in the budget pending the outcome of the report. He informed the Council that
he expects the report to be completed within the next two weeks.
City Manager Garza reviewed the status of the budget at this point, stating
that the allocation for the City Hall telephone system has been removed until
the lawsuit against the corny that installed the current system has been
resolved, which might require two years. He also noted that the funding for the
festivals has been deleted as well.
Mayor Turner expressed the need for the festival funding and urged that
some funds be included in the budget for this purpose.
Council Member Rhodes stated that she was of the opinion that if $80,000 is
included for festivals, etc., the allocation for the Corpus Christi Area
Convention and Visitors Bureau should be reduced by a like amount.
City Manager Garza stated that he recommends support of financial
assistance for the Quincentennial events as requested by the Quincentenary
Commission because this would just be a one-time, self-supporting event.
Council Member Rhodes expressed the opinion that the Library staff should
be expanded as well as funding for a staff for festivals and the Quincentenary
activities, stating that her priority was for additional staff for the r.1hrary.
City Manager Garza stated that he intends to approach the Convention and
Visitors Bureau to be sure that assistance for the festivals continues.
Discussion followed as to when the Council would consider other requests,
and Council Member Martin suggested that a workshop be conducted Monday so that
the ordinance adopting the budget can be prepared for adoption on Tuesday, July
31.
Council Member Martin stated that the problem that he has with the festival
idea is that it would involve hiring new people. He pointed out that such an
employee would have very little to do when a festival is not in progress He
suggested that this be accomplished with contract forces, emphasizing the fact
that he objected to hiring staff just for that purpose. Mr. Martin then
referred to the Capital Outlay items and requested a copy of the list.

Council Member Martin noted that the City will have a fund balance of $1 million
and $1.6 million in reserve appropriation for a total of $2.6 million.
In response to a question posed by Council Member Galindo, City Manager
Garza reviewed some of the items to be included in the bond sale and also
mentioned positions that were not included because of lack of funds.
Mayor Turner informed the City Manager that she had received many calls on
the genealogy program at the Library and irquired if it could possibly be
funded. City Manager Garza explained that the additional expense for the
Library was not in his recommendation.
Council Member McComb suggested that a committee of Council Members be
appointed to accompany City Manager Garza to discuss the funding for EMS with
the County. He pointed out that if the County does not pay $800,000 for their
portion of EMS, the money set aside for employees' salary increases would have
to be deleted.'
Further discussion followed on the Library requests, and City Manager Garza
stated that the children's librarian would cost $17,000 and the genealogy
program would require $31,000.

A motion was made by Council Member Rhodes that the children's librarian
position be added to the budget, and it was seconded by Council Member Martin.

passed by the following vote: Turner, Schwing, Hunt, Martin, McComb, Moss and

Council Member Rhodes expressed the opinion that the five self-contained
breathing devirns listed under Fire Department was absolutely essential for the
safety of Fire personnel.
City Manager Garza suggested consideration of the City Secretary's request
for funds for a centralized records retention and retrieval system, but Council
Member Rhodes expressed the opinion that the breathing masks for the Fire
Department was more important.
Fire Chief J. J. Adame addressed the Council and assured them that his
department has enough breathing apparatus units for every firefighter, with some
for backup.
City Manager Garza stated that if funds were available, he would like to
include all items on the list.
A motion was made by Council Member Guerrero that the meeting be adjourned
and that a workshop meeting be scheduled for Thursday from 3 to 7 p.m. The
