Mayor Jones announced the bid openings on the following two engineering
projects:
1. Construction of Cain Drive from South Staples Street to Everhart
Road. This is a 1977 bond project which includes sidewalks, curbs,
gutters, paving and storm sewers within the Gardendale Subdivision.
Assistant City Manager James K. Lontos opened bids on this project from
the following companies: King Construction Company, Heldenfels Brothers,
Asphalt Concrete Paving, Isles Construction Co., Inc. and Asphalt Paving &
Construction Company. Mr. Lontos verified that the necessary bid security
bonds had been submitted with each bid.
2. Construction of protective structures for the 48" waterline crossing at
the Hearn Road drainage ditch. The waterline will be supported on
pilings. Approximately 200' of concrete channel liner will be installed
upstream to control the angle at which the water flow strikes the
line. Since the line protection was damaged during Hurricane Allen, a
grant -in -lieu request has been submitted to the Federal Emergency
Management Agency for 75% of the cost of repairs.
Assistant City Manager Lontos then opened bids on this project from the
following companies: Maverick Construction; R. S. Black; and Heldenfels
Brothers, noting that they had submitted the required bid security bonds with
their bids.
Mayor Jones thanked the bidders who had submitted bids and stated that
they would be tabled for 48 hours, pursuant to the requirements of the City
Charter, and referred to the Staff for tabulation and recommendation.
Motion by Zarsky that Mayor Pro Tem Betty Turner and Council Members
Jack Dumphy and Bob Gulley, who are out of the City, be excused for just
cause; seconded by Hawkins; and passed unanimously.

Mayor Jones then called for confirmation of actions taken during the
Workshop Meeting of June 3, 1981 as follows:
1. The recommendation of the Municipal Arts Commission be approved
that $2,500 be provided out of the Tourist and Convention Fund to
assist in programming activities for Black Awarness Day. The $2,500
would come from the $50,000 allocated in the Fund's reserve for art
related matters.
Motion by Zarsky that the foregoing recommendation be approved,
seconded by Hawkins and passed unanimously.

2. Decline the offer of Corpus Christi National Bank to donate the sign
which was on their building to the City for the Airport or some other
use.
Mayor Jones thanked Mr. John Garner, who was present in the audience,
for the generous offer but explained that the City had decided that the sign
was not suitable for International Airport.
Motion by Hawkins to approve this item, seconded by Zarsky, and passed
unanimously.
Mayor Jones called for the City Manager's Reports. City Manager
Townsend presented the following items with related comments and explanations
and recommended that:
1. Bids be received June 23, 1981, for twelve months supply of
approximately 675 50 -yard rolls of reflective sheeting, 125 50 -yard

adhesive for the making of traffic and street name signs.
2. Bids be received June 23, 1981, for 1330 feet of polyethylene pipe
with installation for sliplining the water line at the Oso Bridge
crossing of South Padre Island Drive. The line is badly deteriorated
and has had 8 leaks over the last 3 years. The line serves as an
alternate supply for the Naval Air Station.
3. Twelve months supply of sewer pipe and fittings be awarded based on
low bid:
Can -Tex Industries, Inc., Mineral Wells, Texas:
59,000' of 4" - 12" clay sewer pipe $69,479.17

Two bids were received. Prices have increased 5% from last year's
contract.
4. A contract be awarded to Coastal A. D. S., Inc., Corpus Christi, for
installing 3,488 square feet of acoustical ceiling in Corpus Christi
Museum for $5,800 on the basis of low bid. Three bids were
received. This will complete the installation of ceiling in the exhibit
space in the north building which was approved in the 1977 bond
election.
5. The proposal of Corpus Christi National Bank to be the City
Depository for two years be accepted. Two proposals were received.
Corpus Christi National Bank's bid provides higher interest rates for
time deposits of $100,000 or more and a higher yield on repurchase
agreements.
6. A contract be awarded to Backhoe Lease Service for $52,920.20 for
Gaines Street - Eldon Drive Drainage Improvements and $60,000 be

of $48,000 is needed for the contract award and related expenses.
8. An additional appropriation be made for quantity overruns on the
Airport Drainage Ditch contract which has been completed by R. S.
Black. During construction, an additional 125 square yards of
concrete channel liner was required, and an additional $9,348.57 is
necessary to close the project. The additional concrete totals
$2,582.40, and $6,766.17 is necessary to cover an insufficient
appropriation for a change order which provided for additional fill
material. All improvements are completed and the project has been
accepted by the City.
9. $901.03 be appropriated to supplement funds previously appropriated
to provide the correct payment for Parcel "C" of the recently
approved Sitterle and Companies agreement relative to construction of
a portion of the West Oso drainage channel. The agreement provided
for the City paying Sitterle $]0,239 per acre for parcel "C" for
approximately 1.472 acres. Final descriptions indicate the actual size
to be 1.560 acres or .088 additional acres.
10. $1,001 be appropriated for the Parking Lot and Access Road Project
at the Airport to reimburse the contractor, M & M Construction
Company, for additional electrical work as a result of damage to an
underground duct which was not sufficiently deep to clear
construction. "As built" drawings showed the duct to be 27" deep
but it was only 18" deep.
11. The final assessment roll for Segrest Area Street Improvemepts be
adopted with assessments of $262,497.07 on 308 items. This project
has been completed at a cost of $1,466,152.92 and was accepted on
May 27, 1981. The final assessment roll shows an increase of
$2,530.95 due to driveway changes requested by abutting property
owners.
12. The recommendation of the Park Board be approved to renew the
lease with the Federal Aviation Administration for a 200 -foot by
200 -foot site at Evelyn Price Park, fronting on Gollihar Road, for an
airport surveillance radar station, at no cost to the federal
government. This radar system provides information to area traffic
control centers at International Airport and the Naval Air Station,
and is vital to safe operation of air traffic in and around Corpus
Christi. The lease will extend from July 1, 1981 through September
30, 1981 and be renewable on a year-to-year basis through September
30, 1991 at the option of the Federal government.

13. A lease to the Federal Aviation Agency for approximately one-fourth
acre in Overland Park for an outer runway marker and access road
be approved. The marker, which is fenced, has been at this site
since 1960 when the land was in private ownership. The Park and
Recreation Board recommends that the lease, which is renewable on a
year-to-year basis until September 30, 2000, be approved for 5
years.
14. A lease with the United States Weather Service for approximately
1,663 square feet on the second floor of the Tower Building at the
Airport be renewed from July 1, 1981 through September 30, 1981 and
thereafter on an annual basis at the option of the Weather Service
through September 30, 1986. The annual rent of $6,713.98 will be
paid at the rate of $559.50 per month.
15. An agreement be approved for future park dedication out of a future
unit in Breckenridge Subdivision. The subdivision is located south of
Saratoga Boulevard and west of Everhart. A final plat has been
submitted for the first two units of the 100 acre subdivision.
16. 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.

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

The agreement with Texas Governmental and Industrial Finance; Inc.,
to upgrade the existing data processing disk drives be terminated and
a new agreement to upgrade with a newer model drive be approved.
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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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. He stated that if the zoning
of "I-2" is approved, even more objectionable uses could be established in the
future. Mr. Roots urged that the special permit not be granted either.
Council Member Zarsky inquired of Mr. Roots if he felt that "B-4" zoning
would be more desirable than the recommended special permit pointing out that
that it is the existing zoning on this property. Mr. Roots stated that he felt
that "B-4" zoning would still be preferable because the large warehouses and
the large trucks that would be utilized with the proposed special permit would
1,e more objectionable.

Mayor Jones commented that Mr. McComb's business is associated with
North American Vanlines and asked Mr. McCombs to explain the procedure his
trucks follow when they arrive in the City.
Mr. McCombs stated that during the daytime, they report to him at his
location when they arrive in the City; they sometimes park in the parking lot of
his business if they arrive during the night; but ordinarily they stay at a
nearby motel until the office opens the following morning.
No one else spoke in regard to this application.
Motion by Zarsky that the hearing be closed, seconded by Kennedy, and
passed unanimously.
Mayor Jones indicated that he could not vote to approve either the "I-2"
zoning or the special permit as recommended by the Planning Commission and
suggested that unless the other Council Members plan to vote to deny this
application, possibly the matter should be tabled until a full Council is present.
Discussion followed in regard to their appropriate procedure.
Motion by Zarsky to reconsider his motion to close the hearing, seconded
by Kennedy and passed unanimously.
Motion by Zarsky that the hearing be tabled until next week, June 10,
seconded by Hawkins, and passed unanimously.
