Marvin Townsend Acting City Attorney Jim Riggs City Secretary T. Ray Kring Mayor Jack R. Blackmon called the meeting to order and called on Commis- sioner W. J. Roberts to give the invocation in the absence of the invited Guest Chaplain. City Secretary T. Ray Kring called the roll of those in attendance. The Minutes of the Special Council Meeting of May 25, 1970, and of the Regular Meeting of May 27, 1970, were approved as presented to the Council. Mayor Blackmon announced the issuance of proclamations relative to the following: HEARING IMPAIRED DAY, Friday, June 12, 1970, in recognition of the Texas Hearing Aid Dealer's Association holding its first convention in Corpus Christi, and urged citizens to acquaint themselves with the aspects of this worthwhile program, requested by Mr. W. L. Bates; FLAG DAY, June 14, 1970, and FLAG WEEK, June 14, through June 20, 1970, as a time to renew our faith, redouble our efforts and strengthen our determination to preserve and protect the freedoms and liberties which our forefathers endowed us with, and for which so many of our young men and women have fought and died. Mayor Blackmon announced that a vacancy exists on the Bay Drilling Committee created by the resignation of Mr. B. F. Caver who has been transferred out of the City, and placed in nomination the name of Mr. Don Presley of Cities Service Oil Company as his replacement. Motion by Sizemore, seconded by Bradley and passed, that the foregoing nomina- tion be confirmed and that Mr. Don Presley be appointed to serve the unexpired term of Mr. B. F. Caver on the Bay Drilling Committee. Mayor Blackmon recognized Mrs. James C. Scott, member of the Bay Drilling Committee, and President of OPUS, Inc., who had requested a place on the agenda to discuss a matter which she alleged is pollution of the Oso Creek. She made a slide presentation which she stated she had used in her appearance before the Rail- road Commission Meeting on March 4, 1970. Mrs. Scott stated the purpose of her presentation was to urge the City Council not to renew the permits which expire July 1, 1970, and which run concurrently with the Railroad Commission's Minutes Regular Council Meeting June 10, 1970 Page 2 variances, which allows oil field brine to pass through public ditches. She described the area from both aerial and ground photographs, pointing out alleged erosion and deterioration of the soil where oil field brine is being discharged into a series of ditches from oil wells in the Saxet Field which eventually empty into Oso Creek. She stated the salt water is progressively eroding the areas, and that the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department has taken water samples. that show oil pollution. She stated that since her appearance before the Railroad Commission, the Garrison Drainage Company has installed taller skimming devices which catch oil and has improved its monitoring program, but that there still is flooding and collection of sediment. She stated that she did not feel tax dollars should be spent to build and maintain drainage ditches for private companies, citing the bond issue which was passed to improve the Garrison Drainage Ditch. She filed with the City Secretary a copy of the statement which she presented to the Railroad Commission on March 4, 19700 data sheet of samplings from Oso Creek; Reservoir Services, Inc., Core Analysis; and a petition signed by approximately 135 persons indicating their protest to the renewal of the permits granted to Garrison Drainage Company for the purpose of disposing of oil field brine into the public borrow ditches, and ultimately into the Oso Creek. (Council Exhibit #10-70). Mrs. Scott concluded her comments by stating that she respectfully requests that the Council not renew the permits, but instead adopt the 1968 alternate proposal of Petroleum Superintendent Harry Franklin which was to gather the salt water nearer to the field and pipe it to the Ship Channel. City Manager Townsend stated that the drainage ditches referred to by Mrs. Scott are basically City drainage ditches, and that the proposal to channel the discharge into the Ship Channel is no longer economically justifiable. Mr, Michael Kendrick, attorney representing oil interests in the Saxet Field and the Garrison Drainage Company, presented comments in response to those of Mrs. Scott and urged that the revocable permits which expire July 1 be renewed. He stated that no conclusive evidence has been gathered that shows damage to aquatic life. He estimated that 80,000 barrels a day of brine are discharged from the Saxet Field, and that the number of producing wells, now totaling about 80, in the old field is continuing to decline. Mr. Kendrick pointed • Minutes Regular Council Meeting June 10, 1970 Page 3 out that the oil companies make an important contribution to the economy of the area and should be allowed to operate under the present restrictions. He stated it is necessary to review this matter of salt water disposal in its proper perspective, and to do so it is necessary to weigh the benefit to the community of the oil and gas industry which utilizes this means of salt water disposal against any imbalance in nature resulting therefrom. Mr. Kendrick filed his: statement with the City Secretary in writing. (Council Exhibit 011-70) Mayor Blackmon explained that the question of renewal of the permits was not before the Council at this time but would be placed on the agenda for public discussion before any action is taken prior to expiration of existing permits. Mayor Blackmon called for the opening of bids. Bids were opened and read for the construction of Sanitary Sewer Mains in Westwood Heights, Guth Parkside, Martine and Sablatura Additions, from the following firms: W. T. Young; T. H. Lee; Cactus Utility Company; and Heldenfels Brothers.

Zachary; B & E Construction Company; South Texas Construction Company; Heldenfels Brothers; and J. M. Dellinger, Inc.

Mayor Blackmon announced the public hearing for the closing of Avenue B, located between Block 13 and Block 18, running from Elliff Street to Buckhorn, in the Calallen Townsite. City Manager Townsend explained that the request had been made by Mr. Hayden Wing, 13109 Buckhorn; that the street is unopened at present; that there are no utilities located in this portion; and that no objections had been filed by the affected City Departments; and that it is his recommendation that this portion of Avenue B be closed with the provision that the owners of Lots 7, 8, 9 and the east portions of Lois 10, 11 and 12 replat such lots so as to orientate them to West Buckhorn and West Elliff Streets, and to dedicate a portion of Lot 7 to provide the necessary right of way for a cul-de-sac at the then dead end portion of West Elliff Street. • Minutes Regular Council Meeting June 10, 1970 Page 4 Mr. Hayden Wing spoke in support of his request, pointing out that the portion of Avenue B between Block 14 and Block 19, had been closed by ordinance in 1964; that the area is overgrown with weeds and brush and serves no useful purpose. He stated he has no objection to the provision to replat and dedication of right of way for the cul-de-sac. No one appeared in opposition to the foregoing request. Motion by Sizemore, seconded by Lozano and passed, that the hearing be closed. Motion by Bradley, seconded by de Ases and passed, that the recommendation of the City Manager be concurred in and that Avenue B between Blocks 13 and 18, from Elliff to Buckhorn in the Calallen Townsite, be granted with the provision that the owners of Lots 7, 8, 9 and the east portions of Lots 10, 11, and 12, replat such lots so as to orientate them to West Buckhorn and West Elliff Streets, and to dedicate a portion of Lot 7 to provide the necessary right of way for a cul-de-sac at the then dead end portion of West Elliff Street, and that an ordinance be brought forward effectuating the closing. Mayor Blackmon announced the public hearing on the request of the Tuloso-Midway High School Student Council to change the name of Westover Street to War Path. City Manager Townsend stated that the request had been supported by a resolution from the Board of Trustees of the School, and numerous other interested persons; that no objections had been filed; that no houses face on the Street; and that the students had complied with the usual procedures for street name change requests. Mr. Tom Stark, member of the Student Council and spokesman for the group of students present, stated a petition had been circulated to property owners, school officials and students at large and that they had received 100 percent support, that the name "War Path" had been selected as first choice to coincide with the high school students known as Warriors and Cherokees, and that the entire student body was agreeable to this selection. No one appeared in opposition to the foregoing request. Motion by Bradley, seconded by de Ases and passed, that the hearing be closed. The motion. by McDaniel and seconded by Roberts to table the request, failed for lack of sufficient affirmative votes. Motion by de Ases, seconded by Lozano and passed, that the request to change the name of Westover Drive, from La Branch Street to Leopard Street, to "War Path", be granted, and that an ordinance be brought forward effectuating the change. a • Minutes Regular Council Meeting June 10, 1970 Page 5 Mayor Blackmon called for the City Manager's Reports.
