industry member, one a citizen at large, one an alternate from the general public

tive and nominated Mr. Edward V. Driscoll for this vacancy on the Bay Drilling
Committee. Discussion followed as to the legality of an appointee who has not
been nominated by a member of the oil industry, and City Manager Townsend read
the portion of the ordinance pertaining to this. Mr. Townsend suggested that Mr.

Driscoll might qualify as one of the Mayor's citizen -at -large appointees.
Mayor Luby took exception to the requirement that the oil industry appointee
be nominated by a member of that industry and stated that he felt that the ordinance
should be revised. He also stated that the members of the oil industry had not
discussed the matter of the appointee with him.
' Since there was some question about these appointments, City Manager
Townsend suggested that the matter be placed on the agenda for January 25 as a
discussion item during the Workshop Meeting.
Council Member Gulley requested that copies of the ordinance pertaining
to the Bay Drilling Committee be placed in the Council envelopes that are delivered
on Friday.
Mayor Pro Tem de Ases suggested that since the appointments will be dis-
cussed next week, that members of the oil industry be made aware of Mayor Luby's
preference for the oil industry appointee. City Manager Townsend stated that this
will be brought to their attention. Mayor Luby expressed the opinion that any
members of the oil industry who wish to make recommendations should call on the
Mayor to see if the appointees they wish to suggest are acceptable to him.

ing Code Board of Appeals. Motion by Sample that the nominations cease and Mr.

brush loaders.

d. Recommendation that bids be received at 11 a.m., Tuesday, February 21, 1978,
for an electronically operated coin sorter, counter and packager for use
by the Transit Division. This equipment is included in the 1976 capital
grant from the Urban Mass Transportation Administration and will be paid
for 80% by the federal government, 13% by the State Department of Highways
and Public Transportation and 7% by the City. Currently, sorting and counting
is done by hand.
e. Recommendation that a spare scraper tire for the Elliott Sanitary Landfill
be purchased from B.F. GOODRICH COMPANY, Corpus Christi, on the basis of
low bid of $2,058. Bids were received from five firms. Price reflects a
decrease of 6% from previous purchase.
f. Recommendation that two exhibit cases for the Corpus Christi Museum be pur-
chased from ESCH & ASSOCIATES, INC., Houston, on the basis of only bid received
of $4,520. The cases will be used as a center display in the antiques gallery.
No bids were received on the opening date, January 3. Contacts with prospective
bidders revealed that Esch & Associates had mailed a bid on December 29 which
was not received by Purchasing until January 6. Since none of the other pro-
spective bidders expressed an interest in bidding and since the bid was post-
marked before January 3, it is recommended that the award be made.
S. Recommendation that a one -year's supply of hydrogen peroxide (approximately
673,700 lbs.) be purchased from McKESSON CHEMICAL COMPANY, Corpus Christi,
on the basis of only bid received of $186,345.42. The peroxide is used
for in-line treatment and odor and corrosion control at the Broadway and
Westside Treatment Plants and the McArdle trunk main in a program initiated
two years ago. Price comparison shows a 2.4% increase over last year,
but only .3% increase over the current price. The award is based on a
fluctuating price.
h. Recommendation that the H.E.B. Tennis Center Repair contract be accepted
and final payment of $8,802.75 for a total of $30,254.30 be made to Casey
& Glass. The project included repair of major cracks and heaved areas and
color coating and resurfacing of all 5 batteries, including the practice
courts. The contractor exceeded his 40 -day allotled working time by 2 days,
but a two-day extension is recommended because of weather delays caused by
windy and wet conditions during the month of December.
i. Recommendation that the Boys' Club Improvements project be accepted and final
payment of $7,872.10 for a total of $78,721 be made to Malek, Inc. This
project provided a new gymnasium floor, lighting and ventilation improvements
in the gymnasium, a new 10 -ton air conditioning unit, and new ceiling tile
in the auditorium of the Boys' Club. The project was in the 2nd Year
Community Development Program. The contractor exceeded the allotted working
time by 13 days, but due to delays caused by delivery of materials, a 13 -day
extension is recommended. The Boys' Club Board of Directors concur except
that they do not believe the new floor is acceptable.

on the City Manager's Reports.
Motion by Sample that the City Manager's Reports, Items "a" through "r"

Mayor Luby announced the tabled zoning application on the following matter:
Mr. Roland Garcia: Tract A: "B-4" to "I-2"; Tract B: "A-1" to "I-2", located on
the east side of Navigation Blvd. between Highway 44 and Old Brownsville Road was
heard on September 14, 1977 and tabled until further information was received from
the Planning Commission relative to an appropriate development plan for the entire
area.
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. Russell Farm
Blocks, to "I-2"; seconded by Diaz; and passed unanimously.

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.
