it be placed on three consecutive readings. Mr.
in Corpus Christi who make their living in the
concerned and could be seriously hurt, and that he
feels they should be shown the courtesy of having had an opportunity to read and study
the proposed ordinance and to be permitted to express themselves. He further stated
that those citizens whom he represents are opposed to the licensing of out of town
electricians on the basis that it is unfair to the local electricians who spend their
earnings in the City; that the quality of electrical service would be lowered; that
it would allow "strike breakers" to come in on some jobs; and that the recommenda-
tion did not come from the Advisory Board. Mr. Tucker stated that the basic reason
for appearing today was to urge the Council not to pass the subject ordinance on an
emergency basis, and termed the Council action a "railroad deal" after which Mayor
Blackmon ruled him out of order.
Others appearing and speaking, concurring in the statements of Mr. Tucker
were: Mr, J. U. Clements, Chairman of the Electrical Advisory Board; Mr. Ross
Bishop, Division Manager of National Electrical Contractor's Association; Mr. Harris
Evans, Evans Electric Company; Mr. Robertson, City Electric Company; Mr. Bill
Miller; Mr, Lynn Tate, Licensed Journeyman Electrician; Mr. Richard Sturnbabe; and
Mr, Milford E. Zuck, Electrical Contractor.
Mr. Edwin Balfanz, Executive Secretary for the Associated General Contractors,
spoke in favor of the proposed revision and read a list of approximately 20 Texas
Cities that now recognize licensing out -of -city electricians; stated he did not feel
that "restrictive government" is what the people want, and that he would like to
see the question resolved and the ordinance enacted on an emergency basis.
Mayor Blackmon explained that there are safeguards contained in the pro-
posed ordinance against the fears expressed by the opponents, and that the matter of
revising the electrical ordinance was not a new matter but had been under consideration
through several tenures of City Administrations; explained that it had been the
recommendation of City Manager Townsend that the ordinance be passed on emergency,
but that the responsibility of making a final ruling falls on the mayor; that it
is the Council's prerogative to sustain or not to sustain such ruling. He explained
that Boards and Committees are appointed to serve in an advisory capacity only,

and that the Council is placed in the position of making final and difficult
decisions, but that their actions are intended to represent the interests of the
people of the City as a whole.
City Manager Townsend stated that he had recommended enactment of the subject
ordinance on an emergency basis to coincide with the expiration of terms and reappoint-
ment, of the Electrical Advisory Board in order to provide a more orderly transition
and relieve the gap in the organization.
Motion by Sizemore, seconded by Roberts and passed, with de Ases abstaining
on Item "b", that the foregoing City Manager's Reports, "a" through "i" be accepted,
and that the recommendations and requests be approved and granted as presented.
City Manager Townsend presented the pending zoning application of T & H
Enterprises - Special Use #125, Appeal from the decision of the Planning Commission
under the Zoning Ordinance, for a Mobile Home Park on a 28.6 -acre portion, more or
less, of land out of Lots 3, 4, 11, & 12, Section 53, Flour Bluff & Encinal Farm &
Carden Tracts.
A discussion followed as to whether or not the 20 percent rule applied to
the foregoing appeal. City Attorney Singer was asked for a ruling, and he explained
that it is his opinion that when the Commission makes a decision on applications
for mobile home parks and the decision is appealed by the opposition, that unless
the majority of the Council votaiin favor of reversing this decision, then their
decision would stand, and that the 20 percent rule would not be in effect. However,
he stated he would investigate the law further before making a final ruling.
Motion by Sizemore, seconded by de Ases and passed, that action on the
foregoing Special Use #125, T & H Enterprises, be tabled pending a written opinion
from the Legal. Department as to the application of the 20 percent rule.
City Manager Townsend presented for the Council's consideration the pending
item of Application #869-4, Mr. Billy J. McCombs, for change of zoning from "AB"
Professional Office District to "B-4" General Business District on a portion of
Lot 1R save and except 333' x 268' out of the SW corner, King Square Addition,
located at the rear of the 4600 Block of South Staples fronting on McArdle Road,
on which a public hearing was held September 22, 1969.
Motion by McDaniel, seconded by Bradley and passed unanimously, that the
recommendation of the Staff be concurred in and that the zoning of that part of

Application #869-4, Billy J. McCombs, being a portion of Lot 1R, King Square Addi-
tion, be changed from "AB" Professional Office District to "B-4" General Business
District, except the frontage on McArdle to a depth of 268 feet, thereby leaving an
area of "AB" Professional Office District zoning fronting 758 feet on McArdle Road
with a depth of 268 feet, and that an ordinance be brought forward effectuating the
Che: -se.
City Manager Townsend presented the ordinances appearing on the agenda and
made brief comments of explanation.
Mr. Tucker again spoke in opposition to the proposed ordinance amending
licensing procedures and cited an incident of September 19, whereby he alleged
that the Chief Building Official of the City ordered the acting Chief Electrical
Inspector to waive the requirements of the City Ordinance in connection with con-
struction work at a local junior high school, to allow out -of -the -city workers to
work on the job while others were not able to work.
City Manager Townsend stated he saw no relation to that action and the
action before the Council today; that the request came to him in the form of a
proposal, but that he did not sign it as the request did not comply with the
intent of the ordinance.

Mayor Blackmon announced a brief recess, at which time the Council held
the Regular Meeting of the Corpus Christi Municipal Gas Corporation.
Mayor Blackmon reconvened the meeting and announced that with respect to
the passage of Ordinance No. 9499 it behooveathe Council to appoint a new Electri-
cal Advisory Board, consisting of seven members, two members with at least five
years active experience as a Master Electrician, one with at least five years
active experience as a Journeyman Electrician; two Registered Professional Engineers
in the State of Texas, actively engaged in electrical work as an Electrical Engineer;
one who shall have had at least five years experience in the Commercial Building
Industry, and one with five years experience in the Home Building Industry.

appointments and reappointments be made to the Electrical Advisory Board as follows:
B. L. Guess, appointed to replace J. U. Clements, with term to expire December 31,
1970; that W. Glenn Lain and Lee Roy Cole be appointed, with terms to expire

December 31, 1971; that Trinidad Garza be reappointed with term to expire December
31, 1971, and that Jule Pels, George C. Westervelt, Jr., and D. C. Ware, be reappointed
with terms expiring December 31, 1970.
Commissioner de Asea stated his negative vote relative to the foregoing
appointments was on the basis that he felt the Council was acting too hastr1„y in
de udning the membership of the newly created Electrical Advisory Board and that
it might appear that replacements are being made arbitrarily as a result of dis-
agreement with the Council with regard to the emergency passage of the ordinance
creating the Board. He stated he voted "Nay" on the ordinance for the reason that
he had not had an opportunity to read it.
There being no further business to come before the Council, the meeting was
adjourned.
I, JACK R. BLACKMON, Mayor of the City of Corpus Christi, Texas, certify that the foregoing
minutes, same being for the period of September 1, 1969, to September 30, 1969, inclusive, and
having been previously approved by Council action, are by me hereby approved.
