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 February 3, 1965 Page 12 • 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 Council approve payment of semi-final Estimate No. 9 in the amount of $57,625.49, retaining $6,300 pending corrections to the four items of work, and that the pro- ject be considered as substantially complete within the contract time; and ex- plained that the following completion of all work, including the two Change Orders authorized earlier in this meeting, acceptance and final payment for the construc- tion can be authorized. Motion by Young, seconded by de Leon and passed that payment of Estimate No. 9 in the amount of $57,625.49 to F. M. Thornton for construction of Unit III, Oso Sewage Treatment Plant, be approved.
