Page 3
Phoenix Supply Division of Integral Steel, Inc., Corpus Christi on 24,049' of
black and galvanized steel pipe not be accepted because the bids are subject to
fluctuation and the firm bid prices recommended will be economically more advan-
tageous to the City. No bids were received on Lot II of cast iron and ductile iron
mechanical joint fittings and it is recommended that these requirements be purchased
by competitive bid on the open market as needed.
Bids were received from 56 firms. Price comparison reveals an increase
of 10.7%.
c. That surplus City property at 814 18th Street between Hancock and
Coleman Avenue acquired through tax foreclosure be sold to Mr. Manuel S. Garcia
on the basis of the only bid received of $718. The lot is substandard (approxi-
mately 3,689 sq. ft.) and contains a small substandard building on it. Mr. Garcia
owns and resides on the adjoining lot and has agreed to demolish the substandard
building except for the rear room which he plans to bring up to City Code require-
ments and add to his present house.
d. That the lease with Mrs. Mona E. Bates for 3 houses in the Bayfront
Park, including the Sidbury and Lichtenstein houses be amended, effective March 1,
1975 so that no rent will be charged Mrs. Bates unless her gross income from the
property exceeds $300 per month. The rent then totals any amount above $300 but
not to exceed $75.
e. That plans and specifications for Brownlee -Staples Intersection
Street Improvements and the extension of Blundell and Dodd Streets to Viola, be
approved and bids be received on August 27, 1975. The Staples and Baldwin work
(1970 Bond Program) consists of constructing a right turn lane from South Staples
Street onto Brownlee Boulevard south of Staples to help offset an awkward turn at
this intersection. The Blundell and Dodd Street projects will provide better
access to Viola Street for vehicular and pedestrian traffic and have been requested
by petitions from residents on both streets.
f. That plans and specifications for the Cole Park Bicentennial Amphi-
theater be approved and that bids be received for this project on September 3, 1975.
This is a 1972 Bond Project and in addition to being a bicentennial commemoration
project it is the result of an architectural design competition among local
architects.
g. That a contract be awarded to the only bidder, Sechrist-Hall Company
for roof repairs and improvements at the Corpus Christi Museum and that $9,500 be

appropriated including $200 for related expenses. The project includes a 3 -ply
built-up roof over the existing exposed roof slab area and flood coating the
surrounding areas.
h. That Gulf Coast Testing Laboratory, Inc. be retained for $4,800.00
to provide quality control testing services for the site work and the building
construction at the Corpus Christi Health Center. Testing will include material
and density tests for the site work, asphaltic concrete control of materials and
densities, and concrete strength tests for the building. No additional appropria-
tion is required.
i. That a grant from the Criminal Justice Division of the office of the
Governor for $33,357 for the second year of the Police Legal Advisor program be
accepted. The City furnishes office space and $29,772 in-kind. Personnel include
an attorney and secretary. Authority was granted during the moratorium to apply
for the grant but authority to accept the contract could not be granted during the
moratorium.
j. That $600.00 be appropriated for appraisal serviced by Mr. Harold Carr
in connection with acquisition of 3 parcels for the extension of Chiquito Park, a
1975 Community Development project.
k. That $1,150.00 be appropriated for appraisal services by Toy Temple
in connection with the acquistion of 2 parcels for the Corpus Christi Beach Restora-
tion Project. These parcels are located on the east side of North Shoreline
between Bridgeport Avenue and Breakwater Avenue.
1. That the Land Drilling Ordinance be amended to limit acceptance of
bonds, in lieu of plugging existing wells, to cases where the operator holds a
valid lease on the minerals. One hundred and eleven unplugged wells are covered
by bonds currently on file. It is estimated on approximately thirty or forty wells
the operators posting these bonds do not retain control over minerals. When the
operator relinquishes control over the minerals, it is presumed that he no longer
intends to produce from the well and the well should be plugged and abandoned.
m. That the restaurant lease at International Airport with Dyneteria,
Inc. and Mr. Antonio Buentello be amended to increase monthly rental on food sales
from 8.26% to 10.0% of gross income and on alcoholic beverage sales from 10.0% to
11.5% effective August 1, 1975 through July 31, 1977. Dyneteria, Inc. will also
replace the carpet in the restaurant within six months. The five-year lease
extension from 1975 to 1980, authorized in 1972, provided rental re -negotiation as

of August 1, 1975. The rent will again be re -negotiated in 1977.
n. That authority be granted to submit the following related grant
applications to the Council of Governments and to execute all documents necessary
to implement the grant programs if approved:
(1) An application for $109,404 to provide transportation services
to State Department of Public Welfare Title XIX clients. The
program (August 1, 1975 thru August 31, 1976) will provide
mobile 2 -way communications, office furniture, and an adminis-
trative aid, senior clerk typist, and four bus operators.
Transportation would be provided through the Senior Community
Services program.
(2) An application for $4,456 for two part-time telephone
dispatchers and a telephone to be located at Greenwood Branch
Library to forward requests for transportation to the appropriate
agency. No City funds will be involved in either grant applica-
tion.
o. That a contract be authorized with the Bureau of Reclamation for
payments toward the local share of the cost of the Choke Canyon Reservoir. The
contract provides the first payment of $900,000, further annual payments from
July 1, 1976 through September 30, 1980, totalling $17,350,000 (subject to future
appropriations) or a combined total of $18,250,000. The contract provides that the
City reserves the right to terminate at any time prior to the expenditure of federal
funds toward the construction of the reservoir. The contract will enable the
Bureau to prepare final plans and specifications and carry out final field work.
Motion by Lozano, seconded by Gulley and passed, that the City Manager's
Reports be accepted, and Items "a" through "o" be granted, approved and adopted as
presented by City Manager Townsend.
