Regular Council Meeting
February 3, 1965
Page 11
J. M. Gonzales, 6009 Holly Road, explained that Holly Road for several
blocks is only a dirt road; that the shell completely washes away as soon as there
is a rain; that the children from the few houses in this area are not permitted to
ride the school bus anymore since they are within the 2 -mile limit of the school,
but during wet weather cannot walk in the street, and a car can hardly get through,
and it is dangerous to let the children walk the railroad track which runs parallel
to Holly Road.
The matter was discussed; Mr. Gonzales stated he was willing to pay his share
for the paving under the Voluntary Assessment Program which was explained to him,
and was referred to the Paving Coordinator in the Engineering Department; and City
Manager Whitney said in the meantime, he would get a report on what the City can do
to fix the street so it will be passable.
Mrs. John Pichinson, President of the Council of Garden Clubs, and a small
delegation, asked for an answer to their formal request for installation of tempa-
ture controls in the Garden Center Building in the Nature Park; and restated their
proposal to repay the cost of such air-conditioning by the City over a period of
five years from funds received from the rental of this facility.
It was explained that this matter will be considered in a Work Shop session
during a recess of this meeting in order to discuss and consider certain other
items that the Council desires to act on at this meeting.
Motion by de Leon, seconded by Blackmon and passed that the meeting be re-
cessed.
Following the recess, Mayor Barnard reconvened the meeting with the full
Council in attendance.
City Manager Whitney suggested a method by which the request of the Council
of Garden Clubs could be accomplished, to the effect that the present agreement be-
tween the City and the Council of Garden Clubs of November 21, 1963, be amended to
provide that the City will install at its expense the heating and Ar -conditioning
of the building; the Garden Clubs will reimburse the City only for the actual cost
of construction at the rate of not less than $1500 per year; the City will assume
the operating and maintenance cost of the installation; that the minimum payment by
City of Corpus Christi, Texas
Regular Council Meeting

•
the Garden Clubs shall be understood to be solely for the purpose of offsetting
the cost of theair-conditioning and in no respect as payment of rent; the term
amended lease,
of the original lease will be extended for a period of five years from the date of/
the first minimum payment to be made on the last day of each calendar year; payment
of the fifth year to be for the full cost of the installation less payments pre-
viously made; and that the City will agree to apply as payment on the loan, that
portion of the revenue from the building in excess of all operating cost, which
would include maintenance of the building, payment of utilities, and custodial
service.
Motion by de Leon, seconded by Maldonado and passed that an ordinance be
brought forward next week for first reading, approving the method of air-condi-
tioning program just outlined by the City Manager.
City Manager Whitney reported on the construction of modifications to the
Oso Sewage Treatment and Fertilizer Plants, Unit III, and recommended that the
