Mayor Neal called the meeting to order in the Council Chambers of City Hall.
The invocation was delivered by Rev. A1 Schubert, Lord of Life Lutheran Church-LCMS,
following which the Pledge of Allegiance to the United States flag was led by Council Member
Gonzales.
City Secretary Chapa called the roll and verified that the necessary quorum of the Council
and the required charter officers were present to conduct the meeting. Mayor Neal called for approval
of the minutes of the regular Council meeting of September 19, 2000. A motion was made and
passed to approve the minutes as presented.
Mayor Neal called for petitions from the audience.
Mrs. Pat Suter, 1002 Chamberlain, invited the Council members to the "Celebration of
Flight" hawk event at Hazel Bazemore Park next weekend. She said last year they saw almost one
million hawks during the cotrot period. She also expressed concem about the condition of the soil
at one of the dry ponds at Pollywog Pond (a former birding site), and said the soil should be tested.
Council Member Gonzales agreed that the soil at that pond should be tested, and Mayor Neat said
he would like additional information.
Mrs. Elizabeth Payne, 3734 Flour Bluff Dr., said she owns property on the comer of Graham
Road and Hutsell Avenue. She said she and other residents appeared before the Council in July 2000
to discuss the possibility of an application to close Hutsell Avenue and to take it off the street master

plan. She said Council Member Scott talked to Assistant City Manager Tom Utter, who she said
promised that nothing would happen to the property until the residents' issues were resolved.
However, she said the developer recently cleared the property and the residents are angry and
disappointed.
Mr. Michel Gunning, Director of Planning and Development, said he understood that over
the weekend some brush and trees were cleared from what will be the Hutsell street extension if it
is approved by the Council. He said a neighborhood meeting has been scheduled for October 2, 2000,
to receive input from the residents before the issue goes before the Transportation Advisory
Committee. He said that since Hutsell is a planned collector street on the city's adopted plan, the
issue will probably also have to go to the Planning Commission. Mr. Gunning said that about 30 feet
of right-of-way was cleared to install a water line that will connect to the south for the newly
approved La Cantera subdivision.
Assistant City Manager Ron Massey said the residents had expected that there would be no
construction activity, and the contractor was not informed to stop doing such things as the utility
work. He noted that no work is being done on the road itself. Mrs. Payne added that Mr. Henderson
said he was pressured by city staff to proceed with the water line installation even though staff knew
that was an integral part of the residents' application. Mr. Scott suggested that Mr. Henderson
provide a letter stating that the city forced him to take that action. Dr. Gonzales asked whose
property was affected. Mr. Gunning replied that it is publicly dedicated right-of-way that was
approved with a plat by the Planning Commission and it was realTurned by the City Council in 1984.
Mr. Leon Perez, 904 Buford, criticized the Texas Natural Resource Conservation
Commission's proposal to coat air conditioner coils to reduce air pollution. He said they should be
addressing the red tide problem.
Mr. R.F. Hasker, 1813 Wallace, said the feasibility of the Packcry Channel project is in the
hands of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and he said most reports about the channel are negative.
He said the financing proposal is a disaster and he criticized the Council's support of it.
Mayor Neal referred to Item 16, and a motion was made, seconded and passed to open the
public hearing on the cost and impact of the multipurpose arena and seawall improvements projects,
and on the general economic development sales tax proposition proposed to be funded by a sales and
use tax, which will be submitted to the City's voters at an election on November 7, 2000.
Deputy City Manager Noe said the first proposition would dedicate 1/Sth cent for not more
than 25 years for repairs and improvements to the seawall. The estimated cost of the project is $43.4
million to be implemented over a five-year period. The improvements would cover approximately
two miles of the seawall from the art museum to McGee Beach. Mr. Noe said the seawall protects
the large amount of property value in the downtown area.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
September 26, 2000
Page 3
The second sales tax increment for 1/8th would provide for construction of a multipurpose
arena facility in the vicinity of the convention center for an estimated cost of about $35 million. He
said PKF Consultants extensively studied this issue and determined that the project will have a
substantial impact, including the potential for over 120 event nights attracting over 400,000 visitors.
He noted that the arena would be able to accommodate events that are too large for the existing
coliseum, which was built in 1953. The third proposition is 1/Sth cent for economic development
which would provide about $3.8 million per year for the attraction and creation of jobs through a
number of efforts in the City of Corpus Christi and the industrial districts.
Mayor Neat called for public comment.
Ms. Gall Hoffinan said she is Executive Director of Associated General Contractors, which
consists of over 200 companies representing thousands of citizens who are in favor of the bond
package. She noted that construction is one of the major employers across the country and it
increases the economic base of this community. She said she is also personally in favor of these
proposals in order to increase jobs and provide more opportunities for young people.
Mr. R.F. Hasker criticized the proposed funding mechanism for repairing the seawall. He
compared it to the dam stabilization project, in which $26 million in bonds was sold although the
repairs will only cost about $16 million. He also expressed concern about traffic problems associated
with locating the arena near the convention center. He said the arena should be located elsewhere.
Mr. Massey said the amount of bonds sold for the dam were based on the estimated
construction costs for that stabilization project. However, the bids for the project came in
significantly lower than the original estimate. He said staff has accounted for the funds when they
have amended the contract. Mr. Garcia said their recommendation at this time would be to use those
funds to retire the debt. Mr. Kevin Stowers, of Engineering Services, further described the
breakdown of the dam stabilization project fimds, saying they estimate that there will be
approximately $3.5 million left at the end of the project. Mayor Neat pointed out that the dam project
is on time and under budget. Mr. Massey referred to an article in the Mathis newspaper about it.
Regarding Mr. Hasker's comments about the location of the arena, Mr. Gareia said part of
the reason the arena makes such good financial sense is its location next to the convention center.
He said that will allow both facilities to benefit, specifically in attracting large conventions to the
city. Mr. Garcia said PKF also analyzed the parking issue under peak load conditions, noting that
there is adequate surface parking in that area. Mr. Noe said there is also an oppommity to work with
the port in joint parking ventures, and ingress and egress will be addressed in the arena's design.
Dr. Gonzales expressed concem about the traffic flow and about using valuable land in that
area for parking. He also asked if the Council had specifically voted on the location of the arena, and
Mr. Garcia said they had. Mr. Colmenero suggested that staff provide specific figures on the parking
issue. Dr. Gonzales said he supports the arena project, and he asked why the background material
stated that the arena would cost $25 million to $35 million. Mr. Garcia said staff provided the
Council with a more detailed breakdown of those costs, but the background material stated that

figure in order to be consistent with the original estimates and informational material. Mr. Kiunison
commented that the amount of the naming rights will affect the final figures.
Mr. David Engel, Chairman of Forward Corpus Christi, said that organization was formed
to promote the bond package and the sales tax initiatives. He said they are excited about the city's
future and they feel those proposals will help the city grow and move forward. Mrs. Longoria
requested a list of the organization's speaking dates.
Mr. Jose Marroquin, 2433 Allencrest, referred to a handout containing his calculations about
the proposed property tax increase and the sales tax initiatives. He said the city will be collecting
much more money than is needed for the projects. Mr. Garcia said Mr. Marroquln's calculations
were based on a 25-year bond issue and the city's calculations are based on a 20-year issue. Mr. Noe
and Mr. Garcia emphasized that the only thing the money can be used for are the projects specified
on the ballot. Mayor Neat said if the funds come in at a greater amount, they will be used to pay the
debt off sooner and remove the tax. He added that the costs for police, fire and EMS take all of the
available ad valorem and sales tax revenues.
Mr. Foster Edwards said he is President of the Corpus Christi Industrial Foundation, a non-
profit organization which owns land known as the Corpus Christi Industrial Technology Park. He
said the group is in favor of the bond proposals because of the need to repair the infrastructure and
to attract jobs. He said the projects are well-planned and contain safeguards for use of the funds. He
added that for too long the city has been ruled by "no-growth" advocates and it is time for a change.
Mr. Sam Beecroft, 144 Ropes, said the antidote to economic stagnation is investment and the
result of falling to invest in a community is deterioration. He said people have failed to invest in this
community for the past 10 to 15 years (even longer for the seawall) and the infrastructure has
suffered. He said the time to invest is now and he urged the passage of the bond issues.
Mrs. Longoria made a motion to close the public heating, seconded by Mr. Colmenero, and
passed (J. Longoria absent).
Mayor Neal referred to the presentations on the agenda, and the first one was made by Ms.
Susan Cable, Director of Commtmicatious and Quality Management. Using a computer presentation,
Ms. Cable discussed the "Stop Trashing Corpus Christi" community clean-up campaign. She noted
that the major complaints made by citizens during the last fiscal year focused on code violations,
high weeds and trash and debris. She said the challenges facing the city in addressing those problems
are limited resources, specific rules that must be followed, and encouraging people to accept their
responsibilities. She said the concept behind this campaign is to reinfome the value that a clean
community is better than a trash-filled community.
Ms. Cable said Mayor Neat kicked off the clean-up campaign in January 1999 and since then
there have been several community-wide events with participation by many groups, including the
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting

Junior League, Juvenile Probation Division, student groups, Sheriffs Department, Volunteer Center,
Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, churches, Weed and Seed and neighborhood groups. Policies governing
these activities have been included in the "Guide to Services," new solid waste services ordinances,
graffiti ordinance, and the upcoming right-of-way management ordinance. She also discussed
positive practices being carried out by city departments, including Stormwater, Park and Recreation,
Environmental Programs, and Gas.
Ms. Cable said new committees that have been established are Legislation, Enforcement,
Education, and Events. Ms. Cable described promotional efforts, including the "Know the Code"
coloring book and campaign, which was designed by Mr. Wesley Vardeman, a city employee, and
developed by the City of Corpus Christi, CITGO, and Beautify Corpus Christi Association. She also
showed new public service announcements that have been developed by the Communications and
Quality Management Department.
Mayor Neai said the largest percentage ofcails and e-mails his office receives have to do with
the city's appearance. He urged all citizens to participate in the effort to clean up this city.
Responding to Council Member Scott, Mr. Garcia said there are two ways to approach this issue:
change the economic value of trash so people will actively dispose of it properly, or basically punish
them into compliance through enforcement actions. The Mayor added that he and others have met
with four of the five area school superintendents to encourage them to take a very active role in the
educational side of this clean-up campaign.
Council Member Betty Jean Longoria asked how citizens will be informed about the bulky
item collection to take place in October. Ms. Cable said announcements will be made via television,
radio, newspaper, and the utility bills. Responding to another question from Mrs. Longoria, City
Attorney Bray said commercial establishments are required by ordinance to keep their parking lots
clean. Mrs. Longoria said Woodlawn Shopping Center has a lot of trash. Mr. Colmenero said the
problem with dumpsters is that other people use them as well, and he agreed that many shopping
centers are full of trash.
The second presentation was regarding the maintenance of local pipelines and wells. Mr.
Garcia said this issue was raised by the Council following a major rupture of a gas pipeline in New
Mexico, and they indicated that they wished to receive information about the city's pipeline system.
Ms. Debbie Marroquin, Gas Superintendent, said the city Gas Department delivers the safest
and most dependable form of engery by adhering to an operations and maintenance plan approved
by the Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC); through corrosion prevention and monitoring; and
through flame ionization survey frequencies, which she described. Ms. Marroquin noted that as per
RRC rules, residential areas are surveyed every five years; mobile home parks, apartment complexes,
and public housing authorities are surveyed annually; business districts, churches, schools, and
hospitals are surveyed on a semi-annual basis; and shopping malls are surveyed quarterly.

Mr. Kenneth David Born, Gas Program Manager of the RRC, said the Pipeline Safety Section
has authority for enforcing the federal pipeline safety regulations on facilities that operate in the
state. He said the RRC has seven offices around the state from which the inspectors work, including
an office in Corpus Christi which has four natural gas inspectors and one haTardous liquid inspector.
He said the RRC maintains a database in Austin on all the pipeline systems in the state that they are
responsible for inspecting, and he explained the state's inspection schedule.
Mr. Juan Ortiz, Assistant Emergency Management Coordinator, discussed how the city maps
pipelines in the city. He said about 80% of the information has been converted into the Geographic
Information System (GIS) format and it can be manipulated in many different ways. He also said the
Local Emergency Planning Committee has developed the integrated alert notification system, which
consists of five different information and alerting tools that are activated through the crisis
management dispatch center in the Police Department. Those tools include: telephone call-down
system, emergency information telephone line (826-INFO), tone-alert radios, emergency radio (89.5
FM), and emergency alert system. Mr. Ortiz also responded to Council members' questions, and the
point was made that the city's emergency notification system has been greatly enhanced.
Fire Chief J.J. Adame introduced District Chief Richard Hooks, Fire Depamnent Safety and
HazMat Officer. Mr. Hooks said that when the Fire Department arrives at an emergency scene
involving a pipeline, they initiate public safety actions, including isolating the area and providing
telephone and radio notifications to the public; conduct air monitoring by the HazMat Team; identify
the pipeline operator (they are assisted in doing so from the Gas Department, the digital map, and
pipeline markers); and begin the shut-down process. He noted that the leak may take hours to contain
depending on how far the valve is located from the leak. Mr. Hooks said the pipeline companies have
been very helpful during past incidents. Mr. Ortiz and Mr. Born also responded to additional Council
questions. Mayor Neal suggested that the information presented be included in a public service
announcement for educational purposes.
Mayor Neat deviated from the agenda and opened discussion on Item 20, Job Development
Corporation. Council Member Gonzales made a motion to substitute the following resolution for
Resolution No. 024207; seconded by Council Member Betty Jean Longoria. There were no
comments from the audience. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:
20. RESOLUTION NO. 024233

Returning to the regular agenda, the third presentation was made by Mr. Ronald Kitchens,
President and CEO of the Corpus Christi Regional Economic Development Corporation (EDC). He
explained that the EDC .was established in January 2000 and he started working there on June 1 st.
Referring to the EDC annual report, he said that during the past year 194 leads were generated, 33
of which became prospects; of those, 13 became active projects and nine are still active. He said the
EDC staff asked the companies what factors led to this region being eliminated from consideration,
and 28 of them indicated that it was the lack of available buildings or sites. Other issues were lack
of incentives and labor issues (size of the pool or competition within .the pool).
Mr. Kitchens said the EDC's goal is to facilitate the creation of meaningful jobs. The plan
of work for 2000-2001 includes the following: increase awareness of economic opportunities in the
Corpus Christi region; institute integrated outcome-based marketing; implement a consistent,
systematic retention and expansion program; compare the best practices of similar communities;
support the creation of long-term economic opportunities for the community; increase private sector
funding to achieve a 50-50 public/private partnership; and develop a professional staff and offices.
Responding to Council Member Colmenero, Mr. Kitchens discussed the need to develop
complete industrial parks where businesses can move in and begin operating. He also described
marketing techniques the EDC uses, such as postcards and newsletters. In reply to Council Member
Scott, Mr. Kitchens said there are about 45,000 people in Nueces and San Pat~cio counties who are
looking for a j ob--about half of those are under-employed but there is no opportunity for them to
move up. Council Member Kinnison discussed the importance of the EDC communicating with the
Council and other entities, including providing financial information.
Mayor Neal called for a brief recess.
Mayor Neai called for consideration of the consent agenda (Items 2-15). Council members

BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Minor flooding occurs at the intersection of Weber Road
and Brett Street. This intersection is located close to South Padre Island Ddve (SPID) and
Weber Road. Due to drainage facilities which are inadequate for conveying storm flows
during heavy rains, prolonged standing water occurs. These drainage problems are
generally corrected by increasing the size of curb inlets, installing larger storm drainage
pipes, and replacing rolled-over curb and gutter including pavement repairs and grading.
Minor drainage improvements are being constructed throughout the City under multiple
contracts. This work is being done in phases and multiple contracts.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project consists of the installation of drainage facilities
including pipe and manholes along with associated pavement rapair and traffic control, in
accordance with the plans, specifications and contract documents.
BID INFORMATION: The City received proposals from three (3) bidders on September 27,
2000. The project consists of a Base Bid and bids range from $73,777 to $149,334.
Reese Contracting of Corpus Christi, Texas is the low bidder on the total of the Base Bid
in the amount of $73,777. The company of Reese Contracting has satisfactorily performed
several jobs for the City. The City's consultant, HDR Engineering, and City staff
recommend contract award of the Base Bid in the amount of $73,777 to Reese
Contracting.
CONTRACT TERMS: The contract specifies that the project will be completed in 15
working days, with completion anticipated by the end of November 2000.
FUNDING: Funds for this project are available in the Storm water Commercial Paper Fund.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
SUBJECT:
Acquisition of Parcels 17, 18,22 and 23
Southside Water Transmission Main - Stevens Plant to Clarkwood Road
Project #6087
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: See Exhibit "B,"
FUTURE COUNCIL ACTION: Council will be required to:
1. authorize the acquisition of these parcels and expenditure of funds from the Water
Capital Projects Fund (Commercial Paper); and
2. authorize the approval of any other parcels in the project where acquisition cost
exceeds $15,000; and
3. authorize the condemnation of any parcels where negotiations have reached an
impasse.
OVERVIEW:
Background: In June, 1998, Council awarded an engineering contract to Urban
Engineering for the Southside Transmission Main Project - Phase 1 (ONSVVTP to
Clarkwood Road). The Staples Street Pumping Plant was considered to be one of
the later phases of the project. However, low water pressure has been an ongoing
problem for the City's south side throughout the summers of 1997, 1998 and 1999.
The feasibility report for proceeding with construction of the Staples Street Pumping
Plant concluded that such action would alleviate the low pressure problems during
peak demand hours as an interim measure. Therefore, acceleration of the Staples
Street Pumping Plant project was proposed to meet customer demands for delivery
of adequate water pressure in the south side of Corpus Christi.
The Council-approved 1997 Water Distribution System Master Plan Update
recommended a new Southside Transmission Main from the Stevens Water Plant
to a new pumping plant to alleviate inadequate water supply and pressure problems
experienced during peak demand periods in Pressure Zone 2 (essentially east of
Everhart Road). The new transmission main will substantially increase the hydraulic
capacity of the delivery system from the Stevens Plant and will be the primary
supply source for the Staples Street Pumping Plant,
Parcel Information: Parcel 17 is located directly east of Violet Road and south of
Nueces Acres No. 2 Subdivision. Parcel 18 begins just southeast of Nueces Acres
Subdivision and proceeds in a southeasterly direction across the Equistar property
towards McKinzie Road. Parcels 22 and 23 are located adjacent to and west of
McKinzie Road, north of the Equistar plant entrance, The combined parcels consist
of 40 foot wide (Parcel 17) and 60 foot wide utility easements which contain a total
of 9.42 acres. Acquisition also includes a 80 foot wide temporary construction
Exhibit A
Page 1 of 1
easement containing a total of 14.49 acres. These parcels are being acquired for
the construction of a 60" diameter water transmission main from the O.N. Stevens
Plant to Clarkwood Road.
The land in consideration consists of vacant farmland and is used for cultivation of
crops. City staff has negotiated with the owner for the acquisition of these four
parcels. Since utility easements are being acquired, a title company is not involved
in this transaction.

Background/Summary of Contracts
SUBJECT: Allison Wastewater Treatment Plant Effluent Diversion Demonstration
Project Award of Contracts for Biological and Chemical Monitoring Services
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: See Exhibit B.
FUTURE COUNCIL ACTIONS: Council will be requested to approve amendments to
address future the biological and chemical monitodng periods and TNRCC required
discharge reports with:
1. Texas A&M University through the Center for Coastal Studies (CCS);
2. Conrad Blucher Institute (CBI);
3. Marine Science Institute of the University of Texas at Austin (UTMSI); and
4. Alan Plummer and Associates, Inc.
TNRCC has indicated a five year monitoring pedod is required. There will be up to two
additional years of monitoring. The frequency and amount of future amendments will be
based on the level of monitoring required by the project, as determined by an annual
assessment.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Biological monitodng of the Nueces Bay, Delta and Estuary is
required by TNRCC to determine the effects of wastewater effluent diversion. This
amendment represents the third year of biological monitodng. Each amendment provides
for 12 months of chemical and biological monitoring to fumish data for the determination
of the effect of wastewater effluent diversion on water and habitat quality.
The data collected through these monitoring contracts will be combined with data
previously collected by each of the institutions. The contracts are designed to provide a
continuation of the specific research by each respective institution. This avoids duplication
and allows each research institution to build on its existing research data.
PROJECT OVERVIEW:
Background: The City's overall strategy for long-term water supply includes the
optimization of the existing freshwater resources in the Nueces River Basin. The
current operating plan for the Choke Canyon/Lake Corpus Christi reservoir system
includes requirements to provide freshwater inflow to the Nueces Estuary that
diminish the dependable water supply for the region. The City completed a two-
phased planning study that recommended the potential beneficial re-use of
wastewater effluents as a means of enhancing the productivity of the Nueces
Estuary that may alleviate part of the need to provide fresh water from the reservoir
system.
Planning Studies: The planning studies indicated that wastewater return flows
may, in fact, provide a greater degree of benefit in terms of productivity than release
i EXHIBIT A I
Page 1 of 3
of stored water. By placing the treated effluents in the marsh systems of the
Nueces Delta rather than putting them directly into the water column of Nueces Bay,
it is believed that significant increases in plant biomass and productivity will result.
Measurements of primary productivity taken in the Nueces River, Delta, and Bay
during both Phase I and II indicate that wastewater effluents could potentially
provide a greater benefit to the estuary than a larger amount of freshwater releases.
Allison VVVVTP Effluent Diversion Demonstration Project: The Nueces Estuary
Regional Wastewater Planning Study, Phase II, resulted in the construction of a
pilot project to divert treated effluent from the Allison WW'I'P to the Nueces River
Delta. The Project, which became operational on October 1, 1998, uses alternative
effluent discharge and dispersal methods. An evaluation of these methods, and the
overall environmental benefits, must be completed prior to proceeding with the
diversion of additional flows from other wastewater treatment plants owned by the
City.
Monitoring: The biological and chemical evaluations being conducted will
document the effects of wastewater effluent and freshwater diversions to the Rincon
Delta and Nueces Bay. The TNRCC requires that the effects of the discharge of the
Project be monitored for pdmary and higher level productivity by measuring changes
in biomass and growth rates of plant and animal communities in the Project area
and nearby wetlands; measuring salinity, inorganic and organic nutrients, dissolved
and particulate trace metals, waterborne and bottom plankton, emergent vegetation,
bottom invertebrates, and larval/juvenile fish and shellfish; monitoring for usage by
water birds and small mammals; and toxicity testing of sediment and water.
CONSULTANTS INFORMATION: The CCS, CBI, and UTMSI have conducted on-going
biological and chemical monitoring in the Project area for the City or other agencies, such
as the Corpus Chdsti Port Authority. As a result, these institutions are singularly qualified
to continue the monitoring for the duration of the Project for the parameters established by
the City and the TNRCC.
Alan Plummer and Associates has specialized experience in water quality and discharge
permit issues. They have worked with the City Wastewater Department on specialized
permit studies. Alan Plummer has specialized expertise in biological, chemical and
environmental processes that are not directly available through local consulting firms.
The Center for Coastal Studies. The CCS will provide ecological/biological
monitoring and inspection monitoring of treated wastewater diversions in the
Nueces Delta, specifically measuring any changes to the bottom invertebrates,
larval/juvenile fish and shellfish, and monitoring for usage by water birds.
The Conrad Blucher Institute. The CBI has been providing saiinity monitoring as
part of the TNRCC permit requirement for bays and estuaries through an annual
i EXHIBIT A {
Page 2 or 3
contract with the City. There are now seven monitoring existing stations supporting
the required data collection.
The Marine Sciences Institute ofthe University of Texas (Port Aransas). The
UTMSI will quantitatively determine the effects of the Project on the phytoplankton,
zooplankton and emergent vegetation in the Rincon Delta and Nueces Bay and
assess the overall impact of the wastewater diversion on water and habitat quality
of the estuarine ecosystem.
Alan Plummer and Associates. Inc. Alan Plummer will analyze and integrate the
data and studies of the other consultants, recommend appropriate modifications to
the study protocols, and prepare the annual report required by the TNRCC
discharge permit.
Additional information, including biological oxygen demand, dissolved and particulate trace
metals, chlorinated and polyaromatic hydrocarbons, toxicity testing results, and the
wastewater discharge rates, all data normally collected as part of the Allison WWTP
operations, are being provided by the City's Wastewater Department.

BACKGROUNDINFORMATION
APPROPRIATIONS:
FAA Grant: Council passed a resolution September 26, 2001, authorizing the City
Manager to accept the amended Federal Aviation Administration Grant Number 3-48-0051-
31-00 contingent upon receipt of a grant offer, in an amount up to $3,100,000. The amount
of FAA year-end funds identified, and offered to the City was $1,834,157. An additional
grant offer by the FAA from the 2000-01 fiscal year funds is anticipated.
The grant is for the Terminal Apron and Airfield Lighting Improvement projects. The grant
could not be appropriated in advance of the grant offer. Funds must be appropriated
available prior to contract award.
Passenqer Facility Chame (PFC): Passenger Facility Charges are generated by through
an additional charge on tickets of passengers using the Airport. These locally generated
funds are governed by FAA regulations and are used for Airport improvements. The
appropriation is necessary to provide the matching funds required for award of the
engineering design contract for the Airfield Lighting Improvements project.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project consists of four portions. The project is critical to the
successful completion of the new FAA Airfield Traffic Control Tower (ATCT/TRACON) facility, which
is currently under construction and about 65% complete, and the Corpus Christi International
Airport Reconstruction Project that is also currently under construction. These two projects were
linked by different safety concerns that necessitated the concurrent construction.
The Airfield Lighting Control System (ALCS) portion of this project is necessary to enable the
Airfield Traffic Control (ATC) personnel to remotely operate the airfield and approach lighting
systems. The beacon is mandated under 14 CFR Part 139 and its relocation is required because
it is currently situated atop the ATCT "cab" which must be removed to prevent a line-of-sight
problem from the new ATCT "cab".
The replacement airfield emergency generator is necessary because the airport has reached a
point where the load on our existing airfield generator is at its maximum capacity during power
outages and, with the planned extension of Runway 13/31, will be insufficient to support the
emergency power requirements. Federal participation in funding the actual project construction
will be requested as Phase 2 during the first quarter of Federal FY 2001.
Airfield Lighting Control System (ALCS): The design of a state of the art computedzed,
redundant ALCS, including resistanca/cimuit monitoring, remote control stations, and touch
screen control. Because the new FAA ATCT/TRACON facility is expected to be completed
and ready for equipment installation by April 2001, this portion must be designed and bid
with sufficient time for installation by that date.
H:\HOME\KEVINS\GEN~AIR~ALCS\^aeawd.bkg,doc
_EXHIBIT A
Page 1 of ~
Relocation of the Existing Airport Beacon: This portion of the project requires an
analysis for site selection (three alternatives), beacon inspection and refurbishment as
necessary, new beacon support structure (tower), electrical power, data communications,
conduit, cable, connections, and also includes the integration of the beacon control into the
control panel for the ALCS.
Replacement of Airfield Emergency Generator: This portion of the project includes the
design for a replacement air'field emergency generator, automatic transfer switch, and
pdmary distribution equipment to meet existing and anticipated airfield electrical
requirements.
Miscellaneous airfield electrical improvements: Should any additional electrical
improvements projects be identified by periodic inspections, testing, or evaluation during
the course of this project in which design must be completed quickly to compete for FAA
Discretionary Funds, the City, at its own discretion, may add the project(s) to the current
project and, once identified, will develop a detailed scope of work and construction
estimates as a basis of future negotiations.
These improvements are "air" side and are not included in the Terminal Building project. Lighting
improvements for the entrance road and parking lots are being addressed through a separate
project that is scheduled for construction award during January 2001.
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: The Council has had extensive involvement in this important project.
The most significant actions are attached. See Exhibit B.
FUTURE COUNCIL ACTION: Council will be requested to award of one or more construction
contract(s) for the improvements.
SELECTION PROCESS: The City utilized the FAA's qualification based selection process. Five
firms responded to the RFP with all firms being deemed qualified for the project. Three of the
responding firms deemed most qualified were selected for interview. IMDC, Inc. of Houston was
determined to have the greatest degree of expertise with airfield lighting control systems. Their
recent airport projects included work for Albany, Detroit, Denver, George Bush Intercontinental,
Jackson, Miami, Orlando and St Petersburg.
ENGINEERING SERVICES: A contract summary is attached as Exhibit C.
FUNDING: Funding is available from the FAA grant and the Passenger Facility Charges.
BOARD/COMMI"I'rEE RECOMMENDATION: The Airport Advisory Board recommended approval
of the contract award on August 21, 2000.
RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the ordinance and motion as presented.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
September 18, 2000
AGENDA ITEM:
Motion approving the reimbursement application submitted by Hossein Mostaghasi,
owner and developer of Brighton Village Unit 8A, for the installation of 620 linear feet of
an off-site 8-inch PVC sanitary sewer collection line and replacement of an existing
manhole; and
Ordinance appropriating $55,929.71 in the Sanitary Sewer Trust Fund No. 4220-250420
to pay Hossein Mostaghasi's reimbursement request for the installation of 620 linear feet
of an off-site sanitary sewer collection line and replacement of an existing manhole to
develop Brighton Village Unit 8A Subdivision, and declaring an emergency.
ISSUE: Hossein Mostaghasi, owner and developer of Brighton Village Unit 8A, has
completed construction of public improvements required to plat and is requesting
reimbursement of the installation of a sanitary sewer collection line in accordance with the
Platting Ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the motion and ordinance as
presented. ,.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
BACKGROUND: The development and platting of Brighton Village Unit 8A Subdivision
required the off-site installation of 620 linear feet of an 8-inch PVC wastewater collection line
from the eastern property line of the subdivision to tie to an existing stub-out at the western
edge of the Cimarron Boulevard right-of-way. The 8-inch sanitary sewer line is eligible for
reimbursement as an off-site sanitary sewer collection line in accordance with the Platting
Ordinance.
An application for reimbursement (Exhibit C) has been submitted. In accordance with the
reimbursement criteria in the Platting Ordinance, the 10.45 acre development is eligible for a
maximum reimbursement of $49,464.00. Provisions of the ordinance allows the developer be
credited for the actual off-site installation cost up to the amount of his lot/acreage fee upon the
submittal of an application for credit and approval by the Director of Engineering Services. A
lot fee credit of $12,366.00 was granted. Because the acreage fee was paid at the time of
platting, the developer is due reimbursement of the entire off-site construction cost of
$26,164.56 (See Exhibit C).
Prior to the approval of plans, the Wastewater Department inspected the condition of an
existing 4-foot fiberglass slip-lined brick manhole on the east side of Cimarron Boulevard and
determined that it would be in the City's best interest to have the developer's contractor
replace this manhole with a new 5ofoot fiberglass manhole and also replace the existing clay
pipe stub-out to which the off-site sanitary sewer line would connect. The cost of replacing the
manhole and 60 linear feet of pipe crossing Cimarron Boulevard was $29,765.15 (See Exhibit
C).
The application for reimbursement is for a total of $55,929.71 ($26,164.56 for the off-site
sanitary sewer collection line and $29,765.15 for the manhole replacement project).
CITY ACCEPTANCE: All work is complete, and the sanitary sewer line improvements have
been inspected and accepted by the City for operation and maintenance.

EXHIBIT "A"
Page 1 of 2
Engineering Services and the city-retained real estate appraiser is made in wdting and has
been filed before the public headng.
GENERAL: The Ellendale Gardens Units 1 & 2 (platted in 1928) and the Shipp Tract
(platted as individual lots in 1960 through approximately 1973) are an older neighborhood
comprised mostly of multi-family, commercial and industdal land uses. The public
improvements, streets, were initially constructed about 1928 with roadside ditches and no
sidewalks. The roadside ditches provide poor drainage and are unsightly. Asphalt
driveways and street sections are in poor repair. The 24-inch and 8-inch water lines, and
8-inch wastewater collection lines within the area are old and need to be replaced.
The poor condition of the aged infrastructure was the basis for inclusion in the CDBG
Program, which will provide for complete rework of the public facilities within the area.
Utility work will be accomplished prior to reconstruction of the streets so that street and
drainage work need not be disturbed in the future for utility replacement. The project
includes new pavement, curb and gutter, sidewalks, driveways and storm drainage, plus
water/wastewater improvements.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This project consists of the removal and replacement of 8-inch and 24-inch water
mains and 8-inch sanitary sewer mains and service connections to individual
customers. Existing storm sewer pipes, inlets and culverts will be replaced with a
new storm sewer system on Omaha Drive and on nearby Leopard Street.
Pavement, driveways, earthwork, paving base, fences, walks, and fences will be
replaced in conjunction with construction of a new 28-foot back-of-curb to back-of-
curb street between Leopard Street and I. H. 37. The project includes concrete
curb and gutter, sidewalks and driveways, caliche base, lime stabilized sub-grade,
and other work required to complete the project.
CONTRACT BIDS: The preliminary assessment roll is based on bid proposals received
for the project on Wednesday, September 20, 2000.
A total of seven (7) bid proposals were received for the entire project, which ranged from
$898,763 to $1,170,041.50. Asphalt Paving and Construction Co. was the lowest
rasponsible bidder at $898,763.00. The construction estimate was $1,065,100.00.

RESOLUTION
DETERMINING THE NECESSITY FOR
IMPROVEMENT OF THE FOLLOWING
CHRISTI, NUECES COUNTY, TEXAS:
Omaha Drive Improvements
Omaha Drive--I.H. 37 to Leopard Street
AND ORDERING THE
HIGHWAY IN CORPUS
SPECIFYING THAT CERTAIN OF THESE IMPROVEMENTS WILL BE
PAID FOR PARTLY BY THE CITY AND PARTLY BY ASSESSMENTS
WHILE OTHERS WILL BE PAID FOR ENTIRELY BY ASSESSMENTS;
AND DIRECTING THE CITY'S DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING SERVICES
TO FILE A NOTICE OF PROPOSED ASSESSMENTS WITH THE NUECES
COUNTY CLERK
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Under Corpus Christi City Charter Article X, Section 1(a)(12) and Texas
Transportation Code Chapter 313, the city council determines that it is necessary to improve and
orders the improvement of the following highway in the city:
Omaha Drive--I.H. 37 to Leopard Street
(collectively, the "Omaha Drive Improvements Project")(the "Project").
As specified in more detail in Project plans and specifications, the Omaha Drive
Improvements Project will include:
1. filling, grading, lowering, paving, or repairing the streets in a permanent manner;
2. widening the streets to 28 feet back of curb to back of curb;
3. constructing and realigning curbs, gutters, and sidewalks; and
4. constructing driveways.
For purposes of this resolution, "highway" includes any part of a street, alley, public place,
or square, including a part left wholly or partly unimproved in connection with another street
improvement.
EXHIBIT "C" I
Page l Of 2
SECTION 2. The Project consists of 3 categories of improvements: a) street, curb, gutter,
and sidewalk improvements to be paid for partly by the city and partly by assessments; b) driveways
to be paid for entirely by assessments; and c) other improvements, to be paid for by the city, because
either the assessment statute does n6t apply to these improvements or the city is not making
assessments to pay for them. An assessment against abutting property or affected railway property
will create a lien on the property and a personal liability and charge against the property owner.
If property is exempt from a street improvement assessment lien when the improvements are
ordered, then no assessment lien will be created. The owner of the exempt property, however, will
be personally liable for an assessment in connection with the property. An owner of exempt property
may voluntarily execute a Builder's and Mechanic's Lien Contract and Note to place a lien on the
property.
SECTION 3. To ensure that assessment liens take effect as soon as possible, and to ensure
that the liens will apply to the fullest extent even if assessed property is subdivided or sold, the
director of engineering services will file a notice of the proposed assessments with the Clerk of
Nueces County, Texas. This notice will describe, or describe by reference, each parcel of property
abutting the proposed improvements and affected railway property, if any. The notice will be
substantially in the form attached to this resolution as Exhibit 1.

RESOLUTION
APPROVING PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO
THE FOLLOWING HIGHWAY IN CORPUS CHRISTI, NUECES COUNTY,
TEXAS:
Omaha Drive Improvements
Omaha Drive--I.H. 37 to Leopard Street
APPROVING THE DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING SERVICES' PROJECT
CONSTRUCTION COST ESTIMATE INCLUDING AN ESTIMATE OF THE
PORTION OF COSTS TO BE PAID BY THE CITY AND THE PORTION TO
BE PAID BY ASSESSMENTS; SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING ON THESE
PROPOSED ASSESSMENTS TO OCCUR DURING THE NOVEMBER 28,
2000 CITY COUNCIL MEETING; DIRECTING THE CITY SECRETARY
TO ARRANGE TO PUBLISH NOTICE OF THIS PUBLIC HEARING; AND
ORDERING THE DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING SERVICES TO
PROVIDE WRITTEN NOTICE OF THE PUBLIC HEARING TO
PROPERTY OWNERS
In its Resolution No. , passed on October 10, 2000, the City Council
determined that it was necessary to improve and ordered the improvement of the following highway
in Corpus Christi, Nueces County, Texas:
Omaha Drive--I.H. 37 to Leopard Street
(collectively, the "Omaha Drive Improvements Project")(the "Project").
In Resolution No. , the city council stated that the Project consisted of 3
categories of improvements: 1) street, curb, gutter, and sidewalk improvements to be paid for partly
by the city and partly by assessments; 2) driveways to be paid for entirely by assessments; and 3)
other improvements, to be paid for by the city, because either the assessment statute did not apply
to these improvements or the city was not making assessments to pay for them.
The city's department of engineering services prepared detailed Project plans and
specifications. The city then received bids to construct the Project accordingly.
After evaluating the apparent lowest responsible bid to construct the Project, the director of
engineering services prepared a Project construction cost estimate (attached as Exhibit 1). This
estimate specifies anticipated total Project construction cost and the city portion of this cost, the
preliminary total of assessments, and various assessment rates. The estimate also includes a bid
tabulation and a preliminary assessment roll listing proposed assessments against each abutting or
EXHIBIT "C-1"
Page 1 of 2
affected property.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS:
SECTION 1. The Project plans and specifications are approved.
SECTION 2. In accordance with Texas Transportation Code Section 313.024, the Project
construction cost estimate is approved; however, the assessments listed in the preliminary
assessment roll cannot be imposed until after a public heating conducted in accordance with state
law and the city council's Assessment Process Rules Resolution.
SECTION 3. A public hearing on proposed assessments for the Omaha Street
Improvements Project will be held during the City Council's November 28, 2000 meeting. This
meeting will begin at 2 p.m. in the City Council Chambers, 1201 Leopard Street, Corpus Christi,
Texas.
SECTION 4. The city secretary will arrange to publish notice of this public hearing in
accordance with the Assessment Process Rules Resolution.
SECTION 5. The director of engineering services will provide written notice of the public
hearing to property owners in accordance with the Assessment Process Rules Resolution.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 26, 2000
SUBJECT: Coastal Bend Health Facilities Development Corporation Grants
AGENDA ITEM:
Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee, to accept two grants from the
Corpus Christi Health Foundation providing for portable equipment for the Dental
Program and recording and presentation equipment for the Health Education Program in
the respective amounts of $22,000 and $6,500.
An ordinance appropriating $28,500 from the Corpus Christi Health Foundation in the
No. 1050 Federal/State Grants Fund for portable equipment for the Dental Program and
recording and presentation equipment for the Health Education Program.
ISSUE: The Corpus Christi Health Foundation, a 501C(3) non-profit organization, has been
awarded two grants that will fund equipment needed for the Health Department. The first
grant is for $6,500 and will purchase a projection PowerPoint system, palmcorder and
accessories for the Health F~ducation Program. The equipment will be used as training and
education tools to present health related topics to the community. In addition, a $22,000 grant
has been provided to the Health Department Dental Program for portable dental equipment.
The equipment will be used to deliver on-site restorative dental services in area schools for free
and reduced lunch eligible children from 1 to 18 years of age. The school-based clinics will
also provide dental sealants, a major preventative for tooth decay (see attached agreement).
REOUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Authorize acceptance of both grants and appropriate
$28,500 as part of the Federal/State Grants Fund.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the grants be accepted and ordinance
approved to facilitate the delivery of health education and dental services to our community.

SUBJECT: BENDER VS CITY
Please note changes listed below to draft ordinance sent to my office on September 18, 2000.
Page 2 - Because it requires a great deal of time for an Animal Control Officer to permit a
rodeo we wish to increase the permit fee to $200.00. I discussed this with Mario
Tapia and he sees no problem.
Page 7 - 6-36(c) line 8 shouldn't this be "five one year periods"?
In the zoning ordinance 20.54 and 21.604 should I-3 be included also?
20.54 (2) and 21.604 (2) there does not appear to be any set back for open pastures
abutting residential areas, if we are reading this correctly. If true then one could have
horses abutting the backyard of a residence.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
October 3, 2000
AGENDA ITEM: Appropriating $15,000 from the Blanche Moore Foundation in the
No. 6010 Trust Fund-Youth Sports for the expenses of the Corpus Christi Magic
Blanche Moore Baseball Team; amending the FY 2000-2001 Budget, adopted by
Ordinance No. 024130, to increase appropriations by $15,000 in the No. 6010 Trust
Fund-Youth Sports; and declaring an emergency.
ISSUE: The Blanche Moore Foundation has provided a restricted donation to the
City for pass through to the Corpus Christi Magic Blanche Moore Baseball Team.
This is the fourth year the donation has been made. The baseball team sta~ed three
years ago as a pony league for 13-14 year oids. Two years ago, the team played
in the Mickey Mantle league and included boys of 15-16 years of age. At the end of
that season, the team played in the World Series of the Continental Amateur
Baseball Association, but was narrowly defeated. This past season, the team played
in the teenage league for 17-18 year olds. This fourth and current donation will be
used to build a small building on the baseball field at Moody High School and will be
named in honor of the Corpus Christi Magic Blanche Moore Baseball Team.
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: The City has passed this money through for the last
three years and the last City Council action was in April 1998 with an appropriation
for that year's transfer.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: In order for the funds to be passed through, the
funds must be appropriated by the City Council, and the budget must be amended.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Council approval of the ordinance.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
October 4, 2000
SUBJECT: Planning and Management Services - Propo,sed Multipurpose Arena:
Authorization to Enter Negotiations
AGENDA ITEM:
Resolution Selecting SMG as the Contractor for Planning and Management Services for the
Proposed Multipurpose Arena, and Directing the City Manager to undertake Negotiations with
SMG to Complete an Agreement for such Services.
ISSUE: Facility management services are necessary prior to opening to ensure the
Multipurpose Arena is designed to maximize operational efficiency, flexibility, and
maintainability of the facility. The complexity of facility management contracts dictates that
negotiations begin so that a contract can be ready for Council consideration contingent upon
approval of the project by the voters.
FUNDING: This action does not commit or obligate any funds for expenditure.
RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the resolution as presented.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
SUBJECT: Proposed Multipurpose Arena - Management Services
BACKGROUND: The Needs Assessment Study completed by PKF determined that a new
Multipurpose Arena was needed by the City of Corpus Christi. The study also determined
that the construction and operation of the facility was financially feasible. PKF strongly
recommended a facility management company be retained to operate the new Arena.
Council approved the inclusion of a new Multipurpose Arena for voter approval on the
November 7 election ballot.
The City released a Requests for Proposal with the intent of entedng a management
contract for the Arena subject to approval by the voters. Facility management is a highly
specialized field. Four firms were identified by consultants as performing facility
management services. The City requested the four major companies that perform such
services to respond to the RFP. The two largest and most prominent facility management
firms responded and submitted a response to the RFP (Global Spectrum and SMG).
FUTURE COUNCIL ACTIONS:
Award of pra-opening and facility management contract.
Award of contract for design services associated with the Convention Center
Expansion and Rehabilitation project.
Award of geotechnical, materials testing, inspection and construction laboratory
services.
Amendment of the project management services for construction phase services.
Award of construction contract(s) for the Convention Center
Expansion/Rehabilitation and Multipurpose Arena projects.
MANAGEMENT SERVICES: Management services are necessary during the design and
construction phases to ensure the Arena incorporates the necessary features and flexibility
to facilitate the widest range of uses. Inclusion of management consulting during design
also ensures that the facility is propedy designed to permit efficient changes in floor and
seating layout for a wide variety of events. Facility management companies have an
inherent self interest in assuring the selected furniture, fixtures and equipment are both
durable and easily utilized. Management consulting will ensure the design of the facility
is easily maintained and cleaned. These consideration will help enhance revenue and
minimize operating expenses. The management services are anticipated to include:
1. planning and programming;
2. design review;
3. pre-opening operational tasks;
4. furniture, fixture, and equipment review/recommendations;

advertising services consisting of:
a. naming dghts planning and procurement;
b. advertising inventory design and seating planning;
c. advertising sales; and
facility management.
CONSULTANT SELECTION: The City utilized a formal Request for Proposals (RFP) for
Management Services. Global Spectrum and SMG submitted high quality proposals. Both
firms are considered to be the premier facility management firms in the nation. The staff
committee reviewing the proposals found them to be highly similar in structure and
approach.
Contact was also made with owners of arenas being managed by each firm. Particular
inquiry was made as to the quality of pre-opening services. The owners of all facilities
were highly satisfied with the management of their facilities and the benefits of pre-opening
services.
Several of the owners contacted referenced the importance of having other facilities in
geographic proximity under management by the same firm. They had concerts, shows,
and other events scheduled as part of a tour arranged by their facility manager. Most
owners contacted were of the opinion that this would have not been possible without other
arenas in the region being under management contract by their facility manager,
SMG was determined to the best qualified to manage the proposed Arena. Their proposal
listed 47 arenas and a total of 112 facilities under contract. SMG is under contract for
facilities under development or under management in Texas including Beaumont, El Paso
(3), Houston (4), and Laredo. A copy of SMG's RFP submittal addressing their
management experience is attached.
Global Spectrum listed eight (8) arenas and a total of twelve (12) facilities. Global
Spectrum's facilities were primarily east coast facilities with no other facilities in Texas.
PROJECT SCHEDULE: It is anticipated that negotiation of the management contract and
architectural contracts will be finalized this year.
FUNDING: The resolution does not obligate the City to any expenditure of funds.

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
Date: October 5, 2000
SUBJECT: Interim, short-term cable franchise arrangement
AGENDA ITEM:
I) Ordinance granting to TCI Cablevision of Texas, Inc. acceptance of an agreement relating to the
cable television franchise granted in Ordinance No. 16133 as amended, to extend said franchise for
six months in consideration of TCI providing a franchise fee payment to City of five percent
beginning November 1, 2000 and based upon consideration of requirements relating to the transfer
of the franchise to Texas Cable Partners, L.P. ("Texas Partners")
2) Ordinance authorizing the transfer of a cable television franchise from TCI Cablevision of Texas,
Inc. to Texas Cable Partners, L.P., subject to requirements
ISSUE: For some time, pursuant to federal cable television law, the City staff committee has been
engaged in negotiations with TCI Cable (the present franchisee, which is now owned by AT&T
Cable) for a renewal cable franchise. The present franchise expires in April 2001. Recently, we
have been unable to reach final agreement on two primary issues, institutional network and access
channels. The next step would be to invoke the federal "formal" process, a more cumbersome and
expensive process. At the same time, we recently received an application to transfer the present
franchise to Texas Partners, L.P., an entity controlled by Time Warner. Pursuant to federal law, this
application must be reviewed and approved by the City if it meets requirements of federal law. We
have retained Adrian Herbst for this review.
Given the transition period created by the pending swap of systems between AT&T Cable and Texas
Cable Partners, AT&T suggested that the formal process be held in abeyance pending the transfer
to Texas Cable Parmers. In further communications between officials of AT&T and Time Wamer
and City staff and consultants we have reached agreement on an interim solution as follows: 1 ) No commencement of the formal process for six months.
2) Extension of the present franchise six months beyond the current termination date..
3) Increase the franchise fee from 4 to 5% effective November I, 2000.
4) Approve the transfer to Texas Cable Partners (review has been completed and is
recommended by our consultant).
5) Continue negotiations for long term franchise renewal, with participation of Time Wamer.
This is accomplished in the two ordinances presented for your approval. First reading would be
October 10 and second reading November 14. This interim measure preserves the City's rights in
the renewal process, increases the franchise fee at the time previously anticipated, avoids the costly
formal process unless it clearly becomes necessary, and increases the likelihood of an ultimate
satisfactory resolution.
0JRB0500.080
We have received the report and review of the transfer of the franchise from TCI Cablevision of
Texas, Inc. to Texas Cable Partners, L.P., prepared by the Bailer Herbst Law Group, P.C. and
Charles Gramlich and Associates, which includes the evaluation of Texas Cable partners' legal,
technical and financial qualifications and based on this review recommends approval as provided
in the ordinances presented. A copy of the report is available.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the ordinances as presented.

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
September 29, 2000
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution of the City Council of the City of Corpus Christi, Texas
approving the Issuance of up to $6,000,000 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 had 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 corner of Greenwood Drive
and Horne Road). In order for the San Antonio organization to issue the bonds, the
Corpus Christi City Council gave its approval at the Council meeting of July 18, 2000.
The total of the project has now increased to $6 million and bond counsel for the chaser
school (McCall, Parkhurst & Horton) has requested that a new resolution be passed by the
City Council in the amount of $6 million.
BudQet 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
BACKGROUNDINFORMATION
The Gulf Coast Council of La Raza is proposing to construct a charter school known
as the Dr. Maria Luisa Garza Academy of Transitional Studies Charter School on 8.1
acres of land located on the southwest corner of Greenwood Ddve and Horne 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-
risk 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. The City Council gave its approval on July
18, 2000. The total bond issue has now reached $6 million and bond counsel has
requested a new resolution at that amount. 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 granting its approval. I have attached a copy of the proposed resolution.
