Mayor Furman explained the procedure to be followed, and stated that each member
of the Council had been presented with a Preliminary Assessment Roll; and that Assistant
City Attorney Tom McDowell would conduct the public hearing.
Assistant City Attorney McDowell explained the purpose of the public hearing and
stated that the Staff would offer testimony from the City Engineer and evaluation testi-
mony from a real estate appraiser to substantiate the assessments which appear on the
Preliminary Assessment Roll, and that the hearing was to form a basis on which the Council,
acting as a legislative body, would determine or establish the assessments on the abutting
properties.
Mr. McDowell called Mr. Gerald Smith, City Design Engineer, to testify to the nature,
extent and specifications of the proposed improvements. Mr. Smith stated that the project,
designated as Unit III, Sidewalk Improvements, calls for the construction of sidewalks along
various streets adjacent and leading to both private and public schools within the City;
stated that the assessment rate for the project is calculated on the basis of 807, of the
unit bid price applied to the calculated quantities for the improvements abutting the
property, which is 4 feet wide, 4 inches thick sidewalk at $1.53 per linear foot and for
extra thickness at $1.49 per linear foot; that the total contract price is $49,350.15; the
property owner's assessment is $33,645.37, and that the City's portion of the cost is
$15,704.78.
Bill Roberts testified as to his background and experience which he felt qualified
him as a real estate appraiser for all types of properties in the City of Corpus Christi;
testified that he had personally viewed and understood the extent and specifications of
the proposed improvements; that he had personally viewed within the past week the pre-
liminary assessment roll and each of the properties to be assessed; and that in his opinion,
each of the properties so assessed would be enhanced in value far above the amout of the
assessments.

Mayor Furman stated he would call the names of the property owners as they are
listed on the assessment roll and invited each property owner to state his approval or
objection to any of the proposed improvements or assessments to his property. The follow-
ing persons appeared:
Item #94: Mrs. Francis Golden appeared and objected on the basis that the project
appeared to be "piecemeal", and that 15 feet of the original lot had been taken for a
drainage ditch, and inquired if it is proposed that more of the lot be taken for a side-
walk.
City Engineer Smith stated that the drainage ditch will be moved.
Item #105: Mr. F. J. Jaeger stated that he did not object to the construction of
sidewalks for school children, but that he did object to the location of them as proposed;
stated that school children will have to cross a busy intersection, and that though there
is a traffic light at this location, police cars and ambulances proceed through the red
light signals. He stated that the school children should be routed away from congested
traffic, and that there is available such a route.
Mr. Smith stated that there is a letter on file from the principal of Fraser School
approving the sidewalks as proposed, and that officials of other neighboring schools have
voiced approval.
Item #117: (A.D. Casgrove) Mr. Clifford Cosgrove stated that he is being assessed
for 100 feet of sidewalk, Lots 22 & 21, Block 2, Midway Addition, and inquired as to whether
or not Horne Road from Port Avenue to Prescott will be widened when the Freeway is completed,
and as to where the right of way will come from; stated that if the street is widened at
a later time, will this improvement be torn up and will he be assessed again for paving
and widening the street. Mr. Cosgrove stated he also opposed the proposed improvement,
on the basis that there are no children living on this street; that he does not approve of
the City's method of assessing property owners, and further, he will ask the City's per-
mission to hire his own contractor.
Mr. Smith advised Mr. Cosgrove that he was not in a position to answer his Question
as to whether or not Horne Road will be widened from Port Avenue to Prescott when the
Freeway is completed; that he is in agreement that it is a problem; that if Mr. Cosgrove
would come to his office, he would be glad to go over the maps and plans and give him any
information available in the Engineering Department.

City Manager Whitney advised Mr. Cosgrove that if the sidewalk is constructed as
planned now, and at a later datethe plans call for widening the street in question,
property owners will not be assessed for another sidewalk, that it will be at the City's
expense.
Item #120: Mr. Torcuato Luna appeared and stated that his only objection was that
there is a drainage ditch in front of his house and that he would rather see this removed;
that if the sidewalk is constructed, it will narrow the street unless they plan to take
some of his property.

improvements, but inquired as to the construction of curbs and gutters, and was advised

walk improvements.

ton, and stated that he had instructed her to voice his opposition to construction of side-
walks on Carroll Lane.
Item #201: Mrs. A. G. Mosmeyer appeared in opposition in her own behalf and stated
that there are only two families with children living on this particular block, that the
residents have raised their children without sidewalks; and that if sidewalks are con-
structed, she is fearful other children from other streets where there. are no sidewalks,
will congregate and create a disturbing situation for the retired people living in this
block. She further stated that she had worked for the promotion of the bonds in 1964 to
finance construction of sidewalks, but that she had no idea at that time they would be
built on her block.
Item #203: Mrs. Leon Hernandez appeared and stated that she has no children.; does
not need the sidewalks and that she cannot afford to pay for the assessment; that if the
sidewalks are constructed it will necessitate the destruction of two large shade trees it
front of her house and that she feels the shade is of more value to the children Lc the
neighborhood than the sidewalks, and that she wishes to be recorded as opposed to tk:e
improvements.
Item #208: Mrs. C. E. Busby appeared and concurred in the statements made by Mrs,
Mosmeyer, and that she opposes the improvements.

Item #213: Mr. Stanley Slgwik stated he did not oppose the proposed construction
of sidewalks, but questioned the selection of streets to be improved; stated that he felt
all of Gardendale should have been included; and further, inquired as to the feasibility
of the sidewalks being constructed individually.
Item #217: Mr. H. F. Lumpkin, stated that he objects to the proposed improvements,

Item #218: Mrs. Roy Brown appeared in opposition, stating that she felt the money
should be spent on better drainage rather than sidewalks.
Item #221: Mr. Elmo Blake appeared and stated that he felt the sidewalks should
be constructed on the North side of Cain Drive; that school children will have to cross
Staples Street at the intersection and that it will eventually become necessary to install
a signal light which will adversely affect his business; otherwise, he stated he is in
favor of the sidewalks and that it will enhance his property.
Mr. Smith advised Mr, Blake that the South side of Cain Drive was proposed because
of the existing utility lines and excessive growth on the North side.
Item #222: Mr. R. S. Colley appeared and stated that he was very much in favor of
the proposed sidewalk improvements; that they are fine as far as they go but that there is
no way to "feed the chilfren" into them; that the project should be extended to include the
balance of Santa Fe all the way from Rossiter to connect with the existing sidewalk north,
Item #223: Mr. H, Durwood Thompson stated that he concurred in the statements of
Mr. Colley; that he is not ageinstthe proposed sidewalks, but stated that be feels that a
sidewalk down Rossiter would serve children going to St. Patricks rather than on Minnesota.
Mr. Thompson inquired of the Engineering Department as to the problem of existing utility
poles, gas meters, shrubbery, and the overall appearance of the completed project.
Mr. Smith stated that he agrees there will be problems of encroachments, but that
Central Power & Light and Bell Telephone Company will move the utility poles, and that
the sidewalk will be located back of the curbs to eliminate the moving of shrubbery,
Mayor Pro Tem Blackmon stated that the original petition for sidewalks had come
from St. Patricks School for Rossiter Street, but that the Council had included both Santa
Fe and Rossiter in order to get the matter before the Council for discussion

Item #226: Mr. Norman Beshers stated he was heartily in favor of the proposed
sidewalk improvements.

Item #240: Mr. Leroy J. Boudreau cited an article which appeared in the newspaper
September 15, 1966, in which Assistant City Manager was quoted; that a group of "irate"
parents along Carroll Lane off Padre Island Drive had complained of the lack of sidewalks
and was told that "if a petition will be sent to the Traffic Engineering Department wi'ah
neighbor's signatures I am sure the City Council will give it every consideration";"`hat
if such a sidewalk is installed the homeowners will be assessed 80 percent of the cost of
$1.60 a foot" ;"that if it is the will of the people in the block, they will get a sidewalk
put in".
