Chair Bell recognized the members of the Charter Committee and provided a presentation covering the following topics: Proposition 1 -Establishing a dedicated fund to be used solely for residential street reconstruction and authorizing the city council to levy,assess and collect a property tax not to exceed six cents($0.06)per one hundred($100.00) of assessed value for the purpose of residential street reconstruction,said taxes to be maintained in this dedicated fund and used solely for the purpose of residential street reconstruction,and said taxes to be gradually implemented at a rate of not more than two cents($0.02)per one hundred dollars($100.00)per year. Chair Bell discussed the following topics: that this tax would be outside the property tax cap;the amount the tax would raise;its gradual implementation; and its deductability on federal income taxes versus user or maintenance fees not being deductible. Council members and Chair Bell discussed the following topics: using property taxes versus fees to raise monies;funding street repairs by various means and not solely via property taxes;that city council must still vote on tax increases in future years;this tax being subject to property tax rollback;and the potential for automatic rollback legislation at the state level. City Secretary Rebecca Huerta stated that property tax rollback elections are not relegated to being held on uniform election dates. Council members and Chair Bell discussed the following additional topics: the intent of Proposition 1 is to create a lock box for reconstruction;the definition of reconstruction;the federal definition of reconstruction;the distinction between maintenance and reconstruction;that Proposition 1 is a pay-as-you-go program;the use of bond monies;contractor capacity considerations;and whether monies from this tax should be used for maintenance and operations,debt service,architectual or engineering fees or overhead costs. MOTION OF DIRECTION Council Member McIntyre made a motion of direction directing staff to bring back language to the city council to exclude the use of this fund for debt service,maintenance and operations exepenses,but allowing for architectual and engineering costs associated with residential street reconstruction projects. Council members and Chair Bell discussed the following topics: whether the fund should be used to fund project management costs;that the intent of this fund is for residential street reconstruction;the cost of utilities;that this fund is one component of various funding sources for reconstruction of streets; and what language should be included in the City Charter. This Motion of Direction passed unanimously. Council members and Chair Bell also discussed the cost of utilities on commerical,arterials and residential streets. In response to a question from a council member,City Attorney Miles Risley stated that,as currently written,the Corpus Christi Page 11 Printed on 6/21/2016 City Council Meeting Minutes June 14,2016 languange in Proposition 1 would cover residential street reconstruction costs, but not associated utility costs. A council member suggested adding the term, "and associated utility costs"to the Proposition. In response to a question from a council member,City Attorney Risley stated that the addition of such language,regarding utility costs,would broaden the scope of what could be spent out of the Street Fund to include utility costs,but would not mandate expenses related to utilities. Council members then discussed the following topics: the added flexibility of including"and associated utility costs"language in Proposition 1;and the need for additional revenue sources,even if such language is included. MOTION OF DIRECTION Council Member McIntyre made a motion of direction directing city staff to add, "and associated utility costs"to Proposition 1,seconded by Council Member Scott and passed unanimously. A council member and Chair Bell discussed that the amount of money to be raised through Proposition 1;and that approximately$3.4 million dollars is projected to be raised each year so that the total amount projected to be raised in year three,and each year thereafter,will total approximately$10 million. Chair Bell went on to present the remaining propositions as follows: Proposition 2-Providing that the mayor pro tem shall be the council member elected at-large who received the highest number of votes. Chair Bell stated that this addresses the stability needed in a mayor pro tem;that ceremonial functions could be shared;and that it addresses the issue of disability of the mayor. Proposition 3-Adjusting total annual compensation for the mayor to$24,000 and total annual compensation for each council member to$18,000,and eliminating all other forms of compensation,to be effective with the city council elected in 2022. Chair Bell stated that the city council's current compensation was set in 1975;this would eliminate the mayor's and city council members'car allowances and health insurance coverage;no other compensation would be allowed;and is designed to allow more people the opportunity to serve on the city council. Proposition 4-Allowing for procurement of contracts for independent auditor with terms up to five years,up from the current three-year limit. Proposition 5-Providing for the appointment of two alternate members to the Civil Service Board. Chair Bell stated that this will be in addition to the three members currently appointed to the Board;will assist in timely scheduling of cases and allow replacements if conflicts arise. Proposition 6-Eliminating the prohibition on city employees fling for nomination or election to municipal public office to comply with Texas Local Government Code Section 150.041 due to state law having changed, disallowing such prohibition. Proposition 7-Providing authority to issue bonds in accordance with the laws Corpus Christi Page 12 Printed on 6/21/2016 City Council Meeting Minutes June 14,2016 of the State of Texas,in compliance with Texas laws created to provide authority to borrow funds. Proposition 8-Clarifying the approval process for leases,updating the statutory reference,and eliminating the waiting periods for leases and lease amendments which do not exceed 5 years,which maintains the referendum requirement for leases over 5 years;updates statutory reference for petitions; and eliminates the waiting period if under 5 years. Proposition 9-Repealing an unnecessary provision regarding untreated water supply contracts because separate authority for untreated water supply contracts is not needed. Proposition 10-Updating legal references in the general powers section and clarifying the general powers. Proposition 11 -Clarifying the procedures regarding purchases and contracts to be in conformity with state law because the Charter language is out of date as state laws have changed to allow different types of competitive procurements. Chair Bell also addressed the city council's charge to the Charter Commission to review the mayor's and city council members'terms of office. Chair Bell stated that three-year terms were problematic regarding off-years;a four-year term for only the mayor was considered;as well as four-year terms for all council members. However,Chair Bell stated that any term longer than two years would require an amendment to the Texas Constitution because not all members of the city council are elected by a majority vote. Chair Bell also discussed staggered terms and the challenges they would present. In conclusion,Chair Bell stated that a consensus was not reached among Commission Members regarding any change. City Secretary Rebecca Huerta announced that a public hearing will be held during the June 21,2016 city council meeting to discuss and consider the proposed Charter Amendments for the November 8,2016 Special Election. 35.
