Mayor Neal called the meeting to order in the Council Chambers of City Hall. The
invocation was delivered by Napoleon Johnson of Faith Mission Outreach and the Pledge of
Allegiance to the United States flag was led by Council Member Chesney. City Secretary Chapa
called the roll and verified that the necessary quorum of the Council and the requi~ed charter officem
were present to conduct the meeting. Mayor Neal called for approval of the minutes of the regular
Council meeting of October 21, 2003. A motion was made and passed to approve the minutes as
presented.
Mayor Neal referred to Item 2, a special discussion on Storm Water Capital Projects Funding
Options. Mr. Mark McDaniel, Executive Director of Support Services, provided background
information on the existing storm water system and its components. He also discussed previous
Council actions regarding drainage funding.
Mr. McDaniel stated that the total amount needed for existing Storm Water CIP projects was
approximately $90 million. He said the operation and maintenance and permit compliance for these
projects equaled about $7.7 million per year. Mr. McDaniel provided information on funding
approaches in other cities, a number of which used a drainage fee or used a drainage district.
Mr. McDaniel discussed the following funding approaches: continue fimding through
combined utilities (water) rate adjustments; formation of a drainage district; general obligation
bonds/bond election (Bond 2004 and beyond); adoption of impact fees; and adoption of drainage
utility/fee. With regard to the funding through combined utilities, Mr. McDaniel noted that this
option would require a two percent increase, generating $1,627,000 per year in revenue and $19.5
million in project capacity.
In reference to the new drainage district option, Mr. McDaniel stated that the district would
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
October 28, 2003 - Page 2
encompass the city limits and the industrial district only. He said the district could raise
approximately $2,124,000 a year in revenue for every two cents in property tax. He also stated the
revenues could support a $25.5 million project capacity.
With regard to the general obligation bonds option, Mr. McDaniel stated that they would
fund capital improvements only. He said the bonds could provide approximately $1,789,000 a year
in revenue for every two cents on the property tax rate, and the funds could support a $21.5 million
project capacity.
In reference to the impact fees option, Mr. McDaniel stated that this option was not being
recommended for the following reasons: only tends to address new development; oriented towards
very high construction growth; and difficult to administer.
Finally, Mr. McDaniel stated that staff was recommending the fifth option, a new drainage
utility fee. He said the fee could be used to fund capital improvements only. He stated that the fee
would generate approximately $1,765,000 to $1,820,000 per year in revenue depending on the fee
option used. The revenues could support a $21.2 million to $21.8 million project capacity.
Regarding the drainage utility fee options, Mr. McDaniel said they were based on the
following: 5A - meter connections; 5B - parcel/lot size; 5C - Land use/Zoning (residential vs.
commercial); or 5D - combination of 5A and 5B. He said option 5A would be based on the number
of meters and would be billed monthly based on the following rates: residential single family -
$1.00; duplex - $3.00; and commercial - $10.00. This option would generate $1,774,956 in annual
revenue (equivalent of approximately two percent on combined utility rates). He said option 5B
would be based on parcel/lot size within the city limits and would be structured on a sliding scale,
depending on the size of the property. He said option 5B would generate $1,820,112 in annual
revenue. Option 5C would base the fee on land use/zoning for each property. The fee structure
would be monthly and would generate approximately $1,764,634 in annual revenue.
Finally, Mr. McDaniel said staff was recommending option 5D, a combination of options
5A and 5B, because it appeared to be the least burdensome to the citizens in terms of cost and should
be easier to administer and maintain. This fee structure would be billed on a monthly basis. He said
residential/duplex customers would be charged $1.20 per meter connection. Commercial and other
entities would be charged between $3.00 and $10.00, depending on lot size, with a cap at more than
40,000 square feet. Mr. McDaniel stated that this option was estimated to generate $1,772,160 in
annual revenue.
Mr. McDaniel discussed the implementation process for option 5D. He said residential
customers would be billed on a monthly basis through their utility bill. Commercial customers,
however, would be billed either on a monthly utility bill or on a separate bill, depending on property
ownership. He said only developed or improved property was subject to the fee. Finally, Mr.
McDaniel stated the fee would be capped at $10.00 per month on a commercial property and $1.20
per month on residential property.
Mr. McDaniel said the next steps in the process would involve the adoption of the capital
budget and long-range CIP in December 2003. He said the proposed new fee would be effective
August 1,2004 in the FY 2004-05 budget cycle. He said staff's suggestion was to consider this fee
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
October 28, 2003 - Page 3
as an option, as a supplement to the current funding provided for in the budget. Mr. McDaniel
emphasized that the key would be to remain consistent with the recommendations made by the
Storm Water Advisory Committee, but allow for more stability in a long-term funding source for
storm water.
Mayor Neal commented that the Council has established $25 million in utility funding in this
year's budget through utility rate plus another $10 million. He asked Mr. McDaniel if the $20
million in revenues generated by this proposed fee would be in addition to this amount. Mr.
McDaniel replied affirmatively. He said staffwas working on the rate model for the capital budget
now. Once it was completed, he said staff would have a more complete picture regarding the
different funding scenarios.
Mayor Neal expressed his concern that vacant lots were not subject to fees and that there was
no way to capture revenues for agricultural run-off into the storm water system in staff's proposed
plan. He said he wanted staff to look into ways to include these aspects into the plan and then
present them for the Council's consideration. Mr. Marlo Tapia, Assistant Director of Capital
Projects, replied that the data for vacant lots was available and staff could include it for the next
discussion.
Council Member Chesney asked if staff had arrived at a specific figure needed for bond
participation to fund storm water drainage projects. Mr. McDaniel replied that the needs for street
improvements and other facilities were so tremendous that staffwas not recommending the inclusion
of the drainage improvements in Bond 2004 at this time. He said it could make sense later, however,
once more prioritization of projects takes place.
Council Member Chesney remarked that the Council was in the difficult position of
addressing a long-term problem in a short period of time, which meant that the solution would be
expensive. He wondered why staffwas not recommending the inclusion of drainage improvements
in the next bond election since the recommended funding options would be insufficient to fund all
the necessary improvements. Mr. Chesney noted that the public had identified drainage
improvements as a major priority. Mr. McDaniel answered that it was an issue of what could be
done in a certain period of time. He said the problems with drainage and street conditions had
developed over a long period of time, between 30 to 50 years. He said it was impossible to fix these
problems overnight. Thus, rather than look at funding the improvements in a four-year budget cycle,
it may be more prudent to think of them in an eight-year or twelve-year budget cycle. Mr. McDaniel
said that a plan needed to be in place that would not be too onerous for the rate payer and the tax
payer. However, he said that staff could formulate a more aggressive plan if the Council wished.
Council Member Chesney asked if staff had developed a plan that would fund all the
necessary improvements, whether it was short-term or long-term. Mr. McDaniel replied that this
was the goal, but he did not think the problems could be addressed within a ten-year time frame.
City Manager Noe added that no matter how much the city wanted to address the drainage problems,
we would reach a practical point beyond which we could not execute them because of limitations
on staffand the local construction community's resources. Mr. Chesney reiterated his concern that
staff create a long-term plan for funding all the necessary improvements. Mr. McDaniel answered
that staffwould have a better idea of the tree financial picture within the next few months, as part
of the capital budget process. At that point, staff would be able to assess the needs and formulate
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
October 28, 2003 - Page 4
a plan. He said he understood staff's current plan to allocate an additional one to two percent per
year in utility rate increases would not fund the necessary improvements to an acceptable level.
Thus, he was recommending this supplemental funding source today for Council's consideration.
He said staffwould look at incorporating the Mayor's suggestions to adjust the fees.
Council Member Kinnison asked if when the Storm Water Advisory Committee had made
its recommendations, the only plan in effect at that time was to allocate $1 million per year for ten
years. Mr. McDaniel replied affirmatively, but said that an additional $4 million was added in 2002.
Mr. Kinnison remarked that the city had gone from a ten-year plan to fund $10 million in drainage
improvements to a ten-year plan to fund $80 million in improvements today, which was remarkable.
He did say, however, that there were practical limits on what could be achieved within this time
frame because of the potential financial burden on the taxpayers. He expressed concerns about how
the proposed fees were structured with regards to who was bearing the costs. He felt that the
proposed fee structure was too accommodating to commercial property owners. He asked that staff
reformulate the plan to make it more fair.
Council Member Noyola agreed with Mr. Kinnison's concern regarding the fee structure for
commercial property owners. He also expressed his concern that the drainage problems in the
residential areas not be eclipsed by the highly publicized problems in the downtown area.
Council Member Kelly asked staffto explain the term "level of protection". City Engineer
Angel Escobar replied that "level of protection" referred to how much water the city's s~'eets could
handle during a storm before causing substantial damage. He said the recommendations staff had
brought to the Council earlier in the year showed that the city needed to start designing its major
systems to a 100-year storm level of protection. In response to Mr. Kelly's question, Mr. Escobar
said that staff would be bringing back more information on plans for including new residential
developments in the proposed development regulations.
Mr. Kelly also expressed concem that the city was outstripping the public's willingness to
pay for these improvements. Mr. McDaniel replied that the drainage problems were not going away
and needed to be addressed in some manner.
Mayor Neal called for a brief recess to present proclamations.
The Council returned from recess. Mayor Neal called for consideration of the consent
agenda (Items 3 - 10). City Secretary Chapa announced that Council Member Noyola was abstaining
from the vote and discussion on Items 7 and 10 and that Council Member Chesney was abstaining
from the vote and discussion on Item 6. Council members requested that Items 8 and 9 be discussed.
There were no comments from the audience. A motion was made and passed to approve Items 3
through 10, constituting the consent agenda, except for Items 8 and 9, which were pulled for
individual consideration. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:

Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
October 28, 2003 - Page 9
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 15, an appeal by Mr. Joe McComb regarding his plat
at Los Encinos Industrial Sites, Block 1, Lot 1. Mr. Michael Gunning, Director of Planning,
reported that at their September 24, 2003 meeting, the Planning Commission tabled the plat to the
October 8 meeting to allow staff an opportunity to speak with Mr. McComb about the street
dedication and acreage fee requirements. On October 8, 2003, Mr. Gunning stated that the Planning
Commission voted to deny the plat by a 4 to 3 vote. Mr. Gunning said Mr. McComb was appealing
the decision to the Council.
Mr. Gunning reported that in the appeal of his plat, Mr. McComb has maintained the
following three issues: 1) the subject property is legally platted and a replat is not required; 2)
opposed to the dedication of 7.5 feet of right-of-way for Greenwood Drive; and 3) opposed to
payment of the required water and wastewater acreage fees.
With regard to the platting issue, Mr. Gunning provided a detailed history of the property.
He said that based on the city legal counsel's review referencing state law, the Platting Ordinance,
and the City Charter, the subject property was clearly the remainder of a portion of the platted
Bohemian Colony Lands filed for record in the Nueces County Clerk's office on June 6, 1909.
Therefore, Mr. Gunning stated that a plat of the subject property was required.
Regarding the right-of-way dedication, Mr. Gunning explained that this requirement
originates from the adoption of the Corpus Christi Urban Transportation Plan in March 2003. The
plan increased the Greenwood Drive right-of-way fi'om 80 feet to 95 feet. He stated that the city's
practice was to take the required street dedications equally offboth sides of the street. Thus, Mr.
Gunning stated that Mr. McComb's plat was required to dedicate 7.5 feet. Mr. Gunning stated that
the adherence to required street dedications per the adopted Urban Transportation Plan was critical
to the city's ability to obtain fight-of-way for future street widening improvements to increase road
capacities. He expressed his concern that he did not want to set a precedent for other developers to
submit similar appeals on any required dedication without a public hearing to amend the
Transportation Plan.
Finally, regarding the acreage fees, Mr. Gunning explained that the acreage fees were
collected from the developer at the time of platting based on the plat acreage or number of lots,
whichever is greater. He stated that the fees were put into trust accounts, to be used exclusively for
reimbursement of developers costs for installation of water and sanitary sewer line extensions. Mr.
Gunning emphasized that waiving the acreage fees for developers could set a precedent that could
potentially jeopardize the Trust Fund balances which developers rely upon for reimbursement of
water and sanitary sewer line extensions. Without this funding source, Mr. Gunning said
development projects would possibly be postponed until such time the city could fund water and
sanitary sewer fund infrastructure through a bond program. Mr. Gunning stated that Mr. McComb
was requesting that the Council waive the required acreage fees totaling $7,852 of which $3,678 was
for water and $4,174 for Wastewater. He concluded that staff felt that the acreage fee system was
a fair and equitable process that provided for the extension of water and wastewater lines with
private sector dollars.
Mayor Neal asked for clarification on what action staffwas asking the Council to take on
this matter. Senior Assistant City Attorney Doyle Curtis replied that the Council was being asked
to deny Mr. McComb's appeal in all three respects: 1) deny his contention that a replat is not
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
October 28, 2003 - Page 10
required; 2) deny the waiver of the acreage fees; and 3) deny the right to exclude the 7.5 dedication
of right-of-way. Mayor Neal asked what actions would be available to Mr. McComb if the Council
denied his appeal. He specifically asked if Mr. McComb had to wait a year before he could reopen
the case. Mr. Curtis replied negatively, saying that Mr. McComb could bring the case back to the
Planning Commission, comply with the requirements and ask for approval.
Mr. Joe McComb presented his case before the Council. Prior to his presentation, he stated
that he had not contacted any members of the City Council related to this agenda item. He also
stated that the ordinances referred to by Mr. Gunning were not acted on while he was serving on the
City Council.
Mr. McComb provided background information on his purchase and development of the
property to date. He asserted that the property was platted and did not require a replat, and presented
what he felt was evidence to that effect. Regarding the dedication of the 7.5 feet of right-of-way,
Mr. McComb stated that his position was to trade out the acreage fees for this requirement. He did
not feel that the acreage fees would benefit him in any way since he had already paid for the sewer
and water improvements on the property himself.
An extensive discussion ensued regarding all three of Mr. McComb' s assertions. There were
no comments fi-om the audience. A motion was made, seconded and passed to deny Mr. McComb's
appeal on all three parts requested. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as
follows:
15. MOTION NO. 2003-391
Motion to deny the appeal filed by Joe McComb on all three parts relating to the request for
(1) plat approval, (2) waiver of right-of-way dedication and (3) waiver of acreage fees
regarding Plat No. C0903100-NP44, Los Encinos Industrial Sites, Block 1, Lot 1 (Final -
3.543 acres), located at the southwest comer of Greenwood Drive and Holly Road.
The foregoing motion was passed and approved by the following vote: Neal, Chesney,
Colmenero, Cooper, Garrett, Kelly, Kinnison, and Noyola, voting "Aye"; Scott was absent.
Mayor Neal referred to Item 14, a presentation regarding the Juvenile Assessment Center
(JAC) Annual Report. Ms. Mariah Boone, Superintendent of the Juvenile Assessment Center, stated
that the goal of the Juvenile Assessment Center was to prevent delinquency through early
intervention with case management services. She provided a number of statistics on the patterns of
behavior of juvenile offenders. She stated that 15 percent of all juvenile offenders commit 75
percent of all violent offenses nationally. Between the ages of 9 and 12, youth begin to commit
status offenses such as truancy and curfew violation.
Ms. Boone reported that JAC services included comprehensive case management to 3,388
at-risk youth and their families since it opened in September 1999. She said that the program has
gained the attention of the Office of Juvenile and Delinquency Prevention in Washington, D.C. and
has been used as an international model. She said the center was one of three projects highlighted
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
October 28, 2003 - Page 11
in the City of Corpus Clu'isti's winning proposal to be designated an All-America City.
Ms. Boone stated that the Juvenile Assessment Center was funded in part by the Corpus
Christi Crime Control and Prevention District and by a Title V Delinquency Prevention Grant. She
said the grant provided the funds needed to hire a Municipal Juvenile Judge and four case managers
in addition to the two case managers funded through the Crime Control District.
Ms. Boone provided statistics on attendance outcomes for FY 2003. She said the Juvenile
Assessment Center returned over 836 children to school for a total of 50,123 Average Daily
Attendance (ADA)-eligible days, keeping them off the streets and saving local school districts
$1,408,957 in ADA funding.
Ms. Boone reported that 82 percent of the youth processed through the JAC committed no
additional offenses of any kind, however minor, after JAC intervention. She said 90 percent of the
youth processed through the JAC committed no delinquent offenses after JAC intervention. She also
said that the JAC processed only 87 repeat oftenders out of 1,280 intakes, for a recidivism rate of
only 8.1 percent.
Ms. Boone stated that the JAC's most important partner in preventing delinquency was the
Municipal Juvenile Court. Judge Deanie King, Municipal Juvenile Court Judge, rePorted that the
Municipal Juvenile Court was opened in October 2001. She said that the court was one of the first
in the nation to combine these two elements, and certainly one of the first in the state. Judge King
said her primary goal today was to communicate to the Council that the city could not afford to be
complacent about this program. She told the Council that many of the social service agencies that
the JAC and Juvenile Municipal Court partner with are also facing the same budget crunches. She
said the reduction in funds at the congressional level has greatly impacted the availability of
services.
Judge King explained that the court ordem status offenders and other early, pre-delinquent
offenders to be assessed and/or enter the case management program at JAC. She said that the
Municipal Court obtained a Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grant (JAIBG) to complete
funding for the Municipal Juvenile Court. She said through a research-based, data driven, outcome-
focused approach, the JAC has been a tremendous benefit to the families in the community.
Judge King discussed the upcoming challenges for the Juvenile Assessment Center. She
explained that the Title V funding stream, totaling $250,000, ceases to exist after July 2004. She
noted that the Title V funding currently paid her salary and the salaries of two case managers. She
stated that the JAIBG funding stream would be reduced by 25 percent. Judge King also stated that
many of the valuable programs that partner with JAC are closing their doors or are no longer able
to provide services due to cuts in other Federal and State programs.
Ms. Boone stated that the Juvenile Assessment Center was looking for ways to continue to
fund the Title V-funded case manager positions and to find and support services that can still help
poor, at-risk children in the community. Ms. Boone announced that on November 22, 2003, a Kids
Helping Kids Fundraising Dance would be held at the Corpus Christi Gym from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.
for middle school children.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
October 28, 2003 - Page 12
Council Member Garrett was impressed with the low recidivism rate. He asked if there was
any stipulation in the Title V funding which provided that the city would assume the funding if it
ceased to exist. City Manager Noe replied that he did not know, but he said that this was an
important program that the city was going to place at a high priority regardless of what happens with
the grant funding. Mr. Garrett stated he wanted to ensure that the Juvenile Assessment Center would
be able to continue to provide services in any way possible.
Council Member Cooper commented favorably on the center's low recidivism rate. She
asked if there were any statistics available to compare our center with others in the nation. Judge
King answered that there weren't any statistics available because this program is the first of its kind.
Council Member Kiunison asked what resources Judge King thought she would need to do
even better. Judge King replied that she would need more case managers and, ideally, a mentor for
every child. She said she would like to see every child who comes through her court assigned a case
manager. She said she envisioned a two-tiered system which provided more intensive intervention
for those who needed it and less intensive for those who didn't. Council Member Kinnison
expressed his view that the Juvenile Assessment Center could be a way to address this community's
long-term problem with school drop-outs. He stated that the community may be well-served to
funnel more resources into this program to achieve more results in reducing the problems facing
our youth. Judge King added that working with elementary school children may be the way to reach
kids early before attendance issues become a habit. She said that ideally, elementary schools should
have their own truant officers, but now they must share resources with the high schools. She said
that the court does not get these cases now for a number of reasons.
Council Member Kinnison spoke in support of the program's vision and its results, saying
that he hoped that the center would continue to press the community to find the funding and the
resources needed to continue the program. He encouraged CCISD and other like organizations to
consider partnering with the Juvenile Assessment Center to tackle the problems facing our youth.
Council Member Noyola spoke in support of the center as well. He asked if there was a way
to coordinate efforts with local elementary schools to speak with the children at the beginning of the
school year about available resources and about the repercussions of skipping school, focusing on
those schools with extensive problems. Judge King replied that she would be happy to speak with
CCISD about doing this.
Mayor Neal asked City Manager Noe to begin planning on how the city was going to
continue funding the program through the end of this fiscal year, and how to continue the funding
in subsequent fiscal years.
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 16 regarding the automated meter reading pilot
project. Mr. Ogilvie Gericke, Director of Municipal Information Systems, introduced Brian
Anderson with PTI/Ram Technologies, Captain Leonard Scott, and Chris Minton with Rand
Technologies, who were working with him closely on this project. Mayor Neal commented that the
Council was looking forward to the implementation and results of this project.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
October 28, 2003 - Page 13
Council Member Noyola stated that he would like to receive more feedback from the
employees and department heads to see if automation would increase efficiency and truly save the
city money. Mr. Gericke replied that this information would be included in the evaluation process
and would be brought to the Council for their review.
Council Member Kelly asked for a time line on how the project would be phased in if the
pilot program was successful. He was especially concerned about personnel issues, since the project
would potentially achieve a portion of its savings in this area. Mr. Gericke replied that the project
could be implemented over five to seven years. Based on feedback the Council had provided earlier,
Mr. Gericke replied that staff was working on the five-year scenario to expedite implementation.
Mr. Kelly asked if this time frame would be sufficient to account for the loss of workforce through
natural attrition. City Manager Noe replied affirmatively, saying that this area had traditionally high
levels of turnover because it was a very difficult job. Mr. Kelly asked if there would be other
opportunities in the city for those individuals who like the j ob. City Manager Noe answered that the
meter reading process could not be completely automated, so there would always be a need for
individuals to work in this area. He also said there were private sector opportunities for individuals
in this field because AEP still does manual meter reading and contracts out for this service.
There were no comments from the audience. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for
their votes as follows:
16.a. ORDINANCE NO. 025543
Ordinance appropriating $546,500 in unappropriated interest from the Water Capital

The foregoing motion was passed and approved with the following vote: Neal, Chesney,
Cooper, Garrett, Kelly, Kinnison, and Noyola, voting "Aye"; Colmenero and Scott were

Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 17 regarding the desalination demonstration project.
Assistant City Manager Ron Massey explained that this was the next step in the city's desal
initiative under the Governor's Desal Program. He stated that the Texas Water Development Board
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
October 28, 2003 - Page 14
had awarded the city a $500,000 grant to determine the feasibility of developing a large-scale
desalination demonstration project. He said the city was contributing an in-kind match of $230,000
for a total project cost of $730,000. On September 16, 2003, Mr. Massey stated that the Texas
Water Development Board had considered and approved the city's application for the $500,000
grant. He said staffwas asking the Council to allow the city to accept and appropriate the grant
funding.
Regarding Item 18, Mr. Massey said staffneeded to finish the work required by the facility
planning grant. He said the work would require an evaluation process, generating a report
addressing issues like the planned customer base for the facility, water source options, and other
items. To be able to accomplish this work, Mr. Massey said staffwas also proposing to amend an
existing contract with Turner Collie and Braden Inc., approved by the Council on February 11,2003,
to assist with the desal project.
Mayor Neal asked for the time line on this project. Mr. Massey replied that staffneeded to
submit a draft report on July 31, 2004 and a final report on September 30, 2004. Mayor Neal asked
for information on the rest of the process. Mr. Mark Lowry, Principal Investigator for Turner Collie
and Braden Inc., answered that the Water Development Board had to make a report to the legislature
and to the Governor's office by the end of December 2004. He said the board will compare all three
of the plans submitted and make their recommendations at that time.
There were no comments from the audience. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for
their votes as follows:
17. a. RESOLUTION NO. 025544
Resolution authorizing the City Manager or his designee to accept a Regional Facility
Planning Grant in the amount of $500,000 and execute a contract with the Texas Water
Development Board for the development of a Regional Facility Plan for the Planning Area,
including a Large-Scale Seawater Desalination Demonstration Project in Corpus Christi.
The foregoing resolution was passed and approved with the following vote: Neal, Chesney,
Cooper, Garrett, Kelly, and Noyola, voting "Aye"; Colmenero, Kinnison and Scott were
absent.
17.b. ORDINANCE NO. 025545
Ordinance appropriating $500,000 from the Texas Water Development Board in the No.
1052 Water Grant Fund to develop a Regional FaciliW Plan for the Planning Area, including
a Large-Scale Seawater Desalination Demonstration Project.
An emergency was declared, and the foregoing ordinance was passed and approved with the
following vote: Neal, Chesney, Cooper, Garrett, Kelly, and Noyola, voting "Aye";
Colmenero, Kiunison and Scott were absent.

Collie and Braden, Inc. for the desalination demonstration project. There were no comments from
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
October 28, 2003 - Page 15
the audience or the Council. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:
18. MOTION NO. 2003-393
Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute Amendment No. 1 to an
engineering services contract with Turner, Collie & Braden, Inc., of Houston, Texas in an
amount not to exceed $500,000 for a Regional Water Facility Plan, including a Large-Scale
Seawater Desalination Demonstration Project (Barney Davis Demonstration Desalination
Plant).
The foregoing motion was passed and approved with the following vote: Neal, Chesney,
Colmenero, Cooper, Garrett, Kelly, Kinnison, andNoyola, voting "Aye"; Kinnison and Scott
were absent.
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 19 regarding a contract with Freese & Nichols Inc.
for the Garwood Pipeline. Mr. Massey stated that the contract was developed using a phased
approach reflecting major decision points. Mr. Russell Gibson, Project Manager with Freese &
Nichols, provided a presentation on the seven phases comprising the contract. He said the seven
phases were as follows: Phase 1 - Screening study of delivery options; Phase 2 - Detailed Study of
Delivery Options; Phase 3 - Pipeline Route Study; Phase 4 - Pipeline Surveying, Easement
Acquisition and Permitting; Phase 5 - Pipeline Topographic Survey and Preliminary Design; Phase
6 - Final Design Bid; and Phase 7 - Bid, Award and Construction.
Mayor Neal asked if Mr. Gibson anticipated completing the final report by April 2004. Mr.
Gibson replied affirmatively. Mayor Neal asked for more information on the timing for the rest of
the project. Mr. Kevin Stowers, Assistant Director of Engineering Services, replied that the timing
would be fairly complex because it would depend on which options were chosen. He said that the
phased approach was selected in part because it allowed the city and the consultant to have a better
definition of the scope of services and associated fee requirements for each phase. Mayor Neal
asked what the anticipated time line would be to complete the project. Mr. Gibson answered that
in a perfect world, the final design and permitting phase would take two years and the bid, award
and construction would take an additional two years.
Mayor Neal remarked that there was a concern within the community that the city was losing
sight of the Garwood Pipeline because of its plans for desalination. He stated that the city needed
to be actively engaged in bringing the water into the system so that competing entities would not
think the city has lost interest in this water source. He said that if the city could develop a detailed
plan for the Garwood Pipeline, it would serve as evidence that the city had a serious interest. City
Manager Noe commented that staff met with representatives from the LCRA today to discuss the
city's intention of protecting its interests in the Garwood water in the long nm. He said it was an
excellent meeting and staff was looking forward to continuing a dialogue with them. Council
Member Garrett stated that the Port Industries had asked him to convey that they are strong
supporters of this project.

October 28, 2003 - Page 17
Council Member Noyola asked City Manager Noe to respond to a letter he had received from
Mr. Wilkerson regarding problems with the sale of a number of boats he had purchased at auction
from the city. He asked when traffic lights were going to be installed at Cliff Maus and Old
Brownsville Road. City Engineer Angel Escobar replied that the lights were scheduled to be
completely installed in the next 45 days. Council Member Noyola also wanted to welcome the
residents of the Casa Manana Apartments who were displaced due to the tornado that had hit the city
a year ago. He said that of the 45 residents who were displaced, 35 residents returned to the
complex while the remaining 10 residents were placed in altemate housing.
Council Member Cooper stated that she had received a number of complaints from
individuals saying that Ocean House was still having functions, despite the city's directive that this
was a violation of the ordinance. City Manager Noe replied that staff had also received complaints
and would follow-up. Ms. Cooper remarked that Ocean House was continually violating the
Council's directive.
Council Member Colmenero also mentioned the town hall meeting at 6:00 p.m. at Crockett
Elementary on November 3. He said he had seen a drive-by shooting occur a few houses away from
Crockett Elementary at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday. He told City Manager Noe that he had a number of
ideas on how to address the problem. He discussed "pol cams", enhancement of Directed Patrol and
Neighborhood Watch programs, and asking the JET unit for information on gang activity as possible
solutions to address the problem. City Manager Noe said he would schedule a presentation on
Directed Patrol and JET with regards to gang activity. Mr. Colmenero also asked for information
on the expansion of international and domestic service to the Corpus Christi Airport.
Council Member Chesney thanked staff for their quick response to Mr. Lamont Taylor's
concerns at a previous meeting. He said he and Mr. Kelly had attended a meeting at Oveal Williams
Senior Center. He commented that it would be a good idea to provide a brief summary of the
meeting for the rest of the Council.
Mayor Neal commented that the manholes on Airline Road between Saratoga and S.P.I.D.
were three inches lower than the pavement. He asked staff to look into the problem. Council
Member Garrett asked staff to look into a problem with the bus pads on Staples Street between
Gollihar Road and S.P.I.D.
Mayor Neal called for petitions from the audience. Ms. Dee Huber, 1311 15~ Street, spoke
regarding her concerns about the effects on area businesses of closing off parts of Shoreline
Boulevard to construct a park. Ms. Priscilla Leal, 4738 Cheryl, spoke regarding the progress of

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
City Council Action Date: November 11, 2003
AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance appropriating $733,900 from the Reserve for Golf
Course Design in Golf Fund 4690 for improvements to Gabe Lozano Sr. Golf
Course and the Oso Beach Municipal Golf Course; amending Ordinance No.
025394 which adopted the FY 2003-2004 operating budget by increasing
appropriations by $733,900; and declaring an emergency.
ISSUE: Staff is proceeding on the Council's request to use the surcharge funds to begin
work on the improvements identified in the National Golf Foundation Study.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: The City Council must approve all appropriations.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: The City Council passed the fiscal year 03-04 budget in
July of 2003.
FUNDING: Funding is in place but not appropriated.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council
appropriate $733,900 from the Golf Fund 4690 from the green fee surcharge reserve for
capital improvements to pay for improvements to the golf courses,
David Ondrias, Acting Director
Park and Recreation Department
Attachments: Background Information
BACKGROUNDINFORMATION
NGF Consulting determined that although the market could possibly sustain a third municipal golf
course, that sustenance would be at the expense of the existing two courses, NGF Consulting
recommended against building a third golf course and, instead, focus on determining capital
improvements needed to improve the existing municipal courses. NGF Consulting prepared a
prioritized and full-cost capital improvement list for each of the existing municipal courses.
Based on that list of capital improvements at the two courses, Council was presented with a plan of
action to use the current surcharge balance to begin the improvements. The amount used this fiscal
year for surcharge improvements is $733,900. This total includes improvements at Oso Golf Course
of $195,900 and $538,000 at Gabe Lozano Golf Course.
Of the total amount, $133,000 will be used to hire additional temporary help to complete all projects
so that ongoing maintenance requirements at the golf courses will not be sacrificed. $564,900 of the
work will be subcontracted for 4 projects because of the intense labor and equipment requirements.
Materials used by golf course staff to complete the other projects will total $34,000, including $3,000
worth of irrigation materials. $2,000 of overtime for golf course staff will be required to complete the
drainage installation project at Oso Golf Course.

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
November 11, 2003
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution recognizing the public necessity of acquiring utility and
construction easements for the Southside Water Transmission Main project, Phases
4,4a,and 5, for utility and other municipal purposes in connection with said project; and
authorizing acquisition by means of negotiations or eminent domain proceedings by the
City of Corpus Christi or its agents in acquiring said easements.
ISSUE: Continuation of the Southside Water Transmission Main is underway for Phases
4, 4a, and 5 as shown on Exhibit C. These phases will extend the water main from the
South Staples Pumping Plant northeasterly to Holly Road and southeasterly to Laguna
Shores Road. On December 17, 2002, City Council approved an engineering services
contract with Urban Engineering for permitting, design and acquisition of the required right-
of-way. Negotiations for this project will soon commence and the possibility of
condemnation exists. A list of the landowners along the proposed route is attached as
Exhibit D. Due to the critical acquisition schedule involved and in lieu of submitting
individual resolutions as condemnations are needed, a single City Council approval is
sought in this project for all potential condemnations; authorizing the City of Corpus Christi
or its agents to proceed where negotiations have reached an impasse.
FUNDING: No funding is necessary at this time.
RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the resolutiun as presented.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
SUBJECT: Southside Water Transmission Main, Phases 4, 4a, and 5
Resolution for Acquisition of Easements
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: See Exhibit B
FUTURE COUNCIL ACTION: Council will be required to:
1. authorize contracts and expenditure of funds from the Water Capital Projects Fund
(Commercial Paper) which exceed $25,000; and
2. authorize the payment of the upcoming Special Commissioners' Awards for the
completion of these project phases.
OVERVIEW:
BackRround: The Council-approved 1997 Water Distribution System Master Plan Update
recommended a new Southside Transmission Main from the O.N. Stevens Water
Treatment Plant (ONSWTP) to a new pumping plant on South Staples. This new line will
alleviate inadequate water supply and pressure problems experienced during peak
demand periods in Pressure Zone 2, the area southeast of Everhart Road. In addition, the
transmission main is necessary to increase the hydraulic capacity of the delivery system
from the ONSWTP to southeast Corpus Christi and eventually to Padre Island. It will be
the pdmary supply source for the Staples Street Pumping Plant. Phase 1 of the project is
complete with Phases 2, 2a, and 3 near completion. These new phases, as shown on
Exhibit C, will extend the transmission main to Holly Road and east to Laguna Shores
Road.
Due to the peak work load of the City's Land Acquisition staff with Bond Issue 2000, CIP,
Airport Expansion and CDBG projects, it has become necessary to outsource the
negotiations and acquisition process for this project. The City has entered into a contract
with Urban Engineering which includes acquisit!on responsibilities.
Eminent Domain procedure: The City's standard procedure is to obtain City Council
approval to resort to eminent domain each time negotiations reach an impasse with a
landowner. Past projects required numerous council requests for condemnation. This
method of individual resolutions required added staff time and produced similar agenda
items for Council.
This agenda item proposes that Council provide a blanket approval for eminent domain
proceedings at the beginning of a project and in advance of any proposed condemnation
efforts. Negotiators will still make every effort to resolve acquisition through good faith
negotiations. Due to the critical nature of this waterline project and strict scheduling
requirements, approval of this resolution is sought.

BACKGROUNDINFORMATION
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project is a continuation of efforts to increase service provided to
the public and businesses dealing with the City. The need to improve operational efficiency of City
Departments that are presently scattered on several floors is one of the objectives of the project.
The completion of Development Center has made additional space available for the departments
remaining in City Hall. Architectural services are needed to ensure the allocated spaces and
interfaces optimize operations. The services will include an analysis of space needs and utilization.
The architectural contract is being phased to define the extent of remodeling and scope of the
project.
The project is intended to allow the reutilization of the space while minimizing the need to alter and
remodel spaces. The project will upgrade those areas that need painting, new floor covering, and
are subject to water intrusion. The HVAC distribution system which has reached the end of its
economic life will be upgraded with new digital controls, replacement of VAV boxes, valves, hoses
and other components as needed.
ARCHITECTURAL SELECTION: The City released a Letter of Notification for architectural
services, based on a previous Request for Qualifications. Dykema Architects, Inc. of Corpus Chdsti,
Texas was selected for negotiation. Dykema Architects have extensive space utilization experience.
A contract summary is attached. See E~ibit B.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
City Council Action Date: November 11, 2003
AGENDAITEM:
Item A. An ordinance appropriating $255,000 from the estimated program income
revenue in the No. 1066 Federal/State grants fund as State Fiscal Year 2003-2004
program income to fund environmental health, laboratory, and nursing services for the
period of September 1, 2003 through August 31, 2004.
ISSUE: The Health Department receives funding from the Texas Department of Health
(TDH) for various public health services. As a result of this support, fees that are charged
must be prorated to determine the percentage of revenues that were generated using
State/Federal funds. The State/Federal supported revenues are deemed Program Income
(PI). PI earned during the state fiscal year (September 1 - August 31) must be spent
during that year or returned to the state. PI earned is to be used to supplement local fund~
for public health services. Staff reviews actual earnings and projected earnings to
recommend an annual appropriation to cover expenditures. Expenditures have included
clerical positions in Environmental Health, Laboratory & Nursing, laboratory and nursing
supplies, communications equipment, and staff training. Planned expenditures for FY
2003-2004 includes salaries, fringe benefits, supplies, minor equipment, contractual
services, training, and computer equipment for the environmental health, laboratory, and
nursing programs. Attachment A reflects PI earnings for FY 2002-2003 and projected
earnings for FY 2003-2004 for a total appropriation request of $255,000. Budgeted
expenditures are indicated on Attachment B for all activities.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Authorize an appropriation of $255,000 for FY 2003-
2004 Program Income.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
city Council Action Date: 11-11-03
AGENDAITEM:
Item A: Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to accept a $1,000 grant from the
Coastal Bend Alliance for Youth (CBAY) to be used for counseling for youth receiving case
management sef~ces end for fundraising efforts to provide se~ices to youth served by the Juvenile
Assessment Center.
Item B: Ordinance appropriating $1,000 in the Fund 1067, Park and Recreation Grants Fund.
ISSUE: The Juvenile Assessment Center refers many of the youth that are on case management
to local non-profit agencies for counseling. Due to state and federal funding cuts, the amount of free
cour~eiing for poor youth and families in our community has been drastically reduced. While it is
hoped that this will be a short-term problem and that many of these programs will be reinstated in
the futura, there is an immediate need to be able to send cJients who cannot pay for counseling to
counseling in order to break the cycle of delinquency. To this end, the Juvenile Assessment Center
is attempting, with the help of the Coastal Bend Alliance for Youth, to raise some funds in order to
pay for counseling for youth on case management.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Authorize the City Manager or his designee to accept the
$1,000 grant and appropriate it in the Fund 1067 Park and Recreation Grants Fund.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: NA
FUNDING: $1,000 from the Coastal Bend Alliance for Youth.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that Council authorize the City

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
City Council Action Date: November 11, 2003
AGENDA ITEM:
Resolution authorizing the City Manager, or the City Manager's Designee, to submit a grant
application to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department in the amount of $500,000 for
construction of new three lane boat ramp in the northwest corner of the Cooper's Alley L-
Head; with a City match of $250,000 in the No. 3270 Seawall CIP Fund, and a total project
cost of $750,000.
ISSUE:
Authorization to submit a Texas Parks and Wildlife Grant application for $500,000 for
the construction of a new three (3) lane boat ramp in the northwest corner of the
Cooper's Alley L-Head.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION:
Authorization to submit a grant application to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Grant program
for $500,000 for the construction of a new three (3) lane boat ramp designed to improve
the safety and capacity of boaters in the Corpus Christi Marina.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
No previous council action has been taken in the construction of a new three (3) lane boat
ramp. However, Council has emphasized the importance of safety and improvements
along the shoreline and within the marina. The existing two (2) lane boat ramp located in
the southeast corner of Cooper's Alley is deteriorating and is not optimally located for the
prevailing winds.
FUNDING:
Funding is available from the Seawall CIP Fund for the $250,000 local match required by
the Texas Parks and Wildlife grant program. The abandonment of the old boat ramp has
been approved by Bond Counsel as an eligible expenditure under the Seawall Bulkhead
Restoration project. The $500,000 available from the state will allow the City to construct a
new boat ramp that offers increased safety and increased capacity.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION:
The Water/Shore Advisory Committee, at it's regular meeting on Thursday, November 6,
2003, approved a motion to submit this grant application for the relocation and construction
of this new three (3) lane boat ramp.
It is recommended that Council approve the resolutioJ3-as presented.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Additional Information:
The City Marina's boat ramp is currently scheduled for repair and renovation under the
Seawall Bulkhead Restoration Project. The current boat ramp was originally constructed in
1938. It is located in the Southeast quadrant of the Cooper's Alley L-Head, which makes it
very susceptible to the wind and elements. Its current location often makes it difficult for
boaters to launch their vessels into the marina. Further, the boat lanes are very narrow in
comparison to today's standards and are considered to be a safety risk when two or more
boaters attempt to launch simultaneously.
The Corpus Christi Marina is a popular tourist attraction for tourists and visitors, as well as
native Corpus Christians. Tourism in the Corpus Christi area generates approximately
10,790 jobs, $624.8 million in travel spending, and $57.7 million in tax receipts each year.
Approximately one hundred (100) vessels launch from the public boat ramp each week.
This number is expected to increase with the construction of the: · Multipurpose Arena;
· Professional Minor League Baseball Stadium; and
· Convention Center expansion and rehabilitation project.
All of these attractions are within a 5-mile radius of the marina and are expected to draw a
greater amount of tourists and boaters to the marina and the Corpus Christi area. Corpus
Christi currently enjoys several boating events each year such as the Power Boat Shoot
Out, which draws thousands of spectators along the Bayfront. The logistics of launching
several boats into the water at one time was very difficult. The increased capacity of the
boat ramp will not only increase boater safety at events such as this, but also increase the
possibility of drawing bigger boating events into the Corpus Christi area.
Project Description:
The project will require the issuance of a change order to the Seawall contract for the L and
T-heads Rehabilitation. That change order will result in the existing boat ramp located in
the southeast corner of the L-Head being abandoned and closed. This will result in new
sheet pile bulkhead and bulkhead cap being installed. The area behind (landside) of the
bulkhead will be filled. Surface improvements will include the installation of sidewalks,
pavement, parking and other improvements.
The proposed new boat ramp will be located on the northwest corner of the L-Head. It will
be configured as a three (3) lane boat ramp meeting modern design standards. This will
improve launching conditions in relation to the prevailing wind. Launching of multiple boats
at the same time will be facilitated. Launches can be accomplished at less risk of collision
and damage to vessels. The new location of the boat ramp will make the ramp more
accessible, increase capacity, and more importantly, increase the safety for visitors and
citizens alike.

Attachments: Background Information
BACKGROUNDINFORMATION
In 2003, the Corpus Christi Marina was the first marina in the state of Texas to be designated a Clean
Marina by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). This prestigious honor comes
with the responsibility to maintain a healthy and sanitary water quality standard within the marina.
Currently, the marina maintains a stationary sewage pump-out station that is the designated area for
sewage pump-out from visiting vessels or those anchored in the marina. The use of the sewage
pump-out station has had mixed results. It has helped contribute to the designation of "Clean
Marina" by the TCEQ.. However, there are vessels, which cannot adequately access the station due
to lack of training in navigation or for other reasons. These vessels then pump-out raw sewage into
the waters of the marina. While strict enforcement and vigilance by marina patrol has increased, the
fact remains that several vessels continue to dump sewage into the marina as evidenced by elevated
levels of bacteria in the monthly testing performed by the Health department. Furthermore, the
portable unit will be available to all marina tenants.
The portable unit will assist vessels that cannot adequately access the stationary pump-out station
and make the marina a mom boater friendly place to operate.
Our goal is to make the Corpus Christi Marina a safer, cleaner, and healthier body of water for all to
enjoy.

IV. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
The following states the investment objectives of the City, in order of priority:
A. Preservation and Safety of Principal
Investments of the City shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the
preservation of capital in the overall Investment Portfolio.
B. Liquidity
The City's Investment Portfolio must be structured in a mannerT which maintains
the liquidity necessary to pay obligations as they become due. Sufficient cash
flows must be maintained by rapidly depositing monies and timing
disbursements. Generally, Investments are matched to specific cash flow
requirements such as payrolls, construction drawdown schedules, debt service
Co
payments, and other payables, Liquidity is also achieved by investing in
Investments with active secondary markets or in Local Government Pools with
stable net asset values.
It is imperative that the Investment Portfolio and Excess Cash Balances be
protected with sufficient Collateral at a minimum of 102% of current market
values so that monies are available as needed.
Return on Investments
The City's Investment Portfolio shall be designed with the objective of regularly
exceeding the average yield of the following benchmarks in a manner consistent
with the principles of this policy described in IV.A and B.
Operating Funds - Six-Month Constant Maturity Index
Capital Improvement Funds - Three-Month Constant Maturity Index
Core Funds - One-Year Constant Maturity Index
Special Funds - Three-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Yield
However, it must be recognized that during a declining market, satisfying this
objective may not be practical until Investments mature and can be re-invested,
especially since preservation of capital is the first priority in the investment of
monies pursuant to this Policy.
For bond issues to which arbitrage restrictions apply, the primary objectives shall
be to obtain satisfactory market yields and to minimize the costs associated with
investing such monies.
Diversification
Diversification is required because of differing liquidity needs of the City and is
employed as a way to control risk. Diversification minimizes the dsk to the
overall Investment Portfolio of potential losses on individual Securities and
enhances the safety of the Investment Portfolio.
Through the solicitation of competitive proposals, the City shall allocate and
diversify its Investments through various Institutions. The following types of
Investments will be solicited from approved Institutions:
5.
6.
7.
U.S. Treasuries
U.S. Government Agencies
Repurchase Agreements - through a Third Party Safekeeping Institution
Agreement, which includes an approved primary dealer doing business in
Texas as required by the PFIA.
Public Funds Investments Pools - through participation agreements; and
Certificates of Deposit - through approved local banks.
Money Market Mutual Funds
Guaranteed Investment Contracts (for Bond Proceeds only)
The City recognizes that investment risks can result from default risk, credit
volatility risk, and market price risks due to various technical and fundamental
economic factors, and other complications, leading to temporary illiquidity.
To control market pdce risks, volatile Investments shall be avoided. To control
default risk, the only acceptable method of payment will be on a delivery versus
payment-basis for all transactions, except investment pool funds and repurchase
agreements.
Delivery versus Payment provides for payment to Institutions at the time the
Investments are recorded in book entry form at the City's Third Party
Safekeeping Institution, currently maintained at the Federal Reserve. For
certificates of deposit, sufficient Collateral at 102% of current market values must
be pledged to protect all City monies or monies under its control that exceed
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) coverage; the Collateral must be
safekept at a Third Party Safekeeping Institution not affiliated with the bank or
bank holding company providing the certificate of deposit.

guaranteed investment contract may be utilized only in connection with
the investment of bond proceeds. The maximum term of a guaranteed
investment contract shall not exceed the anticipated construction period
for the capital improvement, the construction of which is to be funded with
Bond Proceeds.
Weighted Average Maturity
In order to minimize risk of loss to the Investment Portfolio due to interest rate
fluctuations, Investment maturities will not exceed the anticipated cash flow
requirements of the Funds. Maturity guidelines by Fund are as follows:
The maximum term for any Investment other than Reserve Funds is three years.
The weighted averaged days to maturity shall be less than 365 days for

bond proceeds subject to yield restriction shall be invested
considering the anticipated cash flow requirements of the Capital
Improvement Funds.
Before an Investment can be made of bond proceeds from all bond
issues affected by the tax-exempt bond provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "IRC"), a careful yield analysis
must be performed to comply with the IRC. Also, an annual rebate
calculation must be performed to determine if the City is required to

Policy is amended to permit such investment.
C. Methods to Monitor Investment Market Price

from the Bloomberg system or the Tele-Rate system which is made available
through the City's authorized institutional brokers. The City may also obtain
market price information from other nationally recognized sources of financial
information such as the Wall Street Journal.
INVESTMENT MIX AND STRATEGIES
A. investment Mix
A minimum of 15% of the total Investment Portfolio shall be held in Investments
with maturity dates of 90 days or less for liquidity. U.S. Treasuries/Agencies may
be purchased for longer-term maturities (greater than one year) but shall not
exceed 40% of the total Investment Portfolio to preserve liquidity.
10
C=
Daily Investment reports shall specifically address whether stated Investment mix
requirements are being met. Unless approved by the Investment Advisory
Committee, the target percentages specified shall not be exceeded for temporary
periods greater than thirty (30) days without the Investment Officers taking
corrective action.
Strategies
Investment strategies for Operating Funds and Capital Improvement Funds have
as their primary objective the assurance that anticipated cash flows are matched
with adequate investment liquidity. The secondary objective is to create an
Investment Portfolio structure, which will experience minimal volatility during
economic cycles. To accomplish this strategy, the City will purchase high quality,
short-to-medium-term investments which will compliment each other.
To pay for anticipated disbursements, investments will be laddered to correspond
with the projected cash needs of the City. Some Investments are acquired on
the short end of the yield curve (90 days or less) to meet immediate cash needs.
^ few Investments are purchased on the intermediate part of the yield curve (1-3
years) to lock in higher interest rates when rates are projected to decline due to
the economic cycle of the economy. The dollar weighted average investment
maturity of 365 days or less will be calculated using the stated final maturity
dates of each investment.
Investment strategies for debt service funds shall have as the primary objective
the assurance of investment liquidity adequate to cover the debt service
obligations on the required payment date. Investments purchased shall not have
a stated final maturity date that exceeds the debt service payment date.
Investment strategies for debt service reserve funds shall have as the primary
objective the ability to generate a dependable revenue stream to the appropriate
debt service fund from investments with a Iow degree of volatility. In accordance
with the bond ordinance specific to an individual bond issue, which sets out the
maximum investment term, Investments should be of high quality, with short-to-
intermediate-term maturities.
Investment strategies for Special Purpose Funds will have as their primary
objective the assurance that anticipated cash flows are matched with adequate
Investment liquidity.
These investment portfolios shall include highly liquid investments to allow for
flexibility and unanticipated project outlays. The stated final maturity dates of
Investments held shall not exceed the estimated project completion date.
Achieving Investment Return Objectives
Investment selection shall be based on legality, appropriateness, liquidity, and
risk/return considerations. Monies designated for immediate expenditure should
be passively invested.
Passive investment provides for:
1. Liquidity to pay upcoming disbursements (payroll, debt service,
payments, payables, etc.)
VII.
2. Maximizing investment terms under the current budget; and
3. Structuring the Investment Portfolio on a "laddered" basis.
The remaining portion of the Investment Portfolio may be invested actively and
the reasons for doing so are:
Active investment provides for:
The ability to improve yields in the Investment Portfolio by riding the yield
curve during business cycle recovery and expansion pedods. Interest
rates on longer maturities typically exceed those on shorter maturities.
Therefore, longer maturities (that can be held to maturity, if necessary)
are purchased in anticipation of selling later at the same or lower interest
rate, improving the total return dudng the holding period.
The ability to improve market sector diversification by swapping out of
one investment into another for a better total return, to realign for
disbursement projections, or to extend or shorten maturity depending on
economic forecasts. The City Manager, or his designee, is required to
approve any investment that must be sold at a loss. All gains and losses
will be reported to the City Council and Investment Committee no less
frequently than on a quarterly basis.
RESPONSIBILITY AND CONTROLS

Government Finance Officers Association
Government Finance Officers Association of Texas

§ 2256.005. Investment Policies; Investment Strategies; Investment Officer
(a) The governing body of an investing entity shall adopt by rule, order, ordinance, or
resolution, as appropriate, a written investment policy regarding the investment of its
funds and funds under its control.
(b) The investment policies must:
(1) be written;
(2) primarily emphasize safety of principal and liquidity;
(3) address investment diversification, yield, and maturity and the quality and capability
of investment management; and
(4) include:
(A) a list of the types of authorized investments in which the investing entity's funds
may be invested;
(B) the maximum allowable stated maturity of any individual investment owned by the
entity;
(C) for pooled fund groups, the maximum dollar-weighted average maturity allowed
based on the stated maturity date for the portfolio;
(D) methods to monitor the market price of investments acquired with public funds;
and
(E) a requirement for settlement of all transactions, except investment pool funds and
mutual funds, on a delivery versus payment basis.
(c) The investment policies may provide that bids for certificates of deposit be solicited:
(1) orally;
(2) in writing;
(3) electronically; or
(4) in any combination of those methods.
(d) As an integral part of an investment policy, the governing body shall adopt a
separate written investment strategy for each of the funds or group of funds under its
control. Each investment strategy must describe the investment objectives for the
particular fund using the following priorities in order of importance:
(1) understanding of the suitability of the investment to the financial requirements of
the entity;
(2) preservation and safety of principal;
(3) liquidity;
(4) marketability of the investment if the need arises to liquidate the investment before
maturity;
(5) diversification of the investment portfolio; and
(6) yield.
(e) The governing body of an investing entity shall review its investment policy and
investment strategies not less than annually. The governing body shall adopt a written
instrument by rule, order, ordinance, or resolution stating that it has reviewed the
investment policy and investment strategies and that the written instrument so adopted
shall record any changes made to either the investment policy or investment strategies.
(f) Each investing entity shall designate, by rule, order, ordinance, or resolution, as
appropriate, one or more officers or employees of the state agency, local government,
or investment pool as investment officer to be responsible for the investment of its funds
consistent with the investment policy adopted by the entity. If the governing body of an
investing entity has contracted with another investing entity to invest its funds, the
investment officer of the other investing entity is considered to be the investment officer
of the first investing entity for purposes of this chapter. Authority granted to a person to
invest an entity's funds is effective until rescinded by the investing entity, until the
expiration of the officer's term or the termination of the person's employment by the
investing entity, or if an investment management firm, until the expiration of the contract
with the investing entity. In the administration of the duties of an investment officer, the
person designated as investment officer shall exercise the judgment and care, under
prevailing circumstances, that a prudent person would exercise in the management of
the person's own affairs, but the governing body of the investing entity retains ultimate
responsibility as fiduciaries of the assets of the entity. Unless authorized by law, a
person may not deposit, withdraw, transfer, or manage in any other manner the funds of
the investing entity.
(g) Subsection (f) does not apply to a state agency, local government, or investment
pool for which an officer of the entity is assigned by law the function of investing its
funds.

(h) An officer or employee of a commission created under Chapter 391, Local
Government Code, is ineligible to be an investment officer for the commission under
Subsection (f) if the officer or employee is an investment officer designated under
Subsection (f) for another local government.
<Text of subsec. (h) as amended by Acts 1997, 75th Leg., ch. 1421, § 3>
(h) An officer or employee of a commission created under Chapter 391, Local
Government Code, is ineligible to be designated as an investment officer under
Subsection (f) for any investing entity other than for that commission.
(i) An investment officer of an entity who has a personal business relationship with a
business organization offering to engage in an investment transaction with the entity
shall file a statement disclosing that personal business interest. An investment officer
who is related within the second degree by affinity or consanguinity, as determined
under Chapter 573, to an individual seeking to sell an investment to the investment
officer's entity shall file a statement disclosing that relationship. A statement required
under this subsection must be filed with the Texas Ethics Commission and the
governing body of the entity. For purposes of this subsection, an investment officer has
a personal business relationship with a business organization if:
(1) the investment officer owns 10 percent or more of the voting stock or shares of the
business organization or owns $5,000 or more of the fair market value of the business
organization;
(2) funds received by the investment officer from the business organization exceed 10
percent of the investment officer's gross income for the previous year; or
(3) the investment officer has acquired from the business organization during the
previous year investments with a book value of $2,500 or more for the personal account
of the investment officer.
(j) The governing body of an investing entity may specify in its investment policy that
any investment authorized by this chapter is not suitable.
(k) A written copy of the investment policy shall be presented to any person offering to
engage in an investment transaction with an investing entity or to an investment
management firm under contract with an investing entity to invest or manage the entity's
investment portfolio. For purposes of this subsection, a business organization includes
investment pools and an investment management firm under contract with an investing
entity to invest or manage the entity's investment portfolio. Nothing in this subsection
relieves the investing entity of the responsibility for monitoring the investments made by
the investing entity to determine that they are in compliance with the investment policy.
The qualified representative of the business organization offering to engage in an
investment transaction with an investing entity shall execute a written instrument in a
form acceptable to the investing entity and the business organization substantially to the
effect that the business organization has:
(1) received and reviewed the investment policy of the entity; and
(2) acknowledged that the business organization has implemented reasonable
procedures and controls in an effort to preclude investment transactions conducted
between the entity and the organization that are not authorized by the entity's
investment policy, except to the extent that this authorization is dependent on an
analysis of the makeup of the entity's entire portfolio or requires an interpretation of
subjective investment standards.
(I) The investment officer of an entity may not acquire or otherwise obtain any
authorized investment described in the investment policy of the investing entity from a
person who has not delivered to the entity the instrument required by Subsection (k).
(m) An investing entity other than a state agency, in conjunction with its annual financial
audit, shall perform a compliance audit of management controls on investments and
adherence to the entity's established investment policies.
(n) Except as provided by Subsection (o), at least once every two years a state agency
shall arrange for a compliance audit of management controls on investments and
adherence to the agency's established investment policies. The compliance audit shall
be performed by the agency's internal auditor or by a private auditor employed in the
manner provided by Section 321.020. Not later than January 1 of each even-numbered
year a state agency shall report the results of the most recent audit performed under
this subsection to the state auditor. Subject to a risk assessment and to the legislative
audit committee's approval of including a review by the state auditor in the audit plan
under Section 321.013, the state auditor may review information provided under this
24
section. If review by the state auditor is approved by the legislative audit committee, the.
state auditor may, based on its review, require a state agency to also report to the state
auditor other information the state auditor determines necessary to assess compliance
with laws and policies applicable to state agency investments. A report under this
subsection shall be prepared in a manner the state auditor prescribes.
(o) The audit requirements of Subsection (n) do not apply to assets of a state agency
that are invested by the comptroller under Section 404.024.

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
City Council Action Date: November ll, 2003
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution supporting the development of La Quinta Trade Gateway
Container Terminal by the Port of Corpus Christi Authority.
ISSUE: The Port of Corpus Christi Authority is developing the La Quinta Trade Gateway
Container Terminal (Terminal) on the north side of Corpus Christi Bay on Port-owned,
unincorporated land located south of Gregory and east of Portland in San Patricio County.
The Terminal will include a marina terminal with storage areas, a wharf capable of handling
three containerships at once, nine cranes to load and unload cargo, an intermodal rail
terminal, and a 115-plus acre green space buffer zone with a vegetated berm on the west
side of the facility to reduce any visual and sound impacts.
The Terminal has the potential to significantly expand the local job market and it will
increase the potential for other commercial, retail, and business development, and the
demand for housing in the area.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Approval of Resolution.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: None.
FUNDING: None.
CONCLUSION: Staff recommends approval of the Resolution.
Ronald F. Massey <~
Assistant City Manager
LA QUINTA TRADE GATEWAY CONTAINER TERMINAL
Port of Corpus Christi Authority
FACT SHEET
The proposed La Quinta Trade Gateway Container Terminal will be located on land owned by the Port of Corpus
Christi Authority (Port) on the north side of Corpus Christi Bay. The terminal is an important component in the
Port's effort to strengthen and diversify the regional economy.
Since the Port began the overall development process for the La Quinta Container Terminal facility in 1998, there
have been various feasibility studies and reports conducted. Several studies are available online at
www.portofcorpuscinisti.com under the Business Information section on New Initiatives and include:
The Channel Improvement Project
The extension of La Quinta Channel to serve the container terminal site was evaluated as part of the larger federal
Corpus Christi Ship Channel - Channel Improvement Project (CIP). The Feasibility Report and Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) on the CII° were finalized in April 2003. Authorization and funding for the channel
improvements are being sought at the federal level in the Water Resources Development Act, currently being
considered by Congress. Multiple issues related to the operation of the La Quinta Terminal facility were evaluated
in the CIP EIS, such as ship traffic, shoreline erosion, ballast water, and beneficial uses of dredged material.
La Quinta Trade Gateway Preliminary Master Development Plan and La Quinta Trade Gateway Market
Feasibility Appraisal
These studies looked at thc possible development approach for thc l,ll4-acrc site and thc market for a new
container facility on thc Gulf of Mexico. These studies also evaluated thc potential for a public-private partnership
between the Port and a private tcrminai operator or other private companies. Thc market appraisal concluded that
there is strong potential for a new container terminal to handle cargo to and from market areas including
Northeastern Mexico, Texas, thc Pacific Southwest U.S., and Central and South America. The Port is currently
working to attract a private te~ninal operator for thc site.
Draft Environmental Document for the Proposed La Quinta Trade Gateway Container Terminal
Multiple issues were evaluated in order to prepare the draft environmental document for the terminal. These range
from potential impacts on area roadways to noise and air impact evaluations. These studies, completed in 2003,
indicate the terminal can be constructed and operated without placing any significant negative impacts on either the
human or the natural environment. A public meeting will be held in Portland on October 28, 2003 for public
comment on this document. Following any needed revisions, the Port will submit this document to the United
States Army Corps of Engineers with the goal of securing the necessary permits to allow the project to move
forward. Securing these permits will make the site more attractive to potential operating partners.

LA QUINTA TRADE GATEWAY CONTAINER TERMINAL
Port of Corpus Christi Authority
FACT SHEET
What is a Container Terminal?
Container terminals process cargo, such as all types of manufactured products and other goods, that is shipped in
large containers. These containers are transferred from ships, using large cranes, onto trucks or trains. Or, the cargo
can be moved from trucks or trains to ships. The La Quinta Trade Gateway Container Terminal will include a
marine terminal with storage areas, a wharf capable of handling three containerships at once, nine cranes to load
and un-load cargo, an intermodal rail terminal, and dredged material placement areas. Ancillary buildings or
development on the site are also possible, such as warehousing, truck terminal facilities, office facilities for trade
brokers, freight forwarders, and others.
Special Features at the Site
An 100-plus acre green space buffer zone with a
vegetated berm will be constructed on the west
side of the terminal to reduce any visual and
sound impacts of the facility.
A new major drainage channel and outfall will
provide additional capacity for excess flow from
the Green Lake drainage basin and drainage for
the site.
Regional Benefits
Significantly expanded local job market,
including direct jobs associated with terminal
operations, indirect jobs created locally due to
purchases of goods and services by firms, and
induced jobs created throughout the local
economy because terminal employees will spend
wages locally on goods and services.
The potential for additional land use
developments at the La Quinta site, including
light industrial, warehousing and storage,
distribution, terminal support services, and
freight operations. As an example, the Gulf
Compress cotton warehouse facility recently
broke ground on the proposed La Quinta site.
This facility will provide 550,000 square feet of new warehouses for the agricultural community.
· It is likely that the area demand for new housing, retail businesses, and other commercial services would
expand once the terminal is developed.
· The project will increase the tax base for San Patricio County, Gregory-Portland Independent School
District, and other taxing entities. While the site is publicly owned land and thus non-taxable, there is a
potential for additional tax revenue based on the extent of private taxable property located on the site. The
public-private property composition and the potential tax benefits to various jurisdictions will not be
known until agreements with specific private partners are developed.
· The Port, Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), and others are working together to develop traffic
plans for the area, which will address the initial and long-term area traffic needs, with or without the
construction of the La Quinta Trade Gateway Container Terminal.

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
November 6, 2003
AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance amending Section 33-79, Code of Ordinances, City of
Corpus Christi, regarding entering or remaining on city premises with a firearm;
providing for penalties; providing for severance; and providing for publication.
ISSUE: The current ordinance, Section 33-79, that was adopted in 1995, prohibits
bringing any weapons into City facilities. This prohibit applied whether or not the
individual is a concealed handgun license ("CHL") holder. During the last regular
legislative session, S.B. 501 was adopted prevents the City from prohibiting CHL
holders from carrying handguns onto most City properties. S.B. 501 took effect on
September 1st, While the City has not been the ordinance against CHL holder since our
ordinance is now preempted by State law. The ordinance needs to be amended to'
eliminate the conflict.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Amend §33-79 to remove restriction on CHL
holders bringing concealed handguns into most City buildings.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: §33-79 adopted by Ordinance 22454, 12/19/1995.
FUNDING: Not applicable.
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the proposed ordinance.
Acting City Attorney
BACKGROUNDINFORMATION
Prior to September 1, a property owner, including the City, could post a notice under
Section 30.06, Texas Penal Code, to prohibit a concealed handgun license (CHL)
holder from entering the owner's property with a concealed handgun. Violators could be
prosecuted with criminal trespass under Sections 30.05 and 30.06. Texas Penal Code.
During the last regular session of the Legislature, the Legislature adopted S.B. 501,
which changed the State law, and amended Sections 30.05, 30.06, and 46.03, Texas
Penal Code.
S.B. 501, which took effect on September 1st, prevents the City from prohibiting CHL
holders from carrying handguns onto City property with two exceptions. S.B. 501 made
three substantive changes to the Texas Penal Code.
First, it amended §30.05 and created a defense for a CHL holder charged with
criminal trespass under the section, if the basis for the charge was entering on
the property or land or entering into a building was forbidden with a handgun.
Criminal trespass is entering or remaining on property without effective consent.
Second, it provided an exception the application of §30.06, which relates to
trespass by a CHL holder. It excepts property owned or leased by a government
entity from the list of places where a CHL holder is prohibited from carrying a
concealed handgun, unless the CHL holder is prohibited from carrying a handgun
under §§46.03 or 46.035 of the Penal Code.
Third, it amended §46.03 by prohibiting CHL holders from carrying a handgun
"on the premises" of any government court or offices utilized by the court without
written authorization or under written regulations. The previous law only
prohibited possessing a handgun into the actual court.
The City still has the authority to prohibit anyone who is not a CHL holder from bringing
ANY weapon onto City property. As a property owner, the City can prevent a CHL
holder from bringing ANY weapon, other than a concealed handgun onto City property.
In addition, there are four specific provisions that limit when a CHL holder can bring
handgun on City property:
§46.03(a)(2), Texas Penal Code, prohibits a CHL holder from bringing a
concealed handgun on the premises of a polling place on an election day or
while early voting is in progress. The premises would include City Hall and other
facility being used as a polling place, but will not include the parking lot or
sidewalks. The City is not required to post a warning sign for a violation of this
section.
§46.03(a)(3), Texas Penal Code, prohibits a CHL holder from bringing a
concealed handgun on the premises of City's Police/Municipal Court building,
since it is the location of a government court and the site of the Municipal Court
offices. The premises do not include the parking lot or sidewalk. This effectively
continues the previous prohibition on bringing weapons into the Police/Municipal
Court building. The City is not required to post a warning sign for a violation of
this section.
§46.03(a)(5), Texas Penal Code, prohibits a CHL holder from bringing a
concealed handgun in or into a secured area of an airport. The City is not
required to post a warning sign for a violation of this section.
§46.035(c), Texas Penal Code, makes it an offense for the CHL holder to bring a
handgun into any meeting of a government entity. Under this provision, the CHL
holder could bring a handgun into City Hall, but not in the Council chambers or
any other location where the Council is meeting. While the statute does not
require the posting of any notice, the Texas Department of Public Safety rules,
published in §6.45(6), Title 37, Texas Administrative Code, states that the
subsection does not apply if the actor has not been given effective notice under
§30.03, Texas Penal Code. Therefore, it appears that the City should posts the
required notices at the locations where the meetings are held.
While S.B. 501 did not require the City to remove the CHL signs, the CHL signs were
removed from all of our buildings except for the Municipal Court/Police building because
of questions from the public. Special signs will be posted at the specific locations and
on those occasions, such as early voting, when CHL holders cannot bring their

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
North Padre Island Development Corporation, a not-for-profit local government corporation, was
established by the City of Corpus Christi (''the City") under the provisions of Chapter 431, Texas
Transportation Code, and the general laws of the State of Texas to aid, assist, and act on behalfoftbe
City in the performance of the City's governmental functions and to provide a means of financing
certain project costs in connection with Reinvestment Zone Number Two, City of Corpus Christi,
Texas. It is governed by a Board of Directors, whose members are appointed by the City Council.
In November 2000, the Reinvestment Zone #2 was created by the City Council, pursuant the provisions
of the Tax Increment Financing Act ("TIF Act"), Chapter 311, Texas Tax Code to facilitate
development of a channel and other facilities in the Packery Channel area. After a petition, the City
Council submitted the ordinance to the voters in April 2001, which the voters approved. The Zone
became effective on November 14, 2000, and will terminate on December 31, 2022, or at an earlier
time designated by subsequent ordinance of the City, or at an earlier time that all zone project costs, tax
increment bonds and the interest on all tax increment bonds, have been paid in full.
As required under the TIF Act, the Zone Board prepared, and the City Council approved, a Project
Plan and Reinvestment Zone Financing Plan (the "Plan") on February 25, 2003. The Plan includes
information concerning proposed land uses and development, estimated project and non-project costs
and administrative expenses, engineering studies, proposed financing and economic feas~dity d?__a, and
property appraisal data.
Of the total $29,728,913 projected cost of the Project, the City as Project sponsor has agreed to pay
35% oftbe total projected cost (or approximately $10,405,120). The remaining Project costs are to be
paid by the United States Government. The City has created the Zone for the purpose of raising
funds needed to provide the Zone Project Costs. From the onset, it was stated that bonds to fund the
project would be payable solely from the tax increment from the fund and not from other city revenues,
and that the transaction would be designed to completely insulate general city revenues from liability on
the bonds.
In December 2002, the North Padre Island Development Corporation passed a resolution for the
issuance of bonds, Series 2002, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $3,000,000.
Subsequently in April 2003, Tax Increment Revenue Bonds, Series 2003 in the mount of $2,500,000
were issued. This was the first installment of bonds issued for the purposes mentioned above. A second
issue of bonds in the amount of $2,500,000 is needed in fiscal year 2004 for the second installment.
Proceeds of the Series 2003A Bonds will be used to (i) pay a portion of the Zone Project Costs, and
(ii) pay the costs of issuing the Series 2003A Bonds.

provisions of the Tax Increment Financing Act ("TIF Act"), Chapter 311, Texas Tax Code to
facilitate development of a channel and other facilities in the Packery Channel area. After a petition,
the City Council submitted the ordinance to the voters in April 2001, which the voters approved.
The Zone became effective on November 14, 2000, and will terminate on December 31,2022, or at
an earlier time designated by subsequent ordinance of the City, or at an earlier time that all zone
project costs, tax increment bonds and the interest on all tax increment bonds, have been paid in full.
As required under the TIF Act, the Zone Board prepared, and the City Council approved, a Project
Plan and Reinvestment Zone Financing Plan (the "Plan") on February 25, 2003. The Plan includes
information concerning proposed land uses and development, estimated project and non-project
costs and administrative expenses, engineering studies, proposed financing and economic feasibility
data, and property appraisal data.
Of the total $29,728,913 projected cost of the Project, the City as Project sponsor has agreed to pay
35% of the total projected cost (or approximately $10,405,120). The remaining Project costs are to
be paid by the United States Government. The City has created the Zone for the purpose of raising
funds needed to provide the Zone Project Costs. From the onset, it was stated that bonds to fund the
project would be payable solely from the tax increment from the fired and not from other city
revenues, and that the transaction would be designed to completely insulate general city revenues
from liability on the bonds.
In December 2002, the North Padre Island Development Corporation passed a resolution for the
issuance of bonds, Series 2002, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $3,000,000.
Subsequently in April 2003, Tax Increment Revenue Bonds, Series 2003 in the amount of
$2,500,000 were issued. This was the first installment of bonds issued for the purposes mentioned
above. A second issue of bonds in the amount of $2,500,000 is needed in fiscal year 2004 for the
second installment. Proceeds of the Series 2003A Bonds will be used to (i) pay a portion of the Zone
Project Costs, and (ii) pay the costs of issuing the Series 2003A Bonds.

BACKGROUNDINFORMATION
BACKGROUND: The site of the Minor League Baseball Stadium is on Port of Corpus Christi
property southeast of the Ortiz Center. The site is currently occupied with warehouses used by the
Cotton Compress. Units 1,2 and 3 of the warehouses must be demolished prior to construction of
the stadium. The City and Port of Corpus Christi are finalizing an agreement to purchase the
property.
The Port of Corpus Christi has completed asbestos abatement for the warehouses to be
demolished. The Port offered to demolish the warehouses in retum for a payment of $1,500,000.
The City offered to bid the demolition as a City project rather than being locked into a demolition
pdce based on the engineer's estimate. The Iow qualified bid by Cherry Demolition resulted in a net
savings of $1,034,000.
The cost of warehouse demolition covering any land that is not sold to the City of Corpus Christi will
be paid by the Port on a pro rata basis. The demolition company will not have access to the site
until the cotton compress vacates the buildings. The Port will proceed with a separate demolition
contract for other warehouses to provide space for parking and other development. That contract
provides an extended demolition schedule to permit greater opportunity to recycle wood and other
materials.
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION:
October 24, 2003 -
a. Motion authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to execute an architectural services
contract in an amount not to exceed $1,240,000.00 with HKS, Inc. of Dallas, Texas for the
Professional Minor League Baseball Stadium (M2003-370).
b. Motion authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to execute a project management services
contract in an amount not to exceed $475,175.00 with Anderson Group Construction
Management, Inc. of Corpus Christi for the Professional Minor League Baseball Stadium

October 28, 2003 - Motion authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to execute a geotechnical
investigation contract in an amount not to exceed $33,400.00 with Kleinfelder of Corpus Christi,
Texas for the Professional Minor League Baseball Stadium (M2003-389).
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The contract provides for the demolition of Compress Warehouse
selected sections of Units 1, 2 and 3. The Cotton Compress has possession of the site until
January 1, 2004. The demolition company will be able to begin demolition on January 1, 2004
subject to all necessary requirements of the bond counsel. All work must be completed by March
15, 2004. The contractor is being encouraged to recycle lumber and other material to extent time
permits. All matedal not recycled by the contractor will be transported to City owned property south
of Oso Creek across from J. C. Elliott Landfill. The City will recycle suitable matedal rather than
disposing of it in the landfill.
BID INFORMATION: Seven bids were received and opened October 29, 2003. The bid tabulation
is attached. See Exhibit B. The project was bid as a base bid with four additive alternate bids and
one deductive altemate bid. The base bid provided for the demolition and disposal of compress
warehouses. The alternates provide for:
1. add - removal and disposal of two (2) presses in Compress Unit 1;
2. add - demolition and removal of fill to the elevation of Wilburn Ddve;
Page 1 of 2
H:\HOM E~KEVlNS\GEN\Baseball\Demolition\DemoBkg ExhA.doc
3. add - cut all timberllumbedboardslwood items in lengths with a maximum length of seven (7)
feet;
4. add - remove and relocate the east press in Unit 1 to a location on Port Propertywithin one
mile of site; and
5. deduct - do not demolish and remove the boiler structure, concrete columns and roof
structure.
BID EVALUATIONS: Base Bids ranged from $461,000 to $1,494,000. One bid was submitted with
the bid bond not made out to the City of Corpus Christi and was deemed non-responsive. That did
not affect the priority of award. The base bid, additive altemate No. 3, and deductive altemate No. 5
are recommended for award. The Iow qualified bid in the amount of $466,000 was submitted by
Cherry Demolition Company of Houston, Texas.
PRIOR ACTIONS: The 4-A Board has approved the project and issued a re-imbursement
resolution which allow expenditures to be reimbursed by the forthcoming bond sale for the project.
FUNDING: Funding is provided by proceeds administered by the 4-A Board. The City acts as the
agent on behalf of the 4-A Board. Funding will be advanced from the 1/8 cent sales tax pending the
issuance of bonds by the Board. The Board has approved a reimbursement resolution to permit
repayment of expenditures.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Subject: Air Quality Monitor Lease Agreement
Project Description: The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has been
awarded funding from a Supplemental Environmental Project (SEP) grant resulting from
a settlement between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Flint Hills
Resources, formerly Koch Petroleum Group. The purpose of the grant is to establish a
series of seven continuous air quality monitors in the area of the Port of Corpus Christi and
associated industrial areas to monitor the concentration of specified chemical materials in
the ambient air. The monitors will be purchased and operated by the University of Texas-
Austin's Center for Energy and Environmental Resources.
The term of the lease is five years with provisions to renew for an additional five years. The
life of the monitoring program is estimated to last from seven to ten years. The lease
provides a 40-foot by 40-foot enclosed space in Woodlawn Park and in Dr. H.J. Williams
Park for the monitors and associated facilities. Each site will be enclosed in a six foot
galvanized chain link fence. The Director of Parks and Recreation is granted approval
authority for location of the monitors within the specified parks.
There are no anticipated costs to the City of Corpus Christi for either the installation nor
the operation of these monitors.
The information generated in this program will be publicly available on the TCEQ website.
The information will also be quite useful in the continuing research program studying ozone
formation in the region.
Prior Council Action: This is a new initiative and, therefore, there has been no prior
Council action on this item.
Future Council Action: No further Council action is anticipated on this item at this time.

PLAN MISSION STATEMENT
The ultimate goal of this plan is to assist in transforming the Mustang-Padre Island area into a
world-renowned tourist, resort and residential community. The City will encourage the highest
development standards within the area's boundaries to create a unique "sense of place." Economic
development will be tempered with environmental sensitivity to the significant coastal natural
resources on the Islands. Growth will be tempered with common sense. Residential concerns will
be tempered with tourism and business concerns. The area plays a vital role in the citywide and
regional economies. The City recognizes this and commits to doing its part to ensure the long-term
success of Mustang-Padre Island.

Mustang-Padre Island Area Development
Plan
INTRODUCTION
The City of Corpus Christi envisions Mustang-Padre Island as a
regional, national, and international resort destination. The
recreational amenities, leisure and resort facilities, and residential
communities will be among the fmest along the entire Gulf Coast.
Moreover, the recreational opportunities will appeal to a broad
socioeconomic range of clientele, allowing all to enjoy what
Mustang-Padre Island has to offer. Whether for sport fishing,
beach combing, windsurfmg or rest and relaxation, visitors will
want to return again and again. The character of the residential
neighborhoods will attract new residents who appreciate what the
area has to offer. Visitors and residents alike will come to
appreciate the unique sense of place created through requiring the
highest quality of development. This vision will make Mustang-
Padre Island a preeminent destination of the Gulf Coast and a
brilliant asset to our sparkling city.
The City Charter mandates the Corpus Christi Comprehensive Plan. The Charter requires the
City Council to" ... establish comprehensive planning as a continuous governmental function to
guide, regulate, and manage future development . . ." and that" . . . all city improvements,
ordinances, and regulations shall be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan . . . ". The
Comprehensive Plan is comprised of various plan elements such as Policy Statements, Area
Development Plans (ADP's), Capital
Improvement Programs, and Master Utility
Plans. The comprehensive planning
process is a means for citizens and
community leaders to guide community
development. The Comprehensive Plan,
by definition, is general, long range, and
broad in scope. Its purpose is to guide the
City in policy formulation and in the
implementation of strategies related to
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
Draft October 17, 2003
Page 6
population, housing, environment, land use, transportation, annexation, economic development
and public services. As part of the planning process, planning staff developed the Mustang-Padre
Island A~ea Development Plan Issues Report based upon the input of the Mustang-Padre Island
Stakeholders Group. This document was used to identify the important issues related to the ADP.
Those issues are included as Appendix A.
Figure 1 - Plan Boundaries

Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
Draft October 17, 2003
Page 7
The Mustang-Padre Island Area is located in the easternmost part of the City, offshore from the
mainland. The Plan area is bounded by Port Aransas on the north, the Gulf of Mexico on the east,
Padre Island National Seashore on the south and the Laguna Madre and Corpus Christi Bay to the
west. The area also includes the John F. Kennedy Causeway. (See Figure 1 - Plan Boundary
Map.)
The principle objectives of this plan are as follows:
1) To recognize the unique characteristics of this area and propose policies that emphasize the
need for standards that may not apply citywide.
2) To recognize the regional economic significance of this area and develop policies that advocate
responsible economic development strategies.
3) To propose techniques or methods by which the environmentally sensitive areas must be
preserved and/or developed with minimal adverse impacts.
4) To propose appropriate land uses and a corresponding transportation network to serve future
land uses and public access to the Gulf beaches.
5) To facilitate infrastructure planning through a reasonable estimate of future land use.
DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS (v.s. Census Bureau, 2000 Census)
POPULATION
This area is the one of the highest growth areas within the City's jurisdiction. Figures 2 and 3
illustrate population growth in Corpus Christi as a whole and within the Mustang-Padre Island
Area. These figures include actual census counts from 1970 - 2000 and projections through 2050.
Area population growth is dependent upon land availability and density of development. Being an
island, with significant amounts of natural resources, land availability is limited. The ultimate
population and growth will depend upon the factors discussed within this Area Development Plan
(ADP). It is important to note that the projection figures are estimates and should be used for long-
range planning purposes only. A comparison of Figures 2 and 3 indicates that the growth trend
within this area is projected to continue outpacing that of the City as a whole through 2050. With
the construction of Packery Channel, development is expected to rise sharply through the next 20 -
30 years and then plateau. At that point, land availability will likely become a limiting factor and
area population should stabilize in the vicinity of 50,000. The bulk of the future growth will occur
in the areas comprised of Commodore's Cove Unit II, Cape Summer Unit I, Cape Summer Unit II,
Lake Padre, Packery Channel, from the Kleberg County Line to the existing city limits and the
Gulf beaches of Mustang Island, north of Mustang Island State Park.
The demographic makeup of the Mustang-Padre Island Area is not consistent with that of Corpus
Christi. Within the area, about 70% of the population is in the 21 - 64 year age group. Meanwhile,
the City has about 56% of the population in the same age group. The 0 - 20 year age group makes
up about 16% of the Mustang-Padre population, as compared to about 33% for Corpus Christi's
population. This is indicative of the area's status as a resort community. The bulk of the population
is working age adults, with fewer children than the remainder of the City. Also, there is a slightly
higher rate of retirement age (65+) individuals within the area (14%) than the rest of the City
(11%). The proportion of married couples with children citywide is about 49%. Meanwhile,
within the area, only about 27% of marred couples have children.

EDUCATION
Educational attainment for individuals age 25 and over differs greatly between the area and Corpus
Christi. Citywide, about 24% lack a high school diploma or equivalem. That statistic is about 5%
for the area. About 45% of Mustang-Padre residems have a bachelor's degree or higher, with 77%
having at least some college. In contrast, only about 20% of Corpus Christi residents have a
bachelor's degree or higher, with 51% having at least some college.
INCOME
Median income in the area is significantly higher and the poverty is significantly lower than the
remainder of the City. The median household income in Mustang-Padre is about $60,200, while
that of Corpus Christi is about $36,400. Also, less than 5.5% of households in the area live below
the poverty level, as compared to the City's 17.55%.
HOUSING
According to the 2000 Census, 8.38% of the total housing units citywide were vacant. For the
area, 27.54% of the total housing units were vacant. This is largely due to the preponderance of
seasonal housing units in the Mustang-Padre Area. Of the 1,121 vacant housing units in the area,
788 (70.29%) were seasonal units,
which catered largely to tourists
and winter Texans. Citywide, only
15.95% of vacant housing units
were seasonal units.
There is a significant discrepancy
in median home value between
Corpus Christi and Mustang-
Padre. In fact, there is a large
fluctuation in median home value within the area. The median home value citywide is
approximately $72,000. On Mustang Island the median home value is about $154,000, while on
Padre Island it is about $216,000. Possible causes for such differences could be property value,
age of the housing stock, size of homes or a combination of those factors.
CURRENT LAND USE
Table 1 shows land use acreages by category. The total acreage of 29,506 acres is the total land
area within the Plan area. Water area is specifically excluded. The "Park" category includes parks,
beaches and other publicly held lands and accounts for about 57% of area land. A large portion of
land in the "Vacant" category, an estimated 3,800 acres or 13% of the total area, is wetlands. This
illustrates that developmem is either disallowed or strictly limited in about 70% of the area. Less
than 25% of the area's land remains developable, without significant wetlands mitigation. While
it is tree that wetlands can technically be developed, the mitigation costs oftentimes are
economically infeasible.

A. ENVIRONMENT
Preservation and protection of the Island ecology is critical to the public health, safety,
and welfare of the Corpus Christi community and entire region. The Island ecology,
including the Gulf beach, dunes complex, and wetlands areas, provides significant
benefits to the rest of the region. It is a well-known fact that the Island dunes complex
provides the first line of defense to the mainland from hurricane storm surges. The
Island wetlands and estuaries provide an aquatic environment to support many species
of fish and shellfish for sport and commercial fishing. In addition, the unique beauty
and recreational opportunities of the Islands, specifically the beach areas, benefit the
local and regional economy significantly. Tourism studies have shown that the Gulf
beaches are the number one tourist attraction to the Corpus Christi area by visitors from
both inside and outside of the State.
In order to balance the need to protect the coastal natural resources of the Islands and to
promote economic development on the Islands, the following recommendations are
proposed. Some of the recommendations are being implemented by other governmental
agencies, i.e.U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Nueces County, State of Texas, etc. The
Plan recommendations are intended to assure City support and are not intended to
substitute or establish an overlap or duplication of authority.
POLICY STATEMENT A.1
Gulf beaches between mean Iow tide and the line of vegetation must contain no
structures or improvements except erosion control measures and limited public
recreational structures (fife guard towers, fishing/surf'mg piers, open-air public
showers, portable restrooms, traffic control devices, etc.). No paved parking may bc
constructed on the Gulf beaches seaward of the foredune ridge. However, unpaved parking would
still be allowed, where not specifically prohibited. Paved public parking will be located on the
backside of the foredunes with dune walkovers providing pedestrian access to the beaches.
POLICY STATEMENT A.2
Prior to issuance of any building permit for a site, all requirements of state law with regard
to dune protection and beach access must be satisfied and wetlands will be identified on an
approved site plan. The site plan must be consistent with requirements of the Nueces County
Beach Management Plan, regarding dunes. Within Kleberg County, the site plan must be
consistent with the requirements of the City's Dune Protection and Beach Access Regulations.
The Texas General Land Office must be
consulted in the determination of dune
location and the location and extent of
jurisdictional wetlands must be verified
with the National Wetlands Inventory, at a
minimum. If the presence of wetlands is
evident, a preliminary USACE wetlands
determination may be required.
Mustang-Padre Island ,4rea Development Plan
Draft October 17, 2005
Page 12
PROGRAM STATEMENT A.3
Due to the complexity of Island
development and the need to
protect environmentally sensitive
areas, the City will require a
formal site plan review process for
all commercial and multifamily
development on the Islands, in
conjunction with the issuance of
building permits and beachfront
construction certificates. The site plan review process will save permitting time by assuring a
thorough review at the beginning of the project. The site plan will clearly indicate the location of
dunes, jurisdictional wetlands, floodplains, public beach easement, etc. in relation to any proposed
improvements. Site plan approval will be required prior to the approval of any building permit or
other land-disturbing activity regulated by the City. The process will include a turn-around time
of one week or less (not including appeals process) so the development process is not unduly
delayed. The site plan may not necessarily require the services ora professional planner, architect
or engineer, if the applicant can provide the required information. The site plan review process
will assure coordination between City Staff and facilitate the "one stop" development concept.
The site plan must be drawn to scale and must include at least the following (as applicable):
A) Parcel or lot dimensions
B) The location, proposed use, size, and height of all existing and proposed buildings and other
structures
C) Yard set backs and space between buildings
D) Parking, ingress, egress, circulation
E) Grading
F) Placement and size of utilities
G) Stormwater drainage
It) Landscaping and screening
I) Zoning including overlays, PUD's and special permits
J) Notation of regulatory floodplains and velocity zones
K) Finished floor elevations
L) Location of signage
M) Note regarding the architectural theme of the development and exterior building materials
N) Location and extent of wetlands by USACE or National Wetlands Inventory
O) Location of all dunes within the dune protection zone and Nueces County Dunes Protection
Permit number
P) Traffic and wastewater generation estimate
Q) Refuse collection facilities for multi-family, commercial, and industrial activities
R) Fire protection system
S) Other permits required by agencies of authority
POLICY STATEMENT A.4
Mustang and Padre Islands will not be considered for sanitary landfills or other solid waste
disposal, except for dredge materials.
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
Draft October 17, 2003
Page 13
POLICY STATEMENT A.5
The design and use of naturally regenerating systems for prevention and control of beach
erosion are encouraged and preferred over bulkheads and other hard structures and the
protection is a reasonable solution to the site where it is proposed. Regenerating systems
include, but are not limited
A) Beach nourishment
B) Planting with short-term mechanical assistance, when appropriate
C) Any other method consistent with the recommendations of the Texas General Land Office's
Dune Protection and Improvement Manual for the Texas Gulf Coast
POLICY STATEMENT A.6
Underwater pipelines carrying materials harmful or potentially injurious to aquatic life
and/or water quality must be provided with shut off apparatus at each end of the
underwater segment.
POLICY STATEMENT A.7
The City will encourage the protection of sensitive wildlife habitats and non-jurisdictional
wetlands by considering innovative design techniques, implementation of incentives for
developers and allowing higher than typical development density in uplands where
practical.

B. LAND USE
FUTIYRE LAND USE
Table 2 illustrates future land use acreages by category.
PLAN STATEMENT B.1
The City Council, hereby, adopts Figures 4 and 5 as the guide for future land use
decisions. The intent of the future land use plan is to support environmentally sound,
high-density tourist related growth, medium-density mixed uses and residential land use
on the Islands. The plan provides for a compatible configuration of activities with
emphasis on the protection of residential activities from incompatible activities, the
placement of commercial activities at locations with good access and high visibility, and
the identification of environmentally sensitive areas that should be preserved.
POLICY STATEMENT B.2
The City's plan for development on Padre and Mustang Island includes the
following policies:
A) High-density residential development will be encouraged along the Gulf side of
State Highway 361 north of the State Park to the City limits.
B) The development and maintenance of Packery Channel will be vigorously supported. Capital
improvement projects located in or serving areas in the Padre Island TIF District are
considered a high priority.
C) Tourist oriented business and development will continue to be encouraged as illustrated on the
Future Land Use Map. This includes commercial ventures, condominiums and resorts, fishing
and outdoor recreation facilities, and travel trailer parks.
D) Development that is visible from a designated arterial thoroughfare must have a consistent
urban design theme integral to creating a "sense of place", enhancing the "visitor experience",
and augmenting the ~
overall quality of life.
E) To enhance the beauty
and aesthetic appeal of
Mustang-Padre Island,
landscape requirements
in corridors will be of a
higher standard than is
typically allowed
elsewhere in the City.
The requirement will
be 0.04 points (twice the norm) of landscaping per square foot under the current landscape
ordinance. Variances, special permits, or other means to reduce the landscaping requirements
for development in this Plan Area will be strongly discouraged.

POLICY STATEMENT B.3
The purpose of the "Mixed Use" land use category in the Future Land Use Plan is intended to
provide flexibility to developers. However, this is not intended to imply that a developer is
unencumbered in reference to future land use. Rather, the developer is expected to provide
integrated land uses with a high quality, functional transportation network, as well as pedestrian
and bicycle amenities. Realizing the importance of the "Mixed Use" land use category to the
overall economic vitality of the entire city, the highest quality of development is to be expected.
In order to obtain these expectations, development within a "Mixed Use" area must occur as
a Planned Unit Development.
A) Mixed use/residential - A minimum of 90% of the land use by acreage in this category must
be residential. Low intensity neighborhood business, medium density residential, recreational and
various tourist or water oriented land uses may be integrated as approved by a PUD overlay.
"Cluster developments" may be allowed on Mustang Island, west of State Highway 361, provided
the density does not exceed the overall density of seven dwelling units per acre.
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
Draft October 17, 2003
Page 16
B) Mixed use/tourist - A minimum of 75% of the land use by acreage in this category must be
tourist/water oriented. Uses may include bed and breakfasts, hotels, condominiums,
marinas/vessel repair and maintenance, convention facilities, ancillary commercial uses, etc. Such
uses may be integrated with other commercial and medium/high density residential as approved
by a PUD overlay.
C) Mixed use/commercial - A minimum of 51% of the land use by acreage in this category must
be retail commercial. Other tourist/water oriented and medium/high density residential uses may
be integrated as approved by a PUD overlay.
POLICY STATEMENT B.4
The City will amend the Platting Ordinance to eliminate the practice of treating multiple
adjacent lots under common ownership as a single lot in lleu of replatting. Current ordinances
allowing this practice negate thc City's ability to obtain proper street dedications, park
dedications, crc. This will combine such lots into one single platted lot.
POLICY STATEMENT B.5
Diversity and creativity in architectural design is necessary to avoid homogeneity and sameness.
Contrast and variety within a range of allowable themes is preferable to mandating a specific
single architectural theme. In keeping with the stated preferences, this plan requires nautical
or coastal themes for all commercial, retail and multifamily development. Such architectural
design themes may include elements found in coastal regions such as Cape Cod, Key West, the
Carolinas, the Caribbean, Mediterranean, etc. The purpose of this policy is to help create a "sense
of place" and increase the quality of architecture found in the area.
POLICY STATEMENT B.6
The City will create "Gateway Corridors" that include, but are not limited to Park Rd. 22
and State Highway 361, to recognize and protect the cultural and economic significance of
this area. The following requirements will apply to all commercial and multifamily development
in designated corridors:
· Restriction of metal buildings
· Masonry, stucco, brick, stone or pre-cast concrete panel exterior wall construction
· Pedestrian amenities
· Stringent signage controls
· Nautical or coastal architectural theme (Cape Cod, Mediterranean, Caribbean, etc.)
· Increased landscaping requirements
· Other standards as deemed necessary through the planning process
POLICY STATEMENT B.7 - South ETJ Boundary to South City Limits
The Texas General Land Office owns this area in its entirety. Currently, the land is undeveloped
with only a few oil and gas extraction activities on thc property. Regarding development in this
area, the following policies apply:
A) Thc area must be preserved as an area of natural coastal habitat while providing for increase
public access to the Gulf beaches and the Laguna Madre Shorelines.
B) Any use or development of the land or a portion thereof must have a significant beneficial
impact on thc region or the state.
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
Draft October 17, 2003
Page 17
Potential uses for this area include: 1) Beach and Laguna access roads at a spacing of approximately 2 miles apart (current
spacing is 8 miles) are critically needed for emergency vehicle and enhanced public access
2) Recreational vehicle parks, camping, fishing, hiking, boat ramps, parking, lookouts, etc.
3) Wind and solar power generation on a limited basis may be acceptable
4) Small and large scale desalination facilities on the west side of South Padre Island
Drive/Park Road 22
5) Temporary armed services training for national defense
6) Permanent open space preserve
POLICY STATEMENT B.8 - South City Limits to Zahn Rd.
Regarding development in this area, the following policies apply:
A) Padre Isles Property Owners Association will be invited to comment on rezoning cases and
the site plan review process. Strip commercial development should be discouraged along
South Padre Island Drive/Park Road 22. Commercial proposals providing substantial acreage
and a planned commercial cluster are to be encouraged.
B) Lower intensity commercial activities will be encouraged at the intersections of South Padre
Island Drive/Park Road 22 and Jackfish, and at South Padre Island Drive/Park Road 22 and
Aquarius Drive. These two intersections will provide service to a smaller residential
population located in
the vicinity and will
also require less
intersection capacity.
Therefore, low
intensity commercial
activities will be
appropriate.
C) Commercial areas of medium to high intensity will occur at South Padre Island Drive/Park
Road 22 and Sea Pines, Encantada, Whitecap, and Commodores Drive. These intersections
will provide access to most of the residential population and will require intersection
improvements to accommodate future traffic. For these reasons, medium to high intensity
commercial activities are appropriate.
D) The intersections of South Padre Island Drive/Park Road 22 with State Highway 361 and
South Padre Island Drive/Park Road 22 with Whitecap will be developed with high intensity
commercial activities. Such commercial activities will serve both the visitor and permanent
resident populations. However, heavy commercial activities that might include outdoor
storage and/or activities that due to their physical characteristics would not contribute to the
visitor environment will not be allowed. Activities generally as considered high intensity
commercial include, but are not limited to grocery stores, building material yards, open
storage and warehousing.
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
Draft October 17, 2003
Page 18
E) The area referred to as the Village (either side of the high bridge), must be developed under
special mixed-use standards consistent with The Village Master Plan. Appropriate
development of this site is particularly important since it is one of the first areas that motorists
passing over the high bridge will see.
F) Property located west of Nueces County Packery Channel Park is proposed for mixed-
use/tourist development due to the high visibility location on South Padre Island Drive and
access to Packery Channel. Access out of the site must align with the existing median cuts on
South Padre Island Drive/Park Road 22 to facilitate future signalization.
G) Industrial uses are incompatible with and may threaten low-density residential land uses, the
natural environment and the tourist orientation of the Islands. Such uses are to be discouraged
from locating on the barrier islands. Several industrial uses are located adjacent to South
Padre Island Drive/Park Road 22. Each of these uses must not be permitted to expand. For
those industrial uses that are non-conforming, the City will seek removal of the uses unless
the property owner can provide sufficient screening and landscaping, thus mitigating the
undesirable impacts of the industrial use. Gas and energy production is exempted from this
policy, where allowed by law, so long as all pertinent requirements are met.
It) The City, County, and State will work together to promote public parking areas in proximity
to public beaches. All plans for public beach access and parking facilities on State land must
be approved by the Texas Attorney General's office. State law requires that beach access be
preserved. However, the local government has the authority to defme the degree of access that
is permitted along the beach. Due to the narrow beach area in front of the sea wall, and the
safety problems presented by heavy vehicular and pedestrian traffic, the City occasionally
blocks off the beach to vehicular traffic. The City has acquired property for a public parking
lot (approx. 300 spaces) at a
central location behind the
sea wall. This will allow the
beach segment between
Leeward Beach and
Whitecap Beach to remain
open to pedestrian traffic
and use by the public, while
being closed by the City or
County to vehicular traffic.
(This recommendation is
also provided in the JFK
Causeway Recreation Area Master Plan study.)
POLICY STATEMENT B.9 - Zahn Rd. to Port Aransas
Regarding development in this area, the following policies apply:
A) The area located north of the State Park on the east side of State Highway 361 is planned for
high-density tourist/residential uses. A number of high-density condominiums have already
been built in this area and it is recommended that these activities be continued on vacant lots
in the area.
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
Draft October 17, 2003
Page 19
B) The area north of Zahn Road and east of State Highway 361 extending to the County-owned
parkland is planned for high-density mixed-use tourist land uses. This low-lying area has a
significant amount of wetlands, which may make it difficult to develop. However, it will have
excellent access to the Packery Channel and adjacent commercial areas. Due to its proximity
to the proposed visitor-oriented activities along Packery Channel, the area is suitable for
commercial beach support activities, such as restaurants, surf shops, etc.
C) The area located north of the State Park on the west side of State Highway 361 is planned for
residential mixed uses and conservation. Large portions of this area are composed of low-
lying wetlands. Due to the sensitive nature of these lands and because the area does not have
direct access to the Gulf, a maximum overall residential density of 8 units per acre will be
allowed. Cluster-type developments will be encouraged through the use of incentives and are
preferred over traditional residential development patterns. Commercial uses at intersections
with collectors along State Highway 361 are appropriate.
D) Planned commercial uses at the intersection of collector streets may be considered on a case-
by-case basis as development pressure occurs. Strip commercial development will be
prohibited along State Highway 361, unless professionally recognized access management
techniques are provided (marginal access, shared driveways, etc.). This will enhance public
safety and preserve the traffic capacity of State Highway 361. Refer to Figure 5 for
appropriate placement of commercial land uses.
E) A primary goal is to acquire parkland dedication committed from the Terra Mar Subdivision.
The preferred locations for the park acquisition are adjacent to the Wilson Cut near State
Highway 361 or adjacent to Corpus Christi Bay to facilitate water related recreational
activities.
F) Preserve and enhance public beach access at approximate one half-mile intervals.
G) Vehicular access along the Gulf beach shall not be restricted unless necessary for public
safety.
POLICY STATEMENT B.10 -JFK Causeway
Regarding development in this area, the following policies apply:
· .:~ A) The bait and fishing stands located
along the John F. Kennedy (JFK)
Causeway are at the primary
entrance to the Island and are
among the first sights visitors see
of the Island. The City will place a
high priority on the visual
enhancement of this area.
B) Paved parking and structural
improvements will be required.
C) The City will encourage efforts to
beautify, enhance, preserve and
protect the area.
Mustang-Padre Island .4rea Development Plan
Draft October 17, 2003
Page 20
POLICY STATEMENT B.11
Utility lines will be placed underground, where possible, and will minimize disturbance of
wetlands, dunes, or other sensitive habitats. This will improve the aesthetics of the area and
improve public safety, particularly in times of weather emergencies.
A) The installation of new electrical, telephone or other utility lines along expressways, arterials,
and collector streets, or the substantial expansion of existing elec~cal, telephone, or other
utility lines along these roadways must be accomplished underground or underwater.
B) To the extent practicable, all new utility lines must be located or constructed within existing
utility corridors. Existing utility lines are to be relocated underground wherever possible, as
the City and/or State undertake highway-widening projects.
POLICY STATEMENT B. 12
As indicated by Senate Bill 478 of the 70th legislature, the State, for any State land proposed to
be leased for non-governmental purposes, may develop a plan in the best interest of the State to
secure needed zoning or other land-use regulation from the City. The City will work together
with the General Land Office to formulate a plan and appropriate zoning regulations to
allow development to take place in an orderly manner. Once approved by the City and the
State, such plans will enable the City to apply all agreed to development ordinances and
standards.
POLICY STATEMENT B.13
To insure compatibility of energy production activities and tourist-oriented development, the City
will develop design compatibility guidelines and require new oil and gas producers to conform to
these standards. Development plans for extraction or support facilities will undergo site plan
review and inspection for compliance and appropriate screening will be required.
POLICY STATEMENT B.14
Evaluation of proposals for specific recreational vehicle (RV) sites will be based on
compatibility with existing and future land use, access to arterials or expressways, access to
beach/water areas, access to wastewater facilities, and the evaluation criteria in this section.
The Islands are the number one destination point for visitors that come to Corpus Christi and
because of the sensitive island ecology, RV sites must be strategically located on the Islands. In
addition, access to the City wastewater system is preferable to the installation of septic systems to
serve these activities. Existing RV sites include the County's Padre Balli Park, Mustang Island
State Park and the Padre Island National Seashore. Applicable design standards pertain to design
of internal access drives, travel trailer spacing, maximum density, recreational areas, lighting,
signage, refuse disposal, and the accessory uses allowed within the park. Additionally, T-lA
Zoning District regulations require that the travel trailer park be screened from public streets,
highways, and adjacent property by a standard screening fence.
POLICY STATEMENT B.15
The following additional criteria will be applied to the evaluation of RV proposals:
A) The proposed travel traller/RV park will be located with direct access to an arterial street, or
interstate highway as indicated on the adopted City's Urban Transportation Plan.
B) Sufficient infrastructure will be in place, or provided by the developer, to serve the needs of
the proposed RV park.
Mustang-Padre Island .4rea Development Plan
Draft October 17, 2003
Page 21
C) A landscaping plan will be required for the purpose of creating an attractive RV park and an
aesthetically appealing view from adjacent public rights-of-way. Minimum design objectives
for RV park landscaping will be:
a. A 30-foot greenspace/open area, to be landscaped and maintained by the property owner,
must be provided along the periphery of the RV park when adjacent to a single-family
residential zoning district.
b. Palm or Live Oak plantings along all street frontages. Trees must be planted at 30-fi. on
center, within 5 feet of the right-of-way line and a minimum of 7-foot trunk height.
c. Landscape screening (oleanders, salt cedars, etc.) along arterial and collector frontages
D) A site plan will be submitted with the zoning application indicating, in detail, the
following:
1) Internal access drives
2) Travel/RV spaces or lots
3) Location and type of accessory uses
4) Parking spaces
5) Location and size of recreation/amenity area, including restrooms with showers, laundry
facilities, playground, and public facilities
6) Signage (interior and exterior)
7) Location and screening or refuse containers
8) Landscaping (interior and exterior)
9) Landscape screening
10) Sidewalks (if proposed)
11) Boat launching facilities (if proposed)
POLICY STATEMENT B. 16
The minimization of curb and median cuts along South Padre Island Drive/Park Road 22
and State Highway 361 is a primary objective of this plan. Median breaks and curb cuts along
South Padre Island Drive/Park Road 22 and State Highway 361 will be allowed only at
intersections with roadways designated as collector or arterial. To reduce future curb cuts and
create a more unified type of developmem, the City will encourage marginal access along South
Padre Island Drive/Park Road 22 and State Highway 361. To encourage efficient circulation,
future signalization, etc., median and marginal access road curb cuts must not be offset. Such cuts
will be directly across from each other, allowing safer crossing of the roadway.
A) Many of the properties along South Padre Island Drive/Park Road 22 have narrow lot widths
(25'). This creates the potential for numerous curb cuts and a haphazard type of commercial
development.
B) The City will amend the Platting and Zoning ordinance to include minimum lot size
requiremem for each residential and commercial district in this area. This amendment will
help prevent inadequate lot sizes and the potential for a proliferation of curb cuts similar to the
current situation on South Padre Island Drive/Park Road 22.
C) The sharing of driveway access by adjacent lots will be encouraged and incentives created to
accomplish this objective.

C. TRANSPORTATION
POLICY STATEMENT C.1
No changes to the Corpus Christi Urban Transportation Plan map are recommended at
this time. Any policy in this section that suggests changes to the Urban
Transportation Plan will be implemented as an amendment to that plan. Figures 6
and 7 illustrate the Transportation Plan for this area.
POLICY STATEMENT C.2
Emergency access offthe Islands is important now and will become more important as
the Island population grows. The City, in coordinating with the federal, state, and
county governments, will develop a long-term emergency action plan for
maintaining sufficient emergency access off the Islands.
PROGRAM RECOMMENDATION C.3
The City will develop a program that will identify those public or public/private
transportation improvements that would directly benefit the local tourist
industry. Once identified, these potential improvements will be prioritized through
cost/benefit analysis and incorporated into the Capital Improvements Program.
POLICY STATEMENT C.4
The City reserves the opportunity to create a second elevated bridge structure
crossing of the Laguna Madre as part of the proposed South Loop project.
A) The Texas General Land Office now owns most of the property south of the
Kleberg County line. This severely limits the amount of development possible in
that portion of the area. Therefore, the absolute need for such a crossing has been
greatly diminished.
B) For the foreseeable future, the improvements to the J.F. Kennedy Causeway will be
sufficient to handle emergency access off the Islands.
C) Thc purpose of the second crossing would be to direct traffic away from the City
and to relieve the traffic demand at the interchange of South Padre Island Drive and
1-37. Experience has shown that during hurricane emergencies, traffic backs up on South
Padre Island Drive and portions of 1-37. The second crossing should be linked-up with the
regional transportation network such that traffic is funneled away from the City without
further exacerbation of these problem areas.
D) Should development and population trends indicate a possible need for such a crossing, a
feasibility study will be undertaken which addresses:
Need
Location
· Timing
· Cost and funding
· Economic and environmental impacts
· COBRA implications
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
Draft October 17, 2003
Page 23
POLICY STATEMENT C.5
To facilitate access management on South Padre Island Drive/Park Road 22 and State
Highway 361, future development will require access controls, i.e. marginal access drives,
shared driveways, shared parking, etc. Implementation may occur via the Transportation Plan
or incentives such as parking credits.
POLICY STATEMENT C.6
The linear nature of the barrier islands creates long, straight stretches of road conducive to high-
speed vehicular travel, namely State Highway 361. The City will minimize direct driveway
access to this roadway to promote public safety, minimize access conflict points and
preserve road capacity. One suggested concept, illustrated in Figure 8, was designed with the
input of the Mustang-Padre Island Stakeholders Group. Design objectives will be:
A) Provide parallel marginal access roadways to compliment the ultimate development along
State Highway 361
B) Only streets designated as collectors or arterials will be allowed to directly intersect State
Highway 361. All other roadways would access State Highway 361 via the marginal access
roads.
C) Provide bicycle lanes along the marginal access roadways to facilitate tourism and public
safety
D) Curbs and gutters with adequate stormwater drainage system
E) Ample landscaping to promote an a~active, tourist-oriented environment
POLICY STATEMENT C.7
Development trends and patterns support the following standards, as illustrated on the
City's Transportation Plan, for public beach access roads. Spacing is approximately 1/2 (one-
half) mile in Nueces County Beach areas on Mustang and Padre Islands. In Kleberg County the
spacing standard for public beach access roads is 1 - 2 miles. This design standard will provide
sufficient access while discouraging unnecessary cuts through the dunes.
POLICY STATEMENT C.8
The City will pursue grant funding for acquisition and improvement of public beach access
in cases where the platting process does not obtain sufficient pedestrian and vehicular access.
POLICY RECOMMENDATION C.9
The City supports locating terminal sites for high-speed water transportation in the area.
Possible locations include Packery Channel and the Intracoastal Waterway. However, any
proposed site must be located and designed to mitigate any negative noise, traffic, or other effects
that would be detrimental to adjacent existing/proposed uses. Providing a buffer of open space,
screening, landscaping, terminal design and orientation, etc. may reduce such negative effects.
A) Thc Zoning Ordinance may bc reviewed and amended, if necessary, to address water
transportation terminal sites. Development of any water ~ransportation terminal site must be
reviewed by the Planning Commission/City Council to assure appropriate buffering measures
will be built into the terminal design.
B) Initially, emphasis will be placed on locating a terminal site to accommodate the visitor or
day-tripper population. The primary market for the HSWT is expected to be the visitor or day-
tripper, rather than the commuter.

D. PUBLIC SERVICES
POLICY STATEMENT D.I - PARKS & RECREATION
Thc City will research possible additional funding mechanisms to facilitate beach
cleaning. The current beach fee system does not fully fund beach cleaning operations. A
report on the research findings will be submitted to the Director of Parks and Recreation
and the Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee. Possible funding options may
include:
A) Increases in the current fee and permit system
B) Federal and State grants
C) Creation of day-use areas that require an entry fee
POLICY STATEMENT D.2 - PARKS & RECREATION
The park dedication requirement in the
Platting Ordinance will be amended to
specify that the developer will be required
to make specified park improvements
concurrent with the residential
development. This will help improve the
delivery of park services and ensure the
adequate development of parks.
POLICY STATEMENT D.3 -
PARKS & RECREATION
This policy statement is in reference to the
dedication of parkland (45.95 acres) in the Commodore's Cove Unit II, Cape Summer
Unit I and Cape Summer Unit II developments. The requirement for obtaining the
required park dedication will be: Commodore's Cove Unit II - the developer will
fully improve the existing Commodore's Park to standards approved by the Parks and
Recreation Advisory Committee using monies-in-lieu of land dedication. Cape Summer
Units I and II - the developer will provide a fully improved park, 10 acres in size. The
park located in the Cape Summer development must be centrally located to both Unit I
and Unit II. Such park improvements must also be to standards approved by the Parks
and Recreation Advisory Committee. This policy, therefore, requires that of the 45.95 acres of
park dedication, 10 acres will be in land and the remaining will be monies-in-lieu. The developer
will use such monies, exhausting the remaining amount, to complete the aforementioned
improvements and must do so before the residential development is 50% complete before the City
will accept such dedication.
POLICY STATEMENT D.4 - PUBLIC SAFETY
The City will keep statistics on the number of crimes where the criminal element uses the
canal system for access or escape. Currently, the number of crimes that have occurred with
access/escape from the water areas is not known but it is believed that there is not a problem of
sufficient magnitude to warrant a water patrol. Monitoring of this concern will allow the City to
identify trends and determine when a water patrol might be necessary.
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
Draft October 17, 2003
Page 25
POLICY STATEMENT D.5 - PUBLIC SAFETY
The City will pursue an interlocai agreement with Kleberg County regarding policing of the
beach between the city limit line and the National Seashore. The distance between this stretch
of beach and Kingsville, where the Kleberg County Seat is located, is a deterrent to proactive law
enforcement efforts. The public safety would be well served by enhanced law enforcement
presence.
POLICY STATEMENT D.6 - STORMVqATER SYSTEM
The City will conduct a critical analysis and needs assessment of the area's storm drainage
system and amend the Storm Water Drainage Master Plan as determined necessar3, based
on the study's results. This is considered to be a high priority.
POLICY STATEMENT D.7 - WATER AND WASTEWATER SYSTEMS
Figures 9 and 10 illustrate existing City water and wastewater mains and provide projections for
ultimate growth. These figures will be used for planning for future expansion of the water
and wastewater systems.
POLICY STATEMENT D.8 - PROVISION OF SERVICES
The City will support and facilitate the creation of a public improvement district to provide
public infrastructure improvements in portions of the area not adequately supported by
existing public infrastructure. The City would finance such improvements and assess the costs
in an equitable manner among district properly owners in accordance with Chapter 372 of the
Texas Local Government Code.
POLICY STATEMENT D.9 - PROVISION OF SERVICES
The area south of Mustang Island State Park receives all services from the City of Corpus Christi.
Nueces County Water Improvement District No. 4 provides water and wastewater services to the
State Park and areas north of the State Park, with the City providing all other services. This
arrangement will continue for the foreseeable future. The City will continue to work closely
with the District in the future to identify issues and ensure adequate provision of
infrastructure and services to the District's service area. This will include:
A) Creation of joint/compatible development standards between City and District No. 4
B) Provision of adequate and reliable water services to all area property owners
C) Provision of adequate and reliable wastewater services to all area property owners

E. DUNE PROTECTION
INTRODUCTION
State law requires all coastal counties (or coastal cities that have been delegated
authority by counties) to protect critical dunes and dune vegetation from direct or
indirect adverse effects of construction in a critical dune area or seaward of the dune
protection line. The sand dunes that lend beauty to the coastal landscape also serve an
invaluable practical purpose - they give resilience to the barrier island shoreline. Sand
dunes are a coastal community's front line of defense against tropical storms and
hurricanes. By absorbing the force of the storm surge, critical sand dunes help prevem
inland property loss and the loss of lives.
Protecting critical sand dunes is the least expensive and most efficient defense against
storm-surge flooding and beach erosion. Critical sand dunes prevent or delay intrusion
of floodwaters into inland areas. Dunes hold sand that replaces eroded beaches after
storms and buffer windblown sand and salt spray. This natural defense can be
strengthened by increasing the height and stability of existing dunes and by building
new ones.
The growth of coastal population and the increasing development and recreational use of
the barrier islands, threaten the stability of the dune environment. Construction and
heavy recreational use of the beaches and dunes contribute to dune deterioration. The
vegetation that secures sand is destroyed, sand is lost, and roads, trails and storm runoff
breach the dune ridge. Dune damage that results from human activities accelerates the
damage caused by the ever-present wind and wave action.
Inland areas become mom vulnerable to hurricanes and tropical storms when the
continuous dune ridge is weakened. Protecting dunes also preserves and enhances the
beauty of the coast. To succeed, dune improvement and protection efforts must be
undertaken by federal, state, and local government entities. But even more valuable are
dune protection efforts by property owners who recognize the value of a viable dune
system.
DUNE PROTECTION LINE
POLICY STATEMENT E.1
The City will continue to enforce dune protection and beachfront construction regulations
in Kleberg County and will continue to encourage Nueces County to delegate dune
protection authority to Corpus
Christi for areas within the
City's jurisdiction. The City
has been authorized to establish
and enforce dune protection
regulations in Kleberg County
and has requested such authority
from Nueces County. The Dune
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
Draft October 17, 2003
Page 27
Protection Line as established by the City of Corpus Christi, in the City's corporate boundaries in
Kleberg County will be effective for Nueces County upon delegation. This Dune Protection Line
generally coincides with the maximum allowable distance by state law - 1,000 feet landward of
mean high tide at the shoreline of the Gulf of Mexico. This line will also coincide with Nueces
County's existing Dune Protection Line, which has been in effect since 1973. The Dune
Protection and Beachfront Construction boundaries are illustrated in Figure 11.
POLICY STATEMENT E.2
The only exception to established dune protection policy is the area landward of the North
Padre Island Seawall ("Seawall"). The City will continue to support exemption of the Seawall
area from dune protection guidelines. Several important factors distinguish thc area behind the
Seawall from all other areas adjacent to thc Gulf of Mexico within Nueces County:
A) The dunes located landward of thc Seawall do not meet the following criteria for critical
dunes:
1) Sand does not return to beach
2) Isolated area does not contribute to dunes systems to north or south
3) The Seawall serves as protection from storm surge and no dunes exist to provide the same
protection in this area.
B) The area is protected from storm surges by the
significant Seawall improvements of the Padre Isles
and Lake Padre developments.
C) The area between the Seawall and Leeward Drive is
completely outside the 100-year floodplain as
designated by the Federal Insurance Administration.
D) The area landward of Leeward Drive is within flood
zones Al3 (elevations 9 or 10 feet above mean sea
level): the same flood designations as most of the
Padre Isles development.
For the reasons stated above, the man-made dunes west of the concrete seawall are not "critical
dunes" and are not subject to dune protection regulations.
DUNE PROTECTION PERMIT E.3
The Dune Protection Line serves to identify which dunes are "critical dune areas" as def'med by
state law. Its placement determines what areas within a proposed development require a Dune
Protection Permit before construction may begin. The City of Corpus Christi will administer the
Dune Protection Permit process for those areas within its city limits and its extraterritorial
jurisdiction within Kleberg County. However, in Nueces County, Corpus Christi has not been
granted dune protection authority. As such, it is the only city on the Texas Gulf Coast that has not
been delegated dune protection authority by its respective county. Because of separate
jurisdictional authority, coordination between the City, Nueces County and Kleberg County will
be critical to the success of the City's Dune Protection Regulations and its administration. This
coordination will ensure that the policies and objectives of the Texas Coastal Management
Program will be implemented in an efficient manner. Specifics on the regulatory requirements of
the City of Corpus Christi's Dune Protection Permit are contained in the "Dune Protection and
Beach Access Regulations" under applicable sections addressing dune protection. Portions of the
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
Draft October 17, 2003
Page 28
plan dealing with dune protection include required findings, prohibited activities, and the
"mitigation sequence" of development in or near critical dune areas. The mitigation sequence
consists of four basic alternatives to dune protection. These four alternatives include avoidance,
minimization, mitigation, and compensation and are addressed in detail in the Dune Protection
and Beach Access Regulations, Chapter 10 of the City Code.
POLICY STATEMENT E.4
The City will continue to pursue delegation of dune permit authority by Nueces County in
order to create a single approval authority for dune permitting, beachfront construction
certificate and platting. This will facilitate the "one-stop" development process adopted by the
City. The current process of obtaining approval of a proposed development requires that the
County and the City both approve a plan. The submission, presentation and fees are redundant.
The current process is a hindrance to economic development within City jurisdiction and gives
other cities, like Port Aransas, a competitive advantage in attracting development. Nueces County
granted Port Aransas dune protection authority in 1986 and Kleberg County granted the same to
Corpus Christi that same year. The City of Corpus Christi maintains that it is at least as qualified
to hold such authority.
POLICY
STATEMENT E.5
Ali pedestrian
walkovers will be
built over the dunes
with ramps in a
manner that does
not require cutting
through or removal of the dunes. Such structures must comply with the recommendations of the
Texas General Land Office's Dune Protection and Improvement Manual for the Texas Gulf
Coast.

F. BEACH ACCESS
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purpose of this section is to preserve and enhance the public's right to use and have
access to and from the public beach and to support the providing of standards certifying
construction on land adjacent to the Gulf of Mexico consistent with such public rights.
The geographic scope of the City's jurisdiction for beach access includes all areas
within the City's corporate limits and its extraterritorial jurisdiction on Padre and
Mustang Island located between the Gulf beach and the closest paralleling public
roadway or 1,000 feet, whichever is greater. In addition, the City is authorized to
regulate the platting of property and to annex properties within the City's extraterritorial
jurisdiction. Two areas are exempted by General Land Office rules fi.om local
beachfront construction certification requirements. These exempted areas are the
Mustang Island State Park and the Padre Island National Seashore. The City is
requesting State and Federal agencies controlling beachfront property to provide
enhanced access and parking facilities. In addition, certain uses and development such
as oil and gas exploration and livestock grazing are exempted from the requirements of a
dune protection permit, but not a beachfi'ont construction certificate.
Shoreline areas experiencing erosion are of particular concern, as any structures located
adjacent to these areas will be at the highest risk of damage in the shortest time period.
Under rules established by the General Land Office, which are applicable to both beach
access and dune protection review procedures, construction in the eroding areas must be
responsive to the risk of erosion in the future. An erosion area boundary has been
identified through utilizing erosion data provided by the Bureau of Economic Geology.
This boundary projects potential erosion 50 years into the future. Additional
construction standards will apply within this area. These standards are included within
the Dune Protection and Beach Access Regulations.
EXISTING BEACH ACCESS
Approximately 24.7 miles of public beach is within the city limits and extraterritorial jurisdiction
of the City. Currently, seven vehicular roads provide public access to the 14.7 miles of public
beach within the Corpus Christi's area of control with 3 additional beach access roads located
within State and National parks. An additional 10 miles of beach are in either the exempted areas
of the Mustang Island State Park or the Padre Island National Seashore. Beach Access Road # 2
is located approximately one-half mile north of the northern boundary of Mustang Island State
Park. This is the only beach access road between the State Park and Beach Access Road # 1,
located approximately 7.3 miles north of Beach Access Road #2 and 3.6 miles north of the Port
Aransas city limits.
All of the remaining ten beach access roads within the City of Corpus Christi's area of control are
concentrated within a four-mile area between Beach Access Road #3 and Beach Access Road # 6.
This area includes the Seawall and Nueces County's Padre Balli Park and Packery Channel.
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
Draft October 17, 2003
Page 30
The Mustang Island State Park entrance road provides the only vehicular access to the two-mile
long public beach between Fish Pass and south to the vehicular barrier located 0.3 miles north of
Beach Access Road #3. Beach Access Road #3 is located within Mushang Island State Park and
approximately 3/4 mile north of the State Park's southern boundary. It provides access to the
beach between the State Park's vehicular barrier on the north side of Corpus Christi Pass and Zahn
Road. Beach Access Road "North", as it is commonly referenced, is located approximately one
mile south of the northern boundary of the
Padre Island National Seashore. This road
provides the only beach access road
between Beach Access Road # 6 and the
vehicular barrier just south of Access
Road "North" at the north end of the
National Seashore, a distance of
approximately eight miles.
A barricaded parking and day-use area
exists on a portion of the public beach
between Padre Balli Park entrance road
and Bob Hall Pier. Vehicular traffic is
routed immediately landward of both of
these areas.
Currently, most of the public beach within the City's jurisdiction is fully accessible to vehicular
traffic and public parking on the beach. The only restriction on vehicular traffic and public
on-beach parking exist along the Seawall. Public parking is prohibited and vehicular traffic is
restricted to one-way southbound along the Seawall because the public beach has eroded to the
point that the remaining narrow beach area will not permit safe two-way traffic or parking.
POLICY STATEMENT F.1
The City of Corpus Christi will continue the issuance of Beachfront Construction
Certificates within the City's area of jurisdiction. The purpose of the Beachfi'ont Construction
Certificate in regard to beach access is to ensure the rights of the public are being adequately
protected.
BEACH ACCESS POLICIES F.2
This section provides the long-range policies and objectives addressing vehicular and pedestrian
access to the public beaches and public beach parking. The General Land Office (GLO) rules are
very specific as to the requirements of a beach access plan. The central concern as stated in the
Purpose section, is to protect the public's right to use and have access to and from the public
beach and of providing standards certifying construction on land adjacent to the Gulf of Mexico
consistent with such public rights.
Mustang-Padre Island ~4rea Development Plan
Draft October 17, 2003
Page 31
The City must achieve, at a minimum, the following policies and objectives:
A) Dedication of collector roadways, as a function of platting, will be utilized as much as
possible to protect the public right to beach access and enhance public safety.
B) Park dedication, where feasible, will be used to complement the acquisition of public beach
access and public parking for beach users' vehicles.
C) The City will regulate pedestrian and vehicular beach access, traffic, and parking on the beach
only in a manner that preserves or enhances existing public right to use and have access to and
from the beach.
D) The City will not pursue closure of any portion of the public beach to vehicular traffic,
without an overwhelming public safety concern. However, protected pedestrian and beach
user areas may be provided on the beach, only as considered necessary for public safety. The
purpose of the protected areas is to separate vehicular traffic from pedestrian and beach user
areas while also providing through movement of traffic.
E) The City will not impair or close an existing access poim or close a public beach to pedestrian
or vehicular traffic without prior approval from the GLO. For the purposes of this Plan,
beach access and use is presumed to be preserved if the following criteria are met:
1) Public parking on or adjacem to the beach accommodates a minimum of one car for each
15 linear feet of beach.
2) Where vehicles are prohibited from driving on and along the beach, public pedestrian
access ways are no farther apart than 1/2 mile. The minimum spacing may be reduced
based on factors such as existing beach access roads, dune formations, washouts,
breaches, blowouts, wetlands, platt'mg, blockage of ownership, and existing development.
However, each ingress/egress access way for pedestrians must be based on the minimum
spacing of 1/2 mile.
3) Signs conspicuously explain the nature and extent of vehicular controls, parking areas, and
access points. The City may establish its own beach access and use standards for GLO
approval and certification if the GLO finds that such standards preserve and enhance the
public's right to use and access the public beach.
F) It is an objective to provide portable public restrooms, showers, drinking water fountains, and
other such amenities at locations where the highest beach use occurs.
G) It is an objective to provide oversize parking stalls to accommodate oversize vehicles
wherever public parking areas are provided.
H) The City will not abandon, relinquish, or convey any right, title, easement, right-of-way,
street, path, or other interest that provides existing or potential beach access, unless an
alternative equivalent or better beach access is provided.
1) The City will pursue the development of off-beach public parking as soon as possible in order
to enhance public beach access and to ensure public land ownership and access along the Gulf
beach. Improvement of the seawall parking lot is considered to be a high priority. The City
will develop sufficient facilities to allow for prohibiting vehicle movement on the beach,
should it become necessary. Such provision is determined to serve park/recreation objectives
at the local and state levels.
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
Draft October 17, 2003

BEACH ACCESS PLANNING AND DESIGN F.3
The existing beach access system may be adequate now and in the near future for assuring
adequate access to the public beach. However, numerous natural and man-made processes have
caused significant erosion of the public beaches along the Gulf Coast, including Mustang and
Padre Islands. Figure 12 is an invemory of the Beach Access System. If these processes
continue, as they are projected to, the public beach may become so narrow that continued
vehicular use of the beach might be physically impossible or pose a threat to public safety. Future
opportunities for providing public access to the public beach may be seriously diminished as
development of private property landward of the public beach occurs. Also, the increased use of
public beaches will create conflicts with vehicular and pedestrian movement.
In consideration of the aforementioned variables, the City will pursue and support the
following policies:
A) Continue to allow vehicles on the beaches within the City's area of jurisdiction except where it
is determined to be in the overall public safety interest to prohibit vehicles.
B) The City will endeavor to provide additional beach access. Additional beach access roads
would provide access from either State Highway 361 (See Figures 6 and 7), South Padre
Island Drive/Park Road 22, or additional public roadways constructed to preserve public
beach access. To fulfill this objective, the City's Transportation Plan provides for the
following:
· In the Kleberg County portion of the City's ET J, three additional beach access roads will
be provided at approximately two-mile intervals.
· North of Mustang Island State Park, the City will use dedication or condemnation to
ultimately provide beach access roads a~ approximately one-half mile intervals.
C) There will be no greater distance than one-half mile between public pedestrian beach access
ways, should the adjacent public beach limit vehicular access.
D) Off-beach parking facilities will be made sufficient to meet the long-term need for
accommodating beach users' vehicles.
E) No person will create, erect or construct any obstruction, barrier, or restraint that will interfere
with the free and unrestricted right of the public to enter or leave or use any public beach.
However, protection of private property from damage or intrusion caused by the public may
be allowed if in compliance with the Open Beaches Act.

G. PACKERY CHANNEL
PURPOSE AND SCOPE
The purpose of this section is to express the intent and policies of the City in regard to
Packery Channel and related issues. This will include the three phases of the Packery
Channel development project and the related Tax Increment Finance District.
Two important factors relating to Packery Channel are the protection or enhancement of
the environment and the potential for related economic development to the local
economy. The Packery Channel offers benefits in both of these areas. According the
Environmental Impact Statement prepared by the USACE, this conclusion is supported
by:
A Storm Damage Reduction and Environmental Restoration Project at North Padre
Island, Texas (Project) is authorized by Section 556 of the Water Resources
Development Act of 1999 (Public Law 106-53). The House of Representatives
Conference Report (H.R. 106-298) further identifies Congressional intent for this
authorization to be the proposed non-Federal sponsor's project at Packery Channel in
Nueces County, Texas. The non-Federal sponsor is the City of Corpus Christi. The
Project consists of construction of a channel between the Laguna Madre and the Gulf
of Mexico across North Padre Island, referred to as Packery Channel. The U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers, Galveston District, has prepared an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) to address Project impacts. Dredging Packery Channel will provide
sand for nourishment of the eroding beach at Packery Channel that will result in
future storm damage reduction to North Padre Island. The Project will also create a
water exchange pass between the Laguna Madre that will result in ecosystem
restoration. Three alternatives are examined and include Packery Channel, Fish Pass
(a channel north of Packery channel), and South Alternative (a channel south of
Packery Channel). The environmental benefits of all alternatives are small. Because
of larger environmental impacts from the Fish Pass and South Alternative, Packery
Channel was selected as the final alternative in the EIS.
· The selected Project consists of dredging a 12-foot deep by 122-foot wide channel
(280-foot span crest to crest of shoreline armoring) to connect the existing Packery Channel to
the Gulf of Mexico and dredging the existing channel to a depth of-7 feet (mean sea level)
and a width of 80 feet. The total length of the proposed channel from the Gulf end of the
jetties to the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway is approximately 18,500 feet. Approximately
967,500 cubic yards of material will be dredged during construction, most of which will be
placed on the beach south of the proposed jetties. Sandy maintenance material from the
channel east of the SH 361 Bridge will be used for beach nourishment, and a sand bypass
system will be designed to move accumulated sand from longshore drift to the downdrifi side
of the jetties. Approximately 15,000 cubic yards of estimated maintenance dredging every 5
years will be placed in a confined upland site.
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
Draft October 17, 2003
Page 34
· A 1997 HSGA study projects that the project will positively impact, both directly and
indirectly, the local job market. The study finds that by 2018, the project will have produced
some 3,500 new jobs. The new employment will provide an additional $13.8 million in annual
wages to thc area's economy.
· The HSGA study also projects that the new Packery Channel will result in an additional $42
million spent by visitors to the area by 2008. That figure increases to $89 million by 2023.
In terms of existing investment in infrastructure (roads, wastewater, water system, etc.) by the
City, the Packery Channel, relative to the other alternatives is in a far better location to make
efficient use of the existing infrastructure. Furthermore, the Packery Channel location will
encourage more compact future development, rather than providing a catalyst for growth to
the north or south in undeveloped areas.
POLICY STATEMENT G.1
The City will vigorously support and encourage the development and improvement of
Paekery Channel for the purpose of providing a recreational boat pass and enhanced water
exchange to the Laguna Madre from the Gulf of Mexico (See Figure 13). The project will
provide greatly improved recreational facilities, economic development potential on adjacent
public and private lands and will re-nourish adjacent Gulf Beaches. The Packery Channel
Project, when completed, will provide a world-class multipurpose development unique to the
Texas Coast with the potential to attract tourists from all over the state and nation. The project is
consistent with John F. Kennedy Causeway Recreation Area Master Plan Study adopted by the
Texas General Land Office in 1990.
POLICY STATEMENT G.2
State land, leased by the City, on either side of the Packery Channel must be developed in a
manner consistent with Dune Protection and Beach Access Regulations and in accordance
with the Texas General Land Office. A major goal for the City will be to provide a world-class
public recreational opportunity for the visiting public and citizens of Corpus Christi and to
achieve a combination of recreational and tourist-oriented economic development.
POLICY STATEMENT G.3
Private land located north and south of the Packery Channel must be developed with a mix
of high-density/intensity tourist oriented commercial and residential activities. Development
standards for these areas will be of a very high order requiring abundant landscaping, a consistent
urban design theme and public improvements that exceed standard requirements. Consideration
must be given to allowing outdoor repair and maintenance facilities for boats and other vessels as
such a use is warranted by development patterns and demand.
POLICY STATEMENT G.4
A navigable connection between Packery Channel and Lake Padre is considered a priority.
Such a connection will facilitate the development of a future marina capable of accommodating
sailing and power vessels and will provide sufficient water access to Lake Padre residents and
business owners. Any future street or bridge crossings of this channel will not be allowed, as it
would hinder the ability of larger vessels to access Packery Channel.

H. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
The purpose of this chapter is to outline the capital improvements needs as identified in
the Mustang-Padre Area Development Plan. Each project will be identified by type of
improvement (water, street, etc.) and a description of the project will be included. These
projects will be considered for possible inclusion in future capital budgets. For
reference, Appendix C includes the Areas short-term and long-range capital
improvement needs as identified or programmed in the "Fiscal Year 2003 Capital
Budget and Capital Improvement Planning Guide."
POLICY STATEMENT H.1
Following the adoption of the Area Development Plan, Staff will incorporate the
Plan capital improvements into the overall eitywide Capital Improvement
Program in keeping with the overall prioritization and funding available at the
time.
PLAN IDENTIFIED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT NEEDS H.2
PARK AND RECREATION
1) Seawall design objectives must include:
A) Construction of a public parking lot on city land adjacent to the seawall
B) Creation of a pedestrian promenade from the proposed public park lot at the
seawall to the beach
C) Public safety improvements along the length of the seawall need to be addressed
including, ADA compliance, public lighting, safety hand railing, shade, etc.
2) The City will place a high priority on creating a specific Beach Master Plan,
according to recommendation in the Parks, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan.
The Beach Master Plan will include the following elements regarding all Gulf
beaches and City park land adjacent to the Laguna Madre:
Facilities such as bathhouses, showers, portable toilets, etc.
Access facilities - parking, dune walkovers, day use areas, etc.
· Boat ramps and/or portage areas
· Shade structures and pavilions
· Beach maintenance and operations facilities
· Other associated recreational facilities
3) Packery Channel Improvements - Design objectives for recreational
improvements will include:
· Creation of infrasla-ucture to support small to mid-sized special events, etc.
· Concessions
Bath houses and restrooms on both sides of the channel
· Boat ramps
· Public fishing facilities
· Adequate parking, including spaces for vehicles towing boat trailers

PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY
The City will create a water exchange between the existing Padre Isle canal just north of
Cruiser St. and Lake Padre. Such an improvement would improve the water quality and
decrease stagnation in that section of the Padre Isles canals.
STREETS
1) The City will fund improvements to enhance pedestrian and bicycle amenities along
South Padre Island Drive/Park Road 22. The aim is to make this thoroughfare safer for
alternative modes of transportation. Such improvements may include:
· Pedestrian-friendly intersections
· Sidewalks
· Bicycle lanes
· Wider shoulders
2) The public rights-of-way along South Padre Island Drive/Park Road 22 and State
Highway 361 will be landscaped to provide a more aesthetic environment. A design will
be developed and installed that beautifies these transportation corridors. The landscape theme
will be consistent with the area environment and include plantings such as palms and
oleanders. These improvements would, ideally, be undertaken by the State, perhaps with City
participation. Designs will be developed depending on availability of material, etc. such
as:
· Continuous row of oleanders in the median
· Dwarf oleanders and grass in parkway areas
· Intersection landscaping on South Padre Island Drive/Park Road 22 at the intersections off
State Highway 361, Whitecap, and Encantada.
· The intersection landscaping must adhere to requirements of the City's driveway ordinance
and be designed so that sight triangle distances will not be blocked.
3) In order to take advantage of elevation improvements to the JFK Causeway and to
accommodate emergency access off the Islands, the City will, where feasible, elevate
existing major intersections (arterial to arterial, arterial to collector, collector to
collector) to an elevation equal to the lowest elevation of the improved JFK Causeway.
Major intersections with an elevation lower ,than that of the improved JFK Causeway should
be considered in the Capital Improvements Program for improvement.
4) The City will make safety improvements to the intersection of Encantada and South
Padre Island Drive/Park Road 22. The current configuration is confusing and creates an
unsafe point of conflict, particularly for motorist a~tempting to enter northbound South Padre
Island Drive/Park Road 22 from Encantada Avenue.
STORMWATER
The City will commission a study to determine the environmental impacts that future
chaunelization will have on the Island environment, flora and fauna, and water table.
Channelization often occurs with residential and marina developments and as a storm drainage
feature. Channels, however, introduce brackish water inland, which may have negative
environmental consequences and could possibly conflict with the City's plans for a desalination
plant. The study will determine the extent of impact future channels could have on the overall
environment and recommend to what extent such channels should be allowed or disallowed.

WASTEWATER
Prior to annexation by the City, properties along South Padre Island Drive and along Palmira
Street were platted with only access to water or wastewater service but not both services. The
City will, wherever possible, facilitate provision of water and wastewater service to these platted
properties. A possible alternative to the existing situation is to create a Public Improvement
District. Such a district would allow the City to finance needed improvements, then assess
the costs of the completed improvements among the property owners within the district.

APPENDIX A - MUSTANG PADRE ISLAND AREA
DEVELOPMENT PLAN ISSUES
Environment
Dune Protection - Dune protection rules are the primary regulatory vehicle to preserve the sea
wall effect/hurricane protection of the barrier island foredune ridge. New developments within
1,000 feet of mean high tide are required to obtain a dune protection permit. Corpus Christi is the
only city on the Texas Gulf coast, which has not been granted dune protection authority by its
respective county. Within Nueces County, the City of Port Aransas has had dune protection
authority for almost ten years. This arrangement arbitrarily gives the City of Port Aransas a
competitive advantage over development of Island properties in the City of Corpus Christi.
Dune Permitting: The current process of obtaining approval of a development requires that
the County and the City approve a plan. The submission, presentation and fees are redundant.
Often the goals and recommendations of one body are in conflict with the other. This creates a
significant impediment to the developer, as he or she will have to meet the development
requirements of two governmental entities rather than just one. A single approval authority
for dune permitting, beachfront construction certificate and platting is strongly recommended.
Flood Hazard Areas - Much of Mustang and Padre Island are located in FEMA Flood Hazard
Areas. New development through the City permit process must comply with FEMA
requirements. With annexation, all new development on the Island must obtain a building permit
before conslruction. The building permit process as presently administered requires compliance
with FEMA Flood Hazard rules.
Wetlands - Mustang and Padre Islands contain extensive jurisdictional wetlands areas. As a
Phase 1 city (large and medium sized cities over 100,000 population) the Environmental
Protection Agency has placed stringent requirements on the City for protection of wetlands areas.
City requirements in the City Code of Ordinances, including the Platting Ordinance, require a
preliminary determination of wetlands before issuance of a construction permit.
· Identify what development incentives could be provided to create a "buffer area" surrounding
wetlands.
· For informational purposes, place wetlands, dunes and FEMA boundaries on a map in the
plan to illustrate areas of environmental concern.
· Should the City protect non-jurisdiction wetlands?
Coastal Barrier Resources Act {COBRA) - The City has promised to pursue removal of the
Coastal Barrier Resource Act designation on Island properties annexed in 1999 thru 2002. How
can the City best pursue this objective?
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
Draft October 17, 2003
Page 39
Should the City develop policies designed to acquire or preserve wildlife habitat and open
spaces?
· Should the City consider establishing conservation zones?
· Should the City pursue acquisition of remaining Oak Mott tracts as a birding area?
· Should the City establish special open space or green space zoning for those unique natural
areas where no development of any kind is contemplated, i.e. dunes, beach, wetlands? For
example a Conservation/Preservation Zoning District is a possibility.
Existing and Future Land Use
High density residential and tourist oriented development of the highest possible character has
been the vision for the Gulf beach areas. The Laguna Madre side of the Island is usually
considered for high quality lower density residential development.
As density increases, should requirements to provide higher quality and more amenities per
dwelling trait increase?
Should public and private development along Park Road 22 and State Highway 361 be subject to
higher standards of development than typical developments?
Should areas west of Park Road 22 and State Highway 361 be recommended for a combination of
medium and low-density residential development?
Should the City encourage nodal high-density commemiai development as apposed to allowing
strip commemial development along Park Road 22 and State Highway 361 ?
Should the city provide incentives for protection of environmentally sensitive areas on the
Islands? Two areas that have been suggested are Packery Channel Dunes along Playa del Carmen
and to the south and west along Playa del Carmen. What areas would warrant protection? What
incentives could be offered, i.e. parking reductions, greater density of development, etc.?
Urban Design Guidelines and Zoning
Urban design is a term used to define how a community manages the physical and visual
character of its built environment. Urban design has become an increasingly dominant issue on
Mustang and Padre Islands in response the City's desire to promote Island growth, development
and the City's number one tourist attraction. The design quality of the built environment can have
a profound effect on the economic and social health of a city. The quality of the built
environment on the islands affects the Corpus Christi image and attractiveness to developers
searching for high quality business and residential locations. By contrast, a poorly designed urban
environment can be a detriment to investment and economic development. A high quality visual
environment is a fundamental requirement to attract long-term, high-quality investment. The issue
of urban design must be addressed if Corpus Christi is to achieve the quality of development that
most citizens desire.
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
Draft October 17, 2003
Page 40
· Where should Urban Design guidelines be considered?
Entryways to the Island and Gulf beaches.
Along Park Road 22 and State Highway 361.
Increasing the visual quality of the development along the JFK Causeway Area as outlined
in the Village Master Plan.
· What development issues should be considered for inclusion in urban design requirements for
the Islands?
Higher density mixed-use development
Mixed-use compatibility
Pedestrian amenities
Greater signage control
Increased landscaping for private and public development
Architectural Controls
Beach access and parking
View corridors
· Should the City consider an Overlay Zoning District for all of Mustang and Padre Islands to
further urban design objectives?
Neo-traditional development is characterized by medium to high density, mixed use, pedestrian
friendly design and amenities, small front yard setbacks, storefronts, narrower streets and urban
design guidelines. Should the City promote "neo-traditional" development on the Island or
otherwise allow a higher degree of design flexibility?
Si~na~e - Existing agreements provide for limits on signs on the east side of SH 361. Should
efforts be taken to limit billboards?
Should the review of zoning and rezoning requests include the evaluation of whether the existing
infrastructure can effectively handle the additional intensity of land usage?
Storm Drainage
What best management practices for storm drainage should be pursued on the Island? Can storm
drainage improvements be intergraded with wetlands? If so how, can integration be
accomplished?
Should the City explore surface drainage options in lieu of requiring curb, gutter, and
underground drainage systems, due to the drainage characteristics of the Island?
Should the City develop a drainage Master Plan specifically for the Island?
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
Draft October 17, 2003
Page 41
Utilities
Water - What is the future water main plan for the Island?
Wastewater - What is the future wastewater plan for the Island?
"B' Lots of Blocks 20 and 21~ Padre Island Unit 1 - Some of the lots along Park Rd. 22 do not
have adequate access to infrastructure (roads, utilities). How can the City facilitate full access to
the required infrastructure?
There are three parallel power lines on the Island. Should efforts be taken to reduce/consolidate
overhead lines?
The City currently requires streetlights on all projects. How can the City reduce "light pollution"
on the Island while maintaining adequate lighting for public safety?
Transportation
Local access to SH 361 - Should various traffic management techniques be explored to make this
transportation spine safer?
Alternatives discussed included:
· Increased enforcement of the speed limit
· Decreasing the speed limit
· Minimizing the number of driveways accessing onto the highway through the use of local
paralleling collector streets
· Increasing the minimum spacing requirements of driveways
· Constructing paralleling "marginal access" roadways where possible.
The location and cross-section of SH 361 could be reviewed. The current development on the east
side of SH 361 will make a parallel road difficult on the east side of SH 361. The unique
topography and natural resources on the west side will also make a parallel roadway on the west
equally difficult to plan. Should a cross-section with marginal access roads be considered?
Park Road 22 and State Highway 361 - Since a grid system of arterials is not available, should
the City, wherever practical, create a parallel collector system to State Highway 3617
Beach Access
· Access points and parking lots should be developed in a manner so as to protect the
environment in the sensitive dune, beach, and wetland areas. How can the City provide
sufficient beach access and parking to the Gulf beach while being sensitive to environmental
concerns?
· Should the City update the Beach Access Plan and incorporate it into the Mustang Padre
Island Area Development Plan?
Mustang-Padre Island .4rea Development Plan
Draft October 17, 2003
Page 42
The development community has expressed concerns about the impact of the City's Beach Access
Plan upon development. Currently 80 to 100 feet of reservation or dedication is required by the
City of Corpus Christi for future beach access points at ½ mile intervals between SH 361 and the
beach. Should the City consider the use of grants and/or bond programs to purchase the five
remaining beach access points required by the Urban Transportation Plan?
Bicycle Trails - The group suggested adding a bicycle trail into the Plan. There was general
consensus in the stakeholders group that there would be serious safety concerns if the trail were
located on SH 361 due to the high traffic volumes and speeds. Would the City benefit from
pursuing the addition of bicycle lanes on the Island, particularly along SH 361 and Park Rd. 22, or
even bicycle trails to major points of interest?
Street Design - The unique nature of the Island lends itself to non-standard street sections.
· Should cul-de-sac lengths and shapes, construction material and width be reviewed to allow
flexibility in design?
· Should the method of determining when a street is a collector and/or the size of collectors be
reviewed?
Packery Channel
Recreational amenities - What recreational amenities should the City pursue as part of the
Packery Channel Project? Possible amenities might include: boat ramps, bathhouses, parking,
pavilion, observation platforms, concessions/sublease areas (restaurant, tackle shop, rentals),
channel fishing areas, etc.
Beach Festivals location - Once Packery Channel is under construction (July 2003) the former
J.P. Luby Park will no longer be available to accommodate large beach festival events. Where is
the best place to relocate the large festivals like Beach to Bay, Sea Sculptures, Music Concerts,
etc.? What facilities are needed to best facilitate these events?
Beach Renourishment - The Packery Channel Project includes a sand storage and beach
renourishment program for the eroding beach in front of the sea wall. Should the plan have a
supporting policy indicating the beneficial storage and renourishment aspects of the Paekery
Channel Project?
Because of possible erosion problems, enforcement of no-wake in Packery Channel is very
important. How should the City step up enforcement measures?
Public Facilities
Maintenance of Sea Wall and Padre Isles Canals and Bulk Headine - These facilities are
privately owned and the City's policy has been, and is, that the property owners will continue to
maintain them.
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
Draft October 17, 2003
Page 43
Public Facilities - Should the City initiate an Island Public Facilities Survey to determine where,
and in what quantity public facilities such as roads, public parking, public showers, portable
restrooms, etc. exist and are needed in the future?
Should the City develop a Beach Master Plan to address the issue of beach facilities and services?
Beaches
Should portions of the Gulf beach be designated for non-vehicular pedestrian traffic next to the
water while maintaining a vehicular route next to the dunes? If so what areas are most
appropriate?
What beach improvements are needed for the long-term public use of the beach - public showers,
beach access roads, off-beach parking, water and wastewater for public bathrooms, etc.?
High-rise development vs. Low-rise development on Mustang Island between dunes and SH
361 - Provided all dune and beach access requirements are met, should the city promote and
encourage high intensity development on the properties that fi'ont onto the Gulf beaches or should
the city continue to allow either low or high density development?
Parks
Park Dedication - Should private land containing an Open Beaches easement (vegetation line to
mean low tide) and or critical dune areas be subtracted from private land subject to the 5% park
dedication requirement during the Platting Process? Should the City accept private land subject
to the Open Beaches easement and or critical dune areas for parkland? The Platting Ordinance
includes these areas in the calculation of park dedication requirements.
Public Safety
Hurricane Evacuation - Should the City monitor development as to its impact upon evacuation
tunes and make this a criterion to evaluate development?
Development of a Post-Disaster Recovery Plan - This plan would distinguish between
immediate repair and cleanup actions needed to protect public health and safety and long-term
repair and redevelopment activities. Should the City develop such a plan?
Intraeoastal Bridge - Due to the slope of the grade and lack of adequate width, what actions
should the City undertake to expedite the replacement of the bridge?

APPENDIX C - CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT NEEDS
SHORT-TERM CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT NEEDS
PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY
1) Mustang Island Fire Substation: This project will provide for a 24-hour manned modular
substation on Mustang Island to enhance and support fire protection on Mustang and Padre
Islands. This Fire Station will provide service to Mustang Island and back-up service to
Station # 15 on Padre Island. Ambulance Service will be provided out of Station #15, however,
the substation will be a First Responder and will be equipped with the necessary medical
equipment and medication carried on an ambulance so medical treatment is not delayed. Land
has been acquired and a contract for design issued. At the time of this writing, construction is
underway.
2) North Padre Island Storm Damage Reduction and Environmental Restoration {'Packery
Channel): This project is designed to reduce storm damage and provide environmental
restoration along North Padre Island. North Padre Island is subject to severe storm damage,
erosion and scouring. Lack of an opening limits water exchange and tidal flows between the
Gulf of Mexico and the Lagnna Madre/Corpus Christi Bay complex. This project will include
jetties, jetty walkways, shoreline stabilization, bridge protection, dredging and recreation
components. At the tune of this writ'rog, ground has been broken and construction contracts
have been awarded.
3) JFK Causeway Improvements: The JFK Causeway is the only non-ferry evacuation route
for the more than 10,000 fall-time residents of Padre and Mustang Islands. The Causeway is
prone to flooding during periods of mild tropical storm activity. The purpose of this highway
protection project is to provide a safe and efficient island evacuation route during periods of
high tides and tropical storm activity. The raising of the causeway by four to five feet will
provide a more reliable evacuation route for island residents during thc recurring period of
tropical weather events. Construction was initiated in early Spring, 2002.
WASTEWATER
1) Kennedy Causeway Lift Station: Growth in the area has increased demand for sewer service
far exceeding the minimal system initially installed. This project will replace the existing lift
station with new pumps, controls and force main, as required, to comply with state and federal
regulatory requirements. The anticipated completion date for this project is April 2004.
2) Packery Channel Utility Crossine Casine: This project will result in the installation ora
structural casing under the channel to be dredged, for future wastewater service main line
installation. The anticipated completion date is to be decided.
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
Draft October 17, 2003
Page 46
WATER
1) Southside Water Transmission Main~ Phase 7: The last leg of transmission main
improvements will end with the extension of a 30" main. Construction of the new main
(approximately 11,200 feet) includes following a north route just south of Whitecap Blvd.,
then turns eastward into the City's property at the Whitecap Wastewater Treatment plant and
continues in the Whitecap Blvd. right-of-way until it reaches the existing distribution system
at Whitecap Blvd. and Park Rd. 22 intersection. A routing study was completed for this
section of thc project as part of the design contract for Segment A (Phases2, 2a &3). This
project is pending the results of the desalination study.
2) Padre Island Pump Plant Improvements: Long-term improvements to the Padre Island
Pumping Plant include thc extension of the Southside Transmission Main and the possibility
of a desalination facility at some time in the future. Interim improvements are required to
maintain adequate pressures and meet regulatory requirements. A new pump is necessary to
provide an adequate potable water delivery system to Island residents, pending either the
completion of the Southsidc Transmission Main to thc Island or thc construction of a
desalination facility. Anticipated completion date for this project is in January 2004.
WATER SUPPLY
1) Padre Island DesalinafionFacility: In an effort to secure alternative sources of water, the
City is considering a desalination facility to be located on Padre Island. The proposed facility
would be able to produce three to five million gallons per day of drinking water utilizing
brackish groundwater supplemented by seawater. Current funding will provide for a
feasibility study and siting analysis for a facility to be located at either North Padre or
Mustang Island. At the time of this writing, the feasibility study is underway.
LONG-RANGE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT NEEDS
STREETS
1) Aquarius Street Extension - Das Marinas to Commodores Drive: This project involves
the construction of a new street connection between Das Marinas and Commodores.
Presently, only a caliche roadway, Aquarius would be constructed as a functional collector
roadway with one ~ravel lane per direction and curbside parking lanes, including curb/gutter,
sidewalks, underground utilities, lighting and associated ADA improvements.
WASTEWATER
1) Padre Island Area Lift Station and Force Main Improvements: Lift station and/or force
main improvements will be completed to accommodate actual development patterns in the
Padre Island area. These include modifying/upgrading the Coquina Bay, Se Pines, and Gypsy
lift stations as well as replacing force mains that extend between the Sea Pines and Gypsy lift
stations and from the Gypsy lift station to the Whitecap Boulevard trunk gravity system.
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan
Draft October 17, 2003
Page 47
2) Whitecap Wastewater Treatment Plant Bulkhead Replacement: The existing plant is built
on dredged fill behind a sheet pile bulkhead. This steel bulkhead is in need of structural
modifications and improvements. Portions of the bulkhead have collapsed, requiring interim
repairs. This project addresses the long-term solution to the structural stability of the
bulkhead.
WATER
1) Southside Transmission Main Phases 6 & 7: This project includes construction of the £mal
sections of the Southside Water Transmission Main. This project will begin at Laguna Shores
Drive (end of Phase 5) and extend a 30-inch main across the Laguna Madre to Padre Island
and the intersection of Whitecap Boulevard and Park Road 22. A routing study has been
completed for this section of the project and preliminary cost estimates have been compiled.
WATER SUPPLY
1) Padre Island Desalination Facility: In an effort to secure alternative sources of water, the
City is considering a desalination facility to be located on Padre Island. The proposed facility
would be able to produce three to five million gallons per day of drinking water utilizing
brackish groundwater supplemented by seawater. Current funding will provide for a
feasibility study and siting analysis for a facility to be located at either North Padre or
Mustang Island.
