Sullivan c/o Mr. Ronald Chachere on the basis of the only bid received. The bid was for a 90 -day lease with a bonus of $12.50 per acre ($818.75) and a royalty of 3/16ths. The lease provides that: Bid Tab: 2-77 (1) Any surface use must receive approval of the Lower Nueces River Water Supply District (2) All City land drilling ordinance requirements must be followed (3) Unitization of any portion will only hold the portion so unitized beyond the primary lease. f.

Recommendation that the air conditioning improvement work at the Corpus Christi Museum, North Building, be accepted and final payment of $749.54 for a total of $3,234.41 be made to the L &M Metal Fabricators. This project provided minor air conditioning duct and diffuser work for new exhibit spaces. The allotted 20 -day contract working time was exceeded by 18 days because the contractor could not in a timely manner obtain necessary diffusers. An 18 -day extension is therefore recommended. i. Recommendation that plans and specifications for graphics for International Airport be approved and bids be received February 8, 1977. The project includes• removal of all existing signs within the airport lobby, concourse and baggage claim area and installation of new fiber glass signs using the international symbols and providing directions for the recently modified security and baggage facilities. j• Recommendation that the General Fund be reimbursed $34,661.75 for engineer- ing services for various Bond and Community Development projects during November and an additional $32,442.44 be appropriated to supplement $2,219.31 in existing appropriations.

The lease expires October 24, 1979 and is for part of the land along the John F. Kennedy Causeway which the City leases from the School Land Board. 1. Recommendation that paving assessments against Nueces County Hospital District ($10,747.70) and the Corpus Christi Housing Authority (Wiggins Project) ($9,917.36) for improvements to Buford Street be cancelled. Political subdivisions are exempt from paving assessments unless they voluntarily agree to make payment in order to benefit from the improve- ments. Both the Hospital District and the Housing Authority, have advised in writing that they do not intend to participate in the cost of these improvements. m. Recommendation that an amendment be approved to the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the City and the Corpus Christi Firefighters' Associa- tion to provide for the creation of an additional Firefighter II eligi- bility roster after all present Firefighter II vacancies have been filled. Under the present provisions, those firefighters who do not have EMT -A certification but who have passed the promotional examination may be passed over in the appointment of the first 60 positions. This amendment will allow the establishment of a new eligibility roster, giving all Fire- fighter II's an equal opportunity to be promoted from Firefighter I to vacant Firefighter II positions and give an opportunity for those fire- fighters who were passed over and hired prior to October 1, 1973, and do not hold EMT -A certification to seek promotions on a competitive basis with other Firefighter I's after the first 60 appointments. Minutes Regular Council Meeting January 12, 1977 Page 4 n. Recommendation that the Home Improvement Loan Manual be revised to: (1) Increase maximum loans from $10,000 to $12,500 for improvements and from $15,000 to $17,000 for improvements and refinancing.

Recommendation that an amendment to the contract with the Equal Employ- ment Opportunity Commission be approved to extend the grant contract period from December 31, 1976, through February 28, 1977, and authority be granted to execute all necessary documents for contract renewal or extensions of this program at a funding level of approximately $3,334 per month with the present number of staff positions and no additional City expense through December 31, 1977. The present contract began on March 1, 1976, and provided $38,968 to support a secretary and two administrative assistants to investigate equal employment discrimina- tion complaints. The contract amendment will provide an additional $6,667 to continue support of these positions. Seventy-three cases were investigated from March 1 - December 31, 1976. It is anticipated that an additional 13 cases will be investigated during January and February 1977. P• Recommendation that authority be granted for the City as the Administrative Unit of the Manpower Consortium, to submit a CEPA Title I grant modification to the Department of Labor, adding $307,260 new FY 77 funds, $175,000 deobligated FY 76 funds, and $289,249 incentive funds to the current grant for a total of $771,509. The funds will be distributed as indicated below. The Executive Committee approved these actions at its January 3, 1977 meeting. Veterans Outreach Program $18,000 Coastal Bend Work Experience 145,105 Jobs for Progress (SER) 55,000 LULAC 11,200 Texas Employment Commission (Outreach) 120,922 HIALCO 75,060 CCISD Youth Services Program 145,105 Under discussion of the City Manager's Report, Councilmember Sample asked that if on item "h", L & M Metal Fabricators was a minority contractor. Mr. Townsend replied by saying they were a minority contractor and that in fact, most of the City's service contracts were minority contracts. Concerning item "1", Councilmember Sample asked why the Nueces County Hospital District did not want to pay $10,747.70 for the paving assessment and City Manager Townsend replied by saying that the Hospital Board simply chose not to pay for it -- that the Nueces County Hospital District is a governmental agency and any governmental agency is exempt from paying if they choose not to. Mayor Luby then opened the floor for discussion from the audience concerning the City Manager's Report. There was no discussion from the audience. Motion by Sample, seconded by Lozano and passed unanimously, that the City Manager's Report (items "a" through "p") be approved. Min . Regular Council Meeting January 12, 1977 Page 5 Councilmember Sample said he would like to make a statement regarding a racist remark Tom Boyd made at the December 16 meeting of the Nueces County Mental Health -Mental Retardation Community Center Board. Mr. Sample said he had attended a meeting last Friday in the office of County Judge Robert Barnes at which Mr. Boyd told of the circumstances of the conversation that went on before he made his comment. At the end, Mr. Boyd had apologized for the comment and stated that he should not have made it. Mr. Sample believes Mr. Boyd was sincere in his statement and he, personally, did not feel Mr. Boyd should have been asked for his resignation as a board member. Mr. Sample went on to say that those who asked for Boyd's resignation had been invited to the meeting at Judge Barnes' office but did not attend. Mr. Sample said he is thoroughly convinced that Mr. Boyd was sincere in his apology. Councilmember Ruth Gill said she had not attended that meeting but recommends that .Mr. Boyd not be asked to resign. Mr. de Ases said he, too, is of the same opinion. Councilmember de Ases said it was his understanding that at 2 o'clock today, bids will be received by the Corps of Engineers in Galveston on the Corpus Christi Beach Restoration Project. Councilmember de Ases asked City Manager Townsend for status of Council in matters of litigation --any requirements from the City Manager's office to let members of the Council know that a lawsuit has been filed. City Manager Townsend explained the general policy. He said he tries to keep the members of the Council advised. He added that on this particular matter, it was three different lawsuits --that it was a separate kind of action. Councilmember de Ases requested that in the future, the Council be apprised in full detail of any litigations --not just a brief report. City Manager Townsend announced word had just been received that a company from Louisiana had come in with a low bid of $539,559 on the beach project. Bids ranged up to $1,429,775, with the lowest being about $53,000 short of the government estimate. Mayor Luby read his letter requesting a full audit of the books of the Corpus Christi Area Tourist Bureau and its two promotional magazines. The bureau is charged with not keeping adequate financial records on the magazines, which are run by Bob Conwell, Executive Vice -President of the bureau. City Manager Townsend told Mayor Luby, "there is nothing that was involved that an audit will help you resolve". City Manager Townsend told Mayor Luby he is not defending the board but pointed out the board had advised Mayor Luby that they didn't ask Mr. Conwell to keep records separate. City Manager Townsend said it would not be possible now to Minutes Regular Council Meeting January 12, 1977 Page 6 obtain a full audit of the magazine accounts. The only records kept were similar to checking account records and were not kept apart from tourist bureau records. He also said it would be impossible to determine how much time tourist bureau staff spent in assisting the magazine publication because these duties were mixed in with their bureau duties. City Manager Townsend said he would give Mayor Luby copies of the last two yearly audits of the tourist bureau books. Mayor Luby said he would study those audit reports. Mayor Luby then called for petitions from the audience, and Mr. David Cadena, 3325 Tahiti, presented the Council with a petition (#1-77) signed by approximately eighty persons asking the Council to abandon plans for a sewer lift station several blocks south of their neighborhood. They want to get sewer service in their part of their neighborhood since they think they have a more populous neighborhood than the one where the sewer service is planned. Amap of the area for the project was reviewed and discussed. City Manager Townsend said that in 1972, a bond election was held and that the City had advertised that sewer service would be provided in the area of Tropic Isles Canal south to the King Ranch fence. Only $125,000 was voted for the sewer work and that is not enough to do all the work needed. He further stated that the Council chose, several months ago, not to spend money in this area of Tropic Isles because it is in a high noise area of the Waldron Field flight path. Mr. Ray Fisher, 3234 Tahiti, asked City Manager Townsend what the noise had to do with the sewer. City Manager Townsend replied by saying that sewers allow more development than septic tanks do and that it has been the policy of the Council to discourage development in areas of high noise due to Navy flight training because of complaints about noise having an ill effect on the presence of the Navy in Corpus Christi. Councilmember Gabe Lozano, Sr. pointed out that the idea of discouraging development because the neighborhood is in a flight noise zone is no longer relevant. He said the houses are there now and the sewer service should be put where it will serve the most people. It was determined that sixty-one houses are now at the Tropic Isles Neighborhood whereby only thirteen houses are in Zone 1 where the sewer lift station is being planned. .utes Regular Council Meeting January 12, 1977 Page 7 Councilmember Ruth Gill asked Mr. Cadena whether he knew if any neighborhood resident had complained about the noise and Mr. Cadena answered by saying, "Yes, there has been some complaints, but the noise zone rasp is useless". He said he was a pilot himself and can very well understand that it is hard for student pilots to keep their planes on the..prescribed flight path. Consequently, the noise area wanders with the planes. Mr. Cadena further said that his house is already in that area and either he learns to live with the noise or just moves out. Mrs. Betty Sandstedt, 3413 Samoa, said this whole thing was just getting to be ridiculous. She said heavy rains and crowded conditions in the neighborhood have made it impossible to keep septic tanks from overflowing. She said she was a navy wife, herself, and had lived in countries where they did not have sewer service and had learned to control the flow into the septic tanks but that apparently, it is still inadequate in this situation. Mrs. Sandstedt complained of raw sewage flowing into the Tropic Isles Canal and would appreciate any help the Council could give them. Mrs. David Cadena, 3325 Tahiti, said the neighborhood was one big septic tank. She further stated that they had had someone from the Health Department take samples of the raw sewage. City Manager Townsend corrected her by saying that it was the City's own lab people who had been in the area to take samples and run lab tests to determine whether the flow is sewage or just rain runoff. He stated that the neighborhood has drainage problems. City Manager Townsend said the matter would be brought up before the Council next week with a more comprehensive report indicating the kinds of complaints from people in that area and also with a report of the lab results. Mr. Cadena said he is really pleading with the Council to do anything they can for them. Mayor Luby then asked for any further comments from the audience on any further matters. There were no other comments from the audience. Mayor Luby recessed the meeting at 3:25 P.M. The Regular Council Meeting was resumed at 3:45 P. M. with presentation of the ordinances. No one from the audience addressed the Council relative to the ordinances.

The proposed project involves increasing capacity from 500,000 to 1,300,000 gallons per day and providing duplication of units to meet the reliability criteria of EPA for a plant discharging in shell fish areas. Mr. Gordon Irwin, Administrative Assistant -Engineering, stated that all legal requirements regarding timetable and posting and publication of legal notices had been carried out in compliance with the EPA guidelines to several agencies, some statewide and some local. To date, none of the agencies have responded to the letter but he is certain that some will in the near future. He further stated he does not anticipate any unusual demands from any of the agencies contacted and that the City intends to comply with their requests. 14r. Irwin then introduced Mr. Larry Urban, who made a detailed presentation of the facility plan. Mr. Urban explained that the hearing is on feasibility of the planned improvements and is a step required for obtaining federal funds for the project. (A transcript of this hearing is on file in the office of Engineering and Physical Development.) Motion by Tipton, seconded by Sample and passed, that the hearing be closed.
