Mayor Jack R. Blackmon called the meeting to order.
The Invocation was given by the Reverend Mark Rutherford, Pastor of South
Shore Christian Church.
City Secretary T. Ray Kring called the roll of those in attendance.
Motion by Sizemore, seconded by Bradley and passed, that the absence of
Commissioner McDaniel be excused for just cause.
The Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting of February 3, 1971, were approved
as submitted to the Council.
Mayor Blackmon announced proclamations designating February 21 through 27,
1971, as FREEDOM WEEK, and February 21 through 27, 1971, as ENGINEER'S WEEK in the
City of Corpus Christi.
Mr. Jim Gillin appeared representing the local Taxpayers' Association, and
questioned the Council's intention to call a bond election for a proposed community
center. He stated they were opposed to the election for two specific reasons: (1)
the projected cost would nearly double the City's bonded indebtedness and (2) that
some 200 people would be displaced at a time when housing is already scarce. He
stated that there would be no way to finance the project other than through tax
resources, that it could not be considered to be in the interest of public welfare,
and that he seriously requested the Council to reconsider their decision to pursue
the election further.
City Manager Townsend stated he would respond to Mr. Gillin's questions but
did not feel this to be an appropriate time.
City Manager Townsend presented for Council consideration the following
ordinance to be filed for record in the office of the County Clerk as required by
law:
ORDINANCE NO.10102

The Charter Rule was suspended and the foregoing ordinance was passed by
the following vote: Blackmon, Lozano, Bradley, de Ases, Roberts and Sizemore,
present and voting "Aye"; McDaniel absent.
City Purchasing Agent Robert Walker opened and read one bid in the amount
of $9,000 received from the Parkway Church of Christ for surplus City -owned property
located at the intersection of Brawner Parkway and Dakin Place containing 25,744
feet.
The foregoing bid was tabled for 48 hours as required by the City Charter and
referred to the City Manager for tabulation and recommendation.
Mayor Blackmon announced the public hearing for the closing of a 36.95 foot
section of alley located between Heinley Street and Morgan Street adjacent to Lot 1,
Block 20, Segrest Addition.
City Manager Townsend explained that the request was made by letter over
signature of Dr. P. Jimenez, owner of Lots 1 and 2, Block 20, which stated that the
alley -easement is unused and crosses his property. Mr. Townsend stated the request
had been circulated to the affected City Departments in the usual manner; there are
no utility lines located in the alley; and that there had been no objections to
closing the alley. He stated it was his recommendation that the alley be closed
and that the Council also consider means to dispose of the small triangular tract
which is separated by the alley either by sale to the owner at an appraised value
based on what value it would add to the abutting property, or lease the tract to the
owner with the responsibility of maintaining it. He explained that by closing the
alley one-half would revert to the property owner and the other one-half to the City,
leaving this small tract surplus to the City's needs.
Following discussion of the recommendation, it was agreed that it would be
logical to dispose of the matter of closing the alley and disposition of the triangu-
lar tract at the same time.
No one appeared in opposition to the request.
Motion by Roberts, seconded by Sizemore and passed, that the hearing be
closed.
Motion by Roberts, seconded by Sizemore and passed, that the foregoing matter
be tabled for further consideration.
Mayor Blackmon announced the public hearing for the closing of the alley
located between Lots 1 through 8 and 9 and 10, Block 9, between the business area

and residential area in South Park Addition.
City Manager Townsend explained that the proposed closing of the alley had
been the subject of a public hearing held October 2, 1968, and had terminated in a
denial on October 1, 1969. He described the location as being an alley running per-
pendicular from Padre Island Drive and leading to Merrimac through the center of the
Block; that the proposal had reached the Council by letter from Datsun of Corpus
Christi, Inc., accompanied by the required $25 dollar filing fee, and a petition
signed by seven adjacent property owners stating they agreed to the request to
"eliminate the existing City ordinance of a 30 foot fire lane on Lots 9 and 10, Block
9, in the 3800 Block of South Padre Island Drive for the erection of a 6 -foot redwood
fence along this property line." Mr. Townsend stated it was not clear to him how
the phraseology of "fire lane" became involved, but explained that it is an unopened
but dedicated alley and is not a fire lane. He stated the proposal had been circulated
to the various City Departments; that the Fire Department had indicated some objection
possibly through a misinterpretation of the term "fire lane" and that the opposition
was not really warranted. He stated there are utilities leading in both directions
which should be retained; that the Rollins sign had been removed and no longer an
issue; that the Public Works Department's response was that their original recom-
mendation remains unchanged which indicated several conditions which should be adhered
to if the alley is closed: (1) the construction of some type of curb, either curb
and gutters or header, and the diversion of water from the alley to drain across
Padre Island Drive or Merrimac Street; (2) construction of a standard screening fence
in the center of the alley; and (3) retention of the utility easement.
Mr. Jim Carey, 1558 Daytona, spoke on behalf of the property owners stating
he is the lessee, and that they are willing to construct the fence at the edge of the
easement as directed by the City, and that the necessary portion will be deeded over
to the abutting property owners for erection of the fence.
Mr. Paul Fly, attorney, spoke on behalf of Frank's Inc., stating that the
owners were not parties to the application but did join in the request for the clos-
ing of the alleyway and if necessary he would prepare the legal documents for lease,
or deed, of one-half of the alley which would revert to the owners.
No one appeared in opposition to the foregoing request.
Motion by Lozano, seconded by Bradley and passed, with de Ases abstaining,
that the hearing be closed.

Motion by Sizemore, seconded by Lozano and passed, with de Ases abstaining,
that the foregoing request to close the alleyway in South Park Addition, be tabled
for further consideration of problems involving deeds and location of the fence.
Mayor Blackmon announced the informal public hearing for consideration of
the City's position relative to the request of Coastal States Petrochemical Company
to drill five injection wells for industrial wastewater disposal purposes.
City Manager Townsend explained that the applicant had applied to the Texas
Water Quality Board for an initial waste control order pertaining to the subsurface
disposal of industrial wastewater by means of five proposed injection wells to be
drilled to a depth of 6,200 feet with injection depth intervals at 5,000 - 6,000
feet, to be located on company property adjacent to Corpus Christi City limits in
the J. C. Russell Farm Tract. He explained that the result would be a reduction
of quantity of waste water entering the Ship Channel; that he had requested and
received recommendations from Petroleum Superintendent Harry L. Franklin and Mr.
Ab Cock, Public Health Engineer, and that his recommendation would be concurrence
in the recommendation as set out in Mr. Franklin's memorandum of February 17, 1971,
that the City offer no objection to the granting of a permit as proposed on the
following conditions: (1) that a monitor or observation well be provided before
any injection into the reservoir; and (2) that the City be provided the data on
pressures, volumes, and rates of input per well and also thepressureand resexvo,1
data obtained in the monitor or observation well.
Mr. Bernie Paulson, Vice President of Coastal States Petrochemical Company,
spoke on behalf of the request and stated he had been in conference with the City
Staff and had furnished all information available, and that they were agreeable to
the recommendations as set out in Mr. Franklin's letter of February 17, 1971.
No one appeared in opposition to the foregoing matter.
Motion by Sizemore, seconded by Roberts and passed, that the hearing be
closed.
Motion by Roberts, seconded by Lozano and passed, that the City offer no
objection to the Texas Water Quality Board to the request of Coastal States Gas
Producing Company's application to drill five injection wells for industrial waste-
water disposal on their property located adjacent to the City limits in the J. C.
Russell Farm Tract, on the conditions as recommended by Petroleum Superintendent

City Manager Townsend reported that an ordinance regulating the quality
of wastewater of commercial and industrial operations disposing sewage into the
City's Sewage System, is recommended and will be submitted for the Council's con-
sideration next week. He stated that the ordinance would require treatment of certain
wastewater and levy a surcharge against those industries making extensive use of
the sewer system; that he would recommend that the ordinance be placed on a three
reading basis; that it would meet recommendations made by the Texas Water Quality
Board; and that copies would be made available for review by those directly affected
by it.
City Manager Townsend presented pending items and the following actions
were taken:
Motion by Lozano, seconded by Roberts and passed, that the recessed public
hearing relative. to. Urban Renewal be further recessed for one week.
City Manager Townsend submitted to the Council an analysis of the Staff's
recommendations relative to the request of Southwestern Bell Telephone Company which
analysis addresses itself to considerations involved for determination of the fair
value rate to be charged for exchange service in the City and authorizing a schedule
of rates applicable within the City for exchange services. He pointed out that the
request for an increase is justified since the'Company has been operating at the
same rate level for the past 12 years. He stated that the Staff's recommendations
as.discussed at workshop meeting this morning had been communicated to the Telephone
Company and that an ordinance had been prepared on that basis, which he is submitting
