Neat Jr. Mayor Pro Tem Mark Scott Council Members: Javier D. Colmenero Melody Cooper Hen~ Garrett Dr. Arnold Gonzales Rex A. Kinnison John Longoria ABSENT Betty Jean Longoria City Staff: City Manager David R. Garcia Deputy City Manager George Noe City Attorney James R. Bray Jr. City Secretary Armando Chapa Assistant City Attorney Alison Gallaway Recording Secretary Rachelle P. Ram6n Mayor Neat called the meeting to order in the Council Chainbern of City Hall. The invocation was delivered by Minister Charles Boren, Norton Street Church of Christ, following which the Pledge of Allegiance to the United States flag was led by Council Member Garrett. City Secretary Chapa called the roll and verified that the necessary quorum of the Council and the required charter officers were present to conduct the meeting. Mayor Neat called for approval of the minutes of the regular Council meeting of February 29, 2000. A motion was made and passed to approve the minutes as presented. Mayor Neat asked City Manager Garcia to explain a letter the city received earlier that day from the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC). Mr. Garcia said city staff have been working with the TNRCC for some time regarding a number of environmental violations that have occurred at the J.C. Elliott Landfill. He said most of_the violations have to do with fairly technical issues, such as bernas and daily and final coverage'of the landfill's cells. He said the letter also mentions the corrective actions that the city has taken, but it does not relieve the city of its obligation to deal with the violations. Mr. Garcia said the TNRCC is proposing a fine of approximately $87,675 and now the city will enter into detailed discussions with TNRCC about the fine and alternative ways that the city can resolve that issue. The City Manager said the city will propose that environmental projects be substituted for dollar payments; he added that staff will provide periodic reports to the Council regarding the negotiations. Responding to Council Member Go, Tales, Mr. Garcia said the city will respond to TNRCC immediately regarding this issue. Minutes Regular Council Meeting March 7, 2000 Page 2 Mayor Neal referred to the board and committee appoint~nents on the day's agenda, and the following appointments were made: Board of Adjustment Robert Broadway Food Service Advisory Committee Tommy Watson Building Standards Board Jennifer Hilliard Mary Helen SalaTar Water Shore Advisory Committee Dr. Oscar Garcia Richard Poremba Senior Companion Program Advisory Committee Deidra Graves George Perez Transportation Advisory Cormmittee Sandy Keiser Michele Trevi~o Mechanical/Plumbing Advisory Board Ralph Pitzer (Reappointed) Patrick Scarpulla (Reappointed) Nicolas Llanes (Reappointed) Abelardo Flores (Reappointed) Neill Amsler Mayor Neai referred to the presentation on the day's agenda regarding the Gypsy Park Neighborhood Adopt-A-Park Program. Mr. Tony Cisneros, Director of Park and Recreation, said this project involves the work of many volunteers who are working with the city to improve Gypsy Park on Padre Island. Mrs. Sandy Billish, 13866 Hawksnest Bay Dr., said she is chairperson of the Gypsy Park Project Committee, which is now a subcommittee of the Padre Island Property Owners Association (PIPOA) and consists of 25 volunteers from throughout the island. She said the committee intends to develop the 11.5-acre park into a family park overlooking two channels. She said Gypsy Park, which is the largest of five parks located on Padre Island, can become the center of several community activities. Mrs. Billish said the committee's comprehensive plan for the park has been endorsed by the Park and Recreation Advisory Committee, the PIPOA, Padre Island Business Association, Padre Island Enrichment Club, and the Kiwanis Club. Mrs. Billish said the park will be developed in phases as funds become available through contributions, pledges, and in-kind services; to date, they have received commitments totaling $30,982. With the city's approval, they can begin developing Phase I, which will consist of additional playground equipment, a large picnic area, a 30x30 pavilion, a 20x20 gazebo, a volleyball court, and additional landscaping. She said they are also seeking funds to develop a walking and 2 Minutes Regular Council Meeting March 7, 2000 Page 3 exercise path. She added that they made sure the equipment chosen required little maintenance and that maintenance funds were built into the budget. Mrs. Billish then thanked Tony Cisneros, Carlos Mendez and Vie Menard, and she introduced fellow committee members who were present. She also described a diagram of the proposed park project. Mayor Neai called for petitions from the audience. Mr. Lewis Lovelace, 1529 Casa Grande, said he understood that the Council meeting was being held on March 7th instead of March 14th because five Cormell members and three spouses are going to Washington, D.C., for the National League of Cities Congressional City Conference. Those five members are Rex Kinnison, John Longoria, Mark Scott, Arnold Gonzales, and Melody Cooper. The Council members pointed out that their spouses were paying their own way and they questioned why Mr. Lovelace made a point of mentioning it. Mr. Lovelace also delineated costs for the trip (hotel, airfare, and registration expenses) and he said that at the conclusion of the conference, he will inquire about the total of expenses. He said there is no money for a children's playground or for adequate infrastructure, but the Council receives expensive chairs and trips paid with tax dollars. Council Member Kinnison said he and the other four Council members are giving up their time to attend the NLC conference and represent Corpus Christi in order to bring back tax dollars. He noted that they will be meeting with congressional delegations and they will be accompanied by at-risk youth who want to be active in the community through the Y.O.U. organization. He said the Council deals with multi-million dollar items that Mr. Lovelace and others ignore. Mayor Neat said he was not attending the NLC conference because he just returned from the U.S. Conference of Mayors meeting. The Mayor said Mr. Lovelaee's comments were another character assassination by his group on city government and the members of the Council. He said the Council members have an obligation m network with organizations that control grants and state and federal funding, as well as other Council members and Mayors to exchange ideas. Mayor Neal said Corpus Christi needs to rise above such pettiness or it will not progress. Mr. Lovelace said he was not representing anyone except himself. - Mr. R.F. Husker, 1813 Wallace, referred to the Council members' new chairs, saying that three Council members wanted to give the chairs back to the vendor but they were told they were special ordered and could not be returned. He said there are many other needs in the community; he also discussed the marina bait stand. Mr. Husker said there are a few, proud taxpayers who have the courage to question the decisions made by the City Manager, staff and Council members. Mr. Paul Lara, 1305 Brentwood, discussed a proposal for a seafood market on the Peoples Street T-Head. He said that for years shrimpers have been selling their catch from their boats, although some have been illegally selling shrimp they have not caught. Mr. Lara said the establishment of a seafood market would provide an additional source of income for the shrimpers Minutes Regular Council Meeting March 7, 2000 Page 4 as well as meet the seafood demands of visitors to the marina and improve the area's tourism. Mr. JeffFrabrn, 13501 Royal Fifth Court, said the defeat of the county's bond election last November changed the county's revenue projections, which forced them to pass a tax increase to meet revenue requirements. Mr. Frahm said he applauds the City Council's efforts to improve the city' s tax base and tax revenues. He said that while new businesses have opened on Padre Island, other businesses have closed. He said the city needs to leverage its tax dollars and continue to invest in the future. Mr. Jack Gordy, 310 Norton St., said last Tuesday he noticed political signs located hi the flower beds around City Hail. He said information about the city is available from newspapers and the Intemet, and people from other cities have read that the city does not have the funding to complete a children's playground or buy furniture for fire stations, but it does have money to buy expensive chairs for the Council. City Secretary Chapa stated that early voting was again taking place on March 7th in City Hail for the March 14th primary election. He said the city has a long-standing policy that political signs are allowed during periods of early voting in City Hail and other city buildings, but only in specified areas. He said the politicai signs will be removed after March 7th. Dr. Gonzales said he agreed that the signs should not be placed in the flower beds of City Hail. Referring to a question from Dr. GopTales, Council Member John Longoria said three of the citizens were referring to a playground near Memoriai Coliseum, which Mr. Gareia pointed out is not Kids' Place. Mr. Cisneros explained that due to ADA requirements, the playground equipment at the children' s park requires the installation of manufactured surfacing. He said the money for that project is in the budget and it will be completed. Dr. GopTa!es said he had asked for a report on the development of the park in that location. Mr. Cisneros said he would provide a copy of the report provided to the Council. In response to Council Member Garrett, Mr. Garcia explained that as a cost-saving measure, the Fire Depamnent provides a shop where the fire figkters..can manufacture their own chairs, shelving, and lockers. He said there was a lag between the lime the new fire station on Rodd Field Road was opened and the time the chairs and some intemai furnishings were completed. Consequently, furniture from other fire stations was moved into the new station until the furniture for that station was ready. Mr. Sum Beecroft, 144 Ropes, said he believes there is a growing appreciation among the people he talks to that the Council and staff are making a difference and having a positive impact. Mr. Tony Hartwell referred to a firearms transaction record form from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. He said he had gone to Congressman Solomon Ortiz's office with suggestions on changing that form to reflect the number and ages of children of the person filling out the form. He suggested that the Council establish a pilot program in Corpus Christi that would Minutes Regular Council Meeting March 7, 2000 Page 5 require people to provide that information when purchasing a gun, as well as requiring them to purchase a safe box that is inaccessible to children. Mr. Gene Gt~ernsey, 7522 Holly Rd., encouraged the Cotmcil to think about the future of Corpus Christi when they make decisions. He said he and his six-month-old son support the Council's efforts to create a better economy in the community. Mr. J.E. O'Brien, 4130 Pompano, said that buying $1,200 chairs is a symptom of not prope~y managing taxpayer dollars. He questioned when the city's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) will be available. He said there was a report about the city having money for the Council to attend the Washington conference but no monies to finish the children's playground. He also said the city pays $250,000 for lobbyists and no one knows what they do. Mr. O'Brien added that a citizen was told at the Water/Shore Advisory Committee meeting that they could have a copy of the staffs seafood market proposal after it was passed. Responding to Mr. Garrett, Mr. Garcia said the auditors have all the information for the CAFR, and they are scheduled to have the report back on March 25, 2000. Mr. Abel Alonzo, 1701 Thames, said he had reed in the newspaper that McAllen was doing better than Corpus Christi, even though it took four attempts for McAllen to pass a sales tax. He said when a city concentrates on economic development, jobs are created. He challenged the community to come before the Council every week to concentrate on positive issues and to move forward, and he said they have to pay the price for growth. Mr. Rolando Barrera, 2621 Camargo, said he was representing the Hispanic Coptractors Association, which supports economic development in the community. He said their organization would like to see a more diverse representation on the Economic Development Corporation Board, as well as a clear and concise plan on how a possible economic development tax would be spent. Mr. Phillip Lant, 538 Indiana, said positive changes have been occurring on the bayfront. He said seafood markets in other marinas around the country are _tl2triving, and a similar wharf in Corpus Christi's marina will generate money for the city. Dr. Gonzales said the legislation that he helped pass several years ago regarding selling seafood off of boats was designed for the boat owners to make money but also to create seafood markets in the future. Mayor Neal called for consideration of the consent agenda (Items 3-6). There were no comments ~'om the Council or the audience. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes: 3. M2000-068 Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute an engineering services Minutes Regular Council Meeting March 7, 2000 Page 6 contract in the amount of $780,565 with BHP Engineering for the O.

The foregoing ordinance passed on first reading by the following vote: Neai, Colmenero, Cooper, Garrett, Gonzales. Kinnison, J. Longoria. and Scott voting "Aye"; B. Longofia absent. Mayor Neat opened discussion on Item 7, neighborhood parks rehabilitation project. There were no comments from the audience. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes: 7. M2000-069 Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute a construction contract with Reese Contracting in the amount of $477,000 for the Neighborhood Parks Rehabilitation Project. The foregoing motion passed by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero, Cooper,' Garrett, GovTales, Kinnison, J. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye"; B. Longofia absent. Mayor Neat opened discussion on Item 8, Kostoryz Road improvements. He called for comments from the audience. Mr. J.E. O'Brien said he was not opposed to the appropriation of $78,484 in the Stormwater CIP Fund, but he was opposed to the $160,966 going into the Street CIP Fund, which he said was a transfer that is prohibited by the City Char~er. He said the proper vote on this item is "No." Mr. Jack Gordy addressed Item 8.d. on the day_',s agenda. He said many people were wondering why that ordinance needed to be amended by d~leting the word "transferring" and replacing it with the word "loaning." He said those changes should have been done before the Council originally voted on that ordinance on December 21, 1999. Council Members Scott and Garrett asked City Attorney Bray whether transferring money is a violation of the City Charter. Mr. Bray replied that transferring money gratuitously would violate the Charter; i.e., to take utility funds and subsidize another activity like a General Fund activity where the Utility Fund is not being reimbursed for those dollars. On the other hand, the Charter does not prohibit a loan from the Utility Fund to another fund where the Utility Fund is fully reimbursed with a rate of interest that would be comparable to what the Utility Fund would get if it were invested. Mr. Bray added that the reason the Council has done this in several cases recently is because the Utility Fund is made entirely whole, the loan is carried on the books as an asset Minutes Regular Council Meeting March 7, 2000 Page 8 accounting-wise, and it saves the taxpayers money in the Genera/Fund because it cuts down on the cost of borrowing funds. With respect ~o Item 8.d., Mr. Bray read from the agenda memorandum, which states, "The previous appropriation ordinance on the Leopard Street Improvements Project-McKinzie to Rehfeld Road is tmmistakably a loan from the Combined Utility Systems Fund to the Street Bond Fund ('with the funds actually borrowed...to be reimbursed...at 5.6% interest within 12 months.'). However, use of the word 'transferred' has been the subject of an unfounded allegation in a lawsuit that 'said ordinance, by its terms, provides for a prohibited transfer...' Consequently, it is recommended that Ordinance 023879 be amended to substitute the word 'loaned' for the word 'transferred."' Mr. Bray said that ordinance obviously is a loan but the lawsuit itself claims that in terms it is a transfer, so if anyone is confused by that, this amendment will make it clear. Dr. Oonzales asked when the project will be completed. Mr. Angel Escobar, Director of Engineering Services, said the Kostoryz Road project is under the Texas Department of Transportation's TIP program and it is scheduled to be awarded in May 2000; the completion date is estimated to be October 2001. He said once the city finishes relocating the water and sewer lines, the contractor will begin construction in about July. He said he will need to find out if there will be a signal at the intersection of Kostoxyz and Masterson. Mr. Longoria said they have been working on this project since he was elected to the Council in 1995, which is an example of the length of time projects can take to be constructed. Hc said that project has been the number one issue for the residents of the Cresunont subdivision and it will provide much-needed relief from l~affic congestion along Kostoryz Road. Mr. Colmenero reflected on the amount of time the Council and staff spend in answering the negative conunents ,made by citizens during Council meetings, which affects future investments in this city. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows: 8.a. RESOLUTION NO. 023967 Resolution of statement expressing official intent t~ reimburse costs of Kostoryz Road improvements project. The foregoing resolution passed by the following vote: Neai, Colmenero, Cooper, Garrett, Gonzales, Kinnison, J. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye"; B. Longoria absent. 8.b.

ORDINANCE NO. 0239.70 Ordinance amending Ordinance No. 23879, adopted on December 21, 1999, which appropriated $728,834 from the Unreserved Fund Balance in the Combined Utility Systems Fund, for the purpose of clarification only, by substituting Section 2, deleting ~he word "transferring" and replacing it with the word "loaning." An emergency was declared and the foregoing ordinance passed by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero, Cooper, Garrett, Gonzales, Kinnison, J. Longofia, and Scott voting "Aye"; B. Longofia absent. Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 9, Weed and Seed grants. He called for comments from the audience. Ms. Yvorme Guerra, 5821 Hugo Dr., said she represents the AVANCE Family Support and Education program, a safe haven site for the Weed and Seed program. She said she was appealing the decision made by the committee in not approving the renewal of AVANCE's grant. Ms. Guerra said that last week they closed their doors and laid off five employees since they cotrid not continue their literacy and fatherhood programs. She said they were asking for a grant of $5,500 to continue the program year to May 2000, which will allow some students to continue their GED testing as well as pay for childcare and transportation expenses. Minutes Regular Council Meeting March 7, 2000 Page 10 Mr. Jimrole Till, 6034 Lost Creek, thanked city staff for separating out the agenda items so they are more easily understood. Responding ~o Council Member Gonzales, City Manager Garcia said there was $197,000 available for the Weed and Seed program. The city received over 40 grant proposals totaling over $700,000 and since only 12 could be funded, there were many worthy programs that did not receive funding. He said staff was recommending these amounts but the Council can amend them. Dr. Go, Tales said he had been approached by several individuals regarding the cost (50 cents per person) of using the pool at the Joe Garza Recreation Center. Mr. Cisneros replied that the city had applied for a grant to subsidize the children' s use of that pool, but that proposal was not one of the 12 being recommended for funding. A discussion ensued, and Mr. Garcia pointed out that the revenue the city receives from its pools is $270,000 annually, which goes back into the aquatics program and allows the city to operate the pools during the hours specified. He said if the Council directs staff to do so, they can change the amount of money the city charges to users of the pools, which would decrease the amount of revenue available to operate the pools. Consequently, that shortfall would have to come from another source or the pools' operations would have to change. Council Member John Longoria asked about Item 9.c. (an agreement with Youth Odyssey to provide $10,482 to implement youth development activities in outdoor settings). Mr. George Hodge, Director of the Weed and Seed program, said Youth Odyssey operates out of the Oscar Romere Center and they service youth from safe haven sites throughout the city. Mr. Longoria also inquired about Item 9.e. ($18,000 for transportation costs). Mr. Cisneros said that money is used to provide transportation for target-area youth to attend var~;ous city programs, such as the museum, swimming pools, and field trips. Mr. Longoria pointed out that Item 9.1. is a $21,122 grant to provide a Northside Manor Community Network Center. He asked about the drag elimination grant money that Northside Manor received from the U.S. Deparunent of Housing and Urban Development. Mr. Hodge replied that some of that money provides for law enforcement services 19 that housing area, but he did not have all the details about it. Mr. Longoria discussed the lack of-fulding for such westside programs as AVANCE and the Boys and Girls Club at La Armada. Mr. Cisnems said that this year the Weed and Seed committee decided to provide partial funding for certain programs so they could expand it to 12 sites (four on the north side, four on the west side, and four city-wide sites). He added that other than ensuring that the selected programs served the specific target area, location was not a selection criterion. Responding to Mr. Longoria's question about AVANCE's grant request, Mr. Cisneros said that AVANCE had submitted grant requests for three programs: $24,934 for AVANCE Community Education Program; $3,099 for AVANCE childcare to West Oso ISD; and $5,490 for AVANCE transportation costs. He said AVANCE's appeal that day for $5,500 is apparently trying to encompass all three programs in some form. 10 Minutes Regular Council Meeting March 7, 2000 Page 11 Mr. Longoria questioned the committee's decision to fund the program at Northside Manor Apartments when they still have $250,000 to spend from another funding source. Mr. Hodge replied that staff could have the committee readdress that item. Responding to another question from Mr. Longoria, Mr. Hodg~ said La Armada' s grant request was to bring youth from the La Armada Boys and Girls Club to participate in programs at the main Boys and Girls Club site on Greenwood. A representative of AVANCE explained that they were asking for money to complete their program through April and May with minimum staffing. Council Member Colmenero asked about Item 9.h. for a Northside Outreach Program. Mr. Cisneros explained that the YMCA Executive Board is waiting for the decision on the OJP form before making their decision. He said if the board decided that they did not want to participate in the Weed and Seed grant program, it would free up the $8,265.75 being recommended for that program. Mr. Colmenero also asked about Item 9.e. regarding transportation costs. Mr. Hodge said that last year those costs totaled almost $17,600. Mr. Colmenero asked about other reprogrammed funds that may be available. Mr. Cisneros said staff is waiting to receive specific written verification from the Department of Justice that the city can reallocate unused funds. Mr. Garcia said that when the city receives that verification, staff will come back to the Council with a specific recommendation on how to use the reprogranm~ed funds. Mr. Colmenero suggested that funds be taken from Item 9.e. to be used by another project until the reprogrammed funds are available. Mr. Longoria made a motion to amend Item 9.e. to reduce the grant amount to $7,500 for transportation costs, and to add two new programs: Item 9.m. to fund the AVANCE program at $5,500; and Item 9.n. to fund the La Armada Boys and Girls Club for $5,000. Dr. Gonzales asked how the funding reduction would affect the trampormtion prog;am (Item 9.e. ). Mr. Hodge said the funds are used to transport youth to various events throughout the city, such as the museum and pools. Dr. Gonzales then seconded the motion. Mayor Neat called for a voice vote on Mr. Longoria's motion to amend, and it passed by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero, Cooper, Garrett, GoB:ale_s., Kinnison, J. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye"; B. Longoria absent. Responding to another question~om Dr. Gonzales, Mr. Hodge said about 1,800 children utilized the Joe Garza pool. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows: 9.a.

Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 10, Bond Issue 2000. 14 Minutes Regular Council Meeting March 7, 2000 Page 15 Deputy City Manager Noe referred to a compute presentation to discuss the proposed bond program, which consists of three elements: a 1/Sth cent sales tax for a multi-purpose arena, a 1/Sth cent sales tax to repair the seawall, and a property tax bond issue. He said that on February 15, 2000, staff presented in greater detail the property tax bond issue proposal known as Package #2, which consisted of the following: streets-S30.6 million; public health and safety-S9.7 million; public facilities-S1.8 million; and park and recreation-S10.9 million, for a total of $53 million. He said staff's goal with that proposal was to structure the debt in such a way that it would have a minimal impact on the tax rate by "backloading" the program. As a result, the increased maximum tax rate was 2.6 cents and the cost to the average homeowner was $17.50 per year or $1.46 per month. During the February 15th meeting, the Council asked staff to bring back another proposal with a smaller total amount. That proposal, known as Package #3, includes projects hi the following amounts: streets-$15.5 million; public health and safety-S5.5 million; public facilities-S0.3 million; and park and recreation-S3.7 million, for a total of $25 million. He said the Council had expressed an interest in proposing a bond package that could be implemented quickly; as a result, staff anticipates issuing debt in January 2001 after a November 2000 election. In addition, the projects would need to be substantially completed within three years. Mr. Noe said that significant differences between Package #2 and Package #3 are: replacing the proposed Yorktown Fire Station with a modular building; deleting five major projects (public safety trig facility, Northwest~ Branch Library expansion, McKinzie Road, McArdle Road, and Yorktown Boulevard); adding Cliff Maus project with partial funding; and reducing the overall funding for street overlays and improvements. Mr. Noe said staff also developed a package which is a variation of Package #3..The other package, known as Package ~4, consists of: streets-S15.3 million; public health and safety-S6.1 million; public facilities-S0.3 million; park and recreation-S3.5 million; and inflation-S0.5 million, for a total of $25.7 million. He then discussed the differences between Packages #3 and #4 as well as the impact on the average homeowner. Mr. Garcia pointed out that by mandating that a project be substantially complete in three years, it automatically eliminates any major street project ~at requires substantial right-of-way, improvement, and utility relocation. He said that is due to the lengthy legal process that must be followed in order to condemn and acquire the right-of-way for the utility relocation, which must occur even before the sueet coustmction can take place. Mr. Noe said in anticipation of those delays, staff was proposing that funds be included for right-of-way acquisition of specific street projects for this bond issue, with the assumption that the construction dollars be included in the next bond issue. Mr. Noe said staff also recognized the Council's desire to have a program that begins construction sooner so they developed Package #2A, which takes the same $53 million in projects as contained in Package #2 but issues approximately the same amount of debt for five years (rather than backloading the debt over six years). Minutes Regular Council Meeting March 7, 2000 Page 16 Council Member Kinnison asked about staff's approach to handling the operation and maintenance (O&M) costs in the altemative packages. Mr. Noe discussed the issue of including proj eels that have a good chance of being approved by the voters. Mr. Kinnison responded that it is not just a matter of selling the bond package to the public, it is a matter of the public being willing and able to afford the projects. He said they are not discussing the extreme pressure that will be placed on the General Fund to meet the O&M costs, which could result in a tax increase for that. In addition, he pointed out that the Crime Control and Prevention District will be coming up for voter approval again which, if it is not passed, will place more pressure on the budget. Mr. Kirmison then distributed copies of a bond proposal he had prepared, which was referred to as Package #5. He explained that he first took Package #2 (which was prepared by staff and he backed out the projects that were scheduled for 2005 and 2006, resulting in a new starting point of $24,171,000. Mr. Kinnison then went through the projects and added some that the Council had indicated they wanted, while he also deleted other projects for a total of $28,788,000. He said one of the "big-ticket" items that he deleted was the Yorktown Fire Station for $1.4 million (which also has $875,000 of cost to man it). He said that project can be included in the next bond issue. Mr. Garcia pointed out that even without a bond issue, the cost of running the city increases 3% to 5% every year (for example, the cost of gasoline has increased since last year). He Said the city's economic growth rate is not sufficient to offset the cost of providing city services. The City Manager said this community has not invested in its infrastructure since the last bond election in 1986; meanwhile, the infrastructure continues to deteriorate. He said the Council has made the decision to not raise taxes over the years, and part of the implementation of that decision is to cut costs wherever possible. For example, he said the decision to not build a new fire station results in an increase in the emergency response time, particularly in faster growing areas of the ci.,ty. Mayor Neat called for comments from the audience. Ms. Johnnie Ray Scale, 144 Lakeshore Dr., said the Traffic Engineering Department and the Traffic Advisory Council have determined there is a need for a traffic signal at Congressional and Everhart but there is no funding at this time. She said she-has. lived at Country Club Townhomes since 1976 and they have been working with the city since 1985 to find safe ways for residents to travel in and out of that development. She asked that the Council make that signal a top priority. Mr. Manuel Ugues, President of the Corpus Christi Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, said their membership believes that economic development should be a high priority, and they support the concept of a 1/Sth cent sales tax for economic development. He said the Hispanic Chamber believes the sales tax revenues should be used for projects that are beneficial to the entire community, such as infrastructure, small business training, and support of existing small businesses. In addition, they strongly recommend that at least 50% of the EDC board consist of women and minority representatives. Mr. Tom Niskala, CEO of the Corpus Christi Chamber of Cornmerce, said there is a limited Minutes Regular Council Meeting March 7, 2000 Page 17 number of taxpayers on which to place the burden of government, and if that number does not grow it will be increasingly difficult to meet the needs of the citizens. He said one way to solve that problem is a 1/8th cent sales tax for economic development, which will help businesses grow. Mr. Foster Edwards, CEO of the Corpus Christi Association of Realtors, said their organization is willing to pay more tax to increase growth in Corpus Christi through a 1/Sth cent sales tax. He said they will work with the Council in promoting this issue, and he stressed the importance of unified support of the proposal. He said Corpus Christi is in a contest with other cities for economic development but it lacks the weapons ihe other cities have. Mr. Dixon Clements, Executive Officer of the Builders Association, said their association is very much in favor of any package the Council would propose to support economic development. He said they support a 1/Sth cent sales tax for economic development being placed on the ballot in November. Mr. Tim Stevens said he owns a small business and he is the secretary of the Westside Business Association. He is a proponent of the 1/Sth cent sales tax for economic development because Corpus Christi is a wonderful place to live but they need help in attracting businesses. Ms. Shirley Mims, 4949 Everhart, said she serves on the Planning Commission and is a member of the board of the Ch,a[nber of Commerce. She spoke in favor of the I/Sth cent sales tax for economic development. She said if they do not create more jobs in Corpus Christi, her business suffers and her employees suffer. Responding to Council Member Gonzales, Dr. Nina Sisley, Director of Publi.c Health, explained that the vector control program is currently housed in a substandard couni2~-owned building. She said the city has invested money to improve the facility but the county does not feel it should spend any money to maintain it. In addition, she said they need a storage facility to store chemicals in order to meet Enviromnental Protection Agency standards. She said that while she is grateful that the animal control facility funding is still being recommended in the various bond proposals, she feels the vector control facility funding is ne~eded almost as badly. In reply to Council Member John Longoria, Mr. Escobar described the proposals ~or both the vector control and animal control facilities. Dr. Sisley added that the reported O&M costs includes much laboratory equipment. Council Member Garrett asked about the effect of deleting the public safety training facility from the bond package. Fire Chief Adame and Police Chief Alvarez discussed the limitations of using their current training facilities, which they said does not allow the fire fighters and police officers to receive the extensive training that is necessary to maintain their skills. Council Member Colmenero asked about vector control costs, which Dr. Sisley and Mr. Noe addressed. He also asked about funding for parks, and Mr. Cisneros said it is more difficult to acquire grants for single dedicated uses of parks rather than multi-purpose uses. He also discussed the continuing growth of youth sports leagues, particularly of girls' teams. 17 Minutes Regular Council Meeting March 7, 2000 Page 18 Mr. Colmenero also asked abom the proposed reductions in some street projects, such as street lighting and overlays. Mr. Garcia said the city will continue to have a street lighting program, but the question is to what magnitude it will be able to provide those services. Mr. Colmenero suggested amending Mr. Kinnison's proposal to include $600,000 for the vector control facility, $2 million for youth sports facilities, and $2 million for ranovations of existing parks, which would total $33.3 million for that bond package. Council Member Scott said that no matter which bond package the Council adopts, the underlying issue is the city's inability to pay the ongoing maintenance and operation expenses because the city is not growing. He pointed out that the bond proposal assumes a growth in the tax base of 2.55%, but inflation is running between 3% and 5%. He said an economist told him recen~y that the job growth in Corpus Christi in the last year was 0.38%, while the rest of the state was 2.8%. He said those and other statistics indicate that there needs to be a method to fund economic development, such as the 1/Sth cem sales tax. Mayor Neal said he wanted the Council to finish its discussion about the property tax bond issue before they consider the sales tax issues. Mr. Longoria said Mr. Kirmison's proposal includes many projects that have been needed for several years, specifically street projects. He said some people have criticized past bond packages because they contained too many projects, too much money, and there was uncertainty about how the projects would be completed. Mr. Longoria then suggested the following amendments to Mr. Kinnison's proposal: reinstating the $1.7 million for the public safety training facility; reinstating the $600,000 for the vector control facility; decrease the fire station ADA/co-ed projects by $150,000; decrease signalized imersections and upgraded signalized intersections by $300,000 each; decrease neighborhqod street reconstruction by $1 million; decrease city share of street construction in new subdivisions by $I00,000; and decrease street lighting by $200,000, which totals $29 million. Mr. Kinnison pointed out that in the category of neighborhood street reconstn~etion, staff included the Cliff Maus Drive project at a cost of $500,000; however, Mr. Kinnison had already separated out that project in his proposal. Consequently, Mr. L_ongoria's proposal in effect reduces the neighborhood street reconstruction category by just $500,000. Mr. Garcia commented that there are some interrelationships between the city's capital program and other key programs that have been Council priorities. He said the most direct one is the link between the community-based policing program and the police substations. He explained that through the use of grants and the Crime Control District, the city has been able to increase the number of police officers so there is enough personnel available to implement the community-based policing program. However, if the police substations are dropped out of the city' s capital program, the policing program cannot be fully implemented. Mr. Longoria said there are other ways to utilize substations without building them, such as leasing them. Dr. GonT~les said that a three-year bond program does not develop a road map for the future. 18 Minutes Regular Council Meeting March 7, 2000 Page 19 He said the public should be able to choose which projects they want to see completed, including the amount of funding involved. He said he did not think they should limit themselves to a $30 million bond program. Mr. Longoria and Mr. Kirmison commented that they thought their proposal was responsible and visionary. Mr. Colmenero discussed the importance of improving the city's parks and youth sports facilities. Mayor Neal suggested that the Council take a brief recess while staff incorporates Mr. Longoria's amendments to Mr. Kinnison's bond package. Upon reconvening, Mr. Noe referred to a spread sheet illustrating the bond packages as previously discussed by the Council: Package #2 - $53 million; Package #3 - $25.04 million; Package #4 - $25.25 million; Package #5 (Mr. Kinnison's proposal) - $28.78 million; and Package #5A (Mr. Longoria's proposal) - $29.038 million. Mr. Noe said Package #5A can be roughly categorized as follows: $5.3 million for public health and safety; $4.4 million for parks and recreation; $0.3 million for public facilities; and $19 million for streets. Mr. Garrett asked if the $53 million bond package could be placed on the ballot and approved by voters line for line. City Attomey Bray replied that traditionally, general obligation bond issues group the projects by category, such as streets, parks and cultural, and public safety. He said within those categories the projects can legally be broken down further into smaller ballot propositions. Mayor Neal commented on the e, ffect of the senior citizen homeowners exemption. Mr. Kinnison made a motion to adopt Package #SA and proceed through the bond election preparation process, such as the neighborhood meetings, in order to receive community input. Mr. Longoria seconded Mr. Kinnison's motion. Dr. Gonzales said there were many projects needed in the city and he expressed concern about the projects that were eliminated from Package #5A. He then made a motion to amend Mr. Kinnison's motion to reinstate funding for the Northwest Branch Library expansion for $1.5 million. Mr. Colmenero seconded Dr. Gonzales' motion. Mr. Scott said he interpreted this proposal as bein;.th~ first of two phases that will total six years (three years each). He noted that staff had projected the Northwest Branch Library expansion to be constructed in 2006; consequently, he felt that project should not be included in the furst phase of this funding plan. Mr. Colmenero said he thought the Council needed to find a package that is saleable to the public. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council on Dr. Gonzales' motion to amend to fund the Northwest Branch Library expansion. The motion failed to pass by the following vote: Colmenero, Cooper, Garrert, and Gonzales voting "Aye"; Neal, Kinnison, J. Longofia, and Scott voting "No"; B. Longoria absent.

The Off-System Load Posting Agreement is an instrument which provides a means for the State to assist local governments in the sign posting of the maximum vehicular loads which can be supported on an existing bridge structure. The State will provide the load posting sjgns at no cost if the City agrees to take delivery, install the signs, and maintain them. RECOMMENDATZON: Staff recommends approval of the' resolution as submitted. Additional SuPPort Material: Background Information List of Bridges in Corpus Christi Proposed Agreement ·/l~.R.~Escobar, P.E. ~/~,o Director of Engineering Services 35 (Off-System Load Posting Agreement, 1 of 2) AGENDA MEMORANDUM ADD1TZONAL BACKGROUND ZNFORMATION BACKGROUND: The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDO'F) receives federal funds from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to inspect the condition of bridges on and off the State's Highway System. The FHWA requires TxDOT to enter into a Load Posting Agreement with the local jurisdiction as a prerequisite for continued inspections of the local jurisdiction's bridges and for the accurate posting of load limit signage. Detailed results of TxDOT's bridge inspections are compiled in report form to the local jurisdictions (city or county) which have responsibility for maintenance of the bridges. The reports identify (a) problem areas in the bridge, (b) vehicle load posting and maintenance recommendations, and (c) recommendations to the local jurisdiction for upgrading the bridge. This inspection program and information reporting is furnished for the local jurisdictions consideration only, and no mandatory imposition is intended. The City relies heavily upon TxDOT's bridge inspection program. There are a total of 57 bridges in Corpus Christi on arterial, collector and local streets. The information derived from the State's bridge inspection reports is used by the City tO maintain accurate bridge load restriction information to motorists and for programming necessary repairs for its bridges. Also important is the potential benefit to local jurisdictions derived from TxDOT's Bridge :Inspection Program through TxDOT's receipt of federal funds through the Off System Bridge Replacement Program for upgrading of bridges found to be in poor condition and having vehicle load limits not consistent with the functional classification of the street. Two bridges in Corpus Christi, one on Ocean Drive at the Cayo del Oso crossing and one on Bear Lane, will be reconstructed, with a tentative bid-letting in FY 2001, under the State's Off-System Bridge Replacement Program. The City will bear only 10% of the total construction cost.

("Baylest") to conduct a festival and related activities on the sidewalks, medians, and seawall along Shoreline Boulevard from IH 37 to the Convention Center complex; the Barge Dock and adjacent bay waters; and the vacant city block bounded by Resaca, Fitzgerald, Chaparral and Water Streets ("Premises"), in consideration of Baylest paying a one-time $250 permit fee and 100% of the cost of City services for event support, except that in 2000 only Baylest will pay seventy -five percent (75%) of all police department overtime costs; giving Baylest exclusive use of Premises for 4 days and non- exclusive use for 21 days during a set pedod for each of five years beginning September 18, 2000 and providing for publication. ISSUE: Baylest, Inc. is currently in a five-year lease. However, since the City's special event policy has changed, it is necessary to develop a new contract. In addition, event organizers have requested that all similar events be treated consistently. Baylest, Inc. is requesting that the city approve a five-year lease to include the contract changes. Prior Council Action: At the April 28, 1998 City Council meeting, Council Members directed City staff to consider the feasibility of charging event organizers for all City services including police department overtime. In June 1998, during budget hearings for the 1998-99 fiscal year, the City Council reduced the Police Department overtime budget by $50,000 to be offset by new revenues charged to special event organizers. Ordinance 022634 was passed on July 16, 1996. Council Action Required: Action is required in the form of an ordinance authorizing the City Manager or his designee to enter into a 5-year lease agreement with Baylest, Inc. Future Council Action: Action in the form of an ordinance authorizing street closure permits will be presented to the City Council annually, sixty days prior to festival, if applicable. Recommendation: It is recommended that the ordin~.nce be approved. Marco A. Cisneros, Director PARK & RECREATION DEPARTMENT Attachments: A. Background Information B. Five Year Lease Ordinance for Bayfest C. Lease Summary D. Site Maps H:XPR-DIR\SHARED\CULTURALXAGENDA\BAYAGNMM.DOC 48 AGENDA MEMORANDUM ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION Historically, the event organizer has not reimbursed police overtime for services to special events. During the budget headngs for fiscal year 1998-99 the City Council reduced the Police overtime budget $50,000, anticipating charging for all police services related to support of non-city sponsored special events. As a result a s, eries of meetings were held with some of the major event organizers to discuss the implementation of the policy. During the discussion several issues of concern on the part of the organizers arose. Consistent requirements for all events as well as a clear understanding of what type of events would be affected by the additional police costs: what amount would be charged to individual events; and the time frame for implementing new charges for events now well into their budget year were the major concerns voiced. A special event policy was developed that requires that events pay for all city services used. The implementation began with Baylest paying 50% of the police costs and 100 % of all other City services used for their September 1998 festival. All future Baylest festivals will pay 100% of all services. If the City develops a "Festival" site during this Lease, Baytest agrees to move the Event to the new "Festival" site for the next Event conducted after the "Festival" site is open for events. The Lease will be amended to reflect that the new "Festival" site is now the Premises for this Lease and that all future Events supported by the "Festival Site" will be conducted at the "Festival" site during the Lease. If the "Festival" site is not available for events at least 6 months prior to the date of that years Event, Baylest may elect to wait one year to move the Event to the "Festival" site.

In 1993, Bayfest, Inc., which has participated in numerous activities in Heritage Park over the years, entered a one-year Use Permit with the City to occupy the Grande-Grossman House. Then Bayfest, Inc. was approved for an additional five-year lease, which has expired. Bayfest, inc. 'is asking to renew for another five years. Bayfest, Inc has been a stable tenant, makes lease payments on time, and makes the facility work for their purposes. Both the City and Bayfest, Inc. have benefited from their occupancy of the home and Bayfest has been an active participant in Heritage Park events and tours. PAST COUNCIL ACTION: The City Council approved Ordinance 021988 authorizing the City Manager to execute a five year lease agreement for the Grande-Grossman House in Heritage Park with Bayfest, Inc. on July 12, 1994. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Manager or his designee be authorized to enter into a five year lease with Bayfest, Inc. for the use of the Grande-Grossman House at a rate of $478 per month.

An ordinance amending Section 13-6, Plumbing Code, of the Code of Ordinances, City of Corpus Christi, by revising the standards for lawn irrigation systems, and; providing for penalties; providing for severance; and providing for publication. ISSUE: The City updates and adopts the current edition of the model building codes to protect the public's health, safety and general welfare. Additionally, the adoption of the current codes has a direct positive effect on the insurance rates established for construction and renovation of improvements within the jurisdiction by organizations such as the Community Rating Services, Inc. and the Insurance Services Office, Inc. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City generally updates its technical construction codes as the new codes are prepared by the model code organizations with which we are affiliated, i.e., the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the lntemational Association of Fire Chiefs, and the Southem Building Code Congress International, Inc. (SBCCI), or through its enforcement, finds improvements to the way we administer the codes. The National Fire Protection Association is the model code organization with which we are affiliated that writes, adopts, and publishes the National Electric Code, (NEC). The NEC is adopted and used by the vast majority of the municipalities in the country. The National Electric Code Committee of the NFPA acted upon the 1999 NEC during May 1998. The L999 NEC was issued by the Standards Council with an effective date of August 5, 1998. It is the latest edition of our locally adopted electric code. This proposed adoption is the city's effort to stay current with these nationally recognized and accepted model codes. The Southem Building Code Congress International, Inc. (SBCCI), is the model code organization with which we are affiliated that writes, adopts, and publishes the Standard Plumbing Code. The Standard Plumbing Code as a part of the Standard Code family is adopted and used by a large number of the municipalities in the country. The Board of Directors of the SBCCI acted upon the 1997 Plumbing Code in 1997. The city of Corpus Christi amended and adopted the Standard Code family in June of 1999 with an effective date of July 5, 1999. After the city adopted the plumbing code and staff has had an extended oppommity to work with the code, we have determined that the proposed amendments will improve the code and will assist with our overall mission of protecting the public's general health, safety, and welfare. 60 ADVISORY BOARD REVIEW: The Electrical Advisory Board reviewed and discussed in detail the 1999 NEC and the proposed changes to our local amendments. The Electrical Advisory Board recommended the adoption of the 1999 NEC with our proposed local amendments at its February 17, 2000 regular meeting. The Plumbing Mechanical Advisory Board reviewed and discussed in detail the local amendments to the 1997 Standard Plmbing Code beginning at the December 1999 meeting and ending with a recommendation to adopt the changes to the local amendments at its February I0, 2000 regular meeting. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: City staff along with the Electrical Advisory Board and the Plumbing Mechanical Advisory Board recommends that the City Council adopt the 1999 National Electric Code with local amendments and the amendments to the 1997 Standard Plumbing Code. Attached is a summary of the substantive changes between the 1996 National Electric Code and the 1999 National Electric Code including proposed changei to the local amendments, and proposed changes to the 1997 Standard Plumbing Code.

Orlando Salinas: A change of zoning from an "AB" Professional Office District with a "SP" Special Permit to a "B-4" General Business District on Club House Place, Lot 5, located on the south side of South Alameda SWeet, between University Drive and Claremore Slroet Planning Commission and Staffs Recommendation: Denied the "B-4" DisWict, and in lieu thereof, approved a Special Permit for a multi-purpose pavilion, meeting hall, swimming pool, baseball training facility, and pro shop, subject to a site plan and seven (7) conditions. Requested Council Action: Denial of the "B-4" DisWict, and in lieu thereof, approval of a Special Permit for a multi-purpose pavilion, meeting hall, swimming pool, baseball training facility, and pro shop, subject to a site plan and seven (7) conditions and adoption of the attached ordinance. PurnoseofRe~luest: To install batting cages and a baseball practice ~eld. Summary: The applicant has requested a change of zoning from an "AB" Professional Office District with a Special Permit to a "B-4" General Business District in order to amend the existing Special Permit to add baring cages at the rear of the property and a baseball practice field towards the front. It is the intent of the applicant to conduct youth baseball camps. Camp operations would also include indoor baring cages, a Pro Shop, and storage area in the existing 6,892 square foot building in the back. These uses would require an expansion of this building by 3,000 square fee~. The outdoor batting cages would be located on the southeast comer of the subject property. Abutting this location is the City's nursery (tree farm) on the east and the Oso Municipal Golf Course on the south. The nearest residential lot to the proposed location of the batting cages is approximately 540 feet across S. Alameda Street. The noise generated by the baring cages would be dissipated before it reaches the residential are~t At the northeast comer of the subject propeny (towards S. Alameda), the applicant proposes to install a baseball practice field for use during the daylight hours. The requested "B-4" District is not a district considered compatible with the area, especially with a children's center approximately 150 feet west of the subject property. The "B-4" District permits uses that are incompatible with the residential character of the area, i.e., bars, auto repair facilities, auto sales lots, hotels, motels, and unlimited signage. However, a modification of the Special Permit to permit the batting cages (indoor and outdoor), a baseball practice field, and a pro shop would be appropriate. The Special Permit should prohibit outside lighting, other than security lighting, on the practice field. Annlicant's Position: The applicant concurs with Staff and Planning Commission's recommendation. Notification: Prior to the date of this memorandum, fourteen (14) ~tices were mailed to the property owners within a 200-foot radius, of which none were returned in favor and was returned in opposition. The owner of the subject property submitted a letter in favor of the request. Pronosed Conditions: Planning Commission and Staff recommend the following conditions: USES: The only uses authorized by this Special Permit other than the permitted "AB" Professional Office district uses are us follows: Front meeting hall and a back hall pavilion facility available for general public rental. Alcoholic beverages and retail sales associated with these rentals is permitted.

Planned: a) Same as current. 1996 Traffic Count (24-hour, xveekdav, non=directionai): a) None available. Zonin~ History of Property: In May 1998, the subject property was denied a change of zoning fxom an "A-2" District to a "B-4" District, and in lieu thereof, was granted an "AB" District with a Special Permit for a mniti-purpose pavilion. Recent Surroundina Zonin~ Cases: In August 1995, the Planning Commission granted a conditional sign permit for a freestanding sign for Lot 3, located on the south side of S. Alameda Street and west of the subject property. Zonin~ Inventory: The subject property is the east half of a 9.82-acre tract of land zoned an "AB" District. The other half of the "AB" District is contains a children's rehabilitation center and a vacant building. West of the "AB" District is a 9.87-acre tract of land zoned an "A-2" District and developed with an 78 ,~ Zoning Report Case No. 0200-06 (Orlando Salinas) Page 3 apartment complex. The surrounding area is zoned an "R-I A" District that contains 643.48 acres of which the south portion is developed with a municipal golf course and the north portion is developed predominantly with single-family residences. Planning Staff An alvsis: General Characteristics and Background: The applicant has requested a change of zoning ~om an "AB" Professional Office District with a Special Permit to a "B-4" General Business District in order to amend the existing Special Permit to add batting cages at the rear of the property and a baseball practice field towards the front. It is the intent of the applicant to conduct youth baseball camps. Camp opemtious would also include indoor batting cages, a Pro Shop, and storage area in the existing 9,900 square foot building in the back. The outdoor batting cages would be located on the southeast comer of the subject property that abut the City's nursery (tree farm) on the east and the Oso Municipal Golf Course on the south. The nearest residential lot to the proposed location of the batting cages is approximately 540 feet across S. Alameda Street. The noise generated by the batting cages would be dissipated before it reaches the residential area. At the northeast comer of the subject property (towards S. Alameda), the applicaut proposes to install a baseball practice field for use during the daylight hours. The requested "B-4" District is not a district considered compatible with the area, especially with a children's center approximately 150 feet west of the subject property. The "B-4" Distririct permits uses that are incompatible with the residential character of the area, i.e., bars, auto repair facilities, auto sales lots, hotels, motels, and unlimited signage. However, a modification of the Special Permit to permit the batting cages (indoor and outdoor), a baseball practice field, and a pro shop would be appropriate. The Special Permit should prohibit outside lighting, other than security lighting, on the practice field. Conformity to the Comnrehensive Plan and Land Use Compatibility: Overall, the Comprehensive Plan Elements cannot 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 professional office uses. The requested "B-4" District is not consistent with the Plan's recommended land use. However, a low-intense use such as a baseball camp limited for the most part to the rear of the subject property, could be allowed. Potential Housin~ DensiW: Both the "AB" and "B-4" Districts permit a density of 36.30 dwelling units per acre or 168 units on the subject property. The change of zoning will not affect the density. Hei~ht/BulkJSetbacks/Etc.: Both the "AB" and "B-4" Districts require a from yard setback of twenty (20) feet. An "At!" District requires a side and rear yard setback often (10) feet each. A "B-4" District does not require a side or rear yard setback unless adjacent to a residential district where a setback often (10) feet is required. An "AB' Distrct limits the height to 45 feet, not to exceed three (3) stories. There are no building height limitations in the "B-4" District. 79 Zoning Repor~ Case No. 0200-06 (Orlando Salina~) Page 4 Pros: a) b) Cons: a) b) d) Simaa~e: An "AB" District permits one wall sign with an area not to exceed twenty (20) square feet. A freestanding sign with a height of fifteen (15) feet may be permitted with Planning Commission approval in lieu of the wall sign. The "B-4" District permits unlimited wall signs and freestanding signs if located behind the front yard setback. If the freestanding sign is to be located within the front yard setback, it is limited to one sign per street frontage with an area not to exceed forty (40) square feet and a height of 25 feet. Traffic: The proposed uses are estimated to generate approximately 114 daily trip ends that would access S. Alameda Street, an arterial, without traversing a residential area. S. Alameda Street as an arterial, is designed to accommodate larger volumes of traffic. Therefore, the traffic generated by the proposed and existing uses will not adversely impact the adjacent street system. Parkinp_jScreenin~: The halls are required to provided one off-street parking space for each 100 square feet of gross floor area or 155 off-street parking spaces for the 15,484 square feet of gross floor area_ The subject property has sufficient off-street parking area for the existing 12,484 square feet of floor area_ The proposed 3,000 square foot expansion will be required to comply with the parking regulations during the permitting phase. A standard screening fence with a height of not less than six (6) feet in height must be provided when a business or industrial use locates adjacent to a residential district. A screening fence is required along the south and east property lines. Costs to City: All of the infrastructure needed to service the subject properly and proposed use is in place and no cgsts to the City are anticipated. Platting: The subject property is a platted lot and further replatting is not required. (Ideas in support of the request.) The subject property has direct access to an arterial without traversing a residential area. The subject property does not abut a residential area, only a tree farm and a golf come. (Ideas in support of maintaining the currein zoning.) The existing "AB" District is consistent with the adopted Southeast Area Development Plan's adopted future land use map. The proposed uses can be accomplished by modifying the existing Special Permit. The permitted uses and signs would be disruptive to the residential area to the north of the subject property. The requested "B-4" District and uses are incousisteut with the adopted Southeast Area Development Plan and surrounding residential neighborhood. 8o ~ Zoning Report Case No. 0200-06 (Orlando Salinas) Page 5 Staff Recommendation: Denial of the "B-4" District and in lieu thereof, approval of a Special Permit for a multi-purpose pavilion, meeting hall, swimming pool, baseball training facility and pro-shop, subject to a site plan and the following conditions: USES: The only uses authorized by this Special Permk other than the permitted "AB" Professional Office District uses are as follow: a.

Authorizing and directing the City Manager to prepare a preliminary financing plan for a tax increment financing district pursuant to the Texas State Tax Code Sec. 311, and to schedule a presentation for Council consideration of the plan. B. Authorizing and directing the City Manager to send a letter to the Corps of Engineers stating the City's intent to proceed with the North Padre Island Storm Damage Reduction and Environmental Restoration Project. ISSUE: The North Padre Island Storm Damage Reduction and Environmental Restoration Project encompasses restoration of the beach area and protection of the Padre Island Seawall by the placement of additional sand on the beach which is to be taken from the dredging and channelization of Packery Channel under the project. This project was Federally authorized in Sec. 556 of the Water Resources Development Act of 1999 and is now being considered for funding authorization. The Corps of Engineers (COE) was required by the Federal action to conduct two surveys; (1) to determine if the project is environmentally acceptable and (2) to determine if the project is technically sound. In order to proceed with the second study, the COE needs a letter of intent from a local sponsor. Tax increment financing may be the key program which will allow this project to move forward. In order to begin the process to determine the appropriateness of tax increment financing, the staff is requesting that the Council authorize staff to prepare the preliminary financing plan required under State law and schedule the various steps in the process. REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: In order to begin the process toward tax increment financing and to issue a Notice of Intent to the COE, the City Council must so direct the staff. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council authorize, by motion, the beginning of the tax increment financing process and authorize a Letter of Intent to the COE. W. Thomas Utter Assistant City Manager 95 BACKGROUNDINFORMATION The North Padre Island Storm Damage Reduction and Environmental Restoration Project has been discussed and studied over a number of years. The project involves the placement of sand in front of the Padre Island Seawall to restore the beach and protect the seawall. The sand is to be taken from the dredging and channelization of a reopened Packery Channel (see Exhibit 1 for a map and one page project narrative). The project also consists of long jetties, walks, mitigation, public facilities, and reserve for long-term maintenance. The estimated cost of the project is approximately $30 million (see Exhibit 2). The project was included in Sec. 556 of the Water Resources Development Act of 1999. The Act also required the COE ~o undertake two studies: (1) to determine if the project is environmentally acceptable and (2) to determine if the project is technically sound. A relatively small amount of money has been made available for the studies. The COE is in the process of working on the studies and Senator Hutchison and Congressman Ortiz have asked that the $19.5 million Federal share be placed in the FY 2001 budget. The Corps of Engineers has a~ked for a Letter of intent to move forward from a local sponsor in conjunction with their study to determine if the project is technically sound. The local share of the project, which would be approximately $10.5 million, could potentially come from State grants, such as Coastal Erosion and/or be locally generated funds. Under State law, the most promising program in generation of significant dollars for this project would be tax increment financing. This type of financing was authorized by a State Constitutional Amendment. The basic theory of tax increment financing is that "if but not for some public improvement, a much higher tax receipt would not occur." In this particular case, we believe that completion of the project will result in significantly increased taxes through both greatly increased private investment and aE,tual increases in the existing tax value. In a report prepared for Nueces County in 1997, the firm of Hammer Slier George Associates determined that there would be a very large incremental property tax increase as a result of the project. Under State law, only cities can undertake increment financing, however, other taxing jurisdictions such as the county can join with the city. The only revenue that can go into a tax increment financing district are the additional taxes resulting from increases in tax value or new construction subsequent to creation of the tax increment zone. (Attached as Exhibit 3 is a tax increment financing flow chart showing the steps required to set up a tax increment financing district.) 96 CONCLUSION: The North Padre Island Storm Damage Reduction and Environmental Restoration Project has a great number of benefits to not only the City, but the County and the region. There already exists a large tax base behind the seawall and in the overall Padre Isles Subdivision. The protection of the seawall by placement of sand in front of the seawall is one of the major results of this project. The creation of additional beaches for tourist and recreational activities, along with the opening of Packer,/Channel,' which will provide further water exchange between the Laguna Madre, the Bay system, and the Gulf, together with great recreational opportunities, all appear to be extremely positive. Outside consultants who have reviewed the project for the County have found the project to be of great benefit. Staff believes that this project is an extremely exciting project and, working together with Nueces County and other interests, we believe that the project is not only feasible, but has tremendous economic development potential. We strongly recommend that the Council move forward with the tax increment financing district and authorize the Notice of Intent to the COE. 97 NorTh Padre istand Flood Protection & gnvffonmentat Restoration Proiec; The Padre Island Seawall provides tlood protection Corpus Christi Ship Channel caused the natural pass for public facilities and infrastructure on North Padre to close.

The probability of a storm hitting the coast near Corpus Christi and causing maior damage on the island in the next few years is high. Storm-related beacl~ erosion is a serious problem on North Padre Island and has resulted in an emergency situation where even a moderate tropical storm will cause serious damage including loss of public beaches.

ISSUE: Currently, the Commercial Paper Program (CPP) amount of $50 million is allocated among the three utilities' Capital Improvement Programs (CLIP) in amounts of $26,875,000 for Water, $18,465,000 for Wastewater, and $4,660,000 for Stormwater. These allocations at times impede the progress of some projects because these projects may be ready in one utility, but that utility may not have sufficient allocation to award the contract. Therefore, a reallocation of CPP must be performed. PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: The $50 million CPP authorized in November 1997. Council appropriated a total $50 million in February 1998in three commercial paper CIP funds for water, wastewater, and stormwater appmved capital expenditures. Council amended the appropriation in February 1999 to reallocate the $50 million among the three commemial paper CIP funds. Council amended the appropriation in September 1999 to reallocate the $50 million among the three commercial paper CIP funds and renewed appropriation of $14,330,000, which was released by issuance of long-term bonds. REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Council approval is needed to eliminate the three allocatic;/as lind establish one allocation. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the approval of the Ordinance which will eliminate the three allocations and create one allocation for the $50 million Commercial Paper Program. Acting Director of Finance Attachments: Attachment A - Background Information Attachment B - Ordinance 105 Attachment A BACKGROUND INFOR1VIATION In November 1997, the Council approved a $50 million Commercial Paper Program to provide interim financing for approved capital improvement projects in the City's combined utility system. Engineering contracts and other expenditures are encumbered against the commercial paper appropriation. Commercial paper is then only issued as needed to fund the cash expenditures. The commercial paper is refunded by long-term debt (Revenue Bonds) when the outstanding commercial paper reaches an economical size and the bond market is favorable. The $50 million of commemial paper authority was appropriated and allocated in February 1998 as follows: $21,300,000 - Commercial Paper Water CI? Fund 26,770,000 - Commemial Paper Wastewater CI? Fund 1.930.000 - Commercial Paper Stormwater CIP Fund $50,000,000 In February 1999, the appropriation was modified to reallocate the appropriation among the three commercial paper funds to reflect expected capital spending. This resulted in the following: $25,530,000 - Commercial Paper Water CII~ Fund 21,670,000 - Commercial Paper Wastewater CIP Fund 2,800,000 - Commemial Paper Stormwater CIP Fund $50,000,000 In September 1999, the appropriation was modified to reallocate the appropriation among the three commercial paper funds to reflect expected capital spending. This resulted in the following: $26,875,000 - Commercial Paper Water CIP Fund 18,465,000 - Commercial Paper Wastewater CIP Fund 4,660,000 - Commercial Paper Stormwater C[P Fund $50,000,000 When the CPP was implemented, the funding authorization was allocated based on the projects in the CI? at that time. Since that time, timelines have shifted and other considerations have affected Staffs ability to plan for awarding of contracts without havr,ng fo modify funding allocations. The two previous realloCations were the result of the need to move allocation authority among the three commercial paper CIP funds in order to award contracts. Eliminating these three allocations and creating one allocation, which would be used by all three utilities' Cl~,would greatly assist Staff in planning the projects. Staff will continue to record the expenditures in each of the three utility funds, which are maintained separately for accounting purposes. 106 ORDINANCE AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 023206, WHICH APPROPRIATED $50,000,000 FROM THE COMMERCIAL PAPER PROGAM TO THREE SEPARATE FUNDS, AND ORDINANCE NOS. 023557 AND 023781, WHICH CHANGED THE ALLOCATIONS IN THE THREE FUNDS, BY ELIMINATING SPECLFIC ALLOCATIONS TO EACH FUND AND CHEATING ONE ALLOCATION FOR THE COMMERCIAL PAPER PROGRAM TO BE INTERNALLY ALLOCATED TO ANY OF THE THREE FUNDS AS NECESSARY TO FUND VARIOUS ELIGIBLE WATER, WASTEWATER, AND STORMWATER PROJECTS ON THE FY97-98, FY 98-99 AND FY99-00 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT LISTS, AS AMENDED BY FUTURE ADOPTED CAPITAL BUDGETS, NOT TO EXCEED THE $50,000,000 TOTAL APPROPRIATION, AS RENEWED FROM TIME TO TIME; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.

My case in point is in Debra Gareia~ who worked the Juvenile Assessment Center on 01-22-2000. At approximately 12:33 a.m., we received numerous juveniles simultaneously. Debra was able to maintain her professional dignity. Your agency offers each juvenile an opportunity to fill out information about themselves. Debra managed to review these forms, and soon discovered that one of these juveniles had suicidal tendencies and a history of suicide attempts. I interviewed the child in question, and said child made a direct statement to me that she did in fact harbor some feelings to end her life. This matter had all the makings of a catastrophe, for the family in question. Through her professionalism, empathy and patience, Debra facilitated the successful resolution of this situation. - I applaud your efforts and am ready campaign, in favor of keeping your agency fully funded and in operation.

CITY PHILOSOPHY FOR A THIRD MUNICIPAL GOLF FACILITY It is the primary intent of the City to enter into a long-term lease agreement based upon the terms of the successful proposal for the financing, design, construction and management of this new third municipal golf facility. Aside from this basic intent, the City also considers the following factors to be critical to the overall success of this project. Public Service: As a municipal facility, this golf facility must offer a satisfying golfing experience to the entire City of Corpus Christi golfing public. The City is vitally interested in proposals which guarantee a high level of public service and affordable, quality outdoor recreation to the general public. 2. Financial Capability: It is extremely important that the Proposer demonstrate the financial capability to make the needed golf facility improvements.

Construction Management Service: tt is anticipated that the successful Proposer will provide onsite construction management service during the construction phase as well as initiate maintenance operations as construction progresses through the planting stages. Operational Capability: Experience in operating successful golf facilities is a major area ofconceru to the City and will be reviewed with respect to the following factors: Public Relations and Marketing: As a service oriented entity, the City is committed to maintaining excellent relationships with its patrons and the general public.

Golf Facility Management: The Proposer will be expected to provide adequate experience indicating the successful management of the various aspects of the business to include employee relations, retail sales, food and beverage sales, etc. 5.

Service to the Entire Public: The City is also firmly committed to maintaining service to the entire golfing public, including senior, women and junior golfers. For this reason, Proposer should recognize that fee discount and pricing strategies must b~ a part of their proposal. c. Service to Citizens: Proposer should explain their procedures and technology used to take reservations for tee times and tournaments. Cooperation with School Golf Teams: Proposer should plan to develop satisfactory agreements with the area school districts to allow their golf teams opportunities for practice and competitive tournaments in the same manner as is currently done in the other City golf facilities.

HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE AND SITE USES The City of Corpus Christi with a population of 257,453 is the county seat of Nueces County. The City lies on Corpus Christi Bay, an inlet of the Gulf of Mexico. It is located approximately 130 miles from San Antonio and 200 miles from Austin on 1-37 and 1-35. Corpus Christi to Mexico via Brownsville is approximately 160 miles and via Laredo is 4 161 about 145 miles. The Corpus Christi Intemational Airport provides daily air service connections to Corpus Christi. Known as the "Sparkling City by the Sea", because of its tropical climate and numerous beaches, Corpus Christi is the second most popular vacation destination in Texas. With local attractions such as the U.S.S. Lexington World War II aircra~ carrier, the Texas State Aquarium, numerous arts and science museums etc., the City attracts between five and six million visitors a year. The City also supports a strong industrial and military economy. Nearly fifty thousand area residents are employed directly or indirectly by the local industrial companies or by one of the three military installations located in the Corpus Christi metropolitan area. The City of Corpus Christi has a long tradition of golfing interests by its residents and visitors to the area. The two municipal golf facilities are very popular and in heavy demand for tee times and tournaments. The Oso Beach Municipal Golf Come, located at 5601 S. Alameda, was built in 1939. It is a Par 70, 18 hole regulation course that includes a fully stocked golf shop, putting and chipping greens and a snack bar. The course averages about 65,000 rounds per year and has been the site of four Texas PGA Championships. The other municipal golfing facility is the Gabe Lozano Sr. Golf Center that is located at 4401 Old Brownsville Road and was built hi 1965. It is a Par 72, 18 hole regulation course with a 9 hole executive course that also includes a fully stocked golf shop, lighted driving range, practice putting green and snack bar. The 18 hole regulation course averages about 56,000 rounds of golf per year, and the 9 hole executive course averages about 23,000 rounds of golf per year. The site for this proposed third golf facility is composed of part of the south 308 acres of the City of Corpus Christi J.C. Elliott Landfill located at 7001 Ayers. The site has a smooth, rolling terrain with some creek habitat located along the northem boundary of the prop6rty in the form of Oso Creek. The existing access to the site is provided through the landfill interior roadway system as well as from State Highway 286 or Chapman Ranch Road on the east side of the site. Future access to the site will also be provided by the proposed extension of the Cross Town Freeway. The current zoning designation for the property is FR (Farm-Rural District) which allows the land to be used for public parks and golf courses. About 20 acres of the site are now being used for the City compost and mulch operations. The City intends to utilize the 308 acres for four distinct purposes. The uses include: * Providing areas for cover soil excavation operations associated with the near future closing operations for the Elliott Landfill. · Providing an area for the City compost and mulch operations to continue to operate. · Providing areas for bird watching and other wildlife observation activities to occur. · Providing an area for the City's third golf facility to be built. One of the principal reasons that the City acquired the property was to have access to cover soil for the land fill operations. The excavation of cover soil operations as needed for the closing of the landfill could be designed to take place in areas related to the construction of the golf facility. These areas would consist of ponds, lagoons and other topographical features that would be incorporated as part of the final course design. The consulting engineers that are associated with the landfill closure project are working on the calculations for the specific quantities of cover soil that they anticipate will be needed for the landfill closing operations. The existing City compost and mulch operations will need to be expanded to meet the demands for service in the future as the City continues to grow. Therefore, in addition to the current 20 acres that are currently in use for this operation, the City proposes to set aside another 30 acres for this operation to expand into. These existing operations may be relocated to another area of the site in order to facilitate the presentation and operation of the proposed golf facility. The next proposed use of the site has to do with introducing the Eco-Tourism related activities to the site. Some of the fastest growing tourism sectors in Texas are Eco- Tourism activities that are associated with bird watching and other wildlife observation activities. The Oso Creek corridor that forms the northern boundary of the site will be reserved for the future development of a trails system similar to the nature trails found in the very popular and highly used Hans and Pat Suter Wildlife Refuge located in south Corpus Christi. The final use of the site would be for the development of a third municipal golf facility in a Public/Private Partnership between the City and the successful Proposer. This course would have the same type of golfing amenities as the other two City facilities. H. BACKGROUND INFORMATION The City has the land necessary for the development of an 18 hole regulation golf course with a driving range and other site amenities. Total land available for the construction of the course will be approximately 225 acres. The 225 acres is the remaining land parcel once the other City uses for the 308 acres are taken ihto~ccount. Proposals submitted should not consider any land cost as part of the proposal. The City will provide the approximately 225 acres for the project. The City currently owns and operates two golf facilities. The operation of these facilities will not be considered as part of this proposal. The City will only consider proposals for the turn-key financing, design, construction, equipping and operation of the third municipal golf facility in the form of a lease agreement or similar agreement. The development of a high quality, well maintained and affordable municipal golf facility without the issuance of public debt is a pivotal issue to ~%~ the City.
