That the following actions be taken regarding Paloma Street Improvements: (1) The assessment hearing be closed and the revised assessment roll of $34,620.60 be adopted. It reflects a reduction to 50% for Item No. 26 (sidelot) and adjustments resulting from requests by property owners to revise driveway widths.

Services to be provided include transpor- tation, information, outreach, referral and followup, recreation, and related social supportive services. Because this proposal represents a $35,436 reduction from the previous year, three outreach workers, one bus operator and one half-time custodian position will be eliminated. i. That a contract be approved with Nueces County for continuation of the elderly program outside the City with a center located in Robstown. The contract contains a budget of $51,000 and provides continuation of transportation, outreach, referral and follow-up information, and related services from March 1, 1976 through February 28, 1977.

That an ordinance be passed authorizing a contract amendment with the Department of Housing and Urban Development for the Airport Park and Lexington areas Code Enforcement Programs. HUD has approved the transfer involved.

That an agreement be approved with the Coastal Bend Council of Governments for City participation in the area -wide Crime Prevention Program. The Corpus Christi Police Department's Crime Prevention Program has been funded for the past three years under a Law Enforcement Assistance Administration Program which terminates in April, 1976.

The City presently owns the other one-half undivided interest in the lot as a result of a gift in 1966 by Mr. Joe Salem. m. That a resolution be passed expressing the City's opposition to any Federal workmen's compen- sation legislation. Such a resolution was recommended at the TML Conference. The State already has legislation and an active regulatory program in this field. n. That the City pay the Robert L. Moore Community Center $2,500 rent for space at. the Center for well-child conferences during the next five years. The Center is the only non-public location where well-child conferences are being carried out. The Center has provided space for these conferences for many years and also for family planning clinics and immunization programs.

Donations of $20,000 are available for this project, related improvements and landscaping. p. That the firm of Christian, Bright and Pennington be engaged to develop plans for the fountain in the Bayfront Science Park. Because the details, size and budget and the extent of participation by the Spanish Government is not yet established, it is recommended that during the conceptual and schematic phase the architect be hired on the direct cost basis. When the project scope and budget are known, then the contract for the architect will be changed to a percentage fee based on the cost of construction, Tess credit for work performed on the direct cost basis. An appropriation of $2,000 is required for the conceptual and schematic design phase. s Rey.,.ar Council Meeting February II, 1976 Page 5 q. Amend, prior to third reading, the ordinance authorizing 5 -year lease agreements with Braniff, Eastern, and Texas international airlines for rental of space at the International Airport to provide that Article 1, Paragraph E, be revised to read as follows: E. Right of Access, Ingress and Egress. The full and unrestricted rights of access, ingress and egress with respect to the premises outlined in paragraphs A to D above, for Lessee, its employees, passengers, guests, patrons, invitees, suppliers of materials and furnishers of service, its or their aircraft, equipment, vehicles, machinery and other property, subject to Airport security regulations without charge or obligation to Lessee. The purpose of this revision is to limit the paragraph to apply only to charges or obligations against the Lessee. The original wording also applied to persons and property using the Airport. r. That the contract for the construction of Fire Station No. 14 be awarded to Hunt Construction Company for $189,031. The award is based on accepting Alternates No. 2, 4 and 6 and authorizing a change order deleting the following items: (1) Storage Building (2) Revising driveway to concrete for the front and asphalt for the back (3) The City providing fill material (4) Deleting testing (5) Deleting generator (6) Deleting hose dryers (7) Deleting air compressors (8) Deleting hose reel; and (9) Deleting refrigerator The above recommendation reduces the base bid from $215,999 to $189,031. An appropriation of $196,000, including additional architectural fees and related expenses is requested. Relative to Item "h", City Manager Townsend answered a question by'Commissioner Gill that the 5 positions which will be eliminated in the Senior Community Services Program are presently filled, but that he anticipates the people can be transferred with little difficulty. Concerning Item "r", City Manager Townsend clarified for Commissioner de Ases that after an intensive review process, the Staff believes that none of the items which will be deleted from the construction of Fire Station No. 14 is considered indispensable to the operation of the station. Commissioner de Ases spoke relative to Item "p", making reference to a letter from LULAC in which that organization requested that a Spanish-speaking architect be employed for designing the fountain. Commissioner de Ases suggested that City Manager Townsend write to the LULAC organization and explain that the Council had discussed that particular item in the morning Workshop Meeting prior to receipt of their letter, respond to the objections which they raised, andaiso explain that the architec- tural firm which was recommended is currently involved in construction projects in the area. es ,,ar Council Meeting February 11, 1976 Page 6 Mayor Luby asked for anyone in the audience who would like to speak regarding any item on the City Manager's Reports. Mr. Robert Koimn inquired relative to Item "p" the criteria by which an architect is selected for City projects, and also how this particular firm was chosen for the design of the fountain. City Manager Townsend responded that the architects who are presently considered for proposed projects were reviewed in 1972 and are chosen from a list which was compiled at that time; and that the final decision as to awarding of the contract has been made in different ways over the past few years. He further explained that the firm of Christian, Bright and Pennington was selected mainly due to their prior involvement in other work in the same area. Motion by Gill, seconded by Lozano and passed, with Mayor Luby voting "Nay" on Item "p", that the City Manager's Reports be granted, approved and adopted, as presented by City Manager Townsend. Motion by Lozano, seconded by Sample and passed, that the ordinance' authorizing a lease agreement between the City of Corpus Christi and Braniff Airways, Inc.; between the City of Corpus Christi and Eastern Airlines; and between the City of Corpus Christi and Texas International Airlines covering rental of space at the Corpus Christi International Airport and the use of said airport, read on the first two of three readings, on January 7, 1976, and January 14, 1976, be amended prior to the third and final reading as follows: I .

No one from the audience addressed the Council relative to the ordinances. Mayor Luby asked that the Council be polled for their vote. City Secretary Read stated that according to his tabulation all ordinances voted upon passed unanimously with the exception of ordinance 13033, which had one no vote. Mayor Luby opened the floor for petitions or information from the audience on matters not scheduled on the agenda. Mr. Grant Jones addressed the Council regarding the encroachment problems that the Naval Air Training Command is faced with due to developments close to Cabaniss Field and Waldron Field. He explained that the runways on these fields are used in the Navy's pilot training program; that they are essential to the Naval Air Training Command; and that for safety reasons there cannot be a high concentration of homes in the area. He warned that the Naval Base would close if the Naval Air Training Command program was stopped, and he stressed that the closing of NAS would be a great loss for Corpus Christi. Mr. Jones specifically wamed the Council not to approve Mr. Jon Held's request which is now before the Planning Commission, because Mr. Held's land is near the approach of a runway at Waldron Field; he further suggested that the City purchase the land from Mr. Held or rezone it "Farm -Rural", which would provide for a love r density of homes in the area. He stressed that he does not believe that the financial interests of one person should take precedent over the interests of the Naval Air Station. es ar Council Meeting February 11, 1976 Page 12 Mayor Luby asked if the Navy had specifically mentioned Jon Held's tract in the meeting held the previous night; Mr. Jones replied that they had, and that they had also expressed their strong oppositions to the proposed development to the City at a previous time. Commissioner Gulley thanked Mr. Jones for his presentation, but stated that the Council is aware of the potential problems; that they have met with the Navy and have flown over the areas involved. He suggested that Mr. Jones make his presentation to the Planning Commission and Council when Mr. Held's zoning request or other zoning cases in the area are scheduled to be heard. Mr. Joe Hansler appeared before the Council and stated that he has resigned from the Housing Authority Board, but has been advised that he is legally still a member of the Board and as such should attend their meetings until a replacement is named. He objected to that obligation, and asked the Council to appoint a replacement as soon as possible. The Regular Meeting recessed at 3:05 p.m. until the scheduled bid opening at 4:00 p.m'. The Regular Council Meeting was resumed at 4:00 p.m. Director of Engineering and Physical Development James Lontos opened and read bids for the Police Division employees' parking lot from the following firms: Asphalt Concrete Paving Company; Asphalt Maintenance Company, Inc.; Asphalt Paving Company of Corpus Christi; Heldenfels Brothers; King Construction Company; and Leopard Construction Company. The foregoing bids were tabled for 48 hours pursuant to the requirements of the City Charter, and referred to the City Staff for tabulation and recommendation.
