Council elect its own Chairman and Secretary; that the Mayor was to be laison
officer, to be contacted directly if the Council requests information or actor
of the City Council; to set time and place of meetings, for which the Adwsory
Council may use the City Council Chamber, a room which has been offered by the
YWCA, or any other place decided upon by the membership; that a member is to
serve as long as attending school or college from which he or she was nemin-
ated and appointed, and until new representative is appointed; and that the
Advisory Council is to conduct its own business, with the advice of adults
only when and if requested by the membership. Mayor Barnard charged the ';'fcush.
Advisory Council with the study of the following problems in particular% (1)
The use of narcotics and other drugs and alcohol among teenagers; (2) The level
of juvenile crime in our community; (a) Cause, and (b) Suggested solution; (3)
Rivalry between different sections of the City and between high schools with-
out animosity; (4) Level of traffic accidents of teenagers in Corpus Christi;
(a) More education; (b) Traffic Court Schools; and (c) Punishment or discipline;
(5) Are more planned recreational activities for teenagers in Corpus Christi
needed? (6) Level of gangs for unwholesome activities and influences; and (7)
Need for emphasis of Press on integrity and honesty in activities of youth.
Certificates of Appointment were presented by Commissioner de Leon
and accepted by the members of the Youth Advisory Council present at the meet-
ing. Mayor Barnard congratulated the foregoing on their appointment and added.
the following personal advice: "Listen to your fellow -students, urge other
youth to contact you of problems and solutions, and avail yourself of all in-
formation. Study problems and speak as a committee rather than as individuals,
and only after careful consideration of the problems that come before you, in
this way you will avoid much criticism. Remember that the honor and prestige
of being appointed to an Advisory Council carries with it much responsibility
and hard work. The adults will be watching to see if Youth can rise to the
responsibility of such a Council. I believe it can. Let's prove it to the
people of Corpus Christi."

ity, the desirability, and the practicability of creating a fishing reef in
the general vicinity of one -mile off the T -Head area in Corpus Christi Bay,
and the acquiring of a barge or floating platform of sorts to be anchored.
above it for the purpose of creating a high -yield fishing grounds for
citizens and tourists.
In a discussion of the foregoing action, Commissioner Wallace
suggested that expert testimony be obtained that such a fishing reef will
do the job intended by creating a high -yield fishing ground; what would be
the best way to create this submerged reef at the lowest cost and still be
a good reef; coat of putting floating barge over it and explore the County
awing bridge barge; how could this be paid by fees charged to amortize the
cost so no sizeable coat to the taxpayers.
Mayor Barnard called for petitions or information from the audi-
ence on matters not scheduled on the agenda.
Mrs. Levi Matterne of Ohio Street questioned the use of Federal
money in City projects, the need for another bond issue in connection with
sewage facilities for the recently annexed area, the City's furnishing of
uniforms for meter readers of the Utilities Dept., and a recent warning of
the City police to her 3 to 11 -yr. old grandchildren that they could only
play in the park on Annapolis Street if they didn't make any noise
City Manager Whitney explained the Federal money which was being
applied for was a grant not a loan to aid in the proper disposal and treat-
ment of sewage since it so vitally concerns the national public health; that
the South Staples Street Sewer project is for the replacing of the existing
sewer line with a larger line necessary to move the sewage adequately due to
growth in that area served by that line, and that no additional bond issue
is anticipated for sewage facilities in the recently annexed area since bond
money voted in January, 1961, prior to the annexation will be used; that the
City's furnishing of uniforms for meter readers, for which the employee pays
half the cost, is both a ready means of identifying authorized personnel for
the housewife as opposed to an intruder,'. and a good public relations policy,
and is used by almost all Cities; and that the use of City parks is presentlly
under study.
