Mayor Neal called the meeting to order in the Council Chambers of City Hall.
The invocation was delivered by Father Bob Dunn, Most Precious Blood Catholic Church,
following which the Pledge of Allegiance to the United States flag was led by Council Member John
Longoria. City Secretary Chapa called the roll and verified that the necessary quorum of the Council
and the required charter officers were present to conduct the meeting. Mayor Neal called for approval
of the minutes of the regular Council meeting of January 23, 2001. A motion was made and passed
to approve the minutes as presented.
Mayor Neal called for petitions from the audience.
Dr. Bill Farmer, 622 Atlantic St., said he was representing the New Hearts Transplant
Support Group, which assists all persons who have received a major organ transplant. He said he
received a new heart three years ago. He noted that there are no transplant facilities in Corpus
Christi, so a vast majority of transplant patients go to Galveston, Houston or San Antonio. Dr.
Farmer said the city's health insurance requires that the procedure be performed in Dallas. He urged
the Council to direct staffto address that situation. City Manager Garcia said the Council will be
reviewing the city's health care plan at their next meeting on February 13th.
Mr. Jack Ussery, 6234 Norchester, encouraged people to join the Purple Martin Society (at
no charge) and to pick up plans to build a bird house for the Purple Martins at the Gulf Coast
Humane Society. He said the Purple Martins come here every year from South America.

Ms. Dorothy Kucera, 4637 Wilma, said people are working to raise $2,019,000 for the
expansion and renovation of the Art Center on Shoreline Drive. She said the center received a
$195,000 grant from the Meadows Foundation for the project, and the balance they need to raise is
$163,000. She said they are grateful for the Council's support.
Mr. Jack Gordy, 310 Norton St., said that in the last 12 months, no one has been prosecuted
in Corpus Christi for violation of the Highway Beautification Act and the city's highway
beautification ordinance. He said the city sent a letter to the Regional Transportation Authority on
November 9, 2000 regarding signs in the rights-of-way in violation of the state law. He said he
counted 40 signs offCrosstown Expressway between Gollihar and Leopard that are violating the law.
Mr. Abel Alonzo, 1701 Thames, said he was speaking on behalf of Forward Corpus Christi.
He thanked the City Manager and senior staff for their efforts on the bond issue last November. He
said Forward Corpus Christi is an inclusive group interested in the city's economic development and
they will continue to monitor the city's progress on the bond projects.
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 28, creation of the Committee for Persons with
Disabilities. City Secretary Chapa explained that the Mayor's Committee for People with Disabilities
asked the Mayor to consider establishing, through ordinance, a Committee for Persons with
Disabilities which can advise the Council on related issues. Mayor Neal called for public comment.
Mr. Dick Johnson, Vice-Chairperson of the Mayor's Committee for People with Disabilities,
thanked the Council for considering creating the new standing committee.
Mr. Jon Harwood, Parliamentarian, also spoke in favor of forming the new committee.
Mayor Neal noted that the committee would serve as an advisory body to the Council and
the City Manager regarding issues affecting persons with disabilities in Corpus Christi. He said it
will consist of nine members serving staggered terms. He thanked the members of the Mayor's
Committee for People with Disabilities for their input.
Responding to Council Member Gonzales, Mr. Chapa said the whole Council will be voting
on the members of the new committee, as established in the ordinance. He added that the
Chairperson of the committee will be a voting member of the Human Relations Commission and the
Building Official of the city will be an ex-officio, non-voting member of the new committee.
Council Member Colmenero commented favorably on this proposal. Dr. Gonzales suggested
that a representative of the Park and Recreation Department serve as an ex-officio member to ensure
that accessibility issues in parks and recreational facilities are addressed. Mayor Neal said the
Council could pass the ordinance on first reading and have the Mayor's Committee meet with Mr.
Chapa regarding possible amendments (such as Dr. Gonzales' suggestion) prior to the second
reading. Mr. Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:

FIRST READING ORDINANCE
Ordinance providing for the creation of the Committee for Persons with Disabilities and its
purpose, membership, roles, powers and duties.
The foregoing ordinance passed on first reading as follows: Neal, Colmenero, Cooper,
Garrett, Gonzales, Kinnison, B. Longoria, and J. Longoria voting "Aye"; Scott absent.
Mayor Neal referred to the presentations on the day's agenda. The first presentation was the
quarterly update on the spaceport effort. Mr. Ray Covey, Director of Economic Development
Programs for Texas with AEP, explained that this effort was begun in 1998 because of a request for
qualifications from Lockheed Martin. He said they have set their sights on a particular company,
Space Access LLC, which appears to have the necessary technology to satisfy the needs of the future.
Mr. Covey said the Texas Aerospace Commission (TAC) and other entities have identified
three potential sites in Texas to locate a spaceport: Fort Stockton, Brazoria County, and in Kenedy
County 60 miles south of Corpus Christi. He said the South Texas Spaceport Consortium, comprised
of organizations spanning over I0 counties, has been formed to support the South Texas site. The
consortium's board of governors consists of several city and county elected officials and
representatives from higher education institutions, economic development corporations, and other
entities. He also announced that "Spaceport Day" will be held in Austin on February 21st.
Mr. Covey said that in order for Texas to successfully compete for a spaceport site, the TAC
is requesting $3.1 million to allow the three spaceport authorities to conduct environmental impact
studies, spaceport licensing, and other studies in anticipation of being selected as a site. In addition,
there is a request to establish a trust fund for spaceport activities.
Mr. Covey then responded to questions from Mayor Neal and other Council members. He
said the consortium has engaged Olivarfi and Associates to help prepare for the "Spaceport Day" in
Austin, and the board will meet this week to finalize the plans. He said Space Access has indicated
their interest in a Texas spaceport site and the consortium has been working with them, but other
companies are developing technology and could be potential users of a spaceport as well.
The second presentation was regarding options for a third golf facility. Mr. Tony Cisneros,
Director of Park and Recreation, said that during their retreat in May 1999, the Council identified
the need for a third golf facility and later that November, request for interest packets were sent to
golf facility development teams. Based on that information, in July 2000 request for proposal (RFP)
packets were sent to 20 development teams, but no responses were received by the October 10, 2000
due date. He said some of the concems raised by the development teams included the location of the
proposed golf course on 300 acres near the J.C. Elliott Landfill, which is still in operation, and the
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting

inability of the city to guarantee the use of treated effluent for irrigation.
Using a computer presentation, Mr. Cisneros then described the following options: light the
executive nine-hole course at the Gabe Lozano Golf Center; build an additional nine holes at the Oso
Beach Golf Course; build a third golf facility at the Cayo del Oso city property; purchase an existing
daily fee golf facility if offered for sale; build a third golf facility at a location that is yet to be
purchased; wait and build a third golf course at the Elliott Landfill after it closes; maintain the status
quo with both existing golf facilities; or perform a market analysis/feasibility study to assess possible
options for the city to pursue.
Mr. Cisneros responded to several Council questions and comments on each of the options.
With regard to the use of effluent as irrigation, City Manager Garcia said the city is holding
discussions with the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission regarding the use of treated
effluent as part of the city's required water releases. Council Member Gonzales said there are ways
to design a golf course without the need for extensive irrigation. Mr. Cisneros said at one time there
was a possibility of using donated land in the northwest area, but it was tied to an unsuccessful
proposal for a factory outlet center. Council Member Betty Jean Longoria asked about a possible site
near the airport, and Mr. Garcia said staff can look into it. Council Member John Longoria asked
staffto also follow up on the northwest site.
Dr. Gonzales noted that the sport of golf is a money-making industry, and he said staff needs
to illustrate the financial benefits associated with the various options. Mr. Cisneros said that the
city's golf centers are mn as enterprise operations; i.e., whatever monies they bring in are used to pay
for those facilities. He noted that currently there is a golf surcharge to raise funds to build a third golf
facility. There has been discussion about using those monies to improve the existing golf facilities
or establishing an additional surcharge for needed capital improvements.
Mr. Cisneros then discussed the following funding options: utilize the current golf surcharge
revenues, which average $100,000 per year and total approximately $300,000 to date; establish an
additional golf surcharge of $1 to $2 per golf round; or utilize a future bond issue (the funding
amount would be dependent upon the number of proposed golf facility projects). He said staff is
asking that the Council allow them to issue requests for proposals to firms which specialize in golf
market analyses and feasibility studies.
Mayor Neal referred to the option of building an additional nine holes at the Oso Beach
Course, and he asked how the city could fund that project. Deputy City Manager Noe said the city
could use a certificate of obligation, in which case the city would use the revenues from the
enterprise fund to pay back the bonds, but there is also the secondary pledge of the property taxes,
which does not require voter approval. Mr. Noe said the second option would be to use a revenue
bond, but there may be difficulty in obtaining a feasibility study to show the bond holders that this
is a viable project. A brief discussion ensued about building the additional nine holes and making
the Oso Beach facility a first-class course at an estimated cost of $1.5 million. Mr. Garcia said the
plan would involve increasing the golf surcharge to pay the annual debt service on the bonds. Mr.
Cisneros discussed the current fees and surcharges.

Council Member Kinnison questioned the need to hire a finn to conduct a market analysis
and prepare financial information; he said the city can do that internally. He also said he was
interested in the constmction of a third golf facility. Dr. Gonzales said the city should approach this
as a major economic development project and have experts determine what the golfing needs are in
Corpus Christi. He said they also need to seek the input of local golfers and golf associations.
Mr. Longoria said that adding holes to either of the two existing courses creates more wear
and tear on them. He also said he believes city staffhas the capability of preparing the market and
financial information. Mr. Noe said if the city was to issue bonds for a project based on revenues
generated fi.om the facilities, the city would need an outside feasibility study to present to the bold
holders and rating agencies. He said if the city owned the land already or it was donated, a new golf
facility would cost $4 million to $6 million. Additional discussion ensued.
Mayor Neal said there appeared to be a consensus of the Council that they were not interested
in the following options: lighting the executive course at Lozano; purchasing an existing golf facility;
or waiting to build a golf course at the landfill after it closes. They were in agreement about looking
into the options of building a facility at the Cayo del Oso or on other purchased or donated land, or
building an additional nine holes at Oso. The Mayor asked staff to bring proposals back to the
Council for a vote at their next meeting on February 13th. Dr. Gonzales said he did not want to
completely rule out lighting the executive course at Lozano.
The third presentation was the quarterly update on the 2000 Bond Issue projects. Mr. Angel
Escobar, Director of Engineering Services, explained that the presentation referred to Items 5-13 on
the day's consent agenda. He said he would be addressing the first eight contracts (Items 5-12),
consisting of public health and safety, park and recreation, and museum improvements. He noted that
the architectural and engineering contracts were all awarded to local finns.
Mr. Escobar said staffexplained these projects in detail to the City Major Projects Advisory
Committee, as well as to the architects and engineers, affected city departments, and local
architectural associations. He pointed out that staff has compiled extensive engineering standards
which were distributed to the Council. Mr. Escobar referred to graphs illustrating the time lines for
each of these bond projects and he responded to Council members' questions. Mayor Neal called for
a brief recess.
Upon reconvening, Mr. Kevin Stowers, Acting Assistant Director of Engineering Services,
introduced Mr. Raymond Gignac of Gignac & Associates; Andrew McLean of Thompson, Ventulett,
Stainback & Associates (TVS); and Bernardo Forte-Brescia of Arquitectonica (ARQ).
Utilizing a computer presentation, Mr. Gignac said that for the last two years his finn has
been following the planning for the convention center expansion and arena construction. He said they
are aware of the goals and vision for the city and they recognize that this is an oppommity to redefme
the Corpus Christi bayfi.ont. As a result, they sought to assemble a design team with the best

credentials. Mr. Gignac said TVS is a nationally recognized leader in convention center design, with
over 30 projects to date. They have waterfront master planning experience in such cities as
Savannah, Mobile, Long Beach, and San Juan, and their firm consists of over 260 design
professionals. In addition, TVS has experience with convention centers in San Antonio, Arlington,
Lubbock, and Irving.
Mr. Gignac said ARQ, an intemationally renowned architecture finn, has been involved with
the newest and most innovative arenas and stadia, including in Miami, Atlanta, New York, and Sao
Paulo. ARQ also has waterfront design experience, having completed projects in Miami, San Juan,
and San Francisco, and their Texas projects include the Houston Convention Center Hotel and the
Dallas White Rock Development. Mr. Gignac said his firm has 25 years of experience in Corpus
Christi. He said they have an understanding of constmctability issues and experience with multi-
consultant projects. Mr. Gignac also described the credentials of Sasaki Associates (in association
with Robert Gignac of Corpus Christi), the landscape architects; and Walter P. Moore and Bovay
Engineers (in association with Govind & Associates).
Using photographs and drawings, Mr. McLean of TVS and Mr. Forte-Brescia of ARQ
described several projects they have completed in various cities. Mr. Forte-Brescia described the key
site issues of Corpus Christi's convention center and arena: four-sided site (waterfront, downtown,
highway, and Bayfront Arts and Sciences Park); interacts with the waterfront; includes approaches
from the downtown area; has a presence via the highway and Harbor Bridge; and participates in the
vision of the Bayfront Arts and Sciences Park. Other issues that have to be addressed are concealing
the loading areas and assessing parking options.
Mr. Forte-Brescia said key building issues are: convention center expandability; sense of
arrival; interior and exterior renovation; and visual connection to Corpus Christi Bay. He said TVS
and ARQ will explore connections between the convention center and the arena, and in the
construction of both they will incorporate applicable hurricane codes, address the waterfront
condition, and create a sustainable design. He added that the teams will also address phasing the
development in order to ensure continuing operations. He discussed the firms' familiarity with
multiple bid packages and the importance of small and local business participation. Mr. Escobar then
responded to questions from the Council.
Mayor Neal called for consideration of the consent agenda (Items 5-27). No items were
withheld for discussion. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:

Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
January 30, 2001
Page 13
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 29, Rincon Bayou project. City Attorney Bray
explained that the city has proposed to the Nueces Estuary Advisory Committee that in return for the
city implementing the Rincon Bayou project, all pass-throughs of water would cease, without
implementation of any drought management measures, when levels roached 50% of the reservoir
system capacity.
Mr. Bray reviewed the current agreed order with the Texas Natural Resource Conservation
Commission (TNRCC), which states that when water impounded in the reservoir system is less than
70% of storage capacity, a target amount of 97,000 acm-feet is to be delivered to the Calallen
Monitoring Station or the Nueces Delta according to set targets for each month. In addition, releases
fi.om reservoir system storage shall not be required to satisfy the targeted inflow amounts. He said
when the level reaches less than 40%, pass-throughs may be reduced to 1,200 acre-feet if the city
implements Condition II of the drought plan. In the month the level reaches below 30%, pass-
throughs may be reduced to zero if the city implements Condition III. Mr. Bray then reviewed the
conditions of the drought management plan.
Mr. Bray said the proposed revision to the agreed order states that the city will restore the
Rincon Overflow Channel and evaluate and (if possible) implement improved hydrology measures.
The steps involved are to purchase the necessary easements and land, obtain the permits, and proceed
with construction. He said the city will also design, permit, and construct a delivery system (pipeline)
to transport 2,000 to 3,000 acm-feet per month of water fi.om the Calallen pool directly to the Upper
Rincon Bayou area. The amount transported will not exceed actual pass-throughs required in a
particular month.
Mr. Bray said that the proposal also calls for the city to design, fund and implement a long-
term monitoring plan and for the city to automatically implement specific demand-reduction
measures, depending on the reservoir levels. In tatum, pass-throughs would be limited to 1,200 acm-
feet per month when the reservoir system is between 40% and 30% of capacity, and pass-throughs
would be eliminated when the system is at 30% of capacity. Mr. Ed Garafia, Water Superintendent,
described the location of the proposed pipeline to the Rincon Bayou.
Mr. Bray and Mr. James Dodson, Deputy Executive Director of the Nueces River Authority,
responded to Council members' questions. Mr. Bray said the lowest reservoir level was 25.5% in
1996. He also discussed the beneficial effects of the Mary Rhodes Pipeline. Mr. Dodson said the
additional firm yield fi.om this proposal is estimated to be 3,000 acre-feet per year, and their goal is
to reach an agreement with TNRCC by April. Them were no comments fi.om the audience. City
Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:
29.a. M2001-046
Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute Contract Amendment No.
1 to contract between HDR Engineering, Inc. and the City of Corpus Christi (Motion No.
M2000-011) to provide professional engineering services to assist City efforts on the Rincon
Bayou Project, not to exceed $130,000.

The foregoing motion passed by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero, Garrett, Gonzales,
Kinnison, B. Longoria, and J. Longoria voting "Aye"; Cooper and Scott absent.
Mayor Neal called for the City Manager's report. Mr. Garcia said the next Council meeting
is scheduled for Febrtmxy 13th and items to be discussed include health insurance, street renaming
policy, and golf course options. He reported that there was a break in a line at the Oso Wastewater
Treatment Plant and statTnotified TNRCC and repaired the break. Mr. Escobar further described the
incident. Mr. Garcia also announced that Assistant City Manager Jorge Garza was retiring from the
city and his last day will be January 31,2001. Mayor Neal called for Council concerns and reports.
Responding to Mr. Garrett, Mr. Garcia said fewer and fewer veterinarians have wanted to
participate in the city's licensing program; he added that he will provide a detailed report.
Dr. Gonzales noted that the National League of Cities Congressional City Conference will
be held in Washington, D.C., on March 9-13, 2001. He asked if the Council could change the
meeting date from March 13th so the Council members would not have to leave that conference
early. City Secretary Chapa said that Council Members Melody Cooper and Betty Jean Longoria had
indicated that they would be returning on March 12th. Mayor Neal asked Mr. Chapa to poll the
Council members who will be attending the conference and determine whether that Council meeting
needs to be rescheduled.

Dr. Gonzales also asked whether the new security company had started working at City Hail.
Mr. Garcia said staff will check on the actual start date of the contract. Dr. Gonzales suggested that
prior to the Council elections in April, they consider holding an economic summit with such entities
as the Port of Corpus Christi Authority, Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, Del Mar College,
the Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Economic Development Corporation, and others. Mayor
Neai said he thought that was a good idea and he noted that there is a limited time to hold such an
event prior to the election.
Responding to Mr. Longoria, Mr. Cisneros explained that there was a 14-foot strip of land
that was identified as excess park land in the November election that should not have been identified.
He said South Bay Park was donated to the city at two different times and that strip of land was
contained in the second donation. Mr. Longoria also commented on the carpet that will be used in
the Frost building renovation. Mr. Escobar replied that an addendum to the bid was sent out stating
that the city will accept substitute brands of carpet if they are of equal quality.
Mr. Longoria also asked if fire stations contain sprinklers. Mr. Garcia said there are fire
stations that were built 30 years ago in compliance with the building codes in effect at that time, but
staff will check on their status. However, more recently constructed buildings comply with the
current codes.
Mrs. Longoria thanked staff for their participation in public meetings regarding the Omaha
street improvements and the opening of a sports bar in the northwest. She also referred to a letter
written by Mr. John Morales in which he made several offensive remarks. Mayor Neal said he has
given a copy of that letter to the City Attorney and the City Manager and he wants to know what they
can do about it.
Dr. Gonzaies asked staff to recommend ways to assist airport customers, particularly senior
citizens, with the distances they have to walk in the terminal. Mr. Garcia said he spoke with the
airport staff about vehicles that are used to transport people within airports. He said Corpus Christi's
airport has narrow corridors but staff is reviewing different options.
There being no further business to come before the Council, Mayor Neal adjourned the
Council meeting at 6:18 p.m. on January 30, 2001.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
In 1998, the City decided to become self-insured in its health insurance program to reduce costs and
maintain the program more efficiently. Since that time, the program has not proven self-supporting.
Therefore, the City has implemented cost savings measures on November 1, 2000. These cost-
saving measures included: 1. An expansion of the pre-certification process to include out-patient,
psychiatric, chemical dependency, and emergency room within 48 hours of admittance admissions;
speech and physical tbempy; durable medical equipment in excess of $500; and MRI's and CT
scans; 2. Discharge Planning; 3. Diabetic Care Training; and 4. An agreement with Consultec,
current manager for the pharmacy network, to match the lower bid received from Walgreen Drug
Stores.
Implementation of these measures did not require a plan amendment since they involve only the
administration and the plan grants authority to review all procedures for medical necessity.
Actuarial Study
In October, 2000, an actuary, Craig Rennpage of HCC Employee Benefits, Inc., completed an
analysis of the City's existing medical funding rates for the fiscal year beginning August 1, 2000.
Mr. Rennpage pointed out that each of the plans (excluding Citicare Q-Plus) is under-funded when
active and retirees are combined. He determined that for Citicare and Citicare Q-Plus, premiums
would need to be adjusted by 13.35% as of Augast 1, 2000; for Citicare-Fire, premiums would need
to be adjusted by 21.01% as of Aagust 1, 2000; and for Public Safety Citicare, premiums would
need m be adjusted by 11.77% as of August 1, 2000.
Citicare and Citicare Q-Plus realized premium adjustments in August 1, 2000, but Citicare-Fire and
Public Safety Citicare did not. The employee contribution went fxom $0.46 per pay period to $10.00
per pay period. Since no premiums adjustments were realized for Citicare-Fire and Public Safety
Citicare on August 1, 2000, the actuarial equivalent of the recommended premium adjustments on
March 1, 2001 would be 52.28% for Citicare-Fire and 28.25% for Public Safety Citicare. If the
premium adjustments are not implemented until August 1,2001, the actuarial equivalent of the
recommended premium adjustments would be 162.92% for Citicare-Fire and 41.24% for Public
Safety Citicare.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that no premium adjustments or plan design changes be made for Citicare and
Citicare Q-Phis, premium adjustments be made to Citicare Fire and Public Safety as of Augast 1,
200l and plan design changes be negotiated. For all plans, it is recommended that the funding
methodology on the allocation of premiums between the employee and the City be reviewed in
reference to dependents. Additionally, the City has contracted with the actuary, Mr. Craig Rennpage
of HCC Employee Benefits, Inc., to reevaluate and update the existing actuarial report to reflect
current claims history.
CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
February 6, 2001
AGENDA ITEM:
Presentation on the New Reporting Model mandated by GASB No. 34
ISSUE:
In June 1999, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (G^SB) established a new
framework or ~reporting model" for state and local government financial reports. The
statement was developed to make annual reports easier to understand and more useful to
the people who use govemmentai financial information to make decisions. By implementing
this new ~reporting model", the format of the comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR)
will change. A government-wide presentation of the City's financial position (the pdmary
government and its component units) will be presented, which has a long-term economic
focus. Other changes include elimination of account groups, depreciation for governmental
activities, and recording infrastructure as capital assets and expensing them through
depredation (such as streets, sidewalks, storm drains, street lights, traffic signals, and stop
signs).
For the City of Corpus Chdsti, conversion of the existing financial information into the new
format must occur for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2002.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION:
Resource allocation as necessary to meet GASB No. 34 requirements
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION:
Staff is presenting a summary of the new framework or ~reporting model" as established by
GASB No. 34 for City Council's information. Implementing the changes necessary to
become compliant with this standard will require additional resources and may require
additional time for completion of the comprehensive annual financial report. Implementation
is required by fiscal year ending July 31, 2002. Therefore, the budgetary impact of
additional staff and staff time to implement these changes will need to be built into the
fiscal year 2001-2002 budgetary process.
G. Cruz-Aedo
Director of Financial Services
BACKGROUNDINFORMA~ON
In June 1999, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) established a new

activities.
2) Basic Financial Statements - This will include:
a)
Government-wide statements - Consisting of a 'Statement of Net Assets" and
a "Statement of Activities".
The "Statement of Net Assets' will replace the "Balance Sheet"

versus the fund balance section previously seen on the balance
sheet.
b)
Fund-based financial statements - Consisting of a series of statements that
provide information about the government's major and non-major
governmental and enterprise funds. The focus of these statements will be

The governmental fund statements are similar to the existing
ones: "Governmental Fund Balance Sheet" and "Governmental
Fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures, and Changes in
Fund Balance".
ii.
The proprietary fund statements will include the 'Statement of
Net Assets", the "Statement of Revenues, Expenses, and
Changes in Fund Net Assets", and the "Statement of Cash
Flows".
iii.
The fiduciary fund statements will include the "Statement of Net
Assets" and the "Statement of Changes in Net Assets".
Notes to the financial statements - This will provide information that is
essential to a user's understanding of the basic financial statements.
3)
Required Supplementary Information - A budgetary comparison schedule
comparing original, final, and actual information on the budgetary basis for the
government's general fund and major special revenue funds is required.
An important feature of the govemment-wide financial statements is the requirement for
governments to report all capital assets, including infrastructure, in the government-wide
"Statement of Nat Assets" and report depreciation expense in the "Statement of Activities".
Infrastructure assets do not have to be depreciated, however, if several conditions listed
in Statement No. 34 are met. Disclosure must be made about infrastructure assets in the
required supplementary information (RSI).
Implementation for the City of Corpus Christi of all provisions of GASB No. 34 (except the
retroactive reporting of infrastructure assets) will begin with the fiscal year August 1, 2001 -
July 31, 2002. Prospective reporting of newly acquired, constructed, or significantly
renovated or improved infrastructure assets is required at the effective date of the
statement (fiscal year ending July 31, 2002). Retroactive reporting of existing major general
governmental infrastructure assets is also encouraged at that date. However, governments
will be allowed to report retroactively only major infrastructure assets acquired or
significantly reconstructed or improved dudng the previous 25 years, and are allotted an
additional four years beyond the effective date of the statement to do so (or fiscal year
August 1, 2005 - July 31, 2006).
What Is It?
And Why Is It Such a Big Deal?
What is GASB 34?
â– Sweeping revision of the â–
current financial
reporting model (in place
since 1979).
.â– Adopted in June 1999 by
the Governmental
Accounting Standards
Board (GASB)
• Sets "generally accepted
accounting principles"
(financial reporting rules)
for all state and local
governments.

403 Pages
New Model Overview
â– Two Distinct Financial Statements
• Government -Wide (Major Change)
• Fund -Based (Similar to Current Model)
Government -Wide Statements
â– Consolidated financial
statements for all of the
City's operations
â– Full accrual basis of
accounting
â– Not presented on fund
basis; two major
activities
Governmental
Business -Type
â– Net asset focus:
. Assets -Liabilities =
Net Assets
â– Excludes interfund
transactions (like
internal service funds)
and fiduciary funds (like
trust funds)
â– Costs shown both
"gross" and "net" of
related revenues such
as fees and grants

Other Changes
â– No account groups
â– Depreciation for governmental activities
â– Longer and more complicated notes to meet
disclosure requirements
â– Recording infrastructure as capital assets
and expensing them through depreciation
Streets, sidewalks, bridges, storm drains, street
lights, traffic signals, stop signs
Infrastructure Issues
â– Determining Value: Two Options
• Actual historical cost
• Reasonable estimates for historical costs
â– Depreciating Assets: Two Options
Per "Network" or "Subsystem"
• Traditional: Straight-line over useful Life
• Modified Approach: No depreciation if
maintenance standards are met
Infrastructure: Modified Approach
â– Standards
• Maintain up-to-date
inventory.
• Use objective condition
measurement scale.
• Set condition standards.
• Estimate annual costs to
achieve this standard.
• Perform ongoing condition
assessment (at least
every 3 years).
â– Disclosure
. Actual condition (per
scale) compared with
standard (show results of
last 3 assessments)
. Amount actually spent on
maintenance for the last 5
years compared with
estimate
10
City of Corpus Christi's
Approach to Capital Assets
â– Raise the limit to capitalize assets to a
unit value of $5,000 and a life of more
than one year.
â– Issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) to
provide for an appraisal of all the
General Fixed Assets of the City.
Impact on City Financial Picture
â– Will City Finances Look Better or Worse?
. Fund Level: Little affect.
• Government -Wide Level: Moderate affect.
. Including infrastructure may increase equity.
. But including long-term debt and other liabilities may
decrease equity.
â– Based on the Handful of Cities that Have
Prepared Sample Statements
• Not better or worse just different
12
Timing of Implementation
â– For the City of Corpus Christi,
implementation of all provisions of GASB
No. 34 (except the retroactive reporting
of infrastructure assets) begins with fiscal
years starting after June 15, 2001
(i.e., fiscal year August 1, 2001 - July 31,
2002)
Timing of Implementation
â– For the retroactive reporting of
infrastructure assets, implementation
begins with fiscal years starting after
June 15, 2005
(i.e., fiscal year August 1, 2005 - July 31, 2006)
14
So What's the Big Deal?
â– Basic statements will
be longer and more
complex.
â– More difficult to
prepare and audit—
especially during
conversion.
â– Directly translates
into increased costs,
both initially and
ongoing for:
• Staff resources
• Audit and fees
• Appraisal services for
infrastructure
15
Is the Effort Worth It?
â– New Model Goals â– Very clear it will be
• Improve financial more costly to make
reporting. these changes in the
• Enhance awareness of year of
fiscal issues facing states implementation.
and local governments.
• Recognize the importance
of adequately maintaining
infrastructure.
16
How Much Will It Cost?
w The Short Answer:
Finance staff
resources - One
additional senior
accountant dedicated
to maintaining the
General Fixed Assets
• Cost of an appraisal
all the General Fixed
Assets of the city.
â– Issues (Both Initial
and Ongoing)
. Preparing additional

Why Is "GAAP" Important?

024130.
PRIOR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION:
1. November 27, 2000 - Agreement for Architectural Consultant Services with
Roots/Foster Associates Architects, for a fee not to exceed $4,095.00 for
architectural services for Oso Golf Course Clubhouse Re-Roof.
FUTURE ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION:
None
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Oso Golf Course Clubhouse was originally
constructed in 1967 and consisted of a tar and gravel built-up fiat roof. Minor structural
and cosmetic repairs were done in 1996 in place of total roof reconstruction to stop
leakage at that time. Currently, predominant leaks throughout the facility are causing
damage to the interior. Total roof reconstruction is now required to correct the problem and
prevent further damage to the facility.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project consists of removing the existing roof and installing
a built-up roof on the existing building. Included in the work is new flashing for parapets
and roof top mechanical equipment, replacing rotted plywood deck and wood beams as
encountered, additional nailing of existing plywood deck as needed to meet Windstorm
Building Requirements.
BID INFORMATION: This project consists exclusively of a base bid. The City received
proposals from ten (10) bidders on January 31, 2001. The bid range was from $21,683.00
to $84,417.00. Haeber Roofing Company was the lowest responsive bidder. Three of the
mid-ranged bids were deemed non-responsive due to contractor not using revised proposal
form as required per addendum No. 2. Addendum No. 2 revised the project scope and
added additional work and bid items. The non-responsive bidders did not bid on the work
to be done as reflected in the revised proposal form. Two of the three non-responsive bids
also contained mathematical errors.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
SUBJECT:
Renewal of a Parking Space Lease Agreement with
Trudiehouse, A Joint Venture
221 South Water Street
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: City council approved a Motion on October 30t", 1990
that authorized the execution of the initial 5-year Parking Space lease with
Trudiehouse, a Joint Venture for these same 150 parking spaces. This lease was
renewed again on January 22"~, 1996 by City council for another five year term which
expired on January 21st, 2001.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Contracts in excess of $15,000 require Council
approval.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City purchased the vacated Central Power &
Light company (CP&L) Building at 120 N. Chaparral on October 7t", 1988, and
converted it to the present Police Station and Municipal Court Facility. This building has
a total of 140 on site parking spaces which is an insufficient number. The zoning of this
building is B-5 and requires 262 parking spaces either on-site or within 300 feet of the
facility. The Police Department has determined their actual need to be slightly greater
than the 262 spaces.
There are 150 parking spaces (meeting the 300 feet criteria) two blocks south of the
Police Station, at 221 South Water Street, which are owned by Trudiehouse, a Joint
Venture. The City had a five year lease for these spaces which expired on January 21st,
2001. This parking location, which is well lit and maintained, provides the spaces
necessary for departmental employee' personal vehicles and police vehicle parking.
Staff proposes to enter into another five-year lease for these spaces. The lease
payments have been negotiated at $2,828.20 per month for the first year, $2,941.33
per month for the second year, $3,058.98 per month for the third year, $3,181.34 per
month for the fourth year, and $3,308.59 per month for the fifth year. These amounts
reflect current market rental rate quotations obtained for parking spaces in this
immediate area.
The City's lease encompasses approximately 60% of the Lessor's property. As part of
the lease, the City also agrees to pay for 60% of the lawn maintenance costs, 60% of
the paving repair bills (with a $1,500 limit for the 5 year term), and 100% of the electric
lighting bill for the grounds. The Lessor will contribute $20 a month towards the electric
bill for the Lessor's lawn sprinkler system.
The lease also includes a 60 day cancellation clause effective after the second
anniversary date of the lease.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
SUBJECT: Water Supply, Security and Control Improvements
SUMMARY: The proposed improvements will provide improved information, control,
monitoring and security for the City's key raw water supply facilities. The information,
control, monitoring and security systems provides the necessary data to help optimize
water treatment while protecting the City's water supply.
BACKGROUND: Improvements to City's information, control, monitoring, and security
systems are required due to the size and complexity of the City's raw water supply
facilities. The geographical area of the City's water supply sources and widely disbursed
facilities are contributing factors to this need. The distance to many parts of the system
require an enhanced ability to monitor and control the City's raw water supply facilities.
A review of these needs led to the conclusion an integrated monitoring and security system
was needed for all the City's three major water supply facilities. Dr. Ron Waters (Freese
& Nichols) advised Council dudng the last Wesley Seale Dam quarterly update that
additional work relating to control and security systems would be forthcoming.
Factors contributing to the conclusion include:
1. significant delays between supply system releases, pump station operation and
3.
4.
5.
6.
delivery of water to O. N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant;
automation of raw water supply facilities to minimize staffing requirements;
reduction in the number of operational personnel;
travel time required to reach raw water facilities;
general need for improved security associated with water facilities; and
security issues associated with automated/non-manned facilities.
These factors require that the City be able to collect information, monitor and control the
raw water supply facilities in real time. Raw water information, monitoring and control
provides the basis to modify treatment processes at O. N. Stevens in a timely, efficient
manner. This allows chemicals and other processes to be optimized to accommodate
variations in the soumes and quantities of raw water. The increased efficiency in the use
of chemicals and treatment processes can best be achieved through the proposed remote
information, monitoring, control and security systems.
PRIOR COUNCIL & ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS: (See Exhibit C)
FUTURE COUNCIL ACTIONS: Award of a construction contract.

ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Evolution of the Master Plan Drainage Channel 31 Trust Fund:
In 1985, several land owners (participating owners), including the Corpus Christi Independent
School District (CCISD), began investigating the basic infrastructure needs necessary for
development of an area north of Yorktown Boulevard and east of Staples Street. Included in
this area is the Katie Middle School site. The water grid mains and wastewater trunk systems
for this area were in the process of being installed as part of King's Crossing development.
The water and wastewater trust funds, established by the City in 1982, which are funded by
the imposition of IotJacreage fees, were being used, as they are today throughout the City, to
pay for water and wastewater improvements which serve a large area. A similar system for
drainage was not in place, and unless there was a large development to absorb the drainage
costs, development was hindered, as it is today, in areas without a drainage ouffall in place.
The interested owners (participating owners) implemented a plan for drainage of the area by
providing the initial funding for Drainage Channel No. 31 which included acquisition of right-of-
way, excavation of the channel to Master Plan width, construction of crossing structures under
the existing roadways (Rodd Field and Cimmaron Boulevard), erosion protection structures and
other incidental work. The City utilized its condemnation power to acquire two parcels of land
which could not be acquired by negotiation.
In order to equitably distribute the costs among all properties in the tributary area, the
participating owners established a pre rata fee based upon the area of the tract and the
distance runoff from the tract would utilize the drainage channel. The City's role in this
proposal is the collection of the pro rata charges from both Non-Participating Owners and
Participating Owners and disbursing the funds plus interest to the Trustee of the funding
owners (CCISD, Harris & Charles Katie, and Mark Bratton).
The governing Contract and Agreement was made and entered into between the Trustee
(Mark Bratton) and the City of Corpus Christi on December 31, 1985. An Amendment to the
Contract was authorized by City Council on February 18, 1997.
Prior Council Actions Associated with Master Plan Drainage Channel 31.
Motion approving Offsite Drainage Development Contract with Mark Bratton, Trustee,
providing for acquisition of right of way, excavation of Drainage Channel No. 31,
construction of related structures, and establishment of a pro rata acreage plan for area
Page 1 of 2
served by Channel 31, and City collection of the pro rata acreage fee upon platting,
building permit issuance, or utility service, and dispersing this pro rata fee plus interest
to Trustee on December 31, 1985. (M85-0597)
Resolution authorizing City Manager to take the necessary actions to establish impact
Fees for the Master Plan Drainage Channel 31 improvements, scheduling a public
hearing to receive comment on the adoption of Land Use Assumptions, Capital
Improvements Plan and Impact Fees; appointing the Planning Commission as the
Capital Improvements Advisory Committee on November 26, 1996 (Res. #022773).
Motion amending Offsite Development Contract authorized December 31, 1985,
between Mark Bratton, Trustee, and the City of Corpus Christi to attribute actual costs,
pro rata, to each tract situated within Channel 31 Service Area calculated on an
acreage and use basis with respect to that portion of the cost of the project situated
downstream of each particular tract on February 18, 1997 (M97-046).
Ordinance adopting the Capital Improvements Plan and Impact Fees for Master Plan
Drainage Channel No. 31; amending the platting ordinance to include such fees; and
amending Chapters 13 and 55 of the City Code to reference the Platting Ordinance
Impact Fee provisions on April 22, 1997 (Ord. #022913).
Impact Fee Collection Trigger Point_~ Impact fees are collected at one of the following three
tdgger points, whichever occurs first, within all or any portion of a tract situated within Area 31:
recordation of a subdivision plat;
issuance of a building permit; or
connection to the City's utility systems.
Expiration of Contract Between the City and Trustee: In accordance with the Contract
executed on January 31, 1986, the Offsite Drainage Development Contract between the City
of Corpus Christi and Mark Bratton, Trustee, will terminate on January 31, 2006, the 20th
anniversary of the Contract.
Disbursement of Impact Fees to the Trustee.: The Off=site Drainage Development Contract
requires the immediate disbursement of impact fees to the Trustee upon receipt. As governed
by City Charter, Article IV, Section 5, however, such disbursement requires adoption of an
ordinance appropriating the funds by Council. City Staff will make every attempt to obtain
Council's approval and make payment to the Trustee within 30 days after receipt of funds from
the developer.
Current Development and Disbursement of Fees: Barclay Grove Unit 6 has platted, public
infrastructure has been constructed, and the developer has paid the required drainage fees.
Approval of this action by Council will authorize disbursement of Impact Fees to the Trustee.

ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
BACKGROUND: The development and platting of Southside Community Church, Lot 1
required an extension of 355 linear feet of a 12-inch PVC water line in a utility easement
on the west edge of Lot 1, adjacent to the eastern edge of the Airline Road right-of-way.
The water line ties to the existing 12-inch water line previously installed by the development
of The Vineyards Subdivision to the northwest corner of the church property (see Exhibit
B - Location Map).
The 12-inch water line is eligible for reimbursement as a water grid main in accordance with
the Platting Ordinance. The waterline construction qualified for a reimbursement of
$12,921.50. An acreage fee credit of $3,191.58 was granted. Because Southside
Community Church paid the fee credit, the final reimbursable amount due the church is the
full $12,921.50. Application for reimbursement has been made in accordance with
provisions of the Platting Ordinance. The Application for Waterline Credit, Application for
Waterline Credit, and supporting cost documentation are attached (see Exhibit C -
Reimbursement Application).
CITY ACCEPTANCE: All work is complete, and the waterline improvements have been
inspected and accepted by the City for operation and maintenance.

OVERVIEW:
Background: In June, 1998, Council awarded an engineering contract to Urban
Engineering for the Southside Transmission Main Project - Phase 1 (ONSWTP to
Clarkwood Road). The Staples Street Pumping Plant was considered to be one of
the later phases of the project. However, Iow water pressure has been an ongoing
problem for the City's south side throughout the summers of 1997, 1998 and 1999.
The feasibility report for proceeding with construction of the Staples Street Pumping
Plant concluded that such action would alleviate the Iow-pressure problems during
peak demand hours as an interim measure. Therefore, acceleration of the Staples
Street Pumping Plant project was proposed to meet customer demands for delivery
of adequate water pressure in the south side of Corpus Christi.
The Council-approved 1997 Water Distribution System Master Plan Update
recommended a new Southside Transmission Main from the Stevens Water Plant
to a new pumping plant to alleviate inadequate water supply and pressure problems
experienced during peak demand periods in Pressure Zone 2 (essentially east of
Everhart Road). The new transmission main will substantially increase the hydraulic
capacity of the delivery system from the Stevens Plant and will be the primary
supply source for the Staples Street Pumping Plant.
Parcel Information: These parcels are being acquired to install approximately
4,900 feet of 54-inch waterline. Parcels 31a and 31b are located south of State
Highway 44 and west of FM 2292 in the Clarkwood area. Parcel 31a lies within a
residential property, whereas Parcel 31b consists of vacant farmland. The parcels
consist of a waterline easement, forty- (40) foot wide, containing a total of 4.55
acres. In addition, an eighty- (80) foot wide temporary construction easement
containing a total of 8.12 acres is being acquired adjacent to the waterline
easement.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
Date: February 02, 2001
B~,I..~_(~: Parking Zmprovements at New Federal Courthouse
a. Ordinance amending the Code of Ordinances Chapter 53 - Traffic, Article VIII - Schedules,
Section 53-257 - Parking Meter Zones Established, by adding a new subsection (I) for parking
meter zone 12 on both sides of Water Street (between Belden Street and Power Street) and on
the south Belden Street (between Chaparral Street and Water Street) with a parking meter rate
of $0.25 per hour.
b. Motion authorizing revision of the project scope for the I.H. 37 Sister Cities Parkway project by
including the construction of a 32-space off-street parking lot.
ZSSUE: On-street parking in the immediate area of the new Federal Courthouse necessitates
metered parking controls to allow the public to acquire a variable amount of curbside, on-street
parking time and to place a premium on the value of what will be certain to be highly sought-after
on-street parking immediately adjacent to the courthouse. It is also anticipated that the high level
of new parking demand in the general area of the new courthouse will require a new level of
sustained parking enforcement.
REOUZRED COUNCZL AC'D~ON:
1. New parking meter zones must be established by ordinance approved by the City Council.
2. Council is requested to approve a revised project scope for the LH. 37 Sister Cities Parkway.
PRi'OR COUNCZL ACT'ZON:
1. Approved ordinance authorizing execution of a Use Privilege Agreement with the contractor
constructing the new federal courthouse to use the 1.73 acre area of City property, scheduled
for construction as a portion of the LH. 37 Sister Cities Parkway, as a construction yard for a
two year period (07-28-98)
2. Approved extension of above Use Privilege Agreement to February, 2001 (08-22-00)
1. Approval of the ordinance as submitted

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
Additional Background :[nformation
~: The General Services Administration staff (GSA) and local federal courthouse officials
have met routinely with City Staff to discuss planning and development of the courthouse site and
other issues related to the City. For security reasons and the limited area purchased by the GSA for
the courthouse, the new federal courthouse construction is providing only a limited amount of on-site
parking. A new 61-space off-street parking lot has been constructed on the north side of the
courthouse behind the Chamber of Commerce Building, in conjunction with a few limited spaces
under the courthouse building for the federal judges and federal marshal vehicles, comprises the
parking constructed at the new courthouse. The off-street off-street parking lot would be assigned to
certain federal courthouse staff and for use by the public (including potential federal trial jurors).
Consequently, the City Staff has studied the available on-street parking supply to accommodate the
needs of the majority of the federal courthouse staff as well as the public needing parking access in
close proximity to the courthouse.
City Staff and GSA officials each agreed that on-street parking along the two streets (Belden and
Water Streets) immediately adjacent to the courthouse would be of premium value and to use
parking meters to allow courthouse employees and the general public to acquire variable duration of
on-street parking time in a secure area. It was also recognized that the high level of new parking
demand in the general area of the new courthouse will require a new level of sustained parking
enforcement that could be offset by the revenue generated by parking meters.
Consultations with Courthouse Offieia!_~/U.S. Marshal's Office:
Courthouse officials are agreeable with a $0.25 per hour parking meter rate for the on-street
parking planned on the sections of Water and Belden Streets adjacent to the federal courthouse.
There will be 41 metered parking spaces on these two streets. However, federal officials are also
requesting additional nearby, secure parking be provided for jurors selected for federal cases. To
accommodate this need, the City is proposing construction of an additional 32-space parking
within the area of the planned Sister Cities Parkway (see Exhibit 1). This location is the site of
the previous LH. 37 Expressway right-of-way and Water Street closed for construction of the Sister
Cities Parkway. ~t is also proposed that this new parking lot be metered, although selected jurors
would be allowed to park at meters "hooded" in the new parking lot. The City would be
reimbursed by the federal court for the lost parking meter revenue. Up to 42 jurors could be
seated at the new federal courthouse at any one time.
I.H. 37 Park Imorovemen~:
The city property directly behind the new federal couCchouse has been planned as a landscaped
parkway (Sister Cities Parkway) as part of the original tH. 37 Gateway Park Improvements. This
area ties directly to the new courthouse and, for that reason, provided unimpeded access for
construction. The Use Privilege Agreement approved by the City Council in 1998 provided that
the contractor pay the City $917 per month for a period up to twenty-four months ($22,008).
Upon completion of the courthouse construction, the construction yard would be dismantled and
the site conditions restored to those currently shown in the Sister Cities Parkway plans and
specifications. Once bids are received for the site improvements, the contractor is responsible to
either build the site improvements or reimburse any extra cost of the construction work exceeding
City Engineer's parkway cost estimate ($130,000).
(Parking Improvements at New Federal Courthouse, Page 2 of $)
(T.H. 37 Park Improvements, cont'd)
The scope of work for this park project presently includes only landscaping and walkway construction.
The additional 32-space parking lot would have to be constructed abutting the Belden Street side of
the park and would still leave approximately two-thirds of the park land area for landscaping.
Tncreased Cost for Proposed 32-S,,ace ParkinD L~t: The $130,000 budget for the Sister Cities
Parkway is restricted to the originally planned landscaping and walkway improvements. Should the
Council approve a modified design scope to include the proposed 32-space parking lot, funding will
have to be identified to support the additional construction cost and installation of parking meters
once an Engineer's estimate is made based on the new design.
Anticinated Parkino I~==~ of Fe~_e_ral Courth~_,_,_~: There will be approximately la, O employees
and law enforcement officials at the new federal courthouse, These employees and the general
public must currently use parking meters and contract parking at the current federal courthouse office
at Broadway/Starr and at the two federal courts housed in the Wilson Tower in the Uptown Business
District.
Staff has analyzed the available on-street parking supply within acceptable walking distance to the
new federal courthouse. A walking distance of 800-feet (two city blocks) was assumed to be an
acceptable walking distance to the new courthouse for the purposes of this analysis. Not including
on-street parking demand commonly occurring in front of existing businesses, Staff has estimated
approximately 177 on-street parking spaces are available within acceptable walking distance to the
courthouse. The existing public parking lot in front of the old County Courthouse provides an
additional 62 parking spaces. Further, there are 120 parking spaces in the public parking lot across
:Interstate 37 at Mesquite Street (See Exhibit 2).
Cost of Parkino Meters / Anticipated Parkina Revenue,: The proposed parking meters on
Water and Belden Streets and in the proposed new parking lot would allow users to purchase a
minimum of one hour up to a maximum of ten hours at a rate of $0.25 per hour. Fees for the
parking meters would be applicable to weekdays only between the hours of 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM.
:If approved by future Council action, the metered spaces within the proposed parking lot would be
"hooded" by the Courthouse security officers only at the times needed for the jurors. As noted
previously, the City would be reimbursed by the federal court for the revenue normally generated
at any "hooded" meters.
Based on a conservative 50% meter utilization factor, the new parking meters on Water and
Belden Streets would generate an annual revenue of approximately $12,800. The 32 parking
meter spaces in the proposed I.H. 37 / Belden parking lot would generate an annual revenue of
approximately $10,000.
Future Council Action Reeuir~d~
1. Council approval for bid award of the Sister Cities Parkway project, including the construction
of the proposed 32-space parking lot if Council approves a modified project scope.
2. Council approval for installation of new parking meters for the proposed 32-space parking lot
within the Sister Cities Parkway.

Seed Steering Committee and appointed additional neighborhood representatives,
bringing the committee up to twelve.
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).
The City Council, on January 9,2001, approved funding for three agencies:
$10,000 for the YMCA of Corpus Christi, Northside Outreach Programs,
$10,000 for the Tejano Academy of Arts, the "Songs for Life" Program,
$20,000 for the City of Corpus Christi Park and Recreation Department, Joe
Garza and HEB Community Swimming Pools Programs.
The City Council on this same date tabled a motion authorizing a funding
agreement with the IceRays for $10,000. They asked that the Weed and Seed
Steering Committee reconsider this recommendation and possibly offer an
alternative program to consider for funding. The Committee discussed this item
at their January 25, 2001 meeting. They considered the City Council's request
and discussed the matter at length. They felt very strongly that this program is of
benefit to the Weed and Seed Program participants and also want to provide
input to the City Council on the potential impact of eliminating any for profit
agencies from the Weed and Seed RFP process.
RECOMMENDATION: The Weed and Seed Steering Committee recommends
that the City Council authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute the
agreement with the IceRays.

salaries and benefits for two civilian employees, a Gang Analyst and a Data Entry Clerk III. The
City funds provide for the remaining 50% and operational costs such as office supplies. The grant
is on a five-year funding schedule, Year 4 = 50/50, and Year 5 25/75.
2, The State will provide $53,194 for the salary and fringe benefits for one civilian Computer
Forensics Specialist. The Police Operating Budget will provide $1,596 supplies and the Law
Enfomement Trust Fund $4,000 for necessary training and computer equipment. The 5 year
funding cycle is 100% for Year 1, 2, Year 3 = 75/25, Year 4 = 50/50, and Year 5 = 25/75.
Required Council Action: Approval to submit grant applications and assign the priority numbers.
Implementation Schedule: The grant applications must be submitted to COG by 2/27/01 and the
grant year will begin 9/01/01. Funds will be appropriated at the time of grant award.

ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Agenda Item 1: The Corpus Christi Police Department is requesting fourth year funding for
continuation of the Gang Analysis Unit. The unit will continue the Police Department's operational
plan to address the youth street gang problem through proactive measures. The personnel will be
responsible for maintaining the relational gang database on-line by entering and updating what is
currently some 2,000 records of known and suspected gang members. They will also review, prepare,
and forward daily repons of 1ET officers to the appropriate authorities; compile statistical data, and
support criminal and civil litigation concerning gang activities.
Agenda Item 2: The Corpus Christi Police Department is requesting second year fi~nding for the
Computer Forensics Specialist grant. The goal of the grant is to enhance the capabilities of the CCPD
in the areas of prevention, investigation, and prosecution of computer-facilitated crime, especially in
cases involving computer based sexual exploitation of children. The primary purpose of the computer
forensics specialist is to extract evidence pertaining to computer crimes. Additionally, this individual
will provide technical support and training to investigators and field officers on computer crime
indicators, initial search and seizure requirements and procedures, and will provide expert testimony
on computer crimes. The Computer Forensics Specialist, being an expert in computers, the Interact,
and various types of cyber crime, can also be called upon to give presentations on cyber crime
prevention to various organizations (i.e. public and private schools, Parent Teacher Associations
(PTA), the Rotary Club, Boy and Girl Scouts of America, and area law enforcement seminars). The
Depa~hx~ent will also design and implement prevention strategies for children and their families on the
safe use of the Internet and other forms of online communication.

Subject: FY 2002 Grants
The grant cycle is arriving soon. The enclosed chart displays the year your project will
be in for FY 2002 and also displays the amount your project is eligible to apply for.
As you are aware, grants are on a 5-year cycle. During the first and second year you
receive 100 percent, the third year you receive 75 percent, the fourth year you receive
50 percent and the fifth year you receive 25 percent. This would allow the phase out of
projects and would also allow for new projects to apply for funding.
Additionally, if you are part of the three-year commitment you do not have to resubmit an
application. You are only required to submit an updated Budget, Resolution from your
governing board and a recent progress report. If you are not part of the three-year
commitment and want to be considered for funding, please complete the enclosed

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
Subject: Acceptance of a Grant from the Coastal Bend Regional Advisory Council.
Agenda Item: A.
Motion authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to accept a grant from the
Coastal Bend Regional Advisory Council in the amount of $18,785.99 to be used for
the of purchase computer equipment and software for the Corpus Christi Fire
Department's EMS Division.
Ordinance appropriating $18,785.99 from grant from the Coastal Bend Regional
Advisory Council in the No. 1050 Federal/State Grants Fund for the purchase of
computer equipment and software for EMS Department; and declaring an emergency.
Issue: The Coastal Bend Regional Advisory Council has issued a grant to the City of Corpus Christi. This
grant requires that the funds be accepted, appropriated, and expended by August 1,2001, otherwise the funds
will need to be returned to the Regional Advisory Council.
Background: The Texas Legislature authorized a Health Care Trust Fund utilizing the proceeds from the
State's share of the tobacco settlement. A portion of these were dedicated to the support of statewide EMS
operations. The authorizing legislation and rules adopted by the Texas Department of Health route these
]EMS funds through the 26 regional advisory councils in the State. This is the first year of this funding;
however, future funding is anticipated. Additional funding is also expected from that portion of the funding
that is dedicated to the support of the individual regional advisory councils. The additional finding is
expected within the next couple of weeks.
The stipulations for use of the grant funds include:
Funds may not be used to purchase land or buildings, and
Funds are intended to augment existing funding, not to replace existing public
funding.
Funding: This is not a matching fund grant; therefore, no local funds are required.
Recommendation: Authorize the City Manager to accept the grant and approve the ordinance appropriating
the $18,785.99.

SUBJECT:
EPA Grant - Environmental Monitoring for Public Access and Community Tracking
(EMPACT) Through the City's Office of Environmental Programs
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution authorizing the city manager, or the city manager's designee, to submit
a grant application on behalf of the City and community stakeholders (e.g., citizens, Texas A&M
Corpus Christi and Kingsville, industries, businesses) to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
in the amount of $400,000 for performing environmental projects via EPA's Environmental
Monitoring for Public Access and Community Tracking program.
ISSUE: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is offering up to $400,000 in grant funds to
communities for collection, management, and presentation of environmental information to the
public. The City of Corpus Christi is included in the list of cities eligible for this grant funding in 2001.
FUNDING: This resolution is an application for funding. No cost is associated with the resolution.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the resolution as presented.
C. Klm McGuire
Director, Office of Environmental Programs
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Subiect: Environmental Monitoring for Public Access and Community Tracking (EMPACT) Grant.
Project Description: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is offering grant funding to
156 of the larger Metropolitan Statistical Areas in the country through a program titled Environmental
Monitoring for Public Access and Community Tracking (EMPACT). The Corpus Christi area is
included in that list of cities for 2001. Its goal is to provide communities the resources to make
timely, accurate, and understandable environmental information to the public for making informed,
daily decisions about their lives.
EPA will work with the selected communities to improve the delivery of accurate, timely and useful
environmental and public health information directly to the public. The goal is to:
· Put the latest technology to work in keeping track of environmental conditions.
· Present in plain language the information the public wants to know.
· Ensure the information is not only accurate but also practical.
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. Should the area be designated as non-
attainment, the sanctions imposed by EPA would be very detrimental to future area economic
development. It would also result in loss of federal highway funds until EPA approves prescribed
planning for regaining attainment status.
Texas A&M University Corpus Christi and Kingsville have been actively developing the information
base for air quality in collaboration with the City and the Air Quality Committee. A number of other
organizations have been involved in the same types of information development in the areas of the
bays and estuaries. This information should be presented to the public on a "real time" basis.
Successful application to this grant solicitation will provide the means to distribute this information.
Independently, the Nueces County / City Health Department, the Coastal Bend Bays and Estuary
Program and Texas A&M Corpus Christi and Texas A&M Kingsville have been monitoring water
quality in the bays. Their monitoring programs measure physical, chemical and biological
parameters and the impacts this has on public or ecological health. These data descdbe the overall
environmental health of our marine waters and indicate the relative safety associated with
recreational contact. Collectively this information, if presented in layman's terms, could be useful
decision making tools for an average citizen.
The grant and associated project scope are intended to have a multi-media focus. Any issues
related to environmental or public health may be addressed in this program. Actual project issues to
be addressed in the Corpus Christi application are in process of being assembled with input from
numerous stakeholders throughout the community.
Prior Council Action: There has been no prior Council action for this EMPACT program. There
have been a number of initiatives approved by Council in support of the research and planning
activities relative to air quality over the past five years under different programs.
Future Council Action: Should the grant application be approved, Council will be required to
consider approval to the grant contract, which will exceed $15,000.

DESIGNEE, TO SUBMIT A GRANT APPLICATION TO THE U.S.

BACKGROUNDINFORMATION
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project consists of two phases. The first phase provides for
purchase of the airfield lighting control system equipment. The second phase will be the
construction contract to install the equipment, relocate the airfield beacon, and installation of an
emergency generator.
The project is critical to the successful completion of the new FAA Airfield Traffic Control Tower
(ATCT/TRACON) facility, which is currently under construction, and the Corpus Christi International
Airport Reconstruction Project that is also currently under construction.
The Airfield Lighting Control System (ALCS) portion of this project is necessary to enable the
Airfield Traffic Control (ATC) personnel to remotely operate the airfield and approach lighting
systems.
Airfield Lighting Control System (ALCS): The project will consist of a state of the art
computerized, redundant ALCS, including resistance/circuit monitoring, remote control
stations, and touch screen control. Because of the new FAA ATCTfTRACON construction,
the decision was made to pre-purchase the equipment to shorten deliver time and minimize
any delay in manufacturing and equipment delivery.
BIDS: The project was issued as high technology procurement using FAA criteria. This allowed
the consideration of performance cdteda as well as pricing. Procurement packages were sent to
the four companies that manufacture this type of equipment in the United States. Three firms
responded to the procurement request. The bids ranged between $164,000 and $216,500 for the
base bid and required spare parts. See Exhibit C. The pdce for an annual maintenance contract
renewable for three years ranged between $10,800 and $26,100 per year.
The responses were reviewed by the project engineer (IMDC, Inc.) and Aviation Department. The
review was based on the criteda set forth by the procurement package. The response package
by Siemens Airfield Solutions, Inc.:
· was ranked highest by the evaluation team;
· had the lowest bid price at $164,000; and
· had the lowest priced annual maintenance service at $10,800 per year.
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: The Council has had extensive involvement in this important project.
FUTURE COUNCIL ACTIONS:
Council will be requested to award a construction contract for the installation of:
· Airfield Lighting Control System (ALCS;
· Relocation of the Existing Airport Beacon; and
· Replacement of Airfield Emergency Generator.

ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
BACKGROUND:
Due to the increase in the number of runway incursions the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA), over the past two years, has prioritized its incursion prevention efforts. One action the
FAA has taken to reduce incursions was made on 12/01/00 when it issued Change 1 to Advisory
Circular 150/5340-1H, "Standards For Airport Markings". The change to this Advisory Circular,
which is regulatory, requires all certificated airports to sand blast offtheir existing hold short and
non-movement delineation markings and repaint them, increasing the width of the yellow lines
from 6" to 12", and to outline the new stripping in black. To increase visibility all of the paint
used must have glass beads in it. FAA recommended that we take advantage of funds available
in this grant to have this work done. To do so requires a Resolution amending the scope of work
in the grant and revising its title. It is estimated that this work will cost approximately $7,000.
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION:
On August 22, 2000 Council approved Resolution number 024159 authorizing the acceptance of
$800,000 from FAA Grant number 3-48-0051-31-00, contingent upon its receipt, for the
Terminal Apron Improvement Project.
On September 26, 2000 Council approved Resolution number 024159 amending Resolution
number 024159, changing the authorized projects to include the Airfield Lighting Control
System and authorizing the acceptance of up to $3.1 million from FAA Grant number 3-48-
0051-31-00, contingent upon its receipt.
On September 22, 2000 the City received the Grant for Phase 1 in the amount of $1,834,157.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
SUBJECT: New contract for Airport Liability Insurance
February 08, 2001
AGENDA ITEM:
Motion authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to execute a one-year contract with
options to renew with Texas Municipal League Intergovernmental Risk Pool to provide Airport
Liability Insurance at an estimated annual cost of $ 29,477.50
ISSUE:
The present coverage will expire February 21, 2001. The policy is not renewable since the
present carrier is no longer issuing this type of coverage.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION:
City Council approval is required to authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute the
contract for $29,477.50.
FUNDING:
Adequate funding is provided through Ordinance No. 024130, which was adopted in the
current FY 2000-20001 Budget. The cost of the recommended contract is below current
expenditure.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to
execute a one-year contract with options to renew with Texas Municipal League
Intergovernmental Risk Pool to provide Airport Liability Insurance at an estimated annual cost
of $29,477.50.
~z. Ae~'~-~do
Director of Financial Services
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The City's present carrier for Airport Liability Insurance has informed the City that they will
no longer be providing Airport Liability coverage. The present coverage will expire
February 21,2001. We have received quotes from Texas Municipal League since the City
is a member of the TML Intergovernmental Risk Pool. Several coverage options were
provided for the City to review (See Attachment A). After discussing the coverage options
with the Legal Department it was recommended that coverage similar to the present
coverage be obtained. The City presently carries seventy-five million dollars in coverage.
Due to the amount of activity and the numerous contractors operating at the Airport at the
present time, it is recommended that similar coverage be maintained. The recommended
coverage amount of seventy-five million dollars is the same as the present coverage. The
seventy-five million dollar coverage includes twenty million dollars of primary coverage and
fifty-five million dollars of excess coverage. The TML-IRP proposal has the same
$5,000.00 deductible as the present coverage but has a lower aggregate deductible of
$10,000.00 versus $15,000.00 under the present coverage.
In summary, the TML-IRP proposal offers the same limit of coverage, (seventy-five million
dollars), a lower aggregated deductible (ten thousand versus fifteen thousand dollars),
and a lower annual premium ($29,477.50 versus $37,100.00).
Contract Summary
TERM OF CONTRACT: The term is four years beginning February 21, 2001
and ending February 20, 2005.
SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED:
TML will provide:
· Airport Liability Insurance (Primary & Excess)
· Loss Prevention Services
· Claims Management
· Site Safety Surveys
FEES: Estimated annual fee is $29,477.50

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
2001
AGENDA ITEM:
Appropriating $20,077,845 from increased revenues in the
Combined Utility System Fund due to increased cost of Natural Gas
Purchases; amending Ordinance No. 024130, which adopted the
FY 00-01 Budget providing $13,503,162, by increasing both
revenues and expenditures to the Combined Utility Fund by
$20,077,845, for the increased costs of Natural Gas Purchases;
and declaring an emergency.
ISSUE:
Natural gas prices have exceeded estimates necessitating a budget
amendment to provide sufficient funds for purchases for the remainder of the
year.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Budget Amendments require Council approval.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: Approval of FY 00-01 Annual Budget by passage of
Ordinance No. 024130.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the FY 00-01 Budget be amended and
funds be appropriated to cover natural gas purchases for the remainder of
the fiscal year.
Deborah A. Marroquin, P, JE.
Gas Superintendent
Public Works/Utilities
Marlo Tapia, Acting Director
Management & Budget
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Natural gas purchases (Expenditures) and sales (Revenues) are budgeted as being
equal. The cost of purchasing natural gas is passed through to the utility customer. In
April, 2000, during the process of preparing the FY 00-01 Budget for the Gas
Department, natural gas purchases were estimated using prior consumption patterns
and anticipated pricing as shown below. Based on this estimate, $13,503,162 was
budgeted as both a revenue and an expenditure. Natural gas prices have been
significantly higher than anticipated, also shown on the attached. Based on these
factors and projecting both purchases and pricing for the remainder of the year, we
estimate revenues from sales and expenditures from purchases to be $20,077,845
greater than budgeted.
In order to properly reflect these anticipated revenues and expenditures, it is necessary
to amend the 00-01 Budget by adding $20,077,845 to the revenues of the Combined
Utility Fund and a like amount to the operating budget of the Gas Department as an
expenditure (520200-4130-34100, Natural Gas Purchases). It is also necessary to
appropriate this amount to have funds available to pay for the purchases.

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
AGENDA ITEM:
February 13, 2000
Item A: A motion authorizing the execution of an agreement between the City of
Corpus Christi and the Corpus Christi Business and Job Development Corporation
regarding the activities to be conducted and the expenditure of funds during FY 2000 -
2001 for the Seawall Repair Project.
Item B: A motion authorizing the execution of an agreement between the City of
Corpus Christi and the Corpus Christi Business and Job Development Corporation
regarding the activities to be conducted and the expenditure of funds during FY 2000 -
2001 for the Multi Purpose Arena Project.
ISSUE: In the information developed as part of the November election, the City
Council indicated its intent to move quickly to implement the projects that were approved.
To that end, staff began the process of selecting design firms, identifying interim funding
opportunities, and other efforts to expedite initiation of the Seawall and Arena Projects. In
order to take the next step, it is necessary to develop and execute an agreement between
the City and the CCBJDC relative to implementation of the projects.
As was discussed at the last meeting, a long-term agreement is needed to spell out the
rolls and responsibilities of the parties to serve as the foundation for successful
construction of the projects. The development of such a long-term agreement may take
several months to develop, reach an agreement and secure final approval by both the
Board and the City Council. In order to allow for development of such an agreement
without impact on the schedule for the projects, staff proposes the execution of the
attached interim agreement that would cover activities during the current fiscal year, which
expires on July 31,2001. The agreement tracks the requirements of State Statute and the
ballot proposition, it provides for monthly financial and activity to the Board, and provides
for the Board the ability to inquire or make recommendations on any matter the Board
deems in the public interest.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Adoption of the motion and execution of the
agreement. Approval of the City Council will also be required before the agreement is
finalized between the City of Corpus Christi and the CCBJDC.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends adoption of the motion
and execution of the agreement.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
On November 7, 2000, voters approved the adoption of a one-eighth of one percent sales
and use tax to be imposed for 25 years for the promotion and development of
improvements to the downtown Seawall and for maintenance and operating costs of the
Seawall Improvements.
A second one-eighth of one percent sales and use tax imposed for 25 years was also
passed for the promotion and development of construction of a Multipurpose Arena and
for maintenance and operating costs of the Multipurpose Arena.
On October 9 and 20, 2000, the City released Requests for Qualifications for Financial
Advisor and Underwriters, respectively. The City has qualified seven (7) financial advisory
firms and fifteen (15) underwriting firms. This pool of firms will be utilized for the current
bond sale as well as future sales.
Evaluation committees comprised of staff from the Office of Management and Budget,
Airport, and various divisions of Financial Services were used to evaluate and qualify these
firms. A pool of eligible financial advisors and underwriting firms was established. From
the qualified list, the following recommendations are made:
Seawall Financin.q:
Coastal Securities is recommended as the Financial Advisor. Coastal Securities is
currently one of the financial advisors for the City of San Antonio on various proposed
economic development projects backed by the sales tax revenue. They have also assisted
several Texas cities with their one-eighth of one percent sales tax bond programs. Their
most recent one-eighth of one percent sales tax bond program for economic development
was a bond program for the City of Webster, an upscale suburb of Houston.
Lotus Capital Management L. L. C. is recommended as the Co-Financial Advisor. Lotus
Capital Management L. L. C. is a firm that will compliment the financing team with special
revenue bond expertise. The firm has experience in new and special revenues and can
bring these skill sets to the financing team.
Dain Rauscher is recommended as the Senior Underwriter. Dain Rauscher has been an
active financing resource to the City in developing financing structure for the one-eighth of
one percent sales tax program. The firm has an active government back trading desk and
will provide the Corporation and the City with extensive trading opportunities. Dain
Rauscher is a leader in the tax-exempt debt market.
3
US Bancorp is recommended as the Co-Manager. US Bancorp is a national underwriting firm
with a broad range of experience. They have experience in economic development, sales
and revenue back bonds, and convention and entertainment financings. The addition of this
firm will expand the City's institutional experience with investment bankers.
The Bond Counsel was recommended to the financing team by Jimmy Bray, City Attorney.
Jeffrey Leuschel of McCall, Parkhurst & Horton will represent the City as bond counsel.
Multipurpose Arena Financin.q:
Coastal Securities is recommended as the Financial Advisor. Coastal Securities has
extensive experience in Sales Tax Back Debt, Arena Center Financing, and economic
development financings in Texas. They recently were involved in developing the financing
structure for the San Antonio Spurs Arena and Enron Field (Houston Astros). They also
have assisted the City of San Antonio in developing the first sales tax backed commemial
paper program in Texas. Coastal Securities has been involved in several successful
economic development financing programs using the one-eighth of one percent sales tax
as the financing pledge. Because of this recent and extensive experience in arena and
one-eighth of one percent sales tax experience. Coastal Securities is the firm
recommended from the list of qualified financial advisors.
Lotus Capital Management, L. L. C. is recommended as the Co-Financial Advisor. Lotus
Capital Management is a MWBE (Minority and Women Business Enterprise) firm, which
has recently done economic development revenue bond and special revenue bond
programs. The addition of this firm to the financing team brings additional financial
advisory expertise to the financing team.
Dain Rauscher is recommended as the Senior Underwriter. Dain Rauscher as noted would
provide the Corporation and the City with excellent national coverage for its one-eighth of
one percent sales tax bond program. Additionally, appointing Dain Rauscher to lead both
one-eighth of one percent sales tax financings affords the financings with structuring
opportunities and continuity.
Chase/J.P. Morgan is recommended as the Co-Manager. Chase Bank provides the
Corporation and the City with access to the Texas market place. Chase has established
a long history of working with the City on financing plans and structures. Their recent
merger with J. P. Morgan also affords the City with additional nationwide marketing
capabilities.
The Bond Counsel was recommended to the financing team by Jimmy Bray, City Attorney.
Jeffrey Leuschel of McCall, Parkhurst & Horton will represent the City as bond counsel.

appropriation authority was required to insure funds be available, advances were authorized from
the Combined Utility System Fund and the Hotel Occupancy Fund for $900,000 each. The
Corporation has since met on February 5, 2001 and approved the projects, therefore, these council
