Council Member Kiunison, Mr. Kevin Stowers, Assistant Director of Engineering Services, said
staffwas very concerned about the cost at the time this project was bid. Consequently, the canopy
extension was deleted from the original project and it has since been reinstated. He added that it will
be compatible with the terminal's design. Council members requested a photograph of the canopy.

Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 15, consideration of an appeal by Melvia Louise
Barrett of a Building Standards Board decision to require demolition of the structure located at 1618
Stillman Street. Mr. John Kendall, Zoning/Code Enforcement Administrator, said that one of the
department's goals is to eliminate substandard structures throughout the city. He said staff members
contact the property owner to inform him or her what repairs have to be made to bring the structure
into compliance. He explained that a property advisor conducts a survey of the structure and if the
percentage of deterioration exceeds 50%, either extensive repairs may be required or the structure
may have to be demolished.
Mr. Kendall said that if the repairs are not made within the allotted time, staff brings the case
to the Building Standards Board (BSB), which meets quarterly. During that public heating, the
property owner states his case and the board members role on whether to comply with the owner's
request to make repairs within 120 days or proceed with demolition within 60 days. Mr. Kendall then
showed photographs of the Stillman Street structures (a house and detached garage), which are 62%
deteriorated.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
July 9, 2002 - Page 6
First Assistant City Attomey Jay Reining discussed the Council's options, saying they could
deny Mrs. Barrett's appeal, in which case the BSB order to demolish the structures would be
executed, or they can sustain the appeal and set whatever conditions they wish.
Mrs. Melvia Barrett, 1719 Kriswood Dr., Houston, said her family lived at 1618 Stillman St.
in Corpus Christi from 1960 until 1994. She said they moved to Houston after the third explosion
at the refinery near her home. She said they are participants in a class-action suit against the refinery
and are hoping to be compensated for damage that occurred from the explosions, but that case is
ongoing. She said this is the first time they have come back to Corpus Christi for many years due to
family hardships. She said there are elements of the house that she thinks can be salvaged. Mrs.
Barrett said it would cost her about $4,000 to demolish the house and she believes that repairing the
roof, for instance, will cost less than that. She said if the repairs can be made, they would like to rent
the house to family members.
Upon confirmation by Mrs. Barrett, Mayor Neal pointed out that the Barretts basically
abandoned the house when they left in 1994. Further discussion ensued about the current condition
of the structures.
Council Member Chesney said that on May 21, 2002, the city received a letter fi.om Mr. and
Mm. Barrett in which they indicated that they would not be able to attend the BSB hearing scheduled
for May 23, 2002 due to work and family commitments. The Barretts also asked that the BSB not
take any action to demolish the structures in question. Mr. Chesney asked why the Barretts were not
given additional time. Mr. Kendall replied that the Barrett's letter was given to the Building
Standards Board and they opted to go ahead and hear the case. City Manager Garcia said staff did
not make a recommendation. Mr. Chesney said he did not think the Barretts had any choice except
to appeal the BSB's ruling since they could not attend the heating in person.
Responding to Council Member Noyola, Mrs. Barrett described the situation regarding the
class-action law suit. Mr. Noyola asked if Mrs. Barrett had been previously informed about the
deteriorating conditions of the structures. Mr. Mike Hemandez, a property advisor for the city, said
that city staff had sent letters to the Barretts informing them of the substandard condition of the
property and the need to secure the structures. He added that city staff also mowed the property at
different times and billed the Barretts for those expenses.
Mrs. Barrett explained that they had been paying a caretaker to maintain the property but he
had not been doing so. After further discussion, she said she would like to have at least 60 days to
begin making repairs to the structures.
Council Member Longoria said city staffhas been working on this case for nine months and
the Barretts have been kept apprised of the situation. He noted that the complaints about the property
came from the neighbors and the city is trying to respond to their concerns.
A citizen said her parents built a house at 1702 Palm Drive 70 years ago and her family has
lived in it since then. She said a refinery is located across Palm Drive and no one is telling the
residents what will happen to their homes.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
July 9, 2002 - Page 7
In response to Mayor Neal, Mr. Garcia reiterated that staff is recommending demolition of
the structures at 1618 Stillman Street and the Council can uphold the BSB's decision or overturn it
and set conditions on it. He added that any construction on the structures would have to be brought
up to the building code standards.
Council Member Colmenero asked if the Ban'eRs would have to pay for the demolition if the
Council upholds it. Mr. Kendall said the Barretts can opt to participate in Operation Clean Sweep,
in which the structures would be demolished at no charge to them if they agree in writing. Mrs.
Barrett said their initial concern was their cost to demolish the structures and, if possible, they would
like to participate in Operation Clean Sweep.
Mayor Neal made the following motion, which was seconded by Mr. Chesney. City Secretary
Chapa polled the Council for their votes:
15. M2002-196
Motion to uphold the decision of the Building Standards Board regarding the appeal by
Melvia Louise Barrett and the demolition of the structure located at 1618 Stillman Street.
The foregoing motion passed by the following vote: Neal, Chesney, Colmenero, Garrett,
Kinnison, Longoria, Noyola, and Scott voting "Aye"; Kelly absent.
Mayor Neal deviated from the agenda and opened discussion on Item 18, a briefing on the
recommendations of the Marina Operations and Development Ad Hoc Committee. Mr. Scott Elliff
of Capstone Solutions, who facilitated the four meetings, said the committee's charge was to create
a list of recommendations for city staffto use in negotiating the memorandum of understanding with
Landry's Restaurants Inc. for the operation and development of the marina.
Mr. Elliff described the process the committee followed. He said they established ground
rules to work toward identifying reconamendations the entire committee could support in a spirit of
consensus, which was a challenge with such a diverse group. He said the group identified 23 major
issues which they further refined and from which they made 49 recommendations. Mr. Elliff said
some committee members asked that the final report clearly state that the recommendations should
not be construed as consensus support of the proposal itself, since some members did not support
the Land~y's proposal to begin with. He said some members also indicated their desire to continue
to provide feedback, while others understood their task to be completed with the formulation of the
recommendations.
Mr. Elliffthen reviewed the committee's recommendations under the following categories:
tax abatements, rebates and concessions; local participation in construction; parking; transportation;
connectivity to other developments; support facilities; amusements; dredging; tenant dispute
resolution; slip fees; fair market value; marina improvements; access during construction; proposed
commercial development; maintenance; marina atmosphere; city financing; access for persons with

disabilities; ancillary services; control and access; construction schedule; security; and preservation
of current uses.
Mayor Neal stated that the committee's recommendations will be considered during the
negotiations and he noted that an agreement would have to be reached by both the city and Landry's.
He said the Council has asked city staffto keep them informed about the progress of the negotiations
and he thanked Mr. Elliff for facilitating the committee meetings.
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 20, ordering a special election on November 5, 2002.
Deputy City Manager Noe explained that Item 20.a. pertains to the 1/8th cent sales tax for economic
development and the reauthorization of the Crime Control and Prevention District and Item 20.b.
regards the potential for "housekeeping" amendments to the City Charter.
Mr. Noe said the proposed ordinance for the 1/8th cent economic development sales tax item
tracks the Council's direction to staff on June 25, 2002. He said it provides for moving forward
under Section 4A of Vemon's Texas Civil Statutes which contains a term limit for the tax (in this
case 15 years). He said it would contain two ballot items: Proposition No. 1 is for the base amount
for job development purposes (education/skills development; business development and incubation;
and job creation) and Proposition No. iA is for a baseball stadium as a use under the tax.
With regard to the baseball stadium itself, Mr. Noe said it would only be authorized if
Proposition No. 1 passes. And while the site is not specified in the ballot proposition, it is in the
ordinance. The general area is defined as the arena/convention center/port site and the ordinance
requires a contract with a minor league team which has a major league affiliation. He stated that
Proposition No. 2 is the renewal of the Crime Control District for five years.
Mr. Reid Ryan said he represents RSR Sports, which is the managing entity of the Round
Rock Express, the Houston Astros AA team located north of Austin. He said they were presenting
some conceptual drawings of a proposal to bring professional baseball to Corpus Christi and he
introduced Reece Ryan, Mike Thiesen (a Chicago consultant) and Don Williams (HKS Architects).
Mr. Ryan said they feel the northside of the city is the right location for a minor league
ballpark that can help develop that area into an entertainment district. He said the park can benefit
from the synergy created by the new arena, expanded convention center, U.S.S. Lexington Museum
on the Bay, RTA water taxi, Solomon Ortiz Center at the port, and the Texas State Aquarium. He
said they are proposing to have over 5,000 parking spaces in a six-block area.
Mr. Ryan then referred to the conceptual designs for the 6,000-seat ballpark, which would
have about 16 suites and a 360-degree concourse that encompasses interactive areas representative
of Corpus Christi. He said they plan to incorporate some of the existing structures, such as cotton
presses and warehouses. Mr. Williams described design elements of the proposed ballpark as well
as parking, retail uses, and the extension of Tancahua Avenue.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
July 9, 2002 - Page 9
Mr. Ryan noted that they are taking into consideration the potential rebuilding or extension
of Harbor Bridge in that area to accommodate cruise ships in the future. He also discussed the
inclusiveness of the ballpark, saying they visited with several groups to get their opinions about what
the stadium should look like and what benefits should be derived from it. He said they are asking the
Council to place the baseball stadium item on the November 5th ballot.
Responding to Council Member Colmenero, Mr. Ryan said the stadium is intended to be a
destination location which will help to drive up the city's sales tax revenues. Mr. Ron Kitchens,
President and CEO of the Corpus Christi Regional Economic Development Corporation (EDC),
discussed the economic impact of the minor league portion of the baseball stadium. He noted that
his figures do not include any collegiate, high school, and "fantasy" baseball events. He said 300
employees will be directly involved with the ball club for a total of 1,488 new direct and indirect
jobs. In addition, approximately 150,000 new visitors will come to Corpus Christi annually because
of their awareness of the city as a tourist market. He commented that the stadium has the potential
to generate $26 million in new revenue over a 10-year period. Mr. Kitchens also discussed the
benefit of locating the stadium on the water.
In reply to Council Member Scott, Mr. Thiesen said his job is to advise municipalities on
the development of minor league baseball stadiums, arenas, headquarter hotels, and convention
centers ($15 million -$75 million range). He said he knows of at least eight minor league ballparks
that have been built on waterways. He said the city has already made major investments in the
proposed area of the stadium and the trend is to cluster public facilities together.
Council Member Noyola asked Mr. Ryan if they considered another site for the stadium. Mr.
Ryan replied that they looked around the city and talked about different areas but they feel the
northside site is the best location for several reasons, which he had previously discussed. Responding
to other questions fi.om Mr. Noyola, Mr. David Engle of Forward Corpus Christi said the purpose
of a poll that organization conducted was to determine the community's support for baseball in
Corpus Christi without designating a specific location.
Mr. Mike Bertuzzi, Chairman of the Corpus Christi Chamber of Commerce, said the poll
indicated that there is a consensus of support for baseball in the city and when Nolan Ryan's name
is included, the support increases even more. Mr. Bermz~ said the stadium would be a public-private
partnership and the private entities want to build the stadium near the port because it is the most
economically feasible location for them.
Mr. Noyola expressed concern that locating the stadium on the northside will cause it to be
defeated by the voters. He said they should have a choice on the park's location. Mr. Ryan replied
that the people who will be operating the minor league ballclub have to make sure it will be as viable
as possible on every level. He described the importance of not only providing entertainment for
Corpus Christi residents but also capturing tourist dollars.
Council Member Chesney said he disagrees with Mr. Noyola's assessment, saying the
stadium will benefit the northside area, which deserves to have a profitable project and the economic
development that will follow. He also expressed confidence in the Ryans' abilities.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
July 9, 2002 - Page 10
Responding to other Council members' questions and comments, Mr. Ryan said that a AA
minor league baseball team costs approximately $7 million and a AAA team costs about $11 million
to $12 million, which does not include costs for the team's facilities and ticketing and concession
systems. Mr. Kinnison said that in light of the Ryans' proposed investment, they are the ones taking
the financial risk and the location of the stadium is a key element. He said the real issue is whether
or not the voters want major-league affiliated baseball in Corpus Christi. Council Member Garrett
urged the city to come together to support this project. Mayor Neal called for public comment.
Mr. Ruben Bonilla, Chairman of the Port of Corpus Christi Authority, said the port board
unanimously (with one abstention) approved a resolution supporting the development of a baseball
stadium along the waterfront to be known as "The Ballpark at the Inner Harbor." He said they
directed port staff to commence negotiations with city staff on that issue, which the port board has
been discussing for several months. He said they feel it will bring the whole city together. He noted
that about five years ago the port began diversifying and the result is a conference and cruise terminal
developed from abandoned cotton warehouses, which will serve as a catalyst for other development.
Mr. Bonilla noted that there will be several routes leading to and from the stadium, including Port
Avenue, which is the lifeline of the westside.
Mr. Abel Alonzo, 1701 Thames, said he used to be a member of Forward Corpus Christi until
the last week or two, when he said he became appalled by the behavior of some members as he was
expressing his opinion about the ballot issues and the stance of Mr. Danny Noyola. Mr. Alonzo said
many people are tired of never receiving any benefits and he criticized the process that has occurred
regarding this issue.
Pastor Troy Bell Sr., Pastor of St. Paul United Methodist Church, asked those from the
northside area to stand and be recognized. He said they wholeheartedly support the building of the
stadium in the northside and the increase of the sales tax. He urged the city to concentrate their
efforts on the depressed northside and he expressed confidence that the sales tax will be approved.
Mr. Alan Wilson, 4710 Canaan Place, said he supports the stadium as proposed because of
its economic development possibilities and the quality of life that will result. He described his avid
love of baseball and discussed how other ballparks have benefitted their communities.
Ms. Gail Hoffman, of Associated General Contractors and Forward Corpus Christi,
encouraged the Council's support of the economic development sales tax. She said they need to
continue to unify the community in this effort by incorporating the northside.
Msgr. Patrick Higgins, Pastor of Holy Cross Catholic Church, said he has been on the
northside 10 years and they are concerned about being shortchanged. He said the Ryans should be
commended and the stadium should be supported at the northside location.
Mr. Sam Beecrot~ said that in 2000 the Council put together a modest bond proposal because
they needed a program that the voters could support. He said it was not easy because several previous
programs had been defeated but they worked hard to make it successful. He said if the community
is not unified on this issue, it will make future bond elections that much more difficult.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
July 9, 2002 - Page 11
Mr. David Berlanga said they need to continue the positive steps that Corpus Christi has
taken and he urged the community to get behind this project, which will greatly benefit the northside
and the whole city.
Mr. Waunell Madison, an officer at St. Paul United Methodist Church, said that the Ryans
are trying to do something significant in the community and he commented on the relocation of
Harbor Bridge.
Mr. Roland Barrem, Hispanic Contractors Association of South Texas Inc., said they believe
the city has not taken the responsibility of cultivating small businesses in the Coastal Bend. He said
they support the idea of a baseball stadium, which will provide opportunities for development on the
northside. He added that the city should consider small and minority businesses in the construction
of a new stadium.
Mr. Manuel Ugues, Coastal Bend Minority Business Council, urged the Council to take
advantage of the economic development opportunities, including business development programs
and Workforce Development. He said his organization will support the sales tax issues.
Mr. Lonnie Laningham, 4713 Alma, said he previously was opposed to locating the baseball
stadium on the northside but now he supports it. He stressed the importance of adequate parking and
ingress and egress downtown and in adjacent areas. However, he said he is opposed to the 1/8th cent
sales tax increase because he feels the private sector should fund the stadium project.
Mr. Bill Martin, 6613 Mounta'm Wood, said he is concerned about locating the stadium next
to the port because of security issues. He said there are many ways the community can work together
for economic benefits. He said the Ryans' proposal failed twice in Austin so they had to locate it in
Round Rock. Mr. Martin said that affordable housing is an important issue.
Ms. Stephanie Guerrero, 6022 Sweet Gum, said it is important to think about people in her
age bracket who are leaving Corpus Christi because of a lack of good-paying jobs. She said that
without incomes, they will not be able to attend baseball games. She said she is leery of the Forward
Corpus Christi plan. Council Member Scott said the ordinance specifies the programs that can be
funded with the sales tax.
Mr. Andy Rodriguez, 3401 S. Alameda, discussed what he said were tmsanitary conditions
in northside and westside neighborhoods. He said toxic bacteria grows when health laws are not
complied with.
Mr. Ben Ramos expressed concern about the way the 4A Board was elected, saying there is
no representation from the northside and westside. He said people in those neighborhoods need jobs
and he commented on the proposed northside site of the stadium. He said he supports Forward ALL
Corpus Christi.
Mr. Jeff Frahm, President of the Padre Island Business Association, said the members
supported the previous election issues endorsed by Forward Corpus Christi because they benefit

everyone. He said the baseball stadium will have economic development effects and he noted that
the downtown area is experiencing a revitalization.
Mr. Jack Gordy, 4118 Bray Dr., said the people should be allowed to decide where the
baseball stadium will be located. He also said that Nolan Ryan does not pay property taxes in Corpus
Christi and he was not elected to represent citizens here. Mr. Scott said the city was told by the
Attorney General's Office that they cannot put choice of location on the ballot.
Ms. Judy Telge, Coastal Bend Housing Coalition, read a resolution passed by that
organization supporting increases in revenue sources for affordable housing.
Mr. Benny Benavides, 2421 Cleo St., said baseball teams have failed in Corpus Christi in the
past. He said there is much division on the westside about this issue. He also said the City Charter
should be changed to give the Council a pay increase.
Mr. Rene Saenz said it appears this community consists of three groups: those who advocate
no growth; those who advocate growth through old economics like tourism; and those who advocate
growth through technology-based companies. He said he wants to see substance behind the proposals
and he supports Forward ALL Corpus Christi.
Ms. Patricia Pefia expressed concern about the amount of money that people will earn with
stadium-related jobs. She said she thinks they should focus on creating better-paying jobs.
Ms. Nancy Vera, President of LULAC Council #~. ~.~.~., said the community has had little time
to prepare for this ballot proposal. She said they endorse placing an alternative proposal on the ballot.
Mr. Mike Chavez, 1614 Mary St., said that members of Forward Corpus Christi do not want
to hear any other opinions. He said he is against being told where the stadium will be located and
he is upset that Forward ALL Corpus Christi was not allowed to give their presentation.
Mr. Jim Young, 3535 Santa Fe, said he hopes all these dilemmas are solvable. He said the
community's future will not lie with military facilities, cotton and grain, or the refineries but rather
with tourism. He added that the bayfront should be manicured because it is the highlight of the city.
Mr. Hector Salinas, 522 Ronson Dr., said he is glad that the Council is concerned about
yotmg people. He said he had never been to a Council meeting before and he appreciates what they
have to go through. He said a baseball stadium will be a great benefit to the city.
Mr. Joe Cole, 4613 Kirkwood, said he does not want the Ryans to think that Corpus Christi
is really divided on this issue. He said the Ryans have researched the project and are willing to spend
millions of dollars to make it a reality. He also would like the South Wharf project to proceed.
Mr. David Cheek, CEO of the Corpus Christi Association of Realtors, said he is proud to be
a Corpus Christi citizen in large part because this Council and the previous Council have been
working to get things moving here again. He urged them to not let this opportunity go by. He said

July 9, 2002 - Page 13
his organization is very much in favor of affordable housing.
Mr. R.F. Hasker, 1813 Wallace, questioned whether an election can be bought and he used
the example of the Packery Channel/tax increment financing district issue during a previous election.
Mr. Moses Estrada said he would like the stadium to be in another location.
Mr. Danny Noyola Jr., 4410 Acushnet, said it is disappointing to see the demonization from
certain individuals through the local media. He said several organizations, such as the LULAC
Council and the Coastal Bend Housing Coalition, are in favor of affordable housing--not just his
father. He said it is in his family's heart to tell people what they believe in.
Mr. Butch Escobedo, 6901 Sir Geraint, said although the EDC has not been successful, when
they speak the Chamber of Commeme, Council and Caller-Times follow suit. He said the people
should be involved in the decision of the baseball stadium site and he urged the Council to support
affordable housing.
Mr. Gene Guernsey, 14230 San Felipe, said a reporter called him about doing a story on
Corpus Christi's successes. He expressed confidence in Ron Kitchens and he discussed how the
IceRays Hockey team has benefitted the city.
Mr. Joe Adame, Chairman of the EDC, said the board is concerned about the city's future.
He said it takes an effort to be involved and informed, and he discussed the importance of clustering
attractions.
Mr. Jimmy Martinez read a letter to the editor about this issue. He said he endorses the
stadium and he urged the Council to add affordable housing to the proposal.
Mr. Rogelio Morales said that choice should not be taken away from the people and
affordable housing will not hurt anyone. He said expansion occurs to the south or downtown area.
Mr. Luis Gutierrez, President of LULAC Council #1, said they recently passed a resolution
endorsing an alternative site for the stadium and an affordable housing initiative.
Mr. David Noyola said he was not speaking on behalf of Forward ALL Corpus Christi or as
a County Commissioner but as an individual taxpayer. He said most of the Council members have
already decided to support Nolan Ryan's proposal. He said Council Member Jesse Noyola asked that
members of Forward ALL Corpus Christi be allowed to make a presentation to the Council and he
was told by City Manager Garcia that only city staff would be doing so. He said the Mayor and the
rest of the Council lied to them. He urged citizens to vote against the ballot propositions.
Mr. Danny Noyola, 4410 Acushnet, said he was glad his brother David said he was not
representing Forward ALL Corpus Christi because he was expressing his personal opinion. He said
his group's proposal has gotten lost in the discussion about the baseball stadium site. He said there
is a tremendous need for affordable housing and he described existing housing and home buyers'

programs. He also discussed other aspects of their proposal, including small business rehabilitation
loans and community technology learning centers. He said they would like a choice about the
stadium site and said that conducting a poll will benefit the Ryans as well. He also commented
favorably about the Ryans' professionalism. He said he wants to communicate with all of them
because they are all people who care about Corpus Christi and they want to promote economic
development. He urged the Council to represent them.
Mayor Neal postponed further discussion on Item 20 in order to hear petitions from the
audience on non-agenda items.
Mr. Jack Gordy said that in the last 12 months the Council has approved over $700,000 for
outside legal counsel even though the city has a Legal Department. He urged the Council to ask for
the Attorney General's opinion regarding the issue of choice on the ballot. He also commented on
political signs at Crosstown and Padre Island Drive and on an illegal meal eaten by a member of the
Housing Authority Board. Mayor Neal said the Council will provide Mr. Gordy with a copy of a
letter from the Assistant Attorney General dated June 21, 2002.
Mr. JeffFrahm, 13501 Royal Fifth Court, said the people elect the Council members to study
the issues, choose a course of action and move forward. He said it is frustrating to watch people
misuse the process that the citizens have formed through their government.
Mr. Joe Cole said that even though the city's reservoirs are full, they should not stop trying
to amend the TNRCC's water release requirements. He also said there had been a lot of name calling
during the meeting and he did not want people to think this was normal business in Corpus Christi.
Mr. Rogelio Morales, 4213 Cambridge, said he is the advisory board president for the Lindale
Recreation Center and he questioned why repairs have not been made there. He also asked when
Home Road will be repaired. Mayor Neal asked Mr. Angel Escobar, Director of Engineering
Services, to meet with Mr. Morales to discuss his concerns.
Mayor Neal continued with discussion on Item 20. Mr. Kiunison said that several members
of the public criticized the city's economic development efforts, yet the city is experiencing its
lowest unemployment ever. And while other Texas cities are experiencing decreases in sales tax
revenues which results in budget deficits, Corpus Christi's sales tax revenues have increased. He said
that Forward Corpus Christi did not make a presentation to the Council and he noted that the Council
members met with the Moody Civic-Minded Students to hear their proposal (now promoted by
Forward ALL Corpus Christi). He said the Council has never said it does not support affordable
housing and he pointed out that the petition being circulated calls for a perpetual sales tax, while the
Council's proposal would end the tax after 15 years. Mr. Kinnison said this issue needs to be about
jobs and he said if the city wants baseball, the stadium needs to be located on the northside because
that is what the Ryans want. He also said they need to remember the Crime Control District renewal.
Mr. Scott requested information about the site preparation costs. He said the "outside world"
is talking about Corpus Christi as one of the elite communities in America but many citizens feel
differently. He also commented about the city's low unemployment rate and the raises for city
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
July 9, 2002 - Page 15
employees. He said he is not worried about a possible terrorist attack at the baseball stadium and he
said if citizens want the Ryans to bring a baseball team here, they need to recognize where the
stadium will be located. He said he believes in Corpus Christi and he is placing his faith in the public
that they will approve these proposals in November.
Mr. Colmenero said this is a pro-youth Council and he noted that the economic development
1/8th cent sales tax is the last increment available (if the Crime Control District is also renewed). He
said this proposal is a combination of different initiatives with purposefully abstract ballot language
to allow for more flexibility. He said they need to send a message of unity.
Mr. Noyola said baseball is a popular sport and he said he cannot convince people to conduct
a poll about alternative stadium locations. He said he will not tell people not to vote for these
proposals but neither will he encourage their support. He said if affordable housing is included on
the ballot, he will promote it. He also commented about the proposed technology center and the need
for better-paying jobs.
Mr. Kinnison said he understood that every economic development item in the Forward ALL
Corpus Christi plan is eligible under the ballot proposal because of the broad language used. He said
it will be up to the 4A Corporation Board and future City Councils how the money will be allocated.
Mr. Kinnison added that it will be the same 4A corporation board.
Mayor Neal said there is a Council policy that the audience shall not berate, embarrass,
accuse, or show any personal disrespect for any member of the staff, Council member or the public
at any Council meetings. He said that Mr. David Noyola called him a liar and he will no longer be
permitted to speak before this Council as long as he is the mayor until Mr. Noyola publicly
apologizes to him and the Council.
The Mayor then made a motion to add as Proposition No. lB that a sum of up to $500,000
be made available annually for affordable housing. City Attorney Bray explained that affordable
housing has to be included under Section 4B of the statute, which has to be separately stated on the
ballot. Mr. Chesney seconded the motion.
Mr. Longoria said that since the Community Development Block Grants have very restrictive
federal guidelines, he does not think home ownership should be promoted as an economic
development tool but rather as a basic necessity of life. He said they cannot lose focus on the job
creation component because without it, there will not be any home ownership. Mr. Bray said the
affordable housing component of Section 4B is for the promotion of affordable housing as defined
by a federal statute, which basically has income restrictions in it.
Mr. Chesney said he has had difficulty with the idea of using this money for affordable
housing. He said a segment of the community which feels it is under-represented seems to have the
need to vote on this issue. He said even though he is not extremely comfortable with the proposal,
he will support what the Council does because he thinks it is the right thing to do. Mr. Scott asked
staff to look at leverage opportunities.

City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes on Mayor Neal's motion to amend
Item 20.a. and it passed as follows: Neal, Chesney, Colmenero, Garrett, Kinnison, Longoria, Noyola,
and Scott voting "Aye"; Kelly absent. Mr. Chapa then polled the Council on Item 20.a. itself:
20.a. FIRST READING ORDINANCE
Ordinance ordering a special election to be held on November 5, 2002, in the City of Corpus
Christi on the question of whether to authorize a corporation governed by Section 4A of
Article 5190.6, Vemon's Texas Civil Statutes to use a sales and use tax of one-eighth of one
percent for projects authorized by said statute; and on the question of whether to continue the
Corpus Christi Crime Control and Prevention District; providing for procedures for holding
such election; providing for notice of election and publication thereof; providing for
establishment of branch early polling places; designating polling place locations; authorizing
a joint election with Nueces County; and enacting provisions incident and relating to the
subject and purpose of this ordinance.
The foregoing ordinance passed on first reading, as amended, as follows: Neal, Chesney,
Colmenero, Garrett, Kiunison, Longoria, Noyola, and Scott voting "Aye"; Kelly absent.
Mayor Neal called for a brief recess. Upon reconvening, he referred to Item 20.b., possible
housekeeping Charter amendments, which were listed on pages 209 and 210 in the Council's agenda
packets as follows: initiative and referendum; election dates; runoff elections; clerical corrections;
Mayor's veto; clarify the effect on voting requirement of Council member being disqualified; filling
Mayor's Office in event of resignation or other cause; date of recall election; time for effectuating
lease or franchise; termination of leases; and procurement process.
Mr. Bray and Mr. Chapa then explained the reasons they were proposing those Charter
amendments and they responded to Council members' questions, particularly regarding the proposals
for runoff elections and filling the Mayor's Office in the event of resignation or other cause.
Council Member Noyola said he had requested a proposal to change the Council election to
be held on the November election date in even-numbered years for increased voter turn-out. Mr.
Chapa said the legislature allows it but staff would have to develop a way to transition from the
current Council election date on the first Saturday in April in odd-numbered years. He added that
a November election would be administered through the county rather than the city.
Council Member Scott questioned whether Council elections would get lost on a large ballot.
Mr. Noyola said he did not think that would occur. Mayor Neal pointed out that City Council
elections are non-partisan while traditional November elections are partisan elections and he
expressed concern about that issue. Additional discussion ensued about the proposed amendments.
There were no public comments. There was consensus of the Council to proceed with the
housekeeping amendments as recommended by staffwith the exception of the proposals for runoff
elections and filling the Mayor's Office in the event of resignation or other cause. Mr. Chapa polled
the Council on Item 20.b. as follows:
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
July 9, 2002 - Page 17
20.b.
M2002-197
Motion directing staff to develop housekeeping City Charter amendments for consideration
as an amendment to the election ordinance.
The foregoing motion passed by the following vote: Neal, Chesney, Colmenero, Garrett,
Kinnison, Longoria, Noyola, and Scott voting "Aye"; Kelly absent.
Mayor Neal referred to Item 17, and a motion was made, seconded and passed to open the
public heating on the FY 2002-2003 operating budget. The Mayor discussed the positive financial
position of the City of Corpus Christi and he cited specific achievements as summarized in the City
Manager's Message in the budget. He said several Texas cities are experiencing budget deficits due
to decreases in their sales tax revenues and from other causes. He noted that Corpus Christi is not
raising its ad valorem tax rate nor is it laying offpeople. In addition, the unallocated fund balance
continues to increase. He thanked staff for all of their efforts and he said he hopes citizens
understand those facts. He then called for public comment.
Mr. J.E. O'Brien, 4130 Pompano, said it is ridiculous to hold a public hearing at 8 p.m. on
a budget where there has been no public input. He said he hopes future Councils schedule the budget
public heating for a time certain. He said in the past when valuations went up, the tax rate usually
went down and he asked the Council if they had considered a token reduction in the tax rate. Mr.
O'Brien questioned the status of the debt service on the Columbus ships and whether the internal
auditor position had been reinstated. He also discussed the utility rotes and net income derived fi-om
them. He said the proposed budget needs more study and work.
Ms. Yvonne Kylstra, 3615 Ocean Dr., said she is a member of the Corpus Christi Library
Board. She referred to an analysis prepared by the board regarding circulation, reference questions
handled, and children's programs and attendance for them. She said the state average for the amount
of money spent on libraries is $14.38 per capita compared to $10.99 per capita in Corpus Christi. She
said the board is particularly concerned about the loss of the Central Library's children's librarian
and the coordinator of children's library services.
Mr. Ken Kellar, 425 Barracuda, said he is President of the Friends of the Library. He said
good libraries illustrate a community's values and quality of life. He said the city needs to provide
funding to retain the existing professional library staff and to attract additional employees. He
reiterated the need for a children's librarian and the importance of adequate funding.
Responding to Mayor Neal, Mr. Herb Canales, Director of Libraries, said he is concerned
about a proposed $8,000 reduction in guard service at the Central Library and the lack of salary
savings that will accrue during the fiscal year due to budgeting at 98% rather than 100% of positions.
He said that would allow them to fill the children's librarian position. He noted that the libraries'
budget has always been in the black.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
July 9, 2002 - Page 18
City Manager Garcia said all city departments were required to dispense with their salary
savings for next fiscal year. Mr. Mark McDaniel, Director of Management and Budget, said the
position cuts referred to by Mr. Canales occurred during a previous fiscal year. Additional discussion
ensued and Mr. Longoria requested options for providing additional funding for the libraries. Mr.
Canales pointed out that 150 computers have been paid for with private funds.
Council Member Garrett made a motion to close the public heating, seconded by Council
Member Colmenero, and passed (Kelly absent).
Council Member Kinnison asked staffto bring back the necessary amendment to provide the
additional funding to the Convention and Visitors Bureau. He said it could be done through a
combination of designating the $100,000 expenditure line item to the CVB and increasing the
projected revenues of the hotel/motel occupancy tax. There was no opposition from the Council
regarding Mr. Kiunison's request.
Council Member Scott asked about the Arts and Cultural Commission's (ACC) request for
an additional $50,000 fi'om the hotel occupancy tax fund for promotional and organizational costs
for the 2003 Corpus Christi Festival of the Arts project. Mr. Scott said he thinks the city should try
to facilitate the promotion of arts events. Mr. Noe said staff can meet with ACC representatives.
Council Member Chesney asked about a request fi'om the Corpus Christi Ballet. Mr.
McDaniel said they had requested $15,000 as a new funding item and staffis not recommending
their proposal. However, in the past the ballet has received about $10,000 through the ACC's arts
subgranting program. Mr. Dan Whitworth, Director of Park and Recreation, explained that the ballet
missed a mandatory meeting for applying for subgrant monies and that situation has been rectified
with the addition of another meeting. Mr. Kinnison said he thought there was Council support for
the ACC's request as long as they review a proposed budget first and are informed that the ACC has
approached the CVB about the request.
Mayor Neal referred to Item 16 and a motion was made, seconded and passed to open the
public hearing to consider vacating and abandoning a 5,799.80-square foot portion of a 15-foot wide
alley right-of-way between Lots 4 through 6, Block 1, and Lot 3, Block 2A, Ocean View Addition.
There were no comments from the audience. Council Member Longoria made a motion to close the
public hearing, seconded by Council Member Colmenero, and passed (Kelly absent). Mr. Longoria
asked if Christus Spohn Health System owns Lots 1-6 and Mr. Escobar replied affirmatively. City
Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:
16.b. ORDINANCE NO. 024939
Ordinance vacating and abandoning a 5,799.80-square foot portion of a 15-foot wide alley
right-of-way between Lots 4 through 6, Block 1, and Lot 3, Block 2A, Ocean View Addition;
requiring owner, Christus Spohn Health System; to comply with the specified conditions and
replat the property within 180 days at owner's expense.

An emergency was declared and the foregoing ordinance passed as follows: Neal, Chesney,
Colmenero, Garrett, Kinnison, Longoria, Noyola, and Scott voting "Aye"; Kelly absent.
Mayor Neal referred to Item 19, a presentation on the Governor's desalination initiative. City
Manager Garcia explained that staff has been meeting with the South Texas Water Alliance to
explore options for the city with regard to the new state-wide initiative.
Assistant City Manager Ron Massey explained that the potential desalination projects will
be identified in the regional water planning process and considered on a competitive basis. The
financing proposals include public/private partnerships, m-flee investment bonds and design/build
authority with $2.2 billion available over the next five years.
Mr. Massey said the day after Gov. Rick Pen~ announced his initiative, Mayor Neal sent him
a letter describing the city's current desalination efforts and on May 20th staff met in Houston with
interested parties with a follow-up meeting held on July 1st to discuss sites. He said the current status
is that the city, LNRA, Turner Collie & Braden and U.S. Filter have agreed to work together to
develop a proposal for a desalination plant at the Barney Davis site. He said the next steps are to
identify additional partners, meet with the appropriate agencies, and finalize the proposal.
Responding to Cotmcil Member Garrett, Mr. Massey said there is no time line at this point.
Mr. Garcia said this will be part of a regional effort because while the city does not need the water
directly, it can be involved in providing water to other cities. Council Member Colmenero asked
about the geographic area involved. Mr. Massey said it could include San Antonio and LCRA.
Council Member Scott commended staff for their efforts and he asked if an additional contact needs
to be made of the Governor's Office. Mayor Neal replied that that is probably not necessary at this
time, which he explained.
Mr. Massey and Mr. Ed Garafia, Water Superintendent, then gave the Council an update on
the city's reservoirs following the recent heavy rains. Mr. Massey said the city has initiated a
controlled water release program because Lake Corpus Christi is full and Choke Canyon is almost
full and more inflow is expected. Mr. Massey referred to graphs of the water levels and he responded
to Mayor Neal's question about the TNRCC water release requirements. Mr. Garafia said the last
time both reservoirs were full was in July 1993. Council Member Chesney said he would like to view
Choke Canyon from the air, and a brief discussion ensued about arranging a trip for the Council.
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 21, placing obstructions in Corpus Christi Bay. There
were no comments from the audience. Mr. Reining explained that when this item was considered
on first reading on May 28, 2002, the Council requested that staff revise the amended ordinance to
designate the Council as the authorizing entity for new wharves or piers within the marina. He said
such an amendment might not be necessary because any real construction in the marina will be done
as a specifically approved city project. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes:

Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 22, airport terminal construction. City Secretary
Chapa said staff asked that this item be amended to allow only for the base bid of $6,541,301.99. He
added that Council Member Noyola will be abstaining on this item. Mr. Stowers explained that staff
originally drafted the motion to award the base bid and Additive Alternate No. 1, which provided
for a canopy extension to the parking lot. He said staff will be coming back to the Council in the
future with a recommendation for alternative projects. Responding to Council Members Longoria
and Scott, Mr. Stowers described future phases for the entrance road improvements and increases
in the parking areas. The Mayor asked about the length of the contract. Mr. Stowers said it is
scheduled to be 365 days. Mr. Dave Hamrick, Aviation Director, said staff is planning a grand
opening of the reconstructed Hayden Head Terminal on October 11, 2002.
Council Member Kiunison made a motion to amend Item 22 to change the award amount,
seconded by Council Member Colmenero, and passed (Kelly absent). There were no comments from
the audience. Mr. Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:
22. M2002-199

Berry Contracting, LP (dba Bay Ltd.) of Corpus Christi, Texas, in the amount of

concessionaire's gross monthly revenues for a term of sixty months.
The foregoing ordinance passed on first reading as follows: Neal, Chesney, Colmenero,
Gan:eR, Kinnison, Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye"; Noyola abstaining; Kelly absent.
Mayor Neal called for the City Manager's report. Mr. Garcia distributed a schedule of events
for the Sesquicentennial Celebration on September 7, 8 and 9, 2002. He said this proposal, which
was endorsed by the Sesquicentennial Committee, will include the Folklife/Heritage Festival on
September 7-8 and a city parade and City Hall open house/anniversary party on September 9th. In
addition, staff is suggesting that the Council move their September 10th meeting to September 9th.
Mr. Garcia also outlined items for the July 16th and July 23rd Council meetings.
Mayor Neal said that during the recent July 4th patriotic ceremony, the city was presented
with three flags which were carded through the enemy skies of Afghanistan and Iraq during combat
missions in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Southern Watch by Capt. Jerry
Estell, USMC. Capt. Estell is a 1991 graduate of King High School and a 1995 graduate of Texas
A&M University-Corpus Christi. The Mayor thanked Capt. Estell's family and Mr. Massey for their
efforts with the flags and he asked the City Manager to fly the flags at City Hall at the appropriate
time, particularly on September 1 lth. He then called for Council reports.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
July 9, 2002 - Page 22
Mr. Chesney expressed his condolences to the family of Capt. Charlie Monroe, a city
firefighter, who passed away this week. He reminded citizens of a Friends of the Park meeting on
August 13th at 5:30 p.m. in City Hall and a town hall meeting in September in District 1.
Mr. Garrett said he has received calls about a foul odor on Park Road 22 between Laguna
Shores and Graham Road. Mr. Massey said a company is conducting a TNRCC-permitted activity
there. Mr. Garrett also thanked Mr. Massey for his response to a citizen's concem about getting his
water turned on. Mr. Massey gave credit to Ms. Lee Ann Dumbauld, Finance Director, and the
Utilities Business Office. Mr. Garrett added that the city's web site can provide helpful information.
Mr. Noyola said he thought flashing lights were going to be installed at the four-way stop in
the area of the Cliff Maus street repairs. He also referred to an email regarding Trojan and
Greenwood Drives. Mr. Massey said staff will conduct a speed survey after school starts.
There being no further business to come before the Council, Mayor Neal adjourned the
Council meeting at 9:37 p.m. on July 9, 2002.

FUTURE COUNCIL ACTION: Nothing anticipated to complete this project.
PROJECT BACKGROUND: The existing airport lift station was built in 1958 and is difficult
to access. This project will relocate the lift station from the Maintenance Building
basement to an altemative location away from the new terminal building. This will facilitate
maintenance and repairs and minimize proximity to the public. The new location results in
additional gravity mains and a reduction in the length of the force main.
EXHIBIT "A"
Page 1 of 2
This project will proceed in advance of Phase 1 of the CCIA Roadway and Parking Lot
improvements because a portion of the new gravity line will be installed under the
proposed roadway. This will result in a phase construction approach to the roadway
improvements project.
The lift station has been designed to accommodate future airport development. Although
only two pumps are being installed at this time, the triplex wet sump will easily provide for
the installation of a third pump if full development of the airport occurs and future flows
necessitate additional expansion.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project consists a wastewater lift station, underground
wastewater lines and manholes. The lift station consists of:
· Duplex pumps installed in a triplex wet sump;
· SCADA control system; and,
· An emergency generator
BID INFORMATION: The project consists of a base bid and one alternate. The City
received proposals from four (4) bidders on July 3, 2002. (See Exhibit "B") The total bids
(base + alternate) ranged from: $ 959,685 to $1,126,368. The Engineer's estimated
construction cost for the project is $1,049,197.
At this time it is advised that based on Iow bid and past satisfactory experience with
projects of this type, that a construction contract be awarded to Pate & Pate, LLC in the
amount of $ 959,685 for the Corpus Christi International Airport Lift Station and Sanitary
Sewer Relocation.
CONTRACT TERMS: The contract specifies that the project will be completed in 125
calendar days after the notice to proceed, with completion anticipated by January 2003.
FUNDING: Funds for this project are available in the Wastewater Capital Improvement
Budget.

(Project # 8378)
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION:
July 24, 2001 - Approval of the FY 2001 - 2001 Operating Budget. (Ordinance No.
024528).
PRIOR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION:
February 8, 2001 - Administrative approval of a small A/E Agreement with Bath
Engineering, Corporation in the amount of $14,920 for engineering services
necessary for the Padre Island Pump Station Valve Automation and Instrumentation
project.
February 01,2002 - Administrative approval of Amendment No. 1 to a small A/E
Agreement with Bath Engineering, Corporation in the amount of $9,900 for
engineering services necessary for the Padre Island Pump Station Valve
Automation and Instrumentation project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Dudng periods of Iow water pressure in the distribution system in the Padre Island
area, the facilities at the Padre Island Pump Station provide additional distribution
system pressure to the immediate area. Presently, this operation is done manually
and operators must be present at the pump station to operate the facilities. This
project will enable the pump station to operate automatically by sensing system
pressure and storage tank levels. Additionally, this project will connect to the City's
SCADA system for remote system monitoring from the O.N. Stevens Water
Treatment Plant for optimal operations.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This project consists of:
· replacing pump discharge valves;
· modifying intake valve pilot controls;
adding pressure, flow, and level instrumentation;
· revising existing RTU (MOSCAD) programming;
Page 1 of 2
SCADA documentation; and
modifying existing HMI graphic screens at O.N. Stevens WTP to reflect
additional devices and instrumentation in accordance with the plans,
specifications and contract documents.
BID INFORMATION: The project consists exclusively of a base bid. The Engineer's
construction estimate is $90,000.00. On July 2, 2002, the City received two (2) proposals
with bids ranging from $119,000 to $146,740. The higher bid, from WT Young
Construction, was deemed non-responsive due to an incomplete qualification statement.
City staff and the City's Engineering Consultant, Bath Engineering Corporation,
recommend that based on Iow bid, past satisfactory experience and complete bid
information, a construction contract be awarded to RS Black Civil Engineers &
Contractors/Machinery & Materials, Inc., in the amount of $119,000 for the Padre Island
Pump Station Valve Automation and instrumentation project.
CONTRACT TERMS: The contract specifies that the project will be completed in 150
calendar days, with completion anticipated by January 2003.
FUNDING: Funds for this project are available from the FY 2001 - 2002 Water Operating
Budget.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
BACKGROUND: The Texas General Land Office administers the Beach Maintenance Fund to
partially reimburse cities and counties for beach cleaning, life guarding, and safety patrol services.
The City Council must annually approve submission of the reimbursement application to the state
for beach cleaning and life guarding reimbursement and authorize the City Manager to execute all
necessary documents. The application will provide financial assistance to the City for FY2002-2003.
The Beach Maintenance Fund Program reimburses cities and counties by a formula that distributes
a finite budget of $940,000 each year. Of that budget the General Land Office is authorized to take
up to ten percent for and administrative costs. The principal portion of the beach maintenance
appropriations, amounting to $846,000 presently is distributed amount the twelve communities that
contain public beaches within their jurisdiction and have made application for funding. Seventy-five
percent of funds available for distribution shall be allocated by determining each participant's
proportionate share of total participant expenditures during the fiscal years preceding the year for
which participant is applying for reimbursement. Twenty-five percent of the funds available for
distribution shall be allocated by determining each participant's proportionate share of total linear
footage of gulf beach which the participants will clean and maintain pursuant to project agreements
authorized in Texas Administrative Code, Title 31, Part I, Chapter 25.
Cities which qualify for eligibility under the Natural Resources Code, may receive up to, but no
greater than two-thirds reimbursement for eligible expenses incurred in cleaning and maintaining the
beaches; however, state appropriations have always limited this reimbursement to the range of 10
to 20 percent of actual local costs.
Previously, the City contracted with Nueces County to dean 5,350 feet of beaches at an annual cost
of $100,000 with GLO reimbursing around 10%. The City now maintains 36,590 feet of gulf beaches
with estimated eligible expenses of $824,900. It is anticipated that the Texas General Land Office
will reimburse the City $72,000.

Introduction
NGF Consulting, a subsidiary of the National Golf Foundation, was retained bythe City of Corpus
Christi to assist in determining the feasibility for developing a public access golf facility to be located
in the Corpus Christi, Texas area.
Under consideration is the potential development of an 18-hole regulation leng[h golf course and
appropriate related amenities, which may include a ddving range and clubhouse (with a snack
bar/grill, a medium size pro shop, and men's and women's locker rooms). The course is intended
to be operated as a public access facility with amenities available on a daily fee basis. The purpose
of the feasibility analysis is to determine the economic viability of the proposed golf facility and to
provide guidance regarding its positioning in the market.
Central to the feasibility of the project are the:
· Size and strength of the local golf market
· Proposed publicgolf facilities and their impact on the market
· Revenue potential of the completed facility
To examine the market, Darrin B. Davis, Senior Project Director spent April 9, 2002 through April
12, 2002, in Corpus Christi, Texas to meet with representatives of the City of Corpus Christi and
visit various golf facilities in the area. The study effort was conducted under the supervision of
Richard B. Singer, Director of Consulting Services.
On Apdl 9, 2002 Dan'in Davis met with Adda A. Schreiber-Garza, Management Assistant II, Marco
A. Cisneros, Director of Park and Recreation, David Ondrias, Assistant Director / Operations, Daniel
L. Whitworth, Assistant Director for Programs and Bruce Haddad, Head Golf Professional to
discuss and obtain information relative to the City's existing golf facilities as well as their input on
the local golf market.
National Golf Foundation Consulting, Inc. Interim Report I
Executive Summary
NGF Consulting has studied the overall golf market in Corpus Christi and the surrounding area, with
spedal focus on the market potential for a public access golf facility. It is apparent that due to
current economic conditions and a major shift in the demographic composition of residents of the
Corpus Christi area there is a decline in the local public access golf market. This decline is being
experienced more prominently in the more densely populated portions of the greater Corpus Christi
market.
Outdated golf facilities, a lackluster local economy and the resultant soft golf market have brought
the City of Corpus to the point where critical decisions should be made regarding the long-term
provision of golf services.
Key NGF Consulting findings on the Corpus Christi area golf market are as follows:
The local golf market in and around Corpus Christi demonstrates a lack of variety of golf
course offerings, generally catering to the lower and middle quality segments of the
public access golf market. There are no upscale public access golf facilities available in
the Corpus Christi market.
Correspondingly, fee levels at most area golf facilities fall into a tight range, toward the
lower end of the price spectrum (in comparison to what we have observed in other
markets.)
Activity levels vary somewhat among golf facilities in the Corpus Christi market. Golf
facilities located closer to Corpus Christi tend to have higher activity levels than those in
outlying areas.
Golfer rounds played at the City's golf courses have been declining since 1997. It is
believed that this is due to stagnant economic growth, a continuing change in the
demographic composition of the area's residents and inferior golf course conditions at
the two golf facilities operated by the City.
Demographics and the Local Economy
Overall, the local economy in and around the Corpus Christi area has experienced slight population
increases in recent years. However, shrinking labor force levels, industry sector growth trends,
acceptable unemployment levels and other economic indicators suggest a flat, Iow growth
economy. The status of the local economy provides an uncertain outlook on long-term local
investments.
Demographic data on the Corpus Christi MSA (Metropolitan Statistical Area) indicate a
slowly expanding population, with median household income levels recently growing at
two to three percent per year.
Labor Force projections for the Corpus Christi MSA indicate no recant growth in the
workforce, with employment generally migrating from traditional "blue collar" industry
National Golf Foundation Consulting, Inc. Intedm Report 2
segments toward "white collar" employment. The services sector demonstrates the
highest growth in the MSA.
Retail sales in the Corpus Christi MSA indicate that consumer confidence levels remain
strong and reflect the belief that the current economic malaise will be short-lived.
With its usual fluctuations, building permit activity and dollar volume in the Corpus Christi
MSA indicates Iow annual growth.
During the 1990 to 2005 period the Hispanic population is expected to increase from 52
to 63 percent of the Corpus Christi MSA population. Because minority populations tend
to have lower than average participation levels in golf this may have a negative impact
on the short-term demand for golf rounds.
Market Demand Analysis
Based on demand estimation models produced by NGF Consulting for this study effort, we have
estimated that the total potential public access golf demand in the immediate Corpus Christi market
area is in the range of 322,000 to 334,000 rounds annually between 2000 and 2005. This equates
to an estimated growth rate of potential rounds demanded of less than one percent per year.
After comparing the demand estimates to the existing and planned supply of golf facilities, NGF
Consulting has estimated that the area is generally at equilibrium with regard to the demand and
supply of golf rounds.
Market Opportunity Analysis
Based on our review of existing facilities and the area golf market environment, the following
implications were noted regarding the potential development of a middle quality golf facility:
· There is an overall lack of variety in the quality of public access golf in the Corpus Christi
market, with clustering toward the lower end of the price-quality continuum.
· A tenuous local economy and recently flagging golf activity levels present elevated risk
factors for entering into the local public access golf market.
A new better than average golf facility could be successful in this market. However, its
success would likely be at the expense of existing golf facilities in the area. Also higher
than average fee levels would be necessary to amortize expected development costs.
An altemative to the development of a new golf facility would be a major renovation on
one or both of the City's existing golf operation& The viability of this option should be
explored in detail.
Financial Analysis
Overall, the Corpus Christi golf market is soft with potential to expand only at a slight to moderate
rate. Despite the elevated levels of risk associated with the development of the proposed golf
facility, it could be successful (perhaps cannibali:,ing play from the City's other golf operations.)
National Golf Foundation Consulting, Inc. Interim Report 3
Notwithstanding the potential for a successful development, total accrued cash flow from golf
operations is not likely to turn positive until the ninth or tenth year of operation.
With prime time golf and cart fees in the $31 to $34 range in the first five years of operation, a
positive post debt cash flow of appre~dmately $85,000 to $90,000 will accrue from the fifth year of
operation forward, a six percent after debt net operating margin.
Summary Conclusion & Recommendations
Economic and market risks suggest that the development of a new golf facility in the Corpus Christi
area could be successful but most likely at the expense of decreased performance levels of other
area golf facilities.
Given the status of the current local economic and golf market environment and the conditions of
the City's existing golf facilities one clear alternative is to consider major renovation projects at one
or both of the City's two golf operations. This could assist these two operations in becoming price
leaders in the market and halt the erosion of the revenue stream flowing from golf operations.
We recommend that the City use the remainder of this study's funded efforts gaining a clear picture
of the physical and capital requirements for a major renovation project at both of the municipal golf
operations.
These results can be compared against NGF's recommended level of warranted investment for the
proposed new golf facility development to determine which of these options should be implemented
by the City.
National Golf Foundation Consulting, Inc. Interim Report 4
Economic Overview
In order to appropriately assess the viability of the proposed golf facility, the environment in which
the project will exist must be fully understood. Given that this project is expected to continue as an
integral part of the business community and is essentially dependent upon the economic well being
of the area, it is necessary to comprehend the trends occurring in the local economy. In this section
of the report, NGF Consulting will evaluate the economic environment of the surrounding area,
which in part, is the marketplace for the golf facility.
The following paragraphs will discuss demographic trends and economic activity, including trends in
population, age, labor, unemployment, industry sector activity, retail sales and real estate
construction. In some cases, references will be made to the state of Texas and the potential market
area, defined as the area comprising within a 40-mile radius around Corpus Christi.
Area Demographic Trends
In cooperation with research materials provided by Claritas, Inc. (the premier supplier of
demographic research based on U.S. Census results), NGF Consulting has examined relevant
characteristics of the local population.
Population Growth
The status of the general population has a direct bearing on the potential success of the proposed
golf course. The following table highlights population ~'ends in the area.

As shown in the previous table, the resident populafion in and around. Corpus Christi grew moro
slowly than the remainder of the state of Texas during the 1990s. This trend is expected to
continue through 2005.
Golf facilities tend to perform better where the local population is expanding at higher rates.
However, in and of itself a slightly increasing population does not determine the potential for a
successful golf facility in this market. Other factors will have to be assessed before the potential
success for the proposed golf facility can be determined.
National Golf Foundation Consulting, Inc. Inte#m Report 5
Median Age Trends
As shown in the table below, the median age for residents in the Corpus Christi market is roughly
equivalent to the median age of residents of the state of Texas.. it is noted that by 2005 the median
age of residents in the Corpus Christi area will be slightly younger than the residents of the state of
Texas as a whole.

One of the determinants for evaluating the potential for golf demand is the age distribution of the
population. As people age, their potential for participating in the game of golf increases, as does
their frequency of play. Thus, the older a population becomes, the more rounds of golf are going to
be demanded in a given market. This fact may have a positive impact on the potential of the
proposed golf facility. Nevertheless, age trends are only summarized at this point; they will be
discussed in detail in a later section of this report.

The previous table depicts median household income trends for residents around the Corpus Christi
area and compares them to median household income levels for residents of the state of Texas,
We note that median household income levels of residents in and around the Corpus Christi market
National Golf Foundation Consulting, Inc. Intedm Report 6
are approximately 25 percent lower than median household income levels of residents of the state
of Texas. This lack of expected income growth may be reflective of the somewhat soft local
economy. This will be more fully developed laterin this section of the report
In general, as household income increases the participation in the game of golf increases. Higher
income households also tend to play golf more frequently. Thus, residents ofthe Corpus Christi
market are somewhat less likely to participate in the game of golf than residents of the state of
Texas overall. Local median household income levels, which are somewhat lower than household
income levels of residents throughout Texas, lead us to believe that golf demand will be lower in the
Corpus Christi market in comparison to other markets in the state. Similar to age distribution
trends, this trend will need to be evaluated in conjunction with several other variables before a
recommendation regarding the proposed can be made.
Summary of Demographic Trends
Area trends illustrate that the populafion of residents in the Corpus Christi market expanded less
rapidly than the population of the state of Texas overall during the 1990's. This trend is expected to
continue through 2005.
The median age of residents around the Corpus Christi market is comparable to the median age of
residents in the state of Texas.
The median household income level for residents in and around Corpus Christi is significantly lower
than the median household income level of residents of the state of Texas. This trend will become
more pronounced by 2005.
Although these indicators are somewhat negative, they do not preclude a recommendation to
develop the proposed golf facility. However, more detailed information is needed to assess whether
the project should be pursued. This will be provided in later sections of this report.
Economic Activity
The health and economic well-being of a local economy is supported and determined by a number
of factors, including but not limited to: the size and strength of the labor force, unemployment levels
and other economic indicators such as consumer activity and real estate trends. This part of the
report focuses on the aspects of the economy that can have a potential impact on the success of
the proposed golf facility.
Labor and Employment
The following tables portray the level of the civilian labor force for Corpus Christi MSA from 1980 to
2000, in comparison to the state of Texas.

The previous table shows employment trends in the Corpus Chdst area for the last decade.
Employment activity appears to have hit a temporary high point in 1996 and 1997 and has declined
to the most recant year. This is consistent with some of the other data that we have gathered. It
suggests a minor lull in the local economy. It remains to be seen how strong and when an
economic turnaround will occur,
The following table compares labor force trends in the local area to the surrounding region and the
state of Texas overall.

As shown in the above table, Nueces County and, to a lesser extent, the Corpus Christi MSA have
experienced slight declines in the civilian labor force during the 1995 to 2001 period. This
reinforces the concept that the temporary lull in the economy is a localized issue.
Unemployment
The following table highlights local, regional and statewide unemployment rates for the last decade.

Although slightly more elevated than state of Texas, unemployment levels in the local area have
generally mirrored statewide trends during the last decade. Again, this suggests a slightly
weakened local economy in comparison to the state of Texas as a whole.

Similar to other regions of the country that we have examined, the Corpus Christi MSA is
experiendng a shift from traditional "blue colla¢' employment toward "white collar" employment.
This is most prevalent in the Services sector, which grew from 20 percent of all employment in 1980
to 33 percent by 2000. We also note a relative increase in retail trade and in the federal military
government sectors.

The major employers in the Corpus Christi area are found in the federal military government,
petroleum and petrochemicals industries. These core industries appear to be the backbone of the
local economy. A lull in activity in any of these key industries can lead to a dectine in the overall
local economy. The dependency on good employment looms large in the minds of residents in the
area. The following chart shows results of a local poll taken recently.

As depicted in the preceding chart the status of employment and the local economy are the focal
point for residents living in and around the Corpus Chdsti area. The realization that the local
economy is somewhat dependent on the performance of a small set of industries gives us a sense
of heightened risk for any new development being considered for the local market.
Retail Sales
Although its general characteristics can be somewhat volatile on a yearly basis, retail sales trends
can provide some insight into the overall stability and growth of the local economy. The next table

Again, we note the temporary lull in economic activity after 1997. We also note a dramatic increase
in the year 2000. This may be a case of rebound effect brought about by pent-up demand. Our
review of retail sales trends suggests an expanding local economy and generally yields a favorable
outlook on the proposed golf facility.
Trends in Real Estate
In addition to being indicative of the immediate level of supply and demand for housing, real estate
trends can assist in making implications about the overall heallh of the local economy. NGF
Consulting has evaluated construction activity in the Corpus Christi MSA for the 1995 to 2001
period.

As shown with some of our other economic factors, the construction industry in the Corpus Christi
MSA has experienced some variability from year to year, with a generalized malaise occurring after
1996-1997. The growth of construction industry in the Corpus Chdsti area lags behind the state of
Texas overall. Again it is not entirely clear if the demonstrated weakness in the local economy has
bottomed out and is on the mend, This should be considered only in combination with all of the
other economic factors already discussed in this section of the report.
National Golf Foundation Consulting, Inc. Interim Report 14
Other Factors Potentially Affecting the Local Golf Market
The primary reason for reviewing economic trends is to attempt to discern causal influences
affecting the performance of existing golf facilities in the Corpus Christi area. Additionally, to
understand the potential performance of the proposed golf facility for the City of Corpus Christi.
The City's existing facilities have had a significant decline in activity levels that occurred soon after
the decrease in some economic factors during 1996-1997. It appears that the decline in these
economic factors is not commensurate with drop in golf course activity levels.
We have considered other factors that could be affecting the performance of these facilities in the
following paragraphs.
Ethnical Shifts in the Local Population
Although the face of golf is changing, to some degree it still remains a sport dominated by
Caucasian Americans of European influence. In our visit to the Corpus Christi area we found it
refreshing to see the sport being readily adopted by individuals of Hispanic descent. While this may
have been happening on a smaller scale for quite some time, the level of participation of minorities
in the game of golf has traditionally been only 10 to 25 percent of the level of participation of
Caucasian Americans of European descant.
As such we cannot look for potential causes of decreased rounds activities at area courses without
considering the shifts in the demographic composition of the local market. The following table
examines the continued growth of the Hispanic population in the area.
Demographic Shifts in the Corpus Christi MSA
Hispanic Non-Hispanic
Pooulation Pooulation Percent Population Percent
1990 349,894 181,860 52% 168,034 48%
2000 388,789 231,297 59% 157,492 41%
2005 401,041 251,727 63% 149,314 37%
Source: Claritas, Inc. and NGF Consulting
The previous table shows the shift in the area population's demographic composition for the 1990 to
2005 period. The Hispanic population is expected to increase by 38 percentdudng the 15-year
period ending in 2005. Conversely the non-Hispanic population is e~pected to decrease by 11
percent during the same period. This suggests that the popula~on growth occurring in the Corpus
Christi area since 1990 has been predominantly made up of individuals of Hispanic descent.
NGF Consulting believes that golf partidpation in the Hispanic population will generally continue to
increase over the long term, but there are measures that the City of Corpus Christi can implement
to build golf demand in all segments of the population in the near term.
National Golf Foundation Consulting, Inc. Interim Report 15
To understand which measures are most effective, we have but to consider the growth and
development of golf in the United States during the 20~h century. During the first half of the century
golf was largely a country club sport played predominantly by the wealthy. As television
democratized many things it also populariaed golf in the public's eye. From the 1960s through the
1990s there was an intense growth in golf facility development targeted toward all segments of the
population. The levels of golf supply available resulted in unprecedented adoption of the sport by
the US population. All things being equal, the broader the range of golf opportuni~es available, the
more expansive a population's adoption of the sport.
Corpus Christi has a large growing segment of the population that has not had the same level of
exposure to golf as residents in other markets. Part of the challenge for city officials administering
the golf program will be to offer facilities and programming directed toward developing and retaining
newer golfers. This will be explored in later phases of this study.
Annual Precipitation Trends
It was also suggested that NGF Consulting investigate climatological trends to verify if severe
persistent drought conditions could be influencing golf course performance levels. The following
chart shows annual precipitation trends in the City of Corpus Chdsti for the 1972 to 2001 period.

National Golf Foundation Consulting, Inc. Intedm Report 16
Annual precipitation trends show very Iow rain levels in 1996, with a recovery to slightly above
average in 1997 and below average levels again in 1998 and 1999. Although we don't believe this
to be the dominant cause of decrease in golf activity levels in recent years, it could have certainly
had an impact on course conditions and desire to play.
In combination with a slump in the local economy, these factors could have had a negative
influence on the growth of public access golf in the local market over the past few years.
Economic Overview Summary
The local economy in the Corpus Chdsti area is sustained by a stable Iow growth population.
Growth in median household income levels in the general area, particularly in and around Corpus
Christi, suggests that wealth is increasing in the area but still lags behind household income levels
for the state of Texas overall.
A stable labor force, moderate levels of unemployment, increasing retail sales and stable real
estate activity levels, all contribute to the impression that the area surrounding Corpus Christi offers
a generally stable, though somewhat lackluster, economic environment. Such economic conditions
do not necessarily preclude the development of the proposed golf facility. However, specific golf
market conditions will determine whether such an endeavor should be undertaken. A detailed
analysis of the potential market for golf in the Corpus Christi area will be presented in later sections
of this report.
National Golf Foundation Consulting, Inc. Interim Report 17
Market Demand Analysis
We have just reviewed the economic environment in which the proposed golf facility would operate.
We now turn our attention to one of the specific elements that will assist us in determining the
feasibility of the proposed golf facility development.
The purpose of this section of the report is to understand and quantify the demand potential for
public access golf in the Corpus Chdsti, Texas area. This is based on golfer participation
characteristics of residents of the state of Texas and on existing and emerging demographic trends
in the local area.
The primary source of play for the proposed golf facility will be residents of and visitors to the
Corpus Christi area. It is conceivable that the proposed golf facility will be able to attract play from
beyond the local golf market. However, the majodty of the rounds generated at the proposed golf
facility will emanate from residents in the local golf market.
Defining the Resident Market
In order to establish reasonably accurate estimates of potential golf play and resulting revenue for
the proposed golf facility in the Corpus Christi area, NGF Consulting will identity the potential
geographic resident market area, corresponding population and demographic trends, and
anticipated pafficipation levels by market area residents for the golf course.
A number of factors contribute to determining the actual expected market area for a golf facility. The
quantity, quality, and nature of existing competitive facilities in the area (discussed in detail later in
this report), proximity to population centers, site accessibilityto local and major highway/roadway
systems, economic and demographic factors, and the propensity for golfers to travel to play golf all
playa role in developing and defining the market area for a golf course. NGF Consulting has
weighed the relative importance of each element in determining and evaluating the market area for
the proposed facility.
Market Definition
The network of good interstate and local highway infrastructure, locations of potentially competitive
facilities, and the willingness of golfers to travel in this market are factors that directly influence the
size of the market area for the proposed golf course in the Corpus Christi area.
Based upon these elements, the golf market area would encompass a 40-mile radius emanatJng
from Corpus Christi. Thus, the market area definition comprises all of Nueces and San Patrido
Counties, most of Kleberg and Aransas Counties and lesser portions of Bee, Jim Wells, Refugio
and Kenedy Counties. For purposes of this report, the defined market shall be referred to as the
Corpus Christi golf market. Further, that said definition includes golfers residing within a 25-mile
radius of the center of Corpus Christi.
A map delineating the market area is found on the following page.
National Golf Foundation Consulting, Inc. Interim Report 18
Market Area Map
National Golf Foundation Consulting, Inc, Interim Report 19
Resident Golf Demand in the Corpus Christi Market
Having discussed the economic trends in and around Corpus Christi in previous sections of this
report, we will now examine trends for resident golf demand in the market area. The demand for
golf in this market is generated by residents living in and around lhe area, comprising mostly
Nueces, San Palricio and Aransas counties. As previously defined, this market area encompasses
a 40-mile radius from Corpus Christi.
Local Market Area Demographics
We retained the demographic and market research firm Claritas, Inc. to determine more closely the
population for the identified market area. According to an update of the 1990 U.S, Census, there
were an estimated 454,558 residents in the market area in 2000. This represents an 11 percent
increase from 1990 Census population levels.
The demographic composition of residents within a market is important in analyzing and
understanding whom potential resident golfers are, what their desire to play golf is, and how
frequently they play. To illustrate the demographic trends of the residents within the identified
market area, we have prepared the following summary chart:
Population (40 Mile Radius)
Population (> 5 years of age)
Median Household Income
Summary of Market Area Demographic Trends
t990 Chan¢~e 2000 Change 2005
410,024 1.0% 454,558 0.6% 469,125
376,552 1.1% 418,506 0.7% 433,257
$25,979 3.7% $37,337 2.4% $42,001
Source: Claritas, Inc. & NGF Consulting
Based upon the demographic data above, the potential golfer population (5 years of age and
above) in the market area has increased since 1990 and will continue to increase through 2005.
Also, the median household income level in the market grew at a reasonable rate during the 1990s.
This rate of growth will continue to occur although at a slightly lower rate through the year 2005
(household income forecasts for the year 2005 indude an adjustment for inflation and are
expressed in currant dollars). Summarizing, we observe that the Corpus Christi golf market is
represented by a stable populalJon base, with household income levels expanding at a moderate
rate through the year 2005.
Participation Research Overview
The NGF published research document, Golf Participation in the United States (originally produced
in 1995 and updated annually, provides dependable demog'aphic information on the number,
National Golf Foundation Consulting, Inc. Intedm Report 20
nature, and habits of golfers within each state. For purposes of our research effort, NGF's research
department ascertained golfer characteristics among residents of the state of Texas. According to
a recant update of that study, the golfer participation rate of Texas residents came to slightly higher
than 8 percent, in comparison to a 12 percant partidpation rate for the nation as a whole.
For 60 years, the National Golf Foundation has served as the nation's leading information source
for the golf industry. Throughout those 60 years, the NGF has provided the most current and
complete assessment of the nation's interaction between supply and demand for the game. NGF's
research focuses on, but is not restricted to, the number of facilities currently operating in the United
States and Ihe number of golfers and the rounds they play at American golf course facilities.
To accurately assess the growth of demand for the game, the NGF began, in 1985, a new method
of determining the size of the golf population. Each year sinca 1985, the NGF has commissioned
Market Facts, inc., a market research company based in Chicago, to conduct a survey of American
golf participation habits.
In January of each year, Market Facts mails golf publication surveys to 30,000 households,
nationwide, to determine the previous year's golf partidpation characteristics. In order to be
representative of the US population, the observations are weighted to match total U.S.
demographics. Because the sample is so large, NGF is extremely confident in its accuracy. In
statiatical terms, the national par~cipation rate is estimated to be 12 percent of the population, plus
or minus 0.2 percent at the 90 percant confidence level.
NGF has continuously conducted its annual golf participation surveys sinca 1985. Consequently,
the Foundation has a database of over a quarter of a million individuals and their golfing or non-
golfing behavior, as well as their demographic and socioecanomic characteristics. NGF is capable
of determining participation rates and frequency play statistics for any of the nation's states and
most metropolitan areas. The Foundation's survey material is made available to NGF Consulting.
While the NGF is national in scope and its primary focus is the assessment of golf market supply
and demand across the United States, it also has the capability to evaluate specific markets. The
breadth and depth of NGF's databases ensures that market assessments made by NGF Consulting
are as accurate and valid as possible. The true value of the data is not only their detail and
accuracy in describing national trends, but also their application to specific analyses conducted by
NGF Consulting, such as for the Corpus Christi market.
Resident Market Golf Participation Based on Age Distribution
In general, the propensity to play golf increases among Americans as their ages increase. NGF's
age based Golf Participation Model takes into account the varying levels of golf participation among
residents of different age levels. It also accounts for variations in the number of rounds generated
by residents of each age group.
We have applied golfer characteristics from residents living in the state of Texas to the residents of
the defined market area. We examined the age distribution of residents within the identified market
area. This enabled us to estimate the potential golfers within the various age groups and the
number of rounds they could demand. The results are found on the following page.

National Golf Foundation Consulting, Inc. Interim Report 22
From the age model analysis, the market area was estimated to have 32,000 potential golfers in
2000, with an annual potential demand of approximately 321,600 public rounds of golf. By the year
2005, the number of potential golfers is expected to grow to 33,000 golfers, potentially demanding
334,200 public rounds of golf.
We also note that the number of rounds potentially demanded by residents 45 years old and higher
is expected to grew substantially from 2000 through 2005. By 2005 individuals in this age group will
potentially demand almost one-half of all the rounds demanded in the Corpus Christi market.
Overall, the age based golf demand model indicates that public access golf demand is being
generated by almost all age groups.
The demand model implies that a golf facility with the most opportunity for success will be able to
meet the demands of golfers with a varying range of ages and golf skills. Any course design
features, amenities or renovation efforts should take into account that the golf course will be need to
cater to novices as well as those desiring a more challenging golf experience,
This information should be analyzed in conjunction with a review of the actual performance of
existing golf facilities. When considered together these two perspectives of the golf market will
provide insight into the status of the local golf market and whether the proposed golf facility should
be pursued.
National Golf Foundation Consulting, Inc. Interim Report 23
Competitive Facilities Overview
Previous sections of this analysis have focused on the market's current economic condition and
potential public golf rounds demanded from area residents. This section of the feasibility study
examines existing public access golf facilities in and around the identified market. Special
emphasis has been made to analyze current rounds played by market residents.
The primary objective of this study is to identify if there is sufficient demand to warrant the
development of a new public access golf facility or whether other alternatives should be considered.
We have reviewed all of the public access golf facilities in the Corpus Chdsti market area to assist
us in this evaluation. NGF Consulting staff contacted or visited all of the golf facilities in the defined
market area that were identified as potential competition to the proposed golf course. In addition,
NGF Consulting has investigated the possibility of new public courses being added to the area over
the next few years.
The following is a list of area golf courses. The map on the following page displays the general
location of each course. Following the map is a summary that highlights operational characteristics
of the golf facilities in the market area.

NGF Consulting has identified the following significant findings of the Corpus Chdsti area golf
market:
The level of quality of the munidpal and daily fee golf facilities in the local market
demonstrate a lack of variety. Some facilities have better maintenance programs than
others but overall quality of design, features and support amenities tend are somewhat
similar.
The obvious exception is Northshore Country Club, an upscale private club, which
allows limited public access on weekdays through package agreements with local hotel
operators.
Again, with the exception of Northshore Country Club, all of the public access golf
facilities in the Corpus Christi market are more than 30 years old. The aging inventory of
golf courses suggests that either new development or major renovation projects may be
needed in this market.
Few of the golf facilities in this market offer features, amenities and a level of challenge
consistent v~ith what we have observed in other markets. This may reflect constraints
imposed by the lack of a rapidly expanding vibrant local economy.
Given the fact that most of the area golf facilities operate on a year round weather-
permitting basis, the Corpus Christi market shows signs of moderate to active golf
participation.
Given the lack of variation in the level of quality of golf courses in this market, it is not
surprising to see compressed pricing schedules among the individual facilities. Year
2001 combined peak time (weekend) green and per-person cart fees vary from $20 to
$34. We also observe that 18-hole weekday fees only vary from $18 to $27 (excluding
Northshore CountryClub.) This suggests that competition for weekday rounds is slightly
more intense.
· Golf cart usage occurs on approximately 65 percent of all rounds in the market area.
· Based on our review of the market, NGF Consulting is not aware of any new projects in
planning phases or under construction in the Corpus Christi market.

Fee Levels
As noted in the first of the above tables, current peak time combined green and cart fee
levels range from $20 to $34 on weekends, a $14 difference. This is indicative of the
range in overall quality and amenities found at golf facilities in the Corpus Christi market.
Based on these fee levels, it appears that the better quality facilities have suffident
demand during weekends. We also observe that 18-hole weekday fees with 1/2 cart
range from $18 to $27 (excluding Northshore Cour~ry Club), a $9 difference. In more
competitive markets we often find a considerably greater price differential on weekends
versus weekdays. This is because the higher fee facilities generally have to compete
more intensely on weekdays to fill in their tee times.
Fee levels in the Co~pus Christi area are consistent with the overall quality of public
access golf demand and the level of demand being generated by golfers in the area.
Rounds Analysis
Similar to fee levels, the performance of golf facilities in the Corpus Christi area provides
insight into the status of the golf market. The following table examines the activity of golf
facilities in the market, as measured by annual rounds of play.
National Golf Foundation Consulting, Inc. Interim Report 31
The annual level of rounds played at golf facilities in the market varies substantially, ranging
from 20,000 rounds to 60,000 rounds (per 18-hole course). Golf market courses average
35,500 rounds. Given that the golf facilities in this market are open year-round (weather
permitting), the level of activity at area golf courses suggests a soft public access golf
market that may be near saturation levels. This information infers that the proposed golf
facility may struggle as its reputation in the marketplace is built.
The level of rounds of golf experienced by most facilities in the area suggests that the
Corpus Christi golf market is generally soft. Given the age of the inventory in this market, it
is likely that a new golf facility could gain its fair share of the market. However, this would
likely occur at the expense of the other courses in the market; which could suffer a 10 to 15
percent (or higher in some cases) decrease in activity levels.
Overview of Corpus Christi Golf Courses
Given the dynamics of the e)dsting market, we have reviewed Corpus Christi's two golf
facilities, Gabe Lozano Sr. Golf Course and Oso Beach Golf Course with the intent of better
understanding the alterna~ves and options the City should explore upon completion of this
study.
Performance Trends
The overall quality of Corpus Christi's golf courses is very similar to what is found at
comparable golf facilities throughout this market. Fee levels vary little from facility to facility
and this is consistent with the quality of design, features, amenities and levels of
maintenance found at most area courses.
It is noted that the two Corpus Christi courses have significantly higher rounds played. We
attribute this to their immediate proximity to the more densely populated neighborhoods of
the entire Corpus Christi MSA.
Activity Levels at City of Corpus Chrfsti Golf Courses
While examining historical performance trends of the City's two golf courses we noted a
significant decline in rounds played activities over the past several years. The following
charts and table show these trends:

As expected, the City's two golf facilities are very active. However, we have observed a
decline in activity levels that has been occurring over several years.
National Golf Foundation Consulting, Inc. Interim Report 35
Moreover, declines in activity levels are not limited to City of Corpus Christi golf courses. At
least one other course proximate to the city has experienced similar declines. NGF
Consulting contends that overall economic conditions, shifting demographic patterns in the
local population and, to a lesser extent, below average precipitation trends have all played a
role in declining rounds of play over the 3ast several years.
Golf Course Conditions
Dudng our visit to the market we examined pla~ing conditions at the City's two golf facilities.
While generally consistent with other municipal golf facilities in the market, we found that
conditions at the City's courses are below average for what we have observed in many
markets. The following pictures highlight some of the more dramatic needs for course
repairs and renovations.
National Golf Foundation Consulting, Inc. Interim Report 36
National Golf Foundation Consulting, Inc, Interim Report 37
National Golf Foundation Consulting, Inc. Interim Report 38
Notwithstanding the dry climate and the age of the City's golf facilities, there are a number of
major and minor undertakings that should be addressed at both facilities. It is critical that a
full assessment of both golf facilities be conducted to determine what measures should be
considered to improve overall conditions and stem the apparent loss of interest in play that
has been occurring over several years.
Conclusions
Based upon the information found in this market, the following observations have been
made by NGF Consulting:
Given the size and growth of the populalion in and around the Corpus Christi
market, the number of golf facilities developed dudng the last forty years is
consistent with population growth levels.
· Approximately 263,000 rounds of golf are currently being supplied in the Corpus
Christi market.
The range in fee levels at market area golf courses is indicative of the similarity in
overall quality and ameni§es. A new golf facility with contemporary design
features and a strong agronomic program could expect to achieve fee levels
toward the top end of this range.
· Average annual rounds achieved by competitive courses were approximately
35,000 rounds per 18-hole course.
· Annual rounds played trends at courses close to Corpus Chdsti have declined
dudng the last five years. (Details provided in following sections)
At some facilities annual membership play constitutes the majority of rounds
played. If annual memberships were adopted at City of Corpus Christi courses, it
would further erode the earnings potential of its golf courses.
· NGF Consulting is not aware of any additional golf facilities in the planning
phases for this market.
While both of the City's golf facilities continue to generate rounds of play in
excess of the remainder of the market, a disturbing loss of play has occurred
over the past several years. We believe that this is in part due to poor course
conditions and the lack of contemporary design features and characteristics. In
light of current market conditions, the City should seriously consider major
renovation work at both golf facilities.
National Golf Foundation Consulting, Inc. Inte~frn Report 40
Market Status
From the analysis of the identified market area in previous sections, it is possible to estimate
potential golf rounds to be demanded in the target market. In conjunction with the results
compiled from the existing golf facilities in the market, we can determine the status of the
Corpus Chdsti golf market.
In the previous sections of this report, we have evaluated the total potential rounds of golf
demanded in the market area, as well as the rounds of golf being supplied byexisting golf
facilities. Future projections are made based on demographic changes in the population. In
this section, we compare the level of potential rounds demanded to the number of rounds
being supplied to establish the status of demand in the golf market.
Because there are no golf facilities currently in planning stages in the Corpus Christi market,
the number of rounds played projected for the year 2005 remain at current levels.
Public Access Golf Course Rounds Supplied
2000 2005

The number of rounds being played in the Corpus Christi market can be compared to the
number of rounds potentially demanded in the market (shown in the following table.)

Market Status
Given the results of the supply and demand estimates for each segment of the public
access golf market, NGF Consulting has compared these two essential figures. The results
of these calculations for 2000 and 2005 are found below.
National Golf Foundation Consulting, Inc. Interim Report 41
Net Excess Golf Rounds Demanded (Over-Supplied
2000 2005
58,600 71,200
Based on our assessment of golf supply and demand in the Corpus Christi market, it
appears that the market is close to being at equilibrium conditions. Although there appears
to be excess demand in the market, golf course supply indicators suggest that activity levels
ars declining. We should mention that potential demand estimates are based upon golfer
characteristics throughout the state of Texas. Thus, Corpus Christi demand results may be
slightly inflated because of higher golf demand that is occurring in other parts of Texas.
Considering both supply and demand factors we conclude that the local golf market is
currently soft and is likelyto remain in such condi~dons in the near term. If developed, a new
golf facility could find itself in a very competitive environment whers fee level concessions
may have to be made to achieve reasonable activity levels (rounds played.)
Recommendations
Throughout this study effort a diverging path has developed. On one hand a new golf facility
would easily outshine existing facilities in the market and command its fair share in the
market. However, due to the current lack of vigor in the golf market, it is likely that a new
golf facility would in part cannibalize rounds from existing golf facilities. Conversely,
conditions at the City's existing golf facilities suggest that major renovation work could and
should also be taken into account.
To provide a foundation for weighing these two major alternatives, we have prepared a
flnandal analysis of the expected per[ormance and warranted level of investment of the
proposed golf facility in Corpus Christi. In the following phase of this research effort we
recommend that the City examine the costs associated with a major renovation of both of
the City's existing golf facilities. With this research completed the City will be able to make
an informed decision about the appropriate course of action.
Play Potential at the Proposed Facility
When projecting the level of play for the proposed facility, it is important to rsalize that the
total number of rounds actually played at a new course during the first year will be much
lower than the capadty level. It may take up to five years for a facility to rsach its desired
capacity level. This can most often be attributed to lack of rsputation in the arsa, loyalties to
existing courses, the maintenance quality of a new facility in its infancy, and other rsasons.
However, as the course maturss and gains popularity in the arsa, mors golfers are
anticipated to patronize the facility. The following table summarizes NGF Consulting's
National Golf Foundation Consulting, Inc. Interim Report 42
projections for attainable activity levels in the first five years of operation for the proposed
18-hole golf facility.

rotal Projected Rounds 27,000 32,000 36,000 38,000 39,000
The level of projected rounds is based upon the implementation of the concept for a middle
to higher quality course layout and design, receiving an average share of the market; the
level of unmet potential demand identified in the market, and expected green and cart fee
levels.
Based on the expected quality of the proposed golf facility and the projected market
orientation, NGF Consulting believes that the proposed golf course will be able to achieve
prime time (weekend morning) combined green and cart fees in the upper $20s to Iow $30s
range, More detail regarding pricing levels will be discussed in the finandal analysis phase
of this research effort. The following table shows a breakout of fees by type of round played
as well as expected departmental revenue per round estimates.

Conclusions
Based on our analysis of the local economy, an assessment of potential market demand
and our review of potentially competitive golf courses in the Corpus Chdsti market, it
appears that there is opportunity for a golf course project during the next five years. We
note however, that such a development will likely cannibalize some rounds of play from
existing golf facilities in the Corpus Christi market.
Given the existing market conditions and notwithstanding the risks associated with this golf
facility development, NGF Consulting believes that a successful middle to higher quality
public access course could succeed in the Corpus Christi market. Our estimates of
performance for the proposed golf facility could change should the following conditions
occur:
National Golf Foundation Consulting, Inc. Interim Report 44
More Rounds
· Future club closings
· Future club privatization
· Increased awareness of the new course
· Lack of loyalty to existing courses
· Excellent yearly weather conditions
Less Rounds
· New course openings
· Incorrect price levels
· Poor customer service
· Low quality facility
· Poor yearly weather conditions
These estimates shown for probable activity levels are presented in a conservative manner.
It is important to measure a future course's likely performance in such a way as to help the
client make financial derisions based on realistic expectations. It is possible that more
rounds will be played; yet it is also possible that fewer rounds will be played. However,
given the possibilities that the market has shown, we believe that our estimates are
appropriate for the Corpus Christi area, given the current market composition for quality and
availability.
National Golf Foundation Consulting, Inc, Interim Report 45
Financial Overview
Having identified market share estimates for the proposed facility in the Corpus Christi area,
and knowing the antidpated quality level for the project, it is possible to develop a cash flow
proforma that analyzes the course's likely performance. NGF Consulting's cash flow
proforma displays the projected 5-year performance of the proposed golf facility based upon
the concept of a better than average public access operation.
The following general assumptions have been used in the development of NGF Consulting's
cash flow model:
This golf facility is expected to generate approximately 39,000 rounds of golf on
an annual bads. However, it is not antidpated that this will occur immediately. It
is projected that rounds of play will stabilize by the fourth or fifth year of
operation.
Green fees used to develop the cash flow estimates were established in
comparison to potentiallycompetitive facilities in the Corpus Chdsti market. The
rate structure utilized in the financial projections is quoted in 2002 dollars, even
though the facility is not likely to open before 2004. The fee schedules may
require some modification based upon market conditions in the area and other
factors at the point the proposed course is ready to open.
The green fee structure is based upon expectations for 18-hole and twilight /
discount / 9-hole rounds of play for weekdays and weekends. The projected fee
structure for the facility is as follows:
Green Fees (exclusive of cart fee)
18-Hole Weekday
18-Hole Weekend
Twilight Weekday
Twilight Weekend
$16.00
$21.00
$13.00
$14.00
National Golf Foundation Consulting, Inc. Intedm Report 46
Green fees have been conservatively projected to increase by approximately five
percent every other year, beginning in the third year of operation.
Eighteen-hole golf carts are projected at $10.00 per player for the first year, with
nine-hole rounds at $7.00 per player. The rate structure for carts is projected to
increase approximately five percent every other year, beginning in the second
year of operation.
Approximately 50 percent of the facility's rounds are projected to occur as 18-
hole weekday rounds. Eighteen-hole weekend rounds ara expected to comprise
40 percent of all play. Approximately 10 percent of the facility's rounds will be
twilight, discount or 9-hole play. These estimates are based on the expected
level of quality of the course, anticipated competitive pricing and the continuation
of existing dynamics of the local golf market.
Although several golf facilities offer in the Corpus Christi market offer them,
annual passes tend to undermine the long-term pricing potential for golf facilities
and can have a negative effect on profitability, as well as create added
maintenance costs. Therafora, our finandal projections do not include a
category for annual passes, memberships, or other discounted fees.
NGF Consulting has assumed that the facility will lease 55 carts at an annual per
cart rate of $750, including cart maintenance for the first year. The maintenance
contract for the second year is projected at $300 per cart, which will increase at
2.5 percent annuallythrough the fifth year of operation.
Based on the level of cart ridership at the proposed golf facility's most significant
competitors, we believe that cart ridership will be 70 percent of all '18-hole
weekend rounds. Expected cart utilization is estimated to be at 60 percent of all
18-hole weekday play and 15% of all 9-hole, twilight and discount play. Thus,
overall cart utilization is estimated to occur on approximately 60 percent of total
rounds.
This model assumes that the facility will be self-operated and that cash flow from
the various departmental income sources (pro shop, food and beverage, and the
driving range) will accrue to the owner. Average golf shop ravenue per 18-hole
round is estimated at $2.75, food and beverage average revenue per 18-hole
round is $3.75, and ddving range average revenue per round is $1.50 in the first
operational year. Average revenues per 9-hole round are estimated to be 60
percent of the 18-hole round averages, except for range revenues, where they
are estimated to be equal. NGF Consulting has assumed a 2.5 percent increase
in each year for average expenditures in those categories for the first five years
of operation.
NGF Consulting has assumed that soft goods, balls and other accessories will
most likely be the primary merchandise sold in the proposed facility's shop. Cost
of goods sold in the golf shop is estimated at 72 percent of the pro shop
revenues.
National Golf Foundation Consulting, Inc. Interim Report 47
· NGF Consulting has assumed a moderate food and beverage opera§on that
would include a grill, snack bar, full beverage selection and vending items. Cost
of goods sold for the food and beverage concession is projected to be 40 percent
of this department's revenues.
· Driving range expenses are projected at 25 percent of range revenues, primarily
to cever the cost of ball replacement and other related expenses each year.
Personnel related to the range are reflected in the facility staffing.
NGF Consulting has estimated opera§ng revenue for the proposed Corpus Chdsti golf
facility based upon the following staffing levels and associated departmental expenses.

Based on the previously mentioned deparlrnental revenue and expense categories, NGF
Consulting is able to determine estimates regarding the finandal performance of the
proposed golf facility. The following points emphasize key assumptions utilized in our
finandal projections:
· The recommended maintenance budget reflects the standards of a medium to
higher quality golf facility, with maintenance practices exceeding all of the daily
fee and munidpal golf facilities in the market.
· All expenses for the proposed golf course are projected to increase at 2.5
percent annually. Exceptions include: the golf course maintenance function,
which is projected to increase at 4 percent annually and the golf cart lease, which
incurs an annual maintenance fee of $300/cart beginning in Year 2 and
increasing at 2.5 percent annually thereafter.
· A reserve for capital improvements has been estimated at 2.5 percent of gross
revenue starting in Year 2 of operation. This reserve is for the replacement of
short-lived items such as furniture, fixtures, and equipment associated with the
operation of the facility, as well as improvements/modifications to the course.

National Golf Foundation Consulting, Inc. Interim Report 53
NGF Consulting's financial projections for the proposed facility indicate that the proposed
golf facility will not produce a positive after debt net operating income until the fourth year of
operation. A negative net operating income totaling in excess of $363,000 will accrue over
the first three years of operation. It is not likely that the proposed golf facility would have a
positive accrued net operating income until the ninth or tenth year of operation. The
finandal model is based on conservative projections. Revenue projections are
conservatively quantified due to the potential for increased competitive pressure in the local
golf market. Similarly, growth in expected facility expenses is expected to continue through
the first five years of operation.
It must be stressed that our projections are based upon the development and opera,on of a
middle to higher quality golf facility, with some impro~,~ment in features and maintenance
conditions beyond what is currently known in this market. The estimated cost to construct a
new golf facility would likely be in the $3.5 to $5.0 million range (exclusive of land
acquisition.) The expenses projected for the Corpus Christi golf facility were developed
based on a middle to higher quality operation.
Utilization of Financial Projections
The finandal projections presented by NGF Consulting have been praparad based on
existing and projected market conditions, the quality of the proposed facility and the
intended segment of the golf market toward which it will be oriented. Proper uses of these
projections include but are not limited to:
· Establishing reasonable performance expectations for the proposed facility.
· Determining an appropriate level of debt that the facility can support.
· Establishing the basis for finandng determinations.
NGF Consulting is confident that the stated financial projections can be achieved at the
proposed facility. However, they should not be viewed as the ultimate target once the
facility has been operating for a few years. From a practical standpoint, those managing the
facility will need to respond to variable market conditions, as well as unforeseen
maintenance needs. Because these conditions are more likelyto change as the course
continues to mature, NGF Consulting has limited its projections to a five-year period.
Nevertheless, we are confident that the facility will be able to continue to achieve similar
results beyond the first five years of operation.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
PUBLIC HEARING-ZONING (City Council Action Date: July 16, 2002)
Case No. 0602-01~ Deavary Durrill Foundation, Inc.: A change of zoning from an "I-2" Light
Industrial District to a "B-4" General Business District on a 0.826 acre out of 5.158 acres out of Tract 3 in the
Deed from Texas Commerce Bank, N. A. to Deavary Durrill Foundation, Inc. per Deed Volume 2151, Page 553,
Deed Records of Nueces County, Texas, located 125 feet from the intersection of South Enterprize Parkway and
Opportunity Drive.
Planning Commission and Staff's Recommendation (06/05/02): Approval.
Requested Council Action: Approval of a "B-4" General Business District and adoption of the attached
ordinance.
Purpose of Request: To constxuct a medium restricted residential facility for youth supervised by the Texas Youth
Commission.
Summary: The applicant has requested a change of zoning from "I-2" Light Industrial District to "B-4" General
Business District in order to coustmct and lease a building to a state agency, the Texas Youth Commission, for a 24-
bed medium restricted residential facility for juveniles. The facility will be relocated from the current location at
Greenwood Drive across from Sam's Club. As an "I-2" District, permanent or temporary housing or lodging is not
permitted. Therefore, a zoning classification that permits lodging is required for the proposed residential facility. A
"B-4" Distt/ct permits residential development and lodging uses. The "B-4" District is not as intense as the "I-2"
District, but does permit uses similar to those currently existing in the area.
The proposed medium resthctod facility will accommodate low risk males between the ages of 16 and 20, but can
provide for those between the ages of 14 and 15. Youth are allowed to leave the facility without supervision. They
are part of a work program in the community and report to their place of employment by means of public
txansportation. Youth within the facility are to adhere to the regulations and schedules of the agency to maintain the
privilege of staying at this site. Youth who do not follow the guidelines of the agency are in violation of their
probation and are sent back to a juvenile detention center. The facility at its current location along Greenwood
Drive has operated for over 10 years as a good neighbor to the surrounding community. Relocation to the proposed
site is due to a lower rental bid received by the agency which includes a new facility.
This facility will contain approximately 8,092 square feet of housing space and approximately 2,000 square feet of
recreational area. The recreational area will be design as an outdoor facility with concrete flooring. The facility is
operational 24-hours seven days a week with seven (7) offices provided for a rotating staff of eighteen (18). The
average number of staffper shift is six (6), depending on the activity.
The subject property has direct access to South Enterprize Parkway, designated as a local street, but design as a rural
arterial. South Enterprize Parkway can accommodate the limited traffic increase this type of facility may generate.
Occupants do not own or drive a vehicle. Directly north of the proposed facility are business and office uses within
the "I-2" District and 300 feet further north is a senior adult care home in a "B4" District. South and west of the
subject property is undeveloped land zoned with an "I-2" District. The east rear property line of the subject property
borders a drainage easement and undeveloped "R-lB" property. A 6-foot standard screening fence wffi be required
along the rear and side property lines of the subject property due to its residential adjacency. The proposed "B4"
District allows for less intense uses than the "I-2" District while complementing one another.
Applicant's Position: The applicant concurs with Planning Commission and Staff's recommendation.

Planning Staff Analysis:
General Characteristics and Background: The applicant has requested a change of zoning
from "I-2" Light Industrial District to "B-4" General Business Dislxict in order to construct
and lease a building to a state agency, the Texas Youth Commission, for a 24-bed medium
restricted residential facility for juveniles. The facility will be relocated from the current
location at Greenwood Drive across from Sam's Club. As an "I-2" District, permanent or
temporary housing or lodging is not permitted. Therefore, a zoning classification that
permits lodging is required for the proposed residential facility. A "B-4" District permits
residential development and lodging uses. The "B-4" District is not as intense as the "I-2"
District, but does permit uses similar to those currently existing in the area.
The proposed medium restricted facility will accommodate low risk males between the ages
of 16 and 20, but can provide for those between the ages of 14 and 15. Youth are allowed
to leave the facility without supervisiorL They are part of a work program in the community
and report to their place of employment by means of public transportation. Youth within the
facility are to adhere to the regulations and schedules of the agency to maintain the privilege
of staying at this site. Youth who do not follow the guidelines of the agency are in violation
of their probation and are sent back to a juvenile detention center. The facility at its current
location along Greenwood Drive has operated for over 10 years as a good neighbor to the
surrounding community. Relocation to the proposed site is due to a lower rental bid received
by the agency which includes a new facility.
This facility will contain approximately 8,092 square feet of housing space and
approximately 2,000 square feet of recreational area. The recreational area will be design as
an outdoor facility with concrete flooring. The facility is operational 24-hours seven days
a week with seven (7) offices provided for a rotating staff of eighteen (18). The average
number of staffper shift is six (6), depending on the activity.
The subject property has direct access to South Enterprize Parkway, designated as a local
street, but design as a rural arterial. South Enterprize Parkway can accommodate the limited
traffic increase this type of facility may generate. Occupants do not own or drive a vehicle.
Directly nofah of the proposed facility are business and office uses within the "1-2" District
and 300 feet further north is a senior adult care home in a "B-4" Dislrict. South and west of
the subject property is undeveloped land zoned with an "1-2" District. The east rear property
line of the subject property borders a drainage easement and undeveloped "R-lB" property.
A 6-foot standard screening fence will be required along the rear and side property lines of
the subject propen'-y due to its residential adjacency. The proposed "B-4" District allows for
less intense uses than the "1-2" District while complementing one another.

Case No. 0602-01 (Deava.ty Dunill Foundation, Inc.)
Page 4
Conformity to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Compatibility: Overall, the
Comprehensive Plan Elements can be supportive of the requested "B-4" District. The
Westside Area Development Plan's adopted future land use map recommends the area to
develop with industrial uses that capitalize on the freeway and state highway access. The
"B-4" District is consistent with the Plan's recommended land use because the subject
property is within the 100 South Padre Subdivision where a mixture of'%2" District and
"B-4" District uses exist.
Potential Housing Density: The "B-4" District permits 36.30 dwelling units per acre or 3
units on the subject property. The '%2" District does not permit permanent or temporary
housing or lodging, except for a caretaker's quarters. The increase in density form the '%2"
District to the "B-4" District will not impact the adjacent properties.
Height/Bulk/Setbacks/Etc.: Both the "B4" and '%2" Districts require a front yard setback
of twenty (20) feet and no side or rear yard setback unless adjacent to a residential district
where a setback often (10) feet is required. A ten 10) rear setback is required due to
residential adjacency and no side yard setback is required. There is no building height
limitation in either the "B4" or '%2" Districts.
Signage: Both the "B4" and '%2" Districts permit unlimited wall and freestanding signs
provided they are located behind the front yard setback. Within the front yard setback, a
freestanding sign is limited to one sign per street frontage with an area of forty (40) square
feet and a height of 25 feet. The "I-2" District does permit off-premise signs (billboards).
Traffic: The youth residential facility use is not expected to generate large volumes of traffic
because the occupants do not own or drive a vehicle and vehicle traffic is mostly limited to
staffing personnel and visitors. Therefore, traffic should not be an issue.
Parking/Screening: The Corpus Christi Zoning Ordinance requires a residential use for a
youth facility to provide one off-street parking space for every two (2) sleeping rooms. The
proposed 24-bed dormitory building will be required to provide twelve (12) off-street parking
spaces. Compliance with the parking regulations will be required during the peiHfitting
phase. A standard screening fence with a height of not less than six (6) feet is required when
a business or industrial use locates adjacent to a residential district. The subject property has
residential adjacency along the rear and side property lines where placement of a screening
fence will be required.
Costs to City: The infrastructure required to serve the proposed development is in place and
no costs to the City are anticipated.
Platting: The subject property is a portion of another lot and will require platting prior to
the issuance of a building permit.

Pros: (Ideas in support of the request.)
The requested "B-4" District provides for less intense uses abutting the "R-lB" District east
of the subject property.
Cons: (Ideas in support of maintaining the current zoning.)
The existing "I-2" District is more consistent with the Westside Area Development Plan's
recommended land use.
Staff Recommendation:
Approval.

Planning Commission Minutes
June 5, 2002
Deavary Durrill Foundation, Inc.: 0602-01
REQUEST:
"I-2" Light Industrial District to "B-4" General Business District on property described as
being 0.826 acre out of 5.158 acres out of Tract 3 in the Deed from Texas Commerce
Bank, N. A. to Deavary Durrill Foundation, Inc. per Deed Volume 2151, Page 553, Deed
Records of Nueces County, Texas, and located 125 feet from the intersection of South
Entelprize Parkway and Opportunity Drive.
Mr. Saldaila presented a computerized slide illustration of the subject property and the
surrounding area. The subject property is part of an area with approximately 120-acres of land zoned an
"I-2' District and developed with a mixture of businesses, offices, vacant buildings, industrial uses, and
has remaining undeveloped land. Three (3) acres of land 300 feet further north of the subject property is
zoned with a "B4" District and is developed as senior adult care home.
The applicant has requested a change of zoning from "1-2" Light Industrial District to "B4"
General Business DisU-ict in order to construct and lease a building to a state agency, the Texas Youth
Commission, for a 24-bed medium restricted residential facility for juveniles. As an "I-2" District,
permanent or temporary housing or lodging is not permitted. Therefore, a zoning classification that permits
lodging is required for the proposed residential facility. A "B4" District permits residential development
and lodging uses. The "B4" District is not as intense as the "I-2" District, but does permit uses similar to
those currently existing in the area.
The proposed medium restricted facility will accommodate low risk males between the ages of 16
and 20, but can provide for those between the ages of 14 and 15. Youth are allowed to leave the facility
without supervision. They are part of a work program in the community and report to their place of
employment by means of public transportation. Youth within the facility are to adhere to the regulations
and schedules of the agency to maintain the privilege of staying at this site. Youth who do not follow the
guidelines of the agency are in violation of their probation and are sent back to a juvenile detention center.
This facility will contain approximately 8,092 square feet of housing space and approximately
2,000 square feet of recreational area. The recreational area will be design as an outdoor facility with
concrete flooring. The facility is operational 24-hours seven days a week with seven (7) offices provided
for a rotating staff of eighteen (18). The average number of staff per shif~ is six (6), depending on the
activity.
The subject properVd has direct access to South Enterprize Parkway, designated as a local street,
but design as a rural arterial. South Enterprize Parkway can accommodate the limited traffic this type of
facility may generate due to occupants not owning or driving a vehicle. Directly north of the proposed
facility are business and office uses within the "I-2" District and 300 feet further north is a senior adult care
home in a "B4" District. South and west of the subject property is undeveloped land zoned with an "1-2"
Dislrict. The east rear property line of the subject property borders a drainage easement and undeveloped
"R-lB" property. A 6-foot standard screening fence will be required along the rear property line of the
subject property due to its residential adjacency. The applicant has indicated that in addition to the required
rear fence, side fencing is planned for the facility. The proposed "B4" District allows for less intense uses
than the "I-2" District while complimenting one another.
The Westside Area Development Plan's adopted future land use map reco~,encls the area to
develop with industrial uses that capitalize on the freeway and state highway access. The "B-4" District is
consistent with the Plan's recommended land use because the subject property is within thc 100 South
Padre Subdivision where a mixture of"1-2" District and "B-4" District uses exist.
There were 10 notices mailed to property owners within 200-foot radius of which none were
received in favor or in opposition.

Commissioner Pusley asked whether the owner was aware that if the applicant understood that the
"I-2" District allows several uses that may not be consistent with his proposed use. Mr. Saldafia answered
in the affmllative.
Motion by Salazar, seconded by Smith, to forward a recommendation of approval. Motion passed
with Berlanga and Mires being absent.

FUTURE COUNCIL ACTION: Adopting the final assessment roll (tentative date March 2003).
BACKGROUND: The area along Cliff Maus from F.M. 665 (Old Brownsville Road) to just south of
Rockford Road serves the West Oso Independent School District and is adjacent to a single family
residential neighborhood, business district and apartment house district. The deteriorated condition
of the public infrastructure consists of street pavement in poor condition, roadside ditches that
provide poor drainage, and limited sidewalks that ara not ADA compliant. The utility water and
wastewater lines are old and in need of replacement.
West Oso lSD has recently constructed a new elementary school in this area and infrastructure
improvements are necessary to improve the traffic flow to the school and help ensure the safety of
the children walking to school. Utility work will be accomplished pdor to reconstruction of the street
so that street and drainage work need not be disturbed in the future for utility replacement
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The proposed project consists of 1,400 linear feet of 42-foot back-to-
back pavement, widening to 52-foot back to back pavement at the intersection with F.M. 665 (Old
Brownsville Road), sidewalks, driveways, 1,820 linear feet of storm sewer and storm outfall
structure, 1,490 linear feet of sanitary sewer and 1,513 linear feet of water line together with all
appurtenances as shown on the plans and called for in the specifications.
CONTRACT BIDS: The preliminary assessment roll is based on bid proposals received for the
project on Wednesday, Apdl 24, 2002. The project consists of a Base Bid and one Additive
Alternate. Six (6) bid proposals were received; and the base bids (only) ranged from $685,062.00
to $911,475.73. The Engineer's construction estimate is $693,937.
The bid proposal submitted by Waychoff Construction, Inc. is considered non-responsive due failure
to submit a bid security. This did not affect the ranking of the priority bid order though. Hunt
Contractors, Ltd. was the lowest responsive bidder at $685,062.00. Therefore, the City's consultant,
Naismith Engineering, Inc. and City staff recommend that based on Iow bid and past satisfactory
experience, a construction contract be awarded to Hunt Contractors, Ltd. for the Cliff Maus Street
Improvements Project in the amount of $685,062.
CONTRACT TERMS: The contract specifies that the project will be completed in 170 calendar days
with completion anticipated by the end of February 2003.
FUNDING: Funds to finance the proposed project are available in the FY 2001-2002 Street, Storm
Water, Wastewater, and Water Capital Improvement Program.

CLOSING THE PUBLIC HEARING ON PROPOSED ASSESSMENTS FOR
IMPROVEMENTS TO THE FOLLOWING HIGHWAY IN CORPUS
CHRISTI, NUECES COUNTY, TEXAS:
CLIFF MAUS ROAD, PHASE IA, FROM F.M. 665 (OLD BROWNSVILLE
ROAD) TO JUST SOUTH OF ROCKFORD ROAD
IMPOSING ASSESSMENTS TOTALING $38,189.68 AGAINST
PROPERTY ABUTTING THE IMPROVEMENTS, AFFECTED RAILWAYS,
AND PROPERTY AND RAILWAY OWNERS; FIXING CORRESPONDING
LIENS ON PROPERTY AND CHARGES AGAINST PROPERTY OWNERS;
PROVIDING FOR SUBSEQUENT ADJUSTMENT OF ASSESSMENT
AMOUNTS AND THE CORRESPONDING LIENS AND CHARGES BASED
ON AS-BUILT CONDITIONS; SPECIFYING ASSESSMENT PAYMENT
TERMS AND LIEN ENFORCEMENT MEASURES; AND DECLARING AN
EMERGENCY.
In its Resolution No.024866, passed on May 14, 2002, the city council determined that it was
necessary to improve and ordered the improvement of the following highway in Corpus Christi,
Nueces County, Texas:
Cliff Maus Road, Phase 1 A, from F.M. 665 (Old Brownsville Road) to just south of
Rockford Road
(collectively, the "Cliff Maus Road, Phase 1, Street Improvements Project") (the "Project"). In
that resolution, the city council also noted that street, curb, gutter, and sidewalk improvements
were to be paid for partly by the city and partly by assessments. Driveway improvements were to
be paid for entirely by assessments.
On November 26, 1996, the city council passed Resolution No. 022767, which specified
rules which apply to the city street improvement assessment process (the "Assessment Process
Rules Resolution"). These roles concerned assessment hearing notice and the assessment hearing
itself.
In Resolution No.024867, passed on May 14, 2002, the city council scheduled a public
hearing on proposed assessments for the Cliff Maus Road, Phase 1, Street Improvements
Project. The city council directed that hearing notice be published and mailed in accordance with
the Assessment Process Rules Resolution. Thereafter, notice was published on the following
dates: June 3, 2002, June 10, 2002, and June 17, 2002. Written notice was sent via certified mail
to owners of property abutting the proposed improvements, and owners of affected railways, if
any, on June 27, 2002.
H:~LEG-DIR\j ohn \OKDINANCE\CIose Pub. Hrg, Cliff Maus Dr..wpd 1
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS:
SECTION 1. During the July 16, 2002 city council meeting, a public hearing was held
concerning proposed assessments for the Cliff Maus Road, Phase 1, Street Improvements
Project. The city council considered:
written testimony by the city's director of engineering services and a city-retained
real estate appraiser. A copy of the appraiser's written testimony is attached as
Exhibit A;
testimony, if any, by owners of property abutting the proposed improvements and
their representatives;
C. testimony, if any, by owners of affected railways and their representatives;
additional testimony, if any, by the director of engineering services, other
members of city staff, and a city-retained real estate appraiser; and
E. other testimony and evidence, if any.
After consideration of all testimony and other evidence, the assessment hearing is closed.
SECTION 2. Proposed assessments for each property abutting proposed improvements and for
affected railway property, if any, are listed in Exhibit B. These assessments have been calculated
according to the requirements of the Code of Ordinances, City of Corpus Christi (the "Corpus
Christi Code") Section 49-2 1 and Texas Transportation Code Chapter 313.
The front-foot rule was applied unless that would have resulted in injustice or inequality.
In those cases, however, the city council has applied special rates or made other equitable
adjustments to the assessments, all considering the:
special benefit the property and the owner receive in enhanced value to the
property;
B. equities of the owners; and
adjustment of the apportionment to produce a substantial equality of benefits
received and burdens imposed.
SECTION 3. The city council determines that the assessment on each property listed in
Exhibit B is just and equitable and does not exceed the special benefit in enhanced value which
that property and its owner will receive by construction of the proposed improvements.
H:~LEG-DIR\john\OP, DINANCE~Close Pub. Hrg. Cliff Maus Dr..wpd 2
SECTION 4. The assessments listed in Exhibit B are adopted and fixed as a lien on the
property and a personal liability and charge against the property owner. This includes any
property which is in the area between, under, or extending two feet outside a railway's tracks,
double tracks, turn outs, or switches.
SECTION 5. The director of engineering services or his designee is authorized to adjust
these assessments and the corresponding liens and charges without further city council action if it
is determined after completion of the proposed improvements that the amount of property
actually improved is either greater or less than the amount utilized for purposes of calculating the
assessment. Under those circumstances, an adjustment may be made to ensure that the
assessment for each property corresponds to as-built conditions. The adjustment will be made
using the same assessment method (front-foot role, special rate, other equitable adjustmen0
which was used to calculate the assessment listed in Exhibit B.
It is intended that these adjustments will not be substantial in nature. Thus, they will not
trigger any statutory requirement for the city council to hold a new assessment hearing to impose
revised assessments.
SECTION 6. These assessments have been imposed atter due consideration of all
testimony and other evidence. They include any appropriate equitable adjustments. They also
reflect the correction of any errors, inaccuracies, or irregularities noted at the public hearing. All
protests against or objections to the assessments or to the contract for the improvements, other
than as reflected in Exhibit B, are denied.
SECTION 7. In accordance with Corpus Christi Code Section 49-21, a property owner
may pay an assessment as follows:
Any property owner against whom and against whose property an assessment has
been imposed may pay the whole assessment, without interest, within thirty (30)
days after completion and acceptance of the improvements by the city.
Altematively, an assessment may be paid in 120 or fewer monthly installments.
The first installment will be payable within thirty (30) days after completion and
acceptance of the improvements by the city. Installments and accrued interest will
be due each month thereafter until the assessment is paid.
Alternatively, an assessment may be paid in 10 or fewer annual installments. The
first installment will be payable within thirty (30) days after completion and
acceptance of the improvements by the city. One installment and accrued interest
will be due each year thereafter until the assessment is paid.
H:~LEG~DIR\john\OP~DINAlqCI~Clos¢ Pab. Hrg. Cliff Maus Dt..wpd 3
SECTION 8. The interest rate on assessments will be the greater of:
A. eight (8) percent per annum; or
B. the interest rate paid by the city on its most recently issued general obligation
bonds.
Assessment installments may be paid at any time before maturity by paying the principal
and accrued interest. If a property owner does not timely pay an assessment indebtedness or any
part thereof, then the whole indebtedness remaining unpaid will, at the option of the city,
immediately mature and become payable without notice, demand, or presentment for payment.
SECTION 9. These assessment liens are first and prior liens on the property affected.
They are superior to any other lien or claim other than one for county, school district, or
municipal ad valorem taxes. The liens date from May 14, 2002, the date when the Corpus Christi
City Council ordered the Cliff Maus Road, Phase 1, Street Improvements Project.
SECTION 10. A lien against property or the personal liability of a property owner that
arises from an assessment under this ordinance may be enforced by suit or sale of the property
assessed in the manner provided by law for sale of property for municipal ad valorem taxes.
Further, the assessments may be collected along with interest, expenses of collection, and
reasonable attorneys' fees.
SECTION 11. That upon written request of the Mayor or five Council members, copy
attached, to find and declare an emergency because of the need for immediate action necessary
for the efficient and effective administration of city affairs, such finding of an emergency is made
and declared requiring suspension of the charter rule as to consideration and voting upon
ordinances at two regular meetings so that this ordinance is passed and shall take effect upon first
reading as an emergency measure this the day of ., 2002.

CITY ENGINEER'S STATEMENT
FROM OLD BROWNSVILLI; ROAD TO SOUTH OF ROCKFORD DRIVF
My name is Angel R. Escobar. I am the City Engineer for the City of Corpus Christi and have
served in this capacity for the last 26 months and as Assistant City Engineer for the last one
hundred twenty months (120) months.
I am a Professional Engineer, licensed by the State of Texas since 1977. I have over 24 years of
experience in design of construction and estimating the costs thereof.
I am familiar with this project which encompasses:
Cliff Maus Ddve from Old Brownsville Road to south of Rockford Drive
The proposed project consists of 1,400 linear feet of 42-foot back-to-back pavement, widening to
52-foot back to back pavement at the intersection with F.M. 665 (Old Brownsville Road), sidewalks,
driveways, 1,820 linear feet of storm sewer and storm outfall structure, 1,490 linear feet of sanitary
sewer and 1,513 linear feet of water line together with all appurtenances as shown on the plans
and called for in the specifications.
Funds to finance the project are available in the FY 2001-2002 Street, Storm Water, Wastewater,
and Water Capital Improvement Program.
Prior to this hearing, I had an estimate of project costs prepared, and it compared favorably with
the bids received. In my opinion, the costs ara true and accurate. This project is estimated to start
in August 2002 with completion in February 2003.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
AGENDA ITEM: ADOPTING ORDINANCE AFFECTING PARTICIPATION
OF C[I'Y EMPLOYEES IN THE TEXAS MUNICIPAL RETIREMENT SYSTEM
GRANTING THE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS AUTHORIZED BY SECTION
854.202 (G) OF TITLE 8, TEXAS GOVERNMENT CODE, AS AMENDED, TO
PROVIDE ELIGIBILITY FOR RETIREMENT WITH 20 YEARS OF SERVICE
CREDIT AT ANY AGE; PRESCRIBING THE EFFECTIVE DATE FOR THE
ORDINANACE; ALLOWING FOR A PUBLIC HEARING; AND PROVIDING
FOR SEVERANCE.
ISSUE: As part of the two-year negotiated collective bargaining agreement
between the City of Corpus Christi and the Corpus Christi Police Officers'
Association, the City has agreed to adopt an Ordinance with the Texas Municipal
Retirement System (TMRS) to provide for retirement eligibility at any age with 20
years of service effective August 1, 2002. This Ordinance applies to all eligible
City employees except Firefighters who have their pension benefits through the
Firemen's Relief and Retirement Fund.
BACKGROUND: The agreement between the City of Corpus Christi and the
Corpus Christi Police Officers' Association adopted November 26, 2001, provides
that: "On or before August 1, 2002, the City shall adopt a twenty (20) year
retirement option."
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACT'rON: The TMRS Act requires the City to hold a
public hearing pursuant to the notice provisions of the Texas Open Records Act,
Chapter 551 of the Texas Government Code. City Council is requested to adopt
this Ordinance to enable implementation of the negotiated Police Collective
Bargaining Agreement.
FUNDING: TMRS has prepared an actuarial study of the cost for the City to
adopt the 20-year provision effective August 1, 2002. The City's contribution
rate will change from 11.51% to 11.67%, an increase of .16%, for the remainder
of calendar year 2002. Effective January 1, 2003, the City's contribution rate will
be 11.75%. Attachment ! explains the components of the contribution rate.

ATTACHMENT I
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Under the Texas Municipal Retirement System Act (TMRS) that governs TMRS,
the City's Contribution Rate is annually actuarially determined. The Contribution
Rate is composed of three components:
Normal Cost (the portion of the City's contribution rate that funds the
adopted matching ratio)
The Normal Cost Portion of the City's Contribution Rate is impacted by
changes in the number of members, amount of compensation, increased
age of contributing members, phase in of cost assumptions, cost due to 5-
year vesting, and other actuarial factors.
Prior Service (the portion of the rate for Prior Updated Service Credits; and
Annuity Tncreases)
The Prior Service Portion of the City's Contribution Rate is impacted by
changes in payroll experience and historical trends; actuarial gains or
losses (the difference bet~veen actual events compared to actuarial
assumptions); phase-in of increases due to changes of actuarial
assumption; 5-year vesting cost; and other actuarial factors.
Retiree Annuity Adjustments (the portion based on a specific percentage
of the increase in the Consumer Price index over a designated 12 month
period)
Since 1986 the City had designated 40% of the increase in the Consumer
Price Index for retiree annuity adjustments. Beginning in 2001, the State
Legislature revised the percentage options available to cities from
between 30% and 70% in increments of 10%, to a choice of 30%, 50%,
or 70%. Effective January 1, 2001, the adjustment was increased by
Ordinance from 40% to 50% of the increase in the Consumer Price ]Index.
The current collective bargaining agreement for Police requires a 50%
adjustment.
Updated Service Credit: Undated Service Credit uses a member's average
monthly salary over a recent three-year period immediately prior to the study
year, and recalculates the member's retirement credit as if the member had
always earned that salary and made deposits, matched by the City, on the basis
of that average monthly salary.
DESCRZP'rZON OF TIqRS RETZREiVlENT PLAN:
Employees (excluding Firefighters) are covered by TIVlRS for pension benefits.
The City's program currently includes the following provisions:
An employee deposit rate of five per cent
Actuarially determined City contribution
5-year vesting
Survivor benefits for vested employees
Occupational disability retirement options
Hilitary buy-back for vested employees
100% updated service credits
Increases adjusted to 50% of the change in the Consumer Price Index for
retirees

PROVIDING FOR SEVERANCE.
ISSUE: The Compensation & Classification Project is the City Council's third priority
established in FY 2001-2002 under Improvement in Delivery of Basic Services, New
Priority initiative and issue #3, Compensation Study.
Implementation will accomplish the following objectives:
~ Replace the City's aging, obsolete system;
~ Enable the City to attract and retain qualified employees;
~ Support reengineering efforts for the Departments of Water, Wastewater, Storm
Water, Gas, Streets, Solid Waste Services, and the Park Maintenance Division
through development and implementation of skill-based pay systems as funded in
the budget for FY02-03;
> Provide solutions for citywide compensation issues such as, internal equity of jobs
within designated pay grade levels;
~ Design competitive pay plans;
~ Provide the Council with a five year affordable phased-in implementation plan;
Implementation of the citywide Compensation and Classification Project requires the
repealing of previous classification and compensation ordinances covering the City's
outdated system and adoption of the City's new Compensation and Classification System
provisions and their codification in the Code of Ordinances. Changes include:
Adoption of a new City Employee Classification and Compensation System and
provisions for administration to maintain the internal equity and external
competitiveness;
Reorganization into the following pay plans:
o Pay Plan 900 (FLSA positions eligible for overtime)
o Pay Plan 700 (Information Technology)
o Pay Plan 600 (FLSA positions exempt from overtime)
o Pay Plan 500 (Legal/Attorney Pay Plan)
o Pay Plan 400 (Executive Pay Plan)
Pay Plan 300 (Police and Fire Managerial Positions, specifically Police
Commander and Assistant Fire Chief positions, previously assigned to the
repealed Managerial Group Pay Plan)
o Pay Plan 200 (Temporary/Part-Time Pay Structure)
Authorization for the City Manager to create, modify, and discontinue positions as
necessary to provide customer services, place those positions in the appropriate
pay plan established by Ordinance, reclassify positions to preserve equity, and
maintain a current listing of positions in the Human Resources Department;
Redefinition of the "Classified Service" based on the new pay structures so that
professional, administrative, managerial, and other comparable positions are
moved to Pay Plan 600 through the job evaluation process, and exempted from the
rules and regulations of the Civil Service Board. Positions assigned to Pay Plan
600 are at will and serve at the pleasure of the City Manager;
Granting the City Manager authority to grant up to six (6) months of severance pay
to any City employee who has been involuntarily terminated when determined by
the City Manager to be in the best interest of the City. This was previously granted
for the Executive and Managerial Group Pay Plans; and
Reorganizing provisions for more efficient administration of the new System.
BACKGROUND:
The City Council approved a motion on July 24, 2001, to execute a professional services
agreement with The Waters Consulting Group, Inc., Dallas, Texas, for the development
and implementation of an innovative citywide compensation and classification system for
all City employees except Police and Fire personnel covered by collective bargaining
agreements. During the City Council Meeting on May 14, 2002, the Council provided
direction to the Waters Consulting Group, Inc. and City Staff to proceed to develop the
recommended phased-in implementation plan and rules for administration of the new
Classification & Compensation System. Attachment I provides more background
information on the implementation option supported by the City Council in the May 14,
2002, Council meeting.
FUNDING: The estimated cost for year one of this proposed five-year implementation plan is
$3,018,524 which has been incorporated into the City's budget for FY 2002-2003. That
includes $1,988,360 budgeted in the General Fund. During year one, pay structures will be
brought up to 90% of the labor market. Subsequent proposals will be submitted to the City
Council through the budget process in years two through five with City classifications reaching
100% of labor market at the end of year five.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Approval of the Ordinance as submitted.
Cynthia C. Garcia
Director of Human Resources
H:~RES-DIR~SHARON~Preject Code of Ordinances 02-03~Final Project Agenda Presentation & Code Adoption 7 16 02.DOC
ATTACHMENT I
Proposed Compensation Implementation Option:
The implementation cost to bring City positions, excluding Police and Fire
positions covered by collective bargaining agreements, to 100% of market in
one fiscal year is not affordable. Based on a market mix of 75% Public Sector
Organizations and 25% Private Sector companies, the overall cost of Phase I
implementation in one step to 100.0% of market is $12.9 million. The General
Fund portion of this figure is approximately $8 million. The average
relationship of City positions to the market is approximately 86%. This
confirms the original expectation at the beginning of this Project that the
implementation of Phase I would need to be staggered and phased in over
multiple fiscal years to be affordable.
City Staff is recommending an affordable phased-in option with the following
features:
> 75% Public/25%Private--Market Rate
Pay objective at 90.0% of Labor Market in first year of
implementation
~> 5-year Implementation Plan
Year 1 =90.0%
Year2= 93.0%
Year3= 96.0%
Year4= 98.0%
Year 5 =100.0%
2.25% Assumed Market Movement Per Fiscal Year
Employees whose individual salaries would fall below the minimums of the
new pay ranges for their new grade assignment would be brought up to the
minimum pay rate for that grade level. In addition, all other City employees
would receive a pay increase in the transition to the new pay structures in FY
2002-2003 ranging from 1% to 2.3% based on their years of service and their
location in the new salary range. The pay range designation (new grade level)
will be determined by the number of points a job classification received
through the weighted point-factor job evaluation process and where those
points fell in the range of points assigned to each pay grade. Pay grades are
established based on a combination of point ranges and labor market data.
This option is affordable for FY 02-03. The continued affordability in fiscal
years two through five will be reassessed each year and adjusted based on
the City's economic situation and changes in the labor market. For the City to
meet its goal of being competitive in the attraction and retention of a smaller
number of multi-skilled employees, it will be necessary to work toward bringing
the City's pay structures to a competitive level that is maintained through
structure adjustments equal to changes in the market. This five-year phased
in plan provides a viable option for reaching this goal.
Communication of Results of Compensation and
Classification Project: to City Employees:
Communication will be key to ensuring that City employees understand the
results of the Project. This communication effort will emphasize the individual
employee's concern of how his/her pay rate and benefits package will be
changed.
An extensive communication blitz is planned to ensure that individual City
employees understand the new compensation and classification system.
Upon completion of Phase I of the Compensation and Classification Project,
and concurrently with its effective implementation date, each City employee
who is covered by this Project will receive an individualized Transition Plan
that explains how he/she will be transitioned from the old classification plan
and salary ranges into the new structures. Presentations are planned for City
employees in all departments to summarize the methodology used in the
Project, explain the point-based classification system, introduce the new salary
structures, explain revised rules for salary advancement, and respond to their
questions.
ENHANCEMENTS TO BENEFIT PACKAGE
The City of Corpus Christi has 7 holidays per year compared to
organizations surveyed. Approximately 82% of surveyed respondents grant
more than 7 holidays per year with the actual number granted ranging from
8 to 12. In response to this disparity, it is proposed that several additional
personal leave days be granted. Personal Leave Days are non-cumulative

In 2002, the City completed a comprehensive review of its employment system, which had not
been thoroughly reviewed in decades. The existing system had developed substantial internal
inequalities among classifications, and the pay and benefits structure was competitively
inadequate in many areas. A consultant was hired to assist the City in developing a new system
which would be internally consistent and would make the City competitive in the job market.
The consultant, in consultation with a City Staff Committee, conducted market and comparative
studies and developed a phased-in implementation plan. The City Council adopted the first
phase of the plan in its 2002 budget. It is the policy of the City, consistent with sound budgetary
management, to complete the phased plan and thereafter to continuously manage the system to
maintain internal equity and to attract and retain competent employees in the market. The City
Manager is directed to manage the personnel system to achieve these goals.

1, Increase rates for water, wastewater, and gas by 5%.
2. WATER
· Incorporate wording to the ordinance to reflect the change to calculating the Raw Water

on an annual basis was implemented last year. The frequency and size of fluctuations in
the RWCA have been reduced by this change.
· Remove requirement of filing the RWCA calculation procedure with the City Secretary, and
instead include details within the ordinance of what is included in the calculation.

made on an annual basis, the ordinance outlines making the calculation based on budgeted
expenditures, offsetting revenues, and water consumption, An annualtrue-up is included in
each year's calculation to account for under or over-collection from the previous year
caused by differences between budget and actual expenses and offsetting revenues, and
budget and actual billings,
3. GAS
· Add a provision to the definition of Purchased Gas Adjustment (PGA) to include additional
fees and charges paid to a supplier to obtain gas. With the current contract for gas
provided by National Energy and Trade, Inc., the City is paying a "Reservation Fee" which
covers the cost of three regulator stations, a pipeline interconnect, transportation charges,
and reserved capacity on the Pantex line. Because this was not provided foras PGA costs
in the previous ordinance, the expense is being capitalized. With this ordinance revision,
future fees and expenses necessary to receive gas may now be included in PGA.
4. WASTEWATER
Inside City Limits Single-Family Residential customers pay wastewater rates based on the average
of their water consumption during the three winter months of November, December, and January.
This is "Winter Averaging.m The following revisions to Winter Averaging are recommended to refine
the way in which it is implemented:
· Change the period to which each Winter Average applies from July through June to August
through July to coincide with rate changes.
· Add a provision to recalculate the Interim Average (winter average consumption used for
customers who have not yet established their own Winter Average) annually. The current
ordinance states an actual value, but this value can change each year as consumption
changes.
· Delete the provision which disallows recalculating Winter Averages in years in which water
conservation measures are in effect. Water conservation measures are frequently in effect,
but the need to recalculate Winter Averages still exists. The change to the method of
calculating base revenues to a three-year average will dampen any effect of lowered
consumption in water conservation years.
An administrative change in rates is calculated each year to ensure that Wastewater
revenues do not drop due to changes in aggregate water consumption. This rate change is
r'.~l~.~Jl~tm"l h,v r,~m?~rin~ "h~$e m~vem~e$" to the new-Winter Average consumption,~nd
adjusting the Wastewater rates so that no decrease is realized in future revenues.
Revisions to the way in which this is calculated are proposed:
1. Change the base revenues from the pdor year's actual Inside City Limits Single-
Family Residential Wastewater revenue to a three-year average. Prior year's
actual revenue will be adjusted for any subsequent rate increases. This change
will protect against any unforeseen drops in one year's revenue from affecting
all future year's administrative rate changes.
2. Change the period of actual revenues used for the base from May through April
to June through May. This allows the most current revenues available at the
time of calculating the administrative rate change to be used.

establish monthly wastewater service charges for customers
based upon their average monthly water consumption. The
customer must receive wastewater service at one location
during the three consecutive reading periods in order to
establish a '~vinter average".

reading periods commencing with the customer's first
reading period on or after December 1 of each year.
c. The following method will be used to calculate a
customer's "winter average".
1. Add the three winter months water
consumption to get total water consumption.
"2. Divide three month usage amount by 3 to
get winter average usage. Such winter
average usage shall be limited to a maximum
of 25,000 gallons.

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
Date July 12, 2002
AGENDA ITEM: An ordinance amending the code of ordinances, City of Corpus Christi,
Chapter 13, Buildings; Construction and Related Operations; Housing and Housing
Premises Standards, to increase the technical construction code fee schedules; providing
for severance; providing an effective date of September 1, 2002; and providing for
publication.
ISSUE: The periodic adjustment of the fee schedules is necessary to keep up with
the rising costs associated with providing municipal services, especially to the
development community. These rising costs are directly associated with the
improved services including creation of the Department of Development Services
and the One-Stop-Developers Center, training and certifications for staff, purchasing
of up-to-date hardware and software, adoption of new technical construction codes,
and the need for improved communications to provide real time permit and
inspection results.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Adoption or amendments to the technical
construction codes or the supporting fee schedules require City Council approval.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: None
FUNDING: No impact on the budget or funding requirements.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council
approve the proposed adjustments to the fee schedule in Chapter 1 Administration.
Review by the Development Community: The Technical Appeals and Advisory
Boards, the various trade organizations (i.e. the Builders Association Corpus Christi
Area, the Associated General Contractors, and the Associated Builders and
Contractors), and the Developers Advisory Group have reviewed, discussed, and
approve of the proposed changes to how the City is preparing to serve the
development community. ~-
Arthur N. Sosa, Architect
Director of Development Services (Acting)
BACKGROUNDINFORMATION
The City Council, during a retreat decided that controlled and sustained development
in the City of Corpus Christi is an important initiative for this and future city councils.
Continued growth in the city serves to increase the tax base and extends the city's
utility, road, and parks infrastructure. Sustained growth also serves to improve the
quality of life for the citizens of Corpus Christi.
The City Manager responded to this mandate by creating the Department of
Development Services, purchasing a building that will house all developer sensitive
departments, supporting changes in the way the city provides services to the-
development community, and promoting outreach efforts to continually improve on
these services.
Along with the move to a single more convenient location, the city will provide
improved services that will include training and cross-certification for plans
examiners and inspectors which will lead to a more efficient flow of these
procedures, the purchase of up-to-date computer hardware and software that will
further improve permitting, inspections, and reporting of inspection results, adoption
of new up-to-date technical construction codes that are similar to those used by the
other jurisdictions around the United States, and improved communication
capabilities with the inspectors.
Such improved services are designed to reduce the time required to get plan
reviews, permits, and releases of utilities and electrical service. More efficient
reporting procedures will provide for the filing of "real time" inspection results and will
allow contractors to schedule sub-contractors more effectively.
It should be noted that during the last legislative session, the house and the senate
passed laws that require the city to adopt and administer more stringent codes and
standards designed to enhance our mission to protect the public's health, safety and
general welfare. These laws require the city to develop safeguards to ensure the
following:
That plans have been registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and
Regulation, Elimination of Architectural Barriers Program.
That renovated and demolished buildings have undergone an asbestos
survey by engineers or persons certified and deemed qualified by the Texas
Department of Health.
· That residential and commercial buildings are designed and constructed to in
compliance with the standards set by the Texas Department of Insurance for
the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association.
· The adoption of model energy codes to ensure a reduction of consumption
and improved air quality.
· The adoption of the International Residential Code as the state residential
code.
A number of these state directed mandates require certification by the city inspection
staff to perform these specialized inspections. Additionally, the city is actively
promoting the adoption of accessibility standards and programs that ensure
compliance of projects beneath statutory levels.
The city last raised fees in July of 1999 when we adopted the 1997 Standard
Building Codes. It was determined at that time through the use of surveys that
among the ten largest cities in Texas, Corpus Christi as the fifth largest city in Texas
ranks approximately eighth from the top in permit fees for services. This means that
at least six to seven other Texas cities, both larger and smaller charge higher fees
for building permits, inspections and related services. During my discussions with
other Directors, Building Officials, contractors, and architects, the services and
service delivery timelines currently offered by the city of Corpus Christi are some of
the best in terms of turnaround time and efficiency. Proposed improvements to be
implemented by the Department of Development Services will enhance the services
currently offered. We expect that these services will improve our standing compared
to other cities. It should be noted that this proposed fee increase will not cause us to
be near the top in comparison to other cities.
It is our expectation that the improved services will promote development from
within, but also will garner us attention from other developers around the state.
Conversations with builders in surrounding areas (the valley and San Antonio)
indicate that there is an interest in moving to Corpus Christi to start up operations.
Additional outreach efforts on the part of the city and staffwill include training of the
design community and assisting the Regional Economic Development Corporation
by serving as ambassadors to inform others of our successes.
CHAPTER 1 ADMINISTRATION: The fee schedule in Chapter 1 Administration is
being adjusted upward by 5% and will enable the city to provide the aforementioned
services and promote development with an ultimate goal of increasing revenues,
extending the city's infrastructure, and improving the quality of life offered to our
citizens.

CiTY COUNCIL
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
July 16, 2002
AGENDA ITEM:
An ordinance adopting the City of Corpus Christi Budget for the ensuing fiscal year beginning
August 1, 2002; to be filed with the County Clerk; appropriating monies as provided in said
budget; and providing for severance.
ISSUE:
The City Charter requires the City Council adopt the annual operating budget appropriating
proposed revenues and expenditures prior to August 1st of each year.
BACKGROUND;
The proposed FY 2002-03 Operating Budget was submitted to the Council on May 28, 2002.
Subsequently, the Council has received four presentations covering various departments, funds
and issues. In addition, the Council has been furnished with memorandums and reports
addressing specific questions or concerns.
At its July 9th Budget Public Hearing, the Council directed Staff to prepare an amendment to
fund enhanced marketing efforts by the Convention and Visitors Bureau in lieu of paying
Columbus Ships Exhibit debt. This $250,000 amendment and support material are attached for
Council consideration.
In addition, the Council directed the staff to further analyze funding for a new Arts and Cultural
Festival sponsored by the Arts and Cultural Commission, and possibly increase funding for
library operations. Please see the attached memo from DanWhitworth, Parks and Recreation
Director, regarding Festival funding. The revised $15,000 level of funding would simply have
to be covered by unreserved fund balance. Rather than establish this funding as a separate line
item, it is recommended that the Arts Grants/Projects line item be increased by this amount.
With regard to additional library funding, it has been determined that adequate funds have been
allocated for current authorized staffing. Still, in light of Council's desire to perhaps enhance
library funding, the staff would recommend increasing the current book allocation via any final
adjustments that might occur with receipt of the certified tax roll prior to final budget adoption
on July 23~'
FUTURE COUNCIL ACTION: The Ordinance adopting the FY 2002-03 Operating Budget will
be considered on its Second Reading on July 23, 2002. Final amendments will likely be
required pending receipt of the certified tax roll on or about July 19, 2002.
RECOMMENDATION: Approval of Ordinance as submitted, as well as any amendments
desired by Council.

Subject: Funding for Festival of the Arts 2002-2003
The Arts and Cultural Commission (ACC) plan to sponsor a Festival of the Arts program
that will run from March 22, 2003 to April 6, 2003. An inclusive group of performance
organizations will be spotlighted to showcase the diversity of artistic and cultural
expression Corpus Christi has to offer.
The ACC, will utilize the Festival of the Arts to encourage residents and tourists alike to
take advantage of the multitude of talents our city has to offer. In order to reach out to
tourists, the Commission would like to request an additional $15,000 from the Hotel
Occupancy Fund. The funds will be utilized specifically to draw audience participation
from San Antonio, Houston, Austin, Victoria, and the Valley. Newspaper
advertisements, billboards, and inclusion in magazine event calendars will be obta'med
with the requested funding. The Festival of the Arts advertising campaign will coordinate
with the Convention Visitors Bureau in order to take advantage of their resources. The
ACC also has a fund raising committee assigned to secure money to supplement the
requested $15,000.
The Festival of the Arts will assist in making Corpus Christi known as a highly desirable
venue for quality cultural programs. The ACC is continuing to enlist interested
participants for the event. To date, however, the following organizations have agreed to
participate: Chamber Music Society, Chopin Society, Corpus Christi Concert Ballet,
Corpus Christi Symphony, Edgeworks Film Festival, Corpus Christi Art Center
ArtsFest,Alcorta's Flameno and Folklorico Reveue, Corpus Christi Ballet, Jazz Festival,

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
July 16, 2002
BACKGROUND:
The owners of Jangee, Inc., Mr. and Mrs. Dan Rodriguez of Corpus Christi, approached airport
staff with the desire to provide shuttle service at the Corpus Chdsti International Airport. The airport
staff worked with Jangee, Inc. to provide for a mutually beneficial lease agreement to provide
shuttle service for the city and surrounding communities. Gross Revenue from the service will be
comprised of the concessionaire's business conducted at the Airport, which includes revenue
received from passengers, hotel courtesy vehicle contracts, attraction ticket sales, airline baggage
contracts and aidine personnel courtesy delivery contracts. The concessionaire shall pay Corpus
Christi International Airport six percent of their gross revenue per month. Based upon
concessionaire projections, this could mean $60,000 annually to the Airport.
Jangee, Inc. will offer their services to and from the airport including travel downtown, city wide and
surrounding communities. Their routes have been broken into Zones ranging from A through N and
Zones 1 and 10 for surrounding areas. Fares for Zones A through N range from $8 to $14; fares
for Zones 1 through 10 range from $10 through $115.
Jangee, Inc. proposes to begin operation at Corpus Christi International Airport promptly, pending
City Council approval. The shuttle service will have two 15-seat passenger vans in operation at
Corpus Christi International Airport. Upon completion of the new Airport Terminal in October, the
shuttle service will have a total of three 15-seat passenger vans in operation at the Airport.
