from February 1, 1977 or as soon thereafter as the bid award can be made

owned by the City adjacent to Lake Corpus Christi he awarded 'to Mr. R. W.
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)

Recommendation that bid award for the purchase and installation of 192
linear feet of acrylic marble wainscoting on the walls of the antique
gallery in the second building of the Corpus Christi Museum be made to
Poelma Floors and Interiors, Corpus Christi, on the basis of the only
bid received of $4,341.95. The gallery will be used to display donated
antiques and artifacts from area homes. Funds are available in the

h. 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. Projects include streets ($26,276)
including San Diego, Washington -Carver, Segrest, Lozano School, and
Casa Blanca area improvements, Flour Bluff and other sanitary sewers
($3,030), Airport improvements ($3,268), park projects ($906), storm
sewers ($522) and, the auditorium $659).
k. Recommendation that the assignment of The lease for 13 -G's Marina, located
along the Intracoastal Canal, from Mr. Eugene 8. Olszewski to Mr. Newell E.
Fisher, Jr. be approved. Mr. Fisher, a resident of Corpus Christi, will
assume all obligations of Mr. Olszewski including the annual rent of
$1,080. 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.

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.
(2) Increase the maximum loan repayment period to 20 years in order
to make monthly payments more realistic.
o. 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.

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.

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

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.

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.
City Secretary Read then polled the Councilmembers for their vote; all ordinances

public hearing and its transcript are requirements of Public Law 92-500 and are
necessary as part of the Step 1 grant work for this project. 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.
Mayor Luby then recessed the meeting at 4:35 P.M. to go into the Board of
Trustees Meeting of the Corpus Christi Housing Improvement Corporation.
