke in favor of the application on the basis that such an operation is needed in that part of town, that it is a compatible business to those already existing in the area, and that they would welcome any overflow of parking near their businesses. Mr. Harold Alberts, attorney representing himself and Mr. M. G. Targosz, 4330 Delano, whose property backs up to the applicant's, opposed the application on the basis that there is more than sufficient undeveloped secondary business zoning in the City; that, in his opinion, the support evidenced at this hearing is basically to prevent the establishment of competitive businesses on this tract; and pointed out that the parking ratio requirement could not be accomplished, since the construction was to be a two-story building with 7,000 square feet on the second floor, of which the Council had not been informed, and, therefore, the applicant was pro- posing 42,000 square feet of building area and not 35,000. Mr. Brown stated that he does not believe there is another tract of "B-3" land in the City suitable for a 48 -lane bowling alley; that the ground area of construction was 35,000 square feet with a second floor of 7,000 square feet and balcony overlookingithe.ibowJirig area;--thattthe.--recommended 7;cat spaces for each bowling lane could positively be met; and that the applicant would deed restrict all of the tract to permit parking only with the exception of the 35,000 square feet of ground area on which the building housing the bowling lanes was con- structed. Motion by Humble, seconded by Pat J. Dunne and passed that the hearing on the foregoing application be closed and that the matter be taken under advisement. Mayor King announced the Council would hold a public hearing on the application of York Rite Masonic Bodies for a Special Council Permit to erect a Masonic Lodge Building on Lots 8, 9, and 10, Block U. Maretta Terrace Addition, being located on the northeast corner of Baldwin Boulevard and Terrace Street. Mayor King stated that it was the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission that the foregoing application be approved, waiving the 25 -foot rear yard requirement and subject to restricting the building area to a total of 4400 square feet. Mr. Anderson pointed out the location of the property on the map and showed a plat of the proposed building. 480 No one appeared in opposition to the foregoing application. Mr. Hodge Thompson, attorney representing the applicant, appeared and presented the Council with con- struction plans of the proposed building and its relationship to the site area. He estimated the building to cost $80,000, and stated that the plans providing for off-street parking for approximately thirty cars is suf- ficient and that according to the average attendance of the three York Rite Bodies, parking presented no problem, and that they are ready to begin construction immediately. He called attention to an error in calculating the building area and requested 5044 square feet instead of 4400 as appears in the original application and as pre- sented to the Zoning & Planning Comission,which was corrected. Motion by Pat J. Dunne, seconded by Humble and passed, that the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission be upheld and that the request of York Rite Masonic Bodies for a Special Council Permit to erect a building on the foregoing described property be approved waiving the 25 -foot rear yard requirement and subject to restricting the building area to a total of 5044 square feet. Mayor King announced the Council would next hear the City Manager's Reports. Motion by Barnard, seconded by Pat J. Dunne and passed, that the City Manager's requests and recommendatio s be granted and approved relative to the following: (a) That an award of a bid on estimated one year's supply of Tabulating Machine Cards for the period beginning August 1, 1960, and ending July 31, 1961, be made to International Business Machines Corporation in the amount of $9,962.27 on the basis of their bid being most advantageous to the City; (See Bid Tabulation #42 in File); (b) That an award of a bid on One Davis Model T-66 Trenching Machine for use in the Gas Division, be made to McCormic Farm Equipment Store in.the amount of $2,130,00, on the basis that their bid was deemed most advantageous to the City; (See Bid Tabulation #43 in File); (c) That an award of a bid on an estimated one year's supply of Firemens' Uniforms be made to Creighton Shirt Company, Inc., for a total sum of $32'212,48, on the basis of bid being most advantageous to the City; (See Bid Tabulation #44 in File); (d) That the City Manager be authorized to advertise for bids to be received June 29, 1960, on various quantities and sizes of AAMB Batteries; (e) That the City Manager be authorized to advertise for bids to be received on June 29, 1960, on various sizes and quantities of tires for estimated requirements to April 16, 1960, or until the end of State Contract with suppliers; (f) That Plans and Specifications for the construction of Holly Road Water Lines, Project No. 202-59-23, be approved, and that the City Manager be authorized to advertise for bids to be received on July 13, 1960; (g) That Plans and Specifications for Booty Street Improvements, Project No. 220-53-37, be approved and that the City Manager be authorized to advertise for bids to be received on July 6, 1960; (h) That the Tax Error and Correction List for May, 1960, be approved.

Mayor King announced the Council would hold a public hearing on the application of Ray Peterson to re- Gulfgate Unit 1, being that property located at the northeast corner of the intersection of Airline Road and Lexington Boulevard from "B-1" Neighborhood Business District to "B-3" Secondary Business District. William Anderson, Director of Zoning & Planning, located the property on the map and described its present uses in relation to the surrounding territory. Ray Peterson appeared in behalf of his application -and stated that at the time Gulfway Shopping Center was constructed, Secondary Business zoning was requested but that only Neighborhood Business zoning had been granted, and as a consequence, it has been necessary to go before the Board of Adjustment and the Commission to obtain approval for various signs and other activities. He further stated that he is requesting "B-3" zoning to allow normal and orderly expansion of the shopping center as was originally proposed. He presented a sketch of the proposed expansion and presented the Council with a letter approving a $1,100,000 loan to finance the new construction; that he is negotiating for a large department store and expects to eventually add a bank to the center. No one appeared in opposition to the request. Motion by Barnard, seconded by Humble and passed, that the hearing be closed and that the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission be upheld and that the change from "B-1" Neighborhood Business District to "B-3" Secondary Business District be approved as a very logical development of Secondary Business District which is needed in this area; and approved with the understanding that the property will be used for establishment of a bank and a major department store. Mayor King announced the Council would hold a public hearing on the application of J. T. Mahoney to re- zone Lots 2 and 3, Block 8, Carroll Lane Park Unit 2, being that property located adjacent south of the Continen- tal Service Station at 3601 South Staples, from "B-1" Neighborhood Business District, to "B-3" Secondary Business District. William Anderson located the property and explained that the request is for the use of -the two lots for construction of a 10 -unit trampoline center; and if the trampoline center is discontinued the applicant would be agreeable for the zoning status of this property to revert to "B-1" Neighborhood Business. The question was raised as to whether or not -the legal advertising of the hearing would suffice in light of the action of the Zoning Commission in recommending that a temporary Special Council Permit be approved in lieu of the requested zoning. Assistant City Attorney Schrader stated that, in his opinion, the Legal Notice would be sufficient since the recommendation is for lesser zoning. No one appeared in opposition to the application. Motion by Joe B. Dunn, seconded by Barnard and passed, that the hearing be recessed until next week to permit a clarification of the legal points raised. (See subsequent action following the next item of business.) Mayor King announced the Council would hold a public hearing on the application of Ennis Joslin and Roy Smith to re -zone Lots 7 and 8, Section 3, of the Flour Bluff and Encinal Farm and Garden Tracts in Nueces County, containing approximately 3.05 acres, being that property located at the southwest corner of McArdle Road and South Staples Street, and being more fully described by metes and bounds in the Eublic Hearing File of the Zoning & Planning Office, from "R-1" Single Family Dwelling District to "B-3" Secondary Business District. William:.Anderson.:located'.the-:property on the map and reviewed the proposed development of the property and the action of the Zoning Commission; No one appeared in opposition to the application. Motion by Humble, seconded by Pat J. Dunne and passed, that the hearing be closed and that the property be zoned "B-3" Secondary Business District limited to the construction of a filling station and a 24 -lane bowling alley. Mayor King suggested that, in order to avoid a delay in connection with the application of J. T. Mahoney, that the Council consider some action on the matter as the Council may desire, subject to the filing of the required application and appropriate agreements with reference to reversion of the use of the property. Motion by Joe B. Dunn, seconded by Barnard and passed, that a Special Council Permit be granted for the construction of the trampoline center for a period of 2 years subject to appropriate legal documents being executed and filed with reference to the application and reversion of zoning upon abandonment of the trampoline center. Mayor King announced the Council would next hear the City Manager's Reports. City Manager Whitney made the following recommendations: (a) That acceptance and payment of Final Estimate No. 19 in the amount of $41,284.90, be made to Bur -Tex Constructors, Inc., representing the net balance due the Contractor for construction of Unit No. I of the Wests . 1 489 Sewer Trunk System, which recognizes retainage in the amount of $4,854,33 for settlement of possible claims against the Contract; (b) That Plans and Specifications for the proposed Airport Ditch Storm Sewer Improvement, Unit I of project No. 295-53-6 be approved and that the City Manager be authorized to advertise for bids to be received July 20, 1960; (c) That the City Manager be authorized to advertise for bids to be received on July 13, 1960, for various quantities of:Blueprint Service for a 6 -month period, August 1, 1960, through January 31, 1961; (d) That the City Manager be authorized to advertise for bids to be received on July 13, 1960, on an estimated 12 -month supply of Water Treating Chemicals for the period of August 1, 1960, through July 31, 1961; (e) That the free parking for Saturday afternoons which has been on a 60 -day trial basis, be changed to allow free parking all day on Saturdays and that the penalty for over -parking revert to $1.00; (f) That the date of July 13, 1960, be set for a public hearing on the closing of that portion of Laredo Avenue from the east boundary line of Bluntzer Street (formerly Steele Avenue) extended in a northerly direction to the north line of Laredo Avenue to the east or northeast extension of the east or northeast boundary line of Lot 1, Block 1, Steele Addition to the City of Corpus Christi, Texas, extended in a northerly direction to the north line of Laredo Avenue; (g) That the date of July 20, 1960, be set for a public hearing in connection with changing of the name or designation of what is now described as the street extending from Buford Street to Cooper Street, some- times called "Water Street" and sometimes called "Ocean Drive" (h) That $112,047.82 retained under the Braselton Construction Company Contract for the construction of the Terminal and Operations Building at the Airport, be paid to them leaving a balance of $20,000.00 retainage which is considered ample for the incompleted items of the contract. Mr. Frank Klein, Chairman of the Central Business Association, appeared in opposition to the proposed action of the Council in connectionTwith the reversion to $1.00 parking fines and allowing all day free parking on Saturdays. He urged the Council to continue the 25 -cent fines and stated that the CBDA does not want all -day free parking on Saturdays; that they are requesting the continuance of the present plan as has been in effect the past 60 days.

Mayor King read the recommendation as submitted by the Zoning & Planning Commission that the request be approved as a minority report to the City Council. William Anderson, Director of Zoning & Planning, located the property on the map and described its present uses in relation to the surrounding territory., Mr. J. S. Naismith, engineer, stated that Mr. Block°and Mr. Grossman wished to develop their pro- perties jointly. He presented two plans, one which permitted residential lots to front on Carmel Parkway and backing up to the Center; the other presenting a planting strip and serpentine masonry wall set back 30 feet from Carmel Parkway and screening the Center from homes located across the parkway, and that the proposed development includes a 50,000 square foot building with provision for 290 cars or'a 3:1 parking ratio. A statement was read from Mr. C. V. Guzman, member of the Zoning & Planning Commission who was absent when the Zoning & Planning Commission made its recommendation, stating that he is definitely in favor of the zoning request.- James R. Dinn, Jack Ryan, John Thomason, Joe Roscoe, Quincy Baker, W. C. Echols and Curtiss Bell, representing building and trades industries & individuals, appeared in support of the application stating the development would be an asset to the City; that South Staples Street is destined to be a business area; that the proposed development is a logical and desirable extension of the adjacent "B-1" Neighborhood Busi-. • ness District, and that architects and other businessmen concur that the proposal is the soundest plan presented for the development of the Carmel -Staples Corner. Further, that the proposed development is`en- d.orsed by the Associated General Contractors, the Carpenters Union, and the Building and Construction Trades Council. Those appearing and speaking in opposition to the application were: Bob Cantwell, Mrs. William Lowe, Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Liles, Mr. and Mrs. John Haynie, W. T. Latham, Johnny Stevenson, and Mrs. Royce Homer. Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Medlin, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Snicer and Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Wilshusen, voiced their op- position by telephone, all residents and homeowners of the surrounding area in question and opposing the requested zoning change on the grounds that it would be an encroachment on the residential area; that there is no public need for the proposed shopping center;'.that it would create a traffic hazard and undue noise and the many other accompanying undesirable conditions created by the establishment of a business district 493 adjacent to residences, and further, that the Zoning & Planning Commission has denied the request, and are qualified to make the decision. Motion by Humble, seconded by Barnard and passed, that the hearing be closed and that the matter be taken under advisement. " Mayor King announced the Council would hold a public hearing on the application of Dr. Lorellis Sherrill to re -zone Lots 13, 14, 15, & 16, Block 7, Bayview Addition, being that property located at 1216 through 1230, inclusive, Third Street, from "A-2" Second Apartment House District to "B-3" Secondary Business District. William Anderson located the property on the map and presented the proposed plans for an L-shaped building containing four suites to house dental, optical, medical facilities and office space. He further explained that altough doctor's buildings are allowed in the present zoning, business zoning is needed for space such as in- surance offices, dental and optical laborat©ries. No one appeared in support of or in opposition to the application. Motion by Joe B. Dunn, seconded by Pat J. Dunne and passed, that the recommendation of the Zoning & Plan- ning Commission be upheld and that the zoning be changed to "B-1" Neighborhood Business instead of "B-3" Se Business as requested on the basis that "B-1" zoning will provide all the uses contemplated by the applicant, and also, that a time limit to commence construction will be within one year.

Mayor King stated it was the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission that the application be denied on the basis that "B-1" Neighborhood Business zoning,would represent an undesirable intrusion into the neighborhood. William Anderson located the property on the map and described its present uses. Mr. Lawrence Berger, attorney representing Mrs. W. G. McKenzie, Mr. Guy Winstead, and a Mr. Hackley, the property owners, appeared and presented their plans for the tracts of land involved. He stated that a day nur- sery, a service station, a drug store and possibly a doctor's clinic, and a beauty parlor are proposed. He further stated that some of the lots are now occupied by non -conforming uses; that he is of the opinion that business uses are becoming dominant; that the deed restrictions applying to this property have recently expired and that the encroachment on the residential area had taken place a long time ago. Mr. and Mrs. McKenzie appeared in behalf of the application, pointing out the business activity in the neighborhood, such as pedestrians walking across their property from one business to another; that they are disturbed all hours of the day and night by telephones ringing, burglar alarms, food store lights, music boxes, and heavy traffic.

Mayor King announced the Council would next take action on a pending item in connection with the ap- plication of Abe Block & Simon Grossman to re -zone a portion of the south 5.94 -acre tract of land ott of Tract II, Paisley Subdivision, the Hoffman Tract, being located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Carmel Parkway and South Staples Street, being more fully described by metes and bounds in the Public Hearing File of the Zoning & Planning Office, from "R-1" Single Family Dwelling District to "B-1" Neighborho 9 Business District, on which a public hearing was held on July 6, 1960. Motion by Barnard, seconded by Pat J. Dunne and passed., that the foregoing zoning application be grante subject to: -the condition that a 6 -foot serpentine masonry wall be erected along Carmel Parkway to separate the shopping center from the residential area, and that substantial construction be begun within six months and ?:persued-; to completion with due diligence. Commissioner Airheart voted "Nay", stating she favored the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission, and that she firmly believed the request was not in the best interest of the public. Mayor King stated that he would recommend that, in the adoption of the new zoning ordinance, the Zoning Cofunission and the City Council be governed by the same rule in the granting or denying of zoning ap- plications; that he feels that if the Zoning Commission can act by a simple majority vote, the Council should be able to also, and if not, a 75 per cent majority should be required of the zoning commission as it is of the Council. He pointed out that in the case of the application of Abe Block and Simon Grossman, the Com- mission recommended denial by a four -to -three vote with two members absent when -the vote was taken, and had two Council members opposed the application, a majority vote of five would still have been in favor, but it would have been denied. Mayor King announced the Council would take action on a pending item in connection with the application of Lawrence Berger to re -zone Lots 20 through 27, Block 6,; Lots 1, 2, and 15, Block 8, Koolside Addition, being that property on both sides of Adel Street, facing on Airline Road in the 800 and 900 Blocks, from "R-1" Single Family Dwelling District to "B-1" Neighborhood Business District-,, on which a public hearing was held on July 6, 1960. Motion by Joe B. Dunn, seconded by Airheart and passed that the recommendation of the Zoning & Plan- ning Commission be upheld and that the application be denied on the basis that "B-1" Business zoning would represent an undesirable intrustion into the neighborhood. Commissioner Pat J. Dunne voted "Nay." Mayor King announced the Council would hold a public hearing on the application of Driscoll Foundation Crippled Childrens' Hospital for an amendment to their Special Council Permit for future enlargement of existing facilities, plans for such enlargement to be found in the Public Hearing File of the Zoning & Plan- ning Office; and a change of zoning of property located at 3533 South Alameda, fronting 900 feet along the northwest side of Alameda and having a depth of 963 feet, more fully described in the Public Hearing File of the Zoning & Planning Office, be changed from "R-1" One Family Dwelling District to "A-2" Second Apartment House District. J01 William Anderson, Director of Zoning & Planning, located the property on the map and pointed out the existing site plan and described the plan for new buildings. He stated it was the feeling of the Zoning & Plan- ning Commission that the granting of this amendment to the Special Council Permit would permit maximum flexib- ility necessary to expedite construction of additional hospital facilities. No one appeared in opposition to the request. Motion by Barnard, seconded by Airheart and passed, that the'request be granted subject to: (1) Provision of a minimum 60 -foot setback on the south property line, and with a minimum of a 20 -foot setback on the west and north property lines; and (2) That provision be made for adequate landscaping and drainage. Dr. McIver Furman, Trustee of the Driscoll Foundation, appeared and stated the conditions were agreeable and thanked the Council for "helping the Foundation to help crippled childred." Mayor King announced the Council would hold a public hearing ori a request to close that portion of Laredo Avenue from the East boundary line of Bluntzer Street (formerly Steele^Avenue) extended in a northerly direction to the north line of Laredo Avenue to the east or northeast extension of'the east or northeast boundary line of Lot 1, Block 1, Steele Addition, to.the City of Corpus Christi, Texas, extended in a northerly direction to the north line of Laredo Avenue. City Manager Whitney located the street in question on the map and stated that the affected City Departments had been contacted and that they interpose no objections to the closing of the street if the easement rights are protected. No one appeared opposing the request. Motion by Humble, seconded by Pat J. Dunne and passed, that the portion of Laredo Street described above be closed, subject to the provision that a 10' easement be retained for the sanitary sewer line or that the owners pay the costs of relocating the utility lines that are in the street. Mayor King announced the Council would hear the City Manager's Reports. City Manager Whitney first reviewed the proposed 1960-61 Budget of the Public Utilities Department, inc the Water Division, Gas Division, and Sewer Division. He summarized the budget in general, stating that it is substantially the same program as the previous year and that no increase of rates is contemplated at present; he pointed out, however, that an expansion program of unusual magnitude could alter the situation; that revenues from the water system and sewer system showed a decrease during the past year due to excessive rainfall, but'is offset by the increase in gas revenues due to the unusually cold weather.

Mr. Walter Lewright, attorney for Coastal States Gas Producing Company and Southern Coast Corporation, appeared and requested that the Council call for competitive bids for a gas supply contract, instead of nego- tiating, in order that citizens will know whether the price agreed on was the best obtainable. He further stated that the firms he represents want a chance to bid on a future gas supply contract for the City. Mr, Stanton Bell, President of the Chamber of Commerce, appeared and asked that the Council consider a coordinated program with the Chamber of Commerce and include in the current budget money for the purpose of advertising by publishing a color brochure listing city -sponsored recreational facilities to accelerate the City's tourist and convention trade. Mayor King suggested that the City Manager meet with Mr. Bell and Mrs. J. S. Naismith, Chairman of the Park and Recreation Board and work together on a plan„ and determine whether existing brochures can be used if altered. There being no further business to come before the Council, the meeting was adjourned. PRESENT: Mayor Ellroy King Commissioners: Dr. James L. Barnard Mrs. Ray Airheart Joseph B. Dunn Patrick J.

Ben McDonald, representing Inland Transport Company, appeared and stated that the bid submitted by Inland Transport Company takes the place of one previously made and submitted December 21, 1959. Howard Suddeth, representing Corpus Christi Transportation Company appeared and requested the Council to consider the bids in the light of type of equipment available and quality of service afforded.

Mayor King announced the Council would hold a public hearing on the designation of a street name of the street extending from Buford Street to Cooper Street, sometimes called "Water Street" and sometimes called 'Ocean Drive." Mr. William Anderson, Director of Zoning & Planning, described the area involved and presented a summary background to the issue. He stated that several ordinances to change the street to "W, -ter" have been proposed, but never passed, and that the only official record he could locate was a map filed in 1945 which listed the street as m 507 "Water Street." He further stated it was the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Office to officially change the name to "Water Street" as a logical extension to Water Street which now ends at Cooper Street. Mrs. E. L. Caldwell, living at 911 Ocean Drive, and. son, F. C. Caldwell, appeared and protested the re- commendation. They presented arguments to show that the street is and should be named Ocean Drive; that the fact that some businesses along the street advertise it as "Water" does not modify the situation since they should have learned its true name. Mrs. Caldwell requested that a letter from former Mayor A. C.McCaughan and former Finance Commissioner Jos. Mireur to the effect that the street in question is Ocean Drive be made a matter of record. Gordon Stewart appeared representing his mother, Mrs. Nettie Stewart, whose address is 1019 Ocean Drive, and stated that she has been a resident for one-half century and that she would like to see the street changed to the name "Bayview Avenue" as it was originally platted. Mrs. T. H. Sanders, 1010 Ocean Drive, appeared and stated that when she purchased her property the street was called "Bayview," and that she would prefer it be again named "Bayview." Motion by Joe B. Dunn, seconded by Humble and passed., that the hearing be closed and that the matter be taken under advisement. Mayor King announced the Council would hear the City Manager's Reports. City Manager Whitney first reviewed the proposed 1960-61 Budget of the City's Department of General Gov- ernment, Aviation, Public Safety and Library. He summarized the budget in general and stated it is substant the same program as the previous year with a few exceptions; that the City Council, City Secretary, Corporation gaff Court and Finance Director and Civil Service is almost identical to that of last year with no significant/c anges anticipated. Two elections are expected in connection with the Office of City Secretary. In the Finance Department, including Accounting, Purchasing and Collection Section, Mr. Whitney stated the only significant changes include the transfer of one account clerk, grade 12, from Purchasing to Accounting; reclassification of two accounting positions, and the addition of one senior accountant, Grade 29; reclassifica- tion of one assistant buyer in Purchasing from Grade 18 to Grade 20. Mr. Whitney stated the Department of Aviation requests an increase, due to the closing of Cliff Maus Air- port, and moving to and activating the New International Airport; that a minimum budgetwith flexibility is recommended, which may be either up or down as problems develop. The budget for Department of Public Safety, including Firefighting, Police, Civil Defense and Humane Department, provide for some personnel changes due to achievement pay increases, step increases, and new person- nel; replacement of new vehicles and equipment in the Police Division. Mr. Whitney summarized the Library budget to include $30,000 for new books,.$377.00 for circulation desk extension, $133.00 for book truck, $230.00 for dictating machine, $382.00 for steel book stacks; total requested budget in the sum of $140,603.00; which does not include $18,000 for bookmobile. He stated there are -no sig- nificant changes in personnel. A group of supporters of the La Retama Public Library, including members of the Library Board, appeared made an appeal for more funds, and urged. the Council to restore the Library's Budgqt to its original request. They particularly requested more money for books andwere concerned about the safety condition of the bookmobile; also, pointed out that the postage allowance had been cut $100.00 in the face of the fact that they had plans to expand this phase of the operation next year. 508 Kemp Adams, Assistant Chairman and Head of the Budget Committee of the Library, appeared and distributed a printed memorandum showing current circulation and supporting figures. He stressed the need for additional books, stating they are utilizing all the books on hand to the maximum benefit. Others appearing in support of the appeal were: Owen Cox, member of the Board, urged that the Branch Library be left in the Capital Improvement Program; Mrs. Cecil Burney compared America's educational advantages unfavorably to that of Russia and stated that a price tag should not be put on knowledge; Odel Ingle stated, in his opinion, more books is the main need; Reverend A. C. Bell called specific attention to the condition of the bookmobile; and. Mrs. Oscar Koepke expressed praise for the administrative ability of the Librarian and measures employed to keep within the allotted budget. Mayor King expressed appreciation for the interest shown in the Library and its needs. Motion by Airheart, seconded by Humble and passed, that the City Manager's requests and recommendations relative to the following be approved: (�) That an award of a contract for the construction of the Holly Road Water Lines be made to Held.enfels Brothers in the amount of $1,438,699.75, on the basis of low bid meeting specifications; (b) That an appropriation in the sum of $57;275.00 be authorized for the acquisition of 11 parcels of pro- perty for Right -of -Way required by the State of Texas and applicable to Project No. 220-56-24, Crosstown Expres- sway, Highway 286 Relocated, and that real estate sales contracts be executed for acquisition of said parcels when and only when the purchase price is within the "approved value" as determined by the State; (c) That Change Order #2 of the Bur -Tex Constructors, Inc., Contract and applicable to the Westside Sewer Trunk Main, Unit II, whereby the City will take a credit of $5,520.00 by deleting the cost for restoring the pave- ment from the contract, not relieving the contractor of responsibility for ditch settlement or caving, to permit the installation of lateral lines and the reconditioning of the streets to be done later by City forces resulting in a probably saving to the City of $1,220.00, and in the interest of finishing the project in a more workman- like manner rather than a patched street, be approved; (d) That the request of the Mercantile National Bank of Dallas, Trustee, under Waterworks Revenue Bonds Trust Agreement, for a resolution instructing said firm to invest, of the available funds of the Bond Reserve Fund. of the City of Corpus Christi Waterworks Revenue Bonds, the sum of $93,000.00 in 3 3/4% U.

Humble Aye Gabe Lozano, Sr. Aye Mayor King invited anyone in the audience with petitions or information for the Council to come forward, and be heard.. Walter Lewright, attorney for Coastal States Gas Producing Company and Southern --oast Corp., appeared and made a vehement appeal to the Council to call for competitive bids on a 20 -year contract for supplying the City with gas. The appeal was made in opposition to the City's proposal to call an election on the matter. Mr. Lewrigh 511 stated that, under the terms of the proposed contract, cost of gas to the City would average 262 cents a thousand cubic foot for the first eight years and for the last 12 years would. be figured on a cost plus basis which he said. is grossly excessive. He further stated. that the Council has not determined that the price offered by Houston Natural Gas Company is the best obtainable; has not complied with the recommendation of the Advisory Committee, and that the average voter would. not be capable or in a position of casting an intelligent vote on the contract proposed with Houston Natural Gas Company. Mr. Lewright offered to pay the City a cash bonus of $250,000.00 for the same contract offered by Houston Natural. Harold Alberts, appeared as a private citizen and, stated that the Council's decision on this matter may well be the most important and farreaching it has ever made, and further, that if all who want to bid on the supply contract do not get the chance, the people will be doubtful, and with justification. Councilman Joe B. Dunn read a brief statement giving explanation as to how the Council arrived at their decision; that the City must have a long-term reliable source to take care of future needs; that, in his opinion, negotiations have reached a point where they are worthy of submission to the public, and that if the City should change gas suppliers, many financial outlays would be involved. Mayor King stated that if the proposed contract with Houston Natural Gas Company is submitted to the voters of the City, he would submit it with the recommendation that, in his opinion, it is the best obtainable. He fur- ther stated that his file with negotiations with this company is open to anyone wishing to examine it; that the contract has not been signed and there is still time to consider the objections raised by Mr. Lewright. Ted Anderson, attorney representing developers of the proposed Surfview Subdivision, appeared and questioned. the constitutionality of the platting ordinance -'s requirement for dedication of 5% of park land within a sub- division to the City, or money in lieu thereof. He described the property in question to be a 12 -acre tract lo- cated. between Corpus Christi Bay and South Alameda and between the Shoreline and. Ocean Drive Subdivisions; that the amount of park land involved would be six -tenths of an acre andthat the Zoning & Planning Commission had agreed to accept money in lieu of this, but that because of the circumstances under which the land was bought, its value based on purchase price, is higher than norma.; that he had offered to pay $3,000.00 an acre as the basis for figuring the amount to be dedicatedand that the Commission had refused the offer and that the purchase price of about $7,000.00 an acre, would have to be used. Mr. Stephenson, one of the developers, appeared also in support of the statements of Mr. Anderson. Mayor King stated that City Manager IAiitney would be authorized. to instruct the City's Right -of -Way Staff to make an investigation and. appraisal of the area's parks and confer with City Attorney Singer and that a report would be given the Council at next week's informal meeting Mr. K. MacBurney, representative of the Hertz Corporation, appeared and protested the passage of the Ordinance pertaining to driverless automobiles, stating the ordinance was quite contrary to what his company had understood, it was going to be and requested more time for submitting/f® his respective companies for approval. Mayor King advised Mr. MacBurney that the ordinance was officially adopted and that the only thing to do now was to amend. it. He further advised that he should. hate his counsel confer with the City Legal Department in an effort to reconcile their differences. There being no further business to come before the Council, the meeting was adjourned. 512 PRESENT: Mayor Ellroy King Commissioners: Dr. James L. Barnard Mrs. Ray Airheart Joseph B. Dunn 'Patrick J.

Mayor King announced that the Council would defer the next item on the Agenda (Reading of the Ordinances) until after the Budget Hearing which was sched.uled,for 3:00 P.M., and that he would take this opportunity to make some comments on the history of the negotiations with Houston Natural Gas Company regarding a proposed. contract with said Company. He read excerpts from his file of correspondence of the negotiations between Houston Natural, the City and the Advisory Committee appointed in February of this year, which committee is composed of Frank Peterson, Paul Haas, John Hawn, Richard Davy and Guy Warren. Mr. King stated that the negotiations were held on the recommendation of the Committee which stated, in writing, that the existing contract under which Houston Natural Gas Company sells the City gas, carries a moral obligation for negotiations; that a letter dated April 4, 1960, signed by all members of the Advisory Committee stated that it is their opinion that the City should negotia with Houston Natural Gas Company for a gas contract; that the purposed contract has been approved as to legal form by City Attorney Singer, and that if is a fact that most cities in Texas have negotiated for their gas supply contracts rather than submitting them to competitive bids. He further stated that the Council is unanimous in its contention that the proposed contract is in the best interest of the City and. that, in their opinion, it is the best obtainable; that the City's most important and serious concern is to assure the City of an adequate reserve of gas and that it is their firm belief that HoustonNatural is in a better position to supply the demand..' Mr. Walter Lewright, attorney for Coastal States and. SouthernCoast Gas Companies, appeared and again urged the Council to take competitive, bids, stating that the citizens of the City would never otherwise know that the prices offered. by Houston Natural are the best obtainable. He placed a cashier's check on the Council table, whit remained for most of the meeting, in the amount of $250,000 offered. as a bonus for the proposed. contract on which the City proposed, to hold an election August 20, 1960. As an alternative, he said his clients would be willing to agree to pay $68,500 a year for the first eight years of the contract and at least $80,000 a year for the last 12 years, stating this alone would save the City a minimum of $1,508,000 over the life of the contract. Mayor King stated the Council is not in a position to accept this offer since they have not seen a map or financial statement, and furtheV,that they are not holding a public auction.' Mr. Robert L. Burns, attorney of the Will Sears Law Firm of Houston, appeared on behalf of Mr. Lewright and. his cleints, and attacked the ruling of City Attorney Singer that the proposed contract with Houston Natural Gas Company would not violate the City Charter and the State Law. Mr. Burns stated that competitive bids must be tak and that any citizen may bring suit to enjoin the carrying mut of the proposed. contract.- 514 Mr. H. J. Pendergast, attorney representing Banquette Gas Company, appeared and stated that he would like to go on record that it is their conviction that the failure of the City to submit the contract for a gas supply to competitive bids would violate the City Charter and State Law. Mr. J. H. Wimberley of Houston, President of Houston Natural Gas Company, appeared and stated. that a number of incorrect statements have been made to the Council and that he wanted to get the record straight. He defended the Company's prices, but said the most important factors for the City to consider of a supplier are adequate reserves, ability to meet demands, adequate facilities and financial stability, and that Houston Natural has all of those including two trillion cubic feet of reserve gas. Mr. Wimberley produced documental evidence substan- tiating his statements regarding rates, spreads and areas in Texas supplied, by his Company. He further stated that negotiation is the most widely -used and best approach to a gas contract because of the complexity of spec- ifications, that less than one per cent of all the gas sold in the United States is sold on the basis of bids, an all of the 100 Texas Cities served by his Company are all negotiated contracts. Mr. Joe Wolff, Executive Vice -President of Local Operations for Houston Natural, appeared and denied state- ments implying his company were using underhanded methods. Mr. Oscar Wyatt, Executive of Coastal States Gas Company, appeared and spoke in opposition to the proposed contract, stating that his company could reduce the figures presented. by Mr. Wimberly to a much lower figure. Commissioner J. B. Dunn, asked Mr. Lewright, if he were implying "conivance" and said he wanted it definite stated. Mr. Lewright said he was not, but that the council is putting itself in the position of having charges made against it. It appearing that interested parties had spoken, Mayor King announced. there would be a ten-minute recess of the meeting. The meeting was reconvened. at 4:00 P.M., at which time Mayor King called for the reading of the following ordinances: ORDINANCE NO. 5821 DETERMINING THE NECESSITY FOR AND ORDERING THAT THE PORTION OF BOOTY STREET FROM THE WESTERLY BOUNDARY LINE OF OCEAN DRIVE TO THE EASTERLY BOUNDARY LINE OF SANTA FE STREET BE IMPROVED; AND REQUIRING THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS TO PREPARE AND FILE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS; REQUIRING THE CITY SECRETARY TO FILE A NOTICE IN THE OFFICE OF THE COUNTY CLERK OF NUECES COUNTY OF THE ACTION HEREIN; PROVIDING HOW SUCH IM- PROVEMENTS SHALL BE PAID, AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.

Humble Aye Gabe Lozano, Sr. Aye The foregoing ordinance was passed by the following vote: Ellroy King Aye James L. Barnard Aye Mrs. Ray Airheart Aye Joseph B. Dunn Aye Patrick J. Dunne Aye R. A. Humble Aye Gabe Lozano, Sr. Aye Mayor King announced the Council would hold a Public Hearing on the 1960-61 Budget. City Manager j-1hitney first reviewed the proposed budget of the City -s Public Works Department, Traffic Engineer, Health and Welfare, and Park and Recreation Departments. He summarized the budget for these department and. statedthat they are substantially the same program as the previous year with a few exceptions. The Traffic Engineering Department is being changed by the deletion of one parking meter attendant made possible by the free Saturday afternoon parking, and by the transfer of three electricians from the Electrical Maintenance Section. I is also proposed. to move the Traffic Engineering sign shop from Cudd.ihy Field into temporary quarters at Cliff Maus Airport which will result in a substantial decrease in travel time and a more effective utilization of per- sonnel. A Maintenance Services Section is proposed in the Public Works Department, under the supervision of a general maintenance superintendent, which will result in improved performance and substantial economies. The 01719 Park & Recreation Department Program is essentially the same as last year, except for some charges in personnel - addition of six employees to the maintenance crew. Proposed. Budget in the amount of $530,281.00 as compared to last year's budget of $509,109.00. Memorial Hospital budget held at the same level of $175,000.00 as the City's share. Provisions have been made in the Personnel Department for the addition of a full-time Safety Engineer. Mr. Whitney stated the proposed budget for 1960-61 is built around a financial framework based upon a con- tinuation of the existing tax rate of $1.53 and upon a continuation of existing utility rates except for whatever adjustment in gas rates is necessitated by the cost of gas under a new supply contract to be subsequently con- summated.. To contain the recommended appropriations within these financial limitations has necessitated the deletion of a number of desirable programs requested by department and division heads. However, it is believed that the budget represents a program which will enable the City to keep pace with the demands of the community and to continue to provide an acceptable level of municipal service to the citizens. Mr. Whitney recommended the adoption of the proposed budget amounting to a total of $13,989,267.00, with an estimated net revenue in the sum of $13,678,760.00 ORDINANCE NO. 5822 APPRCVING AND ADOPTING THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS' WRITTEN STATEMENT AND REPORT OF THE ESTIMATES OF THE VARIOUS COSTS FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE PORTION OF BOOTY STREET FROM THE WESTERLY LINE OF OCEAN DRIVE TO THE EASTERLY BOUNDARY LINE OF SANTA FE STREET, AND THE STATEMENTS OF THE NAMES OF THE APPARENT OWNERS, DESCRIPTION$ AND NUMBER OF FRONT FEET OF ABUTTING PROPERTY ON SAID STREET WITHIN SAID LIMITS; DETERMINING AND FIXING THE PORTION OF SAID COSTS, AND THE RATE THEREOF TO BE PAID BY AND ASSESSED AGAINST SAID ABUTTING PROPERTY, AND THE REAL AND TRUE OWNER THEREOF, AND THE PORTION THEREOF TO BE PAID BY THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS; DETERMINING THE NECESSITY OF LEVYING AN ASSESSMENT AGAINST SAID ABUTTING PROPERTY, AND THE REAL AND TRUE OWNERS THEREOF, FOR THE PART OF SAID COST APPORTIONED THEM; ORDERING AND SETTING A HEARING TO BE HELD AT 3:00 O'CLOCK P.M., ON THE 17TH DAY OF AUGUST, 1960, IN THE COUNCIL CHAMBERS OF THE CITY HALL IN CORPUS CHRISTI AS THE TIPS AND PLACE FOR HEARING OF THE REAL AND TRUE OWNERS OF SAID ABUTTING PROPERTY, AND ALL OTHERS INTERESTED IN SAID PROPERTY OR IN SAID PROCEEDINGS CON- CERNING SAID ASSESSMENTS AND PROCEEDINGS; DIRECTING THE CITY SECRETARY TO GIVE NOTICE OF SAID HEARING AS REQUIRED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS AND THE CHARTER OF THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS, AND FURTHER, DIRECTING THE CITY SECRETARY IN ADDITION TO THE CONTENTS OF THIS NOTICE OF SAID HEARING AS REQUIRED BY LAW, WHICH SHALL BE VALID AND SUFFICIENT IN ITSELF, TO INCLUDE THEREIN A LIST OF THE APPARENT OWNERS AND DESCRIPTION OF SAID ABUTTING PROPERTY AS SET OUT IN SAID REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS AND PROVIDING THAT SAID LIST OF APPARENT OWNERS SHALL NOT BE CONCLUSIVE OF SAID OWNERSHIP AND SHALL NOT LIMIT SAID NOTICE TO SUCH OWNERS' NAMES OR THE PROPERTIES DESCRIBED, AND THE SAID NOTICE SHALL NEVERTHELESS BE DIRECTED TO TIIE REAL AND TRUE OWNERS OF SAID ABUTTING PRO- PERTY, WHETHER NAMED OR CORRECTLY NAMED OR NOT; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.

Mr. Hodge Thompson, attorney representing the Lodge, presented their plans for an $80,000 Masonic Temple to be constructed on a 100' x 246' lot. He stated that the deed restrictions on this lot will be removed by its own terms June 1, 1961.

William Anderson located the property on the map and described its present uses. Stanley Marks, realtor and investment counselor representing Mr. Hyman E. Finger of Houston, Texas, appeared and presented the Council with general development plans for a modern furniture and department store to be located on the 12 -acre tract.

He further stated the contemplated building would cost $650,000; would be one story in height and contain 100,000 square feet and that the investment, including the land would amount to more than a million dollars; that his client has agreed to a fence for screening where necessary and would agree to a reasonable starting and completion date. No one appeared in opposition to the application. Motion by Airheart, seconded by Pat J. Dunne and passed, that the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission be upheld and that the application be approved with the provisions that a 6 -foot redwood fende be constructed on the rear and side property lines, separating the area from residential developments; a proper plat including appropriate building line; that construction be begun by February 1, 1961 and that 50 percent of the floor area be substantially completed by February 1, 1962; that no flashing signs be allowed; that all signs be placed flat against the wall and no free standing signs to be erected on the roof of the building.

William Anderson located the property on the map and gave a brief history of the application. 530 Joe Alsup, attorney representing the applicants, appeared and stated that since the last request, the Corpus Christi Independent School District had abandoned plans for use of the adjacent school site and that "b-3" Secondary Business zoning had been granted by the Zoning and Planning Commission for an ice skating rink in the vicinity of his client's property, that he felt the proposed use for this property would not be any more objectional but would be in conformity with that of the skating rink. No one appeared in opposition to the foregoing request. Motion by Barnard, seconded by Pat J. Dunne and passed, that the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission be upheld and that the application be approved subject to proper platting of the property; approval of plans by the City Staff, including any necessary controls such as fences, lights, signs and drainage; and that construction be begun by September 1, 1961, and at least 50 percent of the floor area be substantially completed by September 1st 1962.

Mayor King announced the Council would hold a public hearing on the application of I. H. Saenz to re -zone Lot 11, Block 1, Loma Alta Subdivision, being that property located at 2241 Comanche Street, from "A-2" Second Apartment House District to "B-1" Neighborhood Business District. William Anderson described the location of the property and pointed out its present uses. He stated it was the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission that the application be denied on the basis that it would -constitute spot zoning. Mr. Saenz, applicant, appeared and stated that he was requesting this change in zoning to,legally permit his radio and television shop in a building behind his home. He explained that this 12' x 18' building had been converted from a storage room to a television shop which he has been operating there for two years and that his wife has operated a beauty shop at the same address since 1953. He further presented pictures of other buildings in the area showing zoning violations and made an earnest appeal to the Council to permit his con- tinuing in business at this location. No one appeared in opposition to the application. Motion by Pat J. Dunne, seconded by Lozano and passed, that the hearing be closed and that the matter be taken under advisement. Mayor King announced the Council would hold a public hearing on the application of Manuel Ponce, Sr. to re -zone the east 50 feet of Lot 13 and the west 1/2 of Lot 14, Block 7, Molina Subdivision No. 2, being that property located at 4301 Barrera Street, from "R-1" One Family Dwelling District to 11B-1" Neighborhood Business District. William Anderson located the property on the map and described its uses in relation to the @urrounding 531 territory. He stated the applicant was asking for a zoning change to allow operation of a beauty shop in the vacant commercial type brick building already on this property. He presented a petition of 30 names of property owners in the surrounding area which stated that they do not wish to protest this zoning request. No one appeared in opposition to the application. Motion by Humble, seconded by Joe B. Dunn and passed, that the hearing be closed and that the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission be upheld and that the application be approved. Mayor King announced the Council would next hold a public hearing on the application of Remigio Gomez to re -zone Lot 46, Block 2, Casa Blanca Addition, being that property located at 2501 Bolivar Street, from "R-1" One Family Dwelling District to "B-1" Neighborhood Business District. William Anderson pointed out the location of the property on the map and stated it was the recommendati of the Zoning & Planning Commission to deny the application. William Bonilla, attorney representing the applicant, appeared and explained that Mr. Gomez presently operates a grocery store at 1827 Mussett Street but that this will be condemned to make way for the Crosstown Expressway. He stated that if this zoning change is granted, Mr. Gomez plans to construct a 26' x 60' commerci building for grocery store use; the building to face McArthur Street and would cost between $8,000 and $10,000. He said the commercially zoned property across the street is vacant but is too expensive. No one appeared in opposition to the application. Motion by Humble, seconded by Joe B. Dunne and passed, that the hearing be closed, that the recommendat of the Zoning &i -Planning Commission be upheld and that the application be denied. Commissioners Airheart, Pat J. Dunne and Lozano, voted "Nay" on the motion. Mr. Gomez, applicant, appeared in behalf of his request and questioned the Council's action. He appealed to the Council to reconsider the action, stating that "he is just a young business man trying to get started"; that he has the approval of all the adjoining property owners and that they are in favor since on it would eliminate the necessity of children/Port Avenue which is a busy and dangerous thoroughfare; that the crosstown expressway has forced him to move from his present location and that he feels the City owes him some consideration. Mayor King and members of the Council expressed sympathy for Mr. Gomez' problem but stated that to change the zoning would be an encroachment on a residential area and if thisapplication were granted, others would apply which would result in a bad situation. There being no further business to come before the Council, the meeting was adjourned. PRESENT: Mayor Ellroy King Commissioners Dr. James L. Barnard Mrs. Ray Airheart Joseph B. Dunn Patrick J.

Motion by Barnard, seconded by Pat J. Dunne and passed, that a statement, prepared by the Council "as to why the Council has not asked for competitive bids on a contract forth a City's gas supply", and "what 532 would happen if the City of Corpus �hristi Gas Division lost its gas supply in a gas outage", and that the statements be placed of record in the official minutes of the City. The statement is as follows: "WHY THE CITY COUNCIL DID NOT ASK FOR BIDS FOR A CITY GAS SUPPLY -- We know that many good citizens are genuinely concerned because the City Council did not call for bids for supplying Corpus Christi with gas. Those citizens are certainly entitled to a full and complete explanation. Here are the reasons why we have negotiated a gas supply contract. 1. The present gas supply contract, approved by a vote of the people eleven years ago, contains a provision for negotiating now with the present supplier for our gas supply for the eight years beginning March 1, 1961. 2. Two years ago the previous administration was concerned over the fact that the gas supply contract would soon expire. The previous administration sent bid invitations to 37 companies considered as possible suppliers. One and only one bid was received --the joint bid of Southern Coast Corporation and Coastal States Gas Producing Company. These are the companies headed by Sheridan C. Lewis and Oscar Wyatt, Jr., who have recently criticized the manner of handling the procurement of a gas supply. The previous administration did not and could not award a contract to the only bidder because of the joint bidders' failure to submit evidence that they owned ample undedicated gas reserves to serve Corpus Christi for the contract period. 3. We knew that the matter of a new gas supply contract was of extreme impor- tance. We were anxious that a new contract be'made with a dependable supplier, and under terms and conditions most favorable to our citizens. We therefore named a Gas Advisory Committee consisting of outstanding and patriotic citizens, men who are thoroughly familiar with the gas industry. Frank Peterson, President of Southern Minerals Corporation, is the committee's chairman. Other members are Richard Davy, Vice -President of Pontiac Refining Corporation; Paul R. Haas, Vice -President of Prado Oil and Gas Company, formerly President of La Gloria Corporation, and well-known to all Corpus Christians; John D. Hawn of Hawn Brothers; and Guy I. Warren, Vice -President and Chaiiman of the Executive Committee of Renwar Oil Corporation. These men made a thorough study of the gas situation over a period of months. They recommended unanimously the course of action that we have followed. We have complete confidence in the integrity and good judgment of members of the Gas Advisory Committee. We believe that Corpus Christi citizens have the same confidence in them. 4. Certainly we believe that the price the city is to pay,for gas is an important factor in a new gas contract. Of equal --and possibly even greater impor- tance --is making the contract with a responsible, dependable company with adequate gas reserves, a company with a proven record, that we know will still be here during all the years of the contract. A penny or two a month saved by each home owner would seem quite unimportant on some future cold morning if there were no gas in our mains. We can't take that chance here. 5• Our use of gas varies from three million to 45-50 million cubic feet of gas per day. A supplier must be ready at any time to supply 45-50 million feet even if he is to sell only three million. Most reputable and responsible gas companies are unable or unwilling to supply this kind of fluctuating demand. It has been well-known in the gas industry for months that we intend to make a new gas supply contract. Nobody except Sheridan C. Lewis and Oscar Wyatt, Jr., has shown any real interest in it, and they have never in 1958 nor to the present time presented sufficient facts, figures, maps, or any other information to show that they have gas reserves sufficient to supply Corpus Christi on a reliable, efficient and uninterrupted basis. Those are the reasons, as briefly as we can present them, for our decision not to ask for bids::again for a new gas supply contract. Months of careful negotiation have gone into the preparation of a proposed new supply contract. Because it covers a period longer than five years, it must be approved by the citizens before it can become effective. The election on the contract will be held August 20. The Gas Advisory Committee and the City Council have worked hard, long, and sincerely to find the best possible solution to our gas problem. We think we have found it. 63 ofJ The responsibility for decision is now in your hands. ELLROY KING, Mayor Dr. James L. Barnard, Mayor Pro -Tem Mrs. Ray Airheart, Commissioner Joseph B. Dunn, Commissioner Patrick J. Dunne, Commissioner R. A. Humble, Commissioner Gabe L. Lozano, Sr., Commissioner". Mayor King added emphasis to one point in the statement stating that a dependable, long term supply of gas is of extreme importance. He further stated that if the gas supply were cut off, it would take 48 hours to restore service at a cost of approximately $90,000 to $150,000. firms: Mayor King announced the opening of bids.

Roy Long, Executive Director of the Home Builders Association of Corpus Christi, which sponsors the annual South Texas Home & Outdoor Show at Exposition Hall, appeared and asked that the 20 per cent fee assessed exhibitors who give away food, be eliminated. The fee, based on the value of the food given away, is divided between the City and the concessionaire. City Manager Whitney explained that it was his opinion that the requirement had been eliminated in the specifications for the new contract. Mayor King announced the council would next hold a public hearing on an appeal of Mesdames J. H. Jones and G. A. Johnson from a decision of the Building Standards Commission regarding the demolition of improvements located on Lot 12, Block 34, Beach Portion. He directed that Assistant City Attorney Wayland Pilcher conduct the hearing and interrogate the witnesses. Street. Mr. Pilcher called Frank Peerman to testify as a witness on the condition of the property at 716 Belden Edmund P. Williams, attorney representing the appellants, objected to Mr. Peerman testifying stating it would be in violation of every American tradition of judicial procedure since he had sat in judgment on the original proceeding as a member of the Building Standards Commission. Mr. Williams' objection was overruled by Mayor King. Mr. Peerman testified that he had inspected the premises in question and found them to be in a bad state of repair. He stated that it was his opinion that the building at 716 Belden Street is more than 50 per cent deteriorated and that it would be economically unfeasible to repair and is dangerous to the health, morals, safety and general welfare of the occupants and public. Melvin Hinson of the City -County Health Department, Richard Burgess, Fire Inspector, corraborated the testimony given by Mr. Peerman. Mr. Williams stated that the true owners had not been cited; that he was representing Lucille Jones and Mrs. Grace Cummins. Assistant City Attorney Pilcher again called Frank Peerman to testify as q witness on the condition of the property located at 720 Belden Street. Mr. Williams again objected to Mr. Peerman being called as a witness, which objection was overruled by Mayor King. Mr. Peerman stated that he had inspected the premises at 720 Belden Street and it is essentially in the same condition as the building at 716 Belden Street; that it is unoccupied at the present time; is badly deteriorated; that, in his opinion, the building was more than 50 percent deteriorated and that it would be economically unfeasible to repair and is dangerous to the health, morals, safety and general welfare of the occupants and public. Melvin Hinson, City County Health Inspector and Richard Burgess, Fire Inspector, corraborated the statements of Mr. Peerman. Mr. Williams called Mrs. Lucille Jones to testify in her own behalf. She stated that she is a widow, has lived at 716 Belden for 45 yeara; that the foundation of the house had been good until the City raised the level of the street in front of the house causing water to drain from off the street onto her property and during heavy rains the water would rise to the level of the floor of the building, and that this condition had caused the rot and decay of the floor and siding. She further stated that a truck had run into the building last December, causing considerable damage and that she had obtained a settlement for the damages last week and had planned to repair it. Mrs. Jones stated that she would like to continue to live on the premises as her home. Elle c Jones, son of Mrs. Jones, also testified in behalf of the appeal. Mr. Pilcher stated that his appraisal of the building had not included the damage caused by the truck and that the estimate of deterioration is 75 per cent. 535 Motion by Joe B. Dunn, seconded by Barnard and passed, that the hearing be closed and that the matter be taken under advisement. Mayor King announced the Council would next hold a public hearing on an appeal of Henry Gummelt from a decision of the Building Standards Commission regarding the demolition of improvements on property located on Lots 107-108, Block 41, Beach Hotel. He directed that Assistant City Attorney Pilcher conduct the hearing and interrogate the witnesses. Mr. Pilcher called Mr. Peerman to testify as a witness on the condition of the property in question. Mr. Williams, attorney representing the appellant, objected to Mr. Peerman being used as a witness stating it would be in violation of judicial procedure as Mr. Peerman had sat in judgment on the original proceeding as a member of the Building Standards Commission. Mayor King overruled Mr. Williams' objection. Mr. Peerman testified that he had inspected the premises in question and that he had found that the floor was on the ground in many places, that walls were rotten and bowed, the plumbing was defective and that electrical wiring was insufficient. He further stated that, in his opinion, the building was more than 50 per cent deteriorated and that it would be economically unfeasible to repair and is dangerous to the health, morals, safety and general welfare of the occupants and the public. Lewis Pockrus, City Electrical Inspector, testified that the electrical wiring in the building is very old, probably 40 years old; that there are no receptacles or outlets and that the open wiring and over- loading of circuits is a fire hazard and that the wiring does not conform to the Electrical Code. He corraborated the statements given by Mr. Peerman on the general condition of the buildings. Mr. Gummelt appeared in his own behalf and stated that the 55 -per cent estimate of deterioration was exaggerated; that the only deficiencies were the wiring and a few needed repairs, all of which he said he would be willing to put into good condition. He stated that the floors had already been repaired; that he had been told by inspectors that his was the best piece of property on the block. Motion by Pat J. Dunne, seconded by Barnard and passed, that the hearing be closed and that the matter be taken under advisement. Mayor King announced the Council would next hear the City Manager's requests and recommendations as follows: (a) That an award of a contract on Miscellaneous Storm Sewer Improvements, representing six small projects combined, be made to Slovak Brothers on the basis of this bid being more advantageous to the City since the time of completion was specified as 100 working days, a difference of 100 working days as compared to the low bid submitted by K. F. Hunt and H & H Concrete Company, a joint venture; the difference between the two bids being in the amount of $1,303.29 which difference would be more than absorbed by the necessity to assign and maintain an inspector on a contract of this nature at a salary of $21.00 per day, and also the inconvenience to the public while the job is under construction; thus, the bid of Slovak Brothers is considered to be more advantageous to the City. Mr. Charles Porter, attorney representing the low bidder, appeared and protested the above recommendation, stating the reasoning was erroneous; that the inspector mentioned would not be on the job eight hours a day on any one project; that he is a permanent city employee and would be paid anyway; that the bidders had not been advised of the importance of the time factor, that his clients could and would do the job in 100 days, and he thought they were entitled to the contract award. City Attorney Singer stated that the City Charter states the Council may award a contract on the basis of the bid deemed most advantageous to the City. Motion by Barnard, seconded by Airheart and passed, that the foregoing recommendations be deferred and taken under advisement. Pilo t_% (b) That Acceptance and payment of Final Estimate No. 11, in the amount of $49,720.71 be made to Bur -Tex Constructors, Inc., for construction of Westside Trunk Sewer System, Unit II, designated as Projects Nos. 250-54-9.2 and 295-56-14-1; (c) That acceptance and payment of Final Estimate No. 8, in the amount of $19,906.03, be made to J. M. Dillinger for the construction of Baldwin Street Improvements, Port Avenue to Highway 44; (d) That a Curb and Gutter District be created on Claremore Street from Ocean Drive to Kentner, involving 12 property owners, 11 of which subscribed to the program and agreed to pay their respective share; the one owner who disapproves being Dave Coover, involving 540 lineal feet, Lots 15, 16, & 17, Block 3, Ocean Drive Subdivision; (e) That the sale of property described as Lot 3, Block 2 of L. A. Barnett's Resubdivision of the North 4 acres of Lot 7 of the Barr -Keeler Subdivision, be authorized and that the City Manager be authorized to advertise for bids and that a figure of $2,500 be specified, below which bids will not be considered, and that the proceeds received from the sale of this property be applied to the indebtedness on the Parkway House for Girls; (f) That an appropriation in the sum of $404.62, covering crop damages and costs of moving farm equipment and related expenses in connection with relocations on the Donigan Tract, applicable to Project No. 230-55-9.36, be approved; (g) That an appropriation in the sum of $1,110.00, representing costs for soil investigations by Trinity Testing Laboratories, as required by Reagan and McCaughan in the design of the Holly Road Water Reservoir, be approved; (h) That the Tax Error and Correction List for July, 1960, be approved. Motion by Humble, seconded by Barnard and passed that the City Manager's requests and recommendations be granted and approved with the exception of the item pertaining to the award of a contract on Miscellanedus Storm Sewer Improvements.

Humble Aye Gabe Lozano, Sr. Aye The foregoing ordinance was passed by the following vote: Ellroy King Aye James L. Barnard Aye Mrs. Ray Airheart Aye Joseph B. Dunn Aye Patrick J. Dunne Aye R. A. Humble Aye Gabe Lozano, Sr. Aye A petition, containing approximately 120 signatures of Oso Area residents was submitted to the Council requesting that the present City Council develop and carry out plans to alleviate the Oso Odor problem, which they stated had extended over a period of ten years, and that the residents had been plagued with very undesir- able odors and organic materials which are emitted into the air from Oso Sewage Disposal Plant. (See Petition #12 in File) Mayor King advised the petitioners that the matter is being expedited; that a report is due September 27, 1960, and the completion of the McArdle Sewer Line on which bids will be received September 14, 19602 will no doubt relieve the situation to some extent. He further stated that periodic reports would be required in order to hasten the solution to the problem. )45 Mr. E. C. Tipton, living at 318 Waverly, appeared and stated that failure to do something about the situa- tion is a "blank mark" against this administration as well as those of the past; that money has been appropriated and that they have received nothing but promises. James L. Beynon, retired Army Colonel of 437 University, appeared and questioned the proposed Gas Con- tract with Houston Natural Gas Company. He stated the old contract contains a provision which provides for use of Houston Natural's facilities if the contract is defaulted, and he questioned at length about whether or not it is included in the new proposed contract which will be submitted to the vote of the citizenry. He further pressed the Council for an answer as to what would be the course of action, should the election fail. Mayor King stated that he does not anticipate defeat. Mayor King announced the Council would next hold a public hearing on the Booty Street Improvements and proposed assessments to the abutting property owners from Ocean Drive to Santa Fe. City Engineer, Obie L. Etheridge, testified in detail in answer to questions by City Attorney Singer, as to the specifications for the improvements; as to construction and as to the City's policy whereby the cost of im- provements are assessed. He stated that some rehabilitation of water and gas lines now completed or to be done at City expense, will provide better and more trouble-free service to the neighborhood. The present narrow and con- gested street will be rebuilt with new construction as follows: The street will be excavated 43' wide, to 1' back of curbs. An 8" compacted caliche base will be placed. A 6" curb with 18" gutter will be constructed, 40' face to face. Curb and gutter along Spohn Hospital is judged to be sound and on the proper line and grade, and will be retained. Hot mix asphaltic concrete pavement will be laid, consisting of a q" base course, and a 1�" surface course with crushed limestone aggregate. Sidewalks will be 4' wide and will be constructed where usuable sidewalks do not now exist. New 6" concrete driveways will replace existing driveways. The property is zoned for apartments, and the assessments are computed on the basis that each abutting owner pays 40% of the cost of the street; the cost includes excavation, base, pavement, curb and gutter, and sidewalks, at contract cost plus 62 per4-ent for engineering and inspection costs, as directed by the Council. Appropriate adjustments have been made where header curbs, sidewalks, or driveways already exist. Improvements to storm sewers and drainage along the street, not included in the assessment estimates, but paid by the City, amount to $6,238.50. The rate of assessment for the North and South side of Booty Street from Ocean Drive to Santa Fe for curb and gutter & pavment per linear foot is $11.55299; for sidewalk per square foot, $0.38340; for concrete driveway per square foot, $0.79875; and for the North side of Booty Street the assessment for pavement only (curb & gutter left in place) is $9.05695. The total contract price for the improvements is $31,577.05; total assess- ments against property owners is $20,243.68, and the City's portion of the contract is $17,571.87. Mr. Gregory Moore was interrogated by City Attorney Singer and stated his qualifications as a real estate appraiser, and testified to the fact that he had inspected each of the properties involved in the assessment pro- gram and testified that, in his opinion, the properties would be enhanced in value at least to the extent of the assessment with the following exceptions: Item 1, should be reduced from $2,399.07 to between $600 to $900. Item 2, should be reduced from $2,512.75 to between $600 to $900. Item 3, should be reduced from $1,254.73 to between $400 to $700. Item 4, should be reduced from $1,405.49 to between $400 to $700. Item 5, should be reduced from $1,587.71 to between $400 to $700. Item 6, should be reduced from $1,625.64 to between $500 to $900. Item 9, should be reduced from $1,689.85 to between $900 to $1100. Mr. C. C. Wilson, owner of Lot 10, Block 4, Bay Front Terrace protested, by letter, the assessment against his property, stating he had owned the property for 14 years and had been paying 5 percent of the value each year as property taxes; that the City, had collected 75% of the value of the property in taxes and he does not feel he should be asked to defray so large a part of the cost of the street improvement. Mr. Joseph Cohen, representing himself and his mother, appeared and protested the assessment of $1,689.85 made against his. property, being Lot 12, Block 9, Ocean View, stating it had not been practical to develop this property under its present zoning, and that in his opinion, the property will not be enhanced in the amount of the assessment. 546 Requested adjustments and corrections based on requests and objections by property owners appearing were noted to be considered by the Council in the final assessments, and to be adjusted and corrected in those cases where the Council deems it advisable by subsequent ordinance. Everyone present who wished to be heard having spoken, motion by Joe B. Dunn, seconded by Humble and passed, that the hearing be closed and the matter be taken under advisement. Mayor King invited anyone in the audience with petitions or information for the Council to come forward and be heard. Oscar S. Wyatt Jr., President of Coastal States Gas Producing Company, appeared and asked that he be allowed to address the Council in connection with the issue of whether the Council should negotiate for a contract for the City's gas supply or call for competitive bids. Mayor King questioned whether or not Mr. Wyatt's comments would be in the public interest and whether the Council Chamber should be "turned into a political forum". He further stated that the proposed contract negotiated with Houston Natural Gas Company had already been submitted to the voters and that it is too late to late to change anything about;_ the contract. After obtaining permission from the Council to speak, Mr. Wyatt lead an attack against the proposed con- tract and members of the Council. He produced documents which he distributed to the Council to substantiate the attack. He read two opinions written by City Attorney Singer, one written in 1956, and the other in 1960. He stated the two opinions gave conflicting opinions on whether bids should be taken. He also read a letter signed by former Mayor Farrell Smith addressed "To Whom It May Concern", and dated August 16, 1960. The letter said the statement that "competitive bids failed two years ago" (during his administration) was a "gross oversimplification and a distortion of the facts"; "that the reserves of the bidders were never questioned". Mr. Wyatt presented other documents, photographs and figures, to substantiate the reliability, undedicated reserves and financial responsibility of his company. Sheridan C. Lewis, President of Southern Coast Corporation, also appeared and asked that he be per- mitted to make statements in connection with the gas contract controversy. Commissioner Humble stated that it was his opinion that the attacks by Mr. Lewis and Mr. Wyatt were not in the public interest but were for selfish reasons and were only confusing the gas issue before the election on August 20. Motion by Joe B. Dunne, seconded by Humble and passed that Mr. Lewis be heard. Commissioner Airheart departed from the meeting at this time. Mr. Lewis addressed the Council and defended the records of his firm and presented documents, photostatic copies of certificates from tax departments which showed that on July 31, 1960, Southern Coast Corporation did not owe any taxes to either the City, the County, State or any school district; that Southern Community Gas Comr pany, on August 9, 1960, did not owe any taxes. The unpaid franchise taxes of Southern Community Gas Company was challenged by City Attorney Singer. Mr. Lewis left with the Council a petition signed by customers of the Southern Community Gas Company within the City Limits stating that they go on record emphatically stating that the service of said Company has b entirely satisfactory. (See Petition #13 in File.) Gilbert Rodriguez appeared and presented a petition signed by residents of Chula Vista requesting the Council not to give away all "that money to Houston Natural Natural Gas Corporation", but to spend it instead on the drainage that was promised but has not been provided for Chula Vista. (See Petition #14 in File) There being no further business to come before the Council, motion by Humble, seconded by Pat J. Dunne and passed, that the meeting be adjourned.

Mayor King stated that the hearing was moved up from last week; that the City was ready at that time and that Defendant wasn't. He directed that Assistant City Attorney Wayland Pilcher conduct the hearing and interrogate the witnesses. Mr. Pilcher called Mr. Frank Peerman to testify as a witness on the condition of the property located at 3021 Hamilton Street, being the Curio Store.

He further stated that the wiring is old and delapidated, is iva4equate and heavily overloaded.

He further stated that a fire had damaged one of the cottages; the windows are broken, doors gone, and that the plumbing is completely useless. He alsostated that unauthorized persons were entering the cottages at this time. Mr. Peerman testified that it was his opinion that eighty-four (84) percent of the buildings were damaged and deteriorated and that it was the recommendation of the Building Standards Commission that same be demolished and removed as soon as possible. Mr. Harold Alberts, Attorney representing the appellant, appeared and objected to Mr. Peerman's findings. He further stated that the buildings could be repaired and that his client was willing to repair same. Mr. Pilcher then called Mr. Richard Burhess, Fire Inspector, to testify. Mr. Burhess corroborated the statements of Mr. Peerman. Mr. Alberts called Nelson Raiford, Building Contractor, to testify. Mr. Raiford stated that it was his opinion that the buildings could be repaired. Mr. Alberts then called Lloyd Clarkson, Chief of the Inspection Section of the City of Corpus Christi. Mr. Clarkson testified that he had examined the buildings and that it was impossible for him to tell exactly how much the buildings were damaged and deteriorated due to the fact that he could not see all of the areas.

The foregoing ordinance was read for the first time and passed to its second reading by the following vote: Ellroy King Aye James L. Barnard Aye Mrs. Ray Airheart Aye Joseph B. Dunn Aye Patrick J. Dunne Aye R. A. Humble Aye Gabe Lozano, Sr. Aye City Manager Whitney read a petition which had been received, signed by fourteen area residents, request- ing traffic control device installations at the intersection of Rodd Field Road and Lexington Boulevard, and at Joslin Road and Lexington Boulevard. Since the foregoing petition refers to areas outside the City Limits of Corpus Christi, City Manager Whitney stated that he would refer the matter and petition to the proper authority. City Manager Whitney read a petition which had been received, signed by thirty-two businessmen on the West side of Corpus Christi, requesting that the City encourage the bus company to furnish transportation out High- way 9 to Lexington Boulevard and South on Lexington Boulevard to Highway 44 and East on Highway 44 back,to Corpus Christi, at least on a trial basis, so that low income personnel can afford to accept employment in the motels, service stations and cafes in that area, on the basis that there are people now assisted by the County Welfare who are qualified for this type of work but cannot afford the cost of transportation. City Manager Whitney advised the Council that he would take the matter up with representatives of the Nueces Transportation Company who have a franchise from the City for bus transportation, and report the outcome to the Council. Mayor King invited anyone in the audience with petitions or information for the,Council on matters not scheduled on the agenda to come forward and be heard. Julio Espinosa, presented and read a petition from the Nueces Mens Voters Association, signed by seventeen members, petitioning the Council to issue such rules and regulations as may be necessary to insure that in future elections no repetition of nine irregularities alleged to have occurred in the August 20, 1960, Gas Contract Elec- tion, will occur. He presented four affidavits to support four of the alleged irregularities mentioned in the pe- tition, and stated they could get more in case they were needed. Mayor King asked Mr. Espinosa if he intended to file a law suit, or if he had reported the matter to the Grand Jury, to which Mr. Espinosa replied, "No". Mayor King then asked if Mr. Espinosa wanted to file with the City Secretary so that he could have his suggestions and attempt to eliminate the alleged irregularities, to which Mr. Espinosa answered, "Yes". This was done. (Filed in City Secretary's Office with all official data on the Special Election of August 20, 1960). Mrs. Mark Pomerantz, housewife, 502 Santa Monica, appeared and repeated her questions of last week's meeting relative to a private individual's use of public machines and City Personnel. Mrs. Pomerantz was again advised that her comments and questions related to administrative matters, and that she was welcome to remain after the Council meeting and talk with the City Manager. The following persons appeared and spoke relative to the City's gas contract, questioned the Council and urged commitments from the Council on the basis of their statements, opinions and views relative to advancing the now proposed date of election, deleting the "cost plus" item and providing that the successful bidder pay for the election in the specifications, and to have only the gas contract on the ballot: James L. Beynon, 473 University, representing himself; Mrs. Virginia Ridgway, Public Relations Agent, representing a large number of voters who had voted against the proposed gas contract; Farrell D. Smith, speaking as a private citizen, an attorney, and a former Mayor of the City. 553 Mayor King answered by stating that the specifications for the new contract were not yet ready; that the Council hopes they will be by the middle of September; that at the present time, the Council would not make any commitment for advancing the date of the election, and that a citizen does not have the right to poll the -Council during a Council meeting; that a special attorney had already been employed and a professional engineer was still to be employed since the contract turned down by the voters was not going to be used in the taking of bids; that the Council would not let the City be without gas; that all of the questions, statements and requests made at this Council meeting in this matter had been told to him and demanded of him over the telephone last Saturday afternoon by one who identified himself as Oscar Wyatt, under threat of re -call if he failed to commit himself. Mayor King further stated that in spite of all threats of re-cill, the Councik would continue to act, in its opinion, in the best interests of all the citizens of the City, and that suggestions should be submitted in writing and would be given due consideration by the Council. Commissioner Barnard stated that he considered it more important to do the job right than to hurry it; that the Council has been working constantly on the matter; that it was impossible to commit the Council at this time as to an election date, but that the successful bidder would know before the election date and could begin to lay the ground work before the election.

Barnard Aye Mrs. Ray Airheart Aye Joseph B. Dunn Aye Patrick J. Dunne Aye R. A. Humble Aye Gabe Lozano, Sr. Aye Mayor pro tem Barnard invited anyone in the audience with petitions or information for the Council to come forward and be heard. Eduardo de Ases, attorney representing residents in Precinct No. 10 and Precincts 80 and 98 of the City, appeared and presented two petitions signed by residents of said precincts: (1) Residents of Precinct #10 re- quested and petitioned the City Council to insure that in future elections proper and adequate safeguards and pro- tection to the voters be provided against the possibility of intimidation or illegal electioneering or influencing in the polling place by appointing judges and clerks who weee familiar with the Spanish names and language (See Petition #15A in File); (2) Residents of Precincts No. 80 and No. 98, protested by petition the designation of precincts and polling places for city elections and requested that the City Council redesignate a polling place for these precincts in future City elections to a place more accessible to the voters, stating that some of the voters were compelled to travel four miles to the nearest polling place which was, in effect, discriminating against the Latin electorate in Molina and other westside areas. (See Petition #l(A in File) Mayor pro tem Barnard advised Mr. De Ases that it is not the policy or desire of the City to hinder or discriminate against anyone, but stated, after consulting with City Attorney Singer, that qualified voters are supposed to be able to read and write the English language and that the elections must be conducted in English. He further advised Mr. de Ases that the matters would be taken under advisement at next week's informal meeting and that policies would be set. Joe Garza, a member of an association composed of Latin Americans, appeared and asked that the Council make a statement as to the status of a drainage problem in the Chula Vista area on which a petition was previously submitted. City Manager Whitney stated that the matter has been referred to the Public Works Department for study and recommendation. Mrs. Samuel Gonzales, 3246 Greenwood Drive, appeared representing residents of the Molina and Westside Area of the City, protesting the allocation of tax funds for the improvement of parks and recreation facilities in the west side of town, stating that they are grossly inadequate and that the Park and Recreation Board have re- fused to be concerned about the problem. She stated that there are 18 schools in the area attended by approxi- mately 20,000 children with a high deliquency rate and that the City maintains only one park for the entire area. Mrs. Gonzales proposed that a representative be appointed from this area to serve on the Park and Recreation Board, and that dedicated, but undeveloped, parks in the area be maintained. Mayor pro tem Barnard stated the Park Board would like to improve all City Parks but that bond elections for such purposes have been held several times and have been turned down, and advised that until more funds are available it is impossible to improve more parks. Mr. Howard Sudduth, attorney representing Corpus Christi Transportation Company, appeared in connection with the awarding of the Airport Limousine Franchise stating that it was his impression that the bid specifications called for the usual passenger sedans, but that Inland's bid calls for station wagons which he said, in his opinion, are impractical for the usual type of plane passengers, and stated he would like to go on record as voicing an objec tion to the award to Inland Transportation Company. There being no further business to come before the Council, the meeting was adjourned. PRESENT: Mayor Ellroy King Commissioners: Dr. James L. Barnard Mrs. Ray Airheart Joseph B. Dunn Patrick J.

Mayor King announced the Council would hold a public hearing on a request of residents of the 800 Block of Adel Drive, Cullen Place Subdivision Unit #2, to change the name of that portion of Adel Drive starting at Lum Avenue and extending to Belmeade Drive, and being the 5700, 5800 and 5900 Blocks of Adel Drive, to "Gollihar Road". City Manager Whitney pointed out the location of the street in question on the map and stated that he recommends that the name be changed; that the affected City Departments had been contacted and that they concur in this recommendation. No one appeared in opposition to the name change. Mr. Guy Winstead, 917 Airline, appeared in behalf of the request stating that he owns property on both sides of Adel Drive and that the existence of two separate streets bearing the same name and block numbers is con - 11 fusing and constitutes a nuisance to the residents and to other citizens of the City and that the name Gollihar 11 1 564 Road is suggested since this portion of Adel Drive is an extension of the present Gollihar Road. Motion by Humble, seconded by Airheart and passed that the portion of Adel Drive starting at Lum Avenue and extending to Belmeade Drive, being the 5700, 5800 and 5900 Blocks of Adel Drive, be changed to "Gollihar Road".

City Manager Whitney stated that his recommendation was based on the fact that Mr. Harris was third high bidder and that if the high bidder were passed over then the second high bidder, in addition to Mr. Harris, would have to be considered.

Paul Vogler, Chairman of Youth Guidance Commission, appeared and presented a statement endorsed by The Fraternal Order of Eagles, Aerie 2249, going on record favoring the keeping of Cliff Maus Airport site as part of the City's Park and Recreation Permanent Improvement Program, to h&lp meet the demands for vitally needed re- creational playground facilities, rather than be sold for a "pittance" of its actual value. (See Petition #15 in File) Mayor King advised Mr. Vogler that the statement would be filed with the City Secretary to be considered with other suggestions for possible uses in connection with the disposition of Cliff Maus Airport Site. David Cook, attorney, appeared representing businesses from Shell Cente?west and presented the Council with a petition signed by approximately 70 businessmen from that area asking that Highway No. 9 be reopened to traffic; that since the closing of the highway on the 12th of September between Savage Lane and Campbell Road to allow excavation of a trench for the roadbed of the Savage Lane Railroad and the construction of a vehicular over- pass on Highway No. 9, they have suffered tremendous losses, in some instances up to 55 per cent. (See Petition #16 in File) 67 City Manager Whitney stated that many conferences with the State Highway Department had been held on the problem the highway closing would create; that this was not a step taken arbitrarily and that the alternatives would be extremely expensive if not entirely unfeasible from an engineering point. Public Works Director Graham explained how the railroad and overpass are part of the Bascule Bridge Re- moval Project, pointing out that the Bascule Bridge cannot be removed until the railroad is finished, setting up a series of "chain reactions". Mayor King advised Mr. Cook that City Manager Whitney and Director of Public Works Graham would arrange a meeting with the Highway Department as soon as possible in an effort to bring about a solution, and that they wou have a report of their meeting at next week's informal meeting. Captain Bill Anderson of the Corpus Christi Fire Department and President of the Firefighters Association, appeared and submitted a petition on behalf of his association and the Police Officers' Association, allegedly con- taining 8,490 signatures of citizens of the City of Corpus Christi, requesting that the Council call an election in conformity with the City Charter and the State law to determine whether the City Charter shall be amended so as to provide and establish a minimum base pay for firemen and policemen in accordance with the following: Firemen: Policemen: Rookie - 6 uniforms plus $343.20 Recruit $343.20 Firefighter - before 18 mos. serv. 358.60 Rookie 358.60 Firefighter - after 18 mos. 375.10 Patrolman 375.10 Driver and Fire Inspector 387.20 Detective 387.20 Lt. and Alarm Operator & Fire Invs. 403.70 Sergeant 423.50 Captain 441.10 Lieutenant 463.10 Mechanic 463.10 Captain 510.40 Master Mech. and Chief Alarm Opr. 486.20 Asst.

(See Petition #17 in File) City Manager Whitney stated that he believes that if policemen and firemen are due a raise, many other city employees are also; that it would be discrimination to raise policemen and firemen wages and not those of em- ployees who have no recourse to state statutes; and that according to the law it does not mention retroactive or future pay increases and that if the increase was approved it would be effective the first day of the next fiscal year, August 1, 1961. Assistant City Attorney J. F. Park agreed with Mr. Whitney, but stated that portion of the petition that complied with the state law would be valid. City Secretary T. Ray Kring was instructed to verify all the signatures on the petition to insure that all signatures are of qualified voters. Mr. Walter G. Sparks appeared and protested the specifications for the Lawn Sprinklez''`'System at the Corpus Christi International Airport on which bids were received this date, stating that they precluded bids on other than material as specified and he and others were unable to bid due to the closed specifications and he felt that the City have suffered a loss thereby Mayor King pointed out that the bids had been referred to the City Manager for study and recommendation and that his comments would be considered in arriving at a conclusion. There being no further business to come before the Council, the meeting was adjourned. PRESENT: Mayor Ellroy King Commissioners:. Dr. James L. Barnard Mrs. Ray Airheart Joseph B. Dunn Patrick J.

Humble Aye Gabe Lozano, Sr. Aye 5rl Mayor King invited anyone in the audience with petitions or information for the Council on matters not scheduled on the agenda to come forward and be heard. Mrs. N. H. Brown appeared with Mrs. C. H. Craven representing the Oak Park Elementary P.T.A., and asked for information concerning the paving and improvements being constructed on Lancaster Street across from the School in connection with the Jack Teasdale Motel. Mayor King informed her that the request of the applicant to waive some of the requirements stipulated by the Zoning & Planning Commission had been denied by the Council with reference to the curb and gutter, sidewalks and erection of a fence during construction, but that since it could conceivably be several weeks before the fence was built, the City Manager was requested to see that the erection of the fence was not delayed. Oscar Wyatt, president of Coastal States Corp., presented two proposals to the Council. He asked the City Council to join with his company in obtaining a lease for either Cuddihy Field or Cabaniss Field from the U.S. Navy in order that his company can sub -lease for an aircraft conversion operation a prototype of which he is build- ing in San Antonio, and one which he stated would provide in the neighborhood of a 3 -million dollar annual payroll. He also asked the Council for a guaranty of a ceiling on the amount of taxes that would be assessed against a 10 to 15 -story business building which he proposes to erect on which property he holds an option, in order that he can lease to prospective tenants on a pro rata basis for their share of any increase in taxes against this particular property. The Council informed Mr. Wyatt that they are most desirous of encouraging business and bringing suitable industry to Corpus Christi, but that a City Council cannot, according to City Attorney Singer, legally or constitu- tionally make any tax concessions with regard to one particular piece of property since such taxes are required to be equal and uniform, and that Mr. Wyatt's suggestion of de -annexation for this purpose was not acceptable. The Council suggested that Mr. Wyatt consider the field studies that were made a few years ago, confer with the Airport & Industrial Board of the Chamber of Commerce as to the over-all picture of the aircraft industry in Corpus Christi and the Navy Department as to future Navy installations here, and then submit his proposal to the Council in writing, and it would be given due consideration. Abel Chappa, owner of the Sport Arena in the 3400 Block of Morgan, requested that the City allocate funds to move his building back to provide drive-in facilities and parking, since he stated that the Morgan Street Im- provements of curb and gutter with the 60 -foot right-of-way would result in a hazardous condition with relation to his operation and wipe him out of business. The matter was referred to the City Manager for investigation and recommendation. There being no further business to come before the Council, the meeting was adjourned.

He urged that the proposed election necessary to approve the contract that would be awarded after receipt of the bids on the City's Gas Supply be called for the middle of December on the basis that any successful bidder would be hesitant to take any steps with reference to engineering or right-of-way before the approval of the electorate. The Council reminded Mr. Ellis of the requirement of Notice of Election of at least 3 weeks preceeding an election which requires complete publication of the proposed contract, and pointed out that if the bids are received on November 16 and the election were called for December 15 as he requested, it would allow only one week for tabu- lation and evaluation of the bids received, drawing up of the proposed contract and publication of the Notice of Election, and stated that for these reasons the Council could not commit itself to a definite date on a matter of su vital concern to all the citizens, and further, that a middle of December date was impractical and improbable, but that the Council would proceed with deliberate speed in the matter. Mr. Brown requested clarification on the action of the Council with regard to the proposal of Coastal States Aviation, Inc. for leases at International Airport and at Cabaniss Field. City Manager Whitney explained that the Council's action was all in accordance with the recommendations of the Industrial & Airport Advisory Board as set forth in a letter dated October 7, 1960, addressed to the City Counci containing the report of the unanimous decision of the full Board which met on that date and considered the proposal of Coastal States Aviation, Inc. Motion by Joe Dunn, seconded by Humble and passed that Mr. Brown be furnished a copy of the letter to the City Council referred to by Mr. Whitney and also a copy of the letter to Coastal States Aviation, Inc. in reply to its proposal, as soon as they could be prepared.

The Council discussed various aspects of the situation with Paul Rice, Director of Traffic Engineering. Motion by Barnard, seconded by Airheart and passed that the matter be taken under advisement for further Bill Prewitt, attorney, requested consideration of the possibility of a December date for the proposed lection on the question of the Firemen's and Policemen's salary raise. Mr. Prewitt was advised that the Council could not commit themselves at this time, but that they would try to have an answer for him in two or three weeks. There being no further business to come before the Council, the meeting was adjourned. PRESENT: Mayor Ellroy King Commissioners: Dr. James L. Barnard Joseph B. Dunn Patrick J. Dunne R. A. Humble Gabe Lozano, Sr. SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING October 20, 1960 7:00 P.M. Acting City Manager Marvin Townsend Asst City Attorney Wayland Pilcher City Secretary T. Ray Kring Mayor Ellroy King called the meeting to order. City Secretary T. Ray Kring called the roll of those in attendance. Motion by Barnard, seconded by Pat Dunne and passed that the absence of Mrs. Ray Airheart be excused. Mayor King announced the Council would first hold the public hearing on an application of Paul Koapke for a change of zoning from "A-4" Tourist Court District to "B-3" Secondary Business District on all of Block 78, Brooklyn Addition, being that property bounded by Perry, Avenue D, and Oxford Streets, and Highway #181, located on Corpus Christi Beach. Mayor King read the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission for denial on the basis that the proximity of business to the school across Avenue D is undesirable; that the granting would provide an opening wedge toward strip type zoning along Highway #181; and that such zoning conflicts with the Zoning & Planning Com- mission's long range development plans for Corpus Christi Beach. William A. Anderson, Director of Zoning & Planning, located the property on the map and pointed out the existing zoning and uses of property in the surrounding area. Paul Koepke, representing the owner of the property, Corpus Christi Hardware Co., explained that the reason for the "B-3" zoning request was to overcome the sign restrictions in connection with service stations, that Humble Oil & Refining Co., has an option to purchase this property and plan immediate construction; that zoning needs have changed in the last few years along with the physical changes on Corpus Christi Beach; that this is a good location 588 for a filling station because traffic can get off the Highway and back on again at this section; and that Highway 181 is ideally suited for business, and that their plans include a washateria and drive-in grocery. He took excep- tion to the objection to business across from the school, on the basis that business is there now, and that the toward large motels and tourist beach development does not indicate an increase in school children. Mr. Anderson pointed out that the long range plans which were made in 1942 and the Bartholomew plan indicate tourist court zoning fronting on Highway 181, some business on Timon Boulevard, but none on the highway. Commissioner Joe Dunn stated that he felt that the Council should be allowed time to study the Bartholomew & Associates Report, since a great deal of property is involved on Corpus Christi Beach and since premature decis might be harmful to a lot of people, and asked Mr. Koepke if such a delay would be damaging to his client. Mr. Koepke stated that although he felt it was a logical,reasonable application needing an answer, he felt a reasonable time for consideration would not be damaging. Frisco Roberts, representing Humble Oil & Refining Co., appeared in favor of the application, stated that they do have an option on the property and desire to begin construction, and that they feel a service station on Highway 181 is in the best interest of the public. ly soon. Franklin Flato pointed out that the Humble option was signed in July and felt a decision should be made fair lack Davis stated that he did not think it would be sound judgment to grant business zoning for the entire block since it does not conform to the Bartholomew plan, and since the particular location is on a one-way street serving only traffic going out of town. He further pointed out that business zoning for a service station had been granted a year ago about 2 blocks from the property in question and has not been built, and that for the betterment of the entire beach area, business should be located in one particular area and not scattered over the entire beach property. Motion by Barnard, seconded by Pat Dunne and passed that the hearing be closed, and taken under advisement. Next was the application of H. E. Butt Grocery Company for a change of zoning from "R-1" One Family Dwell- ing District to "B-1" Neighborhood Business District on a portion of Lots 3 & 4, Section 13, Flour Bluff & Encinal Farm & Garden Tracts, located at the southwest corner of the intersection of McArdle Road and Airline Road and being a tract fronting 175 feet on McArdle and 175 feet on Airline and paralleling both roads. Mr. Anderson located the property on the map, pointed out the zonir4g and existing uses of the surrounding area, and presented a preliminary plat showing how the property was to be used. Mayor King read the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission for denial on the basis that there were no definite preliminary plans for the entire tract of which the application property is a part, and no way of determining how its use and zoning would be integrated with the remainder of the property and with the Master Plan for development of the neighborhood and to the Comprehensive Plan, -.for Corpus Christi; that no economic need or publ necessity had been shown; and that further business zoning in this location would cause additional traffic congesti to that already generated by existing business. M. B. Reasoner, Vice-president of H. E. Butt Grocery Co., presented additional information and a preliminary plat of the proposed development of the entire tract in question, consisting of Area A and Area B, and stated they had signed copy of a tract with Texaco, Inc., exercising their option to purchase Area A subject to securing the proper zoning and building permit. He further stated that all of this additional information would be submitted to the Zoning & Planning Commission at their next meeting. He stated that the tract had been purchased over a number years from various ownerships; that it had been determined that Area A was compatible for a service station with the development of Area B as a shopping center, at such time as the area development warrants, and at which time they will request the proper zoning for Area B; that the Texaco Co. would commence construction within 6 months on Area A since they felt there is now a need for a filling station at this intersection, and presented pictures of the type of construction proposed with ample circulation for traffic. He further stated that they would be willing to submit a preliminary plat for the entire tract composed of Area A & Area B in order to bind themselves to the development of Area B as a shopping center, with the possible exception of some Lexington frontage, and maintain the 3 to 1 parking ratio and proper set back lines, but that they would not want to be committed as to shape of building con- struction or location of buildings on the property. 581 A. T. Zipperly, District Sales Representative of Texaco Co., stated that construction would begin within 6 months, that the nearest Texaco station is 1 or 1� miles away, and that the building would be from 80 to 100 feet back from the corner which would offer far better visibility at the intersection than some other type of constructio. which might require only a 20 foot set back. No one appeared in opposition to the application. Motion by Joe Dunn, seconded by Humble and passed that the hearing be recessed pending the additional infor- mation to be presented by the applicant to the Zoning & Planning Commission, after which the Council will consider the evidence submitted at this hearing and the findings of the Zoning & Planning Commission. Next was the application of Homer C. Innis for a change of zoning from "A-2" Second Apartment House District to "B-1" Neighborhood Business District, on Lots 14, 15 & 16, Block 3, Bayview Addition, being that property located on the southeast corner of Santa Fe and Buford Streets. Mayor King read the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission for denial since there has been littl or no change in conditions since this property was submitted for rezoning in 1959 and on the basis that adequate business zoning already exists in the immediate area and no public necessity had been demonstrated by the applicant; further, that the creation of business zoning in this location would have an adverse effect on surrounding propertie and contribute to traffic congestion on a major artery in the City's thoroughfare system. Mr. Anderson located the property on the map and pointed out the existing zoning and uses of the property in the surrounding area which included the illegal use and building located on Block 13 owned by Mr. Long. Bill Keys, attorney, representing Homer Innis and Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam, presented a sketch of the area and several pictures showing various Businesses in the immediate area of the 3 lots involved, layouts of the proposed engineering office building showing entrance to Buford and off street parking, and pointed out that the proposed im- provement was not a drop-in business, so it would not add to any traffic, would have a 25 -foot setback from either side, construction to be of brick, glass and concrete blocks, and would be an asset in this dilapidated neighborhood. He further stated that the fact that there is vacant business property in the area is proof that there is not suffi- cient residents to support a grocery store and that the third extension of their option to purchase the property ex- pires early next month. Mr. Anderson pointed out to the Council that theproposed new zoning ordinance provides for an "A -B" District permitting doctors, engineering, architects, insurance, and lawyers offices and other professional type uses, and that this area is proposed for such "A -B" District designation on the proposed new zoning map. Mr. Fred Quaile, real estate broker, spoke in favor of the application on the basis that the residential area is rapidly changing to business or commercial, that the residences in the immediate vicinity are in very bad condition and it is not economically feasible to fix them up, and that those residents objecting to the application do not face on either Santa Fe or Buford, but on Craig Street. Victor Gillett stated that he had not been asked to appear at the hearing on this application, but that he was in favor of it, and stated that he is presently a neighbor of this firm, that they will make good neighbors and up -grade, rather than down -grade the neighborhood. It was noted that Miss Julia Caldwell, located on the opposite corner, does not object to the re -zoning, and that A. A. Lichtenstein had written a letter to City Manager Whitney stating his reasons for being in favor of the granting of the application. Miss Elizabeth Boone spoke in opposition to the rezoning itself, not to the building that Mr. Innis.proposes to construct, but'on the basis that there would be approximately 20 employees and their cars using the alley"for parking which the neighbors have been using for 25 or 30 years as driveway access to their homes thereby creating a greater parking problem, that the residents have fought requests for business zoning several times, and that there is already business zoning available a few blocks away. Miss Boone read a letter from Dr. Van Aken, on Third Street, staging his objections to the application, and stated that she was speaking for several of the residents who were unable to be present and for Mr. Estrum. Mrs. Collier objected on the basis that it would depreciate her home and increase the traffic on Santa Fe. 90 Moti,om',by:..P.at cDunne.;._� seconded ':bp Joet'Dtint -'and passed that the hearing be closed, and taken under advisement. Next was the application of George & Sam Taylor and Corpus Christi Theatres, Inc. for a change of zoning fro "R-1" One Family Dwelling District to "B-1" Neighborhood District on a tract of land out of Lots 13 & 14, Section 18, Flour Bluff & Encinal Farm & Garden Tracts, fronting on Lexington Boulevard owned by George & Sam Taylor and Corpus Christi Theatres, Inc. Mayor King read the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission for denial on the basis that no publ necessity had been shown, that there was ample business zoning in the area, and that there were no definite plans fo the use of the property. Mr. Anderson located the property on the map and pointed out the zoning and existing uses of the surrounding property and the business zoning not in use. City Secretary Kring reported that Mr. Taylor had telephoned requesting that the public hearing be postponed to give him an opportunity to formalize definite plans for the property. No one appeared to speak either for or against the application. Motion by Barnard, seconded by Pat Dunne and passed that the hearing be recessed until November 23, 1960, during the regular Council meeting. Next was the application of the City of Corpus Christi Legal Department for a change of zoning from "B-3" Secondary Business District to "R-1" One Family Dwelling District on Lots 19, 20, 21 & 22, Block 11, Gardendale #3, being located at the northwest corner of South Staples Street and William Drive. Mr. Anderson located the property on the map and pointed out the existing use of the surrounding area. Assistant -City Attorney Pilcher reviewed the circumstances of the original granting of "B-3" zoning for the purpose of allowing the construction of a 20 -lane bowling alley, and pointed out that more than two years having no elapsed with/construction having been started constitutes evidence that conditions have changed so that business zoning for this particular piece of property is no longer in the public interest, and should therefore revert to its former "R-1" zoning designation, which is also the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission. No one appeared in opposition to the request. Motion by Barnard, seconded by Humble and passed that the hearing be closed, that the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission be upheld, and that the zoning for this tract revert to its former "R-1" One Family Dwelling District designation, due to the fact that 2 years having elapsed since the property was zoned "B-3" and no construction having been commenced is evidence that conditions have changed in the passed 2 years so that "B-3" zon- ing is no longer in the public interest. Next was the application of the City of Corpus Christi Legal Department for a change of zoning from "L -I" Light Industrial District to "A-1" First Apartment House District, on Lot 12, Forrest Park Addition, Unit 2, being that property at 3042 Buffalo Street. Mr. Pilcher located the property on the map; pointed out that the $It -I" zoning is deceptive because the pro- perty is deed restricted for "A-1" uses plus a linen service use; that the Texas Linen Service which applied for and received this zoning has moved and recently acquired a new location on Highway 9; that these circumstances are evidence that conditions have so changed that an "L -I" zoning is no longer in the public interest and therefore should revert to the former "A-1" zoning designation, which is also the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Com- mission. Reverend Kenneth Hiner, representing the 800 membership of the Forrest Park Baptist Church, spoke in support of the Legal Department's application on the basis that the Church, had.:.opgosedophe granting of the "L -I" zoning from the beginning, that -the statements made to the Council by the Texas Linen Service to the effect that there was no other site available or suitable, and that there was an agreement made with the Church that a road would be made available to them, and that the Church had withdrawn its objections, were all gross misrepresentations; and that the Church wanted to go on record as wanting the property to be zoned as it formerly was. Motion by Humble, seconded by Pat Dunne and passed that the hearing be closed, that the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission be upheld, and that the zoning for this tract revert to its former "A-1" First A."t par ment House District designation, due to the fact th r rha nnnl a who was grantarl rt,- IIT- 591 having acquired another location is evidence that conditions have so changed that an "L -I" zoning of the property is no longer in the public interest. Next was the application of Dr. W. C. Ghormley for a change of zoning from "R-1" One Family Dwelling District to "B-1" Neighborhood Business District, on a portion of Lot 12, Section A, Paisley's Subdivision of the Hoffman Tract, fronting 270 feet on Gollihar Road with a depth of 200 feet, lying immediately north of Parkdale Unit 3, Block 18. Mayor King read the recommendation of the Zoning & Planning Commission that the application for "B-1" zoning be denied as spot zoning, but that the more restricted classification of "A-2" be granted, and the notation that the "A-2" classification would permit the construction of the clinic desired by the applicant, but that since the Ballard Tract to the west was zoned to provide for construction of a pharmacy, there was no need for this additional facility Mr. Anderson located the property on the map and pointed out the existing uses of the surrounding area and the platted and unplatted areas. Jack Turner, architect, representing Dr. Ghormley, presented preliminary plans and drawings for a clinic and (erawings for a clinic and) pharmacy building fronting on Gollihar and for Dr. Ghormley's residence at the rear, and the residences across the street with the backyards all facing Gollihar. Dr. Ghormley and Mrs. Ghormley both spoke in support of the application, and stated that the pharmacy was to be strictly a prescription type set up which would be leased by a friend of theirs, but would be open to the public as well as their patients, and that their home would act as a buffer to any future residences in the area. Bill Shireman, attorney, representing Mr. George Porcher, Jr., stated that his client and the 48 other resi- dents in the area, opposed the 11B-1" zoning, but not the construction of the clinic, on the basis that it would be an opening wedge for a future Council to grant business zoning since there would then be business zoning at both corners. He further stated that if it was the Council's will to grant the "B-1" zoning, the property so zoned should be required to be deed restricted to a prescription pharmacy only, so as to insure for the abutting property owners, right of civil action. Motion by Barnard, seconded by Joe Dunn and passed that the hearing be closed, and taken under advisement. There being no further business to come before the Council, the special meeting was adjourned. PRESENT: Mayor Ellroy King Commissioners: Dr. James L. Barnard Mrs. Ray Airheart Joseph B.

Mayor King invited anyone having business with the City to come forward and be heard. Bill Darden, attorney representing Coastal States Gas Producing Co., questioned the items of the Gas Supply Specifications which provide that the Council has until March 1, 1961, to approve the contract; that deliveries by the successful bidder are to begin on March 1, 1961; on the purpose of the maximum price control; and also stated that the specifications for the performance bond that may be required are not definite as to coverage. .. Oltu The Council informed Mr. Darden that they did not foresee the hypothetical situations he referred to as realities, that since his remarks were of a technical nature the Council would not make an oral interpretation of the written specifications; and further, that if Mr. Darden, or any other bidder, would submit their questions or objections in writing to the City Manager they would receive proper attention, and that all bidders would be simul- taneously informed of any interpretations. Motion by Pat Dunne, seconded by Joe Dunn and passed that the meeting be recessed until 3 o'clock, the time advertised for the public hearing on the Morgan Street Improvement Assessments. Mayor King reconvened the meeting at 3 p.m., and announced the Council would next hold the public hearing on the Morgan Street Improvement Assessments, from Port Avenue to Airport Road. Jack Graham, Director of Public Works, presented the paving plans and preliminary assessment roll; describ the nature, extent and specifications of the proposed improvements on Morgan Street, from Port Avenue to Airport Road the cost of construction; the amount to be paid by the City and the amount, before adjustment, to be assessed against the abutting property owners; the manner in which such pro rata share was computed; and the nature and extent of the proposed improvements to be paid for solely by the City. Gregory Moore and Fred Qaaile each individually testified as to his education and background experience which he felt qualified him as a real estate appraiser for both business and residential properties; and each indi- vidually testified that he had personally viewed and understood the extent and specifications of the prpposed improve ments; that he had personally viewed the assessment rolls and each of the properties to be assessed; and that in his opinion each of the properties so assessed would be enhanced in value at least to the extent of the proposed assess- ment against each property, with the ,follpwing exceptions: Item No. 42, Samuel I. Pittman Est., should be adjusted from $3,579.98 to $2,000.00, due to the wedge shape of the property; Item No. 62,Beaerth Undeland, should be adjusted to $775 less according to Mr. Moore, and $750 less according to Mr. Quaile, due to the wedge shape of this property. The following abutting property owners, or their agents, appeared to request information, or to make re- quests in connection with sidewalk, curbing or driveways with reference to a particular piece of abutting property: Item No. 4, Hector P. Garcia, asked what he would be allowed to construct in the way of driveways. It was explained that any increase in improvements such as driveways can be made by the property owner paying the contractor the difference between the additional construction and the assessment; Item No. 5 & 6, C.R. Steinmetz, urged the Council to consider a 60 foot paved street from Port to Baldwin, on the Basis that most of these business properties have set back construction and will have extra long driveways. It was explained to him that since the situation applied to only one side of the street, it was not recommended practice to widen a street by only one lane for only one portion of the street; Item No. 7, 8 & 9, Edgar H. Lorenz, wanted either a 60 foot street, or else would like to have the sidewalk moved closer to the curb so that his tenants could use the intervening space between the sidewalk and the building construction for off-street parking; Item No. 19, Tony Godoy, objected to the street being so narrow, and asked if the City decided in 10 years to widen the street, could the abutting property owners be assessed again. It was explained that although it might be legally possible, there was no precedent for such additional assessment provided the roadway was in good condi- tion and not in need of major reconstruction repair; Item No. 21 & No. 62, Joe Cohn, attorney for Bernerth Lindeland, stated that he was satisfied with the adjustment of $775 recommended by Mr. Moore, and had therefore not had a private appraisal made; Item No. 36, Paul Schriever, stated he has a walk in front of his building and would like to use that in- stead of having a new one constructed. It was explained that if an existing sidewalk is in good condition and up - to -grade and in the public right-of-way, the City's policy is to allow a credit for the sidewalk; Item No. 42, a representative of Samuel I. Pittman, stated that he was satisfied with the adjustment to $2,000 recommended by the appraisers, Mr. Moore and Mr. Quaile; Item No. 55, G. B. Boon, asked where the pavement was going to be placed, and was shown the plans; Item No. 59, Dorothea S. Collins, stated they preferred not to have curbs since the property is used for head -in parking for the drive-in cafe and any change would be very detrimental to them since they had moved the build ing back when it was reconstructed specifically for this purpose. It was suggested that she meet with Mr. Graham or Mr. Etheridge following the hearing to see what could be worked out since head -in parking will not be permitted. Item No. 63, Herman Waters, representing Aileen M. Waters, stated that there is still a drainage problem in the area and questioned the advisability of putting in the road until it is solved; Item No. 71, Reyes Rodriguez, was concerned about the area between the sidewalk and the building construc- tion. It was explained that if Mr. Rodriguez could obtain the consent and agreement of all concerned within the next few days, there was sufficient area in this particular section to nllnw the rir., Staff nnri f-�,o -_e 596 ownerships to work out a cement island arrangement in the nature of a small shopping center; Item No. 75, Margarito Ortiz and Item 76, Lorenzo Ortiz, together requested a community driveway between the 2 properties. This was noted, and it was explained that the assessment for the driveway would be divided equally between the 2 ownersnips. No one else present appeared to be heard. Mayor King announced that the recommendations and requests made at this hearing would all be given due consideration, and details of any adjustments granted would be worked out within the next few days before the pass- age of the ordinance approving the final assessment roll. Motion by Pat Dunne, seconded by Barnard and passed that the hearing be closed and taken under advisement, and that the City Staff be authorized to prepare the ordinance closing the hearing. Dr. Hector Garcia stated that he wished to take this opportunity to congratulate the Council on their appreciation of Mr. Andrade and to thank them for their recognition of his efforts as an individual to improve the bonds of friendship with Mexico. Mayor King thanked Dr. Garcia for his comments, and remarked that Mr. Andrade was a fine representative of his government and had been a wonderful citizen while in this country, and that we were glad to have him. There being no further business to come before the Council, the meeting was adjourned. PRESENT• Mayor Ellroy King Commissioners• Dr. James L. Barnard Mrs. Ray Airheart Joseph B. Dunn Patrick J.
