That was the voice of the people - -- and I supported it. There is no doubt that we need to provide adequate facilities to encourage, expand, and develop the tourist and convention business. This is a basic premise which applied in 1972 and which applies now. The specifics of the projected auditorium are not as unchanging. The auditorium now will cost nearly 7 million dollars instead of the 4.9 million dollars approved by the people of Corpus Christi. It is a different project entirely, and, because it is, I firmly believe the members of this City Council have an obligation to see, that the issue is resubmitted to the people of our city following the approaching City election and in an atmosphere clear of political tension. It is important to remember - -- and for the people of our city to consider - -- that this proposed auditorium, now costing almost 7 million dollars, will seat only 700 persons more than the present Del Mar Auditorium. Do we, at this time, want to give priority to building this auditorium at a cost of $2800 per seat - -- or $10, 000 for each seat above the number now available at Del Mar College? If so, let's build it. But - -- with the changing times, changing costs, and changing perspectives -- -let's let the people speak again. It is only fair. It is totally proper. It is important to remember, too, that I asked the members of this City Council last year to trim approximately 1 million dollars off the proposed o L�(� W -million -dollar municipal budget. I made this request in the interest // of thousands of city taxpayers. I was told repeatedly that it would be impossible to squeeze the budget tighter - -- that the budget already was squeezed to the limit. Yet now we hear that an additional million dollars ( continued ) CITY SECRETARY Page Two has been found among budgeted funds for use in the auditorium construction program. I say, let's take a very close look at where these funds are coming from. What city programs are being cut back? What programs are being eliminated? How can we be so far afield in our budgeting processes. If we actually have a million dollars to spend, isn't it more important to replace that ancient and inadequate health menace, the Broadway sewer plant? The findings concerning the inadequacies of this plant are frightening. The need of replacement is urgent. The value of replacement to the revitalizing of the business district of our city - -- including the proposed auditorium area - - -is absolute. In light of these comments and for these reasons, I respectfully veto the proposed allocation of funds to the auditorium project. The people are entitled to speak again concerning this matter. I urge the members of this Council not to usurp the public's right of expression. JASON LUBY, MAYOR EXCERPT FROM MINUTES OF REGUTAR COUNCIL MEETING - April 2, 1975 2:00 P.M. PRESENT: Mayor Jason Luby Mayor Pro Tem James T. Acuff Commissioner s• Rev. Harold T. Branch City Manager R. Marvin Townsend Thomas V. Gonzales Acting City Attorney Michael May Ricardo Gonzalez City Secretary Bill G. Read Gabe Lozano, Sr. J. Howard Stark "Mayor Luby presented the Council with Ordinance No. 12547, unsigned, authorizing a contract for the construction of the Community Auditorium, which ordinance was approved by majority vote of the Council on third reading March 26, 1975. He read a letter dated April 2, 1975 which constitutes his veto of Ordinance No. 12547, which letter is attached to the ordinance and made of record in the Office of the City Secretary. In substance, Mayor Luby's veto was based on his feeling that the audi- torium, If built as originally planned, is going to cost approximately $1 million more than the $4.4 million made available for the project in a 1972 bond election. He stated he was in favor of an auditorium as originally planned, but because of inflation, the project is entirely different from the one the residents voted for and stated it should be resubmitted to the people after the approaching election and in an atmosphere clear of political tension. "Motion by Branch, seconded by Ricardo Gonzalez and passed, with Mayor Luby voting "Nay ", that the Council override the Mayor's veto and Ordinance No. 12547 be declared approved and adopted."
