Hot Mix Corporation be accepted. On May 21, 1980, the City Council approved a contract with the developers for improvements at the park, not to exceed $45,287.

The park is along Rain Mist Lane at Moonglow Lane. The subdivision is located between I.H 37 and Leopard Street, east of Rand Morgan Road. 9. The following actions be taken regarding the contract for Various Water System Improvements Phase III: a. The project be accepted and payment of $48,354.52 be made to A & G Utility Company for a total of $500,464.71. b. $10,009.29 be retained due to uncompleted paving and fire hydrant removal work not yet performed by the contractor and the Director of Engineering be authorized to release these funds when the work is satisfactorily completed. c.

Hurricane Allen roof damage was not covered by insurance, but has been declared eligible as FEMA work, with the city paying 25% of the cost. Mayor Pro Tem Turner inquired about the planned improvements to the Bill Witt Park. City Manager Townsend replied that the City Staff has approved plans for a softball park. Minutes Regular Council Meeting May 20, 1981 Page 6 Council Member Zarsky inquired if there were plans for any Little League Parks and City Manager Townsend explained that they have not requested any space in the park as yet and indicated that the Little Leagues, Kickball Leagues, and Soccer Leagues should request space through the Park and Recreation Department. 14. $8,000,000 of remaining unsold general obligation bonds from the 1977 bond election and $25,000,000 of water revenue bonds be sold Wednesday, June 24, 1981 at 11:00 a.m. General Obligation Bonds: Sanitary Sewers $ 2,500,000 Park and Recreation 1,000,000 Public Buildings 1,120,000 Public Safety Buildings 580,000 Storm Sewers 800,000 Streets 2,000,000 Total- - - $ 8,000,000 Water Revenue Bonds $25,000,000 The water revenue bonds will be used for expansion of the O.

Turner Tool Joint Rebuilders Corporation on Up River Road off Hunter Road.

N s l r Council Meeting Ma, .0, 1981 Page 7 18. A hearing be held on May 27, 1981 on the appeal of Bay, Inc. on the plat of Industrial Heights, Section 2, Block 2, Lot 5. This plat was approved by the Planning Commission on January 20, 1981, subject to two conditions, neither of which are being appealed. The owner is appealing a requirement of the Platting Ordinance requiring all parties having an interest in the property to approve and sign the plat. The reason for the appeal is that the owner has been unable to obtain the approval and signatures from the owners of two pipeline easements which cross his property. One pipeline was recently relocated into the land now being dedicated for street right-of-way. 19. Consideration of a resolution recommended by the Bay Drilling Committee expressing the City's appreciation for the distinguished service of Mr. Edward H. Harte on the Bay Drilling Committee. Mr. Harte was appointed to the committee at the time of it's formation in 1965, was subsequently elected its' first chairman and has served continuously until his recent resignation. Mr. Harte's excellent leadership and participation were instrumental in drafting the Bay and Gulf Drilling Ordinances and initiating studies and plans which culminated in the creation of the Corpus Christi Area Oil Spill Control Association. 20. An engineering contract with Goldston Engineering, Inc., be approved for preparation of a study to determine the best practical methods of repairing the steel sheet pile bulkhead at the T -Heads and L -Head in the Marina and the feasible methods of constructing a new breakwater north of the Peoples Street T -Head. The total cost for the first design study phase is $25,000. This fee would be applied to further engineering design costs if additional work is authorized. 21. A change order for $29,048 be approved on the Airport Terminal Building project to relocate the existing sanitary sewer, water and gas lines so as not to interfere with the foundation of the baggaage claim and reloading areas. Council Member Gulley inquired whose responsibility it was to determine the loction of these lines. City Manager Townsend explained that the architects were supposed to do this but they had relied on the owner and the as -built plans did not correctly identify the location of the lines. He noted that other changes may be necessary in the future. Mayor Pro Tem Turner called for questions from the Council on the City Manager's Reports. Council Member Gulley asked about the estimated cost of the roof repairs at Bill Witt Park and City Manager Townsend replied that the estimated cost would be $23,000. Council Member Kennedy inquired about the planned use of the hangar and City Manager Townsend assured the Council that it would definitely be utilized as the key indoor facility. Mayor Pro Tem Turner called for comments from the audience on the City Manager's Reports. Minutes Regular Council Meeting May 20, 1981 Page 8 Mr. J. E. O'Brien, 4130 Pompano, speaking on behalf of the Corpus Christi Taxpayers' Association stated that he would like to caution the Council in regard to the sale of the proposed bonds because of the chaotic conditions that exist in the market. Mayor Pro Tem Turner asked City Manager Townsend to respond to Mr. O'Brien's remarks. City Manager Townsend agreed that the City can expect a higher interest rate than Lubbock, Texas recently received because they have a Double AA rating, which they were able to retain since they took their tax amendment to the Courts and were successful in having it declared unconstitutional. He pointed out that this City is in a different situation in that our bond rating has been adversely affected by the Charter Amendment which was approved in April of 1980, which limits the percentage of taxes this City can levy. He also pointed out that no one in the market business forecasts that the market will be any more favorable in the near future. Council Member Gulley reminded the City Manager that he had asked for a comparison of tax rate of various Cities from Texas Municipal League and City Manager Townsend assured him that he will have a report next week. Motion by Zarsky that the City Manager's Reports, items 1 through 21, be approved; seconded by Hawkins; and passed unanimously. Motion by Gulley that Mayor Luther Jones and Council Member Jack Dumphy, who are out of the City on business, be excused for just cause; seconded by Kennedy; and passed unanimously. City Manager Townsend referred to item J., which was a public hearing on the request of Nueces Development Company to amend the Master Drainage Plan as it pertains to the proposed River Canyon subdivision on Teague Lane near Calallen Drive. He informed the Council that this matter had been resolved between the Nueces Development Company and the City Staff and it was no longer necessary to conduct the public hearing. ********** Motion by Zarsky that the Regular Council be recessed at 3:30 p.m. in order to convene the Special Council Meeting to consider zoning applications; seconded by Gulley; and passed unanimously. • 1 es ar Council Meeting h,.., 20, 1981 Page 9 ******** Mayor Pro Tem Turner reconvened the Regular Council Meeting at 5:10 p.m. and called for the ordinances. City Manager Townsend briefly explained the ordinances on the agenda. Council Member Gulley referred to the ordinance listed as 13 in regard to the authoriziation of eminent domain proceedings and stated that he would like to go on record as being opposed to such proceedings, particularly, since the amount the City plans to pay is less than the appraised value of the property. City Manager Townsend explained that this is a very rare situation and this tract of land is in a deteriorating area. Council Member Gulley again stated that it bothers him that the offer made to the owner is apparently $7,000 less than the City's Tax Department has valued it. He expressed the opinion that the City will lose this case. Council Member Hawkins concurred with Mr. Gulley's remarks and stated that Mr. David Coover, the attorney for the property owner, will probably win this case. Council Member Gulley pointed out that it is possible that Mr. Coover will introduce the fact that the City's assessment is greater than the appraisal. City Manager Townsend reminded the Council that this project has been held up for nearly two years but the Staff will attempt to go back and appraise this situation. He noted that one of the houses involved encroaches three feet into the right-of-way and it will be impossible to build a sidewalk there. There were no further comments on the ordinances; Acting Assistant City Secretary Zahn called for the vote on the ordinances; and the following ordinances were passed: FIRST READING: AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT AGREEMENT WITH COASTAL IRON WORKS, INC.

Sampson displayed an advertisement of the "Black Beauty Pageant" to be sponsored by HIALCO-OIC which will be conducted June 6, 1981, at the Bayfront Plaza Auditorium and urged as many Council Members as possible to attend. He stated that Council Member Hawkins will crown the new queen. Mr. Jack Graham, Representative of the Greater Northwest Business Association, referred to discussion of the new proposed northwest library and stated that he understood that this was discussed during the Workshop conducted in Port Aransas recently. He mentioned the fact that Council Member Gulley, at that time, had proposed consideration of locating the northwest library at the Old Hilltop Hospital rather than on the land which was purchased for the library. He stated that his organization is very much in favor of having the library located on the land that was purchased for this purpose. Speaking on the same subject was Mr. W. E. Webb, 825 Wildwood, who also stated that they feel that the site should be on the land which was purchased rather than at the Hilltop Hospital. Mr. Webb urged that the bonds be sold as soon as possible so that this project can become a reality. Mayor Pro Tem Turner informed Mr. Graham and Mr. Webb that the Council, today, authorized the sale of bonds for this and other projects. Council Member Gulley brought up a matter that concerned him stating that he has spent some time at the airport recently and referred to the new unauthorized limousine service. He mentioned the fact that one company already has a franchise to provide limousine service for the City but this particular company, whose headquarters are in Austin, is operating without a franchise. He explained that the new company has been advertising free limousine service in most of the hotel lobbies and, if this is illegal, they should not be allowed to do this. City Manager Townsend assured the Council that the Staff is working on this and if the practice has not be eliminated by next week, the Staff plans to have someone go out to the airport and arrest the participants. He explained, however, that they need to apprehend them when they are actually doing something illegal and the Staff needs to have an injunction ready to be filed. ? ,s ar Council Meeting Ma, 20, 1981 Page 15 Council Member Gulley requested that the Council be provided with a report on this matter by next Wednesday. Mayor Pro Tem Turner referred to a letter addressed to the City Council from Mr. J. W. Gary, Attorney for the Airport -Hilton Inn expressing opposition to the City's proposal to issue tax exempt bonds for the construction of a Holiday Inn on Leopard Street and Padre Island Drive. Mr. Gary indicated in his letter that he was of the opinion that the proposed hotel would be in direct competition to the Airport -Hilton Inn, for which they had plans to expand with private funds. Council Member Gulley expressed the opinion that he also opposes such use of tax-exempt bonds. Mayor Pro Tem Turner suggested that this be considered next week. Motion by Zarsky that the Corpus Christi Industrial Development Board meet next week to reconsider the letter of inducement on the Holiday Inn project; seconded by Gulley; and passed unanimously. There being no further business to come before the Council, on motion by Gulley, seconded by Zarsky, and passed unanimously, the Regular Council Meeting was adjourned at 6:57 p.m., May 20, 1981.
