It is believed that the addition of a wing to the building can be built on the adjacent foundation of the building formerly used as,a District Court, and it is estimated that the cost of this project would be in the neighborhood of $25,000.00. I This project was included in the overall planning of the Public Buildings project in 1957, but was held in abeyance until the Courthouse and Agriculture Buildings could be completed so that the availability of funds could be determined. Since it is now believed to be possible to begin the prelimin- ary planning for the Museum and Livrary Building project, a motion was made by Commissioner Radtke, seconded by Commissioner Wedig, and unanimously carried, that the County Architects, Rustayand Martin, be instructed to complete their planning and prepare the necessary specifications for such project.

Desig" Phase fees sholl be paid in monthly installments based On the ENGINEER'S estimate of the "Construction Cost" of the work. made in proportion to that part of the services in the Design Phose which hos been accomplished, as evidenced by monthly statements submitted by the ENGINEER and approved by the OWNER. Final payment for services authorized in the Design Phose, plus the adjusted fee for the Preliminary Phose, shall be due upon the completion of these services, based on the "Construction Cost" as defined hereinafter. Construction Phase fees sholl be paid in monthly installments in proportion to the construction work completed (nor- mally on the basis of contractor's monthly estimates) plus the cost of 011 materials and equipment purchased or furnished directly by the OWNER for the project. Upon completion of 011 work authorized in the Construction Phase, the ENGINEER will be paid the remainder of the fee for this phose, based on final "Construction Cost" os defined hereinafter. Also, payment sholl be mode for the Preliminary and Design Phase of all exlra work added to the project during construction which was designed or specified by the ENGINEER. For design work required during the construction phose, that results in a decrease (or no increase) in Con- struction cost, payment therefore shall be made os specified in paragraph 10, "Redesign and Other Extra Work". Service. Not Included in Basic Fee shall be paid for monthly (on fhe basis heretofore listed), based on statements sub- mitted by the ENGINEER and approved by the OWNER.

In the event that proposals for construction of any of the work authorized in the Design Phase ore received within 90 doys after submission of completed contract drawings and specifications to the OWNER by the ENGINEER, the fee for the correspond- ing services in the Design Phase and the fee for the corresponding services in the Preliminary Phose (where on 0 percentage basis), shall be adjusted to the "construction cost" as reflected by the lowest acceptable proposal, or lowest bonafide bid, even if no contract is awarded. The lowest acceptable proposal or bonafide bid shall be the one which includes all the work covered by the plans and specifications, and not an alternate bid which eliminates part of the work. The lowest acceptable proposal may, how- ever, be the lowest bid on alternate methods, equipment, or design intended to accomplish the same end result in the project. Where no proposals or bonafide bids are received for any port or all of the work, the ENGINEER'S estimates shall be the basis for final payment for these two phases far that part of the work. No reduction sholl be mode from the percentage fee in any phose on account of penalties or liquidated damages or other sums withneld from contractor's payments. "Salary Cost" is defined as the cost of salaries of engineers, architects, draftsmen, stenographers, surveymen, clerks, laborers, etc., directly chargeable to the project, plus social secur:ty contributions, unemployment, excise and payroll taxes, bonuses, employment compensation insurance, retirement benefits, sick leave, vacation, and holiday pay applicable thereto, and sholl include the "cost" of the services of principals, associates or consultants at the imputed rates regularly employed by the ENGINEER for this purpose. 9, COOPERATION OF OWNER The OWNER, or his representatives will confer periodically with the ENGINEER to the end that the project, as developed, sholl have full benefit of the OWNER'S experience and knowledge of existing needs and standards.

This survey prior to being forwarded to the General Land Office was approved by the Commissioners' Court of both Jackson and Calhoun Counties. Our Engineering Department and Legal Department have checked this survey and determined that the field notes are acceptable and the survey work will be approved after the field notes have been mailed to this office in varas instead of feet. The law requires that all field notes filed in the General Land Office be in varas. I would like to call your attention to the fact that in the.Carancahua Bay area of the Jackson and Calhoun County line between the James Hughson and Sam Houston surveys, which are on record in this office, the location of the original County line is subject to more than one determination and interpret- ation. In view of the fact, however, that the counties themselves are situated with the line, and the line proposed in these field notes will do the least amount of damage to either county, and the General Land Office is prepared to approve the County line between Jackson and Calhoun Counties as resurveyed on the ground, in accordance with my above request, please furnish us field notes in varas rather than in feet so that we can make our final:'. approval.

FAIR ASSOCIATION - REPORT & REQUEST Mr. Shannon Ramsey, President of the Fair Association, gave a brief resume of the tentative plans for the County Fair, and said they would like like to know when they could expect the metal buildingcto be moved to the Fairgrounds, and if the requested areas would all be shelled. Judge Hartzog said that both buildings will be moved to the Fairgrounds, one of which might possibly be needed later on as a county barn for Precinct 1; and that if there was any money left after moving and resetting the buildings, the areas would be shelled as funds permitted. He explained that the moving and re- setting and wiring would have to come from the Fairgrounds Avail- able Fund and he doubted whether there would be much left for shell. Mr. Ramsey asked if there were some other fund which might be drawn upon for that purpose. The Judge told him that there was not and reminded him of the need for expansion of the Calhoun County Memorial Hospital which is now in the planning stage. Mr. Ramsey requested the Court to set up a ruling committee to rule on questions he felt are out of the province of the Fair Association. He said that,if they could not at this time set up such a committee, he would appreciate the Court appointing one of the Commissioners to assist them; whereupon, Commissioner Radtke moved that Commissioner Wedig be appointed advisor to ,the Fair Association. Commissioner Barton seconded the motion and it was unanimously carried. ___,______.~.~~v,.__.~~ '.;."

That we realize that his responsibility as Health Officer and the charity work that he performs constitutes a sacrifice of the major part of his time to the extent that it is above and beyondthe.duties of that office; and, Whereas, Dr. Lester:has'offered to the Commissioners Court his resignation; and, I Whereas, ,we feel that our acceptance of his resignation would not be in the public interest; therefore;, ~We,respectfully desire to go on' record ,asking ,his reconsider- ation, .and that he remain executive head of the'Health Department; and, . - .. _!~ We request the cooperation of all of the'members of.our.able medical profession, and. of the public in helping him-to ,guide the purpose and function of the Charity Clinic. We feel that, with the creation of our Charity Clinic at the Calhoun County Memorial Hospital, all patients who cannot.afford to pay for medicine or medical services, when informed of the availability of these services, will go directly to the Clinic for such services. We feel that neither the Commissioners Court, nor any of you who have been helped by Dr. Lester will want him to continue to make the sacrifice for you that he is now making, and we feel I that .the true friends of Dr. ,Lester will be more than happy to assist him in all ways possible. It is with sincere appreciation of the past services rendered, and the hope of his reconsideration of his resignation, that we have this 9th day of May, 1960, ordered the foregoing ~erittired of.' record in the Minutes of this Court and directed that a copy be mailed to ~Dr.~ :Lester. ..- --- - - ~ ~. - - - : ~ ,Commissione rs' Court of .

Those present were: Mr. Allen Paulsen, Mr. Walter Weber, and Mr. .William Sames. Mr. Paulsen was spokesman. Mr. Paulsen told the Court that he understood the County owns a vacant lot which he thought might be used as a site for the Scout building since the County will be using the land where the building is now located. He said they could move the building to the county- owned lot in Block 77. However, there was some question as to the desirability of the location for a Scout center. Judge Hartzog told him that the Court was not sure that they could grant such a request, and added that it might possibly be done by dedicating the building to the Calhoun County Boy Scout Council. He said this would make the building available to all Boy Scouts throughout the County. Mr. Paulsen said there was no Calhoun County Boy Scout Council, ,since such Council had never been created. Judge Hartzog asked Mr. Paulsen to confer with Commissioner Wedig and see if, anything could be worked out. I, Mr. Paulsen then requested the temporary use of the old Sheriff's office on Benavides Street as an interim meeting place until a permanent meeting place could be secured. He was informed that some part of the building is now being used for storage, and that something would first have to be done about that. Judge Hartzog told the delegation that the Court would take their requests under consideration. r' I , I ='-i c.c C': <- <:( ~ II ,I L__, 367 TRANSPORTATION FOR POLIO PATIENT Upon a motion made by Commissioner Wedig, seanded by Commissioner Radtke, and unanimously carried, the Court authorized transportation to the Polio Rehabilitation Center in Houston for Jesse Rivera, child Polio Patient, in the amount of $10.00.

Those present were Mi. T. F. Anderson, Alcoa; Mr. R. P. Barry, Carbide & Carbon Chemicals Company; and Mr. Sidney Albrecht of Port 0' Connor. I Mr. Homer Horton, Administrator of the Calhoun County Memorial Hospital, and Mr. W. C. Regan, member of the Board of Trustees were present to discuss tne hospital exapnsion. Mr. Horton gave a report on. the Hospital, and urged an ex~ansion-building program. , Mr. Horton said that they. were operating at 70% capacity and that it is time to do something about the hospital. He said that. the Hospital addition in 1954 doubled the original patient capacity without adding working areas, and added ,that the kitchen is too small and lacking in equipment. He 'estimated the equipment needed would cost about $50,000.00. Mr. Horton presented the following figures to illustrate the growth of the patient load: 1950; 512 patients in nine months of operation; 1951, 1270; 1952, 1720; 1953, 1806; 1954, 2070; I 1955, 2189; 1956, 2380; 1957, 2777; 1958,2847; 1959, 2653. He said that with only 42 beds; they have a problem placing - the patients. Mr. Horton then demonstrated a model of the pro- posed add~tion and pointed out that other floors could be added later. rr 1 373 Mr. Houlihan, County Auditor, explained the County tax structure, and told Mr. Horton that the addition to the hospital would call for a bond vote. He said he considered that it would be impossible to build the hospital addition from present funds unless the right of way debt could be paid off. I Mr. Bill W. Klotz and Mr. H. L. DeFord of Lockwood & Andrews, Engineers, reported on the work they have done, ,and said that, for the seawalls, the total amount of work done showed the cost would exceed the 'approximately $700,000 Flood Control Fund. He said they had also evaluated the recreational facilities although that was not their main point. Mr. Klotz said that they define the seawall project as a method to stop daily erosion of the banks. He said they had made a suggested basis for distribution of funds for the project. At this point, Mr. Klotz and Mr. DeFord produced drawings and estimated costs, and went into some detail of the engineering problems. C\I The cost estimates submitted to the Court were as follows: c.::. C": Type A: total of 17 , 7 50 feet at cost of $1,090,000, <: a a <! Type B: a tota 1 of 11,200 feet at a cost of $ 700,000, ~ Type C: a total of 11,250 feet at a cost of $700,000, Mr. Klotz said they did not recommend Type C as worthy of consideration for shore protection. The areas specified in the drawings for protection are: Alamo Beach, Port O'Connor Bay Front, Point Comfort Area, and Six Mile Park. I After the report by Mr. Klotz, Mr. Anderson of Alcoa was the first of the taxpayers to speak. Mr. Anderson said that they were not opposed to the hospital expansion if it is needed; that they felt the hospital had been operating well and efficiently, and if an expansion is needed, they are not opposed'to it. He commented that if the Hospital is expanded more than is necessary at this time, it would only result in increased operating costs. He said that he had taken note of the increase in patients presented by Mr. Horton, and that the figures for the last two years had been about the same. I Mr. Anderson commented, upon the. 8 million dollar rise in tax,' values, and said that Alcoa's valuations went up about 34 million dollars in the last six years. He said.that he had hoped the Court would be able to arrange the taxes to include any necessary expansion rather than levy the 30~ tax. He suggested that perhaps some of the right of way debt could be retired a little more slowly rather than levy the tax. He said that the total tax values now would amount to a quarter-million dollar income, and that they have '$700,000 on hand for seawall construction. Mr. Anderson said that it is necessary to add more industries to the Gulf Coast; that more encouragement should be offered to industries, and that by not transferring this tax to the County, a big encouragement for industry to come in would be offered. He stated that they would never protest their just share of taxes, but that he hoped the Court would give this levy some consideration before they act. l ' .::.c.....,~"^"""_-'"..~.._. .~ . I -,...." ,,j is,,! " \ Mr. R. P. Barry of the Carbide Company was next to speak about the proposed tax levy. Mr. Barry said he felt that a tax increase would make it much harder on heavy industry; that industry already has a particularly difficult problem of transportation in this area. He assured the Court that they want to do their part, that they are now expanding their plant and hope to be able to continue to do so. Mr. Barry said that Carbide had paid 94% of a drainage program because they believed in it, and that they believe Calhoun County offers opportunity to increase in industry. He said that if taxes are kept down, other industries can be brought in here. I Mr. Barry said that they expect to have about 1000 additional employees when their expansion is complete but that many of their employees live out of Calhoun County, and when the construction is finished the construction people will be leaving. He urged that these points be given consxeration and warned against a too optimistic outlook for the long run. Judge Hartzog told the group that the Court may be able to give them a tax reduction this year. He said that this tax is a valid levy and all other counties have levied it. Judge Hart~g said that if the full amount of the tax is not levied, they could be given a tax cut; that taxes could be cut or they could be levied; that it depended upon what the Court decided to do. He then told of the projects planned, and the need for right of way on Highway 87. He discussed the hospital expansion and the problem of providing both right of way and hospital expansion. He said that the Court would have to examine their obligations and their operating costs before they reached a decision on this matter: I He said that he had called this meeting for the purpose of general .,~ . discussion of the problems before going into any particular program. The Judge called for further opinions and questions and upon receiving none, thanked the group for attending the meeting. DIVISION OF FLOOD CONTROL FUND Upon a motion made by Commissioner Radtke, seconded by Commissioner Wedig, and unanimously carried, ,the Court approved the division of $700,000.00 Flood Control Fund as follows: Precinct 1.' $172 ,000 .00 Precinct 2. $12,000.00 Precinct 3. $172,000.00 Precinct 4. $344,000.00. Each Commissioner-will advise-the- Engineers, Lockwood & Andrews, as to the structures to be built in each precinct. I r !

I A general discussion, and question and answer period was followed by a presentation of the County tax structure, and appro- priations for obligations, as well ,as a summary of County income by the County Auditor. The County Judge told of the requests of the District Judges for ,an increase in salary, and explained that the County would like to be able to give its employees a better salary. He explained that the County is at a disadvantage in securing employees because it must compete with industry for employees. He also noted that the County now has another obligation .to pay for the hospitalization insurance for its employees, and that altogether, the costs of county business continues to increase. The Judge said that the Hospital Board must determine its minimum requirements for expansion in order for the Court to determine what part of the 30(: tax should be levied; 'that the Court has sixty days in which to detennine whether or not to levy the 30(: tax. I, The Hospital Board agreed to arrive at,a definite recom- mendation and to report back to the Court.
