Longoria, J. Longoria voting "Aye"; Cooper and Scott absent. Mayor Neat referred to Item 18, and a motion was made, seconded and passed to reopen the public hearing on the following zoning case: 18. Case No. 0200-07. Melhem Ibrahim: A change of zoning from a "B-I" Neighborhood Business District to a "B-4" General Business District on Osage Addition, Block 2, Lot 8, located on the west side of Everhart Road, between Bumey and Janssen Drives. City Secretary Chapa said the Planning Commission and staff recommended denial of the "B-4" District. He noted that this case had been postponed from the March 281h Council meeting. Mr. Michael Gunning, Director of planning and Development, gave a computer presentation on this case. He said the applicant was requesting this zoning change in order to eliminate the restriction on the percent of alcohol sales that the establishment is allowed under state law. That law states that if an establishment's sale of alcohol exceeds 75% of the gross sales, it is classified as a bar. He said the facility is currently operated as a restaurant/bar known as Ropers. Mr. Gunning noted that in 1984 the "B-l" District was amended to exclude bars, lounges, and taverns as a permitted use to make the district more compatible to adjacent residential uses. Mr. Gunning then described the neighboring properties and he said staff was concerned that if "B-4" was approved for this block, there could be a domino effect which could result in other "B-4" uses, such as auto-related uses and unlimited signage. Mayor Neat called for comments from the public. Mr. Frank l_,aTnrte, representing the applicant, Mr. Ibrahim, said they were not looking to change the business or increase signage. He said the previous ordinance contained language that said an establishment was in compliance if its kitchen was open during all operating hours. He said in 1996 that lunghuge was deleted and replaced with the language regarding the 75% provision. He said Ropers has the kitchen open during operating hours but they cannot meet the 75% requirement due to competition from other restaurants in the area. He said they would welcome a special permit to specify that the signage and square footage would remain the same. In response to Council Member Betty Jean Longoria, Mr. Tom Utter, Assistant City Manager for Development Services, said that if granted the "B-4" zoning would allow a bar in that location. City Attomey Bray stated that if the Council granted a special permit to one business as Mr. Lazarte was requesting, the city would end up discriminating against any other business the city denied a special permit to--he said they needed to uniformly enforce the 75% requirement. Responding to Council Member Cooper, Mr. Bray said that at one time the subject property had a nonconforming use to continue operation but that use lapsed because they were out of business 11 Minutes Regular Council Meeting April 11, 2000 Page 12 for more than one year; now the business fails fully under the ordinance. Mr. Bray added that contractual zoning is prohibited. Ms. Kay Noyes said she lives within waiking distance of the subject property and she is in favor of keeping the business as a restaurant but not a bar. Mr. Methem Ibmhim said the business has been family-operated since 1978. He said that in 1981 they began giving food to customers for flee so they would not go out into the streets intoxicated. He reiterated that they do not intend to change their business and they have invested much money into it over the years. He also discussed the increased competition f~om "chain" restaurants. Mr. Jetty Hunsaker said he owns Everhart Plaza (a professional building) near the subject property. He said "B-4" was inappropriate for that area because a convenience store could be located on that lot. He said Ropers has become very popular, which has resulted in overflow parking on several adjacent lots. He said he and the other property owners want Mr. Ibrahim to be successful but problems have arisen from that business. Ms. Beverly Agomuo, 4654 Mildred, said she lives west of the subject property and she owns vacant property to the south. She questioned how the neighbors' property value would be affected if the "B-4" zoning was granted. She said it is very difficult for a neighborhood and a bar to be compatible. Mr. Gunning replied that if the "B-4" was granted, the other property owners on that block could come in and seek the same zoning. Mrs. Longoria made a motion to close the public heating, seconded by Mr. Scott, and passed. Mr. Scott then made a motion to concur with the Planning Commission' s recommendation to deny the "B4" District; seconded by Ms. Cooper. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council and the motion passed by the following vote: Neai, Colmenero, Cooper, Garrett, Gonzales, Kinnison, B. Longoria, J. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye." Mayor Neal referred to Item 19, and a motion was made, seconded and passed to open the public hearing on a right-of-way (ROW) issue. Mr. Angel Escobar, Director of Engineering Services, explained that on December 14, 1999, the Council approved ordinances vacating and abandoning portions of Oso, Palo Alto and Fitzgerald street ROW. He said staff was requesting that those ordinances be repeaied so that those ROW portions can be vacated and abandoned in one ordinance aiong with the ROW portion of Zorra Street. Mr. Utter said those streets were the location of an old concrete plant. He further explained that the city will be compensated for the total fair market vaiue fee by Mr. Dusty Durdll's donation of three vacant properties which have a combined square footage of 18,373 square feet located approximately equai distance between Blucher Park and South Bluff Park. He said environmental 12 Minutes Regular Council Meeting April 1 I, 2000 Page 13 groups have said they will plant native vegetation on the vacant properties, which can then serve as a continuous flyway between the two parks, which are active birding sites. No one appeared in opposition to Item 19. Mr. Colmenero made a motion to close the public hearing, seconded by Mrs. Longoria, and passed. Mr. Chapa polled the Council for their votes: 19.a. ORDINANCE NO. 024009 Ordinance vacating and abandoning 92,285 square feet of unimproved street fight-of-way, comprised of portions of Oso, Paio Alto, Fitzgerald and Zorra Streets right-of-way north of west Broadway and railroad fight-of-way; repealing Ordinance Nos. 023870, 023871, and 023872 passed 12/14/99; requiring owner, William R. Durrill, to comply with the specified conditions and replat the property within 180 days at owner's expense. An emergency was declared and the foregoing ordinance passed by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero, Cooper, Garrett, Gonzales, ginnison, B. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye"; J. Longoria absent. 19.b. M2000-1 l0 Motion authorizing acceptance of Lot 1, a portion of Lots 2 and 3, Block 10, South Bluff Addition as fair market value for the closing of portions of Oso Street, Palo Alto Street, Fitzgerald Street and Zorra Street. The foregoing motion passed by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero, Cooper, Garrett, Gonzales, Kinnison, B. Longofia, and Scott voting "Aye"; J. Longofia absent. Mayor Neal recessed the regular Council meeting for the meeting of the Corpus Christi Industrial Development Corporation. The Mayor then called for a short recess. Upon reconvening, Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 21, Airbome Freight Corporation project. There were no comments from the audience. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows: 21. RESOLUTION NO. 024010 Resolution approving issuance of bonds by Corpus Christi Industrial Development Corporation for the Airborne Freight Corporation project at the Corpus Christi International Airport. Minutes Regular Council Meeting April 11, 2000 Page 14 The foregoing resolution passed by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero, Cooper, Garrett, Kinnison, B. Longoria, J. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye"; Go~nT~!es absent. Mayor Neat opened discussion on Item 22, reservoir operating plan. There were no comments from the audience. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows: 22.a. ORDINANCE NO. 024011 Ordinance amending the FY99-00 CIP Budget adopted by Ordinance No. 023703 by adding the reservoir operating plan update/flood release model as a project to the water program and the effluent re-use study as a project to the wastewater program. An emergency was declared and the foregoing ordinance passed by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero, Cooper, Garrett, ConTales, Kinnison, B. Longoria, J. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye ." 22.b. M2000-111 Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute an engineering services contract with HDR Engineering Inc. in the amount of $516,340 for update of the reservoir operating plan flood release model and the effluent re-use study. The foregoing motion passed by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero, Cooper, Garrett, Gonzales, Kinnison, B. Longoria, J. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye." Mayor Neat opened discussion on Item 23, wireless telephone services. There were no comments from the audience. Responding to Council Member John Longoria, Mr. Ogilvie Gericke, MIS Director, gave a brief computer presentation to explain this item. He said that currently the city has approximately 450 wireless telephones with an annual cost of $180,000. Staff went out for bids and received proposals from SOL Communications, Southwestern Bell, Sprint PCS, and U.S. Cellular. Those bids were evaluated using the following criteria: airtime cost - 40%; conversion cost - 15%; coverage - 25%; disaster recovery - 15%; and technical support - 5%. Mr. Gericke said that Southwestern Bell received the highest number of points and also submitted the lowest bid at $142,150. Mr. Gericke said that Southwestem Bell is proposing to use both a Nokia 5120 (digital) and the 918 (analog) phones. He said there will be no cost to convert the city' s current analog phones to the new system and SWB will provide new digital phones at no cost to the city; however, there will 14 Minutes Regular Council Meeting April 11, 2000 Page 15 be a small charge for bag phones and installation. He added that there is no monthly service charge and he described the monthly usage fees. Mr. Geficke said the phones will offer many more features, such as call forwarding, voice mail, call waiting, three-way calling, and incoming/outgoing call restriction. He said the is an optional upgrade to the paging capability at an extra cost in the digital coverage area only of Nueces County. Mr. Colmenero asked why the city wanted to retain some analog services. Mr. Garcia said the city has a wide variety of cellular phone usage, from analog phones in vehicles to very mobile digital phones. Mr. Kinnison asked about the home area, which Mr. Gericke described using a map. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows: 23. M2000-112 Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute an agreement with Southwestern Bell Wireless for wireless telephone services and equipment. The one-year agreement will total approximately $142, 150. The foregoing motion passed by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero, Cooper, Garrett, Gonzales, Kinnison, B. Longofia, J. Longofia, and Scott voting "Aye." Mayor Neal announced the executive session, pursuant to Texas Government Code Section 551.071, regarding legal advice on actions by the City affecting disposal and revenues at the new and existing landfills. He said the other two executive sessions listed on the agenda had been withdrawn. Cascs against thc City of Corpus Christi ct al in thc Unitcd Statcs District Court for thc Southc..

The Council went into executive session. The Council returned from executive session. Mayor Neal called for the City Manager's report. Mr. Garcia said the next bond program public hearing will be held April 12th at 6 p.m. at the Northwest Senior Center, and next Tuesday the Council is scheduled to have a joint meeting at noon that was requested by the Planning ]5 Minutes Regular Council Meeting April 11, 2000 Page 16 Commission. He also announced that the city has taken its full authorization of water from Lake Texana since accepting the Mary Rhodes Pipeline in December 1999. The Mayor said the issues of the road conditions and speed limit on FM 2444 were brought before the Metropolitan Planning Orgar~iTatjon GVIPO) during their recent meeting by Mr. Kinnison and several concerned citizens. Mr. Kinnison said their concerns were well received and he noted that Mr. Billy Parks, District Engineer for the Texas Depamnent of Transporlition, said TXDOT was working diligently with the MPO on the issue. Mr. Kinnison said there has also been increased traffic enforcement on FM 2444. Mr. Garcia said staff will provide additional information. The Mayor also referred to the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) quarterly slims report provided by staff. He suggested that the format of the report be modified similar to the reports about the 1986 bond projects. The Mayor then called for Council concerns and reports. Dr. Gonzales requested that an additional public hearing on the 2000 bond program be held at Moody High School. City Secretary Chapa said he spoke with Mr. Van Matre from Moody and possible dates are May 10th, May 1 lth, and May 31st. He said it appears that May 10th may be the most feasible date. Dr. Gonzales referred to an article in the local newspaper about concems raised by the General Services Administration (GSA) regarding the "Orion's Belt" sculpture, which is scheduled to be situated on Shoreline Boulevard adjacent to the new federal courthouse. He said GSA was concerned about the safety of that sculpture during high winds or hurricanes. Mr. Utter said the contract required that a structural engineer sign off on the sculpture, and GSA also offered to sign off on it. Mr. Garcia said staff packaged up all the presentations they made to the Council, along with all of the designs and engineering studies and answered GSA's questions in the same way they were answered to the Council. He noted that the contract with the artist will be on the Council agenda on April 251h. A discussion ensued about safety issues, aesthetics, and the sculpmre's location. Mr. Colmenero said the Council had made five appointments that day to the Pipeline Review Panel, which he said needs to become more active. Mr. Scott thanked staff for instailing additional landscaping in the median on Padre Island. He and Mr. Garrett also asked about the slims of the water storage tank for the island. Mr. Escobar said city staff will install the large pumps and the tank will be available in late May or early June, which will result in better water pressure. Mr. Scott also asked about the legality of putting debris in front of a person's house. Mr. Garcia said it is not illegal but on May 9th staff will be presenting the second part of the proposed changes to the solid waste ordinance, which addresses that issue. Mr. Garrett said the Council had received a letter from Apollo Towing regarding towing fees. Mr. Garcia replied that the Police Department conducted a comprehensive analysis of towing fees in different Texas cities and based on that information, they are recommending that no changes be made in the city's current rate structure. However, there have been changes in fuel prices and taxi Minutes Regular Council Meeting April 11, 2000 Page 17 and towing companies have petitioned the city to make substantial rate increases. He said fuel prices should be stabilized by this summer and he suggested that they walt for that to occur before they make any long-term adjustments in rate prices. Mrs. Longoria said a member of the public had raised the issue of the skate park during the Council meeting. She asked about the status of that project and when the Council would discuss it. Mr. Garcia replied that the skate park, which Mr. Longoria has promoted, has received a lot of publicity. He said it is not in the city' s capital improvement program (CIP) but staff has committed to several groups that they will investigate it. Mr. Dan Whitworth, Assistant Director of Park and Recreation, said that Mr. Carlos Mendez, landscape architect, has researched the skate park issue by looking at the city's park system to identify some possible suitable sites. He added that the Park and Recreation Advisory Board voted to support the concept of a skate park but a location has not been specified. Mr. Gareia said if they are going to proceed with a skate park, it needs to go into the city's CIP process. He said further study would be needed. Mr. Longoria said it is not the intent of the Skate Park Association to ask the city to build anything. He said they know the city is strapped for money and all along they wanted to develop a public-private parmership. He said they had a public meeting which was attended by about 100 people in which many questions were raised. Mr. Longoria said the plan they laid out would be to ask the city whether it could help the group design a park and whether an appropriate location could be provided. He discussed the importance of the skate park' s design. Mr. Longoria then made a motion to ask the City Manager to develop a request for proposals (RFP) to see what the cost would be to design a skate park; seconded by Mr. Kinnison. Responding to Mrs. Longoria, Mr. Longoria said the skate park would be built by construction companies and it would be a gift to the city. Mr. Bray added that there would be potential liability similar to the city's other parks. In reply to Dr. Gonzales, Mr. Gareia said the Engineering Department staff would put a package together and bid it as a professional services contract. Dr. Gonzales said he was concerned that the skate park project was circumventing the process. He said he thought this project was needed but he noted that in the upcoming bond issue, renovations to existing parks was cut by $3 million from the first bond proposal. Dr. Gonzales questioned where the city will get $7,000 (the estimated amount to design the park). Following additional discussion among the Council members, City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes on Mr. Longofia's motion, and it failed to pass by the following vote: Neal, Kinnison, J. Longoria. and Scott voting "Aye"; Colmenero, Cooper, Garrett, Gonzales, and B. Longoria voting "No." Mr. Colmenero requested information about the effect of increased fuel prices on the city' s fleet. Responding to Mr. Scott, Mayor Neat said that Flour Bluff High School' s Navy Junior ROTC 17 Minutes Regular Council Meeting April 11, 2000 Page 18 has been invited to an upcoming Council meeting so they can be honored for winning their fourth national championship. Dr. Gonzales said 72 young people will be recognized for their upcoming trip to Dallas to compete in Odyssey of the Mind. Mayor Neal said he did not want to end the Council meeting with the public perception that the skate park project was dead. Mr. Garrett also said he did not want to send a message to the community that the Council does not support the skate park. Mr. Scott asked the Council members who voted against the motion what they think the next step should be regarding the park. Dr. Gonzales said that after the Council votes against an issue, it is over. He said Mr. Longoria and supporters of the skate park should go through the process to develop it. Mr. Longofia appealed to Mr. Garrett and Ms. Cooper to support the skate park. He said it is important for the city to act in its official capacity to coordinate the RFP process. Ms. Cooper said she would be much more comfortable voting for the design of the park if there was a firm commitment on behalf of a certain number of companies or individuals that if the design is feasible they will pay for it. She said she does not want to give the perception that the city will fund the skate park. Mr. Longoria agreed that there are many questions that are unanswered and he said they are merely asking what it could cost to design a park. Mayor Neat asked the City Manager and staff to bring back an RFP to the Council for design only of a skate park. He asked if there were any objections from the Council, and there were none. The Mayor were on to say that when the city annexed the land around J.P. Luby Park, it assumed some responsibilities for beach patrol and beach security. He said he has been approached with a question about the parking fees that are paid to the county that are going to beaches that are now in the city' s control. He asked if the city should require a permit for the costs associated with events such as a sand sculpture contest. He noted that the city has a new policy in which overtime costs are paid by organizations when they hold festivals on city property. Following a discussion, Mr. Garcia said staff will provide a response to the Mayor's question. There being no further business to come before the Council, Mayor Neat adjourned the Council meeting at 6:23 p.m. on April 11, 2000. 18 MINUTES CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS Bond Program Public Hearing April 12, 2000 6:10 p.m. Mayor Samuel L. Neat Jr.* Mayor Pro Tem Mark Scott Council Members: Javier D. Colmenero* Henry Garrett Dr. Arnold ConTales Rex A. Kinnison Betty Jean Longoria John Longoria Melody Cooper Ci_ty Staff: City Manager David R. Garcia Deputy City Manager George Noe Assistant City Attorney Jay Reining City Secretary Armando Chnpa Recording Secretary Raehelle P. Ram6n Mayor Pro Tem Scott called the hearing to order at the Northwest Senior Center. City Secretary Chapa called the roll and verified that the necessary quorum of the Council was present. Mr. Scott thanked those who were present for attending the second of five public hearings concerning the 2000 bond program for the city. He said the format of the hearing that night included an overview of the bond program by staff followed by public comment. Deputy City Manager Noe gave a detailed computer presentation of the bond program, including the properly tax proposals and the three sales tax proposals. *Mayor Neat arrived at 6:20 p.m. He then called for public comment. Mr. A.C. Johnson said it is going to be difficult to get northwest residents to support the bond program because there are no items in the program that are located in the northwest. He said the Northwest Branch Library needs to be expanded and they need a golf course and drainage improvements. In addition, the 1986 bond program has not been completed. Mayor Neal pointed out that the bond program does contain items in the northwest, such as the FM 624 and McKinzie Road projects. Mr. Johnson went on to say that the seawall needs to be repaired but the multi-purpose arena is unnecessary. Mr. Kinnison said the bond program contains projects in areas throughout the city that should be substantially completed in three years. He said since there are so many unmet needs, the Council will need to go back to the voters in three years for another bond program which could include the expansion of the Northwest Library. Mrs. Longoria said she was supportive of the bond program but she was concemed about the 19 Minutes Bond Program Public Hearing April 12, 2000 Page 2 projects that are not included because there was no guarantee in writing that those projects will be included in an upcoming bond program. She commented that a 1997 bond program, called the Community Progress Parmership, contained too many projects and was not approved by the voters. Mr. Scott said the original 2000 bond proposal presented to Council contained almost $53 million in projects, including the expansion of the Northwest Library in the sixth year of the program. The Council decided that in order to make the program more feasible, they should limit the number of projects and the time period in which they would be completed; consequently, this $29 million, three-year program is being proposed. Mr. Virgil Hurst, School Board President of Calallen ISD, said he and other people recognize that the city has many needs and they hope that a means can be found to address those needs. Mr. Hector DelTorro, a member of the Tuloso-Midway ISD School Board, agreed that repairs to the seawall are needed. He said Mrs. Longoria, the Council representative for District 1, has heard complaints about the needed projects. He said the Council should consider removing the arena proposal from the ballot. Mr. Scott pointed out that each item will be voted on separately. Ms. Lisa Hancock, a member of the Leadership Corpus Christi class, said she was optimistic about the bond program. Judge Manuel Bailales said he was appearing as a private citizen and not as a judge. He said he has lived in Annaville for 21 years and he voted for the 1986 bond program because it contained projects in the northwest. However, he said nothing was done with that program for a long time and the Leopard Street improvements are still not completed. As a result, he said there is a great measure of distrust in the community. He expressed concem that there are more projects on the south side in this proposed bond package. Judge Bailales said he would like to say he will support the 2000 bond program but in the past things have been promised but not delivered. Mr. Kirmison said the Council needs to get information out to the public about how much will be spent in each district. Mayor Neat said that none of the current members were sitting on the Council in 1986. He said this Council has worked very hard to complete the 1986 bond program; in addition, some programs such as Leopard Street have increased in scope from the original proposals. The Mayor also discussed the need for the arena, which will be used for many different purposes, such as graduations, sporting events, and large conventions. In addition, there is a cost savings by locating it next to the convention center and building it at the same time that facility is expanded. *Mr. Colmenero arrived at 7:10 p.m. Mr. Warren Albrecht, President of the Northwest Business Association (NWBA), said they supported the county bond proposal in 1999. He said they would like to have a golf course located in the northwest. He said they need to educate the voters and encourage them to participate in this bond election. He agreed that the library, the golf course, and drainage needs are a concern. 20 Minutes Bond Program Public Hearing April 12, 2000 Page 3 Ms. Anna Mercado-Flores, a board member of the NWBA, thanked Mrs. Longoria for working to identify the needs in the northwest area. She agreed that a better listing is needed of the projects that are planned for the northwest. Mr. Paul Hanna, also a member of Leadership Corpus Christi, said their class project is to support the sales tax initiatives. He said valid points have been made during the hearing about the arena project that have not been discussed by the media. He said many other cities have passed an economic development sales tax and Corpus Christi is lagging behind in that area~ Mr. Dan Viola, Athletic Director at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, said the university has a lot of interest in the arena project and he discussed the importance of having a larger facility like that. He said if the entities are already in place that will use the facility, they can provide the revenue to pay the operational costs. Mayor Neat said the comments that were made that evening indicate that the Council and staff still have work to do to disseminate information about the 2000 bond program. Mrs. Longoria said the Council is trying to educate the citizens. She said the arena is needed and she noted that the convention center is too small to host another Texas Municipal League state convention. Mr. Angel Escobar, Director of Engineering Services, discussed the Leopard Street project as well as other capital improvement projects in the northwest, such as drainage and road projects. Dr. Gonzales said five concems that were raised during the evening's hearing were the library, golf come, drainage, Leopard Street, and parks. He said that when people go out to vote, they should look at the separate items on the ballot. He said the arena is very important to the economy of this area, as is the economic development sales tax. Dr. Gonzales said it is the Council's job to sell each item individually and as a unit and he encouraged citizens to continue to express their opinions. Mr. Garrett said he was concerned that people he respects say they do not irast the Council. He said they are trying to do what is right and balance the bond program out so it benefits all areas of the city. He also encouraged people to give the Council their input. Mayor Neal said the next bond program public hearing will be held on April 261h at Grant Middle School, followed by hearings on May 10th at Moody High School, May 17th at Flour Bluff High School, and May 22nd at the Bayfront Plaza Convention Center. There being no further business to come before the Council, Mayor Neat adjourned the hearing at 7:40 p.m. on April 12, 2000. 21 AGENDA MEMORANDUM RECOMMEDATION: (A) Ordinance appropriating $85,739 from the Reserve for Capital Outlay in the No. 5110 Maintenance Service Fund to purchase equipment and mending the FY99/00 Budget, adopted by Ordinance No. 023702, to increase appropriations by $85,739 in the No. 5110 Maintenance Service Fund.

Stevens Water Treatment Plant and Holly Road Pumping Plant: Aitemate Power Supplies (Project #8094 and f~8016). PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: November 10. 1998 - Approval of the contract for engineering services in the amount of $534,000 with Onyx Engineering, Inc. (M98-382) PRIOR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION: March 4, 1999 - Award of Amendment No. I to Onyx Engineering, Inc. in the amount of $14,800 for design and spedfication of diesel generators for Holly Road and Savage Lane Pump Stations. July 14, 1999 - Award of Amendment No. 2 to Onyx Engineering, Inc. in the amount of $4,950 for modification of plans, specifications and contract documents. November 19. 1999 - Award of Amendment No. 3 to Onyx Engineering, inc. in the amount of $8,000 for additional design options. FUTURE COUNCIL ACTION: Approval of required construction contracts. PROJECT OVERVIEW: Background: TNRCC regulations require that "Sufficient emergency power must be provided to deliver a minimum of 0.35 gallons per minute (g.p.m.) per connection to the distribution system in the event of the loss of normal power supply.' The required flow of 0.35 gpm/connection results in a minimum regulatory treatment requirement of approximately 35 million gallons per day (mgd). The design of O. N. Stevens WTP provides a minimum capacity of approximately 48 to 50 mgd per treatment train. Previous studies revealed that altemate power supplies are needed at the ONSVVTP and the Holly Road (water) Pumping Plant (HRPP) to provide the required system reliability for water customers. Analysis and design of the alternative power supply has resulted in a determination that the water pumping plants are more closely related to the ability of the distribution system to deliver the minimum capacities and maintain the required minimum pressure than originally thought. An assessment of the reliability of the water pumping plants must be completed pdor to development of recommended improvements. At the present time, electrical power supplied by Central Power and Light (CPL) is the primary power source for the City's water pumping plants. This is supplemented by a secondary or altemate electrical supply feeder from a second CPL substation to minimize the likelihood of power failure. While a secondary power feeder from another substation greatly minimizes the likelihood of power failure, TNRCC does not deem this as acceptable for meeting their emergency power supply requirement. A contract summary of the services to be provided is attached as Exhibit B. FEE: The negotiated total fee for the services to be performed is $30,000. H:\HOME\KEVINS\GEN\WATER\STEVENS~ALTPOWER%AMD4B'~.EXA Page 1 of 1 CONTRACT SUMMARY SCOPE: The Preliminary Phase of the Scope of Services attached as Exhibit A to the'contract is amended by adding the South Staples and Padre island Pump Stations as a Phase 1 Assessment of reliability and cost assessment. The definition of O. N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant for this assessment includes the: 1. River Pumping Station; 2. Holly Road Pump Station; 3. South Staples Pump Station; and .. 4. Padre island Pump Station. The assessment address the electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic portions of the pumping systems. The investigation will include: 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. current operating discipline; energy usage; CPL electrical rates, tariffs, & contracts; equipment maintenance; equipment age; safety issues; and currently programmed future projects/studies. The Engineer will address: 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. elimination of the energy inefficient eddy current drives; replacement of 1950 vintage switchgear; evaluation of hydraulic and mechanical efficiencies of current pumping systems; evaluation of operating discipline for the most efficient operation of each facility; replacement versus retrofitting of existing facilities; use of emergency generation capabilities to negotiate improved energy pricing; contingency plans for equipment failure; and coordination of controls and instruments with the City's SCADA Engineer. FINAL PRODUCT: The Phase I facility assessment and operating discipline will result in the development of recommendations for a future contract amendment for Phase 2 services. Phase 2 will result in the development of an overell long-term plan with recommendations and cost estimates for the O. N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant including the River Pumping Station, Holly Road Pump Station, South Staples Pump Station, and Padre Island Pump Station.

FUTURE COUNCIL ACTION: Council will be required to: 1. authorize the acquisition of these parcels and expenditure of funds from the Water Capital Projects Fund (Commercial Paper); and 2. authorize the approval of any other parcels in the project where acquisition cost exceeds $15,000. OVERVIEW: Background: In June, 1998, Council awarded an engineering contract to Urban Engineering for the Southside Transmission Main Project - Phase 1 (ONSWTP to Clarkwood Road). The Staples Street Pumping Plant was considered to be one of the later phases of the project. However, low water pressure has been an ongoing problem for the City's south side throughout the summers of 1997, 1998 and 1999. The feasibility report for proceeding with construction of the Staples Street Pumping Plant concluded that such action would alleviate the low pressure problems during peak demand hours as an interim measure. Therefore, acceleration of the Staples Street Pumping Plant project was proposed to meet customer demands for delivery of adequate water pressure in the south side of Corpus Christi. The Council-approved 1997 Water D~tribution System Master Plan Update recommended a new Southside Transmission Main from the Stevens Water Plant to a new pumping plant to alleviate inadequate water supply and pressure problems experienced during peak demand periods in Pressure Zone 2 (essentially east of Everhart Road). The new transmission main will substantially increase the hydraulic capacity of the delivery system from the Stevens Plant and will be the primary supply source for the Staples Street Pumping Plant. Parcel: Parcels 19, 24, 28, 29 & 30 are located just west of McKinzie Road and between McKinzie Road and Rand Morgan Road. The parcels consist of a utility easement containing 14.019 acres and a temporary construction easement containing 19.463 acres. The parcels are being acquired for the Southside Transmission Main - Stevens Plant to Clarkwood Road project improvements. The owner, D. H. Braman et. al., rejected staffs offer of $39,100, and negotiations have reached an impasse. In order to move forward with the project, these parcels should be acquired through the condemnation process. A title company is not involved in this acquisition by condemnation.
