Mayor Sizemore announced the public hearing for the closing of Moore Street located between Lexington and the Railroad Tracks beyond Port Avenue, between Blocks 3 and 4, and 7 and 8, in Sunnyside Addition. 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 • Minutes Regular Council Meeting October 20, 1971 Page 2 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.

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.

Mayor Sizemore called for petitions or information from the audience on 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 October 20, 1971 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. • Minutes Regular Council Meeting October 20, 1971 Page 11 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 repealed or amended since its passage. He named 33 establishments in the City which he stated are currently violating this ordinance, He stated they are not asking for immediate enforcement of this ordinance, but merely asking for equal protection under the law. He presented the Council with a proposed ordinance for review, and asked that they be invited to attend the workshop when the matter is discussed. Mr. Rodney Carter, stated that they were not opposed to the sale of the items, but stated that while this ordinance is a valid ordinance, but not enforced, other laws such as arresting a person for not having an identification card, are selectively enforced. City Manager Townsend reported that a letter had been received from the applicant of Zoning Application #771-6, Everhart Corporation, asking that the request for change of zoning on property located on the north side of the 4800 Block of Saratoga Boulevard, on which a public hearing was held by the City Council September 8, 1971, be officially withdrawn. • Minutes Regular Council Meeting October 20, 1971 Page 12 Mayor Sizemore announced the meeting would be recessed during which time the Council would hold the Corpus Christi Municipal Gas Corporation Meeting, and followed by a workshop meeting. * * * * * Mayor Sizemore reconvened the meeting for consideration of appoint- ments to the Area Manpower Planning Council, and the Oso Ecology Advisory Committee.
