Ray Kring called the roll of those in attendance. The Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting of June 2, 1971, were approved as presented to the Council. Public Works Director Jack McDaniel opened and read the following bids for the sealing and repairs of the joints of the main apron at International Airport: R. S. Black and Townsco Construction Company. The foregoing bids were tabled pursuant to the requirements Of the City Charter and referred to the City Manager for tabulation and recommendation.. Mayor Sizemore announced the scheduled public hearing on the closing of six streets and four alleys in the Hillcrest area in connection with the Hillcrest Neighborhood Improve- ment Program. City Manager Townsend pointed out on a map the streets and alleys under consideration. He pointed out that Minton, between Peabody and Kennedy, is the only street which carries any traffic, and that the closing will make it possible to connect Crossley School playground with the park. He explained that a Housing and Urban Development grant will provide for future park expansion. He stated that the following street and alley closings are recommended because they serve no useful purpose: The alley behind the Park and Cemetery from Minton to West Broadway is not open to traffic; Moore, from Peabody to the Cemetery is a dead end; Summers, from Peabody to the Cemetery is a dead end; Dempsey, from Kennedy to the Alley shows no street there now; Priour, from Winnebago to General American Tank Farm is a vacant Minutes Regular Council Meeting June 16, 1971 Page 2 lot; and Coke, from Nueces to General American Tank Farm is a vacant lot. He explained that it is proposed that most of the streets be closed but in various degrees, some with reference to easements, some to vehicular traffic, and some at one end, and that this be worked out in the best possible manner so as to lose any characteristics as streets. He explained that Dempsey Street will be developed as a parking area in connection with the park, and will be arranged so that vehicular traffic will not be allowed from Dempsey to Peabody. He explained that there are existing water, gas, sewer and power lines in the area, and that it is the recom- mendation of the Staff that easements be retained for these utilities, and that the fire lanes located in the two dead end streets, Prior and Coke, be retained. Mr. Townsend stated that the proposal had been routinely circulated to the various affected City Departments and that all had concurred that the proposed street and alley closures with the reservations stipulated will benefit the subdivision. Mr. Townsend explained the Neighborhood Improvement Program in Hillcrest and its relation to the proposed closings, and stated that the goal of this hearing is to take away whatever might be a negative influence on this Program. He explained the Street improvement program which is to be developed in stages, and pointed out that the proposed street and alley closings would in some instances serve to avoid assessments. Interested persons in the audience were given an opportunity to question Mr. Townsend as to the overall plan and its effect on their individual properties relative to ingress and egress, parking, location of parks, the Bay View Cemetery, drainage, street and sidewalk improvements, and rental property. The following persons appeared seeking information but did not oppose the overall plan: Reverend T. 14. Bruton, 1302 Palm; Mr. Lonnie King, 1510 Rameriz; Mr. Wm. Wynn, 1814 Kennedy; Mrs. Edwin Suldon, 1623 Lexington; Mr. Ernest Korges, 1418 Kennedy; and Mr. Elvin Marshall, 4533 Jose Street. Attorney Mike Kendrick, representing the Southwestern Oil and Refinery, appeared and stated they did not oppose the proposed closings, but pointed out that this company has several 8,000 -barrel oil tanks located near Prior and Coke Streets, and asked for assurance that the fire lanes would be retained. • Minutes Regular Council Meeting June 16, 1971 Page 3 City Manager Townsend stated that it k his recommendation that these two fire lanes be retained and that they be adequately paved. He further stated that it was his recommendation that this proposal be tabled for further consideration, and that problems be worked out with each individual property owner, to be presented to the Council for review. Motion by Lozano, seconded by Bonniwell and passed, that the hearing be closed. Motion by Lozano, seconded by Stark and passed, that the foregoing matter be tabled for further review. Mayor Sizemore announced the informal public hearing for the purpose of determining the City's position regarding the application of Central Power and Light Company for water discharges into Cayo del Oso for the proposed Barney M. Davis Power Station. Mr. Townsend explained the procedures established for disposition of applications of this nature, and stated that basically, the application consists of five different: proposals for average and maximum flow of industrial waste water, treated domestic sewage effluent, floor washing and cooling water, to be discharged into Oso Creek, thence into Cayo del Oso, and eventually into Corpus Christi Bay. He stated that copies of the application, and comments of Public Health Engineer, A. L. Cock, containing his recommendation that based on biological and ecological studies made in that area, the request be approved subject to certain conditions as set out in these comments. Also a recommendation of Dr. W. R. Metzger, City -County Health Director, that he feels there is no data to suggest any adverse effects of the current plan. Mr. A. F. Harper, Superintendent of Power Stations Design and Construction, presented the application with drawings of the proposed plant, reviewed the Company's background and explained the technical and environmental aspects of the request. He pointed out the boundary lines of the site, the need for this station to furnish electric power in the south portion of the City, difficulty in selecting a site because of the need for salt water, and the need for at least 2,000 acres of land . He explained plans for a 1, 150 -acre cooling lake, stating that the temperature of the water leaving the plant will be 20 degrees higher than the intake, will spend 8 days in the cooling pond, and that the temperature of the water going into the Oso will be four -tenths of a degree hotter. than intake after initial installation, Minutes Regular Council Meeting June 16, 1971 Page 4 and that after the second unit is built, the water will be 1.4 degrees hotter, . Members of the Council and persons in the audience, Mrs. James C. Scott, Mrs Harry Trimble, Mr. Charles Taylor, Dr. Armstrong Price, Mrs. Mary Thorpe, and Dr. and Mrs. Hans Suter, questioned Mr. Harper regarding the increased salinity of the flow from the plant's cooling pond, its effect on fishing, the quantity of salt build-up, the odor from algae, heat increase in the Oso, type of levy, control gates, and mamitoring of the lake level. Mr. Frank N. Mosely, Ph.D. of the Unitersity of Corpus Christi, explained the biological and ecological effects of the proposed discharge relative to salinity, fishing and algae. He stated that the Oso is environmentally very unstable and the proposed discharges would tend to produce a more stable environment, would not have a detrimental effect on marine life, and that a larger area for fish would result. He stated that dykes will be built and that the Corps.; of Engineers will be consulted on building of these dykes; that precautions are taken to control drainage; that control gates to control lake level will be installed; that soil cement will be used for the levi@s; that temperature of the lake will be monitored, and that there is not expected to be extensive algae growth. Motion by Bonniwell, seconded by Stark and passed, that the hearing be closed. Motion by Bonniwell, seconded by Branch and passed, that action on the foregoing application of Central Power and Light Company for water discharges into Cayo del Oso be deferred pending adoption of the City Manager's Reports, specifically Item "s".' relative to passage of a resolution regarding the development of Tract "C" of the Oso. Mayor Sizemore called for the City Manager's Reports. City Manager Townsend presented the following recommendations: a.

He explained that since the original acquisition in 1956, there have been some 15 major groups interested in the development of the Oso and others who expressed some interest but s • Minutes Regular Council. Meeting June 16, 1971 Page 9 did not submit plans for consideration. He stated that numerous studies have been made, the Oso Bay Area Study Committee in 1961, which concluded that the City was not in a financial position to develop the entire tract for public use but because of bad odor and blowing sand, that private development should be encouraged; that following this study, a prospectus was prepared setting out the City's specifications which called for construction of a vehicular bridge at a cost of $250,000; that in 1966, the Area Development Committee prepared a plan for development which outlined a suggested traffic circulation and rerouting of Ocean Drive, a design for inland areas and a suggested land use plan; that the relocation of Ocean Drive was included in the 1966 Bond Election but was defeated. Mr. Townsend explained that the resolution which is -being presented to the Council for approval would be an expression of the Council's intent that the Oso should be developed, and that the Oso Development Company's general proposal is appropriate for Tract "C" under the terms and conditions set out in the recommendation and embodied in the resolution. Mr. Curtis B. Dyer, attorney representing the Ocean Farms Research, Inc., appeared and protested the granting of an option to the Oso Development Corporation without considera- tion of their proposal stating that Mr, Townsend has in his files letters from his company dated in March and April of this year expressing interest in development of the Oso as a shrimp farming project. He explained that his firm's operation would require that land fill be used according to the State's required level of three feet. Mr. Dyer objected to the fact that the Oso Development Company was given no deadline to start their work. He asked if the option proposed to be granted to Oso Development Company would extend for the full 6 -year period of the City's Patent, and would other interests be prohibited from making proposals during this period. Mr. Townsend explained that so far as Tract "C" is concerned, the passage of this resolution would eliminate any other applicant during this period which Oso Development Company was pursuing development of their project, but pointed out that the Council would expect progress and that progress would be determined by the Council as to whether or not the Company was pursuing the development dxpeditiously and that the Council would revoke the option if the development did not proceed with reasonable expectations. Mr. Townsend • • Minutes Regular Council Meeting June 16, 1971 Page 10 stated he is in possession of the file of the proposal for developing the area for shrimp farming, but that the proposal did not include raising the land to three feet above sea level, without which there would be no way the City could accept the proposal or convey title. the Mrs. James C. Scott asked that the Council table/decision on the matter and reconsider the entire concept of development of the Oso, and with reference to the fact that the prospectus for development was made in 1961, stated that the concept of develop- ment of the Oso may have become obsolete and there may be obsolescent factors in the Harlan-Barholomew Plan. Mr. Hans Suter, ecologist, questioned the source of funds available for the proposed development, and commented that the area could become a great liability because of its high risk with relation to hurricanes. He suggested park development instead of acquiring other land for open space. Mrs. J. Gordon Bryson, 241 Bayside, commented that it would appear that the City is giving this private company the land plus $750,000 for private enterprise. Mr. Townsend pointed out that removing the effluent would cost approximately $333,000, and emphasized the taxes which the City could collect from the residential development would be substantial. Mr. Richard H. Sams, associate of Ocean Farms Research, Inc., explained the technical procedures of shrimp farming, stating that it was not an inexpensive project and that the environmental aspects of the operation would be controlled. Others present and speaking in support of the proposed resolution were Mr. Jim Newburn, project director of the Oso Development Company; Mr. Sam Frech, 6073 Edge- water, resident in the area of the Oso; and Mr. Ben D. Marks, President of Padre Island Investment Corporation. A lengthy discussion followed between members of the Council and the proponents and opponents of the Oso Development Company's proposal. Mr. Townsend pointed out that the subject resolution is being presented on a three -reading basis and that the matter will not be closed to further discussions. • • Minutes Regular Council Meeting June 16, 1971 Page 11 Mayor Sizemore agreed with the suggestion of Mayor Pro Tem Bonniwell that the representatives of Ocean Farms Research, Inc. be invited to attend the Workshop Meeting of the Council for further discussions of their proposal. Mr. Charles McKenzie appeared relative to Item "p" of the City Manager's recommendations which requested 'authority to execute a contract with Padre Island Investment Corporation whereby the City will build a 500,000 gallon per day tertiary sewage treatment plant on Padre Island after receiving assistance from the Company and State and Federal agencies, and questioned the City's role of being the channel for Federal funds for a private corporation. City Manager Townsend explained that by this action the City would be assured that a good sewage system would be installed in an area which is on the City's doorstep. He pointed out that this community is involved with Padre Island, that the developer has cooperated with the City in every respect in meeting all the requirements for streets, platting, water and sewage systems, and that he has no reservations relative to this recommendation. Motion by Bonniwell, seconded by Gonzales and passed, that the City Manager's Reports, Items "a" through "z" be accepted, and that the requests and recommendations be granted and approved as presented. Motion by Bonniwell, seconded by Bosquez and passed, that the Texas Water Quality Board be advised that the City does not oppose the application of Central Power and Light Company for water discharges into Cayo del Oso for the proposed Barney M. Davis Power Station, on the following conditions as recommended by Public Health Engineer A. L. Cock and Dr. W. R. Metzger, City -County Health Director which have been agreed to by the appl i cants: 1. That the spoil dredged from their intake channel in the Laguna Madre be placed on Pita Island and on the mainland thereby eliminating any destruc- tion of the nursery grounds that are on each side of the proposed channel and also eliminating any possible changing or rerouting of natural currents in that area. 2. The monitoring of wells in the adjacent area as well as their suggested use of shallow well point systems for monitoring any chemical change adjacent to the cooling pond. Minutes Regular Council Meeting June 16, 1971 Page 12 • 3. Looking into the possibility of an emergency discharge back into the Laguna Madre along the south side of the cooling pond if conditions arose in the Cayo del Oso that would warrant this procedure.
