Grand Total $24,670
Bids were received from 5 firms. It is estimated.that a 5% savings will be .
achieved by purchasing these items in this manner as opposed to buying
them individually by telephone bid on the open market.
c. That a film inspection and cleaning machine be purchased from PAULMAR, INC.,
Northbrook, Illinois on the basis of low bid on a model with a safety shield of $6,225. The machine
will be used at La Retama Library to maintain approximately 400 I6mm films presently maintained by
hand. Circulation is such that adequate maintenance cannot be provided by hand. This equipment is
included in a State Library grant approved by the City Council on September 24, 1976. (Bid Tab #4-76)
d. That plans and specifications for the removal of obstructions in the Corpus Christi Beach
Project be approved and bids be received on March 10, 1976. The obstructions include existing piling
from abandoned fishing piers and various concrete and wooden structures. The work is necessary before
the beach restoration project can begin.
e. 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.
(2) Award the construction contract to Asphalt Maintenance
Company, Inc., and appropriate $78,000 for construction, _ — --
including $72,532.10 for the contract and $5,467.90 for
related expenses.
f. That preliminary plans for widening Airline Road from Padre Island Drive to Williams Drive
to provide twwo moving lanes plus center left turn lane and a right tum lane at Padre Island Drive be
approved, and appraisals and negotiations in accordance with Federal acquisition policies be granted.
This project is a 1972 bond project. Construction by the State Department of Highways and Public
Transportation should be underway late in 1976. One parcel of right-of-way is owned by the Corpus
Christi Independent School District and the other by Texaco at the Airline -Padre Island Drive intersection.

—Page 3
(1) Replacement of 800 existing non-standard school signs with
new signs meeting national standards.
(2) Replacement of 250 sub -standard City barricades with new uniform
reflective barricades. This is the second stage of a 3 -stage
program to improve all City barricades.
Distribution of uniform street construction and detour signs to
City forces.
(3)
The Governor's Office of Traffic Safety will provide $26,000. The City
will provide for the construction. inventory installation or distribu-
tion of these sign and barricades. No local match is required except
the in-kind services of present employees and material provided for in
the current Traffic Engineering budget.
h. That authority be granted to submit an application to the Coastal Bend Council of Govern- _
ments and sign related contracts and documents for tie continuation of the City's Senior Community
Services program, from March 1, 1976 through February 28, 1977. The project cost is $127,572 of
which the local portion is $83,329 and the Federal $44,234. 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. No City funds are involved. The County
provided $46,416 for this program last year. Personnel include 3 outreach workers, a bus operator and
a janitor.
j. 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. Council approval of the amendment was provided on November 5, 1975,
but the ordinance passed at that time authorizing the amendment did not include authorization to sign
the resulting contract.
k. 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

1. That the City purchase the one-half undivided interest in Lot 21, Block 7, Steele Addition
which is owned by Mr. James C. Martin for $416.63, Tess delinquent taxes, which is based on Mr.
Martin's purchase price of $300, plus taxes and 6% interest from the date of ownership, March 2, 1971.
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. Payment of rent will
assist the Center in meeting unusual costs during 1975, including a paving assessment for Sabinas Street
improvements.
o. That the following actions be taken regarding the Bayfront Science Parks
(I) A public hearing to close Hirsch Street from North Water to North Chaparral be set
for March 10, 1976. The street will be modified to serve as a parking area.
(2) Plans and specifications for construction of temporary parking facilities to serve the
Community Theater plus the installation of fill and building walks be approved and bids
be received on March 3, 1976.
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.

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.

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.

that the City Manager's Reports be granted, approved and adopted, as presented by City Manager
Townsend.

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

and other property, subject to Airport security regulations without charge or obligation to

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.

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.
