Proclamations were issued in the Mayor's Offices prior to the meeting designating September 22, 1973 as HUNTING AND FISHING DAY, and September 17 through 23, 1973 as CONSTITUTION WEEK. Mayor Pro Tem Acuff called for the opening of bids. Chief Engineer Gerald Smith reported that there had been no bids sub- mitted for the Sanitary Sewer Lift Station for Flood Control Protection to City Hall. He explained that he had received a telephone call from one prospective bidder who had stated he was reluctant to submit a bid on the basis it was expected to be the only one submitted and he did not want to expose his bid. Mr. Smith opened and read bids for the Sealing of Commercial Ramp Areas at Corpus Christi International Airport from the following firms; Alamo Asphalt Construction and Sealing Company of San Antonio, Texas; and Townsco Contracting Company of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. One bid was opened and read on International. Airport Center Line Striping from Townsco Contracting Company. The foregoing bids were tabled for 48 hours as required by the City Charter and referred to the City Manager for tabulation and recommendation. Mayor Luby reported at the meeting and assumed the Chair. Mayor Luby called for nominations for appointments to Boards & Committees, and City Secretary Kring read the following names previously agreed upon by the Council for appointments to the Electrical Advisory Board: Joe Guerra (Master • Minutes Regular Council Meeting September 19, 1973 Page 2 • • 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 Mies Regular Council Meeting September 19, 1973 Page 3 • • 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 • Minutes Regular Council Meeting September•19, 1973 Page 4 • • • 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 • • • Minutes Regular Council Meeting September 19, 1973 Page 5 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. • Minutes Regular Council Meeting September 19, 1973 Page 6 • • 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. 0 • Minutes Regular Council Meeting September 19, 1973 Page 7 • • • FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 4168, GENERALLY REFERRED TO AS THE PLATTING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI, AS AMENDED, SO AS TO AMEND SECTION IV - DESIGN STANDARDS, SUBSECTION A, ITEM 14, SO AS TO HEREAFTER PROVIDE FOR MINIMUM STREET GRADE OF TWO-TENTHS OF ONE PERCENT (0.27); AMENDING SECTION V - REQUIRED IMPROVEMENTS, SUBSECTION A, ITEM 2, BY MAKING PROVISION FOR FILING WITH THE DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING AND PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE CITY BY THE CONTRACTOR, BEFORE COMMENCING STREET IMPROVEMENTS OR CONSTRUCTION, A FULL SET OF PLANS SHOWING ROADWAYS, CROSS-SECTIONS, UTILITY PLACEMENT, SLOPE FOR DRAINAGE AND ANY OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION; AMENDING SECTION V - REQUIRED IMPROVEMENTS, SUBSECTION B, ITEM 1, SO AS TO HEREAFTER PROVIDE FOR GREATER MINIMUM COMPACTED THICKNESS OF STREET BASE MATERIALS AND PROVIDING FOR ASPHALT PAVEMENT DEPTH TO BE ONE AND ONE HALF INCHES (1A") THICK FOR RESIDENTIAL STREETS AND TO BE TWO INCHES (2") THICK FOR MAJOR THOROUGHFARES; ADDING TO SECTION V - REQUIRED IMPROVEMENTS, SUBSECTION B, A NEW ITEM, 1(e), ADDING PROVISIONS FOR LABORATORY TESTING ADMINISTERED BY CITY WITH COSTS THEREOF TO BE BORNE BY DEVELOPER, AND ADDING A NEW ITEM, 1(f), PROV'IDING FOR GRADING OF BUILDING LOTS TO RISE ONE FOOT FROM THE STREET TO THE BUILDING OR HOME TO INSURE BETTER DRAINAGE; ADDING A NEW ITEM, 9(8), CONCERNING MAINTENANCE WARRANTY; PROVIDING FOR SEVERANCE; AND PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION.
