Willie Davila (Advisory) Water/Shore Advisory Committee Dr. Joseph Horvat (Reappointed) Steven Moody (Reappointed) Alan Dinn (Reappointed) Frank Beck (Reappointed) Dr. JoAnna Molt (Reappointed) Terri Nicolau Planning Commission Neill Amsler Eloy SalaTar Robert Zamom Minutes - Regular Council Meeting July 11. 2000 Page 2 Intergovernmental Commission on Drug and Alcohol Abuse Shelley Hinojosa Sister City Committee Danielle Solis Commission on Children and Youth Missy Medary (Reappointed) Rosa Balderas Megan Stripling Guy Watts Ethics Commission Irma Caballero Mayor Neal referred to the special discussion items on the agenda (Item G.). The first issue to be considered was the Bond Issue 2000 dra~ ordinance and proposed ballot language. City Attorney Bray explained that the proposed ballot would have six propositions as follows: Proposition No. 1, Street Improvements, in the aggregate principal amount of $20,776,000; Proposition No. 2. Park and Recreation and Museum Improvements, $4,694,000; Proposition No. 3, Public Health and Safety Improvements, $5,330,000; Proposition No. 4, Seawall Improvements, 1/Sth of a cent sales tax; Proposition No. 5, Arena Consu'uction, 1/Sth of a cent; and Proposition No. 6, Economic Development Sales Tax, 1/Sth of a cent. Mr. Bray pointed out that staff prepared two options (long and short versions) of Proposition Nos. 1, 2, and 3. He said the long form for each of those propositions lists the individual projects while the short form does not, which would leave the Council with more flexibility to deal with changes and circumstances that might come up. Mr. Bray explained that each of the first three propositions contains a total proposed amount for funding but does not list individual project amounts since the projects have not yet been designed. Mr. Bray added that Section 10 of the proposed ordinance contains language that sets the parameters for what the economic development sales tax (Proposition No. 6) could be expended for; i.e.. "only to attract and secure facilities and employers who contractuaily agree to add new facilities or expand existing facilities in Corpus Christi, and to permanently him or maintain employees in Corpus Christi." He said Section 11 relates to the seawall improvements and he referred to a letter the Council received from the Chief of the Bond Desk of the Attorney General's Office, who approved the seawall as a legitimate item for funding under the economic development sales tax. Mayor Neai asked if the order of the propositions on the ballot could be changed, and Mr. Bray said they could be. Responding to Council Member Garrett, City Secretary Chapa said the Council has the choice of having the city's bond issue included on the ballot for the presidential election (in which case the propositions would be at the end of the ballot on the opposite side), or having a separate ballot. Mr. Garcia and Mr. Bray further responded to Council members' questions regarding the proposed ballot language (the long form versus the short form), the letter from the Attomey Minutes - Regular Council Meeting July 11, 2000 Page 3 General's Office, the timing of the projects. and related issues. Mr. Garcia said that if the propositions are approved by the voters. the Council will be able to make adjustments as the bond program is implemented while not exceeding the aggregate mounts for each group of projects. Council Member Kinnison requested additional information about Proposition No. 6, the economic development sales tax. Mr. Bray said that if the Council is in agreement on the substantive provisions of the ordinance, staff could bring the proposed ordinance back next week for tirst reading. He said staff could include a caveat that Nueces County has not yet decided on all the election precincts and when they do that in August, staff could bring an amendment to the ordinance with those details. There were also questions about the provisions of Sections 4A and 4B of the Development Corporation Act of 1979. Following additional discussion. the Council reached consensus on the following issues: to adopt the long form for Proposition Nos. 1.2 and 3; to include specific dollar amounts for the parks listed under the subheading of "Renovation/Development of Existing Parks"; to include the word "multi-purpose" before the word "arena" in Proposition No. 5; and to create a sunset provision of 12 years for Proposition No. 6. Mayor Neat said the Council would formally adopt the ordinance next week. He then called for a brief recess. City Manager Garcia said staff would continue with their presentations on the FY2000-01 operating budget. The first presentation that day was made by Mr. Rudy Garza, Acting Budget Director, regarding the Internal Audit and Haman Relations departments. Utilizing a computer presentation, Mr. Garza said staff was recommending eliminating both depm tments, which would result in a cost savings of $185,693 in the Internal Audit Department (with three positions) and $263,950 in the Human Relations Department (which has six positions). Mr. Garza said the basic functions of Internal Audit are as follows: ensure adequate controls are in place to safeguard assets and control resources; monitor compliance with existing local, state, federal, legal and regulatory requirements; investigate possible violations of laws or policies and establish recommended corrective actions; and identify risks inherent in the government and the potential for errors or irregularities. To meet those basic functions, Mr. Garza said the Finance Department will continue current practices of reviewing utilization of city resources in compliance with all goveming regulations; the Finance Department and respective deparunents will continue established internal controls for cash transactions, including "spot" cash audits: the outside auditors' review of internal controls will be expanded; the Legal Depatmxent will continue to review and monitor the utilization of city resources. policies and procedures. including the development of required corrective actions; and the Finance Department and the Office of Management and Budget will conduct necessary internal audits and investigations. Mr. Garza noted that funding is included in the proposed budget to outsource additional audits. Minutes - Regular Council Meeting July 11. 2000 Page 4 Council Member Garrett asked if the Internal Audit Depatnuent had been eliminated once before and then reestablishcd. Mr. Gafza replied that the reestablishment of that depai huent was a tinding in the Mercer Report. He said the analysis revealed that at that time the organization did not have adequate controls in place in order to safeguard the city's assets. However, he said those controls are currently in place in the Finance Department and other operating depa~mlents and the Internal Audit Depashnent monitors their efforts. He said checks and balances are provided by the fact that the Finance Department and Management and Budget Office monitor things differently. Council Member Gonzales explained why he was concemed about eliminating the Internal Audit Depamxxent. Mr. Garza said a major issue is how to operate within the available resources and making decisions that will have the least impact on operations. He said staff believes the Internal Audit Depathnent can be eliminated while continuing to provide the necessary functions. Mr. Garcia acknowledged that the Intemai Audit Depaxhxxent does an excellent job and provides an extra safety net for the primary enforcement which takes place in other departments. He added that the city's external auditors provide another level of safety on top of that. He said as reductions were being made in city departments across the board, they examined how effective it would be to make a major reduction in the Internal Audit DepaxUnent; consequently, they concluded that it was basically more cost-effective to eliminate the entire unit. He said having an Internal Audit Depatm~ent is good for the organization but they just cannot afford it at this time. Even with the elimination of that depathaent, the city still maintains a high level of internal and external controls. Responding to Council Member Colmenero, Mr. Garcia said he was not entirely sure that a traditional internal audit function is the way of the future. He said many other communities are establishing municipal integrity units that deal not just with the financial and auditing functions but deal with the whole issue of integrity, ethics and enforcement of standards wig an organization. With regard to staff's recommendation regarding the Intemal Audit Department, Mr. Garcia reiterated that they looked at every activity in the city and focused on those that deliver basic services to the public as well as those that have overlapping areas of responsibility and redundant services. Deputy City Manager Noe said if the Council approves this recommendation, two of the Internal Audit staff members will go to the Finance Department. Dr. GorEales said he thought one of the functions of the Internal Audit Department was to provide information upon request from the City Council and the City Manager. Council Member Betty Jean Longoria also explained why she was concerned with this recommendation. Council Member John Longoria questioned whether the Mercer Report reflects how the city is operated at this time. Council Member Kinnison said that while it is difficult to consider eliminating a department, it is also difficult determining what other sacrifices will be made to conform with the budget constraints. He said if an internal audit function is reestablished in the future, he feels that department should report directly to the Council. Mr. Garza said the second department that staff is recommending eliminating is the Human Relations Department. He said the department's total expenditures are $337,300 and the estimated EEOC revenues are $73.350. for a net savings of $263.950. He said the basic functions of the Human Minutes - Regular Council Meeting July 11. 2000 Page 5 Relations Department are to perform necessary services regarding complaints from citizens throughout the area alleging discrimination in employment. housing and access to places of public accommodation. Services include intake, investigations. reconciliations, resolutions, and assistance for EEOC referrals. He said they also provide training, public information, and other requested assistance. Mr. Garza said that if the Human Relations Department is eliminated, citizens can (as they do now) contact the EEOC regional office in San Antonio, either in person, by mail. or by telephone. In response to Council members' concerns, Mr. Garcia said staff examined two other options: maintaining the Human Relations Director's position in the Human Resources Department (for approximately $80,000) in order to continue to coordinate with the San Antonio EEOC office; or allowing the depathtient tO operate on grant funds and EEOC revenues (for a total of $173,000). In order to fund four positions under that option. an additional contribution of $41.000 from the General Fund would be necessary. Mr. Colmenero said that by eliminating the Human Relations Department, the city was deferring its responsibility to provide those services and would have wasted the money spent on the disparity study. He commented on the fact that that department serves poor and underprivileged people. Dr. Gonzales also said he was opposed to eliminating the deparunent and noted that the city was finally making progress on the fair housing ordinance. Dr. Helen CurIcy, Human Relations Director, then responded tO Council members' questions. Following additional discussion, Mr. Longoria said he would prefer that Dr. Curicy report directly to the City Manager. Mr. Garza then distributed an alternate operating budget for the Human Relations Depathnent for FY00-01 detailing the option Mr. Garcia previously discussed. The third budget presentation was made by Ms. Cynthia Garcia, Director of Human Resources. She said that department provides the following services: recruitment of qualified applicants; employee relations, including grievances, disciplines, and EEO charge investigations; governmental compliance with drug testing, EEO reporting, ADA compliance, and HR policy development; labor relations with regard to the Civil Service Commission and the Civil Service Board, as well as support to the police and fire collective bargaining agreements; and training, development, and overseeing the city's retirement system. Ms. Garcia said the Human Resources Depathnent's current budget is $1.65 million with 24.25 full-time equivalents (FTE's) and the proposed FY00-01 budget is $1.33 million with 20.25 FTE's, for a difference of $325,455 and 4 FTE's. She said the proposed budget consists of the following: salaries and retirement - 66.5%; other intemal allocations - 13.6%; insurance allocations - 7.7%; operating costs - 6.4%; contractual services - 4.3%; and debt service - 1.5%. She said the significant changes were salaries (FY99-00 merit increase impact) - increase of $34,297; insurance allocations - increase of $3,323; and MIS allocation charge - decrease of $282,372. Minutes - Regular Council Meeting July 11, 2000 Page 6 Ms. Garcia said that in addition to the MIS allocation. the Human Resources Depaxunent was asked to reduce its budget by $120.580 through the following reductions: four FTE's for $110,306 - Office Assistant I, HR Analyst II, Secretary, and HR Technicran; temporary services - $9,633; professional services - $6,957; and travel - $3,509. She said the operational/program changes that would result are reorganization of the depathz~ent; reverting from specialists to generalists; prioritization of competing customer services with a longer response time; and less time for proactive process improvements. Ms. Garcia also discussed the need for a citywide compensation and classification plan study. Ms. Garcia then responded to Council members' questions regarding overtime, employee relations functions, and the impact of the reductions on customer service. The fourth budget presentation was made by Mr. Herb Canales, Director of Libraries. He noted that the Libraries' adopted FY99-00 budget is $3.04 million with 70.5 FTE's and the proposed FY00-OI budget is $2.96 million with 63.5 FTE's, for a difference of $78,713 and 7 FTE's. He said that includes the budget for the Janet Harte Library, which is scheduled to open next month. Mr. Canales said the significant increases are: salaries (FY99-00 merit increase impact) - $111,373; insurance allocations - $36,235; books and periodicals - $24,725; lease payments - $7,468; MIS allocations - $38,908; and light, heat and power - $19,035. He said the reductions entail $50,458 less in operating expenses and $238,875 less in salaries and benefits involving the following positions: Assistant Library Director, Librarian I, Libman IV, two Library Assistant II's, two Senior Library Aides, and two part-time custodial workers. Mr. Canales said the operational/program changes include a reduction in the hours of operation at the Central Library from 70 per week to approximately 50 and at the branch libraries from 56 to about 48 per week. Also, the children's deparuttent at the Central Library, which serves a low-income area, will have been effectively reduced from three positions to one, thereby eliminating most services to children there. A discussion ensued about the importance of the children' s program and literacy in general, as well as the hours of operation at the libraries. Mr. Canales pointed out that the Harte Library will be open on Sundays during the school year due to its association with Flour Bluff High School; however, the branch libraries are not open on Sundays. He said that with the addition of the Gates grant to purchase computers, the libraries will have 100 computers for public use, all of which have been paid for with outside funds. Mr. Canales said that although this year is not a problem, he wanted the Council to be aware that actual expenditures of less than $2.8 million annually will result in a loss of the South Texas Library System and Interlibrary Loan grants totaling $904,241. He said the city will also lose its state membership and not be eligible to apply for grants where membership is required. Mr. Canales commented on the support of the Friends of the Library and the Foundation. He also further responded to Council members' questions. Minutes - Regular Council Meeting July 11. 2000 Page 7 Mayor Neal announced the tbllowing executive session. pursuant to Texas Government Code Section 551.071 for attomey client consultation regarding issues raised by new area landfills, with possible action and discussion in open session regarding operating and financial issues for the city' s landfills. The Council went into executive session. The Council returned from executive session. The fifth budget presentation was made by Mr. Norben Hart, Director of Housing and Community Development (HCD). He said that although HCD is composed of four divisions, they would be discussing the two General Fund divisions--Building Inspections and Code Enforcement. He said the net operating budget for FY99-00 is $1.78 million and the net cost for FY00-01 is $1.58 million, a difference of $196,283. He said the significant increases are: salaries - $50,857: insurance allocations - $42,203; MIS allocations - $157,660; other allocations - $9,071; and legal fees - $5,000. Mr. Hart said the proposed reductions are: demolition/clean-up costs - $53,689; other operational costs - $17,267; travel - $5,000; and salaries and retirement - $120,327 for Building Inspector, Eleclrical Inspector, Plans Examiner, and Office Assistant I. He said that aRer this budget, all of the trades (building, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical) will have four inspectors and one chief inspector. He said in order to reach the target budget, staff also reduced the monies available for demolition and clean-up costs by $53,689 from last year, leaving $82,204. Mr. Hart said those reductions will result in the following program changes: extend the average inspection time from 24 hours to 48 hours; increase the plan review time from four to seven working days to seven to 10 working days; and increase the waiting time in the lobby for obtaining permits. He said the reduction in the amount of demolition/clean-up monies will result in a change from a proactive approach to an emergency need basis. Mr. Hart then responded to Council members' questions regarding responsiveness to citizens' needs. clean-up monies. and other issues. Mayor Neat referred to the presentation on the day's agenda, recognition of Victor Lara Ortegon's radio broadcasting career and declaring July 11, 2000 as "Victor Lara Ortegon Day." The Mayor then called for petitions from the audience. ..Mr. Jack Gordy, 310 Norton. said he counted 22 political signs from Everhart to Ayers that have been up since March 2000. He discussed the importance of the city enforcing the state law regarding signs. Council Member Betty Jean Longoria said the Council has spent the whole moming considering budget cuts throughout the city and fight now signs are not important. Mrs. Pat Suter, 1002 Chamberlain. praised several staff members for their work in Blucher and Suter parks. She also commented that public services have greatly decreased since she came to Corpus Christi in 1960. which she questioned. Mayor Neal replied that costs have increased in the last 30 years. Minutes - Regular Council Meeting July 11, 2000 Page 8 Mr. R.F. Hasker, 1813 Wallace, referred to an article which stated that Packcry Channel will not improve the Laguna Madre and he commented on the consideration of the tax incremem financing (TIF) district item during the June 27, 2000 Council meeting. City Manager Garcia verified that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers conducted an environmental study and determined that Packcry Channel will neither improve nor deteriorate the quality of the Laguna Madre. Mr. Mike Baker, 4641 Gayle Circle, said the position of the Coordinator of Voltmteer Guides at Heritage Park should not be eliminated, as is recommended in the proposed budget. He discussed the importance of Heritage Park as a tourist attraction. Mr. Leon Perez, 904 Buford, discussed the recent crack down on prostitution. Mr. J.E. O'Brien, 4130 Pompano, questioned the purpose of holding a public hearing for the formation of the TIF district when he said the outcome is preordained. He said the TIF district downtown is $207,000 short on its debt service payment, which will come out of the General Fund. Mr. O'Brien also stated that there is a petition on file with 8,400 signatures against Packcry Channel. Council Member Scott pointed out that the TIF disla'ict on North Padre Island does not include any liability on behalf of the city. Mr. Rolando Ban'era, representing the Hispanic Contractors Association, said the construction contract for the new airport terminal is currently bid out as one project for $19.5 million. He said they would like that contract to be broken down by divisions so that local businesses can have the oppommity to bid on it. Council Member Gonzales asked how the airport terminal contract could be broken down. .Mr. Garcia disuibuted a memo from Ms. Bonnie Allin, Aviation Director, and Mr. Angel Escobar, Director of Engineering Services, regarding minority/DBE participation at the airport. He pointed out that the airport construction is broken out into eight different projects (terminal, roadway and parking, terminal apron paving, airport wastewater lift station retocation, tower demolition and paving, tower asbestos, airfield electrical improvements, and service road). He said they were in the middle of the bid process at that time and about 93 proposals have been sent out to contractors who are interested in bidding on this project. He said they had the pre-bid conference that day and they will probably extend the due date two weeks to provide opportunities for people who are interested in submitting bids. Mr. Garcia went on to say that they looked at the possibility of breaking up the terminal contract into smaller contracts but there would be a six-month additional time period at approximately $100,000 a month. He pointed out that the terminal project is very complex because the construction needs to occur while the terminal is operating; consequently, they felt they needed the coordination of a single contractor to ensure that there is a minimum amount of disruption. Following additional discussion, Ms. Allin said they can ask the consultant to come back in two weeks with a response on whether or not the terminal contract can be broken up. Mr. Abel Alonzo. 1701 Thames. said that as a member of the Airport Board he thought there Minutes - Regular Council Meeting July 11. 2000 Page 9 ~vas going to be minority participation on the airport contract. Mr. Garcia noted that the memo he distributed delineates minority participation levels tkr above the 10% minimum. Dr. Gonzales said they were merely asking whether or not the contract can be broken up. Mr. Garcia added that they barely havi: the money needed to build the airport project. Mr. Kinnison said this issue should have been brought up sooner in the process. Mr. Eloy Salazar said he did not know of any minority, businesses that will be able to bid on a contract the size of the airport terminal contract. He said he disagreed with Mr. Garcia that there will be a cost overrun and that the project will have to be redesigned. He said he had previously been involved with construction projects that were broken up but had a project manager and were completed on time. Mayor Neal said he did not think it is a foregone conclusion that the terminal construction project will be awarded to a non-local company. Mr. Garcia said they need to build the best quality building at the lowest possible cost. Mayor Neal called for a brief recess. A motion was made, seconded and passed to open the public heating on Item 19, FY00-01 Operating and Capital Budgets. The Mayor then called for public comment on the budgets. Mr. William Raybum suggested that the city require people to parchase a sales tax permit for $7.00 each in order to have a garage sale, flea market sale or similar sales. He said there are approximately 900 such sales per weekend in Corpus Christi. He said some surrounding communities require similar permits, which he explained. Ms. Anna Mercado-Flores read from a resolution passed by the Human Relations Commission on June 16, 2000 con~mm~g the continued support of the commission, pursuant to the city' s Code of Ordinances. Mr. Errol Summerlin, Executive Director of Coastal Bend Legal Services, said he has been a long-time member of the Human Relations Commission, which was created by the city in 1963 to advise the Council on what is needed to ameliorate racial tensions and to eliminate bigotry, prejudice and discrimination in the community. He said the deparunent staff were added later to assist the commission in its work. He also described how the EEOC work share agreement and Fair Housing ordinance came about and the importance of adding personnel with the grant monies. Mr. Abel Alonzo described how the Human Relations Commission assisted him with a situation regarding his disability. He said the city should not rely on grants to fund the Human Relations Department; rather. it should come from the General Fund. Mr. Oscar Hinojosa. newly appointed chairman of the Human Relations Commission, said the department is very. important: tbr example. it is investigating 169 EEO cases at this time. Minutes - Regular Council Meeting July t 1,2000 Page 10 Mr. R.J. Herschbach suggested that patrol cars carry. fire extinguishers. Mr. Eric Felt commented on ..~e proposed elimination of the Police Academy in the next budget, which personally impacts him. Mr. Garcia replied that staff feels the city can maintain the existing approved level of police officers through the next fiscal year without an academy. Mr. Jack Gordy said lights are needed for the flag pole at Fire Station #7. A member of the Library Board expressed concern about the proposed reductions at the libraries, which will impact the children' s programs, the reference section, and other programs. Ms. Carol Matthews, another member of the Library Board, discussed the many private donations and grants that have been made over the years to the city' s libraries. including the monies for the Janet Harte Library in Flour Bluff. Ms. Yvonne Kilstra said the proposed reductions in the Library budget will lessen access to information through books, periodicals, electronic information, and computer literacy training and will affect a broad range of citizens. Mr. Clif Moss said that if inflation is taken into account, the Library budget has continued to decrease. He said the city's per capita library expenses are less than those of other cities. He urged the Council to increase the Library's budget. Mr. Trian Serbu said that anything the Council can do to retain the youth park and recreation 'tograms and even to increase them benefits the city in the long run. Ms. Kyra Shook said that $100,000 of the city's money is used to office two staff members at the Downtown Management District (DMD). Mr. Ken Griffin, Chairman of the DMD, said that in June the DMD completed its next petition cycle, which allows it to proceed for three more years. He described several projects undertaken by the DMD including lighting, trash receptacles, and banners and he commented on the DMD's involvement in downtown festivals and clean-up projects. Mr. J.E. O'Brien said there is no question that the DMD has accomplished many good things in the downtown area but rather it is a question of priority during this time of budget shortfalls. He discu~s~j the valuation of downtown properties such as One Shoreline Plaza. Mr. Jose Marroquin said the city needs to prioritize and cut non-essential services. Mr. Alonzo spoke in support of the DMD, saying that people who participate in the downtown area contribute to the tax base. Ms. Gilna Nance. Director of the Volunteer Center. said they have had a contract with the Minutes - Regular Council Meeting July 11. 2000 Page 11 city since 1989 to take re/~rmls ti'om Mumcipal Court of people ordered to provide community service. She said they were asking/br an additional $12,550 to hire a part-time employee to assist with the center' s contract with the city. Mr. Raybum urged the Council to maintain the twice-a-week garbage pick up. Mrs. Dorothy Spann commented on the proposed elimination of the Internal Audit Department and reductions in the Building inspection Division. Ms. Cruz Colomo said the city needs to maintain twice-a-week garbage collection and she said the Council should not make cuts in police, fire, or Human Relations. She also suggested that the Council members auction off their Council chairs as a source of income. Mr. Robert McCarty, Treasurer of the Harbor Playhouse, said that while the arts seem like a luxury during difficult budget periods, companies take that into consideration when considering relocating. He said the Playhouse' s roof needs to be replaced and they have had difficulty raising the funds because the city owns the building. Ms. Pamela Early, Executive Director of the Harbor Playhouse, thanked the city for funding the Playhouse in the past and she discussed the need for a new roof at the Playhouse. She said they believe that with some funding from the city for the roof, donors would be more willing to provide financial assistance. Mr. Robert Young, who owns and operates Frontier Surveying Company, discussed the importance of functional Geographical Information Systems and Municipal Information Systems. He said it is important for the city to coordinate GIS and MIS efforts with Texas A&M University- Corpus Christi, which is the only four-year university in the state to offer a degree in surveying. Mr. Gordy said the ordinance prohibiting drinking alcohol in city parks is not being enforced, which causes people to not care whether they litter in the parks. Mr. Marroquln said the city needs to maintain twice-a-week garbage collection because of the heat and humidity in this area. He said he did not object to cutting programs that do not bring money into the city. Mr. Isaac Valencia, President of the Police Officers Association, said they are concerned about the proposed cuts in the Police Department, including this year's and next year's police academy, 10 officers from the Crime Control and Prevention District, and other police personnel. Ms. Sandra Davis, a member of the Human Relations Commission, asked the Council to keep the Human Relations Department operational because it serves a vital purpose in the community. .Mr. Jim Colter said he supports the Council in making difficult decisions while bringing a sense of reality to the city's finances. He said he also supports the upcoming bond issue and other Minutes - Regular Council Meeting July 11. 2000 Page 12 solutions to help the city grow. Mr. Carlos Torres, President of the Corpus Christi Fire fighters Association. discussed the need for additional staff in the Fire Department. He asked the Council to reconsider the budget cuts to public safety. He also addressed the shortage of medical intensive care umts, and he said that while umts were fighting a brush fire in Flour Big recently, Padre Island was left unprotected. Responding to Mr. Tortes' comments, Mr. Garcia said that while staff is proposing cuts in the Police and Fire Deparlraents, he noted that the biggest expenditure increases are in those nvo budgets. Fire Chief J.J. Adame said he did not know what the coverage situation was on Padre Island during that brush fire but he would find out. Mr. Garcia explained that when an incident like that occurs, the coverage area shifts and no areus are le~ unprotected. A brief discussion ensued. Mayor Neal asked Mr. Garza to discuss the FY00-O1 budget for the outside agencies (sixth budget presentation). Utilizing a computer presentation, Mr. Garza said staff was recommending funding the outside agencies in the following amounts: Volunteer Center, $8,450; Downtown Management District, $80,073; Corpus Christi Regional Economic Development Corporation, $375,000; MHMR Center, $54,000: Asian Cultures Museum, $15,000; South Texas Institute for the Arts-Art Museum, $200,000; South Texas Institute for the Arts-Education Center, $15,000; Harbor Playhouse, $31,500; Axt Center of Corpus Christi, $15,000; arts projects, $126,500; Corpus Christi Symphony, $12,000; Jazz Festival, $7,500; Convention and Visitors Bureau, $2,088,464, for a total of $3,028,487. He said the funding is derived as follows: General Fund, $311,276; Combined Utilities, $206,247; and Hotel Occupancy Tax Fund, $2,510.964. Mayor Neal called for additional public comments on the outside agencies, Combined Utilities. and the other enterprise funds; there were no comments. The Mayor then referred to the FY00-O1 capital improvement budget (which will be discussed in detail next week). He noted that the proposed capital budget includes the following amounts: Airport - $36 million: Park and Recreation - $4.6 million; Public Facilities - $5.7 million; Public Health and Safety - $6.6 million; Streets - $20.2 million; Stormwater - $15.2 million; Wastewater - $29.1 million; Water - $22.2 million; and Gas - $3.7 million, for a total of $143,347,400. There were no comments from the public about the capital budget. Council Member Colmenero made a motion to close the public hearing, seconded by Council Member Garrett, and passed. Mayor Neal called for a brief recess. Mayor Neat called for consideration of the consent agenda (Items 4-16). City Secretary Chapa said that Item 9 was withdrawn by staff. Council members requested that Items 11 and 15 be withheld for discussion. There were no comments from the audience. Mr. Chapa polled the Council for their votes and the following were passed: Minmes - Regular Council Meeting July 11. 2000 Page 13 4.

The foregoing resolution passed by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero, Cooper, Garrett, Gonzales, Kinnison, B. Longoria, J. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye." Mayor Neat opened discussion on Item 18, Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) budget. Mr. Garza ret~rred to a memo in the City Manager's transmittal dated July 7, 2000 which responded to six budget issues raised by CVB officials during their quarterly update to the Council on June 20, 2000. During their presentation, the CVB officials requested an additional $185,000 over the contractual amount of $2,088.464. Mr. Garza said the first issue had to do with the increase in hotel/motel tax revenues. For Minutes - Regular Council Meeting July 11. 2000 Page 18 FY00-01, he said staff is projecting an increase of $101,818 (2%) over the FY99-00 estimated revenues. Regarding debt service fbr the convention center facilities, he said the debt service is funded from both hotel tax revenues and property tax revenues. Overall there is a decrease in the debt service requirement of $363.347, of which there is a decrease of $90,957 in the requirement from hotel tax revenues. Mr. Garza said staff is recommending maintaining the current level of funding for arts and cultural services in FY00-01. He said the increase of $66,098 over the current adopted budget is related to specific cultural services programs that had previously been funded from the General Fund and are now being funded out of hotel tax revenues. He also explained that the $6,980 increase in funding to the General Fund for administrative services is an expense recorded in the Visitors Facility Fund, which is a separate fund from the hotel tax revenues. The Acting Budget Director also discussed the funding structure for Memorial Coliseum and the Convention Center/Auditorium. He said the total operating shortfall for those entities is $2.37 million, which does reflect an increase in the contribution over the current year. He said several expenditures have been deferred but need to be included in next year' s budget, which he explained. Council Member Kinnison made a motion to amend Item 18 to approve the $2,088,464 contractual formula amount for the CVB budget with the caveat that the Council was insu'ucting the CVB to include the funding to the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce for the Latin marketing program in the amount of $54,000. Council Member John Longoria seconded the motion. Mayor Neat called for public comment. Mr. Abel Alonzo agreed that the CVB's funding should remain at the same level and should not be increased. Responding to Council Member Colmenero, Mr. Hal Peterson, Director of Convention Facilities, and Mr. Garza briefly explained the expenses for the coliseum. Mr. Bray noted that convention centers are authorized expenditures of the hotel tax under state law. Mr. Dave Pruett, Acting President of the Hotel/MotelYCondominium Association, suggested that the Council table this item so the association can continue to work with the City Manager' s Office regarding use of the hotel tax by the city for convention facilities and cultural services. Mr. Garcia said the association has raised this issue before and the city's position is that every activity which receives hotel tax funds is specifically authorized by the legislation and is a legal expenditure. Mr. Colmenero said the CVB is not receiving enough funding to sufficiently promote tourism for Corpus Christi. In response to Council Member Gonzaies, Mr. Garcia said the hotel tax revenues are approximately $5 million and the CVB receives approximately $2.08 million. Dr. Gonzales agreed that the hotel tax monies should be used for the CVB. ~Mr. Jim Snow. General Manager of the Omni Hotel and a member of the CVB Board, said Minutes - Regular Council Meeting July 11. 2000 Page I9 that Corpus Christi is behind other Texas cities in its funding tbr tounsm promotion. fte also commented on the CVB taking over the debt of the Columbus Fleet plaza. Dr. Gonzales commented on the funding that was provided to the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce last year for the Latin marketing program. Mr. Longofia pointed out that the CVB board opted not to fund the Latin marketing program next year. Mr. Manuel Ugues, President of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. said that last year the CVB had a four-pronged approach to the Latin marketing program--trade shows, tourism/leisure market. domestic market. and public relations. He said the proposed $54,000 would only address one of those components. Mr. Snow discussed the CVB's budget issues. Mr. Garcia and Mr. Garza responded to Council Member Garrert's questions regarding the summary of expenditures for the Hotel Occupancy Tax Fund. Council Member Betty Jean Longofia discussed the issues of the Latin marketing program and the need to maintain the convention center. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council on Mr. Kinnison's motion to amend the FY00-01 budget for the Convention and Visitors Bureau to include funding in the amount of $54,000 to continue the subcontract with the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. The motion passed by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero. Cooper, Garret't, Gonzales, Kinnison, B. Longoria. J. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye." Following additional discussion, Dr. Gonzales made a motion, seconded by Mr. Colmenero, to add $100,000 to the CVB budget for the Latin marketing program to be taken from the Convention Center/Auditorium/Coliseum line item. The motion failed to pass by the following vote: Colmenero and GonTales voting "Aye"; Neal, Cooper, Garrett, Kinnisom B. Longofia, J.

He said the Water Depat unent has reduced its operation and maintenance (O&M) costs by 16% for FY00-01 and Wastewater has reduced them by 5% (with a 16% reduction in FY99-00). Mr. Massey also discussed staffing levels: the Water Department eliminated 37 FTE's and Wastewater eliminated 32 FTE's (all vacant positions). He said their focus was to precisely define service levels and set the stage to develop employee incentive/pay programs. He said the reductions reflect a new understanding of competitive business practices and are an important first step in identifying operation and maintenance cost-saving opportunities. Mr. Massey added that further reductions are expected as continuous improvements are made to operating efficiencies and maintenance performances. Minutes - Regular Councfi Meeting July 11, 2000 Page 21 Mr. Massey said a "guiding coalition" has been established. which is comprised of a cross- section of Water and Wastewater employees. Currently the coalition is working on communication issues. employee compensation issues. and a tbrmal "competitive businesses action plan." He added that in the thll staff will present to the Council a comprehensive set of service levels and perthfinance standards and a formal competitive action plan that projects costs of operations tbr future years and incorporates future savings from capital projects. He said that plan will serve as a service agreement to deliver competitive water utility. services to the city at specific service levels and defined costs. Mayor Neal inlToduced Judge Jeff Moseley, Executive Director of the Texas Department of Economic Development.

Stevens Water Treatment Plant modernization; alternate power supply project; Southside transmission main project and pumping station; Lake Texana pipeline project; and Up River Road transmission main project. Mr. Garcia and Mr. Garafia then responded to Council members' questions. The eighth budget presentation was made by Mr. Foster Crowell, Wastewater Superintendent. He said the department' s objectives are to provide customer service, protect the environment. and maintain the city's infrastructure. He said those service levels include the following: initial response time of less than four hours to all calls received between 7 a.m. and I 1 p.m. 365 days per year: clearing services up to the property. line at no charge to customers; maintaining an aggressive odor conu'ol program; and providing high quality effluent for beneficial rense and for release to the bays and estuaries.

He described expenditure trends from FY99-00 to FY00-01. including a $2.5 million reduction in O&M costs. He noted that 32 vacant positions were eliminated. ~vhich represents the lowest staffing levels in a decade (while maintaining service levels).

She said the proposed FY00-01 Gas Depaxhnent budget, which is $26.24 million, emphasizes the maintenance and construction of the infrastructure. She said the proposed budget shows expenditures higher than revenues by $642.611, or 2.5%. She said revenues consist of the cost of service ($12.09 million) and the cost of gas ($13.5 million), which she explained. Expenditures consist of: allocations - $4.46 million; salaries - $4.26 million; operations - $3.99 million; and natural gas purchases - $13.5 million.

She said the proposed FY00-O1 budget is $8.76 million, which is approximately a 17.5% increase from the adopted FY99-00 budget. She said that is mostly due to increased allocated costs and the addition of the citywide street sweeping service and improved ~ght-ol:way mowing. In addition to those two services, the other contract programs are minor ditch grading, inlet cleaning, and household haTardous waste disposal.

He also discussed the importance of the GIS program and base map as well as the process involved in developing and improving those systems. The twelfth budget presentation was made by Mr. Pat Alba, Director of Risk Management. He explained the recent reorganization of three funds: the Internal Service insurance Fund resulted from the merger of the Internal Service Fund for Self-Insurance, the internal Service Fund for Group Health Insurance, and the General Fund for Risk Management Administration. He said the fund's proposed budget for FY00-01 is $26.26 million. consisting of Employee Benefits ($16.65 million), Liability ($8.99 million), and Administration ($617,736), all three of which he briefly reviewed. Mr. Alba said that when staff prepared the FY00-01 budget in February, they anticipated that expenditures would be $14.36 million. However. now that they have experienced several months' worth of expenditures. staff is now projecting that the expenditures for next year will be $14.73 million. a difference of $371,561, which would result in a negative fund balance. Mr. Alba said that consequently, staff proposed several options to the Council's Administrative Analysis Committee. He said staff is proposing to increase the civilian employee' s contribution for the "Employee Only" insurance premium fi'om 46 cents biweekly to $I0 biweekly. He said they are also recommending the following insurance plan design changes for civilian personnel: increasing the copay for lab visits from $3 to $10; increasing the copay for doctor' s office x-rays from $5 to $10; and establishing a $200 deductible for outpatient surgery at the hospital. He said they are also negotiating with pharmacies to try to establish a single-vendor pharmacy, which should also reduce costs. City Manager Garcia said that when the Council discussed this issue in February. 2000. they considered several ways to reduce costs. including the use ofa formulary or single vendor for prescriptions. The Council decided at that time among other things to increase the copays for prescriptions. Mr. Alba then discussed what the annual premium revenues would be trader four different scenarios: Option 1 - increasing the premium/br employees with single coverage to $10 biweekly, which would result in revenues of $222.492: Option 2 - increasing the premium/br employees with Minutes - Regular Council Meeting July 11. 2000 Page 24 single coverage to $5 biweekly for $105.882: Option 3 - increasing the premium for employees with dependents to $10 biweeldy for $564.291: and Option 4 - increasing the premium for employees with dependents to $5 biweekly for $268,541. Mayor Neal said he could not understand how staff could have miscalculated the projections since they had just made changes to the insurance program in February 2000. He said the Council was told in February that stairs projections would be good until August 2001. Mr. Alba said the Council decided to make the changes to the prescription program because staff had identified a problem with that program. He said the direction of the Council at that time was to continue to monitor the expenditures on a monthly basis and to come back to the Council with any recommended changes to the plan if they were needed. He added that the Administrative Analysis Committee has been meeting monthly to discuss insurance issues. Responding to Council Member Scott. IVh-. Garza said that in February two changes were implemented--the increased copay for prescriptions and additional discounts. He said those changes were expected to result in $125,000 of reduced expenditures per month. He said the 10% increase projected for the following year was based on those reduced expenditures, which unfortunately did not materialize. Mr. Alba explained why the expenditure reductions did not occur. He discussed the importance of having 12 months of reliable data with which to make accurate projections. Council members discussed the various options, and Mr. Garcia pointed out that any changes made would be included in the FY00-01 budget, effective August 1, 2000. Council Member Kinnison expressed concern that staff's recommendation of Option 1 would not provide sufficient revenues, particularly if health care costs and utilization continue to increase. Council Member Betty Jean Longoria said she agreed with Ivfr. Kinnison. Mr. Kinmson said the Administrative Analysis Committee was in agreement with staffs recommendation to reduce expenditures by making changes in the health care plan as previously discussed (copay changes). He then made a motion to increase the copays as discussed and to adopt Option 3 - increasing the premium for employees with dependents to $10 biweekly. The motion was seconded and it passed by the following vote: Neat, Colmenero, Cooper, Kinnison, B. Longoria, J. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye"; Carfelt and ConTales voting "No." Following a discussion, there was consensus of the Council to direct staff to prepare budget options relating to the following deparhnents (as previously discussed): Human Relations, Human Resources, Police, Libraries, Solid Waste, Parks. and Housing and Community Development. Mr. Garcia said that the first reading of the budget is scheduled for next week. Mayor Neal called for Council concerns and reports. Mr. Garrett asked about the irrigation system on Park Road 22 on Padre Island. which Mr. Tony Cisneros, Director of Park and Recreation. briefly explained. There being no further business to come before the Council, Mayor Neat adjourned the Council meeting at 8:35 p,m. on July 11, 2000. CIVIL SERVICE BOARD/COMMISSION - Two (2) vacancies.

Director of Materials Management Solid Waste Services 530190-1020-12520 Capital Outlay No. 208 FY00-01 Budgeted Funds $114,000 (lease payment) MEMORANDUM To: David Garcia. City Manager s~ Lawrence Mikolajczyk, Acting Director, Solid Waste Service Ronaid F. Massey, Assistant City Manager, Public Works & Utilities Rudy Garza, Acting Director, Management & Budget Approval for Second Life Rebuild of Unit 502. CAT Compactor model 836C. S/N 7FR239 May30,2000 On March 28, 2000, Unit 502 was badly damaged by a fire. HOLT Co. of Texas conducted an investigation and it was determined that the turbo charger ignited debris in the engine compartment and the ftte spread upward, engulfing the cab. The City of Corpus Christi completed its own investigation and the result was inconclusive. Unit 502 was purchased on August 6, 1996 and placed on a five (5) year lease purebase utilizing G. E. Capital as the lending agency. When the fire occurred effectively destroying the compactor, it had accumulated 9,898 hours, with a life expectancy of 12,500 hours. The maintenance agreement with HOLT Co. was for five (5) years or 10,000 hours and was purchased when the unit was received. Utilizing a life span of 12,500 hours, the unit was at 79.18% of its useful life at the time of the f'tre. HOLT Co. has proposed a rebuild of Unit 502 that will include a complete breakdown and rebuild of all components to HOLT CAT specifications, utilizing CAT replacement parts. This rebuild can come with a 12,500-hour maintenance agreement available, which will be purchased upon receipt of the unit. This bid will be considered a sole source for the rebuild of Unit 502. The Solid Waste Services Department had intended to purchase a new compactor in FY 00-01, however; the fire has placed us in a difficult situation. The price to rebuild the burned out compactor will cost appmximataly $299,000 (estimated), however:, this is substantially less than the purchase of a new compactor. with the lowest bid being $497,680 (submitted by ALJON). This rebnitd bid is at a subslantial discount from HOLT CAT and should other bids be required, those bidders would be purchasing their parts from CAT and therefore have to charge a higher price tag for the rebuild. The Solid Waste Services Deparanent is currently in the bid process for receiving a new compactor and the monies for this is also budgeted in the FY 00-01 budget. The new compactor has been budgeted for at $9,500 per month for a total of twelve 12 months. Rebuilding Unit 502 will effectively save $114,000 in lease payments in FY 00-01 because the new compactor will not be purchased until a later date. Rebuilding Unit 502 will also reduce the lease payments that will be paid out on the unit in FY 00-01 by an estimated $11,2.74, the difference in the amount budgeted ($113,166) and the estimated amount that will be paid out with the rebuild and refinancing ($101,892). Comparison: Totals Cost of new unit $497,680 $497,680 Cost of rebuilt unit (estimated) $299,000 Remaining balance on Unit 502 $140.200 $439,200 Monies budgeted in FY 00-01 $114,000 $113,166 Payments at interest rate of 6% $ 9,622 $ 8,491 Total payments $115,464 $101,892 6 KOCH Financial has agreed to finance the remaining thirteen (13) months (as of Sept. 1, 2000) left on the lease purchase contract with G. E. Capital and the S299,000 (estimated) to rebuild our unit. The total cost will be financed for a period of five (5) years. The future years payments will be funded utilizing the monies set-aside for a new compactor. I am requesting approval f'or authorization to rebuild Unit 502 as soon as possible. HOLT Co. is currently providing a bulldozer at a discounted rate to help with the workload at the landfill. Approval: _,~/'~""=~'s, Ronald F.

ATTEST: THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTi Armando Chapa City Secretary APPROVED: 13th day of July, 2000. James R. Bray Jr., City Attomey By: FR~jr~ttorney Samuel L. Neal, Jr. Mayor R03321A1.doc 81 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMORANDUM July 13, 2000 AGENDA ITEM: Resolution of the City Council of the City of Corpus Chdsti, Texas approving the Issuance of $5,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of City of San Antonio, Texas, Higher Education Authority, Inc~ Education Revenue Bonds (Dr. Maria Luisa Garza Academy of Transitional Studies Charter School Project), Series 2000 by the City of San Antonio, Texas, Higher Education Authority, Inc. for the Dr. Maria Luisa Garza Academy of Transitional Studies Charter School located in the City of Corpus Christi, Texas. ISSUE: Under State law, higher education authorities can issue financing for educational facilities, including charter schools, outside the City limits of the issuing unit, but only with the approval of the City Council in which the facility will be located. The Dr. Maria Luisa Garza Academy of Transitional Studies Charter School Project has asked the City of San Antonio, Texas, Higher Education Authority, Inc. to issue $5 million in education revenue bonds for the local charter school project (to be located on the comer of Greenwood Drive and Home Road). In order for the San Antonio organization to issue the bonds, the Corpus Christi City Council must give its approval. Budc~et Consideration: The issuance of the bonds by the San Antonio Authority would create absolutely no liability or indebtedness on the part of the City of Corpus Christi. RECOMMENDATION: City staff recommends the City Council approve a resolution approving the issuance of bonds to assist the charter school. W. Thomas Utter Assistant City Manager 83 BACKGROUNDINFORMATION The Gulf Coast Council of La Raza is proposing to construct a charter school known as the Dr. Mafia Luisa Garza Academy of Transitional Studies Charter School on 8.1 acres of land located on the southwest comer of Greenwood Drive and Home Road. The school will include approximately 56,000 square feet inclusive of seven classrooms, administrative offices, library, technology center, gymnasium, cafetorium and preschool facilities. In addition, a parking area and landscaping improvements are included. The capacity of the facility is 540 with the charter school planning not to have more than 450 students in order to have a lower teacher-student ratio. The charter school is proposed to provide facilities for the at- dsk students, which the Gulf Coast Council of La Raza currently serve with their shelter and other programs. The school would be funded partially through a bond issue through the City of San Antonio, Higher Education Authority, Inc. in the amount of $5 million. In order for that organization to issue bonds under State law, the City Council of the City of Corpus Christi must grant its approval. We recommend the Council pass such a resolution. The bond counsel for the proposed issue is McCall, Parkhurst & Horton and we have discussed the issue with them extensively. There is absolutely no liability to be incurred by the City of Corpus Christi in garnting its approval. I have attached a copy of the proposed resolution. 84 RESOLUTION APPROVING TI-IE ISSUANCE OF $5,000,000 IN AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF CITY OF SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, HIGHER EDUCATION AUTHORITY, INC.

ISSUE: The Telecommunications Infrastructure Fund Board is a state program created by the Texas Legislature in 1995. TIFB's specific charge is to help develop the teleeommurtications infrastructure that connect certain public entities - public schools, public libraries, two and four year colleges and universities, and the public health delivery system - to the state's emerging statewide telecommurticatious network. In 1999 the Corpus Christi Public Libraries was awarded a TIFB grant in the mount of $109,000 for teclmology. The grant ended June 30, 2000. The grant provided for the purchase of 46 public access computers along with network equipment and printers. The library is now eligible for a TIFB grant for an amount up to $180,000. The library must provide a 10% patch as paxt of the overall total. The Corpus Christi Public Library Foundation has committed the 10% match from its technology fund. As previously reported, the Library Foundation raised over $600,000 in private contributions and a federal grant to establish the Library Information Network of Corpus Christi (LINCC), which links the public libraries with city high schools. If awarded, grant funds will be used for allowable expenses, such as purchase of public access computers and network equipment, cabling and installation, and training.

ISSUE: Speed limit revisions are necessary to reflect changes in abutting land uses, traffic congestion, traffic accident experience, roadway improvements or physical changes warranting higher or lower speed limits, and changes in predominantly used travel speeds by motorists on particular road sections. RECOMMENDATION: above. Staff recommends approval of the proposed ordinance as outlined ADDITIONAL SUPPORT MATERIAL Background Information Exhibit "A" - Cimmaron Boulevard Exhibit "B"- Northwest Boulevard Exhibit "C" - Leopard Street Exhibit "D1" and "D2" - McKinzie Road Ordinance AgMemHol2.spL (Speed Limit Revisions on Va~ous Streets, Page 1 of 3) 92 AGENDA MEMORANDUM Additional Background Information Background Information Methodology for Setting Speed Limits on Streets: The procedures used to set speed limits on urban streets are the result of years of research and experience in the urban street business. Like most cities, the Traffic Engineering staff uses what is known as the "85th percentile speed" to set speed limits. The "85th percentlie speed" is the speed at which 85% of motorists, determined through a detailed traffic engineering spot speed analysis on a street, are driving at or below. Two key assumptions in use of the 85th percentlie method of selecting speed limits, also backed up by years of research, are that (1) 15% of drivers tend of drive at an unreasonably high, unsafe speed and (2) that a strong majority (70%) of drivers travel at a speed between the measured "median speed" and the "85th percentlie speed". Historically, speed limits set at the sampled 85th percentlie speed of a street typically result in the fewest number of traffic speed violations. Cimmaron Boulevard (EXHIBIT A): Cimmaron Boulevard is beginning to carry steadily increasing volume of traffic destined to and from the abutting Bear Creek, Kings Crossing, and Brighton Village Subdivisions. The speed limits transitioning between 35 and 45 MPH on this street have been in place for a number of years and are compatible with the abutting residential areas. However, the opening of the new Mireles Elementary School at the Cimmaron / Bison intersection will require a speed limit reduction from 40 MPH to 35 MPH to allow safer traffic controls within the new school zone being placed approaching and immediately abutting the new school. The recommended 35 MPH speed limit will allow a school zone speed limit reduction of 20 MPH, conistent with the school zone speed limits provided for other elementary schools along major streets. Northwest Boulevard (EXHIBIT B): The first part of the recommended speed limit revisions - - i.e., from 50 MPH to 45 MPH - - is relatively small in scope, affecting only a section of street just less than 1,000-ff in length. However, this is an important change in order to conform the street speed limit to the existing school zone for Calallen High School. That is, the existing regular posted speed limit changes from 45 MPH to 50 MPH within the current school zone. Having a regular posted speed limit at the lower 45 MPH within the total length of the school zone will eliminate confusion and provide for safer travel speeds during school zone hours. The Texas Department of Transportation concurs with the recommended speed limit revisions. The second part of the recommended speed limit revisions on Northwest Boulevard - - i.e., 60 MPH from East Riverview Drive to the west city limits - - is not a revision from the current speed limit along this section. This 60 mph speed limit section is not presently included in the City's Code of Ordinances, but has been maintained by the Texas Department of Transportation for a number of previous years. The reason for this oversight most likely was caused by confusion over the location of the west city limits, which at one time was located at East Riverview Drive. Leopard Street (Exhibit C): The City's Traffic Engineering Office has performed an updated speed limit study on the section of Leopard Street between Rehfeld Road and U.S. Highway 77 at the request of Justice of the Peace 93 (Speed Limit Revisions on Various Streets. Page 2 Of 3) (Leopard Street, continued) (Precinct 6, Place 2) James D. Stivors. Justice of the Peace Stivors has been receving complaints from area residents and other motorists using this street that the existing 35 MPH speed limit between Rehfeld Road and the Southern Pacific Railroad Crossing is too low related to the improved roadway condition. The traffic engineering study supported this claim. The recommended increase to 40 MPH is also consistent with the existing 40 MPH speed limit on the section of Leopard between the raitroad crossing and U.S. Highway 77 (Five Points Intersection). McKinzie Road (FM 3386) (Exhibit "D"): McKinzie Road, following the street widening improvements between Interstate 37 and Haven Drive a few years ago, has been experiencing increasing traffic volumes and through traffic flow between Interstate 37 and Agnes Street. Subsequently, there have been a number of complaints from motorists that the existing speed limits are unrealistically tow with requests to increase the speed limit. A study by the Texas Department of Transportation has resulted in the recommendation of the higher speed limits shown on Exhibit D. The City's Traffic Engineering Office concurs with TxDOT's recommended speed limit revisions. · PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: The most recent Council actions related to these streets' speed limits are: · Established 40 MPH speed limit on Cimmaron Boulevard between Yorktown Boulevard and the south dead end of Cimmaron (05-99) · Reduced speed limits and speed limit boundaries along portions of Northwest Boulevard (F.M. 624) between U.S. 77 and west City Limits (05-95) · Established 35 MPH speed limit on Leopard Street between Rehfeld Road and Souther Pacific Railroad crossing (12-90) · Established current speed limits on McKinzie Road (08-84) BOARD / COMMITTEE REVIEW: The Transportation Advisory Committee has reviewed these Staff recommendations and voted unanimously to recommend City Council approval.

Purnose of Request: To eliminate the minimum 10,000 square foot minimum lot size requirement and modify the 100' lot width reqttirement Background: On February 8, 2000 the City Council approved a new zoning district called the "B-IA" Neighborhood Business District designed to implement the Gardendale Plan Recommendations. The new dislrict allows for a wide variety of commercial and service uses, however the thslrict contains a number of neighborhood "friendly" requirements that reduce the negative impact on adjacent residential properties. These neighborhood "friendly" requirements include: Limitation on business hours from 6:30 a.rn. to 10:00 p.m_ Landscaping along the rear property line to soften the commercial residential edge by creating a tree canopy between commercial and residential uses. Street trees required at 30-foot centers in the front yard. Off-street loading and unloading areas, and restaurant grease traps, serving areas, or kitchens must be setback at least 50 feet from any adjacent residential district. Excluded uses include pawnshops, liquor stores, and fueling. Summary: The district includes a 10,000 square foot lot size minimum and 100' feet of frontage requirement. The proposed amendment would eliminate the minimum lot size and modify the lot frontage requirements of the District. The lot frontage requirement would be changed to require 100' feet of frontage of "B-IA" District or 100' feet "...in combination with an abutting non-residential (commercial) district...' This change will allow the "B-IA" District to be applied to the Williarns Drive area without the need to replat properties into larger lots. The change will also make the Dislrict easier to use many other areas of town where the typical lot size is 6,000 square feet with 60' of frontage. Fh~lly, this change will discourage the creation of "islands" of commercial use in residential areas, by encouraging the district to be used in combination with abutting commercial districts. ~~'g,'AICP ~ Director of planning MG/MS/er Attachments: 1) PIning Cormmssion Minutes Pages 2-3 2) Ordinance Pages 4-7 H:XPLN-DIR\ERMA\WORD~AGENDMEM~B-1AAGENDAMEMO.DOC 104 planning Comnltssion Minutes May 10, 2000 PRESENTATIONS - Gardendale Rezoning Initiative and Amendment to "B-IA' District Mr. Saidaria, City Planner, stated that after review of the "BolA" District and the City initiated zoning for the area, it was discovered that certain lots in the Gardendale area would not meet the requirements for rezomng to "B-1A" Dislrict. There are several properties that have less than the required 10,000 square feet of lot area and 150 feet of street frontage. The amendment will reduce the street fxontage feet from 100 feet to 60 feet and eliminate the miulnmm lot size area. Mr. Saidaria stated that although an amendment is necessary, the "B-1A" District's . performance standards are adequate to protect the adjacent area. Staff is currently processing information to hold the public hearing regarding the rezoning of Gardendale which is tentatively scheduled for May 24, 2000. After discussion regarding scheduling dates for the pubhc hearing regarding the rezoning for Gardendale, the Comrmssion decided to hold the public hearing on June 7, 2000. Commissioner Underbrink stated that during discussions regarding the "B-1A" District, it was decided that that the district would encourage larger tract development. Mr. Gunning explained that during city initiation of the district every individual lot would be required to have 100 feet of fxontage. Mr. Salda~a stated that the intent was to have the lot available for development but as writtan in the ordinance the apphcant would need their neighbor's property in order to develop the property. Cornnussioner Berlanga suggested that Staff review the minutes and the tape of the planning Cornmission meeting to determine the intent of the Conmdssion regarding minimum lot sizes. Cormmssioner Underbrink stated that he did not want 60 feet as a minimura lot width for "B-1A" District and requested examples for implementation of the district in other areas. Commissioner Richter stated that she did not feel that the minirntnn lot requirelrtent was necessary and asked Staff to identify the "B-IA" District and define the areas that could utilize die "B-1A" District. Comrmssioner Sween-McGloin stated that the miniretort lot size was not necessary. Comn'nssioner Underbrink suggested that proposed changes to the amendments need to be addressed when building official was present, to which Mr. Gunning responded that Building officials were present at every Staff meeting during discussions regarding the "B-IA" District and Gardendale issues. planning Comrmssion Minutes June 7, 2000 Text Amendments to Article 12 "B-tA" Neighborhood Business District and Article 24, Height, Area, and Bulk Requirements Proposed Text Amendments to Article 12A, "B-IA' Neighborhood Business District Regulations and Article 24, Height, Area and Bulk Requirements (Tabled May 24, 2000) Mr. Gunnlvlg stated that Staff had proposed to reduce the mmixnum lot width requirement from 100 feet to 60 feet and to eliminate the 10,000 square foot minimum lot size requirement. He continued that since the "B-1A" Neighborhood Business District was intended to be used on Williarns Drive and on Holly Road or anywhere adjacent residential uses are a concern this provision should be changed. However after further review, Staff is proposing to eliminate the lot width and miramum lot area and also recommending a text change that requires 100 feet of non-residenlial frontage along a collector, arterial, or freeway in order to maintain the intent of creating a "dislrict area" requirement. Commercial districts do not have a minimum lot width or requirements. Chairman Underbrink opened the public heating. Ray Reyes, 4925 Willjams Drive, stated that he understood that obstacles were being developed to prohibit business from developing along Willrams Drive. Mr. Reyes stated that he was opposed to any type of zoning ehanSe to Williarm Drive. Iv'ft. Gunning stated that the recommendation was to create more range in development for residents developing property on the north side of Holly Road. He said that that the "B-1A" Dislrict was designed to accommodate future needs in the Gardendale area and other sections of the city. Linda Benavidez, 4929 Williams, stated that she owns property and resides on William~ Drive. Ms. Benavidez expressed concern with the increased traffic in the area due to business development. She also expressed concern with property not having a minimum lot with when residential properties in the area are required to have a 60-foot lot width. Public hearingwas closed. Motion by Cheek seconded by Kelly, to approve Staff's recommendation. Motion passed unammously with Richter and Sween-McGloin being absent. 106 ~ AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE BY REVISING ARTICLE 12A.

FIRST READING: July 11,2000 Passed: 5- 0 (4:absent) FINAL READING: July 18, 2000 COMMENTS: 111 AGENDA MEMORANDUM PUBLIC HEARING - ZONING (City Council Action Date: July 11, 2000) Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment: An amendment to Article 31, Newly Annexed Territor/, in order to make the City's Zoning Ordinance consistent with State law requirements for property owner notification for zoning of property following annexation. Planning Commission and Staff's Recommendation (06/07/00): Approval Requested Council Action: Approval of the amendment to Article 31 and adoption of the attached ordinance. Purpose of Request: To make local ordinances consistent w~th State Law regarding zoning of newly annexed properties. Background: During the 1999 Annexation Program, the City mailed an estimated 3,300 notices (three separate notices - 1 annexation notice; 2 zoning notices) to approximately 1,100 property owners in the areas proposed for annexation and zoning and to property owners within 200 feet. The proposed amendment to Article 31 reduces the notification to the publication of a notice in the local newspaper (Caller-Times) 15 days prior to the public hearing. In 1996, Article 31 was amended to zone newly annexed properties to a "F-R" Farm-Rural District and referenced Article 30 to require public notification of the zoning hearings. Prior to the 1996 amendment, newly annexed properties were zoned a "R-1B' One-family Dwelling Dis~ict. There were no requirements for notification of individual property owners. With the amendment to Article 31 in 1996, the City inadvertently obligated itself to the notification requirements of Article 30, written notification to the individual property owners within the newly annexed territory and owners of properties within 200 feet. The proposed amendment to Article 31 eliminates the individual property owner notification for the initial zoning of newly annexed territories. The amendment will require publication of the zoning notice in a general circulation newspaper 15 days prior to the public hearings. In the annexation notice to property owners, Staff will add a statement advising of the date and time of the zoning public hearing. The proposed change makes the Zoning Ordinance consistent with State Law and substantially reduces the City's written notification costs during the annexation and zoning process. ~ Director of Planning MG/MS/er Attachments: 1 ) Planning Commission Minutes Pages 2-3 2) Ordinance Pages 4-6 H:XPLN-DIRXERMA\WORDXAGENDMEMXART31AGENDAMEMO.DOC 112 Planning Comnussion Minutes May 24, 2000 Discussion of Text Amendments to Article 31, Newly Annexed Territory Mr. Gunning provided a brief history of the ordinance by stating that when any property is considered for annexation a public hearing is required. State law dictates the public hearing process. The previous annexation notification process included mailing notices regarding annexation of property to individual property owners. The property considered for annexation consisted of several condomimums which include several thousand property owners. The property owners also received notiification of zoning consideration for the property to be annexed from the Planning Department as well as the City Secretary's office. Mr. Gunning requested that consideration of the amendment to Article 31, Newly Annexed Territory be considered at the June 7, 2000 planning Comnussion meeting. 113 ~ Planning Comnnssion Minutes Jane 7, 2000 Text Amendment to Article 30, Newly Annexed Terntory Proposed Text Amendment to Article 31, Newly Annexed Territory Mr. G.nning stated that an amendment to Article 31, Newly Annexed Territory, is proposed in order to reduce time and cost on advertisement. Currently, this article required individual notification to subject property owners and to property owners within 200 feet located within the City limits. During the annexation process, the owners of property to be annexed are notified of the annexation and its public hearing schedule. Therefore, die individual owners are already aware of the public hearings and additional notification is not required. The proposed amendment would not require individual notification, only an advertisement in the local newspaper once, "before die 15~h day before the date of the public hearing". This advertisement is in compliance with State law and would be a cost saving measure. Mr. G.nning stated that he researched the idea of combining the annexation and zoning letters, but has not discussed the idea with the Legal Department. Chairm~n Underbrink opened the public hearing. No one appeared in favor or opposition. Public hearing was closed. Motion by Berlanga, seconded by Mires, to approve Staffs recommendation. Motion passed unanimously with Richter and Sween-McGloin being absent. 114 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE ZONING ORDINANCE BY REVISING ARTICLE 31 NEWLY ANNEXED TERRITORY BY AMENDING SECTION 31-1 BY REQUIRING NOTICE BY PUBLICATION BEFORE THE 15TM DAY BEFORE THE DATE OF HEARING; PROVIDING FOR SEVERANCE; AND PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION.

Page 3 Recent Surrounding Zoning Cases: There has been no mzoning activity in the area within the past five (5) years. Zoning Inventoff: The subject property is a part of a 719.23-acre area zoned an "R-1B" District that is predominanfiy farmland. Adjacent to the north, there are 9.92 acres of land zoned an "R-2" District that is undeveloped except for a cellular tower located at the northeast comer. Adjacent to the "R-2" District, there are 172.41 acres zoned a "B-4" District that extends north along S. Staples Street to Saratoga Boulevard. This area is developed with a church and retail uses closer to Saratoga Boulevard. North and west of the subject property, there are two (2) areas zoned an "A-2" District that contain 20.62 acres and 13.29 acres, respectively. The area to the north remains undeveloped and the area to the west is developed with an apartment complex. South of the "A-2" District, there are 6.71 acres oftundeveloped land zoned a "B-I" Dislrict. Planning Staff Analvsis: General Characteristics and Background: The applicant has requested a change of zoning from an "R-1B" One-family Dwelling District to an "A-I" Apartment House District in order to develop a 21 6-uuit apartment complex. Primary access to the subject property is planned from South Staples Street, an arterial. The subject property is located in an area that is recommended to develop with general commercial uses along South Staples Street and medium-density residential development to the east. The proposed development is consistent with the adopted Southside Area Development Plan. Given the number of apartmere units proposed and the potential traffic increases, Staff recommended that provisions be made for a second access with the improvement of Coanty Road 26A (Timbergate) a planned collector, from the east end of the subject property out to South Staples Street. The applicant has verbally agreed to construct a half-street construction along the subject property's south property line to South Staples Street. Traffic Engineering supports the half-street construction of the collector street, which can provide adequate pavement width for 2-way traffic. Construction plans and the construction of the north half of County Road 26A will be required during the platting phase of the project. Staff supports the request for the "A-I" District, which is consistent with the adopted Southside Area Development Plan. Conformity to the Comnrehensive Plan and Land Use Comnatibilitv: Overall, the Comprehensive Plan Elements can be supportive of the requested "A-I" District. The Southside Area Development Plan's future land use map recommends the area to develop with medium-density residential. The requested "A-I" District and the proposed 216-unit apartment complex are consistent with the Plan's recommended land use. 122 ~ Zoning Report Case No. 0600-01 (Vestcor Fund XXIV, Ltd.) Page 4 Potential Housing Density: The "R-1B" District permits a density of 7.26 dwelling units per acre or 108 units on the subject property. An "A-1" District permits 21.78 dwelling units per acre or 326 units on the subject property. The proposed 216-unit apartment complex will have a density of 14.4 dwelling units per acre. This density is equivalent to that of the "Ro2" Multil~le Dwelling District. Height/Bulk/Setbacks/Etc.: The "R-IB" District requires a from yard setback of 25 feet with a side and rear yard setback of five (5) feet each. An "A-I" District requires a front yard setback of twenty (20) feet with a side and rear yard setback for multiple-family development often (I0) feet on one story buildings plus an additional five (5) for each additional story. Building heights are limited to 35 feet not to exceed three (3) stories in the "R-1B" District and 45 feet not to exceed three (3) stories in the "A-i" District. Signage: Signs in the "R-1B" District are limited to one wall sign with an area not to exceed one square foot. Since the subject property has more than 100 feet of street frontage, the "A-I" District will allow either one wall sign or one freestanding sign with an area not to exceed forty (40) square feet. The freestanding sign must be set back at least ten (10) feet from the property line and is limited to a height often (10) feet. Traffic: The proposed 216-unit apartment complex can generate approximately 1,398 daily trip ends that can be handled by the adjacent arterial street, South Staples Street. However, the proposed one access point would not be adequate to handle the traffic. Therefore, a second access point must be provided. Tmffm Engineering has recommended and the applicant has agreed the half-street construction of County Road 26A from the subject pmperty to South Staples Street. This proposed improvement will provide the needed second access point. Parkinv_JScreenin2: A dwelling unit is required to provide 1.5 off-street parking spaces for each one-bedroom unit and two (2) off-street parking spaces for each unit containing two (2) bedrooms or more. Compliance with the off-street parking regulations will be required during the permitting phase of the development. A standard screening fence is not required for residential development. Costs to City: Improvements to County Road 26A and extension of water and wastewater lines will be at the developer's expense. There are no anticipated costs to the City. Platting: The subject property consists of portions of lots which will be required to be platted to comply with the Platting Ordinance. It is during the platting phase that the half-street construction of County Road 26A and other necessary infrastructure will be required. 123 Zoning Report Case No. 0600-01 (Vestcor Fund XXIV, Ltd.) Page 5 Pros: (Ideas in support of the request.) The subject property has direct access to an arterial without traversing a low-density residential ~rea. b) The requested "A-I" District is consistera with the Southside Area Development Plan's recommended land use.

DOC 124 MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: DATE: Miguel Saldana, City Planner III Walter Jarfin, Engineer IIC~ 'June 1, 2000 SUBJECT: Zoning Case 06000-01 Apartment Complex-Access/Traffic Impact Analysis Following is a Traffic analysis and recommendations on the proposed re-zoning of the subject parcel to construct 216 apartment units. The 216 apartment units will add approximately 1400 trip-ends per day to the adjacent street network. This equates to 700 trips from and 700 trips into the proposed apartment complex. However, the extreme ranges oftrip-ends generated may be as low as 432 trip-ends or as high as 2,592 trip-ends. Although the existing capacity of South Staples Street is sufficient to accommodate this additional traffic volume, the City' s concern is the potential number of left turns to South Staples from the proposed driveway access. South Staples Street has a 50- mile per hour speed limit within the proposed development area. The City's other main concern is the need to provide a secondary access for emergency response vehicles. The City's Police Department and Fire Department have express concerns of not being able to respond in a rapid and efficient manner if only one access point is provided. Recommended options: Option 1. Provide a secondary access via Timbergate Drive which will require a 1/2 street construction. Please see attached recommended 1/2 street cross-section. Option 2. Build Timbergate Drive to comply with City's Master Transportation Plan, ie, a 40-ft back-to-back street on a 60-ft. Right-of-way with curb, gutter and sidewalks on both sides of the street and have two accesses points to Timbergate Drive. This option will provide improved traffic control at the intersection of South Staples and Timbergate Drive since the City plans to signalize this intersection early in the year 2001. Xc: D.

Planning Commission Minutes June 7, 2000 Vestcor Fund, XXIV, Ltd: 0600-01 REQUEST: "R-IB" One-family Dwelling District to "A-I" Apartment House District on Flour Bluff and Encinal Farm and Garden Tracts, Section 11, 15 acres out of Lots 14, 15, 16A, 16B and 16 and located on the east side of South Staples Street, approximately 1,800 feet south of Saratoga Boulevard. Mr. Saldatla presented a slide illustration of the subject property and the surrounding area. Mr. Saidaria stated that the subject property is part of a 719.23 acre area zoned an "R-1B" District that is predominantly farmland. Adjacent to the north, there are 9.92 acres of land zoned an "K-2" District that is undeveloped except for a cellular tower located at the northeast comer. Adjacent to the "K-2" District, there are 172.41 acres zoned a "B.-4" District that extends north along S. Staples Street to Saratoga Boulevard. This area is developed with a church and retail uses closer to Saratoga Boulevard. North and west of the subject property, there are two (2) areas zoned an "A-2" District that contain 20.62 acres and 13.29 acres, respectively. The area to the north remains undeveloped and the area to the west is developed with an apartment complex. South of the "A-2" District, there are 6.71 acres of undeveloped land zoned a "B-1" District. The applicant requested a change of zoning in order to develop a 216-unit apartment complex. Primary access to the subject property is planned from South Staples Street, an arterial. The subject property is in an area that is recommended to develop with general commercial uses along South Staples Street and medium-density residential development east of South Staples Street. The proposed development is consistent with the planned development of the area. However, as originally planned,, the apartment complex would only have one access point. Given the number of units planned and the potential traffic increase, Staff has recommended that provisions be made for a second access point. In cooperation with Traffic Engineering, Staff has indicated that the most appropriate point for a second access as being the improvement of County Road 26A (Timbergate) a planned collector, ~'om the east end of the subject property out to South Staples Street. The applicant has verbally agreed to construct a half- street construction along the subject property's south property line to South Staples Street. Cortslruction plans and the construction of the north half of County Road 26A will be required during the platting phase of the project. Mr. Saidaria stated that the subject property is within the Southside Area Development Plan, which recommends the area to develop with medium-density residential. The requested "A-I" District and the proposed 216-unit apartment complex are consistent with the Plan's recommended land use. Therefore, Staff recommends approval. There were seven (7) notices mailed to property owners within a 200-foot radius of the subject property of which one (1) was returned in favor; the owner of the subject properly retomed one (1) in favor; and none were returned in opposition. Chairman Underbrink opened the public hearing. Steve Roberrs, 321 Wilshire Place, representing Vestcor, distributed photographs of the proposed development. Mr. Roberts stated that the complex will include 216 units in nine (9) buildings and will provide affordable housing according to the Social Services Program guidelines. In response to Commissioner Berlanga's question regarding a traffic signal at the intersection of Timbergate and South Staples Street, Mr. Saidaria answered that a traffic signal for the intersection is planned for early next year. Public hearing was closed. Motion by Kelly, seconded by Mims. to approve the rezoning request. Motion passed unanimously with Richter and Sween-McGIoin being absem.

EXHIBIT "A' 135 - /; ~ - AGENDA MEMORANDUM PUBLIC HEARING - ZONING (City council Action Date: July 18, 2000) Case No. 0600-03, Mission Lake Estates, Inc.: A change of zoning from an "R-1B" One-family Dwelling District and "A-I" Apartment House District to an "RE" residential Estate District on Flour Bluff and Encinal Farm and Garden Tracts, Section 41, a portion of Lots 12 through 17, located on the west side of Flottr Bluff Drive, approximately 800 feet south of Graham Road. Planning Commission and Staffs Recommendation (06/07/00): Approval. Requested Council Action: Approval of the "RE" District and adoption of the attached ordinance. PurnoseofRec~uest: To deveinp a large lot subdivision with rurat street sections. Summary: The applicant has requested a change of zoning from an "R-1B' One-family Dwelling District and an "A-1" Apartment House District to an "RE" Rasidential-Estate District in order to develop a large-lot subdivision. The proposed subdivision, La Cantera Estates, contains 31 single-family residential lots, thereby reducing the residential density from 7.62 units per acre allowed under the current "R-1B" District to I unit per acre under the "RE" District. Primar~ access to the subdivision will be from Flour Bluff Drive, an arterial. The "RE" density is more appropriate for an area in proximity to a large body of water and is consistent with the existing residential pattern adjacent to the north. Although large lot developments can be constructed within the existing "R-1B" District, the road improvements would require curbs, garters and sidewalks. An "RE" District allows a rural street section with open ditches for drainage and no sidewalks. There is a closed landfill on the subjec~ property which was noted on the approved preliminary plat. The closed landfill is located south the proposed easUwest road, approximately 1,100 feet south of Graham Road and approximately 100 feet west of Flour Bluff Drive. The applicant employed an environmental engineer to address environmental issues with TNR. CC and the City during the construction phase. The requested "RE" District is consistent with the adopted Flour Bluff Area Development Plan. Annlicant's Position: The applicant concurs with Plan~ing Commission and Staff's recommendation. Notification: Prior to the date of this memorandum, seventeen (1) notices were mailed to the property owners within a 200-foot radius, of which none were rerarned in favor or in opposition. The subject property owner submitted a letter in favor. The 20% rule is not in effect. ~ Michael N.

The "RE" density is more appropriate lbr an area in proximity to a large body of water und is consistent with the existing residential pattern adjacent to the north. Although large lot developments can be constructed within the existing "R-I B' District, the road improvements would require curbs. gutters and sidewalks. An "RE" District allows a rural street section with open ditches for drainage and no sidewalks. There is a closed lundfill on the subject properrS.' which was noted on the approved preliminary plat. The closed landfill is located south the proposed east/west road. approximately 1,I00 feet south of Graham Road and approximately 100 feet west of Flour Bluff Drive. The applicant employed an environmental engineer to address environmental issues with TNRCC and the 140 Zoning Repor~ Case No. 0600-03 (Mission Lake Estates. Inc.) Page 4 CiD' during the construction phase. The requested "RE" District is consistent with the adopted Flour Bluff Area Development Plan. Conformity to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Compatibilitv: Overall, the Comprehensive Plan elements and Flour Bluff Area Development Plan' s adopted future land use map recommends the area to develop with lo~v-density residential development. The requested "RE" District is consistent with the Plan's recommended land use. Potential Housin~ Densit'v: Residential development in the "R-1B" District is permitted at a density of 7.26 dwelling units per acre or 317 unit on 43.781 acres of the subject property. An "A-I" District permits a density of 2 1.78 dwelling units per acre or 49 unit on 2.269 acres of the subject property. The requested "RE" District permits a density of one dwelling unit per acre or 46 units on the subject propeR'. As proposed. the 31 dwelling units would equal a density of 0.673 unit per acre. The change of zoning will reduce the number of units permitted on the area and thereby reducing the number of vehicle trips. Height/Bulk/Setbacks/Etc.: An "R-1B" District requires a front yard of 25 feet with a side and rear yard of five (5) feet each. The "A-I" District requires a front yard setback of twenty (20) feet with a side and rear yard of five (5) feet each for single-family and duplex uses, or ten (10) feet each for the first floor of a multiple-family use plus an additional five (5) feet for each additional floor. The "RE" District requires a front yard setback offlily. (50) feet xvith a side and rear yard of 25 feet each. Both the "R-1B" and "RE" Districts limit the building height to 35 feet not to exceed three (3) stories. Building heights in the "A-I" District are limited to 45 feet not to exceed three (3) stories. Signage: Signs are not permitted in the "RE" District. One ~vall sign with an area not to exceed one square foot is permitted in the "R-1B" District. Since the subject property has more than 100 feet of street frontage. the "A-I" District ~vill allow either one wail sign or one freestanding sign ~vith an area not to exceed forty (40) square feet. The freestanding sign must be set back at least ten (10) feet from the propert,:' line and is limited to a height often (10) feet. Traffic: The proposed 31 -unit single-family development will generate approximately 310 daily trip ends. These trip ends will access Flour Bluff Drive, an arterial, and will have a minimal impact on the adjacent street system. As part of the infrastructure improvements, the applicant will provide an 8-foot wide caliche-based road within the existing fight-of-way of Hutsell Road. This caliche-based road would provide access from Graham Road to the subject propera.,. 141 Zoning Report Case No. 0600-03 ( Mission Lake Estates. Inc. ) Page 5 Parkinz~Screening: Residential uses are required to provide 1.5 off-street parking spaces fo.~ one-bedroom units or two (2) parking spaces for each unit containing two (2) bedroom; more. Compliance with the parking regulations will be required during the permitting phase of the project. A standard screening fence is not required for residential development. Costs to City: The development of the subdivision will require the improvements to be done by the developer. Maintenance of the caliche-based road would require City participation. Flour Bluff Drive is not improved to its ultimate pavement width which may require City. funding for its improvements. Platting: A preliminary, plat of the proposed subdivision has been approved with fmal plats to follow. Pros: (Ideas in support of the request.) a) The requested "RE" District will reduce the potential number of residential units in the area which is more consistent with development in proximity to large bodies of water. b) The requested "RE" District is consistent with the Flour Bluff Area Development Plan's adopted future land use map. Cons: (Ideas in support of maintaining the current zoning.) a) None.

Section 4 I. 46 acres out of Lots 12 - 1 ';. and located on the web. side of Flour Bluff Drive. approximately 800 feet south of Graham Road. Mr. Saidaria presented a slide illustration of the subject propertj.' and the surrounding area. The west side of the subject property is part of a 1.022.64-acre area is zoned an "R-1B" District. A lage portion of this area is under ~ater. The remaining acreage of this "R-1B" District remains undeveloped. The bulk of the single-family residences are adjacent to the north of the subject property.. East side of the subject properr>.' is part of 70.32 acres of land zoned "A-I" District which remains predominantly undeveloped. North of the "R-1B" zoned area. there are 82.09 acres zoned an "RE" District which remain undeveloped. Northeast of the subject property., there are 356.0l acres of land zoned "B-3" District that extends north to South Padre Island Drive where the bulk of the development is located. North of the subject property.. there are 2.35 acres of land zoned "RE" District and 4.78 acres of land zoned "F-R" District. Both of these tracts remain undeveloped. A 1.83-acre tract of land north of the subject properE,.' is zoned a "B-l" District and developed ~dth a church. South of the subject properrS.'. there are 15.30 acres of"A-2" District. 19.92 acres of"A-1" District and 44.86 acres of"R-2" District that all remain undeveloped. The applicant requested a change of zoning in order to develop a large-lot subdivision. The proposed subdivision. La Cantera Estates. contains 31 single-family residential lots. thereby reducing the residential density from 7.26 units per acre to 1 unit per acre. Primary. access to the subdivision will be from Flour Bluff Drive. an arterial. Although large lot developments can be constructed within the existing "R-1B" District, the road improvements would require curb. gutters. and sidewalks. An "RE" District allows a rurat street section with ditches for drainage and no sidewalks. Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request. There ~vere 17 notices mailed to property owners within a 200-foot radius of which none were returned in favor or opposition. Chairman Underbrink opened the public hearing. John Bell. 13750 Primavera, representing the applicant. stated that the applicant's plans include building a home for themselves on the subject property.. Mr. Bell continued that rezoning would make the area less dense and more desirable. There are many developments in Flour Bluff that are zoned "RE" District. Mr. Bell continued that the applicants have met with the TNRCC and samples of the soil have been tested. The results of the tests have indicated that there are not any hazardous chemicals. which xxas a concern due to the fact that the property. was formerly a landfill. Mr. Bell continued that the Civ:' of Corpus Christi's Director of Environmental Services. Mr. Kim McGuire. also had an opportunity to review the report and did not object to the development proceeding as scheduled. Mr. Bell stated that the hazardous chemical issue concern was focused on a certain portion of the property and the remainder of the propenN. was not a problem. [n response to Commissioner Mim's question regarding water, Mr. Bell answered that the residents would be on a septic tank system or other water treatment system. Mr. Kim McGuire. Director of Environmental Services. stated that he cautioned the development. but continued that he promoted development as a ~hole. Mr. McGuire continued that the owners will continue to move fobyard with the project and stated that there are criteria in place that would require the project to cease ira problem with hazardous contamination is discovered. In response to Commissioner Berlanga's concern with the "limited scope" of the investigation by the applicant. Mr. McGuire stated that additional work needed to be done at the construction phase of the development. Commissioner Kelly stated that he is concerned for the health and welfare of the residents who would be purchasing property in the area. 148 Planning Commission Minutes June 7. 2000 Case No. 0600-03 (Mission Lake Estates.

Recent changes in the TMRS Act now provide three choices for adjustments to retiree mmuities: 70%, 50%, or 30% of the increase in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Consumers which the City has historically adopted at 40% prior to this year. If the City declines to adopt the Ordinance, the contribution rate for calendar year 2001 will be 10.71% (6.98% Normal Cost plus 3.73% Prior Service).

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the proposed Ordinance to update service credits annuity adjustments effective January 1, 2001. 7/6/3 () Cy~hia C. Garcia Date Director of Human Resources ATTACHMENT BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Under the Texas Municipal Retirement System Act (T1VIRS) that governs TMRS, the City's Contribution Rate is determined annually by the actuary for TMRS. The Contribution Rate is composed of three components: Normal Cost (the portion of the City's contribution rate that funds the adopted matching ratio) The Normal Cost Portion of the City's Contribution Rate is impacted by turnover of employment of members, changes in the number of members, changes in compensation, increased age of contributing members, and increases due to the phase in of changes in actuarial assumptions resulting fi'om the 5-year experience study completed in 1998, and other actuarial factors. Prior Service (the portion of the rate for Prior Updated Service Credits; and Annuity Increases) The Prior Se:-':ice Portion of the City's Contribution Rate is impacted by changes in payroll ex.~erience and historical trends; actuarial gains or losses (the difference between actual events compared to actuarial assumptions); inconsistent contributions, increases due to phase-in of changes in actuarial assumptions resulting from the 5-year experience study completed in 1998, and other actuarial factors. Retiree Annuity Adjustments (the portion based on a specific percentage of the increase in the Consumer Price Index over a designated 12 month period) Since 1986 the City has designated 40% of the increase in the Consumer Price Index for retiree annuity adjustments. Recent amendments to the TMRS ?,ct by the State Legislature have revised the percentages available to cities from between 30% and 70% in increments of 10%, to a choice of either 30%, 50%, or 70%. Staff is recommending that 50% be designated effective January 1, 2001. The cost of the increase from 40% to 50% is included in the proposed 10.92% Contribution Rate effective January I, 2001.

DESCRIPTION OF TMRS RETIREMENT PLAN: Employees (excluding Firefighters) are covered by TMRS for pension benefits.

Second, the Seawall meets the Section 4B criteria of promoting or developing new or expanded business enterprises, including a project to provide public safety (storm and flood protection) facilities, slreets (the Seawall sidewalk is an essential part of the Shoreline Drive right-of-way serving handreds of thousands of pedestrians, and is part of the Bayfront Hike and Bike Trail), drainage (connecting ~vith the City's stormwatcr system, it is a fundamental pan of draining the commercial areas behind the Seawall), general municipally ox~ed improvements, related improvements, and other projects determined to promote or develop new or expanded business enterprises. Third. it meets the Section 4B purpose of being required or suitable for use for entertainment (for example. hundreds of thousands gather there to watch and participate in events such as Buccaneer Days, Bayfest, parades, sailing regattas. rd~e Fourth of July and Millennium Celebration fireworks displays, and the East- West Powerboat Races), tourist, convention, and public park purposes and events. As a place conducive to gatherings of hundreds of thousands of people, the Seawall serves the function of an auditorium, amphitheater, or concert hall. In addition, it serves as a public park and supports facilities and open space improvements. In addition. the Seawall complex (including the Marina) serves, and has the capacity to expand its services of, store, restaurant, concession, automobile parking facilities, and area transportation facilities. Fourth, the seawall is a port-related facility which supports waterborne commerce. SECTION 12.

(Amendment No. 2--Advancecl Funding Agreement - Tx~]~, Bay Trail. Phase 2. Page 2 of 4) 10. May 9, 2000--Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute Amendment No. 2 in the amount of $13,060 to the engineering contract with Shiner, Moseley & Associates, Inc. for preparation of drawings and related items for additional sidewalk improvements to be included in the Bay Trail, Phase 2 project, Texas Department of Transportation (TxDO'I') construction plans (M2000-143). PRIOR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS: 1. Apdl 29,1999---Award of a contract in the amount of $12,000 to Shiner Moseley and Associates, Inc. for engineering services associated with Bay Trail Phase 2 Project. 2. January 19, 2000---Approval of Amendment No. I in the amount of $2,528 to the contract with Shiner Moseley and Associates, Inc. for engineering services associated with the Bay Trail Phase 2 Project. FUTURE COUNCIL ACTION: None anticipated. BACKGROUND: The Bay Trail Phase 2 improvements are essentially complete and TxDOT has determined a project surplus of $495,000 exists. The balance of remaining project funds allows expanded improvements with the on-going construction contract without the need for additional funds from the City. Unless the unspent funds are utilized for other elements of the Bay Trail Phase 2 project, the surplus funds will be lost. City Staff (Pad< & Recreation, Traffic Engineering and Engineering departments) has recommended that the surplus funds be utilized for constructing continuous illumination of the newly constructed hike and bike trail sytstem, upgrading of park secudty lighting in Cole Pad< (each of these done through City-administered "force account" construction), and construction of additional hike and bike trails (Exhibit B), the latter as a change order to the State's current construction contract for Bay Trail Phase 2. The City has requested TxDOT to increase the quantity of sidewalk construction and to illumination improvements as a force account item consistent with the odginal agreement. An amendment to the Advance Funding Agreement executed between the City and the State of Texas, Department of Transportation is required to forrealize this change in the use of remaining unspent funds. A summary of costs for the additionai siaewalks and illumination improvements is listed in Table 1. Illumination Improvements: The illumination improvements would be constructed by Central Power & Light Company. with the City paying the normal aid-to-construction cost for a CPL-owned and maintained ligi~ting system. This aid-to-construction cost is estimated not to exceed $106,463. The City will pay a monthly operating cost for the new illumination along the hike and bike trail system. Continuous Illumination of Hike and Bike Trail: The continuous illumination improvements will consist of 116 new luminaires installed on concrete tapered poles with 20-ft luminaire mounting heights. The new luminaires would be installed at approximately 100-ff spacings along the full length of the trail in each of the bayfront parks shown on Exhibit C. The (Amendment No. 2--Advanced Funding Agreement- Txl~j~T, Bay Trail. Phase 2, Page 3 of 4) annual operating cost for this new illumination system is $1,327 month (or $15,924 pe year) and will be funded through the City's annual Street Lighting operating budget. Cole Park Liahtina Upclrade: In addition to the hike and bike trail illumination, 28 existing mercury vapor lights within Cole Park will be upgraded to the same concrete tapered pole to be used along the hike and bike trail. The existing light poles are old metal poles which have been in place since the initial lighting system was installed in the mid-1960's. The new light poles will be uniform with the hike and bike trail illumination system lighting and will provide improved lighting distribution within the park due to the higher luminaire mounting heights. There will be no increased operating cost for this upgraded lighting system. FUNDING: Additional funds are not required. The City has previously provided its 20% share of funds for the full amount of the available project funding.

The term of the cottract will be six months with an option to extend for up to four additional six-month periods subject to the approval of the supplier and the City Manager or his designee. Street Sends will use thi~ material with pregoated aggregate for street coation and repairs. Funds have been budgeted in FY99/O0 and requested for FYO0/OI. The vendor is required to have a local facility in order to dispense the heated material into City mtcks and receive unused portions for erectits. Current Contract: The option to extend the current coat has been exercised requiring the receipt of new bids. Bid Invitations Issued: 3 BidsReceived: 3 Price Analysis: Pricing has increased approximately 17% from the last eouhuet ofthree years ago. The increase is due to the high cost of petroleum based products. Award Basis: Low Bid Meeting Specifications An alternate bid h~g been submitted by Texas Fuel & Asphalt Co. he., Corpus Christi, Texas for a polymerized non-emulsified asphalt product, AC-15P. Although the cost of the product is $0.07 less expensive per gallon ($.89/gallon), the difference does not warrant the increased risk factor associated with applying the product. The product is applied at 350°F or 2 1/2 times the application range of the emulsified product. Funding: Street Services FY99/00 Sufficient funds are available to cover this year's expenditures.

Two companies submitted quotes for a high float rapid set polymerized emulsion (HFRS -2P) as required in the gins. A third quote from Texas Fuel and Asphalt Co. Inc. (TF&A) did not offer a bid on the HFRS-2P erm~k-ina but otfent an alternated bid for AC- 15P, a polymerized non-emulsified asphalt product. Both products can be and are used ln the stmet seal coating process. In1997 when the City awarded the last ItFRS-2P supply agreement, TF&A also submitted an AC-15P alternate bid. The Street Services Departmere agreed to evaluate the AC-15P product at that time. The following outlines the evaluation process and our position on the use of~hi~ alternate produeL The evabm~ion was intended to determine some of the application, performance, and cost parameters of the AC-15P material Some of the areas which were examined were: * The effect of high temperature application requirements on manpower requirements. * The effect of high temperature application requirements on worker and motorist safety. * The effect ofhigh temperature application requirements on the versatility and ab'tlity for the reuse of excess material * The det~j.'.~nmion and evaluation of VOC emissions levels and their i~ on operations during ozone action days. * The aggregate retention properties of the material. * The effect of the material on distributor operations relative to the ease of application, it 's tendency for ~hging at the nozzle, and the limitations ofbeing able to interchange between the use ofttFRS- 2P and AC-15P within the same diatn'butor. * The effect of weather conditions on the performance of AC-15P. * The impact on the unit cost for seal coat operations. Irt September 1997, six different locations and a total of 36,482 square yards of seal coat was installed using the AC-15P asphalt for the evaluation test. The research and evaluation test yielded the following conclusions; * AC-15P is applied at approximately 350°F verses the 140°F for the HFRS-2P 205 * This presems a slgnifw~t safety con for the employees. A significant portion of the seal coat operations in ne'~hborhoods are done with handheld dhk~utor wands. * ~nal procedure changes would be require are: persotmel must be trained to deal with the high temperatures distn'butor equipmere must be maintained at a higher state of readiness to reduce any mechanical breakdown that might cause injuries. crew personnel taunt use appropriate protective clothing to protect from higher temperature. caution and exact procedures must be used in switching from HFRS-2P to AC-15P due to a potential dism'butor pressure build up problems. any excess AC-15P mateailm~ be returaed to the plant at the end ofthe wnrk day to keep it from solid'Lfying in the dbmTam~tank or provisions have to be made for the tank to be heated several hours prior to the start of the work day The haplace ~mit cost for the test areas enmpared to a Slraihr emulsion test area was estimate~ to be appn, xim~ the same - $1.02/SY for AC-15P and $1.00/SY for HFRS-2P. Further investiZntion concluded thin over a years time frame a saving of approximately $25,000 could be realized by the use of AC-15P material AC-15P sh~uki be used only during stmai~ months, it does not perform well in cooler temperatures. HFRS-2P can be used year ro:ma, Both products should not be used dmk~g wet weather. During application, AC-15P produces asphalt '~'mgers (thin asphalt thren~g) at the distributor nozzles that tend to float away with the wind potentially getting on vehicles or plant life. This may present a problem specifically in residential neighborhoods. _ VOC emltsions from both products were ill$'lgtfific~qnt and coHcerfi over ozone generation is factor. In addition to the test strips, in Deceuker 1997 samples of both products (AC-15P and HYRS-2P) were sent to the University of Austin where the South Central Superpave Center was asked to perform binder tests to evaluate their short and long term properties. These tests were used to measure the relative performance of the materlal~. The test concluded that both materlal~ performed relatively similar and suggested a two or three year test/monitoring period for the installed test strips to determine their actual field performance. To date both the HFRS-2P and the AC-15P test ~trips have equal performance. AC-15P is a product capable of producing high quality seal coats and is used by various entities in south Texas including TxDOT. As part of our evaluation we spoke to TxDOT and Nueces County road maintenance personnel. TxDOT's contracted work is all done with AC type material, however; both TxDOT's and Nueces Co. 's own road maintenance crews use I~'RS emulsion. Their primary reason for using an emulsion is crew safety. Street Services has used I-IFRS-2P for more than 15 years and over the course ofthi~ time have acquired extensive knowledge on the performance of this material and our crews have developed their own techniques to produce a high quality seal coat. With the cost per square yard being virtually the same, it is our position that the safety risk involved in using the AC material does not justify switching and that HFRS-2P is the material that best meets our needs. ~_ 206 EMERGENCY NOTICE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING CITY HALL - COUNCIL CHAMBERS 1201 LEOPARD JULY 18, 2000 12:00 P.M. c'- CITyJSIJECRETARy' PUBLIC NOTICE is hereby given that the Corpus Christi City Council will, at its Regular Meeting on July 18, 2000, hear a presentation by representatives of local, state and lederal law enlbrcement agencies as well as local state and l~deral prosecutors on measures being taken to address community concerns regarding gang violence.
