the Committee of 16 and expressed his gratitude for their willingness to serve.
Mayor Jones added that he felt the Committee has an obligation to represent the
entire community and feels certain this will be accomplished; mentioned that
there were a number of people who had expressed their willingness to serve but
unfortunately, the number on the Committee was limited and asked members of
the Council if they wished to comment on this.
Council Member Kennedy addressed himself to the Committee stating that
the job that the Committee has accepted is open to a large amount of criticism
but that he would like to add that he appreciates their willingness to serve, the
efforts the Committee will be undertaking, and that his prayers are with them.

present.
Mayor Luther Jones next gave special recognition of prior Council Members'
service to the following and presented them with a plaque: Mr. Edward L.
Sample, Dr. Jack K. Best, Judge David Diaz and Mr. Leopoldo Luna.
Mr. Edward L. Sample thanked the citizens of Corpus Christi for offering
him the opportunity to serve as Council Member from 1975 through 1979 and as
Mayor Pro Tem from 1979 through April, 1981.
City Manager Townsend called attention to Mr. Carl Young, an employee of
the City of Corpus Christi - Nueces County Department of Health and Welfare
who has been vitally interested in First Aid and Emergency Medical Services for
40 years; mentioned that Mr. Young has written a text book on emergency care
and his activities with other organizations in the City devoted to first aid;
added that Mr. Young brings credit to both the department of Health and
Welfare and the City for his activities in first aid, life saving and emergency
care; and has really brought about the improvements of the ambulance service.
Mayor Jones then presented Mr. Young with a resolution commending him
for his outstanding service to the community for 40 years as a voluntary Red
Cross instructor for swimming, lifesaving, first aid, accident prevention, cardio-pulmonar;
resuscitation, and for setting an outstanding example and exerting a positive
influence on many Corpus Christi citizens who participated in the instruction
program under his supervision.
Motion by Zarsky that the Minutes of the Regular and Special Council
Meetings of June 10, 1981 be approved; seconded by Gulley; and passed unanimously.
Mayor Jones called for confirmation of actions taken during the Workshop
Meeting of June 24, 1981 as follow:
1. Approval of Police Collective Bargaining proposal.
Motion by Turner that the foregoing action be confirmed, seconded by
Gulley, and passed unanimously.

Mayor Jones announced that motion was made during the morning Workshop
meeting to be confirmed during the Regular Council Meeting that the City
provide funds for staff support for the Hilltop Community Center not to exceed
an annual cost to the City of more than $10,000 and that this be made part of
the budget.
Motion by Turner that the foregoing action be confirmed, seconded by
Kennedy, and passed unanimously.
Mayor Jones announced the public hearing on the following matter:
1. Requested change in the Master Storm Sewer Plan in the vicinity of
Bear Lane and South Padre Island Drive. Developers of two
industrial subdivisions have offered to dedicate 100' drainage
rights-of-way through the platting process to facilitate land
development.
Mr. James K. Lontos, Assistant City Manager, presented the Council with
some background information regarding the St. Clair Industrial and Caji
Industrial Subdivisions and referred to transparencies on same, stating that
both of these plats proposed the dedication of 100' drainage right-of-way and
that the dedication primarily involved the St. Clair Tract, but the offer of
dedication through the Caji Subdivision provided a route for the St. Clair
property drainage. Mr. Lontos stated that it appears to be in the public
interest to accept the right-of-way as a modification to the master plan because
basically no water was being drained to the Bear Lane ditch from properties
other than the Caji Tract between Heinsohn Road and South Padre Island. Mr.
Lontos further stated that in reviewing the total drainage area involved, it
appears that to amend the master plan to bring all of the water from this area
into Bear Lane ditch would require from 115 to 120' right-of-way so that
adequate maintenance room could be provided on either side of the drainage
channel and that any change in the master drainage plan should reflect the fact
that Industrial Technology Park now drains to the Bear Lane ditch in lieu of
draining to Old Brownsville Road as currently shown on the master plan.
Mayor Jones called for anyone in the audience wishing to address this
matter.

Mr. Herman Waters, Jr., Attorney from Austin representing Mrs. Johns
who owns a tract immediately to the north of the Sinclair Tract, stated that he
had just been made aware of the situation involved regarding the master change
plan; is of the opinion that what is being proposed is going to be devasting to
Mrs. Johns' property and she is very concerned in that this drainage ditch
proposed will cut her property down the middle into four tracts making it
highly expensive to develop; explained that he is really unprepared at this time
to offer an alternative solution to the problem; and urged the Council not to
make a decision but rather allow them time for a possible solution.
Mayor Jones ascertained that the applicant was not present.
Mr. Wayne Lundquist, representing Mr. I. W. Hick, addressed the Council
at this time stating that Mr. Hick bought the Sinclair property two months ago,
and at that time, the City was talking about an 80' drainage right-of-way, and
now they are requesting a 125' drainage right-of-way.
Further discussion followed.
Motion by Hawkins that this item be tabled for not more than two weeks to
allow Mr. Waters a chance to review, work with the engineering department and
come forth with an alternative solution, seconded by Kennedy and passed by
the following vote: Jones, Turner, Dumphy, Hawkins, Kennedy, and Zarsky
voting, "Aye"; Gulley, absent at the time the vote was taken.
Mayor Jones then called for the public hearing on the following matter:
Requested deletion of sidewalks on the west side of Meuly from Ruth to
Mary Streets. Due to the various businesses fronting on Port Avenue and
backing onto Meuly Street, many cars would tend to block the sidewalk at
driveways and garage door openings. The sidewalks are currently under
contract as part of the Lamar School Area Street Improvments, Unit II
Project.
City Manager Townsend explained that this is a request originating from
the staff which felt that since all property between Meuly and Port Avenue is
business property having access to their business from the back the sidewalks
along the west would not be justified and appears to be impractical.
Mayor Jones ascertained that there was no one in the audience who wished
to speak in regard to this matter.

Council Member Kennedy inquired if this was the first time this matter had
been discussed.
Acting Director of Engineering and Physical Development Gerald Smith
replied that a paving assessment hearing had been held before the last Council
in regard to this project.
City Manager Townsend asked Assistant City Manager James K. Lontos,
P.E., to summarize.
Assistant City Manager Lontos referred to a transparency of the area
involved and gave a brief explanation adding that it is the staff's opinion that
insofar as there is no residential development on the west side of the street and
that a sidewalk would be present on the east residential side, there would be
very little, if any, use for a sidewalk on the street's west side, and with the
frequency of truck traffic, discouragement of pedestrian traffic through
elimination of the sidewalk, might be in the safest interest of the neighborhood.
City Manager Townsend suggested that since there did not seem to be any
one in the audience present to speak on this matter, he would recommend that
this item be tabled until next week.
Motion by Turner that this item be tabled for one week; seconded by
Kennedy.
Council Member. Hawkins expressed concern since this is not a request by
the property owners in the area.
Mayor Pro Tem Turner inquired as to how and what date the property
owners were notified.
Acting Director Gerald Smith replied that the Engineering Department has
the names and addresses on the assessment roll and assured Mayor Pro Tem
Turner that notices were mailed to property owners on both sides of the street.
Mayor Pro Tem Turner then requested that a copy of this list be provided
her and Mr. Smith assured her that this could be done.
Mayor Jones called for the vote on the motion and it passed by the
following vote: Jones, Turner, Dumphy, Gulley and Hawkins voting, "Aye";
Kennedy, "no", and Zarsky, absent at the time the vote was taken.

Mayor Jones called for the City Manager's Reports. City Manager
Townsend briefly explained the City Manager's Reports and recommended that:
1. Bids be received July 14, 1981, for twelve months supply for
approximately 1,176 flashlights, 48 lanterns, 30,758 batteries and
2,200 bulbs for various activities.
2. Bids be received July 14, 1981 for twelve months supply or approx-
imately 121 drill bits, plugs and holders, 16 flanging tools, and 24
caulking tools for the Water Division.
3. Bids be received July 21, 1981, for twelve months supply or 1,850
meter boxes and lids, 600 extensions, 845 valve box lids, 110 manhole
rings and covers, and 10 frames and grates for the Water, Gas,
Wastewater and Street Divisions.
4. Bids be received July 21, 1981, for a Class A triple combination 1000
gallon per minute pumper for the Fire Department to replace a 1956
model.
5. Twelve month supply agreement for chain, hooks and shuts, rope,
wire rope and guy wire, and wire rope clips be awarded to the
following firms:
Stone Company, Corpus Christi:
2,000' of Chain and 617 Hooks and Shuts $ 3,965.03 •
American Cotton Yarns, Westmont, I11.
930 pounds of Manila Rope $ 1,146.30
E. L. Bearden Company, Corpus Christi
14,350' of Wire Rope and Guy Wire
and 272 Rope Clips $ 6,087.23
Grand Total - $11,198.56
The apparent low bid of $347.26 by Alamo Iron Works, Corpus
Christi, on the wire clips is not recommended because it is only
$47.15 less than the bid of E. L. Bearden Company. Alamo Iron
Works' bid is subject to fluctuation whereas the Bearden Company bid
is firm and also, the small difference is not worth administering as a
separate contract. Four bids were received. Price comparison shows
an increase of 46% since August, 1979.
6. Annual supply contracts be awarded to the following firms for plastic
pipe and fittings and related solvent and cement for the Water and
Park Divisions on the basis of low bid:
Texas Turf Supply, San Antonio
39,000' of 1/2" to 6" plastic pipe
Cross B Company, San Antonio
4,100 - 1/2" to 6" plastic fittings
275 gallons of solvent and cement
$11,694.40
$ 2,808.67
$ 1,170.96
Subtotal - - $ 3,979.63
Total - - - - $15,674.03
Five bids were received. Prices are subject to fluctuation. The firm
price bids of $5,739.11 and $1,405.91 by Coastal Bend Pipe and
Supply, Sinton, on the fittings, solvent and cement are not
recommended because they are 80% more than the low bids subject to
fluctuation. Price comparison shows an increase of 1%.

7. A replacement 4 wheel drive diesel -powered truck chassis, (factory
demonstrator) with new 12' - 15' backhoe and backfill blade for the
Water Division be purchased from Knauz Continental Autos, Inc. of
Lake Forest, Illinois based on their low bid of $39,500. Price
comparison shows a 34% decrease over a previous rejected bid for new
equipment. The truck chassis has low mileage and engine running
time with a 30 day warranty with service available locally. Two bids
were received. The unit being replaced is a 1976 model with over
96,000 miles.
8. Arturo Vasquez & Co.'s proposal to audit five Criminal Justice
Division grants for a fee not to exceed $2,500 be accepted. The
grants are as follows:
Grant: Amount:
Organized Crime Control 3/1/79 - 2/8/80 $86,356
Narcotics Task Force 1/1/80 - 12/31/80 84,672
Police Psychological Assistance 2/1/79 - 1/31/80 23,023
Purchase of Time Recorder,
Tape Reproducer and Selector 3/1/79 - 10/31/80 3,859
Purchase of 4 portable
surveillance radios 3/1/79 - 2/8/80 16,877
9. The Calallen Independent School District CETA Title II -D Public
Service Employment Contract be modified by increasing the current
contract of $5,200 by $1,200 to a new level of $6,400. The $1,200
will be for wages and fringes for a CETA employee for June and
July. The additional monies will allow the School District to continue
employment of the CETA participant through July 17th at which time
the employee will be transitioned to the School District's payroll.
10. The recommendation of the Airport Advisory Board be approved that •
the City Code be amended to change the minimum altitude for
rotorcraft from 1,000 to 500 feet. The use of helicopters in and
about the City has increased to the extent that control problems are
being experienced due to the altitude requirement. Lowering the
altitude to 500 feet will be consistent with the Navy aircraft control
practices which seek to keep helicopters at 500 feet to avoid
interference with approaching flight paths. The Federal Aviation"
Administration does not require any specific altitude for rotorcraft
operating over built-up areas. Most of the routes used by
helicopters in and out of Corpus Christi International Airport are
over sparsely settled areas. The Naval Air Station recommends this
change.
11. An amendment to the Step 1 Planning Grant for the Allison Wastewater
Treatment Plant be submitted to the Texas Department of Water
Resources for development of an industrial waste pretreatment
program as required for federal construction grants. Industrial waste
sampling and public participation segments of the planning are
estimated at $10,000 of which EPA will pay 75%. It is further
recommended that a proposal by Raba-Kistner Consultants, Inc. for
laboratory analyses of industrial pollutants ($7,056) be accepted an
appropriation of $10,000 be approved for this work and related
expenses.
12. Swaco Street located north of Saratoga and east of Greenwood Drive
be closed and agreements relating to future construction obligations
and dedications be approved with the KO -MAC Corporation, owner of
Lot 1, SWACO Tract and F & D Investments, owner of the abutting
13.87 -acre tract. The KO -MAC Corporation agreement provides for
dedication by separate instrument of a 30 -foot wide strip of land to
be known as Lands Road at the rear of Lot 1, SWACO Tract and
would obligate the KO -MAC Corporation to pay one-half of the cost of
street improvements and the full cost of drainage improvements for
the tract when adjacent portions of Lands Road are dedicated or when

the City determines the necessity. The F & D agreement is similar to
the KO -MAC agreement except that the 30 -foot right-of-way of Lands
Road would be dedicated by plat. Both agreements would be
covenants running with the land. A public hearing was held on the
street closure on February 6, 1980 and a motion was passed to close
the streets subject to the above conditions.
13. A public hearing be held July 29, 1981 to consider increasing transit
fares as follows:
Existing Proposed:
Cash Fare $0.35 $0.50
Senior Citizen/Handicapped .15 .25
Children (6-12) .17 .25
Student 20 for 3.50 20 for 5.00
Monthly Pass None 20.00
Transfer Free Free
Zone Fares .10/.05 None
Tokens 5 for 1.50 5 for 2.25
Express bus service 50/1.00 75/1.00
The last fare increase for fixed route service was August, 1978.
This fare increase is estimated to generate $122,600 in -additional
revenue.
14. In town charter rates be increased as follows:
In Town Charter: Existing: Proposed:
45 passenger - Minimum 2 hours $42.00 $50.00
35 passenger - Minimum 2 hours - $36.00 $40.00
45 passenger - Hourly Rate thereafter $16.00 $20.00
35 passenger - Hourly Rate thereafter $14.00 $20.00
The most recent in -town charter serfvice rate charge was August,
1980. This charter rate increase is estimated to generate an
additional $60,000.
15. Bids be received on August 11, 1981, subject to UMTA approval, for
10 air-conditioned 35 -foot diesel buses to replace buses that are 14
years old and have individual mileage between 500,000 and 700,000
miles. The purchase of these buses is part of a current Transit
grant. Estimated cost is $147,000 per bus. It is further
recommended that four modified vans be purchased for routes with
light ridership and five buses in the current fleet be remanufactured
at an estimated cost of $55,000 each so as to extend usable life,
upgrade mechanical components, and improve exterior appearance.
The modified vans are estimated to cost $25,000 per bus. An
amendment to the current transit grant will need to be approved
before bids can be awarded for remanufacturing and for the modified
vans.
16. A $28,522 settlement be approved with the Estate of David Espurvoa
for personal injuries and wrongful death incurred when a Police car
on an emergency run was involved in a four -car collision at the
intersection of Baldwin and Ayers Streets on April 1, 1981.
17. The positon of Telephone Operator be classified from grade 10 to
grade 12 and Chief Telephone Operator from grade 13 to grade 15 to
reflect the responsibilities of these positions which are responsible for
all calls through the City Hall and Police Building switchboards.
Turnover has exceeded 50% in these 6 positions in each of the last 3
years.

18. A motion to amend be approved, prior to third reading, of the
ordinance authorizing execution of an industrial district agreement
with Corpus Christi Refinery, Inc., to provide that, for the purposes
of the favored nations clause, Corpus Christi Refinery, Inc. (now
Suntide) will be classified in the chemical and allied products group
and the petroleum refining and related industries group.
19. Ordinance No. 16150, which authorized execution of an industrial
district agreement with PPG INdustries, Inc. be amended to authorize
execution of an earlier version of the agreement which had already
been signed by PPG.
20. Sedans and station wagons be purchased as follows:
Bill Gardner Pontiac, GMC, Inc., Corpus Christi:
26 replacement and 3 additional sub -compact sedans for Municipal
Court, Finance, Neighborhood Improvement, Fire, Building, Park and
Recreation, Engineering and Physical Development and the Water and
Gas Divisions. The three additional vehicles include one for the
Recreation Supervisor to replace a car allowance, one for an
additional Meter Reader position included in the 1979-80 Budget and
one for the Transit General Manager -
$171, 805-. 57-
Tradewind Ford Sales, Corpus Christi:

2 replacement compact station wagons for Finance and Museum -

Creveling Dodge Motor Co., Corpus Christi:
1 replacement intermediate sedan for Industrial Development -
$ 7,844.10
Tradewinds Ford submitted the low bid of $159,045.93 on sub -compact
sedans; however, the company has advised that it will be unable to
deliver the sub -compacts because Ford has completed production for
the current model year. Bill Gardner Pontiac submitted the low bid
on the compact station wagons and intermediate sedan when estimated
fuel costs are added to the purchase price based on EPA mileage
ratings; however, the company cannot guarantee the delivery date.
The second low bid submitted by Tradewinds Ford on the intermediate
sedan is not recommended because the sedan bid has a 105.5" wheel
base and 200 cubic inch displacement engine. The specifications
required a minimum 100" wheel base and a 225 cubic inch displacement
engine. Bids were received from 3 firms.
21. The public hearing on the contractual annexation of River Canyon
Subdivision (72.53 acres) located west of Highway 77 and north of FM
624 between the Callallen High School and the Nueces River be
rescheduled from July 1, 1981 to July 8, 181. Due to an error on
the part of the Caller -Times, the notice of public hearing was
inadevertently not published in the newspaper as required by State
Law.
There were no comments on the City Manager's Reports.
Motion by Hawkins that the City Manager's Reports, items 1 through 21 be
approved, seconded by Zarsky and passed unanimously.
