City Manager Townsend presented the proposal that a lot along State Highway
77 in Calal.len owned by the Catholic Church, on which a new Pax Christi Girl's Home
will be constructed adjacent to the existing City limits, be contractually annexed.
He explained that a previous public hearing had been scheduled and held on November
21, 1973 at which time there was a full presentation by a Pax representative and an
attorney, there was no opposition, and the Council's action was that it be approved
as requested. He explained that the hearing had been reset because of problems
of trying to correlate the City's position with State Law regarding publication
procedures of the hearing and timetable of passage of the ordinance. He stated that
Pax is a church type institution and not involved with taxation, and the staff
strongly recommends that the area be annexed.
No one appeared in opposition to the foregoing request for contractual
annexation.
Motion by Acuff, seconded by Branch and passed, that the hearing be closed.
Motion by Acuff, seconded by Stark and passed, that the lot along State
Highway 77 in Calallen owned by the Catholic Church, on which a new Pax Christi

In response to Commissioner Branch's request of December 26, 1973 for a
report of the ethnic breakdown. of the poor in the Community in the top leadership
of the Staff of the Community Action Agency, City Manager Townsend presented a
report taken from the 1970 Census showing a breakdown in the total population of
Angios, Blacks and persons with Spanish surnames, and the poverty levels in the
ocmmunity. Commissioner Branch stated he was not interested in a breakdown of the
•es ar Council Meeting

•
whole community but only the ethnic breakdown within the Staff of the Community Action
Agency. He stated his figures were higher than those mentioned by City Manager
Townsend.
Mr. James Hendershot, secretary of the local GI Forum Unit who appeared
before the City Council December 26, 1973 to complain that the Red Carpet Committee
had discriminated in not providing the Red Carpet Committee to welcome the Forum's
National Chairman when he visited the City in mid December of 1973, appeared and
re -stated his complaint. He reported that he had obtained copies of the By Laws and
rules and regulations of the Buccaneer Commission and researched the ethnic and
racial composition and found that the Board of Directors is composed of 19 Anglos,
two Mexican -Americans and no Blacks, which he did not feel represented an ethnic
balance. He requested that the City Council ask or encourage the Commission to
consider adding new members to the Board and the Red Carpet Committee to obtain a
more balanced representation of minority groups. He pointed out that the rules
specify that requests for Red Carpet Committee originate with the City Secretary and
must be approved by either the Mayor or Mayor Pro Tem. He inquired if these rules
were being complied with, and if it would be possible to authorize the City Secre-
tary to make contacts with the Red Carpet Committee on short notice.
Mayor Luby stated he was not familiar with all the functions of the organi-
zation and the policies governing the Red Carpet Committee, but that he had authorized
the City Secretary to approve the requests for him in his absence. It was explained
to Mr, Hendershot that the Buccaneer Commission is a non-profit organization over
which the City has no control and only originates with the City for screening
purposes. The Council directed the City Manager to contact the Buccaneer Commission
by letter urging that a broader representation of ethnic and racial groups be included
in their activities.
Reverend Bill Spivey, pastor of The Church of Our. Lord Jesus Christ, concurred
with statments of Mr, Hendershot stating it was the responsibility of the City Council
to see that Blacks are included on the Buccaneer Commission.
Mr, Paul A. Vogler, Jr., stated it was a misconception that the City does
not have the authority to control activities of the Buccaneer Commission, pointing
out that the buildings and grounds are leased from the City. He complained that the
Commission is a social organization and the Buccaneer Days Celebration excludes the

poor from participation in anything other than as spectators.
Mayor Luby announced the scheduled public hearings on two zoning cases and
one proposed Text Amendment to the Zoning Ordinance,
City Manager Townsend presented Application #1173-6, Grady St. Clair &
Truman Hatch, for change of zoning from "B-1" Neighborhood Business District to
"B-4" General Business District, on Lot 13R, Block 3, Woodlawn Estates, located on
the north side of the 1400 block of South Padre Island Drive, east of Clare Drive.
The request was heard by the Planning Commission November 27, 1973 and forwarded to
the Council with the recommendation that it be approved as a logical extension of
"B-4" along Padre Island Drive, and the Staff concurred in this recommendation.
No one appeared in opposition to the recommendation of the Planning
Commission.
Motion by Acuff, seconded by Ricardo Gonzalez and passed, that the hearing
be closed.
Motion by Stark, seconded by Acuff and passed, that the recommendation of
the Planning Commission be concurred in and Application #1173-6, Grady St. Clair &
Truman Hatch, for change of zoning from "B-1" Neighborhood Business District to
"B-4" General Business District, on Lot 13R, Block 3, Woodlawn Estates, be approved
as requested, and an ordinance be brought forward effectuating the change.
City Manager Townsend presented Application d1173-8, Mrs. R. R. Hughes, for
change of zoning from "R -1B" One -family Dwelling District to "AB" Professional Office
District on Lot 13, Block 19, Schanen Estates 2, located on the southwest corner of
Limerick Drive and Schanen Boulevard (5801 Limerick Drive). The request was heard
by the Planning Commission on November 27, 1973 and forwarded to the Council with the
recommendation that it be denied on the basis that even with a special permit it
would be a clear case of spot zoning. The Planning Staff concurred in this recommen-
dation. Mr. Townsend reported that since the Commission hearing eleven letters had
been received indicating opposition to the requested change of zoning, and that the
20 percent rule is in effect.
No one appeared to speak in favor or in opposition to the recommendation tf
the Planning Commission.
Motion by Acuff, seconded by Ricardo Gonzalez and passed, that the hearing be
closed.
