Mayor Jones recognized representatives of Exxon, Mr. Gene McCann, Mr.
Winfield McCulloch, and Mrs. Elaine Noting.
Mr. McCann stated that they are volunteers with the Corpus Christi Museum
Auxiliary; as retired Exxon employees, they are entitled to apply for grants
from Exxon to nonprofit organizations in which they are involved; Exxon granted
$2,000 towards the purchase of an artifact storage cabinet for Spanish Shipwreck
artifacts; and this cabinet is specially designed for that purpose and is
partially funded through the Museum Operating Fund Budget.
Mrs. Hoting presented the check to the Mayor.
Mayor Jones stated that the Council is most grateful for Exxon and the
Museum Auxiliary.

Advisory Board.

Mr. Juan Garza, Director of Finance, referred to the certification of
Appraisal Roll for the City presented to the Council by Mr. George Moff, Chief
Appraiser. He stated that according to the certification, the assessed value
has dropped approximately $43 million, which could mean $200,000 less in tax
revenues to the City.
City Manager McDowell stated that at this time, the City does not have the
detailed information to make the exact computations, and Mr. Garza stated that
Mr. Moff has until July 25 to provide the data.
In response to a question by the Mayor, Mr. Garza stated that on July 29,
the Council will have all of the information necessary to adopt the budget.
Council Member Strong asked that as soon as the detailed information is
available, the staff should make recommendations to the Council. She stated
that this tax loss could change the recommendations the Council makes regarding
the budget and she would like information at least by Monday, July 28.
In response to a question from the Mayor, Mr. Garza stated that the change
in the figures was probably due to appeals submitted to the Tax Appraisal Review
Board and the adjustments allowed by that Board were probably substantial.
Mayor Jones stated that this is a basis for changing the City's fiscal
year, and Mr. Garza agreed, noting that if the fiscal year were changed the City
would be dealing with the actual figures and the cash flow would be better. He
stated that to change the fiscal year requires a Charter amendment, and the
Charter Revision Commission Subcommittee on Finance, Taxation, and Government
Minutes

Powers will be recommending that the language be changed so the fiscal year can
be established by the Council.

rehabilitation loan and grant program in connection with the 12th Year Community
Development Block Grant Program are $550,000. She questioned why this figure is
so high.
Assistant City Manager Tom Utter stated that the City actually performs the
design work, inspection, and construction supervision; the City also performs
default or delinquent counseling; this is one of the lowest rates per grant of
any in the State; and he noted that the City's Housing and Urban Development
Department also performs training for HUD. He stated that there is a lot more
to it than just making a loan.
Mayor Jones stated that he would like the Council to be provided with a
comparison of this amount to the cost in other cities.
In response to a question from Council Member Strong, Mr. Utter stated that
all of the property belongs to the Boys' Club and the parking lot that is to be
constructed with CDBG funds will serve the baseball and soccer fields.
Council Member Slavik requested, for the benefit of the audience, the
reasons for the increases in wastewater and garbage rates.
City Manager McDowell stated that the wastewater increase is in connection
with the bonds to provide funds for bond debt and the garbage increase is to
cover cost of operations and for landfill improvements. He noted that the
Council has taken the position that the utility fund should be self-supporting.
Mayor Jones called for comments from the audience.
Mr. Irving Dietz, 455 Miramar, objected to the increase in wastewater
rates. He stated that the Council made a commitment that rates would be raised
as the money is required and no bonds have been sold yet.
City Manager McDowell, in response to Mrs. Slavik, stated that the budget
provides for $25 million in bonds and the staff is in the process of putting the
bond package together for some time in the fall. He stated a portion of that
will be in wastewater.
Mr. Dietz reiterated that the rates should not be raised until the bonds
are actually sold.
Mr. McDowell stated that $10 million of the bonds will be for wastewater.
In response to questions from Council Member Slavik, Mr. Oscar Martinez,
Budget Director, stated that the rates will be effective August 1 and they are
being raised at this time to coincide with the budget and the bond sale.
There were no further comments from the audience; City Secretary Chapa
polled the Council for their vote as follows:

Mayor Jones announced the public hearing on the following:
22. Application No. 586-1, Mr. Faires P. Wade: For a change of zoning from
"R -1B" One -family Dwelling District to "AB" Professional Office District on
Lot 2, Block 35, Windsor Park Unit 4, located on the north side of Janssen
Drive, approximately 70' east of Everhart Road.
Mr. Utter stated that in response to the 18 notices mailed, 3 were returned
in favor; none were returned against; the Planning Commission recommends denial,
and in lieu thereof, grant a special permit for an attorney's office; and the
Planning Staff recommends denial.
Mr. Larry Wenger, Director of Planning, displayed the area on the zoning
and land use map, described the land use in the surrounding area, and showed
slides of the vicinity.
Mr. Faires Wade, the applicant, stated that he owns the property; he has
tried, unsuccessfully, to sell the property as a residence; his current offices
are on Alameda; he plans to sell that building and move his practice if he can
obtain the proper zoning. He stated that he feels this property is ideal for
"AB" uses. He informed the Council that there are no objections from the
neighborhood to this change.
Mayor Jones noted that last week a similar zoning request was denied by the
Council.
Council Member Slavik inquired if Mr. Wade could use the property next door
as an entrance off Everhart.
Mr. Wade stated that he might be able to, but he would have to consult the
property owner, Mr. John Polk, L.P.T. Mr. Wade stated that he planned to screen
the area between him and the adjacent property with shrubbery and parking would
be in the rear.
Mr. Utter stated that the staff would have no objection to a special permit
for a one attorney office if the entrance was from Everhart, subject to a site
plan.
It was decided that the staff would have no objection to two attorneys
using the office.
Mr. Wade stated that a special permit would satisfy his immediate needs,
but eventually he would want to sell the property.
A motion was made by Mayor Pro Tem Best that a special permit be granted
for a law office with the provision it be limited to two attorneys; seconded by
Council Member Pruet.
Council Member Guerrero reminded the Council of the similar case that was

denied last week and stated that this is an intrusion into the residential
neighborhood.
Mayor Pro Tem Best stated that this case is different because of the
surrounding zoning.
Council Member Guerrero stated that he would not say what
difference is, because it would offend many people.
Mayor Jones stated that the difference is that in the case of Dr.

Council Member Mendez stated that the question last week concerned driveway
cuts into the residential area, but if a special permit is granted on this case,
consideration should be given to the possibility of access from Everhart, not
Janssen.
Mr. Wade stated that he could talk to Mr. Polk regarding this.
A motion was made by Council Member Strong that this case be tabled for 60
days in order to allow Mr. Wade to talk to Mr. Polk regarding access through
Everhart. The motion was seconded by Council Member McComb and passed
unanimously.
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Mayor Jones called for petitions from the audience.
Mrs. Lilies Hammerick, 3134 Nassau Drive, thanked the Council for the new
library, but stated that the library needs additional staff and books. She
referred in particular to the genealogy room and the children's section, stating
that one person could work in both sections.
Mayor Jones pointed out that the voters rejected the bond proposal that
included items for the Library.
Mrs. Hammerick stated that she felt it was rejected because it was included
under the title "Cultural Improvements."
In response to a question from Council Member Mendez, Mrs. Hammerick stated
that, in her opinion, the public viewed the term cultural as meaning opera and
classical music.
There being no further business to come before the Council, on motion by
Council Member Slavik, seconded by Council Member Strong and passed unanimously,
the meeting was adjourned at 3:26 p.m., July 22, 1986.
