Del Mar Junior College, owners of the property fronting Lewis Street in this area, have requested the prohibition to relieve congestion created by student parking. The Traffic Safety Advisory Board so recommends. h. Recommendation that Greely Drive be made one-way from Belmeade Drive to Parade Drive from 8:00-9:00 a.m. and 2:00-4:00 p.m. during school days because changes in attendance zones and an increase in bus transportation from the area west of Alameda Street. The change will provide for the safer discharge of students from busses and cars and will improve the flow of traffic. This request was initiated by the principal of Cullen Junior High School and is being recommended by the Traffic Safety Advisory Board. The existing regu-' lation is one way in the opposite direction. i. Recommendation that a speed limit of 55 mph be established on Padre Island Drive (State Highway 358) from 1,100 feet north of Leopard Street (Interstate 37) to a point 4,100 feet south of Agnes (State Highway 44) and 45 mph on the ramp connecting Interstate 37 with Padre Island Drive. The Traffic Safety Advisory Board so recommends. j. Recommendation that an agreement be authorized with Del Star Realty Company, Inc., developers of Schanen Estates West, Unit 10, to reimburse the developer for one half the cost to construct street and sidewalk improvements on Wickersham Drive and Parkview Drive which bound the dedicated park in the subdivision and $13,477.65 be appropriated for the City's estimated cost. The Platting Ordinance provides that the City shall bear its share of street construction cost on streets which adjoin dedicated parks. k. Recommendation that the Fire Equipment Building and West Apron Access Gate Improvement project at Corpus Christi International Airport be accepted and payment of $6,370.00 for a total of $63,704.59 be made to J. H. Chapman Construction Company. It is also recommended that Change Order No. 4 be approved for $10,205.00 providing for 3 15' x 15' overhead doors and a 1,000 gallon underground diesel storage tank. The building is recommended for acceptance so retained funds can be released. Final acceptance of the work to be done under change order #4 will be made by the Director of Engineering & Physical Development. The contractor exceeded the allotted time by 40 working days, but due to delivery problems on the pre-engineered building, it is recommended that he be granted such an extension. The doors have been found to be desirable to eliminate wind and rain problems.. The only available storage for diesel oil for the fire vehicles is an overhead storage tank. Minutes Regular Council Meeting August 11, 19.76 Page 5 1. Recommendation that an outside City limits water contract to serve a residential lot of 1.37 acres be approved for Lot 2, Block 3, Buena Vista Addition, situated more than 300 feet outside the City limits fronting on Guth Road near the intersection of Guth Road and I.H. 37. A 6" main was extended in 1975 to replace several existing parallel private service lines in the street serving occupied lots and making service available to this lot and other vacant lots in the area. Mr. Ayala will pay a $3.00 per front foot extension charge. The lot is presently being used for pasture. m. Recommendation that the Trinity Engineering Testing Corporation be engaged to provide materials testing and quality control of the San Diego Addition, Old Brownsville Road, Nogales Street, Rambler Street and Roslyn Drive Street Improvements project.

The additional five positions would be funded for 5-1/2 months through January 31, 1977 for school safety personnel at designated street loca- tions and schools. Money will be available as a result of personnel turn over. This action and the related Title II recommendation will continue the crossing protection program initiated from CETA money last year. o. Recommendation that a Title II contract and all related documents be ' authorized with the Corpus Christi Independent School District for $28,900 for ten safety aide positions through January 31, 1977 to provide school safety personnel at designated street locations and schools through- out the City. Money will be available from existing Title II allocations as a result of personnel turn over. p. Recommendation that an application be submitted to the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation for a grant renewal to continue to develop computer programs for traffic accident information through September 30, 1977. The total cost is $38,432 of which $21,002 will be provided by the Office of Traffic Safety to pay the salary, fringe benefits, and travel expenses of a programmer. The City's in-kind portion of $17,430 is for computer time. The programmer will also travel to other Texas Cities to help them establish similar systems. The program wi11 provide nccnna to such traffic accident information an mid -block and inter- section nccIdentm atoms -referenced by street and weather conditions, severity of injury and method of traffic control; traffic signal sychroniza- tion; pedestrian accidents cross-referenced by location and severity; traffic .violations contributing to accidents, and other information for use in improving traffic safety and control. q• Recommendation that a lease from the City to Mrs. Georgeana Castle'be granted for a portion of the Airport restaurant area for the sale of alcoholic beverages. Mrs. Castle is now managing the restaurant for Dynateria, Inc. The lease is for the same floor space being leased to Dynateria, Inc., except Mrs. Castle will only have the right to sell alcoholic beverages. This arrangement was necessary to comply with the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission regulations. _Mrs -....Castle. will pay 10% of the gross income on alcoholic beverage sales directly to the City. Minutes Regular Council Meeting August 11, 1976 Page 6 r. Recommendation that the restaurant lease at the International Airport with Dynateria, Inc. be amended to decrease monthly rental on food sales from 10.0% to 8.26% of gross income effective August 1, 1976 through July 31, 1977 due to decreased sales primarily as a result of re -scheduling of flights during the past•year by the commercial air carriers. The 5 -year extension from 1975-1980 authorized in 1972 provided rental renegotiation as of August 1, 1977. Dynateria has notified the City of its intent to cease the restaurant operation if rates are not lowered. The proposed rates are those rates that were in effect from 1970 as to the restaurant and since 1974 as to alcoholic beverages except after the renegotiation in August of 1975. The rent will again be renegotiated in August, 1977. This amendment will restrict Dynateria, Inc. to food sales only and the 8.26% of gross income will be paid directly to the City. s. Recommendation that the collective bargaining contract between the City of Corpus Christi and the International Association of Firefighters Local Union 936 be amended by deleting Article VI, Section 1, pertaining to retirement. The Council further discussed items "q" and "r". Assistant City Manager Walker elaborated on the Staff's position concerning the recommendations. He reviewed that there have been no alcoholic beverages sold at the airport for the past three months; and that since Mrs. Castle's application for a liquor license would cost $2,000, a minimum one year's lease is needed to enable her to regain that investment. Airport Manager Bill Wilder also explained the present situation with Dyneteria's lease for the restaurant, including the recent decrease in revenue. Council Member Gulley stated he favored going out for bids on the item because the City might be able to obtain a better offer, especially with the possibility of Southwest Airlines also serving the airport. Mayor Pro Tem Tipton stated he had been contacted by another party who was interested in starting "a good restaurant" at the airport. He asked that the item be tabled for one week to allow that party to make a proposal, adding that he did not believe one week's delay would cause any problem. Assistant City Manager Walker stressed that the Staff strongly supports their recommendations as to awarding of the leases, emphasizing that after one year's time the lease with Dyneteria could be renegotiated. Mayor Luby declared it was the consensus of the Council that items "q" and "r" remain on the City Manager's Report as listed. There being no further discussion from the Council, Mayor Luby opened the floor for comments from the audience pertaining to the City Manager's Report. Mr. Rob Kaufman of Kaufman Uniform Company of San Antonio objected to the bid award under item "b", stating his firm was the low bidder by several thousand dollars and he does not understand the contrary recommendation for the bid award. He referred Minutes Regular Council Meeting August 11, 1976 Page 7 to his letter to the Council regarding his bid; he explained that although his company is located in San Antonio he has an agreement with a tailoring shop in Corpus Christi; that the shop would have an adequate stock on hand, would do alterations as needed and would be available to City employees at least seven hours a day. Assistant City Manager Walker responded that the City has encountered problems in the past when the uniform supplier is not local. It was determined that the Council did not receive copies of Mr. Kaufman's letter of June 16 which advised of his company's arrangements with Ramirez Custom Tailor Shop, 1616 Ayers, Corpus Christi, to perform the necessary services required in the bid specifications, although the letter was a part of the files on the matter. Mr. Kaufman replied that he did not think it is fair that he be judged by other companies' errors. He argued that he has posted a performance bond although not required; that he distributes uniforms over the entire state and certainly does not want any adverse publicity concerning his business; and that the savings of a few thousand dollars with his low bid should be important to the City in these cost- conscious budget times. Mr. T. M. Jarvis, Director of Purchasing, was called in by Mr. Walker to further explain the bid award. Mr. Jarvis stated that on two different occasions the City has had out-of-town contracts for uniforms, both of which have had to be canceled; he cited problems with delays in shipment, errors in invoicing and crediting returns, non-availability of uniforms for employees as needed, poor service from the local tailor involved, added expenses such as long-distance telephone calls, etc. He argued that the Police Department should be able to pick up new uniforms locally in case of emergencies. He stated that the specifications for this contract were written particularly so as to eliminate out-of-town bidders, in view of those past problems. Mr. Kaufman again stressed that he should not be judged by other companies' poor performances. He.stated that immediate replacement of uniforms is seldom needed because most officers have several on hand; but repeated that he would have an adequate stock in the tailor's shop. There was further discussion among the Council and Staff. Council Member Gill said she could not see any difference in the requirements of the City's specifications and what Mr. Kaufman has agreed to provide. Minutes Regular Council Meeting August 11, 1976 Page 8 Mr. Walker again stressed that the Staff does not feel the bid of Kaufman, $ Inc. meets specifications. He read a letter to the Council from Acting Chief of Police W. C. Banner listing the disadvantages of an out-of-town supplier for uniforms, and emphasizing that a local supplier with an ample inventory on hand can provide immediate service, certain delivery and convenience. Mr. Kaufman thanked the Council for their time and consideration; he also mentioned that the uniforms supplied by a competitive company currently under contract do not meet specifications, and he would be happy to inform either Mr. Walker or Mr. Jarvis of the discrepancy if they so desired. Mr. Jarvis spoke up that sample uniforms from the bidding companies are carefully checked by, the Staff; Assistant City Manager assured Mr. Kaufman that all companies must meet the City's specifications. Mr. Kaufman responded that he has examined uniforms by that company and they are not as required in the specs. At Mr. Walker's request, he told that a fastening - type feature is not sewn on the inside of the garments as specified, adding that that item increases the cost of the uniforms. Assistant City Manager Walker thanked Mr, Kaufman for the information and said the Staff would check into it immediately. Motion by Sample, seconded by Lozano and passed --with de Ases abstaining on item "b" and Gill voting No on item "b", Gulley and Tipton voting no on items "q" and "r" --that the City Manager's Report be accepted, and items "a" through "s" be adopted, as presented by Assistant City Manager Walker. Mr. Walker next announced a proposed amendment to the ordinance on this agenda which establishes a $7.50 gas customer service charge for lighting, adjusting or turning off of natural gas appliances and butane conversions. He explained that the amendment would eliminate that charge for persons 65 or older, involving about 1300 residences and amounting to approximately 10%> of the service calls for same. Motion by Tipton, seconded by de Ases and passed unanimously, that the ordinance amending the Code of Ordinances of the City of Corpus Christi, 1976 Revision, by adding a new section to be numbered Section 55-63 of Article VI of Chapter 55, read for the first time on July 28, 1976, and for the second time August 4, 1976, be amended prior to its third reading by adding to Section 1 thereof the provision that in the event the P._ rtes Regular Council Meeting August 11, 1976 ' Page 9 head of the household at a residential, apartment, or mobile home address who requests appliance service is 65 years of age or over, then no charge shall be made for such service. Assistant City Manager Walker next announced the pending item of the request for change of zoning by PJC Partnership from "R -1B" to "B-4" on Tract A and from "R -1B" to "AB" on Tract B both located on the southeast corner of South Staples Street and Williams Drive. He reviewed that the request was heard on March 24, 1976 and denied, but in lieu thereof a special permit was granted for a skateboard park on Tract A and "R-2" was granted on Tract B. He stated that a letter has been received from the applicant stating that he wishes to withdraw the zoning application, and explained that a Motion to accept the applicant's letter requesting withdrawal will terminate the application. Motion by Tipton, seconded by Gulley and passed unanimously, to accept the letter requesting withdrawal of the application. The Meeting was recessed at 3:40 p.m. for the purpose of conducting a Special Council Meeting to hear five zoning cases. The Regular Council Meeting was resumed at 5:08 p.m. with Deputy City Manager rd.; Briones presenting the ordinances. No one from the audience addressed the Council • .relative to the ordinances.
