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..." klb Civ Minutes Regular Council Meeting August 18, 1976 Page 2 e.

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 1jit�c `-Regu ,ouncil Meeting August 18, 1976 Page 3 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.

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.

Recommendation that a change order for $L,424.70 be approved to the contract with GMC Truck and Coach for the purchase of 15 45 -passenger buses under the 1975 capital grant from the Urban Mass Transportation Administration.

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 Maintenance Company, Inc., for $10,685.39 and $12,000 be reappropriated from revenue sharing to cover the contract cost plus engineering, laboratory testing and related expenses. The project provides 60 degree angle parking for easier access by the elderly. k. Recommendation that the contract for the construction of a Satellite Clinic in Flour Bluff be awarded to Hunt Building Company for $143,819 and $160,000 be reappropriated from revenue sharing to cover the award of the contract plus additional architectural fees in connection with the design of the pay station and branch library, engineering, laboratory testing and related expenses. The contract includes the construction of a Satellite Clinic, a utilities pay station and a branch library, plus the alternates for landscaping, and a security system 1. Recommendation that the following actions be taken in connection with the Molina "A" Street Improvement Project: 1. The project be accepted and final payment of $45,142.49 for a total of $449,018.25 be made to the contractor, Glaser Construction Company. 2.

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. Minutes Regular Council Meeting August 18, 1976 Page 5 ** 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.
