Electrician); George C. Westervelt, Jr.. (Electrical Engineer); Lynn Tate (Journey-
man); Ira Haley (Home Builder); Phillip Benavides and D. C. Ware,(Citizens at Large).
Motion by Lozano, seconded by Acuff and passed, that the foregoing nomina-
tions for appoints and reappointments to the Electrical Advisory Board, be approved
and confirmed.
Mayor Luby announced the public hearing on the closing of the following
streets in the Nueces County Courthouse site: Mestina Street, from the east right-
of-way of Artesian Street to the west right-of-way of Carrizo Street; Artesian
Street, from the north right-of-way of Lipan to the south right-of-way of Mestina
Street; and Carrizo Street, from the north right-of-way of Lipan to the south right-
of-way of Mestina Street.
City Manager Townsend described the locations of the subject streets on a
transparent map and explained the purpose of the proposed closings for the location
of the new Nueces County Courthouse. He stated that the City Staff had worked with
the County Staff in the finalization of plans and acquisitions of property prepara-
tory to the closings; that property owners had been notified as required by law,
and the proposal routinely circulated through the affected City Departments, Central
Power & Light Company and Southwestern Bell Telephone Company for their comments
and recommendations. He stated there had been no opposition from the various City
Departments but general approval with stipulations relative to the handling of
utility lines; that Central Power & Light Company and the Telephone Company indicated
their utility problems had not been fully resolved but these were minor and could
be worked out. He stated that with those exceptions it is the recommendation of the
Staff that the streets be closed as proposed.
County Attorney Franklin Smith, Judge Robert Barnes, and two members of
the County's architectural Staff were present in support of the proposed closings.
Mr. Smith explained the location of the buildings, parking lot in Block 17, and
landscaping area on North Carrizo. He stated they would answer any questions posed
by the Staff and Council.
No one appeared in opposition to the closing ofthe foregoing streets.
Motion by Lozano, seconded by Acuff and passed, that the following streets
be closed: Mestina Street, from the east right-of-way of Artesian Street to the
west right-of-way of Carrizo Street; Artesian Street, from the north right-of-way

of Lipan to the south right-of-way of Mestina Street; and Carrizo Street, from the
north right-of-way of Lipan to the south right-of-way of Mestina Street; that the
Staff work out any problems necessary relative to the changing of street names as a
result of the closings, and that an ordinance be brought forward effectuating the
closings.
City Manager Townsend pointed out that the closing of the foregoing streets
would sever three or four streets leaving isolated sections with the same name, and that
name changes sometimes become a controversial issue amont residents of abutting property.
He requested that the County consider some satisfactory solution to this problem.
Mayor Luby called for the City Manager's Reports, and City Manager Townsend
presented requests and recommendations with related comments and explanations, as
follows:
a. That bids be received on Tuesday, October 9, 1973 at 11:00 a.m., for
approximately 6 months requirements (23,100 feet) of various sizes of copper pipe
for warehouse inventory. Money is available in the 1973-74 Budget for the purchase.
Copper pipe prices fluctuate too much to make receipt of bids for a 12 -month supply
economically feasible.
b. That bids be received at 11:00 a.m., Tuesday, October 16, 1973 for employee
group insurance to begin November 1, 1973. The additional benefits to be provided
over the present policy are major medical coverage, increase of room rate from $32
to$36 per day, and increase of basic life and accidental death and dismemberment
coverage from $1,000 to $2,000 and twenty-four hour coverage. Funds are available
in the 1973-74 budget to pay the anticipated additional,premium costs.
c. That the bid of Mr. ClementeGarza of $450 for the purchase of surplus
City property at 1717 Coleman acquired at a Sheriff's First Tax Sale' be accepted.
Mr. Garza's bid was the only bid received. The lot is a substandard lot, 28' x 84.3'
or 2360 square feet. Mr. Garza's home is located on the adjoining lot and will be
used as a backyard and to park his automobile off the street. The appraised value
of the lot is $425. All taxing agencies having interest in the lot have approved
the sale.
d. Recommendation that $2,495 previously donated to the Economic Development
District so that the District could pay rent on the space being used at the Gas

Division Office at Port Avenue from January 1 thru July 31, 1973, be considered an
outright donation for operating expenses and no rent be •charged for this period. Anti-
cipated support from other units of government for the Economic Development District
did not materialize for the final months of their operation as a separate office. Their
function is now being -carried out by the COG staff. The District has been most help-
ful to the City including over $800,000 assistance for the construction of the Padre
Island water line. Payments of $385 per month contribution and return rent were
initiated during 1969-70.
e. That the contract for completion of the Archives (storage) Roam at Corpus
Christi Museum be accepted and final payment of $2,060.09 be authorized the contractor,
Felton Carpenter Construction Company. In addition, an extension of 23 working days
is recommended due to delays caused as a result of the contractor not being able to
work on Mondays. The total work done was $13,126.
f. That Minute Order 67968 of the Texas Highway Commission as it pertains to
the construction of Violet Road from Highway 9 to Interstate 37 be adopted. The
Texas Highway Department will construct Violet Road under the state's Farm to Market
System. The City will provide the necessary right-of-way, drainage, curbs, gutters,
sidewalks and driveways with the concrete items to be assessed against the abutting
property owners.
g. That the 1973-74 Budget be amended by authorizing the addition of a Police
Captain to the Patrol Activity. This additional Captain is needed to provide adequate
zone coverage during vacation and sick leave. The approximate cost of $11,500 per
year will be transferred from the General Fund Reserve.
h. That an application to the Criminal Justice Council be approved for a
grant to be entitled "Corpus Christi Police Department Crime Prevention Unit". Cost
to the City would b $41,018 in salaries for a police sergeant and two patrolmen.
These would be taken from the present work force. The Criminal Justice Council will
fund two additional patrolmen, one secretary plus all equipment and housing. The
initial period of the grant will be 15 months to begin on September 30, 1973, with
the possibility of a renewal for another 12 months.
i. That the amendment to the City's water supply contract with the Lower
Nueces River Water Supply District, which provides for City payments of $75,000
per month with a final adjustment in July, be extended for another year through

July 1,1974. The original contract only requires payment of $40,000 per month. The
increased monthly payments enable the District to better maintain their debt service
reserves. Water supply purchases for 1973-74 are estimated at $959,420. The balance
of the District's annual expenditures of approximately $1,250,000 will come from
interest earnings ($140,000), District tax -collections ($5,000), and previously accumu-
lated reserves from tax levies ($145,000). As of December 31, the County Auditor
indicated the District had an excess reserveof $719,937, although this figure varies
by several hundred thousand dollars from month to month -as debt payments are made.
j. That the contract for modifications to the Air Conditioning System at
Perkdale Branch Library be awarded to Malek, Inc. for Bid Items 1 through 4, for their
low bid of $19,417.00, but the contractor has since obtained additional subcontract
prices and has agreed to reduce his bid by $4,118.00 for the air conditioning and
appurtenant work; bid item 5 (manuel selection switch) will be performed by City
Forces at a later date. An appropriation of $17,000.00 is requested to cover the
award of contract for $15,299.00, provide the architectural fee of $1100 and allow
for $601.00 for related costs.
k. That the parlor coach budgeted for purchase in the Revenue Sharing Budget
for the first entitlement period be purchased instead e from the General Fund and
transferred to the Transit Fund. An appropriation of $59,648.90 is requested from
the first entitlement period Revenue Sharing Reserve Fund to provide this support for
the 1973-74 General Fund. In addition, it is also recommended that Parcel No. 49 of
the Oso Sewage Disposal Plant Expansion project be purchased with revenue sharing
funds instead of Sanitary Sewer Bond Funds as :atrthorized by Ordinance No. 11682,
dated September 5, 1973, using $105,061.00 previously appropriated for Lawnview and
Jackson Woods Sewer extensions which will be paid for from the Sanitary Sewer Bond
Fund money previously allocated for the Oso --Land purchase.
1. That the proposal from Tracor Corporation for sound studies at Corpus
Christi International Airport be accepted. The company will take measurements of
noise levels and will develop contour maps showing noise exposure forecasts for
existing:and future airport development. An appropriation for $12,200 is requested.
The studies are needed to determine the proper land use and development around the
Corpus Christi International Airport.

m. That the Platting Ordinance be amended in regard to subdivision, street
and drainage requirements as follows:
(1) To increase the grade requirement of valley gutters from .2%
to .5% to improve drainage across intersections.
(2) To require additional sets of plans up to a maximum of 8 so that
plan review by all reviewing departments can occur simultaneously.
(3)
(4)
To revise the pavement requirements by increasing the surface
thickness from 1" of hot mix or 2 course surface treatment to
1-1/2" of hot mix or 3 course surface treatment and the depth of
caliche base in industrial subdivisions and commercial areas from
6" to 8" and the required surface in such areas to 2" of hot mix
asphalt.
To provide that the subdivider will pay for the standard number of
tests before work begins and the testing reports will be provided
directly to the City with the City reserving the right to require
additional tests at the City's expense rather than the present
procedure where the test is contracted by and reported to the sub-
divider.
(5) To require that new lots drain toward the street with at least a
1% grade and that the subdivider take care of the drainage from
adjacent platted property where that drainage now crosses the
property being developed.
(6) To require a performance guaranty of 3% of contract cost to be
held in cash in a trust account for one year and then to provide
a source of money for making the repairs found necessary by the
City unless the developer makes the repairs upon demand. After
the repairs are made the guaranty performance including interest
would be returned to the developer.
The above recommendations are the result of a meeting with interested
parties, discussion with the Planning Commission and additional staff considerations.
The change to 6" curb is still recommended by the staff but is not supported by the
Planning Commission. The Planning Commission does not recommend either the perform-
ance guaranty or the testing provision.
These recommendations differ from the initial proposal by not modifying
the basic grade requirement which was originally proposed to go to .3%, by not
providing for caliche under curbs and only requiring 8" caliche base in industrial
and commercial areas, by increasing the hot mix surface from 1" to 1-1/2" to com-
pensate for the caliche base not being required, by deleting the provision that
additional tests must be paid for by the developer and by requiring.a cash deposit
rather than a performance bond.
Items
Motion by Acuff, seconded by Stark and passed, that the City Manager's, Reports/
"a" through "m" be accepted and the requests and recommendations be granted and
approved as presented.
