City Secretary Chapa said the Planning Commission and staff recommended denial of the "B-4" General Business District, and in lieu thereof, approval of a Special Permit for a retail automobile sales use subject to a site plan and eight (8) conditions. Mr. Michael Gunning, Director of Planning and Development, said staff met last week with the applicant, who concurred with the recommendation. He also outlined the eight conditions of the special permit. No one appeared in opposition to the zoning change. Mrs. Longoria made a motion to close the public hearing, seconded by Mr. Colmenero, and passed.

Mayor Neal stated that Item 11, Case No. 1200-01, had been withdrawn by the applicant. Minutes - Regular Council Meeting January 9, 2001 Page 6 11. WITHDRAWN Mayor Neal referred to Item 12, and a motion was made, seconded and passed to open the public hearing on the following zoning case: 12. Case No. 1200-02. Emilio Cano: A change of zoning from an "FR" Farm-Rural District to an "R-lB" One-family Dwelling District on Flour Bluff and Encinal Farm and Garden Tracts, Section 20, being a 34.85 acre tract out of a portion of Lots 13 and 14, located on the west side of Airline Road, approximately 2,220 feet south of Saratoga Boulevard. City Secretary Chapa said the Planning Commission and staff recommended approval of the "R-lB" One-family Dwelling District. Mr. Gunning stated that the applicant applied for the zoning change in order to build a single- family subdivision on a 34-acre tract of land, which is near the Brighton Village and Vineyard subdivisions. He said staff believes that the proposed development is consistent with the existing single-family developments. In addition, staff will ensure that the plat is consistent with the adopted transportation plan for that area and that the local street system will serve the neighborhood and provide connectivity to Brighton Village and Airline Road. Mr. Gunning went on to say that during the Planning Commission public hearing, a resident of Brighton Village expressed concern that Brockhampton Street would be opened up and connected to Airline Road through the new subdivision, which will create more traffic. He said that Brockhampton Street will veer to the south and then to the west to tie back into Cimmaron Boulevard. However, there will be a local street connection tying into Brockhampton but the subdivision plat has not yet been developed. Mr. Jim Robbins, 3126 Briarhurst, said Brockhampton Street already ties into Cimmaron Boulevard and he and other residents are concerned about whether Brockhampton and the planned extension into the new subdivision will be included in the traffic master plan. He said they are also concerned about the developer buying the property next to the church and having it rezoned to "B-4." In addition, Mr. Robbins said the developer has asked for one entrance from Airline Road into the 200-home neighborhood. Also, he said there are no deed restrictions in place for the new neighborhood, as opposed to standard deed restrictions in Brighton Village, and they also want to ensure that there is proper drainage there. Mr. Gunning reiterated that Brockhampton Street will not connect to Airline Road but back Minutes - Regular Council Meeting January 9, 2001 Page 7 to Cimmaron Boulevard instead. He said there will be a public heating before the Planning Commission to consider the proposed plat for the new development. He said staff will ensure that the Brighton Village Neighborhood Association and residents are notified about that hearing. In addition, the stormwater drainage plan and all construction plans must be reviewed and approved by the City's Engineer. He said this subdivision will require a minimum lot size of 6,000 square feet, which is the same as Brighton Village, and the houses should be comparable in value ($100,000 up). Mr. Robbins said that if the new development is built, there will be an average of 200 cars per day going through the Brighton Village neighborhood, and he discussed increased usage of Brighton Park. Mayor Neal said that creation of the proposed subdivision involves an extensive public process. Mr. Terry White, President of the Brighton Village Neighborhood Association, also voiced concern about the new development to be built. He said he understood that there would be 2,000 cars per day going into the new neighborhood with only two entrances--from Cimmaron via Brockhampton and from Airline. He said they are also concemed about their homes depreciating in value and about maintaining the safety of their neighborhood. Mrs. Longoria made a motion to close the public hearing, seconded by Mr. Kiunison, and passed. Responding to Mrs. Longoria, Mr. Gunning said Brockhampton Street is a collector street so it is 60 feet wide. She said Brighton Village is not the first established neighborhood to be concemed about previously vacant adjacent land being developed. Mr. Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows: 12. ORDINANCE NO. 024333 Amending the Zoning Ordinance upon application by Emilio Cano by changing the zoning map in reference to 34.85 acres out of Lots 13 and 14, Section 20, Flour Bluff and Encinal Farm and Garden Tracts, from "F-R" Farm-Rural District to "R-lB" One-family Dwelling District; amending the Comprehensive Plan to account for any deviations from the existing Comprehensive Plan. An emergency was declared and the foregoing ordinance passed: Neal, Colmenero, Cooper, Garrett, Gonzales, Kinnison, B. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye"; J. Longoria absent. Mayor Neal referred to Item 13, and a motion was made, seconded and passed to open the public heating regarding amendments to the Platting Ordinance. In a computer presentation, Deputy City Manager Noe explained that the proposed amendments address three issues: financial responsibility on city street and bridge participation, use of the Park Trust Fund, and street lighting costs. Regarding the first issue, Mr. Noe said that in the current ordinance, there is no process to determine whether funds are available and to secure Council Minutes - Regular Council Meeting January 9, 2001 Page 8 approval for city participation in street and bridge construction. He said the City Charter requires that funds be available before the city is committed to a project. Consequently, staffis recommending a change in the process whereby the participation agreement would be approved by the City Council prior to the construction plans being approved by Engineering Services, followed by the other steps in the process. With regard to the Park Trust Fund usage, the ordinance currently states that when a fee is collected from a developer in lieu of land dedication, the money has to be spent within 1.5 miles of the area from which it is collected. Mr. Noe said that in keeping with the city's current planning efforts and the need to use park funds more effectively, staff is recommending that the radius be extended to three miles in order to create fewer but larger parks. He said this would not affect past park dedications but prospectively for new park dedications. Council Member Gonzales expressed concern that that recommendation would move parks too far away from the neighborhoods. Mr. Noe said a park master plan process is currently underway which staff believes will provide a more effective use of park funds. Council Member Betty Jean Longoria said she has been a strong supporter of neighborhood parks but she has seen how the city's budget cuts have affected the maintenance of its parks. Mayor Neal used the example of the previous zoning case (Item 12) to question how the proposed policy change regarding Park Fund usage would apply. He said if the developer does not dedicate a park in the new neighborhood, the fee in lieu of the dedication could be used on an existing park as far as three miles away, which is quite a distance. Mr. Tony Cisneros, Director of Park and Recreation, acknowledged that the ideal would be to have beautiful parks in every neighborhood, but the reality is that the city's budget cannot support that. He said they are proposing well-developed, centrally located parks that can serve several neighborhoods. Mayor Neal said if they proceed with that concept, staff needs to be begin identifying areas for park development as new subdivisions are planned and constructed in the future. Mr. Cisneros added that the park master plan will help detemaine what should be the proper radius. Council Member Colmenero also expressed concern about the proposed distance between parks. City Manager Garcia said the purpose of staff's recommendation is to allow for more flexibility on where the park dedication monies can be spent. Mayor Neal said staff should bring the Council the park master plan before they proceed on this issue. Council Member Scott said he thought the trend across the country was moving toward fewer but larger neighborhood parks. Mr. Cisneros. agreed that that is the trend, and he said the park master plan will identify whether the parks are serving the neighborhoods as they should. Mr. Garcia said staff can bring this issue back with a more comprehensive presentation on the park master plan. Mr. Noe said the third proposed amendment regards street lighting costs. He said currently the ordinance requires that developers pay a set amount per street light, which covered the cost of the lights when the ordinance was adopted. However, now the actual cost per light is twice that amount and the proposal is to require that the developer pay the actual cost. In addition, the Minutes - Regular Council Meeting January 9, 2001 Page 9 ordinance would extend the responsibility for street lighting to new subdivisions outside the city limits but inside the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction. Mr. Noe said that the development community was extensively involved in the creation of these proposals and a number of public meetings were held. He said prior to second reading staff can change the radius back to 1.5 miles on the park land issue until the Council has an opportunity to further discuss it. Mayor Neal called for public comments. Mr. Jim Robbins said the neighbors in Brighton Village use Brighton Park several times a year. He reiterated his concern about increased traffic on Brockhampton Street-- and its effect on the park--as a result of the new subdivision adjacent to Brighton Village. Using Brighton Park as an example, Mr. Garcia said that currently the only money that would be available to improve that park would be the limited amount that would be contributed by developers in the immediate vicinity. Mr. Colmenero made a motion to close the public hearing, seconded by Dr. Gonzales, and passed. Mrs. Longoria asked if the city has any ability to determine where a park will be located when a new subdivision is developed. Mr. Cisneros said there are certain requirements that have to be met, although in the past there was a lot of latitude regarding what the city accepted as park land dedication. He said staff is trying to address other issues regarding park land dedication in the park master plan. Mr. Scott said Mr. Noe and staffwent to great lengths to involve the development community in these proposals, and he noted that there were no developers present in opposition. He asked how the time line would be affected. Mr. Noe said staff will work to make the time difference as minimal as possible. Dr. Gonzales asked that the Council receive the park master plan prior to staff's presentation so they can study it. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows: 13.b. FIRST READING ORDINANCE Ordinance amending the Platting Ordinance regarding the City's participation in streets, parks, and street lighting infrastructure improvements; and regarding park dedication and use of monies in the Park Trust Fund. The foregoing ordinance passed on first reading: Neal, Colmenero, Cooper, Garrett, Gonzales, Kinnison, B. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye"; J. Longoria absent. Mayor Neal referred to Item 14 regarding the proposed name change of Belden Street to Concrete Street. City Secretary Chapa said the applicant asked that this issue be postponed for two weeks. A motion was made, seconded and passed to open the public hearing. Dr. Gonzales made a motion to postpone this item for two weeks (until the January 23, 2001 Council meeting). Mr. Colmenero seconded the motion to postpone, and it passed. Minutes - Regular Council Meeting January 9, 2001 Page 10 14.b. Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 15, reduction of speed limit on FM 2444. Mr. David Seiler, Traffic Engineer, said if the Council approves this resolution, it will be submitted to the Corpus Christi District office of the Texas Department of Transportation (TXDOT), which in mm will submit it to the TXDOT office in Austin which reviews speed limit revisions. In addition, the City of Corpus Christi will conduct its own traffic study, including speed limit and traffic accident surveys, on that specific portion of FM 2444. He said in about two weeks staff will complete the study and forward it to TXDOT, which may take as long as two months to respond to the city's recommendation and traffic study. Mr. Seiler said if TXI)OT accepts the city's recommendation, the matter will be taken to the Texas Transportation Commission, which would conduct a hearing and set a minute order in support of the speed limit reduction. Council Members Garrett and Gonzales said they wanted to ensure that city officials' and neighbors' concerns about the safety of FM 2444 are communicated to TXDOT. There were no comments from the audience. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes: 15. RESOLUTION NO. 024334 Resolution expressing the City of Corpus Christi's strong opposition to the 55 MPH speed limit on FM Highway 2444 (Staples Street) between King Trail Drive and the south city limit and that this speed limit be reduced to less than 55 MPH at the earliest possible opportunity. The foregoing resolution passed by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero, Cooper, Garrett, Gonzales, Kiunison, and B. Longoria voting "Aye"; J. Longoria and Scott absent. Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 16, financing team for the general obligation bonds. There were no comments fi.om the audience. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes: 16. M2001-008 Motion approving the selection of the Financial Advisor, M.E. Allison & Co., Inc.; Senior Managing Underwriter, BancOne; Co-Managing Underwriter, Loop Capital Markets; and Bond Counsel, McCall, Parkhurst & Horton. The foregoing motion passed by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero, Cooper, Garrett, Gonzales, Kinnison, and B. Longoria voting "Aye"; J. Longoria and Scott absent. Minutes - Regular Council Meeting January 9, 2001 Page 11 Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 17, South Texas Water Alliance. City Attorney Bray explained that Senate Bill 1, which was passed by the 1999 Texas Legislature, created a new framework for Texas water law that relies heavily on regional efforts. He said Corpus Christi has been participating with other entities in a regional water plan, which will be put into a state water plan with the other regional plans by the Texas Water Development Board. Mr. Bray said the question has been raised whether entities in Corpus Christi's general region (the Lavaca-Navidad River Authority, the Nueces River Authority, the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority, the San Antonio River Authority, and the San Antonio Water System) can form an alliance with Corpus Christi to share resources for the mutual benefit of all involved. He said the proposed resolution would authorize staff to explore such an agreement in order to bring it back to the City Council. One example of shared resources could be the Maxy Rhodes Pipeline, of which the city uses 40,000 acre-feet of the pipeline's 112,000 acre-feet of capacity. He said three river authorities (Guadalupe-Blanco, Lavaca-Navidad, and Nueces) have approved similar resolutions. There were no comments from the audience. Responding to Council Member Scott, Mr. Bray said it is possible that entities south of Corpus Christi could be involved in such an alliance. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows: 17. RESOLUTION NO. 024335 Resolution authorizing the City Manager or his designee to negotiate an agreement relating to the formation of and participation in the South Texas Water Alliance; and directing him to bring same to the City Council for its consideration. The foregoing resolution passed by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero, Cooper, Garrett, Gonzales, Kinnison, B. Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye"; J. Longoria absent. Mayor Neal announced the executive session (Item 18), pursuant to Texas Government Code Section 551.071, regarding City claim to Texas Municipal League Intergovernmental Risk Pool for damage to the City Hall building. The Council went into executive session. The Council returned from executive session. Mayor Neal called for the City Manager's report. Mr. Garcia said that next week the Council will have a joint luncheon meeting at noon with the Convention and Visitors Bureau Board. Items scheduled for the regular meeting that day include the quarterly update on the Wesley Seale Dam Minutes - Regular Council Meeting January 9, 2001 Page 12 project, water supply plan, and police negotiations. He said the Metrocom Board met yesterday and the target date for initiating joint operations is February 20, 2001. For several weeks prior to that date, staffwill be testing the system. In addition, the Council will have a meeting on health insurance issues on January 30th. The Mayor distributed evaluation forms for the City Manager and City Secretary to the Council members and asked them to complete the forms and return them to the Mayor's Office by January 16th. He said an executive session on that issue will be scheduled for January 23rd. Dr. Gon?ales requested that staff prepare a resolution in support of Senator Carlos Truan's efforts to increase the membership of the Port Board. Mr. Garreti commented on a profusion of garbage at Kid's Place at Cole Park. He also asked about the status of the recognition for the LaBonte brothers. Mr. Garcia said there are at least three options which staff plans to bring back to the Council for their approval. Mrs. Longoria said the Administrative Analysis Committee met and they will be reviewing proposals for auditing services. Mr. Scott announced that Council Member John Longoria's wife, Sonia, had a baby boy on January 8th. Mr. Scott also asked about a police officer's concern regarding the active list for the police academy. Mr. Garcia said that is one of the time-sensitive issues which need to be addressed in the police negotiations. He said the Corpus Christi Police Officers Association's (CCPOA) preference is to have a completed contract which deals with all the negotiable issues to put before their membership rather than piecemeal it; however, that makes the negotiations more complex. Mr. Noe said staffhas asked the CCPOA to take the active list issue as a single-issue amendment apart from the rest of the process. He added that he has a meeting scheduled on January 10th with the CCPOA president, which he will brief the Council about next Tuesday. Mr. Colmenero requested the status of possible traffic control devices around the new H-E-B store at the intersection of Port and Tarlton. He also asked staff to respond to Mr. Gordy's complaint regarding information from the Legal Department and illegal signs. Mr. Kinnison said he hoped that the recognition for Terry and Bobby LaBonte would be a large event to which the LaBontes would be invited. He also noted that the City Council elections are approaching and he asked the City Secretary to ensure that Council candidates are aware of the sign regulations. There being no further business to come before the Council, Mayor Neal adjourned the Council meeting at 4:20 p.m. on January 9, 2001. 2 COUNCIL MEMORANDUM RECOMMENDATION: Motion approving the purchase of 1,300 traffic sign faces, 3,000 aluminum sign blanks, 300 extruded aluminum sign blades and 2,000 traffic sign posts in accordance with Bid Invitation No. BI-0062-0 lwith the following companies for the following amounts, based on low bid meeting specifications and low bid for a total of $47,499.50.

ISSUE: The City of Corpus Christi International Airport has never capitalized on the market potential for large-scale air and highway intermodal cargo operations. There are no existing leasable facilities on the airport to support this activity. Development of air and highway intermodal cargo capability will create airport revenue, new jobs, and provide access to intermodal transportation for both local and regional businesses. Beyond the benefits to local and regional businesses, development of cargo activity at the airport will create a new link in the North-South intermodai system connecting Canada to Latin America. This project is a necessary and important step in successfully marketing the City to prospective cargo carders and facility developers. REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Council must approve expenditures exceeding $15,000. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: None CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: submitted. Staff recommends approval of the contract as BOARD/COMMITTEE REVIEW: Airport Board recommended approval of the contract as submitted on December 13, 2000. G _,~'.~. ~.. Interim D~rector of Aviation ADDITIONAL SUPPORT MATERIAL Background Information X AGENDA MEMORANDUM ADDITIONAL SUPPORT MATERIAL BACKGROUNDINFORMATION Present Conditions: Current cargo operations are limited to small parcel, express mail and airline belly cargo. Airline cargo is in decline due to the smaller size of aircraft service the City. Southwest Airlines is the only volume provider of cargo services. All time sensitive or perishable air-worthy cargo leaves and arrives by trucks operating from forwarders in San Antonio, Austin and Houston. The Airport is ideally positioned to capitalize on air and highway cargo due to its proximity to other cargo transportation systems; highway, rail and the Port of Corpus Christi. To attract the interest of cargo carriers and facility developers, the City must demonstrate sufficient demand data based on research by an unbiased third party that specializes in air service development. Project to Date: The City's Purchasing Department verified that there are no local businesses that are capable of performing this work in part or in whole as prescribed by City Policy (P-8.0 Rev. 1993). The City Manager was informed (see attached memo dated December 14, 2000) that the Airport did obtain prior approval to issue an RFP nor was an RFP issued to local businesses regarding this type of service. An RFP was issued in September, 2000. The Request for Proposals was published in both the weekly newsletter of the American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE), and in the RFP/RFQ section of their web site (www.airpormet.org). Publication was also made on the web site of the Corpus Christi Airport which is accessible via its own URL (www.corpuschristiairport.com) and via hyperlink from the City of Corpus Christi home page. A selection was made from among the three firms that submitted qualified proposals prior to the October 13 deadline. Kiehl Hendrickson Group will begin the project in January 2001 with estimated completion no later than June 2001. In addition to the analysis, deliverables include 35 copies of the final report suitable for use as marketing support documentation, and three electronic copies of the final report. 8 AGENDA MEMORANDUM DATE: January 9, 2001 SUBJECT: FY2000 / 2001 Weed and Seed Program Grants AGENDAITEM: Item A.

The Steering Committee limited grants to a maximum total of $25,000 per request. Groups could request no more than three proposals for funding. The Weed and Seed Steering Committee met to review and listen to presentations given by the applicants on October 12, 2000. During the Weed & Seed Steering Committee meeting, the Committee voted to fund more agencies from the last RFP if and when monies became available. Prior year carry over funds in the amount of $ 50,000 are now available. During the December 7th meeting, the Committee selected proposals prioritized from the last RFP selection (October 19, 2000). A priority list of projects to receive funds was developed and as a result of their review, they recommended funding include the 4 listed proposals: $10,000 for the YMCA of Corpus Christi, Northside Outreach Programs. These are prevention programs targeting Iow income families. The summer basketball league and summer swim program provide positive alternatives in an area plagued with drug and alcohol abuse, gang violence and other negative behaviors that threaten the health of children on the northside. $10,000 for the Corpus Christi IceRays Program. The Roller Rays program is to teach youth of Corpus Christi the sport of hockey, while developing better discipline, self- esteem, and communication skills in a positive atmosphere.

ISSUE: National, state and local research has proven that a comprehensive communication and education plan is needed to prevent underage drinking and impa'tred driving. The recent Youth Opportunities United Middle School/Junior High Student Survey - 2000 indicates that the use of alcohol and drugs by students, and the associated problems, are much higher in Nueces County compared to state statistics. The proposed project will communicate to youth and their parents about the legal and physical consequences of underage drinking and impaired driving. REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Council action is required to authorize the City Manager or his designee to apply for the grant. IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE: The deadline to submit the grant proposal is January 22, 2001. RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff recommends that the Council pass a resolution authorizing the City Manager or his designee to apply for the Texas Department of Transportation Grant. Susan Cable Director of Communications and Quality Management Background Information The Texas Department of Transportation announced in December 2000 that proposals for Highway Safety Plan (HSP) projects would be accepted until January 22, 2001 and should address one or more of 13 program areas. One HSP program area, alcohol and other drugs countermeasures, includes public information programs on alcohol and driving, especially targeted to youth, and implementation of innovative programs to combat impaired driving. A goal for projects in this area is to decrease the number of alcohol-involved collisions and fatalities, and the number of underage alcohol-impaired drivers. This communications and awareness campaign will complement the efforts of the Corpus Christi Police Department to target and reduce underage drinking and impaired driving. The City of Corpus Christi, in partnership with the Coastal Bend Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse (CBCADA), a program fimded by the Texas Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse, in conjunction with the Community Coalition Program, proposes to conduct a comprehensive communications plan designed to increase awareness of students, parents and the community of the serious consequences of underage drinking and drug abuse and impaired driving. The three-year comprehensive communications plan will include 12 public service announcements; six 30-minute programs to be used in presentations and education, as well as broadcast on access television; two tri-fold brochures, three utility bill inserts and on-site communications. In addition, the City of Corpus Christi will contract with CBCADA for 200 hours of presentations to area high schools and colleges by an Education Intervention Specialist.

Curtis on 01/05/01 at 11:19 A.M. 13 AGENDA MEMORANDUM AGENDA iTEM: Recommend that a resolution be passed expressing the desire of the City of Corpus Christi to host the American Bowling Congress Tournament in 2006, and authorizing the City Manager to provide the American Bowling Congress with $50,000 per year for five years, free rental of the Bayfront Plaza Convention Center Exhibit Hall and related in-kind services, subject to appropriation. BACKGROUNDINFORMATION: In 1992, the City hosed the annual American Bowling Congress Tournament and 'Convention. It is estimated by the Convention & Visitor's Bureau that approximately 45,000 bowlers attended the tournament and injected approximately $40,000,000 into the local economy. In order to land this tournament, the City had to make many commitments to the American Bowling Congress. To compete for the 2006 tournament, the City will have to make similar commitments. What follows is a listing of the incentives, which will comprise the City's bid for the 2006 tournament: A cash subsidy of approximately $500,000 to help pay for the construction of the bowling lanes at the Convention Center. Of this, $250,000 will be paid by the City and $250,000 will be paid by the Corpus Christi Convention and Visitors Bureau. Free use of the Convention Center's Exhibit Hall from the first part of January, 2006 through the first part of July, 2006 for the tournament itself and free use of all facilities for a week in March, 2006 for the ABC Convention. The approximate value to the City for the loss of potential revenues is $85,000. In addition, the City can expect to absorb increased utility costs of approximately $200,000 to cover the costs of supplemental around-the-clock air conditioning, lighting and pin-spotter power. Special services personnel with an approximate value of $140,000. This includes security guards, ticket sellers, P.A. operators, ushers, paramedic, and an electrician. If we are successful in bid for 2006 American Bowling Congress Tournament, the total cost to the City over the next several years is expected to be about $700,000. This includes the $250,000 we will give to them prior to the event and the estimated $450,000 in expenses we will incur the year that they are here. To help offset some of these costs, Hotel/Motel Tax revenues are expected to increase by approximately $425,000 in FY 2005-2006 as a result of this event. However, about 40% of this increase ($170,000) will go to the Convention & Visitors Bureau. During this event in 1992, there was also an increase of sales tax of approximately $400,000 (1992 dollars). Deputy City Manager Harold R.

Huff, Inc. for the construction of new traffic signal improvements funded by the approved 2000 Bond Program (Bond Issue Project 34), subject to appropriation of funds. ISSUE: An annual supply agreement construction contract is the desired process for the most expeditious construction of new traffic signal improvements following the approval of the 2000 Bond Program. REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: City Council approval is required for supply contracts exceeding $15,000 in value. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the motion and appropriation ordinance as presented. ',~g~ I~. I~scobar, P.E. ' E)irector of Engineering Services Attachments: Additional Background Information 1. Exhibit 1 - Bid Tabulation 2. Exhibit 2 - Locations of Signal Improvements 3. Exhibit 3- Project Budget AglVternVCH.DVS (Signal Construction Work Annual Supply Agreement for New Traffic Signal Installations, Page 1 of 3) AGENDA MEMORANDUM ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION Background Information: Bids were received on January 3, 2001 for a traffic signal construction annual supply contract to construct new traffic signal improvements funded by the approved 2000 Bond Program. The supply contract will provide a more expedited construction of the new signal improvements committed in the bond election, as opposed to the City purchasing the equipment and using its own work forces to construct the signal improvements. Traffic signal construction supply contracts have become routine in most large cities and with the Texas Department of Transportation districts throughout the state. The supply contracts are also particularly important to the City of Corpus Christi which is utilizing its traffic signal personnel predominantly on forced and preventive maintenance, small construction projects, and optimization of the City's traffic signal systems. The proposed contract provides for the identified improvements to be completed within a 12-month period from date of execution. Location and Scope of Signal Construction Projects: In each of the City Council's series of public meetings on the planned '2000 Bond Issue', Staff identified a list of 'Priority' and "Candidate' signal project locations which would be funded by the $1.0 million allocation for new signal improvements. This construction supply agreement will provide signal improvements at the seven 'Priority' locations (see Exhibit 2) identified at the public meetings. The locations are: 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Staples Street @ Lipes Boulevard Staples Street @ Timbergate Drive Saratoga Boulevard @ Rodd Field Road Kostoryz Road @ Sunnbrook Drive Carancahua Street @ Coopers Alley (pedestrian-activated flashers) Ocean Drive (~ Cole Park (pedestrian activated flashers) Evehart Road @ Schanen Boulevard and Shea Parkway (pedestrian-activated flashers) The scope of construction under this contract will provide "turn-key" construction of the signal improvements, including purchase and installation of traffic signal mast arms, signal controllers, traffic and pedestrian signals, signal control cable, back-lit overhead street name signs, crosswalk - stop bar pavement markings, and accessibility ramps and sidewalk improvements (where needed). Additional New Si.qnal Construction Locations: Funds remaining from the $1.0 million allocation for new signal improvements will be used to install new traffic signals at an estimated four or five of the remaining 'Candidate' locations (Exhibit 2) identified during the Council's public meetings. Traffic conditions and related safety issues at the remaining candidate locations are very dynamic at this time and may change due to impending new development and street improvements. Therefore, additional time is necessary to continue the Staff's surveys of these candidate sites during year 2001 to assure the remaining funds will be used for the highest priority sites. Prior City Council Actions: The City Council has previously approved three traffic signal construction supply contracts: --December, 1992...($ 86,875) --March, 1994 ........($190,940) --April, 1996 ............ ($ 266,675) --August, 1997 ........ ($ 470,740) (Signal Construction Work Annual Supply Agreement for New Traffic Signal Installations, Page 2 of 3) Future Council Actions: One further Council action will be required related to Bond Issue Project #34, and there are two related bond projects for which Council action will be required in the near future: (1) Bond Issue Project # 34 - Council approval of a construction contract for four or five remaining new signal projects from the list of 'Candidate locations (Exhibit 2) (2) Bond Issue Project # 35 - Council approval a construction contract for turn-key upgrading of four existing traffic signal locations (3) Bond Issue Project # 35 and #36 - Council approval of City purchase of traffic signal control equipment for City force installation of signal upgrades and synchronization/optimization improvements. Bid Results: The Iow bid of $ 585, 450 by V.C. Huff, Inc. is lower than the engineer's project cost estimate of $ 650,000. One other bid ($ 791,265.80) was received for this project by the firm of Austin Traffic Signal Construction, based out of Austin, Texas. This limited response is attributed to the specialized nature of traffic signal construction work and few skilled contractors specializing in this type of work. Contractor Reputation: V.C. Huff, Inc. is a highly experienced and reputable local contractor that has performed extensive traffic signal construction and maintenance work in Corpus Christi (for both the City of Corpus Christi and Texas Department of Transportation) and throughout the state since the early 1980's. V.C. Huff, Inc. has been awarded four previous signal construction supply contracts. Its performance on these previous contracts with the City of Corpus Christi has been excellent. Due to the specialization of signal construction work in this contract, there is no minority business enterprise participation requirement, although the contractor's aggregate work force satisfies the 40% minority participation requirement. Funding: City Council is being requested to appropriate funds under a separate agenda item in the January 16 Council meeting which will fund the improvements under this contract.

The eight-part environmental video program features water management in cities throughout the Gulf South, including the cities of Houston, Mobile, New Orleans, Pensacola, and Corpus Christi. The series, which will be broadcast on PBS stations, presents both the needs and demands of regulatory agencies and environmental groups, and the responsive and often innovative efforts of city governments. Corpus Christi Water, Wastewater, Storm Water and Solid Waste Service departments were spotlighted in the series as progressive and innovative city programs. A short introduction to the video series will be shown to City Council, with no handouts. Susan Cable Director of Communications and Quality Management Background Information In February 2000, representatives and production crews from the University of New Orleans Urban Waste Management and Research Center visited Corpus Christi to film operations and programs related to water management of the City Water, Wastewater, Storm Water Engineering, and Solid Waste Service departments. The series focused on management, problems and innovative solutions. The filming included an interview of the Mayor at the bayfront discussing the importance of environmental responsibility. On-site interviews and production included the Whitecap and Allison Wastewater Treatment Plants, the outfall at Nile and Ennis Joslin, the Oso Parkway Water Quality Demonstration Project, retention ponds at the Lakes subdivision, Misty Winds construction site, Ingram ready-mix plant, Pump Station "A' at Power and Water, Crossgate Ditch, a Storm Water Quality Monitoring Station, a typical residential inlet, the Household Hazardous Waste facility, and City Hall to review education and outreach initiatives such as videos and public service announcements. City staff were honored to be selected to participate in this project and to be spotlighted as an innovative city. 17 AGENDA MEMORANDUM DATE: January 10, 2001 SUBJECT: Wesley Seale Dam Spillway Stabilization Project AGENDA ITEM: Quarterly presentation on Wesley Seale Dam Stabilization Project by Freese & Nichols. ISSUES: The City Council directed staff to provide periodic updates on the Wesley Seale Dam Stabilization Project. A quarterly presentation (October 2000 to December 2000) is necessary to comply with this directive. PROJECT STATUS: The project status is provided by the consultant engineer's report in the Council packet. The project is nearing completion with a projected completion date in March 2001. The contract provides for 912 calendar days with project completion by January 15, 2002. All stabilization work is complete and Freese and Nichols recommend the lake level be allowed to return to the maximum conservation pool level of 94.0-feet mean sea level (msl). The City's independent Board of Consultants have reviewed and concur with the recommendation. FUTURE COUNCIL ACTION: Staff is reviewing security requirements associated with the City's water supply sources. Council appropriation of a federal grant for Choke Canyon Reservoir was the first phase of the need to upgrade security at all City water supply sources. Council will be requested to authorize an amendment of the engineering contract with Freese and Nichols to provide necessary security improvements at Wesley Seale Dam. Funds are available from the current engineering contract (construction phase services) due to the eady completion of the project. ,,~wEduardo Gara~a, P.E. Water Superintendent scobar, P.E.
