from two firms. The cost is recommended to be charged against the General
Fund Reserves until financing is arranged for the project.
City Manager Townsend commented that the Certificates of Obligation which

priated for acquisition of these parcels.
City Manager Townsend reminded the Council that negotiations for acquisition
of this property have been going on for several years, but the staff feels that the
values should be brought up to the 1976 values.
Council Member Diaz pointed out that the values of these parcels will con-
tinue to increase unless the City is able to obtain some type of commitment from

the property owners.
City Manager Townsend assured the Council that the City staff has made every
attempt to come to an agreement with the property owners but has been unsuccessful.
Mr. Townsend then pointed out the various tracts involved, including the lots that
have already been purchased. City Manager Townsend explained that the usual proce-
dure in connection with the approved values is to present the Council with copies
of the recommended values, which are not included in the ordinance, and place a
copy of the values in the Office of the City Secretary for verification at the time
of the sale of the property.

animals, livestock, or fowl, including swine, when the facility Is located
more than 500' from a building used for human habitation. The Calallen
Independent School District Is establishing a farm on its high school campus
for vocational agriculture classes. The Health Department would prescribe
minimum sanitary and other conditions. The present code does not allow
swine. The five acre farm would house approximately 100 animals.
v. The public hearing on the paving assessments for Port Avenue Improvements from
the Crosstown Expressway to Ayers Street be closed and the assessment roll be
adopted. The roll reflects the recommendation made by Mr. Holly on items
No. 8, 13, 17, and 28. The roll includes 39 Items for a total assessment of

Council Member Holt referred to the proposed sidewalk to be installed at the
rear of Mr. Perry Tucker's property on Waco Street and expressed the opinion that
the sidewalk would not enhance the property involved.
City Manager Townsend stated that he felt that the sidewalk should be con-
structed because there would be an abrupt interruption in the sidewalk which could
be dangerous to pedestrians. He agreed that if the property involved is not
enhanced, the assessment should be reduced accordingly. Mr. Townsend did point
out that Mr. Tucker had previously paid assessments on other streets bordering on
his property.
After further discussion of this particular sidewalk assessment, Council
Member Gill suggested that Item No. 102 of the assessment roll be reduced by
$390, which is the amount of the assessment for the sidewalk adjacent to Mr.
Tucker's property on Waco, but that the sidewalk be installed at the City's expense.
City Manager Townsend stated that this action would not require a motion,
but if the Council concurred, he would amend the City Manager's report which would
result in a reduced assessment roll total of $100,756.03 for this project.
x. The second supplemental agreement to the contract with NRA be approved to
indicate the City's concurrence in the terms and conditions of the proposed
$13,000,000 bond sale and to instruct the trustee to maximize investments
of cash in the construction and debt service reserve funds.
Y. The following documents relating to the sale of $13,000,000 of water supply
revenue bonds on April 4, 1979 at 101:00 a.m. by Nueces River Authority be approved.
(1) proposed bond resolution
(2) proposed Notice of Sale
(3) proposed bid form.
(4) proposed official statement
The contract between the City and the Authority requires that the City approve
all actions regarding financing of Choke Canyon Reservoir. The bonds will be
supported solely by the City's pledge of water revenues from all of the City's
customers, including Alice, San Patricio Municipal Water Supply District, .
Port Aransas, and Mathis. It is further recommended that the ordinance
provide that the financial documents mentioned above, the interest rate bid,
and all other aspects of the final sale be considered approved by the City
upon formal review by the Director of Finance, City Attorney and City Manager.
The bonds will mature from 1981 to 2009. All of the proceeds will be used
for the local sponsors' payments of the initial advance estimated as of
January 1, 1978 to be $21,479,517. The balance of the local advance was made
possible by the City's sale of second lien water revenue bonds to the Texas
Water Development Board which enabled the City to retire its outstanding
water revenue bonds and use the balance for payments to the Bureau of
Reclamation. As of January 1, 1978, the cost of Choke Canyon was estimated
to be $93,078,000 which would require, in addition to the $21,479,517 advance,
repayment by the local sponsors of approximately $40,000,000 over the next
50 years plus interest at 5.1%.

1.0$ of gross income or $525 whichever is greater
1.0% of gross income or $535 whichever is greater
1.0% of gross Income or $550 whichever is greater
It is further recommended that the agreements be amended to provide that the

bid security of $1,000 will be forfeited. The previous requirements was for
an opening date no later than December 31, 1979. The monthly rents are based
on supplemental bids submitted by the two prospective lessees.
aa. A public hearing be held at 2 p.m. during the Regular Council Meeting on March 7,
1979 on closing and abandoning a 10' wide alley situated within Block 1103,
Fitchue Place Addition. The block is bounded by Ayers Street, 14th Street,
Brownlee Boulevard and McKenzie Street.
bb. Licenses and fees for "Milk and Milk Products" be amended to allow the City
Council to revise the fee structure at any time during the year. The current
ordinance requires all licensees to make advance payment for their annual license
(which begins March 1). This arrangement makes change difficult at any time but
March 1. Since the action of the State Legislature will not be known for several
months, this change will enable the City Council to act after the Legislature
determines the future state role In milk inspection.
Mayor Lozaho called for comments from the members of the audience on the City
Manager's Reports.
Mr. Clifford Cosgrove, 3302 Olsen, referred to Item "q", which pertains t9
updating the values of the property in the Bayfront Science Park, and pointed eut that
acquisition of this property has been in process for years and suggested that a cost
be determined and the land be acquired. He contended that the delay allows for the
increase in valuations, which in turn costs the City more money. He suggested that
the City condemn the property and acquire it, thus save money rather than continuing
the attempt to purchase the property.
City Manager Townsend pointed out that this is not a request for further
appropriations; the staff estimates that the remaining property can be acquired for
$600,000 or less; and explained that condemnetton proceedings require a greet deal

of staff time and a considerable amount of money possibly in excess of the amount
available for acquisition. City Manager Townsend stated that the City will probably
instigate condemnation proceedings on a few pieces of property to 60 days if the
staff is unsuccessful in acquiring it in that length of time.
Mrs. Elizabeth Price, 4309 Loma Alta Road, spoke in opposition to the approval
of the sites for the barge restaurants. Mrs. Price expressed the opinion that the
restaurants would be unsightly in the Bay and would create a pollution problem
because of the trash and garbage disposal problem. She contended that the installa-
tion of the restaurants and the statue in the Bay would open the door for all kinds
of businesses to be installed in the Bay area.
Mr. Ross Trigg, of Hygeia Dairy, expressed opposition to the change in the
milk ordinance as proposed in Item "bb." He explained to the Council that the State
Legislature is considering a bill to regulate the milk fees at this time, and the
Committee hearings on this legislation are scheduled for March 7 and March 14. He
stated that he felt that the way the ordinance is scheduled to be amended would
actually place the local dairies at an extreme disadvantage. Mr. Trigg urged that
the ordinance not be passed until the State Legislature has had an opportunity to
act.
Council Member Diaz explained that4the only thing the Council will do is'
reserve the right to amend the fees if the.Legislature does not act.
City Manager Townsend stated that the ordinance properly provides the
right for the Council to amend the fees, but the ordinance to actually amend the
fees would have to go back to the Council.
Speaking in regard to the barge restaurants, Mrs. Dorothy Bourg Spann, 502
Del Mar, pointed out that the mobility of barge restaurants would allow the removal
of the restaurants if problems are created by their existence. She expressed the
opinion that the restaurants would provide attractions for the community that would
benefit residents as well as tourists.
There was no further discussion on the City Manager's Reports.
Motion by Holt that the City Manager's Reports, Items "a" thru "bb," be
accepted; seconded by Gulley; and passed unanimously.

and passed unanimously.
City Manager Townsend assured Mr. Peerman that the name of the applicant

City Manager Townsend stated that the Staff would like to have several ,
motions to amend the ordinances on the Gault Aviation lease and the barge restau-

Townsend pointed out that this is the first reading on this ordinance, and this
phrase could be included in the ordinance prior to its second reading.
Mr. Townsend then presented for the Council's consideration a motion to
amend the ordinance granting a lease to the Johnny Rodriguez Life Enrichment
Center.
Motion by Diaz, seconded by Juarez, and passed unanimously that the ordinance
authorizing an amended lease agreement between the City of Corpus Christi and the
Johnny Rodriguez Life Enrichment Center, extending the original lease term from
eleven (11) months to five (5) years, for a recreation center for the handicapped,
in Greenwood Park, upon its completion of construction, acceptance, and conveyance
to the City, read on the first of three readings on February 21, 1979, be and the
same is hereby amended prior to its second reading as follows:
A. Amend paragraph 4 of Exhibit "A" (the amended lease agreement), adding
an additional sentence, said paragraph 4 to hereafter read as follows:
"4. The responsibility for the maintenance and operation of the recrea-
tion center will be and remain with the Center. Some portion of the
recreation center shall actually function as a recreation center for
the handicapped throughout the term of this lease, provided, however,
that the Center may simultaneously use such recreation center for other
purposes, which are generally public in nature."
B. Amend paragraph 7 of Exhibit "A" (the amended lease agreement), delet-
ing the third sentence, said paragraph 7 to hereafter read as follows:
"7. Center agrees to provide all'building and equipment maintenance and
janitorial service. City will provide maintenance of grounds, walk-
ways, parking areas and driveways."
In regard to the second reading of the ordinance listed as "c" concerning
the lease with the Corpus Christi Cultural Council for a site for the installation
of a statue symbolizing the name and location of the City of Corpus Christi, Council
Member Holt stated that he desires to abstain from Voting on• this ordinance; expressing
opposition to it at this time. Mr. Holt clarified his opposition indicating that he
is not opposed to the statue but to the manner in which the matter has been handled.
Council Member Holt expressed the opinion that the Council should have first determ-
ined that there is a need for art for the community; they should have determined
the best place for the art object and specified that it should be placed on Sunfish
Island; and then subsequently invited anyone who wished to present a proposal for
such an art object to do so, following which the Council would determine which would
be appropriate for the previously selected location. Mr. Holt then suggested that
the Council should not pursue the matter because of the possibility of a lawsuit
as it concerns separation of church and state.

Council Member Gill agreed with Mr. Holt that possibly the matter has not
been thoroughly studied and inquired of the City Manager as to how many weeks must
elapse before the ordinance is read for the third and final time if it is read on
second reading during this meeting.
City Manager Townsend pointed out that the only change that was made in
the ordinance earlier in the meeting vfas':to-clarify the description of the site
because this was not clearly defined=at the time the ordinance was read on its
first reading. He also stated that the third reading of the ordinance would note
occur until after the moratorium, because leases cannot be passed until 30 days
after the first reading of the ordinance granting a lease.
Council Member Holt again pointed out that it appears that the City has
not properly studied the matter and the Council is rushing through the item.
Council Member Sample noted that this suggestion of the installation of
the statue was first presented to the Council fifteen months ago, and this period
of time could hardly be defined as "rushing through" something.
City Manager Townsend agreed that the Council had obviously thought about
the project for some ttme; the decision on the site was made very quickly; and the
staff was forced to locate a tract on Sunfish Island and they did not have time to
obtain a definite description of the site. Mr. Townsend also explained that the
lease before the Council requires that the applicant obtain the proper permits;
the applicant may not be aware of exactly which permits will be required; this is
completely unresolved; and it is possible that a permit must be obtained from the
Corps of Engineers.
Council Member Diaz compared3h1's.brdfnance to.th'at7af the ordTnanaa-grant-

attempt to resolve all of the items In the lease. He stated that in this case,
the Council and the staff are Just trying to refine an ordinance.
Mayor Pro Tem Gulley referred to Mr. Holt's suggestion that the Council
should have established the fact that they would like to have some type of art in
the Bay and expressed the opinion that he felt that most citizens would like to have
art donated to the City to be placed anywhere, stating that he sees no reason why
the Council should have established the fact that art is•neaded for the City. Mr.
Gulley also stated that he did not feel that the Council rushed Into the -matter.

Council Member Sample expressed the opinion that the Council certainly did
not rush into this matter at all; in fact, they proscratinated on it for a long
time and dodged the issue because they asked for. the Attorney General's opinion
before acting at all and even after that opinion had been obtained, the Council
did not act until the applicant again presented the matter. Mr. Sample also stated
that he does not feel that the opponent who has appeared before the Council repre-
sents a majority of the citizens.
Mayor Lozano stated that he did not see any reason to delay the second '
reading of the ordinance because the citizens who are opposed to the installation
of the statue today will also be opposed to it in ten years or in just a few weeks
when the final reading is before the new Council.
Also speaking from the audience in regard to this same ordinance was Mr.
Harold Alberts, Attorney, who expressed interest in the remarks of various members
of the Council. He pointed out that several legal errors had occurred in connection
with the ordinance granting the lease and elaborated on these. Mr. Alberts also
referred to the Attorney General's opinion which contained the statement that, "We
caution, however, that no specific lease has been presented to us, and we do not
pass on whether a particular lease might not present entanglement problems." Mr.
Alberts concluded his remarks by urging that this Council not vote on the second
reading of this ordinance but leave the matter to the succeeding Council, pointing
out that the community has been unnecessarily stirred up by this matter.
Council Member Diaz stated that he feels an obligation to go ahead with the
procedure for installation of the statue because for years the City has been approached
with ideas for the erection of some type of symbol commemorating the name of the City,
and this issue has always been avoided. He expressed the opinion that someone must
test the constitutionality of the matter, and he feels that this Council should do so
now and not continue to evade the issue. He also pointed out that the incoming Council
will make the final decision because they will be confronted with the third reading
of the ordinance.
Speaking in favor of the passage of the subject ordinance was Mrs. Marco
Eugenio, who stated that she did not feel that the Council has acted hastily in this
matter. Mrs. Eugenio also took exception to previous remarks made by Mr. Alberts
in which he referred to Dr. Sherman Coleman, the artist who volunteered his services
es
Rtyular Council Meeting

Page 17
to sculpt the statue, as an amateur artist. Mrs. Eugenio explained that Dr. Coleman
is an extremely talented artist; that he is a dedicated citizen of this City who has
offered to donate his time and talent for the beautification of the City; and enumer-
ated the many other works of art that he has sculpted for this City, County and within
the State. Mrs. Eugenio stated that if the Council has made mistakes in handling the
mechanics of the lease under discussion, it should be rememberedthatthey are human
beings who can make mistakes; they are not professionals but are volunteers who are
trying to serve their community; and she then objected to one person repeatedly coming
before the Council to point out minor mistakes that have been made in handling the
ordinance granting the lease for the erection of the statue. Mrs. Eugenio explained
that the statue will be used as a commemoration of the name of this City; there is
no image of Christ; the traditional image of Christ as an historical figure is the
one the artist will sculpt as depicting the name "Corpus Christi" which translates
to "body of Christ." Mrs. Eugenio expressed the opinion that only personal prejudice
is involved in the objections to this work of art.

Mr. Steven Fischer also expressed opposition to the erection of this statue
on public property, pointing out that a statue of Jesus Christ can only be inter-
preted es a symbol of Christianity, and he stated that he Is concerned primarily
with maintaining separation of church and state, which is guaranteed as a right of
the citizens of the United States.
Speaking in favor of the ordinance was Mrs. Dorothy Bourg Spann, who stated
that according to a definition of Christ that she had hoard from several sources,
Jesus Christ was on historical and political figure. Mrs. Spann stated that she
has no concern about the installation of such a statue, because of that definition.
The next citizen speaking In opposition to the Installation of the statue
was Mr, Clifford Cosgrove, 3320 Olsen, who stated that he believes In the Christian

religion but is opposed to the erection of a statue of Christ in the Bay or anywhere
else, because as he interprets the Bible, Christ repeatedly admonished his followers
against graven images. Mr. Cosgrove summarized his statements by indicating that he
felt that the installation of a statue of Christ would be in violation of the scrip-
ture of the Bible.
Mr. Bill Rankin, who stated that he is a professor and a practicing Christian,
expressed admiration of his Jewish brothers, but indicated that he is concerned with
this issue because It would be placed in the Bay and he felt that the Bay should be
left in its natural condition. He also stated that he is opposed to locating the
barge restaurants in the Bay, the location of the Yacht Club, and the other business
activity along the bayfront.
*City Manager Townsend explained to the Council that he had a flight reser-
vation shortly and requested that Assistant City Manager Archie N. Walker assume his
place during the remainder of the meeting and departed the meeting at 5:50 p.m.
Also expressing opposition to the erection of the statue in the Bay was Mr.
Jack Solka, 501 Bermuda, who requested that any further action be tabled by this
Council. Mr. Solka questioned the proposed five-year lease which he felt would be
inadequate for such an expensive work of art. He also stated that he understood
that a small plaque would be placed on the site disclaiming the intent of the City
of any religious purposes in allowing the erection of the statue of Christ. Mr.
Solka pointed out that such a small plaque could not be seen by many people.
Mrs. Shirley Horowitz, 325 Doddrldge, stated that although she is speaking
against the statue as a private citizen, many citizens have expressed their opposi-
tion to her. She stated that she feels that the public land belongs to all of the
citizens -- not just the Christian community. Mrs. Horowitz urged the Council delay
the second reading of the ordinance and allow the incoming new Council to deal with
the problem.
Council Member Diaz expressed the opinion that he would be negligent in his
duty to evade the issue when it has been presented to this Council.
Further discussion followed among the Council Members. Council Member Holt
stated that he had a previous commitment at 6:30 and would have to leave soon but
reaffirmed his statement made earlier by stating that he is not opposed to the

statue in the Bay; expressed the opinion that Dr. Coleman's work is outstanding; but
he just feels that the matter has not been handled properly and the City will lose
the lawsuit, which is his primary concern.
City Attorney Aycock explained the procedure followed in connection with the
installation of the statue and stated thatthere is always room for improvement in
the handling of any matter`,t'hb , t ndoes ot.feel that hisoffioe hat made any fatal
- �ub�•7r' t Rte, r-
errors. He exiilained'ehat•he,hodiprepai'ed,the ordinance' that•-was'before the Council
last week, as well as the motion-'to'amend which was presented' this week. Mr. Aycock
pointed out that in the publication following last week's reading of the ordinance,
it was clearly established that a tract on Sunfish Island was the proposed site for
the statue.
City Attorney Aycock then referred to the effort made to obtain an opinion
from the Attorney General and reminded the Council that documents were presented to
this state office that fully covered everything concerned with the matter. He
stated that Mr. Alberts could certainly have presented to the Attorney General the
same arguments that he has presented to the Council the past few weeks. Mr. Aycock
stated that the Attorney General stated in his opinion that property could be leased
for a religious statue. Mr. Aycock expressed the opinion that he did not think that
the preparation was so erroneous that the City would lose a lawsuit and he felt that
the question is whether or not there is deliberate intent of this Council to inten-
tionally show a religious preference.
"`Council Member Holt departed the meeting at 6:15 p.m.
Speaking in opposition to the statue was Ms. Helen Wilk, 260 Cape Aron, who

stated that the installation on public property is' an infr;ifigOriieit';oi'he'separation

years ago by,an explorer in an entirely different era and' climate; this'is a differ-
ent society; and there is no official religion in the United States. Ms. Wilk noted
that the Corpus Christi Cultural Council had offered to pay the City $50 per year for
a site to beautify the City and plan to install a statue on Sunfish Island. She then
made a firm offer of $100 per year for the same site, also to beautify the City, and
she planned to leave the island just as it is, which in her opinion, would be the best
way to beautify the City.

Assistant City Manager Walker noted that there is a need to approve several
motions to amend other ordinances prior to the voting on the ordinances and presented
to the Council motions to amend the Gault Aviation lease and the two leases on the
barge restaurants.
Motion by Juarez, seconded by Gulley and passed unanimously that the ordinance
authorizing a contract with Roger L. Gault d/b/a/ Gault Aviation, the County of Nueces,
State of Texas, read on the first reading on January 3, 1979 and as amended on its
second reading on February 21, 1979, be further amended prior to its third -reading
by providing the following changes in the lease:
1. By adding the following paragraphs to Article 111, Construction of
Hangars:
Gault will begin construction of an additional hangar, as noted above,
within one year of the date of the completion of the ramp extension by the City,
failing which hangar construction, this lease shall terminate on the 14th day of
July, 1990. Twelve months after date of the completion of the ramp extension by
the City, if Gault has not begun construction of an additional hangar as promised,
then Gault will pay as liquidated damages to the City the amount of money the City
paid towards construction of the ramp extension in front of the leased premises.
At Gault's option, liquidated damages may be paid in five equal annual installments
without interest with the first such installment to be due immediately.
Gault will also continue to pay ground rent on the space set aside
for the new hangar but not used for that purpose.
Also, in the event of such failure to construct the hangar within one
year as noted above, the City reserves the right to repossess the ground space not
used for the new hangar should another tenant be obtained for such property, in
which event Gault would stop paying ground rent and would not incur any further lia-
bility for unpaid installments on the ramp assessment.
2. Add the following language to the third paragraph on page 6 regarding
the fuel flowage fees being set by ordinance:
City will put this same clause in any renewal, amendment, or extension
of any other existing fixed base operator lease as well as any other new fixed base
operator lease.
3. Add a paragraph 10. on page 7 under Article VI to read as follows:
City reserves the right to change the base date of July, 1960 referred
to above in the event that the City makes the same change in any other existing or
new fixed base operator leases.
4. By inserting the word "ground" between the words "prevent" and "entry"
under Article XI, page 11, so that the first sentence of that paragraph shall
henceforth read:
Gault shall provide for the security of the air operations area to
prevent ground entry or movement'of unauthorized persons in accordance with
Section 9-32 of the City Code of Corpus Christi, Texas, and any regulations imposed
upon City by the Federal Aviation Administration.
