Mayor Neal called the meeting to order in the Basement Training Room of City Hall. City
Secretary Chapa checked the roll and verified that a quorum was present to conduct the meeting. Ms.
Bridges verified that there was a quorum of the Board of Directors of the Corpus Christi Crime
Control and Prevention District. She noted that in addition to herself, the other new officers on the
board are Mr. Baker as the Vice President and Mr. Pool as the secretary.
Ms. Bridges first discussed the crime control district evaluation, which was conducted by Dr.
Phil Rhoades regarding district activities through the fall of 2000, including technology, new
equipment, redirection of youth crime, and other issues. She said the evaluation showed that progress
has been made in reaching the crime control district's goals and she discussed the importance of the
citizen survey. Ms. Bridges added that the board needs to review the district's plan and fine tune it
to ensure that it includes measurable objectives.
Cmdr. Smith, coordinator ofthe crime control district, referred to a handout entitled "Crime
Control and Prevention District Project Review-Year 3." He highlighted the following activities:
directed patrol program and citizen advisory councils; campus crime stoppers program; street
lighting project; canine unit; juvenile curfew and truancy assessment center; and pawn shop detail.
*Council Member Kelly arrived at 12:22 p.m.
Cmdr. Smith also discussed the recent effort by the directed patrol officers to clean up junk

of junk that was picked up with the assistance of several city departments and others, including Code
Enforcement and Neighborhood Improvement, Solid Waste Services, Traffic Engineering, Beautify
Corpus Christi, and volunteers from Naval Air Station-Corpus Christi.
Cmdr. Smith said that after initiating the clean-up project, the organizers realized they had
underestimated the amount of junk that was present and the effort that would be entailed. However,
he said despite the large volume the clean-up was successful and future events are being planned.
He also responded to Council members' questions about the event.
Ms. Bridges said the board has also discussed the upcoming reauthorization of the crime
control district. They voted on holding that election in November 2002 so as to share election costs
with other entities. She said the board is recommending a 10-year renewal period.
Mayor Neal asked that the board prepare a written recommendation for staff and that an item
be placed on an upcoming agenda regarding the district's reauthorization. Council Member Chesney
also asked the board to let the Council know how they can assist in preparing for that event. Ms.
Bridges said it is important to educate the citizens about the strides that the district has made since
its formation, including utilizing organized presentations to community groups. Council Member
Kinnison said Forward Corpus Christi is continuing to remain active and have pledged their support
as well.
Cmdr. Smith said that with regard to the district's budget, they have developed a plan that
takes the district beyond the fifth year and which establishes priorities. Mayor Neal said he would
like Dr. Rhoades to work with the board and the Police Department to establish quantifiable results
of the district's efIorts.
There being no other business, Mayor Neal adjourned the joint meeting at 12:50 p.m. on
August 21, 2001.

*************
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 25, water supply update. City Manager Garcia said
even though this region has experienced droughts in the past, this is the first time it has had two
independent sources of water--the Lake Corpus Christi/Choke Canyon Reservoir and the Mary
Rhodes Pipeline. He said for some time the area has been taking approximately 50% of its drinking
water from the pipeline.
Mr. Ed Garaiia, Water Superintendent, used a computer presentation to review historical
reservoir levels and the projection of future system storage. He said the revised agreed order with
the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC) includes the following conditions:
when the combined reservoir levels drop below 50% of capacity, an enhanced drought awareness
campaign is initiated; below 40%, there is no vegetation watering between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.; and
below 30%, the daytime watering restrictions stay in effect and lawn watering can only be done every
five days; in addition, freshwater pass-through requirements are suspended. Mr. Garaiia also
discussed several enhanced mandatory conservation measures which will be triggered when the
reservoir levels drop below 25% and severe mandatory conservation measures below 20%.
Mr. Garafia responded to Council Member Noyola's question about testing of plumbing lines.
Replying to Council Member Kinnison, Mr. Garcia said it is very hard to estimate the number of
gallons of water saved by implementing the conservation measures. The only measurable
information the city has is the amount of water consumption per month per household. He said when
the reservoir levels drop below 15%, the city will begin to limit the amount of water usage per
household. Mr. Garafia also discussed large non-residential customers and irrigation of golf courses.
Mr. Garcia pointed out that the situation is much different today than it was in 1996 when
the lake levels were at comparable levels because at that time the reservoirs were the region's only
source of water. The situation is not as severe because of the use ofthe Mary Rhodes Pipeline. Mr.
Garaiia said Water Department employees are going out into the community to educate citizens
about conserving water and notifYing them that violations may result in fines up to $500. He added
that by tomorrow the city should have a completed contract for an additional 4,500 acre-feet of
interruptible water from Lake Texana. He said next week staff will make presentations on the
Garwood and desalination action plans. Mayor Neal said next week the Council also needs to review
the reservoir management plan, particularly with regard to drawing down Choke Canyon.
Responding to Council Member Colmenero, Mr. Garafia said that in 1996 the city briefly
implemented Condition III of the drought management plan. He also described regulations regarding
agricultural land and fire hydrants. He said staff expects the lake levels to drop below 25% in
November if there is no significant rain in the reservoirs.
Council Member Garrett asked about the city-owned wells. Mr. Garaiia said it would take
about 30 days to rehabilitate the wells in order for them to be operable. Mr. Garrett asked about
Sinton's water supply, and Mr. Garaiia said it is the only community in the area which has its own
independent water supply (groundwater), meaning it does not utilize Corpus Christi's water supply.

Mr. Kinnison asked about the interruptible water from Lake Texana. Mr. Garaiia said there
is a very good chance that Corpus Christi will be able to receive that water this year. He said the
Garwood Irrigation Company project is located around Bay City and it will draw 35,000 acre-feet
from the Colorado River. Council Member Noyola asked about watering plants. Mr. Garaiia said
potted plants, shrubs, trees, etc. can be watered every day of the week except between 10 a.m. and
6 p.m. Mayor Neal requested an update on the wells next week.
*************
Mayor Neal referred to Item 24, a presentation by the Texas Department of Transportation
(TXDOT) on the Crosstown Expressway (SH 286) extension interchange and other local projects.
Mr. Angel Escobar, Director of Engineering Services, introduced Mr. David Casteel, who became
the TXDOT District Engineer for the Corpus Christi District on August I, 2001. Mr. Casteel
introduced Mr. Eddie Guernsey, one of the primary designers of the interchange project, and Mr.
Steve Rosiek, President of Rosiek Construction, the contractor.
Mr. Casteel noted that the first phase of the project, which was completed in 1995, consisted
of building the frontage roads and installing the drainage system from South Padre Island Drive (SH
358) to Saratoga Boulevard at a cost of $8.6 million. In May 200 I TXDOT let the contract for the
construction of the interchange and Rosiek Construction was awarded the bid for approximately $55
million. He said this project will allow for improved traffic flow to the south side and will involve
six phases over four years, which he briefly explained.
Mr. Casteel said this project has received extensive public input and, as a result, three major
changes have been made: the existing exit from SPID eastbound to Ayers Street in front of
Tinseltown Theaters will remain open; the existing entrance and exit ramps on the Crosstown
southbound lanes between Gollihar and Horne streets will remain in place; and a Greenwood exit
ramp will be added off of the connector from Crosstown southbound to SPID westbound. Mr.
Casteel and Mr. Escobar then responded to Council questions on the interchange project.
Mr. Casteel also discussed the raising of the JFK Causeway (Park Road 22), which is
scheduled to be let in November 2001 at a cost of about $45 million. He said that project will raise
the roadway to at least 9 feet above sea level and improve the Humble Channel crossing. Other
projects Mr. Casteel reviewed were McArdle Road, Spur 3 (Ennis Joslin Road), Airline Road, and
Leopard Street. He said the lO-county district has about $200 million under contract at this time.
*************
Mayor Neal referred to Item 26, and a motion was made, seconded, and passed to open the
public hearing to consider Zoning Ordinance text amendments. Mr. Michael Gunning, Director of
Planning and Development, said the proposed amendments are divided into four areas: definitions;
amendments to the recently created "B-1 A" Neighborhood Business District; amendments to certain
parking regulations regarding the uses identified in the ordinance; and an amendment to Article 29
regulating the Board of Adjustment regarding the bed and breakfast (B&B) facility uses.
..~-~
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
August 21,2001
Page 12
Mr. Gunning further explained the amendments, saying that definitions will be added for
animal hospitals, assisted living facilities, bed and breakfasts, private garages, commercial vehicles,
kennels, and mini-storage facilities. He said the changes to the "B-1A" District being proposed are
to eliminate the restaurant use (and all associated performance standards) and to include B&Bs and
assisted living uses. In addition, staff is recommending modifying the screening fence requirements.
With regard to the parking regulations, Mr. Gunning said the proposal is to modify the title
itself to "off-street parking," address parking requirements for assisted living facilities and B&Bs,
and establish regulations for access drives. The proposed text amendments for the Board of
Adjustment deal primarily with B&B uses. He said staff is recommending establishing performance
standards to address the following: location of trash receptacles, parking allowances and restrictions,
outside activities, separation between B&Bs, hoteVmotel tax and the number of rooms. He said there
will be two classifications ofB&Bs--"bed and breakfast home" and "bed and breakfast inn." Mr.
Gunning said two public hearings were held before the Planning Commission on June 6th and July
18th on the proposed Zoning Ordinance text amendments.
Mr. Jay Reining, First Assistant City Attorney, said the kennel ordinance was the result of
a settlement about two years ago in the case of Tony Bender v. City of Corpus Christi, in which the
City Manager agreed to present proposed amendments to the Zoning Ordinance and the animal
control ordinances for the Council to consider. He noted that the settlement does not require the
Council to adopt the amendments. He said the amendments provide that kennels can be kept in
industrial districts ("1-2" or "1-3") with a 100-foot separation from any adjoining residential districts
with the exception of "F-R" Farm Rural District. In addition, the amendments address the number
of animals kept, building code issues on the first application, and location of kennels in relation to
food services facilities.
Responding to Council Member Colmenero, Mr. Gunning referred to the amendment
regarding private garages, which calls for a change in the wording from a maximum two-ton vehicle
to a maximum one-ton vehicle. To give an example, he said an F350 truck is a three-quarter ton
vehicle. Mr. Colmenero asked several questions about the proposed regulations for bed and breakfast
uses, to which Mr. Gunning responded. He said the location restrictions are meant to prevent the
proliferation ofB&Bs within the same block and neighborhood. He noted that the concept ofB&Bs
is to promote the same residential character as the adjoining homes and most people do not know
they are present unless they are pointed out. Mr. Gunning said he was aware of only two B&B uses
in single-family zoned areas in the city at this time--one on Ocean Drive and another on Atlantic.
Council Member Kinnison asked about the kennel amendments. Mr. Reining said they would
permit Mr. Bender to operate his kennels. Mr. Kinnison also asked about existing B&B uses. Mr.
Gunning said there may be additional B&Bs in single- family areas but it is difficult to determine that
since they were not required to obtain a certificate of occupancy when they opened but they will be
required to do so under the new ordinance. He said if a B&B owner is using four bedrooms or less,
it will be considered a "grandfathered" use. However, if the owner wants to increase the number of
bedrooms allowed to five, he would have to go through the public hearing process with the Zoning
Board of Adjustment (ZBA) for a B&B home. He explained why staff is recommending going
,

Minutes - Regular Council Meeting

through the ZBA as opposed to the Planning Commission. He said staff is trying to balance the needs
of the B&B operators with the needs of the neighbors. He added that some B&Bs are already located
in other zoning areas.
Council Member Kelly asked if there are any zoning regulations which impact on a B&B
owner's right to serve liquor. Mr. Gunning replied that there are none, with the exception of alcohol
sales, which is regulated by the state of Texas. He noted that this ordinance does not have a retail
component for the sale of anything. Responding to a question from Mr. Kelly about the ZBA's
determinations, Mr. Gunning said he did not see a problem with the ZBA considering uses such as
special occasion events for a B&B where there is consent between the owner and the neighbors and
performance standards are established. Mayor Neal asked about the composition of the ZBA, and
Mr. Gunning said it is a seven-member board (two are alternates) appointed by the Council who hear
appeals from the Zoning Ordinance.
Council Member Noyola said he thought B&Bs were traditionally quiet places to stay and
he questioned parties being held at them. Mr. Gunning replied that there is probably no reason why
someone could not hold a reception at a B&B facility provided it is not something that is rented out
or commercialized. He commented on events held at Ocean House, which has hosted large parties
(such as a wedding reception) which involved valet parking. Mayor Neal called for public comment.
Mr. S.M. Cowling, 138 Southern, asked how neighbors who live outside the 200-foot
notification area will become informed about hearings for proposed special use permits. Mr.
Gunning said if someone wants to open a bed and breakfast home in a residential neighborhood, he
will have to make an application with the ZBA. City staff will send out notices to those within 200
feet advising them of the hearing; in addition, an agenda of the hearing will be posted and there will
be a notice in the newspaper. Mr. Cowling asked if the process can be changed so that a petition for
a B&B would come before the City Council. Mr. Gunning said that would be an option.
Mrs. Dorothy Spann, 502 Del Mar, said these proposals would override the deed restrictions
in the Del Mar neighborhood. City Attorney Bray said that deed restrictions are covenants between
property owners, who can enforce them against one another but the city cannot enforce them. In
addition, the city cannot overrule deed restrictions with an ordinance. Mrs. Spann said the Del Mar
Neighborhood Association is trying to achieve a historical designation and she expressed concern
about the existence of the bed and breakfast on Atlantic Street. She urged the Council to withdraw
the B&B amendments.
Ms. Donna Mickley, 141 Atlantic, said she owns a bed and breakfast at that location. She
said she has extended invitations to her neighbors to visit her facility, which has four guest rooms.
She said her B&B is very quiet and she spent a lot of time preparing to open her business in
conformance with the regulations. She said according to the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission,
she cannot serve alcohol of any kind, even if she gives it to her guests, because they are paying to
stay there and in turn would be paying for the alcohol. However, she said the T ABC says guests over
21 can bring in their own alcohol.

Mr. Garrett made a motion to close the public hearing, seconded by Mr. Colmenero and
passed. Mayor Neal said there is a difference between a traditional bed and breakfast in which a
person spends the night, has breakfast the next morning, and then leaves, and a B&B which hosts
parties, such as the B&B on Ocean Drive. Mr. Colmenero said many clarifications need to be made.
Council Member Chesney said he thinks some consideration should be given to
"grandfathering" existing B&B uses while potentially establishing further restrictions to address the
neighbors' concerns. He also said he believes the Council--rather than the ZBA--should be making
the final decisions on such issues.
Responding to Mayor Neal, Mr. Bray explained that the four-boarder rule that currently exists
is not being proposed to be changed. He gave examples of situations that would violate the current
ordinance: if four couples (as opposed to four individual boarders) stay in a B&B home that has four
bedrooms, and if someone in a residential neighborhood is holding parties and receptions for
remuneration of any kind. He further explained that the remuneration that the B&B owner is allowed
to receive under the ordinance is only for the bed and breakfast function from the individual lodgers.
Mr. Kinnison said he felt the bed and breakfast regulations needed to be discussed in more
detail but he did not want to hold up the other Zoning Ordinance text amendments. Mayor Neal said
the Council can pass the ordinances on first reading and those that do not deal with B&B uses (Items
26.c.-e.) can come back for second reading and staff can continue to work on the B&B proposals.
City Secretary Chapa said the items the Council was considering on first reading were those
presented in the agenda book and not the substitute ordinance. He then polled the Council for their
votes as follows:
26.b. FIRST READING ORDINANCE

*************
Mayor Neal referred to Item 27, and a motion was made, seconded, and passed to open the
public hearing to determine the feasibility of selling certain park lands. Mr. Tony Cisneros, Director
of Park and Recreation, explained that on November 7, 2000 the voters approved a referendum
giving the city permission to divest itself of particular pieces of unusable park land. He said eight
properties are included in this resolution: Arcadia Village Park, 1.441 acres; Meldo Park, .964 acres;
Tuloso Park, 1.217 acres; Martin Luther King Dr., .216 acres; Southbay Park, .23 acres; Highland
Avenue Park, .005 acres; Parkview Park, .118 acres; and Ayers Street Park,.7 acres.
Council Member Noyola asked ifthere were any potential buyers. Mr. Cisneros replied that
there has been quite a bit of interest and the next step is to advertise the parcels that will be for sale.
Any proceeds will go back into the Unrestricted Park Trust Account for future use for either park
improvements or the acquisition of park land.

There were no comments from the audience. Mr. Kelly made a motion to close the public
hearing, seconded by Mr. Colmenero and passed. City Secretary Chapa noted that staff had
submitted a substitute resolution that changes the caption. Mr. Garrett made a motion to amend Item
27.b. to substitute a revised resolution, seconded by Mr. Colmenero and passed. Mr. Chapa polled
the Council for their votes as follows:
27.b. RESOLUTION NO. 024548
Resolution finding, upon public hearing, that certain parcels of real property owned by the
city and designated as park lands have no feasible and prudent use as park lands and that all
reasonable planning efforts have been made to minimize harm to the city's remaining park
lands as a result of the sale or disposal of the specified parcels.
The foregoing resolution passed, as amended, by the following vote: Neal, Chesney,
Colmenero, Garrett, Kelly, and Noyola voting "Aye"; Longoria, Kinnison, and Scott absent.
*************
Mayor Neal referred to Item 28, and a motion was made, seconded and passed to open the
public hearing on the following zoning case:
28. Case No. 0701-03. Alfonso G. Benavides: A change of zoning from "R-IB" One-family
Dwelling District to a "B-1" Neighborhood Business District on Rolling Acres No.1, being
the northwesterly 107 feet of Tract 16, located on the south side of Leopard Street,
approximately 220 feet east of Roundtree Circle.
City Secretary Chapa said the Planning Commission recommended approval of the "B-1 "
Neighborhood Business District and staff recommended denial of the "B-1" Neighborhood Business
District. He said there is an ordinance before the Council which grants the rezoning request.
Mr. Gunning said the applicant wishes to open and operate a cake specialty store within their
existing residence, which is located in an area predominantly zoned for single-family development.
He said the Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the "B-1" with one commissioner
opposed. Staff is of the opinion that granting the "B-1" zoning or a special permit in this area would
basically set up the adjoining properties to be eventually rezoned to commercial uses. Mr. Gunning
referred to a site map and photographs showing the property's location on the 9000 block of Leopard
Street as well as the adjoining properties.
Council Member Chesney asked why the Planning Commission recommended approval. Mr.
Gunning replied that they felt the "B-1" District is designed to be compatible with adjoining
residential areas and they felt the applicant presented a good case. He said the Northwest Area
Development Plan contemplates that the area across Leopard Street to the north would be
commercialized while the subject area would remain low-density residential.

Considering the configuration of the lots and the location of the drainage ditch, Council
Member Kelly questioned whether there would be a serious danger of business use jumping over to
the northern-most lot on Princess Drive across from the existing "B-4" District. He also asked about
the prospect of residential development on the lot immediately east of the subject property. Mr.
Gunning replied that as long as the area retains its residential character, the prospects of continued
residential development are good. However, he said his experience is that when an area is opened
up to commercial development, other development follows.
Mr. Kelly asked what would be some of the more offensive "B-1" uses that could end up on
the subject property if the proposed bakery is not successful. Mr. Gunning said there could be
restaurants (including drive-through fast-food restaurants) and 24-hour convenience stores. Mayor
Neal called for public comment.
Mr. Alfonso G. Benavides, the applicant, explained how he came to purchase the property
for his family and their plans for the bakery. He said while his application to rezone to "B-1" was
approved by the Planning Commission, the Planning Department staff has recommended denial,
citing several concerns. He said he spoke with his neighbors within 200 feet and they were not
opposed to the bakery use. He said the opposing property owner is located across Leopard Street.
Mr. Benavides also said that his property fronts on Leopard Street and has no direct access
to a residential street. He also referred to photographs of his property and the adjacent homes. He
presented the Council with a list of322 people he and his wife spoke to in the area who support their
plans for their business. He also discussed traffic counts and continuing commercial development
on Leopard Street.
Mayor Neal asked Mr. Benavides when he purchased the property, and he said it was on May
25, 2001. He discussed deed restrictions that are on the property.
Responding to Mr. Kelly, Mr. Benavides said the owner of the lot immediately to the west
was the seller and he is not opposed to the bakery. Mr. Kelly referred to Mr. Benavides' list of
signatures and specifically asked about some of the property owners.
Mr. Garrett made a motion to close the public hearing, seconded by Mr. Kinnison and passed.
Mr. Kelly said he has driven around the subject property and he said it appears that there is
a significant amount of commercial development around it. He said it seems unrealistic to expect that
there will be any future residential development on Leopard Street. He said the existence of a large
drainage ditch behind the subject property should protect the residences on Princess Drive from any
commercial encroachment and he cited the support expressed by most of the neighbors.
Mr. Kelly asked about the possibility of a special permit for the bakery rather than rezoning
to "B-1." Mr. Gunning said if the base zoning remains "R-IB," the owner would not be allowed to
have additional signage; however, they could request "AB" which would allow a 20-square foot wall
sign that could be converted to a free-standing sign through a conditional sign permit. He said even
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
August 21, 200 I
Page 18
with "AB" zoning, a special permit would be necessary for the operation of the bakery since it is not
allowed as a matter of right. Uses that are allowed in "AB" include hair salons, professional offices
and multi-family uses but not convenience stores or restaurants. Mr. Gunning said if the Council
wishes, he can have the Planning staff meet with Mr. Benavides to develop a special permit that the
Council can consider in about two weeks.
Responding to other questions from Mayor Neal, Mr. Benavides said his property is owner-
financed for 10 years and during that time he cannot sell or lease it. The Mayor questioned what
would happen if the Council rezoned the property to business and the bakery was not successful. He
said Mr. Benavides would be stuck with a commercial property that he could not sell for 10 years.
Mr. Gunning said a special permit would expire in one year but an outright rezoning runs with the
land in perpetuity.
Mr. Chesney said that initially he was uncomfortable with granting the rezoning request but
upon hearing the case he has changed his mind and will defer to Mr. Kelly since it is in his district
and he has taken the time to consider all the ramifications. Mr. Colmenero said he does not believe
that Leopard Street will ever go back to being a residential area. Mr. Kelly said he is more inclined
to rezone to "AB" with a special permit for the bakery use than straight "B-1" zoning. Mr. Noyola
said he concurs with a special permit.
Mr. Kelly made a motion to table this zoning case for two weeks, seconded by Mr.
Colmenero and passed. Mr. Garcia pointed out that the Council's next meeting is not until
September 11,2001. Mr. Garrett asked Mr. Benavides ifhe understood the Council's direction to
staff regarding his property. Mr. Benavides said he was concerned about the limitations of the "AB"
zoning as opposed to the "B-1" zoning because he is not sure exactly what it entails.
Mr. Kelly made a motion to amend his original motion to table this zoning case to September
11,2001 to give staff and the applicant the opportunity to develop "AB" zoning with a special permit
for a bakery, seconded by Mr. Kinnison and passed (Longoria and Scott absent).

Mr. Jack Gordy, 310 Norton St., discussed the Public Information Act, which went into effect
on September I, 1996. He said for the last five years the Police Department has been violating the
law. He said they have subsequently received the necessary information and they still do not have
it posted. He said the County Attorney sent a letter to the City Manager telling him the law needs to
be enforced.
Mr. Joe Cole, 4613 Kirkwood, said he is a small general contractor. He said the state does
not require him to have workers compensation insurance but the new regulations for the city's
landfiIl do require it, which will cost him about $28,000 to $30,000 a year. He said other smaIl
companies will not be able to afford such insurance.
Referring to Mr. Cole's comments, Mr. Ron Massey, Assistant City Manager for Public
Works and Utilities, said that if the state does not require a contractor to carry workers
compensation, then the city will not either as long as that information is verified through the permit
process. Council Member Noyola said the new ordinance is affecting many smaIl businesses.
Mayor Neal explained that there is no mandatory workers compensation statute in Texas. He
said if an employer elects not to be a subscriber, he is supposed to file a non-subscriber statement
'--^....

with the state. Mr. Massey said the city's intention is just to enforce what the state law requires and
if an employer opts out, the city will not withhold the permit. The Mayor said the Council needs to
have additional discussion about the pollution liability requirements in the solid waste ordinance.
With regard to Mr. Gordy's comments, Mr. Garcia said staff provided the Council with a
memo detailing their discussions with representatives of the General Services Commission (GSC)
in Austin over the last week. He said the GSC gave the city a written ruling that it should charge 10
cents per page to a victim or victim's agent who requests a copy of an offense or incident report, and
$2 to any other person requesting such reports. He said the city was undercharging for copies of
accident reports and those copies will be $6 each effective September I, 200 I. He said these changes
will result in a net revenue loss of about $10,000 which will be absorbed in the budget.
Deputy City Manager Noe pointed out that incident reports about crimes against persons
(muggings, rapes, etc.) are given to the victims at no charge, but incident reports about other crimes
(burglaries of homes or cars) are provided to the victims for 10 cents per page or $2 for non-victims.
Responding to Mr. Chesney, Mr. Noe said most cities treated accident reports and incident reports
similarly and charged basically the same fee for both. He said a citizen filed a complaint with the
GSC and staff discussed it with them and subsequently received a ruling about it yesterday.
Mr. Garrett asked if the city is now in compliance with the GSC's regulations, and Mr. Noe
said it is. Mr. Garrett added that there is a lot of labor involved in providing reports because of
confidentiality issues.
*************
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 30, tethering of animals. There were no comments
from the audience.
Responding to Council Member Garrett, Dr. Nina Sisley, Director of Public Health, said if
a person has a fenced yard, he is not required to tether his animal. She said this proposed ordinance
is different from staff s original proposal in that any method of tethering can be used so long as the
dog does not become entangled and is able to reach food and water. She said the ordinance will give
Animal Control permission to pick up a dog that becomes entangled.
In response to Council Member Kelly, Mr. Jeff Beynon, Director of Animal Control, said the
animal will have to be tangled up on an apparatus for them to impound the animal. Council Member
Chesney said that based on Mr. Beynon's remarks, the point of the ordinance is not whether there
is a possibility of an animal becoming entangled but rather to address the situation when an animal
does in fact become entangled. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:
30.a. M2001-317
Motion to amend prior to second reading the ordinance regarding tethering of animals by
substituting a revised ordinance.

Mayor Neal said one more citizen wished to address the Council under public comment.
Mr. Richard Francis Flynn said he was representing Pro-Life America and he wished to
transfer the abortion issue out of the realm of morality and religion and into the realm of law.
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 31, Municipal Court collection fee. There were no
comments from the audience. Responding to Council Member Kinnison, Ms. Barbara Sudhoff,
Director of Municipal Court, said a defendant who is referred to the collection service has already
had all his options before the court. She said if he is deemed indigent, he can comply with
community service. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:
31.a. FIRST READING ORDINANCE
Ordinance amending the Code of Ordinances, Chapter 29, Municipal Courts, by creating
Section 29-51, Municipal Court collection fee, to create new collection fee for defendants
with delinquent Municipal Court Payment Orders in an amount of 30% of each delinquent

Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 32 regarding the arena project. City Secretary Chapa
said Council Member Kelly had filed a disclosure affidavit and would be abstaining from discussing
or voting on this matter.
Mr. Jorge Cruz-Aedo, Director of Financial Services, said earlier that day the Corpus Christi
Business and Job Development Corporation approved the execution of sales tax remittance and
project agreements for the arena project. He said it entails a $5 million note over a two-year period
with the interest rate on the UBOR (London Interbank Offering Rate) plus 300 points.
Mr. Jeff Leuschel, of McCall Parkhurst & Horton, said the notes will be sold to the Chase
Manhattan Bank. He said according to the statute creating the corporation, the City Council must
approve the corporation's actions before the notes can be issued. He said the purpose of this
transaction is to allow the land to be acquired for the arena project. He said the sales tax remittance
agreement states that the city agrees to contribute the one-eighth cent sales tax to the corporation for
the arena project consistent with the proposition approved by the voters last November. In the project
agreement, the corporation agrees to acquire the land and transfer title to the city. Ms. Tina Peterman
with 1.P. Morgan then explained the terms and structure of the transaction.
Mayor Neal referred to page 313 in the agenda book regarding the form of the note and he
pointed out that the city cannot co-mingle this transaction with any other funds nor is it being backed
by ad valorem taxes. Mr. Leuschel said the sales tax remittance agreement specifically escrows the
one-eighth of one percent sales tax and therefore it cannot be co-mingled.
Responding to Council Member Chesney, Mr. Cruz-Aedo said this is for the land purchase
and costs associated with that purchase. He said this complies with the ballot measure approved by
the voters. Mayor Neal said the Arena Project Sales and Use Tax Fund is being created.
Council Member Kinnison asked bond counsel to explain why this is a taxable note. Mr.
Leuschel said the reason is that since contracts have not been negotiated with potential users of the
arena, it is impossible at this point to give clear legal advice on whether these obligations could
qualify as tax-exempt obligations. He said when the permanent financing takes place, they anticipate
that a substantial portion of that transaction will be tax-exempt. There were no comments from the
audience. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:
32. RESOLUTION NO. 024551
Resolution approving the Resolution authorizing the issuance of notes by the Corpus Christi
Business and Job Development Corporation and the execution of a sales tax remittance
agreement and a project agreement with respect to the arena project.

Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 35. He said he is the Chairman of the South Texas
Military Facilities Task Force, which is informing officials in Corpus Christi, Nueces and San
Patricio counties, the Port of Corpus Christi, and the Kingsville Economic Development Corporation
about the possibility of another round of base closures in 2003. He referred to a proposed budget
approved by the task force members which calls for spending about $400,000 over a 24-month
period to address the base closure issue.
He said the Council has been invited to travel to Washington, D.C., on October 1-3 with task
force members, where they intend to meet with several key Navy, Army and administration
representatives. He said the task force's proposed budget is divided among the entities based on
population, which he explained. He noted that there were previous base closure rounds in 1993 and

1995. The Mayor said the Corpus Christi Economic Development Corporation, Chamber of
Commerce, Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and Black Chamber of Commerce have all agreed to
support the task force's efforts, such as through staff assistance and coordination.
Council Member Kinnison said the Council was also supportive of the task force. Mayor
Neal said he thought it would be helpful for the Council to send a resolution of support to Rep.
Solomon Ortiz, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, and Sen. Phil Gramm as well as a motion regarding
funding opportunities.
Council Member Chesney made a motion directing staff to prepare and bring back to the City
Council for their consideration a resolution expressing support for the region's military facilities and
funding for the South Texas Military Facilities Task Force in the amount of$50,000 per year for the
next two years. The motion was seconded by Mr. Kinnison. There were no comments from the
audience. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council and the motion passed unanimously (Neal
abstaining; Longoria and Scott absent).

Mayor Neal thanked the city employees for their kindness during his wife's surgery and
recovery. He then called for Council concerns and reports.
Mr. Colmenero thanked staff for working with the Corpus Christi Model Railroad Club, and
he asked about the status of the Sesquicentennial Committee. City Secretary Chapa said his office
was waiting for two more Council appointments from Mr. Longoria and Mr. Scott. Once they are
named, the committee can begin meeting. Mr. Colmenero said that a successful Stop Trashing
Corpus Christi event was held last Saturday which involved many young people in District 2 and
other areas of the city.
Mr. Garrett expressed his condolences to the family and friends of Police Sgt. R.V. Cisneros,
who was very active in the Police Officers Association. Mr. Kinnison said that he attended the bond
rating trip to New York recently and during the meetings it became apparent that the agency
representatives are very aware of issues in Corpus Christi. He said the city's financial position has
greatly improved over the last few years.
Mr. Chesney thanked Mr. Cisneros and the Park and Recreation staff for their ongoing
assistance with the "friends of the Park" plan which will come back to the Council. Mr. Garrett said
he went to the landfill twice last weekend and commented positively about the employees'
assistance. Mr. Noyola thanked Council Members Kelly, Garrett and Chesney for their participation
in the town hall meeting at the Northwest Senior Center on August 13,2001, which was attended
by 143 people. Mr. Noyola also reported a low-hanging line at Columbia and SPID. Mr. Chesney
said Mr. Garrett has taken the lead in organizing the town hall meetings and more will be held in
each district throughout the city.
Mr. Kelly thanked staff for installing the warning signs at the spillway dam. He also
commented on the town hall meeting last week and asked if the matter involving the Regional
Transportation Authority had been resolved. Mr. Garcia replied that he will find out and let him
know. Mr. Kelly thanked stafffor their assistance during that meeting and he said there was much
concern about the placement ofthe third golf course. He said northwest residents generally feel that
area is under-served.

of the adjacent property owner, except where special contracts note otherwise.
However, not all property owners accept this responsibility. Over time, the City
has assumed additional responsibilities for mowing of various areas along
improved ROW. Maintenance of these highly visible areas, along with increased
public demand for an aesthetically pleasing and clean community, have resulted in
changing priorities which have led over time to the diversion of a significant
portion of work effort away from city park and recreational facilities.
Unlike the 'fine-cut' mowing done by Park and Recreation's crews, the Storm
Water Department's mowing is 'rough cut' with a limited amount of trim work.
The Storm Water Department currently does not have the proper equipment or
manpower required to adequately perform this new responsibility. In lieu of
purchasing additional equipment and adding manpower to the staff, and as part of
the continuing effort to re-engineer, staffhas developed specifications and received
bids to contract out the maintenance of improved ROW areas.
The proposed mowing contract for groups 1 through 6 is for approximately 95
acres of improved ROW, located throughout the City. For bidding purposes, the
area was divided into six groups. The contract requires groups one through five to
be mowed 21 times during the year, once every 15 days (2 weeks) during seven
peak season months (March - September) and once every 21 days (3 weeks) during
the remaining months of October through February. The sixth Group- Ocean
Drive, from Craig to Alameda.. requires 52 cycles of mowing or approximately
mowing once every week. The contract specifications include mowing, trimming,

edging, litter pick-up, clearing of sidewalks and, for the first time, a new service
of herbicide application to curb and gutter expansion joints and along street asphalt
and gutter seams which parallel the ROW areas being mowed.
Additionally, approximately 66 acres of parks located on the island and 11 acres
of parkland located on the T -heads are included in this contract. The parks on
the island will be mowed 12 times during the year, once every month. The T-
heads will be mowed 26 times during the year, once every 15 days
(approximately every 2 weeks). As above, the contract will include mowing,
trimming, edging, litter pick-up and herbicide application.
The T -heads and the parks located on the island are included in this contract to
allow the Parks & Recreation Department to concentrate their efforts on the
remaining parks throughout the City.
The City has bid this contract out on two separate occasions over the past year
and a half. Historically, the City has issued bids for mowing contracts to local
bidders. Under the first bid, the contract was awarded by Council in March of
2000. However, the contract was never initiated due to the vendor's inability to
provide a performance bond as required in the specifications. Specifications
were revised to require a $1000 cash bond in lieu of a performance bond. Under
the second bid, two bids were received. The apparent low bidder requested to
withdraw their offer due to an error in the pricing of his bid. Due to the
remaining bidder submitting limited pricing on only a portion of the contract,
staff decided to rebid the contract and issue bids to non-local bidders. The City
has received the $1000 cash bond from each of the recommended vendors and is
requesting the award as submitted.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
BACKGROUND:
Prior Council Action: Since 1975, the City Council has annually approved street closure
applications by Bayfest. Inc. to conduct its festivities upon public streets in the bayfront area. Last
year (February 16, 2000), the Council approved a new five year lease agreement (Exhibit 3)
Bayfest, I nc. imposing terms and covenants not included in the provisions for public event street
closing permits (Sections 49-15 through 49-18).
Backaround Information: Ms. Sharon Emerson and Ms. Jane Dykes, Co-Chairpersons of Bayfest,
Inc., have requested temporary street closures for the 26th annual Bayfest event. Bayfest 2001
festivities will occur on September 21 - 23,2001. Bayfest, Inc. has agreed to comply with the
applicable city code requirements for this type event and has received approval from 100% of all
property owners abutting the street sections requested for temporary closure.
Lease Aareement and Reimbursements to C.llY.;. The Bayfest 2000 Festival is covered under a
five year lease agreement between the City and Bayfest, Inc. Under the terms of this agreement,
Bayfest, Inc. is permitted use of sidewalks, medians and the seawall along Shoreline Boulevard,
as well as the Bayfront Arts and Science Park and the Barge Dock. Also, under the Use
Agreement, Bayfest, Inc., is allowed to charge an admission fee. This year's fees are: $5.00 for
all persons above the age of twelve (12) years, $1.00 for children under 12 years, and $3.00 for
senior citizens.
The current agreement provides that Bayfest pay a one-time $250 permit fee and 100% of the cost
of City services for event support, except that in vear 2000 onlv, Bavfest will pav 75% of all Police
Department overtime costs. The City of Corpus Christi was reimbursed $39,928 for actual support
provided during Bayfest, 2000. The terms of Bayfest's reimbursements to the City for Police
Department overtime costs for the 2001 festival is scheduled to be revisited by the City Council.
Street Closinas and Detours: Street closings for the Bayfest event are necessary to allow the set-
up of booths, stages, and other facilities located within the median area and street sections. The
total number of days of street closure for the Bayfest 2001 festival complies with the allotted 4
days of exclusive use and 21 days of non-exclusive use of the specified premises under the current
agreement. Special detour signage will be provided to guide motorists to businesses fronting the
closing section of Shoreline Boulevard and to the tourist-related facilities in the Bayfront Arts &
Science Park. Traffic signal operations at the intersections of IH 37 with Mesquite, Chaparral,
Water and Shoreline Boulevard are adjusted to accommodate the normal traffic patterns
associated with Bayfest events.
Effect on Bavfront Arts & Science Park Functions: Staff has discussed the proposed street
closings with management of the Convention Center. There are no large events scheduled at the
Convention Center during the same time period of the Bayfest festival street closing. The usual
special sign age will be provided to direct motorists to other Bayfront Arts & Science Park attractions
via Chaparral Street.

reached at the meeting was to allow the Bayfest organization to use the same area of festivities
as in last year's event with the exception that access to the United States Federal Courthouse for
the general public conducting business at the Courthouse not be interrupted or obstructed during
normal business hours. The two U.S. federal judges are also in agreement with the requested

piping headers, new insecUbird screens, cleaning and other work as specified.
BID INFORMATION: This project consists solely of a base bid. The City received
proposals from two (2) bidders on August 15, 2001. (See Exhibit C.) The bid range is as
follows:
Base Bid = $43,900 - $47,000
The Engineer's construction estimate is $35,000. The City's AlE Consultant, Turner
Engineers, Inc., and City Staff recommend that based on past satisfactory service a

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Wetlands Interpretive Overlooks on Corpus Christi Beach is a collaborative program
between the City of Corpus Christi and the Texas State Aquarium (TSA) that will provide
environmental educational opportunities to tourists, students, community members and
guests of the TSA, The project includes construction of boardwalks and informational
kiosks and two wildlife overlooks, one on 36 acres west of Highway 181 and east of the
Rincon Barge Canal and the other on Corpus Christi Beach Park on Timon Boulevard, The
newly acquired property and improvements will enhance the TSA's educational outreach
programs and will be made available to Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi science
classes and the general public. Visitors will have the opportunity to view the rich natural
habitat and wildlife in Corpus Christi and learn the importance of preserving our bays,
estuaries and wetlands.
This project is the result of three funding sources (already received) including $85,000 from
a Supplemental Environmental Program mandated by EPA, $85,000 from the Coastal
Bend Bays and Estuaries Program, and $85,000 from the Texas General Land Office -
Coastal Coordination Council (CCC). (These three funding sources were used to match
each other respectively as local match for each other.) As per the work plan with the
Coastal Coordination Council, the City of Corpus Christi must enter into an agreement with
the Texas State Aquarium that clarifies the responsibilities of each partnering organization,
The agreement states that the TSA will maintain 36 acres west of Highway 181 and east
of the Rincon Canal and a portion of Corpus Christi Beach Park and maintain the
improvements to these two properties including the overlooks, boardwalks and kiosk. The
agreement also states that the TSA will use the property for educational outreach, and the
City of Corpus Christi will retain ownership of the property and the facilities,

PREFACE:
This Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is prepared in compliance with the Statewide Planning,
Metropolitan Planning Rules jomtly issued by the Federal Highway Administration (FHW A) (23 CFR
Part 450) and the Federal Transit Admmistration (ITA) (49 CFR Part 613). This document lists the
transportation improvements planned to be carried out m the next three federal fiscal years. This TIP
covers three-year period from October 2002 through September 2004, The rules require the MPO, an
attainment area, to include all transportation projects which are:
1. Proposed for funding under title 23, U.S.C. (including Federal Lands Highway projects)
and the Federal Transit Act, excluding safety projects funded under 23 U.S.C. 402,
emergency relief projects (except those involving substantial functional, locational and
capacity changes), and planning and research activities (except those funded with NHS,
STP, and/or MA funds),
2. The projects that are consistent with the transportation plan. and
3, All regionally significant transportation projects for which FHW A or ITA approval is
required whether or nO! the projects are to be funded with ntle 23, U.S.C., or Federal
Transit Act funds. The examples of such projects are an addition of an interchange to
the Interstate System with state. local, and/or private funds, demonstration projects not
funded under title 23, U.S.C., or the Federal Transit Act, etc.
The MPOs in non-attainment areas are required to show, for information purposes, all regionally
significant projects to be funded with non-federal funds and air quality analysis. The Corpus Christi
Metropolitan Planning Organization does not have to comply with this requirement. However, to have
comprehensive and multimodal coverage, transportation projects related to the Corpus Christi
International Airport and The Port of Corpus Christi are included in the document, for information
purposes.
Not included in this documents are the Priority II Projects. These projects have tremendous public
support but are not ready to be let, therefore, they cannot be included in the TIP. These are the projects
on which some work is being done: preliminary engineering, land acquisition. utilities adjustments, or
Environmental Impact Statements (EIS). These projects will be advancing to the TIP in a few years,
depending upon the progress on the pre-requisites to be let.
The document is organized into ten sections which are listed below.

INTRODUCTION:
The formal transportation planning activities in the Corpus Cluisti Metropolitan Area began in 1961. In
that year, the Texas Highway Depamnent, Planning Survey Division, the U.S. Department ofCommen:e.
Bureau of Public Roads, in cooperanon with the City of Corpus Cluisti initiated a transportation study.
This study shows the procedures and the results of the Origin and Destination Survey, the Central
Cordon Line Survey, and the Traffic Volume Survey, The study also shows travel characteristics such as
trip purpose, trip production, modes of travel, land use influence, and time patterns. This study also
includes the travel desired lines for all modes of vehicular and person movements in the Corpus Christi
area.
In 1962, pursuant to the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1962, the City of Corpus Cluisti and the Texas
Highway Department, in cooperal1on wllh the United States Department of Commerce, Bureau of Public
Roads, initiated a long-range comprehenSIve transportation plan. This effort resulted in the form of the
Corpus Christi Transportation Plan 1963- I 964. The main objective of this study was to frod an adequate,
long term solution for future traffic in relation to comprehensive urban development. The plan included
a complete network of streets and highways, which when completed, should provide smooth movement
of traffic. The City revised this plan in 1974, 1976, 1979, 1983-84, and 1987, In addition, the City
carried out several transportation studies to analyze special needs. Major studies included the Nucces
Bay Causeway Study - 1981, and the Extension of the Crosstown Expressway in 1982. In 1989, the City
studied the possibility of high speed water transportation in Nueces Bay connecting Corpus Christi and
Portland. This proposal, being costly, was not implemented. However, RTA provides a ferry boat link
between Corpus Cluisti, Shoreline Boulevard to USS Lexington and the Texas State Aquariwn. Few
studies have suggested, at least, another Laguna Madre crossing linking the National Seashores to the
Texas State Aquariwn. The basIC objective of such a crossing is to evacuate the people living east of the
Laguna Madre at the time of an emergency.
In 2000, in compliance with the Transportal1on Equity Act for 2 I" Century (TEA-21), the MPO prepared
the FY 2000-2025 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). The plan addressed all transportation
modes and arrived at the prOject listing for transportation implementation for the twenty-year period.
This MTP is the basis for project selection for TIPs.
PURPOSE:
The Transportation EqUIty Act for the 21" Century (TEA-21) requires that the metropolitan
transportation planning process mcludes development of a Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).
The TIP is a short range tr:lnsportal1on capital improvement plan. This document provides the guide
used by federal, state, and local governments to implement transportation projects within the
metropolitan planning area. It also idenl1fies how the MPO wtll use federal, state. and local financial
resources to implement these projects. To be eligible for any level of federal funding, a project must be
in the Metropolitan Transportation Plan and the TIP, TEA-2 I funding for the next three-year period of
the TIP is available under l1tle 23. U.S.c., and the Federal Transll Act, excluding safety projects funded
under 23 U,S.c. 402. The TIP also mcludes all regionally significant transportation projects for which
the FHW A or the ITA approval is reqUired, whether or not the projects are to be funded with title 23,
U.S,c., or the Federal Transit Act funds.
DEFINITION OF AREA:
In 1973, the State Governor designated the Corpus Christi as the Metropolitan Planning Organization to
perform transportation for the metropolitan area. The Corpus Christl Transportation Study was
originally comprising five signatones: the City of Corpus Christl, the City of Ponland, the County of
Nueces, the County of San Patricio and the Texas Department of Transportation, To be fully multi-
modal, the MPO included the Regional Transportation Authority and the Port of Corpus Christi
Authority in the transportation planning process. The area map shows the physical boundary of the
Corpus Christi MPO area.
PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PROCESS:
Environmental Justice focuses on measures to prevent or correct disparities in benefits and cost.
President Clinton, on February II, 1994 signed the Executive Order12898, "Federal Actions to Address
Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations." Complying with the E.O.
12898, the Department of Transportation (DOT) on April 15, 1997 issued Order 5680.2 to address
environmental justice in all programs. policies, and activities. The DOT Order specifically addresses
environmental justice for minorities (defmed as Black, Hispanic. Asian American, American Indian or
Alaskan Native) and low-income population including whites (median household income below the
Department of Health and Human SefV1ces poverty guidelines), Pursuant to the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEP A), all federally funded transportation planning and decisions must involve an
environmental justice assessment process that explicitly considers adverse effects or the potential of
adverse effects on these population segments. See Section 9 for public comments collected during the
public involvement process.

Transportation Policy Committee Meeting,
Port of Corpus Christi Authority, November 2, 2000
The MFO Policy Committee convened the meeting at I :30 p.m. Approximately seven people attended
the meeting. The list of attendees is attached wIth these comments.
Mr. Amin illkarim explained the public involvement process and its importance in the preparation of
the TIP. Mr. U1karim explained to the TPC that we have received requests from area entities to include
several projects on FY 2002 - FY 2004 TIP list. Many of the projects were moved to priority II, since we
do not have enough funds in STP 4C (Metro Mobility Funds). The reason being that we have borrowed
funds from successive years. But on the other hand, the Texas Transportation is meeting in January 2001
and it may approve additional funds which would bring back projects like US 181 and Crosstown
Extension into Priority I list. Mr. U1karim also mentioned that the estimated cost of some projects on the
current TIP is higher than the construction cost which may save some money, 1bis savings would be
used for the ADA Accessibility Project to FY 2002 from Priority II.
Mr. Billy Parks said that we should not make the recommendation that the saving would be used only
for an ADA Compliance project, ADA projects should compete with other projects since we have other
necessary projects in the MFO area. for example the Joe Fulton International Corridor.
Mr. Amin Ulkarim replied that we would only bring the $600,000 ADA project which was moved to
the Prionty II list.
Judge Josephine Miller said that we should go back to the TAC on how to use additional savings that
may occur.

2002 _ FY 2004 TIP. The following are the questions and comments passed during the meeting:
Mr. Randy Wrights explained the number of accidents on US 181 which is planned for expansion. He

that he supports the US 181 project.
Mr. David Kreb commented on the moming rush hour traffic which is bumper to bumper. He said that
the increase in the number oflane would reduce traffic congestion. Also, he said that development in
Ingleside and Gregory are putting traffic pressure on US 181 requiring its expansion.
Mr. Mike Tanner asked what is the reason behind moving US 181 from FY 2001 to FY 2002? Is it the
funding issue or something else?
Mr. Billy Parks said that funding is not the problem. He said the project is delayed for eight to nine
months due to environmental issues, TxDOT staff is working on it. since the area is critical habitat for
some birds and wetland.
Mr. James Boren had concerns about the US 181 causeway elevation in the Portland City limits which
is below the other sections of the Causeway, He said that raising the causeway is very important for both
hurricane evacuation and emergency management. He said it would also provide a decent access to the
Interstate system.
Ms. Peggy Locasio said that she is very much interested in US 181 project which is used for hurricane
evacuation.
Mr. John A. CoCas commented on the importance of the frontage road on US 181. He said without
frontage roads, one has to run on the shoulders to merge into main lanes which is not safe.
Mr. Ron Jorgenson was concerned about hurricane evacuation and frontage road on US 181.
Ms. Barbara Skinner said that environmental problems should not supercede human needs.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
PURPOSE OF CLOSURE AND BACKGROUND:
Pyle & Associates on behalf of Sonrisa Partners, Inc" is requesting the abandonment and
vacation of a 4,500-square foot, 1 O-foot wide utility easement out of Lot 21, Block 17, Padre
Island NO.1. to correct a surveyor's mistake made during the previous abandonment and
vacation of San Felipe Drive (former paper street) and retention of the easement for an
existing Central Power & Light Company overhead transmission line (Ordinance No.
023201, January 27,1998). It was recently discovered that the transmission lines are not
in the easement established by the replat which was required for the mentioned previous
abandonment and vacation. The new easement, with the transmission lines centered, will
be re-established parallel to and north of the easement being abandoned and vacated upon
the required replat (See Exhibit "A"),
All public and franchised utilities were contacted, None had any objection to the
abandonment and vacation of the utility easement.
Staff recommends that payment of the fair market value be waived because Owner will be
dedicating a 1 O-foot wide utility easement to off-set the proposed abandonment. The owner
has been advised of and concurs with the conditions of the easement abandonment.

The Police Department will establish a program to train all officers in the proper response to these
offenses. Training materials will be prepared for presentation to schools, students, community
groups and other law enforcement officers. We will also begin proactive investigation of these
offenses and continue to respond to referrals from other outside agencies with technical and
forensic assistance in an attempt to combat the sexual eXploitation and victimization of children by
preferential sex offenders.

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
Date; August 2 L 2001
AGENDA ITEM:
A. Ordinance establishing a Municipal Court Collection Fee pursuant to Article 103.0031 ofthe Texas Code
of Criminal Procedure in the amount ono percent on each debt or account receivable such as fines, fees,
restitution, and other debts or costs, other than forfeited bonds that is more than 60 days past due.
B. Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute a revision to Section 4.0 Compensation
of the existing agreement with Linebarger, Heard, Goggan, Blair, Graham, Pena and Sampson, LLP to
collect outstanding fines and fees on behalf of the City.
ISSUE: On April 10"', the City Council approved a Motion to Execute an agreement withLinebarger, Heard,
Goggan, Blair, Graham, Pena and Sampson, LLP to collect outstanding Court fines and fees on behalf of the
Court. The cost to the City was based on recovery only and the commission rate negotiated was 23%.
The Governor recently signed Senate Bill 1778 which authorizes a municipality or a county to contract with
a private attorney or collection agency and authorizes the addition of a collection fee in the amount of 30% on
each debt or account receivable that is more than 60 days past due and has been referred to the attorney or
collection vendor for collection.
If the Council approves this collection fee to be charged to the defendant, the burden for collection is paid by
the defendant and not the City. The collection fee is a pass through cost that will be collected by the City and
paid to the law firm as specified in our agreement.
Funding: There will be additional programming required to modifY the Court's computer system to enable
the system to account for this new collection fee, in addition, the programming will improve the collection
interface already developed. Court Specialist, Inc., the Court vendor has provided a cost estimate of $8,000
for the required programming. Funding for this additional programming is available in Municipal Court
Administration Budget FY 01-02. The pass through collection fee will save the City the commission rate
expense and will contribute to an increase in revenue of $92,000 for FY 01-02.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: City Council must approve this ordinance and motion as proposed.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the approval of the ordinance and motion as submitted.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Court, as other Municipal Courts throughout the State, historically has had difficulty getting
defendants to address their cases timely, and once assessed a fine, to pay the amount owed to the
City. However, the Court does not have the expertise or the resources to pursue older cases. We do
not have the expertise in "skip tracing" techniques which allow a vendor experienced in collection
to locate and pursue defendants that are adept at changing their identity and have made a deliberate
attempt to "get lost". Our objective is to enhance existing collection efforts and existing
enforcement actions. In April, with the Council's approval, the law firm of Linebarger, Heard,
Goggan, Blair, Graham, Pena and Sampson, LLP was selected to provide collection services on
behalf of the City.
Under the current agreement with the law firm, the City agrees to pay as compensation for collection
services 23% of all monies actually collected and paid to the City on delinquent cases/accounts
during the term of this contract. With Council approval, we can implement Senate Bill 1778 signed
by the Governor which allows a municipality or a county to create a collection fee which is then
added to the amount owed by the defendant. This collection fee then pays for the collection services
provided by the law firm.
The net result is that the defendant who has not addressed their cases or is delinquent on their
outstanding payment arrangement will be assessed a collection fee of 30% of the total fine owed.
This collection fee will be collected by the Court and paid to the law firm for their collection services
on behalf of the City. The City will save the 23% commission rate originally negotiated and as a
result will be able to retain 100% of the fine and Court costs collected. We estimate that by
eliminating the commission rate of 23%, the City will be able to retain an additional $92,000 in
revenue during FY 01-02.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
Additional Background Information
BACKGROUND:
Seashore Learning Center is a kindergarten through sixth grade public elementary
school for the Padre Island and Flour Bluff community, The average attendance at this
school exceeds the 150 students identified in the City's Code of Ordinances for
providing school zone controls on abutting public streets.
The director of the Seashore Learning Center Charter School has requested the City to
study the feasibility of converting Palmira Drive immediately abutting this school to a
one-way street during morning and afternoon school hours, Traffic congestion, conflicts
with two-way traffic movements, and increasing hazards to students needing to cross
the current two-way traffic flow on Palmira Drive are the reasons cited for introducing
the one-way traffic pattern.
The study process for one-way school zone requests considers the probable traffic
impact of the proposed one-way traffic pattern on neighboring streets, existing
directional traffic and driveway turning movements on the proposed one-way streets
Staff.s analysis of the traffic conditions at these schools have included interviews with
school officials, detailed traffic counts, examination of related traffic accident experience
and discussions with the Police Department.
One-Way Street Criteria. The Traffic Engineering Division has three objectives for
implementation of one-way school zone traffic patterns: (i) improved student pedestrian
safety, (ii) reduction of school-related traffic congestion, and (iii) nominal impact of
redirected traffic on abutting residential streets, Based on the observed traffic
conditions and ordinary occurrence of these conditions throughout the school year,
Staff is confident that the proposed one-way traffic pattern on the identified street
sections will satisfy these requisite conditions.
Development Alona Palmira Drive I Impact of Proposed Traffic Pattern. Palmira
Drive is a residential zoned street with the smallest (24-ft) street width, There is little
development on this street presently except the school. Only single-family residential
hornes front onto or side onto this and immediately adjacent streets,
Palmira has a current traffic demand of approximately 400 vehicles per sChoolday, The
majority of the current traffic demand travels the northbound direction of the proposed
one-way pattern,
The proposed one-way school zone lends itself well to the desired direction parents
should be taking to and from the school. Redirected traffic (normally turning from
Encantada Avenue onto Palmira) has the option of using a number of other nearby
streets to by-pass the one-way school zone.

Prior Council Action: Since 1966, prior City Councils have approved one-way school
zone traffic patterns on 40 street sections at 32 elementary and middle school zones in
Corpus Christi.
Review by Transportation Advisory Committee:
Committee has reviewed the Staff recommendation
recommend approval to the City Council.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
Agenda Item:
Date: August 24, 2001
Public hearing on proposed ad valorem tax revenue increase.
Issue:
The FY 2001-2002 City budget includes a proposed tax rate of $0.6441745 per $100 valuation which exceeds
the notice and hearing rate of $0,623141 (effective tax rate of $0,604992 X 103%). The State Property Tax Code
requires that a public hearing be held when a taxing unit proposes to impose a tax rate that exceeds the lower of
the rollback tax rate or 103 percent of the effective tax rate.
Prior Council Action:
. Tuesday, July 24,2001 - City Council adopted the City budget for FY 2001-2002 based on the proposed
tax rate of$O,6441745 per $100 valuation.
. Tuesday, July 24,2001 - City Council voted to schedule September II, 2001 for adoption of the ad
valorem tax rate of$0.6441745, and scheduled a public hearing on the proposed ad valorem tax rate for
August 28, 2001.
Future Council Action:
. On Tuesday, September II, 2001, the City Council will adopt the ad valorem tax rate of $0.6441745 per
$100 valuation.
. On Tuesday, September II, 2001, the City Council will approve the 2001 Tax Levy.
Required Council Action:
Hold a public hearing to enable taxpayers to express their views on the tax increase. At the end ofthe hearing,
City Council must announce the date, time, and place of the meeting at which it will vote on the proposed tax rate,
Recommendation:

EXHIBIT A
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The State Property Tax Code requires that a public hearing be held when a taxing unit proposes to impose a tax
rate that exceeds the lower of the rollback tax rate or 103 percent of the effective tax rate. The effective tax rate
is generally equal to the prior year's taxes divided by the current year's taxable values of properties that were also
on the tax roll in the prior year, The effective tax rate excludes taxes on properties no longer in the taxing unit
and also excludes the current taxable value of new properties, The rollback tax rate is the highest tax rate the
taxing unit can set before taxpayers can start rollback procedures. The rollback tax rate divides the overall
property taxes into two categories - maintenance and operations (M&O) taxes and debt service taxes, The M&O
portion of the tax rate is the rate that would be needed to raise 8 percent more operating funds than the unit levied
in the preceding year, This calculation is similar to the effective rate calculation. The debt rate portion is the tax
rate that will be needed to pay the unit's debt payments in the coming year, This part of the calculation does not
depend on the prior year's debt taxes, it only considers what the unit will need for the current year. The portion
ofthe overall rate used to retire debt may rise as high as necessary without triggering a potential rollback. The
M&O portion, however, may rise only 8 percent.
The Fiscal Year 2001-2002 City budget approved by Council on July 24, 2001 includes a proposed tax rate of
$0,6441745 per $100 valuation, allocated between the General Fund and the Debt Service Fund in the amounts
of $0.4575227 and $0.1866518, respectively, This proposed rate exceeds 103 percent of the effective tax rate
of $0,604992 per $100 valuation, and, therefore, requires the City to conduct a public hearing,
The City's 2001 net taxable value is $8,029,325,055, which is $377,267,652 above last year's 2000 certified vlaue
of $7,652,057,403, This produces an ad valorem tax levy of $51,722,865, which is $3,994,994 greater than last
year.
Also, as required by the Code, a "Notice of Vote on Tax Rate" will be published on September 9, 2001 in the
Corpus Christi Caller-Times (see Exhibit B),

Title
Director of Financial Services
DeptIDivision
Financial Services
ISSUE: Quarterly update on City's Health Insurance Program, as well as a summary of Risk
Management's other programs,
BACKGROUND: Since the last quarterly report in May, the City's health program has continued
to improve. However, we are still vulnerable to one or two large claims eroding the positive financial
position, In an effort to strength the program, several program changes were made this last fiscal
year They included: 1. An expansion of the pre-certification process to include out-patient,
psychiatric, chemical dependency, and emergency room within 48 hours of admittance admissions;
speech and physical therapy; durable medical equipment in excess of $500; and MRI's and CT scans;
2 Discharge Planning; 3, Diabetic Care Training; and 4. An agreement with Consultec, current
manager for the pharmacy network, to match the lower bid received from Walgreen Drug Stores,
Additionally, for fiscal year 2001 - 2002, a 3% premium increase was implemented for Citicare and
Citicare Q-Plus participants, as well as an increase in the emergency room co-pay from $35 to $50.
Currently, however, negotiations are underway for Citicare-Fire and Public Safety Citicare,
Risk Management's other programs (general/auto liability, workers' compensation, and safety
programs) have seen an increase in costs this past fiscal year. Risk Management is identifYing areas
which can be currently dealt with in order to address the increasing costs.
Staff Recommendation
As of July 31, 2001, it appears that the City's health insurance program is slowly strengthening,
These findings are unaudited and preliminary; however, it looks as though the overall program will
end positively. In reviewing the individual programs, action has been taken for Citicare and Citicare
Q-Plus in that a 3% premium increase was implemented August 1,2001. Additionally, the emergency
room co-pay was increased from $35 to $50. However, for the Citicare-Fire and Public Safety
Citicare, negotiations are currently under way.
In reviewing the other Risk Management programs, workers' compensation costs, as well as
general/auto liability claims continue to increase, Risk Management is developing a more rigorous
safety program for City employees in order to help identifY problem areas and ways to improve them.

LOCATION: The PVNA park area is the west side of the larger South Guth Park which
is located at the intersection of heavily trafficked Ennis Joslin Road and Nile Drive, The
Hans and Pat Suter Wildlife Refuge is located across Ennis Joslin Road on the east side
of South Guth Park, The PVNA area is the west and south sides of the park abutting
homes on Pharaoh Drive and forming a buffer between them and the other three
component units in South Guth Park: the Little League (5 baseball diamonds), the
National League (3 diamonds) and Little Miss Kickball (3 fields), All of the components
have separate limited on-site parking.
South Guth Park is a prime site for an attractive, unique and cooperative multipurpose
activity park. Ennis Joslin Road is a designated connector city street between Ocean
Drive and SPID used by visitors and tourists as well as local traffic, It serves as a
gateway to Padre Island from and to Corpus Christi. Nile Drive is used by T AMU-CC,
NAS, CCAD and local traffic to get to and from SPID. A properly planned South Guth
Park can be used as a model "showcase" park for use by Corpus Christi residents and
visitors alike.
PLANNING: PVNA has been planning for the park for several years. The PVNA Park
Committee surveyed subdivision residents to find what equipment and activities they
wanted in the PVNA designated area, More than 100 responses were received showing
the most desired elements to be a bike/walking trail and a children's playground. Various
other uses were mentioned, The Park Committee used the results of this survey to
determine what other activities should be included. Planning has been done in
conjunction with the Corpus Christi Park and Recreation Department staff.
Ms. Elizabeth Richter, national award winning architect of Richter Architects, agreed to
give her service and that of Richter Architects to consult with the committee and to
provide a site plan (see attached site plan) for the PVNA park master plan for South Guth
Park, She is contributing this service as a resident of Pelican's Bay Drive in Pharaoh
Valley Subdivision and PVNA member.
Seeing the potential for development of South Guth Park to become a "crown jewel"
among city parks in Corpus Christi, Ms. Richter proposed a comprehensive cooperative
multipurpose master plan development for South Guth Park. She took advantage of the
park's prime location across from the Suter Wildlife Refuge, on a segment of the Oso
Parkway Trail and along the to be widened Ennis Joslin with planned landscaped
medians as an extension of Ocean and Alameda Drives. The proposed master plan
_.~
1
T
incorporates existing ball fields and kickball fields unchanged except for the addition of
much needed parking to be shared by all groups and for trees to be planted along the
perimeter of the park, This master plan was submitted to the Park and Recreation
Advisory Committee for their review and endorsement to the City Council for final
approval. It details the major activity elements in the PVNA neighborhood park. The
proposed master plan can be accomplished to the benefit of all of the park user groups if
everyone agrees to the master plan and works cooperatively toward its achievement under
the guidance of the Park and Recreation staff.

PVNA PARK PROPOSAL, Page 2
PVNA PARK ACTIVITY DEVELOPMENT
Planning for this park focuses on activities for young children, older residents, families,
and additional youth activities. Existing elements now in the park are a basketball court, children's
swing set, a climbing stand, and a small caliche parking lot. There are some mesquite trees, and
palm trees along Nile Drive on the north side of the park. Development of the PVNA Park will
commence as soon as the engineering study and irrigation plans are complete. Some equipment
then can be purchased and installed pursuant to the master park plan provided approvals are
given by the Park & Recreation Committee, the City Council, and the Park and Recreation
department staff. The PVNA park will be accessible for the physically impaired.
.Planned activities in the PVNA park area are:
Basketball (existing court)
Children's playground (existing swing, climbing apparatus)
New playground equipment with capability for later add ons. (Funding has been appropriated by the
PVNA Board for purchase)
Trash receptacles
Hikelbike trail.(Trail will be around the perimeter of South Guth Park by use of the sidewalks along
Ennis Joslin and Nile streets now under reconstruction and widening. The segment through
the PVNA area must be built by funding obtained by PVNA.)
Park benches
Picnic tables with barbecue grills (Several wheelchair accessible.)
Volleyball
Horseshoes
Pingpong table (hard top fixed table)
Croquet
Shuffieboard (can be on floor of the pavilion)
Covered pavilion
All equipment and elements installed will comply with the Park and Recreation Department standards and
specifications.
DEVELOPMENT PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
The strategic plan for implementation will be phased as follows:
Phase 1. (Fall 2001 ) (See attachments.)
Fund raising: T-shirt sale, contributions, pledges, fund raisers, etc.
Playground equipment purchase & installation. (Mulch provided by the City)

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
August 28, 2001
AGENDA ITEM:
Motion approving an annexation calendar and authorizing staff to prepare service
plans and schedule Planning Commission and City Council public hearings to
consider six (6) areas of land/water for inclusion in the 2001 Annexation Program.
ISSUE: The City of Corpus Christi is empowered by State Law to zone land within its
5-mile Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ET J) to provide for orderly and responsible growth
of the City. Attachment A contains the proposed 2001 annexation program, In order
to complete any City-initiated annexations before the end of 2001, staff is requesting
the City Council initiate the annexation process for six tracts as indicated in yellow on
Attachment A. These areas contain approximately 16,067 acres and a combined
population of 275 permanent residents. In addition, each of these areas are exempt
from the plan requirements in the1999 State Annexation Law which requires cities to
place areas proposed for annexation into an annexation plan for three years prior to
annexation. As development occurs in these areas they will eventually lose their
exempt status when 100 or more residential units on separate tracts exist within an
annexation area.
This annexation proposal is somewhat different then the annexation information
previously provided to City Council on June 17, 2001 in that the areas along Old
Brownsville Road (F .M. 665), including Rose Acres, and Weber Road (F.M. 43) have
been deferred to allow time for a thorough evaluation of potential service costs and
fiscal impact.
Attachment B contains a proposed annexation calendar and Attachment C contains
a brief profile of each area addressing existing population, housing, infrastructure,
and development issues.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION:
Approval of an annexation calendar (Attachment B) setting a Planning Commission
public hearing date and two City Council public hearing dates, one of which include a
special City Council meeting on Mustang Island, and authorizing staff to prepare
service plans for the six areas.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
The last City initiated annexation program occurred in 1999, when the City Council
_.~
---. T"""'- --~-I
Annexation Profile
August 28, 2001
Page 2
approved annexation of undeveloped land next to Wood River Subdivision in the
Northwest and annexation of several undeveloped tracts on Padre Island and
Mustang Island. In 1999, the City Council also approved a motion to annex the
remaining portions of Mustang Island by December 31,2002.
FUNDING:
Service plans, costs and funding information will available in September well in
advance of the first public hearing.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION:
There are a number of positive reasons for the City to consider annexing these
areas, including City authority to control the quality of development and encourage
growth that is compatible with each area. Annexation will allow the City to enforce
zoning, building, fire, police, and other health and safety ordinances
Staff recommends City Council approval of an annexation calendar (Attachment A)
setting a Planning Commission public hearing date and two City Council public
hearings and authorizing staff to prepare service plans for the six areas.

limit line along East Riverview Drive, Annexation of these two areas will complete the 1995
City Council annexation agreement to gradually annex the remaining Wood River tracts.
Characteristics of the Area: These areas are part of the Wood River Area Master Plan
and are presently vacant and undeveloped, Adjoining tracts presently inside the City limits
are in the early stages of the platting process for future Wood River Units, The growth
potential of this area is excellent. These areas are part of the Northwest Area
Development Plan and will be part of Single Member District No.1, if annexed.
Demographics: No residents as these two areas are undeveloped.
Improvements in Place: Water, wastewater and gas service lines are accessible from the
City of Corpus Christi through adjacent Wood River Units.
Assessment of Needs: No major service needs are anticipated for these areas. The
delivery of services to these areas will not place a burden on the City. New development,
requiring implementation costs for proposed improvements, will be incurred by the
owner/developer in accordance with the platting process.
Issues and Concerns: Nueces River, which is the water source for the City of Corpus
Christi, is also the north-most boundary forthis area. Annexation will protect Nueces River
water quality by requiring development to follow the City's Stormwater Drainage policies
and regulations. In addition, annexing this area will allow the City to control the quality of
development and enforce zoning, building, fire, police, and other city health and safety
codes and encourage growth that is compatible with the area.

South Padre Island. Area "C" Tracts 1 & 2
Descriptive Location: These two tracts of approximately 1 ,251 acres straddling the
Nueces/Kleberg County Line and are contiguous with the present City limit line to the north,
east and west. Both Tracts are part of Padre Island and are situated between the Laguna
Madre to the west and the Gulf of Mexico to the east.
Characteristics of the Area: A majority of the acreage consists of wetland areas, Both
tracts are subject to the Coastal Barrier Resources Act (CBRA). CBRA was passed by
Congress in 1982 and prohibits Federal Agencies from providing expenditures or financial
assistance for new development.
Tract 1: The Jones Tract consists of approximately 1,200 acres and 1.5 miles
(7,900 feet) of beach frontage along the Gulf of Mexico, located on Padre Island
immediately south of the Padre Isles Subdivision, With the exception of two active
oil/natural gas wells the tract is devoid of any improvements.
Tract 2 is a 51-acre tract, which is privately owned located between the Nueces
County Balli Park and the Nueces/Kleberg County Line,
Note: the qulf beach adiacent to these two properties is not proposed for annexation,
Demoaraphics: There is one house in Tract 2 with an estimated population of two people.
Improvements in Place: No infrastructure is in place however, the City of Corpus Christi
has assisted with the enhancement of wetlands in this area. The City has returned a 32-
acre portion of the Jones Property to its natural vegetative state as part of a 1994 judgment
by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, The five-year project came about as
mitigation of damages to another area in the Laguna Madre.
Assessment of Needs: A 12" water line is available along Park Road 22. The nearest
wastewater line is located approximately one-quarter mile to the north at the intersection of
Sea Pines and Palmira Avenue,
Issues and Concerns:
1. Once these two Tracts are annexed the City will support removal of these two tracts
from Coastal Barrier Resources Act (CBRA) status. This will increase the development
potential of the tracts.

2. In November of 1994, Kleberg County delegated to the City of Corpus Christi, the
authority to administer the provisions of Chapter 63 of the Texas Natural Resources
Code within the corporate limits of the City and the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City,
This gives the City of Corpus Christi the authority to enforce dune protection measures
in Kleberg County between the National Sea Shore and Nueces County,
3. Annexing this area will allow the City to control the quality of development and enforce
zoning, building, fire, police, health and safety ordinances and encourage growth that is
compatible with the area.

Demoaraphics: According to the 2000 Census, there were 273 permanent residents living
in the area, Currently, there are 4 single-family residential units and 682 condominiums
units for a total of 686 residential units.
Improvements In Place: At the present time, the four tracts are provided water and
wastewater services by the Nueces County Water Control and Improvement District No.4,
The district purchases water from the City of Corpus Christi, which is provided through a
water line extending along S. H. 361 from Park Rd 22 to the condominium units and
continuing to Port Aransas. City of Corpus Christi wastewater lines are not accessible to
this area. The City will continue to allow the current gas provider to continue natural gas
service to this area, since their transportation line starts at the Corpus Christi Fish Pass
and continues to Port Aransas.
Assessment of Needs: The delivery of all typical services to this area would require
additional Fire and Park and Recreation Department personnel. Nueces County Water
Control and Improvement District #4 will continue to provide water and wastewater services
to these tracts.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 15, 2001
SUBJECT: Storm Water Master Plan (Project No. 2083)
AGENDA ITEM:
A) Update on City Council Priority Issues Action Plan to evaluate the need for a Storm Water
Drainage Utility.
B) Motion authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to execute an engineering
contract in the amount of $1 ,048,480 with Goldston Engineering, Inc. for the Storm
Water Master Plan Project.
ISSUE: The City currently utilizes Master Plans that date back to 1946, 1961, 1970, 1982,
and 1988, which result in use of inconsistent criteria without an adopted level of protection
policy. The development of a comprehensive, updated, consistent Storm Water Master
Plan based on an adopted Storm Water Criteria and Design Manual is necessary to
respond to development, environmental issues and to better define and prioritize on-going
and future drainage capital improvement projects.
FUNDING: Funds for this project are available in the FY 2000-2001 Storm Water Capital
Improvement Program.

In order to continue with the proposed Action Plan, the consultant contract with
Goldston Engineering, Inc. is proposed today.
The City Council approved the Storm Water Capital Improvements Program (CIP) for
FY 1999-2000 on July 20, 1999 (Ordinance No. 023703). Included were separate
projects for drainage study in specific areas of the City, The need to integrate these
individual drainage studies into a consistent, uniform analysis became evident and was
approved in the Storm Water CIP FY 2000-2001 (Ordinance No. 024130). The City
now utilizes Master Plans that date back to 1946, 1961, 1970, 1982, 1988 with
inconsistent criteria and without an adopted level of protection policy. As a result it was
proposed to integrate these projects into the FY 2000-2001 Storm Water CIP as Storm
Water Master Plan Project. The development of a comprehensive, updated, consistent
Storm Water Master Plan based on an adopted Storm Water Criteria and Desiqn
Manual is necessary to respond to development, environmental issues and to better
define and prioritize on-going and future storm water capital improvement projects.
In order to proceed with the engineering work associated with the proposed project,
Requests for Proposals (RFP) were distributed to 163 engineering and architectural
firms (72 local and 91 non-local) on June 23, 2000. The following three (3) consultant
teams submitted proposals:
1, Freese & Nichols Engineering
2. Goldston Engineering, Inc.
3, Lontos, p, E. & Thompson, P. E. (Joint Venture)
All three (3) teams were deemed competent and able to complete the project. As a
result of the submittal reviews and interviews, the team of Goldston Engineering, Inc.
was selected as the most highly qualified team. The major factors contributing to the
recommendation of the interview panel were as follows:
. The team's familiarity with the project;
. The team's expertise with similar projects involving storm water master
plan projects; and
H:\HOMEWElMAR\GEN\DRAINAGE\2063\BACKGRQUND1NFORMA liON
EXHIBIT "A"
Page 2 of 3
. The team is well balanced to address the project requirements, possesses
good team compatibility, and substantial expertise.
The Storm Water Master Plan Project will be prepared by the proposed consultant,
Goldston Engineering, Inc., with City staff assistance; and will include input and
direction from City Council, the Storm Water Management Advisory Committee,
community stakeholders, and the public. The Project will be completed by the end of
December 2002 and will include the following:
. storm water policy and criteria development;
. topographic mapping;
. hydrologic and hydraulic analysis; and
. long-term planning elements.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project consists of two phases.
1, Phase One will produce a Storm Water Criteria and Desiqn Manual to be
adopted by Council action. The Manual will include policy statements for storm
water management consistent with federal/state regulations and subdivision
development, a level of protection and drainage design criteria that reflect the
input of key stakeholders.
2. Phase Two will develop an updated, consistent Storm Water Master Plan for the
City. The Master Plan will consist of map sheets at a scale of 1" = 400 I.f. with
two foot contours based on L1DAR (Light Imaging Detection and Ranging) and
aerial photography using USGS 1995 digital orthogonal rectified quarter-
quadrangle base maps. The map sheets will reflect the results of the hydrologic
and hydraulic modelling of the selected areas to include the parameters required
for design of future capital improvement projects as well as land use
development projects.
CONTRACT SUMMARY/FEE: A contract summary and fee is attached as Exhibit "C".

CONTRACT SUMMARY
STORM WATER MASTER PLAN
1. SCOPE OF PROJECT
The City of Corpus Christi recognizes that drainage study analysis throughout the city
needs to be performed in a consistent, uniform, and integrated manner. Thus, the funding
for the "Storm Water Master Plan Project" was approved in the Storm Water Capital
Improvements Program (CIP) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2000-2001.
Past use of Storm Water Master Plans that date back to 1946, 1961, 1970, 1982 and 1988
has resulted in the use of inconsistent criteria without an adopted level of protection and
policies. However, now that Storm Water CIP FY 2000-2001 has been approved, the
separate plans and studies of the past can be integrated into a new Storm Water Master
Plan Project.
The Storm Water Master Plan Project will be divided into two phases. Phase 1 will be the
Storm Water Criteria and Design Manual; and Phase 2 will be the Storm Water Master
Plan.
2. SCOPE OF SERVICES
The AlE hereby agrees, at its own expense, to provide engineering services necessary to
complete the Storm Water Master Plan Project for the City. In addition, AlE will provide
monthly status updates (project progress or delays, Gantt charts presented with monthly
invoices) as described in Exhibit A, A-1 and A-2, to complete the Project. Work will not
begin on Additional Services until requested by the AlE (provide breakdown of costs,
schedules), and written authorization is provided by the Director of Engineering Services.

1. Council to reappoint Storm Water Management Advisory Committee (SWMAC) - Jul 2001
2, Review current system for providing Storm Water drainage services - Aug/Sep 2001
Funding under current mechanism
Storm Water System Maintenance & Operations
Capital Improvement Program (CIP)
Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit (TPDES) permit programs and
requirements
Examine findings of Drainage Master Plan (CIP) project
a. Identify existing service levels and community demands - Oct 2001
b. Determine level of service and design standards - Dec 2002
c. Adoption of new standards by Council - Jan 2003
d, Reprioritize drainage CIP projects - on-going
3. Compare ability of the existing funding system to meet future needs - Mar 2002
4. Review alternatives for funding Storm Water services - May 2002
5. Recommend implementation plan to effectively meet Storm Water services demand - Jun 2002
Background Summary:
Prior to 1989 the City of Corpus Christi relied upon the General Fund to support Storm Water operations.
Presently, Water Fund revenues support Storm Water operations. Water service is distinctly separate from
storm water drainage service, and the system of funding needs to be reviewed,
The Texas Municipal Drainage Utilities Systems Act was amended in 1989 to provide enabling powers to all
municipalities for utility formation. Numerous cities have already established storm water drainage utilities to
support their dr~inage programs. Storm Water utility establishment is the most equitable means of allocating
EXHIBIT "D"

storm water management costs because rates will be related to drainage. Revenues can be used to support
all aspects of a comprehensive storm water management program (administration, operations/maintenance,
infrastructure repairlreplacement, capital improvements, water quality management, and National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)/Texas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (TPDES) permit
compliance).

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
August 28, 200 I
AGENDA ITEM: Consideration of authorization to proceed with actions to acquire the Garwood
pipeline route.
ISSUE: The Nueces River Basin and South Texas have been experiencing a period of protracted drought.
Lake Corpus Christi and Choke Canyon Reservoirs have continued to decline and are currently below
thirty percent combined capacity. Though the Mary Rhodes Pipeline has made the City of Corpus Christi
water system more drought tolerant, the development of a previously acquired water source, the Garwood
Water Rights from the Colorado River, must be evaluated.
Prior City Council Action: Acquisition of 35,000 acre-feet of senior water rights on the Colorado River
in the Bay City area from the Garwood Irrigation Company.
Background Summary: Inter basin transfer of water is already a part of the Coastal Bend Region's water
supply. In 1999, the Mary Rhodes Pipeline was completed to deliver 41,840 acre-feet/year from Lake
Texana in the Lavaca-Navidad River Basin to the City of Corpus Christi O. N. Stevens Water Treatment
Plant in the Nueces River Basin. The transmission facilities were designed in anticipation that additional
surface water owned or purchased by the City of Corpus Christi outside the Nueces River Basin would
be pwnped to the Coastal Bend Region via the Lavaca-Navidad River Authority's West Water Delivery
System and the City of Corpus Christi's Mary Rhodes Pipeline (hereinafter referred to as the Texana
Pipeline).
In September 1992, the City of Corpus Christi entered into an option agreement for the potential purchase
of up to 35,000 acre-feet/year from the Garwood Irrigation Company. The Garwood Irrigation Company
(Garwood) held the most significant senior water right in the Lower Colorado River Basin, with a priority
date of November 1, 1900. This water right authorized the diversion of 168,000 acre-feet/year from the
Colorado River at a maximwn rate of750 cfs, or 1,488 acre-feet per day. Most of Garwood's service area
lies outside the Colorado River Basin, and currently uses a large part of its right for irrigation ofland that
is located in the Lavaca-Navidad River Basin.
In 1993, the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC) authorized an amendment to
Garwood's water right that allows for the use of 35,000 acre-feet of its right to be used for municipal and
industrial purposes. On October 7, 1998, the rnRCC approved the City of Corpus Christi's purchase of
the 35,000 acre-feet/year from the Garwood Irrigation Company, herein referred to as the Garwood
Purchase. The amendment of the certificate of adjudication authorizes the City of Corpus Christi to
diver! 35,000 acre-feet/year from the Colorado River for irrigation, municipal, and industrial purpose at
a rate not to exceed 150 cfs. The certificate also subordinates the 35,000 acre-feet/year to the remaining
portion of the original Garwood Irrigation water right by giving it a priority date of November 2, 1900.
-
During the TNRCC permitting of the Texana Pipeline facilities on the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation
(USBR) property at Lake Texana, the USBR indicated that it would exclude the Colorado River water
purchased by the City of Corpus Christi from entering Lake Texana and this restriction was placed in the
TNRCC permit authorizing Corpus Christi's use of the Garwood water. This requirement requires
routing the pipeline and transmission facilities around Lake Texana, a diversion site near Bay City, and
joining the pipeline from the Colorado River to the Texana Pipeline. The diversion site is located at an
existing diversion dam near Bay City, and a pipeline to Lake Texana is needed to deliver the water to the
Texana Pipeline at a point just downstream of Lake Texana for transmission to Corpus Christi
(hereinafter referred to as the Garwood Pipeline).
Two options are available for delivering the Garwood Purchase to the Texana Pipeline, which are as
follows:
1. Deliver the water at a peak diversion rate directly from the Colorado River to the Texana Pipeline.
2. Deliver the water at a uniform annual rate to the Texana Pipeline, utilizing an off channel storage
site near the Colorado River diversion site.
Delivery of the Garwood Purchase at a peak diversion rate directly to the Texana Pipeline requires the
capacity in both the Garwood Pipeline and the Texana Pipeline to pump a maximum diversion rate from
the Colorado River during periods of high flow. In order to accomplish the second delivery option, the
water must be "finned up" during periods of drought when it is not available directly from the Colorado
River. One option for "firming up" the water is to utilize an off channel storage site, such as a ring-dike
reservoir, which is evaluated in this section. The Colorado River water is diverted at a maximum rate
during times of high flow, and is stored in the ring-dike reservoir. This provides a dependable water
source during periods of drought for uniform delivery of the Garwood Purchase to the Texana Pipeline.
Total project costs depending on delivery option selected range from $75M to $85M. Total annual costs
range from $8.8M to $9.1M. Annual cost of water ranges from $253 per acre-feet ($0.78 per 1,000
gallons) to $259 per acre-feet ($0.79 per 1,000 gallons).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends consideration of authorization to proceed with actions
to acquire the Garwood pipeline route.

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
August 28, 2001
AGENDA ITEM: Consideration of authorization to proceed with actions to develop water desalination
facilities.
ISSUE: The Nueces River Basin and South Texas have been experiencing a period of protracted drought.
Lake Corpus Christi and Choke Canyon Reservoirs have continued to decline and are currently below
thirty percent combined capacity. Though the Mary Rhodes Pipeline has made the City of Corpus Christi
water system more drought tolerant, the development of other potential water sources must be evaluated.
Since Corpus Christi lies on the coast, the development of desalination plant has been studied. At this
time, consideration of authorization to proceed with actions to develop water desalination facilities
should be considered.
BACKGROUND: lThe project as detailed in the Coastal Bend Regional Water Planning Group's Water
Plan is proposed as a 25 mgd plant with the ability to increase in size by utilizing a modular design and
construction concept. Two options, Seawater Desa1ination & Combined Seawater and Brackish
Groundwater Desalination, were presented in the Plan.
Seawater Desalination
This option provides for a major desalination water treatment plant on the Texas coast and the
infrastructure for transferring potable water from the coast to the major municipal demand center of
Corpus Christi. The proJXlsed seawater desa1ination facility will be located next to the Barney M. Davis
Power Station between the Laguna Madre and Oso Bay in south Corpus Christi. The Barney Davis
Power Station is a once-through cooling water power plant with an existing reported cooling water flow
of 467 MGD (521 MGD maximum capacity). Cooling water is diverted from the Laguna Madre and
returned to Oso Bay.
Drawing the source water from the JXlwer plant discharge eliminates the need to draw additional flow
from the bay for cooling water to the JXlwer plant and supplies feedwater with an increased temperature
that is beneficial for the RO process.
For the seawater only estimate, a separate RO concentrate disposal outfall is included to pipe the RO
concentrate to the open Gulf of Mexico. The outfall would cross the Laguna Madre and Padre Island and
extend into the Gulf to be diffused in water over 30 feet deep. Sea grass covers the majority of the bay
between the mainland and the barrier island. Therefore, costs for appropriate mitigation are included
assuming that half of the concentrate pipeline will be located through sea grass beds.
Combined Seawater and Brackish Groundwater Desalination
This evaluation considers including brackish groundwater as a raw water source or as a supplement to
seawater. Brackish groundwater has the benefits of needing little or no pretreatment and lower
concentrations of salinity than seawater. The estimate assumes that 18 MGD of brackish groundwater will
-
be available from the combined use ofNueces county well fields. Infrastructure includes two well fields,
brackish raw water transfer pumps and pipelines, desalination plant, and finished water transfer pumps
and pipelines from the coast to the major municipal demand center of Corpus Christi. The location of
the estimated desalination facility is the same as for the previous seawater desalination facility in
subsection SA. 16.4.1 next to the Barney M. Davis Power Station. Seawater is to be diverted from the
cooling water intake drawing water from Laguna Madre. However, for this combined seawater and
brackish groundwater option it is assumed that the lower salinity concentrate from the combined water
desalination process will be discharged back to the power station cooling water outfall and returned to
Oso Bay. No costs for a concentrate discharge pipeline to the open ocean have been included.
Total Project Costs for a 25 MGD Plant depending on option selected range from $178M to $219M. Total
annual costs range from $29M to $33M. Annual cost of water ranges from $1,041 per acre-feet ($3.19
per 1,000 gallons) to $1,168 per acre-feet ($3.59 per 1,000 gallons).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends consideration of authorization to proceed with actions to
develop water desalination facilities.

large for effective interaction and direction.
The new ordinance would establish a nine member committee consisting of the following: a
residential customer of the city's water system (homeowner), a large commercial customer of the
city's water system, a wholesale raw or treated water customer of the city's regional water supply
system, a representative of the Port Industries of Corpus Christi, a representative of a school district
located within the City, a representative of a military facility, a representative of

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Renewal Community (RC) initiative is a new kind of partnership among Federal, State,
and local governments; local businesses; and community organizations to stimulate
economic development in distressed communities. HUD will designate 40 (28 urban and
12 rural) of the most distressed communities in the Nation as Renewal Communities and
provide them with the opportunity for economic growth through a package of tax incentives.
Businesses who locate or expand in the RC designated area will receive substantial tax
incentives from January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2009. These incentives include:
" Wage Credits
Renewal Community Employment Credit
Work Opportunity Tax Credit
Welfare to Work Credit
" Deductions
Increased Section 179 Expensing
Commercial Revitalization Deductions
Environmental Cleanup Cost Deduction
" Bond Financing
Qualified Zone Academy Bonds
" Capital Gains
Zero Percent Capital Gains Rate for RC Asses
" Other Incentives
New Markets Tax Credit
Low-Income Housing Tax Credit
The nominated area must meet the geographic, population and economic condition
requirements to be eligible for designation. The boundary of an area must be continuous,
must be within the jurisdiction of one or more local governments, and must have a
population of not more than 200,000 and not less that 4,000. Additionally, the
unemployment rate in the nominated area must be at least one and one-half times the
national unemployment rate based on 1990 census data, each census tract within the
nominated area must have a poverty rate of least 20 percent, and at least 70 percent of
area households for the nominated area, as a whole, must have incomes below 80 percent
of the Household Adjusted Median Family Income.
The selection of the Renewal Communities will be based on the unemployment rate,
percent living in poverty, and percent of households below 80% of the area median income
I

'T ,..
relative to the other applications. Empowerment Zones and Enterprise Communities will
be given preference for the first 20 RC designations.
The complete application requires the submission of various forms and a Course of Action,
a plan that demonstrates how the state and local government will work with community-
based organizations to reduce burdens and to improve services for Renewal Community
residents and businesses (See Course of Action Summary). The Course of Action requires
the applicant commit to undertaking a minimum of four of six strategies. They are: reduce
tax rates, increase local services, reduce crime, reduce or remove government
requirements, involve community partners, and solicit in-kind donations.
The City is proposing census tracts 1, 3, 5, 10 and 11 for Renewal Community designation.
(See attached map and graph). These census tracts demonstrate high unemployment
rates, high poverty rates and high rates of households having incomes below 80% of the
Household Adjusted Median Family Income. This area has a total population of 10,183
and ability to expand, attract and retain employers to the community who will take
advantage of the RC tax incentives.
Notice of a public meeting was published on Sunday, July 29, 2001 inviting the public to
a meeting, which was held on August 10, 2001 to solicit comments and support. In
addition, a meeting with potential partners was held on August 3,2001 to give the partners
an opportunity to participate in the development of the application.

years, present, or future may be included in the Course of Action.

OVERVIEW:
House Bill 1655, requested by the City of Corpus Christi, was signed in 1999 by Governor Bush.
It authorized a two percent (2%) increase in the City of Corpus Christi's Hotel/Motel Tax for
expansion/renovation and maintenance of the Convention Center. The City Council adopted the
new, higher Hotel/Motel Tax Rate by ordinance to provide the required revenue for this project. The
local business community, including the local hotel/motel industry has actively supported the
increase.
The City of Corpus Christi held an election on Tuesday, November 7,2000, to consider a number
of ballot propositions to fund major capital improvements. Among the approved projects was the
new Multi-Purpose Arena which is being funded through an additional 1/8 cent sales tax.
Current plans are underway for the design of an 8,000 seat capacity arena, which will support
sporting and entertainment events for the Corpus Christi Area. Sporting uses include ice hockey,
basketball, and arena football. Entertainment events will include concerts, family shows and other
specialties. The arena will also supplement the operation of the Convention Center by providing
space, congress seating, and meeting facilities. The proposed arena will be linked to the
Convention Center to enable access between the two facilities
A site for the arena has been selected which is located south of the existing Convention Center.
The site is bounded by Shoreline Boulevard on the east, Resaca Street to the south, Water Street
on the west, and Hughes Street to the north. A map showing the location of the site is attached
as Exhibit B. The site contains 96,000 square feet and encompasses an entire city block.
Land Acquisition staff has negotiated with the owner, TRT Development Company, for the
purchase price of $4,080,000. The City has agreed to pay a cash price of $3,300,000 and accept
a charitable donation of $780,000. A commercial earnest money contract has been prepared
between the parties and is submitted to the City for its execution. A total amount of $3,319,084 is
needed for purChase of this property, which includes $19,084 for closing costs. An amount of
$250,000 in earnest money is required to be tendered along with the contract. San Jacinto Tille
Company will be the escrow agent for this transaction. This escrow amount will be funded from
the #1130 Arena Fund with the balance being funded from the sale of certificates of obligation and
a H.U.D. Grant.

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 24,2001
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution pledging active participation in and support for the mission
and activities of the South Texas Military Facilities Task Force.
ISSUE: The Secretary of Defense has started the procedure to provide a single round of
base closures and realignments in 2003. Over 25% of the capacity in bases are proposed
to be closed. The South Texas Military Facilities Task Force has been the area's principal
responding vehicle to previous closure activities. The organization must continue in order
to preserve our region's military presence. The City's financial share would be $50,000 a
year.
In order to participate in the South Texas Military Facilities Task Force and to provide
financial assistance, the City Council must approve.
RECOMMENDATION: The South Texas Military Facilities Task Force has been very
effective in not only maintaining our facilities, but actually increasing their mission. Cities,
counties, and other governmental entities across the U. S. are in the process of gearing
up for the next round of base closures. It is imperative that we in the Corpus Christi area
do the same. Staff recommends participation in and financial assistance to the South
Texas Military Facilities Task Force.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Attached is a breakdown of the budget for the South Texas Military Facilities Task Force
from September 2001- August 2002. Staff is recommending that the Nueces County share
(approximately $150,000) be broken down into equal parts between the City, the Port and
Nueces County ($50,000 each). We have also attached an article from the Corpus Christi
Caller, Thursday August 23, which graphically illustrates what our region is facing on the
national level.

Communities are backing military facilities
States are spending money, hiring lobbyists to save bases from budget cutters
By LISA HOFFMAN
Scripps Howard News Service
.
Florida and Georgia are
building roads and bridges to
benefit their military instal-
lations. One Louisiana area is
offering to foot the bill for
new G I housing.
California is doling out more
than $400.000 to arm localities
against budget cutters,' and
scores of states and cities are
hiring Washington lobbyists or
enlisting retired brass to make
the case that their military
facilities are too valuable to
lose.
Eyes on r1oslIrl's
In these ways and more,
communities across the coun-
try are constructing political,
financial and infrastructure
battlements against the grow-
ing threat that another round
-"
of base closings is coming.
Although opposition on
Capitol Hill to shuttenng mil-
itary installations remains
fierce, the Pentagon and the
White House have thrown
down the gauntlet this sum-
mer, arguing tllat the armed
services no longer can afford
to keep excess facilities open.
Four rounds of closings, the
most recent in 1995, spelled
doom for about 97 major mili-
tary facilities, but the
Pentagon insists it must slash
at hlast another SO, perhaps as
many as 100, from its remain-
ing 400.
. After SIX years of congres-
sional rebuffs, the Pentagon
now puts odds at better than
SO-SO that lawmakers this
year will bite the bullet and
vote to establish a com mis-
:-;ion 'to select bases for clo-
sure in 2003,
Most base-dependent states
and communities aren't wait-
ing for any yates. They all
knO\v that the easiest choices
for closure were made long
ago, and that those posts that
managed to avoid the earlier
ax now face a far greater
chance of being targeted in
any future round.
Base was spared
One of those that made it
back from the base-closing
brink was Kirtland Air Force
Base, near Albuquerque,
:'-I.M. In 1995, a major portion
of the installation was slated
to be moved elsewhere. But
Kirtland supporters were
able to show that it would
cost taxpayers more to move
6,850 jobs from Kirtland than
it would save. The base,
which is estimated to gener-
ate $2.7 billion a year for the
local economy, was spared.

Mr. David Garcia
City Manager
City of Corpus Christi
P. O. Box 9277
Corpus Christi, TX 78469-9277
Dear Mr. Garcia:
As you have no doubt seen in the media, the Secretary of Defense has
submitted to Congress amendments to the Defense Base Closure and
Realignment Act of 1990 which would provide a single round of closures and
realignments in 2003. He has stated that we have 25% over capacity in bases
and might wish to close in 2003 as many bases as were closed in the last three
rounds of closure combined.
Our South Texas region has over 10.000 defense-related payrolls,
which when combined with private sector service contracts and local
procurement, contribute approximately $700 million to the region's economy
each year. We intend to vigorously defend those activities and seek other
missions which reinforce our current missions. TIrrough a great deal of effort.
our region actually saw an increase in missions and defense-related payrolls
during the '93 and '95 base closure rounds.
While the details of the legislation creating another round of BRAe
will not be finalized until the fall, the consensus from our congressional
delegation is that there will be a major BRAC round in 2003 with analysis of
bases having already begun. The South Texas Military facilities Task Force
(STMFTF), which successfully defended our bases in '93 and '95 met on
August 13,2001, to discuss how we should proceed in this round. It was
agreed that the multi-county regional approach followed in '93 and '95 which
highlights the strengths of all our facilities and missions and how they
together provided maximum value to the military is the best approach. In past
rounds, the STMFTF has adopted a budget and recommended its fimding to
both public and private entities in South Texas. A copy of a budget adopted at
the August 13 meeting is attached. with a suggested fimding breakdown based
on county population.
While it was agreed that this level of funding and activity for two
years is the minimum level required, it was also recognized that additional
..~,.....,...___,.___~. "o__._~__

funding and activity could be needed as events unfold. I will appoint an executive
committee with representation from each county and contributing entity to assist with
such decisions and recommendations. The Corpus Christi Chamber of Commerce
agreed to serve as the financial agent for the effort.
I would suggest that the approximate $150,000 annual contribution suggested
by the population figures for Nueces County be divided equally between the City of
Corpus Christi, Nueces County, and the Port of Corpus Christi Authority, or
approximately $50,000 each.
This is a critical effort to the economy of South Texas and the future of the
region. I thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The proposed Zoning Ordinance text amendments affect Article 3, Definitions, Article
4A, "F-R" Farm-Rural District, Article 4B, "RE" Residential Estate District, Article 4C,
"RA" One-family Dwelling District, Article 5, "R-1A" One-family Dwelling District,
Article 7, Multiple Dwelling District, Article 8, "A-1" Apartment House District, Article 8A,
"A-1A" Apartment House District, Article 9, "A-2" Apartment House District, Article 10,
"AT" Apartment-Tourist District, Article 11, "AB" Professional Office District, Article 12A,
"B-1 A" Neighborhood Business District, Article 15, "B-3" Business District, Article 16,
"B-4" General Business District, and Article 22, Parking Regulations.
Amendments to the definitions include creating a definition for animal hospital, assisted
living facility, bed & breakfast (B&B) home and inn, and commercial vehicle uses.
Amending the definitions for private garage and mini-storage as well as amendments to
the definition for a private garage and mini-storage use. The animal hospital use is not
defined but is listed as a permitted use. The assisted living facility use is a new use that
has made its way into Corpus Christi and needed addressing. A B&B home is defined
as an owner-occupied home offering overnight accommodations limited to five (5)
bedrooms and 10 people. A B&B inn is defined as a facility offering overnight
accommodations limited to 12 bedrooms and 24 people.
Bed and breakfast (B&B) facilities are currently operating within the City with limited
regulations. B&Bs are currently permitted in single-family residential areas as long as
they do not exceed a total of four (4) boarders. The proposed amendment as
recommended by the Planning Commission would permit B&B homes in residential
areas subject to review by the Zoning Board of Adjustment. Review by the Zoning
Board of Adjustment would allow input from adjoining residences before a B&B home
could locate in the area. Existing B&B homes that comply with all existing city
regulations would be grandfathered. However, existing facilities proposed to be
expanded would be subject to review by the Zoning Board of Adjustment. A B&B inn
would be permitted in the "A-2" Apartment House District and more intense zoning
districts.
The purpose of the commercial vehicle definition is to strengthen the private garage
definition which is being amended to allow larger garages for larger homes. The Zoning
Board of Adjustment initiated this garage definition. The mini-storage definition is
amended to increase the size of each unit from 300 square feet to 400 square feet in
order to permit enclosed boat storage as part of a mini-storage facility.
The amendment to the "R-2", "A-1", and "A-1A", Districts is to allow an assisted living
facility use as a permitted use. Amendment to the "A-2", "AT", "AB" and "BD" Districts
are to allow assisted living facility and bed and breakfast home uses as permitted uses.

The amendment to the "B-3" and "B-4" Districts is to allow an animal hospital without
outside runs and a mini-storage as permitted uses.
The "B-1 A" District is being amended to permit an assisted living facility and bed and
breakfast inn uses, eliminate the restaurant use, and eliminate the required masonry
wall along the side property line abutting a residential district. In lieu of the masonry
wall, a standard screening fence with a height of not less than six (6) feet will be
required along the side property line with residential adjacency. A 6-foot tall masonry
wall will be required along the rear property line with residential adjacency.
Amendment to Article 22, Parking Regulations, renames the article to Off-Street Parking
Regulations and establishes minimum widths for access drives. Access drives are
vehicular paths that take the vehicles from the drive approach on the public street to the
off-street parking area on private property. Currently, there are no minimum standards.
The amendment to Article 29, Board of Adjustment authorizes the Board to hold public
hearings on petitions for bed and breakfast homes in residential districts. The Board
would be required to address location trash receptacles, location of parking, whether
outside activities would be permitted, separation from another bed and breakfast home,
require a site plan, provide evidence addressing the hotel/motel tax, and allow more
than five (5) bedrooms depending on size of structure or lot and age of structure.
Agenda item C also requires a public hearing. It defines the term kennel, relaxes
current restrictions on kennels located within "1-2" Light Industrial Districts and "1-3"
Heavy Industrial Districts, requires a 100 foot set back from an adjoining
residential zoning district, but eliminates set backs from other zoning districts.
This ordinance, along with agenda items C and D, is part of a package that
addresses issues raised in the settlement agreement Bender vs. City of Corpus Christi.
It recognizes the industrial property is an appropriate location for kennels and
other animal care facilities, especially those with outdoor runs. Due to the fact
that some "1-2" Districts are frequently located next to residential districts, a
setback from an adjoining residential district was established. There is no
required setback from grandfathered residential uses within an "1-2" or "1-3"
District, where residential uses are prohibited.
Agenda items D and E do not require a public hearing, but relate to agenda item B.
These items make related changes to Chapters 6 and 19 of the City Code of
Ordinances. Agenda item D amends the ordinances relating to the issuance and
renewal of kennel permits, relaxes the current limitation on the number of animals that
can be kept within "1-2" and "1-3" Districts, relaxes the setback restrictions on open
pastures larger than 5 acres, clarifies that the distance restrictions from food
establishments apply to existing food establishments, and modifies the grandfathering
provision for existing animal establishments upon annexation. The current ordinance
requires an animal care facility to close if a food establishment opens within 500 feet
(the City's current animal control facility is within 500 feet of a food service
establishment. This amendment would allow the animal care facility to stay in

operation, but would prevent the operation of a new animal care facility within 500 feet
of an existing food service establishment. Agenda item E creates a reciprocal
restriction that would prevent a new food establishment opening within 500 feet of an
existing animal care facility.

ZONING TEXT AMENDMENTS
Mr. Saldana provided an overview of the Zoning Text Amendments. He said that several definitions have
been added or amended. The bed and breaklast use is a new defmition. Currently. the bed and breakfasts use is
being used as an extension of the family use as roomers or boarders unrelated to the head of household.
Interpretation of the "family" definition allows operation of a bed and breakfast in a residential neighborhood
provided the homeowner does not exceed four (4) boarders. The proposed amendment establishes separate
defmitions for a bed and breakfast home allowed in residential and low-intensity districts and a bed and breakfast
inn that would be allowed in higher intensity uses such as "A-2" Apartment-House and commercial districts.
Mr. Saldana explained that beginning \virh the .'A-2" District to the more intense districts. boarding houses are
allowed. Therefore a bed and breakfast in an nA_2"' or higher zoning district are allowed more as a liberty bed and
breakfast inn than would be allowed for a bed and breakfast homes located in lower intensity districts.
Bed and Breakfast
Mr. Saldana reviewed the bed and breakfast home use. The home would need to be owner-occupied and
limited to five (5) bedrooms available for rent. in addition to a bedroom for the owner. Restaurants, banquet
facilities, and other similar uses that would impact the surrounding residential areas are prohibited. Bed and
breaklast homes would be pennined in any zoning c1assilication from "F-R" Fann-Rural to "R-2" Multi-family
Dwelling District and low-intensity apartment districts. Off-street parking would not be pennitted within the front
yard and would have to be behind the area, There are allowances to permit on-street parking provided that it is
limited to the boundaries of the bed and breakfast home property. Traffic Engineering would need to approve the
parking and verify that the parking would not impede traffic flow. Another requirement would be a minimum 300
feet side separation and a minimum of 150 feet front and rear separation from each bed and breakfast home.
Mr. Saldana reviewed the bed and breakfast inn use. The inn is limited to 12 bedrooms. Currently, the
"A-2" District pennits boarding houses limited to 20 boarders. Staff discussed limiting the inn to 20 rooms, but
using the basis of a boarding house definition. the occupancy of the inn would exceed 20 boarders. All bed and
breakfasts are required to comply with the hoteVmotel tax per State law. Mr. Saldaila responded to Commissioner
Sween-McGloin's concern by saying that the amendment states that the facility may not have more than 12
bedrooms and not exceed 20 boarders. Commissioner Sween-McGloin suggested limiting the number of boarders to
24.
Mr. Gunning responded to Commissioner Sween-McGloin's concern by saying that in order to prove the
bed and breakfast use to the Building Division for a Certificate of Occupancy. the owner needed to prove payment
of hoteVmotel taxes.
Commissioner Mims expressed concern with not being able to create a bed and breakfast district. She said
that it is better to create a bed and breakfast district than to amend ordinances at a later date. Mr. Saldana agreed
that bed and breakfasts uses could be located within a certain area. He explained that the transition to a bed and
breakfast use will impact existing residences if several homeowners decided to operate a bed and breakfast. He
suggested that a Planned Unit Development (PUD) be created in established bed and breakfast use areas at a later
date, Mr. Saldana said that staff wanted to protect the integrity of single-family residences.
Mr. Gunning said that it was suggested that as a prerequisite to establishing the bed and breakfast use a
public hearing be required before the Zoning Board of Adjustment in order to give the affected neighborhood
residents an opportunity to be heard. He said that Staff suggested requiring the bed and breakfast home use to be
reviewed by the Zoning Board of Adjustment and allow the bed and breakfast inn to be allowed by right in
designated zoning districts. Commissioner Mims requested that districts allowing bed and breakfast home uses by
right need to be listed and identified in the ordinance.

Commissioner Salazar said that he preferred to have the bed and breakfast home use be reviewed by the
Zoning Board of Adjustments for expediency and not be required to be presented City CounciL
Commissioner Sween-McGloin requested that the bed and breakfast home be limited to five (5) rooms and
limit the number of people to ten. Mr. Gunning explained the defmition of a "family" and allowance of 4 unrelated
boarders. In allowing a bed and breakfast in a single-family district. typically. bed and breakfasts set up four rooms,
presumably one room for each boarder. He added that patrons of a bed and breakfast use are generally couples.
Therefore, staff decided to limit the number of rooms to five (5) which would accommodate 10 people, but there is
no limitation regarding the number of persons to a room.

Claude D' Unger, 201 Del Mar. said that he reviewed the bed and breakfast home. He suggested that a
boarder is a person for a period of time and not a transient. Bed and breakfast is a transitory business. Mr. D'
Unger said that the bed and breakfast would advertise and the use would impact the neighborhood. He continued
that the rights of the neighborhood should be considered before a bed and breakfast use is placed in the
neighborhood and asked the Commission to direct statfro review bed and breakfast definitions.
Dorothy Spann, representing Del Mar Homeowners Association. said that the neighborhoods do not have
rights regarding the establishment of a bed and breakfast in their neighborhood. She said the streets are narrow and
congested which causes safety hazards. Ms. Spann said that the neighborhood has been seeking funds to install
traffic calming devises. She said that a single-family residential. designated duplexes, and apartments are the
highest productivity of tax valuations and tax dollars. She continued that these designations are also the safest.
Deed restrictions also protect the neighborhood. Ms. Spann provided a history regarding a 1941 ordinance enacted
for the military during an emergency, World War ll. She said that the ordinance required residents to house the
military, and that the ordinance has since lingered and is the source of devaluation of neighborhoods to date.
Ms. Spann said that she believes that the misutilization of the 1941 ordinance is the result of the current problems in
neighborhoods.
Ms. Spann expressed concern regarding traffic safety issues. She said that the Del Mar neighborhood is the
most vulnerable neighborhood because the homes are traditional with large lawns. The proposed amendments
require a 150 feet front and rear setback which would not detract bed and breakfast uses from being adjacent from
each other. Ms. Spann quoted the proposed amendments: '"... that has been determined that this amendment would
best serve the public health. necessity and the convenience of the general welfare of the City of Corpus Christi." She
asked the Commission to allow the Del Mar neighborhood the opportunity to review the amendments with Staff.
Dr. Stan Schumaker, 3275 Ocean Drive, owner of Ocean House, said he has been operating the home as a
bed and breakfast for four and one-half years. He said that he is in compliance with city regulations.
Dr. Schumaker expressed concern with the parking requirement and also asked that the use be allowed to have six
(6) bedrooms.
Shirley Smith, 21 Hewitt, provided an example of traffic problems associated with Ocean House. She said
that there were 30 cars parked in the alley behind her home. The problem prevents her and her neighbors from using
the alley because of the lack of parking provided by Ocean House.
Tracy Smith, 211 North Carrizo, owner of Blucher House Bed and Breakfast Inn. commended Staff and the
Commission on the proposed amendments. Ms. Smith suggested that the requirements not be too strict which would
hinder bed and breakfast operations and make the use undesirable for future businesses. She said that the Austin
zoning ordinance requires 1,000 feet between bed and breakfasts homes. Ms. Smith continued that Austin also
separated bed and breakfast homes and bed and breakfast inns; however. they also have separated the uses by the
age of the homes. She responded to Chairman Berlanga's previous comment and suggested that the city could check
whether hoteVmotel tax is being paid to verify a legitimate bed and breakfast use because 9% of the tax is paid to the
city.
Public hearing was closed.
Commission discussed concerns expressed by residents. It was suggested that party, rental facilities,
parking issues, and allowing the Zoning Board of Adjustment review the case as a public hearing be addressed in the
amendments. Commissioner Sween-McGloin requested that the Zoning Board of Adjustment review the bed and
breakfast home use. Vice Chairman Mims asked the Commission and Staff to postpone the vote regarding the bed
and breakfast use to give Staff an opportunity to address concerns expressed by the residents. Public hearing was
postponed to the July 18. 2001 meeting.

Commissioner Sween-McGloin requested information regarding a noise ordinance.
Kennels
Mr. Saldana provided an overview of the proposed dog kennel definition amendment. He said that the
kennel use is a permitted use in the "1-2"' Light Industrial District. A kennel is facility where four (4) or more dogs,
cats, or other animals over three (3) months of age are kept, raised, sold, boarded. bred, shown, treated. groomed,
exclusive of animals used for agricultural uses. Mr. Saldana said that staff is recommending adoption of the
defmition. This use is allowed in "B-3" and "B-4" Business Districts without outside runs. He continued that the
kennels would be allowed in the "1-2" Light Industrial District with outside runs. There is an amendment to the
"1-2" and "1-3" Districts that would require a separation of the kennels and require a setback not less than 100 feet
from a residential district. Mr. Saldana said that the amendment was part of an agreement between the city and a
private party board on a court order decree.
Public hearing was opened.
Tony Bender. 7070 Road C. said that he agreed with "1.2" Light Industrial District zoning for kennels.
Public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Sween-McGloin expressed concern with relating the amendment to residents and business
owners. Residents arc allowed up to five (5) pets, but a kennel is described as four (4) or more pets. Mr. Saldana
said that the amendment addresses businesses and will not affect single-family residences. Mr. GUlming said that a
single-family resident is required to comply with the city code of ordinance which limits the number of animals that
may be kept on a residential lot. He suggested adding language that references payment of services to the kennel
and delete age requirement of three (3) months. Mr. Gunning said that the Legal Department could reconcile the
amendment with other city codes.
Public hearing was opened.
In response to Commissioner Pusley's question, Mr. Bender said the kennels are controlled by the city and
require a city permit from the Animal Control Department.
Public hearing was closed.
Commission requested that the kennels be postponed to the July 18,2001 meeting.
Mr. Saldana highlighted the remainder of proposed definitions and zoning text amendments.
Animal Hospital
He said that the Animal hospital use is currently not defined in the Ordinance, but is listed as a permitted
use in the "B-4" General Business District.
Assisted Living Facilities
The assisted-living facility is a new use that needs addressing. There have been several requests for a
change of zoning for the use and Code Enforcement has classified the use as being similar to an apartment hpteI
which is permitted in an "A-Z" Apartment House District. However, there are several assisted-living facilities that
were permitted in less intense districts than the "A-2" District through the use of Special Permits. An assisted-
living facility is defined as a facility comprised of seven (7) or more individuals. A facility of six (6) persons or less
is regulated by state and does not allow a facility in a single-family resident. According to local assisted-living
facilities operators, approximately fifty (50) percent of the residents normally do not own automobiles. Therefore,
-..,.--

Planning Commission Minutes

Zoning Text Amendments
Page 5
traffic impact from these facilities will be minimal. The density (number of rooms) of an assisted-living facility
would be limited to the density limitation of the district.
Commercial Vehicles
The commercial vehicle definition has been added to clarifY the commercial vehicle referenced in the
defmition of a private garage. Mr. Gunning said that Mr. Norbert Hart. Director of Housing and Community
Development. requested that the definition read as follows: "A vehicle licensed as commercial has a Texas
Depanment of Licensing and Regulations number or has a permanently affLxed business/logo:' Chairman Berlanga
asked about vehicles that use magnetic signs. Mr. Gunning answered that they are not considered commercial
vehicles unless they are licensed as commercial.
Gara2e
The current definition for "Garage, Private"' limits all private garages to 900 square feet and not more than
four (4) motor-driven vehicles. The Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA) has, throughout the years, received
numerous requests to allow private garages in excess of 900 square feet. The ZBA requested that the Zoning
Ordinance be amended to allow larger garages based on the lot size and/or size of the house. After reviewing that
requests approved by ZBA and the new windstorm standards for garages, Staff recommends that the current 900
square foot limitation not change, but to allow increased garage sizes for single-family residences larger than 1,836
square feet. In this case. a garage may not exceed 49 percent of the size of the home. Limiting the garage size based
on the house size instead of the lot size would ensure that the garage would remain as an accessory to the house.
Mr. Saldana said that calculations for the garage are made for the garage based on exclusion of work area, storage
area, bathrooms, and living areas.
Mini-Storaee
The enclosed mini-storage use is being amended to increase the size of the individual unit. The increase
from 300 square feet to 400 square feet will allow operators of mini-storage facilities to store boats. The current 300
square foot limitation is not large enough to store boats. The Planning Commission has recommended and City
Council has approved several Special Permits for larger units to accommodate boats. This amendment will
eliminate the uncenainty of whether the boat storage would be permitted and allows the developer to plan boat
storage units at the outset. Mr. Saldana said that the height limitation proposed would be 15 feet.
"A-I A" District
Mr. Saldana explained that there have been several property owners that preferred a "B-IA"' Neighborhood
Business District but because of the restaurant use that is permitted, the request was defeated. He said that a "B-IA"
District without a restaurant use would be more acceptable to surrounding property owners. Therefore, it is
recommended eliminating the restaurant as a permitted use and. A masonry wall is currently required along the
property line that is adjacent to a residential district. It was not Staffs intent to require a masonry wall along the
side property lines. if adjacent to residential zoning. The intent was only along the rear property line and a standard
screening fence along the side property lines. The reason for not requiring a masonry wall along the side property
lines was because there is a higher probability that the adjacent property to the side would rezone to a nonresidential
district and the fence would not be required. If a masonry wall is required, it is unlikely that the wall would be
removed. The end result would be a series of adjoining lots walled in on three (3) sides.
Drivewavs
Mr. Saldana said that the access drive is not addressed in the Zoning Ordinance. He described an access
drive as the driveway that extends from the drive approach at the street to the parking area interior to the lot.
Currently, there are no minimum width requirements for the access drives. The purpose of this amendment is to
require minimum access drive widths, based on whether it is a one-way or two-way drive. After discussion with
Traffic Engineering, Staff is recommending standards: 10-foot driveway for single-family homes, 15 feet for one-

way drives, 20 feet if one-way drive and designated as an emergency access driveway, and 24 feet for two-way
access drives.
Commissioner Sween-McGloin asked whether Staff has decided that a "B-IA" District is not appropriate
for a mixed use. Mr. Saldaila said that the "B-IA" District is useful for mixed use. but the restaurant use needed to
be excluded. He explained that the neighborhoods adjacent to property being considered for "B-IA" District zoning
were not opposed to retail use, but were opposed to the restaurant use.
Commissioner Sween-McGloin expressed concern with the allowable size of garages as proposed in the
amendments. Commission discussed language for calculations for a private garage. It was decided that the language
would be "49% of the gross floor area excluding garages, porches. and patios of the main building".
Motion by Sween-McGloin. seconded by Mims. to approve the Zoning Text Amendments regarding access
drives, animal hospitals, assisted living facilities. commercial vehicles. private garages as amended, enclosed
mini-storages and "B-IA" Neighborhood Business District as amended. Motion passed with Amsler, Cheek. and
Richter being absent.

July 18,2001
ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENTS
Mr. Saldana said that there was concern regarding the bed and breakfast use as ptoposed by Staff
to permit a bed and breakfast home in a residential area by right and without knowledge to the adjoining
residential uses. He said that Planning Commission wanted to provide some type of public input as to the
locations of these bed and breakfast homes. An ordinance was created which gives the Zoning Board of
Adjustment (ZBA) the authority through a special use exception, to allow or not allow a bed and breakfast
home in a certain area and allows for public input. The ordinance also provides some guidance as to the
issues that should be addressed, mayor may not allow outdoor activities, limit the hours of the outdoor
activities, require separation between bed and breakfast homes, require a site plan and required evidence of
addressing the hotel/motel tax. Staffs opmion is that some allowance of bed and breakfast homes in
residential areas without the required hearing and certain limitations would address a tourist need. With the
proposed public hearing, it is possible that a bed and breakfast home would not be permitted in an area
ideal for bed and breakfast due to the neighborhood opposition.
In response to Commissioner Sween-McGloin, Mr. Saldana said that bed and breakfasts would be
permitted in an apartment district while a motel is not. He said that a motel is not limited to the number of
patrons permitted; however, a bed and breakfast home is limited to 12. Mr. Saldana addressed the party
facility use by saying that party facilities are not allowed in a "R-1B" District, but base zoning allows other
uses such as catering. He continued that if the bed and breakfast home is in compliance with the current
zoning, the use will be grandfathered and will not have to go before the Zoning Board of Adjustment
(ZBA). If the bed and breakfast home exceeds four (4) boarders, they will have to go before the ZBA to
increase the number of boarders allowed.
Commissioner Sween-McGloin requested that the bed and breakfast home be limited to 10 people
and the bed and breakfast inn be limited to 24 people.
Mr. Saldana provided an overview of changes made to the ordinance pertammg to kennels.
Commissioner Sween-McGloin requested the addition of "any of the following" and deleting "or both" .
Commissioner Richter said that the language in the ordinance is too restrictive for bed and
breakfast homes and asked about dumpsters. Mr. Saldana responded that dumpsters are not required in the
ordinance. If there is a dumpster, the location needs to be known.
Motion by Sween-McGloin, seconded by Mirns, to forward the Zoning Text Amendments as
amended to City CounciL Motion passed with Richter voting "Nay".
Commissioner Richter said that she did not support the text amendments because she believes that
the bed and breakfast amendments do not convey the ideas that the bed and breakfasts are supported in the
city.

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 24,2001
AGENDA ITEM: Motion approving an agreement between the City of Corpus Christi and the
Corpus Christi Industrial Development Corporation (CCIDC) for the City to fund $450,000 from
the Community Development Block Grant Program to the CCIDC to purchase land described as
94.881 acres more or less out of a 197.17 acre tract being Tract G, as shown on Cliff Maus
Tracts C, D, E. F. and G of a subdivision of 248.566 acre tract out of portions of the L M.
Hitchcock 96.24 acre tract, Lots 9, 10, 15 and 16, Section F, Lot 2, Section E, Paisley's
Subdivision of The Hoffman Tract, the Vineyard Tract and Lot 18, J. C. Russell Farm Lots,
Corpus Christi, Nueces County, Texas from the Commissioner of Texas General Land Office on
behalf of the Permanent School Fund and the Texas Department of Mental Health and Mental
Retardation and for the CCIDC to hold the land for the benefit of the City of Corpus Christi and a
future Texas Parks and Wildlife Grant.
ISSUE: The City Council approved funds in the 1999-2000 and 2000-2001 CDBG Programs in
the total amount of $450,000 for the acquisition and development of approximately 95 acres of
surplus State School property. Since 1999, City staff, Council Members, and a number of local
organizations have discussed this issue on many occasions with State officials in the process of
negotiating for the land. A proposed agreement has now been reached which has been passed
by the Texas Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation (MHMR) Board to sell the
land to the City restricted to the use as park land for an amount not to exceed $450,000.
Since it has always been staffs intention to hold the land as a local match for a Texas Parks
and Wildlife Grant, our negotiations with Texas MHMR have produced an agreement for the
State to sell the land to the CCIDC to hold for the City to be used as a match for a future Texas
Parks and Wildlife match. In order for the CCIDC to purchase the land, the City must provide
financing for the purchase. Therefore, it is necessary to execute an agreement between the
City and the CCIDC to fund the CCIDC for the acquisition and directing the CCIDC to hold the
property for the benefit of the City and the proposed subsequent Texas Parks & Wildlife Grant
application.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: In order to undertake such a contract with the CCIDC, City
Council approval is required.
IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE: After fulfilling the necessary terms and conditions of the
sales contract, closing on the property would be in March, 2002 with a Texas Parks and Wildlife
application approximately late summer of 2002.
RECOMMENDATION: After very long and somewhat tedious negotiations, appraisals, and
renegotiations with the State, with tremendous assistance form numerous local groups, and the
City Council, we have now reached a point of acquiring the property for this long sought after
wests ide proposed recreation complex. We strongly solicit Council approval.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
In 1964, the City of Corpus Christi deeded to the State of Texas a portion of the old Cliff Maus
Airport containing several hundred acres expressly for the purpose of constructing the Corpus
Christi State School. In 1967, the school went under construction and was completed.
However, the project did not utilize all of the land. A little over 100 acres was left vacant at the
south end of the property bordered by both Horne and Greenwood Roads. In 1968,
approximately 50 acres was leased back to the City adjacent to Horne and Greenwood Roads
for recreational purposes, but on a 45-day cancellation lease.
Over the years, Little League, Pony League, and softball teams have played on this property,
but still remain subject to cancellation at any time. Unfortunately, because of the short-term
cancellation period, COBG funds, per Federal regulations, cannot be used to support these
facilities. As organizations principally located in the center of the City have continued to look for
space for additional recreational activities, especially soccer, a number of groups came together
with City Council Members, and staff to attempt to acquire approximately 100 acres of the
surplus State School property. In the 1999-2000 COBG Program and subsequently, in 2000-
2001, a total of $450,000 was earmarked for the acquisition and development of the property.
Since early 1999, City staff together with Council Members and numerous community
organizations have met and negotiated with representatives of Texas MHMR and Texas
General Land Office (the General Land Office serves as the land agent for a number of State
agencies including Texas MHMR). The major issue has focused on State law, which mandates
that property sold must be sold at fair market value. The negotiations have resulted in the State
agreeing to have the property appraised and an initial appraisal was completed on November
14, 2000, which gave the market value at $1,030,000. After continued negotiation, the City
subsequently obtained an independent appraisal on April 10, 2001 at $500,000. The State
SUbsequently sent out for a new appraisal with a local appraiser and came in on May 26, 2001
at $968,000.
After numerous meetings and discussions, State staff together with City staff, arrived at a
compromise solution, which is being presented in this memorandum. The various parties have
agreed that subject to approval by the Texas MHMR Board and the City Council, the property
would be sold to the City for $450,000 subject to a new appraisal which the Land Office would
obtain. This new appraisal would be predicated on taking into account the restrictions in the
original MHMR deed as well as the fact that the current sale would restrict the property to public
recreation purposes. Both local and State staffs feel that given these instructions to the
appraiser, the appraisal will come in at $450,000 or less. Under the terms of the contract of
sale, if the appraisal comes in, in excess of $450,000, the City is under no obligation to
purchase the property and the contract is void. Should it come at less, the State would have the
option to void the contract or to go forward with the sale.
The appraisal process should be completed within approximately 45 days.
Since it has always been the intent to utilize the acquisition as the local share of a Texas Parks
& Wildlife Grant, we are proposing that the actual acquisition be accomplished by the CCIOC
with financing provided by the City. The CCIOC would hold the property until the City is in a
position to acquire a Texas Parks & Wildlife Grant (approximately 12 months). Within the next
30 days, we will be bringing to the City Council a contract (funded by CDBG) to prepare a
comprehensive Park and Recreation Master Plan. This proposed master plan must be
completed in order for the City to be eligible for a Texas Parks & Wildlife Grant. We estimate
that the master plan process would take 8-9 months.
During the sometimes tedious and always very technical negotiations on this property, a large
number of City staff and community organizations have played major roles. The staffs of both
the Texas General Land Office and the Texas MHMR have been absolutely tremendous and
both Land Commissioner Dewhurst and the Texas MHMR Board have participated. Council
Members were also instrumental in discussing the acquisition.
We believe that we are now very close to the fruition of this very long sought after major
westside proposed recreation complex. The area itself, could not be better suited in that it is a
large area (approximately 95 acres) located near the Boys & Girls Club as well as to City
facilities including the Greenwood Library, Health Department and Hector P. Garcia Park.
Some of the most major bus routes of the City are adjacent to the property and upon completion
of the complex, the proposed recreation complex should be one of the major focal points in the
City of Corpus Christi for outdoor recreation activities. I have enclosed a proposed sales
contact with the State together with a map of the property. Please note that the actual outline of
the property will be determined by an on-site staking and subsequent survey.
