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.

Mayor Jones commented that the City had a major parking problem at the airport over the holidays. Minutes Regular Council Minutes December 30, 1981 Page 4 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. inutes .<egular Council Minutes December 30, 1981 Page 5 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.

Minutes Regular Council Minutes December 30, 1981 Page 6 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 (1) and the Street Division (8) to be installed on cabs and chassis purchased near the end of the last fiscal year. 12.

Mr. J. Preston Pullam appeared before the Council in regard to Voter Registration and Redistricting. He read the resolution urging that the Charter be amended to a modified five single -member districts and four at -large positions as proposed by the League of Women Voters. He also urged that Council Members be elected by a plurality vote rather than having a runoff election. [inutes degular Council Minutes December 30, 1981 Page 9 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.

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.
