Motion by Gulley that the Council convene in closed session under the
Authority of Article 6252-17C, V.A.C.S., for the purpose of discussion a
personnel matter; seconded by Kennedy; and passed by the following vote:
Turner, Dumphy, Gulley, and Kennedy voting, "Aye"; Jones and Zarsky
voting, "No"; Hawkins, "absent at the time the vote was taken".

during the closed session.
**********
Mayor Jones reconvened the Regular Council Meeting at 4:15 p.m. and
recognized City Manager Marvin Townsend.
City Manager Townsend stated that it has become abundantly clear that the
services which he has been providing for the Council are not consistent with a'
majority vote of this Council; therefore, it was his desire to offer to them his
resignation from the position of City Manager effective in two weeks, with the
understanding that the accumulated leave time which he has coming, which is
substantial, will be allowed to run as a City employee and that it will include a
work period some time in January. He noted that in other words, his
resignation would assume that the accrued vacation which he has coming --
some 170 days -- would in fact be paid on a monthly basis until it is finally
used up.
Motion by Gulley to accept the resingation under the conditions Mr.
Townsend stated; seconded by Kennedy.
C.:
Council Member Gulley further moved that the Council set a Special Council
Meeting for 6:30 p.m. to formally accept the resignation and that the City
Secretary be notified to post notice of the meeting and be sure that it is done
two hours before 6:30 p.m. The amendment to the motion was seconded by
Council Member Kennedy.
Mayor Jones stated that he will vote against accepting City Manager.
Townsend's resignation. He expressed the opinion that he has performed a
eery good job and that this action is not in the best interest of the City.

Council Member Zarsky stated that, in his opinion, there is no justification
for the City Manager's resignation; his service to the City has been exemplary;
and this City has progressed tremendously in the last few years. He stated
that he felt that the City Manager has very ably carried out the will of the
Council and that of prior Councils on which he had served. He stated that he
did not think there would be any benefit to this City by the resignation of City
Manager Townsend and that he would be very difficult to replace. He further
stated that in his opinion, City Manager Townsend has performed as the City
Charter has specified. He stated that he is very disappointed for the City and
disappointed for City Manager Townsend.
Council Member Hawkins noted that this issue comes up during every
election; he felt that the people of this City desire a change; and even though
he feels that City Manager Townsend is one of the beat City Managers in the
State and the Country, he would vote to accept the resignation for the
progress of the City.
Mayor Pro Tem Turner stated that she has a very great respect for City
Manager Townsend and that she felt that the City has benefited greatly under
his leadership during the past twelve years but she was of the opinion that this
City is ready for a change and she felt that it was up to this Council to
replace Mr. Townsend in the City Manager's position.
Council Member Dumphy reminded everyone that he had said before that,
in his opinion, the City does need new thoughts and innovative ideas for this
City to grow. He referred to the Texas Research League Report in which they
recommended a change in the City Government, specifically, that they
recommended that a team concept for top management be established, and he did
not think that City Manager Townsend is a team type of person. He,
therefore, stated that he felt that this action was better for the City and he
would vote to accept City Manager Townsend's resignation.
The motion passed by the following vote: Turner, Dumphy, Gulley,
Hawkins, and Kennedy voting, "Aye"; Jones and Zarsky voting, "No".

**********
Mayor Jones then called for the City Manager's Reports. City Manager
Townsend presented the following items with related comments and explanations
and recommended that:
1. Purchase of a replacement ice machine and storage bin for the Water
Division be approved on the basis of low bid from Storecraft, Inc.;
Corpus Christi, for $8,873. Storecraft has agreed to sell the ice
machine at the same price bid for one purchased after receipt of bids
for the Gas Division in August. The Water Division unit is not
operational. A smaller inadequate unit is now being rented.
2. A contract be approved with the Texas Department of Water
Resources for the Health Department to provide laboratory services
from September 1, 1981, through August 31, 1982. Under the
previous contract reimbursements from the State for analysis of
samples from the Coastal Bend area amounted to approximately
$36,000. Under the proposed contract, samples from the lower Rio
Grande Valley will also be analyzed, which will increase reimbur-
sements by about $16,000. An additional spectrophotometer, estimated
to cost $8,000 will be needed to enable existing staff to handle the
additional samples.
3. The contract with the Nueces County Rural Fire Prevention District
Number Two (Flour Bluff Volunteer Fire Department) be renewed for
the year September 1, 1981, through August 31, 1982. The District
would agree to not levy a tax, provide at least ten volunteer
firefighters at any fire occurring in the District, and provide
twenty-four hour dispatch service. In return, the City would pay
the District $68,000, provide radio communications equipment for the
District, and provide accident, worker's compensation and automobile
liability insurance for the District. The contract could be cancelled
by either party on thirty, days notice.
4. A contract for $7,000 be approved with the Japanese Art Museum for
professional services during 1981-82. The 1981-82 Budget provides
$7,000 for utility and routine maintenance costs in exchange for the
Museum being open six days per week, providing education
instruction, performing arts and crafts demonstrations, conducting
outreach programs, providing support for Sister City functions, and
assisting in tourist promotion. The Japanese Art Museum Board
originally requested $7,615 and later increased that request by $3,000
because of unanticipated air conditioning repairs.
5. The offer of Mr. John I). Hawn to donate to the City twelve
truckloads of large ledge rock valued at $8,400 be accepted. The
rock is suitable for landscaping purposes and could be used by the
Park Division to landscape parks and for riprap for erosion control.

6. Bids received on August 26, 1981 on the Airport Roof Repair project
be rejected. The project provided resurfacing essentially all
terminal, gatehouse, tower, concourse and mechanical building roof
areas. Further evaluation indicates that the main terminal roof is
blistered 20% to 40% but does not leak and does not need resurfacing
at this time. The tower roof and some other smaller areas need
resurfacing and a considerable number of roof expansion joints need
to be repaired. A recommendation to do the reduced scope of work,
either by contract or change order to existing contracts will be
submitted in the near future.
7. Plans for the construction of a concrete slab for Transit System Bus
Washing Facility be approved and bids be received October 21, 1981.
The work includes the construction of the concrete slab, the
approaches, the necessary utilities including water, air and electrical
to facilitate the installation of the bus washer at the Transit Yard
located at Winnebago and Sam Rankin. The bus washing equipment
has been purchased and is now stored at the Transit Yard and will
be relocated along Winnebago Street.
8. A contract for $110,749 be awarded to King Construction Company for
improvements to Swantner Park and $122,000 be appropriated for the
contract award, engineering, and related expenses. Improvements
include construction of 50 parking spaces at the north, 15 parking
spaces at the south, two fish cleaning facilities, a bicycle path,
concrete promenade and water lines. A portion of the work is related
to Hurricane Allen damages. Reimbursement of approximately $20,000
is anticipated from FEMA. The remaining work was included in the
1977 bond election.
9. Plans and specifications for the second phase of the Oso Wastewater
Treatment Plant be approved and bids be received November 18,
1981. This is the fifth and last in a series of contracts to rehabilitate
and expand the Oso System. This contract includes construction of
new units and the modification of existing units. Improvements
include renovation of two lift stations, installation or renovation of a
bar screen/grit removal unit, two mixing tanks, three reaeration
tanks, four clarifiers, two chlorine contact chambers, a post
thickener supernatant chamber, a sludge dewatering system, sludge
handling system, irrigation pump station, chlorine facility,
non -potable water system, two blower houses and miscellaneous yard
piping, paving, grading, fencing and electrical items. A contoured
earthen levee will be built around the plant for flood protection
during hurricanes and high tides. Construction is estimated at
$8,500,000 of which 75% will be paid by EPA and 25% will be from the
City's 1977 and 1972 bonds. Completion of this phase will enable the
plant to treat 16.4 million gallons per day.
Assistant City Manager Lontos briefly explained the work included in this
project and City Manager Townsend pointed out that this is the third largest
contract ever awarded by the City of Corpus Christi.
10. Emergency repairs to a 1974 model bulldozer by the authorized dealer,
B. D. Holt Company, for an estimated cost of $7,326 be noted. The
work includes repair of pinion seals, final drive, steering clutches
and brakes, oil leaks, and radiator. The bulldozer is used by the
Sanitation Division at the sanitary landfills.
11. A closed meeting be held to discuss pending litigation and possible
settlement of the case of Zamora Vs. City and Kremin.

City Manager Townsend suggested that since this is a closed meeting that
it be conducted after all other items on the agenda had been considered.
12. An industrial district agreement be approved with B.W.T. - Moore
Inc. for approximately 161 acres located on the west side of
Navigation Boulevard between UpRiver Road and the ship channel. A
letter of intent has been received to enter into an industrial district
agreement. Since the Company leased this tract from the Port
Authority in March, 1981, it was not in a position to participate in
the initial group of industrial district contracts. The company's
waterfront packaging facility is located on the tract. The company
develops, designs, and manufactures oil and gas processing equipment
and systems for offshore and onshore installations. The company's
corporate headquarters and manufacturing plant • are located inside the
city limits on Hereford Road between Agnes Street and Leopard
Street. The waterfront packaging facility prepares equipment
produced at the manufacturing plant for shipment.
Council Member Gulley inquired as to when this company had submitted a
letter of intent and City Manager Townsend replied that it was received •
yesterday and this company qualifies for exemption from annexation if they sign
an industrial district agreement.
Council Member Gulley stated that it was his understanding that the
deadline for submission of letters of intent to join the industrial district had
long since passed.
City Manager Townsend explained that this is a new concern that did not
have an opportunity to sign a letter of intent before the deadline and the
industrial districts are open to new firms.
13. Change Order No. 2 for $4,299 be approved to add the following
work from Alternates 1, 2, 3 and 4 to the contract for the Northwest
Branch Library.
(a) Underground Sprinkler System
(b) One flag pole
(c) Plastic faced doors
TOTAL:
$2,178.00
1,202.00
919.00
$4,299.00
The new contract price will be $420,763. No additional appropriation
is necessary. The recommended change order does not include
automatic doors ($7,037) and only one flag pole, rather than two
($976).
City Manager Townsend informed the Council that a groundbreaking
ceremony for the Northwest Branch Library might be in order and the date of
Wednesday, September 23, 1981 at 11:45 a.m. had been suggested. He stated
that the Northwest Businessman's Association and the Library Board would like
to be present for the ceremonies and inquired if this date was satisfactory for
the Council.

***********
Motion by Turner that the Minutes of the Regular and Special Council
Meetings of September 9, 1981 be approved as presented; seconded by Hawkins;
and passed unanimously.
Mayor Jones announced the hearing on the following subject.
On the request to amend the Platting
Ordinance to waive the sidewalk requirement
for Coles Industrial Subdivision. The
proposed subdivision contains 27.9 acres and
is located on County Road 48 east of
Highway 77 in the Five Points area outside
of the City. The developer is proposing to
construct a 40' wide street with curbs and
gutters only. The platting ordinance
requires construction of 4' concrete
sidewalks.
City Manager Townsend stated that in order for the sidewalk requirement
to be waived in Coles Industrial Acres, the Platting Ordinance would have to be
changed to provide exemptions for certain areas. He informed the Council that
no support had been submitted to them from the applicant except for a simple
request from the engineering company representing the subdivider to the effect
that the sidewalk requirement for Coles Industrial Acres be waived since this
will be an industrial tract and will have a minimum of pedestrian traffic and
that in lieu of the sidewalks, they propose to install a 7" caliche base for the
streets instead of the required 6" base.
City Manager Townsend pointed out that the subdivision is outside the
City limits which means that there is no control by the City, therefore, even
though the developer states that it will be developed as industrial property, it
could very easily be developed for single-family homes. He stated that for this
reason, the .City staff recommends against this waiver.

Mayor Jones called on the applicant to speak.
Mr. Lee Roy Cole, the subdivider, stated that the reason for his request
is to save money that would have to be spent on sidewalks that would probably
never be used. He stated that it was his understanding that the member of the
Planning Staff with whom he talked agreed with this waiver, particularly since
he had agreed to dedicate easements for a right-of-way for a drainage ditch.
He urged that the Council consider this sidewalk waiver because they have
agreed to donate 4.95 acres for the easement.
Council Member Dumphy recalled that a similar situation had been
considered by the Council some time ago but' questioned the Staff as to what
the action was.
City Manager Townsend stated that he recalled the case but could not
remember what the Council's action had been on the sidewalk waiver request.
Assistant City Manager Lontos stated that at the time those cases were
considered, the Council granted three waiver requests but did not amend the
ordinance and the subdivisions involved were Whelan Industrial Subdivision,
Sedwick Industrial Subdivision and Sun Belt Industrial Subdivision and that
other than these three waivers, all other industrial subdivisions have been
required to have sidewalks.
Council Member Kennedy inquired if an industrial district really needs a
sidewalk.
City Manager Townsend stated that the City's Industrial Park has
sidewalks and if a subdivision does not have sidewalks, there is really no way
for people to even get out of their cars. He reminded the Council that Nottarb
Subdivision, which is an industrial park, had been constructed without
sidewalks and the developer even constructed a fence right on the street
without considering a setback requirement.
Council Member Zarsky inquired of Mr. Cole if he would put in his deed
restrictions the fact that he would not construct a fence along the street.
Mr. Cole indicated that he will agree to sign such a deed restriction in
regard to fences.

City Manager Townsend reiterated that this area lies outside the City
limits; it has no City controls and no zoning restrictions; and if this is
approved, then he would suggest that the Platting Ordinance be changed so
that other subdividers can have the same consideration. He pointed out that
the three subdivisions on which the sidewalk waiver was granted were inside
the City and were under the control of the City zoning ordinance.
Mr. Cole then questioned why he was being asked to grant an easement
for a future drainage ditch, noting that he felt that the drainage ditch was
much larger than necessary.
Mr. Lontos agreed that there will be a very large drainage ditch that will
be located adjacent to this tract of land.
Council Member Dumphy inquired of Mr. Cole if he had agreed to dedicate
the easement for the drainage ditch and Mr. Cole replied that he had agreed
with the understanding that the sidewalk waiver would be granted.
Council Member Zarsky stated that although he sympathizes with the
developer, he still felt that there should be some way to have some movement of
pedestrian traffic and that sidewalks should be installed at least on one side of
the street in the subdivision.
Mr. Cole indicated that if the sidewalk waiver is not granted, he would be
hesitant to dedicate the necessary easement.
City Manager Townsend suggested that the Council consider this whole
matter noting that this subdivision is being constructed just outside the City
limits, possibly Robstown water will be used and apparently, the subdivision is
being developed so that the tenants can avoid paying City taxes. He strongly
recommended that this subdivision be considered for annexation to avoid future
problems.
Council Member Kennedy inquired about Mr. Cole's opinion of annexation
and Mr. Cole stated that he did not feel that this should be a part of this
discussion.
Mayor Jones inquired about the kinds of companies that have purchased
Lots in this subdivision and Mr. Cole stated that the following types of
companies have agreed to purchase lots: a machine shop, a welding company, a
concrete slab foundation company, a company that builds vessels for oilfields,
three lots sold for investment purposes, and two lots sold to another property
owner.

City Manager Townsend inquired if these are new companies or if they are
moving to establish businesses outside the City limits.
Mr. Cole stated that although he supports the City of Corpus Christi, he
cannot agree to be annexed by choice.
Motion by Zarsky that the hearing be closed, seconded by Turner, and
passed unanimously.
Motion by Zarsky that this matter be tabled for two weeks in order "to
provide time for Mr. Cole to consider a possible annexation; seconded by
Hawkins.
Council Member Gulley inquired if land that is contiguous to the City • can
be annexed by contract and City Manager Townsend stated that it could and
the land would be annexed with "R -1B" zoning unless the Council agrees to
prezone the property.
Council Member Dumphy pointed out that Mr. Cole is just requesting a
sidewalk waiver; the City Manager has mentioned annexation; and two weeks
from now, the applicant may agree to the annexation and then the Council, will
still have to make the decision on sidewalks.
Mayor Jones called for the vote on the motion and it passed as follows:
Jones, Turner, Kennedy and Zarsky voting, "Aye"; Dumphy, Gulley, and
Hawkins, voting "NO.
*********
Mayor Jones announced the public hearings on two zoning applications.
City Manager Townsend announced the public hearing to amend Article 31,
Newly Annexed Territory, by amending Section 31-5 by adding thereto one new .
subsection to be numbered 3]-5.32 setting forth a zoning classification of
Planned Unit Development -2, "PUD -2", for a residential development on 113.98
acres located at the northwest quadrant of the intersection of Yorktown Road
and South Staples Street when annext to the City of Corpus Christi.
City Manager Townsend stated that this is called Buckingham Estates and
the Staff recommends approval of the PUD -2 overlay.
Chief Planner Larry Wenger displayed a plat of the property and explained
that this is an ordinary subdivision with the exception that the owner is
attempting to develop this with private streets and, if the area is annexed, the
owners will still have to maintain the streets. He explained that the reason for
•
rtes
Aar Council Meeting
—..ptember 16, 1981
Page 11
•
the request for PUD -2 zoning is because the _City does not accept private
streets.
Mr. Wenger continued by informing the Council that the Planning
Commission heard this case the previous evening and recommended approval.
City Manager Townsend explained to the Council the different approaches
available through PUD -2 zoning and the different kinds of plans that can be
devised under this zoning.
City Manager Townsend stated that the question of water and sewer lines
and annexation will be before them in two weeks and there are substantial
problems with this.
Mayor Jones called for comments from the audience on this subject.
Mrs. Pauline Clarke--tn.quired about the consequences if in a number of
years there will be a chance that these streets will revert back to the City for
maintenance.
City Manager Townsend stated that if the, agreement between the owner
and the developer disintegrated or became invalid through some court action, it
is possible that the City would be responsible for the streets but they could
either have them removed or could decide to maintain them.
Mrs. Clarke continued by inquiring about the result if a fire should occur
and the houses burned because a fire truck could not get into the area and
asked if the City would be liable.
Chief Planner Wenger explained that the developer is planning to have
emergency entrances with keys to the gates.
City Manager Townsend pointed out that this would be very hazardous if
there is a need for a fire truck to enter the area because they would not have
the key in the right place at the right time.
Mr. Gene Urban, Urban Engineering, representative of the applicant,
stated that the fire trucks could get through the emergency entrances without
damaging the trucks. He stated that there is plenty of turning room on the
streets because the cul-de-sacs are the same as in other subdivisions. He
assured the Council that the only purpose in requesting the PUD -2 zoning was
to provide security of an enclosed type of development. He stated that other
city regulations will be complied with.

881-8, Corpus Christi Industrial Commission, from "B-4" General Business
District to "I-2" Light Industrial District on a portion of Lot 6R, Gulf Addition,

City Manager Townsend stated that both the Planning Commission and. the
Planning Staff recommend denial of the "I-2" zoning but in lieu thereof that a •
special permit be granted. He explained that• the lessee plans to lease this
building for the purpose of assembling, warehousing and shipping of page -pack
products and accessories. • •

City Manager Townsend pointed out that this subject has been discussed at
length by the Council and inquired as to what the Council would like for the
Staff to prepare for this discussion. He inquired if they would like to have
pictures of subdivisions constructed with sidewalks and possibly pictures of
subdivisions without sidewalks and the Council indicated their concurrence.

Mayor Jones announced the public hearing on the proposed annexation of
certain areas immediately adjacent to the City.
City Manager Townsend explained that the Planning Department has
submitted their recommendations to the Council for annexation of these areas;
:his is one public hearing that is required; additional public hearings, one for
each area, must be conducted in the area proposed to be considered for
annexation. He stated that two of these were conducted the previous evening
and two additional hearings will be conducted on Thursday night..
City Manager Townsend referred to the description and maps of the areas
provided the Council and suggested that slides be show of the area. (NOTE:
descriptions and service plans for the various areas, "A", "8", "C", and "D"
are attached to the Minutes and made a part hereof.)
Chief Planner Wenger displayed slides of the areas proposed for annexation
and explained the kinds of businesses and buildings that are included in the
areas.
City Manager Townsend interjected to inform the Council that Wood River
Subdivision is under contract with the City of Corpus Christi for annexation in
1983, but if the Council should decide to annex it prior to that date, possibly
this could legally be accomplished.
Mayor_Jones expressed the opinion that the Council should abide by the
contract for annexation in 1983.
Discussion followed on various aspects of the proposed annexation.
Mayor Jones called for comments from members of the audience on the
proposed annexation.
Mr. Victor Penuel, 730 St. Pius, stated that he was speaking on behalf of
the Taxpayers' Association and expressed their support of the proposed areas
to he annexed. He stated that hopefully, City services will be provided 'the
areas annexed as soon as possible.
Mr. Gary Giles, 4522 Weiskopf Lane, stated that he was speaking on behalf
of Mr. Putt Hill of Tule Lake Industrial Park, which is proposed for annexation
in area "C". He assured the Council that he and his client are not opposed to
annexing area "C". He informed the Council that the past spring, the Tule
Lake Industrial Park owner submitted a letter of intent to join the industrial
district even though the park did not receive full City services. He noted that
ttes
ilar Council Meeting
acember 16, 1981
Page 14
the obvious intent in creating industrial districts was to encourage industries to
pay in lieu of taxes under the contract rather than full City taxes and they
would be exempt from annexation for a seven year period. He explained that a
small industrial park such as Tule Lake has a problem in that their industrial
district taxes would be more than regular taxes due to the fact that property is
leased in this park. He summarized by stating that they would like to sign an
industrial district agreement provided they are able to persuade their tenants to
pay their portion of the in lieu of taxes. Mr. Giles then proposed that this
park be allowed to form an industrial district by execution of a contract. They
would like to have it delayed long enough for the owner of the park to
negotiate with the tenants so that they could pay a portion of the taxes. He
stated that they hope to have this worked out if the Council concurs before
annexation is in effect. .
Mayor Jones commented that at the time industrial districts were approved
by the Council, a certain date was established by which time a letter of intent
to join an industrial must be submitted. He stated that he has no problem with
opening this up again at this time for the Jess Edwards Company to sign an
industrial district contract.
Further discussion followed and Mayor Jones requested that Mr. Giles
submit a written proposal to the Council to be acted on as soon as possible
prior to the annexation election.
City Manager Townsend also urged that this proposal be submitted quickly
before the annexation election is called. .
Mr. Giles stated that he and his client are ready to sign the contract but
Mr. Hill is attempting to negotiate with his lessees.
Mr. Putt Hill addressed the Council and stated there are problems with his
tenants. He stated that he would go along with this plan and he would give his
tenants 90 days notice that if they did not plan to contribute to the in lieu of
taxes, he would ask them to terminate their leases.
Mr. Hill informed the Council and the City Manager that the school
district's valuation of the property in question was approximately $600,000,
which included land and buildings.
City Manager Townsend pointed out that at the very maximum, even if the
property is worth $1,000,000, the maximum payment would not exceed $12,000
and if fifteen tenants are involved, they would only have to pay about $800.

The Council indicated they would consider an industrial district agreement
with Tule Lake Industrial Park if a proposal was submitted as soon as possible.
Mrs. Pauline Clarke, speaking for the League of Women Voters, stated that
this organization supports annexation of all developed areas adjacent to the City
which are receiving all or a substantial. amount of City services. Mrs. Clarke
noted that with the increasing development in the fringe areas, more demands
are placed upon the City for services while its economic base is declining. She
pointed out that most of the City's income is derived from property taxes and
sales taxes, both of which can be collected only within the City limits and while
fringe areas continue to grow, not only do we have a loss of property in sales
taxes but revenue sharing funds are also lost because they are based on such
criteria as population and tax efforts.
Mrs. Clarke continued her presentation by explainingthat a financial
burden is placed upon City residents when a large number of persons earn
their living and make daily use of City facilities but do not share in the tax
load. Mrs. Clarke stated that the City's residents' also pay user's fees for
many of the services and although those outside the City may pay higher user
fees, the cost to provide these services are higher than the cost to provide
those same services inside the City. She pointed out that homeowners within
the City are already bearing an unequal share of the tax load with a steady
increase in the cost to provide City services brought on by inflation. She
summarized by stating that the League of Women Voters believe this City's tax
base is rapidly expanding beyond the City limits and there must be a means for
the City to reabsorb it and they are of the opinion that those who use City
facilities whose jobs and well beings are dependent upon the City should be a
part of the City and share its problems and they, therefore, support
annexation of those developed areas near or adjacent to the City which are
receiving all or a substantial amount of City services.
Mr. Ralph Skinner stated that he resides on Callicoate Road and that he is
not opposed to annexation but inquired as to whether the City has a service
plan for Suburban Acres which is where he resides.
City Manager Townsend explained that the one commitment should be water
service for Suburban Acres but in terms of capital expenditures, this would
require a bond issue.

Mr. Tom Utter, Assistant City Manager, stated that water service is
available to serve houses, however, most do not have water. He stated that
the staff is proposing that water service will be provided in 21 years and other
basic services will begin as soon as possible.
Mr. Skinner stated that he is a member of the Violet Water Supply
Company.
City Manager Townsend pointed out that the Violet Water contract is very
strict in that it is for rural purposes only and nit is not for any kind of
commercial or residential development use.
Mr. Skinner stated that all of the houses in Suburban Acres #2 are being
served with water from the Violet Water Company and City Manager Townsend
indicated that this should be investigated.
Mr. Steven Zaleski, 13716 Suntan, spoke in regard to the service plan for
Padre Island.
City Manager Townsend assured him that Police and Fire protection will be
provided immediately but the facility will not be provided for some time. He
stated that it is the staff's recommendation that a facility for public safety to
serve Padre Island be included in the next bond issue.
Mr. Zaleski expressed appreciation to the Council, the staff, and in
particular, to City Manager Townsend for the cooperation the residents of Padre
Island have received.
Mr. Benny Benavides, 2421 Cleo Street, expressed support of annexation
of these outlying areas.

ANNEXATION AREAS
The boundaries and significant features of the areas proposed to be annexed
are as follows:
Area A (Tracts 1-4) - Saratoga
The commercial and industrial areas along Saratoga Boulevard from
Weber Road to one-half mile west of Ayers Street serve customers inside
the City, depend on City for all support, utilities and services, and
are simply a part of Corpus Christi. By being just outside the City,
they avoid sales tax, property tax, and regulatory ordinances. The
areas include Nottarb Subdivision with access from Weber; business and
industrial uses on the land which was a part of Cabaniss Field; and the
frontage along Saratoga west of Ayers.
Area B
1) (Tracts 1-3) - Clarkwood
The area involved includes the land between Clakrwood Road, the Clarkwood
Ditch and McGloin Road; the San Juan Subdivision; and the area along the
south aide of Highway 44 westward to just west of the extension of Rand
Morgan Road. The City, with County assistance, installed sanitary sewers
in the San Juan Subdivision, partially financed with tax supported City bonds.
2) (Tract 4) - Suburban Acres
The area between Callicoatte Road (FM #1694) and the Missouri Pacific
railroad tract south of Lon Hill Plant to the south boundary line of
Suburban Acres. This subdivision is occupied with several single-family
residential structures. Suburban Acres subdivision was in existence prior
to the 1962 annexation and was outside the City's extraterritorial juris-
diction, thus this subdivision was not required to provide utility services
even though it is a legally platted subdivision. Most lots do not have
water service.
3) (Tracts 5-8) - FM 624
The Cenizo Canyon Subdivision to the west of Calallen Townsite; the com-
mercial and residential growth south and north of FM 624 (the Orange Grove
Highway) and west of SH #77. including the Robstown Riverside Hospital;
Valley View Subdivision, Rio Lado Acres, River Hill, Riverside Acres,
Northwest Heights, McIntyre Place; Riverview Tracts, Quail Valley,
Holiday Mini -Ranch Subdivision, Broad Acres, and Riverside.Suburban Tracts.
All of these subdivisions are generally located north of FM 624 along the
Nueces River. This development west of SH #77 and north of FM 624 along
the Nueces River presents regulatory problems such as storm runoff into
the Nueces River upstream from Corpus Christi's water intake system. The
2
River itself is already in the City. Most of this area is being served
by River Acres Water Supply Corporation which is purchasing water from
Nueces Improvement Water District No. 3 (Robstown District). However,
some of the area is served by Corpus Christi's water system.
4) (Tract 9) - Calallen
The San Carlos area is immediately east of Calallen Townsite and along the
Sharpsburg Road between the City limit line and the Nueces River floodplain.
The City, with County assistance, installed sanitary sewers in the San
Carlos Subdivision with part of the' cost advanced from tax supported bond
funds. The area 1s being served by City water. The development within this
area presents a regulatory problem which needs attention.
Area C (Tracts 1-13) - Interstate No. 37
This area includes land between the Nueces River, the existing City limits,
the Allison Wastewater Treatment Plant, McKinzie Road, Carbon Black
Plant Road, and a line 500 feet north of IH 137 from Turkey Creek to the
east line of the C.K. Paving facility. The area also includes properties
north and south of Up River Road from C. K. Paving operation westward to
Nueces Bay Boulevard, which have not entered into industrial district
contracts with the City. The existing trunk sewer from the Allison Waste-
water Plan provides sewer services to the western portion of this area
and can be extended to other areas in the western portion when customer
demand and readiness to pay front foot costs develop. Various commercial
and industrial activities within these areas that have not entered into
industrial district contracts are being served by City services without
participating in the cost of those services.
Area D - Padre Island
The areas that are subdivided and where construction of the physical improve-
ments have been completed on Padre Island are recommended for annexation.
All improvements have been constructed to approved City standards.
