Council Member Gulley mentioned the fact that many vehicles are parked in parks all night and asked if this could be prohibited. City Manager Townsend agreed that that problem was becoming worse and steps may have to be taken to prevent this practice. 3.

Mr. Greenberg is the owner of Greenberg's Jewelery Store and Mr. Redus is a licensed commercial real estate broker. Both men are local residents. Discussion followed on the method of flagging cabs, and Mayor Pro Tem Turner suggested that this be discussed with the taxicab company in view of the fact that the convention center will have so many visitors which will create a need for this type of service. Minutes Regular Council Meeting August 5, 1981 Page 6 City Manager Townsend suggested that this matter be considered at the time the franchises are due to be renewed. 13. An amendment be approved to the Chaparral Aviation, Inc. commercial hangar fixed base aviation lease at the Airport to accept Chaparral's request to exercise their first right of refusal on a 350 feet by 250 feet tract extending in a northwesterly direction and abutting 250 feet on Taxiway P.

The five year time purchase bid of $1,155 a month for the first year including delivery and installation charges and $949 a month for the second through the fifth years be awarded to IBM on the basis of apparent low bid meeting specifications for Word Processing 'Systems for the City Secretary's Office and the Legal Department. These systems will replace the equipment now being rented for $933 per month for the City Secretary's Office, and the Mag -Card Typewriter in the Legal Department acquired in 1970. Bids were received from three firms. 15. Recommendation that a closed meeting be held to discuss a personnel matter. 16.

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 16, be approved; seconded by Turner; and passed unanimously. ********* Mayor Jones presented the following tabled matter: Application of Del Mar College to change the name of Kosar Street to Aileen Creighton Lane from Ayers Street to Staples Street. This application was heard on July 22, 1981 and tabled for two weeks. Mayor Jones stated that he had received a letter from Dr. Jean Richardson, President of Del Mar College, withdrawing their request for changing the name of Kosar Street to Aileen Creighton Lane. ********* Mayor Jones announced the public hearing on the following matter: Recommendation of the Airport Advisory Board that the Airport Limousine Service's rates be increased from 10.5%, to 16.7%: From: To: $4.00 $4.50 Zone 1 (Downtown to Morgan) Zone 2 (Corpus Christi Beach and Morgan to Weber and Corn Products to Violet Rd. $4.50 $5.25 rtes , ular Council Meeting August 5, 1981 Page 7 Zone 3 (Weber to the Oso and Violet Road to the City Limits) Zone 4 (Flour Bluff and NAS) $6.00 $7.50 $9.50 $10.50 The last increase was granted in May, 1980. The franchise operated at a loss last year. The Advisory Board's approval of February 23rd, was only as to Zones 2 through 4. The applicant chose not to pursue the rate in- crease application until the franchise had been transferred and financial statements were available for the new company. City Manager Townsend informed the Council that the staff recommends this rate increase and noted that the City is very fortunate to have this type of limousine service. In a related matter, Council Member Gulley inquired about the status of the paging system at the Airport, and City Manager Townsend replied that there is none at this time. Council Member Gulley expressed the opinion that the paging service is needed and asked for suggestions as to how it can be established. City Manager Townsend explained that the airlines have agreed to page and they are doing it but are unable to page passengers when they are excessively busy. Council Member Gulley suggested that the Airport Advisory Board be requested to study the paging problem. Mayor Jones ascertained that no one wished to speak in regard to the increase in airport limousine rates. Motion by Dumphy that the hearing be closed, seconded by Gulley and passed unanimously. Motion by Zarsky that the Airport Limousine Service: rates be increased as rcommended, seconded by Guley and passed unanimously. Mayor Jones announced the public hearing on the following matter: Recommendation of the Planning Commission that the Master Sanitary Sewer Plan for the Flour Bluff area be amended by moving the existing sanitary sewer divide between Glenoak and Caribbean, approximately 660' westerly to coincide with the Master Drainage Plan divide and include this 40 -acre area plus an additional 20 -acre area within the present service area of the Glenoak Drive trunk sewer. The existing terraine warrants having the two master plan divides coincide since adequate capacity exists in the Glenoak Drive line to accommodate the proposed change. The change recognizes natural topography as the divide of the gravity systems for both drainage and sanitary sewers. Minutes Regular Council Meeting August 5, 1981 Page 8 City Manager Townsend displayed a map showing Waldron Field to the left and Waldron Field Road and Caribbean Drive and its proposed extension, the City's park and the two subdivisions involved. Assistant City Manager James K. Lontos explained that this change was necessitated because of an oversight in the Engineering & Physical Development Department. He stated that the staff recommends that the western portion of Highland Oaks Subdivision be included in the drainage system for the eastern portion. Mayor Jones determined that no one wished to speak on this matter. Motion by Dumphy that the hearing be closed, seconded by Turner and passed by the following vote: Jones, Turner, Dumphy, Hawkins and Kennedy voting "Aye"; Zarsky, abstaining; and Gulley absent from the Council Chamber at the time the vote was taken. Motion by Dumphy that the Master Sanitary Sewer Plan for the Flour Bluff area be amended as recommended by the staff; seconded by Turner and passed by the following vote: Jones, Turner, Dumphy, Hawkins and Kennedy voting, "Aye"; Zarsky abstaining; and Gulley out of the Council Chambers at the time the vote was taken. Mayor Jones called for the ordinances and City Manager Townsend briefly explained the ordinances on the agenda. Mayor Jones called for comments from the audience on the ordinances. Mr. Vinson Quavas, 7518 So. Padre Island Drive, expressed the opinion that the City Council should not pass an ordinance limiting the number of garbage bags. He stated that his garbage has not been picked up for two weeks. City Manager Townsend explained to Mr. Quavas that the limitation on the number of bags should not have anything to do with the garbage pickup. Mr. Quavas stated that he had talked to an employee at the Sanitation Division who informed him that he was limited to five bags per week, and City Manager Townsend explained that this was five bags per pickup but his garbage should have been picked up on the regular days. He stated that the staff will investigate this. tes Aar Council Meeting August 5, 1981 Page 9 City Secretary Read called for the vote on the ordinances and the following were passed: FIRST READING: AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE CONTRACT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI AND ALLIED DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, A TRUE COPY OF SAID CONTRACT BEING ATTACHED HERETO AND MADE A PART HEREOF, MARKED EXHIBIT "A", AND INCLUDING EXHIBITS THERETO, AS THOUGH FULLY SET FORTH HEREIN, AFTER DUE NOTICE AND HEARING, FOR THE ANNEXATION OF A 45.17 ACRE TRACT OF LAND, MORE OR LESS, OUT OF THE MARIANO LOPEZ DE HERRERA GRANT, ABSTRACT NO. 606, AND DESCRIBED IN DEED RECORDS OF NUECES COUNTY, TEXAS; FINDING ALL OF SAID LAND TO LIE ENTIRELY WITHIN THE EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION OF THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI, ADJOINING, CONTIGUOUS, AND ADJACENT THERETO; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY.

He stated that some items are recommended for deletion while others are being phased in during the year. He also informed the Council that the revenue sharing budget has been modified by deferring purchase of the car pound site and reducing the energy modifications of City Hall and utilities building and reducing the initial payment on the police training facility from $75,000 to $50,000, noting that these modifications will allow shifting some new equipment from the General Fund Budget to Revenue Sharing. City Manager Townsend pointed out that the total of the deletions or reductions is $708,000. Mayor Tones stated that he felt that the Council should approve these to comply with the 62$ tax rate. Council Member Gulley referred to item 3 - Traffic Engineering - and stated that he has received complaints about the street markings in that they are not clear enough. City Manager Townsend stated that the City is the process of using thermoplastic for signs and markings which is more satisfactory, but the reduction will reduce the quantity. He pointed out that the City will still have $5,000 more in this portion of the budget than they did last year, or in other words, they will have about the same level of street painting as last year, but this year the $100,000 grant will help in that respect. Council Member Gulley stated that he would like to have this $20,000 item under Traffic Engineering remain in the budget for this purpose and suggested that the advertising in the amount of $25,000 be eliminated from the Gas Fund. City Manager Townsend informed Mr. Gulley that the General Fund is separate from the Gas Fund and funds cannot be transferred from the Gas Fund. He further explained that there are some funds that are tied up and must be kept separate in the Gas Fund and funds cannot be transferred from the Gas Fund to the General Fund until all bills are paid. He stated, however, that the Council can decide whether they are going to keep the Gas Fund separate in the event they might wish to borrow against the Gas Fund. Minutes Regular Council Meeting August 5, 1981 Page 16 Council Member Gulley stated that he does not want to transfer funds but is just concerned about the bottom line of the budget, and he again suggested that the advertising be deleted from the Gas Fund. City Manager Townsend agreed that the advertising can be eliminated from the Gas Division Budget, but the $25,000 covers other items in addition to advertising and the amount specified for advertising was $16,000. Motion by Gulley that the advertising in the Gas Division Budget be deleted in the amount of $16,000, seconded by Turner. Mayor Jones disagreed with this motion, stating that this means that advertising to consumers will be provided only by Central Power & Light Company, and there is a need for the City to impress on users that gas is cheaper than converting gas to electricity. He pointed out that it is possible that CP&L's advertising will attract new customers who would ordinarily use gas. Council Member Kennedy pointed out that the $15,000 donated to the radio station could assure that service announcements advertising gas could be aired on that station. City Manager Townsend stated that he did not feel that CP&L would even consider that as public service information, and the radio station is not supposed to have commercials. He reminded the Council that the last advertising for the use of gas was several years ago and it is cheaper to operate with gas. Council Member Gulley reiterated that he did not feel that the City should be in the business of advertising anything. • Council Member Hawkins stated that he was of the opinion that CP&L should be prohibited from deceptive advertising in regard to heat pumps. Council Member Zarsky questioned whether $15,000 would be an adequate amount to even combat the advertising campaign conducted by CP&L. The motion to eliminate $16,000 for advertising for gas passed by the following vote: Turner, Dunphy, Gulley, Hawkins and Kennedy voting, "Aye"; Jones and Zarsky voting, "Nay". City Manager Townsend inquired if the Council was making a request that the staff make a review of Central Power & LIght Company's advertising. rtes alar Council Meeting —ugust 5, 1981 Page 17 Motion by Hawkins that the advertising practices of CP&L be reviewed, seconded by Dumphy and passed unanimously. Council Member Dumphy suggested that an outstanding employee from the Gas Division attend the Homebuilders Association meetings to urge the use of gas. Mayor Pro Tem Turner referred to #7, General Government, as it pertains to the recommendation for the reduction in the amount of $30,000 of the Industrial Development promotion program. City Manager Townsend explained that there will be County participation in this program, and this reduced item is just to delay the program until January 1, 1982. Council Member Gulley expressed the opinion that this $30,000 should remain in the budget because he felt that the Industrial Development program was one of the most important that the City has in that they attract outstanding jobs and new industry to Corpus Christi. City Manager Townsend reiterated that this is just a reduction to delay the start of the program until January 1, 1982. Mr. Tom Stewart, Director of Traffic & Transit, arrived in the Council Chamber to explain that the thermoplastic striping is being performed from funds from a federal grant in certain areas of the City, and he was . of the opinion that the system will work very well. Council Member Gulley inquired of Mr. Stewart if he was of the opinion that the recommended reduction in the street marking program would handicap the City. Mr. Stewart stated that he had not had an opportunity to discuss this, but he felt that his department would be able to perform about the same level of service as last year. City Manager Townsend pointed out that last year's budget was $330,000 and 'this year's budget is $390,000. Mayor Jones asked for an explanation of the personnel deletions and City Manager Townsend explained the three positions that will be eliminated. Mayor Pro Tem Turner asked about the impact of eliminating routes from the transit system. Minutes Regular Council Meeting August 5, 1981 Page 18 Mr. Stewart explained that the ones planned to be eliminated have a very low number of riders but agreed that any routes that are eliminated will affect a few people. City Manager Townsend informed the Council that public hearings will be required to eliminate the routes. Motion by Zarsky that the Council approve a budget of $126.1 million dollars at the .621 tax rate with the deletions that are recommended by the staff; seconded by Gulley; and passed unanimously. Council Member Kennedy referred to a list of items that he felt should be examined, mentioning in particular 23 vacancies in personnel, noting that 14 of these have been available for one year. He also noted that almost $100,000 in personnel vacancies have existed since 1979. City Manager Townsend explained that there will be a real problem in the financing next year because at that time the General Fund is scheduled to be $3 million less, and if the expenditures are all spent, next year there will be a $3 million deficit. He stated that he would hope that the Council would instruct the staff to keep the vacancies to a maximum in order to effect a savings. Mr. Townsend also pointed out that the vacancies listed have not been vacant since 1979 because they were filled in between times. He agreed that there will be salary balances next year, but they are not enough to recoup the loss of the $3 million dollars. Council Member Kennedy inquired about the money that was scheduled to be spent on the Victorian improvements of the Bayfront Plaza. City Manager Townsend replied that this is not in the Community Development Program but it could be placed in the budget instead of the purchase of the Headstart Program portable buildings. Mayor Pro Tem Turner s tated that she also is concerned about the large number of personnel vacancies that exist and suggested that if they are vacant they should be deleted. City Manager Townsend reiterated that no position that presently exists is being held vacant for very long and in some instances the vacancies will exist for short times for various reasons. ,utes • Pular Council Meeting august 5, 1981 Page 19 Mayor Jon.e, called for otitions or information from the audience on matters not scheduled on Ue agtnda, an'i 'here was no reponse. Council Member Kennedy expressed t he opinion that the Council needs to decide about the $1.0,000 fund for.' advertising. Motion by Kennedy that this be an agenda item three weeks from today; seconded by Gulley. Further discussion followed pertaining to the Tourist and Convention Bureau Budget. Dr. Kennedy requested a list of everything that is art related. The motion that this matter be on the agenda in three weeks passed unanimously. City Manager Townsend referred to his recommendation for additional electrical inspectors, and Council Member Kennedy stated that he was of the opinion that the Association of General Contractors should address this subject. City Manager Townsend informed the Council that this will be on the agenda in two weeks. Motion by Zarsky that the Regular Council Meeting be recessed at 5:50 p.m., seconded by Hawkins and passed unanimously. ********* • Mayor Jones reconvened the Regular Council Meeting at 6:01 p.m. Motion, by Zarsky that the Council convene in closedsession under the authority of Article 6252••17c of V.A.C.S. on personnel matters, seconded by Turner and passed unanimously.
