In accordance with action of the City Commission a tabulation of bids received on
January 13, 1969 for one hydraulic sewer cleaning machine, and a recommendation for
pur cha s'e , was presetned to the Commission as follows:
TO THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COMM:ISSION
CITY OF WEST UNIVERSITY PLACE, TEXAS
Gentlemen:
Bids were received on January 13, 1969 for delivery of One (1) - Hi-Velocity Sanitary
and Storm Sewer Pipe Cleaning Unit to be mounted on a cab and truck chassis furnished
by the City. The bids received were referred tome and Water Superintendn~t, H. L.
Vaughn, for tabulation and recommen~ation. A taqulation of the bids received is attached.
An inspection was made of all the units on which bids were received by a representative
of the City. Some of the models were personally inspected by members of the City Com-
mission. Mr. A. L. Bearden, Street Superintendent, was asked to review the pump and
the engine particularly.
To arrive at a decision as to the most desirable unit for our use, we first considered
the three most desirable units
(1) Myers Model PC6810L
(2) John Bean Sewer Kleener
(3) Flexible Pipe Tool Model
FIW-601TM
$8,996.50
$8,894.80
$8,995.00
We did not consider the bids on models by Sanitary Hydrailic, Inc, and TV Pipe
Inspection Company as comparable to the other three in workmanship or quality.
The three most imposrtant components in our oplnlon consists of the pump, engine and
water tank. After reviewing all of the lietrature and make personal inspections of all
the unit, in our opinion it would be to the advantage of the City to purchase the Myers
Model PC6-10L, with Deluxe bed to be fabricated at the F. E. Myers Bros. Company, Ash-
land, Ohio and installed on the City's truck at the Naylor Pipe Cleaning Company's shop
in Pasasdena, Texas.

Particular consideration was given to the three main components and with the special
features such as the pump with porcelain liners, water tank being lined with baked
epoxy, the location and safety feature of the hose reel, and the durability of the
Allis-Chalmers 4 cylinder, 226 cu. inch, 67 HP gaoline engine, water cooled.
It is our belief that the Naylor Pipe Cleaning Company will readily provide the
necessary service and parts in the event they are needed.

Mr. Cockrell was advised by Assistant City Secretary, Mrs. Lee Lockard, that

perty owners as determined by the current tax records of the city, within a

Mr. Cockrell advised those in attendance that if they wished to be heard
either for or against the proposed rezoning, they should come forward and take

Mr. Earl Friday, 3~19 Ruskin
Mr. Guy Robertson, president of Pilgrim Equipment Company and owner of Lots 9,
10 and 11, Block 3, Cunningham Terrace Addition, stated that at the time the
original application was sub@itted to the Zoning and Planning Commission he
presented architect's plans and specifications for improvements he planned to
make on these lots, if rezoned, together with plans and specifications for
Lots 4, 5 and 6, Block 7, Cunningham Terrace which are adjoining lots owned by
Mr. Robertson and zoned for commercial usage.
Mr. Paul Berndt, 3807 Ruskin, asked Mr. Robertson wheat assurance did property
owners in the surrounding area have that a lounge or other business not suit-
able for a residential neighborhood would not be constructed on the property
inasmuch as he ha.d no lease agreements with future tenants. Mr. Robertson
advised Mr. Berndt that he would be happy to sign a deed restriction prohibit-
ing the construction of a lounge on the property.
In answer to a question with regard to construction ofa fence or screening
device, Mr. Robertson stated that he had agreed to bui~d any type or kind of
fence c,onsidered reasonable by the City Manager, Mrs. Paul Berndt, 3807 Ruskin,
then asked Mr. Johnson what he considered to be reasonable. Mr. Johnson advised
Mrs. Berndt that a safe guard of residents of the area was the fact that the
City Attorney and members of the City Commission would prepare an ordinance re-
gulating construction on the property which would include the type, nature, and
design of the fence to be built.
Mrs. Selma Lang, 3915 Ruskin, stated that they had been advised in 1951 that the
area was zoned for single-family residence and that she could not understand
why Mr. Johnson changed his mind as to it ever being zoned otherwise.
Mr . Johnson advised Mrs. Lang that many changes had been made during the past
eighteen years - increased traffic - future paving of Stella Link and Weslayan _
development of business in the immediate area - and a general change 'in the
character of the surrounding property, bringing about a change of attitude

area.
:Mr. Tom Wheat showed photographs of office buildings constructed on stilts with
parking area below as the type construction he hoped to build in the .47 acres
of Block 2, Cunningham Terrace if rezoned.
:Mr. M. Allen Banks, 3409 Charleston, stated that he owned the property located
at 4003,Ruskin, and that he was opposed to any type construction on this property
because of the traffic congestion and parking problems that would surely develop.
:Mr. Banks stated that residents of the area have problems created by employees of
the Telephone Company and that additional commercial construction would only com-
pound these problems.
:Mr . Banks was advised that parking problems could be easily solved by the enforce-
ment of an existing ordinance regulating parking and the provisions of the ordinance
that would be prepared creating a new zoning district if this area is zoned for
commercial use and/or business or professional buildings.
:Mr. Berndt asked whether or not members of the City Commission had provided a copy
of a petition filed by sixty-fi~e (65) area residents with the Zoning and Planning
Commission in protest of the proposed rezoning.
~~. Berndt was advised that their letter had been made a part of the official minutes
of the Zoning and Planning Commission on December 12, 1968 and such minutes were pre-
sented to the City Commission in regular session on December 23, 1968.

WHEREAS, the Congress of the United States is considering several plans

That the City of West University Place,Texas go on record as opposing

that a brochure with !hotographs and detailed information should be mailed well in
advance to the sale of season tickets.

a new high board, storage building, air conditioner in the office, front sprinkling
system and many others. Mr. Niemi stated that it was his belief that the Learn-

In accordance with action by the City Commission, a report and recommendation
dated October 24, 1969 from the Chief of Police on the results of a study made
of the "No Parking" regulations on the west side of Belmont Street between
Bissonnet and Wroxton, was presented. Chief Shipp's report stated that re-
moval of the "No Parking" regulations would create a traffic hazard and it was
his recommendation that the regulations continue to be enforced.
A letter from Mr. and Mrs. John R. Nolan, 3010 Albans Road, advised the Com-
mission that it was their opinion that removal of the "No Parking" regulations
on Belmont at Bissonnet would be dangerous inasmuch as there is not sufficient
room for cars parked on Belmont and two lanes of traffic io move through.
The Commission instructed the City Manager to advise Mr. Jim Wiseheart, 3001
Bissonnet, that in the best interest of the vehicle operators it was necessary
that his request for the removal of the "No Parking" regulations on Belmont
Street between wroxton and Bissonnet be denied.
The Commission was advised that a letter had been received from Mr. Gus Comiskey
representing Comiskey Insurance Agency, the company through which the city's
Workmen's Compensation Insurance is written by Travelers Insurance Company,
setting forth changes in the Workmerr's Compensation benefits as a result of the
passage of Senate Bill #21.

Mr. David G. Edgar, 3128 Lafayette, appeared before the Commission to request
permission to complete construction of a brick retaining wall on his property.
Mr. Edgar stated that the wall construction was begun without knowledge that a
permit was required and also without knowledge that it was on the city's property.
Mr. Edgar further stated that it was his opinion that the construction of the wall
would in no way restrict the easement and that the City Commission could give an
interpretation of the Fence Ordinance in his favor.
The City Attorney advised the Commission that it would appear that the brick re-
taining'wall was in violation of the provision of the fence ordinance which states
that no fence, wall or other structure shall be erected on any lot or private prem-
ises which said fence, wall or other structure shall extend beyond the main wall of
the front of the house located on said lot.
Buildi.ng",;Inspector J. D. Allstott advised the Commission that there were a number
of similiar installations within the city, but that all were constructed prior to
the passage of the fence ordinance. In reply to questions regarding the walls
constructed in the Townhouse District, he advised that the ordinance creating this
district made specific provisions for the walls thereon constructed.
After further discussion the City Attorney was instructed to render a legal inter-
pretation of the question and so advise Mr. Edgar.
