The invocation was delivered by Pastor Michael P. Groves, Southside Community Church, following which the Pledge of Allegiance to the United States flag was led by Council Member Kinnison. City Secretary Chapa called the roll and verified that the necessary quorum of the Council and the required charter officers were present to conduct the meeting. Mayor Neal called for approval of the minutes of the regular Council meeting of June 13,2000. A motion was made and passed to approve the minutes as presented. Mayor Neal announced the executive session, pursuant to Texas Government Code Section 551.071, regarding cable television franchise renewal for AT&T Cable. The Council went into executive session. *Council Member Colmenero arrived at the meeting at 11:45 am. The Council returned from executive session. ************* Mayor Neal referred to the presentations on the day's agenda. First he acknowledged the achievements of the Calallen High School baseball team as the Class 4A State Champions and he presented each team member and coach with a special recognition. The second presentation was made by the Mayor's July 4th Planning Committee, including Ms. Diana Garza, Assistant to the Mayor, Mr. Joe Ochoa, Buccaneer Commission, and Ms. Debbie Lindsey-Opel, representing H-E-B Company. They described events planned for the "Big Bang Celebration," including the parade and fireworks events. Minutes - Regular Council Meeting June 20, 2000 Page 2 The third presentation was made by Ms. Char Beltran, CEO of the Corpus Christi Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) regarding their quarterly update. Ms. Beltran said the CVB has continued to focus on the four priorities jointly developed by the CVB staff, interim board, and stakeholders. The priorities are to update technology; develop market research; create partnerships; and bring accountability by instituting realistic and specific performance measures. She said the most recent report from Source Strategies states that during the first quarter of 2000, room revenues are up 5.6% over 1999; the average daily rate is up 1.4%; occupancy is up 0.7%; and revenue per room is up 0.81 %. She said increases in all four of those areas is a positive indicator. Ms. Beltran further described the CVB's efforts to meet its four priorities. Regarding updating technology, she said that the CVB's website continues to perform above expectations. She said since being launched in February 1999, the site has had 255,344 user sessions and 7,113 room reservation requests for hotels. In addition, the CVB has leased new hardware from Dell Computers which allows their staff to use new convention sales software. Ms. Beltran said the CVB continues to expand their market research through online surveys and, when funds are available, through contracting research firms to determine the viability of certain markets. She said the CVB is continuing to develop partnerships with other entities, which is another one of the organization's priorities. Those partnerships include The Beaches of Texas program with Galveston and South Padre Island; with the San Antonio CVB and the San Antonio Visitors Council, in which Corpus Christi is positioned as "San Antonio's Beach"; and with Viva Gaming in Las Vegas to promote the "Texas Treasure" gaming ship. The Corpus Christi CVB has also worked closely with the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce to identify domestic Hispanic conventions and meetings, as well as possibly outsourcing the Mexico marketing program to the Hispanic Chamber. Regarding accountability, Ms. Beltran said the CVB has been actively measuring return on investment in a variety of ways. She noted that each month the Council receives activity reports, multi-level booking reports, and lost business reports. She said the CVB has hired Mr. Joey Jarreau as the Director of Sales and Marketing and Ms. Martha Kleine as the new Senior Convention Sales Manager (she starts July 1st). Ms. Beltran also reviewed the CVB' s year-to-date status report, citing figures for convention sales, communications and public relations, tourism sales, Mexico sales, and the Visitor Center. She said the CVB's approved goals for the FY 2000-01 program of work are 39 Bayfront Plaza bookings; generating 200 qualified convention leads; and booking 120,000 room nights, as well as goals in other areas. Ms. Beltran responded to some Council questions. Mr. Bert Quintanilla, Treasurer of the CVB Board, explained the budget process that the new independent board has followed, including holding a planning retreat and another retreat to streamline the CVB' s budget. Mr. Bill Pruet, Chairman of the CVB Board, said they understand the pressure that the city's General Fund budget is experiencing and the steps being taken to balance the budget. Consequently, he said the board looked only to the hoteVmotel tax revenues as a source of additional funding for 2 - Minutes - Regular Council Meeting June 20, 2000 Page 3 the CVB. He said the hoteVmotel revenues increased $105,000 this year over last year; there was a decrease in debt service at the convention center of $90,000: there was an increase in funding for arts/cultural services of $45,000; and there was an increase in funding for the convention center, coliseum, and auditorium of$195.000. Mr. Pruet said if the Council believes that tourism is a significant industry for the community and the CVB is playing a proper role in developing that industry, then their request for additional funding of $185,000 in next year"s budget is justified. He said of that amount, $132,000 is the increased obligation that the CVB has for the Columbus ships' plaza, as well as an increase in insurance of $35,000. He also recognized the board members who were present. Council members then asked several questions of Ms. Beltran, Mr. Pruet, Mr. Jarreau, and City Manager Garcia regarding several issues. including the CVB's website, budget figures, Columbus ships, Mexico marketing effort, developing convention leads, and the CVB's debt obligations. * * * * * * * * * * * * * Mayor Neal called for petitions from the audience. Mr. Jack Gordy, 310 Norton St., said the American flag flying in front of City Hall is dirty and ragged and needs to be replaced. He also commented that the flag flying in front of Fire Station #7 is not being illuminated at night as required. Mr. Manuel Ugues, President of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, said their board thinks that the Latin market program is a good investment opportunity that has not been captured completely. He described a recent trade mission to Monterrey, Mexico, and he discussed the need to expand those relationships. Mr. Isaac Valencia, President of the Corpus Christi Police Officers Association, discussed why he feels the last 10 officers for the Crime Control and Prevention District should be hired as originally planned and not deferred as is being recommended by the crime control district board. He said this is not the time to eliminate those positions now that crime rates are going down. He added that community oriented policing has not been fully implemented, which takes manpower, and he said not hiring the officers would constitute breaking a promise to the public. Mr. Abel Alonzo, 1701 Thames, said that without public transportation, persons with disabilities would not have as much mobility as they do, which would limit their ability to be active in the community. He said the Regional Transportation Authority has been run very efficiently and he commented on the funding that the RT A provides to the city. Ms. Debbie Lindsey-Opel, Chair-Elect of the Corpus Christi Chamber of Commerce, said the Chamber board passed a resolution urging the adoption of the City of Corpus Christi bond issue in November 2000. She also offered the board's assistance in promoting the bond program. Referring 3 Minutes - Regular Council Meeting June 20, 2000 Page 4 to a comment made during the CVB discussion, Ms. Lindsey-Opel pointed out that the funding stream was not split three ways when the Greater Corpus Christi Business Alliance was split into the Chamber of Commerce, Convention and Visitors BurealL and Economic Development Corporation. Mr. Leon Perez, 904 Buford, said that while crime may be down overall, it has not declined in his neighborhood. He said there is much commotion around a bar near his house but he said he has not seen much police presence there. Mr. Perez also questioned why the city is having financial difficulties. Mr. J.E. O'Brien, 4130 Pompano, acknowledged that the Council has some very difficult decisions facing them during this budget process. He said he thought the CVB presentation was impressive, and he questioned why public comment on the budget is not being solicited until the public hearing and the first and second readings of the budget ordinance. Mr. O'Brien added that last week's agenda stated that the Council would have a budget workshop (at which time actions are not to be taken), but two motions were made and passed regarding the budget last week. Mr. R.F. Hasker, 1813 Wallace, said tax dollars should be spent on people's necessities, such as public safety, and not on tourism, the museum, and downtown entities. He said the city should not be placed in greater debt. Mr. Gonzalo Tamez, Vice President ofLULAC Council 4444, said they passed a resolution stating their opposition to the recommendation to eliminate the two assistant chief positions in the Police Department budget. He said the assistant chiefs serve an important role in the department. Ms. Agnes Horn commented on the recent Memorial Day ceremony at Sherrill Park. She said there were not enough chairs and they also needed a portable restroom and water available. Mayor Neal commented that Memorial Day is an exception and that most of the time there are sufficient chairs for the veterans' ceremonies. Mr. Hasker said water and food were available. ************* The third presentation was regarding the Regional Transportation Authority's street maintenance contribution. City Manager Garcia said that about three weeks ago the Council requested additional information about the city's agreement with the RTA. Ms. Barbara Stover, Director of Street Services, gave a computer presentation about the RT A's agreement. She explained that in 1985 the city and the RT A approved an interJocal agreement which established the Street Improvement Fund consisting of $200,000 per year for street maintenance. In 1991 the RT A initiated the Transportation Assistance Fund, which started as a one- time payment of $480,000 which the city used to support the EMS system. That fund was continued until FY 98-99, when a new interlocal agreement was approved which established the Street Improvement Program, a combination of the two previous funds. Ms. Stover said there are three parts to the Street Improvement Program. The first element 4 - Minutes - Regular Council Meeting June 20, 2000 Page 5 consists of $93 7,000 for general purpose street improvements on designated RT A routes. The second part involves $500,000 for specific R T A needs, such as bus pads and bus turnouts. The third part is the Livable Communities Initiative, which consists of grant funds available to the RTA and used on a mutually agreed-upon project. She said the Street Improvement Program, which must be renewed every year, is funded through a percentage of sales tax receipts. Ms. Stover then showed slides of street damage around RT A bus stops, as well as an example of a bus pad. She said that while RT A contributions have helped support street maintenance needs and street reconstruction projects, they have had no correlation to the actual pavement life consmned by R T A vehicles. She noted that every vehicle that drives on the street consumes pavement life, and larger vehicles contribute a disproportionate amount of wear and tear on street pavement. Using accepted street pavement design methods, that wear and tear can be calculated, which she explained. She also referred to a survey of other mass transit authorities and the per capita amounts contributed. The Street Services Director said that city staff and RTA officials are finalizing the list of special projects and street maintenance to be included in the year 2000 inter/ocal agreement at the same level as the 1999 agreement. However, she said there should be a correlation between the contributions to the city and the pavement life consumed by RTA vehicles. She said the present contribution of $1.4 million falls short of the estimated pavement consumption of $2.4 million. Mayor Neal asked about the allocation of the RTA's contribution, which was explained by Mr. Garcia, Mr. Rudy Garza, Acting Budget Director, and Mr. Ron Massey, Assistant City Manager for Public Works and Utilities. Mr. Garcia noted that the $1.4 million annual contribution consists of approximately $900,000, which can only be used for repairs on selected streets; and $500,000, which can only be used for bus pads, turnouts and other restricted projects. He said if the city received additional money from the R T A, they would have to negotiate with them about how that money can be used. He said the city's street repair and reconstruction program is much more comprehensive than just those street sections damaged by RTA vehicles. Ms. Linda Watson, RTA General Manager, said the RTA operates 60 fixed-route buses on city streets and only 24% of those are the large 40-foot buses. She said they are continuing to downsize the RTA fleet. She said according to RTA's calculations, they operate only 9.1% ofaIl heavy vehicle miles on city streets. She said the city has 240 vehicles that weigh over 28,000 pounds. In addition, she said they also operate on only 12% of all city street miles although they are being asked to pay almost 49% of the street maintenance budget. Ms. Watson acknowledged that much of the wear and tear occurs at bus stops, which is why the RT A felt it was important to direct some of their funds to construct bus pads to prevent future problems. Council Member Gonzales asked if the city charged BFI and other companies which have heavy vehicles a fee for using the city's streets, and Mr. Garcia said they do not, although staffhas discussed with the Council about the possibility of instituting a street use fee. He said the city will continue its negotiations with the R T A on another inter/oeal agreement. Responding to other Council members' questions, Ms. Watson said the RTA does not agree 5 Minutes - Regular Council Meeting June 20, 2000 Page 6 with the formula discussed by Ms. Stover. She said there are very few transit systems in the country which provide funds to cities for streets, and of the ones in Texas which do, none of those use a formula--the contributions are negotiated. She also discussed the RTA's contribution to Nueces Counry and she introduced board members who were present. ************* The fourth presentation was regarding the Junior League's Graffiti Wipeout Program. Ms. Brooke Sween-McGloin said that program has been in existence since 1996 and they hold nine graffiti wipeout sessions per year (one per month). She said Junior League members do not believe they should allow gangs to advertise and they support the protection and preservation of a clean, healthy, safe environment for their children, themselves, and future generations. She said the program is designed to combat youth violence and she noted that due to their concentrated efforts at Kids Place, the graffiti there is dramatically subsiding. In addition, the Junior League executed a trial agreement with city staff to eradicate graffiti on city traffic signal boxes. Ms. Sween-McGloin said the Graffiti Wipeout Subcommittee studied graffiti ordinances throughout the state and they discovered that compared to other Texas cities, Corpus Christi's current ordinance lacks several tools to eradicate graffiti. She said they have worked with other local entities interested in the eradication of graffiti and are recommending several amendments to the city's ordinance. They include requiring that property owners be responsible for removing graffiti within 30 days, either by doing it themselves or by signing a permission slip allowing a graffiti eradication group to remove it at no charge. Ms. Sween-McGloin said another recommendation is to increase the fines to not less than $500, and for the city to work with the newly formed Graffiti Task Force composed of members of several entities. She said they would also like to establish a three-part system consisting of a warning, written notification, and court action for failure to comply. Mr. Tony Cisneros, Director of Park and Recreation, said that if a city facility is "tagged" with graffiti, staff acts as quickly as possible to remove it. He also discussed the importance of the public-private partnership that has been developed among the several entities, including the city and the Junior League. Mr. Cisneros and City Attorney Bray responded to Council members' questions regarding specific aspects of the proposed amendments. Mr. Joe Alley, with the Nueces County Juvenile Department, said that since 1993 that department has been ':wolved in painting over graffiti with donated paint and volunteer labor. He said that over the years they have had problems with property owners who have not been willing to have graffiti on their property painted over for a variety of reasons. He said one advantage of this program is its collaborative nature in which a community group is dealing with a community problem. He urged the Council to approve the recommended amendments. Responding to Council Member Garrett, Mr. Bray said that a property owner cannot be held liable until they have rejected having a volunteer organization remove the graffiti for free. 6 - Minutes - Regular Council Meeting June 20, 2000 Page 7 Mayor Neal called for a brief recess. * * * * * * * * * * * * * Mayor Neal referred to Item J., departmental review of the FY2000-0l budget. City Manager Garcia stated that last week they discussed in length the revenue projections and the ending fund balance for next year. He said this week they will begin discussing expenditures, particularly in individual departments. Council Member Kinnison said that last week the Council began framing the budget process through the revenues and the ending fund balance. He said those steps were well received by the bond rating agencies when city officials met with them on June 19th. However, he said he felt the Council needed to deal with the suggestion that was made about raising taxes to help balance the budget. He said that is a philosophical question that colors all of the budget considerations, and he explained why he would not support a property tax increase in support of the budget. CotmciI Member Gonzales said the Council discussed the revenue portion of the budget last week and he questioned why the issue of a property tax increase was being brought up at this time. He said he thought the Council should follow the process. Mr. Kinnison then made a motion that the Council go on record that they will not support a tax increase while framing the budget; the motion was seconded by Council Member Scott. Council Member Betty Jean Longoria said she would not support Mr. Kinnison's motion because the Council was just starting the budget process and they need to keep their options open. Dr. Gonzales questioned how the Council could not support a tax increase when the bond program in November contains a 3.75-cent tax increase. He said the option of raising taxes is an important tool that has been given to City Councils. Mr. Scott said the Council needs to frame the budget to live within their means, saying that they cannot raise taxes for the budget at the same time they hope to have the bond issue approved by voters. Council Member John Longoria said he also supported the motion because it is not appropriate to raise taxes to balance the budget at this time. Responding to Mayor Neal, City Secretary Chapa said Mr. Kinnison's motion gives direction for the rest of the budget discussions. He said the final decisions on the budget will not be made until the first and second readings of the budget ordinance. Following another brief discussion, Mr. Chapa polled the Council and the motion passed by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero, Garrett, Kinnison, 1. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye"; Gonzales and B. Longoria voting "No"; Cooper absent. Police Chief Pete Alvarez then gave a computer presentation on the Police Department budget. He said the FYOO-Ol proposed budget is $39.69 million and the FY99-00 adopted budget is $38.3 million, or a 3.5% increase. He outlined specific budget line items which have experienced 7 Minutes - Regular Council Meeting June 20. 2000 Page 8 increases: sworn officers' salaries. $294,592; operational expenses. $478,214; internal service allocations, $337,165; and group insurance benefits, $497,015. Chief Alvarez also discussed the proposed reductions as follows: no police academy next fiscal year; the elimination of six civilian positions (two dispatch trainees, one office assistant, one stock clerk, one maintenance mechanic, and one garage service person); a decrease in overtime costs by $68.904; deletion of two assistant chief positions; and the elimination through attrition of two lieutenant positions and one captain position. The Chief also further discussed overtime costs. Throughout his presentation, Chief Alvarez and City Manager Garcia and Mr. Garza responded to Council members' questions regarding several issues, including the department's authorized strength, the police academy, and the elimination of the civilian and assistant chiefs' positions. Mr. Garcia stated that he recommended cutting the assistant chiefs' positions--it was not Chief Alvarez's recommendation. Regarding service level objectives, Chief Alvarez said they have budgeted for 35 replacement marked vehicles to accommodate the loss of3.5 vehicles per month; continue the Crime Control District projects scheduled for deployment in August 2000, including five bike patrol officers, two traffic safety, three walking motors, and five directed patrol; address attrition in the dispatch function; and continue the community policing plan. There was additional discussion on those issues. Chief Alvarez pointed out that the collective bargaining contract ends in July and there is no salary increase included in the FYOO-O I budget. He said they will continue to strictly monitor the department's overtime expenses (prior supervisory approval will be required), and no unmarked units will be scheduled for replacement. The Chief described the current staffing structure, which consists of two assistant chiefs; six commanders overseeing the following divisions: training, professional standards, criminal investigation, community relations, uniform, and vice/narcotics/organized crime; 18 captains; and 35 lieutenants. He then discussed an alternative proposal to reduce staffing. In lieu of eliminating the two assistant chief positions, he suggested that they attrition out one assistant chief position as well as three captain positions (the two assistant chiefs and five captains are already eligible for retirement). Chief Alvarez also responded to additional Council questions. Rather than proceeding to the next budget presentation, it was determined that those two presentations (Street Services and Park and Recreation) would be postponed until next week's meeting at 9 a.m. The Mayor then called for a brief recess. * * * * * * * * * * * * * Mayor Neal called for consideration of the consent agenda (Items 2-17).

Mr. Garza said staff is recommending adoption of the previously submitted budget. City Manager Garcia said they will be exploring additional revenue sources in the coming year and they anticipate making some modifications depending on those efforts. The Mayor called for public comment. Mr. Abel Alonzo said he agreed with the officer who spoke earlier in the meeting that if the crime control board does not hire the remaining 10 police officers, they will be breaking a promise made to the public when they approved the creation of the crime control district. He said as a result, the bond election will not be approved in November. Council members and Mr. Garza pointed out that the proposed crime control budget for FYOO-OI merely continues the programs as originally established and there is no long-term commitment on the part of the Council with this vote. Mr. Leon Loeb, president of the crime control board, said the FYOO-Ol budget would not have included any additional officers in any case. He said city staff and the crime control board have been working very hard to create a program that can be funded within the district's revenue stream. Mayor Neal said they can hire the remaining 10 police officers; however, if they do so and make no changes to the programs that are in place, there will be a deficit of $1.2 million in the sixth year. A discussion ensued. Responding to Council Member Gonzales, Mr. Loeb said at the board's last meeting they decided to stay with the existing juvenile assessment center program for next fiscal year until they decide to take other action. He said the center has two functions--custody and case analysis and management, which he briefly discussed. Council Member Garrett asked what the original revenue estimates were. Mr. Loeb said he thought it was approximately $4.8 million and now it is $3.7 million. Mr. Garrett said he resented people telling the Council that they have broken a promise since the five-year period for the crime control district has not yet expired and all 50 police officers may yet be hired. Dr. Gonzales said they have been told and they need to accept that the final 10 officers will not be hired because there is not enough revenue to support them. In reply to Council Member Betty Jean Longoria, Mayor Neal said when the crime control budget was originally formulated, it was expected that the 1/8th cent sales tax would apply to telecommunications but it did not. He said there may be an effort to begin collecting that revenue, which would garner approximately $200,000. Dr. Gonzales said he wanted to receive more information about the operation of the juvenile assessment center. Council Member Kinnison also asked about the budget for the assessment center, and Mr. Loeb said the board will be back with a report and a budget amendment if necessary in October 18 Minutes - Regular Council Meeting June 20. 2000 - Page 19 2000. He said the board will address the school police partnership issue at their July meeting. He explained that all of the adjustments regarding funding the ongoing programs occurred after the statutory process for adopting the district's budget for FYOO-O I. Mr. Kinnison pointed out that if the crime control district is not continued after the fifth year, there will be no district revenues to pay for the 40 police officers who will have already been hired. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows: 21. RESOLUTION NO. 024074 Resolution approving the FYOO-O I budget for the Corpus Christi Crime Control and Prevention District. The foregoing resolution passed by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero. Garrett, Gonzales, B. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye"; Kinnison and J. Longoria voting "No"; Cooper absent. * * * * * * * * * * * * * Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 24, bond election list of projects. City Manager Garcia said they hoped to reach consensus on the ad valorem portion of the bond issue at that meeting. With regard to the three I/8th-cent sales tax initiatives, he said they have already had several presentations on the seawall project and they received a letter from the Texas Attorney General's Office basically saying the project can proceed as planned. He said staff will be presenting a report next week about the multi-purpose arena and the economic development sales tax. Deputy City Manager Noe referred to a computer presentation that the Council had been previously given about the whole bond issue. He explained that when the $2.2 million budget was developed for the five street resurfacing (overlay) projects, it was assumed that the work would be done in-house. However, that will not be the case, which results in an additional $433,000 being needed. In addition, those five projects will trigger the requirement to comply with ADA regulations regarding sidewalks, curb cuts and traffic signals for an additional $1.3 million; the total cost of both elements is approximately $1.75 million. With those additional requirements, it will cost $3.9 million (instead of $2.2 million) to complete the five resurfacing projects in their entirety. He said the alternatives are as follows: increase the bond issue to fund the total amount, which would result in a bond issue of $30.8 million and a tax rate increase of 4 cents; identify supplemental project funding (such as CDBG funds); adjust the projects or project length to the budget; or eliminate the resurfacing projects. which would result in either reducing the bond issue or reallocating the $2.2 million to other projects. Mr. Noe said staff's recommendation is to allocate $2.2 million for the first three resurfacing projects: Up River Road (IH-37 to Leopard), Alameda (Parade to Ocean), and Ayers (SPID to Port). That would result in the last two projects not being constructed: Gollihar (Crosstown to Kostoryz) and South Staples (Gollihar to Williams). He noted that the projects were originally listed in priority 19 Minutes - Regular Council Meeting June 20, 2000 Page 20 order by the Street Department staff and he added that the last two projects could be deferred until a planned bond program after the completion of this bond program in about three years. Council Member Gonzales said the Council told the public during the course of six bond hearings that the bond issue would include the projects presented. Council Member Scott said they told the public that they would have to fmalize the list. Responding to Council Member Colmenero, Mr. Noe said the ADA requirements were included in the budget estimates for the neighborhood street reconstruction projects included in the bond issue, but they were not included in the street resurfacing projects. Mr. Colmenero said he would not support deferring the Gollihar and South Stapies projects. Council Member Betty Jean Longoria said she thought it was misleading to talk about a "second" three-year bond issue. Mayor Neal asked if the $400,000 allocated for the sidewalk accessibility improvements for the disabled could be redirected toward the $545,050 needed for the ADA sidewalk requirements as part of the resurfacing projects. Mr. Angel Escobar, Director of Engineering Services, said the $400,000 is the city's 20% share to match the state's portion for the total of$1.6 million. A brief discussion ensued about utilizing CDBG funds to make up the $1.1 million difference. In reply to a question from the Mayor, City Attomey Bray said that federal case law states that at least some degree of resurfacing requires ADA improvements. Mr. Escobar explained that there is a difference between an extensive resurfacing project and seal coating projects that take place throughout the city. Mr. Noe also explained how staff determined that the ADA requirements had been left out when the Engineering staff was refining the budget estimates for the bond projects. Council Member Kinnison discussed the group of projects under the heading "Renovation! Development of Existing Parks." He noted that $100,000 has been allocated to seven parks and $200,000 to an eighth park. He said he would prefer reducing the amounts going to those parks and set aside funding for undesignated neighborhood parks to be spent as the needs are identified. Mr. Cisneros said that the projects consist of facilities improvements and replacements at the parks, which includes meeting ADA requirements. Mr. Kinnison asked which parks qualify for CDBG funding. Mr. Cisneros replied that they are Los Encinos Park, Oak Park, and South Bluff Park. Following a brief discussion, Mr. Kinnison made a motion to reduce the funding for Los Encinos Park, Oak Park, and South Bluff Park to $50,000 each and that the remaining $150,000 total for the three parks would come from CDBG funding over a four-year period. In addition, the $150,000 savings in the bond issue could be reprogrammed for some neighborhood parks. The motion died for lack of a second. Referring to page 218 in the background material for the bond issue, Dr. Gonzales made a motion to list items #1 - #5 under the heading of "Health and Safety" as a separate vote on the bond issue ballot; seconded by Mrs. Longoria. A voice vote was called and the motion passed unanimously (Cooper absent). 20 - Minutes - Regular Council Meeting June 20, 2000 Page 21 Mayor Neal made amotion that items #6 - #32 as stated on pages 218 and 219 be a separate vote on the ballot under the heading of "Park and Recreation." The motion was seconded by Mr. Scott and it passed unanimously (Cooper absent). Mayor Neal also made a motion to increase the funding for items #45 - #49 from $2.267 million to $4.017 million, which changes the total of the bond program to $30.8 million, results in a 4-cent tax increase, and incorporates the other projects as presented. The motion was seconded by Mr. Colmenero and passed unanimously (Cooper absent). Mayor Neal called for the City Manager's report. Mr. Garcia said next week's Council meeting will start at 9 a.m. and will include the Streets and Park and Recreation budget presentations, as well as the convention center and arena assessment studies and the economic development sales tax. Mr. Mario Tapia, Assistant to the City Manager, said the departmental budgets to be discussed next week are Fire, Solid Waste, Health, Municipal Court, Maintenance Services, MIS, Insurance, and Engineering. Referring again to Item 24, Mr. Kinnison made a motion to reduce the funding for St. Andrews Park (item #28) from $100,000 to $75,000 and to reallocate the $25,000 to another neighborhood park which some residents brought forward during the bond hearings. The motion was seconded by Mr. Longoria. City Secretary Chapa asked that the Council approve Item 24 on the agenda as a complete item, which would incorporate the previous amendments made by the Council. Mayor Neal called for public comment on Item 24. Mr. Abel Alonzo thanked the Council for their approval of the ADA requirements and he said he would work hard to promote the passage of the bond program. Mr. Chapa then polled the Council for their votes on Item 24 as follows: 24. M2000-203 Motion authorizing the City Manager to finalize a project list totaling $30,800,000 for the proposed November 7m Bond 2000 Election. The foregoing motion passed, as amended, by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero, Garrett, Gonzales, Kinnison, B. Longoria, J. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye"; Cooper absent. Mayor Neal called for Council concerns and reports. Mrs. Longoria said Mr. Victor Lara Ortegon will be retiring soon and she asked if the Council could recognize his achievements, and Mayor Neal agreed. She also said she serves on the Community Action Agency and she would like to appoint someone to serve in her place. Mrs. Longoria asked that the appointment to the Port of Corpus Christi Authority be placed on next week's agenda and the Mayor agreed. There being no further business to come before the Council, Mayor Neal adjourned the Council meeting at 8:35 p.m. on June 20, 2000. * * * * * * * * * * * * * 21 MUNICIPAL COURT COMMITTEE Minutes of Meeting June 8, 2000 PRESENT Council Member John Longoria, Chairman Council Members Javier Colmenero Rex Kinnison Betty Jean Longoria Mark Scott City Staff David Garcia, City Manager George K. Noe, Deputy City Manager Armando Chapa, City Attomey Jimmy R. Bray, City Attomey Jay Reining, Attomey III Rodolfo G. Tamez, Presiding Judge Don Alex, Municipal Court Judge Deeanne Svoboda-Galvan, Municipal Court Judge Ms. Barbara R. Sudhoff, Director of Municipal Court D'Arwyn Daniels, Chief Prosecutor Rene Mendiola, Assistant Director of Municipal Court Cleo Rodriguez, Dept. Data Center Manager DISCUSSION REVENUE STATUS REPORT: Ms. Sudhoff referred to the following reports that were provided to those present 1) Total Number of Citations Received by Fiscal Year; 2) FY 99-00 Original and Revised Estimates vs Actuals; 3) 3-Year Revenue Comparison and 4) Reductions of Total Fines FY 99-00 that shows the breakdown of how fines have been reduced or suspended. The Total Number of Citations Received by Fiscal Year Report has a direct impact on the Court's operations and revenue. The citation count shows that it has been fairly stable. Of the citations that the Court received, there is a percentage (1% - 2%) that are "decline to prosecute." Those are citations that are received by the Court, but the Court cannot proceed to take action because of an error or omission. The citations are presented to the Prosecutors' Office. They review the citations and make a decision as to whether the citations will be filed. Approximately four (4) years ago, independent auditors reviewed the Court and made a recommendation that the Court have accountability for all citations. Through the computer system, the Court has the ability to track citations issued and filed; those that are declined; and those that are voided or are wamings. Ms. Sudhoff stated that the Court provides statistics of citations that are issued to various divisions within the Police Department. The Court has the capability of informing P. D. which officers are writing citations. Mr. Kinnison asked why the citation count went down (from the time Henry Garrett was Chief of Police to now). Staff responded that police officers are also issuing truancy citations to juveniles who are out of school. The problem is that the prosecutors do not have evidence (attendance records) in order to support it. Therefore, the police officers write the tickets but the Court does not accept them. The law provides that the juvenile has to have a certain number of absences within a certain period of time, so if the prosecutors are not provided this information, then the Court does not have a case. When the attendance officer files a complaint with the Court, they provide the information (attendance record) the Court needs. In some cases, when a truant is picked up, he or she is taken over to the Juvenile Assessment Center. Ms. Sudhoff explained that the Court is working with the Juvenile Assessment Center to connect the Court's records to them. Judge Tamez stated that when the officer writes a citation, he is on school grounds and catches the defendant skipping class. Ms. Sudhoff stated that the Court prepared the original estimate for the Budget Department. Based on operations, the Court revised the revenue estimate to $2.9 million. The good news is that the Court believes that it will achieve that revised estimate this year. Mr. Garcia stated that the City had a general freeze on all positions and they could assess exactly how the reduction 23 Minutes - Municipal Court Committee June 8, 2000 Page 2 in force would affect the City so they could place as many people as possible in the vacant positions. Once the Budget is in shape, the City will know what the personnel and revenues will be and then release the frozen positions. Mr. Nee stated that the City is in the process now of matching up potential RIF individuals with the vacant positions. Within the next few days, the Court will know if there is any impact on vacant positions at Municipal Court or other departments. Then the Court will be in a position to release key vacant pos~ions. Mr. Garcia stated that this is being done in advance of the final decision of the Council because staff is not sure what the final personnel count will be when the Council takes action. Mr. Noe stated that the Court went through the RIF process and had a dialogue between the Budget, his staff and Ms. Sudhoff to make sure that the City would not jeopardize the $3.5M in revenue that was projected. She said the Court is having to look at releasing positions so that the revenue can be generated. Ms. Sudhoff discussed the Reduction of Total Fines: 1) Community Service is an option that is provided by law for those individuals who do not have the ability to pay. The Court has a contract with the Volunteer Center of the Coastal Bend. Judge Galvan stated that this is an option for defendants who cannot pay and provide proof of indigence. By law, the Court cannot incarcerate an indigent person nor can the Court require a juvenile to pay. Mr. Longoria suggested that the Court treat everyone equally regarding indigence. 2) Prosecutor Recommend-Judge Approved: this includes when an officer does not appear for a scheduled trial hearing. Judge Galvan stated that there are many times when the Judge calls the docket and many officers do not appear; therefore, the Prosecutor must recommend a dismissal because the case cannot go to trial without the officer because the State has no witness. Judge Tamez stated that there are cases where officers know when they will be on vacation, training, etc., they will notify the Court and the prosecutor will request a reset of the case and the judges grant them. The officers are scheduled to appear in Court during their working shift to avoid overtime costs. 3) Dismissed Plea Bargain-Judge Approved: this is the plea bargain between the defense attomey and the prosecutor. 4)prosecutor Reduced Fine- Judge Approved and 5) Judge Reduced Fine. Ms. Sudhoff stated that some actions the Court can take to improve its revenue are: 1) adhere to Standard Policies & Procedures. This is an ongoing process. It takes all three (3) departments (Administration, Judicial and Prosecution) to create these policies & procedures; 2) request and require cash and surety bonds; 3) forfeiture of bonds; 4) address oldest case first because that is how the State wants the cases resolved; and 5) refine intake processing with the Marshals. Within the next month, the bondsmen will receive a notice that if they do not produce a defendant, they will lose their surety bond. This has never happened in 20 years. Judge Tamez stated that if a bondsman has an outstanding bond posted that he has not taken care of, the Court can take it out of his C.D. or his portion to sell the property and get it out of his property, or if he has a surety (insurance company), the Court can ask them for the money. Otherwise, they can lose their license. Judge Tamez stated that this will also include an attorney who acts as a surety. CITY MARSHALS DIVISION: Ms. Sudhoff stated that another impact on the Court's revenue has been the delay in implementing the Marshals Division. The Division was to be implemented on January 1, 2000. It was partially implemented May 1, 2000. The delay was due to a variety of factors: 1) hiring protocol; 2) low salaries (in comparison with other cities); 3) lack of qualified applicants and 4) frozen positions. The Court wanted the most qualified applicants. The Court currently has four (4) City Marshals on staff and a private contractor for Court security. The revenue for May was a 23% increase ($265,000 pure revenue). Ms. Sudhoff stated that there were over 142 warrants resolved. A report is included in the binders which explains how these warrants were resolved. Twelve percent (12%) were granted a continuance and no cash or P. R. bond was posted. Judge Tamez stated that the Court did not have a P. R. bond set in the system and now it does. These are the people who make their phone calls to raise the money to post their bond. If they are unable to raise money, the Marshal directs them to fill out the N. C. form and the Judge determines if they are indigent. If they are indigent, the Judge has to reduce the bond or put a P. R. bond. Judge Tamez stated that the first 17 days of May helped the Court to figure out the necessary procedures. The defendant cannot be incarcerated because that would be a violation of their constitutional rights and the City would be facing a lawsuit. Ms. Sudhoff stated that a defendant 24 - Minutes - Municipal Court Committee June 8, 2000 Page 3 does not pay the full amount of the surety bond. They usually pay 10% for the bondsman. Ms. Sudhoff stated that the average processing time that the Marshal spends with the defendant is approximately 30 minutes. The exception is when a defendant claims he is indigent, at that point they see the Judge. Mr. Colmenero asked Mr. Bray if it was legal for the City to include a defendant's fine to a utility bill. Mr. Bray said it was not legal. Ms. Sudhoff stated that one of the things the Court wanted to do was to establish a coupon book for payment plans. The City Marshals Division currently has four (4) full time positions: one (1) City Marshal; two (2) Deputy City Marshals and one (1) Trainee. The increased revenue has been a result of three (3) people and for this month, one of those three people was on two (2) weeks of National Guard duty. The 23% increase in revenue was based on two (2) people going out and serving warrants. The Court currently has the private security contract for courtroom security and for the next fiscal year the Court hopes to add two (2) Deputy City Marshals. Mrs. Longoria asked Ms. Sudhoff how much improvement the Court has seen in Code Enforcement. Ms. Sudhoff stated that at the time the Court implemented the Marshals, the Court also implemented the Code Enforcement docket (Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday at 10:30 a.m.). If the defendant does not appear for docket, the Court has the ability to issue a bench warrant. Some of the 142 are related to Code Enforcement. Mr. Longoria stated that a lot of work has gone into this Court and the Court should be very proud. He said he thinks the Court has done a great job. (Meeting Adjoumed) 25 2 a.

N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant Clearwell No. 1 Pipe Relocation (Project No. 8354) PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: 1. Julv 20. 1999 - Approval of the FY 1999 - 2000 Capital Operating Budget (Ordinance No. 023702). 2. March 7. 2000 - Motion authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to execute an engineering contract in the amount of $780,565 with BHP Engineering for the O. N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant Chemical Storage and Feed System Addition and Upgrade. $36,918 of fee relates to this project and is funded by Water Operating Fund (FY 1999 - 2000). BACKGROUND INFORMATION: An inspection of Clearwell No.1 revealed that the roof leaks, allowing rainwater to enter the reservoir, and resulting in the need for repeated maintenance. However, before re-roofing can occur, existing equipment on the roof must be removed and relocated. Additionally, the Texas Natural Resource and Conservation Commission (TNRCC) requires the roof be constructed with a quarter-inch (1/4") rise in lieu of a staged roof. The proposed work has been approved by the TNRCC. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project consists of removing existing piping from the roof of Clearwell No.1, installing new piping with a new support system adjacent to the Clearwell and relocating equipment from the Clearwell roof, in accordance with the plans, specifications, and contract documents. BID INFORMATION: The project consists of a lump sum base bid. The City received proposals from three (3) bidders on June 14, 2000. The bids range from $96,500 to $113,060. The company of H & S Constructors is from Corpus Christi, Texas. They are currently working on the Chlorine Evaporator Discharge Improvements project at the O. N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant and it is progressing satisfactorily. Furthermore, H & S Constructors has successfully completed other projects for the City. The City's consultant, BHP Engineering, and City staff recommend that H & S Constructors be awarded the construction contract in the amount of $96,500. CONTRACT TERMS: The contract specifies that the project will be completed in 120 calendar days, with completion anticipated by the end of November 2000.

Julv 20. 1999 - Approval of the FY 1999 - 2000 Capital Operating Budget (Ordinance No. 023702). PRIOR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION: 1. October 20. 1999 - Agreement for Engineering Consultant Services with Smith, Russo, Mercer Consulting Engineers for a fee not to exceed $14,950 for design services. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Choke Canyon Dam is located on Highway 72, just outside of Three Rivers, Texas. The Choke Canyon Dam is operated by the City of Corpus Christi's Water Department. In 1982, a twenty (20) metric ton capacity gantry crane was fumished as part of the dam's original construction. Day-to-day operations require the gantry crane to be available at all times for moving and replacing steel stoplogs at the level-control spillway, and to pull and replace motors at the spillway. The existing paint on the gantry crane is the original lead-based system utilized for corrosion protection. The gantry crane was installed eighteen years ago. Over the years significant rust has developed through deterioration of the gantry crane's control cab sheathing, as well as the accumulation of vagrant rust and paint oxidation on the legs, ladder, and braces of the gantry crane. The proposed contract has been developed with complete input from the United States Bureau of Reclamation. Special pollution liability coverage is required by the contract for the removal, treatment, and encapsulation of the lead-based paint. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project consists of steel repairs, surface preparations, blast media disposal and painting of a twenty (20) metric ton gantry crane in accordance with the plans, specifications and contract documents. Removal of lead-based paint will comply with air, water and solid waste pollution prevention concepts. This includes an air-tight canopy, waste containment, lead neutralization, environmental testing, licensed transportation, and the ultimate disposal of the blast waste.

Stevens Water Treatment Plant Chemical Storage and Feed System Addition and Upgrade Part 1 (Project No. 8269) PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: 1. July 20. 1999 - Approval of the FY 1999 - 2000 Capital Outlay Budget (Ordinance No. 023702). 2. March 7. 2000 - Motion authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to execute an engineering contract in the amount of $780,565 with BHP Engineering for the O. N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant Chemical Storage and Feed System Addition and Upgrade, of which $230,726 will be financed from the Water Operating Budget and $549,839 will be financed from the Capital Improvements Fund. (Motion No. M2000-068). BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The water treatment process requires application of various disinfectant chemicals. In October 1995, the Council approved the annual Capital Budget initiating a multi-year program of improvements to O. N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant. The program was designed to enhance safety in chemical usage and monitoring. The program was also designed to ensure compliance with water quality regulations imposed by the Safe Drinking Water Act. The first of these projects, the ammonia gas measurement building was completed in June 1996. Subsequently, the intake of Lake Texana water has imposed additional requirements for upgrading the Stevens Plant chemical feed systems. The engineering contract executed on March 7, 2000 with BHP Engineering provided for the combination of three major Capital Improvement Projects, and four Capital Outlay projects that had been reduced to two capital construction projects. During the review of the projects it was determined the inter-related nature of the various projects required project coordination that could be best achieved by a single design contract. The contract has resulted in development of plans and specifications for two construction contracts with estimated values of $800,000 and $3.05 million. The major components of the consolidated project include: . replacement of the anhydrous ammonia storage and feed system; . replacement of the existing liquid aluminum sulfate (LAS) storage and feed system; . other feed control systems needed to meet treatment standards; . inspection, operations training, re-engineering and development of Local Area Network (LAN) architecture; II EXHIBIT "AU II Page 1 of3 52 ~ evaluation of various operational enhancements; ~ development of a Facility Optimization Plan for the west end of the O. N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant; ~ upgrade of System CQntrol and Data Acquisition (SCADA) architecture; and ~ evaluation of phosphate use. NUECES COUNTY WATER CONTROL AND IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT NO.3: The City's consultant, BHP Engineering, has designed a Monitoring Station for monitoring pH and turbidity of the Nueces River, upstream of the O. N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant Raw Water Pump Station. The proposed site for the Monitoring Station is located at the Nueces County Water Control and Improvement District No.3 Pump Station, which is adjacent to Hazel Bazemore Park. This site will allow the Monitoring Station to provide the O. N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant with a two to three hour lead time for responding to pH and turbidity changes in the Nueces River. Early monitoring of raw water quality will improve the treatment process; and better water quality treatment will benefit all of the City's customers. The new equipment to be installed includes the following: ~ River Sample Pump; ~ Turbidity Analyzer; ~ pH Analyzer; and ~ Moscad PLC (Programmable Logic Circuit) Radio System. The proposed site for the Monitoring Station is owned and operated by the Nueces County Water Control and Improvement District No.3. Thus, the following issues require Agreement upon the City of Corpus Christi and the Nueces County Water Control and Improvement District No.3 before the construction phase begins: ~ Electrical Power - Use of electrical power for the new equipment; ~ Location of Eauioment - Site location for the installation of the new equipment; and ~ Access to the Prooerty - Accessibility to the site is required by the City's Water Department Staff for maintenance and to take readings from the new equipment. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project consists of constructing a new facility for storing and using chlorine in ton cylinders; installing two new chlorine dioxide generators in a new pre-fabricated building; installing two injection vaults for connecting chlorine and liquid II EXHIBIT "An II Page 2 of3 53 ammonium sulfate lines to existing underground water lines; installing instrumentation for monitoring the quality of the Nueces River water at a site adjacent to Hazel Bazemore Park; SCADA documentation for the previous items; in accordance with the plans, specifications and contract documents.

Cisneros, Director Park and Recreation Department ADDITIONAL SUPPORT MATERIAL Background Information III 79 AGENDA MEMORANDUM ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION BACKGROUND: The City of Corpus Christi, Park and Recreation Department, Senior Community Services, Elderly Nutrition Program provides services to senior citizens in the City. These services include home delivered meals, congregate meals at eight senior centers, and benefits counseling. In FY 98-99 we provided 237,578 meals to 2,589 people. These services allow us to keep seniors in their home longer, and prevent unnecessary institutionalization. We are currently in the process of planning and designing a new central kitchen facility to replace the existing one. The new facility will provide for up to 1400 meals per day, as compared to 1000 per day we are currently producing. The new facility will also allow us to provide meals for the new South east senior center, currently under construction, and to expand the home delivered meal program. The Texas Department of Human Services (TDHS) has requested that we contract to serve up to 100 more clients per day, which we have not been able to do due to our production limitations. Items A and B: There are plans for the construction of a new central kitchen facility commencing in fall 2000 to serve the seniors in the City. CDBG funds only cover the cost of built in equipment, and we will need cooking equipment that does not meet this criteria. Therefore, the $4,900.00 grant from Coastal Bend Health Facilities Development Corporation will be used to purchase a convection steamer, Groen model HY-6G. This steamer will allow us to speed up the cooking process of fresh and frozen vegetables, and retain the nutrient value of these products that is not possible with stove top preparation. 80 - Coastal Bend Health Facilities Development Corporation P.

FIRST READING: May 30, 2000 Passed: 9-0 FINAL READING: June 27,2000 COMMENTS: 103 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMORANDUM May 25, 2000 AGENDA ITEM: 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) to be used for operations of the Veterans Band of Corpus Christi, Texas in consideration of One Hundred and Fifty Dollars ($150) monthly and interior maintenance of the facility; and providing for publication. ISSUE: The Hispanic Chamber of Corpus Christi was granted a lease for the Buddy Lawrence House by Council action in June 1998. The Veterans Band of Corpus Christi, Texas (Veterans Band) was made a part of that lease as a tenant in the House. Recently, the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce has found other accommodations. The Veterans Band has requested that they now be the principal lessee and as such, staff is bringing forth a lease with the Veterans Band. Any lease of City property must be approved by the City Council. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: Since the Veterans Band was part of the original lease of the Buddy Lawrence House through the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and now that the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce has found other accommodations, we are recommending that a new lease agreement be executed solely with the Veterans Band. 2J. ClLtf- W. Thomas Utter Assistant City Manager 104 - BACKGROUND INFORMATION The Buddy Lawrence House is a historic structure that was donated to the City of Corpus Christi by the Javelina Company for relocation to the Heritage park area. Funds for the move and the rehabilitation of the structure came from the CDBG Program under Historic Preservation. The house has been moved to Heritage Park and the plans and specifications have been completed. The Hispanic Chamber of Commerce has found other accommodations in the Wells Fargo building on the Bluff. Since the original lease of the structure in June 1998 was to the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce with the Veterans Band as an additional tenant, the Veterans Band has now requested that they be placed as the principal lessee. We have prepared a new lease agreement with the Veterans Band, a copy of which is attached. The Veterans Band provides music and concerts for a great many City activities plus it carries the Corpus Christi name to many other cities as they march in various parades. A number of years ago, the City Council directed staff to look for opportunities to provide a location for the Veterans Band in the Heritage Park area. The Buddy Lawrence House is the fulfillment of that early commitment. We are recommending a lease with the Veterans Band similar in nature to the leases on the other historic homes within Heritage Park. A rendering of the house as it will be restored is attached as Exhibit 2. 105 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 LOCA TED AT HERITAGE PARK (LOTS 4, 5, AND 6, BLOCK 60, BEACH PORTION OF THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS) TO BE USED FOR OPERATIONS OF THE VETERANS BAND OF CORPUS CHRISTI TEXAS IN CONSIDERATION OF ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS ($150) MONTHLY AND INTERIOR MAINTENANCE OF THE FACILITY; AND PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION.

ISSUE: Authorization of leases by the City of Corpus Christi must be done by City Council action. The parking lease and the lease for operation of the Aquarium both fall under Council approval authority. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: The Texas State Aquarium is one of the largest single tourist draws to the City of Corpus Christi and plays a large role in the quality of life in the area. The TSAA has done an exemplary job of operating the Aquarium and since 1993 all of the parking and associated landscaping maintenance within the immediate area at no cost to the City. Staff is recommending approval. 7JC. W. Thomas Utter Assistant City Manager 110 BACKGROUND INFORMATION The two agreements contained under this agenda item are the Aquarium operating lease which is the basic agreement under which the City and the Texas State Aquarium (TSA) have set up the operation of the Aquarium. The TSA is responsible for operating the Aquarium and all of the expenses of that operation including debt service on $4.4 million of CO's that were used for additional Aquarium projects and refinancing an Aquarium loan. The TSA has done an exemplary job of operating the Aquarium and has raised significant dollars for additional expansions. The second agreement is a parking facility agreement which was entered into in 1993, and it is now up for renewal. Under that agreement, the parking maintenance on a portion of Corpus Christi Beach and the parking lot under the bridge is specifically operated by the TSA which receives the revenues. The TSA makes all of the debt service payments on all of those improvements and also performs all of the landscape maintenance at no expense to the City. In addition, under this new proposed agreement, the Aquarium pays for 100% of the parking meter maintenance. Parkina Facilitv Aareement: In 1989 the City issued $1.5 million of Certificates of Obligation to construct a large on- grade parking facility under the Harbor Bridge for non-exclusive parking for the Texas State Aquarium and other activities on the south end of Corpus Christi Beach. Under an agreement with the TSA, the City and TSA jointly amortized the Certificates of Obligation at the rate of $75,000 annually, with the City further being responsible for maintaining the parking lot and associated landscaping. In 1993 the Council approved a new 5-year management agreement with TSA. The major elements of that agreement are as follows: (1) TSA will install a ticketing system, charge $2 per space per day, and operate the existing parking facility under Harbor Bridge (Parking Facility). (2) City will install parking meters along various streets near the Aquarium, TSA will service the meters and issue citations for parking violations. (3) All Parking Facility revenue, up to $400,000 annually, will remain with TSA; any amounts in excess of $400,000 will be split 50/50 between City and TSA. TSA will build a capital improvement replacement fund with all its funds in excess of $350,000 annually. (4) TSA will construct additional parking in the Parking Facility when it is needed. (5) TSA will maintain landscaping along east Surfside Blvd and Pearl Street adjacent to the Aquarium and Parking Facility, and maintain the park facility at the south end of Corpus Christi Beach. (6) TSA will make both its $75,000 and City's $75,000 annual payments on the Certificates of Obligation. (7) City will install signage and No Parking Zones to assist traffic movement in the area. 111 The City's $75,000 annual payment obligation and approximately $50,000 annually in cost avoidance realized by TSA taking on maintenance of the Parking Facility and associated landscaping maintenance and park maintenance was used to partially fund the replacement of the Lawrence Street T-Head piers. The only difference in this agreement and the original agreement is that the TSA now will pay 100% of the annual parking meter maintenance which runs from $2,000 to $5,000 annually. Aauarium ODeratina Lease: TSA asked the City to issue $4.4 million of combination tax and revenue Certificates of Obligation to perform capital improvement projects at the Aquarium and refinance a high interest loan carried by a local bank. The City Council approved that request and subsequently issued the Certificates of obligation. This required the City to purchase additional land and other assets of TSA In order to include the newly acquired land and other assets in the Lease, the Lease needed to be amended. Since the original lease was adopted prior to construction of the Aquarium facility, certain of the terms needed to be revised. A summary of the Lease is attached. TSA has been fully amortizing the debt without the need for tax revenue contribution by the City. 112 One-Year Parking Lease Summary 1. Term. 1 year. 2. Consideration.

Planninl!: Commission and Staff's Recommendation (05/24/00): Denied the "A-I" District, and in lieu thereof, approved a Special Permit for ISO units subject to a site plan and four (4) conditions. Reauested Council Action: Denial of the "A-I" District, and in lieu thereof, approved a Special Permit for 150 units subject to a site plan and four (4) conditions and adoption of the attached ordinance. Purnose of Reauest: To develop luxury apartments. Summary: The applicant has requested a change of zoning from a "R-lB" One-family Dwelling District to an "A-I" Apartment House District in orderto develop the subject property (11.70 acres) and the adjacent 8.1 acres to the south with luxury townhomes. The subject property is located along the west side of a collector, Norchester Drive, which is planned to be extended to Saratoga Boulevard. The applicant proposes to construct a separate 60- foot wide street to connect the subject property to Saratoga Boulevard, an arterial. The ouly access to Norchester Drive will be an emergency access. The subject property, if rezoned, would act as a buffer between the single- family zoned area to the north and the general commercial area to the south. The proposed units are planned to be luxury units (average 1,452 square feet) with attached garages. The townhome complex is proposed to contain 32 buildings with six (6) units each for a total of 192 units. With 192 units on 19.8 acres, the density will be 9.70 dwelling units per acre, equivalent to the "R-I C" One-family Dwelling District although the development is a multiple-family. The requested "A-I" District permits a density of 21. 78 dwelling units per acre. Residents from the adjacent neighborhood submitted a petition in opposition to the rezoning due to their concerns with increased traffic on Norchester Drive. The applicant met with residents and agreed to eliminate any driveways on Norchester Drive. The recommended Special Permit prohibits vehicular access to Norchester Drive and limits the total number of dwelling units. The neighborhood was supportive of the recommended Special Permit. The subject property is located within the Southside Area Development Plan that recommends the area to develop with low-density residential. The Planning Commission denied the "A-I" District, and in lieu thereof, approved a Special Permit for 150 units subjecr to a site plan and the following four (4) conditions: I) USES: The only use permitted by this Special Permit other than those uses permitted by right in the "R-IB" One-family Dwelling District is a multiple-farnily6 development. 2) DWELLING UNITS: The maximum number of dwelling units permitted on the subject property is ISO units. 3) ACCESS: Direct vehicular access to Norchester Drive is prohibited. An emergency-only entrance on Norchester Drive is permitted. A secondary vehicular access shall be provided at the northwest comer of the subject property. 4) TIME LIMIT: Such Special Permit shall be deemed to have expired within one (I) year of the date of this ordinance unless the property is being used as outlined in Condition #1 and in compliance with all other conditions. 119 Scheduling Memo June 27, 2000 Case No. 0500-04 (Puentes Family Limited, Partner) Page 2 ADDlicant's Position: The applicant concurs with Planning Commission and Staff's recommendation. Notification: Prior to the date of this memorandum, twenty-one (2 I) notices were mailed to the property owners within a 200-foot radius, of which none were returned in favor and nine (9) were returned in opposition. One (I) letter in opposition was submitted from outside the notification area. A petition in opposition was also submitted with 77 signatures. The 20% rule is not in effect. ~ _ Ud~ AI. Michael N.

Further south from the subject property, there are 12.88 acres ofland zoned a "R-lB" District that contain a church and parochial school. Plannine: Staff Analvsis: . General Characteristics and Backlrround: The applicant has requested a change of zoning frorn a "R-IB" One-family Dwelling District to an "A-I" Apartment House District in order to develop the subject property and the adjacent 8.1 acres to the south, with an apartment complex. The subject property is located along the west side of a collector, Norchester Drive, which is planned to be extended to Saratoga Boulevard. The applicant proposes to develop a 60-foot wide road that will connect the subject property to Saratoga Boulevard, an arterial. The applicant does not intend to provide access toNorchester Drive, except as an emergency access. Staff will review the access issues during the plat process. The subject property would act as a buffer between the single-family residence to the south and the general commercial area to the south. The proposed units are planned to be luxury units (average 1,452 square feet) with attached garages. The apartment complex is proposed to contain 32 buildings with six (6) units each for a total of 192 units. With 192 units on 19.8 acres, the density will be 9.70 dwelling units per acre. This density is equal to the "R-lC" One-family Dwelling District, but the development is a multiple-family development. The requested "A-I" District permits a density of 21.78 dwelling units per acre. This density would permit the proposed density of the planned apartment complex. . Conformity to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Compatibility: Overall, the Comprehensive Plan Elements cannot be supportive of the requested "A-I" District. The Southside Area Development Plan's adopted future land use map recommends the area to develop with low density single-family residential. The requested "A-I" District is not consistent with the Plan's recommended land use. However, the proposed development is consistent with the Plan's overall objectives of providing a transition from high intensity uses to low density uses. . Potential Housing Densitv: A "R-lB" District permits a density of7.26 dwelling units per acre or 84 units on the subject property. The requested "A-I" District permits a density of 21.58 dwelling units per acre or 254 units on the subject property. This increase in density with direct access to a collector street would not adversely impact the area. . Height/Bulk/Setbacks/Etc.: A "R-lB" District requires a front yard setback of25 feet with a side and rear yard setback of five (5) feet each. The "A-I" District requires a front yard setback of twenty (20) feet with a side and rear yard setback of ten (10) feet each for the first story plus five (5) feet for each additional story. Both the "R-lB" and "A-I" Districts permit a building height of three (3) stories with the "R-IB" District limiting the height to 35 feet and 45 feet in the "A-I" District. 123 oS" Zoning Report Case No. 0500-04 (Puentes Family Ltd., Partner) Page 4 . Signage: The "R-lB" District permits one wall sign not to exceed one square foot. For properties with more than I 00 feet of street frontage, the "A-I" District permits wall sign or freestanding sign with an area of forty (40) square feet. The freestanding sign must be set back at least ten (10) feet and not exceed a height often (10) feet. . Traffic: The proposed development is estimated to generate approximately 1,242 daily trip ends of which 776 daily trip ends may be attributed to the subject property. If the subject property were developed with 84 single-family residences, they would generate approximately 840 daily trip ends and have direct access to the street system on the east. The proposed development does not propose to have direct access to the residential area to the east, but have its access out to Saratoga Boulevard. Therefore, the potential traffic will have minimal impact on the adjoining street system. . Parking/Screening: Residential development is required to provide 1.5 off-street parking spaces for each one-bedroom unit or two (2) off-street parking spaces for each unit containing two (2) bedrooms or more. Cornpliance with the off-street parking regulations will be required during the permitting phase. A standard screening fence is not required for residential development. . Costs to City: Development of the apartment complex will require the applicant to extend the infrastructure necessary to serve the proposed development. There are no costs to the City anticipated. . Platting: The applicant proposes to plat the subject property with the adjacent 8.1 acres to the south. Pros: (Ideas in support of the request.) a) The proposed development would provide a transitional area between the single-family residential area on the north and the general commercial area on the south. b) The proposed development's density is equivalent to the density permitted in the "R-lC" District. Cons: (Ideas in support of maintaining the current zoning.) a) The existing "R-lB" District is more consistent with the Southside Area Development Plan's adopted future land use map. 124 ~ ;--- Zoning Report Case No. 0500-04 (puentes Family Ltd., Partner) Page 5 Staff's Recommendation: Denial of the "A-I" Aparttnent House District, and in lieu thereof, approval of a Special Permit for 150 units subject to a site plan and the following four (4) conditions: I) USES: The only use permitted by this Special Permit other than those uses permitted by right in the "R-IB" One-family Dwelling District is a multiple-family development. 2) DWELLING UNITS: The maximum number of dwelling units permitted on the subject property is 150 units. 3) ACCESS: Direct vehicular access to Norchester Drive is prohibited.

The subject property is part of a larger area zoned "R-IB" District and predominantly developed with single-family residences. This "R-IB" District extends north, east and west. Adjacent to the south is a 3.17-acre tract of farmland zoned an "AB" District. Also to the south, there is a 23.60-acre tract of land zoned a "B-4" District that partially developed with a medical office. Southwest of the subject property, there are 40.09 acre of fann1and zoned an "1-2" District. Further south from the subject property, there are 12.88 acres ofland zoned a "R-IB" District that contain a church and parochial school. Mr. Saldaiia stated that the applicant requested a change of zoning from a "R-IB" One-family Dwelling District to an "A-I" Aparnnent House District in order to develop the subject property and the adjacent 8.1 acres to the south, with an aparnnent complex. The subject property is located along the west side of a collector, Norchester Drive, which is planned to be extended to Saratoga Boulevard. The applicant proposes to develop a 60-foot wide road that will connect the subject property to Saratoga Boulevard, an arterial. The applicant does not intend to provide access to Norchester Drive, except as an emergency access. Staff will review the access issues during the plat process. The subject property would act as a buffer between the single-family residence to the south and the general commercial area to the south. The proposed units are planned to be luxury units (average 1,452 square feet) with attached garages. The aparttnent complex is proposed to contain 32 bnilding with six (6) units each for a total of 192 units. With 192 units on 19.8 acres, the density will be 9.70 dwelling units per acre. This density is equal to the "R-I C" One-family Dwelling District, but the development is a multiple-family development. The requested "A-I" District permits a density of 21.78 dwelling units per acre. This density would permit the proposed density of the planned apartment complex. The subject property is within the Southside Area Development Plan which recommends the area to develop with low density single-family residential. The requested "A-I" is not consistent with the Plan's recommended land use. However, the proposed development is consistent with the Plan's overall objectives of providing a transition from high intensity uses to low density uses. Therefore, Staff recommends approval of the zoning request. There were 21 notices mailed to property owners within a 200-foot radius of which 4 were returned in favor; three were returned in opposition, and Staff received two (2) petitions containing 66 signatures in opposition. Chairman Noyola opened the public hearing. Roy Del Bosque, 6233 Norchester, stated that his property abuts the subject property. Mr. Del Bosque stated that he believed that due to the fact that there was property zoned "A-I" District across Saratoga where the applicant could develop apartments. He continued that he and his neighbors were concerned with crime and traffic that would be generated by the apartment complex. Alvin L. Crossno, 3644 Glenway, stated that he was opposed to the development due to the fact of lack of knowledge of the height of the buildings. Mr. Crossno expressed concern regarding traffic issues. He stated that traffic would increase in the area due to the proposed development. Mr. Crossno collected 66 signatures of homeowners who are opposed to the development. Roman Almaguer. 360 I Glenway, stated that he believes it would not be in the best interest of the neighborhood to develop an apartment complex. Mr. Almaguer stated that the residents were concerned with traffic issues and crime rate increasing. 132 I~ - Planning Commission Minutes May 10, 2000 Case No. 0500-04 (Puentes Family Ltd. Partner) Page 2 Chuck Urban, 2725 Swantner, engineer representing the applicant, stated that he met with Staff to create a street pattem. The proposed development will not be an aparttnent complex. It will be a gated townhome conununity which is low-density. Mr. Urban presented preliminary plans and drawings of the proposed development. He addressed resident concerns regarding traffic issues by stating that access to Norchester would be prohibited. There would be a crash gate for emergency vehicles to enter the property via Norchester Drive. Access to the property would be via Saratoga Boulevard onto a proposed street. The street pattern layout displays the proposed street between Dr. Puentes' medical center and the Most Precious Blood Catholic Church. The entry will be a 60-foot street to the clubhouse. Mr. Urban stated that the Metropolitan Transportation Plan illustrates Wickersham Drive looping across the ditch to Carroll Lane north of the subject property. Carroll Lane would tie into Masterson Drive which will tie the subdivision into Galvan Elementary School. Mr. Urban stated that the development has been designed to tie into future master plan collector streets and the Transportation Plan. Mr. Urban stated that the townhomes would not be rentals. Each townhome would have an individual owner. The proposed development will be an upscale development. There will be guard gate entry. In response to Mr. Gunning's question regarding a "R-2" District density, Mr. Urban stated that with regard to density, a "R-2" District would suffice. In response to Commissioner Mims' question regarding access for vehicles during the construction phase not traversing through the neighborhood, Mr. Urban stated that he would need to restrict access for construction to Saratoga Boulevard. Public hearing was closed. In response to Commissioner Underbrink's question regarding the street layout provided by Urban Engineering and the City's responsibility for developing future streets, Mr. Gunning stated that the collector streets are the responsibility of the developers. Mr. Urban stated that the City should participate in the construction of the bridge construction. Mr. Gunning stated that the "R-2" District would better suit the development due to density. If there is an occurrence in which the development ceases, the "R-2" District would be in place and would be a better situation for the neighboting residences. The "R-2" District would also create a transitional buffer to be used between the "B-4" District along Saratoga Boulevard, the church, and the single-family residences on the north. Mr. Gunning continued that Staff would reconunend a "R-2" District. In response to Commissioner Sween-McGloin's question regarding platting, Mr. Gunning stated that the Commission would review the plat after the zoning process. Motion by Sween-McGloin, seconded by Mims, to deny the "A-I" District and approve a "R-2" District. Commissioner Sween-McGloin made a reconunendation that when the plat is presented that there be a second access point towards the northwest comer of the property which would be built in the future. She continued that there would be the inclusion of a crash gate at the intersection of Norchester Drive for emergency pwposes. Mr. Saldana explained that the driveway shown on the site plan are private driveways or access points and not pnvate roads that will be shown on a plat. The plat will show the exterior boundary of the property and not the internal circulation of the development. Mr. Saldaiia responded to Commissioners' concerns regarding secondary access for the development that if an "R-2" District is approved, the applicant could provide access via to Norchester Drive. Commissioner Sween-McGloin rescinded her motion. Mr. Urban stated that the plat will be presented soon. The plat will show the road from Saratoga Boulevard into the development and wrapping around the development to the west. The plat will also show a half dedication for Norchester Drive. Mr. Urban continued that a note could be placed on a plat restricting access to Norchester Drive from the development. 133 /r Planning Commission Minutes May 10,2000 Case No. 0500-04 (Puentes Family Ltd. Partner) Page 3 Commissioner Mirns clarified that if a developer wanted to develop a subdivision on the subject property as a "R-IB" District development, a road from Saratoga Boulevard to the development could not be required. Mr. Gunning answered in the affrrrnative. Commissioner Underbrink suggested tabling the case for two weeks to allow Staff and the applicant an oppornmity to meet and discuss conditions for a Special Permit that would accommodate the proposed development. The discussions could include access points and street layouts that would agree with the layout presented to the Commission. Mr. Saldaiia stated that the southern portion of the development is not within the area to be rezoned. There could not be a condition established for an off-site entry. Mr. Saldaiia suggested conditions restricting access to Norchester Drive, a certain number of units on the "R-lB" District property and access to the south. Motion by Sween-McGloin, seconded by Mims, to reopen the public hearing. Motion passed unanimously with Cheek abstaining. Dr. Puentes, applicant, 6230 Denain, stated that he developed a medical center in the area on property that was formerly fann1and. Dr. Puentes continued that he purchased the subject property to protect the neighborhood. There were plans to develop public housing units, and Dr. Puentes stated that he believed that developing public housing in the neighborhood would depreciate the value of the surrounding property. He purchased the property to develop up-scale housing. Dr. Puentes addressed the residents concerns regarding crime increasing in the neighborhood by stating that he would not develop a complex that would affect his medical plaza negatively. He clarified that the complex would not be apartments, but would be townhomes that would be individually owned and not rented. Each townhome will cost between $120,000 to $150,000. Dr. Puentes asked the Commission to approve his rezoning request. Roy Del Bosque, 6233 Norchester, stated that after recelvmg information regarding the proposed development, he and his neighbors would be supportive of the development if the street layout was finalized. Commissioners Kelly and Underbrink stated that they were supportive of the proposed development but had concerns that needed to be addressed by Staff and asked if Dr. Puentes would object to continuing the zoning case for two weeks. Dr. Puentes stated that he had no objections. Public hearing was closed. Commissioner Mirns requested clarification regarding the reasoning for continuing the zoning case for two weeks and stated that she was concerned with after receiving information regarding emergency access, the applicant's zoning request would be a Special Permit with an extensive list of conditions. Commissioner Berlanga stated that he believed the proposed development is sufficient to protect the surrounding neighborhood. He continued that the residents are in agreement with the proposed development and did not want the case to be tabled which would result in additional costs to the applicant. Commissioner Underbrink stated that his concern was to have the street arrangement model the site plan and have access points at the northwest comer afthe subject property. He wanted assurances that there would not be access to Norchester Drive. Mr. Gunning defined the subject property, which did not include the southem portion of the property. He stated that he would be able to direct the access point to Norchester Drive and the northwest corner. Conumssioner Underbrink stated that Staff could request a site plan. Commissioner Sween-McGloin stated that she would prefer to have an emergency only access point to Norchester Drive with a crash gate. Motion by Underbrink, seconded by Kelly, to table the case for two weeks. Motion passed with Cheek, Kelly, Mims, Richter, Sween-McGloin, Underbrink, and Noyola voting "Aye" and Berlanga voting "Nay". 134 /~ Planning Commission Minutes May 24, 2000 - Puentes Family Ltd.

Commissioner Cheek stated that he needed to abstain from participation from the zoning case and left the room. Mr. Saldaila stated that the Planning Commission tabled the zoning case to allow Staff an opportunity to meeting with the applicant's representative and develop conditions for a possible Special Permit. After meeting with the applicant's representative, a site plan was submitted and conditions were drafted for a Special Permit. The applicant is agreeable to the conditions contained within the Special Permit, but prefers approval of the "R-2" District. 1. Uses. The only use permitted by this Special Permit other than those uses permitted by right in the "R-IB" One-family Dwelling District is a multiple-family development. 2. Dwellim! Districts. The maximum number of dwelling units permitted on the subject property is 150 units. 3. Access. Direct vehicular access to Norchester Drive is prohibited. An emergency-only entrance on Norchester Drive is permitted. A secondary vehicular access shall be provided at the northwest corner of the subject property. -- 4. Time Limit. Such Special Permit shall be deemed to have expired within one (1) year of the date of this ordinance unless the property is being used as outlined in Condition # I and in compliance with all other conditions. Mr. Saldana stated that Staff is of the opinion that denial of the "A-I" District, and in lieu thereof, approval of the "R-2" Multiple-family Dwelling District would be appropriate. The "R-2" District would allow the proposed development and protect the residential area. The applicant has agreed to place a note on the plat to prohibit access to Norchester Drive. Chairman Underbrink opened the public hearing. Chuck Urban, Urban Engineering representing the applicant, stated that the applicant was agreeable to the Special Permit however, preferred the "R-2" District zoning. Chairman Underbrink closed the public hearing. Motion by Berlanga, seconded by Sween-McGloin, to deny the "R-2" Multiple Dwelling District and approve a Special Permit with four (4) conditions subject to a site plan. Motion passed unanimously with Cheek abstaining and Mims being absent. 135 17 PLANNING COMMISSION AND STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE, UPON APPLICATION BY PUENTES FAMILY LTD.

TEXAS 78404 mail@urboneng.com Z/f 19 - CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMORANDUM June 23, 2000 AGENDA ITEM: Authorizing and directing the City Manager to schedule and conduct presentations and hearings pursuant to Texas Code Section 311.003(F) and (G) for the proposed creation or Reinvestment Zone Number Two, City of Corpus Christi, in the Packery Channel area of Padre Island; directing delivery of the preliminary Reinvestment Zone financing plan to other taxing units; directing delivery to taxing units of notice of intent to establish the Zone; and authorizing and directing the City Manager to take all actions necessary or convenient in furtherance of establishment of the Zone. ISSUE AND REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: In order to begin the formal process of establishing the Reinvestment Zone, the City Council must approve a preliminary financing plan and direct the notifcation of the other affected entities of our intention to create a Reinvestment Zone. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: At the Council meeting of March 21,2000, the City Council authorized the preparation of a preliminary financing plan for a Tax Increment Financing District on Padre Island and authorized the City Manager to declare the City's intent to proceed with the North Padre Island Storm Damage Reduction and Environmental Restoration Project. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council approve the preliminary financing plan and direct the City Manager, or his designee, to notify the other affected entities. BACKGROUND: The City engaged the services ot Economic Research Associates (ERA) to provide the City with estimates of tax increment funds generated by forecasted development in the proposed Tax Increment District. The proposed District contains 1941 .13 acres and is shown on the map on Exhibit 1. The area is principally undeveloped with development centering on hotel, motel, condominium and business uses. The preliminary project costs are based on the original Naismith/Shiner-Moseley cost figures. In addition, one other project is being preliminarily recommended at this time and that is the construction of a beach/visitor parking facility on the seawall on property owned by the City in the amount of $750,000. The preliminary financing plan provides two estimations of tax increment financing revenues. The conservative development estimate states that the cumulative tax revenues between 2001- 143 2020 is estimated to be about $90 million, while the opportunistic development tax revenue estimates during the same time period is $139 million. Should the tax incremental financing process be completed and the District and City determine that we should move forward based on the ERA estimates and the proposed U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (CO E) preliminary sharing costs, ($19.5 million Federal, $10.5 million local), almost three times the amount of revenues needed for financing the local share would be generated under the conservative revenue estimates. Of course, there are a number of caveats that must be issued: 1. The ERA report is an estimate. 2. The COE study is ongoing and the COE could determine that the original cost figures need to be revised. 3. The amount to be established for a reserve for long term maintenance is subject to being revised. The process to move forward would be for the Council to approve the attached preliminary financing plan and to authorize notification to the other governmental entities. We would recommend that on August 22, we pUblish a notice of a public hearing to create the Tax Increment Zone and on August 29, the Council conduct a public hearing on creation of the Zone. If after the public hearing the Council desires to move forward, the Council could, by adopting an ordinance, create the Zone upon two readings. Subsequent to creation of the Zone, one or more meetings of the Board of Directors would be held leading to approval of a final project plan and financing plan and approved agreements concerning allocation of the tax increments. The City and the other taxing entities would then have to approve the agreements. The first year's tax increment would be as of the tax rolls of January 1, 2001 and the first increments would come into the Zone by January 2002. The issuance of bonds would coincide with COE timing requesting that the local share of the project be provided, estimated at this time to be late 2001 or early 2002. 1;. G:: 7ZJi W. Thomas Utter Assistant City Manager 144 - PRELIMINARY FINANCING PLAN PADRE ISLAND REINVESTMENT ZONE North Padre Island Storm Damage Reduction and Environmental Restoration Project. 145 On March 21, 2000, the Corpus Christi City Council authorized the preparation of a preliminary financing plan for a tax increment financing district covering a portion of North Padre Island. This tax increment financing would be used to provide the local share of the North Padre Island Storm Damage Reduction and Environmental Restoration Project. The North Padre Island Storm Damage Reduction and Environmental Restoration Project has been discussed and studied over a number of years. The project involves the placement of sand in front of the Padre Island Seawall to restore the beach and protect the seawall. The sand is to be taken from the dredging and channelization of a reopened Packery Channel (see Exhibit 1 for a map and one page project narrative). The project also consists of long jetties, walks, mitigation, public facilities, and reserve for long-term maintenance. The estimated cost of the project is approximately $30 million. The preliminary capital cost estimates are: Dredging/Sand Placement Total $ 4,500,000 12,000,000 200,000 3,000,000 4,000,000 2,300,000 4.000.000 $30,000,000 Jetties Jetty Walks Shoreline Protection Mitigation, Public & Environmental Facilities Design, Engineering, Permitting Reserve for Long-Term Maintenance The project was included in Sec. 556 of the Water Resources Development Act of 1999. The Act also required the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (COE) to undertake two studies: (1) to determine if the project is environmentally acceptable and (2) to determine if the project is technically sound. A relatively small amount of money has been made available by the Federal government for the studies. The local share of the project, which would be approximately $10.5 million, could potentially come from tax increment financing. This type of financing was authorized by a State Constitutional Amendment. The basic theory of tax increment financing is that "the construction of certain public improvements will generate higher tax revenues due to additional private development." The 146 ,.-- concept is the "but for the construction of the public improvements, the higher tax receipts would not occur." In this particular case, we believe that completion of the project will result in significantly increased taxes through both new private investment and increases in the existing tax values. Under State law, only cities can undertake tax increment financing, however, other taxing jurisdictions such as the county can join with the city. The only revenues that can go into a tax increment financing district are the additional taxes resulting from new construction increases in tax value subsequent to creation of the tax increment zone. In addition to the COE project, one other project is being recommended which involves the construction of a large parking facility adjacent to the seawall in the estimated amount of $750,000 on City-owned property in the estimated amount of $750,000. The local share of the COE project based on the preliminary estimates is $10.5 million and that together with the parking facility would bring the total amount to be financed to $11,250,000. The firm of Economics Research Associates (ERA) was engaged by the City to prepare a forecast of potential TIF revenue which could be generated within the proposed Zone. ERA has undertaken a number of studies both public and proprietary of the Corpus Christi area over the last few years. Drawing from their previous research and existing tax roll records, ERA has determined that under a conservative development scenario, $90,349,070 would be generated as tax increments between 2001 and 2020. An opportunity development scenario indicates during the same time period $139,825,786 would be generated. Based on just the conservative development alternative by the Year 2004, the Zone would be generating revenue considerably in excess of required financing. Even though a proposed bond issue would be required to be slightly rear-end loaded to ease the debt services over the first three years, the amount of revenue estimated to be generated would be aoproximatelv three times needed for financing the preliminary costs as outlined above. This substantial revenue will allow for any variances in the final CaE numbers and should allow a very substantial maintenance fund accumulation. While the preliminary financing has been based on a 20-year period, it may also be possible to complete the repayment of the financing in considerably less than 20 years based upon the revenue projections. Once the bonds are paid in full and the maintenance fund secured, the tax increment collection would cease. This preliminary financing plan also is based on developers within the Zone purchasing the bonds with the possibility of some or all of the maintenance funds being generated out of cash flow. Additionally, we would seek to protect the 147 project by having any bonds subordinated to any and all payments for maintenance of the project during the life of the bonds. Any bonds issued would specifically be backed by only the revenues of the project and would not be an obligation against the City or any other taxing district. It is to be assumed that this preliminary financing plan mayor will be amended by the proposed Board of Directors and subsequently by the City Council as the exact cost of the projects is determined by the COE and the determination is made as to the appropriate level of maintenance reserve funding. Attached and made a part of this is a preliminary tax increment financing schedule, a metes and bounds description, and the final draft of the ERA report. 148 Nueces County Padre Island Tax Incremen Financing Oi trict , I , Pad, Balli ) Co ty Park ( " ) I .

ERA understands that the base year for the district is calendar year 2000. From this base year valu=, ERA. gl:IlCl'ates two sets of TIF revenue inputs: 1.

Growth in assessed values and taxes paid for ..uuebt impro"OIll....d.. and VlICBIlt lancI, as well as new development, beyond levels ddined in the base year constitute the increment in property tax revenue that can be captnred for pvt<;utialuse in the Pad=y n..mnpt project.

Ba~.......d To justify fom:ast growth rates for cxiating iJnpmvcmcnts and vacaart land. ERA conducted addilional background ~ to establish tax base trends for the proposood TIF district. In tbis research, BRA noted two lcey factors impacting the district which need to be COIIlIidemi in developing a forecast. FiIst, the redevelopment area is largely vacant, with an lIm\Y of scattered, generally olcler existing improvemenu, including mid.- rise coDdominium aDd hotel properties. sc.ure..ed single liunily homes. 2-3 story apartmeIIt I'CI1tals, and low-de.nsity retail. The following table illustrates this point. The table shows that 63.7% of the tatalland an:a is cummtiy vacant, with the two most signific:mt imPl'Ovement categories being medium density residential and commercial uses. accounting for about 3.5% of total land area in the proposed TIP district. For these reasons, the 1'CCIe'lelopmen1 area is consider=d to be an unproductive and under-developed area of the City. ERA also lDIdemands that no more then IlJOA. of the TIF area can be cl~~ified as residemial, which a~g to state law CQvm parcels with between I and S units.

Beginning in 1995, the City of CoIpUS Christi WllJI able to fix the beach easement at the base of the seawall. which allowed values to grow. As noted above, in developing an estimate of tax inac:ment gc:ncmtl:d by the planned TIF diSClrict, judgment regarding the rate of near-tenD appreciation of existing improvements and vacant land is cruciaL The above chart also indicates that rates of annual growth since 1997 have modmI1cd svhdAnti'Jlly, .fal.Ii.ng from 19% betw=n 1997 and 1998 to 11% between 1998 and 1999. Taken by itself. this trend would suggest tbatthe majority of lrppreciation bas 8heady oc:eurred. Howevec, ERA believes that the conslnlction lIIId developmeDt of the Pack.ery Cbaanel bas the potential to 5..ae.ate to further appreciation in the property tax b8se.

The above table assumes that Packery Clwmel is developed in the time frame DOted above.

That cUItCl1t land and property valucs have room to grow is demonstnttcd by the following table, which O1.llines key land use and Ilsscssm'=llt statistics for 5 resid.-;..I projects in the proposed TIP district, all located on or near the gulf scaw1dl The table shows that the four condo projects each have assesse<l land values between $181.000 and $216,000 per acre, while the ~ improvements have values of between $60,000 and $89,000 per tmit. The condo projects arc all built at a density ofbetweeo 22 and 32 units per acre.

B. Motion directing that the proposed November election include a proposition for a 1/8 cent economic development sale tax for the construction of a new arena. ISSUE: The City Council has previously authorized the hiring of a Needs Assessment group, PKF and Morris Architects (together with a Project Management Group headed by Gilbane and Associates, including Conventional Wisdom and the Anderson Group). The Needs Assessment study was enlarged to include consideration of a new arena. The groups have finalized their studies and are completing their final report. This report will be available for distribution to the Council on Monday afternoon and a full presentation has been scheduled for Tuesday (June 29). Depending on the findings of the City Council, the Council may want to move forward at that time with a request for proposals for architectural/ engineering services for the expansion and renovation of the Convention Center which is already funded through the two percent additional hotel motel tax and the placement of a 1/8 cent economic development sales tax on the proposed November election for the construction of a new arena. The Council is advised that the unique nature of the Convention Center project warrants waiver of the 75% local participation policy for professional services. 7J-~ 2I1J- W. Thomas Utter Assistant City Manager 173 21 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMORANDUM June 23, 2000 AGENDA ITEM: Motion approving the Economic Development Program funded by a proposecl1/8th cent sales tax increase and authorizing the City Manager to proceed with all required actions to place the proposal on the November 7, 2000 Election ballot. ISSUE: The City Council has determined that economic development initiatives are essential to attract jobs and businesses to Corpus Christi. The Oty Council is proposing that funding for the overall initiative come from a 1/8th cent increase in the sales tax. Increases in the sales tax require voter approve,l. Accordingly, the Council has directed that the initiative be placed on the November 7, 2000 Election ballot. BACKGROUND: During the May 4-Sth, 1999 Council Retreat, the City Council established several goalS including the establishment of an Economic Development program to be funded by a l/Sth cent increase in sales tax. In 1989 the State Legislature amended the Development Corporation Act of 1979 to include the option of up to a 1/2 cent sales tax for economic development. Local governments may use the funding to assist in job creation by funding economic incentives for business development and expansion. Of the 1/2 cent sales tax available for local use, the Crime Control and Prevention District was authorized 1/8 cent sales tax by the voters in November 1998, leaving 3/8-cents available for other identified uses. The Council has requested that the City Manager develop a preliminary plan for an Economic Development Program. A program outline is attached for your review. FUTURE COUNCIL ACTION: August 22, 2000 - Approval of Ordinance calling a November 7, 2000 Election for the economic development sales tax proposal. REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Development of an Economic Development Program proposal and authorizing the Oty Manager to proceed with necessary actions associated with placing the proposal on the November 7,2000 Election. ADDITIONAL SUPPORT MATERIAL Economic Development Program m 175 ~~~~ =- == Chnsti Memo 'T-Y __ ~ To: From: Date: Subject: Mayor and Council David R. Garcia, City Manager June 22, 2000 Economic Development Program funded by the 1/8'h cent Sales Tax Introduction In 1989 the State Legislature amended the Development Corporation Act of 1979 to include the option of up to a Y2 cent sales tax for economic development. The City Council has indicated a desire to include a 1/8"' cent increase in the sales tax on the ballot currently scheduled to go before the voters in November. The purpose of this sales tax increase would be to support economic development efforts and to attract jobs and businesses into Corpus Christi. This report outlines the structure of what this economic development program should include and describes the types of activities and efforts that will be supported by the resources made available by the sales tax increase. Economic Development Program The primary purpose of the economic development program created by the sales tax increase will be to create new jobs in Corpus Christi. Resources from this program will be made available to support the following activities: 1. The recruitment of businesses and industries from outside the region into Corpus Christi or the Corpus Christi area, this may include, a. the marketing of Corpus Christi to specific companies or industries that are considering expanding or relocating facilities. b. Acquisition, underwriting or development of land, buildings, plants or warehouse facilities that will be the site of new plants or businesses c. provision of roads, bridges, utilities or other infrastructure improvements to reduce the cost to a company or business which is considering locating a plant or facility in Corpus Christi. d. provision of direct subsidies to defray or reduce the costs to a company which is relocating their operations to Corpus Christi. e. direct assistance in securing financing or in reducing the cost of short or long term financing that may be directly tied to the creation or relocation of a business or industrial facility to Corpus Christi. f. assistance in subsidizing or underwriting the cost of job training, apprenticeship or internship programs necessary to insure a qualified and skilled workforce for a business that is relocating to Corpus Christi. 176 - 2. Facilitating the expansion and growth of existing businesses and industries within Corpus Christi. Priority will be given to businesses that provide full time, competitive wages and salaries for their employees with comprehensive retirement and health benefits, this assistance may include, a. the acquisition or underwriting of land, buildings, plants or warehouse facilities necessary for the direct expansion of the existing business b. provision of roads, bridges, utilities or other infrastructure improvements to reduce the cost to a company or business who is considering expanding a plant or facility in Corpus Christi c. direct assistance in securing financing or in reducing the cost of short or long term financing that may be directly tied to the expansion of a business or industrial facility in Corpus Christi d. assistance in subsidizing or underwriting the cost of job training, apprenticeship or intemship programs necessary to insure a qualified and skilled workforce for a business that is relocating to Corpus Christi 3. Facilitating the entrepreneurial opportunities within Corpus Christi, and providing direct assistance and support to start up companies and businesses, with emphasis on those in technology and growth industries who pay competitive wages with comprehensive health and retirement benefits. This support may include, a. the development, either directly or in joint venture, of business incubator facilities, office, industrial, or warehouse complexes which may be built on a speculative basis b. Direct assistance in securing financing or reducing the cost of short or long term financing that is tied to the start up of a new business venture in Corpus Christi c. Marketing facilities that are available or have been developed in Corpus Christi to entrepreneurs or persons interested in start up ventures In addition to the activities which are outlined in the above three major areas other economic development activities may be supported by resources from the 1/81h cent sales tax increase. The activities will generally fall into a category of support to major generators of economic activity. These types of activities include: 1. Support for the airport in enhancing its ability to attract travelers, cargo, new flight service or additional carriers. This will also include support to the development of airport industrial and office parks as well a infrastructure improvements to the airport and support facilities including general land acquisition and roadway improvements. 2. Support for port related facilities and water-bome commerce. 3. Support for professional and amateur sports. athletic, tourist and convention facilities, including stadiums, ball parks, auditoriums, concert halls, exhibition facilities, museums and related retail, concession and parking facilities. 4. The redevelopment or reuse of deteriorated or blighted properties in a community. Including programs to support the economic reuse of underutilized parcels of property, which may include the assembly of smaller blighted parcels of land into larger more productive tracts. This will also include programs to reuse military bases or facilities that may become available to the community. 177 Governance and Administration An Economic Development Corporation will be created that would have primary responsibility for the administration of the economic development program. This Corporation would consist of a five member board of directors. The members of this board would be appointed by the City Council and serve a one year term. The board members will choose their President annually. The primary staff support would be provided by the City Manager who would also serve as an ex-officio member of the board of directors. The City Attorney or his designee would serve as the legal counsel to the board. Development Corporation Resources The 1/8th cent sales tax increase would generate approximately $3,800,000.00 annually. These resources are to be spend solely to achieve the programs specified above. Additionally they will be spent within the following guidelines: 1. The funds are to be spent, insofar as possible, to directly support the creation of new jobs. 2. Funds will not be spent on Packery Channel 3. Funds will not be spent on Convention or Tourism Marketing programs 4. No more than 10% of the funds will be spent on economic development marketing programs 5. No more than 10% of the funds will be spent on administration of the program 6. Funds not spent at the conclusion of the fiscal year will be carried over to the next year and retained within the Development Corporation reserves. v' R.

ISSUE: The Seawall and other parts of the flood protection system for downtown Corpus Christi are about GO years old and require substantial repairs and upgrades. The approximate cost for the Seawall Repair Project is $43 million dollars is and cannot be funded through operating funds. The Council has proposed that funding come from a 1/8th cent sales tax increase. Accordingly, the Council has directed that the sales tax initiative be placed on the November 7, 2000 Election ballot BACKGROUND: On March 24, 1998, the City Council authorized the Seawall Investigation Project. The comprehensive study by Shiner Moseley and Associates, Inc was undertaken to determine the condition of the Seawall and recommend restoration options. A final report was presented by Shiner Moseley in November of 1999. The report found that extensive repair and renovation was required to ensure the integrity of the seawall. Various options were presented including differing costs depending on the level of repair. A cost of $43 million is estimated for the essential work required. At various times, questions of whether the Seawall qualifies for funding under the Economic Development provisions were raised. The State Attorney General has validated the City Attorney's position that the Seawall Project qualifies for sales tax funding (see attached Attorney General's Opinion) FUTURE COUNCIL ACTION: August 22, 2000 - Approval of Ordinance calling a November 7, 2000 Election for the Seawall 1/8-cent sales tax increase proposal. REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Approval of the Seawall Repair proposal and authorizing the City Manager to proceed with necessary actions associated with placing the proposal on the November 7, 2000 Election. e K.

June 15, 2000 Mr. Jim Thomassen Assistant Attorney General Public Finance Division 209 W. 14th Street, Suite 600 Austin, TeltAS 78701 RE: City of Corpus Christi Sales Tax Election under Section 4A of the Development Corporation Act Dear run: - By this letter I wish to follow up on my previous discussion with you regarding the Section 4A sales tax election to be held by the City of Corpus Christi on November 6, 2000. One of the proposed projects, which would be separately presented to the voters, consists ofimprovemems to the downtown seawall. We would appreciate your views on the appropriateness ofusing 4A fimds for the seawall project based on the following project description and factual infonnation that has been furnished by city officials. The seawall is the primary component of Corpus Christi's 3.5 mile-long tidewater flood protection system. The system was built from 1939 to 1942 to protect against hurricanes such as the disastrous hurricane of 1919. The system surrounds downtown with an elevated (at least 13 feet above sea level), 3.5-mile perimeter that is above the stillwater flood level of the l00-year stonn, keeping ma,jor storm surge flooding out of the downtown area (which is lower than five feet above sea level in some areas). Maps are attar.hed to provide perspective on the relationship of tile seawall to downtown Corpus Christi. Marine structures of this type genera1ly require ma,jor maintenance after 30-40 years; however, the seawall has had little maintenance to date. In November 1999, the City received a report based on a comprehensive stUdy by Shiner Mosely and Associates, Inc., Engineers and Consultants, which evaluated the need for major repairs to the seawall (executive summary enclosed). Shiner Mosely concluded that major repairs must be undertaken and that the cost would range from $32.3 to $38.2 million (pre-storm cost in 1999 doIlars - post hurricane cost could be substantially greater). They recommended repairs to the sloped seawall by the Holiday Inn, the Stepped Seawall, the L- and T-HeadsIMarina Bulkheads, the Lower Corps of Engineers Bulkhead, and the Back Water Levee, along with architectural features and amenities. The primary focus of the proposed repairs is the area from the Holiday Inn north to the barge dock, a distance of approximately two miles, Repairs would be conducted so as to minimize disruption to visitors and businesses. 183 The area protected by the seawall (see attached maps) consists of approximately 551 acree-.. with private propeny tax valuation of$203, 000,511, plus in excess of$2oo,000,000 of value in C State, and Federal propeny. The area is Corpus Christi's "downtown." It includes: I) major office buildings, such as One Shoreline Plaza, the new Federal Courthouse, a number of banks, and numerous large office buildings; 2) the City's largest hotels (1,700 rooms); 3) Convention Cemer, Memorial Coliseum, Art C ,.ilter, Art Museum, Science and History Museum, Harbor Playhouse. Museum of Oriental Cultc.res, Selena Bayfront Auditorium, and Heritage Park; 4) primary entenainment district including numerous nightclubs and restaurants; 5) city marina; and 6) warehouses and terminal facilities of the Pon of Corpus Christi Authority (the nation's fifth busiest pon by tonnage). The downtown area has revitalized in recent years after many years of decline. City development specialists and planners strongly believe that a protective seawall is essential to maximizing new and expanded commercial and retail business development and retaining co...........;a] business activity in the area, and believe that maximizing development in the area is critical to the City's employment and long-term economic health. In addition to its function of promoting business activity and growth in the downtown area, the seawall itselfserves as one of Corpus Christi's premier tourist fiIcilities. The beauty of Corpus Christi Bay is enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of tourists and conventioneers each year from the seawall. Approximately two miles of the structure front the bayfront with 20-foot sidewalks and 25- foot steps down to the water's edge. This directly overlooks hundreds of boats, recreational and commercial, in the marina (part of the seawall complex), which is set on three landmasses (the "L- head" and the "T -heads"), which are funher encircled by a breakwater which is also open to pedestrians. The seawall sidewalk is a center of pedestrian activity, with walkers, joggers, skater]. and bicyclists. In addition, Shoreline Drive, immediately next to the sidewalk., provides tourists I conventioneers, with one of the nation's most aesthetically pleasing drives. FIShing is available to ta..w public from the seawall, the breakwater, a pier, and related structures, as well as from charter boats in the marina. Restaurants are avai1able not only throughout the downtown area, but on the T and L-heads themse1ves. At the nonh end of the seawall tourists and conventioneers often enjoy watching oceangoing ships piloted through the 4S-foot deep channel into the Pon fiIcilities. The seawall area is the heart of Corpus Christi's convention business and is one of its three critical tourist areas (the others being Corpus Christi Beach and PadreIMustang Island). Public parks line the median of Shoreline Drive in front of the seawall, McGee Beach is a public park, and the seawall itself serves as public park and open space. The seawall currently has various amenities including overlooks, the Selena Memorial, lighting, benches and shade structures. The Shiner Mosely repon calls for additional shade structures, more lighting, architectura1 finishes, and other amenities that add to the aesthetics of the downtown waterfront area. There is great potential for enhanced activities on the seawall and related areas which of course depend on the structural soundness of the facility. The seawall serves multiple purposes which meet the economic development objectives of Section 4A of the Development Corporation Act [which objectives under subsection (s)(1) also include Section 4B projects]. Among others, these include the foUowing: FII'st., the seawall is a facility and improvement which promotes new and expanded business development; e.g., a project "directed at expanding or retaining commercial business activity." 2000 Economic Development Handboolc, Office of the Attorney General, p. 11. Second, and ~imil"r\y, it meets the Section 4B criteria of promoting or developing new or expanded business enterprises, including a project 10 provide public safety (storm and flood protection, safe sidewalk and steps for pedestrians) facili 184 streets (the seawall sidewalk is an essential pan of the Shoreline Drive right-of-way serving hundreds of thousands of pedestrians, and is pan of the Bayfront Hike and Bike Trail), drainage (co~ng with the City's stormwater system, it is a fundamental pan of draining the commercial areas behind the seawall), general municipally owned improvements, related improvements, and other projects that the board determines promote or develop new or expanded business enterprises. Sec. 4B (2)(B). Third, it meets the Section 4B purpose of being required or suitable for use for entertllinm....t (for example, hundreds of thousands gather there to watch and participate in events such as Buccaneer Days, Bayfest, parades, sailing regattas, the Founh of July and Millennium Celebration fireworks displays, and the East-West Powerboat Races), tourist, convention, and public park purposes and events. Sec. 4B(2}(A). As a place conducive to gatherings of hundreds of thousands of people, the seawall serves the function of an auditorium, amphitheater, or concen hall. In addition, in the most classic sense it serves the purpose of public paries and facilities and open space improv""'-. In many ways the seawall is comparable to the River Walk in San Antonio. In addition, the seawall complex (including the marina) serves and has the capacity to expand services of store, restaurant, concession, automobile parking facilities, and area transportation facilities. Fourth, the seawall is a port-related facility which supports waterborne commerce. Sec. 4A((i}(2). In swn, broadly speaking, the seawall not only is essential to new and expanded commercial enterprises in the critical downtown area, as a structure it is itself an es5~,,1 entertllinml'!llt. tourist and convention facility which is part of the reason people come to Corpus Christi. In our previous conversations, you indicated that findings of the nature described in this letter - would enable your office to conclude that the seawall would qualify as a project for which the 4A sales tax could be expended. Your prompt written response to this letter confirming this understanding in writing, based upon the additional information you requested, would be greatly appreciated. Very truly yours, cc:: James R.

The City entered into a contract for services for ($12,000), which was the amount of money available at the time a decision had to be made. There was an understanding that fund raising efforts would continue because the actual cost for the production was $18,000.
