Mayor Neal called the meeting to order in the Basement Training Room of City Hall. City
Secretary Chapa checked the roll and verified that a quorum was present to conduct the meeting. Mr.
Loeb verified that there was a quorum of the Board of Directors of the Corpus Christi Crime Control
and Prevention District.
Mr. Loeb said the board had submitted to the Council the district's budget for fiscal year
2000-2001 which is basically in conformance with the five-year plan originally proposed for the
district. He said the board met on May 26, 2000 and heard staffs recommendations for reducing the
scale of several crime control district programs.
Police Commander Bryan Smith, Crime Control and Prevention District Coordinator,
referred to the district' s budget and financial forecast for the five-year plan as well as a forecast for
Year 6 (FY 2003-04). He said the upcoming Year 3 budget (FY 2000-01) reflects no major changes,
although the Year 6 projections show an approximate $1.4 million yearly deficit if revenues and
expenditures continue as they are. He said they are proposing curbing expenditures to match
revenues so as to have a balanced budget in Year 6 and beyond. Cmdr. Smith pointed out that there
is concern the voters will not reapprove the crime control district after the fifth year if the budget is
not balanced.
Council Member Betty Jean Longofia said she wanted to ensure that the quality of the crime
control district programs is not lessened as a result of personnel expenditure needs. Cmdr. Smith said

discussed political signs that are illegally in place long after the election.
Mr. Abel Alonzo, 1701 Thames, said the Council will need to put their individual agendas
aside and reach a consensus on necessary reductions in the FY 2000-01 city budget, such as
employee's positions. He reminded the Council of the upcoming bond election and the importance
of passing a balanced budget.
Mrs. Debbie Lindsey-Opel, 4326 Kostoryz, announced two upcoming performances in the
"Shakespeare in the Park" series: "Romeo and Juliet" on June 3rd and "Comedy of Errors" on June
4th. She said Cole Park offers a very unique venue for those performances.
Ms. Rebecca Brenia, 6225 Saratoga, an employee of U.S. Cellular, said she has been working
with Mrs. Lindsey-Opel on the "Shakespeare in the Park" performances. She commended Ms. Chris
Barnes and Mr. Dan Whitworth of the Park and Recreation Department for their efforts.
City Secretary Chapa announced that Item 14, zoning case number 0400-01, Marshall
Company, had been withdrawn by the applicant.
Mayor Neat called for consideration of the consent agenda (Items 2-11 ). Council members
and audience members requested that Items 8 and 11 be withheld for discussion. City Secretary
Chapa polled the Council for their votes and the following were passed:
2. M2000-161
Motion approving the purchase of Graphical User Interface (GUI) from Tiburon, Inc.
sol°tware for public safety dispatching stations in the mount of $46,153. The award is based

for a 24-hour period but GCCLR's runaway shelter is licensed to do that. She described the process
that is followed at the shelter. She said the total cost of their proposal is $160,000 because they do
not have the overhead expenses that the district has.
In response to Mayor Neat, ChiefAlvarez said there will be a police academy graduating on
July 7th with 20 officers, I0 of which are through the crime control district. A brief discussion
ensued about the academy and hiring for attrition.
Referring to the district's budget, Mr. Loeb said the board's intent at that meeting was to
present the Council with the preliminary FY 2000-01 budget, and he noted that a public hearing on
it will be held during the June 13th Council meeting. He said the board did not need Council
approval at that time on the proposed reductions that were discussed, but he encouraged the Council
members to share any concerus they might have about the plan or other suggestions with the board
members.
Responding to Dr. Gonzales, Ms. Bridges explained the differences between Dr. Garza's
program at the runaway shelter and the juvenile assessment center's program. which is a certified
holding facility. She noted that if the center' s services were contracted ont to a third-party provider,
such as GCCLR's shelter, they would lose some grants because they can only be used by
governmental entities. She said the feeling was that while Dr. Garza's program is an excellent one,
it is a piece of the picture whereas the assessment center is the bigger picture. Ms. Mariah Boone,
director of the assessment center, further described the center's operation, including statistical
information. A discussion ensued and Council Member John Longoria commented on the need to
maintain efficient operation of the assessment center, including having a system that tracks the
youths' progress.
Ms. Paige Dinn informed the Council that Youth Opportuhities United (YOU) has been
working on a comprehensive strategy to prevent juvehile crime. She said a subcommittee of YOU
met with three local judges who said that the information they are receiving from the juvehile
assessment center is very helpful, such as whether the offender is a truant or a curfew violator. She
further discussed the importance of reliable information to address the issues that arise.
Mr. Abel Alonzo said the crime conttol board wants to run the district 's programs in the most
effective manner possible. He said he is aware that Dr. Garza is very comnutted to youth and he said
she should have provided data about her proposal.
Mayor Neal thanked the crime control board for their efforts. Council Member Colmenero
asked that Dr. Garza and GCCLR be kept informed about these issues.
There being no further business, Mayor Neat adj ourned the joint meeting at 1: 30 p. m

The invocation was delivered by Pastor Charles Richardson, Calvary First Baptist Church,
following which the Pledge of Allegiance to the United States flag was led by Council Member John
Longoria. City Secretmy 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

Mayor Neal called for petitions from the audience.
Mr. J.E. O'Brien, 4130 P ompano, said some of the comments made by Cotmcil members last
week regarding the Council reports portion of the meetings were similar to the arguments made by
members of the audience concerning the public comment portion of the meetings. Mr. O'Brien said
he thought there should be a prohibition against the Council engaging in deliberations during
Council reports. He referred to a letter tiom the Attorney General to a private citizen in response to
concems regarding public comment during Council meetings. Mr. O'Brien agreed with Council
Member GonTales that the City Attorney had merely issued an opinion on the subject, and he added
that five citizens have challenged the City Attomey's statement that a loan is not a transfer.
*Council Members Javier Colmenero and Betty Jean Longoria arrived at the meeting.
Mr. Jack Gordy, 310 Norton St., said there is a city ordinance which makes it illegal to drink
alcoholic beverages in any city park or parking lot that is connected to a city park. He said he has
witnessed people drinking alcohol in parking lots along Leopard Street. He urged the Council to
amend the wording of the ordinance to prohibit the consumption of aicohol on city property. He also

discussed political signs that are illegally in place long after the election.

employee's positions. He reminded the Council of the upcoming bond election and the importance
of passing a balanced budget.
Mrs. Debbie Lindsey-Opel, 4326 Kostoryz, announced two upcoming performances in the
"Shakespeare in the Park" series: "Romeo and Juliet" on June 3rd and "Comedy of Errors" on June
4th. She said Cole Park offers a very unique venue for those performances.
Ms. Rebecca Brenia, 6225 Saratoga, an employee of U.S. Cellular, said she has been working

Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 11, lease agreement with the Veterans Band.
Mr. J.E. O'Brien said the Veterans Band of Corpas Christi is a major asset of this corranunity
and he strongly supports the proposed ordinance.
Mr. Ram Chavez, musical director and founder of the Veterans Band of Corpus Christi, said
they expressed their appreciation to the city, specifically Mr. Utter and Mr. Jim Boggs. Mayor Neat
praised the Veterans Band for their work.
Responding to Council Member Kirmison, Mr. Utter said that with one exception, the city
can execute leases up to 60 years. The leases in the Bayfront Arts and Science Park are typically for
20-year terms. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:
11. FIRST READING ORDINANCE
Authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute a twenty year lease agreement with
the Veterans Band of Corpus Christi, Texas for the Buddy Lawrence House located at
Heritage Park (Lots 4, 5 and 6, Block 60, Beach Portion of the City of Corpus Christi, Texas)

The foregoing ordinance passed on first reading by the following vote: Neat, Colmenero,
Cooper, Garrett, Gonzales, Kinnison, B. Longoria, J. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye."
Mayor Neat referred to Item 12, and a motion was made, seconded and passed to open the
public heating on the following zoning case:
12.
Case No. 0200-03 ~ Anna K. Moore: A change of zoning from an "A-1" Apartment House
District to an "AB" Professional Office District on Bayfront Terrace, Block 4, Lot 7 and
portion of Lots 8 and 9, located on the southwest comer of Ayers Street and Ocean Drive.
City Secretary Chapa said the Planning Commission recommended denial of the "AB"
District, and in lieu thereof, approval of a special permit for medical and professional offices subject
to a site plan and five (5) conditions. He said the Planning staffs recommendation was denial of the
"AB" District. The ordinance on the agenda reflected the Planning Commission' s recommendation.
Mr. Michael Gunning, Director of Planning and Development, gave a computer presentation
on the zoning case. He noted that all of the properties south of Elizabeth Street along Ocean Drive
9
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting

Page 6
to Louisiana Parkway retain residential zoning (either single-family or multi-family). He said the
Southeast Area Development Plan recommends that that area along the Ocean Drive frontage remain
residential. Mr. Gunning said staff believes that if an outright zoning change or a special permit is
granted for the subject property, it will penetrate the Ayers Street barrier.
Responding to Council Member Colmenero, Mr. Gunning said the subject property is
immediately surrounded by residential properties. Mayor Neal called for public comments.
Ms. Donna Rapado expressed concem about the possibility of people parking in the alley
behind the subject property. Mr. Gunning replied that the garage building behind the existing two-
story apartment on the subject property will be removed to make room for additional parking. He
said he discussed the proposed site plan with the city' s traffic engineering staff and they felt there
would be sufficient room for cars.
Mr. William Allen, President of the Del Mar Neighborhood Association, said the association
is opposed to the proposed zoning change from "A-I" to "AB" zoning. He said they agree with city
staff that the "AB" zoning should be denied, and they cautiously agree to the special permit with five
conditions.
Mrs. Dorothy Spann, Chairperson of the Street Improvements and Zoning Committee of the
Del Mar Neighborhood Association, described the association's long-time involvement in the
neighborhood. She said they agree with city staff about maintaining the residential character of
Ocean Drive south of Ayers Street. She also expressed concern about the possibility of dental offices
being opened on the subject property and she questioned Ocean Drive access.
Responding to Council Members Betty Jean Longoria and Scott, Mrs. Spann said the
association cautiously supports the Planning Commission's recommendation with the inclusion of
the stronger language for the special permit she described previously.
Dr. Steven Rush, 409 Del Mar, husband of the applicant, said he is a board-certified general
surgeon. He said he is not interested in having a dentist share that facility but he did want to include
another surgeon. He said there is no access to Ocean Drive from the subject property. He said he has
acted in good faith and is not interested in commercializing Ocean Drive, which is the same position
of the Del Mar Neighborhood Association.
Mr. Hal George, an attorney represenfmg the applicant, Ms. Anna K. Moore, said they
support the Planning Commission's recommendation for a special permit for medical and
professional offices. He said the bungalow on the subject property fronting Ocean Drive and the back
pan of the property where the medical offices will be located will be upgraded and improved. He
said a medical office will have less of an Impact on infrastructure than apartments. He added that an
old garage will be demolished for parking space.
Mr. Garrett made a motion to close the public heating, seconded by Mr. Colmenero, and
passed.

Responding to Mr. Longoria, Mr. Utter said if the Council approved the Planning
Commission's recommendation. the subject property would retain its "A-1" zoning but would be
granted a special permit for medical and professional offices with five conditions. Mayor Neal
pointed out that staff was recommending denial of the zoning change. Mr. Gunning further explained
the Del Mar Neighborhood Association's position, and Mr. Utter discussed the terms of the special
permit and the reason staff was opposed to the rezoning.
Mr. Utter pointed out that in the proposed ordinance, the description of the second special
permit condition varies slightly from the wording in the minutes of the Planning Commission
meeting (page 97 of the background material). Mr. Chapa said the Council would have to amend the
ordinance to include the wording changes explained by Mr. Utter. Mr. Scott made a motion to amend
the ordinance as stated, seconded by Mrs. Longoria. and passed. Mr. Chapa then polled the Council
for their votes on the mended ordinance as follows:

City Secretary Chapa said the Planning Commission and staff recommended denial of the
"B-4" District, and in lieu thereof, approval of an "AB" Professional Office District with a "SP"
special permit for a dental lab subject to three (3) conditions. Mr. Gunning gave a computer
presentation on the proposed zoning change.
No one appeared in opposition to the zoning change. Mrs. Longoria made a motion to close

Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 15, consolidated emergency dispatch center.
Capt. Leonard Scott, Technical Services Manager of the Corpus Christi Police Depamuent,
gave a computer presentation on the proposed dispatch center, known as Metrocom. He explained
that consolidation of those services has been a goal of the CCPD and the Nueces County Sheriffs
Department for over a decade due to their overlapping jurisdictions, use of the same radio and
computer systems, and similar 911 systems. He said the goal of Metrocom is to combine the two
dispatch centers to provide a center to process all public safety calls for the city and county. Other
agencies can be included in the center in the future.
Capt. Scott said the county has agreed to pay $70,000 of the direct cost to accommodate the
county into the city's communication center. He said the city will administer the center under an
adopted set of operating procedures and budget to be developed by the Systems Operations
Committee as established by the interlocal cooperation agreement and approved by the Metrocom

Board, which consists of the County Judge and the Mayor of Corpus Christi.
In addition, Capt. Scott described the composition of the Systems Operations Committee:
Nueces County Sheriff(or his representative); member named by the Nueces County Commissioners
Court; C.C. Police Chief (or his representative); C.C. Fire Chief (or his representative); city
representative; RTA representative; and a non-city/county representative elected by other Metrocom
public safety dispatch system users (should there be any in the future). Capt. Scott then described
the phases and timing of the consolidation as well as costs associated with it.
Mayor Neal recognized Nueces County Sheriff Larry Olivarez and C.C. Police Chief Pete
Alvarez. SheriffOlivarez said he felt the city and county had reached an agreement that is in the best
interest of both entities. Chief Alvarez said they had had a fruitful meeting that morning addressing
the Sheriffs concerns and they will continue to work with him as the center progresses. Several
Council members commented on the significance of this project and thanked those involved.
Mr. Abel Alonzo said it was good to see the county and city working together on this project
but he noted that the RTA is also a participant, which will benefit those who utilize public
transportation.
City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:
15. KESOLUTION NO. 024051
Resolution authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute an Interlocal Agreement
with Nueces County to implement a consolidated emergency dispatch center.
The foregoing resolution passed by the following vote: Neai, Colmenero, Cooper, Garrett,
Gonzales, Kirmison, B. Longoria, J. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye."
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 16, Frost National Bank building lease.
Mr. Angel Escobar, Director of Engineering Services, explained that in June 1999 staff
presented to the Council a needs assessment that looked into the space requirements for City Hall,
City Hall Annex, Police Department, Municipal Court and Fire Administration. Staff evaluated six
proposals and determined that the least expensive one was $4.86 per square foot per year as proposed
by Frost Bank. He said staff also evaluated the possibility of constructing a new building but Frost
Bank's proposal was still less expensive.
Mr. Escobar said the proposed 21-year lease is for the city to utilize 41,289 square feet and
for the bank to continue using I 1,301 square feet, for a total of 52,590 square feet. In addition, there
would be no rental fee to the city for the first two years. The agreement also provides the city up to
$500,000 to pay for any repairs or building remodeling, which includes the arcnitect's fee, to allow
13
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
May 30, 2000
Page 10
the city to utilize the building areas as described. He added that the lease contains a cancellation
option, which he explained. Mr. Escobar said the bank will install separate utility and electricity
meters so as to separate utility usage. Mr. Escobar and Mr. Ken Kohrs, Manager of Property and
Land Acquisition, further described other aspects of the lease, including the purchase option.
City Manager Garcia pointed out that pax1 of staffs plan is to utilize the first floor of the
Frost Bank building for a "one-stop" development or business service center, which is one of the
Council's priorities. Responding to Mayor Neal, Mr. Kohrs described how the $500,000 is built into
the long-term lease payments. He also discussed the payment schedule and the timing of the
building's occupation. Mr. Garcia said their intent is to exercise a purchase option at some point
during the lease agreement and they wanted to ensure that the city' s rental payments were credited
toward that, which he explained. A discussion ensued about the purchase option, taxes, and the small
business development center.
Mayor Neat called for comments from the audience.
Mr. J.E. O'Brien said the Council has to determine whether the city needs that facility and
whether it is vital to future city operations. He said ~e upfront costs appear to be reasonable but he
expressed concem about the long-range implications.
Mr. Garcia said staff wanted to negotiate a fixed purchase price, but the bank' s position was
that they were loaning the city $500,000 and granting a below-market rental rote. Consequently, they
were unwilling to lock in a fixed price until the ninth year. He said fithe city wishes to purchase the
building anytime prior to the ninth year, they will have to negotiate with the bank.
Council Member John Longoria questioned whether this item could be considered on two
readings. Mr. Garcia replied that he had promised Frost Bank that staff would try to have an answer
by the meeting that day.
Mr. Mike Carrell, President of Frost Bank, said the bank has a lot of cost associated with the
building and they need the full 20-year term to burn off the depreciation.
Responding to Council Member Colmenero, Mr. Garcia said that currently the city does not
have the resources to buy the building but it is possible that they will have the resources to make an
offer on the building prior to the first option, which will have to be negotiated with the bank.
Following a brief discussion, Mr. Carreil said the reason the bank is willing to come in with a below-
market rent is because the city is willing to rent the building for 21 years.
Mr. Longoria said he did not think it would harm anything to consider the item on two
readings. Mr. Cart'ell said bank officials were aware that the Council was not scheduled to meet on
June 6th and there is another party interested in the building. He said they are giving up other
opportunities in order to keep this offer on the table. Mr. Kinnison also expressed concern about the
purchase option and the need to consider the item that day. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council
for their votes as follows:

Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 17, Wesley Seale Dam spillway stabilization project.
Responding to a question from the Mayor, Dr. Ron Waters of Freese & Nichols said they do
not yet have the exact cost to repair the spillway chute, but they anticipate it will be approximately
$1.5 million. Mr. Kevin Stowers, Assistant Director of Engineering Services, said there have been
three change orders on the construction part of the contract for a total of $12,500. He said the city
pays Dr. Waters' fees directly as a separate conlract for professional services (as opposed to the
construction contract). He said the total cost of the project is estimated at $22.1 million and the
budget presented to the Council at the time the construction contract was awarded was for $23
million. He added that the city sold $26 million in bonds for the project.
Dr. Waters said they have asked the contractor to maintain his schedule but also to assign a

special crew to the spillway chute project. Responding to Council Member Colmenero, Dr. Waters
said they have not found huge voids beneath the spillway chute. There were no comments from the
audience. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:

Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute Amendment No. 9 to the

the Wesley Scale Dam Spillway Stabilization project.
The foregoing motion passed by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero, Cooper, Garrett,
Gonzales, Kinnison, B. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye"; J. Longoria absent.
Mayor Neat opened discussion on Item 18, amending the FY 99-00 budget.
Deputy City Manager Noe said the outside auditor and city staff have concurred on a
recommendation on the administrative cost recovery, which represents an increase in the
administrative cost recovery system in the current year of $77g,000, which is slightly less than
initially proposed. Another item was the allocation of the Economic Development Corporation
(EDC) cost, in which staff proposed to allocate equally among the three utilities and the General
Fund. However, the auditor recommended an allocation that was based on operating revenues in the
utilities and property tax and sales tax revenues in the General Fund, which splits 45% of the cost
of the EDC to the General Fund and 55% to the utility funds. Council Member ConTales questioned
the proposed EDC allocation.
Mayor Neal called for comments from the audience.
Mr. J.E. O'Brien said that in 1997 the Council contracted with a consultant to assist the city
with cost allocations. He acknowledged that the city has budget problems, but he questioned why
major increases in charges to the utility fund are being recommended. He then discussed the specific
proposed allocations.
Mr. Jack Gordy said the Council should be concerned about whether the proposed allocations
are legitimate. He urged them to think before they vote.
Council Member Kinnison thanked staff for discussing the proposed allocations with the
outside auditors. He said he would vote in favor of Item 18, although if the Council members had
line-item veto power, he would vote against the fire hydrant and economic development allocations.
Mr. Garcia said that the financial forecast included projections for rate increases of about 6% a year
for the next five years. However, since the utility funds are doing well largely due to reengineering
efforts, staff will not be recommend'rag 6% increases in water or wastewater in the upcoming budget.

Responding to Council Member Scott, Mr. Noe said the auditors have determined that the
proposals are a legitimate charge given the parameters of accounting procedures and the City
Charter. A brief discussion ensued. Mayor Neal asked Mr. O'Brien and other members of the
Taxpayers Association to work with the Council to help resolve those difficult issues. City Secretary
Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:

ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Evolution of the Master Plan Drainaae Channel 31 Trust Fund:
In 1985, several land owners (partialparing owners), including the Corpus Christi Independent
School Distdct (CCISD), began investigating the basic infrastructure needs necessary for
development of an area north of Yorktown Boulevard and east of Staples Street. Included
in this area is the Katie Middle School site. The water grid mains and wastewater trunk
systems for this area were in the process of being installed as part of King's Crossing
developmenL The water and wastewater trust funds, established by the City in 1982, which
are funded by the imposition of lot/acreage fees, were being used, as they are today
throughout the City, to pay for water and wastewater improvements which serve a large area.
A similar system for drainage was not in place, and unless there was a large development to
absorb the drainage costs, development was hindered, as it is today, in areas without a
drainage ouffall in place.
The interested owners (participating owners) implemented a plan for drainage of the area by
providing the initial funding for Drainage Channel No. 31 which included acquisition of right-of-
way, excavation of the channel to Master Plan width, construction of crossing structures
under the existing readways (Rodd Field and Cimmaron Boulevard), erosion protection
structures and other incidental work. The City utilized its condemnation power to acquire two
parcels of land which could not be acquired by negotiation.
In order to equitably distribute the costs among all properties in the tributary area, the
participating owners established a pro rata fee based upon the area of the tract and the
distance runoff from the tract would utilize the drainage channel. The City's role in this
proposal is the collection of the pro rata charges from both Non-Participating Owners and
Participating Owners and disbursing the funds plus interest to the Trustee of the funding
owners (CCISD, Harris & Charles Katie, and Mark Bratton).
The governing Contract and Agreement was made and entered into between the Trustee
(Mark Bratton) and the City of Corpus Chdsti on December 31, 1985. An Amendment to the
Contract was authorized by City Council on February 18, 1997.

Prior Council Actions Associated with Master Plan Drainaqe Channel 31.
Motion approving Offs'ite Drainage Development Contract with Mark Bratton, Trustee,
providing for acquisition of fight of way, excavation of Drainage Channel No. 31,
construction of related structures, and establishment of a pro rata acreage plan for
area served by Channel 31, and City collection Qf the pro rata acreage fee upon
platting, building permit issuance, or utility service, and dispersing this pro rata fee plus
interest to Trustee on December 31, 1985. (M85-0597,).
Resolution authorizing City Manager to take the necessary actions to establish impact
Fees for the Master Plan Drainage Channel 31 improvements, scheduling a public
headng to receive comment on the adoption of Land Use Assumptions, Capital
Improvements Plan and Impact Fees; appointing the Planning Commission as the
Capital Improvements Advisory Committee on November 26, 1996 (Res. #022773).
Motion amending Offsite Development Contract authorized December 31, 1985,
between Mark Bratton, Trustee, and the City of Corpus Chdsti to attribute actual costs,
pro rata, to each tract situated within Channel 31 Service Area calculated on an
acreage and use basis with respect to that podion of the cost of the project situated
downstream of each particular tract on February 18, 1997 (M97-046).
Ordinance adopting the Capital Improvements Plan and Impact Fees for Master Plan
Drainage Channel No. 31; amending the platting ordinance to include such fees; and
amending Chapters 13 and 55 of the City Code to reference the Platting Ordinance
Impact Fee provisions on April 22, 1997 (Ord. #0 22913).
Impact Fee Collection Trigger Points: Impact fees am collected at one of the following three
trigger points, whichever occurs first, within all or any portion of a tract situated within Area
31:
recordation of a subdivision plat;
issuance of a building permit; or
connection to the City's utility systems.
Disbursement of Impact Fees to the Trustee: The Offsite Drainage Development Contract
requires the immediate disbursement of impact fees to the Trustee upon receipt. As
governed by City Charter, Article IV, Section 5, such disbursement requires adoption of an
ordinance appropriating the funds by Coundl. Therefore, it is anticipated that payment to the
Trustee will be occurring no less than 30 days after receipt of funds from the developer.

The interested owners (paffidpating owners) implemented a plan for drainage of the area by
providing the initial funding for Drainage Channel No. 31 which included acquisition of right-of-
way, excavation of the channel to Master Plan width, construction of crossing structures
under the existing roadways (Rodd Field and Cimmaron Boulevard), erosion protection
structures and other inddental work. The City utilized its condemnation power to acquire two
parcels of land which could not be acquired by negotiation.
In order to equitably distribute the costs among all properties in the tributary area, the
participating owners established a pro rata fee based upon the area of the tract and the
distance runoff from the tract would utilize the drainage channel. The City's role in this
proposal is the collection of the pro rata charges from both Non-Partidpating Owners and
Padicipating Owners and disbursing the funds plus interest to the Trustee of the funding
owners (CCISD, Harris & Chades Katie, and Mark Bratton).
The governing Contract and Agreement was made and entered into between the Trustee
(Mark Bratton) and the City of Corpus Chdsti on December 31, 1985. An'Amendment to the
Contract was authorized by City Council on February 18, 1997.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
PUBLIC HEARING - ZONING (City Council Action Date: June 13. 2000)
Case No. 0500-05, Cad Howard: A change of zoning ~'om an "AB" Professional Office District to a
"B-I" Neighborhood Business District on Port Amnsas Cliffs Addition, Block 814, Lots 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, and
62, located on the east side of South Alameda Street, approximately 50 feet north of Sinclair Street.
Planning Commission and Staff's Recommendation (05/10/00): Denied the "B-I" District, and
in lieu thereof, approved a "B-1A' Neighborhood Business District.
Requested Council Action: Denial of the "B-I' District, and in lieu thereof, approval of a "B-1A"
Neighborhood Business District and adoption of the attached ordinance.
PurnoseofReauest: To develop the property with a restaurant.
Summary: The applicant has requested a change of zoning fxom an "AB" Professional Office District to a "B-I'
Neighborhood Business District in order to convert an existing 2-slot-/building into a barbecue restaurant. The
subject property contains six (6) lots (Lots 57-62). The 2-story building is located on Lot 57 and 58. Lot 59 and 60
are undeveloped with Lots 61 and 62 containing a single story structure with multiple dwelling units. The single-
story structure is planned to be removed and Lots 59 through 62 used as the parking area for the proposed restaurant.
The subject property contains 18,750 square feet and a street ~-ontage of 150 feet on an arterial, S. Alameda Street.
This size of property with the amount of street ~'ontagc on an arterial and residential adjacency makes the subject
property an ideal location for the "B-1A" Neighborhood Business District. The requested "B-I" District permits the
proposed restaurant, but affords no protection to the adjacent residential area as does the "B-1A" District. In a "B-
I" District, a restaurant's kitchen and grease trap may be located ten (10) feet ~-om the residential property line and
require a 6-foot standard screening fence. A "B-IA" District will require a 15-foot setback for the nonresidential
structure, a 50-foot setback for the restaurant's kitchen and grease trap, and a 6-foot masonry wall along the
residential property line. These performance standards provide some protection to the adjacent residences. Alter
discussing the options with the applicant, he is in agreement with a "B-1A" District.
Anolicant's Position: The applicant concars with Planning Commission and Staff's recommendation.
Notification: Prior to the date of this memorandum, twenty-six (26) notices were mailed to the property owners
within a 200-foot radius, of which two (2) were returned in favor and one (1) was returned in opposition. The 20%
rule is not in effect. ~

Recent Surroundin2 Zonin~ Cases:
In December 1990, Lots 39, 40 and 41, located on the east side of S. Alameda Street, south of
Rossiter Street and east of the subject property, were denied a change of zoning to a "B-I" District
but were granted a Special Permit for a floral and gift shop. The Special Permit has since expired.
Lots 6C and 6D, located on the west side of S. Alameda Street, south of Rossiter Street and
northwest of the subject property, are subject to a change of zoning for an "A-2" District to a "B-4"
District and are scheduled to be heard by the Planning Commission on May 10, 2000.
Zonin~ Inventorv:
The subject property is part of the 6.91 acres of land area zoned an "AB" District and contain office,
medical and dental clinics and a parking lot. Adjacent to the east, the area is zoned a "R-1B" District
and predominantly developed with single-familyresidences. West ofthe subject property, there are
7.24 acres of land zoned an "A-1" District and developed with a medical clinic and a church. To the
northwest, there are 7.27 acres of land zoned an "A-2" District which is developed with a church,
a senior citizen apartment complex and a boarding house (Ronald McDonald House). Further
northwest from the subject property, there is a "B-I" Dislrict that contains 19.90 acres and developed
with a hospital, an apartment complex, and a convenience store. West of this "B-I" District, there
is an "A-I" District containing 3.87 acres and aptahnents. Southwest from the subject property,
there are 20.93 acres zoned a "B-4" District and contain a children's hospital.
Planninl~ Staff Analysis:
General Characteristics and Backmound: The applicant has requested a change of zoning
from an "AB" Professional Office District to a "B-I" Neighborhood Business District in
order to convert an existing 2-story building into a barbecue restaurant. The subject property
contains six (6) lots (Lots 57-62). The 2-story building is located on Lot 57 and 58. Lot 59
and 60 are undeveloped with Lots 61 and 62 containing a single story structure with multiple
dwelling units. The single-story structure is planned to be removed and Lots 59 through 62
used as the parking area for the proposed restaurant. The subject property contains 18,750
square feet and a street frontage of lS0 feet on an arterial, S. Alameda Street. This size of
property with the mount of street frontage on an arterial and residential adjacency makes
the subject property an ideal location for the "B-1A" Neighborhood Business District. The
requested "B-I" District permits the proposed restaurant, but affords no protection to the
adjacent residential area as does the "B-1A" District. In a "B-I" District, a restaurant's
kitchen and grease trap may be located ten (10) feet from the residential property line and
require a 6-foot standard screening fence. A "B-1A" District will require a 15-foot setback
for the nonresidential structure, a 50-foot setback for the restaurant' s kitchen and grease trap,
and a 6-foot masom'y wall along the residential property line. These performance standards
provide some protection to the adjacent residences. After discussing the options with the
applicant, he is in agreement with a "B-1A" District.

Zoning Report
Case No. 0500-05 (Carl Howard)
Page 4
· ConformiW to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Compatibility: Overall, th
Comprehensive Plan Elements can be supportive of the "B-1A" District because of the
protection of the residential properties and the direct access to an arterial. The Southeast
Area Development Plan' s adopted future land use map recommends the area to develop with
professional office uses. However, the "B-1A" District is designed to provide more
protection to adjacent residential properties than the "B-1" District.
Potential Housin~ Density: Both the "AB" and "B-I" Districts permit a residential density
of 36.30 dwelling units per acre or 15 units on the subject property. A "B-1A" District
permits a density of 43.56 dwelling units per acre or 18 units on the subject property. The
change in zoning will have minimal impact on the adjoining properties,
Height/Bulk/Setbacks/Etc.: All three of the districts, the "AB", "B-I", and "B-1A" Districts,
required a front yard setback of twenty (20) feet. The side and rear yard setbacks in an "AB"
District are required to be at least ten (10) feet each. There are no side or rear setbacks
required in the "B-1" and "B-1A" Districts, tinless adjacent to a residential district where the
setbacks are ten (10) feet each in a "B-I" Dislrict and ten (10) feet side yard and fifteen (15)
feet rear yard in the "B-1A" District. Both the "All" and "B-I" Districts limit the building
heights to three (3) stories with the "AB" District permitting 45 feet and the "B-I" District
allowing 35 feet. Building heights in the "B-1A" District are limited to 36 feet unless
adjacent to a residential district where the height is limited to 26 feet.
Signage: An "AB" District permits one wall sign with an area not to exceed twenty (2t
square feet. A freestanding sign with an area of twenty square feet and a height of fifreen
(15) feet may be permitted in lieu of the wall sign and with Planning Commission approval.
Wall siEng in the "B-I" District area unlimited as to size and number. The "B-I" District
does permit one freestanding sign per premise with an area not to exceed forty (40) square
feet and a height of twenty (20) feet. The "B-1A" District permits one freestanding sign per
premise with a height of fifteen (15) feet, a setback often (10) feet, and an area of thirty (30)
square feet or 0.25 square foot per linear of street, whichever is greater, but in no event
exceed fifty (50) square feet. Wall signs in the "B-1A' DisWict are limited to one square foot
of sign area for linear foot of wall frontage with a door for public use.
.Traffic: The proposed restaurant use could generate 386 daily trip ends. This traffic would
access the site from S. Alameda Street, an medal. As an medal, S. Alameda Street is
designed to accommodate large volumes of traffic. S. Alameda Street is shown to handle
22,780 vehicles per day at Texan Trail and 26,000 vehicles per day at Doddridge Street. The
traffic increase onto S. Alameda Street will have minimal impact on its circulation.
Parking./Screenin~: A restaurant use is required to provide one off-street parking space for
each 100 square feet of gross floor area_ The proposed 4,000 square foot restaurant would
be required to provide forty (40) off-street parking spaces. If zoned a "B-1A" District and
the development uses two (2) drive approaches instead of the three (3) approaches, the off-
street parking may be reduced by twenty (20) percent to 32 park'mg spaces. In the "B-' ~

Zoning Report
Case No. 0500-05 (Carl Howard)
Page 5
District, a standard screening fence with a height of not less than six (6) feet is required when
a business or industrial use locates adjacent to a residential district. The "B-1A" District
requires a masortry wall with a height of not less than six (6) feet along the residential
adjacency. If a change of zoning is approve& a screening fence or masonry wall will be
required along the subject property's east property line.
· Costs to City: All of the infrastructure required to serve the subject property is in place and
no costs to the City are anticipated.
· Platting: The subject property comains six (6) platted lots and further replatting is not
required.
Pros: (Ideas in support of the request.)
a) The subject property has direct access to an arterial without traversing a residential area.
b) The proposed restaurant is a use that would complement the surrounding uses.
Cons: (Ideas in support ofmalmaining the current zoning.)
a) The existing "AB' District is consistent with the Southeast Area Development Plan's
adopted future land use map.
b) The restaurant can be accommodated in a "B-1A" District that affords more protection to
the adjoining residential area.
Staff Recommendation:
Denial of the "B-I" District, and in lieu thereof, approval of a "B-IA" Neighborhood Business
District.

Planning Commission Minutes
May IO, 2000
Carl Howard: 0500-05
REQUEST:
"AB" Professional Offxce District to "B-I" Neighborhood Business District on property described
as Port Aranaas Cliffs Addition, Block 814, Lots 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, and 62 and located on the east
side of South Alameda, approximately 50 feet north of Sinclair Street
Mr. Saidaria presented a slide illustration of the subject property and the surrounding area. The subject
property is part of the 6.91 acres of land area zoned an "AB" Distxict and contain office, medical and dental clinics
and a parking lot. Adjacent to the east, the area is zoned a "R-IB" District and predominantly developed with
single-family residences. West of the subject property, there are 7.24 acres of land zoned an "A-I" District and
developed with a medical clinic and church. To the northwest, there are 7.27 acres of land zoned an "A-2" district
which is developed with a church, a senior citizen apartment complex, and a boarding house (Ronald McDonald
House). Further northwest from the subject property, there is a "B-I" District that contains 19.90 acres and
developed with a hospital, an apartment complex, and a convenience store. West of this "B-I" District, there is an
"A-l" Dismitt containing 3.87 acres and apartments. Southwest from the subject property, there are 20.93 acres
zoned a "B4" District and contain a children's hospital.
Mr. Saidaria stated that the applicant requested a change of zoning from an "AB" Professional Office
District m a "B-I" Neighborhood Business District in order to convert an existing 2-story building into a barbecue
restaurant. The single story slrucmre is pined to be removed and Lots 59 through 62 used as the parking area for
the proposed restant.
The size of the property with the amount of street frontage on an arterial and residential adjaconcy makes
the subject property an ideal location for the "B-IA" Neighborhood Business District. The "B-l" District permits
the proposed restaurant, but affords no protection to the adjacent residential area as does the "B-1A" District. A
"B-IA" DisUict will require a 15-foot setback for the nonresidential structure, a 50-foot setback for the restaunnt's
kitchen and grease trap, and a 6-foot masonry wall along the residential property line. Mr. Sat,tara stated that he
was in agreement with a "B-IA" District. Staff recommends denial of the "B-I" District, and in lieu thereof,
approval of a "B - 1A" Neighborhood Business District.
Chairman Noyola opened the public hearing. No one appeared in favor or opposition. Public hearing was
closed.
After discussion comparing the "B-I" and "B-1A" Districts, the Commission thanked Staff for
recommending the "B-1A" Dislxict. Conm'assioner Sween-McGloin stated that she believed a "B-1A" District
would protect the neighborhood adjacent to the subject property and distributed photographs of property previously
approved for a "B-l" District by the Commission. She stated that restsictious placed on restaurants in a "B-1A"
District would prevent occurrences that are not neighbor-friendly as illustrated in the photographs.
Motion by Sween-McGloin, seconded by Mires, to approve Staffs recommendation. Motion passed
nnaninlously.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
SUBJECT: Wesley Seale Dam Spillway Stabilization Project #8203
SUMMARY: The project is proceeding ahead of schedule and is within budget. Dudng the
quarterly report to Council, Dr. Waters reported the geotechnical investigation and
inspection of the spillway chute would occur once the area was de-watered as scheduled.
The geotechnical results require that a change order be approved to permanently ensure
the stability of the south spillway chute.
BACKGROUND: Geotechnical investigation of the spillway chute was programmed in the
Freese and Nichols' contract to be undertaken once the south spillway was de-watered.
The investigation could not be undertaken without de-watering which required completion
of the temporary outlet canal, and contractor action to increase the stability of the south
spillway.
FINDINGS: The results of the discharge chute geotechnical investigation have been
reviewed by Freese & Nichols and the City's Independent Board of Consultants (John
Focht, P.E. and Eric Kollgaard, P.E.). The results and proposed corrective actions were
presented to the City's independent Board of Consultants on Tuesday, May 16.
The investigation revealed uplift hydraulic pressure exists under the outlet chute. Minor
voids (up to 6-in.) were also observed under the chute. A series of minor cracks in the
chute floor were found. The cracks are stable, and appear to have been caused by a 1979
grouting repair. These cracks could ultimately expose reinforcing steel to corrosion.
CORRECTIVE ACTIONS:
Change Order No. 4 will allow the necessary corrective actions to be completed. The
change order includes additional welding effort necessary (existing gates are magnetized)
to complete gate extensions. The extensions will address the anticipated subsidence, and
allow the reservoir to operate at its full capacity of 94 ft. m.s.I.
The Corrective actions for the discharge chute include grouting of voids, installation of a
sedes of relief wells, shallow (~30') anchors, and a concrete oveday. The relief wells will
reduce the uplift pressure, and when combined with shallow anchors ensure that the outlet
chute is fully stabilized. The concrete overlay will protect the reinforcing steel from
corrosion. The overlay will also correct a deficiency in the hydraulic flow of the spillway
H:~-IOME\KEVINS\GEN\WATER\SEALE~CONSTRUC\!CO4.BKG
EXHIBIT"A"

that creates a second source of uplift pressure. This change order includes the additional
recommendations of the City's independent Board of Consultants consisting of:
1. the installation of three additional relief wells in a "deep" sand formation (~30-ft.);
and
2. the use of a chemical grout to create a seal between a new steel sheet pile cut*off
wall and existing sheet piling.
Additional stability items that are included in the change order include:
1. restoration of earth embankments to elevation 106 ft. m.s.l.; and
2. seepage control on the north embankment.
The proposed change order also includes a number of necessary maintenance items and
items that will increase operational efficiency. The items are not related to the spillway
stabilization, but need or will need to addressed in the near future. The contractor has
offered a pdce that is deemed fair and will allow the City to avoid bid and mobilization
expense if the projects are contracted separately. Items include replacement of the odginal
handrails, access (safety) ladder improvements, water level staff gauge & remote cable
conduit, control cables and concrete duct bank, enlarge center embankment storage

(TDPRS) as recommended by the Community Youth Development Steering Committee.
Issue:
The Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services will continue funding for the
Community Youth Development Program in various cities throughout the state. The City of
Corpus Christi may apply for a fourth year of funding in the amount of $500,000 for Fiscal Year
2000-2001 to be used for programs in the 78415 zip code area. The City serves as the Fiscal
Agent and not the Grant Administrator as in other program areas. The Community Youth
Development Steering Committee has selected and voted on proposals to recommend to City
Council to be submitted to TDPRS. Any changes to the Steedng Committee's recommendation
by the Fiscal Agent will cancel any contract with TDPRS for Community Youth Development
Program funds for Fiscal Year 2000-2001 and the 78415 zip code area will not receive any

Background Information:
On May 27, 1997 Council approved a transfer agreement with the Workforce Development
Corporation pertaining to the Community Youth Development Contract with the Texas
Department of Protective and Regulaton/Services (TDPRS) for the 78415 CYD Program, and
executed a contract with TDPRS; Council also passed a resolution (#4:)22938) establishing the
Community Youth Development Steering Committee. On August 12, 1997 Council approved
the submission of a $500,000 proposal for Fiscal Year 97-98 to TDPRS. On October 28, 1997
Council approved the contract between the City and TDPRS and appropriated $500,000
(Ordinance #023112). On March 10, 1998 Council approved the submission of a $70,000
proposal to TDPRS. On June 9, 1998 the Council approved amending the contract with
TDPRS to increase funding from $500,000 to $566,765 and approving the subcontracts
(Ordinance ~)23334). Council approved the Community Youth Development programs for
Fiscal Year 98-99 on June 23, 1998. On September 22, 1998, the City Council approved the
execution of the contract with TDPRS for the $500,000 for Fiscal Year 98-99 and the

Page 2, Agenda Memorandum
TDPRS to increase funding from $500,000 to $532,600 and approving the subcontrac,~
(Ordinance #-023595). Council approved the Community Youth Development programs for
Fiscal Year 99-00 on June 22, 1999. On August 24, 1999, the City Council approved the
execution of the contract with TDPRS for the $500,000 for Fiscal Year 99-00 and the
subcontracts with Communities In Schools, Inc., Girl Scouts Paisano Council, Park and
Recreation Department, Volunteer Center of the Coastal Bend, and Youth Odyssey, Inc.
(Ordinance # 023732).
Future Council Action:
If the proposal is approved by TDPRS, Council will approve a contract between the City of
Corpus Christi, TDPRS, and the various subcontractors.
Community Youth Development Steering Committee Review:
The Community Youth Development Steering Committee used the following process for their
consideration of 12 separate program proposals (the Girl Scouts withdrew their proposal
because they could not run the program without the administrative costs being funded). Each
Steering Committee member reviewed copies of the 12 proposals then scored each proposal
separately using an evaluation form. Average scores were computed for each proposal then
the proposals were ranked from the highest to the lowest average score. Funds were then
allotted beginning with the highest ranked proposal until all the available funds were
distributed. Because there were not enough funds available to cover the fourth propos-t
negotiations were held with Communities in Schools to reduce their requested amoun
$14,187.00, in order to fund the Housing Authority's proposal. The CYD Steering Committee
approved the program package in a special called meeting on May 24, 2000.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed programs for the 78415 zip code area.

Additional Background Information
BACKGROUND:
On April 17, 2000, TDPRS informed all CYD contractors of the anticipated funding level
($500,000) for Fiscal Year 2000-2001. In anticipation of this, the City of Corpus Christi, as
Fiscal Agent, called for proposals from the community. Public notice of this was advertised in
the newspaper February 26 and March 4, 2000 and all current subcontractors ware informed.
Twelve proposals requesting funding for $ 827,802.00 were reviewed. On May 24, 2000, the
Community Youth Development Steering Committee voted to recommend the following
proposals for submission to TDPRS:
1. Communities In Schools, Inc. - Mentoring, Youth Activities,
Education and Pre-Employment Programs
2. Housing Authority of CC - Youth Activities
3. Park & Recreation Department - Youth Activities
4. Youth Odyssey, Inc. - Youth Activities

20,141.00
33,215.00
89,531.00
$ 500,000.00
The proposals must be received by TDPRS by June 16, 2000 in order to be considered for
funding under the Community Youth Development (CYD) Program. According to TDPRS policy
guidelines for the CYD Program, it is not within the Fiscal Agent's power to adjust or amend
the funding recommendation of the Steering Committee. Any changes to the Steering
Committee's recommendation by the Fiscal Agent will cancel any contract with TDPRS for
Community Youth Development Program funds for Fiscal Year 2000-2001 and the 78415 zip
code area will not receive any funds.
In 1995, the Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services developed a program
to fund local grass roots efforts in the highest juvenile cdme areas of the state by zip cede. The
program created activities that were not currently available within the 78415 zip code area.
These activities were made available to youth ages 17 and under. Eligible activities must fall
within the following categories: mentoring, activities, employment or education.
In FY 98-99, thirteen zip codes in thirteen cities (McAIlen, Galveston, El Paso, Amadllo, Corpus
Chdsti, Brownsville, Austin, Houston, Fort Worth, Dallas, San Antonio, Waco, Lubbock) each
received $500,000 to either continue the same youth programs started the previous year or
begin new programs. For FY 97-98, CYD programs for the 78415 zip code expended
$511,747.91 of the $566,764.40 awarded. The total subcontractor participant goal of 3,718 was
surpassed as 9,095 youth were served during the 97-98 fiscal year, September 1, 1997 to
August 31, 1998.

In December 1998, TDPRS informed all CYD contractors of an opportunity to receive up to an
additional $32,600 to add new programs for youth services in the 78415 zip code. Public notice
of the request for proposals was advertised in the newspaper and proposal request packets
were mailed to outside organizations and all current subcontractors.
On February 16, 1999, City Council approved the programs recommended by the Community
Youth Development Steering Committee to create additional services for the youth in the
78415 zip code. These programs ware Family Camping Weekend and Riding Camp provided
by the City of Corpus Christi Park and Recreation Department and a Summer Academic Camp
provided by Fannin Elementary School (Corpus Christi Independent School District). With the
additional funding, the Community Youth Development Program totaled $ 532,600 for Fiscal
Year 1998-1999. For the period September 1, 1998 to August 31, 1999, 12,706 youth ~

-- AGENGA MEMORANDUM
Date: June 13, 2000
AGENDA ITEM: Motion authorizing the City Manager to submit a Detail Project Application
for Central Power and Light' s Non-Residential Standard Perf6rmance Contract (SPC) Program for
an LED Traffic Signal Changeout Program.
ISSUE: Currently City traffic signals utilize 116 watt incandescent lamps that are changed out
every 18 months. CP&L offers an incentive payment program for consumers to invest in electrical
energy efficient projects. Street Services proposes to pursue an application to this incentive program
to change out the current traffic signals with newer technology LED traffic signals which are more
energy efficient (12 watt avg.) and will save on electrical cost, have life expectancy of 10 years or
more, will reduce the City liability from burnt out traffic signals. Pursuing this application will
require a commitment to purchase the replacement LED traffic signals at an approximate cost of
$1.2M.
FUNDING: Funding for this project will not impact the current FY99/00 budget. The necessary
equipment purchases for this project will impact FY00/01 however the expenditure will be offset by
CP&L's incentive payment and electrical cost savings. The purchase of the LED equipment is
planned to be funded through the City's lease purchase program for a period of 84 months (7years,
the fully warranty period of the LED equipment). As part of the Detail Project Application, the City
will also submit a letter of credit for $17,910. The letter of credit will be returned once the LED
traffic lights have been installed and approved by CP&L.
FUTURE COUNCIL ACTION: ApprovalofthepurchaseoftheLEDreplacementsignals
through the City's lease purchase program and approval of the Standard Performance Contract
(SPC).
RE COMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the motion as presented.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The City currently has several thousand traffic signals and ped lights that operate with 116 watt
incandescent lamps which generally have an 18 month life. Incandescent traffic signals have been
the standard for the traffic industry until recent years when Light Emitting Diode (LED) traffic
signals were developed. The new technology LED traffic signals have several benefits over
incandescent signals they; use approximately 90% less energy than incandescent lamps ( 12 wart vs.
116 watt), have an expected life of more than I0 years, and can reduce the City's liability due to
burnt-out signals. Street Services began investigating convening to this new technology in early
1999. During the investigation it was discovered that Central Power and Light had a program that
would provide financial assistance for energy efficient retrofit projects that could potentially apply
to the LED traffic signal conversion being considered. This program is called the Non-Residential
Standard Performance Contract Program.
The CP&L Non-Residential Standard Performance Contract (SPC) Program was developed to
provide an incentive to consumers of energy services to invest in electric energy-efficiency projects
at commercial and industrial customer facilities. This performance based program offers incentive
payments for verified energy savings, based on a set dollars per kilowart-hour incentive rate. The
SPC Program is a structure program with several steps that must be followed as outlined in the
attached SPC Program Summary.
The Street Services Department began working with CP&L in 1999 to determine if the LED traffic
signal conversion project would qualify for the SPC Program and the potential amount of incentive
payment for the project. In December 1999 a Basic SPC Program Application (the first step in the
program process) was submitted for the proposed LED program and subsequently has been approved
by CP&L. Through this basic application process it has been determined that the CP&L' s incentive
payment for this project would be approximately $358,196. After going through the Detail Project
Application process the incentive pay is now estimated at $365,809. The incentive payment is
provided in two installments; the first payment (in this case an estimated at $146,324) after the
energy efficient system installation is complete and the second payment (in this case an estimated
at $219,485) after a year of verified energy savings.
A cost impact analysis was performed to determine the economic viability of the LED conversion
program. This project involves the replacement of 500 - 3 and 5 section signals, 1165 ped lights,
and 4890 incandescent lamps with LED assemblies. The cost of the replacement materials is
estimated to be $1,178,620. The purchase of these materials is proposed to be financed through the
City's lease purchase program. Attached is the cost analysis comparing the proposed LED Traffic
Signalstothecurrentincandescentsystem. This analysis takes into account the savings in electrical
cost and the CP&L incentive payments for the conversion. As shown in the analysis, over a
conservative I 0 year life of the LED signals, there is a potential to save approximately $770,000 by
convening to LED signals. Additional cost savings could be achieve if the signals last longer than
10 years.
125
In order to proceed in with CP&L's SPC Program the City must now commit to doing the LED
traffic signal conversion by submitting a Detailed Project Appl,.ication (DPA) along with a letter of
credit. The letter of credit will be for $17,9 10 and is returned to the City once the project is complete.
After the DPA is approved and a Measurement and Verification Plan is agreed on, the City must
enter into an SPC Agreement with CP&L. By submitting the DPA it will commit the City to also
purchase and install the LED traffic signals. City Council approval to proceed with this project is
requested.
Shotrid this project be approved, it is estimated that it would take approximately 14 weeks to bid and
receive delivery of the LED assemblies and approx. 6 months to install.

STANDARD PERFORMANCE CONTRACT PROGRAM
PROCESS SUMMARY
CP&L's SPC Program includes two basic'phases. First are the initial project tasks that occur prior to and just
after the installation of the energy efficient measures. Second are the measurement and verification activities
that occur after the energy efficient equipment is installed and ope~,3ting. A summary of the SPC Program
process is as follows:
BasieProiectAppliea~onfBPA). The~rststepintheSPCProgi'amprocessisfortheCitytosubmit
a completed BPA for its proposed project. The BPA includes information about the proposed project and
a general project description. A $250 non-refundable application fee must accompany each BPA. SPC
Program incentive funds for the project are reserved uponCP&L's written approval of the BPA.
Continued reservation for the incentive funding is contingent upon the City submitting an acceptable
Detailed Project Application (DPA).
Detailed Proiect Apnlieation (DPA). The DPA requires a detailed engineering study and contains
information about the baseline; the proposed equipment (LED' s), including equipment counts, equipment
efticiencies, and equipment operating schedules; calculations used to estimate the energy, savings. Each
DPA must be accompanied by a deposit or letter of credit, (the amount based on a percentage of the
estimated total incentive payment). The deposit or letter of credit will be returned once CP&L approves
the Project Installation Report. The DPA, once approved, forms the basis for the contracted energy
savings and becomes part of the SPC Agreement.
Measurement and Verification (M&V} Plan. The M&V Plan is developed by CP&L using project
specific information contained in the DPA. The plan outlines the procedures CP&L will follow to monitor
and verify energy savings from the project. The City has an opportunity to comment on the plan prior to
final agreement.
Execution of SPC Agreement. The SPC Agreement signed by the City and CP&L specifies the
energy efficient measures to be installed, the expected energy savings and total incentive payment, and
the agreed upon M&V approach.
Project Installation and Project Installation Report (PIR). After signing the SPC Agreement,
the City has six (6) months to install the energy efficient measures. After the measures have been
installed, theCitysubmitsaPIRtoCP&L. ThePIRcontainsadetaileddescriptionoftheenergyefficient
equipment that is actually installed and the operating conditions. CP&L will conduct a post installation
inspection of the project to verify that the equipment has been installed properly and is operating
according to its design intent. CP&L's approval of the PIR is contingent upon the result of the post
installation inspection.
Installation Payment. Once CP&L grants it written approval of the PIR, the City can submit an
installation invoice for 40% of the total estimated incentive amount.
Measurement and Verification Renortinl;. During a one year performance period, CP&L will
conduct M&V activities and prepare an M&V Report as specified in the Project M&V Plan. The M&V
Report will summarize the M&V results an will be the basis fotCP&L"s calculation of the project's
energy savings.
Performance Payment. CP&L will issue the performance incentive payment (the final payment) based
on the M&V report. The performance payment is calculated as the difference between the total payment
from one year's worth of energy savings and thlBinstallation payment.

AGENDA ITEM: AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CITY CODE OF
ORDINANCES, CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI CHAPTER 55, UTILITIES,
REGARDING COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS RATES; PROVIDING FOR
SEVERANCE; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND PROVIDING FOR
PUBLICATION.
ISSUE: The City of Corpus Christi Gas Department has worked to identify new markets
for natural gas sales and thereby enhance its revenue position. The sale of compressed
natural gas (CNG) to operate fleet vehicles is a developing market. The sale of CNG
requires the adoption of rate ordinance.
BACKGROUND: The City of Corpus Christi Gas Department has never had a CNG
rate structure. Implementation of a CNG rate structure will provide a new source of
revenue for the City.
Future demand for CNG in Corpus Christi is increasing. The United States Postal Service
has requested the Gas Department to provide CNG service to their local fleet of delivery
vehicles. Additionally, the Texas Department of Transportation has expressed an interest
in CNG service, as have other parties.
CNG offers environmental benefits that may attract fleet owners to convert vehicles to
natural gas, or to purchase new vehicles that run on natural gas. Fleets that use CNG
vehicles include buses, taxis, post office vehicles, shuttles, and government fleets. CNG
vehicles have higher capital costs than conventional gasoline vehicles; so fleet managers
may be interested in operating savings that offset higher up-front costs. Some operating
savings will occur because of reduced maintenance needs. Another potential savings is
in fuel costs.
The Gas Department will implement both Wholesale and Retail rate structures. Wholesale
rate structure (10 or more vehicles) will allow fueling at a slightly lower gasoline gallon
equivalent rate*. The Retail rate structure will be at a slightly higher rate. The following
tables give detail to the structures.
"A Fleet is defined by The Department of Energy as 10 ~r more vehicles.

Current price will be reset periodically to reflect cha~ges in purchased gas costs. Other
elements of the current price, such as the distribution charge, which is included in the cost
of service, may be reset from tim to time. Customers must use card keys provided by the
Gas Department to obtain service. Customers must follow Gas Department instructions
and requirements regarding safe dispensing of compressed natural gas, including any
required training for dispensing fuel. Customers must have vehicles properly fitted for
compressed natural gas as a fuel.
PROJECT HISTORY:
. City Council, on 4/25/00, approved the purchase and installation of the MegaTronics
metering system for a cost of $27,392.85, which will allow the Gas Department to sell
CNG by gasoline gallon equivalents (GGE).
· The City of Corpus Christi Gas Department retained Resource Management
International/Navigant Consulting, Inc. (Navigant Consulting) to develop a rate for
compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling services at a fee of $9,300.00.
131
IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE: Implementation should begin immediately. The
United States Postal Service shall begin construction on the site adjacent to the Gas
Depaf b~ent with in the next two months. The MegaTronics metedng system should ardve

AGENDA ITEM: AMENDING THE CITY CODE OF ODINANCES, CITY OF CORPUS
CHRISTI CHAPTER 55, UTILITES, REGARDING THE ESTABLISMENT OF A BUILDER'S
INCENTIVE PROGRAM TO PROMOTE THE INSTALLATION OF NATURAL GAS
POWERED EQUIPMENT THROUGHOUT THE CITY; PROVIDING FOR SEVERANCE;
PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE; AND PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION.
ISSUE: The City of Corpus Christi Gas Department actively markets the use of natural
gas as a fuel source for residential and commercial use. In order to compete with
electricity marketing programs, the Gas Department is recommending the establishment
of Builder~s Incentive Program to promote the use of natural gas powered equipment. The
establishment of such a program requires adoption by ordinance.
BACKGROUND: The City of Corpus Christi Gas Department initiated a Gas Marketing
Program on February 5, 1985. This included rebates that were paid to potential and
existing natural gas customers. The original rebate structure consisted of:
1985
Water Heater $125.00
Furnace $125.00
Clothes Dryer $ 25.00
Stove((~ook top Rapge $ 25.00
In 1990, the rebates were adjusted to reflect an increase of $75.00 each to the water
heater and furnace, as shown below:
1990
Water Heater $200.00
Furnace $200.00
Clothes Dryer $ 25.00
Stove/Cooktop Range $ 25.00
136
The proposed rebate numbers are based on a payout of two years or less. Since, the cost
of service has increase by 6% for the last five years justifying the proposed increase of the
water heater of $100.00 and the clothes dryer and cook top range of $25.00. The furnace
rebate due to the limited annual usage will remain the sam. In addition, a rebate will be
included for a gaslight. The proposed rebate structure will consist of:
2000
Appliance Amount of Rebate
Water Heater $300.00
Furnace $200.00
Clothes Dryer $ 50.00
Stove/Cook top Range $ 50.00
Gas Light $ 50.00
Amount $650.00
In order to attract single-family "spec." homebuilders, a new rebate program was generated
in which a $500.00 rebate will be issued to the builder for a water heater, subject to the
builder accepting a gaslight. The City of Corpus Christi, Gas Department, free of charge
and inclusive of all parts and labor, will install this light. The home must be plumbed for
a minimum of three gas openings, one of which will be a water heater.
For the first time, the City of Corpus Chdsti will issue a $400.00 rebate in the form of fuel
credits for compressed natural gas vehicles. CNG offers environmental benef'~s that may
attract fleet owners to convert vehicles to natural gas or to purchase new vehicles that run
on natural gas. CNG vehicles have higher capital costs than conventional gasoline
vehicles, so fleet managers may be interested in operating savings that offset higher up~
front costs.
IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE: Implementation should bogin immediately. The
United States Postel Service will have trucks fueling on CNG within the next four months.
Also, a unit of 29 "spec." homes is scheduled to start construction by the end of June
2000.

RE:
Date:
Proposed Builder's Incentive Program
11 May2000
Summary
As you requested, Navigant Consulting, Inc. (NCI0 reviewed the Builder's Incentive
Program currently being developed by CCGD for implementation in the near term. We
believe the program as proposed is an effective mechanism to attract increased market
share for CCGD; the rebate levels appear to be appropriate and within an acceptable
payback range. The program is consistent with the consulting work we have done for
CCGD in assessing gas load improvement opportunities. We recommend prompt
implementation.
Discussion
CCGD has identified an opportunity to influence the energy choice in new residential
construction in Corpus Christi. When dealing with the issue of gas or electric energy
choice, the most effective approach is to target the builders, developers and equipment
providers who make construction decisions and are "upstream" of the individual who
ultimately pumhases the home to live in. A decision to plumb a new home for natural gas
appliances, for example, means that the residence likely will represent a CCGD customer
throughout its life, possibly 30 years or beyond. The lifetime value of a CCGD customer
represents thousands of dollars of revenue for CCGD. An investment by CCGD of a few
hundred dollars to insure the presence of gas appliances in a new home provides a ve~
favorable investment return to the City of Corpus Christi.
The program proposed by CCGD targets two end uses: outdoor gas lighting and water
heating. CCGD plans to install the gas lights at no charge to the developers and to
provide a $500 rebate to the developer to cover the additional (incremental) cost of
plumbing to provide natural gas to the water heater. Under current gas rates, a
conservative payback calculation is 3.25 years. Within the utility industry, average
paybacks for rebams and incentives typically are in the 3-5 year range, but may be as long
'S:D,G LECG Rldi mm METZLEa

as 10 years for certain high value, long-term customers. Given the importance of
capturing market share during the available single window of opportunity in new
construction, i.e., before construction has proceeded too far to make significant structural
changes, NCI recommends prompt implementation of the proposed Builder's Incentive
Program.
In developing the proposed new program, CCGD also is reviewing its existing Appliance
Rebates and is recognizing that the payment amounts need updating because of changing
market conditions. We concur that it is appropriate and important to review and review
incentives to insure that they are having the desired market effect.

ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
BACKGROUND:
Austin Express, Inc., a commuter aidine based in Austin, has requested to lease space
at the airport to operate scheduled non-stop service between Corpus Chdsti and Austin
beginning July 5, with four round tdp flights daily, Monday through Fdday. Austin
Express is a new aidine started by the former management team of Conquest Airlines.
Austin Express is FAA certified and has successfully serviced the Austin - Tyler route
forthe past two years. Controlling interest in the company was recently purchased by
Larry Risley, founder of Mesa Air Group, now a major prorider of regional jet and
commuter service as both Mesa Aidines and Amedca West Express. Austin Express
has provided the proof of insurance in the categories and amounts prescribed by Risk
Management, and the financial information required for aidines operating at the Airport.

Between aidines
Due to contractual and accounting method differences at airports, it is very difficult to
compare rates and charges of other airports with those at Corpus Christi International
Airport. The best common denominator is the amount paid 'by the aidines per enplaned
passenger. The amount paid by the airtines per enpianed passenger in 1999 was $ 4.59,
which places Corpus Chdsti International Airport in the lower cost range of airports. The
estimated national average fee is $ 8.00 per enplaned passenger.
The Agreement includes a Majority-In-Interest (51%) clause which allows the Aidines to
vote on any Capital Improvement which will affect the Aidines rates and charges by
10% or more in a fiscal year. This is a standard form of insurance to the Aidines that
the rates will not be altered signfficantly without their input.
INSURANCE: Not less than $10,000,000.00 per occurrence. City named additional
insured.
MAINTENANCE UTILITIES:
The City is required to provide the normal utility services to the leased areas, including
water, sewer, HVAC services, computer conduit, and provide boiler heat.
The City is responsible forthe maintenance of the airfield and land side, the building
structure, public areas and primary equipment and se.',~ices. The airtines are
responsible for the maintenance and cleaning of their leased space.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
June 6, 2000
SUBJECT: Corpus Chdsti International Airport Terminal Reconstruction
AGENDA ITEM:
la. Resolution authorizing City Manager, or designee, to accept the Federal Aviation
Administration multi-year grant number AlP 3-48-0051-28-00 (estimated total $6,449,476)
to modify the terminal building.
1 b. Ordinance appropriating $3,215,524 from Federal Aviation Administration Grant No.
3-48-0051-28-00 in the No. 3020 Airport Capital Improvement Fund to modify the terminal
building; and declaring an emergency.
ISSUES:
1. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a multi-year (FY 1999, 2000,
2001, 2002) grant offer to the City on Tuesday, May 30, 2000 for entitlement
funding, as authorized by Title 49 United States Code, under the Airport
Improvement Program to fund the terminal reconstruction program. The FAA Grant
offer must be accepted within 30 days or the offer is no longer valid. Accepting and
appropriating the grant is needed to award future construction contracts and will
assist with the upcoming General Airport Revenue Bond (GARB) sale. The specific
project included in the multi-year grant offer and special conditions thereto follow:
Terminal: Due to the special circumstances of the Terminal program, FAA's
grant offer for entitlement funds totaling $6,449,476 is authorized to be spent
on planning, design, and reconstruction activities of the Terminal Building.
The offer includes Congressional appropriations of entitlement funds for FY
1999 and 2000 ($3,215,524) and an estimate of FY 2001 and 2002
(estimated to be $3,233,952). Amendments to the grant will be offered for
FY 2001 and 2002 based upon Congressional appropriations.
RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Resolution and Ordinance as presented.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
BACKGROUND: With the recent reauthorization of the four-year Airport Improvement
Program (ALP) spending bill, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proceeding with
offering Grant funding to airports for Fiscal Year 2000. The Aviation Department has
previously requested a multi-year AlP Grant to assist with the funding for the new Terminal
Building (FY99-2002). As the AlP bill is authorized until 2003, the FAA will amend the
grant to the appropriated level.
The FAA offered the Multi-year AlP Grant on Tuesday, May 30, 2000. The City must take
action to accept the Federal funding within 30 days or the grant offer expires. The grant
is an integral part of the Council approved financial plan. A General Airport Revenue Bond
sale (GARB) backed by Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) revenues for eligible and airport
generated revenues for the ineligible portions of the project is expected to be needed at
the end of July in order to award the construction projects. The GARB documents will be
completed toward the end of June, with an anticipated Council action requested on the
GARB sale at the end of July or August 2000.
In addition, the Aviation Department was notified by the FAA on April 19,2000, that the
FAA is preparing to offer a discretionary grant (AlP No. 3-48-0051-29-00) for a
replacement Aircraft Rescue Firefighting (ARFF) vehicle, once bids have been
received. $504,000 in FAA FY 2000 Discretionary Funds is the anticipated amount
needed to replace an existing ARFF vehicle with a new 1500-gallon ARFF vehicle with
a high reach extendible turret and penetrating nozzle. The ARFF vehicle being
replaced has become mechanically unreliable and expensive to maintain. This
replacement vehicle is necessary for CCIA to maintain its FAA mandated Index for
Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting response capability. CCIA ARFF vehicle specifications
have been reviewed by the FAA, and the City will soon advertise for bids.
ADDITIONAL FUNDING INFORMATION: The Multi-year AlP Grant will offer the
estimated amount of entitlement monies through FY 2002. However, at this time the FAA
will only authorize expenditures of the FY99 and FY2000 appropriations, totaling
$3,215,524.
Congress must appropriate AlP Funding for FY 2001 and FY 2002 prior to their authorizing
our expenditures. The House of Representatives has passed the FY 2001 AlP
appropriations bill with the fully authorized grant funding of $3.2 billion, the Senate is
expected to take action in the very near future. CCIA's anticipated AlP Entitlement Funds
are an estimated $3 million for each year. However, for our Multi-year AlP Grant, FAA is
using the amount authorized for FY 1999 ($1,616,976) for these two years pending
Congressional approvals. The FAA will amend CCIA's Multi-year AIP Grant as each future
year AlP Entitlement monies are appropriated.

Also, the $504,000 in FAA FY 2000 Discretionary Funds is based on an estimated cost for
the replacement ARFF vehicle. The actual amount of the Discretionary Grant offer, not to
exceed $504,000, will be based upon the bids received.
PRIOR COUNCIL/ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS: Council has taken numerous actions
associated with this project. The more significant are attached. See Exhibit B.
FUTURE COUNCIL ACTIONS:
1. Approval of the General Airport Revenue Bond (GARB) sale.
2. Approval of testing, construction and other contracts to complete the construction
of the terminal apron and new terminal building projects.
3. Resolution to accept discretionary grant for ARFF vehicle replacement.
4. Approval of purchase contract for an ARFF vehicle.
5. Resolution to accept grant amendments for the FY 2001 and 2002 appropriations.
IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE: Construction documents for the entire terminal
reconstruction project will be let for bid in June 2000. Current scheduling indicates that
contract award may occur in late July or August 2000.
BOARD/COMMITTEE REVIEW: The resolution to accept the grant offer was reviewed
and is recommended by the Airport Board.

FROM: W. Thomas Utter, Assistant City Manager.~.~~
DATE: June 8, 2000
SUBJECT: Request for Meeting of the Corpus Christi Community Improvement

I am requesting that a meeting of the Corpus Christi Community Improvement
Corporation (CCCIC) be held during the Council meeting of June 13, 2000 to
consider the following:
1. Appointment of Treasurer: The Treasurer position has been vacant for several
months and is typically held by the City's Finance Director. With the recent
appointment of Mr. Jorge Cruz-Aedo, I am requesting that Mr. Cruz-Aedo be appointed
as Treasurer of the CCCIC.
2. Appointment of CCCIC Loan Review Committee Members: The committee is
composed of eleven members and its purpose is to review and approve loans for low
and moderate income individuals being assisted through our Rehabilitation Loan

consists of two members from financial institutions, one member from Health and
Human Services, and three members from the community at large.
a) Appointing a new CCCIC Loan Review Committee Member: The Loan Review
Committee has a vacancy that needs to be filled since Mr. Leroy San Miguel has
indicated that he does not wish to be reappointed. Although there are four persons
that have indicated a desire to serve on the committee, none meet the above
requirements except Mr. Randy Farrar (qualified homebuilder). Mr. Farrar is
recommended for appointment.

Committee has four members whose terms will expire in May that are interested in
being reappointed.

Staff recommends reappointment of these members.
Authorization of Acquisition of Lots 33-40, Block 1602, Bay Terrace #2
Subdivision in the amount of $19,084 for the Summer Youth Works Program:
This authorization is to purchase eight (8) vacant 25' wide lots at the intersection of
Elizabeth and 19th Streets. These lots will be combined into four lots which will be used
as a construction site for the three homes to be built under the Youth Works Program.
The Youth Works Program which was previously approved by the City Council is
funded through a $22,750 grant from both School to Careers and the Workforce
Development Corporation, and is designed to involve at-risk youths in the building
trades. The purpose of the program is to provide the youths an opportunity to
determine if they are interested in pursuing a career within the building trades. We
have received a grant from Workforce Network, Inc. to provide mentoring and
supervision for the youth and the City Council has previously appropriated those funds
for the project. There is $45,000 available from the CCCIC's New Construction
Homebuyer Assistance Program available to assist low and moderate income persons
in the purchase of the homes planned for construction in this program and the
acquisition cost of $19,084 is available from the HOME Program. (The acquisition cost
is the actual tax rate value.) Local lending institutions are participating in the program
by lending the prospective homeowners the funds to purchase the homes. This
authorization would be a temporary use of CCCIC funds since the purchase price of the
property will be included in the homeowner's mortgage.
Attached is a brief synopsis of the program.
204
Synopsis
Youth Works Program
The purpose of this program is to empower high school students with construction
trade skills by building 3 houses during the contract period. The students involved will
learn valuable trade skills as they build a house from the ground up including all facets
of the job. This includes but is not limited to electrical, plumbing, masonry, air
conditioning installation, and framing.
MBOC will coordinate the Youth Works training program. In order to fully develop this
program MBOC will use these grant funds to provide on site mentors while these three
homes are being built. The mentors will act as a liaison between the general contract
on the project and the students being trained.
Del Mar College will develop long term strategies to accompany Youth Works with Del
Mar curriculum.
Wells Fargo Bank will provide the up front construction costs for building materials as
well as supply the eventual homeowner with a below-market interest mortgage loan.
Coastal Bend Workfome Development Board will make available grant funds to pay the
salaries of the youth that re being trained (this grant).
The City of Corpus Chdsti's Housing and Community Development will provide the land
for the first project as well as provide some of the construction costs.
The Business Roundtable will provide safety management training to the youth that are
being trained.
The Associated General Contractors will develop plans and specifications for the
homes to be built and help coordinate the Youth Works training program with MBOC.
In addition, the AGC is in a position to hire students from the work site into full time
jobs.
