Mayor Lozano called for the City Manager's Reports. City Manager Townsend presented the following items with related comments and explanation: a. Recommendation that bide be received at 11 a.m., Tuesday, March 28, 1978 for the following budgeted items: (1) 4,200 feet of 1-1/2" and 2,000 feet of 3" cotton polyester fire hose in 50' lengths. (2) 19 50 -yd. rolls of reflective sheeting and 88 packages of cut-out letters for use by Traffic Engineering in constructing traffic and street name signs. b. Recommendation that two surplus compactors be sold to W. T. Young Construction Company, Corpus Christi for the high bid of $10,000. Bids received from five firms. The compactors purchased in 1973, have failed to provide satisfactory performance because of frequent main drive failure. City Manager Townsend explained that the compactors to be sold had not given satisfactory service; the equipment is four years old; they would be very expensive to repair; therefore, the decision to sell the equipment was previously made. He also stated that the compactors have already been replaced. s by Minutes Regular Council Meeting March 8, 1978 Page 3 c. Recommendation that the final assessment roll for Port Avenue street improvements from the Crosstown Expressway to Buford Street be adopted. The roll consists of 68 parcels totaling $160,545.18. The project was jointly constructed by the Federal and State governments and the City under the Urban Systems Program. Total cost was $774,486.33 with the Federal and State portion being $546,813.04 and the City's, including assessments, $227,673.29. The final roll has been increased $1,911.46 from the $158,633.72 preliminary roll due to additional requests for driveway construction. d. Recommendation that the public hearing on the assessments for the water line construction in Flour Bluff Road and Yorktown Boulevard be closed and the assessment roll be adopted. The preliminary roll has been revised to change parcel No. 8 from $9,062.40 to $5,890.56, because a portion of the land has been determined to be unusable because of a deep pit. Total assessments are $19,625.76 on 8 parcels. The project will be constructed by the City's Water Division. The total project cost is estimated to be $39,474.23. e. Recommendation that the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation's Minute Order, regarding paving South Staples Street from Carroll Lane to Annapolis Drive, and adding the street to the Urban System's program be accepted. Tlie estimated project cost is $231,000 with the City's estimated share of $6,800. South Staples Street from Weber to Carroll Lane is being overlaid as part of the South Staples Street water main replacement. Money was not available at the time of contract award to overlay that portion from Carroll Lane to Annapolis. The City's participation is the estimated cost of adjusting manholes and repairing base failures. f. Recommendation that the action taken on February 22, 1978 to grant revocable easements for a pipeline to South Texas Pipeline be amended to add a 10' wide easement along McKenzie at the Turkey Creek drainage ditch near the intersection of McKenzie and North Harrington. The easement will be used by Champlin Petroleum Company for a pipeline from their new plant under construction to Houston. g• Recommendation that Callins, Haggard E. Associates be engated to provide consultant engineering services for improvements to the City Hall Annex. Planned improvements include installation of air conditioning, improved lighting, and electrical wiring and an exit and fire alarm system. The engineering fee will be 12% of the construction cost, now estimated to be $66,000, which will include the $1,430 already paid for prliminary work. h. Recommendation that the monument in Cole Park honoring Beneto Juarez and Abraham Lincoln be dedicated at 1:15 p.m. on Wednesday, March 22, 1978, as a part of the community's Holy Week activities. Council Member Gill inquired if any officials from Juarez, Mexico will be invited to this dedication. City Manager Townsend replied that such an invitation might present a prob- lem, since invited officials from Mexico might expect more entertainment than a simple, ribbon -cutting ceremony. Minutes Regular Council Meeting March 8, 1978 Page 4 In regard to Item "g", Council Member Sample inquired if the funds allo- cated for the air-conditioning improvements included architectural work. City Manager Townsend stated that the architectural firm of Cotten and Landreth has been employed on an hourly basis because the architectural work that was required was very minor. Mayor Lozano called for comments from the audience on the City Manager's Reports, and there was no response. Motion by Diaz that the City Manager's Reports, Items "a" through "h", be accepted; seconded by Sample; and passed unanimously. City Manager Townsend announced the tabled matter concerning the second reading of the ordinance amending the rotating wrecker ordinance to increase maximum fees allowed for towing and storing disabled vehicles by auto wrecker companies upon request by the Police Department and making certain other amend- ments to the ordinance. Mr. Townsend presented to the Council copies of a memorandum prepared as a result of the meeting between Chief Bill Banner and Commander W. J. Smith of the Police Department; Mr. Tom Basile, Administrative Assistant; Mr. Charles Cromwell, Attorney representing the Corpus Christi Wrecker Association; and Mr. Randy Culpepper, owner of a wrecker service. City Manager Townsend briefly explained the matters discussed and stated that it was recommended that the fee be increased by $10.00 for each hour that the wrecker is on the scene of the accident and that the companies be allowed to charge a storage fee of $2.00 for vehicles of one ton and $5.00 for vehicles over one ton. Council Members Gill and Gulley suggested that in the future, the staff meet with affected parties on matters such as this before presenting to the Council. City Manager Townsend stated that Mr. Basile had met with Mr. Charles Cromwell prior to presentation to the Council, but apparently, there were some wrecker companies not represented by Mr. Cromwell. City Manager Townsend briefly explained the ordinances on the agenda. Mayor Lozano called for comments from the Council on the ordinances. Minutes Regular Council Meeting March 8, 1978 Page 5 City Manager Townsend stated that he would like to withdraw Ordinance "b", which was the third reading on the creation of an Animal Control Advisory Board, and requested that the Council consider the other ordinances at this time. City Secretary Read informed Mayor Lozano that all of the ordinances were not before him at this time. Mr. Townsend then called for a discussion of Ordinance "b". He informed the Council that Dr. W. R. Metzger, Director of Health and Welfare, had discussed the ordinance with Mr. Larry French and Mrs. Sissie Sweeney about the concerns they had in regard to the composition of the board. In regard to the makeup of the Board, City Manager Townsend informed the Council that Mrs. Sweeney had suggested that the membership include the Chairman of the Shelter Committee and the President of PAWS - Gulf Coast Humane Society and a member of the Gulf States Regional Office of the Humane Society of the United States as an ex -officio member. Mr. Townsend stated that Dr. Metzger had suggested that a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine selected by the Coastal Bend Veterinary Medical Association also be appointed. He stated that the staff felt that the City Manager, or his representative; the Director of the City - County Health and Welfare Department, or his representative; and the Animal Control Supervisor should be appointed as ex -officio members of the Board without voting privileges. Speaking in regard to this ordinance was Mr. Larry French, 3510 Aransas Street, a member of PAWS. Mr. French expressed that organization's appreciation to the Council for creating the Board and stated that while they understand that this will be an advisory board, they feel that qualified citizens should be appointed to the Board. He further stated that Dr. Metzger agreed to those suggestions in regard to the qualifications of the members. Mr. French assured the Council that their organization agreed to the 7 members suggested for the Board and that he personally felt that this would be a very workable number. Council Member Gill inquired if a motion would be in order to amend the ordinance creating the Animal Control Advisory Board prior to the third reading, and City Manager Townsend indicated that this would be in order at this time. Minutes Regular Council Meeting March 8, 1978 Page 6 Motion by Gill, seconded by Sample, and passed unanimously that the ordi- nance creating an Animal Control Advisory Board, read on the first two of three readings on February 15, 1978 and February 22, 1978, respectively, be and the same is hereby amended prior to its third and final reading as follows: A.

Minutes Regular Council Meeting March 8, 1978 Page 8 Mr. Marcell Bellfield, Coach of the Star Basketball Team, appeared before the Council and informed the Council that his team had won the Corpus Christi champ- ionship which makes them eligible to represent Corpus Christi in the State tourna- ment in El Paso. Mr. Bellfield stated that the team would require $1,800 for expenses for the trip and inquired if the Council might be able to assist them, indicating that they still require $800 in order to have funds for the expenses for 15 players. Council Member Diaz informed Mr. Bellfield that he would volunteer to spon- sor Mr. Kenneth Robechal, a member of the team who accompanied Mr. Bellfield, and several other Council Members donated funds to assist the team. City Manager Townsend stated that the City has no funds for this purpose, but indicated that he would check with Park and Recreation Department to ascertain if any funds were available in their budget. Speaking on another matter was Mrs. Betty Brandesky, 4017 Cork Street, who stated that she was appearing on behalf of Mr. Louis F. Stasny, who owns property on Rostoryz Road. Mrs. Brandesky related the difficulties Mr. Stasny has exper- ienced in regard to water service and sewer connections. City Manager Townsend explained that the ordinance covering sewer con- nections specifies that sewer connections may be made to a line at a charge of $2.00 per linear foot the first six months that service is available, and after that period, the fee is increased to $5.00. Mrs. Brandesky stated that the 10 -inch water line has been laid down Kostoryz to Mr. Stasny's property, but there is a break between the 10 -inch line and the 2 -inch line. City Manager Townsend inquired as to how Mr. Stasny had acquired the property, and Mrs. Brandesky informed him that Mr. Stasny had purchased the property from United Savings Association. Mr. Townsend informed her that this was an illegal sale because the property was not platted; therefore, the City cannot do anything to correct the situation. He further stated that this is the reason Mr. Stasny had encountered the problems. Mrs. Brandesky contended that the City should have done something to assist Mr. Stasny. City Manager Townsend pointed out that the City would not be Minutes Regular Council Meeting March 8, 1978 Page 9 aware of the sale, and it was the responsibility of the seller of the property to properly plat the property prior to the sale, at which time the City would have required the proper water lines and sewer lines. Mrs. Brandesky stated that Mr. Stasny has attempted to discuss this with Mr. Douglas Matthews, Director of Public Utilities, and Mr. Bill Messer, Director of Wastewater Services, with no success. City Manager Townsend assured her that he would have someone contact Mr. Stasny promptly to explain the situation to him. Mr. Benny Benavides, 2421 Cleo Street, presented a list containing 19 names to be considered for appointment to the Advisory Committee for the Multi - Cultural Center. Noting that public hearings were scheduled for 3:30 p.m. to consider zoning applications, Mayor Lozano declared the Regular Council Meeting recessed at 3:29 p.m. * * * * * * The Regular Council Meeting was reconvened at 4:16 p.m. City Manager Townsend presented the motion to effectuate the changes suggested in the ordinance amending the rotating wrecker service ordinance. Motion by Gill that this matter be removed from the table, seconded by Diaz, and passed unanimously. Motion by Holt that the ordinance, as amended on March 1, 1978, be pre- sented for second reading; seconded by Sample; and passed unanimously.

City Manager Townsend informed the Council that a pending problem exists in that the United States Government may attempt to tax the Workmen's Compensation fund, and he plans to attend a meeting concerning this. Mr. Townsend also announced that a press conference will be conducted in the Council Chamber at 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, March 14, 1978, by Colonel John Wall of the Corps of Engineers in regard to the 404 permit for Choke Canyon. City Manager Townsend stated that the Chamber of Commerce and the Industrial Commission are in the process of planning a trip by a group of citizens to the East F Coast to contact various business firms to establish goodwill. Council Member Gill indicated an interest in accompanying the group on the trip. City Manager Townsend stated that discussion of board and committee appoint- ments will be the first item on the agenda next week. Mr. Townsend presented the Council copies of a memorandum in regard to the opening of the auditorium and stated that the building will be technically completed around March 20, 1978; furniture and stage lighting are still needed; and the symphony has expressed an interest in performing for the official grand opening, but this would Minutes Regular Council Meeting March 8, 1978 Page 11 be in May. He also mentioned the possibility that the performance of the Army Band might be appropriate for the grand opening. Also in connection with the Auditorium, City Manager Townsend stated that he will have a proposed rate schedule in the near future. He also stated that park- ing at this time will be inadequate, but plans are being formulated for parking elsewhere with the use of shuttle buses contemplated to transport people to the Auditorium.
