Mr. Abel Alonzo, 1701 Thames, commended the City Manager for his desire to work with

Development Corporation.
Mr. Jack Gordy, 310 Norton St., said the budget shortfalls must have been known prior to

issues. Council Member Scott asked if Mr. Gordy had any evidence to support his statement, adding
that he was not aware of the budget shortfalls until a few days ago. Mr. Gordy replied that there has
been a problem since November when the Council did not receive the financial reports that were due.
Mr. Jose Marroquin, 2433 Allencrest, discussed specific figures in the fuel charge and
conservation fee charged by Central Power and Light Company. He said CPL should not charge a

Regular Council Meeting
January 25, 2000

Mayor Neal referred to the presentation on the day's agenda, an overview of the FY99-O0
budget and a five-year forecast. City Manager Garcia said this presentation was the kick-offof this
year's budget process. He noted that last year staff completely restructured the budget process,
including combining the capital budget presentation with the presentations for the General Fund and
enterprise funds. He said part of staff's objective was to create a historical picture of where the city
has been financially and where they can anticipate going over the next five years. Mr. Garcia added
that they began discussing the budget with the city's department heads during a retreat last weekend
and with the police and firefighters unions on Sunday.
Deputy City Manager Noe gave a computer presentation on several aspects of the budget. The
first elements discussed were the major revenues: property tax, sales tax, franchise fees, and solid
waste fees. He said those combined revenues represent about 79% of the General Fund's revenues,
which rose from $102.98 million in FY94-95 to $120.9 million in FY98-99. He explained that
numbers for FY98-99 represent staffs latest estimates because they have not been finalized or
audited. He said they expect to have audited numbers in the next few weeks and they do not expect
them to change sigrdficantly.
Mr. Noe said that ad valorem tax revenues, which make up about 25.5% of the General Fund
revenues, have grown from $26 million in FY94-95 to $30.9 million in FY98-99; in addition, net
taxable assessed values have increased from $6.2 billion to $7.2 billion during that time. He also
further discussed tax rates for all the taxing entities. The second major revenue source is sales tax
revenues, which represents about 24.44% of General Fund revenues. Those revenues experienced
modest growth over five years, from $25.4 million in FY94-95 to $29.6 million in FY98-99. Mr. Noe
said franchise fees represent about 11.8% of General Fund revenues and they mainly consist of fees
paid by CPL, Southwestern Bell, and AT&T Cable (formerly TCI Cablevision). Mr. Noe said that
solid waste revenues, which consists of residential rates and fees paid by commercial haulers,
represents 16.9% of General Fund revenues.
The Deputy City Manager then discussed expenditures, which have grown over the last five
years from $105.01 million to $125 million. He noted that fiscal year 1998-99 includes debt service
and lease payment expenditures which were not previously recorded in the General Fund. The break
down of expenditures is as follows: public safety-51%; solid waste- 12%; general government- 10%;
park and recreation and street services-8% each; development services, non-departmental, and health
services-3% each; and library-2%. He explained that public safety expenditures have increased from
$50.5 million in FY94-95 to $63 million in FY98-99. Mr. Noe also described generally gradual
increases that occurred in the major expenditure areas.
Mr. Noe then discussed the fund balances, which have varied as follows: $2.5 million in
FY94-95; $1.4 million in FY95-96; $2.9 million in FY96-97; $6.5 million in FY97-98; and $3.4
million in FY98-99. Mr. Garcia said the $6.5 million amount was accompanied by a substantial
reduction in the debt service fund reserve. Mr. Noe said that during those corresponding years, the
3
Minutes
Regular Council Meeting
January 25, 2000
Page 4
fund balance as a percentage of expenditures was as follows: 2.39% in FY94-95; 1.28%; 2.60%;
5.76%; and 2.77% in FY98-99. He explained that the rating agencies are less concerned with the
absolute dollar mount of the city's fund balance as they are with how that amount converts to a
percentage of the city's total expenditures. He also reviewed a comparison of revenues to
expenditures.
With regard to FY98-99 budget results, Mr. Noe said that staff estimated that the revenues
would be $121.29 million, while the actual revenues at this point are estimated to be $120.9 million.
The expenditures were budgeted to be $123.9 million while the actual expenditures are estimated
to be $125 million. As a result, the estimated fund balance was $4.91 million, while the actual
balance is $3.46 million. Mr. Garcia said staff continues to revise their revenue estimates and they
are assessing their budgeted expenditures. He noted that there were several unanticipated
expenditures during the year, the major one being the need to contract out brush pick up services.
The City Manager said that even though the amount of the ending balance has been reduced, the city
still has a positive balance. He added that the budget adjustment staff is recommending now is
substantially less than the budget adjustment made last year at this time.
Mr. Noe then discussed the impact on the current year budget. He said staff has taken the
following actions: updated the beginning balance; reduced the projected sales tax and ad valorem
tax revenues; and increased administrative cost recovery fee revenues to reflect the final cost
recovery plan. He said items that are not included in the budget update are expenditures related to
Hurricane Brett, brush collection efforts, and unexpected landfill requirements. He said cost
reduction and containment efforts have been implemented by Solid Waste Services to offset
increased budget requirements.
As a result of the changes discussed, the updated financial statement for FY99-00 is as
follows: the beginning balance was changed from $4.91 million in the adopted budget to $3.46
million in the updated budget; revenues were increased from $125.78 million to $126.2 million;
expenditures were decreased from $124.49 million to $124.09 million; and the closing balance was
reduced from $6.2 million to $5.57 million, or a variance of $627,377.
In preparing the five-year budget forecast, Mr. Noe said staff made the following revenue
assumptions: property tax, 2.55% growth; industrial district, 2% growth; sales tax, 3% growth; CPL,
2% growth; solid waste, 1% for collections and 2% at the landfill; building permits, 1% growth;
Municipal Court, 2% growth; full allocation of indirect costs; and no fee increases or tax rate
increases. Mr. Noe said that the impact of the annexation program the Council adopted in December
1999 has been built into all of the scenarios (both revenues and expenditures).
Mr. Noe then reviewed the expenditure assumptions made by staff for the five-year budget
forecast: maintain the current level of budgeted civilian and sworn personnel; maintain the police
and fire training academies; maintain conunitments regarding debt service, including those
associated with bonds issued for the completion of the 1986 bond program; fund debt service on
bonds for the new landfill; reserve monies for repayment of the State Infrastructure Bank loan; fund

current approved lease payments; replace 35 marked police units and one pumper truck on a cash
basis; and fund required 911 expenditures. The assumptions also include budgeting for annual
increases in several areas: 5%-health insurance; 4%-liability and compensation insurance; 4%-fuel
costs; 2%- electrical costs; 5%-street materials; and 1% to 3%-supplies and other items.
The Deputy City Manager discussed three different scenarios and their resulting impact on
the budget. Scenario "A" calls for a continuation of current policies, with ad valorem revenues based
on maintaining 63% coverage in the G.O. Debt Service Fund and a 3% annual salary increase for
civilian and sworn personnel. Mr. Noe and Mr. Garcia then responded to Council members'
questions. Mr. Garcia pointed out that the scenarios prepared by staffwere mathematical examples
of the effect of different variables, which are negatively compounded year after year; however, staff
would not present to the Council a budget that is not balanced. He said the message provided by the
scenarios is that they need to be very diligent and conservative in approaching this year's budget.
Mr. Noe said that Scenario "B" illustrates a change in the debt policy in that the ad valorem
revenues are based on maintaining 50% coverage in the G.O. Debt Service Fund; it also includes a
3% annual salary increase for civilian and sworn personnel. Scenario "C" also contains the
assumption of 50% coverage for debt service, but it contemplates maintaining current annual salary
levels for civilian and sworn personnel over the five-year period with no increases.
Mr. Noe said the budget forecast can be summarized as follows: the financial outlook
presents a very difficult situation for all city operations; the current economic activity supports steady
revenue flows with little or no new growth; and since city departments are already operating with
restricted budgets, the outlook will require difficult operating and service decisions for the
immediate budget as well as for the long-term budget.
Mr. Noe outlined actions that need to be taken to address the budget issues. Immediate
actions include communicating the situation and completing the financial information, including the
General Fund close-oat, Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR), and current-year revenue
and expenditure daat. Actions for the current year include implementing a select hiring freeze for
non-uniform positions; instituting procedures for examining major expenditures before they are
made; and ensuring that all supervisors and managers understand that they should all be accountable
for the financial performance of the city.
Responding to Mr. Colmenero, Mr. Noe said their first priority would be to make up the
estimated $650,000 shortfall in the current year. Mr. Garcia pointed out that if they froze all of the
125 current vacancies, that would produce over $2 million in savings. However, since that is not
advisable, they can implement a selective hiring freeze. He emphasized that it is well within their
ability to manage the deficit.
Mr. Noe said the overall budget strategy for FY2000-01 includes balancing current year
revenues and expenditures; recognizing long-term impacts, including that much of this can only be
accomplished through a multi-year plan; building the city's financial strength; prioritizing basic

services; and realizing that this effort will take team work. Mr. Noe said the budget schedule this
year includes reviewing the reduction-in-force policy from January through March; providing a
presentation in April of the city's financial policies; and presenting the City Manager's
recommended budget in m/d-May. Mr. Garcia added that he believes they can begin a budget process
that takes the city into the next cycle on very solid financial footing.
Mr. Scott said he thinks Corpus Christi needs to continue to focus on bringing more
companies and more jobs here. Mr. Noe then responded to Mr. Scott's questions regarding the
differences in the budget scenarios.
In reply to Mr. Garrett, Mr. Garcia said that if the Crime Control and Prevention District is
not renewed by the voters, all of the burden of the additional 50 police officers would be passed on
to the General Fund. He said there is also a series of policy issues relating to the expenses relating
to the Crime Control District.
Mr. Kinnison expressed concern that in January 2000 the Council still does not have the
budget figures for the fiscal year ending July 31, 1999, which he said leads to questions regarding
numbers in the current year budget. He also said that when the City Manager made a series of budget
corrections last year, what he told the Council at that time ended up not being correct. Mr. Kinnison
also questioned how staff can be held accountable for the city's budgetary situation when they do
not have the capability of accessing current numbers. He said the Council should receive quarterly
financial information. Mr. Noe discussed problems that occurred with the PeopleSoft financial
system and he said it is staff's goal to have the necessary financial data in place by mid-March.
Responding to Dr. Gonzales, Mr. Noe said the city's books should be closed in the next week
or so, and audited numbers should be available in mid- to late-February. Dr. Gonzales questioned
how the Council can plan for the future when they do not really know how the city fared the past
year. He said he hopes staff can do a better job next year on the budget preparation process.
Mr. Colmenero asked about the problems associated with the financial data entry. Ms. Mary
Sullivan, Director of Finance, said the PeopleSoft system was implemented in March 1999 and since
then staffhas learned much about running the system, including that there are certain processes that
have to be mn in a certain order. As a result, there have been many transactions that have not posted
properly to the ledger and staffis having to go back and correct the errors. She said her staff has been
working many long hours on this project.
Mr. Colmenero said the Council should be informed about the impact on services that will
result from a selective hiring freeze and a possible reduction in force. Mr. Noe said the whole idea
is to achieve savings while minim/zing the impact on services. However, he added, in an
organization like the city--where 75% to 80% of the cost is attributable to "people costs"--significant
savings cannot be achieved without addressing those costs. Mr. Garcia added that 51% of the
General Fund's expenses are in public safety (police, fire, and EMS), which are covered by collective
bargaining agreements.

Responding to Mr. Scott, Mr. Garcia described specific expenditures that were miscalculated
in the Police Department. Mr. Noe added that staffrecogulzes that the city has limited resources that
have to be built into the budget and they are making an effort to be more conservative with regard
to both revenues and expenditures. Mr. Garcia added that the city's financial statements continue to
be in balance and that without making any adjustments, the city will have a closing balance of $5.57
million. In addition, in their presentation staff has outlined a plan that will ensure that they at least
make the closing balance that staffpromised in the adopted budget--S6.2 million--and it will likely
go over that amount.
In reply to Mr. Kinnison, Mr. Joe Montez, Budget Director, said that for the last five years,
the Budget Office has been preparing internal five-year forecasts, which indicated that eventually
the city would get to this point. Mr. Kinnison said they let themselves get into tkis situation where
people are finding out this information today and they should not have. He said it is time to move
forward whereby the Council is continuing to examine the budget and realize the long-term impact
that their decisions have.
Dr. Gon?ales asked if the Council would begin receiving quarterly reports. Mayor Neal said
that is what the Council asked for before they purchased the financial software package. He added
that people in business and industry can attest to the difficulty in implementing a new software
package. He then called for a brief recess.
Mayor Neal called for consideration of the consent agenda (Items 2-12). City Secretary Chapa
said Item 13 was postponed. Council members requested that Items 6, 8, and 12 be withheld for
discussion. There were no comments from the audience. Mr. Chapa polled the Council for their votes
and the following were passed:

Garrett, Gonzales, Kinnison, B. Longoria, J. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye."
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 12, aerial enclosed pedestrian bridge.
Responding to Council Member Gonzales, City Attomey Bray said the city is charging St.
James Episcopal School for leasing the space over the street because it is a property right that has
value. He added that this action has been taken with other entities, such as banks which have
constructed aerial bridges or skywalks. City Manager Garcia added that the leasing of the space is
a fairly common practice. He noted that the city cannot make a gift of property to an entity without
receiving some compensation. Dr. Gonzales said he could understand charging a bank for that use
but this case involves a safety factor. Mr. Bray replied that the market value in each case is charged
because they are all private interests--whether they are for-profit or non-profit.
Council Member Kinnison asked if the traffic light in that area will be moved. Mr. Escobar
said staff will evaluate the need for the traffic signal once the skywalk is in use. In addition, the time
that the school zone is in operation will be reviewed. Mr. Kinnison also asked why Item 12.a. is an
emergency item. Mr. Bray replied that the Charter has several definitions of what constitutes an
emergency and one of those is the efficient administration of city affairs, and it is within the
Council's prerogative to do this.
Responding to Council Member Betty Jean Longoria, Mr. Escobar said the skywalk will be
14'6". City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:

Mayor Neal referred to Item 14 regarding farmers markets, and a motion was made, seconded
and passed to open the public hearing. There were no comments from the audience. Council Member
Cooper made a motion to close the public heating, seconded by Council Member Scott, and passed.
Mr. Michael Gunning, Director of Planning and Development, explained that there is a
variation between slaws recommendation and the Planning Commission's recommendation. He said
staffis recommending the farmers market use as an accessory use to a shopping center and that the
use comply with the set-back and parking requirements. The commission is recommending that the
farmers market use have no additional parking requirements. He said staff is concerned that the
shopping centers will not be able to accommodate their patrons, who will be forced to park on the
street rights-of-way and in neighborhoods.
Responding to Mayor Neal, Mr. Gunning said that under staff's proposal, if someone
requested a penrdt for a farmers market use, they would have to demonstrate that the shopping center
does have excess parking spaces that can be dedicated to the farmers market use. If the center just
meets but does not exceed the parking requirements, the farmers market use would not be allowed
in that shopping center unless the applicant went to the Zoning Board of Adjustment to get a
variance or reduction in the parking requirement.
Mr. Tom Utter, Assistant City Manager for Development Services, explained that while the
shopping center which houses an existing farmers market has sufficient parking, staff is concerned
12
Minutes
Regular Council Meeting
January 25, 2000
Page 13
that in the future other shopping centers may decide to include farmers markets but they will not
have adequate parking to accommodate them.
In response to a question from the Mayor, City Secretary Chapa said the Council could make
a motion to concur with either the Planning Commission's recommendation or staff's
recommendation. He noted that the agenda caption has the same wording for both recommendations.
Mr. Gunning said that in the ordinance proposed by the Planning Commission, the word "parking"
is struck from that document but it is included in staff's proposed ordinance.
Council Member Betty Jean Longoria made a motion to concur with staff's recommendation,
seconded by Council Member Colmenero. Mr. Utter reiterated that the existing farmers market has
adequate parking and meets all of the requirements. Mr. Chapa polled the Council for their votes:
14. FIRST READING ORDINANCE
Amending the Zoning Ordinance by defining farmers market and farmers market retail sales
area and allowing the farmers market retail sales area in the "B-3" Business Districts and "B-
4" General Business Districts; amending the Comprehensive Plan to account for any
deviations from the existing Comprehensive Plan.
The foregoing ordinance passed on first reading by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero,
Cooper, Garrett, Gonzales, Kinnison, B. Longoria, J. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye."
Mayor Neai referred to Item 15, a proposed amendment to the Southside Area Development
Plan. A motion was made, seconded and passed to open the public hearing.
Mr. Gunning said the first proposed ordinance adopts six policies and a future land use map
for the Gardendale area that would promote the redevelopment of some of the peripheral streets and
protect the residential character of that neighborhood. He explained actions that have taken place in
that area in the last 10 years, including the improvement of Williams Drive and the subsequent
increase in traffic there. Consequently, the Gardendale Committee was formed, consisting of
residents and property owners who met with staff 12 times over two years.
Mr. Gunning said the residents indicated that they wanted to have zoning that incorporates
more than just professional office uses, so staff proposed the creation of a new zorfing district, "B-
lA" Neighborhood Business District, which falls between a "B-1" District and a "B-3" District. He
said the Gardendale Committee recommended targeting additional funds for improvements to
Gardendale Park and an increase in code enforcement efforts. The Planning Director then further
described specific elements of the new "B- 1A" District, including height modifications, landscape
and driveway requirements, and operating hours.

Mr. Gunning added that they will ask the Council to direct staffto initiate the rezonings along
Williams Drive and Holly Road between Everhart and Staples to the "B-lA" District. He said if
there are property owners who are opposed to the rezoning at this time, they will be excluded.
Mayor Neal commended staff and the Gardendale Committee for proposing what he hopes
will become a model for zoning uses in other areas of the city. Mr. Gunning thanked staff members
Bob Payne and Miguel Saldafia for their efforts. There were no comments from the audience.
Council Member Garrett made a motion to close the public hearing, seconded by Council Member
Colmenero, and passed.
Responding to Council Member Kirmison, Mr. Utter said that a few years ago the Council
designated Gardendaie part of a special developmental area under state law because their needs are
different from almost every other neighborhood in the city. Mr. Utter then named the members of
the Gardendale Committee: Robert Rudine, Tiburcio Soto, Carroll Norrell, Juan Gallegos, H.G.
Garrett, Theresa Gilbert, Kermit Sultemeier, Mateo Morales, W.L. Hermis, and Joe Garcia.

Farm and Garden Tracts, Section 52, being 8.01 acres out of Lot 17, located on the east side
of Waldron Road, approximately 400 feet south of Yorktown Boulevard.
City Secretary Chapa said the Planning Commission and staffrecommended denial of the
requested "T-lB" District, and in lieu thereof, approval of a "T-lC" Manufactured Home
Subdivision District. He added that the 20% rule was in effect for this item.
Mr. Gunning explained that the applicant owns a 20-acre lot south of Yorktown on which
he wants to locate a manufactured home on an interim basis until he can afford to build a permanent
home. The applicant applied for a "T-lB" District but staff, the Planning Commission, and the
applicant agreed to a "T-lC" District, which limits him to one unit per lot. He added that there were
two large property owners opposed to the "T-lB" District, but he did not know if they were opposed
to the recommended "T-lC." No one appeared in opposition to the zoning change. Mr. Colmenero
made a motion to close the public hearing, seconded by Mrs. Longoria, and passed. Mr. Chapa polled

Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 18, Central Power and Light (CPL) fuel case.
City Attorney Bray said these actions involve a resolution authorizing the city's intervention
in the ongoing fuel factor and surcharge case at the Public Utility Commission (PUC) involving
CPL. He said it also authorizes the city's intervention in the later reconciliation case where there will
be more probing into the bases for the increases.
Mr. Geoffi.ey Gay, the city's utility counsel in Austin, said the case immediately before the
PUC (Docket No. 21934) involves CPL's request for an increase in fuel factors equivalent to about
$55 million annually and a request to surcharge an additional $36.5 million to recover prior under-
recoveries of fuel. He said the statute in the last 20 years has contemplated that fuel costs will be
recovered on a basis in which they are incurred through a special adjustment clause so that the
company is made whole for its cost of fuel without any payment of margin or return to the company
(i.e., no profit) for this expense.
Mr. Gay said the PUC also provides that when a company reaches a specific percentage of
reasonable expenses for fuel (in this case 4%), they must request either a refund or a surcharge. Last
year CPL made a request to refund approximately $19 million and this year they are requesting a
surcharge. He said in September they finalized a fuel reconciliation proceeding involving CPL's fuel
costs for a three-year period ending in June 1998. As a result, CPL was required to take a

disallowance of fuel cost of approximately $8 million and they lost their effort to obtain a $19
million to $20 million reward they were seeking for operation of the South Texas Nuclear Project.
Mr. Gay said the PUC's rules limit this case to evaluation of the reasonableness of the
estimates provided by CPL on both the fuel cost and the load. He said CPL's request is largely
attributable to increases in the cost of natural gas, which is not unique to the company. Mr. Gay
added that the Corpus Christi City Council takes a more aggressive stand on behalf of its ratepayers
than any other city in Texas. He said they are looking forward to the finalization of the merger of
Central and South West Corporation and American Electric Power Company, which will lead to rote
reductions which go above and beyond the rate reductions mandated by the Texas Legislature.
Mr. Gay went on to say that at this time there are about 30 differem projects at the PUC to
implement Senate Bill 7, which calls for the eventual deregulation of electricity in Texas. Other
related matters include CPL's pending securitization case, where they have asked to securitize $1.3
billion in regulatory assets. He said they have taken the most aggressive stand in that case in
opposition to CPL's request, and they expect an order from the PUC soon. In addition, the
Legislature has mandated that on April 1, 2000, all the investor-owned utilities in the state will make
filings to unbundle their cost of service, which he explained. He also discussed the issue of
aggregation.
There were no comments from the audience. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for
their votes as follows:

Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 19, agreement with the Corpus Christi Convention
and Visitors Bureau (CVB).
Deputy City Manager Noe stated that the CVB Interim Board made a presentation to the
Council on December 21, 1999, regarding their recommendations about the CVB's operating
policies and the make up of the permanent board. He said that based on the Council's comments
during that meeting, some adjustments were made to the proposed agreement to clarify the
importance of marketing and addressing the city-owned facilities that rely on the CVB's services
exclusively. Mr. Noe also said that the compensation section mirrors the current agreement, adding
that long-term compensation issues will be discussed during the upcoming budget process.
Mr. Noe explained that the contract proposes the following board structure: three from the
lodging industry, two from the restaurant industry, two from area attractions, two from the air/ground
transportation industry, and six members from the community at large. All members are appointed
by the Council to three-year staggered terms to represent the diverse geographic nature of this area.
He said if the Council approves the agreement, the board appointments could be made during the
February 8, 2000, Council meeting.
Council Member John Longoria said the Council had a lengthy discussion on December 21 st
about the structure of the board, and he noted that the bylaws were not included with the proposed
contract. Mr. Noe replied that according to the people drafting the bylaws, the issues relating to an
executive committee and standing committees have been removed from the bylaws.
Mr. Longoria also asked about term limits, and City Attomey Bray replied that the CVB
Board is not specifically subject to the city's regulations governing boards and commissions, such
as the six-year term limit; rather, the CVB Board is a corporate directorship. Mr. Noe said that if the
Council wished to impose term limits, they should be spelled out in the agreement itself rather than
in the bylaws, which can be amended by the board. Mr. John Bell, the CVB's counsel, added that
he drafted a set of bylaws which conform to the requirements of the contract. He also noted that the
contract could require that the board have regular monthly meetings.
Council Member Kinnison asked if the contract could contain a clause that the Council has
to concur with any changes in the bylaws. Mr. Bell replied that they could, although in the past he
has recommended against that because many of the changes are "housekeeping" items and do not
require the Council's time. Mr. Bell said Mr. Bray had suggested that they provide the Council with
a copy of the bylaws and allot for a time period before they become effective. A brief discussion
ensued regarding the bylaws.
Mr. Longoria also asked about the regulations concerning filling an unexpired term. City
Secretary Chapa replied that normally the term limit on boards and commissions is six years, but if
a person is filling an unexpired term, he or she can serve more than six years. He said if the Council
18
Minutes
Regular Council Meeting
January 25, 2000
Page 19
wished to amend the CVB's proposed contract regarding the board members' terms, it should
comply with the roles for other city boards.
Council Member Garrett, a member of the CVB Interim Board, questioned why he was not
informed of a meeting attended by Council Member Betty Jean Longoria, another interim board
member, with other board members. Mrs. Longoria said that the interim board did not call another
meeting after the Council's December 21st discussion about the CVB, so she took the initiative and
contacted Mr. Noe and Mr. Bill Pruet, Interim Board Chairman, to discuss some of those issues.
Mayor Neal said if this contract is being brought to the Council without the approval of the
interim board, then it needs to go back to the board for their input, including the input of the Council
members who sit on the interim board. Mr. Noe replied that the interim board made a
recommendation but the Council did not like it, saying they wished to have more at-large slots and
mom control over the appointments. Mrs. Longoria pointed out that the interim board did not meet
again to discuss the Council's concerns. Mayor Neal said they should postpone this item until the
February 8th Council meeting.
Mr. Longoria said he did not think the contract needed to be changed, with the exception of
some issues related to the board's structure. Council Member Scott said he thought the Council
should receive quarterly updates fi:om the CVB. He also asked whether the city could lease the land
utilized by the Columbus ships to another group if the ships leave Corpus Christi. Mr. Bell replied
that there is a separate lease agreement between the city and the Columbus Fleet Association which
would have to be adjusted based on whatever occurs regarding the ships' location. Mr. Noe pointed
out that the contract does provide for quarterly reporting.
Mr. Kinnison noted that the 2-cent increase in the hotel/motel occupancy tax is not addressed
in the contract, and he said he wished to delete the words "from Padre Island, the Northwest area,
and the Westside area" on page six of the proposed agreement regarding representation on the
permanent board. Mr. Scott noted that the Council recently approved the annexation of a portion of
Mustang Island, and they will want to be represented on the CVB board since one of the issues to
contend with is how to spend hotel revenues fi'om the island.
Responding to Council Member Colmenero, Mr. Noe said the original target date for
appointments to the CVB board was Februmy 8th. He said if the Council was comfortable with the
general categories contained in the proposed agreement, they can ask the interim board to make
recommendations for appointments and open it up to individuals who may wish to submit their
names to the City Secretary's Office. Mayor Neal suggested that the appointments be moved back
one week to February 15th.
Mrs. Longoria asked the Council about the board's term limits, and there was consensus that
the terms should conform with the regulations for other city boards and commissions. In response
to Council Member Gonzales, Mr. Bray explained the termination clause in the proposed agreement.
Mr. Longoria requested a draft copy of the CVB's bylaws, and Mr. Colmenero suggested that they

be provided in advance of the next meeting.
A motion was made, seconded, and passed to postpone Item 19 until the February 8th
Council meeting.
19. POSTPONED
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 20, agreement with the Corpus Christi Regional
Economic Development Corporation (EDC).
Mr. Al Jones, Chairman of the EDC Interim Board, referred to draft copies of the consulting
agreement, bylaws, and organizational structure for the proposed EDC, which have been
unanimously approved by the interim board. He said the permanent EDC board would consist of 12
members, six of whom would represent private enterprise and six representing the public entities
which provide funding to the EDC, namely the City of Corpus Christi, the Port of Corpus Christi
Authority, and Nueces County. The city would appoint three members, the Port two members, and
the county one member. Mr. Jones said that with regard to the six appointments by private enterprise,
the initial appointments would be made by the interim board; after that, those six individuals will
be elected by the membership.
Mr. Jones explained that the permanent board will operate the EDC on a month-to-month
basis; however, their efforts will be supplemented by a larger board of trustees, consisting of 15 to
40 people, that will probably meet on a quarterly basis. He added that the consulting agreement
focuses on the EDC's mission, which is to bring in new jobs and expand existing businesses. He said
currently the EDC does not have an executive director and Mr. Louis Montoya has been
accomplishing those tasks at no charge. Mr. Jones said they are in the process of recruiting a new
director.
Council Member Betty Jean Longoria questioned why the city only appoints three members
to the EDC board in light of the financial contribution made by the city. Mr. Jones said they are
striving to have a relatively small board composed of 50% private representatives and 50% public
representatives. He added that they hope to receive about $500,000 a year in funding from private
interests. He said they also intend to keep the Council and the other entities informed about their
activities.

Council Member Gonzales said he thought the entities which are providing the funds to the
EDC should have more input into the organization's operation. He suggested that the city make a
total of five to seven appointments, the Port three, and the county two appointments. Council
Member Scott said he thought that splitting the appointments in half between public and private
interests will encourage participation by private enterprises.
Council Member Kinnison, a member of the interim board, said they discussed the make up
of the permanent board at length. He said they expect the private companies to participate in the
process and, in turn, many private companies expressed concem that they be equally represented on
the EDC board. Dr. Gonzales replied that the Council members are elected by private citizens, which
he explained.
Mayor Neai made a motion to amend Item 20 to change the date to July 31, 2000. The motion
was seconded by Mr. Scott and it passed. Dr. Gonzales made a motion that the city appoint five
members to the EDC board, the Port three, and the county one. Mr. Garcia asked Dr. Gonzales if he
wished those numbers to be fixed or floating to reflect the funding percentages. Instead, Mr.
Kinnison made a motion that the Council accept the recommendation of the interim board regarding
the make up of the permanent board as follows: 12 members with three appointed by the city, two
by the Port, one by the county, and six from the private sector. Mr. Kinnison's motion was seconded
by Mr. Scott.
City Secretary Chapa polled the Council on Mr. Kinnison's motion, and it passed by the
following vote: Neal, Colmenero, Cooper, Garrett, Kinnison, B. Longoria, J. Longoria, and Scott
voting "Aye"; Gonzales voting "No."
Mr. Scott asked if the contract allows the Council to appoint private citizens to the board, and
Mr. Bray replied that it does. Mr. Longoria and Mr. Kinnison said the contract is written in such a
way as to allow either private citizens or Council members to serve on the board. There were no
comments from the audience. Mr. Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:
20. M2000-031
Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute an agreement with the
Corpus Christi Regional Economic Development Corporation (EDC) whereby the EDC will
promote economic development in the Corpus Christi Bay area for an annual fee of
$375,000. The term of the agreement is January 1, 2000 through July 31, 2000.
The foregoing motion passed, as amended, by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero, Cooper,
Garrett, Gonzales, Kinnison, B. Longoria, J. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye."

Association. There were no comments from the audience. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council
for their votes as follows:
21. FIRST READING ORDINANCE
Authorizing the City Manager or his designee, to execute a five year lease with the Lady Lex
Museum on the Bay Association ("Museum") to berth the U.S.S. Lexington for its operation
as a museum on a portion of the submerged lands patented to the City in January 1924, being
roughly bounded by Breakwater Avenue, Bridgeport Avenue, the Breakwater, and the Bay,
and a portion of the adjacent beach, as shown on the attached exhibit A, in consideration of
the museum paying $1 per year, in advance.
The foregoing ordinance passed on first reading by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero,
Cooper, Garret-t, Gonzales, B. Longoria, and J. Longoria voting "Aye"; Kinnison and Scott
absent.
Mayor Neal called for a brief recess.
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 22, responses to disparity study recommendations.
City Manager Garcia said this was the second part of a presentation made to the Council on
November 9, 1999, regarding the results of the disparity study conducted by the LBJ School of
Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin. As a result of the first presentation, several
specific recommendations were made on ways the city could modify, implement or revise some of
its purchasing and contracting processes so as to achieve more diversity.
Dr. Helen Gurley, Director of Human Relations, explained that the agreement for the study
was entered into on June 1, 1998, and it should have been completed on May 31, 1999. However,
on April 15, 1999, the university requested a 90-day extension at no cost to the city. Dr. Gurley then
named the members of the Disparity Study Committee, which she chaired: Jimmy Bray, Jorge Garza,
Pat Alba, Mike Barrera, F.D. Glenn (who has retired), JoAnn Dominguez, Cynthia Garcia, and Angel
Escobar.
Dr. Gurley then described the disparity study recommendations and staff's responses to each
one. She also responded to Council members' questions and comments about them. The first set of
recommendations dealt with incorporating race- and gender-neutral measures, such as making
relevant city personnel accountable for the success of the city's minority and women business
enterprises (M/WBEs). She said the Human Relations Department will develop u-alning materials
to educate all department users about the selection and recruitment of M/WBEs as vendors and/or
contractors.

Minutes
Regular Council Meeting
January 25, 2000
Page 23
In addition, said Dr. Gurley, on a weekly basis the Materials Management Department will
begin circulating a summary sheet of formal and informal bid invitations to the Minority Business
Oppommity Committee (MBOC), local M/WBEs, and media organizations which request it. She
added that the Engineering Department has its own Web page which contains helpful information.
The disparity study also recommended that the city consider setting aside some smaller
commodities purchases for bidding only by small businesses. Dr. Gurley said staff agrees with that
recommendation since the City Attorney is unaware of any legal impediments to "small business"
set-asides. However, it will impact the Materials Management Department because it will take
between six months to one year to implement such a program.
Mayor Neal suggested that staff come back to the Council with specific estimates on the cost
of implementing agreed upon elements of the disparity study. Council Member John Longoria
discussed the importance of identifying small businesses so they can be notified of bid opportunities.
He said the city cannot control whether or not those small businesses respond to the bid invitations,
but at least they are aware of them.
Dr. Gurley said the study recommended the addition of staffto reach out to MiWBEs and
evaluate compliance with affirmative action policies; however, she noted, hiring a compliance officer
would cost approximately $36,000 a year for salary and benefits. Mr. Longoria said he was more
interested in being proactive and reaching out to M/WBEs than dealing with compliance issues at
this time. He added that the Council authorized funding through Community Development Block
Grants to pay for three MBOC staff members, one of whom is a temporary worker. Mr. Utter
confirmed that MBOC has two permanent employees and one temporary employee.
Dr. Gurley also discussed the recommendations concerning bonding and insurance
requirements, including that the city consider removing the insurance and bonding costs when
calculating the lowest bidder. She explained that the Texas Local Government Code requires that
a contract be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder. She added that the City Attorney does not
believe the bonding costs could be excluded where insurance and bonding are part of the
specifications. Mr. Escobar noted that Engineering Services conducts ongoing seminars about how
to do business with the city. Dr. Gurley then reviewed the recommendations regarding payments to
subcontractors.
Another one of the study recommendations was that the city adopt an anti-discrimination
ordinance making it illegal to discriminate on the basis of race, ethificity, or gender in public and
private contracting. Dr. Gurley said staff agrees with that recommendation so long as it does not
violate federal or state statutes. She added that the scope of such an ordinance would have to be
defmed and resources for stafftrainlng would have to be available. She said that recommendation
requires additional work by the consultants, which may take another 90 days.
Council Member Kinnison said he would not support the recommendation because there are
federal laws which address that issue. Mr. Escobar said FAA and HUD/CDBG projects already
23
Minutes
Regular Council Meeting
January 25, 2000
Page 24
contain anti-discrimination requirements. A brief discussion ensued and Dr. Guffey stated that she
thought the city should review its contracting programs after about a year and if the city receives a
number of complaints from small businesses that the city is not an equal oppommity contractor, then
the city can examine that issue further. Mr. Kinnison said he agreed that they should review the
situation for a year. Dr. Guffey pointed out that according to the study, the largest contracting
disparities occurred in the private sector.
The Human Relations Director also discussed the recommendations regarding adopting an
owner-conlxolled insurance policy program and a linked deposit program; utilizing the existing
preference for local businesses; and ensuring the accurate use of contract or purchase order
identification numbers.
Regarding race and gender-conscious measures, Dr. Gurley said the study recommended
adopting M/WBE availability estimates as the city's overall annual benchmark for M/WBE
participation, and continu'mg to set M/WBE participation benchmarks for individual construction
contracts and subcontracts. She said staff's response is that they need additional time to research
those recommendations (an additional 90 days). The Council concurred.
The disparity study also recommended that the city call at least three M/WBEs on all
purchases not subject to formal competitive bidding requirements. Dr. Gurley explained that the
Texas Local Government Code requires that a city contact at least two historically underutilized
businesses for expenditures between $3,000 and $15,000. Mr. Barrera, Acting Director of Materials
Management, said the city's policy is to require two verbal quotes for expenditures between $1,000
and $2,000, and written quotes for expenditures between $2,000 and $3,000. Mr. Escobar explained
the policy for public works projects. Mr. Longoria suggested that some of the study's
recommendations be incorporated into the MBOC program.
There were no comments from the audience. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for
their votes on the following motion (incorporating the Council's previous comments):
22. M2000-032
Motion approving staff recommendations on Disparity Study findings.
The foregoing motion passed by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero, Garrett, Gonzales,

Mayor Neal suggested that in conjunction with Item 23, the city should m-landscape and
improve the area at the entrance to the city on IH-37 where several civic organizations have placed
their signs.
Mayor Neal called for the City Manager's report. Mr. Garcia introduced Police Cmdr. Bryan
Smith, who was named the administrator of the Crime Control and Prevention District. Cmdr. Smith
told the Council that a Crime Control District meeting was held on January 19, 2000, and they
reviewed the budget process and discussed the increased involvement of the Budget Office. He noted
that the Crime Control District's budget process runs 30 days earlier than the city's, which he
explained. He said the board plans to extensively examine the district's budget during their February
16th meeting.
With regard to district projects, Cmdr. Smith said there are four Citizen Advisory Councils
in operation and the directed patrol program is proceeding. He added that there are 15 police officers
currently in the field as a result of the Crime Control District: I0 in the JET program, three directed
patrol officers, one drug dog officer, and one Campus Crime Stoppers officer. In addition, 15 officers
will graduate from the police academy on February 1 lth; 10 more are in the academy now and the
remaining 10 will start the academy in August 2001. Cmdr. Smith said he will provide the Council
with an executive summary after each Crime Control District meeting and he stated that the board
will be selecting a logo for the district soon.
Mr. Garcia announced that a leadership summit is being held March 3-4, 2000, in Austin. The
summit is being sponsored by the Texas Municipal League in conjunction with the Association of
Mayors, Councilmembers and Commissioners and the Texas City Management Association. Mayor
Neal called for Council concerns and reports.
Mr. Garrett referred to a letter from Mr. Isaac Martinez regarding dumpsters in the back of
his yard.
Mr. Longoria asked if the Council would agree to have the Park and Recreation Department
identify five possible sites for a skateboard park. Mr. Robert Bryan, a graduate student at Texas
A&M University-Corpus Christi, said he and other young people had attended the Council meeting
to show their support for exploring possibilities for a skateboard park. He said they would also like
25
Minutes

to recommend that the Council advise the Park Department to begin developing and conducting
programs to target sports such as skating, biking, and in-line hockey. Mayor Neal said the Council
supports the initiative of looking at sites. Mr. Longoria said that following an organi?~tional meeting
in February, the skating enthusiasts will bring back more information to the Council.
Mrs. Longoria said that a few weeks ago she met with Mr. Billy Parks, District Engineer of
the Texas Depa~mient of Transportation, regarding a $15 million project on Hwy. 77 north of
Robstown to FM 624. She asked if the Council needed to pass a resolution in support of that project.
Mayor Neal asked if the Metropolitan Planning Organization needed to approve a similar resolution.
Mr. Garcia replied that staff would review it and make a recommendation to the Council.
Mr. Scott pointed out that Ms. Sullivan will be leaving her position as the city's Finance
Director, and he thanked her for her efforts. Mr. Scott added that in light of their discussion that day
on the Economic Development Corporation and the Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Chamber
of Commerce is operating and planning their annual meeting next week. He also said he would like
staff to bring back some recommendations regarding offshore duck hunting.
Mr. Colmenero asked about a party that is planned for Corpus Christi Beach. Mr. Garcia
explained that an organi?ation holds a beach party in Galveston of over 100,000 people. He said the
City of Galveston has begun to restrict the administration of the party and the main promoter has a
contract to pay Galveston for the cost of holding the party. He said there is a small portion of that
event run by two promoters which was not very successful in Galveston last year--it only attracted
about 4,000 participants. Those promoters were unwilling to meet Galveston's requirements for
increased fees and they have approached the City of Corpus Christi for a permit to hold a party on
Corpus Christi Beach for between 2,000 to 4,000 people. He said the Park Department is negotiating
with the promoters but their event will not be nearly as large as the Galveston event.
There being no further business to come before the Council, Mayor Neal adjourned the
Council meeting at 7:40 p.m. on January 25, 2000.

SUBJECT: Acquisition of Parcel No. 34 by Condemnation
Spur 3, Phase 2 Improvements Project
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: See Exhibit "B."
OVERVIEW:
Backoround: When Corpus Christi State University became part of the Texas A&M
University (TAMU) system, the need to upgrade the access to the campus became
apparent. Through the efforts of a number of government and business leaders, the
route from South Padre Island Drive (SPID) to the TAMU-CC campus (Ennis Joslin
Road, Alameda Street and Ocean Drive) has been designated State Spur 3. The
Texas Dept. of Transportation (TxDOT) was authorized to proceed with the
preparation of plans and specifications for the project. In November, 1993, TxDOT
and the City executed an agreement whereby the City was responsible for acquisition
of right-of-way (ROW), relocation of conflicting utilities, and mitigation of
environmental concems. The State was responsible for preparation of the required
maps and descriptions necessary to acquire the ROW, prepare the plans and specs
for construction, and administer the construction contract. Water, sewer, gas,
electrical and telephone lines have been installed within a portion of the ROW in order
to upgrade utility service to the University in anticipation of future expansion.
Construction for Phase I of the project (Ocean Drive between the Alameda/Ocean
Drive intersection and TAMU-CC) has been completed.
Parcel: The subject parcel is located at the intersection of Ennis Joslin Road and
South Alameda. Parcel No. 34 is a fee simple whole taking (land and improvements)
acquisition. This parcel is being acquired for the Spur 3, Phase 2 street improve-
ments. Staff's settlement offer of $135,000 was rejected, and negotiations reached an
impasse. On October 12, 1999, Council authorized eminent domain proceedings. A
condemnation headng was held on January 20, 2000, and the Special Commissioners'
award was $207,600. The City will proceed with an appeal of the Special
Commissioners' award.
A map (showing the location of the property), a summary (showing the size of the
property), the appraised value, and the Special Commissioners' award are included
as Exhibits "C," "D," and "E." No title company is involved in this transaction.

Agenda Memorandum
Agenda Item:
Ordinance appropriating $9,817.75 from the Estate of L. Lloyd Sessions in the No. 6010 Trust
Fund - Museum Donations; authorizing the transfer of $9,817.75 to the Friends of the Corpus
Christi Museum of Science and History for the benefit of the Museum, and declaring an
emergency. ~.
Issue:
The City of Corpns Christi has received a $9,817.75 bequest from the Estate of L. Lloyd Sessions
"to be used for the benefit of the City's Museum". Consistent with previous City Council action,
all trust funds have been closed and contributions to the Museum are transferred to the Friends of
the Museum. The bequest of funds must be formally appropriated and transferred by the Council.
Background:
Contributions to the Museum are usually deposited to the Friends of the Museum. In accordance
with their By-Laws the Friends ..."promote and encourage interest in the Museum, and work in
close connection with the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History Director," and "solicit
capital funds, properties and specimens for the purposes of the Museum." The Friends established
the Corpus Christi Museum Foundation in the early 1970's for the long term investment of funds
contributed to the Museum. The present trustee of the Foundation is Wells Fargo Bank.
The Friends provide from $100,000 to $250,000 annually toward support of the Museum. Their
f'mancial activities are audited annually by an independent firm, most recently Fire and Wheeler. A
recent example ora project in which the Friends cooperated with the City is the acquisition and
installation of the Seeds of Change exhibit which cost $360,000. Of this amount $260,000 came
from the Friends and $100,000 came from City sources. A current project of the Friends is
Discovery Hall for which $1 million was given by Janet and Ed Harte and for which the Friends
have committed to raising an additional $500,000.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the transfer of the bequest from the Estate of L.
Lloyd Sessions to the Friends of the Museum.

-B. Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to submit such ordinance to the
Department of Housing and Urban Development for substantial equivalency and
enter into an Interim Agreement with HUD for the $115,000 funding package to
establish a substantially equivalent Fair Housing Program, beginning with this federal
funding cycle; and to include authorization for the City Manager to continue with the
preliminary agreement for up to a three year period and thereafter establish annual
HUD worksharing agreements.
ISSUE: The Housing and Urban Development has asked the City to make several
modifications to its present fair housing ordinance to meet eligibilky status for substantial
equivalency with the Federal Fair Housing Act, as amended in 1988.
BACKGROUND: On August 18, 1998, the Council passed Ordinance 023411
amending the Article III, Discrimination in Housing. Upon the passage of this ordinance,
the City sent an original copy to the Federal Housing and Urban Development in
Washington, D. C. to be reviewed by their general counsel. After several reviews, and
many telephone calls, HUD's General Counsel has approved the enclosed ordinance with
noted changes. The substance of the ordinance is not changed.
The proposed changes are necessary to allow the City to enter into a work share
relationship with the Housing and Urban Development, and to receive $115,000 each
year, for up to three years, beginning with the Federal government's present funding
cycle.
These funds can be used in the development of the City's Fair Housing Program, which
includes external and internal training materials, providing training and travel for
staff/attorneys, and development of forms and procedures to establish an on-going Fair
Housing Program. Additionally, the funds will offset expenses related to necessary
stalTmg needs (i.e.: Office Assistant I, Grade 12 - clerical support for expanded
workload), office supplies and equipment.
60
After three years of building a "substantially equivalent" Fair Homing Pmgrarm the
Homing and Urban Development will continue its relationship with the City by entering
into annual HUD agreemems, similar to that presently utilized between the City and
EEOC. The benefit of the annual agreements would be establishment of a new revenue
source for the City's General Fund. The City would be reimbursed up to $1,750 for each
housing discrimination case resolution completed during the previous fiscal year. HUD
will also provide an annual administrative fee to the City, as well.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Council approval is required before the requested
chaages can be made to the Ordinance and a Motion authorizing the City Manager or his
designee to enter into an Interim Agreement and later, on-going annual worksharing
agreemems with HIJD.
FUNDING: The Ordinance does not require funding.
RECOMMENDATION:
motion as listed above.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMORANDUM
January 20, 2000
Subject~. Zoning Ordinance text amendment to the Definition Section, "B-3" Business District
and "B-4" General Business District - Farmers Market.
Agenda Item: First Reading - Amending the Zoning Ordinance by defining farmers market
and farmers market retail sales area and allowing the farmers market retail sales area in "B-3"
Business Districts and "B-4" General Business Districts; amending the Comprehensive Plan to
account for any deviations from the existing comprehensive Plan; providing for severance;
and providing for publication.
Requested council Action: First Reading. Approval of Zoning Ordinance text amendment
by revising Article 3. Definitions, Article 15. "B-3" Business District and Article 16. "B-4" General
Business District by providing for definitions and uses pertaining to farmers markets and
farmers market retail sales areas.
Staff's Recommendation (1/19/00): Approval as proposed.
Planning Commission's Recommendation (1/19/00): Approval with one exception that no
parking be required for the farmers market as an accessory use.
Issue: TO provide for unenclosed farmers market uses within the "B-3" and "B-4" Business
Districts tO further promote economic growth within the citY. With these amendments,
development of unenclosed farmers market uses within business districts are made possible,
which will allow farmers and consumers to experie, ,ce an alternative marketing strategy in
selling and buying fresh produce.
Prior council Action: In November 1999, City council directed Staff to review the farmers
market use and recommend amendments to the Zoning Ordinance that would allow the use
in additional zoning classifications, while defining its parameters. With this direction in
mind, Staff developed definitions for the farmers market with standards established and
provided for its inclusion within two high density business districts as an unenclosed use.
Prior Planning Commission Action: On January 19, 2000, the Planning Commission held the
required public hearing, and after reviewing the proposed zoning ordinance amendment,
they recommended approval with one exception that there be no required parking for the
farmers market as an accessory use to a shopping center.
Background: City council directed staff to consider amending the Zoning Ordinance to
allow for development of unenclosed farmers market uses within the "B-3" and "B-4" Business
Districts. This directive stemmed from City council concerns in allowing the continuation of
an existing farmers market in a shopping center on Everhart Road and establishment of
future unenclosed farmers markets. The CitY of Corpus Christi's Zoning Ordinance allows for
both enclosed/unenclosed farmers market uses as a permitted use in the "1-2" and "1-3"
Industrial Districts. This use can be also allowed as a promotional event in general
commercial districts. Only enclosed farmers market uses are permitted in all business
districts, the "BD" Beach District and all industrial districts.
7o
Agenda Memorandum
January 20, 2000
Page 2
After staff review of the farmers market use and associated state codes, such use was
considered acceptable within the 'B-3~ and "B-4" Business Districts With appropriate
guidelines. The aB-3' and "B-4" Business Districts allow for all types of commercial and service
activities in a high-densiW environment. Regulations designed for the unenclosed farmers
market use defines the use as an "accessory use to a shopping center, whereby fresh fruit
and vegetables are sold." The market must be certified by the Texas Department of
Agriculture and comply with all local, state, and federal laws. The use must abide by the
setback regulation of the "B-3" and ~B-4' Districts by providing a minimum 2C~foot front yard
setback. Compliance to the parking regulations, based on the area of the farmers market,
must be met at a ratio of one (1) parking space per 220 square feet of use area. Accessory
uses are currently allowed in shopping centers provided they comply with the City's required
number of parking spaces based on the gross retail floor area. The same parking
requirement is recommended for farmers markets as an accessory use.
The Planning Commission, on a six to three vote, recommended that the proposed ordinance
be amended to eliminate additional parking requirements for farmers markets since they
are allowed as accessory uses only. The Commission considered the parking requirement an
obstacle to establishing future farmers markets, s~ff advised the commissioners that some
shopping centers have excess parking that can accommodate accessory uses. If a shopping
center has only the required number of spaces per the ordinance, then the addition of an
accessory use without a commensurate increase in parking would adversely impact the
shopping center's abiliW to accommodate its patrons, especially during peak seasons
(Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc.) The end result of insufficient parking is more traffic
congestion on arterial and neighborhood streets. One commissioner voiced a minority
opinion that the City should continue to require parking for accessory uses and provide for
separation of the building from the primary use.
Additionally, the farmers market must be unenclosed within a permanent roofed structure.
Such roof structure must comply with the building code. Restroom facilities for employees
and customers are to be provided in the shopping center to which the farmers market is an
accessory. The restroom facility must comply with the plumbing code and be within 300 feet
of the farmers market retail area. Portable restrooms are not allowed.
¢on¢l-$ion: The proposed amendments to the ~B-3~ and "B-4" Districts to include unenclosed
farmers market uses as an accessory use are complementary to the districts and shopping
centers. These amendments illustrate support in furthering the economic future of the city.

located on the north side of McArdle Road, approximately 400 feet west of Shopping Way.
Planning Commission and Staff's Recommendation: Approval.of the "B-4" District.
Requested Council Action: Approval of the "B-4" District and adoption of the attached ordinance.
Purpose of Request: For Regional Transportation Authority terminal.
Summary: The applicant has requested a change of zoning to a "B.4" General Business District in order to develop
the subject property with a transfer station for the Regional Transit Authority (RTA). As a governmental facility, a
minimum of a "B-3" Business or "B~4" District is required. This transfer station will operate similarly to stations
located at Staples Street and Port]Ayers. Access to the subject property will be from a collector street, McArdle
Road, which also serves as an access point for the shopping mall located across the street from the subject property.
It is proposed that the buses would enter the subject property, turn around, exit, and head east to S. Staples Street.
Bases will not be traveling west on McArdle Road. The requested "B-4" District is an expansion of the adjacent
"B-4" District to the north and south. This "B-4" District continues north and south along S. Staples Street and east
and west along South Padre Island Drive, which is one block south of the subject property. Permitted "B-4" District
ases would not adversely impact the area, especially since the majority of the surcounding area is already zoned a
"B-4" District. The Southeast Area Development Plan adopted future land use map recommends the area to develop
with general commercial uses. The requested "B-4" District is consistent with the Plan's recommended land use.
Applicant's Position: The applicant concurs with Staffand Planning Commission's recommendation.
Notification: Prior to the date of this memorandum, six (6) notices were mailed to the property owners within a
200-foot radius, of which one (I) was returned in favor and none were returned in opposition.

Zon/ng Report
Case No. 0100-0I (Roy Smith and W. M. Bevly)
Page 3
Planning Staff Analysis:
General Characteristics and Back~round: The applicant has requested a change of zoning
to a "B-4" General Business District in order to develop the subject property with a transfer
station for the Regional Transit Authority (RTA). As a government facility, a minimum of
a "B-3" Business or "B-4" District is required. This transfer station will operate similarly
to stations located at Staples Street and Port/Ayers. Access to the subject property will be
from a collector street, McArdle Road, which also serves as an access point for the shopping
mall located across the street from the subject property. The requested "B4" District is an
expansion of the adjacent "B-4" District to the north and south. This "B4" District
continues north and south along S. Staples Street and east and west along South Padre Island
Drive, which is one block south of the subject property. Permitted "B4" District uses would
not adversely impact the area, especially since the majority of the surrounding area is already
zoned a "B-4" District.
Conformity to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Compatibility: Overall, the
Comprehensive Plan Elements can support the requested "B4" Distr/ct. The Southeast Area
Development Plan's adopted future land use map recommends the area to develop with
general commemial uses. The requested "B4" District is consistent with the Plan's adopted
future land use map.
Potential Housine Density: Both the "AB" and "B-4" Districts permit a density of 36.30
dwelling units per acre or 85 dwelling units on the subject property. The change in zoning
will not affect the allowable residential development.
Height/Bulk/Setbacks/Etc.: Both the "AB" and "B-4" Districts require a front yard setback
of not less than twenty (20) feet, with side and rear yard setbacks often (10) feet each in the
"AB" District. There are no side or rear yard setbacks required in the "B-4" District unless
adjacent to a residential district where a setback often (I0) feet would be required. An "AB"
District limits building height to 45 feet not to exceed three (3) stories. The "B4" District
does not have any height limitations.
Si~naee: An "AB" District permits one wall sign not to exceed an area of twenty (20) square
feet. With Planning Commission approval, a freestanding sign with a height of 15 feet may
be permitted in lieu of the wall sign. The "B-4" District permits unlimited wall and
freestanding signs when located behind the front yard setback. Freestanding signs within the
front yard setback are limited to one sign per street frontage with an area of forty (40) square
feet and a height of 25 feet.
Traffic: The proposed bus transfer station will have direct access to an arterial without
traversing a residential area. Most of the buses accessing the site would be coming from the
east, S. Staples Street. Therefore, the proposed bus transfer station would adversely impact
the surrounding area.
86
Zoning Repor~
Case No. 0100-01 (Roy Smith and W. M. Bevly)
Page 4
Parking/Screening: Since the proposed use is a bus transfer station, off-street parking is not
required. A standard screening fence with a height of not less than six (6) feet is required
when a business or industrial use locates adjacent to a residential district. Since the subject
property does not have any residential adjacency, a screening fence will not be required.
Pros:
a)
b)
c)
Cons:
a) None.
Staff Recommendation:
Attachments:
Costs to City: All of the infrastructure, including streets, required to serve the propose use
is in place and no costs to the City are anticipated.
Plat'tine: The subject property is part of a larger tract of land that is platted and further
replatting is not required.
(Ideas in support of the request.)
The requested "B-4" District is an expansion of the adjacent "B-4" District to the north and
south.
The requested "B-4" District and proposed use are consistent with the adopted Southeast
Area Development Plan.
The bus transfer station will provide improved accessibility and safety to the bus-riders.
(Ideas in support of maintaining the current zoning.)
Approval.

REUQEST:
"AB" Professional Office District to "B-4" General Business District on Kings Square
Addition. being the north 2.36 acres out of Lot 7A and located on the north side of
McArdle Road, approximately 400 feet west of Shopping Way
Mr. Payne presented a slide illustration of the subject property, and the surrounding area. The surrounding
area to the north and south is zoned "B-4" General Business District and developed with a regional mall. A portion
has not been developed. The surrounding area to the east and west is zoned "AB" Professional Office District and
developed with a parking lot and apartments.
Mr. Payne stated that the applicant requested a change of zoning to develop the subject property with a
transfer station for the Regional Transit Authority (RTA). A "B-3" Business District or "B4" Business District is
required for a governmental building or facility. The transfer station will operate similarly to stations located at
Staples Street and Port/Ayers Street. Access to the subject property will be from an medal street, McArdle Road,
which also serves as an access point for the shopping mall located across the street from the subject property. The
requested "B-4" District is an expansion of the adjacent "B4" Disu'ict to the north and south. Permitted "B-4"
District uses would not adversely impact the area, especially since the majority of the surrounding area is already
zoned a "B-4" District.
The subject property is within the Southeast Area Development Plan which recommends the area to
develop with general commercial uses. Mr. Payne read the Pros and Cons contained in the Zoning Report (Copy on
File) and stated that Staffrecommends approval of the requested zoning change.
Vice Chairman Noyola opened the public hearing.
Ramey Beene, representative for the applicant, stated that the applicants were in favor of the rezoning
request.
Linda Watson, RTA representative, 5658 Bear Lane, answered Commissioner Sween-McGloin's question
regarding construction on the property by stating that a consultant was hired to review the site. The consultant
produced a rendering of the property, however, the rendering did not provide details of the end result of the
properly. Ms. Watson informed the Commission that the RTA will be receiving bids from designer and engineers in
the near future and the facility wilI be similar to the Staples Street Station. The construction of the facility on the
subject property will remove two bus stops between McArdle and South Padre Island Drive.
In response to the Commission, Ms. Watson stated that the station will provide transportation for
approximately 2,000 passengers per day. There are seven (7) bus mutes that service the area of which 19% of the
passengers will transfer due to shopping or jobs.
Public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Berlanga expressed concern with the maintenance of the roads that the buses travel on a
daily basis.
Commissioner Underbrink expressed concern over the location of the transfer station across the street from
Padre Staples Mall. He expressed concerns regarding the safety of pedestrians crossing McArdle at a mid-block
location. Commissioner Mims expressed similar concerns with the increase in pedestrian crossing McArdle and
suggested that a traffic signal at the site would be located too closed to the signal at Shopper's Way Drive.
Motion by Sween-McGloin, seconded by Berlanga, m reopen the public hearing. Motion passed
unanimously.

Zoning Report
Case No. 0100-02 (The Joslin Partnership)
Page 3
In December 1996, Lots 2, 3, 4, and 5, located on the north side of South Padre Island Drive and on
the east side of Ennis Joslin Road and east of the subject property, were granted a change of zoning
from "R-IB" District to "A-2" District on Lot 2 for aparanents and "B4" District on Lots 3, 4 and
5 for commercial development.
Zoning Inventor~:
The subject property is part of an area zoned a "R-IB" District containing 3,220 acres of which a
major portion is in the Cayo Del Oso. The remaining portion remains undeveloped. Adjacent to the
south and east, there are approximately 100 acres of land zoned a "B-4" District that extends along
both sides of South Padre Island Drive. This "B4" DisU'ict remains predominantly undeveloped
with the exception of a convenience store to the east and a bait shop and boat sales to the west.
Further west of the subject property, there is an 18.85-acre tract of land zoned an "A-2" District and
developed with apartments.
Planning Staff Analysis:
General Characteristics and Background: The applicant has requested a change of zoning
to a "B-4" General Business District in order to develop the subject property with a
convenience store with fuel sales and a fast-food restaurant. This proposed development is
consistent with the development pattern occurring at the intersection of an exj~ressway and
an arterial, similar to the development located across Eunis Joslin Road to the east. Access
to the subject property would be from an arterial, Ennis Joslin Road, and an expressway,
South Padre Island Drive, frontage road. Traffic will not be traversing a residential area to
reach the subject property. Approval of the requested "B4" District would be an expansion
of the adjacent "B-4" District to the east.
Conformity to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Compatibility: Overall, the
Comprehensive Plan Elements can be supportive of the requested "B-4" District. The
Southeast Area Development Plan's adopted future land use map recommends the area to
develop with general commercial uses. The requested "B4" District and proposed use are
consistent with the Plan's recommended land use.
Potential Housing Density: A "R-lB" District permits a density of 7.26 dwelling units per
acre or ten (10) units on the subject property. The "B4" District permits a density of 36.30
dwelling Units per acre or 54 units on the subject property. With direct access to an arterial
and a freeway, the increased in density will not adversely impact the surrounding area.
Height/Bulk/Setbacks/Etc.: A "R-lB" District requires a fi.om yard setback of 25 feet with
a side and rear yard setback of five (5) feet each. The "B-4" District requires a front yard
setback of twenty (20) feet with no side or rear yard setback required un/ess adjacent to a
residential district where a setback often (10) feet would be required. Since the subject
lOO
Zoning Report
Case No. 0100-02 (The Joslin Parmership)
Page 4
property abuts a residential district along its west boundary, a setback often (10) feet will
be required along boundary line. Buildings in a "R-lB" District are limited to 35 feet not
to exceed three (3) stories. There are no building height limitations in the "B4" District.
Signage: Signs in the "R-lB" District are limited to one wall sign not to exceed an area of
one square foot. The "B-4" District permits unlimited wall and freestanding signs when
located behind the front yard setback. Freestanding signs'within the front yard setback are
limited to one sign per street frontage with an area of forty (40) square feet and a height of
25 feet.
Traffic: The proposed convenience store with fueling pumps and fast-food restaurant would
generate approximately 250 daily trip ends during the morning peak hour. This traffic would
be accessing an arterial, Ennis Joslin Road which is carrying 13,150 vehicles per day, and
an expressway, South Padre Island Drive. Therefore, the potential increase in traffic would
not adversely impact the area.
Parking/Screening: A convenience store is required to provide off-street parking at a rate of
one parking space for each 200 square feet of floor area. The restaurant is required to
provide one parking space for 100 square feet of gross floor area. Compliance with the
parking regulations will be required during the permitting phase. A standard screening fence
with a height of not less than six (6) feet is required when a business or industrial use locates
adjacent to a residential district. Since the subject property has residential adjacency, a
screening fence will be required along the west property line.
Costs to City: Water and wastewater services are available to serve the needs of the subject
property. Ennis Joslin Road is not improved to its ultimate pavement width. The
improvement of Ennis Joslin Road will be for the most the responsibility of the City.
Platting: The subject property, is a portion of a larger lot and the property must be platted
before a building permit can be issued. A plat has been submitted to the City for review and
approval.
Pros: (Ideas in support of the request.)
a) The subject property has direct access to an arterial and an expressway.
b)
The requested "B-4" District would be an extension of the adjacent "B--4" District to the
south and east.
c)
The requested "B-4" District is consistent with the adopted Southeast Area Development
Plan's recommended land use.
Cons: (Ideas in support of maintaining the current zoning.)
a) None.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
PUBLIC HEARING - ZONING (City Council Action Date: February 8, 2000)
Case No. 0100-03, Town Market: A change of zoning fxom an "R-2" Multiple Dwelling District to a
"B-I" Neighborhood Business District on L. A. Barrett, Block 1, being the west 0.30 acre out of Lot I, located on
the northeast comer of Colonial Court and Old Robstown Road.
Planning Commission and Staff's Recommendation: Approvalgfthe "B-I" District.
Requested Council Action: Approval of the "B-I" District and adoption of the attached ordinance.
Purpose of Request: Expansion of convenience store.
Summarg: The applicant has requested a change of zoning to a "B-I" Neighborhood Business District in order to
expand the existing nonconforming convenience store and fuel sales use. The proposed expansion would add 1,125
square feet to the existing 1,215 square foot store. Orientation of the building is toward Old Robstown Road, an
arterial The subject property is located on the southeast comer of a local street, Colonial Court, and Old Robstown
Road. Multiple-family residences are adjacent to the east. A retail center, zoned a "B-4' General Business District,
is adjacent to the north. West of the subject property and across Old Brownsville Road, there is an apartment
complex. Further east of the subject property along Colonial Court, the area is developed predominantly with
duplexes and single-family residences. Given the subject property's direct access to an arterial, and proximity of
"B-4" commercial properties to the north, and the fact that the convenience store and fuel sales is already an
established use, a "B-I' District would be appropriate and provide a transition between the more intense "B-4'
District and the residences on the south. The Westside Area Development Plan's adopted future land use map
recommends the Old Brownsville Road frontage, north of Colonial Court to develop with general commercial uses.
As requested, the "B-I" District is consistent with the Plan's recommended land use.
Applicant's Position: The applicant concurs with Staffand Planning Commission's recommendation.
Notification: Prior to the date of this memorandum, thirteen (13) notices were mailed to the property owners within
a 200-foot radius, of which none were returned in favor or in opposition.

Zoning Inventory:
The subject property is part of a 6.83-acre tract of land zoned a "R-2" District that is developed with
a mixture of single-family residences and duplexes. There is a 1.1 l-acre tract of land also zoned a
"R-2" District and developed with a single-family residence. North of the subject property, there
is an 85.08-acre tract of land zoned a "B-4" District predominantly developed with retail
establishments, some multiple-family complexes and offices. West of the subject property, there are
2 tracts, of which one is a 1.97-acre tract zoned an "A-2/SP" and developed with a mobile home
park. The other tract contains 2.21 acres and is developed with a parking arem Adjacent to the south
of the subject property, the area is zoned a "R-lB" District and predominantly developed with
single-family uses.
Planning Staff Analysis:
General Characteristics and Background: The applicant has requested a change of zoning
to a "B-I" Neighborhood Business District in order to expand the existing nonconforming
convenience store and fuel sales use. The proposed expansion would add 1,125 square feet
to the existing 1,215 square foot store. Orientation of the building is toward Old Robstown
Road, an arterial. This section of Old Robstown Road is currently constructed within a 50-
foot and a 60-foot right-of-way with a marginal access street on the east side between
Colonial Court and Kenwood Drive.
The subject property is located on the southeast comer of a local street, Colonial Court, and
Old Robstown Road. Multiple-family residences are adjacent to the east. A retail center,
zoned a "B-4" General Business District, is adjacent to the north. West of the subject
property and across Old Brownsville Road, there is an apartment complex. Further east of
the subject property along Colonial Court, the area is developed predominantly with
duplexes and single-family residences. Given the subject property's direct access to an
arterial, and proximity of "B-4" commercial properties to the north, and the fact that the
convenience store and fuel sales is already an established use, a "B-I' District would be
appropriate and provide a transition between the more intense "B-4" District and the
residences on the south.
Conformitw to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Compatibility: Overall the
Comprehensive Plan Elements can be supportive of the requested "B-I" District as
transitional district between the "B-4" District to the north and the "R-1B" District to the
south. The Westside Area Development Plan's adopted future land use map recommends
the area to develop with Iow density residential south of Colonial Court and general
commercial uses north of Colonial Court. The requested "B-I" District is not consistent with
the Plan's recommended land use.
Zoning Report
Ca~e No. 0100-03 (Town Markeu
Page 4
Potential Housine Density: As a "R-2" District, the subject property can develop with a
density of 14.52 dwelling units per acre or 4 dwelling units. A "B-I" District permits a
density of 36.30 dwelling units per acre or 10 units on the subject property.
Height/Bulk/Setbacks/Etc.: An "R-2" District requires a front yard setback of twenty (20)
feet and a side and rear yard setback of five (5) each for single-family and duplex uses.
Multiple-family development would require a front yard s~tback of twenty (20) feet and a
side and rear yard setback often (10) feet each for one story structure plus an additional five
(5) feet for each additional story. The "B-I" District requires a from yard setback of twenty
(20) feet and no side or rear yard setbacks unless adjacent to a residential district where a
setback often (10) feet would be required. Building heights in the "R-2" and "B-I" Districts
are limited to three (3) stories with the "R-2" District allowing 45 feet and the "B-I" District
allowing 35 feet. Development of a commercial establishment on the subject property would
require a setback often (10) feet from its east property line and a setback of twenty (20) feet
from its south and west property lines.
Signage: A "R-2" District permits one wall sign not to exceed one square foot. Wall signs
in the "B-I" District are unlimited. Freestanding signs are limited to one sign per premise
with an area of forty (40) square feet and a height of twenty (20) feet.
Traffic: The existing development with its expansion could generate approximately 167
daily trip ends, morning peak hour. With Old Robstown Road carrying 9,820 vehicles per
day, this increase in traffic would be minimal provided the traffic did not access Colonial
Court. Colonial Court is not a fully improved roadway and should not carry commercial
traffic. The existing convenience store draws traffic from the residential area to the south.
Parking/Screenine: A retait establishment is required to provide one parking space for every
200 square feet of gross floor area. Proof of compliance with the parking regulations will
be required before a certificate of occupancy will issued. A standard screening fence with
a height of six (6) feet must be provided when a business or industrial use locates adjacent
to a residential district. A screening fence will be required along the east property line of the
subject property.
Costs to City: Water and wastewater services are available to the subject property. If
Colonial Court is improved to its planned width, participation from the City and property
owner may be required.
Platting: The subject property is a portion of a larger lot and Mil be required to replat before
a building permit is issued.
Pros: (Ideas in support of the request.)
a)
The subject property has direct access to an arterial, Old Brownsville Road.
115
Zoning Report
Case No. 01004)3 (Town Market)
Page 5
b)
The requested "B-I" District would act as a transitional zoning between the general
commercial use to the north and the low density residential to the south.
c)
A "B- 1" District is consistent with the current convenience store/fuel sale use that has been
well established in the neighborhood.
Cons: (Ideas in support of maintaining the current zoning.)
a) The subject property has direct access to a residential street that has not been fully improved.
b)
The requested "B-1" District is not entirely consistent with the Westside Area Development
Plan's recommended land use.
c) Old Brownsville Road has not been improved to a full arterial street section at this location.
Staff Recommendation:
Approval.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
Februar~ 3r 2000
AGENDA ITEM: Motion authorizing the City Manager or designee to execute an
agreement with the Corpus Chdsid Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) whereby the CVB
will promote convention and visitor activity in the Corpus. Christi Bay area for annual
payment based on the level of hotel/motel tax receipts. The term of the agreement is
.lanuary 1, 2000 thru 3uly 31, 2005.
[SSUE: The reorganization of the Business Alliance has resulted in the establishment
of an autonomous entity which will promote convention and visitor activity in the Corpus
Christi area. The City of Corpus Christi will contract with the CVB for its services.
BACKGROUND:
In 3uly of 1999, the Chairperson of the Greater Corpus Christi Business Alliance appointed
a 10-member task force to make recommendations on possible reorganization of the
Alliance. After several meetings and substantial input from its members and the
community, the task force recommended to the Alliance Board that the organization be
structured into three autonomous entities: Convention and Visitors Bureau, Economic
Development Corporation and the Chamber of Commerce.
The Chairperson of the Alliance presented the task force's recommendation to the City
Council at a 3oint Meeting on November 9, 1999. After considerable discussion by both
entities on the reorganization timetable and Board appointment process, the City Council
accepted the recommendations and appointed Coundl Members Betty 3ean Longoda,
Henry Garrett and 3avier Colmenero to the CVB Interim Board. The Intedm Board was
charged with the implementation plan and met to formulate operating policies as well as
the make-up of the permanent CV8 Board. The Intedm Board's recommendations were
presented to Council on December 21, 1999. After receiving Coundl input at the December
21st Meeting, the Interim Board revised the agreement accordingly. The revised
agreement was presented to the City Council at the January 25, 2000 meeting.
At the 3anuary 25, 2000 Meeting, Council Members suggested that additional changes be
made to the proposed agreement in the following areas: term limits, Council approval of
changes to CVB bylaws, clarification that 2-cent increase in hotel/motel tax is not included
in contract and removal of language regarding specific geographic representation on the
permanent CVB Board. These changes were approved by the CVB Interim Board on
February 3, 2000 and are incorporated in the revised agreement presented to Council on
February 8, 2000. ('See agreement summary/ncluded in Additiona/ Background

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
ADDZTZONAL BACKGROUND ZNFORMATZON
Formation of Business Alliance
On October 19, 1993, members of the Chamber of Commerce, Economic Development
Corporation and the Convention and Visitors Bureau presented the Corpus Christi City
Council with their plan to consolidate their organizations under a single proposed
organization which eventually became the Greater Corpus Chdsti Business Alliance.
The Chairmen of the Corpus Chd~ Bay Area Economic Development Corpo~tion, Chamber
of Commerce and the Convention and Visitors Bureau felt that the talents and resources
of the business community should be united under one organization to develop a long-
range vision and provide a method to fulfill that vision. The recommendation was
supported in part by a February 1993 study by KPMG that reviewed the feasibility of
consolidating the three entities.
The City Coundl endorsed the concept on October 19, 1993 by adopting Motion M93-306
which "supported the proposed consolidation of the Chamber of Commerce, Economic
Development Corporation and Convention and Visitors Bureau."
Since that date, funding for the Alliance has been provided annually by the City.
Proposed Reorqanization of Business Alliance
Subsequent to the November 9, 1999 .]oint Meeting of the City Council and Alliance Task
Force, the CVB Interim Board met and formulated recommendations. On December 21,
1999, CVB Int~'im Board Chairmen Bill Pruett provided the City Council with an update on
· the Intedm Board's findings. Mr. Pruett highlighted CVB activities and presented the
Council with the Board recommendation that a 15 member permanent CVB Board be
created. After discussion on the make-up of the Board, the Council directed City Staff to
work with the Interim Board on a revised Board structure. The revised Board structure
included in the proposed contract is as follows:
Three (3) members from
Two (2) members from

the City under this Agreement. Contractor must maintain revenue provided under this
Agreement in a separate account established for that purpose and may not commingle that

produced as well as a description of direct mailings, and similar information. The performance
report shall include, but not be limited to, the following measure of activity: (1) number of sales
calls, personal and telephone, number of site inspections and number of trade shows attended;
(2) number of convention bookings, delegates, and room nights booked during the fiscal year;
(3) number of visitor registrations at visitor information centers; (4) actual lodging tax generated

attractions or be responsible for attendance figures at any particular attraction).
Bond. The officers and employees of Contractor designated to withdraw funds fi:om the
convention and visitor fund shall be covered by a blanket fidelity bond in a penal sum of
$100,000. Such bond shall be provided by Contractor issued by a corporate surety designating
Contractor as named insured, and in such form as to be approved by the City Attorney.
Compensation. The City agrees that for the convention and visitor services performed by
Contractor the City shall pay annually to Contractor the sum of $1,625,000 (the "Base
Amount"). Provided, however, that should hotel/motel tax receipts to the City for the twelve
months ending March 31 in any year fall below $3,200,000, the Base Amount for the following
fiscal year shall be renegotiated. In the event the City's hotel/motel tax receipts exceed
$3,200,000 for the same period, the City agrees to pay a performance bonus equal to twenty-five
percent (25%) of the amount of tax in excess of $3,200,000 up to but not exceeding $5,000,000.
If hotel/motel tax receipts to the City in any year ending March 31 exceed $5,000,000, the bonus
amount shall be renegotiated. [Each of the above amounts shall be calculated based upon the
amount of hotel/motel tax receipts excluding the two percent increase adopted in 1999 for
convention center expansion.] Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City shall be authorized to
deduct from the above funding to Contractor such sums as are necessary to pay the debt service
on a $2,910,000 portion of the City's combination tax and municipal hotel occupancy tax
revenue certificates of obligation expended for the location and development of the Las
Carabelas Columbus Fleet as a museum display adjacent to the Corpus Christi Museum of
Science and History. Said deductions must be made only in the event the Las Carabelas
Columbus Fleet Association fails to make its lease payments when due in an amount equal to
cover such debt service obligation pursuant to the terms of the lease agreement in effect between
said Association and the City and insufficient funds are available in the debt service reserve fund
for such certificates to cover such payment. The City reserves the right to off-set up to the entire
amount of any payment from the City to Contractor under this Agreement as may be necessary
to cover such obligation, and in the event additional funds are required to cover such payment,
the Contractor agrees to pay such fimds to the City within five (5) days. Provided, further,
Contractor assures the City that the City shall not be liable for any operating deficit incurred by
said Association in operating the Columbus Fleet nor shall the Association seek funding fi:om
the City for any such operating deficit. Contractor's obligations under this provision are
expressly subject to (a) the continued appropriation by the City each year of hotel/motel tax
4
132
funds for Contractor in an amount at least equal to the formula provided under this Agreement,
and Co) the continuation of the offer on the part of the City to lease to Las Carabelas Columbus
Fleet Association the area adjacent of the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History on the
same or similar terms as authorized by the City Council on December 20, 1994. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, Contractor's obligations concerning Las Carabelas Columbus
Fleet Association and the above-described bonds are not a general liability of the corporation but
are solely payable out of the revenues received fi.om the City into Contractor's convention and
visitor fund.
Installments. During the term of this Agreement, the City shall pay to Contractor a sum equal
to one-twelfth of the total annual amount payable to Contractor for the convention and visitor
services herein engaged on or about the first of each month; provided however, the City Manager

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Convention Center Expansion and Rehabilitation - Project No. 4198
~ House Bill 1655, requested by the City of Corpus Chdsti, was signed in
1999 by Govemor Bush. It authorized a two percent (2%) increase in the City of Corpus
Christi's Hotel/Motel Tax for expansion/renovation and maintenance of the Convention
Center. The City Council adopted the new, higher Hotel/Motel Tax Rate by ordinance to
provide the required revenue for this project. The increase has been actively supported
by the local business community, including the local hotel/motel industry.
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: ~ - Ordinance increasing the Hotel-Motel
Occupancy Tax Rate from 7% to 9% (Ord. No. 023684).
FUTURE COUNCIL ACTIONS:
Approval of a future reimbursement resolution when the project is more fully
developed and the costs mom fully known.
Award of contract for design services associated with the Convention Center
Expansion and Rehabilitation project.
Award of geotechnical, materials testing, inspection and construction, laboratory
services.
Amendment of the project management services for construction phase services.
Award of construction contract for the Convention Center Expansion and
Rehabilitation project.
PROJECI~CRIPTIOJ~I; The project consists of several phases. The first phase will be
a needs assessment to define project scope, including alternative conceptual designs.
Project management services will begin during the needs assessment and continue
through the design, construction and project closeout phases.
The design phase is scheduled to begin after the completion of the needs assessment.
The design phase will provide for the development and refinement of the conceptual
design. Refinement and revision of the conceptual design will occur during the detailed
design phase. The design services consultant will prepare plans, specifications, and
contract and bid documents necessary to award a construction contract.
Needs Assessment: The needs assessment phase will assess facility needs,
demand and financial capability of the City. It will include an analysis of the financial
capacity necessary to complete the needed improvements and alternative methods
of meeting those needs. The needs consultant will help the City define the
expansion and rehabilitation needs of the Convention Center. The consultant will

I EXHIBIT "A" I
Page 1 of 3
also provide identification of potential user profiles and estimate utilization potential
in terms of type of event and activity, number of days per event and activity, and
average attendance.
The needs assessment report will address all major components affecting the
expansion. This will include parking, traffic, land acquisition needs, rehabilitation
of the existing facility, scheduling to assure continued operation, and other facilities
(existing and proposed) in the Bayfront Arts and Sciences Park. One of the facilities
that will be specifically addressed is the proposed multi-purpose Arena.
The Arena is I!kely to have a large impact on the Convention Center in that it
complicates parking, circulation and development issues. However, it can also
potentially be used for Convention Center meetings, exhibits, trade shows, breakout
areas, dances, banquets, community events, etc. A portion of the Arena needs
assessment is required for the Convention Center expansion. After evaluation, it
was determined that the Arena's proposed site location, footprint, and conceptual
space layout were needed to complete the Convention Center study. These
elements represent approximately 50%, or $24,000, of the total proposed fee of
$48,000 for the Arena needs assessment.
The contract summary is attached. (See Exhibit B-1.)
Project Management: The project management firm will be involved in the review
and validation of the needs assessment report and will also provide assistance
during the selection process for the design consultant. This firm will provide design
review throughout the design process to optimize the constructability of the project.
The project management consultant will also update and refine construction cost
estimates throughout the design process. This will help ensure that the City is able
to award a construction contract within budget that meets the needs of the City.
Construction phase services will be addressed as an amendment to the contract.
This will allow a better definition of the scope and duration of the required services.
The contract summary is attached. (See Exhibit B-2.)
C · The City utilized a formal Request for Proposals (RFP) for
Needs Assessment and Project Management Services. City staff worked closely with the
ad-hoc advisory committee appointed by Council in all phases of the selection process.
Needs Assessment: Four firms responded to the RFP for needs assessment
services. See Exhibit C-1. The firm of PKF Consulting (Houston, TX) was deemed
by staff and the committee to offer the most complete project approach. The team
members who will be directly assigned to the project are highly experienced with
needs assessment for convention center expansions. Their work includes the full
array of market analysis and comparable facilities. They also possess significant
experience with sports arenas and the hospitality/hotel industry.

Beverage Code. Basically, if restaurants are allowed in any zoning district and are
permitted to sell alcohol then all restaurants must be allowed the same option. The
State has sole authority to regulate the sale of alcoholic beverages, except for
authority expressly granted to cities in the State Alcoholic Beverage Code.
Staff advised the Planning Commission on February 2, 20,00 of Legal Department's
opinion and conducted a public hearing to consider changes to the proposed "B-lA"
District, Section 12A-2 (11) restaurants in order to comply with State law. The
Commission considered deleting the phrase "without alcohol beverages" language from
the restaurant use or deleting the "restaurant" use from the proposed district. The
Commission determined that sufficient safeguards already exists in the "B-lA" District to
allow the restaurant use with alcohol consumption without disrupting adjacent residential
Staff concurs with the Planning Commission's findings and recommendation to continue
to allow restaurants in the "B-lA" District.
ANALYSIS
The "B-IA" Neighborhood Business District requires restaurants to have direct access to
an expressway or arterial street. Williams Drive is designated as a collector and Holly
Road as an arterial. If the City rezones property fronting on Williams Drive to a "B-IA"
District, then restaurants would not be an allowed use. Conversely, if the City rezones
property on Holly Road to the "B-IA" District, restaurants would be an allowed use.
In addition to the arterial street requirement, restaurants are also required to meet specific
performance standards designed to protect the abutting residences, The performance
standards are as follows:
· Restaurant kitchens, serving areas, grease traps, and dumpsters must be
setback at least 50 feet from any abutting residential district.
· Business hours including loading and unloading are restricted to 6:30 a.m. to
10:00 p.m. when abutting a residential district.
· A 6-foot high masonry wall is required where abutting a residential district.
· Delivery and loading areas shall not be located within 50 feet of a residential
district.
· Tree planting on 30' centers along the rear property line abutting a residential
district to create a tree line between residential and commercial use.

ISSUES:
In 1998, the City Council ask staff to consider rezoning residential properties along
Williams Drive to commercial zoning due to the increasing commercial traffic along the
street. The current adopted plan for the area indicates residential land use along both
sides of Williams Drive between Staples and Everhart Streets. The existing zoning on
Williams is primarily "R-lB" Single Family Residential District.
As part of this review, Staff initiated a planning process to revised the City's future land
use Plan along Williams Drive and to follow up with a rezoning recommendation. In
addition, staff included neighborhood participation in the planning process by inviting the
Gardendale neighborhood (area between Staples, Everhart, Holly and Williams) to three
neighborhood meetings at Gardendale Baptist Church.(See Attachment B) One of the
results from the neighborhood meetings was a suggestion that staff and the neighborhood
form a committee to work on a plan proposal. A committee was formed from property

owners and residents along Williams Drive and fi.om within the neighborhood. The
neighborhood committee consists of residents/property owners along Williams Drive and
residents/property owners of property along interior neighborhood streets i.e., Bonner,
Cain, Curtis Clark etc. The Committee met 12 times with staff from 1998 - 1999.
Issues emerging from these meetings included:
Williams and Holly Roads have too much commercial traffic to continue to be
viable single family residential neighborhoods.
· Existing commercial zorfing districts would allow too much intensity and
generate too much traffic to be accommodated by Williams Drive, in its
current configuration with four lanes in 60 feet of right-of-way.
· Existing commercial zoning districts are not protective enough to adjacent
residential neighborhoods.
SUMMARY OF PLAN AND ZONING RECOMMENDATIONS
1. The City should amend the Southside Area Development Plan Recommended land
uses along Williams Drive and Holly Road (North side only on Holly) to commercial
land use.
2. The City should amend the Zoning Regulations to provide a new neighborhood
commercial zoning district (in addition to the existing neighborhood zoning district)
that could be used on both sides of Williams Drive, on the north side of Holly Road.
In addition, the proposed district is adaptable to similar transitional
residential/commemial corridors at other locations around the City. The district is
designated as the "B-1A" Neighborhood Business District.
3. Protect the Gardendale Residential neighborhood by limiting future expansion of
commercial from Everhart and Staples into the neighborhood to 300 foot of depth.
4. Improve the Gardendale Neighborhood Park at Betty Jean and Holly Road.
5. Follow up approval of the "B-lA" District zoning text amendment with a City
initiated rezoning of Williams Drive with the new "B-lA" District.
6. Fully fund at least two traffic mitigation devices (speed humps) along Gardendale
Neighborhood Streets (Curtis Clark, Bonner, Cain, Nelson, Burton Streets or Betty
Jean).

Continuation of the Gardendale Southside Area Development Plan Amendments and the Proposed
"B-lA" Neighborhood Business District Public Hearing
Commissioner Gm stated that he needed to abstain from participation on agenda item and left
the room.
Mr, Payne outlined changes made to the "B-lA" District as reqtlested by the comrmSsion at the
previous meeting:
· A 100-foot frontage width requirement for lots converting from residential to business.
· 20% parking discount
· 20-foot setback requirement
Mr. Pa)me stated that the "B-lA" District is designed to be as sensitive to the adjacent residences
as an "AB" Professional Office District while at the same time allowing low n'affic generating businesses
that would be allowed in a "B-I' District. He stated that he believed the "B-lA" Distr/ct would be
appropriate for the Gardendale area.
Chairman Quintanilla opened the public hearing.
Rob Rudine, property owner in Gardendale, stated that he agreed with Mr. Payne regarding the
plan. Mr. R. udine stated that he, other residences, and Staff compromised when developing the "B-lA"
Diswict and stated that he believed the plan would work for the Gardandale area. He asked the
Comrmssinn to recommend adoption of the plan to City Council.
Carol Norrell, 5233 Williams, stated that she supports the plan, however, believes that the same
FAR should be ~illowed on either side of Williams Dtive. At the present time, the proposed plan designates
.50 for the south side and .30 for the north side. Mr. Norrell stated that she believed a lower FAR on the
north side of Williams Drive would reslrict her ability to convert or sell her property.
Chairman Quimanilla closed the public hearing.
After discussion regarding the allowable FAR for each side in Gardendale, comrmssioner Richter
requested that the FAR be identical on the north and south sides of Williams Drive.
Commissioner Richter stated that she would like to review the application of the Option 2, as
presented previously, for consideration in other neighborhoods.
Motion by Underbrink, seconded by Sween-McGloin, to recommend the creation of the "B-lA"
District to City Council and to include changing the FAR on the south side of Williams Drive to 0.50.
Motion passed unanU'nously with Guzmin abstaining and Noyola being absent.
Motion by Sween-McGloin, seconded by Richter, to apply the "B-IA" District to the Gardendale
subdivision and amend the Southside Area Development Plan. Motion passed tmanmiously with Guzmzin
abstaining and Noyola being absent.
Motion by Richter, seconded by Kelly, to create a district with m/xed uses as illustrated/n Option
2. Motion passed unanimously with Guzmfin abstaining and Noyola being absent.

"POLICY STATEMENT B. 9
Rezone residentially zoned properties on Williams Drive and Holly Road between Staples
Street and Everhart Road to a neighborhood commercial district consistent with street
traffic carrying capacity and protection of the abutting residential nelo~hhorhoorl,
The intensity of neighborhood commercial uses on Williams should be gma,at~d from the hi~,h
commercial intensity of Moore Plaza to the single-family residential uses of the Gardendale
neighborhood, adiacent to Williams Drive. In the conversion of residential to non-residential
uses along Williams, primary consideration should be given to maintaining, traffic volumes that
do not exceed safe operational standards.
Holly Road is a maior arterial between Everhart and Staples and will carry a siqniflcant
volume of traffic supportive of hiqher intensiht uses. Anticipated office and commercial
development on Holly could neqativelv impact those sinqle-family residences behind
Holly Road on Cain Street. Any commercial rezoninq should reduce the impact of
expected future development and protect and preserve the residential uses in the
Gardendale Neiqhborhood.
Design objectives for a low intensity/neighborhood compatible commercial district are
summarized as follows:
· Limit the intensity of commercial land uses so as to control related traffic volumes and
maintain traffic flow on Holly and Williams Drives not to exceed LOS D standards.
· Allow office and commercial development on Williams and Holly Roads. but prohibit those
land uses typically found in the B-4 zoning district which are most offensive to residential
properties.
· Create a unique mixed-use district compatible with adiacent residences by llmltinE allowable
uses to primarily professional office, specialty retail and residential uses on Williams Drive.
· Maintain a scale of development compatible with adjoining residential uses by graduating the
allowable building height on Williams and Holly.
· Because of the large size of lots on Williams and Holly, replatting of multiple lots may occur
and result in various lot sizes throughout the dislrict. Maintain minimtun lot sizes and
frontages.
· Create an effective buffer between Gardendale residential uses and commercial or office uses
fronting Williams and Holly by requiring additional rear yard setbacks, a screening fence and
a rear yard tree canopy.
Require all exterior lighting fixtures to be directed away from residential properties."

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
February8,2000
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to enter into an
agreement with the Nueces River Authority for services related to regional water resources planning,
protection and development activities, at a cost not to exceed $42,000 in FY 1999-2000, with future
year costs subject to appropriation.
ISSUE: On February 17, 1998, the City Council approved an "Inteflocal Agreement for Regional
Water Planning Activities" (Agreement) between the City of Corpus Christi (City) and the Nueces
River Authority (Authority). In this agreement, the City and Authority pledged to participate in a
coordinated effort to maximize the benefits of regional water planning to secure adequate water for
the Region. This agreement set the stage for the Nueces River Authority to establish a new Coastal
Bend Division, with offices in Corpus Christi, to assist in both the Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) Regional
Water Planning Program for the Coastal Bend planning area, and in other water resource protection
and development activities of benefit to the City of Corpus Christi and the regional water supply.
In addition to facilitating the SB 1 regional water planning activities, the Authority has, over the last
several years, entered into several agreements with the City to provide other services associated with
the protection and development of regional water resources. Under these agreements, the Authority
has provided the City with information and assistance on issues and projects that are of importance
to the City's regional water supply system, such as freshwater inflows to the bays and estuaries,
desalination technologies, interregional water resources development, and water quality monitoring
and protection.
The proposed "Interlocal Agreement for Regional Water Resources Planning, Protection and
Development Services" would provide for the continuation of the Authority's role in assisting the
City in maintaining a safe, dependable, affordable water supply for the Coastal Bend region.
BACKGROUND: (See Attached)
IM~PLEMENTATION SCHEDULE: The "Preliminary Phase" of the agreement would begin
immediately upon execution of the agreement and will cover the period through the end of the 1999-
2000 fiscal year (July 21, 2000); subject to annual appropriations, the agreement would then extend
from August 1, 2000 through July 31, 2005.
201
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Previous Agreements: The City and the Authority have developed both contractual and de facto
partnership arrangements for specific projects in the past, including the Choke Canyon Reservoir
project and the Lake Texana to Corpus Christi Water Pipeline project. The City and the Authority
have also jointly sponsored several regional water planning studies, have cooperated in efforts to
develop a reasonable fresh water inflow operating plan for the Choke Canyon/Lake Corpus Christi
reservoir system, and have worked together in numerous instances to protect water quality in the
Nueces and adjoining coastal basins. These joint planning activities have served to benefit Coastal
Bend water interests.
On February 17, 1998, the City and the Authority entered into an "Interlocal Agreement for Regional
Water Planning Activities" (M98-034) wherein the City and the Authority pledged to "participate
in a coordinated effort to maximize the benefits of regional planning to secure adequate water for
the Region". Through this agreement, the City supports the Authority's role in facilitating regional
water planning in general and the development of the SB 1 regional water plan for the Coastal Bend
in particular. At its first formal meeting, the Coastal Bend Regional Water Planning Group (Coastal
Bend RWPG) designated the Authority to be the political subdivision that will hold contracts and
administer grant funds on behalf of the Coastal Bend RWPG and to provide administrative support
for the SB 1 regional water planning program. The Authority created a new "Coastal Bend Division"
with offices in Corpus Christi, to provide these services to the Coastal Bend RWPG and to offer
greater levels of service to the City of Corpus Christi and other water interests in the region.
Under an "Intergovernmental Cooperation Agreement on Regional Water Resources Development"
approved by the City Manager March 12, 1998, the City provided the Authority with funding through
the end of FY 1997-98 to assist the City in several on-going projects related to identifying,
evaluating, and developing potential sources of additional water supply for the Coastal Bend area,
coordinating activities related to these projects, and providing regular information and reports to City
staff and the Corpus Christi City Council.
On August 25, 1998, the City and the Authority entered into the "Interlocal Agreement for Regional
Water Planning Services" under which the City funded the Authority to provide services associated
with the protection and development of regional water resources. This agreement covered the period
of September 1, 1998 through August 3 I, 1999 and compensated the Authority in the amount of
$60,000.
Under this agreement, the Authority worked with City staff to identify, monitor and report on issues
and projects of importance to the regional water supply system, such as freshwater inflows to the
bays and estuaries, desalination technologies, water quality monitoring and water supply
development. The Authority also provided public outreach on water issues within the City's service
area outside the Corpus Christi city limits, identified and developed private and state funding for
regional water resource investigations and participated in water supply development planning at the
inter-regional level.
2O2
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT
Term of Agreement: The "Preliminary Phase" of the agreement would cover the period through the
end of the 1999-2000 fiscal year (July 21, 2000). Subject to annual appropriations, the agreement
would then extend fi-om August 1, 2000 through July 31, 2005.
Payments: During the Preliminary Phase of this Agreement, the City shall pay $42,000 to the
Authority, in equal monthly payments. Payments beyond the current budget year are subject to
appropriation. The Authority shall meet with representatives of the City each year prior to the
initiation of the City's budget preparation process to develop a specific work plan and budget for the
upcoming fiscal year. The annual work plan and budget, as approved by the City Council during the
budget process, shall establish payments by the City to the Authority for each of the five years
following the Preliminary Phase.
Deliverables: City staff worked with the Authority to define a set of deliverables for the
preliminary phase of the proposed agreement. Prior to July 31, 2000, the Authority would:
a) assist City staff in the coordination and development of a long term strategy to address
water resources management issues for the Choke Canyon/Lake Corpus Christi
Reservoir/Lake Texana Reservoir System;
b) prepare a briefing paper to assist City staffin identifying and defining potential benefits
for the transfer of title to Choke Canyon Reservoir fi-om the federal government to the
local project sponsors and to develop a sWategy for achieving title transfer, if so directed
by the City;
c) prepare a briefing paper to assist City staff in planning and evaluating potential projects
designed to maximize the benefit of freshwater resources available for the Nueces
Delta/Estuary system and assist City staff in coordinating contracts for monitoring and
other activities in the Nueces Delta/Estuary System;
d) coordinate with City representatives regarding the development and implementation of
a regional water resources data management system;
e) assist City staffin monitoring regional water planning activities in regions outside the
Coastal Bend area and identifying oppommities for interregional water resource
development projects that benefit the City's service area;
f) monitor and identify state, federal, or private funding opportunities for regional water
resources development; and
g) continue to investigate environmental and water quality issues related to the Choke
Canyon/Lake Corpus Christi/Lake Texana Reservoir System.
The Authority shall report its activities under this Agreement to the City's Water Superintendent
through monthly briefings and written quarterly reports. The Authority shall also provide written
reports and oral presentations to the City Council as requested.
Purpose: By approving the "hiterlocal Agreement for Regional Water Resources Planning,
Protection and Development Services") the City would be entering into a long-term cooperative
arrangement with the Authority to jointly carry out activities that are of vital importance to the City
and water users in the City's service area. The Nueces River Authority would be committing to
working on behalf of the City and the water users in the region to protect and develop regional water
203
resources. This cooperative effort would effectively and efficiently allocate and coordinate available
staff resources of both the City and the Authority to address water issues important to the Coastal
Bend region.
Funding: The activities proposed under this Agreement have historically been funded through the
annual budget of the City's Water Supply Development activity. These expenses, along with other
expenditures for mw water supplies, are included in the "mw water pass-through rotes" that recover
costs on an equitable basis from ail the water users throughout the City's service area. The Authority
will work with City staff to develop an annual budget and extended work plan for services under this
Agreement. This work plan would be incorporated in the Water Supply Development budget
presented to the City Council annually. Wherever appropriate, the budget document would identify
where the local cost of the regional water management activities have been reduced by securing state,
federal or private funding sources, or where local funds have helped to leverage outside funding
SOUrCes.
After approval and inclusion in the budget, annual funding for this Agreement would be
administratively approved by the City Manager prior to each annual renewal during the five-year
term. If the Authority or the City obtain funding from outside sources to cover any of the expenses
originally provided by the City in the annual budget, the City would have the right to request
additional services from the Authority during that budget year, up to the original level of City
funding.
Additional services beyond the scope of the approved annual budget and work plan will be
conducted by the Authority, at the request of the City, for an additional funding amount agreed to
by the Authority and the City Manager.
Administration and Coordination: Responsibility for the administration and coordination of
activities related to the proposed Agreement would reside with the Water Superintendent and the
Deputy Executive Director for the Coastal Bend Division of the Nueces River Authority.
Conclusion: This Proposal continues and expands existing agreements between the Authority and
the City, cord'm-ns a long standing partnership, and provides funding to sustain important water
resource protection and development activities. City staff believes that with the support of the
Authority, resources would be most effectively and efficiently allocated to coordinate and address
water issues important to the Coastal Bend region.

W. Thomas Utter, Assistant City Manager
February 2, 2000
Request for Joint Meeting of the Corpus Christi Housing Finance Corporation (CCHFC)
and Corpus Christi Community Improvement Corporation (CCCIC) on February 8, 2000
I am requesting that a joint meeting of the Corpus Christi Housing Finance Corporation (CCHFC) and
the Corpus Christi Community Improvement Corporation (CCCIC) be held during the Council meeting
of February 8, 2000 to hear an update on the accomplishments of the Corpus Christi Housing
Partnership through January 31, 2000, to introduce the new $19.3 million Mortgage Credit Certificate
Program for the community, and to appoint Loan Review Committee members.
Update on the Corpus Christi Housing Partnership: In July 1996, the CCHFC and the CCCIC,
together with a number of groups within the City, established the Corpus Christi Housing
Partnership and set the goal of assisting 4,000 units within the City of Corpus Christi by the end of
the Year 2000. While this was a very large goal, the partnership felt that working together, we could
achieve this high level of activity.
I am very pleased to report that as of January 31, 2000, 3,889 units have either been assisted or
are in the process of being assisted. While these numbers we feel are extraordinary, the amount of
funds, including some for administration of homeless programs, has amounted to over $82 million.
all of which comes from various grant fundings. I have attached a copy of a breakdown of t[
programs since July 1996. Note that the new Mortgage Credit Certificate Program and two ney,
HOME construction projects are underway at this time.
Since 1980, the CCHFC has had a continuum of mortgage assistance programs for first-time
homebuyers. We are very pleased to announce that on January 31, 2000, all of the paper work
was completed through the Texas Bond Review Agency in order that the CCHFC can proceed with
a new $19.3 million Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) Program. For qualified first-time
homebuyers, this program allows a 25% tax credit on mortgage interest paid. This, in effect,
reduces the interest rate by 25%. Our previous MCC Programs have been highly successful
throughout the community. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the mortgage bankers
throughout the City and the Board of Realtors who are the real salespersons for this program. I
have attached a copy of the handout brochure for the new MCC Program.
Appointment of Loan Review Committee Members: All of the rehabilitation loans flowing through
the CCCIC are packaged by City staff and are submitted to an independent Loan Review
Committee made up of 11 members. The Loan Review Committee has three members whose
terms have expired. All three members wish to be re-appointed and staff would endorse their
request. The three members are as follows: Louis Garza, David Cantu, and Daniel Suckley. I
have attached an attendance form from January 1999 through December 1999.

Progrmn, home buyers must meet certain eligibility requirements, purchase a home or complete home
improvements which qualify under the Program, and obtain a mortgage loan through a participating
Lender. (Refer to the "MCC = Money in Your Pocket!!" Worksheet to see if you meet the general
requirements for participation in the Progrmn.)

ELIGIBLE PROPER1T
General Information: New or existing owner-occupied, single family houses, townhouses,

family residences may be eligible so long as the owner occupies at least one unit and generally the structure
must be at least 5 years old.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
General Information: An MCC is a tax credit that vall reduce the federal income taxes of qualified
buyers purchasing a qualified Residence or homeowners completing qualified home improvements or a
qualified rehabilitation. As a result, the MCC has the effect of reducing your mortgage payments.
Applications must be made to the CCI-IFC prior to closing the Loan. The MCC may not be used in
connection with the refinancing of an existing loan.
Benefit Amount: The size of your annual tax credit will be 25% of the annual intct~st paid on your
mortgage loan or $2,000, whichever is less. The credit cannot be larger tha~ your annual federal income
tax liability, after all other credits and deductions have been taken. MCC credits in excess of your current
year tax liability may, however, be carried forward for use in the subsequent three years. For an example
of how MCCs work, see "MC C -- Money in Your Pocket!!"
Assumability: The MCC can be transferred only upon issuance of a new cerfifieuto by the
CCHFC. The person assuming your loan will have to qunlify just as a new borrower would be required to
qualify under the Program.
Tax Credit Versus Tax Deduction: A mortgage interest deduction differs from a mortgage tax
credit in a number of ways. For example, all home buyers, regardless of income, may take a mortgage
interest deduction, whereas mortgage tax credits are available only to holders of Mortgage Credit
Certificates. With the Mortgage Credit Certificate, you will save $I for each $1 of credit received. Using
an MCC and itemizing your deductions on Schedule A of Form 1040 will require you to reduce any
additional mortgage interest deduction you may take by an amount equal to your mortgage tax credit
claimed.
Length of Benefit: Each year, your mortgage mx credit will be calculated on the basis of 25
percent of the total interest you paid on your mortgage loan that year. The MCC will be in effect for the
life of your mortgage loan, so long as the residence remains your principal residence.
Recapture of Tax Credit: Your Mortgage Credit Certificate will be subject to certain requirements
imposed by federal law concerning the recapture ora portion of the mortgage tax credit benefits granted to
you upon the sale of your Residence within 9 years from the date of purchase. In no event will the
recapture tax exceed one-half of your taxable gain on the sale of your residence.
QUALIFIED REHABILITATIONS AND HOME 13/~PROVEMENTS
MCCs may also be used in connection with Qualified Home Improvement Loans not exceeding
$15,000 or Qualified Rehabilitation Loans. The first-time buyer requirement does not apply for either a
Qualified Home Improvement Loan or a Qualified Rehabilitation Loan.
Qualified Home Improvement Loan: Home improvement loans cannot exceed $15,000 for
alterations, repairs and improvements to an existing residence by its owner designed to substantially protect
or improve the basic liveability or energy efficiency of the residence.
Qualified Rehabilitation Loan: Rehabilitation financing is allowed for improvements to an existing
residence by its owner when the following conditions have been met: the residence must be at least 20 years
old; 50 percent or more of the existing external walls of the residence must be retained in place as external
walls; 75% or more of the existing external walls of the residence must be retained as either internal or
external walls; at least 75% of the existing internal structural framework must be retained in place; and the
expenditures incurred in the rehabilitation must be equal to at least 25% of the borrower's adjusted basis in
the residence.
