Meyer Janes ieforeed the City Manager that he had received a telephone call and
a tetter protesting the sa`.t of a1ccholic beverages in the Bayfront plaza Auditorium at
religious types of programs or programs designed for children.
City Manager Townsend explained that this decision is made by the tenant as to
whether or not alcoholic beverages are to be sold. He stated that the staff will check
this.
k. The two-year concession contract with Mr. John Nicholson be extended for
three months until October 31, 1980, for concession operation at the
Bayfront Plaza Auditorium. The extension will correspond with the date
of exptratier cf qr Ai# en`s -figuor license and the Coliseum concession
contract. The Auditorium, Coliseum and possibly Convention Center concessions
can then be coordinated. lir. Nicholson pays the City II% of gross sales on
all items sold such as drinks and food and 13% on the gross received from
subcontractors.
1. Exxon Corporation, be granted a surface lease for 2.07 acres at the 51 -acre
Laguea Madre Wastewater Plant. The site is 150 feet southwest of Webb
Street and 700 feet southeast of Jane Street and will be used to drill a
directional well with a bottoehole location under Laguna Madre. The lease
Will be for $8511 for the first year with an 8% per year escalation for up to
sixty years, Exxon is new drilling a well from this sane site under the
mineral reservation contained in the agreement when the City purchased
the plant site.
m. Hr. Richard E. Haas he granted permission to construct a mud reserve pit
for drilling a well in City Drilling Block 1174. The pit will be constructed
without excavation and leveled upon completion of drilling. The land owner
has granted permission. The area invoived is across Highway 44 frothe
Airport. m.
n. Rae The recommendation of the Day Drilling Committee be approved that the
nded to
of.wellsiing withindcF�tcrbareas. Drillingrify the locatiiionsearerements spacing
feet apart, and two wells at the same location are required to be ten feet
apart. The current ordinance is unclear in this regard even though the
above sparing has been the practice.
o• The recommendation of the Bay Drilling Cameittee be approved that the fee
for annual Inspection of oil and gas wells be Increased free $25 to SSD.
The present fee for wells an Land Has established In MB, and for wells
in bay waters in 1977. The Increase Is needed to offset the rising cost
of making inspections.
p. The requirement that existing water customers on Padre Island connect to
sewer Service be amended to exempt existing platted lots above the 100
year flood level. and to delete the requirement to connect to sewer after
five years even if it Fs more than 300 feet away. Some existing lots in
old subdivisions which are not in special Floyd hazard areas can be
developed to meet existing requirements for septic tanks and drain fields.
It seems reasonable to defer the requirement to connect to sewer until such
time as sewer is within 300 feat.

in regard to this item, Council Member Zersky questioned why the sewer charge
should he assessed on ail water that goes through a customer's meter, pointing out
that when citizens water their yards, their sewer service is not affected. He sug-
gested that something be done to correct this unfair charge, possibly basing the fee
for sewer service on winter consumption as the amount charged during the summer.
City Manager Townsend explained that the sewer charge i5 cased on a maximum
water usage of 15,000 gallons but agreed that it might be possible to work out some
solution to this charge and indicated that the staff wit) study this prablem.

1980-81 of $2.60 before adjustment for pressure differential and line
losses. The .1979-80 Budget assumed that rates would be increased when the

Mayor Jones inquired about the source of funds if the City has to operate the
abandoned car pound.

of the Police Department and funds would emanate from the General Fund, and eventually
the funds for the operation mould be derived from the fees charged for the service.

Council Member Best reminded the Caunctl that they voted several months ago to
have a Consent Agenda and pointed out that a considerable amount Of time had been spent
discussing the City Manager's Reports.
Council Member Turner moved that the Consent Agenda, as previously agreed upon,
be reinstated rather than having the City Manager explain all of the items on the City
Manager's Reports. The motion was seconded by Council Member Best.
Mayor Janes expressed the opinion that the brief descriptions on each Item are
very helpful to him.
Council Member Zarsky also agreed that he preferred to have the explanation from
the City Manager because even though the Council Members have an opportunity to read
the AgEnda an Friday evening, occasionally, matters of concern core to his attention
when it is actually being discussion by the City Manager during the Council Meeting.
As a solution, Mayor Jones suggested that the Agenda be arranged so that items that
are problematical be Ilsued tcgether and simple, routine items that need little expla-
nation be listed separately_

Motion by Turner that any item that Reeds explanation have a support memorandum
Sent to the Council oik Friday.
City Manager Townsend stated that he would certainly agree to that but pointed
out that this will result in many complaints From the Staff and particularly, from the
public if he cannot put any items on that really need to be acted on by the Council the
following Wednesday_
Mayor .tones reiterated that he preferred to have some discussion on all of the
items but agreed to have a Consent Agenda next week.
Council lieaber Zarsky inquired of the Council as to whether or not they agreed
with Mrs. Turner that noticing should ga on the Agenda unless a support memarandur,:was
sent to time on Friday.
Mrs. Turner explained that she would Tike to have more information included in
the packets that are sent to them on Friday and changed her notion slightly that It be
the policy that any items on the City Manager's Reports that require additional elabora-
tion (not consent items) include a memorandum of understanding in their Friday afternoon
package.
notion was seconded by Council Member Dunphy and passed unanimously.
Mayor Pro Tss Sample agreed that the information provided on Monday and Tuesday
should not be sent to the Council and Indicated that he also felt that any controversial
Items should have support material delivered to the Council on Friday.
Mrs. Leslie Garrett agreed with Council Member Zarsky's suggestion that the sewer
fee should not be based on water consumption. Mrs. Garrett also suggested that sludge
be sold again to generate more income for the City.
City Manager Townsend explained that the City does seri sludge but in a different
form that it was previously.
There were no further comments on the City Manager's Reports.

e e * : * s e _ *
Mayor Jones announced the public hearing on the following matter:
Asseessents for improvements along Lot 7A, Block i, Port Ayers Suburban Center.
The assessment totals $3,718.71 and is for improvements constructed as part of
the Port Avenue - Crosstown Expressway to Ayers Street improvement project. The
owner of the property was not notified of the previous hearing on the assessnents
because of an error in property description.
City Manager Townsend explained that the reason for this public hearing for one
property owner was because there was a change of ownership and the new owner, Mr. Leon
Loeb, Jr., was not notified of the public hearing on assessments.
Mr. James R. Lantos, Director of Engineering and Physical Development, explained
to the Council that his staff had made an error in not providing proper notice for this
particular owner. Mr. Lantos stated that their list was prepared In 1977 when the
project wes first considered and at that time, a different owner was listed for this
particular piece of property and the notice was sent to the previeus owner rather than
to Mr. Loeb. Me stated that Mr. Loeb has requested this hearing since he was not notified.
Mr. Lea. Loeb explained to the Council that this property was purchased by him
about two years before the City's notices of the assessment hearing were sent to the
property owners_ He stated also that this same thing had happened to him in connection
with a previous assessment hearing and expressed the opinion that it is really too late
for him to address this matter. He Suggested that to compensate for the fact that he
did not receive a notice of the public hearing on assessments, the City consider a revised
method of notifying property owners on matters that concern than.
Mr. Lontos explained to the Council that each department obtains the List of
property owners from the Tax Office and usually, this list is as up-to-date as possible;

edF1' �n.G.iim!nvKYa'�: Mho+nmY.tGa.:;
however, the particular problem here Involved in Hr. Loeb's case was that the list
was obtained approxiemstely two years before the project was actually started for the
presentatitxr, made by the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation. He
admitted that his Staff just made a mistake by not rotSfying lir. Loeb and by not updating
their list.
City .Manager Townsend informed the Council that the tax roils are not always
current; the system is designed to Fist the property owners as of January 1st of any
given year; and there is really no method to bring the list up-to-date. He agreed
that occasionally seine mistakes are made.
Council Member Turner stated that obviously the system is net satisfactory and ..
there should be some effort made to obtain more current lists of property owners
involved in City matters.
City Manager Townsend further explained that frequently the name of the person
paying taxes on a particular piece of property Is quite removed from the concerned
property owner, nentionining in particular, that several banks handle the payment of
taxes for people and the property owners do not inform the bank when they move, there-
fore, even those persons who pay taxes on the property do not have the correct mailing
address of the attual property owner.
Hr. Loeb suggested that since an error had been made in his case that he be given
some consideration in regard to his assessment on the property.
Mr. Lontos stated that his Staff does not recommend any reduction on Mr. Loeb's
property.
No one else spoke in regard to this matter.

not scheduled on the Agenda.
Ir. Charles Acklen, 37 North Country Ciub, a member of the Board of Directors of
the Coastal hand halfway Nouse for Alcoholics, referred to a request preyfously made
for $25,000 for this organization, and stated that they are attempting to set up work
programs and they would like to revise their request to ask the Council to provide
S2.000 so that they can obtain tools and the necessary liability insurance for ten
men to work to help with the expenses for the ruse. He requested that this item be
placed on the Agenda for consideration.
City Manager Towtssend noted that $10.000 was provided in the budget for the
coastal Bend Halfway House in August, 1978. He pointed out that this request may be
funded from the current year's budget because next year, there will not be an appro-
priation. He stated that it would be possible for the Ceunel1 to direct the Staff to
amend the previous contract to increase the amount by S2,000. Mr. Acklen further
explained that he had discussed this matter with the Neighborhood improvement Division
and they have agreed that the men who are residents of the Nouse could work through
that-Depar-tment peuei' ed i -als&I-i.sy—l-n-sepaaeo- is in cffeee,--
After further discussion, a motion was made by Council Member Zarsky that $2,000
be advanced on the basis of a contract between the City and Coastal Bend Halfway House
for Alcoholics for services that they are capable of performing and that this money be
made available to them immediately. The motion was seconded by Council Member Best and
passed unanimously.
Mayor .Tones pointed out to Mr. Fickler that the City may be unable to provide
$25,000 in funds for this organization in next year's budget and Mr. Acklen explained
that he feels that their plan and the immediate $2,000 funding might help them meet
E
th expenses -without having to ask for funds from the City out of next year's budge`-•,
