Blackmon Mayor Pro Tem Gabe Lozano, Sr. Commissioners: Dick Bradley, Jr. Eduardo E. de Ases W. J. Roberts Ronnie Sizemore City Manager R. Marvin Townsend City Attorney Jim Riggs City Secretary T. Ray Kring • 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 DETERMINING THE NECESSITY FOR AND ORDERING THE IMPROVEMENT OF McBRIDE LANE, FROM LEO- PARD STREET TO AGNES STREET, IN THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI, NUECES COUNTY, TEXAS; REQUIRING THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS TO PREPARE AND FILE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS; REQUIRING THE CITY SECRETARY TO FILE A NOTICE IN THE OFFICE OF THE COUNTY CLERK, NUECES COUNTY, TEXAS, AS TO THE ACTION HEREIN; PROVIDING HOW SUCH IMPROVEMENT SHALL BE PAID; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY. • Minutes Regular Council Meeting February 17, 1971 Page 2 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 • Minutes Regular Council Meeting February 17, 1971 Page 3 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. • Minutes Regular Council Meeting February 17, 1971 Page 4 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 Minutes Regular Council Meeting February 17, 1971 Page 5 • Harry Franklin as follows: (1) that a monitor or observation well be provided before injection into the reservoir; and (2) that the City be provided the data on pressures, volumes, and rates of input per well and also the pressure and reservoir data obtained in the monitor or observation well, and that the Texas Water Quality Board be advised of this action.
