Relative to questions raised by Council Member Slavik on Item 8, approving the purchase of a computer system for the Health Department, City Manager Garza justified the expense for the computer, stating that the old computer system is no longer functional. Council Member Moss inquired about the cost for implementation, and City Manager Garza stated that the cost to implement the system would be borne by the City. He noted that the system will be funded 100 percent with State funds. Mr. Moss suggested that the City should attempt to make its systems compatible so that eventually there will be a family of work stations which have cross reference to each other. Council Member McComb inquired if this item is in lieu of the $30,000 computer in next year's budget for the Health Department, and City Manager Garza responded that it is not, but would be further automation of the Health Department offices. Council Member Galindo expressed concern that every time the City goes out for bids, they purchase a VGA monitor which is the top of the line. He suggested buying a base unit that will allow for expansion in the future to a VGA system which will help other departments get computers quicker. John Bacon, Municipal Information Systems Director, elaborated on the reasons for purchasing the VGA color monitor versus the monochrome. He stated that their goal is towards compatibility and networking and the City will eventually develop an overall architecture that will help to communicate with the different computers. He stated that presently there is a reasonable amount of interconnectivity between the personal computers. Relative to Item 9, an amendment to the agreement with the Heart of Corpus Christi to expand the eligible area of the CDBG Matching Grant Rehabilitation Program, Mayor Rhodes stated that she does not have a problem with the expansion but expressed concern that this amount of money from CDBG matching grants should not have been used for this purpose in the first place. Council Member Moss pointed out that this would not be obligating any City funds, and Mrs. Rhodes stated that it is money that could go to very worthwhile projects that are needed for community block grants. Council Member McComb stated that it is a CDBG qualified area; it would be a legal and proper use of the funds; and it is eligible under the guidelines. Minutes Regular Council Meeting July 23, 1991 Page 6 Kelly Elizondo, Housing and Community Development Director, responded to specific questions raised by the Council and described the area in question. He stated that it does qualify for the CDBG funds. Discussion followed and Council Member Guerrero explained the intent of the CDBG Program in Corpus Christi and expressed the opinion that CDBG funds should not be used for economic development. Council Member McComb stated that this would improve the local tax base and provide an opportunity for jobs in the downtown area. Mr. J. E. O'Brien, 4130 Pompano, concurred with Mayor Rhodes and questioned the validity of signing an additional agreement with an organization who did not live up to their original agreement with the City pertaining to matching funds. Responding to questions from Council Member Galindo on Item 12, easement closure request, City Manager Garza explained the purpose for the easement closure request. Council Member Moss inquired if a citizen should pay for this privilege, and Mr. Garza stated that he did not believe so. He stated that this is an easement and not a right- of-way.
