Mayor McDonald asked if there was anyone in the audience who wished to be heard relative to the proposed amendment to the ordinance with reference to Barber Colleges, which amendment would make our current ordinance comply with the recent State legislation in the matter. Mr. Frank Nesbitt, attorney for Mr. Ernest Hoelscher, urged the immediate passage of the amendment on the basis that the current ordinance makes it economi- cally impossible to establish or conduct a Barbers' College in this City, that the only c singe the amendment makes is to provide for one Journeyman Barber to supervise not more than 20 Student Barbers, thus complying with the State regulations, rather than one for each two Students, that there is no apparent opposition to this partic- ular feature, and further that they have no objection to reviewing with the Council at a workshop session the matter of a projected statement of expenses and operation costs. No one appeared to speak against the adoption of the foregoing amendment to the ordinance relating to Barber Colleges. • • Special Council Meeting June 22, 1961 Page 8 ORDINANCE NO. 6187 AMENDING AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE SUPERVISION BY JOURNEYMEN BARBERS OF BARBER WORK PERFORMED IN BARBER COLLEGES BY STUDENT BARBERS, LIMITING THE NUMBER OF STUDENT BARBERS THAT JOURNEYMEN BARBERS SHALL SUPERVISE AT ONE TIME, AND AMENDING SUBSEC- TION 4 OF ORDINANCE NO. 2612, ENACTED OCTOBER 10, 1949, AND SECTION 14 OF CHAPTER 8 OF THE CITY CODE OF 1958; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.

Mayor McDonald read a telegram he had received from Senator Ralph W. Yarborough, to the effect that Housing Administrator Robert C. Weaver had notified him pf the Housing and Home Finance Agency recertification of Corpus Christi's plans for a program of community improvement, and commending the Corpus Christi leaders for their work for the prevention and elimination of slums and blight. (See Council Exhibits #11 in File.) City Manager Whitney commented that this recertification permits long- term, low interest rate loans for people in the City who are being relocated due to highway, expressway and freeway construction. The matter of a proposed revised schedule of gas rate charges was dis- cussed at some length as to need in relation to the City's gas revenues, and as to effect on other gas franchise company rates. Mayor McDonald requested a written opinion of the City Attorney as to whether or not private franchise companies have the right to raise their gas rates if the City raises its gas rates to consumers, and stated that he had an independent survey of the gas rates and charges and op- erations made which he wanted to study along with the survey made by the City's Gas Department in connection with this proposed ordinance, and that he declared the proposed ordinance not to be an emergency and that it be put on a three -reading basis. Motion by Swantner, seconded by Barnard and passed that the proposed or- dinance relative to the City's gas rates to consumers be put on a three -reading basis and be read for the first time today. • Special Council Meeting June 22, 1961 Page 9 FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE: AMENDING THE CORPUS CHRISTI CODE, 1958, SO AS TO ESTABLISH A NEW SCHEDULE OF GAS RATES FOR CUSTOMERS OR CONSUMERS OF THE CITY -OWNED GAS DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM HT AMEND- ING SECTION 38-56 AND SECTION 38-57 OF THE CORPUS CHRISTI CITY CODE, 1958; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

Mayor McDonald invited anyone in the audience who had business with the City to come forward and be heard. Mrs. Mark Pomerantz, 502 Santa Monica, requested the City Council to make a thorough study of the procedure used by the City for the purpose of street assess- ments against residences. She objected to the use of City appraisers who might have conflicting interests instead of using F.H.A. appraisers, and to assessment of abut- ting residences for street improvements which greatly increase the traffic in front Of their homes, and suggested that the expense of arterial streets should be borne by those using the streets. She felt that although the assessment program vas legal, it was unjust. G. Curtis Clark, 107 Alta Plaza, objected to the wording and implications of a letter he had received from the City Tax Department which gave him one week to pay his 1961 taxes on a piece of property which was taken in February by the High- way Department. He stated that he didn't want to pay taxes on a piece of property that he had owned only for one month, and that he didn't care to be sued by the City either. Mayor McDonald answered Mr. Clark that the City had very thoroughly and unsuccessfully tried to get permission from the State to have taxes in these cases pro rated; that the Attorney General had ruled that the damages suffered by a prop- erty owner by reason of his having the use of his property for only part of a year are taken into consideration in the condemnation price paid for such property; that THE ST_+ ° E OF TEXAS COUNTY OF NUECES CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI NOTICE OF SPECIAL MMTING • TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL, THE CITY MANAGER, r: N E CITY SECRETARY.'
