The stenographic and secretarial position compensation series be revised to recognize market conditions and increased use of dictating and word processing equipment. All existing positions will be reviewed to verify job duties and abilities before a decision is reached as to the level of the replacement position and the compensation of the incumbent. Existing: Clerk -Stenographer -- Grade 12 Sr. Clerk -Stenographer 1 - Grade 14 Sr. Clerk -Stenographer II - Grade 16 Executive Secretary - Grade 18 Proposed: Clerk -Typist 111 - Grade 14 Stenographer - Grade 14 Secretary - Grade 16 Sr. Secretary - Grade 18 Executive Secretary - Grade 20 Council Member Zarsky inquired about the effect these changes will have on the budget. City Manager Townsend explained that a number of secretarial type positions had been vacant for some time; those positions would be filled at the new title; and because the positions have been vacant for such a long time, there are ample funds in salary balances. He stated that the new titles and salaries will be subject to review at the time the new budget is considered. 17. The position of Senior Legal Assistant, Grade 23, be added to the Legal Assistant position series to recognize the need for increased education and experience, and the Legal Department budget be amended to substitute a Senior Legal Assistant, Grade 23, for the budgeted position of Legal Assistant, Grade 18. City Manager Townsend informed the Council that the position listed above is much more than an office manager; the only similar positions are office manager or administrative assistant; the Staff feels that Senior Legal Assistant, Grade 23 more aptly describes the position in the Legal Department, and stated that this is a very important position in the City Attorney's Office. Minutes Regular Council Meeting June 3, 1981 Page 6 18. A revocable easement be granted to the developer of Breckenridge Subdivision permitting the installation and maintenance of a median island with a subdivision entrance sign. The easement would require the developer to maintain the island and sign and would further require removal in 5 years so that additional intersection capacity can then be created. The sign and island would be constructed on Sierra Blanca Boulevard at Everhart Road. The developer will indemnify the City from any liability resulting from the existence of the island and sign. 19. Contracts be approved with the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation for a program to measure skid resistance coefficients on 454 lane miles of major City streets. The project cost is $4,619 to be funded by the State Office of Traffic Safety. A similar project was conducted three years ago. Skid -resistance surfaces have since been added to some of the streets. This program will allow the skid -resistance coefficients of these streets to be measured to determine the durability of the skid -resistance and wearing qualities of the other surfaces. * 20. A $27,500 settlement be approved with Ms. Abigail H. Montes for personal injuries as a passenger on a City bus when it struck a drainage culvert on Sharpsburg Road on April 1, 1980. $1,753.47 has already been paid for part of her medical expenses. Her injuries included a dislocated right shoulder, and pain in her left knee, left hip, and lower back. She has a partial permanent disability. Council Member Kennedy suggested that this item be withdrawn until next week when more of the Council Members are present since he will have to abstain on voting on this item since he is involved in the incident. City Manager Townsend concurred but stated that he would like to have the other Council Members' tentative approval on this item so that the Staff could proceed with the settlement. The Council indicated their concurrence with this plan. * City Manager Townsend then withdrew item 20. 21. Bids be received at 11:00 a.m., June 24, 1981, for the following mowing equipment for the Park Department and Oso Golf Course: 2 tractor drawn 3 deck 15' rotary mowers; 3 self-propelled 72" rotary mowers; • 5 self-propelled 60" rotary mowers; 2 tractor drawn 60" weed cutters; I fairway mower; 1 - each greens mower. 22.

Delays in securing financing approval and changes in equipment market conditions have caused the contractor to fail to perform the original agreement. The City's acquisition of a new central processing unit compatible with the new model- disk drives_ will allow the contractor to perform its obligations at the same cost to the City $636-_ per month for 33 months. The new drives will increase storage capacity, reduce maintenance costs, reduce electricity consumption and require less space and Texas. Governmental and Industrial Finance, Inc. will pay $3,828.00 of maintenance cost which were the. result of the default on the original contract with this - company. Texas Governmental and Industrial_ Finance, -- Inc., will -pay- to the City $4,500 for sustaining high costs of maintaining service on one - IBM 3333, three IBM 3330 disk drives rather than on one IBM 3350 A2 and two IBM Model B disk drives, which equipment would have been furnished to the City by Texas Governmental and Industrial_ Finance, Inc., dated July 25, 1980. City Manager Townsend explained at length the reason for this change in the agreement with Texas Governmental and Industrial Finance, Inc. He noted_ that because of the timeframe, the City will have -to make payments for a longer period of time but the payments will be of a smaller amount. Council Member Kennedy inquired about the possibility of a cooperative effort between the County and City Data Processing Programming. City Manager Townsend stated that- this has been discussed butthe County is just beginning to -get into the computer system and there may not -be any interest in such an effort. - - 24. The date for the sale_ of $8,000,000 of general obligation bonds- and - $25,000,000 of water revenue bonds be changed from June 24, to July - 22, 1981. A detailed- review of the time schedule indicates—that- additional time will provide better support material and thus better bids. The bond market has stabilized somewhat and thus this rescheduling might also lower interest costs. No -pending construction - project will be affected by the proposed rescheduling. 25. A contract be awarded to Heldenfels Brothers, Inc:- for $695,877.00 for downtown landscaping and drainage improvements for which bids were received on April 29, 1981. The award would provide storm sewer from Water Street to Chaparral Street and full landscaping and intersection improvements on all six Chaparral Street locations. Storm sewer work in Williams, Lawnrence, Schatzell and Taylor Streets from Chaparral Street to Mesquite Street and landscaping work on six Mesquite Street intersections would not be done. • The storm sewer design was modified substantially due to the location of CP& L underground ducts, such that the storm sewer is more expensive than originally proposed. CP&L has indicated they will reimburse the City $25,716.00 for increased cost. Due to deletion of a substantial portion of storm sewer from the bid, the contractor has requested an additional $12,000.00 because of his overhead and_ profit spread on which he based his bid. It is recommended that the $12,000.00 be approved as Change Order Number 1, which would be included in the $695,877.00 award, and that $725,000.00 be appropriated, including related expenditures. 26. The contract be awarded to Goldston Corporation for $306,075 for 103 additional boat slips on the south end of the L -Head and $370,000 be appropriated including related expenses. The 1977 bond election Minutes Regular Council Meeting June 3, 1981 Page 8 provided for 70 slips as part of the $850,000 Marina segment of the $4,310,000 park bond election. If only 70 slips are constructed, the cost per slip will be approximately $3,800. The average cost drops to $3,500 if 103 are built. It is further recommended that the $120,000 difference be temporarily financed from the money set aside for dredging and be restored to the bond fund by transferring all new slip rental income to the bond fund until the $120,000 has been restored. 27. Proposals be received by 5:00 p.m., July 31, 1981 for construction of a high-rise hotel of at least 350 units to serve the Bayfront Plaza Convention Center. Proposals may consider the use of City -owned property on a long-term ground on air rights lease in accordance with Charter provisions relating to the Corpus Christi Central Improvement District. Other cooperative approaches will be considered -such as lease back or joint financing of parking facilities. All proposals must contain a construction completion timetable together with a performance security _ of 1% of total development cost. If no proposal_ is submitted by the deadline or if no proposal is accepted, additional -proposals will be considered thereafter. Mayor Jones ascertained that no one in the audience desired to speak in regard__to the. City Manager's Reports. -Motion by Kennedy that the City Manager's Reports, items 1 through 27, with --the exception of item 20, which was withdrawn, be approved; seconded by Hawkins ; - and --passed unanimously. -- - City -Manager -Townsend--referred - to item 20 in regard to the -proposed --settlement and _asked for . the_ Council Members' opinion of the -proposed settlement. -Mr. - John Bell, Assistant City Attorney, stated that this was a very bad case.- The lady who was injured has had extensive injuries and_ the Legal Department feels that this is a fair settlement. The Council Members indicated their concurrence in the proposed settlement. *J- ********* PENDING ZONING: _ Padre Space Corporation from - "R -1B" to "B-4" on a lot located on the west side of Clare Drive approximately 375' south of So. Padre Island .Drive. A public hearing was held on May 20, 1981 and it was denied. In lieu thereof, a special permit was granted for storage units. An acceptable site plan has been received. The Planning Commission recommends denial. - City Secretary Read pointed out that the full Council was not present, and since the Planning Commission recommended denial, four .Council Members cannot approve this special permit. *. City Manager Townsend then withdrew this pending zoning case. ********** rr�. mites .gular Council Meeting June 3, 1981 Page 9 Mayor Jones announced the public hearing on the following alley closing. Closing a 10 -foot by 64 -foot portion of an alley in Block 60, Bluff Portion. This portion was intended to be closed as part of the alley closing hearing on April 29, 1981, but was inadvertently omitted. The former Sears and Roebuck store on Leopard Sreet is built over most of the alley. City Manager Townsend explained this matter is on the agenda again for a public hearing because a small portion of the alley that is under the Sears Building was inadvertently omitted from the original description at the time the other public hearing was conducted. Mayor Jones determined that no one in the audience wished to speak on this matter. Motion by Zarsky that the hearing be closed, seconded by Kennedy, and passed unanimously. Motion by Kennedy that the 10 -foot by 64 -foot portion of an alley in Block 60, Bluff Portion be closed; , seconded by Hawkins; and passed unanimously. Mayor Jones mentioned the fact that the sprinkler system at the Oso Golf Course is in very bad condition. He noted that the City obtained funds from the sale of houses on the golf course and expressed the opinion that this money should be used to improve the golf course, and, he particularly recommended improvements to the sprinkler system. City Manager Townsend informed the Council that the Staff intends to make a recommendation that a consultant who is knowledgeable about sprinkler systems design a system for the Oso Golf Course. He agreed that the funds from the sale of property should be used for improvements to the golf course and they would recommend that the sprinkler system be improved. He stated that, hopefully, they would only have nine holes at a time that could not be used while this work is being done. Mayor Jones urged expediency in this matter and asked about an estimated timeframe. City Manger Townsend explained that the Staff is attempting to find the consultant who can design the sprinkler system and he hopes to have a recommendation on this in about four weeks. Minutes Regular Council Meeting June 3, 1981 Page 10 City Manager Townsend referred to the following item which was listed on the emergency posting that the Council had not had an opportunity to discuss during the morning Workshop Meeting -- discussion of police fact finding hearing regarding dependent health insurance benefits. City Manager Townsend informed the Council that negotiations will begin tomorrow on Police Collective Bargaining contract and the police are still urging that the City pay dependent health insurance benefits entirely for all of the police and fire personnel. He stated that he has alway been of the opinion that any policy approved through collective bargaining for firemen and police officers should also be provided for all City employees and if the City provides the cost of dependent insurance coverage for police officers and firemen, then he felt that all City employees should receive the same benefits and the cost would be exorbitant. Mayor Jones stated that he definitely thought that any benefits provided for Fire and Police should also be provided for all City employees. Council Member Zarsky indicated his concurrence with this position. Council Member Kennedy inquired if there is some type of hazardous duty that the Fire and Police must perform that would qualify them for extra benefits. City Manager Townsend informed him that the Firemen and Police Officers are paid with that understanding that their duties could be hazardous and they therefore, have higher salaries than any other comparable positions in the City. Council Member Hawkins pointed out that they are already the highest paid group in the City and he does not think they should receive additional benefits that other employees do not receive. City Manager Townsend reminded the Council that the City has already received petitions from the Fire and Police that may force an election either in August or November. Mayor Jones pointed out that there are no funds for 100% payment of dependent hospitalization coverage for Police and Fire. City Manager Townsend then presented the Council with a summary of the various bills under consideration in the State Legislature and the Council Members briefly discussed the various bills and the reasons they were either assed or failed. "inutes egular Council Meeting rune 3, 1981 Page 11 Mayor Jones announced public hearings on four zoning applications. City Manager Townsend the public hearing on Application No. 481-7, Mr. Jesus Alaniz, for a change of zoning from "R -1B" One -Family Dwelling District with "SP" Special Permit to "A-]" Apartment House District on Lots 23, 24 and 25, Block 12, La Pascua #2, located on the southeast corner of Villareal and Yolanda Drives. City Manager Townsend noted that the Planning Commission recommends denial and in lieu thereof that a special permit be approved for apartments subject to a satisfactory site plan and the Planning Staff recommends denial. He stated that there was no response to the notices of the public hearing. 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 the owner plans to build apartments on this property. He stated also that this applicant had previously obtained a special permit for the construction of a child care center but he has changed his mind and would like to build ten or more apartments. Council Member Hawkins inquired about the reason the Staff recommends denial and Mr. Wenger explained that the Staff is in opposition to this request on the basis that multi -family uses in the area are not appropriate, the most logical use being that of single-family dwellings. He also pointed out that two new houses have just recently been constructed in this neighborhood for single-family use. Mayor Jones commented that the City of Lubbock, Texas is doing everything possible to protect their residential areas, not only their Planning Commission, but also their City Council. He stated that he plans to vote to deny this application. Ms. Diana Rosas, of D. L. R. Enterprises, the building contractor, stated that she plans to do the work on these apartments. She pointed out that there are no apartments in the area; they have plans to construct a nice apartment complex; the neighbors do not object to this; and she displayed a plan of the proposed complex to the Council. She stated that the two bedroom apartments would rent for about $300 a month and there will be ten units on this site. i 1 Minutes Regular Council Meeting June 3, 1981 Page 12 No one else spoke in regard to this case. Motion by Zarsky that the hearing be closed, seconded by Hawkins, and passed unanimously. Council Member Zarsky made the observation that apparently this application could not possibly receive more than three affirmative votes and he moved to table this zoning application until next week. The motion was seconded by Hawkins and passed unanimously. ********* City Manager Townsend announced the public hearing on Application No. 481-9, Greenwood -Molina Nursery School, from "R -1B" One -family Dwelling District with "SP" Special Permit to "AB" Professional Office District on Lots 38, 39 and 40, Block 2, Washington Addition, located on the north side of National Drive, approximately 600' west of Columbia Street. City Manager Townsend pointed out to the Council that both the Planning Commission and the Planning Staff recommend denial of the "AB" zoning but in lieu thereof that a special permit be granted subject to the submission of a satisfactory site plan. Chief Planner Wenger briefly summarized this case and noted that no opposition was expressed. Motion by Hawkins that the hearing be closed, seconded by Zarsky and passed unanimously. Motion by Zarsky that the zoning of "AB" for Application No. 481-9 be denied but in lieu thereof, that a special permit be granted for the expansion of the day care center; seconded by Hawkins; and passed unanimously. City Manager Townsend announced the public hearing on Application No. 481-11, MO -MAC PROPERTIES, for a change of zoning from "B-4" General Business District to "I-2" Light Industrial District on Block B, Lexington, Village Unit 2, located on the east side of Richter Street, approximately 437' south of South Padre Island Drive. City Manager Townsend informed the Council that the Planning Commission recommends denial but in lieu thereof that a special permit be approved subject to a satisfactory site plan addressing the location of the building's ingress, egress, indirect lighting, signage, standard screening fence, and other amenities to preserve the nature of the one -family dwellings. He stated, also, lutes gular Council Meeting ,.ane 3, 1981 Page 13 that the Planning Staff recommends denial on the basis that the subject property is surrounded on three sides by residential development and because it could induce considerable truck traffic down Johanna Street, Sacky Drive, Milo and Richter Streets. He noted, also, that the Staff would oppose a special permit for the same reason. Mr. Townsend informed the Council that in response to the notices of the public hearing, a letter in opposition had been received from the Housing Authority which owns extensive land directly adjacent to this tract, and one i other letter in opposition which was sufficient to invoke the 20% rule. He informed the Council that a site plan for use of the property has been approved by the Planning Commission. Chief Planner Wenger located the area on the zoning and land use map, described the land use in the surrounding area, and showed slides of the area. Mayor Jones called on the applicant to speak. Mr. Joe A. McComb, one of the owners of the company, stated that they • had requested the "I-2" zoning so that mini -warehouses could be constructed and they also wanted to locate their moving storage facility on this property. Mr. McComb expressed the opinion that this would be an asset to the community because they would clean up the property, which is in bad condition right now. He stated that at the time he purchased this property, he did so with the understanding that "B-4" zoning would be adequate for his use but later discovered that the kind of use he planned for the tract required "I-2" zoning. Mr. McComb indicated that a special permit as recommended by the Planning Commission would be satisfactory. Council Member Hawkins asked for an explanation of the traffic pattern for the trucks associated with his business and Mr. McComb stated that they will exit this property on Richter Street to South Padre Island Drive access road. • Mr. McComb also pointed out that there is already in existence "1-2" zoning on City property that is located in this vicinity. City Manager Townsend agreed that the zoning is "I-2" but the City has installed a park on that property to provide a buffer between the City's service center and the residential area. Minutes Regular Council Meeting June 3, 1981 Pagel 14 Speaking in opposition to this application was Mr. Noe Morin, 2545 Johanna Street. Mr. Morin explained that most of the people who reside in this neighborhood are minorities and they enjoy the park that is located on the "I-2" zoned property because it acts as a buffer between the City's service center and the residential property. He pointed out that if this zoning is approved or a special permit is granted, extensive traffic with eighteen wheelers will be entering this area at all times of the day and night. He stated that they already have a very bad traffic problem on Richter Street and Johanna Street because there is so little access to this particular property. He mentioned the possibility that if large trucks are parked on Richter Street, it would be impossible for emergency vehicles to enter this residential area. He expressed the opinion that this business would destroy their community life. Mr. Morin stated that he did not object to the mini -storage warehouses but he did object to the heavy industry that would be allowed under "I-2" zoning or the moving business for which the Planning Commission recommended the special permit. Council Member Zarsky asked Mr. Morin for an explanation of how the traffic affects his neighborhood and Mr. Morin stated that trucks go through his area all of the time and the streets are being destroyed by the heavy truck traffic. City Manager Townsend agreed that the traffic is quite heavy in this residential area and there are a large number of trucks going down the residential streets to gain access to Padre Island Drive. Mr. Orby Roots, Chairman of the Housing Authority, expressed that entity's opposition to the change of zoning to "I-2" as well as the special permit as recommended by the Planning Commission. Mr. Roots explained that they feel that the proposed use is incompatible with the use of their property and is incompatible with the private housing in the area.
