Claude Everett Construction Company P. 0, Box 25082 Houston, Texas Attention: Mr. C. H. Everett, Jr. Gentlemen: At a regular meeting on February 7, 1962, the Calhoun County Commissioner's Court considered your letter of January 31, 1962, addressed to Lockwood, Andrews and Newnam about replace- ment of the Shore Protection Wall at Port O'Connor which was damaged by Hurricane "Carla". The Court has instructed me to reply to your letter and report to you the action taken by the Court. I ~ 23 The Commissioner's Court reaffirmed its op~n~on that re- placement of the damaged wall is your full responsibility, and that such work should be performed at no cost to the County. The Court's position is based on the Specifications for the project and upon your letter to the Court dated Dec- ember 18, 1961. I The provisions of the Specifications upon which the Court has reached its decision may,be outlined as follows: 1. Paragraph 1-30 LOSSES FROM NATURAL CAUSES on page 1-7 of the Specifications clearly states that losses arising out of the nature of the work or caused by the action of the elements shall be borne by the Contractor.. 1'-0 Ci') "-t' <( ~ '"":l 2. Paragraph 1-26 EQUIPMENT. MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION PLANT, on page 1-6 of the Specifications states that the Con- tractor shall be respGnsible for the care, preservation, con- servation, and protection of any and all parts of the work, whether the Contractor has been paid, partially paid or not paid for such work until the entire work is completed and ac- cepted. I In addition to the prov~s~ons of the Specifications the Court feels that you accepted the responsibility for replacing the damaged wall at your expense in your letter to the Court dat- ed December 18, 1962. On page 2 of your letter, under the head- ing Port 0' Connor, Item 2 Other Work states "Complete all addi- tional work as required by the plans and Specifications." On the same page of your letter, the last sentence states, "The above work will be performed at no increase in the Contract price." In view of the provisions of the Specifications, the Court interpreted these two sentences as your committment to replace the damaged sea wall. Insofar as your suggestion that a ch~nge in scope is involved by altering the wall alignment at Port O'Connor, the Court again must disagree. Paragraph 1-19, CHANGES AND ALTERATIONS, on page 1-5 of the Specifications permits the Owner to make changes in alignment. It should also be noted that the change in alignment reduces rather than increases the length of damaged wall to be replaced. I In view of the above, the Court does not feel that it has any obligation to bear any of the cost of replacing the damaged wall, nor does the Court feel that any "extra work" is involved. It is therefore the Court's position that you have contracted responsibility to replace the damaged wall and complete the work at no increase in the Contract price. The Court has instructed its engineers, Lockwood, Andrews and Newnam to write you again and request you to resume work. The Court sincerely hopes that it will have your full cooperation in the remainipg work on this project. Sincerely, Howard G. Hartzog, County Judge 24 FARM TO MARKET ROAD NO. 1090 RIGHT OF WAY MAP Upon a motion made by Commissioner Wedig, seconded by Com- missioner Barton, and carried, that the Texas Highway Depart- ment Right of Way map of Calhoun County Farm to Market High- way No. 1090 be approved for filing and the Clerk is instruct- ed to record said map in the proper records of his office.

Motion carried. CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENT FOR RIGHT OF WAY PROCUREMENT STATE OF TEXAS x X X COUNTY OF TRAVIS COUNTY PROJECT HIGHWAY Calhoun 180-1 State 35 This agreement entered into this day of 1962, by and between the State of Texas, acting by and through the Texas Highway Department, hereinafter called the State, and Calhoun County, I -2:ff@- 4-8 Texas, acting by and through its Commissioners Court Order dated hereinafter called the County. duly authorized official under day of , 1962, WHEREAS, the State has deemed it necessary to make certain highway improvements on Highway No. 35: from Refugio County Line, Northeast I to Green Lake, and which section of highway improvements will nec- essitate the acquisition of certain right of way, and, WHEREAS, it is agreed that such right of way purcli.ase shall be by joint effort of the State and the County; NOW, ~~REFORE be it AGREED that acquisition of such right of way shall be in accordance with the terms of this contract. The State hereby authorizes and requests the County to proceed with acquisi- tion and the State agrees to reimburse the County for its shane of the cost of such right of way providing such acquisition and reimbursement ' and accomplished according to the provisions out- lined herein and agreed to by both parties hereto. LOCATION SURVEYS AND PREPARATION OF RIGHT OF WAY DATA: The State, without cost to the County, will do the necessary preliminary engineering and title investigation in order to supply to tli.e County the data and instruments necessary to obtain acceptable title to the desired right of way. DETERMINATION OF RIGHT OF WAY VALUES: The County agrees to make a determination of property values for each right of way parcel I by methods acceptable to the County and to submit to the State's 'District Office a tabulation of the values so determined, sign- ed by the appropriate County representative. Such tabulation shall list the parcel numbers, ownership, acreage, and recom- mended compensation. Compensation shall be shown in the com- ponent parts of land taken, itemization of improvements taken, and (if a parcial taking) damages, if any, or enhancements, if any, to the remainder. This tabulation shall be accompanied by an explanation to support the determined values, together with a copy of information or reports used in arriving at determined values. Such work will be performed by the County at its ex- pense without cost participation by the State. The State will review the data submitted and may base its reimbursement on the values as determined by this review. The State, however, reser- ves the right to perform at its own expense any additional in- vestigation deemed necessary, including supplemental appraisal work by State employees or by employment of fee appraisers, all as may be necessary for determination of values to constitute the basis for State reimbursement. If at any stage of the project development it is determined by I mutual agreement between the State and the County t~at there should be waived the requirements that the County submit to the State property value determinations for any part or all of the required right of way, the County will make appropriate written notice to the State of such waiver, such notice to be acknowledged I co CiJ <::i'" ~ ~ '"":i I I 49 in writing by the State. In instances of such waiver, the State by its due processes and at its own expense will make a determina- tion of values to constitute the basis for State reimbursement. NEGOTIATIONS: The State will notify the County as soon as possible as to the State's determination of value. Negotiation and settle- ment with the property owner will be the responsibility of the County without participation by the State; however, the County will notify the State immediately prior to closing the transaction so that a current title investigation may be made to determine if there has been any change in the title. The County will deliver properly executed deeds which together with any curative instru- ments found to be necessary as a result of the State's title in- vestigation will prDperly vest title in the State for each right of way parcel involved. The costs incidental to negotiation and the costs of ,recording the right of way instruments will be the responsibility of the County. The cost of title investigation will be the responsiblity of the State. CONDEMNATION: Condemnation proceedings will be initiated at a time selected by the County and will be the County's responsibility at its ,own expense except as hereinafter indicated. The County will obtain from the State, without cost, current title information and engineering data at the time condemnation proceedings are to be initiated. Except as hereinafter set forth, the County will con- currently file condemnation proceedings and notice of lis pendens for each ase in the name of the State, and in each case so filed the judgment of the court will decree title to the property con- demned in the name of the State. The County will accomplish the legal procedures and curative matters found to be necessary as a result of the State's title investigation, fulfilling the obliga- tion to properly vest title in the State of Texas. The County may, as set forth herein under "Excess Takings", enter condemna- tion proceedings in its own name. COURT COSTS, COSTS OF SPECIAL COMMISSIONERS' HEARINGS AND APPRAISAL EXPENSE: Court costs and costs of Special Commissioners' hearings assessed against the State or County in condemnation proceedings conducted on behalf of the State, and fees incident thereto, will be paid by the County. Such costs and fees as are applicable to the requested right of way, with the exception of recording fees, will be eligible for 50 per cent State reimbursement under the established reimbursement procedure provided such costs and fees are eligible for payment by the State under existing State law. Where the County uses the State's appraisers employed on a fee basis in Special Commissioners' hearings or subsequent appeals, the cost of the appraiser of updating his report, of preparing new reports, preparing for court testimony and appearing in court to testify in support of his appraisal will be paid direct by the County, but will be eligible for 50 per cent State reimbursement under established reimbursement procedure provided prior approval for such appraiser has been obtained from the State. The ~ee paid the appraiser by the Caunty shall bein accordance with the fee schedule set forth in the appraiser's contract for appraisal ser- vices with the State. Reimbursement for court costs, costs of Special Commissioners' hearings and the cost of the State's ap- praiser as herein set forth will not be paid by the State where the property condemned involves an excess taking, unless the State approves the excess taking. 50 EXCESS TAKING: In the event the County desires to acquire land in excess of that requested by the State for right of way purposes, the State's cost participation will be limited to the property needed for right of way purposes. If the County elects to acquire the entire property, including the excess taking, by a single instrument of conveyance or in one eminent domain proceeding, the property involved will be. acquired in the name of the County and that portion requested by the State for right of way will be con- veyed to the State. The State's participation will be based,on the State's approved value of that part requested for right of way purposes, providing such approved value does not exceed actual pay- ment made by the County. DISPOSAL OF IMPROVEMENTS: It is agreed that the State's participa- tion in the cost of improvements will be based upon approved values. The disposition of improvements may be in accordance with State Highway Department Administrative Order 8-57, a copy ,of which is attached hereto and marked Exhibit "A!'. Where the owner retains an improvement, which is to. be moved by either the County or the owner, the maximum amount in which the State will participate is that figure derived from an application of the provisions of Admin- istrative Order 8-57. In the event the improvements which are, in whole or part, a part of the right of way taking are not retain- ed by the owner, title is to be secured in the name of the State. The State will participate in the acquisition of a structure severed by the right of way line if the part of the house, building or simi- lar structure outside the right of way cannot be reconstructed ade- quately or there is nothing but salvage left, and provided title to the entire structure is taken in the name of the State. The State shall dispose of all improvements acquired. Revenue derived by the State from the disposition of any improvements will be credited to the cost of the right of way ppocured. RELOCATION OF UTILITIES: If the required right of way encroaches upon an existing utility located on its own right of way and the proposed highway construction requires the adjustment, removal or relocation of the utility facility, the State will establish the necessity for the utility work. State participation in the cost of making the necessary change, less any resulting increase in the value to the utility and less any salvage value obtainable, may be obtained by either the "actual cost" or"lump. sum" procedures. Reimbursement under "actual cost" will be made subsequent to the County's certification that the work has been completed and will be made in an amount equal to 50 per cent of the eligible items of cost as paid to the untility owner. The "lump sum" procedure requires that the State establish the eligibility of the utility work and enter into a three party agreement with the owners of the utility facilities and the County which sets forth the exact lump sum amount of reimbursement based ona prior appraisal. The utility will be reimbursed by the County after proper certification by the utilities that the work has been done, said reimbursement to,be on the basis of the prior lump sum agreement. The State will reim- burse.the County in an amount equal to 50 per cent of the firm commitment as paid to the utility owner. The foregoing is subject to the provision that the individual lump sum approved value shall not exceed $20,000.00, except as specifically approved by the State. In those cases where a signle operation is estimated to ex- ceed $20,000.00, the tvansaction will be brought to the attention of the State for determination of proper handling based upon the circumstances involved. Such utility firm commitment will be an appropriate item of right of way. The adjustment, removal or re_ location of any ; utility line on publicly owned right of way by sufferance or permit will not be eligible for State reimbursement. I I I I 00 OJ '::J'< "1: < "":l I I 51 The term "utility" under this contract shall include publicly, pri- vately, or cooperatively owned utilities. FENCING REQUIREMENTS: The County may either pay the property owner for his existing right of way fences based on the value such fence contribute to the part taken and damages for an unfenced condition resulting from the right of way taking, in which case the esti- mated value of such right of way fences and such damages will be included in the recommended value and the approved value, or the County may do the fencing on the property owner's remaining pro- perty. Where the County performs right of way fencing as a part of the total right of way consideration, neither the value of existing right of way fences nor damages for an unfenced will be included in the recommended value or the approved value. State partici- pation in the County's cost of constJucting right of way fencing on the property owner's remainder may be based either on the actual cost of the fencing or on a predetermined lump sum amount. The State will be given credit for any salvaged fencing material and will not participate in any overhead costs of the County. If State participation is to be requested on .the lump sum basis, the State and the County will reach an agreement prior to the actual accomplishment of work as to the necessity, eligibility, and a firm commitment as to the cost of the entire ~encing work to be performed. The foregoing is subject to the provision that the lump sum approved cost shall not exceed $20,000.00, except as specifically approved by the State. In case ~he fencing is esti- mated to exceed $20,000.00, the tranaction will be brought to the attention of the State for determination of proper handling based upon the circumstances involved. REIMBURSEMENT: The State will reimburse the County for right of way acquired after the date of this contract in an amount not to exceed 50 per cent of the cost of the right of way acquired in accordance with the terms and provisions of this agreement. The State's reimbursement will be in the amount of 50 per cent of the State's predetermined value of each parcel, or the net cost thereof, whichever is the lesser amount. If condemnation is necessary and title is taken as set forth herein under the section headed "Condemnation", the participation by the State shall be based on the final judgment, conditioned that the State has been notified in writing prior to the filing of such suit and prompt notice is also given as to all action taken therein. The State shall have the right to become a party to the suit at any time for all purposes, including the right of appeal at any stage of the proceedings. All other items of cost shall be borne by the State and the County as provided by other provisions of this agree- ment. If a lump sum fencing or utility adjustment agreement has been executed, the State will reimburse the County in the amount of 50 per cent of the predetermined lump sum cost of the right of way fencing or utility adjustment. If the County prefers not to execute a lump sum agreement for either fencing or utility adjustments, the State will reimburse on the actual cost of such adjustments. The County's request for re- imbursement will be supported by a breakdown of the labor, materials, and equipment used. 52 COMMISSIONERS' COURT OF CALHOUN COUNTY, TEXAS THE STATE OF TEXAS By: (s) Howard G.

RECOMMENDED F9R APPROVAL District Engineer Supervising Program Engineer Chief Engineer of Highway Design Right of Way Engineer ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 8~57 SUBJECT: POLICY ON DISPOSAL OF IMPROVEMENTS ON STATE PURCHASED RIGHT OF WAY TO: ALL DISTRICT ENGINEERS, ENGINEER-MANAGER AND DIV. HEADS Gentlemen: The rapid progress of the State Right of Way Purchase Program in- dicates the necessity of having a well defined policy for the dis- I I I 00 OJ '<j' ...ct ~ '"".:l I I 53 position of improvements purchased with highway rights of way. In arr~v~ng at a workable plan, the Right of Way Division studied the procedures used by a number of cities and states as well as the Texas Turnpike Authority. The most feasible plan appears to be one based upon the fixed percentage of the appraised value of the improvement. The cost to the property owner to retain his im- provement will be figured as indicated below: 1. Frame Buildings (a) Pier or Block Foundation. The owner will be permitted to retain this type of structure if he consents to reducing the purchase price for his property by an amount equal to 20% of the appraised value of the retEined improvement. (b) Continuous Beam Foundation. The owner will be permit- ted to retain this type of structure if he consents to reducing the purchase price for his property by an amount equal to 15% of the appraised value of the retained improvement. (c) Concrete Slab Foundation. The owner will be permit- ted to retain this type of structure if he consents to reducing the purchase price for his property by an amount equal to 10% of the appraised value of the retained improvement. 2. Brick, Rock, Stone, Veneer and Stucco Buildings. (a) Pier or Block Foundation. The owner will be permit- ted to retain this type of structure if he consents to reducing the purchase price for his property by an amount equal to 15% of the appraised value of the retained improvement. (b) Continuous Beam Foundation. The owner will be permit- ted to retain this type of structure if he consents to reducing the purchase price for his property by an amount equal to 10% of the appraised value of the retained improvement. (c) Concrete Slab Foundation. The owner will be permit- ted to retain this type of structure if he consents to reducing the purchase price of his property by an amaunc equal to 5% of the appraised value of the re- tained improvement. 3. Miscellaneous Improvements, e.g. well pumps, fences, etc., may be retained by the owner if he consents to reduc- ing the purchase price for his property by an amount equal to 20% of the appraised value of the retained improvement. Any improvements bought under the State Right of Way Purchase Plan which are to be sold and not relinquished to the property owners in accordance with the above plan will be disposed of through the Board of Control. Where an owner elects to retain improvements under the above procedure, the Contract of Sale or the Memorandum of Agreement shall include a provision covering the agreement and 54 fixing a time limit for removal of the improvement. In anticipation of the possibility of the property owner desiring to retain his improvements, the appraisal report reviewer shall establish. the basic offer value of each improvement which recom- . mended price should be forwarded to D-15 .along with the recommend- ed offer price for the total parcel.

CONDEMNATION: Condemnation proceedings will be initiated at a time selected by the County and will be the County's responsibility at its own expense except as hereinafter indicated. The County will obtain from the State, without cost, current title information and engineering data at the time condemnation proceedings are to be initiated. Except as hereinafter set forth, the Cou~ty will con- currently file condemnation proceedings and a notice of lis pendens for each case in the name of the State, and in' each case in the name of the State, and in each case so filed the judgment of the court will decree title to the property condemned in the name of the State. The County will accomplish the legal procedures and curative matters found to be necessary as a result.of the State's title investigation, fulfilling the obligation to properly vest title in the State of Texas. The County may, as set forth herein under "Excess takings" enter condemnation proceedings in its own name. 56 COURT COSTS, COSTS OF SPECIAL COMMISSIONERS' HEARINGS AND APPRAISAL EXPENSE: Court costs and costs of Special Commissioners' hearings assessed against the State or County in condemnation proceedings conducted on behalf of the State, and fees incident therefo, will - be paid by the County. Such costs and fees as are applicable to the requested right of way, with the exception of recording _fees will be eligible for 50 per cent State reimbursement under the established reimbursement procedure provided such costs and fees are eligible for payment by the State under existing State law. Where the County uses the State's appraisers employed on a fee basis in Special Commissioners' hearings or subsequent appeals, the cost of the appraiser of updating his report, of preparing new reports, preparing for court testimony and appearing ,in court to testify in support of his appraisal will be paid direct by the County, but will be eligible for 50 per cent State reimburse- ment under established reimbursement procedure provided prior approval for such appraiser has been obtained from the State. Reimbursement for court costs, costs of Special Commissioners' hearings and the ,cost of the State's appraiser as herein set forth will not be paid by the State where the property condemned involves an excess taking, unless the State approves the excess taking. EXCESS TAKING: In the event the County desires to acquire land in excess of that requested by the State for right of way pur- poses, the State's cost participation will be limited to the pro- perty needed for right of way purposes. If the County elects to acquire the entire property, including the excess taking, by a single instrument of conveyance or in one eminent domain proceeding, the property involved will be acquired in the name of the County and that portion requested by the State for right of way will be conveyed to the State. The State's participation will be based on the State's approved value of that part request- Ded for right,~f way purposes, providing such approved value does not exceed actual payment made by the County. DISPOSAL OF IMPROVEMENTS: It is agreed that the State's parti- cipation in the cost of improvements will be based upon-approved calues. The disposition of improvements may be in accordance with - State Highway Department Administrative Order 8-57, a copy of wlich is attached hereto and marked Exhabit "A". Where the ~'owner retains an improvement, which is to be moved by either the County or the owner, the maximum amount in which the State will parti- cipate is that figure derived from an application of the provi- sions .of Administrative Order 8-57. In the event the improvements which are, in whole or part, a part of the right of way taking are not retained by the owner, title is to be secured in the name of the State. The State will participate in the acquis~tion of a structure severed by the right of way line if the part of the house, building or similar structure outside the right of way cannot be reconstructed adequiately or there is nothing but sal- vage left, and provided title to the entire structure is taken in the name of the State. The State shall dispose of all improve- ments acquired. Revenue derived by the State from~ the disposition of any improvements wil~ be credited to the cost of the right of way procured. I I I. I c::J cr; ~ <>..;: ~ P;;i I I 57 RELOCATION OF UTILITIES: If the required right of way encroaches upon an existing utility located on its own right of way and the proposed highway construction requires the adjustment, removal or relocation of the utility facility, the State will establish the necessity for the utility work. State participation in the cost of making the necessary change, less any resulting increase in the value to the utility and less any salvage value obtainable, may be obtained by either the "actual cost" or "lump sum" procedures. Reimbursement under "actual cost" will be made subsequent to the County's certification that the work has been completed and will be made in an amount equal to 50 per cent of the eligible items of cost as paid to the utility owner. The "lump sum" procedure requires that the State establish the eligibility of the utility work and enter into a three party agreement with the owners of the utility facilities and the County which sets forth the exact lump sum amount of reimbursement based on a prior appraisal. The utility will be reimbursed by the County after proper certifica- tion by the utility that the work has been done, said reimburse- ment to be on the basis of the prior lump sum agreement. The State will reimburse the County in an amount equal to 50 per cent of the firm commitment as paid to the utility owner. The fore- going is subject to the provision that the individual lump sum approved value shall not exceed $20,000.00, except as specifically approved by the State. In those cases where a siggle operation is estimated to exceed $20,000.00, the transaction will be brought to the attention of the State for determination of proper handling based upon the circumstances involved. Such utility firm commit- ment will be an appropriate item of right of way. The adjustment, removal or relocation of any utility line on publicly owned right of way by sufferance or permit will not be eligible for State reimbursement. The term "utility" under this contract shall in- clude publicly, privately,.or cooperatively owned utilities. FENCING REQUIREMENTS: The county may. either pay the property owner for his existing right of way fences based on the value such fence contributes to the part taken and damages for an unfenced condi- tion resulting from the right of way taking, in which case the estimated value of such right of way fences and such damages will be included in the recommended value and the approved value, or the County may do the fencing on the property owner's remaining property. Where the County performs right of way fencing as a part of the total right of way consideration, neither the value of existing right of way fences nor damages for an unfenced condition will be included in the recommended value or the approved value. State participation in the County's cost of constructing right of way fencing on the property owner's remainder may be based either on the actual cost of the fencing or on a predetermined lump sum amount. The State will be given credit for any salvaged fence material and will not participate in any overhead costs of the County. If State participation is to be requested on. the lump sum basis, the State and the County will reach an agreement prior to the catual accomplishment of work as to the necessity, eligibility, and a firm commitment as to the cost of the entire, fencing work ,to be performed. The foregoing is subject to the provision that the lump sum approved cost shall not exceed $20,000.00, except as r;Q 1:......0 specificaliy.approved by the State. In case the fencing is estimated.to exceed $20,000.00, the transaction will be brought to the attention of the State for determination of proper hand- ling based upon the circumstances involved. REIMBURSEMENT: The State will reimburse the County for right of I way acquired after the date of this contract in an amount not to exceed 50 per cent of the cost of the right of way acquired in a~cordance with the terms and provisions of this agreement. The State's reimbursement will be in the amount of 50 per cent of the State's predetermined value of each parcel, or the net cost thereof, whichever is the lesser amount. If condemnation is necessary and title is taken as set forth herein under the section headed "Condemnation", the participation by the State shall be based on the final judgment, conditioned that the State has been notified in writing prior to the filing of such suit and prompt notice is also given as to all action taken therein. The State shall have the right to become a party to the suit at any time for all purposes, ;including the right to appeal at any stage of the proceedings. All other items of cost shall be borne by the State and the County as provided by .other provisions of this agreement. If a lump sum fencing or utility adjustment agreement has been executed, the State will reimburse the County in the amount of 50 per cent of the predetermined lump sum cost of the right of way fencing or utility adjustment. If the County prefers not to execute a lump sum agreement for either fencing or utility adjustments, the State will reimburse on the actual cost of such adjustments. ,The County's request for reimbursement will be supported by a breakdown of the labor, materials and equipment used. I GENERAL: It is understood that the terms of this agreement shall apply only to right of way authorized and requested by the Texas Highway Department which is needed and not yet dedicated, in use, or previously acquired in the name of the State or County for highway, street, or road purposes. It is further understood that if unusual circumstances develop in the right of way acquisition which are not clearly covered by the terms of this agreement, such unusual circumstances'or problems will be resolved by mutual agreement between the State and the County.

In arriving at a workable plan, the Right of Way Divi- sion studied the procedures used'by a number of cities and states as well as the Texas Turnpike Authority. The most feasible plan appears to be one based upon the fixed percentage of the appraised value of the improvement. The cost to the property owner to retain his improvement will be figured as in- dicated below: 1. Frame Buildings (8) Pier or Block Foundation. The owner will be per- mitted to retain this type of structure if he consents to reducing the purchase price for his property by an amount equal to 20% of the appraised value of the retained improvement. I (b) Continuous Beam Foundation. The owner will be per- mitted to retain this type of structure if he con- sents to reducing the purchase price of his pro- perty by an amount equal to 15% of the appraised value of the retained improvement. (c) Concrete Slab Foundation. The owner will be permitted to retain this type of structure if he consents to reducing the purchase price for his property by an amount equal to 10% of the appraised value of the retained improvement. 60 2. Brick, Rock, Stone, Veneer and Stucco Buildings. (a) Pier or Block Foundation. The owner will be per- mitted to retain this type of structure if he consents to reducing the purchase price of his I property by an amount equal to 15% of the apprais- ed value of the retained improvement. (b)C6!\tinuous Beam Foundation. The owner will be permitted to retain this type of structure if he consents to reducing the purchase price for his property by an amount equal to 10% of the appraised value of the retained improvement. (c) Concrete Slab Foundation. The owner will be per- mitted to retain this type of structure if he consents to reducing the purchase price for his property by an amount equal to 5% of the apprais- ed value of the retained improv~ment. 3. Miscellaneous Improvements ,E. G., well pumps, fences, etc., may be retained by the owner if he consents to reducing the purchase price for his property by an amount equal to 20% of the appraised value of the re- tained improvement. Any improvements bought under the State Right of Way Purchase I Plan which are to be sold and not relinquished to the property owners in accordance with the above plan will be disposed of through the Board of Control. Where an owner elects to retain improvements under the above procedure, the Contract of Sale or the Memorandum of Agreement shall include a provision cover- ing the agreement and fixing a time limit for removal of the imp~ovement . In anticipation of the possibility of the property owner de- siring to retain his improvements, the appraisal report reviewer shall establish the basic offer value of each improvement which recommended price should be forwarded to D-l5 along with the re- commended offer price for the total parcel.

SHORE PROTECTION A meeting was attended by all members of the Commissioners' Court, Mr. Smith of the Bonding Company; Contractor Mr. Claude Everett and his foreman Mr~ Schoolcraft and Engineers Mr. Klotz and McDonald, I for the purpose of discussing problems affecting the Shore Protection projects in Commissioners Precincts Nos. 2, 3 and 4. Mr. Kabela pointed out that the project at Six Mile Park needed more shell and leveling and the channel needed to be dug. He felt that the County was due a credit for deficiencies in work- manship on the wall. Mr. Lindsey pointed out that the pr01ect at Olivia needed grouting in the wall to prevent undermining of back fill. At the Point Com- fort site the asphalt surfaced area had "bird baths" in it which needed to be filled so water would not stand and allow proper drainage, and that the groin or separation wall piling were placed in uncompacted soil by trenching instead of by driving and felt that the County was due a credit for the deficiencies in workman- ship on both projects, also boat ch~nnel needed to be dug. Mr. Barton pointed out that the Seadrift project needed grouting of wall to prevent undermining of back fill and recommended payment of his estimate. Mr. Klotz stated that the Point Comfort wall was trenched for the I first 80 feet and the remainder of the wall driven about 2 feet for pinning. He recommended payment on the wall of that portion over the 80 feet and it was his opinion that after the One (1) year guarantee period the wall would be O.K. because the soil would compact and the wall would be adequate. Mr. Everett gave a progress report that the Port O'Connor project would resume shortly with work on wall and fill. He stated the I 00 OJ <:j'" . ..~ ~ '"":l I I 67 piling casting would begin Monday and would require about 14 days to install the piling and dredging of fill would begin in 15 days. He stated it would take him six or seven weeks to reach final completion of all projects. He stated that he planned to cut the boat channel at Point Comfort by washing with a tug boat but that he had to wait until the groin or separation wall was installed. He stated that it was his intention to wait until spring so that the channel would stay open. He pointed out that as to the groin at Point Comfort that water compaction returns soil to near ori- ginal condition and that the pilings were installed according to the suggestions of the engineers- as to change of or altered method of installation. Mr. Lindsey asked if the Contractor would guarantee the wall for three years and he received a "no" answer; Mr. Klotz stated that the wall, was adequate for the purpose for which it was intended which was to cut off the effluent from the sewer drain and that the guarantee period was sufficient since the consolidation of materials would occur in one year. He stated that the first 80 feet of the wall should be watched during the guarantee period. He stated that the shore protection wall was adequate but that the appearanc~ was not as desired. Everett stated that the groin wall was trenched to provide the best appearance within the structural requirements, also that the tolerance in the specifications accounted for the "bird baths" in the asphalt surface and that the ones there were very shallow and very few. He stated the asphalt topping was placed on cement stabalized shell. Whereupon ~ motion was made by Commissioner Lindsey and seconded by Commissioner Barton that the Court accept the recommendations of Mr. Klotz, Engineer; (that the Court recognize deficiencies in the work in its present condition, the County has 10% retainage on all work and has 100% guarantee after completion and that the 10% re- tainage is sufficient to cover all deficiencies; that the County pay the estimates and retain 10% until the Contractor has performed ac- cording to his letter of December 18, 1961, recorded in Volume L of the Minutes of Commissioners' Court, and his assurances to the Court, then the County release the 10% retainage.After the retain- age is released the County will still have 100% guarangee for One (1) year.) and that the Court pay the two estimates #10 and #11 and resume payments as estimates are submitted. The motion was unanimously carried, HOSPITAL EXPANSION Upon a motion made by Commissioner Barton, seconded by Commissioner Wedig and unanimously carried, that Suction System be stubbed in at Hospital at a,cost of $746.00, going to operating rooms, nursery, delivery room and recovery room on lower floor and the nursery and delivery room on second floor. The tube system was discussed and explained by Mr. Green from the Grover Company, Detroit, Michigan, that this could be stubbed in for a cost of $2335.00 in walls only and that he would give the Court one week,at this price,to decide. The Court decided to de- lay its decision for one week. 68 DEPUTY - SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT ~onora~le County Judge, Howard G. Hartzog and Commissioner's Court March 16, 1962 RE: Joe A.

TEXAS We, the members of the Calhoun County Navigation District, feel. that the present rate of compensation per day for the members is.inadequate because of the increased time and responsibility necessary to carry on the duties of the District. The District, at ~his time, is in full operation digging a deep water channel to Alcoa, which project involves millions of dollars, and in order to properly meet our responsibilities we must devote many hours to studying and investigation so that our meeting time is only a small part of our work for the District. We are only compensated for our meetings and days spent out of town' engaged in District work. Therefore, we respectfully petition and request this Commissioners Court to increase the per diem compensation for the members of the Navigation Commission to a minimum of $50.00 per day. (s) Jean Day Jean Day, Secretary I Upon a motion made by Commissioner Wedig, seco~ded by Commissioner Kabela, and unanimously carried, that an increase to $50.00 per day be granted the members of the Nayigation Commission.

Houlihan County Auditor Re: Bids on Kitchen Equipment Work Gentlemen: In reviewing the bids for the kitchen equipment for Calhoun Memorial Hospital, we found the low bid was submitted by Cen- tral Kitchen Equipment, Inc., of Corpus Christi, Texas. Their baSfbid of $20,270.00 was $5,257.00 lower than the next bid- der which was an obvious error. We telephoned the low bidder, telling them their bid was low, but that it should be checked for error. We did not give them any other information. They called back within the hour, in- forming us that an error of $4,342.00 had been made, and that amount should be added to their bid figure, making the bid $24,612.00. We informed them that they could submit a new proposal, but that we would not ,recommend the bid be accepted. A new pro- posal was submitted the next day with a base figure of $25,610.00 which was approximately $1,000.00 higher than what we had dis- cussed by telephone. We called them for an explanation of the new base figure, and they informed us that another error had been found - - hence, the final figure. We feel that there are a few too many errors for us. The next lowest bidder is Commercial Kitchens, Inc. of Houston, Texas with a base bid of $25,527.00, and a Deductive Alternate of $3,490.00, resulting in a net figure of $22,037.00. This firm has just completed a Kitchen Equipment contract for us in the Refugio Hospital with excellent results. Our recommenda- tion is to accept the Commercial Kitchen bid. Enclosed is Change Order #6 which will revise the Kitchen Area for the Deductive Alternate #1 of the Kitchen Equipment bid. We are also enclosing Central Kitchen's latest bid.

I ALL MEMBERS PRESENT APRIL lO, 1962 X CIVIL DEFENSE - FALL OUT SHELTER LICENSE STATE OF TEXAS }: X COUN'lY OF CALHOUN X TO: James H. Garner, State Coord. Kenneth Haegy, Ch.Eng. Div. U.S.Corps of Engineers On motion made by Clarence Barton, seconded by Wayne Lindsey, the County Judge of Calhoun County was authorized to execute the attached fallout shelter license and privilege for the use of Civil Defense Headquarters, the County Courthouse, and that there be attached as a part of such grant of privilege the following information for the consideration of the U. S. Engineers prior to acceptance. The Commissioners Court of Calhoun County desires to advise you that in connection with this offered grant of privilege, before your acceptance of this license, you must evaluate as follows: I I. The Courthouse is an aluminum skin wall building with less than 3 inches of fiberglass insulation and with vast areas of glass which cannot be sealed against radiation. There are no unused storage rooms suitable to store supplies as proposed. That all supplies will have to be stored in the sub-County Courthouse building and not in the Courthouse, such building is already designated by the State Civil Defense office. II. That there is no need for marking signs on the interior of the building because of the fact that only the rear part of the interior hallways, which open upon the glassed in foyer, will . give any degree of fallout protection, and then only if the open hallways are sealed and sand bagged. III. I That except for ,the already crowded mechanical equipment basement, it offers no true protection from an atomic blast or fallout, over that of any standard home. All of these facts were well known to Bovay Engineering Compan~, or could have been considered had an actual inspection from room to 97 room been made, as Bovay engineers designed all of the mechani- cal equipment now crowded into the small basement. IV. I If it difficult for the Court to understand why this struc- ture was so designated unless it was because these private engineers found that only one other building in Port Lavaca, a town of 10,000, to be suitable and in desperation added this structure. It is well to note that along Main Street there are several two-story masonry buildings which are local- ly considered to be much better suited. V. co OJ ~ ~ ~ ~ That the main areas, outsime of the two limited hall corri- dors, must, of course, be reserved for the essential use as Civil Defense Headquarters and for RACES short wave and radio communications, the law enforcement agencies, city police, sheriff and personnel of civil defense, who are to transport supplies by shielded mobile equipment to other shelters. VI. I That to accept this building for such designation would be equivalent to designating the U. S. Engineer Office in Galves- ton as the State Civil Defense Headquarters in Austin. VII. This courthouse was seriously damaged during "Carla" and had the storm lasted an hour longer we would have had to eva- cuate, as the skin wall was beginning to separate. Even in a three day period, without water or public power, living conditions were beginning to be unbearable. VIII. I It must be remembered that any consideration of approval of a several story building, as a fallout shelter is based upon the theory that ruble from upper stories and side walls will' fall so as to form a protective shield over interior corridors and lower floors. This, of course, is not true of a metallic wall or a skin wall building, and if any part of the building is designated, we request an on the ground inspection by the Corps of Engineers and that a limitation be placed upon the numbers to be assigned, that bears a relation to reality and needs, for essential governmental use. The fact that the buildings approved in Calhoun County are totally inadequate makes it obvious that if there is any serious possibility of national danger from fallout, the federal government must provide all the funds necessary for the construction of shelters in Calhoun County because the County Commissioners Court cannot now levy taxes for public improvements, without a change in the Texas Constitution. 98 R,espec tfu~l~y, Sup.!DJ:.ttoe;d,_.

Mr. W. R. Zwerschke Chairman, Aviation Committee 535 Elmhurst Port Lavaca, Texas Dear Bill: I I have been following with much interest the actiuities of the Aviation Committee of the Chamber of Commerce in connection with plans for a county airport. I would like to commend.you and the other members of the committee for the time and effort that has gone into the research of this project. It is my opinion that a properly-planned airport will have good usage for industrial and business purposes. This will be parti- cularly true during the inevitable growth of our community in the next few years. I 00 OJ ~ <t ~ "":;) I I 101 Although I have not seen plans for a specific project it is a pleasure for me to endorse the thinking that will surely produce a well-designed airport with possibilities for the future. . Sincerely, (s) T. F. Anderson T. F. Anderson Operations Manager April 20, 1962 Mr. W. R. Zwerschke Chairman, Aviation Committee Chamber of Commerce Port Lavaca, Texas Dear Bill: As a private pilot and aviation enthusiast, I want to commend you on your work toward an airport for Port Lavaca. This is a project that we have sorely needed for the past six or seven years, and the need is becoming more acute as each year passes. I .have seen the plans for the Piekert strip and heartily en'" dorse them in every respect. Nearly all private and corporate pilots like a strip to be as close to town as possible and the Piekert strip satisfies this requirement. Further the proposed strip is, in my opinion, of sufficient length to adequately serve Port Lavaca's needs for the foreseeable future. If there is ,any way in which I can be of help in pushing the project, please let me know. Sincerely, (s) Howard S. Motley Howard S. Motley April 11, 1962 Mr. W. R. Zwerschke Calhoun County BURne Company Port Lavaca, Texas Dear Billy Ray: I want you to know that I am completely in favor of the efforts you and others are making to help us secure a first-class airport for our town and county. With no disrespect to others in the aviation business, we badly need a first-class hard-service strip which will open up new businesses for our town and county. I urge you to go "full speed ahead" with this planning and to enlist the aid of the city and county in making this airport a reality for us. 102 I commend you for your efforts and encourage you to keep at it hard until this is a reality; Yours very truly, (s) John J. Faubion, Jr. John J. Faubion, Jr. President I April 19, 1962 Mr. W. R. Zwerschke 1813 W. Austin Port Lavaca, Texas Dear Mr. GZwerschke: I have been told that your Chamber of Commerce AVfation Com- mittee is actively working toward a Calhoun County Airport in the vicinity of the Fair Grounds. I believe this is a worthwhile project. Such an airport could be advantggeously used by Union Carbide Corporation planes, .and also by Brown & Root Construction Company planes. Very truly yours, I (s) R. P. Barry Ed Eckert, Chamber of Commerce manager, gave a report of his meeting with Ed Findley of Caudill, Romlett, and Scott, Engineers pointing out the need for a public airport facility and that the engineers felt the proposed area near the fairgroUnds area ~oula be adequate for approximately fifteen years. A short discussion followed regarding probable cost of the pro- ject and property values in the area. Bob Tanner stated his objections to the proposed site and gave a brief history of the move to secure a public airport which started after World War II. His objections were that the area would have a poor safety factor due to proximity to other air- port and residences in the area, that the area was too close to town and it would present a nuisance to area residents. . He sug- I gested that ..the site proposed be withdrawn and a committee be . . appointed to study other sites. ,J1.1dge Hartzog gave a complete financial picture of the county and its committments to projects already under way such as the hospital, right of way acquisitions, bonds, etc.z I e;C) OJ ~ <<!, '~ ""':l I I 103 A discussion on the merits of the proposed site ensued with Judge Hartzog offering a suggestion that the Planning Committee which planned the Courthouse be reactivated to study the project.

My offer to the people of Calhoun County, if the name of the Calhoun Memorial is changed to the Champ Traylor Memorial. is to pay you $lSO,OOO.OO within two years, $50,000.00 to be paid down now, this December, and the $100,000.00 within eighteen months from date; more likely during 1963 as I would prefer. I was ready to make this offer to you in 1960, but Hurricane Carla set me back two years in income, and it was only the very last of this past September that I knew definitely I had enough money to make this offer, and I am calling your attention to how little time we have to act. If you do not accept my offer within a week or ten days I will have to give this money to the hospitals of this county. I I want to do something for all the people of Calhoun County in memory of my husband, Champ Traylor, and this is the best way to do it. It COncerns every person in Calhoun County and not just one body of people. ' If the hospital were named for my husband, I would, of course, continue to give it generous contributions as long asI live. As you know, I am in the higher tax bracket, as was my husband before me., All my income is from Calhoun County and I would like to give some of this money back to the people of this county. You are fortunate in having only one hospital in your county. There are five here in DeWitt, and like yours are hampered for funds to keep up with the growing needs of expansion.

AND FURNITURE The following bids were opened and read: February 28, 1963 I Mr. James Houlihan Calhoun ,County Port Lavaca, Texas Dear Mr. Houlihan: It is a pleasure for me to quote you the following prices on the IBM Selectric Typewriter. This price on one IBM Model 725 l5~" Selectric for the county, $445.50, tax exempt, with the color and type style of your choice. The IBM.Selectric is a completely new concept in electric type- writers that will provide you with more useable speed, meaning more production for your Civil Defense office. The Selectric single element will prevent stacking and jamming of type, caus- ing error-free typing. The elimination of a moving carriage gives you the most dependable electric typewriter on the mar- ket today, providing faster tabulation action for statistical typ ing . The IBM.Selectric with a single typing element gives you more I versatility than any other machine presently on the market. By simply interhchanging typing elements you have a machine with a type design to do any application in your office, .whether it be from stencils to form typing to standard proposal typing. The versatility of the Selectric is a plus feature that I know you will find very useful in your office. I know that you will agree, Mr. Houlihan, that the IBM Selectric is your best investment in office typing. The Selectric offers you the most productive typewriter in the work with more useable speed than any other typewriter presently marketed. It gives you more accuracy in the fact that the typist does not stack or jam the type. It offers you versatility because of the enter- changea~le type styles designed to do every application.

Fine, shifting, dune type sand has been dredged from Matagorda Bay onto this County property and has shifted or drifted over the road and partially onto adja- cent private property to a depth of three (3) and four (4) feet in places, resulting in damage to such property and continuous ,removal costs for the property owners while the private homes on this property are coated inside with fine sandy dust after periods of high winds" It has been the practice of Calhoun County, for many years, to be concer.ned with the condition and upkeep of the roads, streets, and County-owned waterfront property in and around Port O'Connor and to provide suitable access roads for taxpayers to reach their property and adequately safeguard such property from damage due to hazards such as the shifting sand conditions now existing on the Matagorda Bay Front Street. With due respect, we most urgently request that the Commissioners I Court of Calhoun County take these conditions under your immediate consideration and take necessary action to pave the Matagorda Bay Front Street and remove these shifting sands at once, correcting these unsatisfactory conditions which are of vital concern to all living in this community.

One by Frank Moore and others requesting the Court to open and maintain all of Front Street from the State Highway Park on the South to an intersection with Seventh Street on the. North and order the removal of structures from and on said Front Street, of the Olivia Townsite, map is recorded in Volume 2, Page 532 of the deed records of Calhoun County, Texas.

Street on the North, and WHEREAS, there came all of the owners of said property fronting on said street, with the exception of the Texaco Oil Company, whose representatives, by telephone, certified approval of such closure, and WHEREAS, the Court finds, that in regard to the first petition, that it is impractical to maintain said street, because of erosion since 1893 most of said right of way is now below the line of the higher high tide, and its reconstruction would involve unjusti- fiable expenditure and is opposed by the abutting property owners. That with regard to the second petition, the Court finds that the same has been duly published, as provided by Law; that the Court has jurisdiction; that such streets for which closure is requested, although dedicated by a plat of record, filed in 1893, such streets right of way has never been formally accepted by the Commissioners' Court, opened ,or maintained by the County; that the town of Olivia has never been incorporated and the control of such streets are under the jurisdiction of the Commissioners'Court; that the petitioning property owners are the sole and only abutting pro- I perty owners upon such street; that the other property owners in said Townsite and subdivisions will have access by other connecting streets which are now open and no injustice will be done by the closure of such streets for which closure is request- ed - provided all, existing rights for pipelines and utility ease- ments are reserved. THEREFORE IT IS ORDERED, that the property owners petitioning such closure shall have prepared a plat of said Olivia Townsite, disclosing the streets which are to be closed, the additional 331 acreage returned to said abutting owners, and file the same with the County Tax Assessor-Collector for re-assessment purposes and record the same, after approval of the Court, in the map and plat records of Calhoun County, Texas. I That upon the filing of such records, it is ordered that all of the right of way area as Second and Third Streets between Front Street and "D" Street, "c" Street between First Street and Third Street, and all of that part of Front Street from the intersection with First Street on the South and the intersection with Fourth Street on the North, be and the same is ordered closed as public streets, and the acreage to the middle of each original street thereof be returned to the adjacent owners, except nothing here- in,contained shall prejudice the easement rights of pipelines or electrical utilities as heretofore granted or maintained along said street rights of way.

QO ~ -::r < <C "":l LIGHTING OF HIGHWAY 35 CAUSEWAY APPROACHES Ed Echert, Manager of the Chamber Court concerning the illumination Causeway. of Commerce, met with the of the approaches to the Commissioners' Court of Calhoun County Gentlemen: I Your Streets and Highway Committee of the Port Lavaca Chamber of Commerce have been studying means of improving the safety to the new causeway. It has been an unanimous opinion that every effort be made to have the approaches, from both the Point Comfort and Port Lavaca side, illuminated. Many of our citizens must cross this causeway daily at all hours of the da~ and night, and in all kinds of weather. We have been in contact with officials of the state highway department and it seems that they are permitted this expenditure only under certain conditions and this structure does not meet their requirements" however, they do not dispute the need for these safety measures. I This committee. has talked with numerous citizens in the county and it has their overwhelming support. Many teenagers from Point Comfort must cross this causeway on their dates and to attend special high school activities after dark and we wish to provide for their safety so far as possible. It is further anticipated a large increase in traffic from vacationers, increased workload in the Point Comfort areas as well as an overall increased traffic on the "hug the. coast" highway. Therefore, the above named com- mittee urge this body to take such steps necessary to secure the proper lighting of the causeway approaches on both the Port Lavaca and Point Comfort sides of the causeway.
