number of the lots had been acquired by South Texas Cotton Oil Division; and that

�i�.� Mayor Pro Tem Blackmon asked if a new building would be erected on this
property, and Mr. Beckham, General Manager of South Texas Oil Company, stated that
they filed a temporary plat with the Planning Department three years ago when a
building was erected; that it would be an advantage to the City as well as to the

portion of the property that was opened to the City. Mr. Beckham pointed out that
the names of two of the streets had been changed, and that Gonzalez Street was now
ol'ed Rosa Street, and Felipe Street was now San Diego Street; that there were no

City Manager Whitney pointed out that the present rate of $1.65 was
established by ordinance and would remain that rate unless emended by Council.
Commissioner Jimenez stated that he was absent when the Council charged
the Airport Advisory Boar to negotiate; that he felt very strongly that all City
contracts and franchises should be put out on a contract basis first, and then
negotiations could be made by the Council if the bids were unsatisfactory.
Commissioner Wallace suggested that the foregoing motion should be voted
dawn and that Council abide by the votes taken in the past and award the franchise
by "casting lots."
Howard Suddeth, attorney representing Corpus Christi Transportation Company,
asked Mayor Furman if discussion from the audience would be allowed, and Council
advised that discussions from the audience would be allowed before a decision was
made.
Mr. Suddeth spoke against the foregoing motion and stated that he did not
understand the franchise being given to Inland Limousine Service when that company
was offering only 10% of the gross receipts to the City and would use Buick auto-
mobiles, and his company was offering lli% of the gross receipts, would furnish
limousine type automobiles and two vay radio service, and abide by the old
established rate.
In answer to a question from Commissioner McDaniel, Mr. Suddeth stated
that his original bid was for 10% of the gross receipts, and that the lIwas
submitted after the Airport Advisory Board stated they would accept passenger type
vehicles.
Commissioner McDaniel advised Mr. Suddeth that Inland Limousine Service
had also offered 11; that the matter had been pending for quite some time; and
that a decision would have to be made.
Mayor Furman stated that Council was interested in having a fair rate
for passenger fare and that both companies had agreed to abide by the old rate;
and asked Mr. Suddeth if he did not feel that Council had an obligation to the
Advisory Board. Mr. Suddeth replied that the Advisory Board was to advise as
far as obtaining data, information, etc., but that the final decision should be
made by the Council.

Mayor Furman stated that the Council did have the responsibility of maki„g
decisions; that decisions were made after deep thought and discussions; and that it
was a fine Board, diligent and dedicated to their work.
Commissioner Wallace stated that Council had voted in recent weeks to
award the franchise on the basis of using Checker vehicles because they felt they
were best, and asked if they would be countermanding the vote already taken if the
foregoing motion passed, and suggested that the franchise be awarded by "flipping
a coin."
Mayor Furman called for a vote on the motion that the franchise be
awarded to Inland Limousine Service with the present passenger rate of $1.65, and
declared the motion had passed with Jimenez, McDaniel and Sizemore voting "Aye",
Blackmon abstaining, and Dunne and Wallace voting "Nay."

the closing date on his contract is December 29th; that the original plan sub-
mitted at the Commission hearing was rather vague and incomplete, but since that

he planned expensive improvements with landscaping, and that the area would in-
crease in land values. Mr. Lundgren explained that on the rear portion of
