In regard to Item "m", concerning the exhibition of artifacts from the Spanish shipwrecks, Mayor Luby inquired about the type of security planned during the exhibit. City Manager Townsend replied that the staff has discussed this, and the usual security will be provided and insurance will be in effect. There was no further discussion by the Council or members of the audience on the City Manager's Reports. Motion by Sample that the City Manager's Reports, Items "a" through "r" be accepted; seconded by Diaz; and passed unanimously. City Manager Townsend informed the Council that there was a need to amend, prior to second reading, the ordinance increasing water rates to clarify that the businesses along the John F.

The Planning Commission considered this request on September 27, 1977, and requested the staff to prepare a land use study for developing a master plan of the area. The study was presented on December 6, 1977, and after considerable discussion, the Commission decided it was not prepared to recommend a master plan but as guidelines for development, it recommended that all those properties north of the "no name" street be designated as "I-2" and those properties south of the street remain as presently zoned. The Garcia property is located in the area recommended for "I-2". The 207, rule is in effect. City Manager Townsend reminded the Council that Mr. S. F. Crecelius owns property adjacent to Mr. Garcia's property and he is opposed to the change of zon- ing, which invokes the 20% rule. Chief Planner Larry Wenger located the area on the zoning and land use map, described the land use in the surrounding area, showed slides of the area and stated that it is partially developed but most of the area is in cultivation. Mr. Wenger indicated on the map the area which the Planning Commission recommends be zoned "I-2" which includes all of the area north of "no name" street and the property south of that street remain as presently zoned. Motion by de Ases that the zoning application be removed from the table, seconded by Sample, and passed unanimously. City Manager Townsend summarized that the question before the Council is whether or not the area north of "no name" street should be zoned "I-2". Motion by de Ases that the Council accept the recommendation of the Planning Commission and change the zoning on Tract A, which is a 7.67± acre tract of land out of a portion of Block 10, J. C. Russell Farm Blocks, and Tract B, which is an 11.82± acre tract of land out of a portion of Block 10, J. C.

Minutes Regular Council Meeting January 18, 1978 Page 10 Mayor Luby reconvened the Regular Council Meeting at 5:23 p.m. and called for the presentation of the ordinances. City Manager Townsend briefly explained the ordinances. Mayor Luby called for discussion by the Council on the ordinances. In regard to the ordinances awarding contracts for the improvements at International Airport, Council Member Gill inquired if an effort was made to obtain bids from local contractors, particularly minority contractors. City Manager Townsend replied that most painting contractors do not care to perform runway painting and the contractors who do this type of painting are specialists and have the proper equipment that is required.
