burning fuel and less polluting. Summer Petroleum Company submitted the
low bid of $100,750 ($.3575/gal) on #2 diesel fuel for transit use which'
is $11,310 legs than #1 diesel fuel. Bide ware received from 3 firma,
Price comparison on the #2 diesel fuel shows a decrease of 3.752 from
August, 1975 and 6.78% from July, 1976. No price comparison can be made
on #1 diesel fuel because it was not available last year.

to July 31, 1981. Price comparison reveals a 25X increase since July, 1971.
This is the same price as has been in effect under the current contract
since February, 1976 and will remain in effect until February, 1977 after
which the price will fluctuate based on market trends and labor contracts.
(Bid Tab. #68-76)

to PPC INDUSTRIES, Corpus Christi on the baaie of only bid received of

oasisglit.pW7t,ing paid a year ago but no increase over the current price.
e. Recommendation that plans and apecificatione for the Police Building roof

ated as follows: Park Bond Fund #291 - $31,000; Community Development
1975 -- $25,000; and Community Development 1976 - $10,000. The appeal to
enable community development participation in this project is being forwarded
to the Washington HUD office. It is necessary that the HUD funds remain
obligated until a final ruling is made.
t. Recommendation that the 1976-77 MH -MR budget and the selection of the firm
of Miller, Prather and Canine, CPA's, for the 1976-77 audit be approved.
It is further recommended that the construction of counselor -administrative
offices adjacent to the Center's residential program facilities at 615
Oliver Court be approved upon the condition that prevailing wage rates be
paid on the project and that the project be inspected by a registered
engineer.
u. Recommendation that the City of Corpus Christi take the following actions
regarding the telephone rate increase before the Texas Public Utility
Commission:
(1) Join with other Texas cities and the Texas Municipal League in the
hiring of a consultant with a maximum charge of 3p per capita or
$6,135.75 as the City's share.
(2) The City intervene so the City Attorney can testify against a
greater percentage increase in Corpus Christi than most other
cities.
v. Recommendation that the request of Mr. Bill Sweetland for an additional 45
days to develop a final proposal for use of the pedestrian tunnel behind
LaRetama Library be approved. On July 28, 1976, a lease was authorized
with Mr. Sweetland for use of the tunnel. The terms of the lease require
Mr. Sweetland to submit a proposal for use of the tunnel within 30 days.
The lease further provides that ifthe plan and proposal submitted are
not approved by the City Council within 60 days after final passage of an
ordinance authorizing the lease (July 28, 1976), the lease would be null
and void. Mr. Sweetland has submitted a lease outlining a tentative proposal.
The proposal would involve a transportation terminal and rest area in front
of the entrance to the tunnel behind the library, an ice cream parlor at
the intersection of the two tunnel passageways under the bluff and an
aquarium in the passageway which runs under Leopard Street.
Pertaining to item "r", Council Member Sample asked for a list of the services
which will be provided at the new Health Center. The Staff agreed to provide the'
report for the Council next week.
Mr. Jim Counce, a partner in the development of the Valley' View Subdivision
(recommendation "1"), emphasized to the Council that there are no other developments
of that type in the area; that they plan to construct curbs and gutters but feel
that sidewalks would be of no value to the purchasers, developers or the City of
Corpus Christi. He added that there will be no danger to school children because
the school buses will come to the front door of the houses.
Assistant City Manager Walker reminded the Council that if the variance
is granted it would set a precedent for other developers; also that if the area
is incorporated into the city at a later date, the City would have to pay part of
the cost of adding sidewalks at that time.

Motion by Sample, seconded by Lozano and passed --with Gulley voting No on
item "t" --that the City Manager's Report (items "a" through "v", item "q" withdrawn)
be approved. (See Mayor Luby's vote on same during the latter part of the meeting.)
Mayor Pro Tem Tipton called for petitions or information from the audience;
no one addressed the Council.
Council Member Gulley asked Assistant City Manager Walker for the following
reports which he had requested from the Staff some time ago: justification for
those employees assigned City vehicles which they drive to and from work; airport
parking lot expansion and landscaping for the entrance drive; that the Corpus
Christi Independent School District pay for heating of pools used in their swimming
classes; and landscaping at the Cunningham Memorial Fountain in front of City Hall.
Mayor Pro Tem Tipton recessed the meeting at 3:15 p.m. prior to the Special
Council Meeting on two zoning cases.
The Regular Council Meeting was resumed with presentation of the ordinances
by Assistant City Manager Walker, **(Assistant City Secretary Pierce present.)
Mayor Pro Tem Tipton opened the floor for discussion from the audience regarding
the ordinances, and Mr. R. B. McClure, Jr., C.L.U., objected to the ordinance
establishing a deferred compensation plan for City employees because it did not
include mutual funds, life insurance and annuities. Mr. Harold Zick, Director of
Finance, was asked to come to the Council Chambers and respond.
During the interim, Mayor Pro Tem Tipton again asked if there were petitions
from the audience, and Mr. Howard Sudduth, attorney representing the Corpus Christi
Transportation Company, said they have filed an application for an adjustment of
the rates for taxicabs in Corpus Christi. He urged expeditious processing of the
application, citing increases in costs of operation since their last application
was made and approved by the Council in 1973. He pointed out that the increase is
also badly needed for their drivers"' salaries.
*(Mayor Luby arrived at this time -- 4:40 p.m.)
Director of Finance Harold Zick arrived, and answered Mr. McClure's question
that he did not believe mutual funds, life insurance and annuities were the best
investment for City employees under the deferred compensation plan. He mentioned
that problems would be created with the many different insurance companies contacting
City employees, billing problems, and that the return on U.S. securities is fully
guaranteed with no commissions deducted.

Mr. Durward Thompson also addressed the Council relative to the deferred
compensation ordinance, stating that insurance companies offer a long term
minimum guaranteed return whereas savings and loan companies and banks do
not guarantee the return past the period of time for which the investment is
made. He strongly urged that employees should be given all available alternatives
and be able to choose which investment plan they prefer.
After much further discussion of the matter, Mayor Luby called for the vote
on the ordinances. Assistant City Secretary Pierce polled the Council. All
ordinances passed, as follows:
