Mayor Neal referred to Item 18, FY2001-2002 operating budget, and a motion was made,
seconded, and passed to open the public hearing. The Mayor first called for comments on the
General Fund budget.
Mr. J.E. O'Brien, 4130 Pompano, said that according to the proposed FY01-02 budget, the
General Obligation Debt Service Fund needs an additional $1.9 million. He said he estimates that
the proposed 4-cent increase in the tax rate will raise about $3 million. Mr. O'Bfien questioned why
the excess increase in the tax rate is needed. He also cited budget figures involving the reinvestment
zone, the Mayor's Office, City Council budgets and major memberships. He asked how much of the
4-cent tax increase will apply to the 68-cent tax cap.
Mayor Neal called for comments on each of the General Fund departments and there were
none. He also called for comments on the city's other funds, including the Utilities Fund.
Mr. O'Brien said the proposed budget estimates that a 2% increase in the water, wastewater
and gas rates will generate an additional $1.5 million, while the projected fund balance in the
Enterprise Funds is over $76 million, which includes over $36 million for the Choke Canyon reserve.
Mr. O'Brien also compared the fund balances of the Wastewater and Water funds from two years
ago to the projected balances. He said the net income last year in the Combined Utility System Fund
was $25.8 million and he questioned the need for a 2% utility rate increase across the board.
Council Member Colmenero made a motion to close the public hearing, seconded by Council
Member Kelly, and passed.
Mayor Neal referred to Item 20, a presentation about the Corpus Christi Army Depot
(CCAD). Mr. Blaine Withers, Deputy to the Commander, gave a computer presentation about the
organization. He said CCAD's mission is to overhaul, repair, modify, test and modernize Department
of Defense rotary wing aircraft, engines and components. He said CCAD provides world-wide on-
site maintenance, aircraft crash analysis, oil analysis, and chemical, metallurgical and training
support. He said they also train active duty Army, Reserve Component, and foreign military
personnel.
Mr. Withers said CCAD currently employs approximately 2,850 people with an average
salary of $48,600 and a local economic impact of $534 million. He said they work with three unions
and the largest portion of their workforce (22.7%) consists of metals/processing trades. Other aspects
of the workforce include: a large percentage of veterans (67%); average age of 49.83; and a large
number of employees with over 16 years of service. Mr. Withers then showed an 18-minute video
of specific aspects of CCAD's operations.
Responding to Council Member Kelly, Mr. Withers said there is some uncertainty about how
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
June 26, 2001
Page 4
much CCAD's operation may grow since there are still budget decisions to be made by the
Department of Defense; however, there is potential for gro~vth. He also discussed the qualifications
that potential CCAD employees should have and the programs they have underway with Del Mar
College and Flour Bluff ISD.
Mayor Neal referred to Item 19 and a motion was made, seconded, and passed to open the
public hearing on the proposed re-naming of Ocean Drive to South Water Street between Furman
Avenue and Buford Street. Using a diagram, Mr. David Seiler, Traffic Engineer, noted that that two-
block section of Ocean Drive--located behind First United Methodist Church--in all likelihood was
the Ocean Drive connection to South Water Street before Shoreline Boulevard was constructed.
Mr. Seiler said the owners of the property fronting on that street section, First United
Methodist Church and the Morris L. Lichtenstein Jr. Foundation, are both requesting the street name
change to better describe the location of the properties there and prevent further confusion. He said
the City Secretary's Office notified all of the affected parties and there was no opposition to the
proposal. There were no comments from the audience. Council Member Chesney made a motion to
close the public hearing, seconded by Council Member Colmenero, and passed.
Responding to Council members Scott and Noyola, Mr. Seiler said this could be categorized
as a "housekeeping" change. He said the cost to change the three street signs will be approximately
$300. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:
19.b. FIRST READING ORDINANCE
Ordinance changing the name of Ocean Drive to South Water Street between Furman
Avenue and Buford Street.
The foregoing ordinance passed on first reading by the following vote: Neal, Chesney,

Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 15, fiber optic cable. Council Member Kelly asked
if this proposal will allow for the synchronization of the traffic lights on Northwest Boulevard or FM
624. Ms. Barbara Stover, Street Superintendent, said they will do that. She said a planned fifth traffic
signal will also be synchronized after it is installed. She added that the timing of the project depends
on the delivery of the equipment. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:

The foregoing resolution passed by the following vote: Neal, Chesney, Colmenero, Garrett,
Kelly, Kinnison, Longoria, Noyola, and Scott voting "Aye."
Mayor Neal referred to Item 17, FY2001-2002 budget discussion regarding the Internal
Service Funds, Special Revenue Funds, Solid Waste Services, and the continuation of the General
Fund discussion. Mr. Mark McDaniel, Director of Management and Budget, said the Internal Service
Funds consist of Liability/Employee Benefits, Maintenance Services, Municipal Information
Systems, Stores, and Engineering Services. He said those funds support other city operations on a
cost basis. Overall, their combined expenditures increased by approximately $230,000 (less than
1%), due primarily to the rise in group health insurance costs, which he briefly addressed.
Mr. McDaniel said the Special Revenue Funds consist of the following: Crime Control and
Prevention District, Hotel Occupancy Tax, Reinvestment Zone No. 1 and No. 2 (Packery Channel),
Visitors Facility Fund, Arena Facility, Seawall Improvement, and Local Emergency Planning
Committee. He said in the Hotel Occupancy Tax Fund, proposed expenditures include $1.2 million
for initial project work for the convention center expansion with $50,000 being budgeted for the
American Bowling Congress.
The Budget Director said contributions to outside agencies remain level, except for a funding
increase to the Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) as per their contract. The proposed amounts
for the outside agencies are: Asian Cultures Museum, $15,000; Art Museum of South Texas,
$200,000; Harbor Playhouse, $31,500; Center of Hispanic Arts, $15,000; Arts Community Center,
$15,000; convention promotion, $2,091,235; Corpus Christi Symphony, $12,000; Jazz Festival,
$7,500; and arts grants/projects, $76,500, for a total of $2,463,735. He said the CVB requested an
additional $105,000 and the Economic Development Corporation requested an additional $100,000.
One of the ne~v Special Revenue Funds is the North Padre Island Reinvestment Zone No. 2
(Packery Channel). He said staff is estimating approximately $60,000 in captured value for FY01-02
per the Economic Research Associates study. Participating entities include the city, Nueces County,
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
June 26, 2001
Page 10
and Del Mar College. Another new fund is the Seawall Improvements Fund, for which collection
of the 1/8th cent sales tax began on April I, 2001. For that fund, staff is projecting $4 million in
revenue and $3.2 million in proposed expenditures for initial project costs and debt service for the
bond sale anticipated in fall 2001.
He said the Arena Facility Fund's 1/8th cent sales tax collection also started on April 1, 2001
and includes $4 million of projected revenues and $1.9 million of proposed expenditures for initial
project costs in FY01-02. In addition, a bond sale is projected in spring 2002. The Visitor's Facilities
Fund is expected to have flat revenues and expenditures and the fund balance is projected to remain
under 1%. The final 10 officers (for a total of 50) will be hired through the Crime Control and
Prevention District, which also includes funding for an election reauthorizing the district.
Mr. Jeffrey Kaplan, Director of Solid Waste Services, discussed his department's
accomplishments for FY2000-01: recycling collection every other week; heavy brush collection eight
times per year; bulky item collection twice per year; free disposal days for residents (first Saturday
of each month); "Cash for Trash" events every other month; household hazardous waste collection
events quarterly; "hot shot" and "Litter Critter" programs; Cefe Valenzuela Landfill land purchase;
and final cover on J.C. Elliott Landfill cells 1-4.
Mr. Kaplan said program enhancements for FY01-02 include: continuing the current level
of service in all departments; merging brush grinding operations with heavy brush; transferring
landfill scale house functions and three landfill positions to the Financial Services Department;
implementing Phase I of the automated refuse collection system; intensifying environmental
compliance efforts; and continuing "Cash for Trash," free disposal days, and "Stop Trashing Corpus
Christi" cleanup events. Major initiatives for the next fiscal year include developing a request for
proposals (RFP) for the recycling operation; developing a business plan and an RFP for the
Valenzuela Landfill; and creating a citizen drop-off station at the entrance to the landfill that will
provide several services.
The Director of Solid Waste Services also reviewed a chart showing current year versus
proposed expenditures. He explained that the department's original revenue estimate was based on
tonnage at the Elliott Landfill through January 2001, while the updated estimate is based on tonnage
through May 2001.
Mr. Kaplan said that in order to reverse the trend of decreasing landfill tonnage, staff has
developed the following options for the Council's consideration: Option I - new "put-or-pay"
contracts with private haulers and a Solid Waste System (SWS) service charge; Option II - new
contracts and departmental service reductions; Option III - new contracts and city-wide solid waste
collection concept; and Option IV - a lower tipping fee and franchise fee.
Mr. Kaplan said that if adopted, Option I would achieve the level of revenue budgeted for
FY01-02 and maintain service levels. He said the proposed SWS service charge entails $3 per cubic
yard for haulers with contracts and $4 per cubic yard for haulers without contracts. He said that while
Option II also proposes the "put-or-pay" contracts, it does not include the service charge concept.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
June 26, 2001
Page 11
He said the impact of that option would be a revenue shortfall of $2 million, which would require
an offsetting reduction in expenses in the areas of brush grinding, recycling, "Cash for Trash," and
landfill costs. Responding to Council Member Garrett, Mr. Kaplan said this option would result in
the elimination of the recycling program.
Under Option III, Mr. Kaplan said the city would take over all commercial collection within
the city's jurisdiction and the city would issue an RFP for an exclusive contract with one or more
haulers for commercial service, as well as the inclusion of the "put-or-pay" contracts. He said that
option would require an estimated 24-month transition period, resulting in a short-term revenue loss
but a potential long-term gain.
Mr. Kaplan said Option IV proposes a lower tipping rate and a franchise fee. He noted that
the "put-or-pay" contracts are not included in this option and there is no guarantee of tonnage at the
landfill. The lower tipping rate would be set at $16 per ton for all customers, resulting in a significant
revenue loss, while the inside-city-limits franchise fee would be approximately $10.50. He said
Option IV would require greater effort to ensure compliance and more extensive enforcement.
Mr. Ron Massey, Assistant City Manager for Public Works and Utilities, said staff is
recommending Option I--the SWS service charge and the "put-or-pay" contracts. He noted that
currently, the Elliott Landfill tipping fee includes the cost to bury the waste, a state fee, landfill
project cost, and other expenses such as bond debt service, landfill development, and post-closure
costs. He said staff is proposing unbundling the tipping fee and reducing it to an amount that reflects
the first three expenses (waste burial, landfill project fee, and state fee), while the remaining costs
would be recovered through the implementation of the service charge, which he further explained.
A discussion ensued about how the cost of garbage collection and dumping is calculated. City
Manager Garcia clarified that the city will only enter into contracts with haulers, not with the
commercial customers which generate the waste. Mr. Massey pointed out that the city has an
ordinance requiring all commercial haulers that operate within the city limits to be permitted and
follow established guidelines. Responding to Council members' questions, Mr. Massey said city staff
will work with the haulers as they develop the details of the proposed SWS service charge. Mr.
Kaplan noted that other cities have implemented similar service charges.
In reply to Council Member Kinnison, Mr. Kaplan said staff has been unable to develop a
business plan because of the fluctuation in tonnage at the landfill. He said staff has initiated a full-
cost accounting study to ensure that all the costs are properly captured. He also discussed the
complexity of overlapping costs associated with such operations as brash grinding. Mr. Kinnison
said he did not want staff to disregard the option of passing some costs on to the residential
customers. Mr. Massey said staff will review that issue.
Mr. Massey also further described the "put-or-pay" contracts, which will guarantee tonnage
at the Elliott Landfill and are an important part of the business plan at the Valenzuela Landfill. In
order to develop the contracts, Mr. Massey said staff met with the haulers individually and
collectively to receive their input. He said the contracts contain the following terms: $19.50 per ton
Minutes- Regular Council Meeting
June 26, 2001
Page t2
plus the state fee; available to all haulers who have been permitted for at least 12 months; the city
has the right to enact fees and ordinances for waste generation; and haulers under contract receive
benefits of more favorable offerings.
Mr. Massey and Mr. Kaplan responded to questions from Council Members Colmenero and
Longoria. Mr. Massey noted that Item 23.a. on the day's agenda is a proposed "put-or-pay" contract
with BFI of Texas; another hauler decided that such a contract is not in their best interest at this time
(resulting in the withdrawal of Item 23.b.). He said other haulers have indicated that they are still
willing to discuss the contracts with city staff. Mayor Neal called for comments on Item 23.a. and
there were none. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:
23.a. M2001-245
Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute a contract with BFI of
Texas, L.P., guaranteeing the annual delivery of specific tonnage of acceptable waste to the
J.C. Elliott Landfill for a specified fee, for a period not to exceed the life of the J.C. Elliott
Landfill.
The foregoing motion passed by the following vote: Neal, Chesney, Colmenero, Garrett,
Kelly, Kinnison, Longoria, Noyola, and Scott voting "Aye."
23.b. WITHDRAWN
Mayor Neal called for a brief recess. Upon mconvening, Mr. McDaniel referred to comments
made by Mr. O'Brien during the budget public hearing. He said there is an overall increase in terms
of current ad valorem taxes once the assumption is made of a growth in values of 2.5% of $1.4
million. He said of the 4-cent increase, $.0096 is being taken on the General Fund side versus the
debt service side, which equates to $887,000 at 2.5% growth. He noted that the value of the recent
refunding on the bonds was $1.2 million, which was used by the General Fund. He said the city is
still under the 68-cent tax cap. City Attorney Bray added that the 4-cent increase is attributable to
the new debt approved by the voters in November 2000.
Deputy City Manager Noe explained that Mr. O'Brien was operating from net numbers. He
said the city issued the bonds approved by the voters, who were informed that the issue included the
4-cent ad valorem tax increase. In addition, the city refunded outstanding debt that fell under the tax
cap. He said the $1.9 million figure is a net number after it is increased for one action and decreased
for the other action. He said the savings will only accrue during the first several years.

Mr. McDaniel said the major memberships line item includes membership in the Better
Business Bureau, National League of Cities, Coastal Bend Council of Governments, U.S.
Conference of Mayors, and the Texas Municipal League. He said this year there is an additional
membership in the Public Technology Institute for $15,000.
Mr. McDaniel also referred to Mr. O'Brien's question about the amount of the Utility Fund
reserves. He said there are several reasons why that fund has a larger reserve than the General Fund,
including bond convenants, restricted uses (such as Choke Canyon), and the timing of debt service
payments. He reiterated that staff is recommending the 2% utility rate increases to accommodate
large upcoming capital projects.
Mayor Neal said eight requests were made by Council members for additional adjustments
to the budget, which were delineated by staff and distributed to the Council. He said adjusted
proposed revenues and expenditures are both $141,658,389.
On the list of Council requests, Council Member Garrett referred to Item 7, "provide support
for Buc Days at 50% cost to event - $20,874," and Item 8, "provide support for Bayfest at 50% cost
to event - $25,361." Mr. Garrett said currently the organizers of Buccaneer Days reimburse the city
for costs for police, stormwater, solid waste, street and park and recreation, which amounted to
$41,749 last year. He said Bayfest pays for police, solid waste, marina and park and recreation costs,
which totaled $50,721 last year. He said this requirement in their contracts places a burden on both
festivals; in fact, this year Buc Days had to cancel the fireworks due to financial problems. He said
both organizations are asking that they only be responsible for 50% of the city's costs. Mr. Garrett
said if their request is approved, the resulting cost to the budget could be offset from the hotel/motel
tax fund or each of the affected departments could absorb the cost in their budgets.
Council Member Chesney also commented on Items 7 and 8 of the Council requests. He said
other cities place a great value on the economic impact of city-wide festivals and he feels that Buc
Days and Bayfest are crucial to the quality of life in this community as well as beneficial to the city
financially.
Responding to Council Member Kelly, Mr. Garrett said Buccaneer Days and Bayfest are
seeking to have their required reimbursable amounts reduced to 50% on a permanent basis. Mr. Kelly
said he understands that Buc Days and Bayfest are "signature" events for the city, and he noted that
a signature event in the northwest area is Czechfest. Mr. Chesney said Bayfest and Buc Days are
being penalized because they are forced to charge a small fee in order to make ends meet, while free
events are not penalized. He said neither festival is a profitable venture.
In reply to other questions from Mr. Kelly, Mr. Garrett said that Buc Days charges a $2
admission fee into the carnival and admission into the rodeo, but they do not charge for the parade.
He said every year the organization awards three scholarships, one of which is a full $20,000
scholarship. He further explained the costs for which the festivals reimburse the city.
Council Member Longoria asked when the policy of charging Buc Days and Bayfest for the
Minutes- Regular Council Meeting
June 26, 2001
Page 14
city's costs was enacted. Mr. Garcia said that in 1998 the city entered into contracts with the
organizers of both Buc Days and Bayfest in which the required reimbursable amount for the city's
costs was initiated at 25% and increased by 25% each year until they reached 100% reimbursement
this year.
Mr. Longoria said he would be open to addressing the policy issue but not to giving the
organizations an outfight contribution. Mr. Chesney said they were asking for either an appropriation
or a waiver because they have the same effect on the budget. Mr. Chesney and Mr. Garrett said their
long-term intent is to change the policy if they can, but right now they are addressing the immediate
budget implications. Mr. Longoria said Buc Days and Bayfest have the capacity to raise money and
they should look at their budgets and find ways to eliminate expenses. Mr. Chesney said if those
organizations had the capacity to control their expenses they would not be making this request.
Council Member Scott asked about the revenues for Buc Days and Bayfest. Mr. Garcia said
city staff does not review their budgets. Mr. Chesney said Bayfest has a $1 million budget, of which
about $500,000 is donated to non-profit organizations. Mr. Longoria said the non-profits earn that
money. Mr. Chesney said Bayfest has a projected $60,000 to $70,000 net gain for 2001 and they are
trying to build up some reserves in case things go away.
Upon verification by Mr. Garcia, Council Member Kinnison said the city has numerous
contracts with event organizers that require 100% reimbursement of city costs. Mr. Garcia said when
Mr. Garrett and Mr. Chesney first discussed this issue with him, it became apparent that it was more
complicated than it first appeared because the policy applies to other organizations in addition to Buc
Days and Bayfest.
Mr. Kinnison said there is a plan to annex a large portion of the island and a change to the
city's policy would set a significant precedent with regard to events there. Mr. Garcia said the same
policy is also applied to the Concrete Street Amphitheater. Mr. Kinnison said he is open to a full
discussion on the policy, but from the standpoint of the budget he would like to leave it as it is.
Council Member Colmenero said he believes the Council needs to look at the city's policy
while at the same time recognizing the impact on tourism of Buc Days and Bayfest. Responding to
Mr. Kelly, Mr. Garcia said the Concrete Street Amphitheater representatives would like to pay 50%
of the city's costs but the city is billing them for 100% of the costs.
Mayor Neal said the Council needed to suspend its discussion on the budget in order to hear
petitions from the audience.
Mr. Isaac Valencia, President of the Corpus Christi Police Officers Association, said that
organization has invested time and energy into addressing problems facing the city, such as budget
restrictions. He discussed the issues of "drag-up" pay; a call-taker position in Police
Communications; co-oping with the county for overtime; MDT/AVL system; and police substations.
Mr. Phil Rosenstein, 949 Bobalo, said he is a U.S. Merchant Marine veteran of World War
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
June 26, 2001
Page 15
II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. He briefly described the history of the Memhant Marines
and said he expects to have a Merchant Marine flag in a few weeks which he would like to present
to the Mayor's Committee on Veterans Affairs.
Mr. Andy Rodriguez, 3401 S. Alameda, asked if the ordinance regulating substandard
buildings is being enforced. City Attorney Bray replied that it is. Mr. Rodriguez expressed concern
about deteriorated neighborhoods and abandoned houses in the area of Leopard, Brownlee and
Staples streets. Mr. Colmenero said a plan for inner city improvements is one of the Council's new
priority initiatives. Mayor Neal said it is also an area of interest for the directed patrol officers. Cmdr.
Bryan Smith of the Crime Control and Prevention District proceeded to meet with Mr. Rodriguez.
Mr. Leon Perez, 904 Buford, said ridiculous accusations were made by the newspaper about
Police Chief Pete Alvarez. He said the Police Department is very important. He also said that
absentee landlords run Corpus Christi.
Mr. Vic Menard, 1510 Dove Lane, said that for many years the city has been a strong partner
with Buccaneer Days and Bayfest. He said the policy change regarding reimbursing costs was
adopted during a financially difficult time for the city. He discussed the benefits of the two festivals,
both to citizens and to tourists. He said the city needs to revisit the policy regarding costs.
Returning to the budget discussion, Mr. McDaniel said the city charges for solid waste pickup
to organizations which hold free events, such as the Jazz Festival and the Beach to Bay run.
Mr. Scott referred to Item 1 on the list of Council requests, "increase economic development
contribution - $100,000." He said the Council received a document from the Economic Development
Corporation (EDC) with a series of requests, most specifically a request for $100,000 for a director
of development coordination. He said the EDC has done an excellent job and he believes that
funding that position will further enhance their efforts.
Mr. Kinnison said he supports that proposal, noting that increasing funding for economic
development was one of the initiatives identified during the Council's recent retreat. In order to fund
the requested $100,000 for the EDC, Mr. Kinnison suggested the city follow the original allocation
of $375,000 between the General Fund and various utility funds based upon a gross receipts measure.
Mr. Garcia asked if this would be a permanent increase, and Mr. Scott said it would be. Mr. Chesney
spoke in favor of this proposal. Mr. Kelly said it is essential that Corpus Christi's workforce is
trained to take advantage of any new jobs that are created here.
Mr. Longoria discussed Item 2, "skate park architectural/engineering - $80,000." He said the
Skate Park Association has paid a designer $5,000 to draft their conceptual and preliminary materials
list for a 25,500-square foot skate park. He said the exact location of the park has not yet been
determined. He said the park organizers are hoping it will be a public-private partnership, which he
described. He referred to information that the Council received about the association's proposal. Mr.
Colmenero, Mr. Noyola and Mr. Garrett spoke in favor of this item. Responding to Mr. Chesney, Mr.
Longoria further described the proposal. He said $20,000 will at least get the project off the ground,
Minutes- Regular Council Meeting
June 26, 2001
Page 16
which Mr. Kinnison said he could support.
Mr. Noe addressed Item 5, "increase contribution to the Convention and Visitors Bureau -
$50,000." He said that during the CVB's last joint meeting with the Council, the CVB said they
would be requesting an additional $100,000 to enhance their cooperative advertising program. He
said staff was recommending funding $50,000 from the hotel/motel occupancy tax fund instead of
the requested $100,000 because the unencumbered balance of that fund is only about $120,000. Mr.
Kinnison noted that the city has committed $50,000 to the American Bowling Congress. He said the
CVB budgeted $264,000 for the Columbus Fleet bonds, but the actual amount will be $223,000 as
a result of savings from the refunding of those bonds.
Mayor Neal suggested that Item 4, "offset revenue loss due to non-renewal of child safety
fee - $134,009" be taken out of the police overtime line item. Mr. McDaniel said there are some
potential revenue offsets as a result of actions during the recent legislative session.
Mr. Colmenero discussed Item 5, "reinstate McGee Beach lifeguards - $21,950," saying it
is an important program that should be reinstated. He said it should also be reviewed in relation to
the planned repairs on the seawall.
Mr. Noyola referred to Item 6, "modify proposed salary adjustments (4% for non-
management and 2% for management and eliminate merit) and add back 2% for all employees
effective March 1, 2002 for General Fund only - $969,156." He said he has previously expressed his
opposition to merit increases. Mr. Noe responded to the Mayor's questions about this issue.
Although not on the list, Mr. Scott raised the issue of the city's sesquicentennial celebration.
He suggested that $10,000 be taken from the hotel/motel fund reserve this fiscal year and $10,000
next fiscal year. He said those amounts would be in addition to staff time that would be spent in
promoting the event. Mr. Colmenero discussed the issue ora citation program for code enforcement.
Mr. Longoria spoke in favor of funding for the sesquicentennial event.
In order to frame the budget, Mayor Neal made a motion to approve the General Fund
adjusted proposed revenue amount of $141,658,389 and adjusted proposed expenditure amount of
$141,658,389; seconded by Mr. Colmenero. He called for a voice vote and the motion passed
unanimously. The Mayor then called for consideration of each of the nine Council proposals.
Mr. Scott made a motion to approve $ 100,000 for Item 1-increase economic development
contribution; seconded by Mr. Chesney. The Mayor called for a voice vote and the motion passed
unanimously.
Mr. Longoria made a motion to approve $20,000 for development of a skate park (Item 2);
seconded by Mr. Noyola. The Mayor called for a voice vote and the motion passed unanimously.
There was no motion made for Item 3, CVB funding request of $50,000.
Mr. Garrett made a motion to approve $134,009 for Item 4-offset for non-renewal of child

safety fee; seconded by Mr. Colmenero. A voice vote xvas called and the motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Longoria made a motion to approve $21,950 for Item 5-McGee Beach lifeguards;
seconded by Mr. Colmenero. The Mayor called for a voice vote and the motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Noyola made a motion regarding Item 6-modify proposed salary adjustments. The
motion died for lack of a second.
Mr. Garrett made a motion to approve Item 7-provide support for Buccaneer Days by
reducing reimbursement requirements to the city by 50%; seconded by Mr. Chesney. City Secretary
Chapa polled the Council and the motion passed by the following vote: Chesney, Colmenero,
Garrett, Kelly, and Noyola voting "Aye"; Neal, Kinnison, Longoria, and Scott voting "No."
Mayor Neal referred to Item 8 - provide support for Bayfest by reducing reimbursement
requirements to the city by 50%. Mr. Chapa polled the Council and the item passed by the following
vote: Chesney, Colmenero, Garrett, Kelly, and Noyola voting "Aye"; Neal, Kinnison, Longoria, and
Scott voting "No."
Mr. Scott made a motion to approve $I0,000 for Item 9-sesquicentennial celebration;
seconded by Mr. Colmenero. The Mayor called for a voice vote and the motion passed unanimously.
Mr. Garcia said staff would bring back proposals on how to pay for the funding amounts approved
by the Council. Mayor Neal said the Council's next meeting is July 10th.
Mayor Neal referred to Item 2.c. regarding the City Secretary's compensation. He said when
he originally made the motion at the beginning of the meeting, he mistakenly said "no increase in
car allowance" when he should have said "$100 increase in car allowance." Mr. Longoria seconded
Mayor Neal's motion to correct Item 2.c. A voice vote was called and the motion passed as follows:
2.c. M2001-231
Motion authorizing a cost of living adjustment as approved in the FY2001-2002 budget for
the City Secretary; a 5% merit pay increase; a car allowance increase of$100 per month; and
an additional 5-day annual leave accrual and 3-day sick leave accrual per year effective the
first full pay period in August 2001.
The foregoing motion passed by the following vote: Neal, Chesney, Colmenero, Garrett,
Kelly, Kinnison, Longoria, Noyola, and Scott voting "Aye."
Referring to the budget, Mr. Kinnison said the Council has previously discussed the
possibility of holding an election to ask the voters to consider Charter amendments, a 1/8th-cent
sales tax increase for economic development, and renewal of the Crime Control District. He said in
order to ensure a good voter turnout, there would probably not be an election held until after July
2002, which means that funds budgeted for an election could be used for other items.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
June 26, 2001
Page 18
Mayor Neal referred to Item 2 I, presentation on a request for proposals (RFP) for the City
Marina operations and development. Mr. Cisneros discussed the history of the marina, noting that
in the 1930s a single pier was constructed, followed by construction of the seawall and three
landmasses in the 1940s. The following decade the marina became the responsibility of the city's
Park and Recreation Department, and in the 1970s the marina began to lease business sites.
Currently, the marina encompasses 23 acres consisting of one L-Head and two T-Heads with
580 wet boat slips and 12 business tenants (four of which are seasonal). He said the goals of the RFP
include: continue to improve the bayfront and city marina; offer new attractions for residents and
visitors; generate new commercial and/or entertainment opportunities; and improve the marina's
fund balance. He said the daily marina operations discussed in the RFP include slip rentals, lease
management, marina maintenance and marketing, fuel service, wastewater pump-out service, and
marina security. He said the intent is to incorporate the marina development into the seawall
restoration project.
Mr. Cisneros said staffis hoping to receive responses from experienced development teams
which have a clear vision for marina development, previous success with waterfront projects, and
available financial resources. He said the ultimate project elements are a high-quality environment,
long-term generation of revenue for both the development team and the city, and selection of a
development team which is committed to Corpus Christi and its success. Mr. Cisneros said staff
hopes to issue the RFP in July 2001 with a response deadline of September 26, 2001. In November
2001, staff will ask the Council to consider a development team for selection and in February 2002,
they would execute an operations contract and ground lease.
Responding to Council Member Longoria, Mr. Cisneros said the proposal leaves room for
negotiations on the part of both the city and the developer. Council Member Kinnison asked about
a development proposal made by Mr. Leon Loeb. Mr. Cisneros said his proposal--which pertains to
only one part of the marina--is still under investigation. He said staff intends to bring the Council
a comprehensive plan for the entire marina. Mr. Garcia said staff has not carved out any property for
Mr. Loeb and the city is open to any development proposal that comes in. In fact, he said, currently
there are at least three specific development proposals from Mr. Veteo, Mr. Loeb, and from the Omni
Hotel chain.
Mr. Cisneros said it is conceivable that some respondants to the RFP may be interested in
the operation of the marina while others may only be interested in the development aspects of it.
Mayor Neal said he has heard criticisms that the city does not put any ad valorem tax revenue into
the marina, which could affect its operation and development. Mr. Cisneros noted that the RFP does
not mention the creation of any new landmass property.
Council Member Colmenero said the development of the marina needs to be considered in
conjunction with the renovation of the convention center, construction of the arena, and
rehabilitation of the seawall. Council Member Longoria discussed the importance of keeping the
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting

Page 19
RFP open-ended. Council Member Scott asked about a possible grant application that was pulled
from the agenda recently. Mayor Neal said he thought that staff was reevaluating the grant
application and will be bringing it back to the Council.
The Council concurred with staff's recommendation regarding the request for proposals for
the marina and directed them to proceed.
Mayor Neal referred to Item 22, an update on the Corpus Christi North Beach nourishment
project. Mr. Jerry Hauske, with Shiner, Moseley & Associates, referred to aerial photographs which
illustrated that several public facilities on that beach, including the mstrooms, picnic tables and gym
equipment, are being threatened by the water. He explained that the waves hit the beach at an angle
and drive the sand along the shoreline, where it becomes trapped behind the groin at the project's
north end.
Mr. Hauske said the city has received $1.45 million from the Texas General Land Office for
a beach nourishment project on Corpus Christi Beach, which consists of excavating approximately
25,000 cubic yards from behind the rock groin and moving that material to the beach's south end.
He said the project also includes bringing in 125,000 cubic yards of material from an off-site source
and placing it on the south end. He said the completed beach will be 3,200 feet long by 150 feet
xvide, and since it is normal for a portion of the sand to seek equilibrium in the water, the engineers
estimate that the stable beach width will be from 60 to 90 feet and could last about 10 years.
Mr. Hauske explained the process that is followed in the beach renourishment project. He
said the sand is being carefully monitored and measured, and is being tested by an independent
laboratory prior to be placed in its permanent location. He added that the Texas Natural Resoume
Conservation Commission has reviewed the test results and approved the material. He said the test
results indicate that the new sand meets all the project requirements for design. Mr. Hauske said they
estimate the project will be fully complete by the end of July.
Responding to Council Member Chesney, Mr. Hauske said there is no requirement in the
specifications that the sand be washed, which he explained. He said there is no advantage to filtering
the sand rather than washing it. Mr. Chesney said some constituents have expressed concern that the
contractor is not meeting his obligations. Mr. Hauske said he is not aware of any obligations to the
city that have not been met by the contractor. He explained that neither the city nor the General Land
Office have contracts with the subcontractors because the project contractor is solely and ultimately
responsible for his subcontractors. In reply to Mr. Gamia, Mr. Hauske said he is inspecting the
project and is satisfied with it.
Council Member Kelly asked where the contractor is obtaining the sand material. Mr. Hauske
replied that currently it is coming from a dredge material placement area at the Port of Corpus
Christi. He further explained the extensive testing that is conducted on the sand, adding that all the
test results are available at his office for review. He emphasized that the material is of a good quality.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
June 26, 2001
Page 20
Council Member Colmenero requested specific information about the tests. Mr. Garcia said
there is no reason to be concerned about the quality of the sand. Council Member Kinnison asked
what is the source of some of the Council members' concern about this project. Council Member
Longoria said there is a problem between the general contractor and one of the subcontractors and
rumors about the project have resulted. Mr. Chesney said he wants to ensure that the project is well
constructed.
Mayor Neal called for the City Manager's report. Mr. Garcia said items scheduled for July
10th include the first reading of the budget, spaceport update, U.S. Census report, and the contract
for the Frost Bank building. He said the city will receive the certified tax rolls from the appraisal
district on July 25th. Mr. Kinnison said the appraisal district will have that information available on
July 24th and he said he does not want to vote on the second reading of the budget until they know
that information. Mayor Neal called for Council concerns and reports.
Mr. Scott referred to a letter from a satisfied constituent on Padre Island and he
complimented those involved with the National Geographic article, as well as the Committee for
Persons with Disabilities for the employment award they received from the Governor's Office. Mr.
Scott also requested reports regarding the city's web site and the efforts of Ms. Patricia Garcia in the
Office of Intergovernmental Relations, as well as a presentation on the bombing site proposal. He
asked about the condition of the grass at Cole Park. Mr. Cisneros explained that the main irrigation
lines are being rerouted as a result of the Bay Trail project.
Mr. Colmenero asked about the status of the MHMR park. Mr. Gamia said staff was hoping
that the state would deed the land back to the city but the city may have to purchase it. Mr.
Colmenero asked if a deferred payment plan for drag-up pay could be explored. Mr. Noe said staff
had an extensive discussion about that issue with the Corpus Christi Police Officers Association, but
there is a requirement that the employee would have to pay the taxes up front even if the payment
is deferred.
Mr. Noyola asked if the trees that were removed from the ditch near the Lozano Golf Course
were merely cut or if the roots were extracted. Mr. Massey said staff would provide a report. Mr.
Noyola requested a report on the amount of money that Lozano Golf Course is losing as a result of
damage to the greens.
Mayor Neal said the golf course discussion needs to be placed back on the agenda. The
Mayor also asked if the Council was interested in exploring the construction ora 100-acre land mass
on the bayfront (Mr. Veteto's proposal). Some of the Council members said they were not interested
in such a proposal. Mr. Gamia said staff did not specifically mention any proposals in the RFP for
the marina. He said that does not preclude anyone from coming in as part of the redevelopment
proposal. There being no further business to come before the Council, Mayor Neal adjourned the
Council meeting at 7:40 p.m. on June 26, 2001.

SUBJECT: Corpus Christi International Airport- Terminal Apron Improvements
Phase 2 (Project No. 1072)
BACKGROUND: The New Terminal Building extends onto the Apron from the footprint of
the old Terminal Building. The New Terminal is designed to minimize walking distances,
and increase the efficiency of Terminal operations. The Phase 2 Apron Improvements will
allow the operation of the new terminal to meet NFPA, other code, and drainage
requirements, while ensuring safe and efficient aimraff movement. The Phase 2 Apron
Improvements include:
new aircraft parking and maneuvering areas;
· connection of the existing apron to the new terminal foundation;
· pavement of demolished terminal foundation areas; and
· operation areas to accommodate airline/airport equipment and emergency vehicles
The Phase 2 Terminal Apron improvements will allow the commissioning the new Terminal.
The Apron Terminal Improvements Project was bid last year. The project could not be
awarded as a single project due to funding constraints. The project was redesigned to
permit award in two phases.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Phase 2 consists of the construction of apron improvements to support the construction
of a new terminal facility. The project is scheduled for completion within 365 calendar
days, but the notice to proceed may be issued as late as November 2001 to coordinate
work with the Terminal Construction contract. The coordination schedule requires the
project to be divided into eight (8) phases. The project will include: · apron within 50' of the concourse;
· apron for parking and push back of aircraft in the two northernmost parking
positions; and
· fill in of the east and west concourses to the backside of the Airline Ticketing Offices
and new baggage claim area
Bids:
Phase 2 was bid as a base bid. Three (3) bids were received and opened April 25, 2001.
The total base bids ranged between $1,523,532.50 and $2,111,662.80. W.B. Construction
Ltd. of Beaumont, Texas submitted the Iow bid. The Iow bid contained unit/quantity
extension errors that were corrected on the bid tabulation. The error did not affect the
priority order of bids. See Exhibit D.
MATERIALS TESTING CONTRACT:
Materials testing and inspection is required for the project. Professional Services
Industries, Inc. (PSI) of Corpus Christi is recommended based on their familiarity with FAA
requirements and airport operations. PSI has provided engineering laboratory,
EXHIBIT A ]
Page I of 2
construction materials and inspection services for the other Corpus Christi International
Airport projects currently underway. They also provided the geotechnical and pavement
design reports used by the design engineer to prepare the construction plans and
specifications.
FUNDING: The Aviation Department received FAA approval for an amendment to the
Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) Application Number 2. The PFC amendment achieves
the following items:
· Revise the project's scope of work and anticipated project financing to reflect the
Council-approved Terminal Construction Program, 5-year ClP, and its corresponding
finance plan
· Increase or decrease project PFC funding to reflect actual expenditures in order to
close the projects
An Airline Consultation Meeting was held at the Aviation Department's administrative
offices on May 4, 2001 as required under Section 158.37 of the Federal Aviation
Regulation (FAR) Part 158 - Passenger Facility Charges. No negative comments were
received from the Aidines within their 30-days comment period. Southwest Airlines and
Continental Aidines were supportive of the PFC Amendment and CClA's Terminal
Construction Program. The PFC 2 Amendment No. 1 was formally submitted to the FAA
on June 7, 2001. The FAA approved the amendment request on June 25, 2001.
FUTURE COUNCIL ACTIONS:
· Appropriation of PFC funds to reimburse prior expenditures for multiple projects.
· None are anticipated for the project. Council will be requested to award any required
change orders.
BOARD COMMITTEE REVIEW: The motion to award the construction contract was
reviewed and recommended by the Airport Board on June 6, 2001.

FUTURE COUNCIL ACTION: Approval of one (1) required construction contract for the
remaining Museum project under contract by this consultant.
PROJECT BACKGROUND: On Tuesday, November 7, 2000, the City of Corpus Chdsti
held an election to consider a number of ballot propositions to fund major capital
improvements for the community, Bond Issue 2000. The November 7, 2000 election was
held jointly with Nueces County and coincided with the Presidential Election.
The Bond Issue 2000 package includes $30.8 million in projects to be funded from ad

Parks and Recreation/Museum, and Street Improvement projects. The proposed projects
target the City's most immediate needs to improve existing physical facilities, provide for
EXHIBIT "A"
Page 1 of 2
growth, and protect the City's investment in its infrastructure.
Proposition No. 3 Park/Recreation and Museum Improvements includes improvements to
the Museum of Science and History. This project specifically proposes to address the
heating and air conditioning system. In order to preserve the artifacts and objects in the
Museum collection, control of both temperature and humidity is required. This is presently
not possible. A 1998 study of the HVAC system found that the HVAC controls are a
combination of pneumatic and electronic controls with no central Energy Management
System (EMS) and no humidity control. This controller will interface with the existing
system to provide better management of existing air-handlers and the new Discovery Hall
air handler. The new system will provide energy efficient regulation of both temperature
and humidity controls which is currently not possible.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project consists of providing a complete, functional direct
digital control system to serve all air handling units in the museum and ancillary equipment
in the mechanical room. The new direct digital control system will serve
· the existing air handlers,
· the existing emergency chiller,
· the existing chilled water pump,
· the existing chilled water booster pump,
· the boiler,
· the boiler pump, and
· the cooling tower.
All temperature sensors and thermostats shall be replaced and humidity sensors shall be
completely demolished and replaced where necessary. New network wiring will be
installed and new pneumatic control valves shall be installed. The existing Siebe controller
shall be demolished and a new controller provided.
BID INFORMATION: The project consists solely of a base bid. The city received proposals
from four (4) bidders on June 27, 2001. (See Exhibit "C") The bids ranged from $84,235
to $153,860. Malek, inc. of Corpus Christi, Texas is the lowest responsive bidder.
The Engineer's estimated construction cost for the project is $75,000. The City's
consultant, Turner Engineers, inc. and City staff recommend that based on Iow bid and
past satisfactory experience a contract be awarded in the amount of $84,235 to Malek Inc.
for the replacement of the Museum's Pneumatic Heating and Air Conditioning System.
CONTRACT TERMS: The contract specifies that the project will be completed in 120
calendar days, with completion anticipated by the end of November, 2001.
FUNDING: Funds for this project are available in the FY 2001 Museum ClP Fund.
Change orders are not anticipated due to the nature of the project. Should an
unanticipated change order be required supplemental funding will be made available from
the Museum operating budget and/or the Friends of the Museum.

Bass & Welsh Engineering on behalf of Dr. & Mrs. Robert W. Madry, Jr. and Ms. Ann C.
Yeager, is requesting the City to vacate and abandon a 2,250-square foot portion of Purl
Place north of the Robert Street right-of-way.
On July, 1996, Ms. Ann Yeager and Ms. Lillian Racusin then the abutting property owners
had requested the same street closure of Purl Place but later decided to postpone their
request to a later date. On August 26, 1996, the Transportation Advisory Committee had
recommended approval of this closure subject to the removal of the existing curb and gutter
street pavement improvements within the proposed closure area at the applicants'
expense. An alternate to the requirement for pavement removal is the erection of a
permanent barricade, such as fencing along the south line of the proposed closure. The
applicants had agreed to construct a fence at their expense.
All public and franchised utilities were contacted regarding this closure request, and no
objections were received.
Traffic Engineering however has stated that Robert Street is likely to be improved and
widened at some time in the future as per the project identified in the Street Capital
Improvement Planning Guide. So therefore, is asking that the existing 11.5-foot sidewalk
easement be maintained, as well as an additional 3.5-foot on the west side of the sidewalk
easement. Additional concerns are:
· A proper cul-de-sac or tee turn-around be constructed at the end of the public street.
That the abandoned and vacated street right-of-way would need to be removed (all
curb and gutter and sidewalk) and not made to appear simply as a blocked street..
That the existing street light at the intersection of Robert Street and Purl Place be
relocated to the end of the new cul-de-sac or tee turn-around.
Southwestern Bell has stated that they have joint used poles and aerial cable in the Robert
Street right-of-way from Ocean Drive south to Santa Fe Street and is asking that an
easement be retained within the Robert Street right-of-way, to encompass the facilities
already located within the right-of-way.
The fair market value appraised by City Staff is $2.,0A8_ for the 2,250-square foot closure
of Purl Street right-of-way. The abutting owners have been advised of and agree with the
specified conditions of this street closure.

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
June 27,2001
AGENDA ITEM: Motion appointing Council Members Brent Chesney, William Kelly
and Jesse Noyola as Board Members of the Corpus Christi Housing Finance
Corporation and the Corpus Christi Industrial Development Corporation.
ISSUE: The City has three specialty corporations for which the City Council serves
as the Boards of Directors. These specialty corporations include the Corpus Christi
Community Improvement Corporation (CCClC), the Corpus Christi Housing Finance
Corporation (CCHFC), and the Corpus Christi Industrial Development Corporation
(CCIDC). Of the three, the Corpus Christi Community Improvement Corporation is
incorporated under the Texas Nonprofit Corporations act and therefore appoints its
own membership, as opposed to the other two for which the Council makes the
appointments.
The corporations are scheduled to meet on July 10, 2001 and therefore it would be
appropriate for the City Council to take action to appoint Brent Chesney, William
Kelly, and Jesse Noyola to the two boards (CCHFC and CCIDC).
RECOMMENDATION: Appointment of Council Members Brent Chesney, William
Kelly, and Jesse Noyola to the Board membership of the Corpus Christi Housing

Prior Council Action / Policy on ReInamina Street_~;
· City Council established an official Council policy in 1994 which declines to change the names
of streets in Corpus Christi except under unusual, extenuating circumstances (Resolution
21901, 03-22-1994)
· City Council approved a resolution supporting the designation of State Highway 44 from the
City Limits of Corpus Christi to the City Limits of Robstown, Texas, as the Cesar Chavez
Memorial Highway (Resolution 23377, 07-16-1998)
· City Council approved the name "Northwest Boulevard" to supplement the State's F.M. 624 State-
system designation of this street. In addition, Council approved re-naming sections of Up River
Road (to Leopard Street) and Leopard Street (to Interstate 37 Access) in the Northwest area for
consistency purposes (Ordinances 023585-023588, 03-23-1999).
· City council approved the renaming of a single block section of Belden Street to Concrete Street
(Ordinance 024351, 01-30-2001)
Street Description / ProPerty Development
The subject section of Ocean Drive (Exhibit 2) comprises two block sections with a total street
length of 700-feet. The street is curvilinear, operates as a two-lane, two-way street, and carries less
than 1,500 vehicles per day. It is used nearly exclusively by motorists southbound on Water Street
who want to continue south onto the Ocean Drive artery south of Buford Street.
There are two property owners on this section of Ocean Drive. Church facilities exist along the entire
east side which are owned and maintained by the First United Methodist Church. The west side of
this section of Ocean Drive is primarily residential (apartments and one single-family residence)
owned by the remaining property owner, the Morris L. Lichtenstein 3r. Foundation. The First United
Methodist Church also owns and operates a church parking lot on the west side of Ocean Drive
nearest Buford Street.
Prooosed Re-Naminq of Ocean Drive to South Water Street Street
Page 2 of 3
Justification for Street Re-Naming:
Over the years, the Staff has received occasional calls from the general public, either commenting
that the 'Ocean Drive' street name between Furman Avenue and Buford Street is inappropriate and
confusing or commenting that the wrong street name sign has been installed. Therefore, many
citizens, including the City Staff, consider this named section of Ocean Drive as an anomaly for the
following reasons:
it significantly deviates from the normal alignment of Ocean Drive along the bayfront. This mis-
alignment (by street name) occurred as a result of the construction of Shoreline Boulevard and
the seawall. Prior to the Shoreline Boulevard / seawall construction, Ocean Drive directly
connected directly with Water Street.
it cannot be accessed by motorists from the main section of Ocean Drive
it comprises what is normally recognized as the southerly street extension of South Water Street.
In particular, officials with the First United Methodist Church, which has its church parking lots on
both sides of this section of Ocean Drive, have indicated the confusion to new-comers or visitors,
because many find their way reading street name signs rather than landmarks, when church
programs are announced as being more easily accessed using this Ocean Drive entrance to the First
United Methodist Church chapel.
Review bv City DePartments / Agencies:
The offices of the City Traffic Engineer, Utilities Office Manager, Director of Planning, Director of
Engineering, Fire Chief, Police Chief, and U.S. Postmaster have each been contacted for comments
on the proposed street name change. No opposition has been received from any of these officials.
Imolementation Cost:
Implementation costs for the street name change, if approved, would be restricted to the cost of
replacing three (3) ground-mount street name signs located at the intersections of Ocean / Buford,
Hancock / Ocean and Furman / Ocean. These signs are maintained by the City. The estimated City
cost for replacement of the existing street name signs with the proposed name change is $ 300.
Street name change costs historically have been borne by the City through its annual operating
budget (Street Services Department).

ISSUE:
Some of the Louisiana Parkway neighborhood residents have been interested in
an effort to revitalize Louisiana Parkway from Staples Street to Ocean Boulevard.
BACKGROUND:
The Louisiana Parkway is a land feature that has multiple duties to perform. It is
a conduit for traffic, a drainage way and a parkway. Some of the neighborhood
residents have been quite involved for the past year in a special project that they
have named "Revitaliziana". They have decided to do there part to improve the
neighborhood, specifically the Louisiana Parkway area. They have had weekend
work groups as well as planted some new trees in the parkway. Their long-term
plan is to raise sufficient funds to fund a redevelopment effort for Louisiana
Parkway that they have named "Revitaliziana". They have a concept master plan
Page 2
for the parkway that they presented to the Park and Recreation Advisory
Committee at the June 13th meeting of the Committee. The Committee
recommends that the City Council endorse the proposal as outlined by the
"Revitaliziana" group and allow the group to proceed with this project.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION:
The City Council must approve any major changes to properties that involve City
properties such as the Louisiana Parkway from Staples Street to Ocean Boulevard.

ATTACHMENT I
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The City's Compensation and Classification Plan is composed of Ordinances 3658,
8127, and 17728, as amended. These Ordinances establish a job classification
system that lists job classification titles and designated pay grades and salary ranges.
Graded positions, with some limited exceptions, are subject to Municipal Civil
Service and are referred to as "Classified" positions. Positions that are exempted
from Municipal Civil Service include: incumbents who function as the princiPal
secretary to top management and department/division Heads (regardless of actual
job title), temporary employees, Police and Fire personnel covered by collee, tive
bargaining units, incumbents in Managerial Group positions listed in Section 510,
Managerial Group Pay Plan, and incumbents in Executive positions listed in Section
520, Executive Pa,/ Plan, which designate salary ranges for Managerial and
Executive positions. In the Housekeeping Ordinance for FY 2001-2002, the
principal secretary to the Mayor and all Grant-funded positions have been exempted
from the Classified Service. Positions in the Executive Pay Plan, the Managerial
Group Pay Plan, and other exempted positions as previously noted, are "at-will," and
incumbents serve at the pleasure of the City Manager, or at the will of the City
Council if appointed by the City Council. In addition, the Compensation &
Classification Plan provides authority to the City Manager to administer the Plan in
compliance with these Ordinances, as revised and approved by the City Council.

COMPENSATION AND CLASSIFICATION PLAN

Section 100, Definition and Adoption of Classification Plan, Subsection I03,
Adoption of the Classification Plan:

Adoption of the Classification Plan, was revised by adding the Mayor's position to
the list of managers, directors, and other positions who have an emploYee that
functions as their principal secretary regardless of grade and title, and to add Grant-
funded positions as at-will exceptions to the Classified Service (Municipal Civil
Service). At-will positions are: (1) not hired for a definite period of time; (2) have
no promises or guarantees made or inferred as to how long the City of Corpus
Christi will employ the incumbent; (3) allows for the incumbent to quit at any time
for any reason; and (4) for their employment to be terminated by the City of Corpus
Christi at any time for any reason.
Section 250, Classification Plan for All Positions in The Classified Service,
Subsection 251 through 257:
This Section was revised by deleting Subsections 251-257 for FY 2000-2001 and
replacing them with Subsections 251-257 for FY 2001-2002. Specific changes to
these Subsections are listed as Attachment II (a) at the end of this summary.

Salary Schedule effective August 13, 2001, the first full pay period in FY 2001-
2002, as shown in Exhibit B.

Group Pay Plan effective August 13, 2001, the first full pay period in FY 2001-
2002, as shown in Exhibit C. The Managerial Group Pay Plan includes

in Attachment II (b).

Pay Plan effective August 13, 2001, the first full pay period in FY 2001-2002, as
shown in Exhibit D. The Executive Pay Plan includes housekeeping revisions for
FY 2001-2002. Specific changes to this Section are listed in Attachment II (c).
Section 700, Special Compensation Provisions, is revised by adding a new
Subsection 707.2, Eligibility to Participate as Retiree in City's Group Health
Insurance Program:
When any of the following conditions exist, a City employee will be eligible to
participate as a retiree in the City's Group Health Insurance Program at group rates:
(1) when eligible for retirement under requirements of the Texas Municipal
Retirement System (TMRS); (2) due to disability retirement; or (3) at age 60 upon
completion of a minimum of ten years of continuous service with the City of Corpus
Christi. An employee who terminates who does not meet these conditions will be

meets the eligibility and other COBRA requirements under this federal law. Police
Page 5 of 7
and Fire personnel who are covered by Collective Bargaining Agreements, part-time
and temporary employees are excluded from this provision.
Section 700, Special Compensation Provisions, is revised by adding a new
Subsection 707.3, Funeral Expenses for Employees Who Sustain Fatal On-the-
Job Iniuries
This provision authorizes the City Manager, or designee, to approve up to $8,000 in
documented funeral expenses for City employees who sustain an on-the-job injury
and who subsequently dies from that injury. This Subsection does not apply to
Police and Fire personnel who are covered by collective bargaining agreements.
Section 700~ Special Compensation Provisions, is revised by adding a new
Subsection 708.4, Shift Differential Pay:
This Subsection provides additional compensation for City employees who hold jobs
that are scheduled for night work (outside core business hours), rotating, and/or
weekend shifts in order to insure 24-hour/7-days-per-week service due to operational
needs of the City of Corpus Christi. This provision is intended to improve employee
retention and recruitment for specific positions, such as Police/Fire Dispatchers,
Water and Wastewater Plant personnel, and Gas Department Leak Crew personnel
who are required to work shifts around the clock 7-days per week.
Section 700~ Special Compensation Provisions, is revised by adding a new
Subsection 714, Police and Fire Chiefs' Compensation:
This new provision will clearly delineate add-pays that are authorized to be paid to
the Police Chief and the Fire Chief under State Law, Chapter 143, to ensure that
both Chiefs receive comparable add-pays. These add-pays are in addition to base
pay and include Educational Incentive Pay, Longevity Pay, Certification Pay (e.g.
Pistol Pay), Assignment Pay, and Shift Differential pay, except that according to
Chapter 143, Police and Fire Chiefs are not eligible for Assignment Pay.
Currently, the Police Chief receives Educational Incentive Pay that the Fire Chief
does not receive. This provision is proposed to specifically designate which add-
pays apply to the Police and Fire Chiefs and to ensure that both receive comparable
add-pays.
Page 6 of 7
Section 850, Personally-Owned Vehicle Allowance, Subsection 850.1, is revised
and a new Subsection 850.2 added:
This provision adds a new Subsection 850.2 that authorizes the City Manager to
establish a Car Allowance Policy for the Mayor, Council Members, and employees
assigned to the Executive Pay Plan including Council-Appointed positions, and
other classifications at the discretion of the City Manager on a case-by-case basis.
This allowance is to compensate them for the use of their personal vehicle for City
business. This provision does not apply to Police and Fire personnel covered by
collective bargaining agreements.
This benefit is needed to make the City competitive when extending job offers to
applicants for executive-level positions. In a survey conducted in February 2001; by
the Human Resources Department, car allowances are routinely offered as a
negotiated executive-level benefit in lieu of providing a City Vehicle that, in some
cases, can be used for both personal and business purposes. Cities that include a car
allowance as part of their executive-level total compensation package include many
with whom the City competes in the labor market for well-qualified applicants for
executive positions, e.g. Austin, Beaumont, Arlington, Amarillo, Irving, Carr011ton,
Lubbock, San Antonio, and Harlingen.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
AGENDA ITEM: ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING AND ALLOWING UNDER THE ACT
GOVERNING THE TEXAS MUNICIPAL RETIREMENT SYSTEM, THE CITY OF
CORPUS CHRISTI TO MAKE CURRENT SERVICE AND PRIOR SERVICE
CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE CITY'S ACCOUNT IN THE MUNICIPAL
ACCUMULATION FUND OF THE TEXAS MUNICIPAL RETIREMENT SYSTEM AT
THE ACTUARIALLY DETERMINED RATE OF TOTAL EMPLOYEE
COMPENSATION; ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE FOR THE ORDINANCE;
AND PROVIDING FOR SEVERANCE.
ISSUE: Under the Texas Municipal Retirement System Act (TMRS) that gov6rns
TMRS, the City's contribution rate is determined annually by the actuary. The City's
current contribution rate for calendar year 2001 is 10.92 % [6.98 % normal cost;
3.73% prior service; and 0.21% retiree annuity adjustments to 50% of the change in
the Consumer Price Index (CPI) over a designated twelve-month period). Except for
automatic inclusion by TMRS of 5-year vesting recently approved by the Texas
Legislature, the City's contribution rate effective January 1, 2002, is for the same
level of benefits as in 2001. The 2002 rate is 11.51% amortized over a 25-year
period (7.13% normal cost that includes 0.04% for 5-year vesting; 4.24% prior
service cost that includes 0.01% for 5-year vesting, and 0.14% for 50% of the
change in the Consumer Price Index over a designated twelve-month period). All
participating TMRS cities will be automatically covered by the 5-year vesting
provision unless they opt to remain at 10-year vesting by passing an Ordinance
before December 3 I, 2001 to opt out of the new provision. Five-year vesting brings
TMRS in line with other public retirement systems in Texas, as well as public plans
in other states.
Adoption of 100% updated service credit and 50 % of the change in Consumer Price
Index for retiree annuities are two TMRS provisions that must be adopted
concurrently as required by the TMRS Act. In addition, these provisions must be
adopted by the City to be in compliance with the Police Collective Bargaining
Agreement that requires annual annuity adjustments for retirees equal to 50% of the
change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) over a designated twelve-month period.
The resulting City contribution rate, including these two provisions and 5-year
vesting, will be 11.5 I% effective January 1 2002. (7.13% normal cost that includes
0.04% for 5-year vesting; 4.24% prior service cost that included 0.01% for 5-year
vesting, and 0.14% for 50% of the change in the Consumer Price Index over a
designated twelve-month period).
Page I of 6
In addition, the City's Contribution Rate will change again on August 1, 2002, to
implement the agreement between the City of Corpus Christi and the Police
collective bargaining unit that was approved by the City Council. The agreement
was to adopt the TMRS 20-year service retirement eligibility provision effective
August 1, 2002. This provision enables TMRS contributing members to receive a
service retirement annuity after 20 years of credited service in the System with one
or more municipalities that have adopted a like provision under the TMRS Act. Had
this provision been adopted in 2001, the actuarially determined contribution rate cost
would have been . 16%. The anticipated contribution rate cost for adoption of this
provision in 2002 is anticipated to be a comparable percentage. This Ordinance will
be brought to Council prior to August 1, 2002.
The City's actuarially determined contribution rate effective January 1, 2002,'for
100% updated service credit and 50% of the change in the Consumer Price Index is
11.51%, which is over the statutory maximum contribution rate limit under the
TMRS Act of 11.50% by 0.01%. Whenever the combined normal cost and prior
service contribution rates on January 1, 2002, exceed the City's statutory maximum
contribution rate limit, either the City must elect by ordinance to pay the actuarially
calculated contribution rate or the prior service portion of the rate will be reduced by
the actuary to equal the statutory maximum. If this occurs, the City will not be fully
funding the cost of the plan benefits adopted and this shortfall in funding, unless
offset by actuarial gains in the City's plan, must be made up in future years. By
adopting an ordinance to remove the statutory maximum contribution rate limit, that
has been allowed by the TMRS Act since 1997, the City is agreeing to fully fund the
cost of the pension benefits included in the City's plan, such as 100% Updated
Service Credits and 50% of the change in CPI for a designated 12-month period,
effective January 1, 2002, and each subsequent January thereafter, and for any
additional plan improvements adopted by Ordinance in the future, such as the 20-
year service retirement eligibility criteria provision that must be adopted prior to
August 1, 2002.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Council approval of this Ordinance is required
to remove the statutory contribution rate limit effective January 1, 2002 and each
January thereafter.
FUNDING: The budget for fiscal year 2001-2002 to be adopted by the City
Council in July 2001 provides for $9,755,506 to cover the cost of the City's
contribution rate of 10.92% through December 31, 2001 and 11.51% effective
January 1, 2002.

RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council approve the
adoption of the proposed ordinance to remove the statutory cap on the City's
actuarially determined contribution rate effective January 1, 2002.

ATTACHMENT I
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Under the Texas Municipal Retirement System Act (TMRS) that governs TMRS, the City's
Contribution Rate is annually actuarially determined. The Contribution Rate is composed
of three components:
Normal Cost (the portion of the City's contribution rate that funds the adopted
matching ratio)
The Normal Cost Portion of the City's Contribution Rate is impacted by changes in
the number of members, amount of compensation, increased age of contributing
members, phase in of cost assumptions, cost due to 5-year vesting, and other
actuarial factors.
Prior Service (the portion of the rate for Prior Updated Service Credits; and
Annuity Increases
The Prior Service Portion of the City's Contribution Rate is impacted by changes in
payroll experience and historical trends; actuarial gains or losses (the difference
between actual events compared to actuarial assumptions); phase-in of increases
due to changes of actuarial assumption; 5-year vesting cost; and other actuarial
factors.
Retiree Annuity Adjustments (the portion based on a specific percentage of the
increase in the Consumer Price Index over a designated 12 month period)
Since 1986 the City had designated 40% of the increase in the Consumer Price
Index for retiree annuity adjustments. Beginning in 2001, the State Legislature
revised the percentage options available to cities from between 30% and 70% in
increments of 10%, to a choice of 30%, 50%, or 70%. Effective January 1, 2001,
the adjustment was increased by Ordinance from 40% to 50% of the increase in
the Consumer Price Index. The current collective bargaining agreement for Police
requires a 50% adjustment.
Page 4 of 6
Updated Service Credit: Undated Service Credit uses a member's average monthly
salary over a recent three-year period immediately prior to the study year, and
recalculates the member's retirement credit as if the member had always earned that
salary and made deposits, matched by the City, on the basis of that average monthly
salary.

COUNCIL MEMORANDUM
RECOMMENDATION: Motion approving a supply agreement with Schaefer Systems
International, Charlotte, NC, for approximately 71,000 curbside collection containers, in
accordance with Bid Invitation No. BI-0156-01, based on low bid meeting specifications, for an
estimated three-year expenditure of $2,908,314. The term of the agreement will be for three
years with an option to extend for up to two additional twelve-month periods, subject to the
approval of the City Manager or his designee. Funds have been budgeted by the Solid Waste
Department in FY 00-01 and requested for FY 01-02.
Purpose:
The containers will be used in the City's automated collection
program. The program will eventually automate the process of
collection and disposal for all garbage collection routes throughout
the City. In the first year of the program, the Contractor will
distribfite containers to residents living in the northwest and
extreme southside (island) of the City. In subsequent years,
containers will be distributed to residents living in the central part
of town until the entire City is brought onto the program.
Previous Contract:
As this is a new program for the City, this award will be the initial
supply agreement for containers.
Bid Invitations Issued:
Seven
Bids Received:
Four
Basis of Award:
Low Bid Meeting Specifications
The 96 gallon container offered by Toter, Inc., (Toter) Stateville,
NC, does not meet specification requirements regarding wind
stability. Specifications require the containers to withstand winds
up to 40 mph without being overturned. This requirement is
important to insure the program is successful in automating the
process of garbage collection. Ifa container tums over due to high
winds, the driver of the track will be required to stop the truck and
manually set the container in the upright position for loading. This
will delay the process and defeat the purpose of the program.
The 64 gallon container offered by Cascade Engineering, Grand
Rapids, Michigan does not meet the 40 mph wind stability test.
Wind stability tests on containers are performed by an independent
third party. The containers are tested from all sides (front, sides,
and back) to determine their wind stability limits. The tests
reviewed by the City indicate Toter and Cacade do not meet the 40
mph requirement. Although the City requested pricing for a thirty
gallon container, to the City's best knowledge, no thirty gallon

container will meet the 40 mph requirement. Therefore, the City is
not recommending an award for a thirty gallon container.

The equipment will be financed by the City's lease/purchase
contractor. The estimated interest rate is 3.95%. The actual
interest rate will be determined after acceptance of the equipment.
The equipment will be leased for sixty months and ordered over a
three year period. The equipment will be owned by the City at the
end of the lease period.
Thirty-three thousand, four hundred (33,400) containers will be
ordered in year one for a cost of $1,367,650. The estimated first
year payment ( ten months) is $248,592. The five year total,
including principal of $1,367,650 and interest of $141,740.53 is
$1,509,390.53.
Eighteen thousand, eight hundred (18,800) containers will be
ordered in year two for a cost of $770,332. The estimated annual
payment is $170,033.52. The five-year total including principal of
$770,332 and interest of $79,835.68 is $850,167.68.
Eighteen thousand, eight hundred (18,800) containers will be
ordered in year three for a cost of $770,332. The estimated annual
payment is $170,033.52. The five-year total including principal of
$770,332 and interest of $79,835.68 is $850,167.68.
The total cost for all three years, including principal of $2,908,314
and interest of $301,411.89 is $3,209,725.90.

Review of Bid # 0156-01 - Containers for Automated Collection Program
We have reviewed and evaluated the four bids received to provide containers and assembly for
use with the City's proposed Automated Collection Progrem.
The bid submitted by Toter, Inc. is insufficient in the following areas; (1) the wind tunnel reports
clearly state they do not meet our minimum 40 mph criteria for cart stability (2) the 10 year
warranty does not comply with the 10 year warranty we specify in the Bid, and (3) they do not
provide adequate service response for warranty claims as provided in the bid specifications.
We recommend that Toter is disqualified for these reasons.
The bid submitted by Otto Industries was the highest bid and as such will not be considered.
Otto Industries has claimed that they can provide carts to the City cheaper than their original bid
through the HGAC program. Subsequent correspondence from our department concerning this
offer was forwarded to you and as such we have addressed this claim. The bid specifications
that were advertised are different than those that can be provided by the HGAC progrem. The
items that vary from the City's requirements include warrenty, service, and resistance to
overturning in the wind.
Cascade initially met all requirements. They sent documentation re-affirming that they met the
bid specifications, however upon subsequent investigation and submittal of wind tunnel statistics
from Cascade, we find they do not meet the wind tunnel criteria for the 30 and 60 gallon
containers. We cannot recommend Cascade as successful bidder.
Schaefer Systems International, Inc. submitted the second highest bid. The specifications
established by the City's Request for Proposal are satisfactorily met with Schaefer's bid with the
30-gallon container not meeting (~ur wind criteria. They meet the warranty and wind tunnel
statistics for the 60 & 90-gallon container requirements. We recommend Schaefer Systems
International, Inc. as the successful bidder for the 60 & 90-gallon containers for the Automated
Collection Program.

Director, Solid Waste Services
OPTIONAL PRICING AVAH.ABLE THROUGH HGAC
Containers are under contract with the Houston Galveston Area Council (HGAC) and are
available for the City's consideration of award. However, specification requirements under the
HGAC contract are not equal to the City's bid invitation and. as such, a comparative price
analysis is difficult to develop.
Primarily, the major differences deal with wind stability., length of the contract and firm contract
pricing.
Wind Stability - Wind stability deals with the container's ability to remain in the upright
position when acted upon by a given wind strength. This is of major importance in an
automated collection program as the strategy is to keep the process automated with the least
amount of manual intervention. The City's wind stability, requirement is set at 40 mph. The 40
mph requirement has been deemed as necessary for the high winds experienced by the City of
Corpus Christi. Under the HGAC specification, the containers must withstand a 25 mph test.
This level of wind stability is 37.5% lower than the City's 40 mph requirement. Therefore, in
considering an award under the HGAC conwact, the City must reevaluate their requirements for
wind stability. In doing so, the City will disregard any data collected under that pilot program.
thereby lowering performance standards. Additionally, any container purchased under the
HGAC contract that is found tipped over due to a wind gust greater than 25 mph will be in full
compliance with the HGAC specification and the City will be fomed to manually work those
containers without any recourse under the contract. This process will be detrimental to the
success of the program and tend to reduce any cost savings initiatives projected with automation.
Lenmh of Contract - The HGAC contract was awarded in December 2000 for a two-year period
and runs through December, 2002. However, pricing under the HGAC contract is firm through
December 2001. After that date, the HGAC contract allows for a price increase. Additionally,
the contract will have to be rebid after December 2002 ~vith pricing subject to change upon
receipt of new bids. Therefore. the HGAC contract does not satisfy, the City's long term firm
pricing commitment for containers.
The City's bid establishes a three-year contract that will run throueh Aueust 2004. Pricing, under
the City's bid will be firm through August 2004. Additionally, th~City~ bid allows for tx~o
additional twelve-month extensions where the price could be extended for two additional years.
There~bre, un award under the City's bid will minimize the risk of price escalation througl~ the
year 2006 and as such. meets the City's long term requirements.
Cost Analysis - Due to price uncertainty past December 2001 under the HGAC contract~ the
price comparison is limited to containers ordered for the first year's requirements.
The comparison indicates the cost for the containers purchased under the HGAC contract ~voutd
be approximately $90.564.64 less than under the City's bid (see Exhibit A). However. this price
difference would be at the cost of lowering the City's wind stability performance standard.
Additionally. due to the unknown pricing beyond the year 2001. the price difference could be
offset by price increases under the second year of the contract and also under a new HGAC bid

appropriations by $500,000 in the No. 1020 Fund for office space
improvements to the Frost Bank Building; and declaring an emergency.
PROJECT BACKGROUND:
The approved lease agreement provided for a 21-year lease of 41,289 square feet contained in the
Frost Bank Building located at 2402 Leopard Street. Frost Bank granted the City a "Tenant
Improvement Allowance" in an amount not to exceed $500,000 as part of a "build-out" allowance
for remodeling, repairs, and associated architectural improvements. This amendment to the existing
lease will provide for a loan of $500,000 to assist in funding the necessary renovations.
Initial monthly lease payments of $1,961.96 to Frost National Bank are deferred and will begin 25
months after occupancy of the fourth floor. The second and third floors will be ready for occupancy
two months after the fourth floor is completed. At that time, subsequent lease payments will
increase to $6,577.45 per month.
The payments for the loan will begin on August 15, 2001 with an initial payment of $5,309.00 and
monthly payments of $4,315.98 thereafter. The payments will continue until August 15, 2011 when
the balance $353,750 will be due and payable. At that time, the City has the option to pay offthe
balance in full or refinance. Additionally, the loan can be repaid without penalty during the term of
the loan. The effective interest rate is 8.425% based on the prime rate offered to commercial
customers. This rate is higher than the normal bond rate of the City because the loan is tax restricted.

Memorandum
TO:
Board Members of the Corpus Christi Community Improvement Corporation
FROM: W. Thomas Utter, Assistant City Manager
DATE:
June 27, 2000
SUBJECT: Request for Annual Meeting of the Corpus Christi Community Improvement
Corporation (CCClC) on July 10, 2001
I am requesting that the annual meeting of the Corpus Christi Community Improvement
Corporation (CCCIC) be held during the Council meeting of July 10, 2001 to consider the
following items:
Appointment of Officers: Each year at its annual meeting, the CCCIC elects officers.
The office of President is currently vacant, while the position of Vice President is held
by Rex A. Kinnison. The remaining positions are functionary positions in nature which
traditionally are held by staff. We recommend that the functionary positions currently
held by staff be re-elected.
General Manager's Report: The CCCIC was originally incorporated as a nonprofit.
Corporation in 1976 as the Corpus Christi Housing Improvement Corporation. The
Corporation was originally intended to simply provide a vehicle for the City's single
family rehabilitation program; however, over the years the Corporation has taken a
broader role in not only handling CDBG funds, but also HOME funds, certain ESG
funds, and special CDBG projects for the City. Over $24 million of funding has been
generated through the CCCIC and approximately 9,000 units have been assisted
through the CCCIC's many programs.
The CCClC began a partnership with the CCHFC in June 1996 to assist 4,000 units by
the end of the year 2000. Through July 2001, the two corporations and their programs
have assisted over 5,000 units and have generated over $101 million for these
assistance programs (more complete descriptions of the programs are included within
the CCHFC's annual meeting material).
The CCCIC also has undertaken a number of other community improvement programs.
An example of the different types of programs is the complete renovation of the old
Police Department facility into a leased facility for the Workforce Development
Corporation. This project was accomplished both with funds of the corporation as well
as a loan from a consortium of local banks.
=
Authorizing the Execution of an Agreement with LULAC Village Park Apartments
for a loan in the amount of $370,700 for replacement of existing aluminum wiring.
L.U.L.A.C. Village Park Apartments, a 152-unit development located at 1417 Horne
Road is requesting $370,700 of HOME CHDO funding for replacement of existing 35
year old aluminum wiring with copper wiring in electrical panels and feeders to upgrade
their electrical service. They are confident that the costs of the project will increase if
completed in phases. LULAC Village Park Apartments, a Section 8 property operating
on government subsidy, provides housing to Iow and moderate income persons and
their families. We recommend approval.
Authorizing the Execution of an Agreement with the Nueces County Community
Action Agency for a loan in the amount of $347,820 of HOME CHDO funds for
development of a planned 30-lot subdivision. Nueces County Community Action
Agency (NCCAA) is requesting $347,820 of HOME CHDO funding for the development
of a planned subdivision in Corpus Christi. The project would include the acquisition
of 5.86 acres of undeveloped tract of land located in the south side of Corpus Christi
and for infrastructure of said land. Included are costs for platting fees, utilities, street,
sidewalks and all other associated costs in the development phase. Based on current
available information, the proposed land will be platted within the city zoning guidelines
of R-1 B, 6,000 square feet and can accommodate 30 lots for residential use at a cost
of $11,594 per lot. Thirty (30) houses will be built on the 30 lots and will become
available to families from Iow to moderate income recruited through the NCCAA
marketing process. This project will work in conjunction with their Homebuyer
Assistance Program, thus, allowing for $20,000 per eligible family for down payment
assistance. These funds will be repaid to the CCClC at closing. We recommend
approval.
5. Authorizing the Execution of an Agreement with Housing and Community
Services, Inc. (Formerly Terra-Genesis (TG) 110, Inc.), aka Lexington Manor
Apartments for a loan in the amount of $300,000 of HOME CHDO funds for
replacement of underground hot and cold water lines. Housing and Community
Services, Inc. (Formerly Terra-Genesis (TG) 110, Inc.), aka Lexington Manor
Apartments, located at 3126 B. Ray Ellison is requesting HOME CHDO funding in the
amount of $300,000 for the replacement of the original underground hot and cold water
lines that have suffered major deterioration due to age and soil conditions. On the
average, the 152-unit development has been spending upwards of $30,000 per year
on repairs to this essential operating system. TG110, Inc. provides housing to Iow and
moderate income persons and their families. We recommend approval.
6. Authorizing the General Manager to amend the CCCIC Rehabilitation Loan
Handbook to continue the Rental Rehabilitation Program under current HUD
regulations and amend the Program to provide loans at three percent interest.
The National Rental Rehabilitation Program was authorized by Section 17 of the United
States Housing Act of 1937, which was enacted into law as Section 301 of the Housing
and Urban-Rural Recovery Act of 1983. The program authorized the Secretary of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to make grants to communities to help support
the rehabilitation of privately owned real property to be used for residential rental
purposes. The program was designed to help provide affordable standard rental
housing to Iow income families. Since the program's inception back in 1984 forty loans
have been provided to rehabilitate 346 units. During this period $609,831 was
expended from the National Rental Rehabilitation Program and $126,834 from program
income. Additionally, $360,272 was provided by the CDBG match program and
$453,005 was provided by the owners as their match to participate in the program.
The National Rental Rehabilitation Program was discontinued by HUD back in 1992
and current regulations allow cities to use the income generated by the program for
activities eligible under the CDBG, HOME or the National Rental Rehabilitation
Program. Staff recommends that the Program be revised to reflect existing regulations
and also be amended to change the program parameters from providing loans at 3
percent interest, with a dollar for dollar match and five-year deferment to providing
loans at 3 percent interest with no match requirement. After HUD approves the
revisions to reflect current regulations and Program amendments, staff will implement
the revisions and start marketing the program under its new parameters. We
recommend approval.
Authorizing the General Manager to amend the New Construction Homebuyer
Program in the amount of $500,000 from HOME Program funds to increase the
amortizable second lien from $15,000 to $20,000. Staff recommends supplementing
the New Construction Home Buyer Program with an additional $500,000 from HOME
FY 2000 Program funds. The Nueces County Community Action Agency would receive
$250,000 and the Community Development Corporation would receive $250,000 to
provide assistance to an additional 100 home buyers. The funds would be used to
supplement the $15,000 by an additional $5,000 thereby increasing the assistance
being provided to $20,000 and would only be available only to those home buyers who
are below 75% of the median income. The New Construction Home Buyer Program
was developed to assist home buyers with the purchase of a new home. Under this
program the buyer is provided a Forgivable Loan at 0% interest, not to exceed $15,000
that is amortized over 15 years. Should the buyer live in the house for the entire 15-
year period then the total loan is forgiven. If the buyer moves out before the 15-year
period then the loan is pro rated at $1,000 per year. The program is very successful
and there is a demand for more assistance. However, home buyers who are below 75%
of the median income are not qualifying because the $15,000 is not enough to buy
down the cost of the house to the point it would result in affordable monthly payments.
Funds will be provided on a sliding scale starting with an additional $1,000 at 75% and
increasing to an additional $5,000 as income decreases. We recommend approval.
Appointment of four new committee members to the Loan Review Committee. The
Loan Review Committee was established to review and approve loans being provided
through the Single Family Rehabilitation Loan Program, Rental Rehabilitation Loan
Program and Commercial Rehabilitation Loan Program. Presently, the committee has
four positions that need to be filled due terms expiring for Mr. Louis Garza (Health &
Human Services), Mr. Bob Jones (Clergy), Ms. Beverly Bacak (Financial), and they did
not wish to be reappointed. Mr. Randy Farrar (Construction) resigned from the
committee prior to his term expiring.

Memorandum
TO:
Board Members of the Corpus Christi Housing Finance Corporation
FROM: W. Thomas Utter, Assistant City Manager
DATE: June 27, 2001
SUBJECT: Request for Annual Meeting of the Corpus Christi Housing Finance
Corporation (CCHFC) on July 10, 2001
I am requesting that a meeting of the Corpus Christi Housing Finance Corporation
(CCHFC) be held during the Council meeting of July 10, 2001 to consider the following
item:
Election of Officers: Each year at its annual meeting, the CCHFC elects officers.
The office of President is currently held by John Longoria, while the position of Vice
President is held by Mark Scott. The remaining positions are functionary positions in
nature, which traditionally ars held by staff. We recommend that the functionary
positions currently held by staff be rs-elected.
General Manager's Report: The CCHFC was established in 1980. The corporation
has issued approximately $110 milllion in single family mortgage bonds prior to 1986,
approximately $63 million in multi-family mortgage revenue bonds in 1982 and 1983,
and approximately $140 million in Mortgage Credit Certificates since 1986. The
CCHFC has assisted in the pumhase of approximately 4,000 single family homes and
development of approximately 1,250 apartment dwelling units. The CCHFC also has
participated as administrator for the Nueces County Housing Finance Corporation, the
Ingleside-Aransas Pass Housing Finance Corporation, the Portland Housing Finance
Corporation, and the Coastal Bend Housing Finance Corporation. In total, the CCHFC
has provided slightly over $330 million of housing assistance during its existence
assisting in the creation of approximately 4,550 dwelling units. In addition, the CCHFC
has provided over $3 million of funding to the City of Corpus Christi for a multiplicity of
economic development and City public purpose projects unrelated directly to housing.
In June 1996, the CCHFC and the Corpus Christi Community Improvement Corporation
(CCCIC) entered into a very innovative and aggressive housing partnership, bringing
together a number of groups "...to encourage, promote and work for housing
opportunities for all citizens of the City of Corpus Christi." The partnership developed
four major action strategies, which were as follows:
* Promotion and encouragement of home ownership opportunities.
* Preservation of the existing housing stock through rehabilitation and neighborhood
improvement.
* Provision of affordable rental housing for Iow to moderate income families within the
community.
* Provision of essential services and shelter for those temporary homeless individuals
and families.
I am extremely pleased to report to the CCHFC that as of July 1, 2001, the partnership
has resulted in the creation, assistance to, or funding of 5062 units. This involves
$101,405,600 in assistance (see Exhibit 1). These efforts have has involved
organizations across the City of Corpus Christi who are all to be commended. The
staff of the Housing and Community Development Department of the City of Corpus
Christi has done an absolutely outstanding job in these undertakings. Our partners at
HUD should also be highly complimented. In addition, the Coastal Bend Housing
Finance Corporation, the Corpus Christi Board of Realtors, the Corpus Christi Builders
Association, the Nueces County Community Action Agency, and the banks and other
organizations involved in the Corpus Christi Community Development Corporation have
labored tirelessly to make this goal a reality.
Approval of a resolution authorizing the maintenance, rehabilitation and sale of
two residences acquired in the single family mortgage program. Two residences,
902 Ronald and 4321 Christi, were acquired by the Corporation in the single family
mortgage program. Staff recommends that the residences be sold to eligible Iow and
moderate income families. The houses need maintenance and rehabilitation prior to
sale. Authorization to maintain, rehabilitate, and sell the homes is requested.

Memorandum
TO:
Board Members of the Corpus Christi Industrial Development Corporation
FROM: W. Thomas Utter, Assistant City Manager
DATE: June 27, 2001
SUBJECT: Request for Annual Meeting of the Corpus Christi Industrial Development
Corporation (CCIDC) on July 10, 2001
I am requesting that a meeting of the Corpus Christi industrial Development Corporation
(CCClC) be held dudng the Council meeting of July 10, 2001 to consider the following item:
1. Election of Officers: Each year at its annual meeting, the CCIDC elects officers. The
office of President is currently vacant, while the position of Vice President is held by
Henry Garrett. The remaining positions are functionary positions in nature which
traditionally are held by staff. We recommend that the functionary positions currently
held by staff be re-elected.
2. General Manager's Annual Report: The CCIDC was established in 1980 under the
Texas Industrial Development Corporations Act of 1979. The CCIDC has as its general
charge the assistance to and encouragement of industrial, manufacturing, warehousing,
and commercial activities within Corpus Christi and the Corpus Christi area. The
CCIDC's principal tool has been the utilization of Industrial Revenue Bonds which are
tax exempt under federal law. These bonds are not a liability of the City, County, or the
State and are solely payable from the loan repayment agreements on various industrial
warehousing or commercial projects. In addition, some of the bonds are backed by
Letters of Credit or corporate guarantees.
The Corporation generates income from fees that it charges for the issuance of the
bonds. Since its establishment, the Corporation has utilized these fees for various
economic development studies and projects for the City of Corpus Christi in an amount
in excess of $300,000. These projects have included such items as joint studies of Port
activities and small capital improvement projects.
The CCIDC has issued approximately $63 million in industrial revenue bonds during its
existence which have been responsible for assisting in the financing of a number of
projects, including the following:
a. Hotel-Motel: Assisted in the creation of over 1,500 hotel and motel reoms (Holiday
Inn Airport, Sandy Shores, Marriott (Omni Marina), Days Inn, and Hershey Hotel
(Omni Bayfront)).
b. Warehousing and distribution: 35,000 sq. ft., including Williams Distributing Co. and
W. W. Grainger, Inc.
c. Industrial: 100,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing facilities for the De Dietrich USA, Inc.
project.
The CCIDC has played a major role in the establishment of the City's State Enterprise
Zone. The CClDC paid for the Enterprise Zone expansion applications and in 1997 paid
for the submission of a new Enterprise zone application. Since the Zone was originally
created in 1989, State approved Enterprise Zone designated projects have generated
over 3,270 jobs with total investment of approximately $2.2 billion. I have attached a
synopsis of the City of Corpus Christi's Enterprise Zone.
The CCIDC also funded an architectural study of the old Nueces County Courthouse
by the Killis-Almond firm. The CClDC holds a piece of park land on Oso Creek
Parkway which was purchased with CCIDC funds. This land is now being used as the
City's match for a Coastal Management grant to construct a scenic overlook on Oso
Creek.
The latest CCIDC project was the issuance of bonds for the Airborne Freight
Corporation facility at Corpus Christ International Airport in the amount of $1.1 million.
Authorizing a one-time $5,000 matching grant to the Hispanic Contractors
Association of South Texas to assist in the development of a one-stop minority
business center. The Hispanic Contractors Association of South Texas has requested
a one time $5,000 matching grant to assist in the development of a one-stop minority
business center. They propose to partner with other organizations to provide
management, plans, bid and contract assistance. We recommend approval.
Assistant City Manager
TEXAS ENTERPRISE ZONE PROGRAM SUMMARY
CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI ENTERPRISE ZONE
PROGRAM STATUS
Since its inception in 1988, Texas Enterprise Zones have attracted approximately $5 billion
in capital investment. As of July 1, 2001, one hundred seventy-six (176) zones have been
approved by the Texas Department of Commerce (the "Department") which administers
the program.
The City of Corpus Christi's Enterprise Zone began in 1989. Roughly, half of the entire
investment in all enterprise zones within the State of Texas have been within the Corpus
Christi Enterprise Zones (approximately $2.2 billion). There have also been a total of 3,270

20 $129.8 M
69 $13.4 M
1,416 $10.7 M
696 $4.6 M
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA FOR THE ENTERPRISE ZONE
An enterprise zone ("zone") is a geographic area with the following physical and economic
characteristics. The intent of the governing body to consider an area as a zone must be
first published and posted for seven (7) days before official action can be taken. The
proposed zone must:
Have a continuous boundary;
Be at least one square mile, but not more than 10 square miles or 5% of total area
of nominating government. In no case can it be more than 20 square miles; and
Have one and one-half times the local, state or national employment rate, or a 12%
population loss for the last 6 years or a loss of at least 4% in the past 3 years, and
One or more of the following criteria must be met,
a. Area is Iow income poverty area (a minimum 20% poverty rate);
b. Area is eligible for UDAG funding;
c. At least 70% of residents or households have income below 80% of the
median income of the locality or state, whichever is lower; and/or
d. Chronic abandonment, substantial tax arrears, substantial business losses,
or a declared disaster area; or the
e. Area has had a substantial increase in juvenile crime activity.
ENTERPRISE ZONES AND REINVESTMENT ZONES
Enterprise Zones are automatically considered to be reinvestment zones without further
action by the nominating governing authority (Government Code, 2303.507).
Reinvestment zones are the precursor of local tax benefits including city, county and/or
school district tax abatement ("TA") or they may be the precursor to be establishment of
a tax increment finance ("T1F") district.
STATE AND LOCAL INCENTIVES FOR TEXAS ENTERPRISE ZONES

Local property tax abatement
Tax increment financing permitted in zone
Refund of state sales and use taxes (local sales tax rebate is optional
Deduction of state franchise tax
State and local regulatory relief or expedited processing
Grant and loan preferences, including priority funding for Smart Jobs
Infrastructure improvements to the site (both local and state)
Reduced development, water and sewer fees at the site
Up to 5% reduction in utility rates from the lowest rate offered to any business in the
enterprise zone, including standby and economic development rates.
If the local utility does not offer the reduction, a business may petition the PUC directly for
the incentive and the PUC is empowered to order the reduction.
REQUIREMENTS FOR ENTERPRISE PROJECTS
Projects are designated by the Department on a score sheet basis. Factors considered
in the evaluation include the amount of capital investment, the number of new jobs created,
and the distress level of the community. Each local governing authority nominates by
resolution the business for Project consideration. The Department may only designate up
to 65 businesses as Projects and may only rebate up to $8.0 million in state sales and use
taxes. The qualified business must maintain the same level of employment of qualified
employees for three years as existed at the time qualified for a refund. Each zone may
nominate only four projects every two years. However, if the project application is scored
in the top 25% of the applications received that quarter, the zone may nominate additional
bonus projects so long as there are less than 65 projects designated thus far by Commerce
A business must meet certain requirements to be designated an Enterprise Project by the
Texas Department of Commerce, First, the business must be physically located in an
Enterprise Zone or have solid plans to move into a zone. Second, the business must
agree to hire 26% of its new employees who are either (1) residents of the Enterprise zone,
or (2) economically disadvantaged.
These new hires do not include turnover or replacement personnel, This percentage must
be maintained during the time a business is considered an enterprise project. Normally,
the project life is five (5) years. Third, the business must enter into a contractual
agreement with the Department stipulating that the business will maintain separate books
and records for activities within the zone and that the Department may inspect these
materials for program compliance with reasonable notice.
QUALIFYING FACTORS FOR ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED INDIVIDUALS
One out of every four (25%) new qualified employees hired by the Project must be an
economically disadvantaged person or a resident of the local Enterprise Zone. The
definitions of such persons are broad and are generally based on Iow income or other
poverty indicators. Specifically, one of four new employees must meet one of the following
descriptions:
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
Have been unemployed for the preceding three (3) months; or
Receive some type of public assistance, such as food stamps; or
Be eligible for the JTPA (Job Training Partnership Act) program; or
Be a handicapped individual; or
Be an inmate entering the workforce after serving in a correctional facility; or
Earn less than 80% of the median area income (U.S. Census); or
Be on parole from the Texas Youth Commission; or
Live in an Enterprise Zone(s) approved by the local governing body.
The local Texas Employment Commission office is generally very helpful in assisting the
Project in identifying a labor pool, which meets the criteria stated above. In many cases
where a governing authority has an existing zone, a labor pool may already be in place.
Before a project can qualify for tax rebates, each qualified employee must have worked at
least 1,820 hours within a year.
