Mayor Pro Tem Kinnison called the meeting to order in the Basement Training Room of City
Hall. City Secretary Chapa checked the roll and verified that a quorum was present to conduct the
meeting and Mr. Kinnison noted that there was a quorum of the Arts and Cultural Commission.
Dr. Avila said the commission meets once a month to discuss aesthetic and artistic issues and
they requested the joint meeting with the Council to discuss, in particular, how the pementage for
art ordinance affects the bond projects that were recently approved. She said the members studied
the ordinance and recommended that some of the smaller projects not receive the percentage funding
so that they could focus instead on the larger projects, including the seawall, the convention center
and the arena.
*Mayor Neal and Council Member Chesney arrived at approximately 12:15 p.m.
Dr. Avila discussed the importance of public art and its role in Corpus Christi. She noted that
many people travel to larger cities to experience art but not everyone has the opportunity to do so,
particularly children. In addition, providing artistic offerings in Corpus Christi increases the city's
ability to attract tourists. With regard to the percentage for public art for the seawall project, Dr.
Avila said the commission recommended that the funds (approximately $20,000 to $40,000) be used
to hire a consultant to assist with planning a possible seascape design.
Minutes - Joint Meeting
August 28, 2001

Regarding the arena and convention center, Dr. Avila said the commission would like the
architectural finn designing those projects and a Development Committee of the ACC to each
recommend a list of three to five artists, from which one artist will be selected upon the consensus
of both groups. The Development Committee will then recommend that artist to the whole ACC,
which in turn will make a recommendation to the City Council.
Mayor Neal said he had been delayed in another meeting and he asked the commission
members to introduce themselves, which they did.
Responding to Council Member Kelly, Mr. Noe said the arena budget includes a line item
for art of 11/4% of the $28 million construction cost, which comes to about $400,000. The seawall
project includes $1.5 million for streetscaping and enhancements. Mr. Garcia said that amount will
need to be used for excavating and replacing the sidewalk in front of the seawall. Mr. Noe noted that
1 ¼% of the $1.5 million amounts to about $20,000. Mr. Noe said that based on the estimated
construction costs of the convention center, the allocation for art will be about $250,000.
In reply to additional Council questions, Mr. Bray said the allocation applies against a city
construction project which is defined in the ordinance as a "building, parking facility, park, arterial
street, sidewalk, or any portion thereof."
Council Member Longoria discussed the concept of an art master plan and described
successful plans in other cities. Additional discussion ensued about that issue. Mayor Neal
commented that he had served as a member of the Municipal Arts Committee and he believes
Corpus Christi does have a commitment to public art but the problem is how to fund institutional
projects.
Returning to the discussion about the percentage for art allocations, Mr. Noe pointed out that
all the expenditures have to be spent on the project itself, which he explained. Mr. Garcia said there
are many ways to utilize those funds in order to create an artistic impression throughout a facility.
For example, the theme of the Spanish missions is highlighted throughout the San Antonio
Convention Center through repeated patterns in the carpeting and in other ways.
Mr. Longoria made a motion to direct staff to bring back for the Council's consideration a
request for proposals for the percentage for public art for the seawall project for planning and design
between $20,000 and $40,000. The motion was seconded by Mr. Chesney. Mayor Neal called for
a voice vote and the motion passed unanimously.
Cotmcil Member Scott referred to the percentage for public art for the arena and convention
center projects and he questioned how the funds can be used. Mr. Bray said the ordinance states that
"the works of art shall be permanent (and) may be integral to the architecture...." Mr. Kemmerer said
the commission members were looking at a stand-alone piece of sculpture. Mr. Kinnison said staff
has pointed out that the budget for the convention center is very limited.
Minutes - Joint Meeting
August 28, 2001
Page 3
Dr. Avila said the members of the ACC's Development Committee are formulating their
concept about the kind of art they would like to see in the convention center and arena; however, she
pointed out that an artist has not yet been selected and considered by the full commission. Council
Member Colmenero said an RFP takes time and the ground breaking for the arena project will be
occurring in the near future.
Mr. Chesney made a motion to endorse the commission's recommendation regarding the process
for the percentage for public art for the arena and convention center projects as follows:
A. Architectural finn to recommend three to five artists
B. Development Committee of Arts and Cultural Commission to recommend three to five artists
C. Development Committee and architectural firm reach consensus on artist
D. Development Committee brings consensual recommendation to Arts and Cultural Commission
E. Arts and Cultural Commission brings recommendtion to City Council
Mr. Colmenero seconded Mr. Chesney's motion. Mayor Neal called for a voice vote and the
motion passed (Kelly abstaining).
There being no other business, Mayor Neal adjourned the joint meeting at 1:10 p.m. on August
28, 2001.

Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 5, mowing services. Responding to Council Member
Kelly, Mr. Mike Barrera, Procurement Manager, explained that the city has other mowing contracts
in place but this contract is for areas that had been the responsibility of Park and Recreation. He said
this contract will provide for a higher level of service. Mr. Tony Cisneros, Director of Park and
Recreation, added that the contract will free up city crows so they can mow the parks on a more
regular basis, which he explained. Mr. Kelly also asked about the mowing of the medians on Leopard
Street and Mr. Barrem said they are included in this contract.
Council Member Scott asked if the Park and Recreation Advisory Committee had reviewed
this proposal. Mr. Cisneros said they reviewed it some time ago. He also discussed work that will
be performed on the medians on Park Road 22 and in the parks on Padre Island. He said the intent
is to match or exceed the city's current maintenance levels, especially on the island. Council Member
Colmenero requested a list of the mowing frequency and areas included in this contract as well as
areas that are mowed by city staff. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes:
Motion approving a supply agreement with the following companies for the following

Council Member Longoria asked how the city knows what the police overtime costs will be.
Mr. Garcia said the city budgets that based on the prior year's experience. Mr. Longoria requested
additional information. Council Member Garrett asked staff to also include the amount of money that
Bayfest spends for off-duty police officers to provide security services on the grounds. Mr. Garcia
said city staff does not have direct access to that information but they can request it from Bayfest
officials. Mayor Neal recessed the Council meeting to read the day's proclamations.
Upon reconvening, Mayor Neal referred to Item 23, recognition of continued accreditation
status by the American Association of Museums. City Manager Garcia said this recognition is a
tribute to Mr. Rick Stryker, Director of the museum, his staff and the support provided by the Friends
of the Museum. Mr. Stryker said all those people work very hard to maintain the museum's quality.
He introduced Mr. Delbert Hooper, Chairman of the Museum Auxiliary, and Ms. Gwen Henzi,
Chairperson of the Museum Advisory Committee. On behalf of the Council, Mayor Neal thanked
all those involved and he commented on the museum's new addition.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting

Mayor Neal referred to Item 22, and a motion was made, seconded and passed to open the
public hearing to consider the proposed ad valorem tax revenue increase.
Mr. Mike Harty, Controller, explained that the FY 2001-02 city budget includes a proposed
tax rate of $0.6441745 per $100 valuation, which exceeds the effective tax rate by 103%;
consequently, state law requires that the Council hold a public hearing on the proposed rate. Mayor
Neal called for public comment on Item 22 and there was none. Mr. Scott made a motion to close
the public hearing, seconded by Mr. Colmenero and passed.
The Mayor stated that the City Council is scheduled to vote on the tax rate at the meeting to
be held on September 11, 2001, beginning at 2 p.m. in City Hall.
Mayor Neal referred to the presentations on the day's agenda. City Manager Garcia said staff
was withdrawing Items 24 and 25 regarding the quarterly report for Bond Issue 2000 and the fourth
quarter report on the city's Risk Management program.
The Mayor opened discussion on Item 26, a presentation on the reservoir operating plan and
standby groundwater supply. Mr. Ron Massey, Assistant City Manager for Public Works and
Utilities, used a computer presentation to first discuss the Mary Rhodes Pipeline, which runs 101
miles from Lake Texana to the Stevens Water Treatment Plant in Corpus Christi. The pipeline was
completed on time (in two years) and under budget at a cost of $127 million. He said the pipeline
initially had the capacity to pump 77,000 acre-feet per year and with the addition of more pumps it
will have a future capacity of 112,000 af/yr. Mr. Massey said the project was expedited through the
participation of other agencies: Port of Corpus Christi Authority, Nueces River Authority (NRA),
and Lavaca-Navidad River Authority (LNKA). He noted that bond sales of $135 million were
authorized and $127,165,000 in bonds were actually sold (a difference of $7,835,000).
Mr. Massey discussed the impact of the Lake Texana water supply on the firm yield of the
reservoir system, which consists of both Lake Corpus Christi and Choke Canyon. The firm yield in
1997 without the Lake Texana water was 168,600 affyr and in 1999 with the inclusion of that water
the firm yield was 209,700 affyr, an increase of 41,100 af/yr (24.4%). However, since there has not
been any rain in the watershed, the reservoirs are not delivering at the 168,600 afiyr rate.
The Assistant City Manager also compared the Lake Texana water with desalination. In 1996
the City Council at that time was determining which long-term water supply options to pursue,
including a pipeline and desalination. At that time, the Council considered the information gathered
by the City of Tampa, Florida, which decided in May 1996 to construct a desalination plant. In
October 1996 the Corpus Christi City Council decided to proceed with the Lake Texana pipeline.
Mr. Massey pointed out that Tampa Bay's desalination plant, which may not be completed until
December 2002, will provide 28,000 affyr of water, while Corpus Christi has a contract with LNRA
for a minimum of 41,800 atYyr of water; to date the pipeline has delivered 88,000 acre-feet of water
to the treatment plant. He said if the Council had chosen the desalination option in 1996, the plant
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
August 28, 2001
Page 10
would not yet be operational and no additional water would have been generated, resulting in a
combined reservoir level of 20% today.
Responding to Council Member Garrett, Mr. Massey said there are about 325,000 gallons
of water in one acre-foot. Mr. Ed Garafia, Water Superintendent, said that in the last several weeks,
water customers have consumed about 90 million gallons per day (MGD), of which approximately
42 MGD or 50% of the daily amount is being provided by the Mary. Rhodes Pipeline. In reply to
Council Member Noyola, Mr. Massey said the city currently has a contract with LNRA for 4,500
additional acre-feet of water when it is available, which will add another 5% to the total amount
being taken at this time. In addition, LNRA will seek approval from the Texas Natural Resource
Conservation Commission (TNRCC) and the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB) to make
an additional 7,500 acre-feet of interruptible water available to Corpus Christi. Mr. Massey also
pointed out that since the city is drawing on Lake Texana water, the drain on the reservoirs is much
slower than it would be without that additional water supply.
Council Member Kelly asked about the impact of the Lake Texana water on the firm yield
of the reservoir system. Mr. Massey explained that the firm yield is an estimate of how many acre-
feet of water could be obtained from the reservoir system until it was pumped dry (assuming the
drought of record). He said that while the firm yield is increased to 209,700 af/yr with the Texana
water, this region actually only uses about 130,000 af/yr. He added that the Lake Texana watershed
is much mom productive than Corpus Christi's watershed and the Garwood water would come from
a third watershed.
Council Member Colmenero asked what other steps can be taken to reduce consumption in
the coming months. Mr. Massey said the lawn watering restrictions are still in effect and he noted
that the growing season will be coming to an end, which will reduce demand to about 60 MGD as
opposed to 90 MGD at this time.
Mr. Garafia discussed the Lake Corpus Christi-Choke Canyon Reservoir operating plan. He
explained that the Nueces River basin is supplied by the Nueces, Frio and Atascosa rivers and
consists of Lake Corpus Christi, which is impounded by Wesley Seale Dam (completed in 1958) and
Choke Canyon Dam (completed in 1982 and filled for the first time in 1987).
He said the reservoir system's current operating policy states in part that in order to provide
maximum dependable yield from the two reservoirs, the water level in Lake Corpus Christi will be
allowed to drop to elevation 74 feet before water is released from Choke Canyon reservoir. He noted
that there is a 2,000 acre-foot per month constant flow of water from Choke Canyon down the Frio
River to Nueces River. Mr. Garafia also discussed the operation and locations of the Alice, Mathis
and Beeville pipelines. He said that currently Lake Corpus Christi is at 80.6 feet and Choke Canyon
is at 196.0 feet.
The next presentation was regarding the standby groundwater supply system, also known as
the supplemental well program. Mr. Garafia said they consist of the following: four wells located
near the city of Campbellton in Atascosa County which were installed in 1951 during a critical
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
August 28, 2001
Page 11
drought; four wells owned by the city at Lake Corpus Christi; eight wells on property leased by the
city which were acquired during the 1980s drought; and 11 pieces of property leased by the city with
no wells which were also acquired during that drought.
Mr. Garafia said that extensive repairs are required in order to reactivate the four
Campbellton wells. He noted that since the water from those wells can be as hot as 148°F, the
TNRCC requires that it be cooled before it is discharged into the Atascosa River. In addition, due
to channel losses, very little of the well water will reach its intended destination and a permit for
exporting water will be required. He also discussed the four city-owned wells and the eight city-
leased wells, half of which are not operational or require extensive repairs. He said those wells
discharge into the Nueces River or its tributaries with resulting evaporation and channel losses and
the water quality is fair due to the presence of chlorides.
Mr. Gamfia said the city pays over $50,000 in annual lease costs in addition to operation and
maintenance costs. He said many of the leases are nearing the end of the next to last five-year option
period. Mr. Garafia said that other opportunities for standby water sources include utilizing the Mary
Rhodes Pipeline, which has the capacity to transport additional water, such as the additional
interruptible water from Lake Texana. In addition, there are no evaporative losses and the
groundwater quality is better along the pipeline route. He said at the next Council meeting staff
intends to present the standby groundwater supply evaluation report prepared by HDR Engineering.
Mr. Scott asked if the city is currently in the drought of record, and Mr. Garafia replied
affirmatively. Mr. Kelly Payne of HDR Engineering said the previous drought of record occurred
in the 1960s and lasted 42 months. He said the last time the reservoirs were full was in 1993 and he
noted that rebounding can occur very quickly in this water system, often through the presence of a
hurricane or tropical storm.
Mr. James Dodson, Deputy Executive Director of the Nueces River Authority, said the
TWDB has compared the current drought with previous ones. They concluded that not only has this
last eight-year period been drier but there have also been many more days of temperatures above
100°F. Consequently, he said, no one knows when this drought will end.
Responding to Mr. Colmenero and Mr. Kelly, Mr. Garafia further discussed the operation of
the wells and water costs (which was discussed in more detail in the following presentation). Mr.
Garafia pointed out that the city's aquifer is not sustainable indefinitely and the well system could
probably only deliver about 15 MGD. In addition, the city's water treatment plant cannot remove
chlorides. He said staff will have to come back with an engineering evaluation to answer the
questions raised by Mr. Kelly.
Mayor Neal said the city does not have reliable data with regard to the operation of the wells
since they have never been utilized (except for testing). Mr. Massey reiterated that HDR Engineering
has completed its study about the well system but this presentation was only meant to summarize
the status of the wells; additional information will be provided later. Mr. Garcia said that another
option is to find a good source of groundwater, lease the land, and mine the water.

In response to Council Member Kinnison, Mr. Dodson briefly discussed the Trans-Texas
Water Study and studies conducted in response to Senate Bill 1 regarding various water supplies.
Mr. Noyola asked additional questions about the operation of the wells, to which Mr. Garafia replied.
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 30 regarding the Garwood pipeline (water from the
Colorado River). Using a computer presentation, Mr. Garafia explained that in 1990 the Nueces
River Basin water planning study was conducted of the Nueces and Lower Nueces River Basin.
Results showed a significantly lower firm yield, mostly due to the flesh water inflow operating order.
The following year a regional water planning study looked at the availability of additional water
supplies in the Lavaca and Colorado basins. In September 1992 the City of Corpus Christi entered
into an option agreement for the purchase of up to 35,000 af/yr from the Garwood Irrigation
Company, which was approved by the TNRCC in 1998.
Mr. Garafia said the TNRCC amendment to the certificate of adjudication authorizes the city
to divert 35,000 af/yr from the Colorado River for irrigation, municipal and industrial purposes at
a rate not to exceed 150 cfs and it subordinates the 35,000 af/yr to the remaining portion of the
original Garwood water rights with a priority date of November 2, 1900.
Mayor Neal asked what the city paid for the Garwood water. Mr. Dodson replied that it was
a one-time purchase cost of $450 per acre foot, which is about $14.5 million for senior rights to the
Garwood water in perpetuity.
Mr. Garafia said them are two options for delivering the Garwood water to the Mary Rhodes
(Texana) Pipeline: peak diversion rate, which pumps the water directly from the Colorado River to
the pipeline; and a uniform annual rate using an off-channel storage reservoir near the diversion site.
He said the first option would require a surface water intake and pump station near Bay City; a 41-
mile transmission pipeline from the Colorado River to the terminal storage tank at the Texana
pipeline intake pumping station; junction piping and appurtenances to tie the Garwood pipeline to
the Texana pipeline; and reconfigure the Texana pipeline intake and intermediate pumping stations.
The estimated cost for this option is $253 per acre-foot.
Mr. Garafia said the uniform delivery rate option would require a surface water intake and
pump station near Bay City; a transmission pipeline from the Colorado River to an off-channel
storage site with a surface water intake and pump station; a 36-mile transmission pipeline from the
off-channel site to a terminal storage tank at the Texana pipeline intake pumping station; and
junction piping and appurtenances to tie the Garwood pipeline to the Texana pipeline. The cost
would be about $259 per acre-foot. He said staff is recommending developing a request for proposals
(RFP) for professional services for a routing plan and acquisition of the necessary right-of-way, as
well as exploring the benefits of parmering with other entities, similar to the Texana pipeline.
Council Member Chesney asked what would happen to the use of the Garwood water while
the city determines the best way to bring it to this area. Mr. Garcia said staff would be hesitant to
recommend a long-term usage of that water by anyone else because Corpus Christi needs it, and it
would be difficult to find someone who could buy it for a one-time use. Mr. Dodson said this
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
August 28, 2001
Page 13
drought has caught everyone by surprise with its severity and the long-term planning studies are
having to be readjusted as a result. He said he believes it is even more necessary now to hold onto
the Ganvood water rights, particularly in the short-term. Mr. Dodson said he believes this is the best
option to pursue at this point.
Responding to Mr. Garrett, Mr. Garafia said that depending on the financing of a project
involving the Garwood water, the new total raw water cost could be 92 cents to 95 cents per 1,000
gallons. He added that those figures fluctuate monthly depending on the draw of water.
Mr. Colmenero asked who could use the Garwood water if the city does not exemise its right
to it. Mr. Dodson said that right now "junior" diverters are allowed to access water during shortages
but if the city exemises its senior rights, those users would not be able to take the water. Mr. Payne
of HDR discussed the use of both the Texana and Garwood water supplies. He said the Texana water
would probably be taken first because it is on a "take-or-pay" basis while the Garwood water is not
(the city owns it now). He said the addition of those two water supplies would result in the city's
reservoir system being fuller most of the time, which provides for more opportunity to use the
reservoirs and to "bank" the water for periods of drought and higher demand. Mr. Garcia noted that
the city's senior right to the Garwood water still applies even when the Colorado River is low.
Mr. Kinnison questioned why the Mary Rhodes Pipeline cost $127 million for 101 miles
while the Garwood pipeline is estimated to cost $85 million for 35 to 40 miles. Mr. Payne explained
that much of the cost will be for the facility that will be needed to take the water out of the Colorado
River and to make it flood-proof. He said then have been some discussions with the Lower Colorado
River Authority (LCRA), which may have some facilities available. Mr. Dodson said the remaining
133,000 acre-feet of water rights owned by Garwood were purchased by the LCRA and they also
subsequently purchased the last remaining privately held water fights in the Colorado basin.
Mr. Kinnison asked what the city's situation would be today if it had access to the Garwood
water. Mr. Payne showed a graphic illustrating that scenario, saying that the reservoir level would
probably be at 40% instead of 30% as it is today. He added that over 40% a certain amount of water
would be passed through to the bays and estuaries if the flow came into the reservoir system. Mr.
Payne said planners are confident that the Rincon Bayou project will demonstrate the importance of
the placement of water to benefit the delicate estuafine system, which may affect the water release
program in the future. Mr. Garafia and Mr. Massey further explained that issue.
Mr. Noyola said citizens do not want any more water mswictions and some feel that the Mary
Rhodes Pipeline did not deliver the relief that was promised. He questioned why the city does not
just pursue the desalination option since the Gulf of Mexico has a bountiful amount of water. Mr.
Massey replied that if the city had pursued desalination five years ago, it would have resulted in only
about 28,000 af/yr of water as opposed to the 42,000 affyr being provided by Lake Texana; however,
the desalinated water would have cost significantly more.
Mayor Neal said the Council needed to postpone the rest of this discussion in order to go into
executive session, pursuant to Texas Government Code Section 551.074, to interview candidates for

and deliberate the appointment of a Municipal Court Judge with possible action related thereto in
open session (Item 41). (Note: the erecutive session under Item 42 regarding City of Corpus Christi
v. Nancy Helen Graham, et al, No. 01-025-C, County Court At Law. San Patricio County, Texas and
regarding land acquisition in connection with the Rincon Bayou Project, was withdrawn.)
The Council went into executive session. The Council returned from executive session. Mr.
Longoria made a motion, which was seconded by Mr. Scott, to adopt the following ordinance:
41.a. ORDINANCE NO. 024570
Ordinance amending Ordinance No. 8127 as amended, Section 510, Executive Pay Plan, by
adding Municipal Court Judge, Division D.
An emergency was declared and the foregoing ordinance passed by the following vote: Neal,
Chesney, Colmenero, Garrett, Kelly, Kinnison, Longoria, Noyola, and Scott voting "Aye."
Mr. Longofia then made the following motion, seconded by Mr. Garrett:
41.b. M2001-344
Motion appointing Deanie King as Judge of the Municipal Court of Corpus Christi, Texas,
Division D and setting her salary at $54,105 to a term coterminous with that of the City
Council.
The foregoing motion passed by the following vote: Neal, Chesney, Colmenero, Garrett,
Kelly, Kinnison, Longoria, Noyola. and Scott voting "Aye."
Mayor Neal called for petitions from the audience.
Ms. Mary Lou Huffman, 402 Old Robstown Road, addressed the problem of the tick
infestation at the city's Animal Control facility. She suggested that the city promote adoption and
quick retrieval of those animals.
Dr. Michael Mintz, 141 Kush Lane, presented a proposal to improve Airheart Point. He said
he and Mr. George Hahn own the property on the north border of the easement and Mr. Mike
McKinnon owns the property to the south. He said he has met with city staff about the property
owners' proposal to develop a scenic overlook with picnic tables and staff suggested he elicit the
Council's support. Mayor Neal asked Dr. Mintz to meet with Planning Department staff so that his
proposal may be formally presented to the Council as an agenda item with ample time for discussion.
Mr. Joe Cole, 4613 Kirkwood, said there are individuals and subcontractors who will not
qualify for the required permits to dump debris at the landfill, which will result in them taking the
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
August 28, 2001
Page 15
debris either to E1 Centro Landfill in Robstown or leaving it on the curb for the city to pick up. He
said he was told that without a permit, people will not be able to use the city's Elliott Landfill after
September 14th and other people are not even aware of the new requirements. Mayor Neal said the
Council has had much discussion about this issue during its public meetings and they responded to
Mr. Cole's concerns about worker's compensation.
Mr. Carlos Torres, President of the Corpus Christi Firefighters Association, discussed Senate
Bill 382, known as the "two in/two out" rule. He said that law will go into effect on September 1,
2001 and the Texas Fire Protection Conmaission will meet in Austin on September 7, 2001. Their
advisory council will draft rules to implement the law, which has to be followed by all local fire
departments in Texas and is supported by the union. He said Corpus Christi has been providing
minimum staffing (three firefighters) on its fire trucks and ladder trucks and he expressed concern
about how the law will be followed. He said House Bill 1096 regarding fire districts needs to be
passed to provide for more staffing on the city's fire trucks.
Mayor Neal returned to the discussion about Item 30 regarding the Garwood pipeline.
Responding to Council Member Scott, Mr. Payne said the peak diversion option consists of 41 miles
of 64-inch pipe with no off-channel storage as opposed to the uniform delivery option, which
includes five miles of 64-inch pipe running to a storage facility and 35 miles of 48-inch pipe
connecting to the Texana pipeline. He added that the reservoir would have a small surface area,
which reduces the amount of evaporation. Mr. Garafia said the Garwood pipeline project would not
have to be as fast-tracked as the Mary Rhodes Pipeline. Mr. Scott asked about Green Lake, and Mr.
Dodson said he did not think it would be suitable for municipal purposes.
Council Member Chesney said he needed to leave the meeting to visit his father in the
hospital and he had some questions about the cost of the Garwood water versus desalination (even
though staff had not yet given their presentation). Mr. Dodson said it was mainly a matter of timing
because it will take longer to build a desalination plant than the Garwood pipeline. He said the
desalination technology has been proven in certain applications but the procurement, permitting and
financing processes are time-consuming. Mr. Garcia added that staff is suggesting that the city have
a diversified portfolio of water sources: reservoirs, Mary Rhodes and Garwood pipelines, and a pilot
desalination facility (possibly followed by additional facilities).
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 31 regarding desalination facilities. Mr. Dodson used
a computer presentation to discuss several aspects of that issue. He noted that desalination has been
studied as a possible water source since 1914 and many times thereafter. In the Trans-Texas Study
of 1995 the cost was estimated to be $5 to $6 per 1,000 gallons (kgal) while the bid for the Tampa
Bay facility came in at $2.08/kgal.
Mr. Dodson discussed desalination technologies, such as electrodialysis reversal, distillation
(thermal) processes, reverse osmosis, and experimental processes. He described how the Tampa Bay
proposal was developed, including procurement and financing, site and facility characteristics, and
[[ r
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting

Page 16
costs (including capital costs of $98 million to $129 million). With a capacity of 25 million gallons
per day, the Tampa Bay plant is the nation's largest proposed seawater desalination plant. He noted
that all the bids were based on the reverse osmosis treatment process. He said the Tampa Bay
proposal is still going through the permitting process and officials do not know exactly when
construction will begin, although they maintain that it will be completed by December 2002. In the
meantime, Tampa Bay Water is moving ahead with a second 25-MGD seawater desalination facility
in their master water plan.
Mr. Dodson said the primary site that planners wished to evaluate in the Corpus Christi area
is the Barney Davis Power Station on the Laguna Madre next to Flour Bluffbecause it offers co-
location benefits. He discussed the following three options: Case I - 25 MGD, $0.06/kWhr of power,
and 29-mile delivery for a total project cost of $219.8 million; Case II - 25 MGD, $0.04/kWhr of
power and 5-mile delivery for a total cost of $179 million; and Case III - combined brackish water
and seawater desalination of 25 MGD, $0.06/kWhr of power and 5-mile delivery for $123.9 million.
Following additional study and discussion, Mr. Dodson said it was apparent that there is a
demand for additional capacity to serve the Padre/Mustang Island area. Currently there is only one
water distribution main serving that area and a second pipeline is needed across the Laguna Madre
from Flour Bluff. Since that project will be very difficult to permit and mitigate--thereby increasing
the cost-an alternative is to construct a 1 MGD to 3 MGD brackish groundwater desalination plant
on North Padre Island.
He said the advantages of building such a facility include: proven technology with well-
defined costs; fewer permitting issues and avoidance of the environmental issues associated with a
pipeline crossing the Laguna Madre; draws on unused groundwater resources; adds new capacity to
the overall system; provides a cost-effective solution; and generates information for the design and
permitting ora larger-scale facility using a combination of groundwater and seawater.
Implementation issues that need to be addressed include disposal of the concentrate reject
and permitting of the outfall and pipeline; blending desalted seawater with other water sources in the
distribution system; power costs; a contract to design, build and operate the facility; groundwater
acquisition costs; and aquifer yields. Mr. Massey then discussed a possible time line for a pilot
project and said staff is recommending developing an RFP for professional services to prepare a
siting plan/feasibility analysis for a desalination facility and to explore the benefits of parmering with
other entities.
Council Member Garrett asked about the length of the discharge pipe. Mr. Garcia said the
length would depend upon the salinity of the discharge material. Mr. Dodson said if brackish
groundwater is used for the desalination process, they believe that it will be able to be discharged
directly into the Laguna Madre because the salinity would be less than the ambient receiving waters.
Council Member Kinnison asked about the supply of brackish groundwater. Mr. Dodson said
that previously not much effort was made to identify such sources because the goal has been to find
water that is directly potable. However, state water planners are recognizing the need to determine
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
August 28, 2001
Page 17
locations of brackish groundwater. Mr. Dodson said a small (4 MGD) desalination plant on Padre
Island would require about 5 MGD to feed it, for which there is abundant water. A larger-scale
groundwater project would require additional investigation to ensure a sufficient supply of water.
Responding to another question from Mr. Kinnison, Mr. Garcia said the city's capital
improvement program includes millions of dollars for the southside transmission main, which is
intended to resolve the problem of Iow water pressure and increased demand on Padre and Mustang
islands. However, that project is also one of the most environmentally challenging ones because it
involves trenching the entire depth of the Laguna Madre and under the Intracoastal Canal. He said
the option of building a small desalination plant on the island appears to be worth exploring because
it offers many benefits and could serve as a model for a larger desalination facility.
Mr. Dodson said a 4 MGD brackish groundwater facility would probably have capital costs
of about $8 million, which is much less than a seawater desalination plant would have. In addition,
the operation and maintenance costs would be much lower. Mayor Neal asked how much water is
being used by customers on the island currently. Mr. Garafia said it is about 2 MGD and staff
anticipates that that will increase to about 5 MGD once PackeD' Channel is developed.
With regard to state entities, Assistant City Manager Tom Utter said staffhas had preliminary
discussions about this issue with representatives of the Texas Water Development Board. He said
in the last session there was legislation which allows desalination to fall under the same grant and
loan program that regular water projects do. Mr. Dodson said it is clear that the state would like to
see more seawater and other types of desalination facilities be developed to relieve some of the
pressure for increased surface water supplies. He said the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation has some
appropriations available for research but brackish groundwater is a fairly proven technology.
Additional discussion ensued.
In response to Council Member Longoria, Mr. Garafia explained how Port Aransas receives
its water. Mr. Dodson confirmed that there is not much history of operating large-scale desalination
plants but there are hundreds of small-scale brackish groundwater desalt plants currently operating
in Florida. Mr. Longoria said since the city already owns the Garwood water, it would make sense
to build a pipeline to bring it here to use. Mr. Gamia said staff is recommending proceeding with
both the Garwood water and desalination options so as to provide more concrete answers on costs
and time lines.
Council Member Kelly asked if the proposed RFP will provide information about the
sustainability of fresh groundwater or whether it will only address brackish groundwater. Mr. Massey
said staff will do more research on what information is available on the quality of water from other
aquifers. Council Member Colmenero asked if staffwill come back with funding options, and Mr.
Massey said staff was asking the Council for permission to issue an RFP and prepare an engineering
services contract that will be brought back to Council with the funding source identified at that time.
City Secretary Chapa read the following proposed motions. Mayor Neal asked for public
comment on Items 30 and 31 and there was none. The Mayor said the Council received letters fi'om

partnering with other entities to complete the project as compared with the benefits of
proceeding independently.
The foregoing motion passed by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero, Garrett, Kelly,
Kinnison, Longoria, Noyola, and Scott voting "Aye"; Chesney absent.
31. ~
Motion directing staffto develop by the first Council meeting in December 2001 a request

desalination facility utilizing brackish groundwater with a capacity of approximately 3-5
million gallons of water per day located on and serving Padre/Mustang Island, and to explore
possible benefits ofparmering with other entities to complete the project as compared with
the benefits of proceeding independently.
The foregoing motion passed by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero, Garrett, Kelly,
Kinnison, Longoria, Noyola, and Scott voting "Aye"; Chesney absent.
Mayor Neal noted that item 27 was postponed by staff.
27. T PP..Q..$.! P_O.N_ _~_
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 28, 2001 annexation program. Mr. Utter said this
proposed annexation is the result of the last annexation in 1999. The proposed annexation consists
of six areas containing approximately 16,067 acres (of which about 13,000 is water) and a total of
275 permanent residents.
Using maps, Mr. Utter then described the location and characteristics of the six areas: Areas
"A" and "B"-Wood River development, 51 acres; Area "C"-Tmcts 1 and 2, Padre Island, two tracts
of approximately 1,251 acres straddling the Nueces/Kleberg county line; Area "D"-water area west
of Port Aransas, 919 acres; Area "E"-Gulf of Mexico water area east of Aransas Pass with 13,128
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
August 28, 2001
Page 19
water acres; and Area "F"-tracts 3a, 3b, 4 and 5, the remaining portion of Mustang Island, which is
north of Mustang Island State Park comprised of four contiguous tracts of land with about 718 acres
(tracts 1 and 2 were annexed in 1999).
Mr. Utter then discussed the proposed annexation calendar as follows: October 10, 2001-
Planning Commission public hearing; October 16th-first City Council public hearing during the
regular meeting; October 22nd, 6 p.m.-second City Council public hearing at Port Royal on Mustang
Island; November 20th-first reading of the annexation ordinance; December 1 Itt-second reading of
the annexation ordinance and final action on proposed zoning (regular meeting); and December 31,
2001-effective date of the annexation.
Mr. Utter said staff has already met with some residents of Padre and Mustang islands
regarding their concerns. He noted that after this annexation round, the process will become more
complicated. Mr. Garcia said once the hearing dates are set and the notices go out, no other
properties can be added to the annexation program, although properties can be deleted. Mr. Garcia
and Mr. Utter replied to Council members' questions. Mayor Neal called for public comment.
Mr. Carlos Torres, President of the Corpus Christi Firefighters Association, said if the new
fire station on Padre Island becomes a multipurpose facility, staff should ensure that there is adequate
parking. He asked when construction is scheduled to begin. Mr. Garcia said staff is working to
identify the site; following that they can move quickly on the construction because it will be a
modular building. Mr. Torres said he hopes that four firefighters will be budgeted for that fire track.
Mr. Carl Batalich, an island resident, said he and other residents are looking forward to the
new fire station there as well as sound development.
Mrs. Betty Jean Longoria, 9534 Wilkins, asked why Suburban Acres was not included in this
proposed annexation. She also expressed concern about the annexation of additional properties in
Wood River. She said the main road there is a county road. Council Member Kelly said a traffic light
is needed at River Hills to divert some of the traffic further east.
Mr. Utter said Suburban Acres has water service but it does not have sewer service and he
said it will require a lot of infrastructure costs, similar to other areas. Mayor Neal said the city has
one more year under the current annexation roles before the law changes on December 31, 2002. Mr.
Garcia said there are areas similar to Suburban Acres which are basically colonias and which need
a tremendous amount of public investment. He said he and Council Member Noyola met with
residents of Rose Acres to discuss their needs and he suggested that staff spend the next year
investigating such areas. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:
28.
Motion approving an annexation calendar and authorizing staff to prepare service plans and
schedule Planning Commission and City Council public hearings to consider six areas of
land/water for inclusion in the 2001 Annexation Program.

The foregoing motion passed by the following vote: Neal, Chesney, Colmenero, Garrett,
Kelly, Kinnison, Longoria, Noyola, and Scott voting "Aye."
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 29, stormwater master plan. City Manager Garcia said
that large sections of the community are severely affected by inadequate drainage and staff would
like to prepare a comprehensive plan which will be brought back to the Council in the future.
Ms. Valerie Gray, Stormwater Superintendent, said that during the Council's retreat in May
2001, one of the issues identified was to evaluate the need for a stormwater drainage utility. She said
the action plan developed by staff is as follows: reappoint the Stormwater Management Advisory
Committee (which was done on July 24, 2001); review the current stormwater system (August and
September 2001); assess current stotmwater funding (March 2002); review funding alternatives
(May 2002); and recommend a stormwater implementation plan (June 2002).
Ms. Gray said in order to proceed with the second step, city staffis requesting the approval
of an engineering contract for the development of a stormwater master plan. She said the funds for
that project are available in the FY 2000-01 stormwater capital improvement program. Upon
approval of the contract, staff will continue with steps 2-5 of the proposed action plan.
Mr. Angel Escobar, Director of Engineering Services, explained that the Stormwater
Management Advisory Committee (SMAC) met on August 16, 2001 and unanimously recommended
approval of the contract. He said there are several reasons why a comprehensive stormwater master
plan needs to be developed, primarily because the existing master plans are outdated, contain
inconsistent design parameters, have not kept up with the changing regulatory environment, and do
not include all areas of the city. Mr. Escobar then discussed the project participants, saying that the
challenge is to bahmce the need for adequate drainage with the cost for providing it.
Mr. Escobar said there are two phases of the project. The first phase is the development of
the stormwater criteria and design manual, which will provide the following: a city-wide level of
protection policy, consistent stormwater criteria and design procedures, and compliance with federal
and state regulations related to stormwater quality standards. The second phase is the development
of the stormwater master plan, which will include a detailed topographic map set with digital
topographic data, existing and proposed basin characteristics, stormwater drainage system capacity,
and hydraulic analysis in selected areas. Mr. Escobar also discussed aerial mapping accuracy,
geographic limits of the master plan, and a preliminary project time line.
Responding to Mayor Neal and Council Member Kinnison, Ms. Gray further discussed the
time line and the need to educate the members of the SMAC. She said in June 2002 staff will bring
back a recommendation for an implementation plan. The Mayor and Mr. Kinnison said they thought
the time table needed to be sped up to proceed more quickly on the project. There were no comments
from the audience. Assistant City Secretary Juarez polled the Council for their votes as follows:

M2001-336
Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute an engineering contract in
the amount of $1,048,480 with Goldston Engineering Inc. for the stormwater master plan
project.
The foregoing motion passed by the following vote: Neal, Chesney, Colmenero, Garrett,
Kelly, Kirmison, Longoria, Noyola, and Scott voting "Aye."
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 32, water conservation regulations. Council Member
Kelly referred to Sec. 55-152 of the proposed ordinance (page 286 of the agenda packet) regarding
automatic water conservation measures. He asked whether a plumbing leak in a home will result in
a citizen violating the ordinance. First Assistant City Attorney Reining said that provision was
included elsewhere in the plan but it was moved forward so people will begin addressing the issue.
He said generally city staff members warn people about a violation and give them an opportunity to
correct the problem before any citations are issued. Mr. Kelly said there is the potential of a $500
per day penalty in those cases, which will only exacerbate an already difficult and expensive
situation for the property owner.
City Manager Gamia noted that there are many mandatory requirements in the water
conservation plan but the city did not actually assign personnel to enforce those provisions until the
combined reservoir level fell below 30% and a major public relations campaign was launched. Mr.
Kelly said plumbing leaks are not the same as violating the time-of-day restrictions for lawn
watering. Mr. Garcia replied that in many cases the city is the entity that points out to a customer that
he has a water leak (which results in a higher than usual water bill).
Responding to another question from Mr. Kelly, Mr. Reining said that only a handful of
citations have been issued for plumbing leaks; most people correct the situation as soon as they are
made aware of it. Mr. Massey said this provision comes into play when the reservoirs fall below 50%
and the city wants to alert people to the need for water conservation. Mr. Kelly said he objects to the
idea of criminalizing an event that was not a result of voluntary conduct. He said it is an unfortunate
situation that occurs to many citizens and there are economic incentives (a lowered water bill and
repaired foundation) to seeing that it is corrected. Mr. Reining said the offense comes into play once
a person realizes he has a plumbing leak but does not take steps to repair it.
Mayor Neal asked if the language in the ordinance needed to be amended to address Mr.
Kelly's concerns about criminal intent. Mr. Reining said the proposed amendment to Sec. 55-155
states that "any person that intentionally, knowingly, recklessly, or with criminal negligence violates
any provision of this Article shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor..." Mr. Reining said code
enforcement violations occur frequently and city staff tries to work with citizens to help them abide
by the regulations. There were no comments from the audience. Assistant City Secretary Juarez
polled the Council for their votes as follows:

Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 34, renewal community. Council Member Kelly said
he had a conflict of interest with Items 34, 35 and 36 and would be abstaining from discussing or
voting on those items.
Mr. Utter described the characteristics of the census tracts being proposed for the renewal
community application (Tracts 1,3, 4, 10 and 11). He said while such a designation does not result
in the receipt of funds it does provide for a variety of tax credits. He said the five census tracts are
within the state enterprise zone and the city has received letters of support from a number of groups.
He described why those tracts were selected, including their levels of poverty and unemployment.
Responding to Council questions, Mr. Utter said HUD requires that a city use 1990 census
figures. He said census tract 3 includes the convention center area. There were no comments fi.om

School. Mr. Utter said this is a proposed agreement to purchase approximately 95 acres for not more
than $450,000. He said the land is being reappraised and if it comes in higher than $450,000 the city
does not have to purchase it. He thanked the members of the General Land Office and the Texas
Department of MHMR. Mayor Neal called for comments from the audience.

Page 27
Mayor Neal recessed the Council meeting for the meeting of the Corpus Christi Industrial
Development Corporation.
Upon reconvening, Mayor Neal called for the City Manager's report. Mr. Garcia reviewed
the items that are scheduled for the September 11, 2001 meeting, including a joint meeting with the
Corpus Christi Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Mayor Neal asked for an update on the tick infestation at the Animal Control facility. Mr.
Garcia said this is a seasonal problem which is worsened by the very inadequate conditions there and
the fact that many of the stray dogs brought in are covered with fleas and ticks. He said the ultimate
solution is for a new facility to be constructed, which was approved by the voters last November. Mr.
Jeff Beynon, Animal Control Supervisor, further described the specific problems with ticks
encountered at the Animal Control facility. He thanked the Coastal Bend Pest Control Association
for their assistance in dealing with that problem and citizens for donating tick-repellent collars.
The Mayor noted that the bond mttng agencies gave the city excellent ratings for its sales tax
revenue bonds and he referred to a letter from Mr. Richard Leonard regarding the hazardous waste
disposal site. He also said there was a letter to the editor from Mr. Donovan regarding parking
vehicles on private property. City Attorney Bray said there are size limits for trucks in residential
neighborhoods and Mr. Garcia said a parked vehicle cannot obstruct a sidewalk; other than that,
there are no ordinances regarding that issue.
There being no further business to come before the Council, Mayor Neal adjourned the
Council meeting at 9:00 p.m. on August 28, 2001.

AGENDA ITEM: Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute an advance
funding agreement with the State of Texas~ acting through its Texas Transportation
Commission, setting forth responsibilities for the construction, operation and maintenance of
new continuous roadway illumination for the John F. Kennedy (JFK) Causeway Elevation
Project between O'Connell Street on the mainland and a point approximately 2,650-feet east of

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
BACKGROUND:
Prior City Council Action
1. Jul,/ 13, 1999 - Resolution approved by Council authorizing the City Manager to execute and
submit an application to the State Infrastructure Bank (SIB) for a loan in the amount of
$4,000,000 to finance the City's share of the JFK Causeway Elevation Project, and further
authorizing the City Manager to negotiate financial terms of the SIB loan.
2. January 18, 2000 - Resolution approved by Council approving the terms from the SIB for
$4,000,000 to fund the City's share of the JFK Causeway Elevation Project, and authorizing
the City Manager to execute the necessary documents.
3. January 18, 2000 - Resolution approved by Council accepting Texas Transportation
Commission Minute Order Number 107987, dated 10-28-1999, providing for the elevation of
the JFK Causeway and providing for the contribution from the City of $4,000,000 toward
construction of the project.
Interchange Improvements
The long-awaited JFK Causeway Elevation Project will have its bid-letting in November 2001.
As part of this project, TxDOT and City Staff have agreed that continuous roadway illumination
is needed for improved driver safety per the following limits:
(a)
Continuous roadway illumination along the portion of the roadway being elevated
and improved - - i.e., between the mainland and a point 1,700-feet east of Aquarius
Drive on Park Road 22 (So. Padre Island Drive). This is the initially planned limits of
the JFK Causeway Elevation Project.
(b)
City Staff requested the State to extend the continuous roadway illumination for this
project along an additional 950-ft section of Park Road 22 beyond the limits of the
State's Project (i.e., to the point 2,650-feet east of Aquarius Drive). This extended
950-ft section is a curvilinear roadway section with a significant horizontal curve. As
this portion of illumination is at the City's request and because this section of Park
Road 22 is outside the Causeway Elevation Project limits and along the non-
controlled access portion of Park Road 22, the construction cost of the roadway
illumination, including its operation and maintenance, is the City's 100-%
responsibility (see EXHIBIT 2).
TxDOT and City Payment and Work Responsibilities Contained in Agreement (EXHIBIT 3)
1. State will be responsible for the construction of the continuous roadway illumination
on Park Road 22 from O'Connell Drive to a point 1,700-feet east of Aquarius Drive
2. State will prepare plans and specifications, advertise bids, let construction contract and
supervise construction
3. State will bear 100-% of costs for construction of conduit and ground boxes for future
fiberoptic communications cable
4. The City's 50-% cost share for construction of the illumination system from O'Connell
Drive on the mainland to 1,700-feet east of Aquarius Drive on Padre Island, estimated at
a cost of $ 400,000, will be covered by the $4,000,000 amount the City has contributed
toward the construction of the JFK Causeway Elevation.
Roadway Ilurnination for John F Kennedy Causeway Elevation Proiect
Page 2 of 3)
(TxDOT and City Payment and Work Responsibilities Contained in Agreement, continued)
The City will reimburse the State for 50-% of the cost for maintenance of the illumination
system along the controlled access portion of the JFK Elevation Project. The controlled
access portion will be from O'Connell Drive to the west end of the Gulf Intracoastal
Waterway Relief Bridge (east of the existing Causeway Bridge)
The State will reimburse the City for 50-% of the City's cost for electrical operation of the
illumination system described in Item 5 above
All construction cost for the continuous illumination system on the non-controlled access
portion of the project - - i.e., from the Relief Bridge east of the Causeway Bridge to a
point 2,650-feet east of Aquarius Drive - - will be the City's 100% cost responsibility.
Further the City will be responsible for 100-% of the cost for operation and maintenance
for this portion of the illumination.
Illumination Improvements and Cost Impact
This illumination project will result in the new installation of 117 street lights along the full length
of the project. Of these, nine (9) will be the City's 100-% cost responsibility for construction.
The City's annual cost for the roadway illumination operation and maintenance expenses for the
controlled access (50-% cost share) and non-controlled access (100% cost share) highway
sections will be approximately $ 7,500 per year.
FUNDING
The City's funding share for construction of the illumination improvements will come from the
No. 3530 Street Reserve Appropriations. The City's operation and maintenance expenses for
the illumination system, which will not be operative until FY 2003-2004 will come from the City's
annual Street Light Operation Budget.

BACKGROUNDINFORMATION
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The original design scope included a number of enhancements that would increase public
convenience and Terminal appearance while lower maintenance costs. Cost estimates
developed during the design process indicated that there was risk that the building would
cost more than funding permitted. A number of items were deleted or had lower cost
materials substituted to ensure bids would be within budget. The bids received for the
Terminal Building were very favorable and less than estimated.
The proposed change order provides for an:
· Upgrade of the public address system to a fully programmable system which allows the
system to be customized to meet future airport communications and expansion
requirements;
· Two additional escalators to allow up and down service to airline ticket lobby and the

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
DATE: September 11, 2001
SUBJECT: Corpus Christi International Airport - Terminal Apron Improvements
Phase 2 (Project No. 1072)
AGENDA ITEM:
Motion authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to execute a construction contract
in the amount of $1,861,920.40 with Haas-Anderson Construction Inc. of Corpus Christi,
Texas, for the Corpus Christi International Airport Terminal Apron Improvements Phase 2
Project.
ISSUES:
1. One of the partners of the apparent Iow bidder owned a firm that was debarred by the
National Maritime Commission. The debarment by the Maritime Commission did not
specifically name W. B. Construction or the partner as being disbarred. Review
indicates the debarment could extend to all firms owned by the partner, which would
prevent the use of federal funds. W. B. Construction has agreed to withdraw their bid
provided the City returns their bid bond. The contract with W. B. Construction was not
executed by the City, which requires award to Haas Anderson to construct the
improvements.
2. Modification and improvements to the apron are necessary to accommodate the new
Terminal Building to meet NFPA code requirements, and to allow for efficient aircraft
operations in accordance with FAA regulations.
FUNDING: Funds are available from Airport Capital Reserves, Airport Passenger Facility
Charge Funds, and F.A.A. Grant Funds.
RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Ordinance and Motion as presented.

ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
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 aimraft 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.
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION:
July 11,2001
· Ordinance appropriating $303,579 in the No. 4621 Passenger Facility Charge Funds
for the Airport Terminal Apron Improvements Projects (Ordinance No. 024490).
Motion authorizing the City Manager or designee to execute a construction contract in
the amount of $1,523,532.50 with W. B. Construction Ltd. for the Corpus Christi
International Airport Terminal Apron Improvements Phase 2 Project (M2001-249).
Motion authorizing the City Manager or designee to execute a construction testing and
inspection services contract in an amount not to exceed $1 $,485 with Professional
Services Incorporated (PSI) for the Corpus Christi International Airport Terminal Apron
Improvements Phase 2 Project (M2001-249).
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
EXHIBIT A J
Page 1 of 2
fill in of the east and west concourses to the backside of the Aidine 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. See Exhibit D.
One of the partners of the apparent Iow bidder owned a firm that was debarred by the
National Maritime Commission. The debarment by the Maritime Commission did not
specifically name W. B. Construction or the partner as being disbarred. Review indicates
the debarment could extend to all firms owned by the partner, which would prevent the use
of federal funds. W. B. Construction has agreed to withdraw their bid provided the City
returns their bid bond.
The next Iow bidder (Haas-Anderson) has agreed to accept a contract award at the unit
bid prices totaling $1,861,920.50 as bid April 25, 2001.
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 CIP, 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 Airlines within their 30-days comment period. Southwest Airlines and
Continental Airlines were supportive of the PFC Amendment and CCIA'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 during their September meeting.

ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
SUBJECT: Corpus Christi International Airport- Passenger Loading Bridges and Apron
Lighting (Project No. 1078)
BACKGROUND: The New Terminal Building is located on the footprint of the old Terminal,
with an extension out onto the Apron. This design will minimize walking distances for
passengers, and increase the efficiency of Terminal operations. Passenger loading will be
accomplished through passenger loading bridges from the second floor level onto aircraft.
The configuration of the New Terminal Building and Apron projects requires the relocation
of Apron Lighting to support night aircraft operations.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project consists of providing passenger loading bridges (5) and apron lighting in
conjunction with the new terminal construction. The passenger loading bridges will be
manufactured and installed to move passengers from the second level holdrooms to the
aircraft. Existing apron lighting will be refurbished and relocated, and a new apron light
installed, to support night aircraft operations. The work includes demolition, concrete
foundations, electrical lighting and wiring, and fabrication and installation of the passenger
loading bridges.
Bids:
The project was bid as a base bid with three additive alternates. Two (2) bids were
received and opened June 27, 2001. A passenger loading bridge is a highly specialized
item fabricated only by three (3) U. S. companies. The total base bid with alternates were
$2,357,072.00 and $2,413,909.00. See Exhibit D. Thyssen Stearns, Inc. of Fort Worth,
Texas submitted the apparent Iow bid, which contained an irregularity on the bid proposal
form. Thyssen Stearns proposal form added the base bid to each additive alternate when
filling in the amount of each additive alternate. Thyssen Stearns submitted a letter
confirming the irregularity and the amount bid for each additive alternate. It is
recommended that the Council waive the irregularity, and accept the Thyssen Stearns bid
pursuant Section A-4 of the Special Provisions and B-2-13 of the General Provisions as
being in the best interest of the City. Additionally, additive alternate #2 was shown as $0
as it was included in the original base bid as cumulative total.
FUNDING: Funding for the project is available from General Airport Revenue Bonds
(GARBs), FAA Grant, and Passenger Facility Charges.
FUTURE COUNCIL ACTIONS:
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 July 25, 2001.

Contract Summary
Exhibit 1 - Estimated Projected Cost
Exhibit 2 - Estimated Out-of-pocket Costs
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The City began using a health insurance actuary after our external auditors recommended that the
City establish actuarial based health rates. The City informally solicited request for this service and
selected an actuary from Houston. The City has also used an actuarial services firm for worker
compensation and general/auto liability programs. These two contracts have been managed
separately by Risk Management.
In order to consolidate these multiple contracts for actuarial services and improve the administration
and the scope of services of the actuary, the City combined these Risk Management programs into
one actuarial RFP on July 20, 2001.
A notice asking interested parties to request information was published in the Corpus Christi Caller-
Times on July 21 and July 28, 2001. RFP's were mailed to 11 firms (one local) with responses due
on August 10, 2001. Two out-of-town responses were received. The proposals were evaluated by
a group of City staff members and determined to be valid proposals and worthy of further
negotiation. Those negotiations have resulted in the agreement that is being recommended for
approval. Staffis recommending MMC Enterprise Risk because this proposal is most advantageous
to the City.
The study will consist of determining the City's coverage liability per coverage, establishing
appropriate reserve levels, conducting cash-flow analysis, projecting future losses and presenting the
findings. The optional services of analyzing retention levels and analysis of twenty claims and
lawsuits will also be included.

ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
BACKGROUND:
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) through the Texas Department of Human
Service (TDHS) provides grants for youth nutrition as a continuation of the National School
Lunch Program. This program is called the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) for
after school educational and/or enrichment activities. In order to qualify for this program, a
site must:
a) provide youth with regularly scheduled activities in an organized, structured and
supervised environment
b) include educational and/or enrichment activities as part of the programming
c) site must be located in an area served by a school where 50% or more of the youth
enrolled are eligible for free or reduced price school meals
The Park and Recreation Department has 28 Latchkey sites and 6 Recreation Centers that
qualify. (Agenda Item A). Sites to be served are: T.C. Ayers Recreation Center, Joe Garza
Recreation Center, Lindale Recreation Center, Oso Recreation Center, Oak Park Recreation
Center, Ben Garza Gym, Casa Linda Elementary, Fannin Elementary, Houston Elementary,
Meadowbrook Elementary, Menger Elementary, Carroll Lane Elementary, Central Park
Elementary, Galvan Elementary, Kostoryz Elementary, Moore Elementary, Sanders
Elementary, Smith Elementary, Yeager Elementary, Calk Elementary, Chula Vista
Elementary , Crocket Elementary, Garcia Elementary, Los Encinos Elementary, Montclair
Elementary, Oak Park Elementary, Schanen Elementary, Wilson Elementary, Woodlawn
Elementary, Windsor Park Elementary, West Oso Elementary, Flour Bluff Intermediate,
Flour Bluff Primary and Flour Bluff Early Childhood Center.
There are 5 sites that do not qualify for this program based on enrollment of youth eligible for
free and reduced school meals. These sites are Dawson Elementary, Mireles Elementary,
Jones Elementary, Barnes Elementary and Club Estates Elementary. However, to maintain
the consistency and quality of the Latchkey program, these sites will be provided an
afternoon snack. Cost of the snacks to these sites will be paid by program reimbursements
minus any operating costs.
Over the past few years, the City and CCISD have entered into local interagency agreements
for the preparation and delivery of meals to the sites with the Summer Food Service
Program. The City again proposes to enter into a contract with CCISD to prepare and deliver
snacks at a rate of $.45 per snack for the school year beginning August 13, 2001-May 23,
2001. CClSD will also maintain and provide menu preparation records. The snack consists
of fruit/vegetable, milk/juice and dessert. It is estimated that approximately 2,755 youth per
day will be served after school snacks. At each site, city staff will verify daily snack counts
and distribute snacks to youth. Total program costs are to be provided by the State's
reimbursement. No City funds will be utilized, but an ordinance is necessary to appropriate
the grant of $276,382 in order to implement the program. CCISD has approved the food
service agreement.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
PURPOSE OFCLOSURE AND BACKGROUND:
Mr. Manuel Flores is requesting the abandonment and vacation of a 116.40-square foot
portion of a 10-foot wide utility easement out of Lot 53, Block 6, Highlands Oaks
Subdivision. The utility easement abandonment is necessary because his house
encroaches approximately one foot into the easement. Sale of his residence is pending,
but cannot be finalized with the encroachment.
All public and franchised utilities were notified and have responded regarding the proposed
action. Southwestern Bell appears to be the only utility company which utililizes the
easement, but they have indicated that the proposed closure will not affect their utility.
There are no other existing utilities within the easement being abandoned and vacated.
Staff recommends payment of the fair market value of $116.40 for the abandonment and
vacation of the total 116.40-square foot utility easement. The owner has been advised of

AGENDA ITEM: Amending the Code of Ordinances, City of Corpus Christi, by revising Article XII,
Water Conservation, of Chapter 55, Utilities, to reorganize and expand the water conservation
contingency measures; providing for penalties; providing for severance; and providing for publication.
ISSUE: In accordance with the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission Agreed Order of
April 2001 the City amended its water conservation ordinance to include automatic conservation
measures at 50%, 40%, and 30% of reservoir capacity. The Agreed Order provided increased flexibility
in implementing other measures. This ordinance would further amend the conservation ordinance to
better meet current drought conditions as follows:
(1) Simplify the process of implementing automatic water conservation measures as identified in the
TNRCC Agreed Order of April 2001, and refine notice requirements.
(2) Eliminate specific conditions triggering actions; instead the City Manager can implement any or
all of a variety of measures based on current conditions.
(3) Direct the City Manager to prepare an implementation plan, which will be provided to City
Council before any measures are implemented.
(4) Add restrictions on watering foundations and recreational water use.
(5) Clarify penalty provisions, and add sanctions that a person who fails to respond to a citation or
summons issued under the water conservation article may have their water service discontinued.
RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the ordinance as submitted.

AGENDA ITEM:
Presentation on the City s R'sk Management Program
CITY STAFF PRESENTER(S):
Name
Jorge G. Cruz-Aedo
Title
Director of Financial Services
Dept/Division
Financial Services
ISSUE: Quarterly update on City's Health Insurance Program, as well as a summary of Risk Management's
other programs.
BACKGROUND: Since the last quarterly report in May, the City's health program has continued to improve.
However, we are still vulnerable to one or two large claims eroding the positive financial position. In an effort
to strengthen the program, several program changes were made this last fiscal year. They included: 1) An
expansion of the pre-certification process to include out-patient, psychiatric, chemical dependency, and
emergency room within 48 hours of admittance admissions; speech and physical therapy; durable medical
equipment in excess of $500; and MRI's and CT scans; 2) Discharge planning; 3) Diabetic Care Training; and
4) An agreement with Consultec, current manager for the pharmacy network, to match the lower bid received
from Walgreen Drag Stores.
Additionally, for fiscal year 2001-2002, a 3% premium increase was implemented for Citicare and Citicare
Q-Plus participants, as well as an increase in the emergency room co-pay from $35 to $50. Currently,
however, negotiations are underway for Citicare-Fire and Public Safety Citicare.
Risk Ma.nagemen.t s other programs (general/auto bablhty, workers compensation, and safety programs) have
seen an ~ncrease ~n costs this past fiscal year. Risk Management is identifying areas which can be currently
dealt with in order to address the increasing costs.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: As of July 31, 2001, it appears that the City's health insurance program
is slowly strengthening. These findings are unaudited and preliminary; however, it looks as though the overall
program will end positively. In reviewing the individual programs, action has been taken for Citicare and
Citicare A-Plus in that a 3% premium increase was implemented August 1, 2001. Additionally, the emergency
room co-pay was increased from $35 to $50. However, for the Citicare-Fire and Public Safety Citicare,
negotiations are currently under way.
In reviewing the other Risk Management programs, workers' compensation costs, as well as general/auto
liability claims continue to increase. Risk Management is developing a more rigorous safety program for City
employees in order to help identify problem areas and ways to improve them.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: This presentation is for informational purposes only and no action is
required.

ISSUE: This is a presentation in response to Council request for more information
on diversion alternatives.
BACKGROUND: On March 18, 1997, the City Council approved the Oso-
Greenwood Services Area Wastewater Facilities Implementation Plan and adopted
Alternative #2 which recommended the diversion of Broadway Plant flows to the
Greenwood Plant. This plan was to provide sufficient and cost effective treatment
facilities through the year 2025. In response to Council directive, Engineering
Services issued a Request for Proposals, and hired Govind and Associates as the
consultant to conduct the Broadway diversion studies. In June of 1999, Govind and
Associates submitted an Engineering Report that provided five scenarios for
diversion to Greenwood. In order to ensure the most cost-effective solution to the
City's future Wastewater Treatment needs Council has requested a review of
alternatives to diversion.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION:
Directive to proceed with actions related to Council-preferred option.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
PUBLIC HEARING-ZONING (City Council Action Date: September 11,2001)
Case No. 0701-01~ Alma Gloria Zuniga: A change of zoning from an "R-lB" One-family Dwelling
District to a "B-1' Neighborhood Business District on Mathis Estates, Lot 1, located on the northwest comer of
Gothhar Road and Laura Place.
Planning Commission's Recommendation (08/01/01}: Denied the "B-I" District, and in lieu
thereof, approved a Special Permit for a beauty shop subject to a site plan and seven (7) conditions.
Staff's Recommendation: Denied.
Requested Council Action: Denial of the "B-I' Neighborhood Business District, and in lieu thereof,
approval of a Special Permit for a beauty shop subject to a site plan and seven (7) conditions and adoption of the
attached ordinance.
Purpose of Request: For a beauty salon in conjunction with the single-family residence.
Summar3,: The applicant requested a "B-I" Neighborhood Business District in order to operate a 2-chair beauty
salon within the single-family residence. The applicant plans to use the 2,600 square foot structure primarily as her
residence and the converted garage area as the beauty salon. In 1977, a Special Permit was granted to the subject
propert3~ for the operation of a shell and plant shop. The Special Permit expired in 1994. Since 1977, conunercial
development expansion east of Kostoryz towards the residential neighborhood makes the rezoning on the subject
property less desirable. A "B-I" District or Special Permit also reestablishes the presence ora nonresidential use
within the neighborhood and sets up the adjacent large single-family zoned to the north for rezoning. This subject
property is located approximately 300 feet from the commercial area to the west. This property has evolved back to
its residential character compatible with the existing residential neighborhood.
The Planning Commission recommended the denial of the "B-I" District, and in lieu thereof, approved a Special
Permit for a beauty shop subject to a site pain and the following seven (7) conditions:
i)
ALLOWED USES: The only use authorized by this Special Permit other than those uses permitted by right
in the "R-lB" One-family Dwelling District is a beauty shop that is limited to no more than two (2)
hairstyling chairs.
2) FLOOR AREA: The floor area dedicated to the beauty shop shall not exceed 350 square feet.
~)
PARKING: There shall be no less than five (5) off-street parking spaces provided on the property of which
two (2) spaces are for the existing residence and three (3) spaces are for the beauty shop.
4)
HOURS OF OPERATION: The operation of the beauty shop shall be limited to the hours between
9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.
5)
SCREENING FENCE: A standard screening fence with a height of not less than six (6) feet must be
installed along the north and west property line of the property. The screening fence must be installed
within six (6) months from the passage of this ordinance.
6) LIGHTING: Lighting of the parking lot and exterior lighting related to the beauty shop shall not be
permitted.

7)
TIME LIMIT: This Special Permit shall be deemed to have expired within one year fi.om the date of this
ordinance unless the property is being used as outlined in condition #1 and a Certificate of Occupancy has
been obtained and the property is in compliance with all other conditions.
Applicant's Position: The applicant concurs with Planning Commission's recommendation. The Planning
Commission voted 7 to 1 in favor ora Special Permit.
Notification: Prior to the date of this memorandum, twenty-seven (7) notices were mailed to the property owners
within a 200-foot radius, of which three (3) were returned in favor and ten (10) were returned in opposition. One (1)
petition in favor was submitted with 9 signatures. One petition in opposition was submitted with 13 signatures. The
20% rule is not in effect.

Zoning Report
Case No. 0701-01 (Alma Gloria Zuniga)

Zoning Inventory:
The subject property is part ora 22.80 acre area north of Gollihar Road, zoned an "R-lB" District
that is developed with single-family residential. Further to the west of the subject property is a
mixture of business districts ranging from "B-1" to "B-4" and developed with fast food services, a
plumbing parts and sales establishment, a supermarket, and a shopping center. South of the subject
property and across Gollihar is a 3.14-acre tzact of land zoned "AB" Professional Office District with
a vacant structure that once served as a community center. The remaining 14.20 acres of property
south of the subject property and across Gollihar is zoned an "R-lB" District and developed with
single-family residences.
Planning Staff Analysis:
General Characteristics and Back~round: The applicant requested a "B-I" Neighborhood
Business District in order to develop a beauty salon within the single-family residence. The
applicant plans to use the 2.600 square foot structure primarily as her residence and the
converted garage area as the beauty salon. In 1977, a Special Permit was granted to the
subject property for the operation of a shell and plant shop. The Special Permit expired in
1994. Since 1977, commercial development expansion east of Kostopyz towards the
residential neighborhood makes the rezoning on the subject property less desirable. A "B-I"
or Special Permit also reestablishes the presence of a nonresidential use within the
neighborhood and sets up the adjacent large single-family zoned to the north for rezoning.
This subject property is located approximately 300 feet from the commercial area to the
west. This property has evolved back to its residential character compatible with the existing
residential neighborhood.
Conformity to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Compatibility: Overall, the
Comprehensive Plan Elements are not supportive of the requested "B-I" District. The
Southeast Area Development Plan's future land use map recommends the area to develop
with low-density residential development. The requested "B-I" District is inconsistent with
the Plan's adopted future land use map.
Potential Housinq Density: The "R- lB" District permits a density of 7.26 dwelling units per
acre or 2 units on the subject property. The "B-I" District permits a density of 36.30
dwelling units per acre or 14 units on the subject property.
Height/Bulk/Setbacks/Etc.: The "R-IB" District requires a front yard setback of 25 feet and
side and rear yard setback of five (5) feet each. Building heights are limited to 35 feet, not
to exceed three (3) stories in the "R-lB" District. The "B-I" District requires a front yard
setback of 20 feet and does not require a side or rear yard setback unless adjacent to a
residential district where a setback of 10 feet each would be required. The "B-I" District is
limited to a building height of three (3) stories or 35 feet.
Zoning Report
Case No. 0701-01 (Alma Gloria Zuniga)
Page 4
· Simaage: Signs in the "R-IB" District are limited to one (1) wall sign ~vith an area not to
exceed one (1) square foot. The "B-I" District permits unlimited xvall signs and one (1)
freestanding si~n per premise with a sign area not to exceed 40 square feet and a height of
20 feet.
Traffic: The subject property has direct access to an arterial. Gollihar Road, which is
can~ing approximately 35,760 vehicles per day at the Kostors. z and Gollihar intersection.
The proposed use would add approximately 55 more vehicles.
ParkinWScreening: A dwelling unit is required to provide 1.5 off-street parking spaces for
each one (1) bedroom unit and two (2) off-street parking spaces for each unit containing two
92) bedrooms or more. A personal service use is required to provide at least one (1) off-
street parking space for each 200 square feet of gross floor area. The existing 2,600 square
foot gross floor area structure would require a minimum of thirteen (13) parking spaces. A
standard screening fence with a height of not less than six (6) feet is required when a
business or industrial use locates adjacent to a residential district. A screening fence is
required along the north, east, and west property lines of the subject property and is a
condition for obtaining a Certificate of Occupancy. Currently, a metal fence is located along
the north, east, and west property lines.
Costs to City: The entire infrastructure required to service the subject property is available
and no costs to the City are anticipated.
Platting: The subject property contains one (1) platted lot and further replatting is not
required.
Pros: (Ideas in support of the request.)
a) The subject property, has direct access to an arterial, Gollihar Road.
Cons: (Ideas in support o f maintaining the current zoning.)
a)
Approving a "B-I" District sets a precedent of a neighborhood business zoning being an
acceptable classification along this portion of Gollihar Road.
· b) The existing "R-lB" District is compatible with the surrounding residential uses.
c)
The re uested "B-l" District is inconsistent with the Southeast Area Development Plan's
q
future land use map.

to allow the applicant an opportunity to meet with staff and discuss language for a Special Permit.

Chairman Berlanga opened the public hearing. No one appeared in favor or opposition. Public hearing
was closed.
Mr. Saldafla responded to Commission's concerns regarding parking and the ability of the patrons to exit
the property without backing into traffic on Gollihar Road. He said that there is approximately a 20-foot separation
between the back of the home and the existing fence to accommodate the five (5) parking spaces required. He
continued that there is adequate room for vehicles to ingress and egress the properW. Mr. Saldafla added that Staff
was recommending denial of the rezoning request.
In response to Commission's question regarding the petition in opposition to the rezoning request,
Mr. Saldafia said that he spoke with the gentleman who initiated the petition in opposition and informed him of the
Special Permit. Mr. Saldafia said that the gentleman was not opposed to a Special Permit; however, he was speaking
on his behalf only and not representing the neighborhood. Commissioner Pusley referred to the petition presented
.opposing commercial use and expressed concern with the Commission ignoring neighborhood opinion by
considering a Special Permit for a commercial use.
Motion by Mims. seconded by Sween-McGIoin. to approve a Special Permit subject to a site plan and
seven (7) conditions. Motion passed with Pusley voting "Nay" and Smith being absent.

In response to conmUssioner Sween-McGIoin's question, Mr. Saldafia said that there was a Special perrmt on
the property previously, but Ms. Zuniga was not the owner at that time.
comrmssioner Zamora asked about parking requirements. Mr. Saldafia answered that there is a parking
requirement, but he did not have the specific number of spaces that would be requi~ed. The parking area would
require ingress and egress onto Gollhhar Road.
After discussion regarding language for a Special perrmt, the comrmssion asked Staff to meet with the
applicant to discuss language for a Special Permit.
Motion by Mires, seconded by Salazar, to continue the zomng case to August 1, 2001. Motion passed
unanimously.

Alma Gloria Zuniga: 0701-01
REQUEST:
"R-lB" One-family Dwelling District to "B-I" Neighborhood Business District to Mathis Estates,
Lot 1, located on the northwest comer of Gollihar Road and Laura Place.
Mr. Saldafia presented a computer slide illustration of the subject proper~y and the surrounding area. He
said that the subject property is part of a 22.80 acre area north of Gollihar Road, zoned an "R-lB" District that is
developed with single-family residential. Further to the ~vest of the subject property is a mixture of business districts
ranging from "B-I" to "B-4" and developed with fast food services, a plumbing parts and sales establishment, a
supermarket, and a shopping center. South of the subject property and across Gollihar Road is a 3.14-acre tract of
land zoned "AB" Professional Office Dismct with a vacant structure that once served as a community center. The
remaining 14.20 acres of property south of the subject property and across Gollihar Road is zoned an "R-lB"
District and developed with single-family residences.
The applicant is requesting a change of zoning to a "B-1" Neighborhood Business District in order to develop a
beauty salon within the snigle-family residence. The applicant plans to use the 2,600 square foot structure primarily
as her residence and the converted garage area as the beauty salon. In 1977, a special permit was granted to the
subject property for the operahon of a shell and plant shop, along with the proprietors living on the site. At that
time, commemial development had not occurred to the extent as it has today at the intersection of Kostoryz Road
and Gollihar Road. Traffic volume was lower and turning movements were of lesser concern. The shell and plant
establishment operated for approxUnately 15 years. Overall, commercial development over the past 7 years has
been contained within 600 feet of the Kostoryz Road and Gollihar Road intersection. It has been approximately 7
years since the special permit on this property was valid. This property has evolved back to its residential character
that is compatible to the existing residential neighborhood.
Mr. Saldafia provided history on the property. In April 1998, the southeast comer of Kostoryz Road and
Gollihar Road was granted a change of zoning from an "R-lB" One-family Dwelling District and "B-I"
Neighborhood Business District to "B-4" General Business District on Lot I and "B-I" on Lot 2 and 19 for video
rental business and parking area.
The Southeast Area Development Plan's future land use map recommends the area to develop with low-density
residential development. The requested "B-I" District is inconsistent with the Plan's adopted furore land use map.
Mr. Saldafia continued that the existing "R-lB" District is compatible with the surrounding residential uses.
Therefore Staff recommends denial of the rezoning request. There were 27 notices mailed to property owners
within a 200-foot radius of which none were returned in favor and l0 were received in opposition. There were also
two (2) petitions received with nine 19) signatures in favor and one (1) petition with 13 signatures in opposition.
Public hearing was opened.
Bianca Apusen, 3545 Austin, represented the applicant. Ms. Apusen said that the applicant was not requesting
a "B-I" District, but would prefer a Special Permit allowing her to operate a beauty shop. She continued that there
have been other Special Permits issued in the area.
Alma Zuniga, 3322 Gollihar, reiterated Ms. Apusen's statements regarding her request for a Special perlmt to
be able to operate her beauty shop from her home.
Public hearing was closed.
comrmssioner Salazar referred to the traffic count presented in the Zoning Report on Gollihar Road. He said
that Gollthar Road has more than 35,000 cars and is slowly developing into a business area. comrmssioner Salazar
added that he would support a Special perrmt.
We, the undersigned, do not want the property at 3322 Gollihar to be rezoned for JUL I ~ 2~11
commercial purposes. _ ~. 5;~ .~-~ ~ c~ .;.;y 0F CO,~,~U$ CHR

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
PUBLIC HEARING - ZONING (City Council Action Date: September 11, 2001)
Case No. 0801-0L A-A-A Storage Rodd Field: A change of zoning from a "B-i" Neighborhood
Business District to a "B-4" General Business District on kakeview Acres, Block 2, being 0.919 acre of Lot 14,
located on the west side of Rodd Field Road, approximately 600 feet north of Holly Road.
Planning Commission and Staff's Recommendation (08/01/01): Approved.
Requested Council Action: Approval of' the "B-4" General Business District and adoption of the attached
ordinance.
Purpose of Request: Rezoning property for sale at highest and best use.
Summary: The applicant has requested a change of zoning from a "B-i" Neighborhood Business District to a "B-4"
General Business District in order to market the property, for its highest and best use. The subject properly is
abutting a "B-4" District on the south and east and has direct access to an arterial, Rodd Field Road. On the north
side of the subject property, there is an existing mini-storage facility and its proposed expansion abuts the subject
property on the west. North of the mini-storage facility, there is an existing apartment complex that abuts vacant
land to the noah. West of the mini-storage expansion, the area is zoned an "R-iB" One-family Dwelling District
and developed ;vith single-family residential. Expanding the "B-4" District onto the subject property will not impact
these residential areas since the existing mini-storage facility is a low-impactive use located bet;veen the subject
property and the residences.
Applicant's Position: The applicant concurs with Planning Commission's recommendation.
Notification: Prior to the date of this memorandum, six (6) notices were mailed to the property o;vners within a
200-foot radius, of which none were returned in favor and one (1) was returned in opposition. The 20% rule is not
in effect.

Case No. 0801-01 (A-A-A Storage Rodd Field)

Zoning Inventory:
The subject property is part of a tract of land zoned a "B-I" District containing 29.85 acres. This
district extends north toward South Padre Island Drive and is predominantly undeveloped. There
is a tract of land zoned a "B-I" District and developed in conjunction with the adjacent "A-I"
District. The development consists of an apartment complex. Another "A-I" District tract located
northeast of the subject property contains 12.5 acres and is developed xvith townhomes. An "A-2"
District to the east of the subject property contains 6.89 acres and remains undeveloped. The "B-4"
District to the southeast contains 47.58 acres and is predominantly undeveloped. The developed
portion of this "B-4" District occurs closer to Saratoga Boulevard. Adjacent to the xvest, is an area
zoned an "R-lB" District and predominantly developed with single-family residential.
Planning Staff Analysis:
General Characteristics and Background: The applicant has requested a change of zoning
from a "B-I" Neighborhood Business District to a "B-4" General Business District in order
to market the property for its highest and best use. The subject property is abutting a "B-4"
District on the south and east and has direct access to an arterial, Rodd Field Road. On the
north side of the subject property, there is an existing mini-storage facility and its proposed
expansion abuts the subject property on the west. North of the mini-storage facility, there
is an existing apartment complex that abuts vacant land to the north. West of the mini-
storage expansion, the area is zoned an "R-1B" One-family Dwelling District and developed
with single-family residential. Expanding the "B-4" District onto the subject property will
not impact these residential areas since the existing mini-storage facility is a low-impacfive
use located between the subject property and the residences.
Conformity to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Compatibility: Overall, the
Comprehensive Plan Elements can be supportive of the requested "B-4" District because the
subject property has direct access to an arterial without traversing a residential area. The
Southside Ares Development Plan's future land use map recommends the area to develop
with neighborhood commercial uses. The requested "B-4" District may not be consistent
with the Plan's recommended land use, but is consistent with other policies of the Southside
Area Development Plan.
Potential Housin~ Density: Both the "B- 1" and "B-4" Districts permit a residential density
of 36.30 dwelling units per acre or 33 units on the subject property. Approval of the change
of zoning will not affect the permitted residential density.
Height/Bulk/Setbacks/Etc.: Both "B-I" and "B-4" Districts required a front yard setback of
twenty (20) feet and no side or rear yard setback unless adjacent to a residential district where
a setback often (10) feet would be required. A setback often (10) feet will be required from
the subject property's north, south and west property lines. Building height in the "B-I"
District is limited to 35 feet not to exceed three (3) stories. There are no height limitations
in the "B-4" District.

Pros:
a)
b)
c)
COILS:
a)
Signage: The "B-I" and "B-4" Districts permit unlimited wall signs. Freestanding signs in
the "B-I" District are limited to one sign with a maximum sign area of forty (40) square feet
and a maximum height of twenty (20) feet. In the "B-4" District, freestanding signs located
behind the front yard setback are unlimited as to size. height, or number. Freestanding signs
within the front yard setback are limited to one sign per street frontage with a maximum sign
area of forty (40) square feet and a maximum height of 25 feet.
TraffiC: The subject property has direct access to an arterial. Rodd Field Road, that is
currently carrying approximately 16,730 vehicles per day. Development of the subject
property with a retail establishment would not by itself adversely impact the street system.
Parking/Screening: Retail establishments are required to provide one off-street parking space
for every 200 square feet of gross floor area. Proof of compliance with the parking will be
required during the permitting phase. A standard screening fence with a height of not less
than six (6) feet is required when a business or industrial use locates next to a residential
district. A screening fence will not be required for the subject property.
Costs to City: The infrastructure required to service the subject property is in place and
further costs to the City are not anticipated.
Platting: The subject property is a portion of a platted and will be required to be platted if
it is sold to a separate entity.
(Ideas in support of the request.)
The requested "B-4" District would be an expansion of the adjacent "B-4" District to the
south and east.
The subject property has direct access to an arterial without traversing a residential area,
which is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Elements.
Existing development would buffer the residential development from the commercial
development.
(Ideas in support of maintaining the current zoning.)
The existing "B-I" District is more consistent xvith the Southside .-M'ea Development Plan's
adopted future land use map

August l. 2001
A-A-A Storage Rodd Field: 0801-01
REQUEST: "B-I" Neighborhood Business District with a Special Permit to "B-4" General Business District
on Lakeview Acres, Block 2. being 0.919 acre of Lot 14 and located on the west side of Rodd
Field Road. approximately 600 feet north of Holly Road
Mr. Saldafia presented a slide illustration of the subject property and the surrounding area. The subject
property, is part of a tract of land zoned a "B-I" District containing 29.85 acres. This district extends north toward
South Padre Island Drive and is predominantly undeveloped. There is a tract of land zoned a "B-I" District and
developed in conjunction with the adjacent "A-I" District. The development consists of an apartment complex.
Another "A-I' District tract located northeast of the subject property contains 12.5 acres and is developed with
townhomes. An "A-2" District to the east of the subject property contains 6.89 acres and remains undeveloped. The
"B-4" District to the southeast contains 47.58 acres and is predominantly undeveloped. The developed portion of
this "B-4" District occurs closer to Saratoga Boulevard. Adjacent to the west, is an area zoned an "R-lB" District
and predominantly developed with single-family residential.
The applicant has requested a change of zoning from a "B-I' Neighborhood Business District to a "B-4"
General Business District in order to market the property for a better use. The subject property is abutting a "B-4"
District on the south and east and has direct access to an arterial. Rodd Field Road. On the north side of the subject
property, there is an existing mini-storage facility and its proposed expansion abuts the subject property on the west.
North of the mini-storage facility, there is an existing apartment complex that abuts vacant land to the north. West
of the mini-storage expansion, the area is zoned an "R-IB" One-family Dwelling District and developed with single-
family residential. Expanding the "B-4" District onto the subject property will not impact these residential areas
since the existine mini-storage facility is a Iow-impact use located between the subject property and the residences.
It is Staff's opine'on that the -B-4" District should not encroach any fi~rther north unless the area has direct access to
South Padre Island Drive or is in that corridor that the Southside Area Development Plan recommends to develop
with general commercial uses.
Staffrecommends approval of the rezoning requests. Mr. Saldafia said there were six (6) notices mailed to
property owners within a 200-foot radius, of which none were received in favor and one (1) was received in
opposition.
Chairman Berlanga opened the public hearing. No one appeared in favor or opposition. Public hearing
was closed.
In response to Commissioner Sween-McGIoim Mr. Saldafia said that the same owner as the mini-storage
business owns the subject property. He added that the mini-storage is in compliance with the Special Permit issued
in June 1999.
Mr. Saldafia responded to Commissioner Amsler by saying that the applicant proposes to sell the property.
Commissioner Amsler said that changing the zoning is not viable without knowing what will be developed on the
property. Mr. Saldafla said that Staff considers the worst case scenario when considering rezoning requests. The
worst case scenario for the subject property would be a bar.
Commissioner Richter asked Staff not to consider limiting "B-4" Districts along Rodd Field Road, which is
a major arterial. Mr. Saldafia said that staffwas considering limiting "B-4" District on property abutting residential.
Vice Chairman Mims requested Staff to include in the City Council Report that the Commission supports "B-4"
District when it is along a major arterial.
Motion by Sween-McGIoin. seconded by Salazar, to approve the rezoning request. Motion passed with
Smith being absent.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
PUBLIC HEARING - ZONING (City Council Action Date: September 11, 2001)
Case No. 0801-02, Irme's Skin Care Clinic: A change of zoning fi.om an "AB" Professional Office
District to a "B-I' Neighborhood Business District on Sunnyside Strip, Lot 10 and northeast half of Lot 11,
located on the east side of Everhart Road, approximately 225 feet north of Jacquelyn Drive.
Planning Commission's Recommendation (08/01/01): Approved.
Staff's Recommendation: Denied.
Requested Council Action: Approval of the "B-I" Neighborhood Business District and adoption of the
attached ordinance.
Purpose of Request: To allow retail sales of skin care products and jewelry and increased signage.
Summary: The applicant requested a change of zoning from an "AB" Professional Office District to a "B-l"
Neighborhood Business District in order to include the retail sales of skin care products and jewelry and increased
signage. The "AB" District does not permit the storage of merchandise or retail sales and allows only one (1) 20
square foot wall sign. The subject property is located among a series of lots zoned an "AB" District and developed
with permitted uses, i.e., dental clinics, hair salons, realtor's office and medical clinics. The property has direct
access to an arterial, Everhart Road, and Jacquelyn Drive, a local residential street, and backs up to an established
residential area. Approval ofa "B-I" District on the subject property would set a precedent for rezoning similarly
located "AB" District properties within the same block. Future rezoning of multiple properties to "B-I" District
could disrupt the nonobtrusive nature of existing businesses.
In August 1995, a lot located north of the subject property, approximately 450 feet north of Harry Street, was
granted a change of zoning fi.om an "R-lB" One-family Dwelling District to a "B-i" District. In August 2000, a
"B-lA" District on the adjacent lot to the north was approved. In 1999, approximately 200 feet north of Harry
Street, three (3) lots were denied a change of zoning to a "B-I" District but were granted an "AB" District with a
Special Permit for a consignment store. The area between Harry Street and South Alameda has been transitioning
from residential to nonresidential uses. The area between Harry Street and Jacquelyn Drive has remained constant
for the past fil~een (15) years.
"B-i" District permitted uses would also increase the traffic that could impact the existing school and community
center across Everhart Road to the west. The applicant believes the business would not be able to survive without
additional signage and retail sales. The applicant has considered the option of a Special Permit for retail sales but
they will continue to be restricted by the "AB" District sign regulations. Each business may have one (1) square
foot identification wall sign in addition to a 20 square foot wall sign for the premise. The subject property has an
existing 20 square foot wall sign for one of the other tenants. Therefore, the applicant is not allowed to have another
wall sign that exceeds one square foot. An "AB" Conditional Sign Permit, if approved by the Commission, would
permit a 20 square foot freestanding sign in lieu of a wall sign that all tenants could potentially use.
Applicant's Position: The applicant concurs with Planning Commission's recommendation. The Planning
Commission vote in favor of the ~B-I" District was unanimous.
Notification: Prior to the date of this memorandum, twenty-four (24) notices were mailed to the property owners
within a 200-foot radius, of which three (3) were returned in favor and three were returned in opposition. The
subject property owner also submitted a notice in favor. The 20% rule is in effect requiring seven (7) votes to
approve the rezoning.

north side of South Staples Street and south of the subject property, was denied a change of zoning
to an "I-2" District, and in lieu thereof, was granted a Special Permit for a resistor plant.
In September 1998, Lot 1, Block 32, Pope Place 5, located on the northwest comer of Harry Street
and Everhart Road, northwest from the subject property, the Planning Commission denied a change
of zoning from an "R-lB" District to an "R-2" District. In November 1998, the applicant withdrew
the request.

Zoning Inventory:
The subject property is par~ of a 7.27-acre tract o f land zoned an "AB" District that is developed with
a mixture of offices and beauty shops. To the east, there are 2,496 acres ofland zoned an "R-lB"
District and developed with single-family residences. West of the subject property, there is a 3.08-
acre tract of land that is zoned an "R-lB" District and developed with a private school and
community center. South of the subject property, there are 89 acres of land zoned a "B-4" District
that are developed with mixture of restaurants, offices, retail stores, and a manufacturing facility with
a Special Permit. There are three (3) tracts of land that are zoned a "B-I" District of which one tract
contains 0.39 acre and developed with lift station, another tract contains 0.48 acre and is part ora
retail establishment, and the third tract contains 1.17 acres and is developed with an auto repair
facility and a driving school.
Planning Staff Analysis:
General Characteristics and Backm'ound: The applicant requested a change of zoning from
an "AB" Professional Office District to a "B-I" Neighborhood Business District in order to
include the retail sales of skin care products and jewelry and increased signage. The "AB"
District does not permit the storage of merchandise or retail sales and allows only one (1) 20
square foot wall sign. The subject property is located among a series of lots zoned an "AB"
District and developed with permitted uses, i.e., dental clinics, hair salons, realtor's office
and medical clinics. The property has direct access to an arterial, Everhart Road, and
Jacquelyn Drive, a local residential street, and backs up to an established residential area.
Approval ora "B~I" on the subject property would set a precedent for rezoning similarly
located "AB" properties within the same block. Future rezoning of multiple properties to
"B-1" could disrupt the nonobtrusive nature of existing businesses.
In August 1995, a lot located north of the subject property, approximately 450 feet north of
Harry Street, was granted a change of zoning from an "R-lB" One-family Dwelling District
to a "B-I" District. In August 2000, a "B-lA" District on the adjacent lot to the north was
approved. In 1999, approximately 200 feet north of Harry Street, three (3) lots were denied
a change of zoning to a "B-I" District but were granted an "AB" District with a Special
Permit for a consignment store. The area between Harry Street and South Alameda has been
transitioning from residential to nonresidential uses. The area between Harry Street and
Jacquelyn Drive has remained constant for the past fifteen (15) years.
"B-1" District permitted uses would also increase the traffic that could impact the existing
school and community center across Everhart Road to the west. The applicant believes the
business would not be able to survive without additional signage and retail sales. The
applicant has considered the option ora Special Permit for retail sales but they will continue
to be restricted by the "B-I" District sign regulations. Each business may have one (I)
square foot identification wall sign in addition to a 20 square foot wall sign for the premise.
The subject property has an existing 20 square toot xvall sign for one of the other tenants.
Therefore, the applicant is not allowed to have another wall sign that exceeds one square

foot. An "AB" Conditional Sign Permit, if approved by the Commission, would permit a 20
square foot freestanding sign in lieu of a wall sign that all tenants could potentially use.
· Conformity to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Compatibility: Overall, the
Comprehensive Plan Elements can be supportive of the requested "B-I' District due to its
direct access to an arterial without traversing a residential area. The Southeast Area
Development Plan's adopted future land use map recommends the area to develop with
professional office uses. The requested "B-I" District not consistent with the Plan's
recommended land use.
Potential Housing Density: Both the "AB" and "B-I" District permit a residential density
of 36.30 dwelling units per acre or 14 units on the subject property. Approval of the "B-I"
District will not affect the residential density of the area.
Height/Bulk/Setbacks/Etc.: Both the "AB" and "B-I" Districts require a front yard setback
of twenty (20) feet and a side and rear yard often (10) feet each in the "AB" District and no
side or rear yard in the "B-I" District unless adjacent to a residential district. If adjacent to
a residential district, a setback often (10) feet is required along that residential adjacency.
Buildings in the "AB" and "B-I" Districts are limited to a height of three (3) stories with the
"AB" District allowing 45 feet and the "B-I" District allowing 35 feet.
Signage: Signs in the "AB" District are limited to one wall sign with an area not to exceed
twenty (20) square feet and each business may have a one square foot identification wall
sign. However, with Planning Commission approval, one freestanding sign with a height of
fifteen (15) feet and an area of twenty (20) square feet in lieu of the wall sign may be
permitted. The "B-I" District permits unlimited ~vall signs and one freestanding sign with
an area of forty (40) square feet and a height of twenty (20) feet.
Traffic: Approval of the requested "B-I" District xvill allow retail establishments as well as
fast-food restaurants that xvill increase the amount of traffic in the area. However, the subject
property does have direct access to an arterial that is designed to carry large volumes of
traffic. The potential increase in traffic may not impact the street system, but it will affect
the adjacent uses, especially the private school and community center across Everhart Road
to the west.
Parking/Screening: A retail establishment is required to provide off-street parking at a rate
of one parking space for each 200 square feet of gross floor area. The 3,049 square foot
building will be required to provide at least sixteen (16) off-street parking spaces.
Compliance with the parking regulations will be enforced during the permitting phase of the
project. A standard screening fence with a height of not less than six (6) feet is required
when a business or industrial use locates adjacent to a residential district. A standard
screening fence will be required along the east property line.

Costs to Cit~: All of the infrastructure require to service the subject property, is in place and
no costs to the City are anticipated.
Platting: The subject property contains a platted lot and a portion of a lot and further
replatting is not required.
(Ideas in support of the request.)
The subject property has direct access to an arterial without traversing a residential area.
The area between S. Staples Street and S. Alameda Street has been trans:t~oning to retail
uses.
(Ideas in support of maintaining the current zoning.)
The existing "AB" District is more consistent with the Southeast Area Development Plan's
adopted future land use map.
The enclave where the subject property is situated has remained constant as professional
office uses.
Approval of a "B-1" District will domino onto the adjacent tracts.
Denied.

Dear Commissioners;
I am writing to your with concern regarding the Zoning Application, Case
#0801-02 Irme's Skincare Clinic at 745 Everhart. In all due respect to her,
we oppose the zomng change.
The Jewish Community Council has been located at this location since 1953.
For years this has been know as a professional area nestling in the midst of a
residential area.
We feel if this area is rezoned as a Retail Business it may produce much
more retail activity than is beneficial to the area. An already busy street may
suffer from further increases in traffic and accidents due to more frequent
entry and exits from business.
Please consider our concerns regarding this issue before rezoning this area.

Dear Sirs:
As representative of the 737 Everhart Road Condominium Association, I strongly support denial
of the request to rezone the location of Irme's Skincare Clinic (745 Everhart Road) from AB
(professional offices) to B-1 (neighborhood business).
This area is professional office in character with a day school facility across the street at the
Jewish Community Center (750 Everhart Road). Allowing a "Neighborhood Business" location in
the area of "Professional Offices" is reminiscent of what in the past was called "spot zoning". We
fought that in the past for the same reasons that we object to it today.
Changing the zoning for one building location among professionat office space would disturb the
character of the area. to the detriment of the existing offices. Many of the offices have patients or
clients who are elderly and have a difficult enough time as it is combating the traffic on Everhart
Road. A "Neighborhood Business" zone would increase the traffic pattern on an already difficult
street. The increase traffic flow would also tend to decrease the safety for the parents and
children who attend the J.C.C. Preschool, during after school activities and during the J.C.C.
Summer Camp program.
A beauty shop can very easily carry out its normal business activities under the designation of
"Professional Offices". No chanqe in zoninq is necessary, warranted nor desirable.
Yc cooperation in this matter is appreciated.
9rely,

Irme's Skin Care Clinic: 0801-02
REQUEST:
"AB" Professional Office Development to "B-I" Neighborhood Business District on Sunnyside
Strip, Lot l0 and northeast half of Lot ll and located on the east side of Everhart Road,
approximately 225 feet north of Jacquelyn Drive
Mr. Saldafia presented a slide illustration of the subject property and surrounding area. The subject property
is part of a 7.27-acre tract of Iand zoned an "AB" District that is developed with a mixture of offices and beauty
shops. To the east, there are 2,496 acres of land zoned an "R-lB" District and developed with single-family
residences. West of the subject property,, there is a 3.08-acre tract of land that is zoned an "R-lB" District and
developed with a private school and community center. South of the subject property, there are 89 acres of land
zoned a "B-4" District that are developed with mixture of restaurants, offices, retail stores, and a manufacturing
facility with a Special Permit. There are three (3) tracts of land that are zoned a "B-I" District of which one tract
contains 0.39 acre and developed with lif~ station, another tract contains 0.48 acre and is part of a retail
establishment, and the third tract contains 1.17 acres and is developed with an auto repair facility and a driving
school.
The applicant has requested a change of zoning from an "AB" Professional Office District to a "B-I"
Neighborhood Business District in order to expand the existing skin care facility to include the retail sales of skin
care products and jewelry. The "AB" District does not permit the storage of merchandise in the building or on the
premise. Therefore, retail sales in an "AB" District is not permitted. The subject property is in an area that is zoned
an "AB" District and developed with uses permitted in this zoning district, such as dental clinics, hair salons,
realtor's office and medical clinics. The property has direct access to an arterial, Everhart Road, without traversing a
residential area. However, it does back-up to an established residential area. North of the subject property,
approximately 450 feet north of Harry Street, in August 1995, one lot was granted a change of zoning fi.om an .
"R-lB" One-family Dwelling District to a "B-I" District and in August 2000, a "B-lA" District on the adjacent lot
to the north was approved. However, approximately 200 feet north of Harry Street, in November 1999, three (3) lots
were denied a change of zoning to a "B-I" District but were granted an "AB" District with a Special Permit for a
consignment store. The area north of Harry Street has been going through a transition fi.om residential to non-
residential uses. The area south of Harry Street has remained constant for the past fifteen (15) years. Approval of a
"B-I' District would disrupt the quiet, non-obtrusive nature of the existing businesses in this area. A "B-I' District
permiixed uses would increase the traffic that could impact the existing school and conununity center across
Everhart Road to the west. However, if the business is not able to have retail sales, it will not be able to survive in
this area. The applicant has considered the option of a Special Permit for retail sales. The drawback on the Special
Permit is that the applicant wilI continue to be restricted by the "AB" District sign regulations. In the "AB" District.
the property may contain only one wall sign with an area not to exceed twenty (20) square feet and each business
may have a one square foot identification wall sign. The applicant's neighbor, on the same lot. currently has an
existing wall sign. Therefore. the applicant is not allowed to have another wall sign that exceeds one square foot.
There were 24 notices mailed to property owners within a 200-foot radius of which three (3) were returned
in favor and two (2) were returned in opposition. Staffrecommends denial of the rezoning request.
Chairman Berlanga opened the public hearing.
Irma Ornelas, applicant. 745 Everhart Suite B, gave a brief history of her business and locations.
Ms. Ornelas said she applied for rezoning to be able to sell her skin care products and also because she needed more
signage. She added that Mr. Richard Whitt, who owns the property, has given her an opportunity to expand her
business to 1,700 square feet. Ms. Ome}as distributed photos and presented a computerized slide illustration of her
property and the surrounding area. She said that due to her lack of signage, her customers not been able to locate
her salon and have been going to a nearby salon for their skin care services.

Commissioner Salazar suggested that the subject property be given a Special Permit for retail sales and that
the applicant could then apply for a Conditional Sign Permit that would allow a 20 square foot sign in lieu ora wall
sign. He said that he would also support a "B-I' District.
Chairman Berlanga said that the neighborhood is transitioning and that it will eventually evolve into a
"B-I" District neighborhood. Commissioner Zamora concurred.
Mr. Martin Coy, 722 Sam, asked what type of business would be operating on the subject property.
Richard Whitt, 717 Everhart, owner of the subject property, said that Everhart Road traffic is increasing.
He compared the subject property with the businesses to the north by saying that the subject property is not a home
that has been transformed into a business. He requested consideration of the "B-I" District.
Public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Sween-McGloin said that the "AB" District needed to be amended to allow for sale of
products and signage that will be able to be seen. She continued that she believes that the "AB" District is
appropriate for the subject property and that the "B-I" District is not an appropriate buffer for the abutting
neighborhood.
Commissioner Pusley concurred with Commissioner Sween-McGloin and added that uses allowed in a
"B-I" District would not be appropriate for the abutting neighborhood. He said that the "AB" District allows small
businesses to be in high traffic areas.
After a lengthy discussion reearding whether the applicant would consider a "B41A" Neighborhood
Business District, Mr. Whin said that th~"B-IA" District would not be supported. He said that cost of the masonry
fence was an issue. He also expressed concern with the possibility that the surrounding properties would not be
required to erect a masonry fence and that his property would not be consistent with the area. Mr. Whitt said that he
preferred the "B-I" District.
Commissioner Richter said that the "B-1A" District would be successful if the entire block were rezoned.
Motion by Salazar, seconded by Zamora, to approve a "B-I" Neighborhood Business District. Motion
passed with Amsler, Bertanga, Mims. Salazar, and Zamora voting "Aye"; Pusley, Richter, and Sween-McGloin
voting "Nay"; and Smith being absent.

Tabled Zonin~ Case No. 0701-03 (Alfonso G. Benavides)
On August 21, 2001, the City Council reviewed the above referenced zoning case for a change
of zoning fi.om an "R-lB" One-family Dwelling District to a "B-I" Neighborhood Business
District. The subject property is located on the south side of Leopard Street, approximately
220 feet east of Roundtree Circle. After hearing testimony from the applicant, the Council
tabled the zoning request to allow time for the Planning Staff and the applicant to meet to
discuss an "AB" Professional Office District with a Special Permit for a bakery. A proposed
Special Permit to allow the bakery and rezoning to an "AB" District to permit a 20 square foot
wall sign was drafted (Ordinance attached) and discussed with the applicant. The applicant
indicated that the "B-I" Disthct is prefelTed over the "AB" District with a Special Permit in
that a "B-I" District permits the bakery use as well as a free standing sign not to exceed 40
square feet.
The Planning Commission recommended on an 8-1 vote, the approval of the "B-I" District.
If the City Council does not support the "B-I" District, the applicant would be willing to
accept an "AB" Disu-ict with the Special Permit

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
PUBLIC HEARING - ZONING (City Council Action Date: August 21, 2001)
Case No. 0701-03~ Alfonso G. Benavides: A change of znning from an "R-lB" One-family Dwelling
District to a "B-I" Neighborhood Business District on Rolling Acres No. 1, being the northwesterly 107 feet of
Tract 16, located on the south side of Leopard Street, approximately 220 feet east of Roundtree Circle.
Planning Commlasion's Recommendation (07/18/01): Approved.
Staff's Recommendation: Denied.
Requested Council Action: Approval of the "B-I" Neighborhood Business Dis~ct and adoption of the
attached ordinance.
Purpose of Request: For a specialty bakery.
Summary: The applicant has requested a change of zoning from an "R-lB" One-family Dwelling District to a
"B-I" Neighborhood Business DisU'ict in order to open and operate a cake specialty bakery within the existing
residence. The applicant also plans to provide a few seating places for waLk-in customers.
The subject property is located in an area that is zoned for and predominantly developed with single-family
residences. Access to the subject property is from Leopard Street, an arterial, with no direct access to a local
residential street. There is a median in front of the subject property with median openings approximately 220 feet to
the west and 650 feet to the east. With no median opening, traffic access from Leopard Street is limited.
A "B-I" District would not be appropriate in the middle of a residential area, especially with the permitted uses of
restaurants and 24-hour convenience stores. A "B-I" Distxict with this type of access would be more appropriate if
the area were not developed with single-family residences. Adjacent to the east of the subject property, there is a
vacant lot. If "B-I" Dis~-ict were approved, it would set a precedent for reznning of adjacent vacant lots. A Special
Permit could be considered but the consequences would be the same as previously stated. Therefore, Staff cannot
recommend the "B-I" District nor a Special Permit for a bakery shop.
Applicant's Position: The applicant concurs with Planning comrmssion's recommendation.
Notification: Prior to the date of this memorandum, fourteen (14) notices were mailed to the property owners
within a 200-foot radius, of which three (3) were returned in favor and one (1) in opposition. One (1) notice in
opposition was also received from outside the notification area. The 20% rule is not in effect.

Planning Staff Analysis:
General Characteristics and Background. The applicant has requested a change of zoning
from an "R-1B" One-family Dwelling District to a "B-I" Neighborhood Business District
in order to open and operate a cake specialty bakery within the existing residence. The
applicant also plans to provide a few seating places for walk-in customers.
The subject property is located in an area that is zoned for and predominantly developed with
single-family residences. Access to the subject property is from Leopard Street, an arterial,
with no direct access to a local residential street. There is a median in front of the subject
property with median openings approximately 220 feet to the west and 650 feet to the east.
With no median opening, traffic access from Leopard Street is limited.
A "B-1" District would not be appropriate in the middle of a residential area, especially with
the permitted uses of restaurants and 24-hour convenience stores. A "B-I" District with this
type of access would be more appropriate if the area were not developed with single-family
residences. Adjacent to the east of the subject property, there is a vacant lot. If "B-I"
District were approved, it would set a precedent for rezoning of adjacent vacant lots. A
Special Permit could be considered but the consequences would be the same as previously
stated. Therefore, Staff cannot recommend the "B-i" District nor a Special Pemfit for a
bakery shop.
Conformity to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Compatibility: Overall, the
Comprehensive Plan Elements can be supportive of the requested "B-1" District because of
the subject property's direct access to an arterial without traversing through a residential
neighborhood. The Northwest Area Development Plan's adopted future land use map
recommends the area to develop with low-density residential uses. The requested "B-i"
District is not consistent with the Plan's recommended land use.
Potential Housing Density: The "R-IB" District permits a density of 7.26 dwelling units per
acre or five (5) units on the subject property. A "B-i" District permits a density of 36.30
dwelling units per acre or 25 units on the subject property. The increase in density will not
adversely impact the adjacent street system, but it will impact the adjacent single-family uses.
Height/Bulk/Setbacks/Etc.: The "R-lB" District requires a front yard setback of 25 feet with
a side and rear yard setback of five (5) feet each. A "B-I" District requires a front yard
setback of twenty (20) feet and no side or rear yard setback unless adjacent to a residential
district where a setback often (10) feet each would be required. If the rezoning is approved,
the subject property would be required to maintain a setback often (10) feet from its south,
east and west property lines. Both the "R-lB" and "B-I" Districts limit the building height
to 35 feet not to exceed three (3) stories.
Signage: Signs in the "R-lB" District are limited to one wall sign with an area not to exceed
one square foot. Approval of a Special Permit cannot allow an increase in sign area. The
Zoning Report
Case No. 0701-03 (Alfonso G. Benavides)
Page 4
"B-1' District permits unlimited wall signs and one freestanding sign with an area of forty
(40) square feet and a height of twenty (20) feet.
Traffic: The subject property has direct access to an arterial, Leopard Street, that is carrying
over 15,000 vehicles per day. The amount of traffic generated by the proposed bakery will
have minimal impact on the street system.
Parking/Screening: A bakery use is treated the same as a restaurant which is to require one
off-street parking space for each 100 square feet of gross floor area. The existing structure
of 1,650 square feet would require seventeen (17) off-street parking spaces. If a Special
Permit is approved, the SP could reduce or increase the required number of parking spaces.
A standard screening fence with a height of not less than six (6) feet would be required when
a business or industrial use locates adjacent to a residential district. The subject property will
be required to contain a standard screening fence along it south, east and west property lines.
Costs to City: All of the infrastructure required to serve the subject property is in place and
no additional costs to the City are anticipated.
Platting: The subject property is a portion of a larger lot and will be required to replat before
any building permits will be issued.
Pros: (Ideas in support of the request.)
a) The subject property has direct access to an arterial without traversing residential area.
b) The area across Leopard Street is planned to develop with commercial uses.
Cons: (Ideas in support of maintaining the current zoning.)
a)
The subject property is recommended by the Northwest Area Development Plan to develop
with Iow-density use and retain its "R-lB" District designation.
b) The subject property in the middle of a developed single-family area.
c) Approval of the rezoning would domino onto the vacant lot adjacent to the east.
Staff Recommendation:
Denial.

REQUEST:
"R-lB" One-family Dwelling District to "B-I" Neighborhood Business District on property
described as Rolling Acres No. 1, being the northwesterly 107 feet of Tract 16, located on the
south side of Leopard slreet, approximately 220 feet east of Roundtree Circle.
Mr. Saldafia presented a computerized slide illustration of the subject property is part of an area containing
1,436 acres, zoned an "R-lB" District and predominantly developed w/th single-family residences. Northeast of the
subject property, there are 144 acres of land zoned a "B-4" District and developed with retail and restaurant uses.
Noxthwest of the subject prope~t, there axe two (2) tracts of land zoned an "AB" DisUict containing 2 acres and
developed with an office and a child care center.
The applicant has requested a change of zoinng from an "R-lB" One-family Dwelling District to a "B-I"
Neighborhood Business District m order to operate a cake specialty bakery. It is not the intent of the applicant to
sell donuts or other similar items for on-site or off-site consumption. The applicant would like to have a few seating
places should someone like to come in and indulge m a slice of cake with a beverage (non-alcoholic).
The subject property is located in an area that is zoned for and predominantly developed with single-family
residences. Access to the subject property is from Leopard Street, an arterial, with no direct access to a local
residential street. Leopard Stxeet has currently undergone an maProvement that included the construction of a
median. There is a median in front of the subject property with a median opening approXamately 220 feet to the
west and 650 feet to the east. With no direct access from the Leopard Street westbound traffic, the traffic accessing
the subject property would be intended for the business instead of drive-by traffic.
A "B-1" District would not be appropriate in the middle of a residential area, especially with the permitted uses
of restaurants and 24-hour convenience stores. Staffis of the opimon that a "B-l" Disthct with this type of access
would be appropriate if the area were not developed with single-family residences. Adjacent to the east of the
subject property, there is a vacant lot. If the requested zoning were approved, the "B-I" District would domino onto
the vacant lot. A Special Permit could be considered but the consequences would be the same as previously stated.
Therefore, Staff cannot recommend the "B-l" District nor a Special perrmt for a bakery shop. Mr. Saldafia
explained that if the planning Commission is inclined to recommend a Special Permit, the conditions could include
limiting the use to a specialty bakery, no sale of food other than the baked goods made on-site, limit the hours of
operation, require that the structure maintain it residential character, prohibit off-street parking in the front twenty
(20) feet, limit the number of access points to one, prohibit the location of the dumpster from being placed in front
of the existing building and within fifty (50) feet of any lot line.
Overall, the Comprehensive Plan Elements can be supportive of the requested "B-I" District because of the
subject property's direct access to an arterial without traversing through a residential neighborhood. The Northwest
Aroa Development Plan's adopted future land use map recommends the area to develop with low-density residential
uses. The requested "B-I' Distxict is not consistent with the Plan's recommended land use. Therefore, Staff's
recou~lxandation is for demal of the rezoning request. There were 14 notices mailed to property owners within a
200-foot radius of which three (3) were received in favor and one (1) was received in opposition. There was also a
letter from outside the 200-foot radius in opposition to the rezonmg request.
Public hearing was opened.
Alfonso Benavides, 147 Redwood, distxibuted photos of the subject property and adjacent properties. Mr.
Benavides said that he would be agreeable to a Special permxt that would allow operation a bakery selling cakes. He
said he visited with neighbors within a 200-foot radius to/nform them of his plans for a bakery and collected 32
signatures from residents m the area in favor of his proposal. He highlighted and responded to each section in the
zoning report. He said that he agreed with almost every section except for signage and expressed concern with only
being allowed to have a I x 1 sign. Mr. Benavides said that a bakery would not be able to survive on Leopard Street
with a 1 x 1 sign that has to be on the building.

Mr. Benavides said that he has purchased the property and that the home's exterior will not be altered. He
added that he preferred that the structure remain consistent with the surrounding area.
Rosario Benavides, 9961 Leopard, reiterated Mr. Benavides statements and added that she wanted a business
that could be operated from her home, so she could spend more time with the children.
Commissioner Cheek asked whether the Mr. Benavides searched for property in other areas that were already
commercially zoned that would allow him to open a bakery. Mr. Benavides responded that the other propexfies he
found were too expensive. He said that he purchased the subject property for his residence and then decided to
operate the bakery from his home.
Commissioner Pusley said that he did not agree with a "B-I" District in the middle of a neighborhood. He
added that he knew several of 32 the people who signed Mr. Benavides' petition and that many of them did not live
in the area.
Mr. Gnnning said that there would be a domino effect if the subject property were rezoned to a "B-I" District.
It is critical when property in the rmddle of a residential neighborhood is rezoned for commercial uses. Mr. Gunning
informed the comrmssion that if the subject property received a Special perrmt, the property would only be allowed
to have a 1 x 1 sign. He added that there are other issues that would be associated with the home being used as a
bakery. These issues would need to be discussed with the Building Division.
Public hearing was closed.
commmsion expressed concern with the Northwest Area Development Plan illnstratmg commercial on the
noxth side Leopard Street and residential on the south side. A lengthy discussion ensued regarding signage, traffic on
Leopard Street, and requirements allowed with a Special permtt.
Motion by Mires, seconded by Zamora, to approve a "B- 1" District. Motion passed with Pusley voting "Nay".

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
September 6, 2001
AGENDA ITEM:
A) Motion to amend prior to second reading of Ordinance B by substituting the revised
ordinance.
B) Second Reading Ordinance - Amending the Zoning Ordinance by revising Article 3,
Definitions; Article 4A, "F-R" Farm-Rural District Regulations; Article 4B, "RE"
Residential Estate District Regulations; Article 4C, "RA" One-family Dwelling District
Regulations; Articles 5, "R-lA" One-family Dwelling District Regulations; Article 6B,
"R-TH" Townhouse Dwelling District Regulations; Article 8A, "A-IA" Apartment House
District Regulations; Article 9, "A-2" Apartment House District Regulations; Article 10,
"AT" Apartment-Tourist District Regulations; Article 11, "AB" Professional Office District
Regulations; Article 12A, "B-lA" Neighborhood Business District Regulations; Article 14A,
"BD" Corpus Christi Beach Design District Regulations; Article 22, Off-Street Parking
Regulations; and by adding a new Article 25A, Specific Use Permit (SLIP); providing for
severance; and providing for publication.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: In order to establish Bed and Breakfast (B&B) Homes
and Bed and Breakfast (B&B) Inns, Council must approve the attached substitute ordinance
on second reading.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On August 28, 2001, City Council approved on second reading all proposed zoning text
amendments not related to B&B uses and by motion tabled action on the B&B amendments
to their September 1 I, 2001 meeting.
BACKGROUND:
Basically B&B uses are unregulated in the city and are permitted as a matter of right under
current zoning laws provided they do not exceed more than four (4) boarders. No Certificate
of Occupancy is required for opening a B&B use in any district permitting single-family
residency. For clarification purposes, the original B&B ordinance presented on August 21,
2001 grouped B&B uses into two categories:
· B&B Homes - Permitted in residential neighborhoods ("FR" Farm-Rural through "A-lA"
Apartment House Districts);
· B&B hms - Permitted in high-density residential and commercial areas ("A-2"
Apartment House through "BD" Beach Design Districts).
Although there were multiple concerns about B&B Homes locating in residential
neighborhoods, no issues were raised with B&B Inns since they would be restricted to zoning
districts designed to accommodate higher intensity uses.

Neighborhood representatives also discussed requirements for reapproval of a B&B Home
upon transfer of ownership and enforcement of deed restrictions and covenants. With respect
to transferability of ownership, Staff is of the opinion that the ordinance as recommended
under the Specific Use Permit (SUP) process provides more than adequate protection to
surrounding residences. Regarding deed restrictions and covenants, these are considered
private matters between property owners and enforceable only by private property owners.
Although there was not a complete consensus among attendees on all issues, the majority of
the issues raised were addressed with the various changes being incorporated into the
recommended ordinance.
ARTICLE 25A SPECIFIC USE PERMIT (SUP)
In order to provide a mechanism for Planning Commission review and recommendation and
final approval by City Council of future B&B Homes in residential neighborhoods, a Specific
Use Permit (SLIP) process, designated as Article 25A, is proposed as a means for the city to
address placement of unusual or extraordinary uses via a public heating and notification
process. An SUP will require findings by the Planning Commission and Council that the
proposed use is compatible and compliments the surrounding uses and community facilities;
promotes the welfare of the area and adjacent properties; protects public health, safety, and
general welfare; and conforms in all other respects to zoning regulations and standards.
Under Section 25A -3 of the attached ordinance, the B&B Home was added as the first use
to be contained in this new article. The performance standards for a B&B Home proposed in
the original ordinance have now been incorporated in the SUP ordinance. Additionally, all
SUPs will be required to comply with the public notice and heating requirements in the same
manner as an application for rezoning.
In the future the SUP process should allow the city to add other uses such as bars, taverns,
night clubs, outside amusement and entertaimnent facilities, half-way houses, rehab centers,
and homeless shelters. For uses listed under Article 25A, the SUP would be required in
addition to the required base zoning for uses delineated in the ordinance.

requires the assessor to submit the unit's tax levy to the governing body for approval.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Texas Property Tax Code establishes rules for adoption of the ad valorem tax rate and approval
of the tax levy. The ad valorem tax rate is comprised of two components: the rate needed to support
the City's debt service and the rate needed to support the City's maintenance and operation
expenditures for FY 2001-2002. The tax levy is the amount of current taxes to be collected for 2001-
2002, which is derived by applying the adopted tax rate to the certified appraisal roll.
The proposed tax rate on $100 valuation for the City of Corpus Christi for tax year 2001 is as
follows:
$0.4575227 for purpose of maintenance and operation
$0.1866518 for payment of principal and interest on debt
$0.6441745 Total Tax Rate
The proposed tax rate of $0.6441745/$100 valuation is an increase of $0.0204485 over last year's
tax rate of $0.623726/$100 valuation, and was authorized by the voters on November 7, 2000 to fund
the 2000 Bond Issue projects. This increase is allocated to the Debt Service Fund.
The Fiscal Year 2001-2002 City Budget approved by City Council on July 24, 2001 included a
proposed tax rate of $0.6441745/$100 valuation, allocated between the General Fund and the Debt
Service Fund in the amounts of $0.4575227 and $0.1866518, respectively. The proposed rate
exceeds 103 percent of the effective tax rate of $0.604992, thus requiring a public hearing, which
was held on August 28, 2001.
The tax levy for 2001, based upon a tax rate of $0.6441745 per $100 valuation and a taxable value
of $8,029,325,055 is as follows:
Tax Levv Component
$36,735,985 supporting the city's maintenance and operations
$14.986.880 supporting the City's debt service
$51.722.865 Total Tax Levy
This is an increase of $3,994,993 compared to the 2000 tax levy of $47,727,872. The tax levy
allocated to the General Fund of $36,735,985, and to the Debt Service Fund of $14,986,880, is
reduced by estimated delinquent collections and the City's portion of the estimated Reinvestment
Zone levy to arrive at the adopted FY 2001-2002 current ad valorem tax budget of $35,007,446 and
$14,282,493, respectively. A copy of the Certification of Tax Levy is attached.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Corpus Christi Business and Job Development Corporation (Board) met on September 10, 2001
to finalize several items for the Seawall Project to present to the City Council for approval at the
day's Council Meeting. The items before you today consist of a Resolution approving the Resolution
authorizing the Issuance of Bonds by the Corpus Christi Business and Job Development Corporation
and the Execution of a Sales Tax Remittance Agreement, a Project Agreement and a Bond Purchase
Agreement with respect to the Seawall Project.
On August 9 and 10, 2001, several elected officials and City Staff visited with several rating and
insurance agencies in New York to obtain ratings on the bonds for thc Seawall Project. After the
conclusion thereof, Moody's Investors Services rated the bonds A3; Standard & Poor's rated the
bonds A-; and Fitch rated the bonds A. Per the visits with the insurance agencies, the City received
four bids for the insurance coverage on the bonds and to provide a surety in lieu of funding Bond
Reserve from bond proceeds. After review of the bids, Staff determined that the bid from Ambac
Assurance Corporation, a Wisconsin domiciled stock insurance company, was the most
advantageous bid.
The bonds are being priced by the Underwriters on September 6, 2001, and upon review and
recommendation of approval of our financial advisor, the pricing information (which consists of
interest rates and premium and/or discount associated with the proposed purchase and sale of the
bonds) will be forwarded to Board prior to the meeting by separate cover.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
City Council Meeting- September 11, 2001
AGENDA ITEM: Motion authorizing staff to issue a Request for Proposal to obtain an
artist to work with the Engineering Firm on development of a streetscape design for the
Seawall Project.
ISSUE: At the joint meeting of the City Council and Arts and Cultural Commission on
August 28, 2001 staff was instructed to bring back an action item to seek a Request for
Proposal from various artists to help the Engineering Firm develop a streetscape design
for the Seawall Project.
BACKGROUND: In March of 1987 Ordinance Number 19663 was passed by the City
Council. The ordinance established the Municipal Public Art Program. The ordinance
authorized one and one-quarter (1 1/4%) percent of construction costs to be set-aside for
the selection, acquisition, commissioning, and display of works of art.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Authorize staff to proceed with the Request for
Proposal to obtain an artist to develop the streetscape plan for the Seawall Project.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends passage o f the motion.

AN OPEN CALL FOR ARTISTS
The City of Corpus Christi is conducting a search for an environmental artist who has
experience working with engineers or an engineering team.
By November 15,2001 The City Corpus Christi would like to include an artist/designer
in the planning phase of a streetscape, the creation of which will concur with the abandonment-
in-place and reconstruction of a seawall which runs about two miles along and between Corpus
Christi Bay and Shoreline Blvd. Shoreline Blvd. is the street that runs between the bay and
downtown Corpus Christi, TX. These two miles cover the mosi isited area of the city; runners,
walkers, skaters, sightseers, sun bathers, and those who just co~::c to sit and watch the boats and
the birds are members of the ever present group of"recreators". With its bayside horizon view
the area is inviting and naturally beautiful. At its north end is the Bayfront Arts and Science
Park, a culturally active section which includes the South Texas Institute for the Arts, Corpus
Christi Museum of Natural History, Heritage Park, the Port of Corpus Christi, and the (soon-to-
be) new multi-purpose arena, and all in a relatively small area. At its south end is Magee Beach.
"Miradors" (octagonal shelters from which Corpus Christi Bay can be observed) and benches are
placed at regular intervals along the sidewalk. "T" heads and "L" heads (small drives which
extend into the bay and serve as mooring docks for fishing vessels and private boats, as well as
good places to go walking) occupy the center blocks of the area. Teaming with activity most of
the time, they host floating restaurants, tour boats, shrimp boats, the Corpus Christi Yacht Club,
fishing piers, jetties, a bait shop/seafood market, as well as other recreational opportunities.
Restaurants, motels, hotels, office buildings, the federal courthouse, city parks, and the Memorial
Coliseum line the city side of Shoreline Blvd.
With all its natural appeal, until now there has not been an opportunity to give this area
the element of cohesion. Because of the Seawall project, almost two miles of continuous
walkway will be addressed. This will create the perfect opportunity to consider the available
options for aesthetically unifying this most important part of downtown Corpus Christi.
It has been suggested that the eligible funds for public art related to the Seawall
Improvement Project might be best utilized to enlist the services of a visual artist with
experienced in environmental design to collaborate with the engineers on this project. Together,
the selected artist and the contracted engineering firm will create the design and plans for a bay
front streetscape which would be engaging and would enhance and make delightful an already
beautiful part of downtown Corpus Christi. The work on this 1.8mile stretch will be carried out
in four phases (each by a different contractor), a unique reality and but one of the challenges to
be addressed by this team. The Arts and Cultural Coinmission sees this as another great
opportunity to serve the community and has agreed to use the eligible funds for public art related
to this project to pay for the services of the selected artist and for additional costs resulting from
design factors which would not otherwise occur in the engineering and construction plans for the
Seawall Improvements Project.
A design fee of not less than $20,000. will be awarded to the artist/designer selected to
participate in the design of approximately $1.5 million dollars of streetscape improvements along
the seawall.
Artists with a collaborative spirit, who have experience working with engineers and find
this project interesting are encouraged to send a list of references and documentation of past
projects to Danny O'Dowdy, The City of Corpus Christi Percent for Art Program, Park
&Recreation, Multicultural Services, 1581 N. Chaparral, Corpus Christi, TX., 78401, and should
be postmarked no later than 11/25/01.
