The City Council then went into closed session at 2:10 p.m. * Council Member Herbert L. Hawkins arrived at the meeting sometime 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. Utes jular Council Meeting September 16, 1981 Page 3 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". ********** Minutes Regular Council Meeting September 16, 1981 Page 4 Mayor Jones noted that the following proclamations had been issued: "SISTER BERNARD MARIE DAY" - September 15, 1981; "DIES Y SEIS DE SEPTIEMBRE DAY" - September 16, 1981; "DIA DEL DIEZ Y SEIS DE SEPTIEMBRE" - September 16, 1981; "KISS YOUR BABY DAY" - September 17, 1981; and "CONSTITUTION WEEK -September 17 - 23, 1981. ********** 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. rtes ,pular Council Meeting September 16, 1981 Page 5 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. Minutes Regular Council Meeting September 16, 1981 Page 6 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. ti lutes gular Council Meeting September 16, 1981 Page 7 Motion by Dumphy that the ceremonies be conducted at the time and date scheduled as listed above; seconded by Kennedy; and passed unanimously. City Manager Townsend informed the Council that any monies not spent for the construction of the Northwest Branch Library could be used for the purchase of books and other materials. There were no comments from the audience on the City Manager's Repo-its:— Motion epo'r`tsMotion by Zarsky that the City Manager's Reports, items 1 through 13, with the exception of item 11, be approved; seconded by Kennedy; arid passed unanimously. *********** 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. Minutes Regular Council Meeting September 16, 1981 Page 8 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. • ttes ular Council Meeting september 16, 1981 Page 9 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. Minutes Regular Council Meeting September 16, 1981 Page 10 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. "'�utes zlar Council Meeting -ember 16, 1981 Page 12 _ Motion by Turner that the hearing be closed, seconded by Kennedy and passed unanimously._ • City Manager Townsend summarized by stating that this action is to amend the zoning ordinance so that when this subdivision is annexed, it will be zoned "R -1B" with a PUD -2 overlay. Motion by Zarsky that this amendment be adopted, seconded by Dumphy; and passed unanimously. • City Manager Townsend announced the public hearing on Application No. 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, located south of La Armada 1 west of Ayers Street. 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. • • No one spoke in regard to this application. . Motion by Turner that the hearing, be closed, seconded by •Zarsky and passed unanimously. - , . Motion by Turner that the zoning of "I-2". be denied but in lieu thereof that a special permit be granted for the proposed use; seconded by Zarsky; and passed unanimously. • • Mayor Pro Tem Turner inquired if the Council might wish to consider waiving sidewalks in industrial subdivisions.' She then moved that this subject be placed on the agenda for discussion; seconded by Zarsky; and passed unanimously. _ 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. linutes egular Council Meeting September 16, 1981 Page 13 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. ites ,ular Council Meeting September 16, 1981 Page 15 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. Minutes Regular Council Meeting September 16, 1981 Page 16 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.

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.
