Neat Jr. Mayor Pro Tem John Longoria Council Members: Javier D. Colmenero Henry Garrett Dr. Arnold Gonzales Rex A. Kinnison Betty Jean Longoria Mark Scott CiW Staff: City Manager David R. Garcia City Secretary Armando Chapa Assistant City Attorney Jay Reining Recording Secretary Rachelle P. Ram6n ABSENT Melody Cooper Mayor Neal called the meeting to order in the Council Chambers of City Hall. The invocation was delivered by Rev. Medicus Rentz, Christus Spohn Hospital-Memorial, following which the Pledge of Allegiance to the United States flag was led by Student Council members from George Evans Elementary. 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 Neat called for approval of the minutes of the regular Council meeting of October 17, 2000. A motion was made and passed to approve the minutes as presented. Mayor Neat referred to the presentation on the day's agenda regarding the quarterly update on the Wesley Seale Dam stabilization project. Dr. Ron Waters, ofFreese & Nichols Engineers, used a video and computer presentation to describe the profess that has been made on the project from July to September 2000. Dr. Waters noted that the prime contractor, ASI-RCC of Buena Vista, Colorado, mobilized to the site in early July 1999. He said the entire north spillway hearth slab has been covered with mass concrete and all except 100 feet of the hearth wall extension has been completed. That wall section was omitted to allow for the use of the north spillway for flood releases if required during the project; however, that did not occur and that section should be completed within the next two weeks. Dr. Waters said all of the gate extension work is complete on both the noffit and south spillways. In the south spillway, he said six deep sand drains along the downstream end of the chute basin and 16 shallow sand drains near the middle of the chute have been completed. In addition, anchor installation is proceeding. All 124 anchor holes have been cored through the chute concrete Minutes - Regular Council Meeting October 24, 2000 Page 2 slab and 79% of the anchors have been installed. He said the contractor is in the process of cleaning up the south spillway basin now and in the near future the expansion joints will be sealed, the instrumentation will be remoted, and the water will be diverted back through the south spillway channel, probably around Thanksgiving. In summary, Dr. Waters said the total contract mount is $18,228,367.10, which includes four change orders. Thus far the contractor has been paid $15,061,551.99 or 83% of the contract amount and there have been no claims. Projected completion of the total project is June 2001. He said Freese & Nichols has also recommended that the level of Lake Corpus Chfisti be allowed to rise to 93.5 feet and will further recommend during the next quarter that the lake level be returned to its normal pool elevation of 94 feet. He said that recommendation is the result of their belief that the dam is probably more stable today than it has ever been. Responding to Council members' questions, Dr. Waters said since the ballast work came in under the estimate, the contractor was able to install the parapet wall on the embankments at no additional charge over the original projection for the ballast. He said this dam will be as safe as any dam in Texas in terms of the probable maximum flood and the stability of the dam itself. Dr. Waters said they determined that the original bulge in the hearth slab was probably related to the expansive nature of the clay. However, if it was not for the existence of the bulge, there might not have been a closer inspection of the dam which revealed the extensive stability problems. Mayor Neat called for petitions from the audience. Mr. Leon Perez, 904 Buford, said there are too many courthouses in Corpus Christi. Mr. Mike Baker, 4641 Gayle Circle, said many of his questions about the Wesley Seale Dam were answered following Dr. Waters' presentation. He suggested that the Council begin thinking about how to use the excess funds from the dam repair bond sale. He asked why the level of Lake Corpus Christi has been allowed to recede so far without any major conservation effort. Mr. Baker also asked how the proposed arena will impact Heritage Park. Assistant City Manager Tom Utter said the arena will not impact Heritage Park. Council Member Scott said the arena will increase pedestrian traffic in that area, which would have a positive impact on Heritage Park. Mr. Abel Alonzo, 1701 Thames, said that prior to the Council meeting, Mayor Neat declared October 25, 2000 as "Disability Mentoting Day." Mr. Alonzo said he does not know what that means and while the majority of the people accepting the proclamation are his friends, there was not one disabled person present. He said he has been urging the City Manager to hire a disabled person as the city's ADA Coordinator because he or she would be knowledgeable about the needs of the disabled community. Mayor Neai replied that over the last few weeks, the leadership of the Mayor's Committee on Disabilities has brought to him and the staff several recommendations which are now being Minutes - Regular Council Meeting October 24, 2000 Page 3 reviewed. He said they will make a formal presentation to the Council, including recommending that the Mayor's Committee be changed to a commission appointed by the Council. Mr. Jack Gordy, 310 Norton, said that last week he reported problems at Collier Park, including ant hills, graffiti, and a missing restroom light. He said as of yesterday the conditions were the same. He also questioned why Forward Corpus Christi is being allowed to violate several ordinances regarding the placement of their campaign signs. Responding to Mr. Gordy' s concerns about Collier Park, Mr. Tony Cisneros, Director of Park and Recreation, said city staff water-blasted the graffiti on the walls but remnants of the paint has remained despite their efforts. He said the light fixtures in that restroom have been vandalized and need to be repaired by an electrician, which will take lime since there are many other repairs around the city which need to be made and the department is short-staffed. In addition, excessive ant hills are a problem throughout the city but Collier Park has been treated with insecticide. Council Member Colmenero suggested that signs be placed in the parks stating that the facilities have been vandalized and are under repair. Following a brief discussion, Council Member Betty Jean Longoria suggested that a list of needed repairs be provided, and she noted that every year the Park and Recreation Department receives budget cuts. Rev. Gene Stewart, Pastor of Reach Out for Christ Ministries, said they were told that they need to take down their tents at the comer of Leopard Street and Crosstown Expressway. He said their church feeds almost 2,000 people a month and they help homeless people. He asked the Council for their assistance in this matter. Mayor Neat asked Rev. Stewart to meet with city staff. Mr. Carlos Tortes, President of the Corpus Christi Firefighters Association, said they are endorsing the seven propositions in the upcoming bond and sales tax election. He said they are very supportive of bringing new jobs here, expanding the economy and tax base, and improving the quality of life in Corpus Christi. He said the ballot is very specifically worded and he discussed the need for new and improved fire training facilities. Mayor Neat called for consideration of the consent agenda (Items 2-10). Council members requested that Items 4 and 6 be withheld for discussion. There were no comments liom the audience. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes and the following were passed: 2.

Case No. 0900-05, Supchai and Mai Ho Chanyarlak: A change of zoning from an "R-1B" One-family Dwelling DisUict to a "B-1A" Neighborhood Business District on Hart Addition, Block D, being 0.895 acre out of Lot F, located on the north side of Leopard Street, approximately 200 feet west of Hart Road. City Secretary Chapa said the Planning Commission and staff recommended approval of the "B-1A" Neighborhood Business District. Mayor Neai called for public comment. Minutes - Regular Council Meeting October 24, 2000 Page 8 Mr. Mark Crider, 4402 Hart Rd., distributed a letter in opposition, saying that this property has previously been rejected for a zoning change by the Planning Commission. He said this zoning change could create traffic problems. Mr. Michael Gunning, Director of Planning and Development, said the applicant wishes to change the zoning from "R-1B" to "B-1A" in order to open an office with limited retail use in the future. Mr. Gunning showed pictures of the subject property and adjacent properties. He said the adopted area development plan called for single-family, low-density residential. He said the applicant applied for the "B-1A"--and staff is recommending approval--because that zoning designation eliminates some of the more onerous uses, such as fueling stations, liquor stores, and pawn shops. He said "B-1A" also limits the hours of operation, requires installation of a six-foot masomy screening fence at the rear of the property when it is adjacent to a residence, and requires the planting of canopy trees. He said the property's only direct access is to an arterial (Leopard Stzeet) and there is no access to a local street that would bring traffic through the neighborhood. Responding to Council members' questions, Mr. Gunning said the adjacent properties are single-family residences on very large tracts of land. He further described the uses allowed under "B- 1A" zoning, noting that restaurants cannot have a drive-through window. However, he said the applicant has no intention of constructing a restaurant. Council Member Betty Jean Longoria said that with the widening of Leopard Street, more and more businesses will be locating along that street. Referring to the map, Mr. Gunning said that next to the subject property there is a vacant lot on the comer of Hart Road and Leopard Street, and Mr. Crider's property is located on the opposite comer of Hart and Leopard. He referred to a diagram of the proposed structure, which is designed to retain the residential character of the neighborhood. Ms. Carol Wilkinson, representing the applicant, also showed a picture of the proposed use. She said the applicant was seeking the "B-1A" zoning in case he wished to sell computers at his business in the future; retail uses are not allowed in some of the other zoning districts. In addition, she said the "B-1A" zoning has slaingent construction and landscaping requirements, which they felt was more suited to the neighborhood. She said she would not work with someone who would do anything that is detrimental to any part of Leopard Street or the northwest. Mr. Gunning suggested that the Council table this item for a specific time period so staff can develop the language for a special permit that addresses the Council' s and neighbors' concerns. He explained that "AB" zoning not only allows professional offices, it also allows daycare centers, clinics, and multi-family uses. Responding to a question, Ms. Wilkinson said she would presume that the applicant would be agreeable to a special pennit. Following additional discussion, there was consensus of the Council that the applicant meet with staff to discuss the possibility of a special permit that would allow an office building with some specific retail sales. Dr. Go, yales made a motion to table this zoning case until November 14, 2000, seconded by Mr. Colmenero. Mayor Neat called for a voice vote and the motion to table passed as follows: Neat, Colmenero, GonT~!es, Kinnison, B. Longoria, J. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye"; Garrett voting "No"; Cooper absent.

Mayor Neal called for a brief recess. Mayor Neat opened discussion on Item 14, Rodd Field Public Improvement District (PID). Mr. Utter explained that Rodd Field Village is located on the southwest comer of Yorktown Boulevard and Rodd Field Road, east of Bill Witt Park. He said it was annexed in April 1989 and is predominantly zoned "I-2" Light Induslrial with mixed commercial and residential use. He said there are 88.31 acres (excluding streets) in 62 parcels with 42 different property owners. He said this area was originally a Naval barracks from the 1940s to 1960. He said a prior city effort in 1991 to get the property platted and the infrastructure installed failed due to a lack of owner participation. In 1999, at the request of property owners, city staff met with the owners' group regarding the establishment of a public improvement district. On October 9, 2000 the final meeting with the owners was held about the estimated costs. He said that 55% of the owners within the boundaries have signed petitions requesting the establishment of a public improvement district. Those owners represent over 50% of the land and over 50% of the appraised value. Mr. Utter said Mr. David Hull met with staff on October 241h and indicated that he wished to sign the petition, as does Mr. Eloy Salazar, which should equal to about 70% of the acreage. Mr. Utter said a public improvement disWict is a vehicle which allows a city to establish a district where over 50% of the property owners have petitioned the city to put in some public improvement and the city is allowed to assess the cost to the property owners. Mr. Utter used specific examples to illustrate that not all the property owners will benefit in the same way from this plan. However, one benefit is that all the properties would be platted at the same time and all of them would have access to a dedicated road. Mr. Utter said that under the proposed PID, staff is recommending that the city pay the engineering and surveying fees required to plat the properties; that the city waive the plat application fees and recording fees; and that all the assessment fees paid by the property owners under the district substitute for the development fees for water acreage, wastewater acreage, and street lighting. The surveying and engineering fees in the total estimated amount of $89,000 are proposed to be funded from CDBG monies, which would have to come back to the Council in a separate action for their approval. He added that staff does not yet know the acquisition costs, which will be an assessment against the property owners. Minutes - Regular Council Meeting October 24, 2000 Page 10 Mr. Utter said Rodd Field Village poses a problem for the city and the only way it will be corrected is if the city is willing to work with the property owners since they cannot afford individually to pay for the improvements themselves. He added that by law the city cannot give a building permit to someone whose property is not platted. Mr. Utter then responded to several Council members' questions. He said Rodd Field Village is similar to the situation with Village on the Green and the San Carlos addition, which was platted with the use of CDBG funds. He said the process to establish the Rodd Field PID should take about three to four months. Referring to the estimated cost contained in the agenda material, he said the landowners would be assessed a total of $780,000 for the street, water, and wastewater improvements, which staff estimates to be $8,832 per acre. The landowners would be given seven years to pay their individual assessments back. He said if the Council makes the finding that the PID should be established, the property owners who did not agree to the PID would still be assessed for the improvements. To demonstrate the benefit of pooling resources, Mr. Utter gave examples of the estimated costs of a property owner undertaking the project himself versus participating in the public improvement district. For a 3.08-acre internal tract, the costs under the platting ordinance for administration, surveying, infrastructure, and engineering would total $232,500, while the cost under the PID would be $27,200. For a 5.5-acre extemal tract, the cost would be $150,300 versus $48,982. He said the reason the city annexed Rodd Field Village was to not let that "industrial colonla" go any further without developmental criteria. He said in order to keep costs down, the city would waive such requirements as curbs and gutters and sidewalks in order to get the area platted. Council Member Kirmison said this project was a long time coming and he thanked staff and the property owners for their efforts. Council Member Gonzales said one possible source of funding is the economic development sales tax. Council Member Betty Jean Longoria said she has toured that area and the improvements are definitely needed. Council Member Colmenero expressed concern about earmarking CDBG funds for this project. Mayor Neat called for public comment. Mr. Ron Jicha, 7002 Holly Rd., said he has owned land in Rodd Field Village over 30 years and he is in favor of improvements if they are done correctly. He said he understands that some landowners will not be able to get sewer lines to the main line and will have to remain on septic tanks. He also commented that that area floods. Responding to Council Member Garrett, Mr. Utter said there is limited drainage there and staff is not proposing to put in any additional drainage and sewer lines because it would raise the cost too much. However, the engineering assessment will look at those issues. Mr. Tony Bender said it is unfair for the city to annex property and then not help the landowners. He said that as of now 70% of the landowners are in favor of the PID. He asked the Council to allow them to benefit from the use of their property. Responding to Mayor Neat and Dr. Gonzales, Mr. Utter and Mr. Escobar further discussed l0 Minutes - Regular Council Meeting October 24, 2000 Page 11 the installation of utilities, fire hydrants, and street lighting poles. Mr. Gunning pointed out that a PID allows for different standards. Mr. Utter explained that when Rodd Field Village was annexed in 1989, the plan specifically stated that the land would be brought into the city at reduced standards in order to get it platted. He added that the individual properties would be platted as one large property; i.e., it would be 90 acres of plat with property lots as designated by the owners. Mr. Utter noted that there are other subdivisions within the cityuasually rural estate subdivisions--being built without curbs, gutters and underground storm drainage. The plats of those subdivisions specifically state that any future curbs, gutters or sidewalks will be the responsibility of the property owner. Following additional discussion, the Mayor asked what the city would gain by establishing this PID. Mr. Utter replied that Rodd Field Village is stagnant and the existing businesses cannot even get a permit to repair something because they are not platted. With the PID, there will be a dedicated street and water available to every property. In addition, sewer would be available, even though some property owners would have to pay more than others to access it. He said staff can inform the Council what the cost would be to bring that area up to the city's new development standards versus reduced standards. Mr. Garcia pointed out that there are many properties in Corpus Christi that are undevelopable because of the cost to improve them. Mr. Kinnison said he thought the property owners understood the costs associated with the proposed improvements. A discussion followed about the sewer lines and Mr. Utter reiterated the benefits of platting this property. Council Member John Longoria pointed out that the majority of the properties are small businesses. Mr. Utter said the city would probably use certificates of obligation based upon the assessments to pay for the improvements, which he explained. Mr. Jan Rehler, a local attomey, pointed on the map to the 4.5-acre tract owned by Mr. Mark Bratton. He said Mr. Bratton's property is unlike any of the others in Rodd Field Village because it has access to a dedicated road and already has a water line. He said Mr. Bratton would have to pay $40,000 to participate in the PID but he would not benefit from it other than reducing the platting fee by $10,000. He said the proposed assessment is based on acreage but does not take into consideration the value of the property. He said Mr. Bratton would be willing to pay to meet whatever criteria would be imposed in the future. Consequently, Mr. Rehler said they are asking that Mr. Bratton's property be excluded from the proposed PID. Mr. Kip Layton said he is an attomey representing Ms. Shirley Handley, who owns 7.5 acres assessed at $88,000. He said her share of the proposed improvements would be $66,000. He said the statute says that the cost of an improvement may be assessed equally for front foot, square foot, according to the value of the property as determined by the governing body or in any other manner. He said it is unfair to determine the improvement costs on an acreage basis. Mr. William Manak said he owns the building at 7740 Road H, where he also resides. He said he is in favor of the acreage basis because he owns 0.75 acre and he already has a dedicated road and a sewer line. He said the area floods when it rains five inches in an hour, but so does South Staples Street. He urged the Council to approved the proposed PID. Minutes - Regular Council Meeting October 24, 2000 Page 12 Mr. Eloy Sala~r said he owns 35 undeveloped acres on the back part of Rodd Field Village, adding that something needs to be done with that area. He said he is willing to participate somehow but if owners start pulling out, the cost will increase. Mr. William Ward said the area was annexed to control uncontrolled growth there. He said there are no fire hydrants but there are businesses with explosives, volatile solvents, and fuel. Mr. Ward said they need this project and if the Council does not support it now, it will never happen. Mr. Bender said the Council's approval of the PID will show that annexation helps citizens. Dr. Gonzales said the Council supports providing city services to annexed areas but he said they should do it tight, possibly by working in planned stages. He said he would not support using CDBG funds, and they should ask staff to go back and address the concerns raised by the Council. Mr. Garcia referred to the proposed resolution (on page 150), saying this action is the first step in a multiple-step process. He said the resolution would direct the City Manager to hire a surveyor and engineers to develop the necessary detailed information on the PID. Mr. Sonny Heinaman said he has owned property there for 28 years. He said he believes in progress and he said they should work together to improve it. He suggested that the Council tour that area to view it for themselves. Mr. Kinnison pointed out that Mr. Heinaman had not signed up to participate but he indicated his willingness to work together. He said this Council cannot commit future Councils to any actions--all they can do is approve a plan that they agree on. Dr. Gonzales said he does not mind spending the money to develop a well thought-out plan. Responding to the Council, Mr. Garcia reiterated that staff's estimate to carry this process through to conclusion is $89,000. Mayor Neal said that Section 1.d. of the resolution states that the city will pay the cost of all future maintenance of roads, water lines, and sewer lines. The property owners within the proposed district will pay the cost of the initial repair, replacement and installation of the required roads, water lines, and sanitary sewer line (as detailed in Exhibit 3). Mr. Utter said the $89,000 is not in the city's FY00o01 budget and would have to be appropriated from some source by the Council. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes: 14. RESOLUTION NO. 024261 Resolution initiating proceedings to establish the Rodd Field Public Improvement District. The foregoing resolution passed by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero, Garrett, Gonzales, Kinnison, B. Longoria, J. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye"; Cooper absent. Mayor Neat asked what the time table is, and Mr. Utter said three to four months is an optimistic estimate. 12 Minutes - Regular Council Meeting October 24, 2000 Page 13 Mayor Neal called for the City Manager's report. Mr. Garcia said the FY00-01 budget document was presented to the Council and is available for review by the public in the City Secretary's Office, the Budget Office, and the public libraries. He said the November 14th Council meeting will include the first presentation about the legislative agenda and the November 21st meeting will have the quarterly update about the FY00-01 budget. Mr. Garcia said since the red tide has affected the bay, Solid Waste Services and Park and Recreation has been collecting dead fish three times a day from the bayfront beaches as well as from citizens who live along Ocean Drive. In addition, the body of Seaman Ronchester Santiago, a victim of the terrorist attack on the USS Cole, will be arriving at Corpus Christi International Airport on October 241h. Mr. Garcia said the city's Health and Wellhess Fair will be held October 25-26. Mr. Utter said he met with Rev. Stewart and he distributed to the Council a copy of the permit that Rev. Stewart was granted for a temporary promotional event from July 11, 2000 to July 25, 2000. He also referred to the portion of the City Code of Ordinances which states that promotional events shall be limited to four events per year and shall not exceed 15 days at a time. He said city staff allowed Rev. Stewart to stay them as long as possible and then notified him that he needed to move. He said the city will allow Rev. Stewart sufficient time to take down the tents. Mayor Neai said that in addition to receiving a copy of the operating budget, the Council also received the capital improvement plan and there were some differences in the five-year totals as well as a new line item for the Engineering Department. He asked staff to provide an update on the CIP. The Mayor said Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison was able to get an additional $500,000 for the bayfront expansion area, in addition to the $I million for Packcry Channel and the beach restoration and renourishment project on North Padre Island. Mr. Garcia said based on their discussions several weeks ago, staff is developing a policy that modifies the existing process for renaming streets, which they will bring back to the Council. The Mayor then called for Council concerns and reports. Mr. Coimenero said he wished to reiterate the request for information about repairs at Collier Park and other parks, and he said there have been problems with the escalators at the convention center. Mr. Gareia replied that the escalators are very old and they will be replaced as part of the convention center' s renovation project. Mr. Garrett said some citizens were very concerned about a man who allegedly assaulted a six-year-old girl but who was not allowed to be put in the Nueces County Jail. He said that in the last three days, five prisoners have been rejected because of minor medical problems. Police Chief Pete Alvarez replied that the Police Department knew about the individual's medical history involving heart problems but at the time of the man' s arrest for aggravated sexual assault of a child, he was walking around. He said the police made the jail officials aware of the man's medical history and, based on that information, the decision was made not to book him. Consequently, the police officers had to release him. However, he said the Police Department is Minutes - Regular Council Meeting October 24, 2000 Page 14 pursuing the charges against him and more than likely ins case will go before the grand jury by the end of this week. He said the man did not have to post bond nor was he processed or fingerprinted. The Cinef said them is an increase in the number of prisoners being rejected by the county jail, winch he said is the result of a recent lawsuit against the jail. He said they will be working with jail officials to address these concerns.. Mr. Longoria said the Council action requests need to be responded to by staff more quickly, and he said he would rather hear from the City Manager rather than the local newspaper about the status of the police substations. Mr. Gareia replied that city staff tties to advise the citizen volunteers who sit on the city' s boards and commissions about different projects before they are brought to the City Council. Mr. Longoria said the Council members receive correspondence from the board and committee members and the Council members need to have accurate information from the City Manager. Mr. Garcia said staff is planning a full presentation on community based policing. Mr. Longoria also commented on the need to enforce the proinbition against temporary signs, and he suggested that more effective signage be placed at the airport about ongoing construction there. Mr. Longoria also requested information about campaign efforts by Forward Corpus Christi at Memorial Coliseum. He said Dr. Helen Gurley, Director of Human Relations, will be leaving the city soon, and he added that Mar. Escobar was given an award by the Minority Business Development Center for ins advocacy of minority businesses. Mayor Neat suggested that Mr. Escobar's comments at the awards ceremony be forwarded to the Council in a memo. Mr. Longoria also asked that written staff presentations be provided to the Council the Friday before the meetings. Mr. Scott said he agreed with Mr. Longoria regarding signage at the airport and the police substations. He commended Solid Waste Services for enforcing the solid waste ordinances, and he asked if it is possible to put the city's budget on the interact. Mr. Garcia said staff is trying to put both the budget and the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report on the interact. Mr. Scott said it is significant that staff will be giving the Council a quarterly financial update, and he requested an update on the spaceport project. Dr. Gonzales said he hopes staff does not make the process for renaming a street more difficult or too expensive. He said he thinks it should be an open process, adding that it can benefit in the marketing of Cor~ns Christi. He said people should be able to honor those who have had distinguished careers in different fields by naming a street after them. There being no further business to come before the Council, Mayor Neai adjoumed the Council meeting at 6:40 p.m. on October 24, 2000. ~4 a.

EVALUATION COMMENTS ACTIVITY NUMBER: jZ41~ AMOUNT BUDGETED COMPLETED AND SUBMITfED BY: NAME APPROVED: ASST CITY MGR: rrl*L.E DATE 23 AGENDA MEMORANDUM RECOMMEDATION: Motion approving an extension of the Household HaT~rdous Waste Quarterly Collections Agreement with Safety Kleen, Inc. (formerly Laidlaw Environmental Services), La Pone, Texas for an estlrnated quarterly expenditure 0f$40,000. Funds have been budgeted by the Storm Water Department in FY 00-01. BACKGROUND: Previous Action: Award Basis: Under the application portion of the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, the existence of a Household Hazardous Waste program is listed as a specific requirement. The current Household HaTnrdous Waste Quarterly Collections Agreement was executed on September 19, 1997 and has been extended for two additional twelve- month periods. The program provides a safe, convenient place where citizens of the City of Corpns Christi can dispose of stored household hazardous waste in accordance with all requirements of state and federal law. The next quarterly event is scheduled for November 18, 2000. The extension is required to allow the event to occur as scheduled. Agenda Memorandum dated September 16, 1997. Motion to approve a contract in accordance with Request for Proposal No. BI-0199-97 to Laidlaw Environmental Services for Household HaTerdons Wasm Disposal services. Laidlaw Environmental Services and Safety Kleen, Inc. merged in 1998 and Laidlaw Environmental is now operating under the Safety-Kleen trade name. This expenditure is exempt from the competitive bidding statules as a pmcurement necessary to preserve or protect the public health or safety of the municipality's residents. Storm Water 530000-4010-32020 $40,000 Procurement & General Services Manager 25 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMORANDUM AGENDA ITEM: Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to purchase a HP 9000 N4000 Enterprise server including necessary CPU, memory, dual controller, SCSI drives, and related peripheral computer equipment from Texas Department of Information Resources in the amount of $240,772.59 based upon the State cooperative purchasing agreement. BACKGROUND: On Mamh 24, 1998, City Council authorized the purchase of computer equipment, consisting of dual servers, from the Texas Department of Information Resoumes based upon the State cooperative purchasing agreement. Those servers were purchased as part of the City's plan to replace outdated mainframe systems with what was then state-of-the-an technology using the HP-Unix operating system. At that time, this computer equipment was sized to take best advantage of 1998 technology, the application vendor's then current hardware, operating system, and database requirements and the City's volume of data and its anticipated growth through the year 2000. Those servers pumhased in 1998 have now reached the end of their expected life as they were originally intended. Purebasing current technology computer equipment will enable the City to take full advantage of computing technology not available in 1998 and enable the City to maintain its enterprise applications at the current version as offered by the vendor. The proposed server was configured with the help of Hewlett-Packard based on the City's PeopleSoft environment. Hewlett-Packard and PeopleSoft are alliance partners. To better utilize available computing resources and monies both MIS and Fleet maintenance have joined together to fund this purchase. By doing so, the City will only need to purchase one server but enable each application to operate on faster and larger capacity computer equipment. There will be a cascade effect, the applications requiring the most horsepower and resources will be moved to the newer server with the applications needing lesser resources moving up to the next server. This enables all applications to take advantage of increased CPU power and storage and for better utilization of available monies. In this case, the new server will be used to run the PeopleSoft Financials and Human Resources/Payroll applications. Fleet Maintenance's M4 application will be migrated to the server previously used for the PeopleSoR applications, a step up in processor power and storage capacity from their existing server. The server previously used by Fleet will be used as a test server thereby moving the testing process off a production server. For all three applications, this will be major step up in processor speed, memory, and disk storage capacity. ISSUE: Since implementation, staff has continually upgraded to the most current version of both the PeopleSoft and M4 applications. This is to take advantage of functional enhancements and to remain supported by the vendor. With each version, more processor speed, memory, and storage capacity have been needed thereby contributing to overall performance degradation. In addition, the next version of Peoplesoft, version 8, will move the City into a web-enabled environment with hardware, operating system, and database requirements designed to take advantage of new computing technology. Unfortunately, this version will not run on the same hardware, operating system, or database version currently in place, thus necessitating the need for a more powerful server. Note; the current database can W0009012.doc 27 be upgraded to the required version without incurring additional expense. At the same time, the M4 application used by the Fleet department is growing with faster processor, increased memory, and increased disk storage re~tuirements with each new version. Although they are outgrowing their current server, once the proposed server is in production, the current PeopleSoft server will meet Fleet's needs over the next few years. This will allow them to realize performance enhancements without having to purchase another server. It is important to note that in order to maintain our support agreements with software vendors such as PeopleSoft and M4, the city must stay as current as possible with the latest versions of application software. And, that with each new version, the requirements for more processor speed, memory, and disk space increases. This combination of events is not unexpected, as application enhancements require more computing power and vendors are staffed only to support the most current version of any given application with limited support for older versions. This is a trend that will continue as future versions of each application are made available. The proposed server is a Hewlett Packard 9000 N4000 Enterprise Server Solution running the HP-Unix 11.0 operating system with four N-class 550 MHz CPUs, four gigabytes of memory, and 109.2 gigabytes of mirrored disk space. Overall, this represents 250% increase in performance and double the amount of disk storage over what was originally purchased. Purchasing this server will allow the City to take advantage of future application versions and the increased disk space will enable more multi-year data to be readily available without affecting performance. In addition, the server will take advantage of 64-bit architecture, again, an improvement on performance. Based on current usage and application requirements, we estimate this server to last three years. FUNDING: The total cost of $240,772.59 will be shared both by the MIS depanment, $140,772.59, and the Fleet Maintenance Department, $100,000. This purchase is within total project budget. REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: City Council approval is required for purchases over $15,000. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the purchase of the computer equipment from the Texas Department of Information Resources for the total amount of $240,772.59. ~.~. c~e~ ,o .-u.~.~ Ogilvie F.

Motion approving the purchase of video equipment for the Council Chambers and installation and integration with the current audio/video system from Visual Innovations, San Antonio, Texas in accordance with the State Cooperative Purchasing Agreement in the amount of $67,995. ISSUE: On July 18, 2000, the City Council approved Motion No. M2000-244 for the purchase of video equipment from The Intellisys Group of San Antonio, Texas with the installation to occur during November 1, 2000 through November 10, 2000. On October 4, 2000, staff was informed by an Intellisys Group representative that the San Antonio office had closed and that the Austin office was handling matters for the San Antonio office. Attached is a letter from Mr. Marvin Hecker, Director of Strategic Development for The Intellisys Group, stating that The Intellisys Group "was forced into Chapter 11 reorganization, and is going to be acquired by MCSi." In his letter, Mr. Hecker also stated that the company cannot secure the products and complete our project by the November 10 deadline due to limited availability of some of the equipment and limited availability of installation crews to complete obligations from the San Antonio office closure. Staff recommends that the purchase awarded to The Intellisys Group be rescinded. Staff has contacted another Qualified Information Systems Vendor (QISV), Visual Innovations of San Antonio, Texas which can perform the installation as originally scheduled. Visual Innovations hired most of the staff from The Intellisys Group San Antonio office, and therefore, the staff is familiar with our project. Staff recommends that City Council approve the purchase from Visual Innovations in accordance with the State Cooperative Purchasing Agreement in the amount of $67,995. Currently, the five cameras used for the televising of council meetings are surveillance type cameras. Some are the original cameras installed in 1989 and include pan and tilt units that are not operable and are not of broadcast quality. BASIS OF AWARD: The purchase of the video equipment for the Council Chambers and expenses related are in accordance with the Texas Cooperative Purchasing Agreement through the General Services Commission Qualified Information Systems Vendor (QISV) purchasing program. FUNDING: Funds for these improvements were made available from the ClearSource, Inc. franchise agreement which are targeted for these type of improvements. From: TO: Date: Subject: "Marvin Hecker" <mhecker@onr. com> <armandoc@cLcorpus-chdsti.tx.us> 10/20/00 4:38PM City Council Chambers video equipment Mr. Chapa: I am wdting in response to your letter of October 18, 2000, and my telephone discussion with Mary Juarez earlier today. As you may be aware, Intellisys Group was forced into Chapter 11 reorganization, and is going to be acquired by MCSi, the largest and most successful company in our industry. As of Monday of this week, our reorganization plan and sale was approved by the courts, and we are now back to ordering and delivering products and services. MCSi officially acquires us on November 13. Due to limited availability of some of the items for your Council Chambers project, and limited availability of installation crews to complete our obligations from the San Antonio office closure, we will not be able to secure the products and finish your project by the November 10 deadline. If you wish to cancel our Purchase Order, we will certainly understand, and we will absorb any product or other costs that we have incurred to date. In addition, we will be happy to turn over any and all documents or drawings that pertain to your project, to assist another vendor. I believe you are already in contact with some of our former employees, who are now with Visual Innovations. They have expressed an interest in having the contract, and certainly are knowledgeable about it. It would probably be prudent to approach them at this juncture. If you still choose to have the work done by Intetlisys Group, we will need to renegotiate the deadline according to our current situation. Please accept my apologies on behalf of Intellisys Group. It certainly was not our desire to be put in this position, and we regret any inconvenience that our problems have caused you and the City of Corpus Chdsti. Please let me know how you wish to proceed, and what I can do to be of further assistance.

Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to accept a grant in the mount of $100,000 in Weed and Seed Asset Forfeiture funding from the U. S. Depa~huent of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Executive Office for Weed and Seed, for support in Weed and Seed site #1 and #2. B. Ordinance appropriating $100,000 of Weed and Seed Asset Forfeitures from the U. S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs for Weed and Seed, to support the Weed and Seed site #1 and #2 in the No. llYi'0 State and Federal Grant Funds. Issue: Operation Weed and Seed, a U.S. Department of Justice community-based initiative, is an innovative and comprehensive multi-agency approach to law enforcement, crime prevention, and community revitalization. Funds have been made available from the Assets Forfeiture Fund for the payment of various costs incurred by state and local law enforcement officers participating in joint law enforcement operations with federal agencies. Background Information: Funds have been approved for the fourth year to conduct "weeding" activities in Weed and Seed sites 1 and 2. The monies provide for officer overtime, training travel, investigative training, equipment, supplies, and confidential expenditures. The Weed and Seed Law Enforcemere Initiative will continue to address criminal street gang and chug trafficking problems by specifically targeting known offenders and coordinating with the District Attorney' s Office and the U. S. Attorney's Office for prosecution. The Task Force funded through the overtime will continue to gather intelligence on targeted individuals and share it with the local DEA office and federal and state parole and probation offices. Each agency has intelligence on most of the local drug dealers and this information will assist the officers in discovering the relationships that exist between dealers. The officers will aggressively target street level drag dealers; this proactive enforcement will help us reach a goal of successful apprehension and prosecution of targeted offenders. Required Council Action: Accepting the grant and appropriating funds. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval.

Attorney ~ ,2000 Lisa Aguilar ,; Assistant City Attorney H: LEG-DIR VERONICA'LISA'ORD30RD3 323 s0 AGENDA MEMORANDUM October 26, 2000 AGENDA ITEM: Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute a Master Service Agreement with Southwestern Bell Telephone Company for local telephone services. The agreement is for a three-year pedod for $257,845 per year totaling $773,535 in accordance with the Texas cooperative purchasing agreement. The City will continue month-to-month telephone services with ICG during the transition. BACKGROUND: The Telecommunications Act of 1996 allowed multiple vendors to provide local telephone services. Last year the City issued an RFP to procure these services, and as a result, ICG Communications, Inc., was awarded a contract for one year with two one-year renewal options. As stated in the ICG Communications web page, ICG Communications has experienced problems providing services as described in their SLA (service level agreements), between ICG Communications and various ISPs, (Intemet service providers). The stock value of ICG Communications has fallen from about $40 per share to $0.56 per share. ISSUE: The major impact to the City is that ICG Communications has reduced its local staffing level to strictly operations. There is no longer a local contact forthe City's account. Local and long distance voice and data communications are essential for the daily operation of City government in providing services and public safety to the community. While the existing prorider is currently performing satisfactorily, rather than react to market changes, the City should exercise the existing contract option and not renew the agreement. The City solicited QISV pricing for local services in-lieu of the RFP sealed bid process due to time constraints and market conditions. FUNDING: Total cost will be funded by all City departments. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the council approve a three-year contract. Ogilvie F. Gericke Director of Information Systems 51 CONTRACT SUMMARY Southwestern Bell (SWB) Telephone Company and the City will complete a Master Service Agreement for local telephone service for a three-year period. According to the SWB tariffs and our current configuration, the annual expenditures will be as follows: 9 smart trunks w/207 channels 72 police info hunt lines 98 hunting lines 274 business lines 22 isdn lines SWBT SWBT SWBT SWBT I year 2 year 3 year 5 year 9,225 7,803 7,335 6,948 2,310 2,292 2,255 2,201 3,144 3,119 3,070 2,996 7,799 7,740 7,624 7,448 1,203 1,203 1,203 1,203 Monthly 23,681 22,158 21,487 20,797 Annual 284,169 265,892 257,845 249,565 When the City converted from Southwestem Bell Telephone Company to ICG, it resulted in $118,000 annual cost savings.

ISSUE: The City of Corpus Chdsti (City) has a $495,075 grant from the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC) for the purpose of conducting air quality research, planning, and educational outreach in Nueces and San Patricio Counties for FY 2000/2001. Texas A&M University-Kingsville (TAMUK) has been awarded a portion of that amount for the research component of the project. The City and TAMUK are collaborating with the Alamo Area Council of Governments (AACOG), TNRCC, and other near non-attainment cities in Texas to perform a regional photochemical modeling project for a high ozone episode in September 1999. This episode exhibited high levels of ozone across a large area of South and central Texas. A regional approach with other near non-attainment areas provides a more cost effective effort than each area individually developing the model for their respective area. This Agenda item moves $45,000 from funds allocated to TAMUK and transfers $45,000 to AACOG to support the regional model. TAMUK agrees with this approach. FUNDING: The TNRCC provided the City of Corpus Christi with a grant in the amount of $495,075 to fund air quality research and small business assistance projects in Nueces and San Patricio Counties. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the motions and ordinance as presented. Director, Office of Environmental Programs Attachments: Summary of TAMU-K Contract Amendment 2 Summary of AACOG Contract Summary of Prior Council Action 57 BACKGROUND INFORMATION Sub_iect: Corpus Christi Ozone Near Non-Attainment Area Research Study Project Description: The TNRCC is providing grant funding to Texas titles nearing non-attainment of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ozone. The City, acting as the prime contractor with TNRCC, subcontracted the research portion of the work to Texas A&M University- Kingsville (TAMUK). The City and TAMUK are collaborating with the Alamo Area Council of Governments (AACOG) and other near non-attainment cities of Texas in a regional photochemical modeling exercise. The region is very close to violating the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone and must comply with new standards for fine particulates. Modeling will be used to identify reduction strategies appropriate for the area based on good science. An episode of elevated ozone levels occurTed in September 1999. This episode prevailed across a large area of Central and Eastem Texas. Four of the designated near non-attainment cities, Corpus Christi, San Antonio, Austin and Victoria, are collaborating in a regional modeling effort to define the science causing that and similar episodes. Regional collaboration reduces the cost to the individual areas and eliminates the duplication of effort for each area performing their own modeling on the same episode. The work product from the project will be an installed version of the model on the TAMUK computer system. We will then have access to the model to perform the sensitivity analysis necessary to develop a strategy designed to maintain the area's attainment status. Prior Council Action: Project funding grants from TNRCC have been used to carry out research and outreach activities, which have been instrumental in maintaining our attainment status. Previous Council Action is summarized in Attachment 3. Future Council Action: Approval of contracts for $15,000 or more for FY2000-2001 Appropriations Rider Funds which may become be available early in 2001 based on the State Comptroller's audit of the No. 151 Clean Air Fund. 58 SUMMARY INTERLOCAL COOPERATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI AND TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY - KINGSVILLE FOR AIR QUALITY RESEARCH AND PLANNING PROGRAM (CORPUS CHRISTI OZONE NEAR NON-ATTAINMENT AREA RESEARCH STUDY) AMENDMENT 2 Subcontract Provision - Texas A&M University-Kingsville (TAMUK) contracted with the City to conduct air quality monitoring, complete development of an emissions inventor~, perform photochemical modeling of ozone formation, and produce an analysis of the results in Nueces and San Patricio Counties. The contract for the modeling portion of the project is being amended to allow participation in a regional program with TN~CC, the Alamo Area Council of Governments (AACOG), the City of Austin, and the City of Victoria. This effort will reduce the funds available to TAMU'K by $45,000.00 and divert a like amount to AACOG, who is heading the consortiura. TAMUK concurs with that change. Responsibilities of Subcontractor - A portion of the project work currently scheduled to be performed by TAMUK will be performed by a contractor selected and directed by an Executive Committee and a Technical Committee composed of the participants. The City of Corpus Christi and TAMUK will be represented on the committees. Payment - Payment to TAMUK will be reduced by $45,000.00 by this amendment.

ATTACHMENT #1 59 SUMMARY INTERLOCAL COOPERATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN CITY OF CORPUS CIIRISTI AND THE ALAMO AREA COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS FOR REGIONAL PHOTOCHEMICAL MODELING OF OZONE FORMATION Project Description - The City of Corpus Christi, the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission (TNRCC), the Alamo Area Council of Governments (AACOG), the City of Austin, and the City of Victoria are entering into an agreement to fund the development of a photochemical model of ozone formation in Central and Eastern Texas. The cooperative agreement will provide for a more cost effective approach for developing the base case model for the region as opposed to each city doing so on their own. The regional approach will ensure that the entire region is using the same information in formulating their plans to control ozone formation in their respective areas. AACOG, acting as lead agency, will contract with a recognized modeling contractor. Each of the five participating parties will fund a 20% share of the cost not to exceed $225,000 total ($45.000 each). Each party will have one voting member on an Executive Committee and on a Technical Committee to oversee the project. Each area is responsible to provide the emissions inventory data in a model-ready format for input into the model The contractor will be responsible for developing the meteorological model for input to the photochemical model. The work product will be a base case simulation of an elevated ozone episode, which occurred between September 10 and September 20, 1999. The product will consist of a written report outlining the outcome of the model and appropriate Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) analysis. It will also include an electronic version of all input and output files to permit installation on the Texas A&M University-Kingsville computer. There it will serve as the tool required to evaluate the impact of varying weather patterns and/or emissions control strategies for the area. Responsibilities of Contractor - AACOG will assume the lead role in contracting with a photochemical modeling contractor. Project management will be directed by an Executive Committee and a Technical Committee, both comprised of one voting representative from each of the participants. Payment - AACOG will invoice each of the participants a 20% share of invoices from the modeling contractor. The modeling contractor will invoice AACOG as specified tasks are completed. Term - The contract terminates on August 31,2001 unless the Texas Legislature provides TNRCC the authority to carry forward money into the FY 2002-2003 biennium.

FUTURE COUNCIL ACTION: 1. Approval of Phase Two construction contract. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Salt Flats drainage channel serves a large portion of the Northside of the City between Hillcrest and Coles areas and the Ship Channel. In addition, the draining into the Leopard/Brownlee Streets is part of the overall Salt Flats drainageway. This drainageway and its related levees are an integral part of the City Bayfront Protection System. During tropical storms a series of levees and storm gates protect the downtown area from tidal surges from the Harbor area. Overall this drainageway system lacks sufficient hydraulic capacity to accommodate storm flows in the area thus resulting in flooding. This flooding has impacted the Leathers Housing Project 76 Page 1 of 2 and the Leopard/Bmwnlee intersection during severe rainfall events. Drainage in the Leopard/Brownlee area and the Leathers Housing project has been impeded by insufficient hydraulic capacity, an open channel of limited width, severel mad and railroad trestle crossings and pipelines. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project was divided into two phases to expedite improvements to the drainage system. This project will provide for the construction of improvements to the Salt Flats Drainageway and Leopard/Brownlee area. Phase One includes the installatidn of an additional 8' x 4' concrete box (alongside of the existing five boxes) through the Leathers Housing Project to the intersection of Brownlee and I.H. 37. In addition, reinforced concrete pipe from North of I.H. 37 to Leopard Street along Brownlee will be installed, including inlets, appurtenance in Brownlee and Leopard Streets and a debris filter at Mestina and Coke Streets. Drainage in Leopard and Brownlee area will be improved by these proposed enhancements to the drainage system. Phase II will be awarded after necessary permits and environmental clearances are secured. BID INFORMATION: This project consists solely of a base bid. The City received proposals from six (6) bidders on October 18, 2000. (See Exhibit C.) The bid range is as follows: Base Bid = $1,092,397.00 - $1,432,191.97 The Engineer's construction estimate is $1,620,335.00. The low bidder was King Isles Construction. The City's A/E Consultant, Urban Engineering, and City Staff recommend that based on past satisfactory service a contract be awarded in the amount of $1,092,397.00 to King Isles Construction. CONTRACT TERMS: The contract specifies that the project will be completed in 180 calendar days, with completion anticipated by the end of May 2001. FUNDING: Funds for this project are available from the FY 1999 - 2000 Storm Water, Wastewater and Water Capital Outlay Budgets. 77 EXHIBIT "A" Page 2 of :2 SALT FLATS DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS & LEOPARD/BROWNLEE DRAINAGE SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS - PHASE 1 - Project No's. 91359 & 91360 PROJECT BUDGET October 25, 2000 FUNDS AVAILABLE: Storm Water Commercial Paper Fund .......................................................

Neal, Jr., Mayor THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI 87 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMORANDUM Date: October 27, 2000 AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance approving assignment of the "First Amended Lease Between T-Head Marina, L.C., on the Lawrence Street T-Head and the City of Corpus Christi - Restaurant/Patio Bar" (Ordinance No. 022999) and the "First Amended Lease Between Marina Fuel & Charter Boat Company, L.C., on the Lawrence Street T-Head and the City of Corpus Christi - Fuel Station" (Ordinance No. 022998) to Landry's Crab Shack, Inc.; and declaring an emergency. ISSUE: On October 25, the bankruptcy attomey for the Lighthouse Restaurant advised staff that sale of the restaurant to Landry's Crab Shack, Inc., has been approved subject to bankruptcy court approval, completion of due diligence, and finalization of closing documents. In addition, the Marina Fuel Station Lease, which is tied to the Restaurant Lease, may be sold to Landry's; this is subject to Landry's exercising an option to pumhase the Fuel Station. The provisions of the Restaurant and Fuel Station leases, and the City Charter, require Council consent to the transfer by ordinance, which consent shall not be uureasonably withheld. Landry's acceptance of the assignment will be fully subject to all the present lease terms and conditions. The present leases were approved in 1997 for a term of 40 years. Landry's plans to make renovations to the restaurant building, which it will complete during the upcoming slow winter season. (Under the Restaurant Lease, the proposed improvements will be submitted for City approval.) Landry's will pay the minimum rental of $5,833 per month during the renovation period. (This will not change cash flow to the City because the City's 1.5% of gross receipts from the present tenant does not exceed the minimum payment.) Both leases will be assigned directly to Landry's; the present authorized sublease will be canceled. Landry's is a restaurant operator of good national reputation which staff believes has clear capacity to carry out the lease responsibilities. The attorney for the Lighthouse advises that bankruptcy court approval is expected October 30, and closing November 6. Because Landry's wishes to move forward with renovations without delay, they requested that approval of the assignment of the lease be placed on the next council agenda. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the ordinance as submitted. ~,City Manager 0JRB0500.085 89 AN ORDINANCE APPROVING ASSIGNMENT OF THE "FIRST AMENDIeD LEASE BETWEEN T-HEAD MARINA, L.C., ON THE LAWRENCE STREET T- HEAD AND THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI - RESTAURANTfPATIO BAR" (ORDINANCE NO. 022999) AND THE "FIRST AMENDED LEASE BETWEEN MARINA FUEL & CHARTER BOAT COMPANY, L.C., ON THE LAWRENCE STREET T-HEAD AND THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI - FUEL STATION" (ORDINANCE NO. 022998) TO LANDRY'S CRAB SHACK, INC.; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.
