Mayor Pro Tem Best stated that at the time of the presentation by the Staff
on the Ad Hoc Water Commission Study which was held on January 28th, Mr. Tom
Beasley, a Council Member from Beeville, had not been called upon to speak and
that Mr. Beasley has requested that he be allowed to make a presentation at this
time.
Mr. Beasley, Attorney from Beeville representing Mrs. Bera Brown Miller,
explained that when Mrs. Miller's parents executed an easement in favor of the
Lower Nueces River Water Supply District on December 27, 1960, that agreement
was predicated upon certain conditions as set forth in the easement. He stated
that of major significance is the granting clause which states, in part, that
the district has an easement to inundate 1,038.49 acres of land which may be
submerged because of "construction, maintenance and operation of a dam and its
appurtenances by District in, over and across the Nueces River at a point on
said river downstream from said land." He noted that the contract between the
District and Mrs. Miller's parents in 1960 did not contemplate or provide for
any diversion or interference with the flow of water above Wesley Seale Dam.
Mr. Beasley continued by stating that during the discussion which
transpired on January 28, and with particular reference to the presentation made
by Mr. Lontos, it became clear to him that the agreements and provisions of the
easements granted to the Lower Nueces River Water Supply District would be
significant in evaluating the recommendations of the advisory committee. He
stated that Mr. Lontos had quoted several statements and reports which suggested
maximum water efficiency could be obtained from the construction of a second
reservoir, and that his interpresentation of this phase of Mr. Lontos'
presentation was that it was an effort to justify the recommendation of the ad
hoc committee especially with regard to what obligation, if any, the City of
Corpus Christi has to the land owners in and around Lake Corpus Christi to
maintain that reservoir at any certain level. He agreed that there is no
guarantee as to the level of the lake; it has always been understood by all
concerned that the lake would be subject to fluctuation resulting from abundant
rainfall or drought conditions; and there has never been any argument that water
from the lake should be used by the citizens of Corpus Christi and other
consumers for personal and business purposes without any sort of restriction
except for periodic review by governmental agencies having jurisdiction over
such matters. He strongly disagreed with Mr. Lontos' contention that no one was
assured a lake would be in a place at or about the 94' contour level, subject
only to weather conditions and consumption of water.
Mr. Beasley pointed out that when Mrs. Miller's parents signed their
easement, they received consideration in two forms: (1) they were paid a sum
of money as compensation for the taking, and (2) in lieu of valuable bottom land
with river frontage, they obtained a certain amount of lake frontage. He stated
that the lake has been in place in its present form for approximately thirty
years, and in reliance upon that consideration, Mrs. Miller, like many others,
has adjusted her life and the use of her property accordingly, noting that the
highest and best use of this property has likewise changed.

Mr. Beasley noted that they are now told that the recommendations of the ad
hoc committee would not be implemented except under severe drought conditions,
and further, actions such as drawing the lake down and diverting water to Choke
Canyon would only occur after the lake had become unusable due to severe
drought. He pointed out two major problems with this thinking; i.e., by drawing
the lake down to a point where only 50,000 acre feet remain, it is likely that
the time required to refill the lake would be substantially lengthened as
compared to allowing the lake to naturally fluctuate as it might during times of
drought; and with regard to diverting water to the Nueces River, he emphasized
the effect such diversion could have on the level of the lake during drought
conditions.
Mr. Beasley concluded by urging that the recommendations of the ad hoc
committee with respect to diverting water and using the two reservoirs as a
single unit be rejected so as to avoid irreparable harm to Mrs. Miller and to
other persons with like interest in or around Lake Corpus Christi.
Mayor Pro Tem Best thanked Mr. Beasley for his presentation.
Mayor Pro Tem Best called for consideration on the following item:
Authorizing the City Manager to execute a Police Collective Bargaining
Agreement effective upon signing of the contract and remaining effective
until midnight July 31, 1988 and amending the City Compensation Plan
accordingly as specified in the contract.
A motion was made by Council Member Mendez that the foregoing item be
approved, seconded by Council Member Guerrero.
Acting City Manager Ernest Briones asked that Mr. Carlos Arauz, Personnel
Director, summarize the contract.
Mr. Arauz stated that the contract is for a 3 -year contract term;
expiration date of July 31, 1988; provides salary increases as follows:
Effective August 1, 1985 - 2%, Effective April 1, 1986 - 3%, Effective August 1,
1986 - 3%, Effective March 1, 1987 - 3%, Effective August 1, 1987 - 3% and
Effective March 1, 1988 - 3.5%. Mr. Arauz stated that the contract also
establishes 41.25 hours of work in a 7 -day work period as the regular work
period, noting that this was done to avoid overtime charges while in compliance
with the Fair Labor Standards Act; it provides an increase of $4.90 per employee
per month toward supplemental insurance contributions effective August 1, 1986;
it specifies procedure for promotional examinations and examination postings; it
tightens up language regarding selection of arbitrators; reinforces the
importance of the Labor -Management Relations Committee; changes certain
provisions with regard to political activities; and establishes administrative
fee to be paid to the City for special assessments by the Union.

by the State of Texas, and 7% local contribution. The City's Agreement
with the Regional Transit Authority provided for the transfer of all
transportation grants from the City to the Authority. The approval by UMTA
and the State of Texas is still in progress; therefore, the RTA requests
the City to approve the purchase in order to take advantage of the related
bid terms, with the RTA reimbursing the City for the local share.

Mayor Pro Tem Best called for consideration of the following motion from
the Regular Agenda.
14. Authorizing the City Manager to submit an application to the Texas State
Department of Highways and Public Transportation for funds to be used in
the Harbor Bridge Lighting and beautification project. State funds are
available on a 50-50 match basis.
Council Member Linda Strong commented that it is important to realize that
the City funds that were appropriated for improvements of our City's entrances
are still committed for that purpose. She stated that the fact that the City
had the money for landscaping entitles the City to a 50/50 matching program with
the State Highway Department for the landscaping improvements and the bridge
lighting project. She noted that the Central Business District has committed to
raising some funds for the maintenance, materials, etc. She expressed the
opinion that with the announcement of the aquarium to be constructed at North
Beach, this would be an excellent opportunity for Corpus Christi to get national
recognition that this City would not have otherwise. She pointed out that
Speaker Pro Tem Hugo Berlanga had been instrumental in obtaining State funds for
this project.
A motion was made by Council Member Strong that the foregoing motion be
approved, seconded by Council Member Guerrero.
Mayor Pro Tem Best recognized Speaker Pro Tem Hugo Berlanga who was present
in the audience and asked that he comment on this.

Mr. Larry Wenger, Director of Planning, stated that in response to the
eighty-one notices of the public hearing that were mailed, five in favor and
five in opposition had been returned. He stated that the Planning Commission
and Planning Staff's recommendation is for denial and in lieu thereof, grant a
special permit for a miniature golf course in accordance with an acceptable site
plan illustrating the following conditions: (1) a standard screening fence
constructed along Sparkle Sea Drive, (2) proposed location, height, and
direction of all lighting be shown on the site plan, and (3) a note be placed on
the site plan prohibiting outdoor music at any time.
Mr. Wenger displayed a transparency of the location and showed slides of
the vicinity. Mr. Wenger then stated that the reason the Commission was opposed
to the outdoor music is because of the close proximity of the proposed facility
to the residential area.
Mayor Pro Tem Best inquired if the applicant agrees to all of the
conditions, and Mr. Wenger replied that the applicant agrees to the conditions
with the exception of the prohibition of the outdoor music.
Council Member Strong expressed the opinion that outdoor music is an
integral part of the Putt Putt operation and inquired if the Staff had looked at
the possibility of the sound system actually having volume control. She stated
that she felt that this could probably be done in such a way so that it would
not become a detriment.
Mr. Wenger explained that this would then be considered to be an
enforcement problem.
Council Member Berlanga inquired about the letters in opposition, and it
was ascertained that none of the five letters returned had been in opposition
to the noise problem.
Mayor Pro Tem Best called on the applicant to speak.
Mr. Tim Clower, General Partner of Rodd Field Properties, stated that the
sound system is an integral part of the Putt -Putt operation; the noise level of
the system is contolled; and provided the Council with copies of letters from
the City of Amarillo and from residents who reside next to a similar operation
in Amarillo, Texas. Mr. Clower stated that there is already control over noise
through the anti -noise ordinance in the Corpus Christi Code. He stated that the
speakers will be used to make announcements and for soft music. He pointed out
that the existing Maverick Market, which is located next to the proposed
business, already has a speaker system.
Mayor Pro Tem Best called on those who wished to speak in opposition.

Mr. Robert McDaniel, 722 Alhambra, stated that he did not respond to the
notice because he was not aware of the type of business that would be
constructed there. He expressed concern about the noise that will be generated
through the speaker system.
There were no further comments.
A motion was made by Council Member Guerrero that the hearing be closed,
seconded by Council Member Mendez and passed unanimously.
A motion was made by Council Member Guerrero that the Council approve the
requested zoning of "B-4" subject to conditions 1 and 2 and that the third
condition be deleted to allow for the speaker system for the operation, seconded
by Council Member Berlanga.
Further discussion followed on the motion, and Assistant City Attorney
Dpegey explained to the Council that granting a special permit for "B-4" zoning
with conditions is permitted but there is a problem in granting conditions under
"B-4" zoning.
A motion was made by Council Member Guerrero that "B-4" zoning be approved,
seconded by Council Member Berlanga.
The motion failed to pass by the following vote: Berlanga, Guerrero and
Pruet voting, "Aye"; Best, McComb, Mendez, Slavik and Strong voting, "No";
Jones, absent.
A motion was made by Council Member McComb that the Council concur with the
Planning Commission and Planning Staff's recommendation with the conditions as
stipulated under 1 and 2 and that condition 3 be deleted but instead, substitute
a requirement that a standard screening fence be installed between this property
and the residential properties, seconded by Council Member Strong.
Council Member Berlanga asked for a clarification on a standard screening
fence, and Mr. Wenger replied that it would have to be the type of fence that
would withstand hurricane wind force.
Mayor Pro Tem Best called for the vote on the motion and it passed as
follows: Best, Berlanga, Guerrero, McComb, Mendez, Pruet, Slavik and Strong
voting, "Aye"; Jones, absent.
16. Application No. 1285-6, Mr. Raymond Sims: For a change of zoning from "AB"
Professional Office District and "T -1B" Mobile Home Park District to "T -1A"
Travel Trailer Park District on Tract 1 and from "T -1B" Mobile Home Park
District to "B-4" General Business District on Tract 2, being a portion of
Lot 4 and all of Lot 5, Block 1, Flour Bluff Gardens No. 2, located on the
east side of Waldron Road, across from the intersection of Waldron Road and
Blossom Street.

Assistant City Manager Utter stated that in response to the seven notices
of the public hearing that were mailed, one, plus two outside the 200' area of
notification in favor and none in opposition had been returned. He stated that
the Planning Commission and Planning Staff's recommendation is for approval of
"T -1A" on Tract 1 and denial of "B-4" on Tract 2.
Mr. Wenger displayed a transparency of the location and showed slides of
the vicinity, noting that a sales lot operation is not allowed in "T -1B" zoning.
Mr. Wenger stated that it would be his recommendation that the Council approve
the ordinance after which the Staff will proceed to require that all of the
goals are met. He pointed out that there are some zoning code violations
involved.
Mayor Pro Tem Best called on the applicant to speak.
Mr. Charles Cartwright, representing the applicant, explained that Mr.
Simms purchased the large tract in 1972 and at that time, it was rezoned to
allow both mobile home and travel trailers. He purchased the "AB" tract in
February of 1982 and developed a travel trailer park. He stated that Tract 2 is
used for travel trailer sales and also for travel trailer residences, and they
want a special permit rather than "B-4" zoning to allow any use permitted in the
"T -IA" District and also allow one illuminated sign for sales purposes. He
stated that they would like to maintain the number of spaces, and asked that
they be permitted up to seven spaces abutting Waldron Road. He acknowledged
that the Building Department has sent them a notice informing them that they are
in violation of the Zoning Ordinance.
Council Member Pruet noted that when Mr. Cartwright purchased the property
in 1972, the property had different allowance than they now have. He inquired
why the applicant had to come back for rezoning of the property.
Mr. Wenger explained that this was prior to breaking the zoning into
various categories, it was all lumped into one; and that during the Flour Bluff
Comprehensive Rezoning, the lot was zoned to "T -1B"; and the Staff was not aware
there were any travel trailers in the area.
It was ascertained that no one wished to speak in opposition.
A motion was made by Council Member Slavik that the hearing be closed,
seconded by Council Member Mendez and passed unanimously.
A motion was made by Council Member McComb that the Council deny the
requested zoning of "B-4" on Tract 2 and in lieu thereof, grant a special permit
for the continuation of the sales operation subject to a site plan with suitable
sign requirements approved by the Staff, seconded by Council Mendez and passed
unanimously by those present and voting.

Assistant City Manager Utter suggested that the Council might want to
approve the zoning on Tract 1.
A motion was made by Council Member Strong that the Council concur with the
Planning Commission and Planning Staff's recommendation and approve "T -IA"
zoning on Tract 1, seconded by Council Member Slavik and passed unanimously.
Assistant City Manager Utter stated that the ordinance will be on the
agenda as soon as the site plan has been submitted.
Acting City Manager Briones informed the Council that a Workshop Meeting on
the Capital Improvement Program will be scheduled on Thursday, February 13th; it
is necessary to have a meeting prior to the 18th, possibly Monday night; and
that this meeting could be held at the Convention Center to provide ample
opportunity for the public to speak. He stated that a ruling could be
established so that a person speaking on Monday night, February 17th, would not
be allowed to speak on Tuesday, February 18th.
A motion was made by Council Member Slavik that a Workshop Meeting of the
Council be scheduled for Thursday, February 13, 1986 at 5:00 p.m.; a public
hearing with the City Council, the Planning Commission and the public be
scheduled for Monday, February 17th; and that a public hearing be scheduled for
Tuesday, February 18th, with the stipulation that anybody who speaks during the
Monday public hearing not speak on Tuesday, seconded by Council Member Strong
and passed unanimously.
Mayor Pro Tem Best noted that since a Workshop Meeting has been scheduled
for Thursday, the Council will be unable to attend the TML Region 11 Meeting in
Beeville and asked that the Staff notify them of this.
