Kinnison Council Members: Javier D. Colmenero Henry Garrett Bill Kelly John Longoria Jesse Noyola Mark Scott Ci_ty Staff.' City Manager David R. Garcia Deputy City Manager George Noe City Attorney James R. Bray Jr. City Secretary Armando Chapa Recording Secretary Rachelle P. Ram6n ABSENT Mayor Samuel L. Neal Jr. Council Member Brent Chesney Mayor Pro Tem Kinnison called the meeting to order at the Port Royal Ocean Resort on Mustang Island. City Secretary Chapa checked the roll and verified that a quorum of the Council and the required charter officers were present. Assistant City Manager Tom Utter explained that state law requires the City Council to hold two public hearings prior to initiating annexation proceedings; this hearing is the second one (the first Council public hearing was held on October 16, 2001). He said the first reading of the annexation ordinance is scheduled for November 20, 2001 and the second reading is scheduled for December 11, 2001. Mr. Utter then described the six proposed annexation areas: Areas A and B-Wood River Development (51 acres); Area C-South Padre Island, Tracts 1 and 2 (1,251 acres); Area D- water area west of Port Aransas (919 acres); Area E-Gulf of Mexico water area east of Port Aransas (13,128 water acres); and Area F-Mustang Island north of Mustang Island State Park, Tracts 3A, 3B, 4 and 5 (718 acres). He also discussed services the city will provide upon annexation, including police, fire, water, wastewater, solid waste, and other services. Mr. Utter said that during the October 16th public heating, two citizens raised concerns about the proposed annexation dealing with the erosion line and the city's requirement for sewer systems, which staff subsequently addressed. Council Member Garrett made a motion to open the public hearing, seconded by Council Member Scott and passed (Neal and Chesney absent). Mr. Jack Ponton, 821 Alister, said that in 1999 he had urged the Council to delay the annexation of Area F until city staff and residents could work together to develop an acceptable service plan. The Council agreed at that time to delay the annexation of the developed areas of Mustang Island. He said that while many residents would prefer not to be annexed, they recognize the city has the right to do so. He said residents are mainly concerned about the cleanliness of the Minutes - Annexation Public Hearing October 22, 2001 Page 2 beaches and the use of the hotel/motel tax to promote tourism on the island. Mr. Charles Adams said he is a part-time resident of Mustang Towers and a full-time resident of Corpus Christi (6110 Boca Raton Dr.). He said the residents need more information about mail delivery, cable, and telephone services. He also questioned why the city would want to annex Area F when almost all the residents would prefer not to be annexed. Ms. Anne Stapp, a resident of Mustang Towers, asked about fire protection prior to the construction of the new fire station on Mustang Island and solid waste pick-up for condominium residents. She questioned what the residents would gain since they already receive their water service from the Nueces County Water Control and Improvement District ~ (NCWCID), the state maintains Highway 361, and the condominium maintains its own private driveway and street lights. Mr. Carl Boot, a resident of the Mayan Princess, said they do not believe they will get any services for the extra taxes they will have to pay. He said they believe this is a money-grabbing venture by the City of Corpus Christi and they would rather be annexed by the City of Port Aransas. Mr. Chuck Borders, representing the Seagull Condominium, said the residents there are also wondering how they will benefit from annexation. He said they have questions about beach cleaning, police and fire protection, storage of beach maintenance equipment, beach sticker program, beach vending in front of the condos, and the beach access plan. He urged the Council to postpone this annexation until January when the new legislation will take effect, l-Ie also asked about the future zoning of the condos and the future use of disaster cards and hurricane evacuation procedures. Mr. Borders said the proposed annexation of the western side of Area D is confusing. Mr. Jack Rush, General Manager of Port Royal Ocean Resort, questioned the language regarding the "level of service" in the proposed service plan, specifically regarding the level of police protection. He also referred to a report dated April 9, 1999 regarding assumed growth on the island and questioned whether those assumptions are still valid. Dr. Fletcher Lee, Board President of the Seagull Condominium, said the residents of Mustang Island do not use Corpus Christi's facilities to the degree that ~vould justify annexation. He said it is estimated that residents of that condo will pay about $1,200 more per year in property taxes and they question whether they will get their money's worth. He also asked about beach cleaning, cost of water service, and telephone service. Mr. Bill Stephens, owner of a unit in Lost Colony Villas and a home in San Antonio, said the services for Lost Colony are provided by Port Aransas. He said Corpus Christi's City Hall is located 30.8 miles from his condo while Port Aransas is located less than nine miles away. He said it took 20 years to receive services after his home in San Antonio was annexed. He said it makes no sense for Mustang Island to be annexed by Corpus Christi rather than Port Aransas. Dr. Robert Walter, 15326 Isabella, said he is the owner of Tract 2 in Area C. He said he met with Mr. Utter and Mr. Michael Gunning, Director of Planning and Development. regarding his Minutes - Annexation Public Hearing October 22, 2001 Page 3 concerns. He said if the Council amends two city ordinances as staffwill recommend, he should be able to build a house on his property in Area C within a year or so. He said they need the city's assistance in taking his property out of the Coastal Barrier Resources Act zone. Mr. Carl Balalich said he supports this annexation because restrictions are needed on development in the county. He thanked Mr. Utter for his assistance in negotiating an agreement with the NCWCID and he asked if both of his lots (Lot 1, Block 1 and Lot 3, Block 1) will receive water and wastewater service. He added that the county has approved his septic system. Mr. Sam Poteet, 465 Marina Dr. in Port Aransas, said his company manages Mustang Towers and the Sandpiper Condominium. He said in the year 2000 Mustang Towers paid $47,771 and the Sandpiper paid $169,453 to the county and state in occupancy taxes. He said the county's portion for both properties was over $117,000. He reiterated that the residents are concerned about beach maintenance, security and access and the amount of money that will be spent for tourism on Mustang Island. He said this is not the right time to annex Area F and he said it will take many years--if it occurs at all--to provide services to that area. Cmmcil Member Longoria made a motion to close the public hearing, seconded by Council Member Scott, and passed (Neal and Chesney absent). Mr. Utter then responded to the concerns raised during the public hearing. He said approximately $846,000 in hotel/motel taxes is collected from development on Mustang Island. He said staff based its estimate on the cost to clean the beach in Area F on the fact that currently the city pays Nueces County approximately $100,000 per year to clean a one-mile stretch of beach in front of the Padre Island seawall. He said Shiner Moseley & Associates is preparing a report about best practices in beach cleaning, which City Manager Garcia further discussed. With regard to other questions, Mr. Utter said cable franchise agreements in Corpus Christi require that the companies serve the entire city (over a period of time). He said city staff is working with Southwestern Bell representatives regarding telephone service, but the mail delivery is out of the city's hands. He discussed the new fire station to be located north of Mustang Island State Park and solid waste service to the condos. He said the city will not maintain private roads but it will maintain existing beach access roads; the beach maintenance equipment will be located at the new fire station and at the reopened Packery Channel. He also discussed the beach sticker program and access plan, annexation schedule, zoning, disaster cards, police services, and water rates. He pointed out that Area F is annexed on three sides by Corpus Christi and on the fourth side by Port Aransas. Council Member Scott said the Council's intention during the hearing was to listen to the residents' concerns. He said they will discuss the proposed annexation areas at future Council meetings. Mayor Pro Tem Kiunison noted that staff will provide written responses to these questions and he said the heads of almost every city department were in attendance at the hearing. Council Member Garrett made a motion to adjourn at 7:30 p.m. on October 22, 2001. The motion was seconded by Council Member Noyola and passed (Neal and Chesney absent). PRESENT Mayor Samuel L.

Mayor Neal referred to Item 13, and a motion was made, seconded and passed to open the public hearing on the following zoning case: 13. Case No. 0901-01. Murray Bass. Jr.: A change of zoning from an "A- 1" Apartment House District to a "B- 1" Neighborhood Business District on Lindale Park 4, Block 36, on the north side of McCall Street, approximately 120 feet west of Reid Drive. City Secretary Chapa said the Planning Commission and staff recommended denial of the "B-I" District, and in lieu thereof, approval of a special permit for an off-site parking lot subject to a site plan and five (5) conditions. No one appeared in opposition to the zoning change. Mr. Kelly made a motion to close the public heating, seconded by Mr. Kimfison, and passed. Mr. Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows: ORDINANCE NO. 024642 Amending the Zoning Ordinance upon application by Murray Bass, Jr., by changing the Minutes - Regular Council Meeting October 23, 2001 Page 5 zoning map in reference to Lot 3, Block 36, Lindale Park Unit 4, (currently zoned "A-l" Apartment House District) by granting a special permit for an off-site parking lot subject to a site plan and five (5) conditions; amending the Comprehensive Plan to account for any deviations from the existing Comprehensive Plan. An emergency was declared and the foregoing ordinance passed as follows: Neal, Garrett, Kelly, Kinnison, Longoria, Noyola, and Scott voting "Aye"; Chesney and Colmenero absent. City Manager Garcia introduced Ms. Donna James, the new Manager of the Safety and Risk Department. Ms. James said she is looking forward to working with staff in her new position. Mayor Neal referred to the presentations on the day's agenda. The first presentation (Item 14) was made by Mr. John Dykema, past chairman of the board and current chair of the Building Committee of the South Texas Institute for the Ans. He referred to a model of the art museum's facility expansion project, noting that the expansion will now be completely situated on city property. He said a previous proposal involved using about 10% of the Corps of Engineers' property but its acquisition was very complicated and an alternate proposal was developed by the architect. Mr. Dykema said this expansion will approximately double the size of the current art museum and will create a new entrance in addition to the existing front entrance, as well as a rearrangement of the parking lot. He said the designers have been working with the architects of the convention center expansion project to coordinate their efforts. He said the art museum's design will accommodate a circular drive if one is built but it is not in the art museum's budget. Mr. Dykema said their fund raising goal is approximately $6 million ($5 million for the addition and $1 million as an endowment to continue its maintenance), adding that they are looking forward to the continued support of the city through the annual $200,000 allocation. Mayor Neal said this proposal will be a great addition to the city's bayfront. Mr. Dykema said the expansion will include a new gallery with natural lighting. The second presentation (Item 15) was the strategy for improved animal euthanasia/control practices. City Manager Garcia said this issue was raised by concerned citizens and staffhas been meeting with them to develop this proposal. Mr. Mark McDaniel, Director of Management and Budget, explained that currently the Health Department primarily uses carbon monoxide gas to euthanize approximately 15,000 animals per year. He said staff uses lethal injection for animals under three weeks of age and ill and injured animals in the field. He said the city does not have a significant public education effort because all the resources in this area are dedicated to collecting and handling the animals. Minutes - Regular Council Meeting October 23, 2001 Page 6 Mr. McDaniel said that staff is recommending the following program improvements: broaden the use of lethal injection to include animals under four months of age and hire a public education specialist to increase awareness of the unwanted animal population problem and promote spaying, neutering and adopting of animals. He explained that the American Veterinary Association's guidelines promote the use of lethal injection rather than carbon monoxide gas for cats and dogs under four months of age (as determined by the presence of adult canine teeth at least half extended). He said the public education specialist will be responsible for building community parmerships, developing a network of support, increasing public relations efforts, and applying for grant funding. The Budget Director said the cost to implement the enhancements beginning January 1, 2002 is approximately $25,000, which includes $2,000 for the broadened use of lethal injection and $23,000 for the public education program ($19,775 for the educator; $1,225 for mileage; and $2,000 for educational materials). Funding through the end of this fiscal year (July 31, 2002) will be provided through salary savings identified in other Health Department divisions. Responding to Mayor Neal, Dr. Nina Sisley, Director of Public Health, explained that citizens had expressed concern that animals older than three weeks being euthanized in a chamber would not die instantly--that they would suffer unnecessarily. She said with the use of lethal injection the animal dies immediately. Mr. Garcia said that during staff's meetings with concerned citizens, staff emphasized the magnitude of the unwanted pet population. He said they all came to the conclusion that the root cause of the problem is a lack of education about responsible pet ownership. He said the city had a public education staff member but that position was cut several years ago due to budget constraints. Council Member Scott said he and probably the other Council members had received several phone calls from concerued citizens about this issue. He thanked those citizens and staff for their efforts to improve this process. Mayor Neal said there was Council consensus for staff to proceed. Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 16, HEB Tennis Center expansion. Mr. Steve Denton, who has been associated with the center for many years and the tennis coach of Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, explained that the Corpus Christi Tennis Association has raised approximately $1.4 million for the project. He said the architects are Richter & Associates and the organizers anticipate being able to break ground in the near future with a 210-day construction schedule. Mr. Denton noted that some funds have been used to upgrade the center. The expansion will include three covered courts with a new stadium, new locker rooms and new restrooms. The Mayor thanked Mr. Denton for his leadership over the years. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows: 16.a. ORDINANCE NO, 024643 Ordinance appropriating $8,000 from HEB Trust Fund interest earnings for the HEB Tennis Center Trust for the HEB Tennis Center expansion, Mildred and Lloyd Sessions Tennis Minutes - Regular Council Meeting October 23, 2001 Page 7 Pavilion; amending the FY2001-2002 Budget, adopted by Ordinance No. 024528, by adding $8,000 to Trust Fund No. 6010. An emergency was declared and the foregoing ordinance passed as follows: Neal, Garrett, Kelly, Kinnison, Longoria, Noyola, and Scott voting "Aye"; Chesney and Colmenero absent. 16.b. M2001-405 Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute a project management agreement with the Corpus Christi Tennis Association Inc. for the HEB Tennis Center expansion (Mildred and Lloyd Sessions Tennis Pavilion), and authorizing a transfer of $340,000 from the HEB Tennis Center Trust Fund and $246,138.50 from the No. 3288 Park Capital Project Fund; subject to ratification of the agreement by the Corpus Christi Tennis Association Board of Directors. The foregoing motion passed by the following vote: Neal, Garrett, Kelly, Kinnison, Longoria, Noyola, and Scott voting "Aye"; Chesney and Colmenero absent. Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 17, taxation of leased motor vehicles. He called for comments from the audience. Mr. Jon Buquet, Executive Director of the Coastal Bend New Car Dealers Association, introduced Mr. Phil Cates, a member of the Texas Chapter of the Leasing Association. Mr. Buquet said that Senate Bill 248 (which enacted the constitutional amendment exempting leased motor vehicles from taxation if they are for personal use) was originally drafted as a business tax; he said it was not intended to tax families who are leasing a vehicle. *Council Member Colmenero arrived at 2:40 p.m. Mr. Buquet said that Texas was one of the few states that charged properly tax on leased personal vehicles. He said the association questions why a personal property tax should be paid on a leased vehicle when it is not paid on a purchased vehicle. He added that leasing has become more practical for Texas families because of the different financing mechanisms. With regard to SB 248, Mr. Cates said the City of Houston requested that municipalities be allowed to opt out of the legislation, thereby continuing to collect ad valorem taxes on leased vehicles. He said if cities choose to opt out, the result will be that leasing companies will relocate to outside a city's limits. He noted that all current leases will continue to pay the tax--it will only affect those entered into on or after January 2, 2001. Responding to Mayor Neal, Mr. McDaniel said the tax appraisal district does not know which leases are for business use and which are for personal use. As a result, the impact of SB 248 on cities Minutes - Regular Council Meeting October 23, 2001 Page 8 is not clear. He said the city's estimated financial impact assumed that about 45% of the total number of leased vehicles would be used for personal reasons; however, the car industry says that the statewide average is closer to 60% for personal use. He said the estimated revenue loss of $245,000 is conservative and it could be higher. He said the figures were provided by the appraisal district, which was unable to provide additional detail. Consequently, the district will have to develop forms to distinguish between personal and business leased vehicles. Mr. McDaniel said staffbelieves there is a strong likelihood that the Texas Legislature will make this exemption permanent during its next session in 2003. He said since the city is careful about not compromising any of its revenue stream and since there am still many unknowns about the financial impact, staff is recommending that the city opt out of SB 248 at this time. Mr. McDaniel said the district's appraisals will not affect the city's FY 2001-02 budget but it will affect the FY 2002-03 budget. He said the city has until December 31, 2001 to opt out if it chooses. Mr. Buquet agreed that the appraisal district does not know exactly how many vehicles are leased for personal versus business reasons. Council Member Scott asked what is the estimated price for a leased car. Mr. Cares said it is at least $20,000 although it is probably higher. He said the comptroller is developing a form for companies which provide leased vehicles. The form contains an oath that the lessee will have to sign and have notarized if the lease is for personal use. He added that if a person claims a business deduction for a leased vehicle on his federal income tax tatum, he will still have to pay the personal property tax. Mr. Cates said there are 88 taxing entities in Travis County alone and no two of those collect the tax equally. Council Member Colmenero asked how many vehicles are leased each year in the city limits. Mr. Buquet said it would take time for him to ascertain that infbrmation. Mr. McDaniel said based on the information staff has, they are estimating the number to be 4~250 vehicles. He said people in Texas do not lease very many vehicles and the Texas Municipal League feels that removing the tax will not significantly increase the number of vehicles that are leased. Council Member Kelly asked if a person leasing a car would have to pay a sales tax in addition to the ad valorem tax, and Mr. McDaniel replied affirmatively. He noted that when a person buys a new car, the city does not receive any of the sales tax. He added that staff's estimates include the sales tax amount that could result from a possible increase in leased vehicles. Responding to Council Member Kinnison, Mr. McDaniel said that in order for the city to break even, an additional 4,533 vehicles would have to be leased. Mr. Kinnison asked if the car industry had any information to back up their contention that the tax exemption would have an impact on the number of leases. Mr. Buquet said the Leasing Association and the Car Dealers Association both feel that balloon notes make leasing more available to families. Mr. J.E. O'Brien, 4130 Pompano, said the figure of $245,000 in lost revenue is very unclear. He questioned whether it includes all leased vehicles or only those used for personal reasons. He said a portion of the proposed ordinance is incorrect. Minutes - Regular Council Meeting October 23,2001 Page 9 Mr. Jack Gordy, 310 Norton St., said once a person receives a car allowance, he has to pay ad valorem tax on his leased vehicle. He said much of the data from the appraisal district was unclear and staff has not provided sufficient information on this issue. In reply to Mayor Neal, City Attorney Bray said the proposed ordinance includes an accurate summary of SB 248. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows: 17. FAILED The foregoing ordinance failed to pass on second reading by the following vote: Kinnison and Longoria voting "Aye"; Neal, Colmenero, Garrett, Kelly, Noyola, and Scott voting "No"; Chesney absent. Mayor Neal asked what the next step will be. City Manager Garcia mptied that staffwill have to bring back some recommendations on how to make up the projected revenue shortfall. The Mayor said one of the reasons he voted "No" is because this does not impact the city's current budget and staff has time to prepare another proposal. Mayor Neal called for the City Manager's report. Mr. Garcia said one of the new staff positions that was approved in the last budget was for a Strategic Water Advisor to address the long- range planning of the city's water resources. Mr. Ron Massey, Assistant City Manager for Public Works and Utilities, introduced Mr. Max Castefieda, who previously worked for the Texas Water Development Board in Austin. Mr. Castefieda spoke positively about his new position. Mayor Neal called for petitions from the audience. Mr. Phil Rosenstein said most of Mr. Gordy's remarks about signs are false and misleading and he feels those remarks are a harassment of political candidates. Mr. Rosenstein said he questioned Mr. Gordy about his remarks and was told that he could see the signs from the freeway but they were not actually in the freeway right-of-way (which is illegal). Mr. Rosenstein said most of the political signs are on private property and Mr. Gordy is carrying out a personal vendetta against political candidates who erect signs. There being no further business to come before the Council, Mayor Neal adjoumed the Council meeting at 3:15 p.m. on October 23, 2001. 2 AGENDA MEMORANDUM DATE: October 16, 2001 SUBJECT: Oso Wastewater Treatment Plant Replacement of 12kV Switchgear (Project No. 7218) AGENDA ITEM: Motion authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to execute a construction contract with CW Campbell in the amount of $63,752 for the Oso Wastewater Treatment Plant Replacement of 12kV Switchgear. iSSUE: The Oso Wastewater Treatment Plant operates on an electrical system. Two (2) sets of electrical switchgear are old, unreliable, and are in very poor condition. Continued use of the electrical switchgear poses a serious reliability risk to the City of Corpus Christi. Replacement of the electrical switchgear is required for optimal Plant operations. FUNDING: Funds for this project are available from the FY 2000-2001 Wastewater Capital Improvements Budget.

May 16, 2001 - Executed a Small NE Agreement for ArchitectJEngineer Consultant Services in the amount of $13,800 with Colwell & Associates, Inc. PROJECT BACKGROUND: The Oso Wastewater Treatment Plant operates on an electrical system upgraded in 1979 during plant expansion. The City owns, operates and maintains two (2) 12.47 kV electrical site distribution facilities, which include high voltage switching equipment. After coping with several reliability issues with the system, in November 2000 the City contracted with an electrical engineering company to assess the complete 12.47 kV system. Following an engineering field evaluation, the two (2) sets of switchgear were found to be in very poor condition, and continued use of the system poses a serious reliability risk to plant operations. Immediate replacement of the two (2) sets of switchgear is identified as high priority, to continue with uninterrupted plant operation. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project will replace two {2) sets of 12.47 kV electrical switchgear, while reusing the existing foundations and electrical conductors. This will constitute the first of several phases to upgrade the high-voltage distribution system at the Oso Wastewater Treatment Plant. The project includes demolition and installation of electrical equipment in accordance with the plans, specifications, and contract documents. BID INFORMATION: The project consists of a lump sum Base Bid; and the City received proposals from six (6) bidders on October 10, 2001. See Exhibit "C" Bid Tabulation. The bids range from $63,752 to $80,000. The Engineer's estimated construction cost for the project is $90,000. The Bid Proposal submitted by Knight Electric of Fort Worth, Texas was not correctly executed and is therefore considered as a Non-Responsive Bid. The City's consultant, ColweLl & Associates, Inc., and City staff recommend that based on Iow bid and past satisfactory experience, the Base Bid be awarded in the amount of $63,752 to CW Campbell Electric of Corpus Christi, Texas for the replacement of the 12kV Switchgear located at Oso Wastewater Treatment Plant.

Motion approving the reimbursement application submitted by Mr. Greg Voisin, President, So-San Corporation, for the installation of 646 linear feet of a 12-inch PVC water grid main. ISSUE: The So-San Corporation has completed construction of public improvements required to plat Victoria Park Unit 5 and is requesting reimbursement of the installation of a water grid main within the Oso Parkway right-of-way along the south edge of the subdivision in accordance with the Platting Ordinance. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the motion and ordinance as presented, f' 'A~g'el R. Escobar, P.E. Director of Engineering Services ATTACHMENTS: Exhibit A. Exhibit B Exhibit C Background Information Location Map Reimbursement Application AGENDA MEMORANDUM ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION BACKGROUND: The development and platting of Victoria Park Unit 5 Subdivision required an extension of 646 linear feet of a 12-inch PVC water line within the dedicated public right-of-way of Oso Parkway which traverses the south edge of the subdivision. The water line ties to the existing 8-inch water line previously installed by the development of Victoria Park Unit 4 which abuts the Unit 5 development on the west. The location of the waterline improvement is shown on Exhibit B - Location Map. The 12-inch water line is required by the City's Distribution System Master Plan and is eligible for reimbursement as a water grid main in accordance with the Platting Ordinance. The waterline construction qualified for a reimbursement of $21,754.78. An acreage fee credit of $9,438.00 was granted. Because So-San Corporation paid the fee credit, the final reimbursable amount due the developer is the full $21,754.78.

BRAY, JR., CITY ATTORNEY By: Lisa Aguilar, A~fi~stant City Attorney LOA\ord3.447 7 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMORANDUM October 23, 2001 AGENDA ITEM: Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute an annual joint funding agreement with the United States Geological Survey (USGS), U. S. Department of the Interior, for the continuation of surface water data collection and limited studies by the USGS for the City's water supply activity; and providing for the City to pay the USGS the amount $147,685, out of a total project cost of $206,460 during the federal fiscal year October 1, 2001 through September 30, 2002. ISSUE: The United States Geological Survey (USGS) established automated river gauging stations to gather and maintain accurate records of all inflows and releases in the water reservoir system. In order to continue with the annual watershed gauging program, an annual joint funding agreement between the City and the USGS is necessary. FUNDING: Funds are budgeted in the Wesley Seale Dam (5300004010-30200) and Choke Canyon Reservoir (530000-4010-30210) activities of the Water Fund for a total available of $147,685. RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute the agreement. Eduardo Garafia, P.E. Water Superintendem AGENDA MEMORANDUM ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION In 1981, the City requested the United States Geological Survey (USGS) to establish automated river gauging stations to gather and maintain accurate records of all inflows and releases in the water reservoir system. This was necessary to comply with Texas Water Rights Permit No. 3358, which required that specified releases from the reservoir system be made to the bays and estuaries. The initial joint funding agreement was approved by the City Council in 1984, and it provides funds for Geological Survey operations on the Nueces, Ffio and Atascosa rivers and tributaries, and at Lake Corpus Christi and Choke Canyon Reservoir. The USGS maintains all equipment, i.e. stream flow stations, data collection platforms, rain gauges, and analyzes the data gathered to provide gauge height readings, discharge readings, and reservoir content information. The City funds a portion of the operational costs of the stream flow and full service data collection platforms and the full cost of rain gauges and surface discharge gauges below the two dams. The National Weather Service also uses the data collected to predict floods. When fully implemented in 1984, the program included thirteen stations; additional stations have been added since bringing the total to seventeen. Additional water quality monitoring points have also been added the last several years. This year's program adds a redundant gage at the Nueces River at Calallen. Accuracy of this gage is crucial since it measures the official pass-through of water to meet the bay and estuary requirements established in the TNRCC Agreed Order. A gain-loss survey between Mathis and Bluntzer has also been added for periods of low flows. The costs of data collection platforms and stream flow stations are shared by the USGS and the City of Corpus Christi, with the costs of other services borne entirely by the City. Funds are budgeted each year in the Water Department operating budget for the City's share of the joint funding. Funds are budgeted in the Wesley Seale Dam (5300004010-30200) and Choke Canyon Reservoir (530000- 4010-30210) activities of the Water Fund for a total available of $147,685.

Funding is authorized in the FY 01-02 budget. ISSUE: Annually funds are allocated for Arts & Cultural Projects. The Arts & Cultural Commission make recommendations for allocation of these funds. The Arts Grant guidelines require City Council approval of all grant awards. The Arts and Cultural Commission's recommendation on funding for local art organizations includes a total of 16 grant awards. FUNDING: The total recommended allocation is $101,000 to be funded from the FY 2001-02 budget authorization for arts in the Hotel Occupancy Tax Fund and the General Fund for Arts Subgranting. PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: $126,500 from the Hotel Occupancy Tax Fund and the General Fund was authorized in the FY 2001-2002 budget for arts projects. The members of the 2001 Ad Hoc Peer Panel were approved by City Council motion on July 24, 2001. BOARD/COMMITTEE REVIEW: The Arts & Cultural Commission approved the recommendation to the City Council at their September 13, 2001, Commission meeting. REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Allocation of the Arts Projects fund and the award of the art subgrant allocations to the arts organizations must be approved by the City Council. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that $60,472 from the Hotel Occupancy Tax Fund and $40,528 from the General fund be used to fund $101,000 for a total of 16 arts and cultural organizations for FY 01-02. Funding is authorized in the FY 01-02 budget. Marco A. Cisneros, Park & Recreation Department ADDITIONAL SUPPORT MATERIAL Background information X Subgrant Spreadsheet X AGENDA MEMORANDUM ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION BACKGROUND: Annually, the City Council includes funding in the operating budget for support to various arts programs in the City. The Arts & Cultural Commission (formerly the Municipal Arts Commission) solicits requests from local organizations and then makes a recommendation of funding to the City Council. The recommendation for FY 01-02 is based on the review of grant applications by an Ad Hoc Peer Panel consisting of 16 members from different art disciplines which were approved by the City Council. Their recommendations were based on artistic merit, community needs, impact on tourism and the applying organization's ability to match the grant, which is 50% of the total project award. A project selection procedure, the Arts Subgrant Guidelines, was developed in 1986 modeled after the Texas Commission on the Arts Peer Panel Review and has been updated regularly since. The process uses a worksheet rating system that addresses specific questions on the quality of each grant request. The final recommendation is adjusted mathematically to the amount of funds available. Applicants had the option to apply for an organizational grant or a project grant. An organizational grant funds all projects within a calendar year and a project grant funds individual projects of an organization. This year, 23 grant requests totaling $179,950, were received from 16 arts organizations. The ACC is recommending that 23 grant requests from 16 arts and cultural organizations be funded at $101,000. The Arts Subgrant Guidelines define a process that provides an organization with two opportunities to appeal their recommended level of funding - first with the ACC and then with the City Council. This year there were no appeals to the ACC. No organizations were denied funding through the Hotel Occupancy Fund guidelines for the fiscal year. The Park & Recreation staff met with the local Hotel/Motel Association president, Dave Pruitt, to discuss the grant applicant's eligibility. The only project he felt was not eligible was the Harbor Playhouse, but if they would provide a statement at the end of the season that showed out of town attendees, it would be ok. The Selection Peer Panel also had representation from the Hotel/Motel Association. The total allocation recommended by the Arts & Cultural Commission to the arts organizations is $101,000 for art subgrants (Attachment A). CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMORANDUM Date: October 23, 2001 AGENDA ITEM: A. Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to accept a grant in the amount of $468,750 from the U. S. Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services for funding eligible under the COPS MORE 2001 program and to execute all related documents. B. Ordinance appropriating $468,750 from the U. S. Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services in the No. 1050 State and Federal Grant Fund to purchase mobile computing units, personal computers, crime analysis software and video imaging software for the Police Department; authorizing the transfer of $156,250 from the No. 6010 Law Enforcement Trust Fund to, and appropriating $156,250 in the No. 1050 State and Federal Grant Fund as the grant match. ISSUE: The City of Corpus Christi has been approved for funding under the COPS MORE (Making Officer Redeployment Effective) 2001 program for the pumhase of information technology systems. The funding enables law enforcement agencies to expand the time available for community policing by existing law enforcement officers, rather than fund the hiring of additional sworn personnel. FUNDING: As with previous grants, the Law Enforcement Trust Fund will provide the 25% matching funds, $156,250. REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Approval to accept the grant award and appropriate the funds. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends accepting the grant and appropriating the funds. ADDITIONAL SUPPORT MATER~L Background Information Award Letter AGENDA MEMORANDUM ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The purpose of COPS MORE 2001 is to help law enforcement agencies become more efficient by providing funding for new technology/equipment that will allow officers to spend more time engaged in community policing activities. We must show that officer redeplo~vrnent or fimesavings is a direct result of the items pumhased - the pumhasing of technology/equipment must be directly equated to an actual enhancement. Grants awarded must support community policing and must clearly link the funds sought to an increased community policing presence. The Police DeparUnent proposed a project deemed "MDC Il - Managing Crime with Technology". The approved funds will build on the existing Mobile Data Computer (MDC)/Automated Vehicle Location System (AVLS) technology partially funded through the1996 COPS MORE grant ($ 1.6 million). The edditional technology will enhance the tools available to both field officers as well as investigators through laptop computers and additional software modules. The purchase of 77 laptop computers for assignment to investigatix e personnel for use in the field as well as at their desk xxill prox idc these officers access to the following: · Wireless Field reporting: investigators will have the capability to enter their offense or supplementary reports from the field or their desk. Currently patrol officers are entering their offense reports from their units. · Crime Mapping: Officers can access crime data for their assigned patrol area via the laptop computer. They software will provide a map showing reported offenses and calls for service for any area and time frame the officers request. By obtaining data about the nature of crimes oceurrmg within their beat, officers can take proactive steps to curtail criminal activity. Investigators can query the system looking for similar offenses to current cases. · Video Imaging: Funds will extend the video imaging system to officers in the riel& providing access to a black and white photo via the laptop computer each time the3' make a name inquky on an individual. Thc backbone for the system (funded by the Crime Control and Prevention District) is in place and training is underway for access to mug shots by investigative personnel. · Training modules: by providing a computer lab. interactive in-service training will be available for officers. Officers are required to have 20 hours of in-service training each year, and we anticipate these interactive modules will save the department 50% in officers time spent in training, as well as decreasing the amount of out of City training, costs to department personnel for training, and costs associated with changing employee's schedules. Modules include CPR and driving simulation software. With this hardware and software, field officers will have an additional tool for proactive policing through crime mapping, additional time for community policing through reduced in-sen,ice training ttme, and additional tools to improve their response to the investigation of crime with the improved flow and use of information.

Additionally, ATM's for City Hall and Municipal Court have been requested on an ongoing basis. In light of these requests, and to enhance customer service, the City requested proposals for ATM services for the Coliseum, City Hall, and Municipal Court. The City received four local proposals, which were reviewed by a panel consisting of City Treasurer, Investment Analyst, Procurement & General Services Manager, and Assistant City Attorney. After the review, the panel determined that the proposal received from the City Employees Credit Union offered the most cost effective solution for the City and our customers. The Credit Union is interested in offering additional banking locations to their customers and anticipates that these three locations will enhance their exposure throughout the City. The Credit Union anticipates expanding their customer base by adding additional ATMs and can display current promotions on the ATM's City staff is recommending the agreements with the City Employees Credit Union to install ATM's at the Coliseum, Municipal Court, and City Hall.

LOA\ord3.452 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMORANDUM October 24, 2001 AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance extending the Bayfront Plaza Convention Center and Memorial Coliseum Concessionaire Agreement with Noble Food Service, Inc. for a period of one year (January 1, 2002 to January 1, 2003). ISSUE: The one year Concessionaire Agreement with Noble Food Service, Inc. will expire at 3:00 AM on January I, 2002. We need to act at this time to insure continuity of service while we plan for the expansion of the Bayfront Plaza Convention Center. BACKGROUND: We are currently in the process of designing the expansion and renovation of the Bayfront Plaza Convention Center. The design architect will need several months to finish designing the expansion and to prepare the bid documents for the construction phase. We anticipate the expansion and renovation of the Bayfi'ont Plaza Convention Center will significantly affect the concession operation. Therefore, we need the extension in order to be able to provide prospective bidders with accurate information concerning the facility and to determine the equipment and improvements the new concessionaire will be required to provide under the new long-term contract. In addition, the new arena, which is also being designed, will be attached to the convention center. We would like to be able to have one food service company operate the concessions for both facilities. Noble Food Service, Inc. has operated the concessions at the Bayfront Plaza Convention Center and Memorial Coliseum for approximately 16 years and has done a good job. They have agreed to extend their existing agreement at the same terms for an additional twelve months. The percentage of gross receipts they pay to the City is fair, and it would be in the best interest of the City and our customers to allow them to continue their operation until we are ready to go out for a long-term contract. ALTERNATIVE: Direct staffto go out for bids at this time on a new five-year Concessionaire Agreement. LEASE AGREEMENT SUMMARY October 24, 2001 PARTIES INVOLVED: The City of Corpus Christi and Noble Food Service, Inc.

Noble Food Service, Inc. will pay the City 10% of sales on all catering. PRICE AND QUALITY OF MERCHANDISE: As a general policy, prices of concession items will not be higher than those charged for the same quality merchandise at comparable facilities elsewhere. All prices must be approved in advance by the Director of Convention Facilities, or his designee.

Zoning History of Property: There has been no rezoning activity within the past five (5) years. Recent Surrounding Zoning Cases: There has been no surrounding rezoning activity within the past five (5) years. Zoning Inventory: The subject property is 2,427.99 acres of land zoned an "F-R" District, "R-lB" District and "1-2" District. The "F-R" District extends south, east and west from the subject property and is predominantly used as farmland. The "R-I B' District contains several small tracts of land that are also being used as farmland. The "I-2' District extends north across Agnes Street where some industrial uses exist surrounded by more farmland. Within the subject property, the City of Corpus Christi's Airport operates and contains the following facilities: aircraft terminals, runways, and air traffic control tower. Other facilities within the subject property are a computer chip manufacturer, aircraft hangers and car rental agency. Planning Staff Analysis: General Characteristics and Backm-ound: The City is requesting a change of zoning from an "F-R" Farm-Rural District, "R-1B' One-family Dwelling District, and "I-2" Light Industrial District to an "I-3' Heavy Industrial District in order to bring the Airport into compliance with the City's zoning regulations and to foster the City's ongoing efforts to promote economic development by private sector uses that are consistent with airport operations. Although the requested "I-3" District does permit uses considered inconsistent with airport operations, the Airport Hazard Map and regulations in place will continue to protect the facility from such uses. The prohibited uses are characterized as those uses that may interfere with navigation instruments (electronic) or create excessive glare. Conformity to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Compatibility: Overall, the Comprehensive Plan Elements can be supportive of the requested "I-3" District due to its direct access to an tater/al without traversing a residential area. The Port/Airport/Violet Area Development Plan's adopted future land use map recommends the area to develop with airport related uses. The requested "I-3" District is consistent with the Plan's recommended land use. Zoning Report Case No. 1001-07 (City of Corpus Christi) Page 4 Potential Housin~ Density: Both the "F-R" and "R-IB" Districts permit residential development which is not consistent with airport operations. The "I-2" and "I-3" Disthct do not permit permanent or temporary, housing or lodging, except for caretaker's quarters. Residential uses are noise-sensitive uses that are not appropriate in proximity to an airport. Height/Bulk/Setbacks/Etc.: An "F-R" District does require any front, side, or rear yard setbacks. The "R-lB" District requires a front yard setback of 25 feet and a side and rear yard of five (5) feet each. Both the "I-2" and "I-3" Districts require a front yard setback of twenty (20) feet and no side or rear yard 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 "R-lB" District are limited to a height of 35 feet not to exceed three (3) stories. The "F-R", "I-2", and "I-3" Districts do not limit the building heights. Signaae: Signs in the "R-lB" District are limited to one wall sign with an area not to exceed one square foot. The "I-2" and "I-Y' Districts permit unlimited wall and freestanding signs provided they are located behind the front yard setback. If a freestanding sign is located within the front yard setback, the property is allowed one freestanding sign in the setback area per street frontage with an area not to exceed forty (40) square feet and a height of 25 feet. The "I-2" and "I-3" Districts also permit off-premise signs (billboards). Traffic: The subject property has direct access to a limited access expressway designed to accommodate large volumes of traffic. With the surrounding properties being used as farmland and the Port/Airport/Violet Area Development Plan recommending the area develop with industrial uses, approval of the requested "I-3" District will not adversely impact the area. Parking/Screening: There are no off-street requirements for an airport use. 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 wherever the subject property abuts "F-R" or "R-1B" Districts. · Costs to City: Since the airport is a City facility, any improvement xvill require City funds. Plattine: The bulk of the subject property remains unplatted. When development occurs in the unplatted area, a plat will be required. Pros: (Ideas in support of the request.) a) The subject property has direct access to an expressway without traversing a residential area. b) Continued development of the airport is consistent City policies for the growth of the City. c) The requested "I-3" District is consistent with the adopted Port/Airport/Violet Area Development Plan. Zoning Report Case No. 1001-07 (City of Corpus Christi) Page 5 Cons: (Ideas in support of maintaining the current zoning.) a) None. Staff Recommendation: Attachments: Approval.

"R-lB" One-family Dwelling District, and "1-2" Light Industrial District to "I-3" Light Industrial District on property described as being 2,427.99 acres out of the J. C. Russell Farm Blocks and the Margaret Kelly Farm Tract, generally bound by Agnes Street (State Highway 44), Joe Mireur Road (F. M. 763), McGloin Road and Buckholt Road. Mr. Saldafia presented a computerized slide presentation of the subject property and the surrounding area. The subject property, is 2,427.99 acres of land zoned an "F-R" District, "R-lB" District and "1-2" District. The "F-R" District extends south, east and west fi.om the subject property and is predominantly used as farmland. The "R-lB" District contains several small tracts of land that are also being used as farmland. The "1-2" District extends north across Agnes Street where some industrial uses exist surrounded by more farmland. Within the subject property, the City of Corpus Christi's Airport operates and contains the following facilities: aircraft terminals, runways, and air traffic control tower. Other facilities within the subject property are a computer chip manufacturer, aircraft hangers and car rental agency. Mr. Saldafla said that the City is requesting a change of zoning fi'om an "F-R" Farm-Rural District, "R-lB" One-family Dwelling District, and "1-2" Light Industrial District to an "1-3" Heavy Industrial District in order to bring the Airport into compliance with the City's zoning regulations and to foster the City's ongoing efforts to promote economic development by private sector uses that are consistent with airport operations. Although the requested "I-3" District does permit uses considered inconsistent with airport operations, the Airport Hazard Map and regulations in place will continue to protect the facility fi.om such uses. The prohibited uses are characterized as those uses that may interfere with navigation instruments (electronic) or create excessive glare. Mr. Saldafla said that Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request. In response to Chairman Berlanga's question, Mr. Saldafla said that the airport representatives requested an "I-3" District zoning because "I-3" District specifically allows airport uses. He added that the subject property will remain the property of the City of Corpus Christi and would not be eligible for uses such as sexually oriented businesses. Chairman Berlanga opened the public hearing. Dave Hamerick, Director of Aviation, representing the airport was present for questions. Public hearing was closed. Motion by Mims, seconded by Amsler, to forward a recommendation for approval of the rezoning request. Motion passed with Pusley, Salazar, Smith, and Sween-McGIoin being absent.

We are taking every possible measure to assure the safety of all. We are working tirelessly to keep the mail moving and to keep customers and our employees safe and secure. Kewvord/Sea rch ~ America's postal employees have done an outstanding job of keeping the mail moving since Sept 11. We have delivered more than 20 billion pieces of mail since the tragedy. It's important to remember that these are isolated incidents. ~ While we are taking every possible precaution, we undemtand the importance of America's mail to its people and its economy and we will continue to deliver it. ~ We are coordinating our efforts with the FBI and the Department of Health and Human Services. Our Chief Postal Inspector is working with the mailing industry to strengthen the security of business mailrooms. We have established a Mail Security Task Force on hazardous biological and chemical materials that will include our unions, management associations, major mailers, and senior postal managers. ~ Now more than ever, Amedca is depending on the Postal Service to keep the mail moving safely and securely. Everyone needs to mobilize common sense in dealing with this unfamiliar situation.

They have raised uncertainty about what might happen next, increasing stress levels. Nevertheless, there are things you can do to prepare for the unexpected and reduce the stress that you may feel now and later should another emergency adse. Taldng preparatory action can reassure you and your children that you can exeR a measure of control even in the face of such What You Can Do to Prepare Finding out what can happen is the first step. Once you have determined the events possible and their potential in your community, it is important that you discuss them with your family or household. Develop a disaster plan together. 1. Create an emergency communications plan. Choose an out-of-town contact your family or household will call or e-mail to check on each other should a disaster occur. Your selected contact should live far enough away that they would be unlikely to be directly affected by the same event, and they should know they are the chosen contact. Make sure every household member has that contact's, and each other's, e-mail addresses and telephone numbers (home1 work, pager and cell). Leave these contact numbers at your children's schools, if you have children, and at your workplace. Your family should know that if telephones are not working, they need to pa patient and try again later or try e-mail. Many people flood the telephone lines when emergendes happen but e-mail can sometimes get through when calls don'[ 2. Establish a meeting place. Having a predetermined meeting place away from your home will save time and minimize confusion should your home be affected or the area evacuated. You may even want to make arrangements to stay with a family member or friend in case of an emergency. Be sure to include any pets in these plans, since pets are not permitted in shelters and some hotels will not accept them. 3, Assemble a disaster supplies kit. If you need to evacuate your home or are asked to "shelter in place," having some essential supplies on hand will make you and your family more comfortable. Prepare a disaster supplies kit in an easy-to-carry container such as a duffel bag or small plastic trash can. Include "special needs" items for any member of your household (infant formula or items for people with disabilities or older people), first aid supplies (including prescription medications), a change of clothing for each household member, a sleeping bag or bedroll for each, a battery powered radio or television and extra batteries, food, boffied water and tools, it is also a good idea to include some cash and copies of important family documents (birth certificates, passports and licenses) in your kit. Copies of essential documents-like powers of attorney, birth and marriage certificates, insurance http://www.redcross.org/services/disaster/keepsafe/unexpected.html 10/25/2001 Red Cross Disaster Counseling Materials Page 2 of 5 policies, life insurance beneficiary designaflons and a copy of your will-should also be kept in a cafe Iocaiton outside your home. A safe deposit box or the home of a friend or family member who lives out of town is a good choice. For more complete instructions, ask your local Red Cross chapter for the brochure titled Your Family Disaster Supplies Kit (stock number A4463). 4. Check on the school emergency plan of any school-age children you may have. You need to know if they will they keep children at school until a parent or designated adult can pick them up or send them home on their own. Be sure that the schobl has updated information about how to reach parents and responsible caregivers to arrange for pickup. And, ask what type of authorization the school may require to retease a child to someone you designate, if you are not able to pick up your child. During times of emergency the school telephones may be overwhelmed with calls. For more information on putting together a disaster plan, request a copy of the brochure rifled Your Family Disaster Plan (A4466) from your local American Red Cross chapter. You may also want to request a copy of Before Disaster Stdkes... How to Make Sure You're Financially Prepared (A5075) for specific information on what you can do now to protect your assets. If Disaster Strikes · Remain calm and be pabent. · Follow the advice of local emergency officials. · Listen to your radio or television for news and instructions. · If the disaster occure near you, check for injuries. Give first aid and get help for seriously injured people. · If the disaster occurs near your home while you am there, check for damage using a flashlight. Do not light matches or candles or rum on electrical switches. Check for rims, tire hazards and other household hazards. Sniff for gas leaks, starting at the water heater. If you smell gas or suspect a leak, turn off the main gas valve, open windows, and get everyone outside quickly. · Shut off any other dameged urilities. · Confine or secure your pets. · Call your family contact--do not use the telephone again unless it is a life-threatening emergency. · Check on your neighbors, especially those who am elderly or disabled. A Word on What Could Happen As we learned from the events of September 11, 2001, the following things can happen after a terrorist attack: · There can be significant oumbers of casuaitias and/or damage to buildings and the infi'astmctum. So employers need up-to-date information about any medical needs you may have and on how to contact your designated beneficiaries. · Heavy law enforcement involvement at local, state and federal levels follows a terrorist attack due to the event's criminal nature. · Health and mental health resources in the affected communities can be strained to their limits, maybe even overwhelmed. · Extensive media coverage, strong public fear and intemarionel implicarions and consequences can continue for a prolonged period. · VVorkplaces and schools may be closed, and there may be restrictions on domesric and international travel. · You and your family or household may have to evacuate an area, avoiding roads blocked for your safety. · Clean-up may take many months. Evacuation If local authorities ask you to leave your home, they have a good reason to make this request, and you should heed the advice immediately. Listen to your radio or television and follow the instructions of local emergency officials and keep these simple tips in mind- http://www, redcross.org/services/disaster/keepsafe/unexpected.html 10/25/2001 Red Cross Disaster Counseling Mater/als Page 3 of 5 1. Wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants and sturdy shoes so you con be protected as much as possible. 2. Take your disaster supplies kit. 3, Take your pets with you; do not leave them behind. Because pets are not permitted in public sheltem, follow your plan to go to a relative's or friend's home, or find a "pet-friendly" hotel 4. Lock your home. 5. Use travel routes specified by Iocol authorities---don't use shortcuts because certain areas may be impassable or dangerous. 6. Stay away from downed power lines. Listen to local authorities. Your local authodtiee will provide you with the most accurate information specific to an event in your araa. Staying tuned to local radio and television, and following their instructions is your safest choice. If you're sure you have time: · Call your family contact to tell them where you are going and when you expect to arrive. · Shut off water and electricity before leaving, if instructed to do so. Leave natural gas service ON unless local officials advise you otherwise. You may need gas for heating and cooking, and only a professional con restore gas sen, ice in your home once it's been turned off. In a disaster situation it could take weeks for a professional to respond. Shelter in place If you are advised by local officials to "shelter in place," what they mean is for you to remain inside your home or office and protect youmetf there. Close and lock all windows and exterior doom. Turn off all fans, heating and air conditioning systems. Close the fireplace damper. Get your disaster supplies kit, and make sure the radio is working. Go to an interior room without windows that's above ground level. In the case of a chemical threat, an above-ground location is preferable because some chemicals are heavier than air, and may seep into basements even if the windows are closed. Using duct tape, seal all cracks around the door and any vents into the room. Keep listaning to your radio or television until you are told all is safe or you are told to evacuate. Locel officials may call for evacuation in specific areas at greatest dsk in your community. Additional Positive Steps You Can Take Raw, unedited footage of terrohsm events and people's reaction to those events can be very upsetting, especially to children. We do not recommend that children watch television news reports about such events, especially if the news reports show images over and over again about the same incident. Young children do not realize that it is repeated video footage, and think the event is happening again and again. Adults may also need to give themselves a break ~Tom watching disturbing footage. However, listening to Iocol radio and television reports will provide you with the most accurate information from responsible governmental authorities on what's happening and what actions you will need to take. So you may want to make some arrangements to take turns listening to the news with other adult members of your household. Another useful preparation includes leaming some basic first aid. To enroll in a first aid and AED/CPR course, contact your Iocol Americon Red Cross chapter. In an emergency situation, you need to tend to your own well-being first and then consider first aid for others immediately around you, including possibly assisting injured people to evacuate a building if necessary. People who may have come into contact with a biological or chemical agent may need to go through a decontamination procedure and receive medical attention. Listen to the advice of local officials on the radio or television to determine what steps you will need to take to protect youmelf and your family. As emergency services will likely be overwhelmed, only call 9-1-1 about life- threatening emergencies. First Aid Primer If you encounter someone who is injured, apply the emergency action steps: Check-Call-Care. Check the scene to make sure it is safe for you to approach. Then check the victim for hllp://www.redcross.org/services/disaster/keepsafe/unexpected.html 10/25/2001 T Red Cross Disaster Counseling Materials Page 4 or- 5 unconsciousness and life-threatening conditions. Someone who has a life-threatening condition, such as not breathing or severe bleeding, requires immediate care by trained responders and may require treatment by medical professionals. Call out for help. There are some steps that you can take, however, to care for someone who is hurt, but whose injuries are not life threatening. Control Bleedin.q · Cover the wound with a dressing, and press firmly against the wound (direct pressure). · Elevate the injured area above the level of the heart if you do not suspect that the victim has a broken bone. · Cover the dressing with a roller bandage. · If the bleeding does not stop: o Apply additional dressings and bandages. o Uso a pressure point to squeeze the artery against the bone. · Provide care for shock. Care for Shock · Keep the victim from getting chilled or overheated. · Elevate the legs about 12 inches (if broken bones are not suspected). · Do not give food or drink to the victim. Tend Bums · Stop the burning by cooling the bum with large amounts of water. · Cover the bum with do/. clean dressings or doth. Care for Injud_e_s to~Mpscles, Bonds_and Joi~t~ · Rest the injured part. · Apply ice or a cold pack to control swelling and reduce pain. · Avoid any movement or activity that causes pain. · if you must move the victim because the scene is becoming unsafe, try to immobilize the injured part to keep it frore moving. Be Aware of Biological~Ra_diolO~g~cal Exposure · I isten to local radio and television reports for the most accurete information from responsible governmental and medical authorities on what's happening and what actions you will need to take. The Web sites referenced at the end of this brochure can give you more information on how to protect yourself from exposure to biological or radiological hazards. Reduce Any Care Risks The risk of getting a disease while giving first aid is extremely rare. However, to reduce the risk even further: · Avoid direct contact with blood and other body fluids. · Uso protective equipment, such as disposable gloves and breathing barriers. · Thoroughly wash your hands with soap and water immediately after giving care. It is important to be prepared for an emergency and to know how to give emergency care. More Information All of these recommendations make good sense, regardless of the potential problem.

Close and lock windows and doors. Seal gaps under doorways and windows with wet towels and duct tape. Seal gaps around window and air conditioning units, bathroom and kitchen exhaust fans, and stove and dryer vents with duct tape and plastic sheeting, wax paper or aluminum wrap. Ctose fireplace dampers. Close off nonessential rooms such as storage areas, laundry rooms and extra bedrooms. Turn off ventilation systems. Install smoke detectors (check them once a month and change the batteries at least twice a year). Hake sure all family members know what to do in a fire. Draw a floor plan with at least two ways of escaping every room and practice twice a year. Choose a safe meeting place outside the house. Call 911 from outside the house immediately. Learn to Stop, Drop, and Roll if clothes catch fire. Use the stairs (not elevators) to escape. If possible, cover mouth with a cloth to avoid inhaling smoke and gases. Close doors in each room after escaping to delay the spread of the fire. DURING A FLOOD · Indoors -Turn on battery-operated radio or television to get the latest emergency information. Get your pre-assembled emergency supplies. If told by the authorities to leave, do so immediately. · Outdoors -Climb to high ground and stay there. Avoid walking through any floodwaters. If it is moving swiftly, even water 6 inches deep can sweep you off your feet. · In a car -If you come to a flooded area, turn around and use an alternate route. If your car stalls, abandon it immediately and climb to higher ground. Many deaths have resulted from attempts to move stalled vehicles. HAZARDOUS MATERIAL ACCIDENT If caught at the scene of an accident -Hove away from the accident scene and help keep others away. Do not walk into or touch any of the spilled substance. Try not to inhale gases, fumes and smoke. If possible, cover mouth with a cloth while leaving the area. Stay away from accident victims until authorities have identified the hazardous materials as safe. Try to stay upstream, uphill and upwind of the accident. EVACUATION · Authorities will determine if evacuation is necessary based on the type and duration of the incident. Other considerations are the length of time it should take to evacuate the area, weather conditions, and the time of day. · If evacuated: Stay tuned to a radio or television for information on evacuation routes, temporary shelters, and other procedures. Follow the routes recommended by the authorities--shortcuts may not be safe. · Take pre-assembled emergency supplies. · Remember to help your neighbors who may require special assistance such as http://www.ci~c~rpus~christi~tx.us/serv~ces/eme~gmgmt/Eme~gency%2~P~anr~ng/genera~i~.~ 10/23/2001 General Information on Emergencies Page 3 of 3 infants, elderly people and people with disabilities. · Plan to take your pets with you; do not leave them behind.

Most terrorist incidents in the United States have been bombing attacks, involving detonated and undetonated explo- sive devices, tear gas and pipe and fire bombs. 2. The effects of terrorism can vary significantly fi'om loss of life and injuries to pmpeay damage and disruptions in services such as electricity, water supply, public transportation and communications. 3. One way governments attempt to reduce our vulnerability to terrorist incidents is by increasing security at airports and other public facilities. The U.S. government also works with other counuSes to limit the sources of support for terrerism. 15- 10- 5 From 1983 to 1991, the Federal Bureau of Investigation ideatified 101 terror~ inddeats in the United Slates. Terrorism is the use offorce or violence against persons or property in violation of the criminal laws of the United States for purposes of intimidation, coercion or ransom. Terrorists often use threats to create fear among the public, to try to convince citizens that their govern- ment is powerless to prevent terror- ism, and to get immediate publicity for their ca uses. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) categorizes terrorism in the United States as one of two O~pes -- domestic terrorism or international Ootn~ terrorism involves groups or individuals whose terrorist activities are directed at elements of our government or popalation without foreign direction. lnternational terrorism involves groups or individuals whose terrorist activities are foreign-hased and/or directed by countries or groups outside the United States or whose activities transcend national boundaries.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMORANDUM October 25, 2001 AGENDA ITEM: Resolution authorizing the City Manager or his designee to sign an Electric Supply Agreement with the winning bidder for the electric load of the South Texas Aggregation Project, Inc. (STAP) upon confirmation of economic benefit to the City. PRESENTER(S): 1. Mark L. McDaniel, Director, Office of Management & Budget 2. Geoffrey Gay, Legal Counsel, STAP ISSUE: STAP is very pleased with the development of coordinated member efforts to date, and with the interest of the soon to be deregulated electric marketplace in meeting STAP members' energy needs. A request for qualifications was sent to 79 parties, and the STAP Board qualified twelve potential bidders. After a follow up request for proposals, six bids were received from financially secure electric providers. Because the lowest price quote may not necessarily produce the greatest savings over time due to contract terms and conditions, negotiations are currently underway with several bidders. STAP remains committed to a demonstration of economic savings to each member. If this cannot be proven, each individual member has the right to reject participation in the STAP contract. After reviewing the summarization and comparison of confidential bids, the STAP Board remains optimistic about the economic benefits of aggregation, both in the near and long term. Terms, conditions and pricing are not being guaranteed for more than just a couple of days at a time in a rapidly changing market, and all interested STAP members must execute a contract within this potentially very short time period. Because time will be of the essence once final contract terms are negotiated, it is necessary that all STAP members have mechanisms in place to permit prompt consideration and approval. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Resolution as submitted. M~rk L. Ivr(~Da~iel Director of Management and Budget BACKGROUNDINFORMATION Senate Bill 7 in the 1999 Legislature enacted electric deregulation and allowed cities and other entities to aggregate their electric load for purposes of purchasing electricity more economically. SB 7 provided the creation of a political subdivision corporation under the Chapter 303 of the Local Government Code. On March 23, 2001, the City of Corpus Chdsti hosted a meeting of CPL area cities to discuss aggregation. The consensus of the meeting was that the cities should proceed together to aggregate electric load through a political subdivision corporation. Subsequently, the Council has taken the following progressive actions and the STAP Board has requested proposals from prospective electric service providers. PREVIOUS RELATED COUNCIL ACTIONS: April 10, 2001 - Approval of Resolution 024422, which approved the Articles of Incorporation for the South Texas Electric Project, Inc (STEP). Later known as the South Texas Aggregation Project, Inc. (STAP) May 8, 2001 - Approval of STAP By-Laws and the City's membership in the Project. Attachments: Memorandum Supporting Passage of Resolution Cities Participating in STAP Proposed Resolution Prepared by Geoffrey Gc~v, STAP Legal Counsel MEMORANDUM SUPPORTING PASSAGE OF RESOLUTION TO DESIGNATE ECONOMIC BENEFIT EVALUATOR AND SIGNA TORY TO POWER SUPPL Y A GREEMENT Designation of a specific representative to confirm that the STAP agreement with a power supplier ~vill provide economic benefit and sign necessary power agreements is important because: Confirmation of economic benefit needs to commence while the terms of agreement with the winning bidder are still under negotiation and during a continued period of confidentiality. STAP is exercising great care to ensure that maximum benefits flow to each participant. That may entail isolating certain accounts and negotiating with the bidder to let specific accounts be served by an incumbent provider, outside of STAP. That will require confidential communication between a specific city representative, STAP consultants and the winning bidder. Time pressures will frustrate taking the final STAP contract back to each city council for approval. The time pressures that are facing STAP as it attempts to negotiate a contract are evidenced in the following: Completion of the power supply agreement will be contingent upon commitment of a specific load. Specific city representatives can confirm the economic benefit to their cities assuming aggregation of specific accounts and be ready to commit a specific load as the contract is nearing completion. The Public Utility Commission has failed to enter final orders critical to certain elements of future electric pricing and, even more critical, to quantification of benefits of aggregation. The most important of these is the fuel price component of the price to beat. Orders defining that key pricing component may not be known for several more weeks. Commission delays in issuing orders that influence pricing increase uncertainty among potential providers. That uncertainty indicates to STAP that it would be prudent to be flexible in timing the finalization of an agreement in order to capture the best possible price and to avoid being adversely impacted by a Commission Order after a contract is signed. Prudent management of this situation necessitates having a specific contact with each member city with whom STAP can work to confirm economic benefit for each city as cimumstances attributable to Commission action and contract negotiations change. Each retail electric provider or power supplier with whom an end-user deals in the deregulated market place will demand a written contract. From discussions with potential providers, STAP anticipates that the most efficient mechanism will be for STAP to negotiate one power supply agreement which will be referred to and adopted by the provider and each city, thus creating a contractual obligation between each city and the provider. Designation of the person who will sign the power supply contract on behalf of each city as soon as possible will enhance the efficiency of STAP's efforts. Clarification/Quantification Of Economic Benefit Under retail electric deregulation effective January l, 2002 there are two basic types of electric accounts, those that are covered by price to beat (PTB)~ and those that are not. A retail electric provider affiliated with the incumbent utility company can only offer service to PTB eligible accounts at the price to beat rate, adjusted for fuel costs. Non-PTB accounts may be charged whatever the supplier and customer agree upon. However, the retail electric provider (REP) must recover non-bypassable charges that will be imposed by the transmission and distribution utility pursuant to Commission Order if the competitive REP intends to make a profit. A specific price quote may be economically beneficial to some PTB accounts and not others dependent upon what tmfff the Commission requires for service to a particular account and what non-bypassable charges a REP will have to pay to provide service to customers on that tariff. Each city has a unique combination of accounts and a unique combination of PTB and non-PTB load. The evaluation of economic benefit involves analyzing future PTB rates and projected non-PTB rates of tt'.e incumbent provider (affiliated REP) against rates to be applied under aggregation. It is STAP's goal to confirm that its members are economically better off under the aggregation project than they would be if they did nothing and remained under the PTB rates and the standard offer for non-PTB rates. While STAP is unique among aggregation projects in that regard, STAP consultants intend to take the analysis a step further. Not content that aggregation of STAP's entire load produces total savings, or even savings for each city when Under SB 7 passed in 1999, PTB is to be a 6 percent reduction to the bundled (fuel and base rates) price in effect in January 1999, adjusted for fuel costs. Because fuel costs increased significantly in 2000- 2001, it is unlikely any PTB customer will realize a savings from 1999 rates. compared to doing nothing, STAP's consultants will attempt to isolate specific accounts that individually produce negative savings (despite overall positive savings). Subsequently, STAP consultants will negotiate with the winning bidder to remove those accounts from the aggregated load, so that those accounts can remain under PTB. Furthermore, STAP has secured bids that permit separate evaluation of PTB and non-PTB load. Even if economic analysis provides that it is best for an individual city to leave some or all its PTB eligible accounts with the affiliated provider of the incumbent utility, that city will still have an aggregation option for its non-PTB accounts. The STAP load in the initial request for proposal exceeds 300 million kWh annually. It involves approximately 2200 electric accounts. Thorough economic analysis requires an understanding of where existing accounts will be consolidated under new rate designations, as well as an understanding of how price to beat will be calculated. Based upon existing information, STAP consultants have confirmed that several bids will produce total savings when measured against the current understanding of the price to beat. The challenge now is to increase the savings by removing accounts that would be better off under PTB and to protect and hopefully increase savings by maintaining flexibility to react to changing market conditions and Commission Orders. STAP appreciates your patience and cooperation. tFarning Regarding Misrepresentation Of Savings From Sources Outside Of STAP Several cities in North Texas have recently signed contracts for future power where an incumbent provider has promised savings when measured against current rates and costs. Some members of STAP may be tempted to ask why they should participate in an aggregation project when the city could capture a benefit without aggregation. Please note, all PTB accounts whether aggregated or not, should expect savings when measured against existing rates because of the disappearance on January 1, 2002 of fuel cost surcharges that have been imposed throughout most of 2001 and implementation of the 6 percent reduction to 1999 bundled rates. The appropriate economic comparison is not whether a power contract can produce savings in comparison to current charges, but whether it can produce savings in comparison to the future price to beat? The cities that have signed contracts with their incumbent provider (affiliated REP) without testing the market place, most likely have received no better deal than they could have received if they had done nothing other than accept the costs that would have otherwise been imposed under PTB. Moreover, those cities may not have pursued due diligence regarding an evaluation of what the market has to offer. Additionally, cities that depend upon the graciousness of an incumbent provider may be placing themselves in a precarious position because PTB protection will disappear within five years and all accounts of every city will be subject to market conditions. Collective effort by aggregation is the most rational, efficient and least costly approach because: As can be seen in the foregoing discussion regarding economic benefit, an evaluation of a competitive offer against the price to beat can be a difficult proposifion without the assistance of rate consultants who are familiar with recent comnUssion Orders that reclassify tariffs and set non-bypassable charges that REPs must pay and will likely pass on to customers. The devil is in the detail of power contracts. Terms and conditions can be of greater importance than the quoted price per kWh. No member alone can obtain the clout of STAP's load, and it would be inefficient for a single member to retain and bring to the bargaining table consultants with the expertise of STAP's consultants. Cooperation now should produce benefits in 2002, but the benefits should grow as the markets mature and as providers become acquainted with STAP's continuous diligence in pursuing the most economic path for its members. Deregulation brings permanent change that requires continuous monitoring of economic and electric market conditions. Even assuming that a member can luck into a favorable initial contract on its own, it is unreasonable to rely on luck every time a one or two-year power contract expires. Long-term success in competitive markets requires knowledge, experience and bargaining ability. Numerous issues are on the horizon that will require a coordinated response from Cities. These include: How will Cities in non-attainment areas and the State Implementation Plan shave 5 percent load annually? How can Cities pursue meaningful and reasonably priced load management that can trim peak demand and thus contain power costs? How can Cities deal with the projected deregulation of street lighting? STAP is a Vehicle for Providing Necessary Coordination Hopefully, this message confirms your decision to join STAP. We anticipate mutual cost savings and other mutual long-term benefits as Cities work together through STAP. Please facilitate STAP's ability to expeditiously conclude the contracting process by designating individuals authorized to review and confirm economic benefit and sign the necessary power agreements.

The Council subsequently approved a series of actions relating to land acquisition for the Arena on August 28, 2001. The actions included: · Authorization to submit a grant application for an Economic Development Initiative Special Project in the amount of $498,900 for land acquisition to expand the Bayfront Arts and Sciences Park (Res. No. 024563); · Authorization to execute all documents necessary to accept and implement an Economic Development Initiative Special Project for land acquisition to expand the Bayfrent Arts and Sciences Park (M2001-339); · Appropriation of $498,900 subject to approval by the U.

Thomas Utter, Assistant City Manager October 23, 2001 SUBJECT: Request for Meeting of the Corpus Christi Community Improvement Corporation (CCCIC) on October 30, 2001 I am requesting that a meeting of the Corpus Christi Community Improvement Corporation (CCCIC) be held during the Council meeting of October 30, 2001 to consider the following: 1. Authorizing an amendment to the Nueces County Community Action Agency New Construction Home Buyer Program for an additional $45,000 of HOME Program funds to supplement the Nueces County Community Action Agency New Construction Home Buyer Program. This additional funding was a result of a Community Housing Development Organization (CHDQ), Ability Resource Incorporated (ARI), returning $45,000 of the original $100,000 that was approved by the CCCIC on June 25, 1996. The original scope of the ARI project included the completion of two rental units. One project was completed at 5834 Riley Dr. with the assistance of Section 811 HUD funding. The other project was to be completed with the purchase of three lots at 4232/4238/4242 Walnut Hills. ARI had purchased the lots on June 12, 2000 for the cost of $45,000. As time elapsed, ARI decided not to pursue the second rental unit after all and have since sold the lots resulting in the return of $45,000 to the HOME Program. These returned funds must be recommitted to a different CHDO to meet the funding year's 15% CHDO set aside. I am recommending that the $45,000 be appropriated to the New Construction Home Buyer Program under contract to the Nueces County Community Action Agency. This additional funding should provide assistance for three additional first time homebuyers. W.
