$18,000 is recommended for the contract award and related expenses
from the Airport Fund. The low bid of $16,026.44 by E. M. Castillo
Roofing is not recommended because the required bid security was not
submitted.
Mayor Jones pointed out that Mr. John Lummus of Sechrist-Hall Roofing
Company had assisted the City a great deal by making suggestions to change
the specifications in order to effect -a savings for the City. He suggested that
a letter of appreciation be sent to Mr. Lummus and Council Member Gulley
stated that Mr. Hollis Porcher of that company had also been instrumental in
this effort and suggested that a copy of the letter be sent to him.
2. A revocable easement be granted to Del Mar College for installing
underground electrical ducts and chilled water lines in Kosar Street

proposed on the campus.

Transportation be approved accepting the responsibility for

the process of approving it; they have indicated that it is in order; and
presented copies to the Council.

bonded indebtedness, and Acting City Manager Briones explained that the City
is still limited to 684/$100 of valuation for ad valorem taxes.
After a short discussion, all of the Council Members indicated their
concurrence with the listing of the items on the bond issue and the order in
which they had been placed.
Mr. Briones also stated that it is really not necessary for the ordinance to
be on three readings but it is listed as a first reading ordinance today.

Mr. James K. Lontos, P. E., Assistant City Manager, informed the Council
that this has been discussed with the new Airport Manager, Mr. Jerry Sealey.
He noted, however, that this is a perennial problem during Thanksgiving and
Christimas which are peak travel periods of the year. He stated that the Staff
will have a report from the Airport Manager soon.
Mayor Jones stated it was his understanding that the expansion of the
parking lot would take care of the parking problem, and Mr. Lontos explained
that it is difficult to design a parking lot to take care of peak travel periods.
26.93 acres be acquired from Mr. Henry L. Tucker for future
expansion and protection of the 0. N. Stevens Water Treatment
Facility. Acquisition cost which is $428,500 including $2,500 for
closing costs is based on an independent appraisal completed by John
A. Erickson. Acquisition includes a two story brick single family
dwelling containing 3,654 square feet of living area along with a
swimming pool. This parcel is located on Hearn Road between Five
Points and Callicoatte Road. An appropriation of $428,500 is needed
from the Water System Bond Fund.
Council Member Gulley asked for an explanation of this item.
Assistant City Manager Lontos displayed a map and a transparency showing
the location of the land to be acquired for the expansion of the 0. N. Stevens
Water Treatment facility. He explained that the engineers have recommended
this acquisition for future ' expansion and this is the first step to acquire
property. He explained that the cost is based on the appraised valuation.
Council Member Zarsky expressed the opinion that this is a reasonable fee.
He asked about the use of the property including the house and the swimming
pool located there.
Mr. Lontos stated that he feels that the best thing would be to lease the
house until the land is actually needed for expansion.
Council Members Zarsky and Gulley suggested the possibility of not
purchasing the house, and Mr. Lontos noted that it would be an isolated piece
of property if it is not purchased.
Council Member Kennedy stated that it bothers him that the City is paying
so much for the property and none of it is recoverable.
Council Member Zarsky indicated that he also questioned the need to
purchase this very expensive land.
" Please note that this item was withdrawn from consideration.

Assistant City Manager Lontos reiterated that there is a need to acquire
this land for the future and the cost will just be increased if the City delays
on this.
Mr. Briones pointed out that if this land is not acquired now, the
developer will probably develop a subdivision on the land and it will be much
more expensive to acquire the land at a later date.
Council Member Hawkins stated that he felt that the Council needs more
alternatives to purchasing this expensive house and suggested that further
study be made of this matter.
Mr. Briones pointed out that there have been other discussions on this
subject and the decision to buy the property was made following those
discussions.
Mr. Lontos also pointed out that McCaughan & Etheridge Engineering firm
prepared the study and they recommended acquisition of this land. .
Mayor Jones suggested that this item be tabled until McCaughan &
Etheridge can arrive at some other alternatives to purchasing this expensive
property.
Mr. Lontos stated that he will discuss this with' the engineering firm and
have a report within the next week or so.
Acting City Manager Briones asked for an explanation of what the Council
meant by "alternatives".
Council Member Hawkins that he would just like to see alternative plans
with new maps.
A motion was made by Council Member Kennedy that item 7 be withdrawn
for two weeks; seconded by Council Member Hawkins; and passed unanimously.
8. Bids be received February 2, 1982 for two transit vans for the
mobility impaired. These vans are included in a capital assistance
grant from the Urban Mass Transportation Administration and
paid for 80% by the Federal government, 13% by the State and 7% by
the City. The vans will replace 1977 models with approximatgly1
miles on them. The vans will have seating for six passenOere ipjll
tiedowns for 3 wheelchairs.

10. Ordinance No. 16619 be amended to award the bid for 10 replacement
Transit buses to the Gillig Corp. and appropriate from the Transit
Bond Fund an additional $122,245.40. This bid Had been awarded to
the lowest bidder, Ontario Bus Industries, for $1,168,774.60.
However, Gillig Corp. filed a protest with the Urban Mass
Transportation Administration which funds 80% of this project on the
basis that their bid was actually the lowest bid since Ontario's bid
did not include an extended warranty on the engines and
transmissions, which Gillig had included as required by the City's
original specifications, and since a 10% penalty should be added to
Ontario's bid under the "buy -America" provision. UMTA upheld the
protest indicating that the City had the option to award the contract
to Gillig Corp. or to rebid the project. Staff recommends the award t�
Gillig to minimize the risk of increased project costs. The $1,291,020
is within project budget and below original estimates.
11. Bids be received Janary 19, 1982 for replacement of 4 to 5 cubic yard
dump bodies for the Water Division (2), Wastewater Services Division

Perrin, Mote and Barnett) be appointed to audit the July 31, 1980,
Section 15 report (FARE) required by the Department of
Transportation, Urban Mass Transit Administration, for a fee not to
exceed $1,500. The audit is a requirement for the receipt of
operational and capital assistance grants.
14. A public hearing be held January 20, 1982 t� consider Athena
Cablevision of Corpus Christi, Inc. request for a converter rental,
sale, and maintenance rate. Athena has requested that a rate be
established in anticipation of the completion of Phase I of the cable
system rebuild expanding channel capacity from 12 to 26 by May 1,
1982.
Council Member Kennedy stated that he would like to have an updated
report on Athena Cablevision as to whether or not they are meeting their
obligations according to the franchise ordinance and Mr. Briones assured him
that a report will be provided.
15. A letter of agreement accepting the donation of the Merriman-Bobys
House and $3,500 in cash from Mr. Morris Lichtenstein be approved
subject to the City removing the house from its present location
within six months and assuming total liability while it remains in its
present location.

be employed to represent the City in the pending litigation, styled

Registration and Redistricting. He read the resolution urging that the Charter

Council Member Kennedy informed Mr. Pulliam that a lawsuit had been filed
and the method of election will be tied up in court, possibly for many years.
He noted that certain segments of the City's population have filed suit which
prevented the City Council from taking action to change the election method.
City Secretary Read pointed out that the State's statutes require runoff
elections for Cities of over 200,000 population.
Council Member Hawkins commented that he is taking no position on this
matter because of his membership in the Corpus Christi Coalition of Black
Democrats and as a Member of the City Council.
Mayor Jones expressed the opinion that the Council could still call for a
Charter Amendment Election even though a lawsuit has been filed.
Council Member Zarsky noted that the City does have options, and if the
plaintiffs have any desire to reason on the matter, he would be willing to
discuss the matter with them if the Court will allow the Council to do this.
City Attorney J. Bruce Aycock stated that one of the plaintiff's attorneys
approached him for that purpose and asked if they could discuss this with the
attorney employed by the City.
On another matter, Mayor Jones referred to an invitation from Mayor
Henry Cisneros of San Antonio for a delegation of the Council to go to San
Antonio on Thursday, February 4, to have lunch with the City Council,
following which a presentation on the Corpus Christi Port will be made.
