MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 25, 1987
. TO: - Craig McDowell
City Manager, City of Corpus Christi
FROM: Gary Bushell
President, C. C. Area Economic Development Corporation
SUBJECT:, Downtown Retreat - May 9, 1987
Attached are two proposals which I believe are necessary to make the
Downtown Retreat a success.
The proposed budget for the International Downtown Association's
portion is $10,300. That includes compensation for three people for
two days, travel and facilities. I can get their rooms and the
conference hall contributed but we will have some additional
transcription expenses, so I suggest staying with that figure.
The second is one from Shiner,. Moseley and Associates to -assemble all
identifiable planning efforts for the Downtown Bayfront area from 1950
to present. These plans will be compiled in a loose leaf binder along
with accompanying digests. Graphic displayes will be prepared so that
the participants can see and understand what has been proposed in the
various plans. The cost for the research and graphics will not exceed
$5,000.
I would hope the City might be able to fund this $15,300 effort out of
the $100,000 in funds set aside for the Downtown earlier this month.

Dear O.K.:
This is a follow-up letter to our telephone conversation
this week in which you asked me to outline a budget for
your upcoming retreat on the -future of downtown.
In light of an expected attendance of approximately
80-100 people, we proposed that we will need three
people to manage and facilitate the meeting. As you
know, I am more than happy to be one of those three
people and estimate that you will be charged my daily
rate of X8920 for two days. In addition, I would like to
propose that the other facilitators be Michael Doyle, .
President and Co-founder of Interaction Associates, and
Joan McIntosh, an associate of that organization. I am
not sure what their normal rates are but they have
agreed to provide two days of consulting, in the form of
preparation for the meeting and the actual facilitation,
for approximately $3,500 to $4,000 for both of their
services. Michael has been engaged in working with many
communities as well as large corporations over the last
decade and has pioneered the development of many tools
used in the field of management, development and systems
change. Joan, who recently joined Interaction
Associates as Marketing Director, also has a long
history of working in the field of management,
development and collaboration.
Interaction Associates also offers a service which
allows them to either photograph or transcribe the group
memory which will be developed as part of the meeting.
The cost of this transcription is estimated to cost
approximately $500 so t1,000. This is certainly an
optional feature which we can discuss at the conclusion
of the meeting in terms of developing a summary for
those who participate.
O.K. Smith
March 19, 1987
Page 2 of 2
In addition to consulting time, I would estimate travel
expenses amounting to approximately $600 each. Over and
above that there will be expenses for the use of the
facility and for any food service. Those are costs
which you will -need to estimate.
I think your suggestion of charging a fee to attend
makes sense and may be used to offset a good portion of
the expenses.
In summary, let me state the budget as follows: •.-
Consulting assistance (two days for three people) $5,500
to $6,600; Travel for three people $ ge ; //?00
Transcription $1,000; and Facilities and food services
$1,500 to $2,500.
I hope this serves as a useful budget outline for the
meeting: .1 look forward to working with you in the
future.
Sincerely,
T ci\;il�c(���

Gentlemen:
The purpose of the project is to do a thorough search of all
identifiable plans, reports and studies to establish the lack of,
and need for, a plan to address the changes in our downtown area
and along our bayfront due to the growth and development of our
city and its tourist industry.
Incidently, I believe a new name/description needs to be found to
describe the area we are examining. The terms "downtown,"
"bayfront," etc. have established meanings to different people --
often with strong preconceived ideas.
I. OVERVIEW
Shiner, Moseley and Associates (SMA) appreciates the
opportunity to present this proposal and concurs with your
belief that before any meaningful planning effort for our
bayfront area can be undertaken, the lack of, and need for,
an overall plan for the area must be established. The
upcoming city elections and the proposed development in this
key portion of our city landscape make this a most opportune
time for this research. Our aim would be to have the final
report out in time for the new City Council goals workshop
that generally is scheduled for the month of May.
II. OVERALL STRATEGY
With the cooperation of the city and other public agencies,
we will identify and compile all available plans, studies,
reports, and maps generated since 1950 that have to do with
the future of the City's downtown and bayfront area.
III. WORK PROGRAM
This work program includes two separate tasks, each of which
is part of an overall strategy in determining exactly where
we are to date with regard to downtown/bayfront area
planning and how we got here.

Page 2 -
1. Task I. Assemble background on all identifiable
planning efforts from 1950 to present. This would
include but not be limited to the following planning
categories:
Implemented
Adopted
Published
Never Published
This may also include all reports and studies
commissioned by the City Council or staff from as far
back as City Council Agenda's are available, hopefully
since at least to 1965. Although these City reports
and studies are not official guidelines to development,
they will reflect the ,direction the city often
considered going at any given time relative to planning
for its most visible resource. Plans by other public
and private organizations will also be identified and
obtained.
2. Task 2. Identify the responsible players that have
meaningful jurisdiction in the downtown and bayfront
area. These players would include but not be limited
to:
Governing Bodies: City, County, State, Federal,
Port and Aransas Cotton Compress
- Advisory bodies created under government umbrella
Public At Large: Taxpayers Association, OPUS,
neighborhood associates, etc.-
- Business interest groups _ _ --
IV. DELIVERABLES
The project would provide you with two specific products:
1. Compilation: One item would be a compilation of all
obtainable plans, reports, studies and maps into a
loose leaf binder and accompanying digest.
2. Graphics: In addition, we will present a graphic
display showing plans, etc., done and their
relationship to one another utilizing a base map and
overlays with applicable supporting information. This
graphic presentation will be done in a manner to
emphasize the characteristics of the different plans
and relationships (voids, overlaps, conflicts, etc.)
between them, and should be most useful in
demonstrating needs.

V. TIMETABLE
P7024
The entire project is expected to take about 3-4 weeks
depending on the amount of cooperation we get from the
public and private groups and the availability/condition of
the information. It is our aim to meet your objective of
having the report completed in time to be utilized by the
new City Council at their goals workshop generally held in
May or June.
VI. COST
-The estimated cost for all research including working
graphics will not exceed $5,000. Should presentation grade
graphics be required they will be done at cost.
Shiner, Moseley and Associates appreciates the opportunity to
present this proposal to you. If you are in general concurrence
with this proposal, please execute below and we will begin work
immediately. Should you have any questions, please don't
hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
Shiner, Moseley and Associates, Inc.
