W. H. Tucker, business manager of Electrical Workers Union, Local #278, stated that D. C. Ware is a member in good standing of Local 278, is a good journey- man electrician, and he was happy a member of his Local was willing to serve on this board; but that he protested the appointment of Mr. Ware on this board on the basis that he has failed the master electrician's examination no less than 3 times, and as a member of this board would be in a position to acquaint himself with ques- tions and answers to future master electrician's examinations, which would not be in the beat public interest. It was pointed out that the Board, by Ordinance, is comprised of two t0 -year master electricians, one 5 -year journeyman electrician, one 5 -year electri- cal engineer, and one of any of these categories who has had supervisory experience, as well as the City's Chief Electrical Inspector, the City Electrician, and the • • City of Corpus Christi, Texas Regular Council Meeting April 29, 1964 Page 3 Director of Public Works who are ex -officio voting members of the Board, and that any journeyman or supervisory member of the Board would be in a position to become acquainted with questions and answers to future examinations, Commissioner Blackmon stated he wished his nominations to stand as made, and since none of the Council desired to vote on the nominees separately, Mayor Barnard called for a vote on the motion before the Council. The motion passed unanimously, and Mayor Barnard declared E. 0, Loudon, L. 0o Braun, Sam M. Eastham, D. C. Ware, and William W. Bodine duly appointed to the Examining & Supervising Board of Electricians, Commissioner Blackmon awarded the Certificates of Appointment.

City of Corpua Christi, Texas Regular Council Meeting April 29, 1964 Page 4 City Manager Whitney presented an opinion requested by the Council of the Legal Department as to whether a protest of property owners fulfilled the re- quirement of the "20 percent rule" and stated that it did and the rule does apply and the granting of this zoning application will require at least six affirmative votes of the Council. Motion by Wallace, seconded by Maldonado and passed unanimously that the plea to change the zoning on all cf Lot 1, Unit 2, Washburn Meadows, from "R -1B" to "AB" Professional Office District be granted with the stipulation that a solid 6' fence be constructed on the side of the property that abuts residences, Mayor Barnard announced the public hearing on the request of Ha R. Naylor for the closing -of that portion of a certain 30 -foot wide road easement lying between North Naylor Circle and Old gobstown goad and having been dedicated by the division of the Snodgrass 30 acres Tract. City Manager Whitney located the easement on a sketch of the area; explained that in 1951, C. E. Naylor and H. R. Naylor conveyed to the City an additional 20' strip of land to make a 50' right of way for the street which now exists and is named Tropical Lane; that according to substantiated information, the City at that time agreed in exchange to quitclaim the subject adjacent easement to Mr. Naylor, which probably through oversight was never officially done; that the City Departments have no objection to the abandonment of this easement as there are no utilities involved and it serves no public purpose; and recon epded that the subject easement be closed and abandoned at this time. Mr. H. R. Naylor, applicant, appeared in support of his request on the basis that this was supposed to have been done a long time ago; that it is of no concern to anyone else as the Naylor property completely surrounds it; that it has no use as a road; and that there are buildings on it. No one appeared in opposition to the closing. Motion by Roberts, seconded by Wallace and passed that the hearing be closed. Motion by Blackmon, seconded by Roberts and passed that the 30' road ease- ment described in the application be closed as requested. • • City of Corpus Christi, Texas Regular Council Meeting April 29, 1964 Page 5 Mayor Barnard called for the City Manager's Reports.
