Minutes Regular Council Meeting September 7, 1977 Page 8 In reference to Item "b" which recommends setting a public hearing on zoning cases, Mayor Pro Tem de Ases inquired if Mr. Gilbert C. Garza's applica- tion was the same one that was submitted to the Council several months ago. City Manager Townsend indicated that he felt that it is the same appli- cation.

Mr. Hennings stated that the course calls for 49 contact hours, which is the same as the course taught at Del Mar College. .In regard to Item "p", which deals with approval of iue pro,ose'. budget' for the Nueces County Mental Health and Mental Retardation Grpmmunity Center, Mayor Pro Tem de Ases requested a report on personnel involved in the program, particularly as it pertains to positions, salary levels, and ethnic distribution. Council Member Gill inquired if the City had received notification from EDA in regard to funds for construction of the Horne Road sewer improvements. City Manager Townsend informed the Council that all of the paper work is now completed; the office in Austin has assured the staff that everything is now in order; and the application was sent to Washington. Mr. Townsend did men- tion one requirement connected with the funding which might present a problem in regard to the Horne Road improvements in that it is stipulated by EDA that 10% of the work on any project funded must be done by minority contractors, and there are no minority contractors who are equipped to lay heavy asphalt. City Manager Townsend mentioned the possibility that the 10% figure might be applied to the total projects funded, rather than each individual project. He stated that the Horne Road project will be under construction within two months after the funds are received, and these are expected momentarily. There were no further comments from the Council or the audience on the City Manager's Reports.

Hogarty, 116-C Buccaneer Drive, who addressed the Council at this time. Mrs. Hogarty stated that she is a member of the Nueces County Historical Commission and that she had attended a meeting of the Nueces County Commissioners Court on August 30, 1977, at which time she presented to them the suggestion that the old Nueces County Courthouse be used by the City for the La Retama Library. Mrs. Hogarty pointed out that the building would provide ample space for the library, facilities for meetings, and more parking space for citizens. She stated that Judge Barnes had suggested that she present this idea to the City Council for consideration. City Manager Townsend noted that the site of the old Courthouse and the parking facilities are excellent for this use, but questioned the condition of the building. He stated that he would like to discuss this with the three Council Members who had been appointed to meet with the County Judge to discuss the lease - sale of the County Tax Building on Shoreline. Mayor Pro Tem de Ases suggested that the City Manager arrange the meeting with Judge Barnes to discuss the County Tax Building and stated that he thought Minutes Regular Council Meeting September 7, 1977 Page 10 that his schedule might enable him to meet with the other two Council Members and Judge Barnes on Friday. City Manager Townsend indicated that he would be glad to arrange for the meeting. Mayor Luby called for the ordinances on today's agenda. City Manager Townsend presented the ordinances but requested that the ordinances listed as Items "h" and "i" be considered later in the meeting because there were funding problems in connection with these two ordinances which deal with amendments to the contracts with McCaughan, Etheridge and Webb on the Broadway and Westside Wastewater System improvements.

City Manager Townsend stated that he felt that this would be a good idea if the monument is completed by that time. Council Member Gulley complimented City Manager Townsend on the excellent letter he had written to the Corpus Christi Independent School District in regard to the school crossing guards. City Manager Townsend informed the Council that he had received a letter from Mr. Ramon Hinojosa, Superintendent of the West Oso Independent School District, in which he expressed appreciation for the cooperative attitude of the City of Corpus Christi on matters concerning that school district and in which he had offered assistance from the West Oso Independent School District in regard to the school crossing guards. City Manager Townsend announced that a re -hearing will be conducted on Choke Canyon before the Water Rights Commission at 10:00 a.m. Thursday, September 8, 1977, in Austin, stating that he would like to attend the hearing to make the Commission aware of the interest of the City. He stated that there was a problem in regard to the advertising of the hearing in that there was a question as to whether or not the Corpus Christi Caller -Times is a newspaper of general circula- tion in McMullen County. Mr. Townsend also explained the new makeup of the Water Development Board, which combined the operations of the three water boards which were formerly in existence.
