Allegiance to the Flag of the United States was led by Mayor Pro
Tem Betty Turner.
City Secretary Bill G. Read called the roll of required
charter officers and verified that the necessary quorum was

mations: "ALPHA DELTA KAPPA WEEK" - October 10-16, 1982; "DAY IN
COURT FOR LEGAL SECRETARIES" - October 14, 1982.

Mayor Jones announced the scheduled bid opening on the
following Engineering Project:
Bali Drive Street Improvements. This is a 1977 Voluntary
Paving Project and provides for the reconstruction of Bali
Drive from Mediterranean Drive northerly to the main Tropic
Isles channel.
Mr. James K. Lontos, P.E., Assistant City Manager, opened
bids from the following companies: A-1 Plumbing; C & C Indus-
trial Builders, Claude Chapman Construction Co.; Hannes
Construction Co.; Heldenfels Brothers, Inc.; Isles Construction
Co.; King Construction Co.; M & M Construction Co.; Maverick
Construction Co.; Mormac Construction Co.; and A. Ortiz Paving
and Construction Co. Mr. Lontos pointed out to the Council that
the M & M Construction Co. proposal did not include the legal
portion nor was the bid signed; therefore, it could be considered
an irregular bid. He verified that all of the bidders had
submitted the required bid security bond and disclosure state-
ments, with the exception of M & M Construction Co.
Mayor Jones expressed appreciation to all of the companies
that had submitted bids and stated that they would be tabled for
48 hours, pursuant to the requirements of the City Charter, and
referred to the staff for tabulation and recommendation.

Mayor Jones stated that the Council would return to one of
the subjects listed on the morning Workshop agenda pertaining to
the status of proposals for a new City Hall.
City Manager Ed Martin provided background information by
stating that several months ago, the Council began discussions on
the possibility of a public/private partnership for new City Hall
facilities; seven proposals were submitted September 1, 1982 with
.nutes
egular Council Meeting
October 13, 1982
Page 3
varying types of proposals for a new City Hall; the Council
engaged Laventhol-Horwath firm to make an analysis of the
proposals, but their assignment is not yet completed. He noted
that based on Laventhol-Horwath's preliminary analysis, Mr. Bill
Hennings prepared a memorandum in order to make comparisons of
the proposals.
Mr. Martin continued by pointing out to the Council that if
the City decides to do nothing to acquire a new City Hall and
continues to lease space, this would be the most expensive
position to take due to the fact that the need for office space
would grow by approximately 5,000 square feet each two years
beginning in 1984; the City would continue to lease space in
other buildings; and it is expected that rental rates in the
private market would increase 4% annually. Mr. Martin stated he
was of the opinion that some action should be taken, and the next
step would be to select a private partner after the Council makes
the decision as to whether this is a worthwhile proposal. He
informed the Council that three possible steps could be taken as
follows: 1) Select the best of the proposals and ask those
firms to submit detailed responses on their proposal; 2) Select
one from the five that the staff and Laventhol-Horwath feels
would meet the needs the City; or 3) Ask each company to make a
i hour presentation to the Council, following which the Council
could make the decision as to which one should be accepted. Mr.
Martin stated that his personal recommendation was to hear the
presentations and then let the staff make a recommendation.
Mayor Pro Tem Turner stated that she felt that it would be
too costly to do nothing at this time. Mrs. Turner then made a
motion to proceed with the plan for the public/private project to
expand city office facilities; seconded by Council Member Gulley;
and the motion passed unanimously by those present and voting.
Mayor Pro Tem Turner then inquired if the City Manager felt
it would be more cost efficient to allow the public/private
partnership or build the new City Hall with future bond funds.
She then suggested that the list be narrowed to two or three
inutes
.egular Council Meeting

firms that seem to have the proposal that would best meet the
City's needs and then initiate negotiations with those three
firms.
City Manager Martin reiterated that seven proposals were
received; five of them meet the City's needs; three of them seem
to have more financial backing and more experience; and the
question at this time is whether or not the Council should hear
presentations from all five or from the three. Mr. Martin also
expressed the opinion that negotiations should not begin until
the final selection has been made for the one with whom the City
will deal.
Council Member Zarsky stated that he was of the opinion that
the Council should hear presentations from the firms that are
more eminently qualified, specifically the five firms that the
staff and the consultant feel are qualified.
Council Member Hawkins inquired if the Council should not
have public input in regard to this, possibly after the presen-
tations. He stated that he felt that the public should be
allowed to speak on the matter before a recommendation is made to
select one firm's proposal, and Mayor Jones agreed.
Council Member Zarsky also agreed that the public should be
able to speak as to whether or not the City should even build a
City Hall by this method.
Council Member Gulley stated that he felt the response was
very good since seven proposals were submitted; he hoped that the
Council would decide to go ahead with the project; and he also
would like to see it get started during this term of office. He
expressed the opinion that he would prefer to have three
presentations rather than seven, but at most, five would be the
maximum that should be made since two proposals were clearly not
responsive to the City's needs. He inquired about the effect on
the budget and the tax rate for the next fiscal year, but noted
that they certainly should be aware that consideration should be
given to the efficiency of City government if all offices are
located in the same building.

City Manager Martin stated that the project should not have
any effect on the budget next year because it would probably be
at least two years before it became a reality, but the amount of
increase in the tax would be approximately 1' to 114. The
Council continued to discuss the costs and the various alterna-
tives included in Mr. Hennings' memorandum. A motion was made by
Council Member Gulley that the Council hear presentations by the
three firms that are recommended by the consultant and the staff;
seconded by Council Member Hawkins; and passed by the following
vote: Jones, Turner, Dumphy, Gulley and Hawkins voting "aye";
Zarsky voting "no"; Kennedy "absent."
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Mayor Jones called for actions of the City Council by motion
on the following items:
1. A replacement 30 horsepower trenching machine be
purchased for the Park Division from Case Power &
Equipment Co., on the basis of low bid for $11,885.
Six bid invitations were issued and three bids were
received. Price comparison shows an increase of 9.5%
since the last purchase in August, 1981. A 1976 model
trencher will be replaced. Money for the trencher has
been encumbered from the 1981-82 Budget.
2. Twelve months supply agreement for 2615 meter boxes and
lids, 800 extensions, 1095 valve box lids, 200 manhole
rings and covers and 10 inlet frames and grates to be
used by Water, Gas, Street and Wastewater Divisions be
approved based on low bid meeting specifications to
Corpus Christi Pipe & Supply for $104,710.85. Five bid
invitations were issued and three bids were received.
Prices have increased approximately 18% since the
previous contract of September, 1981. The apparent low
bid submitted by Alamo Iron Works on some of the items
did not meet the size requirements of the specifica-
tions.
3. A request to close a portion of a 10 foot wide utility
easement along the south lot line of Lot 1, Block 15,
Country Club Estates Unit 5 be denied. The applicant
proposes to place a carport alongside this property
which is in violation of the existing 25 foot building
setback line and the Zoning Ordinance and which would
encroach approximately 5 feet into the existing 10 foot
utility easement. The owner is attempting to replat
and to have the Board of Adjustment address the vio-
lations, however because of the location of a 4" gas
line in the easement and other future unforeseeable
needs for the easement, denial of the request is
recommended.
4. Accepting the Southern Street Improvements from Ocean
Drive to South Alameda Street and authorizing final
payment of $31,435.41 to King Construction Company for
a total of $276,929.85, and granting a 17 -day extension
inutes
.egular Council Meeting
October 13, 1982
Page 6
to supplement the original 70 working days due to extra
work and utility delays.
5. Authorizing expenditures not to exceed $5,000 from the
Support -of- the -Arts fund for staff and contractual
services performed in conjunction with the "Spanish Art
Tomorrow" exhibit in the Bayfront Plaza auditorium
beginning Friday, October 15, for a period of not less
than two weeks and not more than four weeks.
6. Urging the 70th Annual Conference of the Texas
Municipal League to adopt a resolution of support for
legislation to prohibit the location of nuclear or
chemical waste disposal sites within water supply
watersheds.
Mayor Jones called for comments from the audience on the
foregoing items.
Mr. Rocky Delano, 6534 Long Meadow, referred to item 3, a
request to close a utility easement in Country Club Estates Unit
5. Mr. Delano stated that he had paid a $100 fee for closure
request and a $350 fee to Urban Engineering for preparation of a
replat of his family's property. He stated that he would also
have to appear before the Board of Adjustment before the utility
easement can be utilized.
Council Member Hawkins inquired of Mr. Delano if he had made
arrangements to move the utilities in the easement, and Mr.
Delano stated that he was told that this was not necessary.
Council Member Hawkins then inquired if Mr. Delano planned to pay
the City for the easement.
Mayor Jones pointed out that the staff recommends that this
be denied.
City Manager Martin stated that that is because of the
zoning and the gas line that is located in the easement.
Assistant City Manager Lontos further explained by
displaying a transparency showing the easement in question which
is on Saratoga. He pointed out that there is a 25' building
line; the applicant plans the construction of a carport in that
building line; the plat does not show this; but the new plat
indicates that the carport will be constructed in that building
line and will extend 5' into the 10' utility easement which is in
violation of the zoning ordinance. He suggested that the carport
_nutes
_.egular Council Meeting
October 13, 1982
Page 7
be moved closer -to the house, but Mr. Delano stated that an 8'
brick wall is located there.
Mr. Lontos continued by stating that the easement may be
required in the future for major water lines or sewer lines to be
located on Saratoga, and that is one of the reasons the staff
recommends denial of this easement closure. He stated that the
staff has no problem with allowing the carport to built within
the building line. He pointed out to the Council that if an
easement is abandoned, the City loses all rights to it. He noted
that it would be possible to grant a revocable easement for this
purpose if the City retains the right to enter it in the future.
He stated, however, that title companies have a problem dealing
with property that has revocable easements.
Council Member Dumphy expressed the opinion that if this is
granted, it will establish a precedent and create additional
requests.
After further discussion, the Council indicated that they
concurred with the staff that the request to close the easement
should be denied.
A motion was made by Council Member Hawkins that items 1
thru 6 be approved as recommended; seconded by Council Member
Gulley; and passed unanimously by those present and voting.

Mayor Jones called for consideration of the ordinances.
Council Member Hawkins referred to ordinance "B" closing and
abandoning a utility easement in Nottarb Place Unit 3 and
suggested that the applicant should pay for such closures.
Mayor Jones informed Council Member Hawkins that he had
consulted with Mr. Lontos and pointed out that the property owner
originally dedicated this easement; the City did not pay for it;
and it seems reasonable that if the City does not need it that it
should revert back to the property owner at no cost.
Council Member Zarsky pointed out also that most developers
design their own layouts on property; they select the location of
the easements; the City agrees to the plan; and since the City
_nutes
.egular Council Meeting
October 13, 1982
Page 8
does not have any monetary interest in the easements, it would be
wrong to charge for the closings.
Reference was made to ordinance "F" closing the hearing on
the Spohn Hospital Area Street Improvements, and Council Member
Gulley stated that he did not attend the Spohn Hospital Area
Street assessment hearings and inquired if the property owners
are paying about the same as other projects.
Assistant City Manager Lontos replied that percentage wise
it is a little more, but the reason the assessments are greater
is because most of the property is zoned for commercial, profes-
sional office, or apartment use.
Council Member Gulley then referred to a letter the Council
had received from Mrs. J. B. Clark, who was an elderly lady
living on a fixed income who could not possibly pay for her
assessments. Discussion followed in regard to whether or not the
assessment has to be paid and Mr. Lontos explained that a lien
would be in effect against the property if they are not paid.
Mr. Lontos noted that Mrs. Clark's property is zoned "AB" and
that is the reason the assessment is so much.
Mr. Lontos displayed a transparency showing the proposed
Lawnview Street closing from Ayers to Booty and stated that the
staff recommends this closing for safety reasons. He then
pointed out the streets included in the project for improvements.
Mayor Jones expressed the opinion that there is a need for
the street improvements in that area and he felt that it would
enhance the entire neighborhood. He complimented the staff for
working out the parking problems and indicated that his primary
concern was the elderly property owners who do not have the money
to pay their assessments.
Council Member Gulley asked about improvements to Elizabeth
Street, and City Manager Martin stated that that street will be
improved at a later date in the next phase of this project.
Assistant City Manager Tom Utter stated that that portion
was included in the 1982 bond election. In a further reference
to this same ordinance, Mayor Pro Tem Turner inquired if the
mutes
.egular Council Meeting
October 13, 1982
Page 9
people affected were notified that this ordinance would be
considered at this time.
Mr. Lontos explained that a number of them had met with the
Engineering Staff and were aware that it was on the agenda.
Mayor Pro Tem Turner stated that one property owner had
indicated to her that it was her understanding that they would be
notified when the ordinance was to be considered. She then
suggested that the ordinance be on three readings.
City Manager Martin stated that he would prefer that the
ordinance be withdrawn than to have it on three readings.
Mayor Pro Tem Turner stated that she felt that some of the
small businesses would be very inconvenienced and possibly ruined
financially if their head -in parking is eliminated.
Mayor Jones commented that although there seemed to be a
great deal of opposition to this project, actually only 25% of
the people involved attended the public hearing.
Mayor Jones then referred to ordinance "G" which pertains to
the Calallen Drive street improvements. He noted that con-
struction has already started and asked how this was possible.
Assistant City Manager Lontos explained that this project is
a little different from the Spohn Street Improvement Project; it
is being constructed by the State Department of Highways and
Public Transportation; and the construction work under way at
this time is not on the actual street improvements that involve
the assessments, but are related to the street improvements.
Council Member Zarsky pointed out that this is not a
voluntary paving project, yet the City is forcing property owners
to pay assessments.
Mr. Lontos verified this statement.
Mr. Zarsky continued by recalling the incident during the
public hearing that involved an association of people who are
doing charity work, and who do not have a congregation or any
means of obtaining funds. He stated that he referred to PAX
Christi.
_nutes
_regular Council Meeting
October 13, 1982
Page 10
Council Member Gulley pointed out that he did not recommend
a waiver for Mrs. Clark and he did not think Mr. Zarsky should
recommend a waiver for PAX Christi. He pointed out that PAX
Christi is associated with the Catholic Church, but Mr. Zarsky
noted that they are an independent order and they have no method
of receiving funds from the Catholic Church.
Mayor Jones called for comments
ordinances.
Mr. David Jackson, 712 Elizabeth Street, representing Camp
Cleaners, informed the Council that the letter informing them of
the assessment hearing was sent to the previous owner who lives
in California and they did not receive it until the day of the
hearing and had no representative at the meeting. He stated that
they did not have a problem with the amount of the assessments,
but they do object to the elimination of the head -in parking. He
also expressed the opinion that their curbs are in good shape and
noted that at that particular corner, for safety purposes, a
traffic light should be installed. He urged that the head -in
from the audience on
the
parking be retained in front of the Camp
Cleaners Building.
Mayor Jones informed Mr. Jackson that the safety factor is
the reason for the recommended elimination of head -in parking and
noted that they must consider what is best for the majority of
the citizens.
Council Member Zarsky suggested that a driveway be allowed
to provide at least two parking spaces parallel on the property
for this location.
Mr. Jackson stated that he plans to lease the property known
as Mamacita's Restaurant for professional office use.
Mayor Pro Tem Turner pointed out that if this were a new
building, there would be a requirement for 27 parking spaces, and
Mr. Jackson explained that the office building would be designed
in conjunction with another building which does have the required
number of parking spaces.
Mr. Lontos stated that the staff feels that 3rd and
Elizabeth Streets will be major streets; therefore, the comment
.nutes
.egular Council Meeting
October 13, 1982
Page 11
about a traffic light by Mr. Jackson is a real possibility with
the expected increase in traffic. He stated that the staff still
recommends the elimination of head -in parking which would be even
more dangerous with the installation of a traffic light and the
expected increase in traffic.
Mr. Jackson then inquired about the length of time that the
streets will be torn up during construction, and Mr. Lontos
assured him that access will be provided to the property at all
times.
There were no further comments on the ordinances; City
Secretary Read polled the Council for their votes; and the
