City Manager Townsend explained that the request had come by letter
signed by Truckers Equipment, Inc., Crane Industries, Inc., and St. John First
Baptist Church, the only property owners abutting the subject property. He
stated that the request had been accompanied by all the supporting material
prerequisite to street closings; that the request had been processed through the
various City Departments more rapidly than usual because the two blocks of
request extend from Lexington one block into Hillcrest across Port Avenue and
into the Leathers Housing Project which is included in the Hillcrest Improvement
Project; that the contract for this work has already been assigned, assessments

have been levied, work is in progress, and that it is imperative to know if Moore
Street will be closed in deference to this project. He stated there are some
minor problems since the project proposed in Moore Street between Lexington and
Port includes installation of curb and gutter, sidewalks and driveways, as well as
the new pavement and base, and that it is recommended that the street be closed
subject to the owners paying for permanent improvements on Port & Lexington; the
owners paying the total cost of removing all semblance of a street intersection
at Port and Moore Street, which includes curb gutter and sidewalk construction and
and some pavement repair; that utility easements for all lines be retained, and
that driveways be permitted only at owners expense.
Mr. Virgil Crane, representing Crane Industries, Inc., stated the con-
ditions as presented by City Manager Townsend would be acceptable except for the
construction of curb which would obstruct the access to Port Avenue from the St.
John First Baptist Church.
Mr. Townsend explained that he had generalized his comments relative to
curbs on Port Avenue. He stated that Port Avenue is not included in the contract
at this time, but that it is his opinion that the existing street on the west side
of Port must be visibly removed.
Mr. McBride, representing Truckers Equipment Inc., appeared and stated
they would be willing to accept whatever costs necessary to remove any semblance
of a street where requested, and accept cost of relocating, if necessary, the
City's utility lines.
No one appeared in opposition to the foregoing request to close Moore
Street.
Motion by Branch, seconded by Bonniwell and passed, that the recommenda-
tion of the City Manager be concurred in and that an ordinance be brought forward
closing all of Moore Street between Blocks 3 and 4, and 7 and 8, in Sunnyside
utility
Addition, with the following conditions: that easements for all/lines be retained;
that abutting property owners be responsible for eliminating any existing street
or street areas; and that curb, gutter and sidewalk be extended across the exist-
ing street at abutting property owners' expense.
Mayor Sizemore called for the City Manager's Reports.
Motion by Branch, seconded by Bonniwell and passed, that the City
Manager's Reports, Items "a" through "n", be accepted and that the requests and

Hall related to damages caused by Hurricane Celia and betterment work in the

Mr. Clifford Cosgrove, 3302 Olsen, questioned the use of the word "con-
tingency" normally used in the language of ordinances when contracts are awarded,
stating that according to the definition of the word that, technically, a con-
tractor could claim the entire amount of the appropriation.
City Manager Townsend explained to Mr. Cosgrove's satisfaction, the
necessity for including contingencies in the award of contracts, but conceded that
"related costs" is preferred language.

matters not scheduled on the agenda.
Mr. Carl Duaine, 1624 Craig, appeared and asked that the Council take
action to reaffirm the action of 1967 waiving the requirement for sidewalks in the
proposed Kingswood Addition in Flour Bluff. He explained that they had asked for
•
Minutes
Regular Council Meeting

Page 10
the waiver at that time because of lack of need for sidewalks, and that they had
made plans and specifications accordingly. He stated that construction had been
delayed for two or three years because heavy rains had washed out the street which
lead into the subdivision. He stated that new plans have been submitted to the
City since the original waiver and that a new waiver is needed in order to proceed
with construction. He stated he had made application to have the street closed.
City Manager Townsend stated that since the action was taken three yeas
ago to waive installation of sidewalks, conditions have changed; that a new
plat had been submitted and that sidewalks will be required. He stated he had
advised Mr. Duaine to submit his concern relative to the plat in writing. It
was agreed that the matter would be discussed at workshop October 25, and that
Mr. Duaine be invited to attend.
Mayor Sizemore temporarily deferred recognition of Mr. Al Dyer, 4122
Christi, and Mr. Rodney E. Carter, 905 Collingswood, who appeared and requested
that they be allowed to read an ordinance passed in 1935 which they stated is not
being enforced. Mayor Sizemore stated he would recognize them later in the meet-
ing after he had had an opportunity to read the ordinance they wished to present.
Mr. Lavernis Royal, 4738 Blackjack, representing residents of Greenwood
Park, and Mr. Wilford E. Ransom, 1713 Bois D'Arc, Vice Chairman of the local
Chapter of NAACP, appeared and presented a petition containing some 70 signatures
in support of the request that the Council purchase a 16 -acre tract of land
located adjacent to Cliff Maus Village for development as a park. They stated
that the land could be used to expand Greenwood Park which would provide "ample
resource" for development of a major park in that area. They further stated they
are strongly opposed to the plans of Mr. John Crutchfield, owner of the land, to
expand the development of the existing housing project, on the basis that it would
congest the westside area with too many low income apartments. They stated they
would not be opposed to single-family residences. (Petition #8-71)
Mr. Clifford Cosgrove, 3302 Olsen, appeared and requested that the City
take some action to enforce the law against shrimping in Corpus Christi Bay. He
reported that he had observed daily ten to fifteen shrimp boats in operation just
outside the harbor.

City Manager Townsend stated that since the City Limits line now extends
to Mustang Island, the City's limits are rather easily defined. He stated that
the matter will be discussed with State Game Officials and a report will be sub-
mitted to the Council for discussion at workshop.
Mr. W. H. Stahl, 4909 Kostoryz, appeared and complained that a copy of
the ordinance, approved by the Council October 13, 1971, granting "B-1" zoning on
his property, had been transmitted to him from the City Secretary's Office through
the Planning Department without signatures, and requested that City Manager Townsend
read his letter of protest of this and other alleged discriminations relative to
the zoning of his property.
City Manager Townsend provided the Council with copies of the letter
referred to by Mr. Stahl, and read the paragraphs which specifically pertained
to his complaint. He stated he had this date furnished Mr. Stahl with another
copy of the ordinance in question complete with signatures and vote sheet.
At this time Mayor Sizemore recognized Mr. Al Dyer who read Section 6
of Ordinance No. 506, dated January 15, 1935, which prohibits the distribution of
contraceptives through vending machines. He stated the ordinance had not been
