Mayor McQueen referred to Item 29. Interim Director of Development Services

the right-of-way is to be abandoned and whether the property could be sold. In

dedicated to the City as an easement. Since the City is choosing to abandon
the property, it would have to be returned to the abutting owners and the City
could not sell the property. The estimated value of the property is
approximately $500,000 and would be retained as an easement. There were no
comments from the Council or the public.

There are 55 boards & commissions with 607 total appointments…
Council members, Thank You for taking time to read our applications.
I put this 1-pager together for you to be efficient with your time:
In order to truly represent you, I believe all appointees can offer greater value by:
1) Understanding the challenges our City is facing: water supply development,
infrastructure/utilities, job creation/retention, & truly represent the City’s view.
2) Offering a strong commitment to give 100%, be engaged, and communicate
with you as often as you request/ask. Some simply don’t even read the agendas!
3) Challenge the Status Quo & Focus on solutions that make sense both short & long
term, and most importantly improve value to our citizens.
I offer to you: a true understanding of the City’s challenges, a very strong
commitment, a willingness to challenge status quo, and a focus on solutions by
putting my name in for your consi deration for the Port of Corpus Christi.
I hope to have earned your support.
Respectfully submitted,
Chad Magill

“Commitment is the
ability to continue to
be accessible and
invested in the goals
of the whole
community, not just
our own personal
ambitions...
Commitment is what
transforms the
promise into reality,
investigation into
understanding, ideas
into substance...
It is the words that
speak boldly of our
intentions and the
actions which speak
louder than the
words. It is making
time when there is
none. And
commitment is
coming through time
after time, after time,
year after year, after
year...
Commitment is the
stuff character is
made of; The power
to change the face
of things. It is the
daily triumph of
integrity over
skepticism.
When I say I love this
community, I mean
that I'm committed
to love it, honor it
and work for it, even
in the face of
adversity.
I truly hope I have
your support to
represent you.”

COMPOSITION Board of Directors consist of eleven (11) members - five (5) appointed by the City
Council; three (3) appointed by Nueces County Commissioners Court; two (2)
appointed by the Mayors of Cities in the Transit Authority other than Corpus
Christi, and the Chairman who is appointed by the Board. The principal
municipality shall make its appointments to the board so that at least one of the
appointees is designated to represent the interests of the transportation
disadvantaged. The statute does not mandate that this Board member be
transportation disadvantaged. If the Chairman is from the membership, the entity
that appointed that person will appoint a replacement. Terms shall be for two
years; members may serve up to eight consecutive years as stated by State Law.
The State Sunset Committee suggests that the appointing bodies should consider

ABEL ALONZO BIOGRAPHY
Abel Alonzo is a native of Corpus Christi and for the past 35 years has been a community
advocate and a voice for many of his heartfelt causes. Not only is he a political watchdog, he is a
strong advocate for people with disabilities, mental health issues, and a motivational speaker for
youth on drug and gang awareness. To understand Abel's drive and passion to be a positive
community advocate, you have to understand his background.
Born in 1947, Abel grew up in the notorious Corpus Christi Westside neighborhood known as
"La Cuarenta". The neighborhood environment was riddled with gang violence and drugs on a
daily basis. Although Abel was raised by a strong mother, the absence of his father drove him to
look up to elder gang members as role models. Abel began using drugs and joined a gang at an
early age, and by the age of 15, was kicked out of school for continually fighting and selling
drugs. At the age of 17, Abel was beat up, shot point blank in the throat, and left for dead.
Having survived his injuries, Abel went through a long period of depression, self-pity/hate and
denied any faith in God. Through this depression he continued to use and sell drugs, but then
realized that he needed to educate himself if he wanted to become more independent
In 1976, Abel earned his GED and subsequently his Associates Degree in Mental Health from
Del Mar College and by 1981, received his Bachelors Degree in Sociology from Corpus Christi
State University. He became a strong advocate speaking on behalf of people with disabilities,
however still felt a spiritual void until he was invited to be a pilgrim on a Journey to Damascus.
Leaving his bad habits behind, Abel found his drive and spiritual purpose, and continued his
community advocacy full force. He has become a trusted voice and has been appointed to many
boards and committees such as the Regional Transit Authority Board and the Corpus Christi
Airport Board. He currently holds positions on the City of Corpus Christi's Human Relations
Commission (Vice -Chair), MHMR of Nueces County's Board of Trustees, and the Regional
Transit Authority's Committee on Accessible Transportation (RCAT).
Abel is also the Founder and Chairman for the Nueces County I Believe In Me Foundation; a
nonprofit, community-based, outreach program targeting at -risk groups such as low-income,
youth, homeless, and/or disabled persons. He also does a lot of his outreach through his talk-
radio/cable
alkradio/cable show "La Voz con Abel Alonzo" (on KTMV cable station, Majic 104.9 FM and 93.5
FM radio stations), in which he invites other community advocates, leaders and elected officials
to speak on various local issues and events.
Abel has continually volunteered his time and has had successful efforts in fund raising for
various community causes such as the Westside Business Association and La Voz con Abel
Alonzo & Friends Holiday Spirit of Giving and for other causes through Verdades y Chismes
with Vicente Carranza talk -radio show. He is a distinguished graduate of Leadership Corpus
Christi (1997-98) and a graduate of Partners in Policy Making though the Texas Planning
Council for Developmental Disabilities. He has also received several awards including the
President's Award from the Westside Business Association in recognition of outstanding
contribution to the community; Del Mar College Foundation's Founding Member Award in
recognition of support of the advancement of educational excellence; and a Certificate of
Excellence from the Corpus Christi Caller Times and KRIS TV in recognition of outstanding
contributions for the betterment of the citizens of South Texas.
Abel believes the more successful you become in life, the more responsible you need to be in
giving back to your community. Growing up surrounded by drugs, gangs, and violence has
given Abel an appreciation for life and he continually exudes his beliefs and experiences through
his advocacy in order to reach out and better his community.

Today at the Board meeting a question came up about the new legislation relating to
appointees to the RTA Board. House Bill 1621 as passed by the Legislature last year amended
Chapter 451 of the Transportation Code to require that at least one member of the RTA Board
appointed by the City of Corpus Christi be designated as a representative of transportation -
disadvantaged individuals. Specifically, Section 451.502(g) provides as follows:
(g) The principal municipality shall make its appointments to the board so that
at least one of the appointees is designated to represent the interests of the
transportation disadvantaged.
The definition of "transportation disadvantaged individuals" is provided in Section
451.001 of the Transportation Code:
(9) "Transportation disadvantaged" means the elderly, persons with
disabilities, and low-income individuals.
As Y mentioned at the RTA Board meeting today, this Bill only applies to the City of
Corpus Christi which is the "principal city" for the RTA. Further, it does not require that any
Board member be a person with a disability but requires that the City designate one person to
represent the interests of transportation -disadvantaged individuals, which includes the elderly and
low-income individuals as defined by the new law. A copy of the Bill is enclosed.
I hope the above clarifies the issue. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

To Whom 1t May Concern:
Mr. Donnie Contreras was employed at Coastal Bend College as a kinesiology instructor from August
1988 to May 2007. In this capacity, Donnie was responsible for teaching many different kinesiology
courses while also directing the college's intramural program. Additionally, during his tenure Donnie
was named as Department Chair of this division and he performed his duties to a remarkable degree of
excellence.
In my earlier experience, I had the opportunity to interview and recommend Mr. Contreras for
employment at Coastal Bend College. We worked very closely together until 2005 when I left Coastal
Bend College for my current position at New Mexico Junior College. During our time together, I found
Donnie to be a wonderful teacher and a great asset to our college. He maintained a tremendous
rapport with his students and his student evaluations continually demonstrated a high level of
excellence. Additionally, Donnie freely accepted additional responsibilities and performed these duties
very well.
Mr. Contreras left Coastal Bend College due to a reduction in workforce brought about by budgetary
shortfalls. In my opinion, Donnie will perform his responsibilities at your organization at a very high
level of expertise and ! highly recommend him for employment.

This letter concerns Donaciano Contreras. Mr. Contreras was previously employed with
Coastal Bend College from August 1988 to May 2007. He served as a Kinesiology
Instructor for many years. In this position, he was responsible for teaching and
mentoring students on the aspects of Kinesiology and physical education. He also
assumed many other duties and responsibilities, such as being the Kinesiology
Department Chair and being involved in extramural sports, in particular coaching
basketball.
Mr. Contreras' contract was non -renewed as part of a reduction in workforce due to
budgetary constraints. At all times his evaluations were very good to excellent. During
his employment, Mr. Contreras consistently demonstrated a willingness to work
diligently on behalf of the College and an ability to function independently on complex
tasks.
Coastal Bend College wishes Mr. Contreras success in his future endeavors. If your
organization is seeking an individual with his qualifications and abilities, it should
consider Mr. Contreras to fill such a position.

This let -ter -is in regard to Donaciano Contreras. Mr. Contreras was employed with Coastal Bend
College from 1988 to 2007, I would like to express that Donaciano (Donnie) and I have been
close friends since then. Donaciano was the Kinesiology Instructor for all these years. He was
responsible for teaching, mentoring and advising majors on all facets of Kinesiolgy and physical
education. As an instructor he had other responsibilities and duties, which included being the
Department Chair for Kinesiology. He coached basketball and was involved in the scheduling
and execution of the extramural sports, was very well liked by his peers and students.
Coastal Bend College had a budget shortfall a couple of years ago, in which Mr. Contreras'
department was downsized, and unfortunately Mr. Contreras' contract was non -renewed. He
always demonstrated professionalism, willingness to work countless hours for his department
and helping other departments as well. While at Coastal Bend College he attended leadership and
grant writing seminars to improve quality instruction and expansion of his department and of the
college. He was involved with the Bee County Leadership council and numerous citywide youth
sports organization.
I believe that your organization would benefit tremendously with Mr. Contreras' knowledge,
abilities and qualifications. I highly recommend Mr. Contreras.

Dear Council Members,
This letter is to express my interest in the RTA Board Members Position that has recently
been posted with the unexpected resignation of Mr. Tony Elizondo. I have worked
many hours throughout the years on 2 city committees. I have a working experience and
years of knowledge of working with the RTA.
I was on the original committee that explored throughout the USA for the perfect
Transportation System. Many long months of ongoing research by this committed drove
us to write a proposal while approaching every voters to vote for the plan, now known as
the Regional Transportation Authority in Corpus Christi. With voter approval, now RTA

Objective
My objective is to obtain employment in my area of expertise, transportation. For the past twenty-seven years I have worked in the
professional transportation field in some capacity. From my start as a bus operator for Pharr-San Juan-Alamo I.S.D. to my time as the
General Manager of MV Transportation in Corpus Christi, TX, I have had the opportunity to learn most facets of the transportation
field. I have become familiar with, among other aspects, route logistics, safety protocols, and budget management. I have also continued
to refine my driving skills since driving was my first passion and has since become a lasting one. Most importantly, I have experience in
both managerial and non-managerial positions, which has given me unique insight into both sides of transportation. I have learned, in
other words, to balance the interests of my employer with those of my employees, which leads to a fair, efficient, and productive
workplace.

“Commitment is the
ability to continue to
be accessible and
invested in the goals
of the whole
community, not just
our own personal
ambitions...
Commitment is what
transforms the
promise into reality,
investigation into
understanding, ideas
into substance...
It is the words that
speak boldly of our
intentions and the
actions which speak
louder than the
words. It is making
time when there is
none. And
commitment is
coming through time
after time, after time,
year after year, after
year...
Commitment is the
stuff character is
made of; The power
to change the face
of things. It is the
daily triumph of
integrity over
skepticism.
When I say I love this
community, I mean
that I'm committed
to love it, honor it
and work for it, even
in the face of
adversity.
I truly hope I have
your support to
represent you.”

CIP Description:Staples Street Pump Station Improvements
The South Staples Booster Pump Station is equipped with two high service pumps that
presently serve the South Side service area. Current operations indicate that additional pumps
may be needed to maintain the minimum required pressure. An upgraded pumping system will
enable the pump station to meet upcoming demand associated with planned decommissioning
of the Holly Road Pump Station. The project will address pumping backup requirements during

pump maintenance. Addition of Variable Speed Drives (VSDs) will improve pumps and provide
more efficient energy use. Electrical upgrades are also required in order to meet the Alternative
Capacity Requirement (ACR) as required by Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
(TCEQ). Control system upgrade will allow the pump station to operate automatically,
unmanned.
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
The pump station is located on the south side at the Farm to Market (FM) 2444 (Staples Street)
and FM 43 intersection. This project increases the existing pump station capacity from 10
Million Gallons per Day (MGD) to 13.75 MGD and improves the efficiencies for the operations
and maintenance.
The existing Staples Street Pumping Plant was designed per the City’s 1997 Water Master Plan
with initial maximum capacity of 10 MGD, and ultimate capacity of 20 MGD. The pump station
was constructed in 2001 with the 10 MGD capacity using the two 5 MGD pumps. The two
existing 5 MGD pumps are now at the end of their useful life and cannot efficiently meet the
current or future demands. Continued growth on the south side has increased the demands on
the pump station that requires the existing pumps to operate outside the peak operating curves.
When pumps operate outside the peak design curves (efficiency of the pump of required
horsepower versus the measured output), the power usage is higher and greater fatigue on the
pump.
City Council awarded an engineering services contract to Urban Engineering to replace the two
5 MGD pumps and increase the capacity to 20 MGD with the four pump configuration; two 5
MGD and two 10 MGD pumps. During design phase, an amendment was awarded by City
Council to conduct modeling the water system with various design capacities to better align the
pump station with the City’s Alternate Capacity Requirement (ACR) plan that was approved by
Texas Commission for Environmental Quality (TCEQ). As a result, the design capacity was
reduced to 13.75 MGD firm capacity with a configuration of three 7.5 MGD pumps. One pump
is designed for redundancy to allow maintenance and pump cycling to improve performance,
reliability and maintenance. The new pumps will also be variable speed pumps allowing greater
range of operating curves and efficiencies. The new design is more cost efficient for
construction, operations and maintenance.
This item provides for the construction contract award to install three new 7.5 MGD pumps and
associated valves, piping, mechanical, electrical, upgrades to the supervisory control and data
acquisition (SCADA) system and other miscellaneous improvements at the Staples Street Pump
station. The operation of two pumps simultaneously achieves the required capacity of 13.75
MGD and place the pumps at the optimal operating curves for efficiency.
The project is critical to the overall ACR plan and must be operational in the fall of 2017 prior to
the commissioning of the new elevated water storage tanks currently under construction at Holly
Road.
On November 16, 2016, the City received proposals from five (5) bidders and the respective bids
were as follows:
The City’s consultant, Urban Engineering analyzed the five proposals and recommended the
project be awarded to Associated Construction Partners, Ltd. Based on a review of Associated
Construction Partner’s experience and resources, Associated Construction Partners is qualified
to provide the construction services for the project.

CAPTION:
Resolution adopting the City of Corpus Christi’s State Legislative Priorities for the
85thTexas Legislature and Federal Legislative Priorities for the 115th U.S. Congress.
PURPOSE:
The City Council regularly adopts a legislative agenda prior to a new state and federal
legislative session convening. The resolution identifies the policy and appropriations priorities of
the City Council for the 85th Regular Session of the Texas Legislature, which runs from January
10, 2017, until May 29, 2017, and the 115th United States Congress, which convenes on
January 3, 2017 until January 3, 2019 (two annual sessions).
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
The City’s General State Legislative Policy (below) is used to guide the City’s contract lobbyists
and the Intergovernmental Relations Department in evaluating state and federal legislative
proposals not covered by the City’s specific legislative policy initiatives.
General State Legislative Policy
The City SUPPORTS legislation and/or
administrative actions that:
The City OPPOSES legislation and/or administrative
actions that:
Protect and enhance City revenues.Undermine the principle of home rule and local control
by the City.
Reduces or eliminates costs to the City.Results in the loss of revenue or negatively impacts
potential revenue growth to the City.
RESOLUTION
Adopting the City of Corpus Christi’s State Legislative Agenda for the 85th
Texas Legislature and the Federal Legislative Agenda for the 115th United
States Congress.
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
Future Item for the City Council Meeting of December 20, 2016
Action Item for the City Council Meeting of January 10, 2017
Supports local control.Diminishes the authority of cities to regulate and
manage their growth and development.
Protects policies previously established by
City leadership through the Charter,
ordinances, resolutions, and master
plans.
Nullifies or undermines the City’s policies contained in
existing provisions of the Charter, ordinances,
resolutions, and master plans, unless such changes
expand the City’s ability to manage its own affairs.
Provides increased educational
opportunities and job creation/retention for
the citizens of Corpus Christi and the
Coastal Bend region through the Port of
Corpus Christi authority, public schools,
community colleges and universities
Imposes unfunded mandates that requires any
expenditures by the City unless all costs are fully
reimbursed by the mandating governmental entity.
The City’s IGR Department identified three levels of importance on state legislative issues,
which the City Council selects for each of the state appropriations or policy recommendations.
Priority – means the City will actively pursue and support/oppose the policy, including, if
necessary, seeking introduction and passage of legislation. This would include purely
local Corpus Christi bills, as well as very important legislation of statewide application.
Actively Support/Oppose – means the City will aggressively attempt to influence
passage/defeat of a measure if it is introduced by some other entity.
Endorse – means the City will make its support or opposition known, but will not actively
pursue the issue.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Council can choose to:

Legislative Agenda
85th Texas State Legislature
The United Corpus Christi Chamber of Commerce’s agenda for the 85th Texas Legislative
Session builds on the progress of recent years while committing to address long-term
challenges. The Chamber will continue to lead initiatives to strengthen our business
climate, drive improvements in education, attract and retain the best and brightest
workforce from around the world, promote a regulatory climate that offers stability and
predictability to investors and advocate for public policies that strategically manage our
region’s growth to ensure a high quality of life for all.
Economic Development: The Chamber supports
●Appropriating sufficient funding to maintain the Texas Enterprise Fund balance of
at least $200 million per biennium, to attract high-value companies to Texas. The
TEF helps persuade large job-creating companies to choose Texas. Since its 2004
inception, the TEF helped Texas create more than 70,000 direct and 250,000
indirect jobs and $21 billion in capital investment.
●The Texas Economic Development Act incentive program in Chapter 313,to
attract capital investment projects to Texas.Since 2009,these projects have
garnered more than $21.1 billion in investments and a projected $47.3 billion
investment over the lifetime of the projects’ agreements.
●Protecting economic development tools which attract new jobs and companies to
Texas, including but not limited to: Skills Development Fund, CPRIT, Sales & Use
Tax Exemptions (to include the R&D tax credit), Enterprise & Tax Increment
Financing Districts, Miscellaneous Provisions Related to Planning (Ch.312, 380,
381) and the $1 million small business franchise tax exemption.
●An exceptional item of $9.5 million to allow the Lone Star Unmanned Aircraft
System Center (LSUASC) to expand its UAS research and operations and facilitate
the FAA’s safe integration of UAS into the national airspace. The item would allow
the LSUASC to further assist companies and state agencies with integration of
UAS strategies into their operations; develop Texas as a leader in the emerging
UAS industry; help prepare students and others for jobs requiring UAS expertise;
keep Texas competitive with other states with test sites; and fulfill the university’s
education, research and commercialization missions.

Windstorm Insurance Reform: The Chamber supports
●Protecting the reforms achieved in SB 900, including the restructuring of the
governing board to put policyholders on equal footing with insurance industry
members, establishing TWIA financial structure that provides a stable, sustainable
and affordable rate structure capable of covering a 1-in-100 year storm, requiring
member insurance companies to pay allowable assessments sooner, establishing
a small statewide catastrophic storm fund for excess losses, and structuring a
more financially beneficial re-insurance program.
●Creating incentives to promote voluntary coverage of windstorm and hail policies
on the Texas Coast.
●Pro- policyholder strategies and policies that promote and protect the Texas Gulf
Coast.

formula-funded quality pre-K programs.State funding formulas have not kept
pace with the changing demographics and educational needs of local
communities.
●Investing to achieve the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board’s 60x30TX
plan,including full TEXAS Grants awarded to eligible students.Increasing the
number of Texas students who graduate with a college degree or certificate is

●Maintaining funding for higher education formulas to ensure high quality teaching
and support services that prepare students for the workforce.
●An exceptional item for Texas A&M University Corpus Christi of $2 million to
assist with the start-up of civil and industrial engineering programs, which will

that directly promote hotel activity and, clarifying state venue tax law to make the
statutory wording consistent with legislative intent regarding “other facilities” as
they pertain to convention center facilities.
●Utilizing the deep-water Port of Corpus Christi cruise option to foster economic
opportunity statewide by developing the Cruise industry between Calhoun and
Cameron counties, estimated economic impact-- $2 billion.
●Preserving the Uniform School Start Date Law (4th Monday in August), which

●Legislation that would directly benefit parks, recreation, open space, trails,
tourism, health and wellness (i.e. utility corridors and mobility), including

sporting goods sales tax revenues for use in state and local parks that would
directly benefit parks, recreation, open space, trails and tourism.

Modifying and Expanding the Central Texas Corridor
The Gulf Coast Strategic Highway Coalition requests that Congress revise the Central Texas Corridor
description in statute as follows:
[1] Eliminate the section of US 190 from I-10 in Pecos County to Brady in McCullough County from the
Central Texas Corridor.
Include the following routes in the Central Texas Corridor and the I-14 system in Texas:
[2] From a connection to Interstate 20 in the vicinity of Midland, Texas, following SH 158 eastward to
US 87 and then following US 87 southeastward, passing in the vicinity of San Angelo, and
connecting to US 190 in the vicinity of Brady, Texas
[3] US 83 southward from the vicinity of Eden, Texas, to a logical connection to Interstate 10 at
Junction, Texas
[4] US 96 from I-10 at Beaumont, Texas, north to US 84 in the vicinity of Tenaha, Texas
[5] US 69 from I-10 at Beaumont north to US 59 in the vicinity of Lufkin, Texas
REASONS FOR AMENDING CORRIDOR
The Coalition has had the opportunity since passage of the FAST Act to gather further input from
stakeholders in West Texas. A route that includes the population and commercial centers at
Midland-Odessa and San Angelo will provide significantly more benefit to the traveling public and
freight shippers than a route running west to I-10 through a series of sparsely populated counties.
Overall the corridor, including connecting routes, will provide the strategic benefit of better
connecting three significant U.S. Army facilities to each other and to the strategic deployment
seaports at Beaumont and Corpus Christi. These revised corridor routes will provide greater
efficiency in the movement of freight statewide and nationally.
The addition of a spur route following US 83 from Eden south to I-10 at Junction will create an
efficient all-freeway freight route connecting West Texas energy producing regions with
manufacturing centers and global shipping connections on the Texas Coast. It will further provide a
faster, safer route for motorists between the Permian Basin, San Angelo, San Antonio and Corpus
Christi.
The addition of a spur route on US 96 north from Beaumont to Tenaha and a spur on US 69 north
from Beaumont to Lufkin will significantly improve military access to the Port of Beaumont. Both
spurs will provide connections to future Interstate 69 and provide an alternative interstate route
outside the Houston airshed. These routes will improve the safety of the public travelling across the
state and, significantly, will provide greater hurricane evacuation capacity for growing population
and industrial centers in the Beaumont-Port Arthur and Greater Houston coastal zone.

The Central Texas Corridor approved by Congress in the 2105 FAST
Act includes the section of US 190 from Brady to a connection with
Interstate 10 in Pecos County. Members of Congress and the Gulf
Coast Strategic Highway Coalition now think a better route for
future 1-14 will instead have the corridor run west from Brady
through San Angelo and to Interstate 20 at Midland, benefiting
those existing population and commercial centers. An
amendment to the congressional designation is being sought.

Federal Legislative Priorities
115th Congress 2017-2018
The political landscape in Washington, D.C.,which results from elections and the turnover in
legislative branches and governmental agencies, shapes the business environment in which the
Intergovernmental Relations (IGR) Department operates. It is constantly evolving due to those
elected and administrative leadership outcomes, changes in statutes and regulations, changes in
the economy, changes in community needs, and any number of other forces. The IGR
Department’s responsibility is to navigate the political environment to achieve the City’s
legislative, administrative and regulatory policy and funding needs.
In Washington, D.C., where congressional gridlock has existed for many years due to partisan
differences, the November 8, 2016 election, will usher in a new Presidential administration, but
not the control of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. The flow of legislation,
appropriations of funds, appointments of key federal officials, rulemaking decisions and
regulations from federal agencies could drastically change as a result of the elections. The Texas
congressional delegation could provide some stability as there was little turnover (only two new
members). Neither of Texas’ U.S. Senators was up for election this cycle. With control of the
U.S. House remaining with the Republican Party, Texans are likely to chair seven standing
committees. This gives Texas significant legislative potential.
The governance structure of local, state, and federal governments with inter-mingled programs,
financing, and customers creates a demand for intergovernmental cooperation. To be successful,
this ever-evolving business environment requires close contact and constant communication with
legislative leadership, external legislative consultants, municipal advocacy organizations at the
state and national level, statewide municipal partners, community leadership, and community
stakeholders. The IGR Department must monitor an array of issues impacting municipalities –
including structure and governance, finance, workforce, land use regulation, planning, zoning,
housing, construction, utilities, law enforcement, fire protection, tax policy, tourism,
transportation, economic development, environmental issues, and more. The IGR Department
must utilize information technology, enhance personal contacts, and engage additional resources
to ensure the City’s legislative, administrative and regulatory policy and funding needs are
communicated effectively. The City contracts with well-connected, experienced and highly
professional lobbyists at the state and federal level to assist with its advocacy and
communications efforts. The City’s federal lobbyist is Larry Meyers of Meyers + Associates,
LLC.
At the local level, the IGR Department must work with local and regional stakeholders, officials,
agencies and organizations to create partnerships to further community support. Relationship
building and the exchange of information and ideas is gained through participation and service
Page 2 of 7
on committees, attendance at organization meetings, and sponsorship of community functions
which align with the City’s goals and mission.
The Budget Control Act of 2011 (commonly referred to as sequestration), which mandates
federal budget cuts between 2013 and 2021 split evenly between defense spending (except war
spending) and discretionary domestic spending (except entitlements like Social Security and
Medicaid) will continue to impact federal programs and services. As the home of Naval Air
Station Corpus Christi, the Corpus Christi Army Depot, the U.S. Coast Guard Sector Corpus
Christi, numerous federal agency offices, and the Padre Island National Seashore, federal
spending cuts could cause impacts in the future.
Significant effort will be required of the City, its elected leaders, its dedicated staff and essential
stakeholders to deliver successful outcomes during the two annual sessions of the 115th
Congress.
The City generally supports bills that:
Protects and enhances City revenues.
Reduces or eliminates costs to the City.
Supports local control.
Protects policies previously established by City leadership through the Charter,
Ordinances,
Resolutions or Master Plans.
Provides increased educational opportunities for the citizens of Corpus Christi and the
Coastal Bend region by supporting its public schools, community colleges and
universities.
The City generally opposes bills that:
Undermines the principles of Home Rule and Local Control.
Results in the loss of revenue or negatively impacts potential revenue growth.
Diminishes the authority of cities to regulate and manage their growth and development.
Nullifies or undermines the City' s policies contained in existing provisions of the
Charter,
Ordinances, Resolutions and Master Plans - unless such changes expand the City' s
ability to manage its own affairs.
Imposes unfunded mandates that require any expenditure by the City unless all costs are
full reimbursed by the mandating governmental entity.
Page 3 of 7
Specific legislative priorities of the City of Corpus Christi for the 115th Congress include:
P R I O R I T I E S
Military
1. Require significant new requirements for the Department of Defense (DoD) Siting
Clearinghouse before authorizing construction of a wind farm if the proposed project
interferes with the navigational radar and poses a threat to national security, pilot safety and
public safety.
Previous Bill: NDAA amendment by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Rep. M. Thornberry (R-TX),
114th Session
Background: The DoD Siting Clearinghouse presently evaluates a project’s impact on
military operations and readiness, including impacts to air operations, but it fails to take a
comprehensive look at the cumulative impacts of existing and proposed turbines and how
that impacts navigational radar and the threat to national security and pilot and public safety.
2. Authorize City and Navy to exchange City-owned land in clear zones of Navy landing fields
for Navy-owned land on State Highway 358.
Previous Bill: none
Background: The Navy wants title to all land in Clear Zones to prevent incompatible
development. Over the last 20+ years the City has acquired parcels within Clear Zones on
behalf of the Navy. The Navy owns property fronting on SH 358 it considers excess and
would like to trade with the City.
Tax Code
3. Eliminate the Production Tax Credit for wind farms within a certain distance of a military
installation if the proposed project interferes with the navigational radar and poses a threat to
national security, pilot safety and public safety.
Previous Bill: S. 3428 by Sen. J. Cornyn (R-TX), 114th Session
Background: The Production Tax Credit is a federal incentive that provides financial support
for the development of renewable energy facilities. The renewable energy projects receive a
2.3-cent per kilowatt-hour (kWh) incentive for the first 10 years of a renewable energy
facility's operation. Originally enacted in 1992 the credit has outlived its original purpose and
now gives the wind industry an economic incentive it no longer needs.
4. Oppose legislation eliminating the tax exempt status of municipal bonds.
Previous Bill: none
Background: The exemption is not a special interest loophole and should not be treated as
such. Municipal bonds are the primary way local and state governments finance
infrastructure, and have been for over a century. Over two-thirds of all public infrastructure
projects in the United States are financed by municipal bonds. Voters and governmental
Page 4 of 7
bodies approve issuance of these bonds, which are then purchased by private individuals,
mutual funds and financial institutions. The interest gained by these investors is exempt from
the federal income tax, and has been since the tax was instituted in 1913. Local governments
save an average of 25 to 30 percent on interest costs with tax-exempt municipal bonds.The
exemption is similar to the exemption for federal Treasury bonds – another stable investment
vehicle – from state and local taxes.
5. Support legislation to direct the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
to classify all investment grade municipal securities as High Quality Liquid Assets.
Previous bill: HR 2209 by Rep. L. Messer (R-IN), 114th Session
Background: A 2016 agreement by the Federal Reserve, the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency, and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation to new liquidity standards designed
to strengthen the banking system through clarifying credit and liquidity standards for banks'
capital requirements. However, in the agreement, they failed to include a very strong and
stable investment category with deep funding markets - municipal securities. NLC has long
argued that failure to classify municipal securities as High Quality Liquid Asset not only
overlooks an investment category that contributes to greater market stability, but that this
omission would have negative effects on the municipal securities market and communities
across the country by significantly reducing the appeal of municipal securities, resulting in
increased borrowing costs for state and local governments to finance desperately needed
infrastructure projects.
Transportation
6. Support funding to continue investment in the development of Interstate 69 (along US
Highway 59, US Highway 77, US Highway 281, US Highway 84, Interstate 2 and State
Highway 44) and Marine Highway 69 (the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway) as an international
freight corridor providing strategic intermodal connections from the Texas-Mexico border
and ultimately through eight states to the US-Canada border.
Previous Bill: HR 22 by Rep. R. Davis (R-IL) 114th Session
Background: A total of 205 miles have been added to the Interstate Highway System so far
including 117 miles in the Rio Grande Valley and 74 miles in the Houston area plus
segments at Texarkana and Corpus Christi. The I-69 system highways in Texas already serve
as major goods movement routes with a high ratio of trucks to passenger vehicles.
Page 5 of 7
A C T I V E L Y S U P P O R T
Military
Support passage of a National Defense Authorization Act which provides a predictable
budgetary structure and minimizes the uncertainty and indecision of sequestration.
Previous Bill: H.R.4512 by Rep. A. Smith (D-WA); S. 2303 by Sen. J. McCain (R-AZ), 114th
Session
Tax Code
Support the Marketplace Fairness Act, which allows states to tax sales from out-of-state
online vendors.
Previous bill: S 698 by Sen. M. Enzi (R-WY), 114th Session
Water
Support Water Quality Improvement Act advocated by the US Conference of Mayors’ Water
Council. Creates Integrated Planning Permit lasting a minimum of five years, but no more than
10 years. Clarifies definition of “attainable water quality” by mandating that it be both
“technically achievable” and “economically affordable”. Eases EPA enforcement penalties for
cities that do integrated planning.
Previous bill: HR 6182 by Rep. B. Gibbs (R-OH), 114th Session
Prohibit the Army Corps of Engineers and the Environmental Protection Agency from redefining
“waters of the United States”, which expands the definition of which surface waters and
wetlands are subject to the Clean Water Act’s regulatory requirements and protection.
Previous bill: SJR 22 by Sen. J. Ernst (R-IA), HJR 59 by Rep. A. Smith (R-NE), HR 594 by Rep.
P. Gosar (R-AZ), 114th Session
Transportation
Support funding to continue investment in the development of Interstate 14 (the Gulf Coast
Strategic Military Highway) to provide the energy production area of West Texas and the various
Texas military facilities improved access to Corpus Christi and the Gulf Coast.
Support amendment to add another segment from the Permian Basin to the Interstate 14
designation.
Previous Bill: Introduction anticipated by Rep. B. Babin (R-TX), 114th Session
Oppose increases in overweight trucks on federal highways above the current 80,000 pounds
limit.
Page 6 of 7
Aviation
Enact re-authorization of the Federal Aviation Administration to provide stability, predictability
and reliability to airports, pilots, airlines, and the aviation industry.
Cybersecurity
Support legislation to direct the National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center,
at the Department of Homeland Security, to coordinate with State and local governments on
securing their information systems. The Center will: assist in the identification of system
vulnerabilities and possible solutions for State and local information security systems, develop a
web portal to communicate available tools for State and locals, provide technical training for
State and local cybersecurity analysts, provide assistance in implementing cybersecurity tools
upon request, providing privacy and civil liberties training, and inform State and locals on the
current cybersecurity guidelines already developed at the federal level.
Previous bill: HR 3869 by Rep. W. Hurd (R-TX), 114th Session
Community Development Block Grants
Support continued funding and oppose further cuts of Community Development Block Grants
and HOME program through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Public Health
Support funding to prevent, prepare for, and respond to Zika virus, other vector-borne diseases,
and related health outcomes.
Previous Bill: HR5958 by Rep. C. Clawson (R-FL), 114th Session

Legislative Priorities
85th Regular Session 2017
Outlook on 2017
The political landscape in Washington, D.C., and Austin, TX, which result from elections and
the turnover in legislative branches and governmental agencies, shape the business environment
in which the Intergovernmental Relations (IGR) Department operates. It is constantly evolving
due to those elected and administrative leadership outcomes, changes in statutes and regulations,
changes in the economy, changes in community needs, and any number of other forces. The IGR
Department’s responsibility is to navigate the political environment to achieve the City’s
legislative, administrative and regulatory policy and funding needs.
In Texas, the 85th Regular Session of the Texas Legislature will convene on January 10, 2017,
with significantly less turnover than previous sessions. With only one statewide office (Railroad
Commissioner) up this election, very little change is expected in the operation and administration
of Texas government. There are only three new State Senators out of 31 (approximately 10
percent turnover) and 24 new State Representatives out of 150 (approximately 16 percent
turnover). Both chambers remain majority Republican members.
The governance structure of local, state, and federal governments with inter-mingled programs,
financing, and customers creates a demand for intergovernmental cooperation. To be successful,
this ever-evolving business environment requires close contact and constant communication with
legislative leadership, external legislative consultants, and municipal advocacy organizations at
the state and national level, statewide municipal partners, community leadership, and community
stakeholders. The IGR Department must monitor an array of issues impacting municipalities –
including structure and governance, finance, workforce, land use regulation, planning, zoning,
housing, construction, utilities, law enforcement, fire protection, tax policy, tourism,
transportation, economic development, environmental issues, and more. The IGR Department
must utilize information technology, enhance personal contacts, and engage additional resources
to ensure the City’s legislative, administrative and regulatory policy and funding needs are
communicated effectively. The City contracts with well-connected, experienced and highly
professional lobbyists (Snapper Carr and Brandon Aghamalian of Focused Advocacy) at the state
level to assist with its advocacy and communications efforts.
At the local level, the IGR Department must work with local and regional stakeholders, officials,
agencies and organizations to create partnerships to further community support. Relationship
building and the exchange of information and ideas is gained through participation and service
on committees, attendance at organization meetings, and sponsorship of community functions
which align with the City’s goals and mission.
Page 2 of 7
Texas state government includes more than 150 agencies and institutions of higher education.
Governor Greg Abbott, Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick and Speaker of the House Joe Straus
sent a letter to all state agencies in July 2016 directing them to reduce their budget requests by
four percent for the 2018-2019 biennial budget. The state leaders expect the price of oil to
remain depressed impacting state revenues. The legislature also faces significant cost increases
and service demands for the state’s foster care system, shoring up state retirement systems, social
service programs, and public and higher education. Speaker of the House Straus identified his
priorities for the 85th Session including reforming the broken state foster care system (which he
deemed “urgent” since a court ruled the system is unconstitutional), expanding student
opportunity grants, also known as “set asides,” (which is opposed by Lt. Governor Patrick) and
reforming a broken school finance system. The Speaker also indicated appropriations for the next
biennium will need to be strategic and prudent because tax collections were a billion dollars
lower than last year.
There is a faction of state legislators with an anti-local government bias and will support
legislation to place further burdens on or restrict authority of local governments. The Texas
Municipal League (TML) reported beginning with the 2015 legislative session the once
legislatively revered concept of local control became a bad word and is now to be avoided
because critics now believe it results in local regulatory differences (i.e. “patchwork quilt” of city
rules). Critics believe local control is inefficient for businesses to operate differently in every city
and consider differences, such as zoning, sign and building ordinances, land use restrictions,
plastic bag bans, regulations on transportation network companies, pay day and auto title lenders,
an assault on their “liberty”. These protectors of “liberty” support the centralization of decision-
making in Austin and tell those harmed by state-imposed rules (or the lack thereof) that it’s a
small price to pay for a level playing field across the state. Ironically, the “liberty” groups are
equally critical of federally-imposed regulatory uniformity on the states as an overreach.
The biggest threat to local government authority will come from the Lieutenant Governor and
Texas Senate, where property tax caps, appraisal caps, easing tax rollbacks, and other proposals
to erode local control, are likely to emanate. Several Texas Senate interim committees pursued
studies in 2016 with the intent of laying the groundwork for legislative proposals in 2017 to
restrict the abilities of local governments.
Besides tax issues, the Senate is exploring key municipal service issues like annexation, eminent
domain, debt issuance and finance, and economic development programs. Local governments,
including cities, counties, school districts, junior college districts, hospital and emergency
service districts, water and wastewater districts, municipal management districts, navigation
districts, drainage districts, and others will continue to spend the majority of their efforts in 2017
trying to prevent bills which weaken local control.
Page 3 of 7
P R I O R I T I E S
Municipal Governance
Support the continued ability of local officials to determine the amount of revenue necessary to
provide critical services for the protection, safety and welfare of its residents and oppose stricter
revenue caps, which would limit the City’s ability to meet the needs of its rapidly growing
population.
Support the continued ability of local elected officials to responsibly manage growth through
annexation and protect the rights of city taxpayers, who bear the costs of providing services to
the region’s growing population and oppose eroding its annexation authority without any
financial assistance from the state.
Support the continued ability of local elected officials to pass ordinances for the benefit and best
interests of their constituents.
Oppose changes to the eminent domain laws.
Oppose pre-emption of its existing ordinances, which protect the public, health, safety and
welfare of its residents.
Military Base Protection and Enhancement
Increase FY 2018-2019 biennial appropriation to $60 million for the Defense Economic
Adjustment Assistance Grant (DEAAG) Program to invest in preserving jobs and economic
sustainability of Texas military installations.
Prohibit construction of wind turbines within a reasonable distance of a military installation.
Prohibit school districts from granting Chapter 313, Tax Code, tax abatements for wind farms
within a reasonable distances of a military installation
Add a provision to the seller’s disclosure notice to make buyers of certain residential property
aware that the property could be located near a military installation and could be affected by high
noise or air installation compatible use zones or other operations.
Page 4 of 7
Higher Education
Encourage the Texas A&M University System, the Board of Regents, communities within
Nueces County and Kleberg County to discuss and review the potential merger of Texas A&M
University-Corpus Christi and Texas A&M University-Kingsville comprehensively and be
inclusive of all groups. Oppose any legislation or proposal that would adversely affect, be
harmful or detrimental to those affected communities.
Windstorm Insurance
Oppose revisions to the reforms achieved in SB 900 (84th Regular Session, 2015), including the
restructuring of the governing board to put policyholders on equal footing with insurance
industry members, establishing TWIA financial structure that provides a stable, sustainable and
affordable rate structure capable of covering a 1-in-100 year storm, requiring member insurance
companies to pay allowable assessments sooner, establishing a small statewide catastrophic
storm fund for excess losses, and structuring a more financially beneficial re-insurance program.
Street Funding
Support legislation that would allow local elected officials and/or voters to consider additional
funding options for cities to address streets, sidewalks and other transportation needs that are not
otherwise met by current funding sources.
Page 5 of 7
A C T I V E L Y S U P P O R T
Transportation
Support reliable, sustainable and predictable funding for the Texas Department of Transportation
(TxDOT) to build and maintain Texas’ highways, roads, bridges, and multi-modal transportation
infrastructure to protect the health, safety and welfare of the traveling public.
Support continued policy of non-diversion of revenue from the State Highway Fund.
Support funding for TxDOT to continue investment in the development of Interstate 69 (along
US Highway 59, US Highway 77, US Highway 281, US Highway 84, Interstate 2 and State
Highway 44) and Marine Highway 69 (the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway) as an international
freight corridor providing strategic intermodal connections from the Texas-Mexico border and
ultimately through eight states to the US-Canada border.
Support funding for TxDOT to continue investment in the development of Interstate 14 (the Gulf
Coast Strategic Military Highway) to provide the energy production area of West Texas and the
various Texas military facilities improved access to Corpus Christi and the Gulf Coast.
Support legislative efforts to fully implement Propositions 1 and 7 and ensure equitable
distribution of funding among the districts. Oppose any efforts to reduce anticipated funding
from these two revenue sources.
Ensure there is sufficient funding for engineering, right-of-way acquisition, and related project
development costs to ensure that high priority projects are made shovel-ready for these new
revenue sources.
Public Health
Support regulating the sale, storage, transportation, and disposal of scrap or used tires, including
an adequate fee structure to implement strategies to eliminate potential mosquito breeding sites
for the Zika, West Nile, and other viruses.
Cybersecurity
Amend Open Meetings Act (Chapter 551, Government Code), to clarify existing authorization
for closed sessions on cybersecurity threats.
Taxation
Amend the Texas Tax Code making the State’s sales tax on large marine vessels competitive
with other coastal states.
Page 6 of 7
Air Quality
Maximize funding at the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to assist near non-
attainment communities remain in compliance with newly revised U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency National Ambient Air Quality Standard for Ozone.
Tourism
Oppose changes to the school start date law (4th Monday in August), which allows Texans to
vacation through August, bringing millions of sales tax dollars to the Coastal Bend.
Wastewater
Oppose bills that negatively impacts the gains made by the SSO bill last session (SB 912, 84th
Regular Session 2015) or biosolids land application (HB 2248 and HB 2460, 84th Regular
Session 2015).

TEXAS MUNICIPAL LEAGUE
LEGISLATIVE POLICY COMMITTEE ON
ANNEXATION AND REGULATION OF DEVELOPMENT
Summary of Actions Taken
May 6, 2016
1. Annexation
The Committee voted to recommend that TML oppose legislation that would erode municipal
annexation authority.
2. Eminent Domain
The Committee voted to recommend that TML oppose legislation that would further erode a
city’s ability to condemn property for a public use.

A RESOLUTION TO SEEK INTRODUCTION AND PASSAGE OF LEGISLATION TO
AMEND TEXAS PENAL CODE, SECTIONS 30.06 AND 30.07, TO AUTHORIZE PRIVATE
LESSEES TO POST SIGNAGE PROHIBITING POSSESSION OF HANDGUNS ON
PROPERTY LEASED FROM A GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY.
WHEREAS, Subsections 30.06(e) and 30.07(e) of the Texas Penal Code present exception s to
the Trespass By License Holder provisions for concealed and open carry, respectively, whereby
notices prohibiting possession of handguns by licensed carriers may not be placed about
premises owned or leased by a governmental entity; and
WHEREAS, the Legislature’s stated focus in enacting Subsection 30.06(e) was on local
governmental entities that were prohibiting concealed handguns from public places, and the
same can be fairly implied in its adoption of Subsection 30.07(e); and
WHEREAS, as noted in Tex. Att’y Gen. Op. No. KP-0108 regarding Subsection 30.06(e),
“[n]othing in the text of the statute itself nor in the legislative history suggests that the
Legislature considered whether private entities that leased property from a governmental entity
were required to allow the carrying of handguns on the property that they lease,” and the same
may be said for Subsection 30.07(e); and
WHEREAS, these exceptions operate to unreasonably restrict rights of private lessees of
government-owned property, present significant implications for local governmental entities that
lease government-owned properties to private lessees, and unnecessarily undermine local
governmental entities’ ability to freely lease public property for private use; and
WHEREAS, these exceptions should be amended to authorize private lessees to post signage
prohibiting possession of handguns on property leased from a governmental entity; and
WHEREAS, this proposed amendment would preserve the Legislature’s stated intent of
preventing governmental entities from prohibiting concealed (and open) carry of handguns in
public places while authorizing private lessees of government-owned property to freely operate
the leased premises in their independent discretion, thus levelling the playing field for
governmental entity lessors; and
WHEREAS, the Texas Municipal League Board of Directors finds that amending Texas Penal
Code, Sections 30.06 and 30.07, to authorize private lessees to post signage prohibiting
possession of handguns on property leased from a governmental entity will benefit municipal
governmental bodies in general.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the delegates assembled at this 2016 Annual
Conference of the Texas Municipal League that the League seek introduction and passage of
legislation to amend Texas Penal Code, Sections 30.06 and 30.07, to authorize private lessees to
post signage prohibiting possession of handguns on property leased from a governmental entity.

A RESOLUTION TO SEEK INTRODUCTION AND PASSAGE OF LEGISLATION TO
AUTHORIZE A COMBINED BALLOT PROPOSITION FOR REALLOCATION OF
DEDICATED OR SPECIAL PURPOSE SALES TAX REVENUES TO THE GENERAL
REVENUE SALES AND USE TAX FUND AND A LOCAL ELECTION TO INCREASE OR
DECREASE THE TYPE B SALES AND USE TAX RATE WITHIN THE JURISDICTION.
WHEREAS, the 84th Legislature adopted H.B. 157 authoring municipalities to reallocate local
sales and use tax revenues so long as the combined rate does not exceed the prescribed 2%
maximum; and
WHEREAS, this legislation left unaddressed two (2) significant process impediments restraining
local implementation of this authority: (a) Tax Code, Section 321.409, allows a combined ballot
proposition for reallocation of dedicated or special purpose sales tax revenues to another
dedicated or special purpose sales tax revenue fund, but not to the general revenue sales and use
tax fund; and (b) there is no statutory authorization for a local election to increase or decrease the
Type B sales and use tax rate within the jurisdiction, such as authorized for the Type A sales and
use tax rate via Local Government Code, Section 504.258; and
WHEREAS, efficient local sales and use tax administration would be facilitated by authorizi ng a
combined ballot proposition for reallocation of dedicated or special purpose sales tax revenues to
the general revenue sales and use tax fund and a local election to increase or decrease the Type B
sales and use tax rate within the jurisdiction; and
WHEREAS, the Texas Municipal League Board of Directors finds that authorizing a combined
ballot proposition for reallocation of dedicated or special purpose sales tax revenues to the
general revenue sales and use tax fund and a local election to increase or decrease the Type B
sales and use tax rate within the jurisdiction will benefit municipal governmental bodies in
general.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the delegates assembled at this 2016 Annual
Conference of the Texas Municipal League that the League seek introduction and passage of
legislation to authorize a combined ballot proposition for reallocation of dedicated or special
purpose sales tax revenues to the general revenue sales and use tax fund and a local election to
increase or decrease the Type B sales and use tax rate within the jurisdiction.

A RESOLUTION RELATING TO THE TEXAS MUNICIPAL RETIREMENT SYSTEM;
SUPPORTING ADDITIONAL FLEXIBILITY OR ALTERNATIVES IN REGARD TO COST
OF LIVING ADJUSTMENTS FOR RETIREES
WHEREAS, local governments are subject to increasing economic stresses as they struggle to
provide important municipal services while balancing their budgets with increasingly less
money; and
WHEREAS, cities wish to support the dedicated public employees and retirees who have worked
many years to service the citizens of these cities; and
WHEREAS, most Texas cities are members of the Texas Municipal Retirement System
(TMRS); and
WHEREAS, current TMRS requirements provide that a City granting a cost of living adjustment
(COLA) on a repeating basis must provide for that adjustment regularly, and that a City that
opted out of such repeating COLAs is required to include all prior years in which the cost of
living adjustment was not made before they can start a repeating COLA again (the “catch up”
provision); and
WHEREAS, if a City was forced to cease the annual repeating COLA for economic reasons, the
“catch up” provision are very difficult, if not impossible, to meet; and
WHEREAS, the Texas Municipal Retirement System has been better managed and funded than
many other retirement systems and cities support the prudent fiscal management of the system ;
and
WHEREAS, cities also wish to maintain sound fiscal policies and the ability to provide an
increase for retirees must be managed within the framework of sound fiscal policies; and
WHEREAS, several cities which were forced to stop the repeating COLA in recent years,
including the City of Colleyville, desire to start the repeating COLA, but cannot do so under the
required “catch up” provisions; and
WHEREAS, many cities request that alternatives, which would benefit the cities, their
employees, and their retirees, to the current system be made through the passage of legislation
where needed, including alternatives such as forgiveness provision for cities who stopped the
regular repeating COLA payments prior to 2012, or the ability to make periodic percentage
increase to retiree pension payments without reference to a cost of living index.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the delegates assembled at this 2016 Annual
Conference of the Texas Municipal League that the League take no position on legislation that
amends the affected provisions of the Tex as Government Code to allow for greater flexibility in
24
retiree pension increases and provide for a forgiveness provision for cities who stopped the
regular repeating COLA payments without reference to a cost of living index.

A RESOLUTION RELATING TO THE APPROPRIATION OF $60 MILLION FOR THE
FISCAL YEARS 2018-2019 BIENNIUM FOR THE STATE OF TEXAS TO THE DEFENSE
ECONOMIC ADJUSTMENT ASSISTANCE GRANT (DEAAG) PROGRAM
WHEREAS, the 15 major Army, Navy, Air Force, and National Guard installations throughout
Texas are vital to national security and the State of Texas; and
WHEREAS, the Texas Comptroller’s recent study proved Texas 15 major military installations
generate $136.4 billion in economic activity and $81.3 billion in gross domestic product each
year, supporting more than 800,000 Texas jobs and $48 billion in personal income for our
citizens; and
WHEREAS, Texas has unencumbered airspace, ground maneuver space, and open water for
training of all branches of service with virtually every weapon system as well as some of the
most diverse topography for excellent training scenarios, the weather provides for the ability to
train year round and deployments from Texas installations are efficient due to airfields, road
systems, and rail transportation to ports in the state and, finally, the cost of living at Texas
installations are some of the lowest in the country; and
WHEREAS, these military installations are also part of the fabric of many communities and are a
source of great pride, provide skilled workforce, add to population growth, and have significant
economic impact; and
WHEREAS, the 84th Texas Legislature appropriated $30 million in Fiscal Years 2016-2017 to
the Texas Military Preparedness Commission Defense Economic Adjustment Assistance Grant
fund to assist defense communities that have been, or may potentially be, impacted by a past or
future Base Realignment and Closure (or BRAC) action, to obtain economic assistance to
mitigate or prevent or otherwise positively affect their local economy through funded projects;
and

A RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION THAT WOULD EXTEND
THE AUTHORIZED TERM FOR THE COLLECTION OF MUNICIPAL
SALES AND USE TAXES FOR STREET MAINTENANCE
WHEREAS, the City of West Orange, Texas is a small city within the State of Texas who has
adopted a Municipal Sales and Use Tax for street maintenance as authorized by Chapter 327 of
the Texas Tax Code; and
WHEREAS, continuation of such, municipal Sales and Use Tax requires an election every four
years; and
WHEREAS, it would be beneficial to all small cities who have adopted this tax for Chapter 327
to be amended to authorize an indefinite, or at least extended, term for the continuation of such
Municipal Sales and Use Tax for street maintenance;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the delegates assembled at this 2016 Annual
Conference of the Texas Municipal League that the League support legislation amending
Chapter 327 of the Texas Tax Code to authorize the collection of Municipal Sales and Use Taxes
for street maintenance for an indefinite, or at least extended, term instead of the four (4) years
provided by current law, since such Municipal Sales and Use Taxes for street maintenance
promote the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of all small communities and should not
require the expense and uncertainty of a new election every four (4) years to extend the term of
such beneficial source of revenue.

A RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION THAT WOULD WAIVE THE $30.00
ADMINISTRATIVE FEE FOR POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS THAT PARTICIPATE IN THE
FAILURE TO APPEAR PROGRAM IN CASES THAT ARE DISMISSED, A PERSON
PERFORMS COMMUNITY SERVICE, SERVES TIME IN JAIL IN LIEU OF PAYMENT OF
FINES OR FEES, OR ANY OTHER CASE WHEN NO COSTS OR FEES ARE COLLECTED
WHEREAS, during the 74th Legislative Session, S.B. 1504 was passed, authorizing the Texas
Department of Public Safety (DPS) to contract with political subdivisions to deny renewal of the
driver license for failure to appear on certain traffic violations (Failure to Appear Program)
(FTA); and
WHEREAS, the bill also authorized the DPS to contract with a private vendor (currently referred
to as "Omni Base") to implement the FTA Program; and
WHEREAS, any political subdivision participating in said program is required to pay an
administrative fee of $30.00 for each underlying traffic violation, of which $20.00 is to be
submitted to the state comptroller, $6.00 to Omni Base and $4.00 retained by the political
subdivision; and
WHEREAS, the bill originally waived the administrative fee to both the comptroller and Omni
Base in the event that court costs, fines and fees were not received by the local political
subdivision, such as in cases where the defendant was deemed indigent by the court, the case was
dismissed, the defendant died, or the defendant performed community service or served jail time
in lieu of payment of any fees or costs; and
WHEREAS, Omni Base and DPS are now attempting to collect the $30.00 administrative fee,
(pursuant to the Texas Administrative Code Title 37 Art. 1 Chap. 15 Subchapter G Rule Sec.
15.119) even if the case was dismissed or the defendant performed community service or served
jail time in lieu of payment of any fees or costs; and
WHEREAS, this places an undue hardship on a political subdivision to make payments to Omni
Base and the state comptroller in cases where they are not receiving the administrative fees from
the defendants; and
WHEREAS, many political subdivisions will be required to cease participating in the FTA
Program due to this undue burden unless there is legislation to support the waiver of the $30.00
administrative fee in the above cited examples as was originally intended.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the delegates assembled at this 2016 Annual
Conference of the Texas Municipal League that the League support legislation amending the
Texas Administrative Code Title 37 Art. 1 Chap. 15 Subchapter G Rule Sec. 15.119 (and any
other applicable legislation) to waive the $30.00 administrative fee in the event that court costs,
fines and fees are not received by the local political subdivisions (e.g. the case was dismissed,

the defendant performs community service or serves jail time in lieu of court costs, fines and
fees).

2016-2017
Legislative Platform
TEXAS COALITION FOR AFFORDABLE POWER
Legislative Agenda
Because high energy costs can impact municipal budgets and the ability to fund essential services,
TCAP, as part of its mission, actively promotes affordable energy policies, including at the Texas
Legislature. Affordable power in a fully competitive market also means economic development for our
communities and a better life for our citizens. TCAP members are committed to making electric
deregulation work.
Recommendations for a more competitive electric market:
Oppose One-Way Rate-making
Imagine if our taxes went up every time a single state agency increased expenditures. Texans wouldn't
stand for such a knee-jerk, unreasoned budgetary response. And yet it's just this sort of fiscally
irresponsible thinking that utility officials peddle as good policy when it comes to setting electric rates.
Known as “streamlined,” “alternative” or “one-way” rate-making, these utility proposals would lead to
near automatic rate increases and often without consideration of mitigating factors, such revenue
increases for the utility or offsetting savings. These proposals are known as one-way rate-making
because they work only in one way: against ratepayers. TCAP will oppose any legislation to extend such
unfair rate-making schemes in Texas, or that further undermine consumer protections in the rate-setting
process.
Keeping an even playing field for consumers
Texas law grants cities “original jurisdiction” over utility rates charged within city limits. This means
cities can fight against unfair rate hikes and can defend their citizens’ interests in rate cases at the Texas
Public Utility Commission and the Texas Railroad Commission. But some monopoly utilities —
businesses with no free-market competitors — have pressed to undermine city regulatory authority.
TCAP will oppose any such legislation.
Avoid Changes in the Market Structure that will Increase Wholesale Costs
TCAP opposes the creation of unnecessary subsidies for big power generators. By definition, such
subsidies violate the free-market principles upon which the Texas wholesale electricity market is based.
Policymakers should reject all proposals for “capacity markets” in which generators get paid even when
they do not operate.
Reduce Confusion in the Retail Electricity Market
Texas electricity consumers should have access to uniform, standard-offer products. These will help
reduce confusion in the retail electricity market and allow for apples-to-apples comparisons in pricing
deals.
4 Today’sCPA
CHAIRMAN’S AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE
TSCPA’s Agenda for the
2017 Legislative SessionWhile many CPAs are beginning to turn their
attention to the upcoming tax season and year-
end audits, some TSCPA members are also
looking ahead to the 85th session of the Texas Legislature that convenes
in January. The Texas Legislature only meets in odd-numbered years
from January to May and much can happen during that time.
By the time the session begins, TSCPA
will be ready with a legislative agenda. The
Legislative Advisory Committee (LAC),
with volunteers from all across the state,
considers the legislative landscape as it
impacts the accounting profession and
recommends a specific agenda for TSCPA
prior to each session. Once approved by
the Executive Board, all the volunteers
involved in the legislative process become
acquainted with the agenda.
At its October meeting, the LAC
recommended that the agenda items
include TSCPA seeking to repeal Gov.
Code Sec. 2266, Texas Exception to GASB
Statement 45 requiring reporting liabilities
for Other Post-Retirement Benefits (OPRB).
In 2009, the Legislature passed a bill that
excused state and local governments in
Texas from complying with Governmental Accounting Standards
Board (GASB) Statement 45, which requires reporting liabilities for
OPRBS. Although TSCPA opposed the bill, we were unable to keep it
from passing. However, we were successful in getting the bill amended
so that it was not mandatory and each local government could choose
whether or not to comply with the requirement.
The law established a new acceptable accounting standard for
something called “pay as you go” accounting, which simply meant
you didn’t have to recognize liabilities if you didn’t want to. As a
result, CPAs would not be able to give an entity using this exception
a clean opinion, because the entity would not be complying with
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
The first year the law was in effect, the state of Texas and Travis
County tried to use the exception. The state auditor refused to give the
state a clean opinion unless they revised the statements, which resulted
in the state issuing two sets of financial statements, one of which
complied with GAAP and got a good opinion from the state auditor;
the other was not reviewed by the state auditor. Travis County’s auditor
was unable to give a clean opinion on the county’s financials.
GASB would like the law to be repealed, but to do so will require a
repeal of Government Code Section 2266.
The other item the LAC proposed for TSCPA’s legislative agenda
is to oppose any efforts to levy a sales tax on professional services.
Opposition to sales taxes on professional services has been a long-
standing legislative position for TSCPA and we will be monitoring all
new tax bills in case it becomes an issue during the upcoming session.
The LAC also considered possible changes to the Texas Public
Accountancy Act (TPAA) as follows, but decided to defer those
changes until 2019 when the TPAA will undergo sunset review:
• firm mobility,
• unilateral international credential recognition,
• retired CPA status,
• transfer of CPA exam credits, and
• response to a North Carolina Dental Board case.
Please see the Capitol Interest article of this Today’s CPA magazine
for more details about the upcoming legislative session. While this is
the proposed agenda, no session passes without issues arising that were
not anticipated. TSCPA has a monitoring system in place to detect
bills of potential interest and a network of CPAs who volunteer as
key persons for individual legislators. These efforts enables us to take
action as needed if bills in any way impact CPAs and the accounting
profession. n

CIP Description:O.N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant Fluoride Feed System Improvements
The existing Fluoride feed system at O.N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant consists of three
outdoor doubled-walled polyethylene bulk storage tanks and two polyethylene day tanks and
pumps. The fluoride feed system has experienced failures of the various feed system
components. This project provides for replacement of existing equipment with two new bulk

storage tanks, a new exterior day tank and new peristaltic pumps mounted on skids and a new
steel pre-engineered building to house pump skids. Additional work will include rehabilitation of
injection points for Clearwell No. 1 and Clearwell No. 2 and modernization of the plant fluoride
injection control and monitoring system to improve the optimization and control of fluoride addition
with flow-paced control.
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
The O.N. Steven Water Treatment Plant (ONSWTP) feeds hydrofluosilicic acid (fluoride) into the
finished water upstream of the clearwells to help prevent tooth decay for the customers. The
existing fluoride system consists of three outdoor double-walled polyethylene bulk storage tanks,
and two polyethylene day tanks and pumps located in a fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) enclosure.
This system was recommended by the Texas Department of State Health Services. However,
the fluoride feed system is currently inoperable due to the failure of various feed system
components such as the metering pumps, day tank scales, and instrumentation, and a temporary
fluoride feed system has been installed to feed fluoride in water treatment.
This project is intended to replace the existing system with a new updated system to improve the
system reliability, operator safety and access for proper operation and maintenance. In order to
maximize the value of existing assets, the project involves re-using the existing concrete
containment area and replacing the aged mechanical components with new equipment.
The project was developed with a Base Bid and one (1) Additive Alternative as follows:
Base Bid: consists of improvements to fluoride treatment facilities including the containment and
storage structures, chemical feed and injection equipment, instrumentation and controls,
supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and the electrical service.
Additive Alternate: provides a new concrete injection vault for water treatment train 2. As a cost-
saving measure, the Contractor will first attempt to repair and re-use the existing injection point. If,
after excavation and inspection, it is concluded that the injection point cannot be re-used, a new
concrete injection vault will have to be constructed.
On November 9, 2016, the City received proposals from three (3) bidders and the respective bids
were as follows:
*Includes an allowance of $30,000 for all bidders for unanticipated utility repair/relocation

CAPTION:
Ordinance appropriating $368,000 of anticipated revenues from the Texas Department of
Transportation (TXDOT); authorizing the City Manager, or designee, to execute an Advance Funding
Agreement with TXDOT for the Strategic Integration (Travel Demand Model) Feasibility Study with a
payment of $18,400 due to TXDOT for reimbursement of direct state costs, and to execute an
Interlocal Agreement with the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) for their participation ($55,200)
in this project. (Bond 2014, Proposition 2)
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this item is to take the necessary administrative actions to fund the development of a
traffic demand model for the City. The model will be a tool for planning future roadway capacity and
other transportation needs. The majority (80%) of the funding for this effort originates with a grant
from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The grant funds are passed through TXDOT to the
City in a process moderated by the regional Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). TXDOT will
additionally seek reimbursement for their administrative costs ($18,400) from the City. The local
match (20%) for this grant is being shared equally between the City and the RTA.
This item will appropriate a receivable and execute an Advance Funding Agreement (AFA) with
TXDOT outlining project requirements and agreeing to reimburse TXDOT in the amount of $18,400
Advance Funding Agreement (TxDOT) and Interlocal Agreement (RTA)
Strategic Integration (Traffic Demand Model) Feasibility Study
Bond 2014, Proposition 2 – Future TXDOT Participation
for administrative costs. This item also authorizes the execution of an Interlocal Agreement with the
RTA that will appropriate the RTA’s 50% contribution towards the local match.
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
Federal planning regulations require Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) to coordinate with
their State to develop Metropolitan Transportation Plans (MTPs) which address future transportation
demands in their region. A computer model, known as a travel demand model (TDM), is the tool
States use to assist MPOs in forecasting future travel demands. TDMs analyze existing conditions
from a “base” year to predict future demands in a “forecast” year (up to 30 years in the future).
Streets, urban highways, socioeconomic data (population, employment, etc.), commercial vehicle
surveys and air quality surveys are typical data collected, analyzed, and incorporated into a TDM.
In Texas, TXDOT’s Transportation Planning and Programming (TPP) Division is responsible for
preparing TDMs for MPOs. TXDOT’s traffic demand computer model is referred to as the “Texas
Package”. TDMs are generally validated every 10 years. The last model update for the Corpus Christi
Metropolitan Planning Organization (CCMPO) region, which includes Corpus Christi and portions of
Nueces and San Patricio counties, occurred in 2006.
Some States develop TDMs following a four-step process that includes analysis of trip generation
(number of trips made), trip distribution (where the trips go), mode choice (how trips are distributed
amongst various modes of travel), and traffic assignment (which route trips take). The Texas
Package does not include mode choice which is why MPOs for the Houston-Galveston and Dallas-
Fort Worth region have taken responsibility of developing their own model. TXDOT provides the
“Texas Package” for the remaining 23 of the State’s 25 MPOs. MPOs for San Antonio and Austin,
which are considered benchmark cities, have utilized consulting contracts to include mode choice and
additional factors unique to their region to enhance the results of the “base” Texas Package which
may use general assumptions. Enhancing the “Texas Package” permits better forecasting since
consultants are able to input data unique to a specific City or region.
Federal grant funding through the CCMPO, with a local match, is available for the City of Corpus
Christi to utilize a qualified consulting firm to optimize the “Texas Package” through the Strategic
Integration (Travel Demand Model) Feasibility Study project. This affords the City an opportunity to
utilize the mode choice process and input other “localized” data into the “Texas Package” which will
result in a TDM that is specific and unique to the transportation needs of Corpus Christi and not the
entire CCMPO region.
Based on projections in population growth and development trends throughout the City, there is a
vested interest in ensuring existing arterials and collectors can accommodate future street capacity
needs. The City of Corpus Christi has always coordinated with state, county and local agencies to
develop long-term planning transportation infrastructure needs in relation to the City’s urban
development. Initial coordination led to the development of the Corpus Christi Transportation Plan
1963-1964 which is the foundation of the City’s network of streets and highways.
This project is a collaborative effort by the CCMPO, City of Corpus Christi, RTA and TXDOT. The
RTA is sharing costs since this funding opportunity is beneficial to improving their Long-Range
Operations Plan and updating their transit network master plan (Transit Plan 20/20). An AFA is
required between TXDOT & City/RTA with an 80/20 cost sharing split respectively since the project is
federally-funded. An Interlocal Agreement between the City and the RTA documents both entities as
joint partners sharing the 20% local match. It also states the City’s responsibility for contracting and
managing the project.
An enhanced TDM model, specific to Corpus Christi’s conditions, provides a better quality framework
for the decision making process for investment decisions on street (transportation) programming and
expenditures for various City departments including Engineering Services, Development Services,
and Street Operations. Enhanced traffic projections will assist in updating the City’s Urban
Transportation Plan by providing forecasted volumes for integral arterial and collector streets and
urban state highways. This more precise model will also assist in revamping existing Area
Development Plans to ensure street capacity is adequate for proposed land use, planning and
prioritization of street selection for the Street Preventative Maintenance Program and Capital Bond
Programming, and planning of master planned streets constructed by private developers.
The consulting firm tasked with this project will be required to review existing City, State and Local
transportation network plans, evaluate and validate base year assumptions from the most recent
Texas Package TDM, incorporate specified data, land use and mode choice (including a transit
component) into the TDM, and validate the TDM for the base year and forecast year. Deliverables
will focus on supplying methodology, assumptions and results (model, GIS files, etc.), indicating to the
CCMPO, City and RTA the traffic demand and projections for existing and planned streets in the City.
State guidelines require the results of the study be provided to the CCMPO, but the information will be
accessible to both the City and RTA.

for a
Strategic Integration (Travel Demand Model) Feasibility Study
"On system
THIS Local Project Advance Funding Agreement for Non-Construction (LPAFA) is made by
and between the State of Texas, acting by and through the Texas Department of Transportation
(State), and the City Of Corpus Christi (Local Government).
BACKGROUND
A Master Agreement between the Local Government and the State has been adopted and states
the general terms and conditions for transportation projects developed through this LPAFA.
Federal law establishes federally funded programs for transportation improvements to implement
its public purposes, including the Strategic Integration (Travel Demand Model) Feasibility Study
program. Federal and state laws require local governments to meet certain contract standards
relating to the management and administration of federal and state funds. The Texas
Transportation Commission passed Minute Order Number 114585, which provides for
development of and funding for the Project identified in this LPAFA. The Governing Body of the
Local Government has approved entering into this LPAFA by resolution or ordinance dated
___________, 20__, which is attached to and made part of this LPAFA as Attachment A.
NOW THEREFORE,the State and the Local Government agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Period of the Agreement
This agreement becomes effective when signed by the last party whose signing makes the
agreement fully executed. This agreement shall remain in effect until the close of ordinary
business on December 31, 2017.
2. Scope of Work
The scope of work is the Project as detailed in Attachment B, which is attached to and made
part of this LPAFA.
3. Local Project Sources and Uses of Funds
A.The total estimated cost of the Project is shown in Attachment C, which is attached and
made part of this LPAFA. The State will pay for only those Project costs that have been

approved by the Texas Transportation Commission. The State and the Federal
Government will not reimburse the Local Government for any work performed before the
federal spending authority is formally obligated by the Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA). After federal funds have been obligated, the State will send to the Local
Government a copy of the formal documentation showing the obligation of funds including
federal award information. The Local Government is responsible for one hundred percent
(100%) of the cost of any work performed under its direction or control before the Federal
spending authority is formally obligated.
B.If the Local Government will perform any work under this contract for which
reimbursement will be provided by or through the State, the Local Government must
complete training before federal spending authority is obligated. Training is complete
when at least one individual who is working actively and directly on the Project
successfully completes and receives a certificate for the course entitled Local Government
Project Procedures and Qualification for the Texas Department of Transportation. The
Local Government shall provide the certificate of qualification to the State. The individual
who receives the training certificate may be an employee of the Local Government or an
employee of a firm that has been contracted by the Local Government to perform
oversight of the Project. The State in its discretion may deny reimbursement if the Local
Government has not designated a qualified individual to oversee the Project.
C.The State will be responsible for securing the Federal and State share of the funding
required for the Project. If the Local Government is due funds for expenses incurred,
these funds will be reimbursed to the Local Government on a cost basis.
D.The Local Government will be responsible for all non-federal and non-state participation
costs associated with the Project.
E.The State will not pay interest on any funds provided by the Local Government.
F.The Local Government is authorized to submit requests for reimbursement by submitting
the original of an itemized invoice in a form and containing all items required by the State
no more frequently than monthly, and no later than ninety (90) days after costs are
incurred. If the Local Government submits invoices more than ninety (90) days after the
costs are incurred, and if federal funding is reduced as a result, the State shall have no
responsibility to reimburse the Local Government for those costs.
G.Whenever funds are paid by the Local Government to the State under this LPAFA, the
Local Government shall remit a check or warrant made payable to the "Texas Department
of Transportation." The check or warrant shall be deposited by the State and managed by
the State. These funds may only be applied to the Project. Upon completion of the
Project, the State will perform an audit of the Project costs. Any funds due by the Local
Government, the State, or the Federal government will be promptly paid by the owing
party. After final Project accounting if excess funds remain, those funds may be applied
by the State to the Local Government's contractual obligations to the State under another
advance funding agreement with approval by appropriate personnel of the Local
Government.
H.Attachment C will clearly state the approval funding structure under 43 TAC §15.52. If the
Local government is an Economically Disadvantaged County and if the State has

I.The state auditor may conduct an audit or investigation of any entity receiving funds from
the State directly under this contract or indirectly through a subcontract under this
contract. Acceptance of funds directly under this contract or indirectly through a

SCOPE OF WORK
Background:
The Corpus Christi Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) utilizes the TxDOT Travel Demand
Model (TDM) process for the development of traffic projections on a periodic basis.
The City of Corpus Christi and the Corpus Christi Regional Transportation Authority (CCRTA) would
benefit from those traffic projections if they could be integrated into their respective transportation
planning efforts. Specifically, the City Urban Transportation Plan under Mobility Corpus Christi, a
strategic framework for mobility. and Area Development Plans as well as the CCRTA’s Long-range
Operations Plan, Transit Plan 20/20, would be integrated into the MPO – TDM process.
Context
The Corpus Christi MPO currently has a 2006 base year travel demand model with a 2040 forecast.
This model is a valuable tool in developing the region’s long-range 2040 Metropolitan Transportation
Plan (MTP), and also provides Geographic Information System (GIS layers to visually display
demographic and network data.
The TDM is currently a standard tool with capabilities to project average annual daily traffic volumes
for future years with the current MTP projecting to 2040. That is, its traffic volume estimates for a
typical 24-hour period on a typical day. Enhancements of the TDM would enable a wider range of
analysis, including estimates of transit ridership and estimates of traffic based on alternative
demographic and network scenarios. It also will include land use patterns based on Plan Corpus
Christi – Corpus Christi Comprehensive Plan.
Further, the TDM may be considered as one element of a comprehensive forecasting system for a
range of capital infrastructure planning processes. Coordinating the long-range transportation
planning function with long-range planning for other infrastructure elements can contribute to
developing optimum choices for capital expenditures.
The next travel demand model for Corpus Christi will have a 2012 base year and a 2017 and 2045
forecast. TxDOT supports model enhancements and may use Corpus Christi as a pilot to implement
dynamic traffic assignment, time-of-day, intersection control, transit, and other advanced features in
its models.

Appropriate Forfeited Bid Bond
Collier Pool Renovations (Bond 2012) Rebid – Part B (Restroom and Office Building)
Bond 2012, Proposition 4
CAPTION:
Ordinance appropriating $29,943.70 from forfeited bid bond proceeds in the No. 3280 Park CIP
Fund for the Collier Pool Renovations Rebid Package B (Restroom and Office Building) Project
E14008; changing the FY 2017 Capital Improvement Budget adopted by Ordinance No. 030936;
increasing revenues and expenditures in the amount of $29,943.70. (Bond 2012, Proposition 4)
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this Agenda Item is to appropriate forfeited bid bond proceeds in the amount of
$29,943.70 in the Collier Pool Renovations Rebid Package B (Restroom and Office Building)
Project.
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
This project is part of Bond 2012 Proposition 4 – Aquatic Facilities for Repairs, Upgrades, and
Improvements.
On June 14, 2016, this project was originally awarded to the lowest responsible bidder, Cruz
Maintenance and Construction (“CMCI”), in the amount of $598,874. As per City requirements,
Contractors are required to submit Bid Bonds with their bids for projects over $50,000. As part of
CMCI’s bid, and in accordance with the bid specifications, CMCI submitted a Bid Bond dated April

Action Item for the City Council Meeting of January 17, 2017
6, 2016, for Collier Pool Renovations Rebid Package B (Restroom and Office Building) Project
E14008 that bound the Principal (CMCI) and Surety, (Suretec Insurance Company (“Suretec”)), to
the Obligee (City) in the sum of 5% of the amount bid by CMCI. Amount of bid bond: $598,874 x
5% = $29,943.70
After award, the contractor must then secure Performance and Payment Bonds before a Notice to
Proceed is issued. CMCI did not provide the City with the required Bonds and Insurance certificates
and endorsements so that a contract between them and the City could be executed. In such cases,
the bid bond of the lowest bidder is forfeited to the City of Corpus Christi.
On August 23, 2016, the City Council rescinded the award to CMCI in the amount of $598,874 and
authorized the City Manager to execute a construction contract with the second lowest responsible
bidder, Barcom Construction, Inc. of Corpus Christi, Texas, in the amount of $632,673.
Furthermore, staff was directed to execute a claim against CMCI’s bid bond for the Collier Pool
Renovations Rebid – Part B (Restroom and Office Building) project due to failure of CMCI to comply
with the terms and conditions of the Bid. The Surety has issued a check to the City and this item
appropriates the proceeds into the project.

1. Appropriate the forfeited bid bond proceeds into the project. (Recommended).
2. Do not appropriate the forfeited bid bond proceeds into the project. (Not Recommended).

swim participants and neighborhood groups patronize the pool on a regular basis,
maximizing the pool’s capacity as well as the city resources used to keep it operational
on a year-round basis. West Guth is the second most popular park in Corpus Christi.
That pool is one of the most popular places for residents in the Northwest to congregate
on a hot summer day. Updates to these facilities, and other neighborhood pools, may
include construction of splash pads, wading and zero depth entry pools, extension of lap
lanes and swimmer amenities.”

CAPTION:
Ordinance authorizing the appropriation and transfer of approximately $2,781,207.34 of
bond proceeds from various City Utility System CIP funds to Fund 3543 Streets TMPC
CO CIP Fund; and the appropriation and transfer of approximately $2,781,207.34 of
related debt liability from various City Utility System operating funds to Fund 2010
General Obligation Debt Service Fund; amending the Fiscal Year 2017 operating
budget adopted by Ordinance No. 030965 to increase revenues and expenditures by
approximately $2,781,207.34 each; and providing an effective date.
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this action is for accounting purposes to align funds resulting from a
recent general improvement bond refunding. This ordinance will transfer and properly
align Texas Military Preparedness Commission (TMPC) bond proceeds and related
debt currently allocated in the City’s Utility System funds to the General Obligation Debt
Service Fund and to the Streets Capital Improvement Program (CIP) funds.
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
Following the 2005 round of Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC), the City of Corpus
Christi (City) received a $10,507,390 loan from Texas Military Value Revolving Loan
Fund through the TMPC for two projects: (1) the expansion and reconstruction of Port
Avenue from I-37 to US 181 and (2) the realignment of Flour Bluff Drive and extension
of the Waldron Field runway. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT),
Ordinance Aligning Funds after Debt Refunding
through the Corpus Christi Metropolitan Planning Organization (CCMPO), provided a
$10,878,300 match for the Port Avenue project making the total for both projects
$21,385,690.
The City issued two series of debt in 2007: (1) a series of 2004 voter-approved general
obligation bonds and (2) a series of non-voted certificates of obligation (COs) to repay
the TMPC loan. Together the two bond debts are referred to as the 2007 Obligations.
The proceeds of the 2007 Obligations were split between Utility and Street CIP funds in
accordance with the estimated budgets for the proposed projects. The unspent
proceeds portion of the 2007 Obligations were refunded on March 31, 2015, by the
2015 Tax Notes. The outstanding balance of the 2007 Obligations and the 2015 Tax
Notes were fully refunded on December 16, 2016, by the 2016A General Improvement
Refunding Bonds.
The reason for the refundings was that the Port Avenue project was completed, but
there was approximately $2.4 million in unspent funds remaining from that project. The
Waldron Field/Flour Bluff Drive project was never started due to opposition to the
project, so approximately $2.4 million remained in unspent funds from that project. The
original debt instruments, ordinances and loan contract prevented the remaining loan
balance from being used for purposes other than the original projects. In order to
repurpose the remaining proceeds, the City needed the consent of the TMPC (as the
sole holder of 2007 COs) to amend the ordinance authorizing the issuance of the 2007
COs to allow for another purpose and needed permission from the TMPC to use the
remaining proceeds for additional military value projects. In 2015 the TMPC agreed and
the Texas Public Financing Authority (TPFA) consented to the City’s request.
The identified potential military value projects as presented to Council on February 24,
2015, included Sam Rankin Road improvements, land acquisitions of “Clear Zones”,
Accident Prevention Zones and Encroachments, Naval Air Station Corpus Christi
(NASCC) South Gate Truck Lane, NASCC fence line replacement, and Corpus Christi
International Airport taxiway expansion and safety enhancements. These projects do
not require utility work, and so the unspent bond proceeds in the Utility CIP funds and
the debt related thereto need to be transferred to a Street CIP fund and the General
Obligation Debt Service fund for accounting purposes to properly account for the bond
proceeds and to pay the debt out of the correct fund.
ALTERNATIVES:
An alternative would be to take no action and leave the bond proceeds and related debt
in the Utility System funds. The City would then need to find qualifying utility projects,
and as a result, the projects previously approved by City Council in 2015 (when
approving issuance of the 2015 Tax Notes) would not be funded.

CAPTION:
Resolution relating to establishing the City’s intention to reimburse itself for the prior
lawful expenditure of funds from the proceeds one or more series of tax-exempt or
taxable obligations to be issued by the City in an aggregate amount not to exceed
$2,500,000 for authorized purposes relating to constructing various City improvements;
authorizing matters incident and related thereto; and providing an effective date.
PURPOSE:
The City plans on issuing up to $2,500,000 of certificates of obligation to fund regulatory
capital projects for Solid Waste. In the event that expenses are incurred prior to the
receipt of the proceeds from the certificates of obligation, this resolution gives the City
the authority to reimburse itself from the proceeds for qualifying expenditures.
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
At the August 9, 2016, City Council meeting, the City Council discussed upcoming bond
projects for the following fiscal year. A subsequent memo was sent to the City Council
outlining the City’s pending bond projects for Fiscal Year 2017. One pending issuance
included in the memo was the funding of Solid Waste’s Fiscal Year 2017 capital needs
totaling $18,000,000. Since that time, City staff has been able to narrow down the size
of the projects in addition to utilizing existing funds available for Solid Waste to fund
those projects so that only $2,500,000 of certificates of obligation will be needed in
Fiscal Year 2017 rather than $18,000,000. The certificates of obligation will be needed
to fund some key capital projects for Solid Waste that are associated with a compliance
deadline, including a Gas Collection and Control System (GCCS) that must be
operational by November 11, 2017 and the procurement of a flare.
Reimbursement Resolution for Certificates of Obligation
For the City to be eligible for reimbursement of any expenditures incurred prior to the
issuance of the certificates of obligation, the City must declare its intent to reimburse
itself for payments made prior to the bonds being sold. This action must meet specific
U. S. Treasury Regulations and requires approval by the City Council.

CAPTION:
Resolution of the City Council of the City of Corpus Christi, Texas, waiving the City’s
Qualified Energy Conservation Bond allocation and releasing the City’s allocation to the
State of Texas for reallocation; authorizing matters incident and related thereto; and
providing an effective date.
PURPOSE:
The City of Corpus Christi has been allocated $3,022,035 by the State of Texas for
Qualified Energy Conservation Bonds. A Qualified Energy Conservation Bond (QECB)
is a bond that enables qualified state, tribal, and local government issuers to borrow
money at attractive rates to fund energy conservation projects. It is important to note
that QECBs are not grants. The City of Corpus Christi currently does not have any
projects identified to qualify for this type of bond, and as a result, the City would like to
release its allocation back to the State of Texas.
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
The State of Texas, under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009,
received a Qualified Energy Conservation Bond (QECB) volume cap allocation of
$252,378,000, of which $205,881,199 was awarded to local “large” governments in
Texas with a population of 100,000 or more. These governments have the option to
waive and release to the State their allocation to the Texas Bond Review Board (TBRB)
that been designated as the State’s QECB volume cap administrator. A QECB waiver
is required along with a resolution of the local government’s governing body waiving the
allocation and releasing the allocation to the State.
Waiving of Qualified Energy Conservation Bond Allocation
The City of Corpus Christi received a “large local government” QECB volume cap
allocation of $3,022,035 to be used by the City only for specific purposes as defined by
the QECB program. The City does not have any projects identified for which QECB’s
can be issued, and so is recommending that the City’s allocation be released for
reallocation by the TBRB.
ALTERNATIVES: The City could decide not to release its funds for reallocation, at
which time the funds would remain unspent, and no municipality would benefit.

CAPTION:
Motion authorizing the City Manager or designee to amend a service agreement with
Foster & Foster Actuaries and Consultants of Ft. Meyers, Florida to provide professional
actuarial services for the Human Resources Department for a total amount not to exceed
$34,500.00 of which $7,666.67 is required in FY 2016-2017. The agreement is
established for a three year period and includes an option to extend for one additional two
year period, subject to the approval of the City Manager or designee.
PURPOSE:
Approval to amend the current service agreement with Foster & Foster for Actuarial
Services for Financial Services to include Actuarial Services for the Human Resources
Department.
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
In June 2016, the City’s Finance Department began the process of creating a Request
for Proposal (RFP) for Actuarial Services for Financial Services Event No. 136. With the
assistance of the City’s Chief Accountant for Financial Services and the Buyer of the
City’s Purchasing Division, the RFP was advertised and issued on July 8, 2016. The RFP
was advertised, issued and posted on the City’s Supplier Portal.
An evaluation team comprised of Financial Services and Human Resources staff
members reviewed the proposals and scored each according to the criteria below.
Actuarial Services Service Agreement Amendment
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
Future Item for the City Council Meeting of January 10, 2017
Action Item for the City Council Meeting of January 17, 2017
Proposals were evaluated across two major criteria: technical proposal and price. The
team evaluated four proposals based on the following criteria and weighting scale:
Technical Proposal – 90%
Price – 10%
The team held an evaluation meeting on July 29, 2016. Through the evaluation process
a determination was made that Foster & Foster Actuaries and Consultants would provide
the best value to the City based on their technical proposal and pricing.
Foster & Foster’s Actuaries and Consultants fees were lower than the threshold
requirement of Council approval at that time and a recommendation was made to award
the service agreement commencing on September 1, 2016 under Service Agreement
824. The term of the service agreement is for 36 months with an option to extend for an
additional 24 month period.
The total estimated cost for the actuarial services for Financial Services for the initial term
of the contract is $25,300.00.
This service will be used by Financial Services for actuarial services related to
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement Nos. 45 and 75
Accounting and financial reporting by employees for post-employment benefits other than
pensions.
In October 2016, the Human Resources Department identified a need of Actuarial
Services. After weighing the options for procuring new services or amending the current
contract with Foster & Foster’s Actuaries and Consultants to include actuarial services for
the Human Resources Department, a decision was made to amend the newly awarded
contract to include the Human Resources piece. Foster & Foster Actuaries and
Consultants provided a quote for services of $11,500.00 per year which was less
expensive than what the Human Resources Department had been paying for these
services under their expiring contract. Services will be effective upon City Council
approval and an issuance of a notice to proceed and through the end date of the original
service agreement.
This service will be used by the Human Resources Department for actuarial services
related to general consultation services for all insurance plans administered by the City.
Foster & Foster Actuaries and Consultants will provide actuarial consultation and advisory
services on any technical, policy or administrative issues and will provide an annual
review of self-insured health and pharmacy benefit plans.

PURPOSE:
These service agreements will provide towing services of City vehicles and equipment to the City
Garage or to other facilities as directed by authorized City personnel.
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
The City of Corpus Christi currently has a fleet of 1,780 vehicles and equipment, which consist of
such vehicles as sedans, light trucks, refuse trucks, dump trucks, ambulances, fire engines, and
self-propelled construction equipment. Occasionally, vehicles will break down on the road
requiring wrecker and towing services both inside and outside the Corpus Christi City limits.
Wrecker Services for City Owned Vehicles and Equipment
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
Future Item for the City Council Meeting of January 10, 2017
Action Item for the City Council Meeting of January 17, 2017
Expertise and specialized equipment is required for the towing of City owned heavy equipment
such as dump trucks, garage trucks and vacuum trucks. The towing companies will be towing
City vehicles and equipment to and from the City Garage or to the facilities or locations as directed
by authorized City maintenance personnel.
Group one for light trucks and sedans is recommended to be awarded to Momento Towing, LLC
of Corpus Christi, Texas and group two for heavy trucks and equipment is recommended to be
awarded to DRR & RS, Inc. dba Apollo Towing Service of Corpus Christi, Texas.
ALTERNATIVES:
If not approved the towing requirement for both light and heavy equipment would be awarded to
individual vendors on a piecemeal basis whereas a vendor would be selected to accomplish
towing one piece of equipment at a time. We anticipate this procedure would be considerably
more expensive to the City in that advantages and price savings associated with competitive
bidding would not apply.

Presentation on Proposed Backflow Prevention
STAFF PRESENTER(S):
Name
1. Gene Delauro
Title/Position Department
Building Official Development Services
OUTSIDE PRESENTER(S):
None
BACKGROUND:
Several years back, the backflow testing and certification was required on a yearly basis.
However, the previous ordinance was changed by Council where residential devices were
only required to be tested every three years, while commercial devices remained at a
yearly frequency. The previous ordinance also did not provide a way to enforce the
requirement other than utilities being shut off to the property. This sometimes is not
reasonable in certain situations such as the property being leased/rented from an Owner
who is not responsive to the multiple City notifications.
The proposed ordinance will change the testing requirement to an annual basis for both
residential and commercial devices. The ordinance will also allow the City to place any
expenses incurred by the City on the water customer's utility bill for payment.
This will provide more protection to the water supply by testing devices every year and
will allow the City to step in and take care of the testing while allowing the City to place
the associated costs on the water customer's utility bill.
