MICROFILMED §i1.31 9 iDnil Minutes gular Council Meeting .ie 24, 1981 rage 2 Mayor Luther Jones then administered the oath of office to all members 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.

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.

Motion by Turner that the foregoing action be confirmed, seconded by Gulley, and passed unanimously. Minutes %gular Council Meeting ne 24, 1981 ,-age 3 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. minutes ,gular Council Meeting ie 24, 1981 age 4 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. ' nutes gular Council Meeting .ne 24, 1981 Page 5 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. -lutes gular Council Meeting ,ane 24, 1981 Page 6 Mayor Jones called for the City Manager's Reports. City Manager Townsend briefly explained the City Manager's Reports and recommended that: 1.

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%. .Minutes pular Council Meeting le 24, 1981 .age 7 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 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 .Minutes lular Council Meeting ie 24, 1981 rage 8 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.

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.
