Block 14; the alley in Block 13; and the alley in Block 19; all in Calallen
Townsite, City of Corpus Christi.
Acting City Manager Townsend presented a sketch showing the block
numbers and the areas requested to be closed; a map showing the land use of
the areas involved; and stated that none of the City departments have any ob-
jection to the request, with the exception that since there is a gas line and
a power line within the street area, that the City should retain the necessary
easement or else require the applicant to pay the cost of any relocation of
these utilities. He pointed out that the Staff felt Avenue B should be closed
for the entire length of the block, if the request is granted, rather than only
the portion requested; and further pointed out the use of a portion of the alley
in Block 14 by one of the lot owners for a turn -around which should be considered
in any closing of that alley. Mr. Townsend stated that apparently some owners
of property within the required notification distance had inadvertently been
omitted from the list of names and addresses supplied by the applicant, that

o. That the preliminary plans for 19th Street from the Crosstown
Expressway to Morgan, be approved.
It was noted that a representative of the Calallen Baptist Church vas
now present.
Motion by Young, seconded by Roberts and passed that the matter of
the application of Calallen Baptist Church for certain street and alley closings
be taken from the table at this time.
Rev. Gerald B. Henderson, Pastor of the Calallen Baptist Church,
pointed out the church -owned properties and explained the plans for erection
of a fence between the parsonage and the neighboring residence and the paving
and use of other church -owned property involved for parking area and possible
future building improvements, but that they did not plan to build anything on
the portion of Avenue B involved in the request for closing. Rev. Henderson
stated that he was not aware that the list of names and addresses of owners
of property in the area was incomplete, and that he would furnish the names and
addresses required for notification of consideration of this matter at next
week's regular meeting.
Motion by Roberts, seconded by de Leon and passed that the hearing
be recessed for one week.
Bob Hamric, speaking with respect to the second reading of an ordin-
ance concerning special classification and rental schedule for athletic events
in the Coliseum, urged that the calculation of the 5% of gross receipts be
figured at the end of the contract period rather than after each event, be-
cause the sponsors are not always able to present a boxer who draws good crowds,
and because they hope to present other events, such as basketball games, which
may not at first dray the crowd.. He pointed out that the City was protected by
the minimum fee and by payment of thee.first.and last months' minimum fee in
advance.
The Council agreed to consider this request at Work Shop before the
third and final reading of the proposed ordinance.
Motion by Roberts, seconded by de Leon and passed that the ordinance

Mr. A. L. Lacey, local manager of Central Power & Light Company, pre-
sented copies of the new rate schedules for electric service for residential
and commercial customers which will be effective for electric service used atter
September 1, 1964; explained the reason for the reduction was to pass on to the
consumer a recent million dollar federal tax reduction to the company, and to
encourage and promote the use of a greater number of kilowatt hours of electricity
by their customers; cited a few hypothetical examples of the saving to the cus-
tomer under the new schedules; and requested the passage of a proposed resolu-
tion accepting and approving the new rate schedules.

W. G. C. Lincoln, district manager of Central Poser & Light Company,
answered some of the questions of the Council sad members of the audience, as
to adjustments in the price of gas to the company, the coat of kilowatt hour
production, and the effect of the new rate schedules on kilowatt demand.
City Attorney Singer and Acting City huger Townsend felt that before
considering the compauy.s request for the passage of the proposed resolution,
time should be allowed for a review of the value of the property and facilities
used to produce the intended revenue expected under the new rate schedules; and
commented that the reduced rate schedules can be applied by the company without
prior approval of the Council.
Mayor Barnard thanked Mr. Lacey and Mr. Lincoln for their presentation
and explanations, and referred the matter to the City Manager for Staff study
and recommendation.
The following appeared in objection to the newly announced bus schedule
for•the Corpus Christi Beach area on the basis that the franchise requires the
Nueces Transportation Company to provide adequate transportation for all sections
of the City, not to just those sections that produce a profit to the company;
that the new schedule does not provide bus service to accommodate the maids and
other hotel and motel help travelling to and from work across the bridge; that
it does not provide bus service to and from the downtown area for tourists or
retired residents without private transportation who comprise the largest part
of the people in the Beach area, or for school children needing public trans-
portation to and from the public library and recommended activities in the City:
Ray Grandy, Precinct Chairman of Precinct 21; Jack Davis, businessman and prop-
erty owner on the Beach; Frank Shell, businessman; John Stein, Tropical Motel;
Mrs. Cunningham, Hi -Points Courts; Mrs. Parrott, Alura Courts; Mrs. Gordon Gray.
Elmer Pope pointed out that in some cities with the same problem, only
buses are allowed on the downtown streets with parking being provided for private
cars outside of the downtown shopping area.
Ken Cason and Roy Klett of the Eueces Transportation Company, explained
the companyon position on the basis that the trips to and from the Beach area
were carrying only six to eight persons a trip; recited the hours of the new bus

schedule; and pointed out that the company had added two trips at noon on a
six weeks' trial basis, and that the bus, under contract with the School Board
to transport children from the Port area to the school on North Beach, goes back
to town at 8030 a.m.
Sandy Sanders, Ozark Courts, asked if a man could use a stationwagon
or a Volkswagen to haul people to and from the Beach area for a price; and City
Attorney Singer answered that the bus companyos franchise is not exclusive and
that the individual could apply for a franchise for this purpose.
The group felt that the Beach Area should have bus service seven days
a week with at least one night run and one for people who did not want to stay
in town all day, and at least two Sunday runs; and the Transportation Company
representatives felt if they carried 84 passengers a week on each roundtrip,
six days a week, the company would break even on the service.
Mayor Barnard stated that the Council would study the matter of the
bus routes further, but that that there is no way that the City can give any
money to the bus ccapany to help with their operation,
Don Newsom, Operating Superintendent of Lichtenstein's, and Mr. Morris
Lichtenstein, stated they had recently purchased approximately 10 acres in the
4100 block of South Staples occupied by the KRYS Radio Station; that on the ad-
vice of the Inspection Department they had appeared before the Board of Adjust-
ment for permission to erect a billboard type announcement sign next to the
radio station; but that the Board of Adjustment had denied the request on the
grounds tat they did not have jurisdiction in this matter.
Following some discussion of the matter, they were advised to apply
for a change of zoning to "B-5" PrimAry Business District; that the matter will
then come before the City Council, and since they are not ready to plat the
property, the Council can deny the zoning but in lieu grant a special use permit
for the si:i.
C. W. Allison objected to the use of City funds, and particularly
Park and Recreation funds, for the purchase of Mrs. Hunnicutt's apartment house;
and asked what the specific plans of the City are for this apartment house.
It was explained that the purchase will be made from General Funds,
not from Park and Recreation funds; that the property is included in the area

scheduled for the Arts & Science Center development; that the resolution adopted
by the Council stating the intention of the City in this matter is public record
and on file in the City Secretary's office; and that the Council believed the
Arts & Science Center project vas a wonderful opportunity for progress and
growth of the area and of great benefit to the citizens of the City and of the
area.
Mt. O. W. Whitley protested that he had been denied permission to erect
an adequateiy sized sign for hie Gold Dome Harahvxger stand at the corner of
'Lexington and Moravian by the Board. of Adjustment, and that the size sign he
had applief vas atsolutely essential for his business. He commented further
that two other applicants, Texaco Company and Goodyear Tire Company, were also
denied permission to erect their standard signs which are recognized all over
the country to identify their products.
Commissioner B/ackmon felt that a more realistic ordinance with re-
spect to signs is urgently needed; that Mr. Anderson, Director of Planning,
has been delayed in his work on this matter as he has been in Washington work-
ing on the plans for the new highway; and urged that such an ordinance be pre-
sented for Work Shop as soon as possible.
Mr. Whitley was advised to apply for a change of zoning to "B-4" Gen-
eral Business District as the matter would then came before the City Council,
but that the Council has no power to act on an action of the Board of Adjust-
ment.
Mr. Elmer Pope, Chairman of the Steering Committee for the People -to -
People Program, explained that he needed the Mayor's permission and that of the
president of the Musicians Union to record on tape the Sunday night concert on
the T -Head to send to our Sister City in Japan, Yokosuka, and requested also
that Mayor Barnarf say a few words on the tape to the citizens of Yokosuka,
Mayor Barnard gave hie permission for the tape to be made and agreed
to speak, and congratulated Mr. Pope on the enthusiasm and work of the Committee.
Commissioner Blackmon requested the passage of a resolution to take
to Austin with him on Monday, urging the early completion of Interstate High-
way 37 from San Antonio to Corpus Christi in time for the Hemis Fair to be held
