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. • / Corpus Christi Area - Economic Development Corporation 512-883-5571,1201 N.

Smith Executive Vice President Esenjay Development Corporation 11 MBank Center South 500 North Water Street Corpus Christi, TX 78471 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(��� Richard H. Bradle�� President - . SHINER, MOSELEY AND ASSOCIATES ENGINEERS + CONSULTANTS 2820 S.P.I.D., Suite 210 Corpus Christi, Texas 78 41 5-1 81 8 Phone(512)857-2211 March 20, 1987 SHINER, MOSELEY , AND ASSOCIATES ENGINEERS + CONSULTANTS Corpus Christi Area Economic Development Corp. P.O. Box 640 Corpus Christi, Texas 78403 Attn: Gary Bushell Re: PLANNING ASSESSMENT Toby Shor, M.S. Urban 6 Hegional Planneg 2020 SPI0, Suite 210 Corpus Chnst,. Teras 70415 (5121857-2211 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. ' Corpus'Christi Area Economic Development Corp. P7024 March -20, 1987 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. Corpus Christi Area Economic Development Corp. March 20, 1987 Page 3 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.
