Recommendation that Parcel 5 for the Kostoryz Road - Padre Island Drive to Holly Road Street Improvement Project be acquired for $3,300 from Ma. Deanna Margaret Pulliam Ericson and Ms. Janice Sue Pulliam Clark. The acquisition price is $300 over the approved value of $3,000 and is recommended because of a 1976 sale in the immediate area. No additional appropriation is required. This parcel is located on the east side of Kostoryz between Padre Island Drive and Sokol Drive. (Bid Tab #1-77) e. Recommendation that a cooperative contract be renewed for operation of a stream -flow gauging station on the Nueces River at the Tilden crossing west of Three Rivers with the Texas Water Development Board and the United States Geological Survey to estimate flows coming into Lake Corpus Christi. Total cost from September 1, 1976, through August 31, 1977, will be $3,340. The City's share will be $1,369, the Texas Water Development Board's $301, and the U.S. Geological Survey's $1,670. The City's cost for 1975-76 was $1,279. f. Recommendation that the determination by Mr. Warren H. Butler, Acting Assistant Secretary of HUD, that the tennis courts under construction on City land adjacent to West Oso High School will not be eligible for Community Development financial participation be accepted; the appropriation authorized by Ordinance No. 13371 on September 1, 1976, providing $15,000 from the West Oso Independent School District and $51,000 from the Park Bond Fund be reinacted and Ordinance No. 13403, Minutes Regular Council Meeting January 5, 1977 Page 4 g. which provided $15,000 from West Oso, $16,000 from Park Bond Fund, and $35,000 from the Community Development program be cancelled. $35,000 of Community Development money will then become available for reallocation to cost overruns on existing projects or for new projects after the approved projects in the first and second year program have been completed. Since the City will still receive all of the Community Development grant, it does not appear reasonable to expend further time and money to attempt to overrule Mr. Butler's decision. Recommendation that $7,105,000 City of Corpus Christi, Texas, Junior Lien Waterworks Revenue Bonds Series 1977 be sold to the Texas Water Development Board to provide funds for the Choke Canyon Water Reservoir Project.

Recommendation that the home improvement loan manual be revised to: (1) decrease the 4% loan rate to 3%, (2) to incorporate provisions for assignment and/or sale of mortgages. j• Recommendation that a grant application be approved for third year funding of the Retired Senior Volunteer Program by the ACTION•state office, and to execute all related documents. The one—year grant period would begin April 1, 1977. The total amount is $42,595.00, of which $27,808 is federal funds and $14,787 non—federal. The non—federal amount includes CETA funds for a bus operator ($3,360), meals provided for volunteers by volunteer stations ($2,960) and City appropriations ($8,461). The non—federal share has been increased by 10% and the federal share reduced accordingly because of a change in federal regulations regarding in—kind services. There are currently approximately 140 volunteers providing 5,000 hours of service monthly at thirty—six stations. Upon questioning from the Council, City Manager Townsend discussed item "g" in more detail and gave a status report on the Choke Canyon project. No one from the audience spoke regarding the City Manager's Report. Motion by Tipton that the foregoing items be approved; seconded by Lozano and passed --with Luby voting No on item "h". Minutes Regular Council Meeting January 5, 1977 Page 5 City Manager Townsend next distributed to the Council copies of the Staff's report regarding publications of the Corpus Christi Area Convention and Tourist Bureau, which resulted from an inquiry several weeks ago concerning use of monies by the Executive Director of the Bureau. City Manager Townsend reviewed that the City has a five-year contract with the Bureau for advertising and promotion services to increase tourist and convention traffic in Corpus Christi, and that the 1976-77 budget appropriated $314,800 to the Bureau for that purpose, and $10,000 for promotional trips. He showed the Council copies of the monthly publication, "Sparkler", and the annual publication, the "Texas Tropical Coast". Mr. Townsend highlighted portions of the statement of the Board of Directors of the Bureau as to their understanding of the arrangements with the Executive Director regarding the two publications. He pointed out the areas as listed in his memo which are not consistent with the City -Bureau contract or with sound management practices, and the areas of probable unauthorized use of monies for expenses related to the two publications. Mr. Townsend also presented bookkeeping records from the Bureau showing the expenses for both publications as far back as 1971. City Manager Townsend stated that the Board has promised to revise their contract with the Executive Director, and could present it to the Council for their review by March 1. He advised that the Staff concluded after reviewing the matter that there are some questions as to good judgment on the part of the Board, and mismanagement of funds; but that there has been no impropriety as to the City's contract with the Board -- only the Board's contract with their Executive Director. The Council agreed to review the contract as soon as it is presented to them. City Manager Townsend next discussed with the Council the proposed sale of bonds. Relative to bonds for the community -convention center, City Manager Townsend stated there is no way of knowing when the Texas Supreme Court will rule on the lawsuit over that election; and stressed that if bids are taken, the bonds must be sold. Minutes Regular Council Meeting January 5, 1977 Page 6 City Manager Townsend proposed the sale of 2.8 million dollars of bonds on February 9, 1977 for capital improvements, including sanitary sewer lines, park, drainage, street, and service center bonds. He emphasized that the City has an excellent bond rating, and the bond market is good at this time. After some discussion, the Council agreed to the proposed bond sale on February 9. City Manager Townsend stated he would bring forth his recommendation to that effect later in the meeting. Mayor Luby recessed the meeting at 3:25 p.m. prior to a Special Meeting on five zoning matters. The Regular Council Meeting was resumed at 5:11 p.m. with presentation of the ordinances by City Manager Townsend. There were no commends from the audience. Mayor Luby declared ordinance "h" on the agenda authorizing the sale of waterworks revenue bonds and employing Mr. Hobby McCall and Mr. M. E. Allison, Sr. for that transaction to be heard on three readings rather than as an emergency. City Manager Townsend then withdrew that ordinance, saying he would bring it forth again at a later date. Mayor Luby asked that the records reflect this action.
