Harry Williams Mayor Rhodes called for the report on the radio system contract. City Manager Juan Garza explained to the Council that the City purchased a turnkey radio system. The purchase was the most reliable and cheapest to be used with the existing microwave system. At the time the purchase was made, the City was aware of the risks to be taken in using the existing microwave system. Deputy City Manager Jesus Garza presented an overview on the purchase of, and subsequent problems with, the 800 MHz microwave system. He stated that the microwave system which the City has is not working with the City's existing radio system. The additional monies are to be used for the separation of the 800 MHz system from the City's system to determine if the City's system or the 800 MHz is faulty. Council Member Galindo asked what type of problems were being encountered with the radio system. Deputy City Manager Garza replied that the City's microwave system was faulty due to age of the system and the intermittent voice pass-thru problems. After further discussion, Council Member Moss inquired if a new microwave system was included in the contract. Deputy City Manager Garza stated that the City opted to use the existing system as much as possible. Mr. Moss asked if the City would benefit by staying with the microwave system or changing to phone lines, in response to which Deputy City Manager Garza informed the Council that phone lines were not very reliable. Further discussion ensued at which time Council Member McNichols commented that the public radio system should be reliable. He posed a series of questions from the contract regarding the responsibility of the contractor, and Deputy City Manager Garza stated that the contractor could not be held responsible for the City's faulty system. Minutes Regular Council Meeting February 25, 1992 Page 3 Dr. McNichols questioned if the City, in fact, had a faulty system. Deputy City Manager Garza stated that there was a 95% certainty that the City's system was at fault. Dr. McNichols expressed concerns with the implementation of Phases 1 and 2 and not implementing Phases 3 and 4 (redundancy). He asked if the phone lines could be used for redundancy until further determination has been made as to which redundancy will be used. City Manager Garza stated that this was a technical question and felt that it could be done and an engineer be consulted. He suggested that the redundancy phase will be brought to Council at the next budgetary cycle. Dr. McNichols asked if the existing redundancy can be used in the event of inclement weather. City Manager Garza introduced Mr. George Weimer, representative from R.C. Trott and Associates, to elaborate on the question posed by Dr. McNichols. Mr. Weimer explained that the proposed implementation of Phase 1 has redundancy capabilities. He further commented on Phases 3 and 4, redundancy portion of the system. He stated that the existing redundancy can be used in inclement weather. Dr. McNichols asked if R.C. Trott feels that the City's microwave system is faulty. Mr. Weimer replied that the symptoms relayed to him are those of a faulty microwave system. He stated that he was fairly certain that the problems were associated with the City's old microwave system. A brief question and answer period followed. Council Member Slavik expressed concerns about the liability of the contractor for the change order. Deputy City Manager Garza stated that the City was aware of the risks involved when the purchase was made. Mrs. Slavik asked if RTA had been contacted for additional funding. Deputy City Manager Garza replied that RTA had been contacted but no action has been taken to date. Council Member Guerrero commented on the need to move ahead with the change order and use whatever monies would be necessary to get the system in proper working condition. Deputy City Manager Garza replied that the City's existing system is still being used by other departments. Minutes Regular Council Meeting February 25, 1992 Page 4 Mr. Guerrero asked if the monies to be spent will make the system work properly. City Manager Garza stated that there was not a 100% guarantee that the system will function properly. Council Member McComb voiced concern about decisions which were not relayed to the Council. He also stated that the City should not be held liable for the full amount of the change order. Mr. McComb relayed to the Council that he understood that the current hand-held models will be discontinued. Deputy City Manager stated that the existing models will be discontinued but the contractor will continue to provide parts for ten years for this model. Mr. McComb also expressed concerns on the funding for Phases 3 and 4. City Manager Garza stated that the Council will be approached for additional funds for Phases 3 and 4 if it becomes necessary. After further discussions, several Council Members expressed the opinion that they were not satisfied with the proposed change order. Dr. McNichols asked what would be the result if a determination was made that the City's microwave system is not at fault. Deputy City Manager Garza replied that General Electric will repair all problems associated with the system. Dr. McNichols inquired if the additional monies requested in the proposed change order will upgrade the City's current system. Deputy City Manager Garza replied that the monies will not upgrade the system. Mayor Rhodes expressed concerns about the system but stated that the change order was necessary. Mr. McComb asked if monies would be requested in next year's budget to address the problems associated with the City's microwave system. Deputy City Manager Garza stated that annual maintenance costs should be incurred for the reliable functioning of the system. Council Member Longoria voiced her approval of the change order. Mayor Rhodes called for comments from the audience. Mr. J.E. O'Brien, 4130 Pompano, expressed his concerns of the requested change order. He wanted to know if the City would pay General Electric before or after the study. He also asked that if all law enforcement entities were consolidated, would the City be required to update the system. Minutes Regular Council Meeting February 25, 1992 Page 5 Deputy City Manager Garza replied that there would be no updates to the system. He also stated that the City will pay General Electric after the study is completed. Mr. Jeff Young, Regional Manager, Southwestern Bell Telephone, commented on the availability of an alternative solution to the microwave system. He informed the Council that the telephone company has fiber optic cable available as an option. 1.a. M92-045 Motion authorizing a change order to the radio system contract with Ericsson General Electric Company to modify and add additional equipment for the microwave system that are beyond the scope of the original contract.

ORDINANCE NO. 021337 APPROPRIATING $380,000 FROM THE LAW ENFORCEMENT TRUST FUND ($200,000 FROM ACCOUNT 111-000-243.12-000 AND $180,000 FROM ACCOUNT 111-000-243.13-000) FOR A CHANGE ORDER TO THE RADIO SYSTEM CON TRACT WITH ERICSSON GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY. An emergency was declared and the foregoing ordinance passed by the following vote: Rhodes, Guerrero, Longoria, Martin, McComb, McNichols, Moss, and Slavik voting, "Aye"; Galindo, "No? ** Mayor Rhodes called for the report on the contract with Camp, Dresser & McKee. City Manager Juan Garza commented on the effect the President's moratorium will have on the contract for Camp, Dresser & McKee; deadlines to be met; and the utilization of City personnel. A film presentation was shown at this time. Mr. Victor Medina, Director of Public Utilities, presented an overview on the establishment of the storm water utility. Mr. Martin questioned the wet weather monitoring program. He asked if the City or the consultant would be purchasing the equipment. Mr. Medina replied that the City would purchase equipment from the consultant. Mr. Martin asked why the City is not purchasing their own equipment. City Manager Garza stated that there were two reasons: 1) The City has been assured there will be no Minutes Regular Council Meeting February 25, 1992 Page 6 increase in cost for the purchase of equipment, and 2) The consultant will install the equipment and will be held responsible for upgrading of the equipment. Mr. Martin inquired about the funding for the wet weather monitoring program, specifically the Other Expenses. Mr. Medina furnished a breakdown of the funding, and a brief discussion followed on the funding of the wet weather monitoring program. Mr. Martin commented that the establishment of a storm water utility would be very presumptive. He explained that the City does not know what costs will be incurred with the utility. He also felt that there were other options to fund this activity. After further discussion, Mr. Martin made a motion to delete the establishment of the storm water utility. Mr. Martin questioned if the use of a local contractor was a verbal agreement or if the City was assured of the local participation. Mr. Medina and City Manager Garza assured the Council that there will be participation by the local contractor. Council Members voiced their agreement in deleting the establishment of a storm water utility. Mayor Rhodes inquired as to how this would affect the contract. City Manager Garza stated that the establishment phase can be set aside until staff has additional information. Mayor Rhodes called for the vote on the motion to amend the contract and it passed unanimously. Dr. McNichols expressed his feelings on the City not having enough funds for the program. Additionally, he asked if other parts of the program could be performed locally. City Manager Garza explained to the Council that the contractor will be an asset to the program because of their previous dealings with the EPA. Dr. McNichols asked for the breakdown of the $158,000 in professional services. Mr. Medina supplied the information as follows: $6,000 for plans and details for on- site monitoring locations; $30,000 for installation of five sites and training; $25,000 for student and training manuals; $85,000 for technical oversight by the consultant; $12,000 for configuration of equipment. A brief question and answer period followed. Minutes Regular Council Meeting February 25, 1992 Page 7 Dr. McNichols asked if Part 1 Application fees could be lowered, and Mr. Medina stated that costs have been cut to the extent possible. Mr. Medina further explained the process for the submission of the application. Mrs. Slavik expressed her appreciation to staff for reducing expenditures. Mr. McComb voiced his concerns on the establishment of the management plan, indicating that he felt that the plan was not necessary. Mayor Rhodes called for comments from the audience. Ms Anna Summerlin commented on the use of other sources such as marine scientists on the effect of storm water run-offs. Mr. Rome Smith, resident of Corpus Christi, stated that graduate students at CCSU could be utilized to perform studies for the City in association with the program. 2. M92-046 Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to enter into a contract with Camp, Dresser & McKee (CDM) for professional services related to storm water management including: completing the City's Part 1 NPDES permit application, conducting a wet weather sampling program.

Mr. Moss pointed out to staff that if the existing designs were used, chemical use would be minimal In regard to Item 5, Council Member McNichols expressed concern about the lack of local companies participating in the bidding process, and Carl Crull, Director of Engineering Services, stated that local contractors were contacted but none were interested. Another local contractor previously in the business of repairing tennis courts is no longer in business. Minutes Regular Council Meeting February 25, 1992 Page 9 Responding to questions from Council Member Slavik concerning Item 6, four-year lease agreement with the Lady Lex Museum, City Manager Juan Garza stated that zoning issues were researched and staff felt that changes did not violate the City Charter. Mr. James Bray, City Attorney, explained the zoning changes. After a brief question and answer period, Mr. J.E. O'Brien, 4130 Pompano, requested a complete explanation on the reasons why the lease did not violate the City Charter. Mr. Bray further explained that the zoning changes will not violate the City Charter on leases. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes and the following were passed: 4.

Mayor Rhodes recessed the Council Meeting for a short break. Minutes Regular Council Meeting February 25, 1992 Page 10 Mayor Rhodes reconvened the Council Meeting and called for consideration of Item 9, regarding the reimbursement of $21,100 to Florida Gas Transmission Company through Valero Transmission, L.P.. Victor Medina, Director of Public Utilities, provided information to the Council in regard to the plan to provide gas service to the Country Creek Subdivision, which is outside the City limits. Council Member Martin inquired if the City has a written policy that service must be provided to all new subdivisions, or if this is just the usual procedure. He questioned the wisdom of this expenditure to provide gas service for such a small subdivision in which there is no guarantee that very many property owners would even have gas installed. He questioned Mr. Medina as to what percentage of property owners in new subdivisions are actually gas customers. Mr. Medina replied that from 40 to 50% of the property owners in new subdivisions are gas customers, and Mr. Martin stated that he would like to see the figures on this and again questioned the necessity of paying so much to extend gas outside the city limits in small subdivisions. He expressed the opinion that this is not a very prudent practice. Mr. Medina pointed out that this would allow the City to loop the system totally on the south side. Council Member Galindo inquired about the feasibility of annexing this subdivision into the City, and Council Member Martin explained that this would not be possible since they are not adjacent to the City at any point. Council Member Galindo stated that he would like to see a map of this area, and Council Member McNichols expressed the opinion that this was a policy issue that should be discussed at length. Mayor Rhodes then withdrew Item No. 9. 9. Withdrawn Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to reimburse $21,100 to Florida Gas Transmission Company through Valero Transmission, L.P. for necessary construction and materials on Florida Gas Transmission Company's existing pipeline for delivery of natural gas to the new Country Creek Subdivision located at Oso Parkway south of Oso Creek. Mayor Rhodes called for consideration of a motion pertaining to the new sanitary landfill site selection and permitting process, the appointment of a Citizens' Advisory Committee, and approving a contract with HDR Engineering, Inc. Minutes Regular Council Meeting February 25, 1992 Page 11 Tom Utter, Director of Public Works, provided background information on the City's landfills, stating that the Westside Landfill was closed in December, 1991, and the Elliott Landfill has limited life span. He explained that the acquisition of another landfill site and the permitting process requires a four to six-year time frame, and staff proposes that this process begin now. Mr. Utter continued by stating that staff has been working with the twelve -county area in the Coastal Bend Council of Governments to study the new landfill needs. He also addressed the recommendation of the appointment of a Citizens' Advisory Committee, noting that a broad-based committee could recommend a site to the City Council. He further stated that a nine -member committee is proposed, but he would like to request that the Council delay appointing the committee until staff has an opportunity to make recommendations on the membership. He pointed out that the site location would be a very controversial issue, and the committee could conduct public hearings to obtain input from citizens, following which they could make a recommendation on the location. Council Member Galindo asked about the maximum amount to be spent for the consultants, and Mr. Utter stated that it will be $75,000 plus "out-of-pocket" expenses such as lodging, meals, travel, etc. for the consultants who will be working out of their Dallas office. He summarized by stating that staff felt that their charges are reasonable. Council Member Martin made comments about using staff for these studies versus employing a consultant. He then asked for a brief synopsis of the project that was conducted in 1981 - 1983 on the subject of the next landfill for the City. Mr. Utter assured him that this information could be provided the Council and commented that some of those studies have some value. He also stated that City staff would certainly be involved in the site selection studies. Council Member McNichols noted that the Council decided some time ago that privatization was not the right way to go because of the well-managed Solid Waste Department. He asked if those same employees could not work on the site selection, and Mr. Utter assured him that if the Council so desires, the staff would make every effort to do that, but that this is such an important issue that he felt that the City should obtain the finest experts available. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes and the following motion passed: 10. M92-050 Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to proceed with the new sanitary landfill site selection and permitting process and authorizing appointment of a Citizens' Advisory Committee, and authorizing a professional services contract with HDR Engineering, Inc., who will assist in the planning and acquisition of the new sanitary landfill site. Minutes Regular Council Meeting February 25, 1992 Page 12 The foregoing motion passed by the following vote: Rhodes, Galindo, Longoria, Martin, McNichols, Moss, Slavik voting "Aye"; McComb voting "No"; Guerrero absent. Mayor Rhodes announced the public hearing on the following zoning case: 11. Application No. 192-6 Acetylene Oxygen Company: A change of zoning from "B-4" General Business District to "I-3" Heavy Industrial District on Lot 16, Ebony Acres, located on the southwest corner of Leopard and Lantana Streets. Planning Commission and Staff recommendation: Denial of the "I-3" Heavy Industrial District and in lieu thereof, approval of an "I-2" Light Industrial District on the south 176 feet of Lot 16, Ebony Acres. Mayor Rhodes commented that Council Members have received telephone calls from associates of a nearby school who have expressed concern about this change of zoning. She inquired if consideration of a Special Permit to limit the storage tanks to a specific location had been considered. Bill Hennings, Director of Developmental Services, stated that the applicant plans to have outside storage tanks on the rear 176 feet of the lot. Council Member Longoria explained that concern has been expressed about the children who attend the school in the vicinity having to walk near the area where the storage tanks are to be located and suggested that a Special Permit be considered to specify where the tanks should be located. Mayor Rhodes inquired of the applicant if a Special Permit would be acceptable, and Ernest Villarreal, representing the Acetylene Oxygen Company, stated that a Special Permit would be acceptable because they only plan to install three outside storage tanks on the back portion of the property. Council Member Martin inquired if there were any problems with the outside storage of this kind of material, and Mr. Hennings replied that the materials to be stored do not fall into the objectionable use category. He stated also that these gases do not pose a danger as long as they are in separate tanks. Mayor Rhodes ascertained that no one in the audience wished to speak in opposition to this zoning application. A motion was made by Council Member Martin that the hearing be closed; seconded by Council Member Galindo; and passed unanimously. A motion was made by Mayor Rhodes that the requested "I-3" zoning and the recommended "I-2" zoning be denied and in lieu thereof, that a Special Permit be approved Minutes Regular Council Meeting February 25, 1992 Page 13 to allow for the installation of three outside storage tanks on the rear 176' of the lot, specifically one 3,000 gallon tank for liquid oxygen; one being a 3,000 gallon tank for nitrogen; and the other being a 20 -ton tank for carbon dioxide, subject to an appropriate site plan. The motion was seconded by Council Member Slavik and passed unanimously. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes, and the following ordinance was passed: ORDINANCE NO. 021340 AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE UPON APPLICATION OF ACETYLENE OXYGEN COMPANY BY GRANTING A SPECIAL COUNCIL PERMIT FOR INSTALLATION OF ABOVEGROUND STORAGE TANKS FOR NONFLAMMABLE MATERIALS SUBJECT TO A SITE PLAN WITH THREE (3) CONDITIONS ON THE SOUTH 176 FEET OF LOT 16, EBONY ACRES; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.

Mayor Rhodes referred to the closed meeting scheduled to consider evaluations of the City Manager and City Secretary and stated that she would like to delay this for one week in order to obtain the evaluation forms from all of the Council Members. City Manager referred to the ribbon -cutting ceremonies for the two Senior Citizen Centers as outlined in a memorandum sent to the Council on Friday. Mayor Rhodes stated that the City Secretary had circulated a memorandum and most of the Council Members indicated an interest in attending. She suggested that rather than having the ceremonies on two separate days, that a bus be engaged to transport the Council Minutes Regular Council Meeting February 25, 1992 Page 15 Members from one location to the other on the same day, preferably on a Tuesday. Council Members Martin and Slavik indicated their concurrence. City Manager Garza stated that he will try to arrange the ceremonies accordingly. City Manager Garza referred to a newspaper article in which a Council Member was quoted as saying that the City Manager frequently plays golf on Friday. He stated that this is not true; he seldom plays golf during the week; when he does take time off, he does not consider it to be compensatory time, but always charges the time to his vacation days. Council Member Galindo inquired if the Council would be interested in reports as to what resources the City and the County have for services such as water sampling, etc., and City Manager Garza stated that he will check this out. There were no petitions or comments from the audience. There being no further business to come before the Council, Mayor Rhodes declared the Council Meeting adjourned at 5:40 p.m. on February 25, 1992.
