Mayor Jones explained that the City Council had met with the
County Commissioners Court to discuss appointments to the Port of
Corpus Christi and stated that they had agreed to convene in
closed session next Wednesday at 11:00 a.m. with the Regular
Council Meeting to begin at 2:30 p.m.
Mayor Jones then questioned the staff as to whether or not
bid openings were scheduled for that date.
City Manager Ed Martin explained that if bids are received
on that date, the City staff could open the bids at the scheduled
time of 2:00 p.m.

Mayor Jones called for consideration of an item from the
workshop meeting pertaining to IRB financing.
City Manager Martin explained that the staff had been
approached about the possibility of the City's issuing tax exempt
bonds for the development of a mobile home park. He pointed out
that this is not an issue that has come before this Council.
*Mayor Pro Tem Betty Turner and Council Member Cliff Zarsky
arrived at the meeting at 2:20 p.m.
Mr. Martin continued by requesting that the Council consider
the issuance of IRB's for a mobile home subdivision development.
Council Member Gulley stated that he will abstain from
discussion of this item because of a possible conflict of
interest. He then departed the Council Chamber.
Mayor Jones commented that IRB's should be allowed since
they are in accordance with the law and if the Council feels that
'is type of funding should be discontinued, it should be

directed to the governmental level which initiated IRB's. He
stated that the Council is well aware that there are inadequate
facilities for parking mobile homes; the need is critical in
Corpus Christi; and he expressed the opinion that this Council
should do something about encouraging this development.
Council Member Kennedy commented that if nothing is being
done in the private sector to develop mobile home parks, this
application would be advisable. He pointed out, however, that
the Council recently approved two tracts of land for mobile home
parks; Mayor Pro Tem Turner had informed the Council that there's
another park is planned; therefore, he did not feel that IRS's
should be used for this purpose.
Council Member Zarsky pointed out that the interest rate at
this time has improved a great deal from that which was in effect
a few months ago, and now there is very little difference between
the rate on commercial loans and that of IRB's.
Council Member Dumphy stated that he was of the opinion that
the Council had agreed that they would not consider any more
IRB's and reminded the Council that at the time this was
originally discussed, they established this financing for parti-
cular uses which did not include mobile home parks or
subdivisions. He expressed the opinion that the Council should
not consider any further financing through IRS's.
City Manager Martin stated that he understood that the
policy established by the Council, acting as the Housing
Financing Corporation, was they would not consider any more bonds
for housing for a period of six months at which time the policy
would be reviewed. He noted that the Council had limited IRB's
under the Corpus Christi Industrial Development Corporation to
hotels in the downtown area, but pointed out that he did not
think that the Council ever asked that there be no retail or
industrial projects funded, and mobile home parks would be in the
category of a business.
Council Member Dumphy reiterated that the Council should not
issue any additional IRB's of any kind.

A motion was made by Council Member Dumphy that the Council
adhere to the policy of not issuing any IRB's at this time on any
projects other than hotels in the downtown area; seconded by
Council Member Zarsky. Council Member Gulley stated that he
opposed IRB's, and that he would support the motion because it
would al least limit their use.
Mayor Pro Tem Turner stated that she would like to go on
record that she does not support the use of IRB's for any
purpose.
Mayor Jones called for the vote on the motion and it passed
as follows: Jones, Dumphy, Gulley, Kennedy and Zarsky voting
"aye"; Turner voting "no"; Hawkins "absent."

Mayor Jones referred to the Consent Agenda and called for
action of the Council by motion on the following items:
1. Approving the plans and specifications for the
Brookhaven/Five Points Area Sanitary Sewer Improvements,
Phase II, and authorizing the receipt of bids for this
project on February 2, 1983. The project will provide
extension of laterals in Hearn Road, Perry Lane, Rushing
Boulevard and Emory Drive.
2. The sale and relocation of seven (7) houses in the Bayfront
Science Park Area located at 1517 and 1523 N. Chaparral and
410, 412, 4121, 414 and 416 Resaca to the Magnificent Seven,
partnership for $6,000 be approved.
Mayor Jones inquired about the meaning of the name
Magnificent Seven, and Assistant City Manager James K. Lontos
explained that this referred to the seven houses in the project.
3. A partial release of conditions in the annexation agreement
dated February 24, 1972 between George S. Hawn Interests
and the City of Corpus Christi be approved. The release
pertains only to Lot 44, Block 1, Country Club Estates Unit
No. 31 and relates to conditions which have been met as the
result of platting, or will be met in compliance with the
City Code.
4. Authorizing an agreement providing for the payment of an
amount not to exceed $22,000 to the Port of Corpus Christi
Authority in order to participate in the funding of an
evaluation of the use of the Port of Corpus Christi by
shippers and consignees in the United States and Mexico to
be conducted by the firm of Booz -Allen and Hamilton, Inc.,
for approximately $85,000. The funds are available in the
Corpus Christi Industrial Development Corporation account.
5. Authorize bids be received to provide, install, maintain and
service an automatic teller machine to dispense cash to
authorized customers in the Corpus Christi International
Airport Terminal Building.

Council Member Kennedy expressed the opinion that the with a
particular bank referred to in Item 10 should have been let for
bids and asked about the details of how this particular one was
approved without going through the bidding procedure.
City Manager Martin explained that the previous advertising
contractor contacted the bank and made arrangements under the
provision of advertising services to provide for an automatic
teller machine at the Airport. He stated that the staff debated
about the proper procedure and the City staff arrived at the
decision that they should have a lease agreement with the bank
rather than considering it as a part of the advertising contract.
He stated that the staff had determined that an additional teller
machine could be handled at the Airport; therefore, Item 5 is a
recommendation that they go out for bids for the additional
facility. He stated that since a commitment had been made by the
advertising contractor with the First National Bank of Corpus
Christi, the staff felt that that agreement should be honored,
but the City will go out for bids on the second one. He
explained that the entire staff was aware of this, as well as the
Council, and since there was no action taken by the City, in his
opinion the lease with this particular bank should be honored.
He agreed that in the future they would go out for bids for such
facilities.
Assistant City Manager Lontos further explained that their
indication is that this teller machine would be utilized by their
bank customers, but it is possible that it could be programmed
for use with American Express, VISA, MasterCharge, etc.
Dr. Kennedy expressed the opinion that the number of people
who could utilize this bank's facilities would be a very small
percentage.
Mr. Ben Donnel, representing the First National Bank, stated
that at the present time the machine would be only for the First
National Bank customers of Corpus Christi. He stated that it is
conceivable that it could be programmed with banks that are
associated with them but that is not included in their plans at
Minutes

this time. He pointed out that the machine to be installed will
not generate any revenue, and that is why they felt it was an
advertising feature. He assured the Council that the commitment
was made in good faith with their interpretation that it is an
advertising feature.
Council Member Zarsky referred to Ordinance 6, which
appropriated $2,800 for replacement of a concrete driveway at
3601 Cypress and inquired about the reason the State Department
of Highways and Public Transportation specifications for
driveways were used rather than the usual city specifications.
Mr. Lontos explained that the State Department of Highways
and Public Transportation are using the City's standards now in
their specifications but at the time the Carroll Lane Project was
constructed, the specifications included State regulations. He
further explained that ordinarily the entity that was responsible
for the construction would have to repair the damage, but since
the project had been accepted by the City, the State Department
of Highways and Public Transportation feels that they cannot
perform the corrective measures since the City is in charge of
maintenance; therefore in this case, the City will be responsible
for making the needed repairs.
Mayor Pro Tem Turner stated that although she agrees that
this must be done for this particular property owner, she
inquired if this would not establish a precedent and the owners
of other similar type driveways might request the same
consideration.
Mr. Lontos agreed that this might be possible but stated
that the other driveways included in this project were not in the
same condition as this particular one and they did not expect any
further requests.
There were no further comments from the Council or members
of the audience on the ordinances; City Secretary Read polled the
Council for their votes and the following ordinances were
approved:

Mayor Jones then called for consideration of the items on
the Regular Agenda.
11. Bids be received January 25, 1983 for compressed natural gas
conversion and re -fueling equipment for 50 marked Police
patrol sedans.
City Manager Martin explained that this item is rather
complicated and requires some explanation. He stated that there
Minutes

Page 8
may be a question as to whether the City can save money by using
compressed natural gas conversion and refueling equipment. He
explained to the Council that several staff members on the
productivity management team had worked on this matter for some
time. He then introduced the members of the management
productivity team as follows: Mr. Bob Heil, Administrative
Assistant - Budget Office; Mr. Gene Clopton, Gas Division; Mr.
Kenneth Bung, Police Department; Mr. Mike Gordon, Park and
Recreation Department; Mr. Jim Riley, Water Division; Mr. E. M.
"Red" Issacks, Maintenance Services; Mr. Mel Sanchez, Street
Division; and Mr. Frank Henry, Maintenance Services.
Mr. Mark Gresham, Budget Director, addressed the Council and
explained that this project management team did all of the work
in reviewing the operation aspect and planned the operational
information. He stated that the vehicles that accumulate the
most mileage will be the ones to be considered for this
experiment. He explained that this is a dual fuel system with
natural gas and gasoline being utilized and explained how it
would work. He expressed the opinion that this would be a good
trial and in addition to saving fuel, the money for the gas would
go to the Gas Division to decrease the gas cost which would in
effect represent savings in the departments using the fuel and in
the Gas Division. He stated that they anticipate that 57 miles
could be driven on 6.4 gallons of natural gas and that the tanks
will be installed in the trunks of the vehicles. He stated that
the entire cost for conversion would be approximately $215,000
and the staff feels that the investment could be returned in
about 11 years.
Mayor Pro Tem Turner inquired if any other cities are using
this fuel, and Mr. Gresham stated that San Antonio uses propane
gas and a number of other cities are using compressed natural gas
to effect a very large savings to these cities.
Mr. Martin pointed out that the City needs cooperation,
support and complete understanding by the employees who will use
*he new type of fuel.

Council Member Dumphy suggested that if this is successful
and there are convenient areas in the City where the gas could be
dispensed, it might be possible for the City to provide gas for
other large companies, such as Central Power & Light and
Southwestern Bell.
Council Member Gulley mentioned the safety factors, and Mr.
Gresham assured the Council that they will be safe because the
compressed natural gas device will be attached in the trunk and a
shield will be provided.
Mr. M. H. Issacks explained that each tank weighs about 120
pounds; the method has been tested thoroughly; and the staff
feels that it is quite safe.
Chief Bung of the Police Department stated that a similar
type fuel system had been installed in the Chief of Police's car
and it had been very successful. He also stated that the Police
Officers are aware of this fuel conversion and they are very
enthusiastic about the use.
Mr. Gresham elaborated on the savings and stated that they
anticipate that within 12 months the savings would represent
$90,000 to $100,000.
Mr. Martin also pointed out another feature in that this
type of fuel is a lot cleaner and will save maintenance on the
vehicles in which it is used.
Mayor Jones complimented the team effort by the management
group which included employees from several departments.
12. Agreements be executed with the following non-profit organi-
zations for various Arts projects and programs as
recommended by the Municipal Arts Commission:
a. Corpus Christi Ballet Theatre for $1,400 to host the
Southwestern Regional Association's "Dance Festival"
(April 21-24, 1983);
b. Corpus Christi Chamber Music Society, Inc. for $750 to
provide three Chamber music concerts by the Cleveland
Quartet (December 12, 1982), the Chestnut Brass Company
(January 12, 1983), and the Julliard String Quartet

contractual services for union musicians for the
Chorale season ending May 31, 1983;

e. Corpus Christi Young Artists' Competition, Inc. for
$1,000 to produce the Young Artists' Competition (March
11-13, 1983); and
f. Corpus Christi Magazine and Corpus Christi Arts Council
for $3,500 to provide a 50 piece archival quality
photographic exhibit entitled "Corpus Christi As Seen
Through the Lens of Doc McGregor".
The total of $8,850 is available as part of the $50,000
budgeted for Arts Support approved in the 1982-83 Tourist
and Convention Development Fund Budget.
Council Member Gulley noted that the Council is being asked
to fund several items which really represent only a particular
weekend or one day function or event with the exception of item
"f", which would be a permanent exhibit. He stated that he is
not in favor of the one time, weekend type of projects because it
is almost like special interest funding and he is therefore
opposed to all of the funding except for item "f".
Council Member Kennedy stated that he feels that this is a
small portion of the funds available for the arts program and he
was in favor of all of the projects.
Mayor Jones agreed that these events will improve the life
of this community.
Mr. Phillip Cole, representing Corpus Christi Ballet
Theater, urged approval of this item and pointed out how money
will be spent by those participating in the Corpus Christi Ballet
Theater event and how the event will benefit the City of Corpus
Christi.
Mrs. Nancy Sulig, also representing Corpus Christi Ballet
Theater, explained that one performance would be a free matinee
for school children and this will expose those students to an
educational experience that will be remembered forever.
13. Authorizing the City Manager or his designee to submit an
amended budget for the Elderly Nutrition Program to the
Coastal Bend Council of Governments and sign all related
documents thereto. On October 1, 1982, the Elderly
Nutrition Program underwent reductions in the number of
meals served and staff support to the program because of
cutbacks in federal funds. Recent notification has been
received that funds for the program will not be reduced but
will remain at the same level as received in the previous
grant year. The additional federal funds will be programmed
into meals, increasing the number presently being served.
Staff support will remain at reduced levels in order that as
many additional meals as possible may be provided to the
elderly without overextension of the budget.

Mayor Jones called for consideration of the ordinances on
the Regular Agenda.
Council Member Kennedy asked for an explanation of item 14
which was the first reading of an amendment to the park agreement
between the City of Corpus Christi and Padre Island Investment
Corporation on the northwest end of Lot 1, Block 11, Padre
Island -Corpus Christi -Ports of Call.
City Manager Martin explained that the City will actually be
in possession of the parks on Padre Island following the
annexation of that area, but in order to consummate that action,
the City must pay the developer for the park improvements and the
City is not ready to do that yet. He explained further that the
Padre Island Property Owner Association has interim title to the
land and they have asked for the City's permission to operate a
club house on the park even though the City will eventually own
the land. He stated that before they expend money for the
construction of a club house, they want some assurance that the
City will agree to such an operation in a City park after the
City actually acquires the parks.
Mr. Ed Prichard, Attorney representing the Padre Island
Property Owner's Association, explained that it is not actually a
club house; the Association was set up to serve various
subdivisions; each owner of the property within the entire
subdivision contributes to that Association and in turn that
Association takes care of all the jointly owned property and
generally oversees the subdivision. He stated that they now have
an office on the island in the old hotel building; they are going
to have to move from there; therefore they want to build one on a
Minutes

Page 12
corner of one of the parks to be used as an office and meeting
room for the members of the Association. He noted that they will
use there own money for the construction; therefore, they do not
want to build this if they cannot lease the building after the
park is owned by the City.
Mr. Prichard then displayed a plan showing the location of
the proposed building, noting that it is in a very large park.
Mr. Utter explained that the total area of the land to be
leased is about 20,000 s.f. and the building will be 3,600 s.f.
City Manager Martin pointed out that this is an opportunity
to improve a neighborhood at very little cost to the City.
The other ordinances were considered; City Secretary Read
polled the Council for their votes; and the following ordinances
were passed:
