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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.
Motion by Gulley to eliminate the $5.00 fee for the recreation progrm
effective immediately; seconded by Kennedy; and passed unanimously.
