THE STATE OF TEXAS I I COUNTY OF CALHOUN I IN THE COMMISSIONERS' COURT Whereas, Miss Adrian Bierman appeared in behalf of the Bierman Estate, requesting information and assistance of the Court in regard to fencing and maintenance along State Highway No. 35, formerly State Highway No. 59, the Hug the Coast Highway, and The Court finds that a right-of-way easement was granted to the State of Texas, on May 28, 1932, by Mrs. Mary Bierman, Adrian Bierman, Belle Melcher and Ed Melcher, as appears in Volume 20, page 397-8 of the Deed Records; That a search of the Commissioners' Court Minutes reflected in Volume G, page 200, February Term 1932, Judge Carey Leggett presiding, shows that Calhoun County agreed to secure the right-of-way for State Highway No. 59 (now No. 35); That no continuing contractual obligation appears in the record regarding maintenance of fences on the part of the State or the County, because such an agreement would be unlawful and no such agreement has ever been made by the Court; That the fence along said right-of-way, located upon the Bierman Estate property, is the property of the owners of the Estate, and that the owners have the right to remove the same at their convenience and the right of maintaining or rebuilding the same at any time. The Court finds that under the law, the County may not lawfully expend any funds upon a State Highway after its completion and acceptance except through prior legal contracts or commitments; That said easement was and has been the sole property of the State of Texas since 1932, a period of some twenty-six years; That the State of Texas, its agents and employees are responsible for damage, if any, caused by maintenance or improvements to such owners, either to the personal property, or rights of egress or ingress to and from said property, in the same manner as damage caused by trespassors or by any member of the travelling public; 116 That a copy of this finding be forwarded to Mr. W.

I ':'1 (C C": ~':. ~f'\ to-,' ,J 1 I 267 REPORT OF SURVEY OF JACKSON-CALHOUN COUNTY LINE THROUGH CARANCAHUA BAY. TO: HON. COMMISSIONERS COURTS OF CALHOUN AND JACKSON COUNTIES. Pursuant to instructions received from the Calhoun County Commissioners Court and the Jackson County Commissioners Court, Charles W. Hodges, the undersigned County Surveyor of Calhoun County and Mr. R. J. Bryant County Surveyor of Jackson County, met at the accepted corner of Jackson and Calhoun Counties at the Northeast corner of the James Hughson Survey, Calhoun Countu, Texas, on December 14, 1951, and after the swearing in of chairmen, Larry Trevino, Jim Smith, Johnie Skoruppa and J. P. Skoruppa, accroding to Law, proceeded to run out the County line along the North boundary line of said James Hughson Survey to its terminus on the bank of Carancahua Bay. From the terminus of said North line of James Hughson Survey on Canarcahua Bay the meanders of the Shore up Carancahua Bay were Sur- veyed to a point opposite and across the Bay on an extension of the Northeast boundary line of the Sam Houston Survey, Calhoun Coutny, Texas, THENCE by Triangulation the couse and distance across the bay to the Northeast corner of said Sam Houston Survey was calculated. THENCE the meanders of the Shore down Carancahua Bay were surveyed to a point opposite and across the Bay from the aforesaid terminus on Carancahua Bay of the North line of the James Hughson Survey. From the data thus obtained the area of Carancahua Bay was Calculated in order that it might be possible to ascertain what would constitute an approximate equal division of Area to each County, as tentatively authorized by the Minutes of the Commissioners Courts of the respective Counties. The idea of running a line which would be equidistant between the two shores was explored and found to be impractical, as such a line could not be permanently fixed and would be variable as the erosion of or the accretion to shore lines occurred. The advise and assistance of the General Land Office of Texas was solicited, and it was pointed out to us that the submerged areas were already subdivided by tre State of Texas into Drilling Blocks', and that the boundaries of such Drilling Baocks could be located by the use of Plane Coordinates of the Texas Lambert Grid System, and that in order to get an agreed boundary line placed on Official Maps, that it would be~necessary to use Grid Coordinates on the corners and terminus points of such agreed boundary line. After calculations and consideration between your Surveyors the division of Carancahua Bay by the line as hereinafterdiscribed and as shown on the Plat accompanying this report was agreed upon as the dividing line, which we would report to our respective commissioners Courts as being the most logical and Practical boundary line to be arrived at, which would place about equal areas in each County, could be permanently fixed and could be accurately mapped. ' The determination of the Lambert Grid System Coordinates required by this line was undertaken asa joint project by your Surveyors, but we soon discovered that we were faced with the problem that certain U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Triangulation Stations had been des- troyed or had become so surrounded by houses as to be not usable. For Instance, the radio Tower at Camp Hulen was given.as one Triangu- lation point, and this had long since taken down; another point was the cupola of the old Houston Club building at Carancahua Beach, which was destroyed by fire some years ago; another was Triagulation Station "Slaiku" which is under a wooden fe,nce in a cow lot now and cannot be occupied.

S. Coast and Geodetic Survey notifying them of the situaDion and requesting replacement of these Stations and the establishment of new ones nearer to the desired' points. . Your Surveyor decided that since it was impractical at the time to complete our work, that we would suspend the work until such time ,as it could be completed. Mr., Bryant soon afterwards became ill and died before any reaumption of work. After several years the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey made available certain new infromation and the General Land Office of I Texas obtained new data which became available, so that at long last the required coordinates have been secured and proven. Monu- ments have been placed as indicated infue Field Notes below, and this report is now submitted to both courts for final approval. We found that the Act of the Legislature dated April 4, 1846, creating Calhoun County out of Victoria, Jackson and Matagorda Counties defined in part the boundary between Jackson and Calhoun Counties as follows: "THENCE, along its (James Hughson Survey)" northern line to its termination on Carancahua Bay; "THENCE up said Bay, with its meanders, to the North-eastern corner of a survey made for Sam Houston, on the West side of said Bay" (Gammel, H.

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. It is so ordered, this, the 8th day of December, 1959. EMPLOY ENGINEERS FOR SHORE PROTECTION SURVEY On a motion made by Commissioner Radtke, seconded by Commissioner Barton, and unanimously carried, the Court authorized the signing of a contract with Lockwood, Andrews & Newman, Engineers 1 of Victoria, for a survey of shore protection work in Calhoun County.

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,.__.~~ '.;."

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.
