Mayor Luby called the meeting to order in the Council Chambers of City Hall.
The Invocation was given by Council Member Sample.
City Secretary Read called the roll and stated there was a quorum of the Council
and the necessary Charter Officers present to have a legally constituted meeting.
Motion by Sample, seconded by Tipton and passed unanimously, that the Minutes
of the Regular Council Meeting of August 4, 1976 be approved as submitted to the Council.
Mayor Luby called for the City Manager's Report, and City Manager Townsend
presented the following items, with related comments and explanations:
a. Recommendation that a public hearing be held at 2:00 p.m. during the
Regular Council Meeting on September 1, 1976 on a request to close an
alley between Lots 7, 8, 9 and 10, and between Lots 7, 11, and 14, all
in Block 1, Jones Addition, located between Mestena and Lipan Streets
and Josephine and Sam Rankin Streets. The remainder of the alley between
Lots 11, 12, 13 and 14 was closed by Ordinance No. 7676 passed on August
11, 1965 with the width of the alley being retained as a utility easement.
A similar easement will need to be retained again because of water, gas
and sewer lines in the alley.
b. Recommendation that a public hearing be held at 2 p.m, during the Regular Council
Meeting September 1, 1976 on an amendment to the 1990 Transportation Plan to
delete the designation of "collector street" on Cheyenne Street from Agnes to
Tarlton and Carver Street from Lawton to Baldwin. Carver Street is already
improved as a residential street and the plans for the Washington -Carver, Unit
II, street improvements call for Cheyenne to be improved also as a residential
street.
c. Recommendation that a public hearing be held at 2:00 p.m. during the Regular
Council Meeting on September 15, 1976 on a request to close the dead-end sections
of Bennett and Pearl Streets between North Shoreline Boulevard and the water's
edge, located generally east of Surfside Boulevard between Breakwater and Canal
Avenue on Corpus Christi Beach.
d. Recommendation that the request of Mr. Mike Catero for Mr. Nolan R. Read
to close the unopened portion of Bryan Street from Timon Boulevard to State
Highway 181 and the alley between Woodrow Street and Hull Street with the
' related $25 fee be returned to Mr. Catero since the request is in conflict
with the Corpus Christi Beach Master Plan which includes this area in the
Beach Park. Section 4, Article V sets forth the procedure which must be
followed to amend the Master Plan. The Charter provides in Section 5,
Article V as follows: "...vacating or change in the use of any street or
other public way or ground or public building, public property or public
utility, shall be subject to similar submission and approval..."

Bids were received from 14 firms. Price comparison reflects a decrease of
8.3%. (Bid Tab #60-76)
Recommendation that bid award for annual requirements of water and sewage
treating chemicals be made to the following firms on the basis of low bid:
AUSTIN WHITE LIME CO., Austin
TEXAS LIME CO., Cleburne --- to be awarded by casting of lots
UNITED STATES GYPSUM CO., Dallas ---
2,465 tons calcium oxide (Quicklime) pebble $98,624.65
240 tons calcium hydroxide (Hydrate Lime) powdered 13,044.00
MCKESSON CHEMICAL CO., Corpus Christi
464 tons ferrous sulfate (Copperas) 32,132.00
80 tons sodium fluosilicate 20,240.00
137,400 lbs. ferris chloride 32,907.30
SEC CORPORATION, Corpus Christi
616 tons liquified chlorine in 1 ton cylinders 135,520.00
AMERICAN CYANAMID CO., Wayne, N. J. •
39,060 lbs. cationic polymers 13,729.59
$346,197.54
The three identical bids on calcium ovide and calcium hydroxide are being
referred to the Justice Department for investigation. It is recommended
that the only bid received of $59,375.00 by Dow Chemical Company, Houston,
on 475 tons of liquified chlorine be rejected, specifications be revised
to require delivery in 30 -ton tank cars instead of 55 -ton tank cars and
bids be received again on Tuesday, September 7, 1976 at 11:00 a.m. The Dow
Chemical Company bid was for delivery in 55 -ton tank cars with a demurrage
charge of $30 per day for each day in excess of 30 days that the car was kept.
Based on the number of days it would take to empty a 55 -ton tank car, this
bid is uneconomical. PPG Industries of Corpus Christi, the current supplier,
uses 30 -ton tank cars and did not bid because of the illness of their sales
representative. If the chlorine is rebid, they have indicated that they will
bid. Since no bids were received for 51 tons of anhydrous ammonia, it is
recommended that this item continue to be purchased from the current supplier,
Sure -Grow Solutions, Inc., Taft, Texas. The company has advised that it will
continue to supply the ammonia at $250 per ton subject to fluctuations in
market price which is a reduction of $100 pe'r ton over the previous price.
Bids were received from 14 firms. Price comparison shows an increase of 4.8%.
(Bid Tab #61-76)
Recommendation that bid award for 670 tons of hydrated stabilization lime be
made to one of the following firms by casting of lots because of identical
bids received:
UNITED STATES GYPSUM COMPANY, Dallas
AUSTIN WHITE LIME COMPANY, Austin
TEXAS LIME COMPANY, Cleburne
$37,758

Another identical bid of $37,758 was received from McDonough Bros. of San
Antonio, but it is not recommended because it is subject to fluctuation on
material and freight. Bids were 'received from 5 firms. The identical bids
have heron referred to the Depattmeui id Aunt lee for Invvrt1 r1 i Ion.
(BJ(I 'I iI 00.-•76)
Pertaining to items "f" and "g", there was some discussion concerning the three
identical bids received from the above companies on three products. Mayor Luby
objected to going out for bids again as described in item "f", saying he does not
think it is fair to rebid under any circumstances. Council Member de Ases questioned
the identical bids received, and whether the Council should award the bid for those
items to any of the three companies. City Manager Townsend explained that the materials
would be needed within two to three weeks; that these were the only firms which bid;
that there might be out-of-state suppliers who would be willing to bid, but that their
prices would probably be higher due to increased freight costs. At de Ases' urging,
the Staff agreed to investigate through the Justice Department the frequency of identical
bids from those three companies.
To award the tie bids on items "f" and "g", lots were cast as follows:
for 2,465 tons calcium oxide (Quicklime) pebble, in the amount of $98,624.65
(item "f") ----UNITED STATES GYPSUM CO., Dallas; for 240 tons calcium hydroxide
(Hydrate Lime) powdered, in the amount of $13,044.00 (item "f") ----AUSTIN WHITE
LIME CO., Austin; and for 870 tons of hydrated stabilization lime, in the amount
of $37,758 (item "g") ----UNITED STATES GYPSUM CO., Dallas.
h. Recommendation that bid award on nine annual supply contracts be made to the
following firms:
ALAMO IRON WORKS, Corpus Christi
wire, hose fittings, funnels, nails, fence

5,883.26
4,351.61
$29,021.68
Since no bids were received on miscellaneous service station accessories,
it is recommended these items be purchased by informal bid as needed. They
apparent low bids of $1,110.60 by Moreman Flasher Rental of Corpus Christi
on safety hats, caps and vests; $372.96 by Corpus Fire and Safety on neoprene
coated gloves; and $4,438.93 by Alamo Iron Works of Corpus Christi, and
$3,704.00 by Moreman Flasher Rental on raincoats and stormsuits are not
recommended because they do not meet specifications.
Bids were received from 16 firms. Price comparison shows a decrease of 5%.

blank spaces for future route changes. An appropriation of $1,424.70 is
necessary.
j.
Recommendation that the contract for the construction of a 28 -space parking
lot adjoining the Lindale Senior Citizens Center be awarded to Asphalt

Patricia County line and is to be drilled to a depth of 15,000' on a regular
location as a straight hole.. All requirements of the Bay Drilling Ordinance
have been complied with.
** n. Recommendation that Ordinance No. 4167 which establishes a procedure for
requesting the abandonment, closing or altering of public streets, alleys
and rights-of-way be amended to increase thepayment which must be made with
the City Secretary to cover the expense of mailing notices and publishing the
request from $25 to $50. The proposed fee will more adequately cover the cost
notification and publication requirements.
There was sons' discussion concerning item "n" whether the $50 fee would be
adequate. City Secretary Read stated that in most cases $50 would cover publication
costs but not mailing expenses and Staff time. City Manager Townsend added that a
street closing is usually profitable financially for thy abutting property owners.

** Item "n" was withdrawn for one week so the Staff could provide a cost
report of the last several street closings.
o. Recommendation that authority be granted to submit an application to continue
the program of photologging city streets to the Governor's Office of Traffic
Safety. This is the last year of a 21 year program that began in March,
1975. The application is for the period October 1, 1976 through September 30,
1977 and totals $32,285 of which the Federal and State portion is $4,000.00
and the City's portion is $11,169 in actual cash outlay, plus $17,116 in kind.
The photograhic data provided by this program is used to identify traffic
hazards and inventory all traffic control devices. This film is available
to other divisions of the City, such as the Building and Street Divisions.
Photographing of all major and collector streets has been completed with only
the residential streets left to be done.
In response to an inquiry from Council Member Gulley, Director of Traffic
and Transit Tom Stewart reported on how much the photologging equipment has been
used to date. City Manager Townsend advised the Council that the Staff will make
an extensive study of the program at the end of this year and recommend whether they
feel it should be continued.
p•
Recommendation that the time during which the 1200 through 1700 blocks of
North Shoreline is to be closed for Bayfest '76 be increased from 10 a.m.,
September 29 through 12 noon, October 4, 1976 to 7 a.m., Saturday, September
25 through 4 p.m., Tuesday, October 5, 1976. The sponsors of Bayfest '76
have requested the additional time to set up and remove temporary improvements
to be placed in the six blocks of North Shoreline. Motels and businesses along
this section of Norah Shoreline have hewn contacted and there are no objections
to the extension.
Mayor Luby opened the floor for discussion from the audience regarding the
City Manager's Report. Relative to item "j", Mr. Leo Luna of KCCT Radio
stated he thinks it's a shame that the City is spending an additional $10,000 on
the Lindale Center when the Zavala Center does not have usable toilets.
City Manager Townsend responded that the Staff found the restrooms at Zavala
to be in working order when the situation was checked earlier in the week. He
explained that the Zavala Neighborhood Council is delaying improvements to the
building because of the possibility of transferring their programs to the Zavala
School building. He also explained that maintenance for the Center is clearly
the responsibility of the Community Action Agency --not the City.
Motion by Tipton, seconded by Gulley and passed, that the City Manager's
Report as amended be accepted. Mayor Luby and Council Member de Asea voted No
on that portion of items "f" and "g" awarding the' tie bids.
