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. Minutes Regular Council Meeting September 15, 1976 Page 6 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Lozano and passed --with Gulley voting No on item "t" --that the City Manager's Report (items "a" through "v", item "q" withdrawn) be approved.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. 1 me,_ ;r uounci.. meeting September 15, 1976 Page 7 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.
