Blackmon Mayor Pro Tem Gabe Lozano, Sr. Commissioners: Dick Bradley, Jr. Eduardo E. de Ases Ken McDaniel W. J. Roberts Ronnie Sizemore City Manager R. Marvin Townsend City Attorney I. M. Singer City Secretary T. Ray Kring • Mayor Jack R. Blackmon called the meeting to order. The Invocation was given by the Reverend A. William Benner, Associate Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church. City Secretary T. Ray Kring called the roll of those in attendance. The Minutes of the Special Council Meeting of October 27, 1969, were approved as submitted to the Council. Mayor Blackmon read and presented a proclamation designating Tuesday, November 11, 1969, as VETERANS DAY in honor of our Veterans and as a day dedicated to the cause of world peace, and asked that the day be observed with appropriate ceremonies in honor of those who have borne the burden of defending with arms our freedom. The proclamation was received by Legionaires Paul Zimmerman and G. H. Pankey. Mrs. James C. Scott, spokesman for a delegation representative of the NAACP, and other groups, favoring the enactment of an equal opportunity ordinance, appeared and stated that she had properly requested time on the Council agenda today to speak and "raise some questions relative to the City's position on this matter," but had not received a reply. Also that she had not received a reply to her request for a breakdown of City employees as to ethnic distribution. She stated that some of the Mayor's statements appearing in the morning newspaper regarding what he termed the "Complex Federal Law" should be clarified. Mayor Blackmon stated that Mrs. Scott had requested time on the agenda today, but that she perhaps had not been advised that she would be allowed the time; that an attempt had been made to notify all those who had requested an audience to wait until next week; stated that the article appearing in the morning newspaper, of which Mrs. Scott had referred, had stated the • • Minutes Regular Council Meeting November 5, 1969 Page 2 matter would not be discussed at this meeting. He stated that he had instructed the City Manager to prepare information and suggestions relative to an amendment to the City's bid specifications to require that any firm doing business with the City be an equal opportunity employer, for consideration at the workshop meeting of November 12, and requested that groups, or individuals, wishing to speak on this subject hold their requests in abeyance until the Council has had an opportunity to review the requested information. He further stated that if the Council is given an opportunity to thoroughly review the information from the City Manager, he feels a solution will be reached and will possibly obviate any public discussion on the matter whatever, and advised Mrs. Scott that if she persists, everything that has been accomplished might be undone. Mrs. Scott inquired as to how many of the Council members would be present for the meeting next week in view of the fact that the Staff and Council plan to attend the Texas Municipal League meeting in San Antonio, and if she will be allowed to speak in the meantime or at this meeting. Mayor Blackmon explained that he assumed that all members of the Council would be present for the scheduled meeting next week. City Manager Townsend stated that his office is open and ready to answer any questions between now and the meeting next week. He furnished Mrs. Scott with a copy of the breakdown of City employees as to ethnic distribution which had been made available earlier in the day. Mayor Blackmon announced the opening of bids. Bids were opened and read on Sidewalk Improvements, Unit V, including portions of: Alameda Street, from Hancock to Agnes; Brownlee Boulevard, Buford to Agnes; Chico, Howard to Commanche; Howard, Chico to 19th; Clark, Norton to 150' east; Norton, Naples to Ramsey; Naples, Shely to Norton; McArdle Road, Rodd Field to Nile Drive; Ruth, 22nd to 25th; Santa Fe, Craig to Morgan; Weil Place; McArdle Road, Nesbitt, to Johnson; Shirley Drive; Karen Drive; and John Jones Park.

The foregoing bids were tabled for 48 hours as required by the City Charter and referred to the City Manager for tabulation and recommendation. • Minutes Regular Council Meeting November 5, T969 Page 3 Mayor Blackmon announced the scheduled public hearing for the closing of Lake Street located between North Alameda Street and Sam Rankin Street. City Manager Townsend pointed out on a map the location of the area involved in the request, and stated that this section of Lake Street lies between the Transit Yard and Washington Elementary School; that HUD approval has been received to include this closing in the overall Transit Project; that it is immediately adjacent to the Hillcrest Code Enforcement area; and that the closing will involve the realignment of Winnebago Street. He explained that Lake Street is basically a deadend street, one ending at the railroad tracks and the other at the Housing Authority, and is of little use to the area; stated that there is a problem of too many streets in this area, and the vacated street can be put to a better use by the Washington Elementary School and the City's Transit Yard Facility. Mr. Townsend stated that the notice of the proposal had been published, and all property owners within the notification area notified; that it had been circulated through the affected City Departments and that no objections had been interposed, and that it is his recommendation that the street be physically closed to the public on the condition that easements be retained for existing sewer and water lines. No one appeared in favor or in opposition to the foregoing request. Motion by Sizemore, seconded by Bradley and passed, that the hearing be closed. Motion by Bradley, seconded by Sizemore and passed, that the recommendation of the City Manager be concurred in and that Lake Street, between North Alameda and Sam Rankin Street, be closed subject to retention of easements for existing utilities, and that an ordinance be brought foward effectuating the closing. Mayor Blackmon announced the public hearing on the closing of all buffer zones, planting strips, walkways, alleys and easements in Lots 1 thru 10, Block "A", and Lots 1 thru 4, Block 3, Cooperdale Addition. City Manager Townsend located the involved area on a map, pointing out that it was bounded by Rossi, Rosedale, South Staples and Tom Graham Gardens, an area on which a Special Council Permit had been granted June 12, 1969, for a twin -screen indoor theater, and that the request had come to the Council through Urban Engineering for the applicant, Carthay Realty Corporation. He explained that the reason for specifying both legal descriptions is that some •tes Regular Council Meeting November 5, 1969 Page 4 easements, alleys, etc., may not have been legally vacated on the replat, and that the request is that the planting strips, etc. on the previous plats be vacated. Mr. Townsend explained that the Special Permit for the Theater was granted conditionally, one of which was that the four lots across Rosedale Drive from the proposed theater be retained by the applicants for a period of eighteen months in which time the City Staff would determine and recommend to the City Council that the lots were or were not necessary for additional parking area, the fifth lot to be used as a buffer between the residential area and the parking lot and subject to such regulations as then established by the Council. He stated that the applicant had been made aware of the cost for relocation of the existing water line to come down Rossi Drive and connect at the existing water main and easement in Torn Graham Gardens; stated that the existing gas mains will not need to be disturbed, and that the sewer lines do not serve any areas outside the property described as Lot 4; stated there had been no opposition interposed by the affected City Departments but concluded it is necessary in order that the present development of this tract can be completed according to the Special Permit granted on this property. Mr. Townsend stated it is his recom- mendation that these areas be closed subject to the relocation of the existing water main and the shifting of the burden of determining need for the lots across Rosedale for parking so that the lots would be restricted for parking purposes unless the owner can show to the satisfaction of the City Council at the expiration of eighteen months that the lots are not needed for parking. Mr. Carl Chase, attorney representing his brother who lives in the area, appeared in opposition to the proposed closing, stating that it is not good public policy to abandon City property without compensation. He questioned the City's legal authority to do so, and asked an opinion in this regard from the City Attorney. He stated the closing will create traffic problems to residents in the neighborhood and make pedestrian travel difficult for school children attending Fisher and Cunningham Schools. City Manager Townsend explained that none of the areas involved in this request are in the public rights of way, but are all contained within the subject lots; that they do not show on the ground - only on the plat. Mayor Blackmon explained, as to the City's authority to abandon property without com- pensation, that he does not sign an ordinance until after it has been approved by the City Attorney, and that he has assurance that the ordinance, if approved by the City Attorney, will withstand • Minutes Regular Council Meeting November 5, 1969 Page 5 any arguments in court as to the City's authority. He suggested that, in the meantime, Mr. Chase consult personally with Mr. Singer on this issue. Mr. Joseph Hans spoke in favor of the closing; gave a brief history of the platting process of the property, and stated he is glad somebody has found a use for this property. Motion by Sizemore, seconded by Lozano and passed, that the hearing be closed. Motion by Bradley, seconded by Roberts and passed, that action on the foregoing request be tabled for further consideration. Mayor Blackmon called for the City Manager's Reports. Motion by Roberts, seconded by Lozano and passed, with de Ases abstaining on Item ".a", that the City Manager's Reports, Items "a" through "I" be accepted, and that the requests and recommendations be granted and approved as follows: a.
