Motion by Bradley, seconded by Roberts and passed, that Mayor Blackmon be excused for cause. The Minutes of the Regular Meetings of July 16 and July 23, 1969, were approved as submitted to the Council. Mayor Pro Tem Lozano read and presented a proclamation designating the week of July 30 - August 5, 1969, as NAVY WAVES WEEK in recognition of this group of volunteer women for their outstanding service. The proclamation was received by Lt. Comdr. Dee Barrett and Seaman Lorie Lange!. Mr. Jim Young and Mr. Odell Ingle, representing the Corpus Christi Board of Realtors, appeared in support of the National Program for better street lighting. Mr. Young stated that the 42 suggested locations presented to the Council have been researched through the Traffic Engineer, and that it is felt that the lighting of these areas is urgently needed and deserves immediate attention to help curb crime. Mr. Ingle stated that the local Board has adopted the National Board's proclamation "Light the Night" and urged the Council to try and find the funds to make this possible. (Council Exhibit 07-69) City Manager Townsend stated that with the help of these gentlemen, many of these lights are already on order, and expressed appreciation for their efforts. i• Minutes Regular Council Meeting July 30, 1969 Page 2 Mayor Pro Tem Lozano announced the public hearing on the proposed budget for the fiscal year 1969-70. City Manager Townsend presented a summary of the proposed budget, and stated that the budget, as presented, is based on estimated revenues and expenditures for a total budget of $28,121,504, representing an overall increase of $2,843,000, or 11.3 per cent over last year's total budget. Mr. Townsend explained that the budget is not complete in detail but sets the upper limits of anticipated expenditures. He explained that detailed budgets on most of the general fund will be subsequently submitted, and that the Council has the authority to amend, transfer, or modify the budget after it is adopted within the context of the total resources available, and that any desired changes now or in the future can easily be made as long as estimated income increases or there is concurrence in reducing some programs to increase others. Mr. Townsend explained that major increased revenues include water rates amounting to $1,640,000; Sales Tax, estimated over last year, $797,000; Cable TV, Estimated $165,000, or more; and property tax at the present $1.60 per one hundred dollar assessed valuation in the amount of $356,000; for a total increase of anticipated revenues in the amount of $2,958,000. Mr. Townsend stated that the budget includes salary raises for all City Employees, ranging from 8 per cent at the lowest level to 7 per cent in the middle, setting a minimum to a maximum of $90 a month and starting salaries at $301 a month, to be effective as of July 27, which is the last break in the pay period. He stated that the water rate schedule prepared by an outside consulting firm and approved by the Council sets the minimum monthly charge an increase from $1.00 to $1.50 for in -City customers and from $2.25 to $3.00 for those outside the City limits except those on Padre Island who will pay a minimum of $5.00 in recognition of the high cost of extending facilities to the Island. He explained that the water rates to residential consumers have not increased in the City for more than two decades, and that this increase should serve the City for the next ten years. • • Minutes Regular Council Meeting July 30, 1969 Page 3 Mr. Townsend listed other increased expenditures as follows: employment of a fulltime budget officer and a department of urban development; addition of 15 persons to the Police Department, including two police women, and acquisition of land north of the station for a car compound; addition of three men, a garbage truck and two brush trucks in the Sanitation Division; addition of eight men and additional equipment for street cleaning; four additional men for the Park Department; reroofing of Memorial Coliseum; additional street lighting; expanded air and water pollution activities in cooperation with the State and Federal Government; ambulance service payments; additional assistance from the General Fund to maintain the present Transit service; one additional janitor for International Airport; expansion of the Texas Municipal Retirement System from the existing $300 base to $400 per month; continuation and expansion of existing programs with Chamber of Commerce for Tourist and Convention advertising funds; insurance fund, which is a new addition but is only an accounting entity to simplify cost distribution; and expansion of Fire Department equipment and personnel. Mr. Townsend concluded that generally, the Budget provides a sound step forward; that outstanding water revenue bonds and $7,000,000 of General Obligation bonds should be able to be sold during 1969-70 without any tax increase, and employee turnover should be minimized by the salary and added retirement benefits. He stated that the budget, as presented, should place the City in a sound position to move forward, and recommended its adoption. Mr. Paul Montemayor, Human Relations Director for the United Steel workers of America, appeared and inquired as to what provision had been made for improvement of air and water pollution; what funds were provided for financing street, drainage, and sidewalk improvements when abutting property owners petition for them and agree to pay their pro rata share; what appropriations had been made to relieve increased workload through the summer months in the Sanitation Division; and what provisions for expansion of the Economic Development Program. • Minutes Regular Council Meeting July 30, 1969 Page 4 Mr. Townsend explained that more than $1 million in bond constructions funds for neighborhood street improvements will be requested in the next bond election, and that the budget includes debt service funds to finance the bonds. He stated that the City's activities for expansion of air and water pollution programs will be administered through the Health Department, and will reflect an increase of the City's portion of approximately $8,000; that an additional five men will be employed in the Sanitation Department, and that the budget provides enough flexibility to employ other personnel and equipment if it is the desire of the Council so long as the expansion comes within the printed content of the total appropriation. He stated he shares Mr. Montemayor's concern relative to working conditions in the Sanitation Department; and that the City is constantly improving the level of equipment. Mr. Townsend stated that the Urban Development Program is through the Director who is keeping the City abreast of the many State and Federal assistance programs and will coordinate them as they apply locally. Mr. Townsend mentioned housing relocation as a specific need. Reverend Don Peavy, member of the Library Board, stated that while the Board appreciates the consideration that has been given the Library System, more personnel is needed; stated that Mrs. Phyllis Burson is doing a tremendous job, but predicted that it will become impossible for her to continue to stay ahead of her job on funds allocated for this department. Mr. R. S. Franklin appeared and asked for a breakdown and clarification of the six to eight per cent pay raise proposed for City Employees, and Mr. Townsend explained that the 8% is proposed for those salaries up to $330; 7% from that figure up and including $806, and at that point the percentage drops until those employees who are at the highest point will receive no more than $90 increase or approximately five per cent. Mr. Pinkerton, former employee of the Fire Department, appeared and inquired as to what consideration had been given to new equipment for the Fire Department; expansion of fire protection at the Airport, and expressed need for a full sized fire boat for the Port of Corpus Christi. He stated he feels the welfare of employees are being overlooked; that the increased revenue from the Sales Tax and water revenue should go Minutes Regular Council Meeting July 30, 1969 Page 5 to the City employees. He further stated that the new bi-weekly pay schedule is proving to be unsatisfactory and working a real hardship on some employees. City Manager Townsend explained that the City is not equipped to have a full time around the clock fire crew at the Airport; that the City is faced with this problem, but th,e question of how and when it should be considered has not been answered. He stated that so far as the suggestion that a fire boat should be operated at the Port, it is planned to better define the firefighting responsibility of this area. He stated that this type of equipment is very expensive and requires a larger staff; that these are all problems facing the City now, but that he does not feel this budget is the appropriate time. Mr. Townsend pointed out that the salary increase, including retirement benefits included in the budget, represents a large per cent of the overall increase of the total budget, and that this percentage reflects the true picture of that consideration. In answer to a question from Mrs. James C. Scott, Mr. Townsend explained that the Water System is on a pay-as-you-go basis; that the rates have been based on a cost analysis as applied to industrial rates and residential rates, and that major new construction cannot be supported out of current funds. No one else appeared to speak on the proposed 1969-70 budget. Motion by McDaniel, seconded by Sizemore and passed, that the hearing be closed. Mayor Pro Tem Lozano called for the City Manager's Reports. Motion by McDaniel, seconded by Roberts and passed, with de Ases voting "Nay" on Items "a", "b", and "c", that the City Manager's Reports be accepted, and that the requests and recommendations be granted and approved as follows: a.
