sectors. She elaborated on the library services including the literacy program,
career centers, the Junior League computer project and library automation.
Ms. Didear discussed the planning process and long range development
program for the library. She pointed out that Corpus Christi's library ranks 57
out of 63 in terms of the number of library books in comparison to cities of the
same population. Ms. Didear indicated that just to provide basic services, the
funding for the library would have to be increased by $3 million.
Mayor Turner asked Council Member David Berlanga to introduce the next
presentation. Mr. Berlanga recognized Mr. Nick Reyna, Chairman of the Board of
the Heart of Corpus Christi, Inc., who introduced Board and Committee members of

waterfront business district. Mr. Reyna then introduced Mr. Doyle G. Hyett of
Hyett, Palma, Inc. who presented an economic analysis of the Corpus Christi
waterfront business district.
Mr. Hyett commented on what Corpus Christi is today, what it can be in the
future and the steps that need to be taken. He elaborated on Part I of the
analysis on the Retail Market Profile and Part II on the Economic Enhancement
Strategies. Mr. Hyett stated that Corpus Christi's waterfront business district
has tremendous potential for a renewed market orientation, one which is designed
to serve the specialty product needs of many area residents and visitors and to
serve the personal and convenience needs of customers who shop and work within
and near the waterfront business district.
Mr. Hyett continued by stating that the City's current efforts to enhance
the area, including aesthetic upgrading and the recruitment of additional
businesses for the commercial district, meets the needs of the residents,
customers and visitors, as was expressed by the employee, pedestrian, resident,
business and visitor surveys completed in conjunction with the market profile.

Mr. Hyett expressed the opinion that Corpus Christi is a first-class City and a
town to be extremely proud of.
Council Member Martin stated that the Council should ask Council Member
Berlanga, along with the staff and representatives of the Heart organization, to
provide a recommendation of what is planned for the future relative to the
downtown and the Heart of Corpus Christi. He noted that the funding for the
Heart of Corpus Chricti will expire a year from July and the Council should
discuss the permanehcy of the organization. Mr. Martin also stated that he
would like to see a more formalized effort wherein the Heart of Corpus Christi
becomes the Council's representative in advising downtown developmont-type
activities.

it will promote the revitalization of downtown.

Mayor Turner announced the presentation on the Building Permits.
Assistant City Manager Elizondo and Building Official, Lorenzo Gonzales,
presented a brief overview on the issue of the permit fees and licensing
requirements. Mr. Elizondo explained how the issue began when it was proposed
to make some changes in the permit fee structure. He stated that staff did not
recommend that any construction standards be changed nor were new standards put
in place. Mr. Elizondo stated that the fee increase which was recommended was a
result of the City identifying what it was costing them to do business.
Mr. Elizondo continued by stating that the action taken by City Council
increased existing fees, adopted a standardized valuation table for commercial
projects and instituted a $200 administrative fee. He noted that a great deal
of concern was expressed by the community. He stated that as a result of those
concerns, Lorenzo Gonzales was asked to formalize a list of what he thought
would be minor repairs. Mr. Elizondo noted that because of the misunderstanding
in the community, the City Council suspended the $200 administrative fee and
directed the various Boards and Commissions and staff to review the issue. Mr.
Elizondo noted that several meetings were held by various Boards and Committees
and the discussions centered around licensing criteria, permitting requirements,
inspections required and fees.

Building Official Gonzales commented on the various meetings held by the
Boards and Committees which resulted in fourteen different actions. He then
elaborated on the recommendations of the Building Code Board of Appeals; the
Electrical Advisory Board; the Mechanical Advisory Committee and the Senior
Community Advisory Committee.
Council Member Rhodes expressed the opinion that the presentation is
difficult to follow, suggesting that the Council be provided the recommendations
of the staff and the Boards and Committees so that the Council can review what
Is being presented.
Mayor Turner noted that a real concern is that the City's local ordinance
not be more restrictive than the state requirements, and Mr. Gonzales indicated
that everything that has been worked out and discussed at the Board and
Committee meetings has been using the guidance contained in the state laws.
Mr. Gonzales indicated that the list of items which do not require a permit
has been revised and amended, stating that each Board and Committee deleted and
added items.
Council Member Martin expressed the opinion that those Boards and
Committees agree on some of the items. He requested that a list be provided the
Council of those things that are being changed; find out the Boards' and
Committees' positions; determine what the issues are; and allow the Council to
act as the arbitrator on the issues.
Council Member McComb stated that he felt one issue that had presented a
problem was the requirement for citizens to obtain a permit for minor repairs at
their residences. He stated that he had also received complaints from full-time
maintenance employees of apartment and office buildings, and he felt that issue
should be resolved.
Mayor Turner agreed that some relief should be provided for apartment and
building maintenance employees. Mayor Turner also requested that the staff
provide the Council with a comparison of the City code to that of the state to
be sure that the City's is not more restrictive.
Council Member Martin disagreed, stating that there is no need to compare
this City's codes to those of the state because this is a local issue. Mayor
Turner reiterated that she would like to have the comparison.
Council Member McComb reminded the Council that discussion had occurred at
the retreat when one Council Member requests a report, a majority of the Council
should concur before it is provided.
Mayor Turner stated again that she would like to have that report on the
differences between this City's code and the state's code.

Council Member McComb suggested that if the public were allowed to speak,
the Council would be aware of their concerns and the staff could work from that
point.
Assistant City Manager Elizondo explained that the report that has been
presented today are the opinions of the Boards and Commissions.
It was the consensus of the Council that written information relative to
the staff's recommendation be provided the Council before the next discussion of
this issue.

Mayor Turner announced the presentation on the Kennedy Causeway Advisory
Committee.
Mr. Charles Rawalt, a representative on the Kennedy Causeway Advisory
Committee, read the following statement to the Council. "The Kennedy Causeway
Advisory Committee, in its meeting of April 24, 1989, voted 7 to 1 in favor of
presenting the following recommendation to the Corpus Christi City Council: The
Kennedy Causeway Advisory Committee strongly recommends that the City Council
take action to strike from the Mustang/Padre Island Development Plan the mention
of a specific location for a boat pass through the islands to the Gulf of Mexico
until the completion of the hydraulic study of the area waters now being
conducted under the direction of Dr. James H. Duke. The City Council created
the Kennedy Causeway Committee, endorsed the hydraulic study and contributed to
the cost of that study. Certainly, the City Council should want to consider the
results of this study before making any premature statements which might later
prove to be detrimental to the environment."
Ms. Pat Suter, Vice Chairman of the Kennedy Causeway Advisory Committee,
stated that the General Land Office is in the process of conducting a study;
they will have a meeting tomorrow morning at CCSU; and they are getting together
the various groups in the area who are interested in the quality of the Laguna
Madre. She stated that there are other passes under consideration and a number
of entities are concerned with funding state and federal monies going into the
study of Laguna Madre.
Ms. Suter continued by stating that the General Land Office has primary
jurisdiction over Packery Channel and will not allow the dredging of Packery
Channel pending the study.
Relative to a question from Council Member Rhodes regarding the pending
election, City Secretary Chapa informed the Council that the petition has not
yet been certified; and once it is certified, the Council does have the option
to repeal the ordinance. He stated that if the Council does not repeal the
ordinance, they are bound to have an election on the next available uniform
election date.

City Manager Garza noted that if the Council repeals the ordinance and at a
later date after the study is completed, adopts an ordinance without Packery
Channel, it could be argued that the plans are substantially alike. He stated
that the Council should be careful that it is not a contrivance to circumvent
the petition. Mr. Garza stated that the Council does have some options; they
are limited; and he would have to have time to consider them.
In answer to a question from Council Member Schwing relative to the time
frame for completion of the entire study, Ms. Suter responded by stating that
Dr. Duke has currently been commissioned by the General Land Office for a
$60,000 study to which the City contributed $20,000. She stated that this study
is expected to have substantial results within ninety days. She stated that she
does not know the finalized date for the entire study. Ms. Suter indicated that
there is no one more anxious to develop the Kennedy Causeway than the General
Land Office.
Discussion followed and Council Member Martin expressed the opinion that
the Council should be made aware of what the City's options are and should be
guaranteed it is a certified petition. Mr. Martin stated that this subject
should be made an agenda item for Council discussion. It was the consensus of
the Council that this item be scheduled on the agenda no later than June 6th.
In answer to a question from Council Member McComb relative to the study,
City Manager Garza explained that the study was commissioned to determine what
the effect would be on the salinity levels of the Laguna Madre by opening up a
path on the Kennedy Causeway.
