ISREILMED SEP i9199.47, i' Minutes Regular Council Meeting July 1, 1981 Page 2 Motion by Gulley that Mayor Pro Tem Betty Turner and Council Member Jack Dumphy be excused from the meeting for just cause; seconded by Zarsky; and passed unanimously. Mayor Jones presented the following item for consideration: Confirmation of actions taken during the Workshop Meeting of July 1, 1981. 1. Tentative Approval of the compromise worked out between the City Staff and the developers of Brighton Village in regard to water, I sewer and drainage. 2. Approval of Alternate No. 3 for the Wooldridge -Staples Drainage Outfall. City Manager Townsend informed the Council that a motion to approve these actions is not necessary because they will be considered later as a part of the City Manager's Reports. Motion by Zarsky that these actions be acknowledged; seconded by Hawkins; and passed unanimously. Mayor Jones called for the City's Manager's Reports. City Manager Townsend presented the following items with related comments and explanations and recommended that: 1. Bids be received July 28, 1981, for twelve months supply of approxi- mately 1,074 automotive and 281 commercial batteries for Maintenance Services, Transit and Fire. 2. Bids be received July 21, 1981, for a twelve months supply of approximately 381 tons of liquid chlorine in railroad tank cars for water treatment. 3. Bids be received July 28, 1981, for 150, 25' creosoted poles, for construction of a fence at the Westside Sanitary Landfill along Sid Allison Road. Mayor Jones inquired as to whether or not this was to comply with the State directive in regard to fencing landfills. City Manager Townsend emphasized the fact that this fence was not to comply with those directives because the City Staff plans to oppose the State requirements that all landfills should be fenced. He stated that he was of the opinion that it is better for the landfill areas to be opened so that people can dispose of debris whenever possible. • BS ,ar Council Meeting Juiy 1, 1981 Page 3 4. A 12 months supply of approximately 40,000 lbs. of pipeline enamel, 110 gallons of primer and 40 rolls 12' x 800' of felt for the Gas Division to protect pipes be awarded to the Armor Supply, Odessa, for $13,210. The bid is subject to price fluctuation. Two bids were received. Prices have increased approximately 66% since August 1, 1979. The low bid of $12,688.60 by Van Leeuwan, Corpus Christi, is not recommended because the bid is based on delivery of the estimated 12 months supply at one time and there is not sufficient space available in the warehouse to store a twelve months supply. The Van Leeuwan bid is a firm bid. 5. The final assessment roll for Ella Barnes Unit 1B Street Improvements be adopted. The roll includes assessment of $276,573.99 on 250 items. The project was constructed at a cost of $1,176,942.17 and accepted by the City on May 27, 1981. The project was in the 5t1! Year Community Development and 1977 bond programs. The streets involved included: a. Cheyenne from Baldwin to Agnes b. Osage from Chippewa to Agnes c. Eleanor from Ruth to Agnes d. Navajo from Osage to Baldwin e. Chippewa, Huron and Lou from Osage to Virginia f. Ruth from Eleanor to Osage g. Mary from Francisca to Eleanor h. Elesa from Mary to Agnes 6. Valero Transmission Company be granted a revocable easement to cross Sedwick Road west of Southern Minerals Road, for the purpose of installing a three and one half inch diameter natural gas pipeline. A fee of $150.00 will be charged in accordance with the street use fee ordinance. 7. $1,035 be appropriated for appraisal services by Mr. Thomas F. Dorsey, including not to exceed $250 for a local house moving contractor to estimate costs for relocation of a single family frame dwelling, for acquisition of a parcel of land for Horne Road Street Improvements. Since federal funds are involved, an independent real estate appraiser must be employed to establish value. This parcel is located at the corner of Horne Road and Barrera Street. Acquisition is necessary in order to construct a larger radius curve for safer traffic flow. 8. A contract be approved with Mr. George E. Clower, Jr. to provide architectural services for restoration and rebuilding of the Marina Office and restrooms, fueling facilities on the Lawrence Street T -Head, Bait House structure on the L -Head and repair of the Kiwanis Recreation Center on Corpus Christi Beach. All of the work is related to Hurricane Allen damage. FEMA has estimated restoration and replacement cost for the facilities to be $87,000. An appropriation of $9,000 for architectural services is recommended. 9. Payment of $13,753.14 be approved for services performed by Freese and Nichols, Inc. Consulting Engineers in preparing engineering data and providing expert testimony for water rights adjudications hearings held by the Texas Water Commission for the Lower Nueces River. The legal firm of Booth, Lloyd, and Simmons, who represented the City in the hearings, requested the firm's services to support the City's claims for water. The preliminary findings of the examiner are the same as the City's hearing testimony. Mayor Jones referred to the contract with Mr. George E. Clower for archi- tectural services for restoration rebuilding of the Marina Office and restrooms and other items and asked for an estimate of the time the work will begin. Minutes Regular Council Meeting July 1, 1981 Page 4 City Manager Townsend explained that some preliminary work is required, following which the Staff will discuss it with the Council before the project goes any further. He stated that the largest problem will be the Marina Office because the Staff feels that the estimated costs might be in excess of the funds available. * Council Member Charles Kennedy arrived at the meeting at 2:30 p.m. ** 10. Lands owned by the Port of Corpus Christi Authority and contained within the Corpus Christi Industrial Development District No. 1 be established and designated as Subdistrict "A" and a contract be approved with Port Authority to permit Authority lessees to partici- pate in the City's industrial district program. Tenants include N. L. Baroid, Coastal Iron Works, Inc., and Weatherby Engineering. 11. The industrial district agreement with Coastal Iron Works, Inc. be amended, prior to third reading, to provide that the in lieu of sales tax payment be reduced by City sales tax actually remitted to the State in connection with sales generated from the industrial district, upon submission of satisfactory proof of the amount remitted. Coastal Iron Works' corporate offices are inside the City limits while their ship yard is outside. The company is paying City sales tax on all company sales regardless of whether the sales are generated from property inside or outside the City because it is difficult to differentiate between activity inside or outside the City for sales tax purposes. 12. An amendment to the industrial district agreement with PPG Industries, Inc. be approved so that it will conform with the standard agreement with other industries. The City and PPG have executed an earlier version of the agreement. 13. A resolution be passed that notice by publication be given regarding the City's intention to issue $25,000,000 of water revenue bonds. The sale is scheduled for July 22, 1981. 14. Replacement pick up trucks and vans be purchased on the basis of most advantageous bid, including fuel cost based on EPA mileage ratings: Creveling Motor Company, Corpus Christi Thirteen light duty 1/2 ton pickups for Sanitation, Building Maintenance, Park and Recreation, Water, Gas, Traffic Engineering and Oso Golf Course. $ 90,746.41 Eight heavy duty 1/2 ton pickups for Gas, Aviation Water, Health, Wastewater and Coliseum $ 58,210.40 Four 3/4 ton pickups for Park and Recreation, Wastewater and Traffic Engineering. $ 30,617.98 One - 1 ton pickup for Gas Division $ 7,946.67 One cargo van for Traffic Engineering $ 9,578.62 Subtotal- $197,100.08 Tradewinds, Ford, Corpus Christi ** The City Manager withdrew this item. 'es ar Council Meeting )...j 1, 1981 Page 5 Three light duty 1/2 ton pickups for Gas Division $ 19,966.23 One van for Purchasing Messenger Service J. CITY MANAGER'S REPORTS: (Cont'd) It is recommended that: 14. - (Cont'd) $ 7,591.81 Subtotal -$ 27,558.04 Total - $224,658.12 Bids were received from four firms. Price comparison shows an increase of 20%. The low bid of $7,943 on the one ton pickup by Bill Gardner GMC is not recommended because Bill Gardner is bidding 1982 vehicles with a delivery in November, 1981. The bid of Creveling Motor Company is only $3.67 more and it is recommended because delivery will be made by September, 1981. 15. A limit of five cans or bags be established for residential garbage collection and that any other trash such as bags of grass clippings only be picked up as part of the every -other -Wednesday trash collection service. This change is needed to partially offset the increasing workload on garbage collection days. The number of customers per route has increased from 678 in 1967 to 883 presently despite the addition of a crew in 1979. 16. Applications for utility taps be allowed to be made by anyone who has properly applied for a building or plumbing permit, and that the tap fees be required to be paid before the permit is issued. Presently only persons holding plumbing permits may apply for taps. Occasionally a delay in applying for a tap has resulted in a family moving into a house before the sewer connection has been completed. Council Member Gulley referred to item 15 in regard to the limitation on bags or cans of garbage and suggested that the public be informed about the changes in the garbage collection. Mr. Bill Hennings, Assistant City Manager Manager, stated that the City has approximately 60,000 customers and only about 1,000 will be affected by this change. City Manager Townsend stated that notices will be provided either by Sanitation Truck delivery or by some other method. 17. Additional enforcement authority be established regarding unsafe or illegal moveable and portable signs: a. The Building Official be authorized to have such signs impounded. The owner would be charged $50 for hauling and $10 per day storage fee. If the sign were not claimed after 30 days, it would be sold for salvage or otherwise disposed of. b. Inspectors be authorized to issue citations with a standard fine of $50. Citations would be issued to the owner or lessee of the sign, the owner of the property, or the owner or manager of the business advertised. The authority to impound signs and issue citations would apply to un- authorized signs in the public street right of way, signs violating the view obstruction ordinance, signs over fifteen square feet not anchored as required by the Building Code, and defective electrical signs which are dangerous and unsafe. Minutes Regular Council Meeting July 1, 1981 Page 6 City Manager Townsend explained that the present policy does not always allow for rapid removal of signs; it is expensive to have signs removed through court action; and this authority will allow for such removal. Council Member Hawkins inquired if the signs would be removed without notice to the property owners and Mr. Hennings explained that the inspector will attempt to locate the owner of the property, notify him that the sign is in violation, and if the owner does not comply, the Staff will remove the sign. 18. Plans and specifications, for expansion of the 0. N. Stevens Treatment Plant be approved and bids be received August 26, 1981. The proposed expansion includes a raw water pump station; raw water receiving unit; mixing, flocculating and settling basin; filter; ten million gallon water storage; tank high service pump station; revisions to the chemical building and existing primary mixing basins and other related work including piping, electrical, mechanical, paving, grading and fencing. The expansion will result in an additional 48 million gallon per day treatment capacity with an overload capacity of 72 million gallons per day. This expansion will generally double the existing capacity of the plant. Council Member Gulley commented that he had attended the rating session held in New York City on Monday and stated that he is of the opinion that the City will obtain good ratings in spite of Proposition 14 which did have some effect on the City of Corpus Christi's bond rating. Council Member Zarsky stated in this connection that this City is fortunate to have a City Manager who has such a good relationship with the personnel connected with the bond rating services. He stated that the question of the tax rate was of primary concern to all of them. City Manager Townsend stated that both agencies questioned them extensively about the passage of Proposition 14 and he was apprehensive that it will be difficult to retain our current ratings of Aa from Standards & Poors and Al from Moody's in view of Propostion 14. He stated that the City will be informed about the ratings in approximately ten days. 19. A public hearing be held at 2:00 p.m., Wednesday, July 29, 1981, to consider adoption of the 1981-82 budget. Informal public hearings will be held on July 15 and July 22, 1981. 20. A public hearing be held on July 15, 1981 on the contractual annexa- tion of a 104.16 acre area being platted as Brighton Village located west of Airline Road and south of Saratoga. 21. A change order to the contract with R. E. Dow & Sons be approved for $6,165. Dow & Sons are now painting three elevated water tanks through a $57,200 contract. The proposed change order will add three ground tanks at the Flour Bluff Pump Station near Flour Bluff Drive and South Padre Island Drive. Funds are available in the Water Division budget. s I. s Council Meeting Iuly 1, 1981 Page 7 22. The proposed Industrial District Agreement with Heldenfels Brothers, Inc., be amended to add an Exhibit "B" which describes the main offices of the company located inside the City on McBride Lane south of Leopard Street. The exhibit is required so the alternative method of computing in lieu of tax payments, which takes into consideration taxes paid on land inside the city limits, can be utilized. There were no comments from the audience on the City Manager's Reports. Motion by Zarsky that the City Manager's Reports, items 1 through 22, item 10 having been withdrawn, be approved; seconded by Hawkins; and passed unanimously. ********* City Manager Townsend briefly explained the ordinances and withdrew several of the ordinances authorizing the execution of industrial district agreements noting that several of them had not submitted their signed contracts. City Manager Towsend explained that the Staff has been in contact with representatives of CCPC and have been advised that they have deferred sending in their agreements because of negotiations in which they are involved on the acquisition of additional property. City Manager Townsend stated that the company will submit their signed agreement immediately and send in their amended agreement after the land has been acquired. Motion by Zarsky that CCPC be allowed an extension of two weeks to submit their agreement; seconded by Gulley; and passed unanimously. Also in connection with the industrial district agreements, City Manager Townsend presented the following motions to amend on various companies: MOTION TO AMEND the ordinance authorizing the City Manager to execute an industrial district agreement for a term of seven (7) years commencing January 1, 1981, passed on first reading by the City Council of the City of Corpus Christi on March 18, 1981, and on second reading on March 25, 1981, the following: 1. Amending Exhibit 1 of the Ordinance to add Exhibit "A" (Industrial District Land Description). Minutes Regular Council Meeting July 1, 1981 Page 8 The City Council passed motions to amend by separate action by a motion by Gulley, seconded by Zarsky and passed unanimously on each of the following companies: Centex Cement Corporation; Saber Refining Company; Valery Hydrocarbons Company; Frank Bailey Grain Company; N. L. Baroid; Whitey -Patton Hot Shot, Inc.; Coastal Iron Works, Inc.; Turner Tool Joint Rebuilders, Corp. City Manager Townsend then informed the Council that Weatherby Engineering Company's representative had just informed Mr. Tom Basile, Administrative Assistant that they intended to send in their agreement but there was some misunderstanding as to which office was handling the execution of the agreement. Motion by Zarsky that Weatherby Engineering Company be granted a two week extension, seconded by Gulley, and passed unanimously. Council Member Gulley referred to the ordinance amending the Building Code as it pertains to signs and inquired if this ordinance is designed to eliminate unsafe or illegal signs. He pointed out that the signs are usually regulated by zoning and stated that this seems to be a practice to circumvent the zoning requirements. City Manager Townsend stated that they are in violation of zoning also and Council Member Gulley suggested that this be declared illegal unless they have a permit. City Manager Townsend expressed the opinion that this will not be a complete solution to the problem but it should help control some sign violations. Mr. John Stensland, 337 Primrose, a member of the Marina Advisory Board, referred to the ordinance in regard to architectural services in connection with rebuilding the Marina Office building and stated that he hoped that this will be completed soon and asked about the expected completion date. City Manager Townsend explained that the cost estimated is that provided by FEMA; they probably will not pay any portion of this; the architect will have to advise the City on this project; FEMA at one time considered this area to be in a "V" zone which relates to certain elevations; and the Staff will probably recommend replacing the buildings without assistance from FEMA. There were no further comments on the ordinances. 1 s - i ar Council Meeting July 1, 1981 Page 9 City Secretary Bill G.

City Manager Townsend presented to the Council memorandums in regard to questions that were discussed during the morning Workshop meeting including the fees for recreation program for children which is sponsored by Park & Recreation Department. Council Member Kennedy agreed that if the fee of $5.00 is prohibitive and has eliminated the possibility of children attending the recreation centers, possibly they should be reduced so that more children may become involved in the program. Minutes Regular Council Meeting July 1, 1981 Page 14 Council Member Hawkins agreed and pointed out that if children participate in the recreation center program it is possible that vandalism will be reduced in those areas. City Manager Townsend informed the Council that he was not in favor of the fee when it was first established but it was almost necessary because of the reduced budget. He pointed out that if the children are not utilizing the program in certain areas,the program should be eliminated at thos centers. He also informed the Council that only 328,000 was anticipated as revenue from this source at the beginning of the budget year. Mayor Jones suggested that the $5.00 fee be eliminated effective today. City Manager Townsend stated that this could be managed if the Council did not instruct the Staff to attempt to refund the fees already paid by those who have previously registered.
