Manager Garcia pointed out that the road project also entails m~or drainage work, which is much
more expensive than just paving it. He said the airport is scheduled to be open in summer 2002 and
staff would like to add this project in the spring~ Mr. Dave Hamrick, Aviation Director, added that
they also did not want to construct the entrance road and have it tom up by construction associated

Council Member Kinnison, Mr. Dan Whitworth, Assistant Director of Park and Recreation, said staff
initially went through a request for proposal (RFP) process and Marbella Grill Inc. (dba Christian's
House) was given a one-year lease agreement to see if that restaurant was viable in that location. He
Minutes- Regular Council Meeting
January29,2002
Page 5
said other restaurants have operated there without long-term success while the current tenant has
been in that location for two years. City Manager Garcia said the restaurant operates Wednesdays
through Saturdays and the owner also operates a catering business from that location.
Ma'. Kinnison expressed concem that the proposed lease is with a for-profit company for five
years in exchange for monthly payments of only $300.00. He said he did not want to tie the property
up for that length of time, particularly in anticipation of the activity that will occur with the new
arena and renovated convention center. He added that there is not an escalation clause in the contract
and he is interested in shortening the term of the lease. Mr. Garcia reiterated that other restaurants
have not been successful in that location and this restaurant owner offered the highest bid.
Council Member Longoria said he thought Mr. Kinnison's concerns were valid, saying he
would be willing to support a two-year lease term with a possible option for the city to extend the
lease for three more years. Mr. Whitworth said staff can go back to the tenant and discuss those
issues. He said traditionally there has been the desire to have a for-profit food service operation in
Heritage Park. He said staff is hopeful that the pedestrian traffic will increase as development occurs,
but at this time it is difficult to support a very large monthly payment by the tenant.
Council Member Colmenero said that five years may be too long and he agreed with the idea
ora two-year lease with a three-year extension option. Council Member Kelly asked when the arena
is scheduled to be completed and Mr. Garcia replied in 2004. Mr. Kelly said he is familiar with that
area and there is not that much activity at this time. He said a restaurant in that location is
advantageous and he asked what is the objective for Heritage Park. Mr. Garcia said the city's
objective had been to keep the buildings occupied but it is difficult to tell what the character of that
area will be after the arena opens.
Mr. Longoria made a motion to amend Item 10 to change the lease term to two years;
seconded by Mr. Colmenero. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council on Mr. Longoria's motion,
and it failed to pass by the following vote: Cohnenero, Kinmson, Longoria, and Noyota voting
"Aye"; Neal, Chesney, Garrett, Kelly, and Scott voting "No."
Mr. Longoria asked what is the net operating loss for Heritage Park. Mr. Whitworth said he
does not have that figure but explained that each of the homes pays into a maintenance fund and it
is the city's responsibility to maintain the exterior of the homes. Mr. Longoria said he thought the
loss was about $260,000 and proposals such as this one would be more acceptable if there was not
such a large operating loss.
Mr. Kinnison made a motion to direct staff to renegotiate the lease to include an escalation
clause with some basis on sales; Mr. Colmenero seconded the motion. He also suggested that staff
review the differences in the leases between the for-profit and non-profit organizations in Heritage
Park. Council Member Chesney said this proposal was the best the city received for competitive bids
and the Council should support it, particularly since it is a local business. Council Member Noyota
said he did not want to run the vendor out of business but he would prefer a two-year rather than a
five-year lease.

Mayor Neal said that according to the agenda memorandum, the owner of the restaurant at
the Merriman-Bobys House expressed an interest in a five-year lease and staff is offering that. He
said the memo does not say the owner bid on a five-year contract. Mr. Whitworth said the owner was
initially placed in that building in response to an RFP for a one-year term for $300 a month. The
Mayor said the Council has the authority to amend the lease to a fixed amount plus a percentage of
sales, which does not require rebidding the contract. City Attorney Bray agreed.
Mr. Kinnison said his motion is to instruct staff to negotiate an escalation clause in the lease
agreement that is tied into sales (percentage of gross). Mr. Chapa polled the Council and the motion
passed as follows: Neal, Colmenero, Kelly, Kinnison, Longoria, and Noyola voting "Aye"; Chesney,
Garrett, and Scott voting "No."
10. WITHDRAWN
Mayor Neal referred to the presentations on the day's agenda. The first presentation (Item
12) was an update on the Broadway Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) diversion project. City
Manager Garcia said that plant is the oldest in the city and staffhas been doing detailed analyses on
options for diverting the flows from that plant in the furore.
Mr. Angel Escobar, Director of Engineer/ng Services, explained that on March 18, 1997 the
Oso/Greenxvood implementation plan was approved l~y the Council. The cost-benefit analysis
determined that the plan would save $900,000 per year but it would cost $22.4 million to implement.
On May 15,2001, staff presented to the Council the tbilowing options: diversion to the Greenwood
WWTP; diversion to the Allison WWTP; construct a new plant in the industrial area; and construct
a new plant at the existing site. On September 11,2001, the Council directed staff to further evaluate
what they felt were the three most viable options--Greenwood diversion, a new plant in the industrial
area, and a new plant at Broadway (thus excluding the Allison diversion option).
Mr. Escobar said the benefits of diverting the wastewater flows to Greenwood include
consolidation of the plants; one less discharge permit; less operational and maintenance staff; and
potential effluent re-use. The constraints include a stringent discharge permit; additional pumping
costs for lift stations and a pipeline; and additional land cost for an intermediate lift station and force
main easements. The benefits of building a new plant in the industrial area are less odor control; ease
of construction; no change in the permit requirements; potential effluent re-use; and asset value of
the existing site. The constraints include limited space; site preparation; a new force main; and
property acquisition. Mr. Escobar described the location and characteristics of the CITGO site.
With regard to the third option, a new plant at the Broadway site, the benefits include no
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
January 29, 2002
Page 7
property acquisition, no permit change, and ease of implementation. The constraints are: conflicts
with the area development plan; odor control required; must maintain operations during construction;
aesthetics; and a limited construction space. Mr. Escobar then reviewed a cost comparison of the
three options: diversion to Greenwood - $57.4 million; new industrial area plant - $44.2 million; and
new Broadway plant - $44.1 million. Incorporating the cost with a 20-year operation and
maintenance life cycle, the figures are: diversion to Greenwood - $72.3 million; new industrial area
plant - $57.7 million; and new Broadway plant - $60.6 million.
Mr. Escobar said that staff is recommending constructing a new plant in the industrial area,
which will involve the following actions: amending the architectural/engineering contract with
Govind Engineering for Council award; assembling a team to assist with the negotiations among the
city, CITGO and the Port of Corpus Christi Authority; and addressing specific land purchase issues.
With regard to the CITGO site, the issues to be resolved include removal of the existing storage
tanks; replacement of storage tanks; wetlands mitigation; environmental closure; participation with
the Port Authority; and property acquisition schedule.
Responding to Mayor Neal, Mr. Escobar said the negotiations and related issues are expected
to take six to eight months to complete, which is the first phase of this multi-year contract. He noted
that the FY 2001-02 capital improvement budget approved by the Council includes $2.9 million for
the land acquisition and the amendment to the engineering contract. It will take approximately 30
to 36 months to actually construct the 8 MGD plant. Mr. Mark McDaniel, Director of Management
and Budget, pointed out that the three-year short-range CIP includes a total of $4.78 million for
initial project costs. He said that for planning purposes, staff computed the highest cost option ($58
million) into the long-range CIP; however, if the Council approves staff's recommendatiom the cost
will actually be about $44 million.
Council Member Kinnison asked what is the critical time line for the Broadway plant. Mr.
Foster Crowell, Wastewater Superintendent, and Mr. Escobar said monies have been budgeted to
keep that plant operational for the next five years. Mr. Kinnison commended staff for their thorough
analysis of the available options. In reply to Council Member Colmenero, Mr. Crowell described
some of the specific equipment at the Broadway plant that will probably need to be replaced in the
next few years. Mr. Escobar said that vacating the Broadway site and relocating the Port Avenue
entrance will open that area to redevelopment. He said costs to clean up the existing site have been
factored into the total costs.
Council Member Kelly asked if staff has considered the implications of the possible
relocation of Harbor Bridge. Mr. Escobar said staff has met with officials from the Texas
Department of Transportation and the Port about that issue and if it is relocated, it will not affect the
new wastewater treatment plant site. In response to Council Member Scott, Mr. Escobar also
discussed the realignment of the entrance to Port Avenue.
Council Member Garrett asked about the space limitations at the industrial area site. Mr.
Escobar said the increased capacity will be built into the new plant and that will not be an issue. He
added that odor control equipment and maintenance are expensive. Mayor Neal said this project
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
January 29, 2002
Page 8
constitutes a $50 million investment in the utility system which is driven by regulatory requirements
and the age (70 years old) of the existing plant. He said this is an example of what happens when the
city's infrastructure is not upgraded regularly. There was consensus of the Council to allow staff to
proceed with the option of constructing a new wastewater treatment plant in the industrial area.
The second presentation (Item 13) was regarding the United States Department of Housing
and Urban Development's (HUD) designation of Corpus Christi as a "renewal community."
Assistant City Manager Tom Utter said this action is one of the greatest boons to Corpus Christi in
the last few decades. He used a map to describe census tracts 1, 3, 4, 10 and 11 which receix, ed
HUD's designation. He noted that tracts 4 and 11 have approximately 70% poverty levels. He said
tract 1 (Corpus Christi Beach) and tract 3 (which includes Corpus Christi Marina) in particular have
a great deal of development potential.
Mr. Utter said this designation allows the City of Corpus Christi and private business people
the opportm~iry to compete for up to $17 billion worth of tax incentives, $6 billion of which m'e held
expressly for renewal communities: He then described the incentives associated with the renewal
community designation: wage credits, work opportunity credits, welfare to work credits, commercial
revitalization deductions, Section 179 deductions, environmental clean-up cost deductions, zero
pement capital gains rate, qualified zone academy bonds, new markets tax credits, and low-income
housing tax credit.
Responding to Mayor Neal, Mr. Utter said most of these incentives do not apply to non-profit
organizations but rather to for-profit groups. He added that the old Nueces County Courthouse could
qualify for assistance and he noted that the period of the RC designation is 2002-2009. He said the
renewal conm~unity is an overlay on both the enterprise zone and the reinvesnnent zone, which offer
their own incentive programs.
Mr. Utter said the renewal community partners are the City of Corpus Christi, CCISD,
Coastal Bend Workforce Development Board, C.C. Beach Association, C.C. Chmnber of Commerce,
C.C. Regional Economic Development Corporation, C.C. Regional Transportation Authority, Del
Mar College, Gulf Coast Council of La Raza, Metro Ministries, Nueces County Comnmnity Action
Agency, Texas A&M University-C.C., Texas Department of Economic Development, Texas General
Land Office, Westside Business Association, Workforce Network Inc., YMCA, and the YWCA. He
· noted that the only two RC designations in the state are this city and E1 Paso County.
In reply to another question from the Mayor, Mr. Utter said this is a Bush administration
initiative which is designed to be utilized by the private sector to hire, train and baiid in the
designated areas. He said the most successful programs in the past have involved the private sector.
He said it is hoped that census tracts adjacent to the designated ones will also benefit.
Council Member Longoria asked why more areas in the port were not included. Mr. Utter
replied that many port areas are not in the city limits and the designated tracts have to be contiguous.
Minutes- Regular Council Meeting
January29,2002

Mr. Longoria suggested that staff meet with port officials to explain the specifics about the HUD
designation. Council Member Kelly asked if the city is eligible for some of the employment benefits.
Mr. Utter said at this time the city and other governmental entities are not eligible, although there
is a movement to make them eligible. However, since many of the incentives involve tax credits,
they would not apply. He added the mortgage credit certificate program can be utilized by residents
in the designated tracts. Mr. Utter also further described the qualified zone academy bond program.
Responding to Council Member Scott, Mr. Utter said the renewal community initiative is a
new program. He said most of the other designated areas throughout the country are sized similarly
to Corpus Christi. He added that he does not know of any other renewal communities that include
a bayfront, a marina and a beach. As a result, the RC partners need to publicize the advantages of
Corpus Christi's designation.
In reply to Council Member Noyola, Mr. Utter said an employee would have to live and work
in a designated census tract in order for a business in that tract to take advantage of the RC
incentives. He described how such organizations as the Coastal Bend Council of La Raza and Metro
Ministries are involved. Council Member Colmenero asked about housing issues with regard to the
renewal community, which Mr. Utter explained. Council Member Kinnison said the key element is
making people aware of this designation and he asked if staff had any plans to include information
on the city's web site. Mr. Utter said they intend to create a link from the city's site to HUD's site.
Mr. Utter also stated that during a press conference on January 28th at McGee Beach, Land
Commissioner David Dewhurst announced three major grant awards to the city under the Coastal
Erosion Planning and Response Act. Those projects are: $1.25 million to assist with the North Padre
Island storm damage reduction and environmental restoration project (Packery Channel); $700,000
for restoration of McGee Beach; and $1 million for Sunfish Island restoration and marina dredging.
Mr. Utter explained that the first project is partial funding for the local share ($10.5 million)
of the overall Packery Channel project ($30 million). City staff anticipates that the project will be
under construction in late 2002 and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has estimated that
approximately $6 million will be expended prior to August 31, 2003 (the end of the state biennium).
The second project involves dredging sand fi.om certain areas of the marina and placing it on McGee
Beach to enlarge the usable beach area. The third project involves the protection and restoration of
Sunfish Island, which is a prime waterfowl rookery (nesting site), and dredging areas of the marina,
which will improve operations.
Mr. Scott asked about the funding for the Packery Channel project. Mr. Utter said that due
to the state's budget deadline of August 31, 2003, staff asked that the Corps send a letter to the
General Land Office stating how much they anticipate spending before the end of that period.
Council Member Chesney asked about additional funding that may be available for the
Packery Channel project. Mr. Utter said Commissioner Dewhurst and his staff have said that the
funding is based on the amount that can be spent during this biennium. Assuming that the state's
program is renewed, he said additional funds may be available after August 3 I, 2003. Mr. Utter

added that under the direction of the City Manager, city staff meet with the Corps regularly to
provide them with information as needed. He added that these state grants are very significant.
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 14, renewal community designation. There were no
comments from the audience. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:
14. RESOLUTION NO. 024753
Resolution author/zing the City Manager or his designee to sign the necessary documentation
to accept the U.S. Deparm~ent of Housing and Urban Development's Renewal Community
Designation in Census Tracts 1, 3, 4, 10, and 11, which is designed to stimulate economic
development in these areas.
The foregoing resolution passed by the following vote: Nea,, Chesney, Colmenero, Garrett,
Kelly, Kinnison, Longoha, and Noyola voting "Aye"; Scott absent.
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 15, renovation of senior and recreation centers. There
were no comments from the audience. City Manager Gareia said this is the last construction contract
to be awarded for the park and recreation improvements for the 2000 bond issue. City Secretary
Chapa polled the Council for their votes:
15. M2002-040
Motion author/zing the City Manager or his desit~mee to award a construction contract in the
amount of $168,465.42 with Third Coast Coi~stmction for the renovation of senior and
recreation centers at the following sites: T.C. Ayers Recreation Center, Ben Garza
Gymnasium, and Greenwood Senior Center.
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 16, airport ground lease. He called for public
comment. City Secretary Chapa stated that Council Member Noyola signed a disclosure affidavit and
would be abstaining from discussing or voting on Item 16.
Mr. J.E. O'Brien, 4130 Pompano, questioned the wisdom of approving a 60-year lease. He
asked whether it would be more appropriate to have a shorter lease with options to extend it.
Assistant City Manager Utter explained that this proposal is a 60-year lease to the Corpus Christi
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
January 29, 2002
Page 11
Regional Economic Development Corporation (EDC). In turn, the EDC will be executing a sublease
to Corpus Christi Aerospace Ltd. (CCA) for five years on the first hangar and seven years on the
second hangar. He added that there is a rolling lease renewal up to the time CCA pays off all the
bonds. And if they do that, it is as if the company built the building itself. Mr. Utter added that the
city, Nueces County and the Port of Corpus Christi Authority are working together to help create
good jobs in the area through this endeavor.
Council Member Kinnison asked Mr. Utter to discuss the time line of this lease. Mr. Utter
explained that the City Charter requires a 28-day delay between the first and second reading of leases
and they are not effective until 60 days after the second reading. He said staff had developed a
shorter-term lease but they are now proposing a longer term after reviewing the memorandum of
understanding that had originally been negotiated. He said the Council also has to approve the
sublease between the EDC and CCA. Mr. Kinnison said he had discussed his concerns with Mr.
Utter and Mr. Bray about the need for a guaranteed jobs clause, assignability clause, the option
premises and other issues. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:
16.a. FIRST READ1NG ORDINANCE
Ordinance approving a sixty-year ground lease at Corpus Christi International Airport
between the City of Corpus Christi and the Corpus Christi Regional Economic Development
Corporation.
The foregoing ordinance passed on first reading as follows: Neal, Chesney, Colmenero,
Garrett, Kelly, Kinnison, and Scott voting "Aye"; Noyola abstaining; Longoria absent.
16.b. ORDINANCE NO. 024754
Ordinance repealing Ordinance No. 024717 (December 18, 2001) which approved a one-year
ground lease at Corpus Christi International Airport between the City of Corpus Christi and
the Corpus Christi Regional Economic Development Corporation; and rescinding the first-
reading approval of a long-term ground lease at the Airport between those parties.
An emergency was declared and the foregoing ordinance passed: Neal, Chesney, Colmenero,
Garrett, Kelly, Kinnison, and Scott voting "Aye"; Noyola abstaining; Longoria absent.
Mayor Neal recessed the regular Council meeting for the meeting of the Corpus Christi
Housing Finance Corporation.
Upon reconvening the regular meeting, Mayor Neal announced the executive sessions,
pursuant to Texas Government Code Section 551.071, regarding the following: Item 18 - City of
Corpus Christi Project #3219, Nourishment of Corpus Christi Beach - 2001, with possible discussion
and action related thereto in open session; and Item 19 - Armando D. Flores v. City of Corpus

Page 12
Christi, No. 00-3837-G, 319th District Court, Nueces County, Texas, with possible discussion and
action related thereto in open session. The Council went into executive session. The Council returned
from executive session. Mayor Neal made the following motion, seconded by Mr. Kinnison:
19. M2002-04_!
Motion authorizing the City Manager to execute documents settling Armando D. Flores v.
City of Corpus Christi, No. 00-3837-G, 319th District Court, Nueces County, Texas, for
$75,000 pursuant to the agreement negotiated by the City's attorneys.
The foregoing motion passed by the following vote: Neal, Chesney, Colmenero, Garrett,
Kelly, KJnnison, Longoria, Noyola, and Scott voting "Aye."
Mayor Neal called for petitions from the audience.
Mr. J.E. O'Brien, 4130 Pompano~ said that Mayor Neal's substitute motion during the
January 22, 2002, meeting significantly changed the original agenda item outside the required 72-
hour notification period. He said he thinks it would be easy to get an injunction to prevent the
enforcement of that particular motion. Mr. O'Brien also quoted the third part of the Mayor's motion:
"that City' of Corpus Christi policy is established that there will be no payroll deduction in payment
of membership dries to an employee association." He questioned whether that clause violates the
city's collective bargaining agreements with the fire and police unions. He also announced that on
January 31, 2002, the Corpus Christi Taxpayers Association will begin a petition drive seeking the
required number of signatmes for a charter amendment changing the city's form of government from.
"Council-Manager" to "Mayor-Council."
In response ~:o Mr. O'Brien, City Attorney Bray said the subject matter of the posting was
fully adequate. He said the Council can reverse an action on the same subject matter and sometimes
does on staffreconunendations. He said with respect to the fire and police unions, it is absolutely
dear that the context of those items in Mayor's Neal's substitute motion on January 22nd were with
respect to civilian employees. He said the Council has already fully adopted "dues check-off' in
contracts with both the fire m~d police nnions, xvhich are valid obligations and will continue in place.
Mr. R.F. Hasker, 1813 Wallace, questioned whether Land Commissioner Dewhurst had been
given false or misleading information about the cost of the Packery Channel project. He said the state
grants should not be spent on that project without the final approval of the Army Corps of Engineem.
He also asked about the shoring up of the channel, the height of the bridge, and whether most of the
voters who approved the tax-increment financing district knew what they were voting on.
In response to Mayor Neal, Mr. Escobar said staff has received the 95% submittal from the
Corps of Engineers for both tke plans and specifications as well as the engineering support
document. He said they expect the final reports in mid-February, at which time the Corps will also
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
January 29, 2002
Page 13
publish the environmental information document. He said the Corps has established a series of
public meetings, including one before the City Council, for 60 days. He said depending on funding,
the contract could be awarded in late winter 2002.
Mr. Jose Marroquin, 2433 Allencrest, referred to comments made by City Manager Garcia
during the January 22, 2002, meeting regarding a woman Mr. Marroquin was assisting with her
utility bill. He said he accompanied the woman to City Hall and did not attempt to resolve her
problem by himself. He said he also provided the Council with all the details about that situation so
they would know that sometimes the stated procedures are not properly followed.
Mr. Carlos Torres, President of the Corpus Christi Firefighters Association, said there was
a fire the night before at Lost Colony Condominium and it took 13 minutes for the first fire track to
arrive. He said that is an unreasonable amount of time and the city has a responsibility to provide
services to the citizens now that the city has annexed that area. He said 13 minutes does not comply
with the nationally accepted standard that was approved during a meeting in California in May 2001.
He said while the standard is not a law, many attomeys are reviewing it. He said the response time
should be four minutes for the first unit to arrive and eight minutes for the whole complement. He
said they are asking that the fire station construction project on Mustang Island be accelerated.
Council Member Scott asked Mr. Torres if he thought the Port Aransas Fire Department
should have been called to the Lost Colony fire. Mr. Torres said he did not know whether the city
has a mutual aid agreement with Port Aransas, although Corpus Christi is responsible for that area.
City Manager Garcia said Port Aransas has a volunteer fire department and their response
time is substantially longer than the response time provided by the Corpus Christi Fire Department.
Mr. Torres reiterated that 13 minutes was an excessive amount of time. Mayor Neal said the
standards referred to by Mr. Torres do not apply in Texas and are only guidelines. Mr. Torres replied
that they were voted on by over 2,600 members of the lntemational Association of Fimfighters. He
said they are trying through legislative means to make those standards become law.
Responding to Mr. Scott, Mr. Garcia said the city's firefighters did an outstanding job
fighting the fire last night because they had oriented themselves to the hydrants and equipment in
that area. He said the citizens on the island are being well served and he added there is a specific plan
to greatly improve the fire depattment's response time.
Council Member Noyola asked ifa mobile home can be temporarily established until the new
fire station on Mustang Island is constructed. Mr. Garcia said staff would have to find a new fire
vehicle (which costs about $500,000) because the reserve vehicles are old and ineffective. He said
it is also a matter of providing full staffing (four firefighters to a truck), which equates to 12 to 16
additional firefighters. He reiterated that the land for the new station has been identified and the
firefighters are being trained. He said staffcan provide a briefing on Mr. Noyola's suggestion. Mr.
Garcia added that the current fire service is a major improvement over the service the island residents
received prior to the annexation. Council Member Garrett asked when ground will be broken on the
new fire station. Mr. Garcia replied in May with operations to commence in September.

Mayor Neal called for the City Manager's report. Mr. Garcia said the next Council meeting
will be held on February 12th, which will include a joint meeting at noon with the EDC, followed
by the regular Council meeting.
In his report, Mayor Neal said that during a meeting of the South Texas Military Facilities
Task Force, there was a question about the city assisting the military bases in buying their electricity
through the city's aggregated program. Mr. McDaniel said the federal and state entities can receive
better deals than the city can get through its aggregated contract. He said city staff and the consultant
can talk with representatives of the military bases about that issue. The Mayor called for Council
concerns and reports.
Mr. Colmenero reported a possible building code violation at 321 Ohio Street and he
commented on the news that the Mexican consulate is scheduled to close its Corpus Christi office.
Responding to a question from Mr. Colmenero, Mayor Neal said he was not sure how the Council
could involve itself in the issue of the Mexican consulate but he has discussed it xvith ciD' staft: Mr.
Garcia said staff can provide additional information to the Council on some of the issues surrounding
the decision to close the office. Mr. Cohnenero also announced a town hall meeting to be held at Ray
High School on January 3 l, 2002.
Mr. Chesney said he and other Council members received an email regarding the disparity
in traveling from the Corpus Christi airport to various locations, such as Mexico. He said it cost
almost $800 more to fly from Corpus Christi to Houston to Mexico as it cost to fly from San Antonio
to Houston to the same location in Mexico. He said he would like to relay those concerns to the
airliue industry. Mr. Chesney also said he and Mr. Colmenero attended a Chamber of Commerce-
sponsored BIL&C update that was very informative. He thanked city staff for meeting with residents
of Chenoweth Street and he asked about the schedule for hearing public co~rument and taking action
on the marina proposals.
Mr. Gamia said staff is currently giving presentations to ~'oups about the marina proposals
and they have retained a consultant to assess the economic impact of those plans: Mr. Chesney said
someone pointed out to him that the first public comment in front of the Council is scheduled to take
place during the same meeting in which the memorandum of understanding (MOU) will be
considered for action. Mr. Non said the schedule calls for the Council to endorse staff's
recommendation of a developer selection at the end of March. Then from that point until the end of
May, staff would be involved in negotiating an MOU with a developer, which would be brought
back to the Council for their approval. Additional discussion ensued and Mayor Neal directed staff
to schedule a presentation (as an agenda item) on the three proposals with public cornment on March
19th. Mr. Garcia said staff will be ready to make their recommendation at that thne.
Mr. Chesney said he had also received an inquiry about the possibility of placing cameras
inside the animal control facility to monitor activities there. Mr. Garcia said he met with a group of
people who asked about placing cameras in that facility. However, he said subsequent to that meeting
it became clear that the people were interested in monitoring the actual euthanasia chamber via a live
internet feed. Mr. Garcia said he does not think that should be allowed.

In reference to Mr. Chesney's comment about airfares, Mayor Neal said the Airport Board
deals with that issue regularly and they have had a number of meetings with the carders. He
suggested that the Council have a joint meeting with the Airport Board to discuss those issues.
Mr. Kelly said he is impressed with the job Mr. Escobar and his staff did with regard to the
Leopard Street project. Mr. Garrett asked why several cones are still present on Leopard Street. Mr.
Escobar said the contractor is still working on the business's driveways. Mr. Kelly asked for an
update on efforts to assist non-public safety employees. Mr. Noe said the Council authorized the
compensation and classification study this year, which is underway. He said the goal is to have the
preliminary results available in March and April in preparation for the budget process. He said the
study will also provide information about existing benefits and possible ways to improve them.
Mr. Longoria said the Council's Municipal Court Committee is scheduled to meet on January
31st at noon. The committee consists of Mr. Longoria, Mr. Kelly, Mr. Garrett, and Mr. Scott. He said
they are trying to fill two Municipal Court judge positions.
Mayor Neal said he thinks Mr. Carlos Torres and others have raised a legitimate concern
about the delivery of services on Mustang Island. He asked that Fire Chief Adame provide additional
information in the Council's packet about that issue.
Mr. Garrett asked about a question he had previously raised about taxicab inspections. Mr.
Garcia replied that he met with Police Chief Alvarez and the taxicab inspector and they, in turn, met
with the taxicab operators. He said he believes they satisfied the operators' concerns. He added that
he will provide a follow-up report.
There being no further business to come before the Council, Mayor Neal adjourned the
Council meeting at 5:45 p.m. on January 29, 2002.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
February 12, 2002
SUBJECT: Acquisition of Parcel 7 for the Sanitary Sewer Installation in Developed Areas:
Bass Subdivision, Project #7096
AGENDA ITEM: Motion authorizing the acquisition of a utility easement and a temporary
construction easement combined as Parcel 7 out of Lot K, Block 28, and Lots O and P,
Block 29, Bass Subdivision in the amount of $27,401 from the owner Erma Traynham in
connection with the Sanitary Sewer Installation in Developed Areas: Bass Subdivision,
Project #7096.
ISSUE: Bass Subdivision is one of several priority areas not served by a wastewater
collection system. Wastewater collection improvements must be done within this
subdivision at this time to coordinate with proposed drainage improvements included in the
Stormwater Capital Improvement Program. Failure to do so would result in engineering
conflicts and increased overall costs. City staff has negotiated for easements necessary
for the project. City Council approval is required for acquisition of parcels whose cost are
greater than $25,000.
FUNDING: Funds for this project are available from the Wastewater CIP fund
550701-4500-00000-151040
RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the motion as presented.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
SUBJECT: Acquisition of Parcel 7 for the Sanitary Sewer Installation in Developed Areas:
Bass Subdivision, Project #7096
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION:
February 9, 1999: Motion authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to execute a
contract for engineering services with J.R. Thompson Engineering for a total fee not to
exceed $405,000 for the Glen Arbor and Crossgate Subdivision Drainage
Improvements, Mary Carroll Widening from Rodd Field Road to Oso Creek, Drainage
System Water Quality Improvements, and Sanitary Sewer Installations in Developed
Areas: Bass Subdivision. (Motion M99-040)
FUTURE COUNCIL ACTION: Approval of future construction contracts and amendments.
OVERVIEW:
Background: A number of Stormwater and Wastewater projects were approved by the
City Council in the 1998-99 Capital Improvement Program. These projects addressed
needed improvements and enhancements to the City's basic infrastructure
components. The extension of sanitary sewer facilities into the Bass Subdivision is
being coordinated with the proposed drainage improvements in the area in order to
prevent engineering conflicts and to reduce the overall costs.
The acquisition of twelve (12) parcels, involving utility easements and temporary
construction easements, are needed for this project. Approximately 5,805 linear feet
of utility easement is required extending from Wooldridge Road south to Saratoga
Boulevard as shown on Exhibit B. Parcel 7 involves approximately 758 linear feet of
easement or 13% of the project.
Parcel Information: Pamel 7, as shown on Exhibit C, is composed of a twenty five (25)
foot wide utility easement which narrows down to fifteen (15) feet as it fronts on
Saratoga Boulevard. Together with this utility easement is a fifteen (15) foot wide
temporary construction easement which runs parallel and adjacent to the utility
easement. The subject property is undeveloped with no buildings or improvements.
This is the final pamel to be acquired for the project.

values of the easements. The landowner has executed a Utility Easement instrument
for the appraised value. Since this is an easement acquisition, no title company is
required.

ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
BACKGROUND: The development and platting of Garden Homes at King's Crossing
Subdivision required a total extension of 452 linear feet of a 12~inch PVC water line along
Oso Parkway. The water line ties to the existing 12-inch water line previously installed by
the development of King's Crossing Unit 1, Phase I and extends southerly from the
common boundary of the two units to the southern boundary of Garden Home at King's
Crossing Subdivision (see 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 $15,472.48. An acreage fee
of $ 7,316.00 was assessed and paid prior to recordation of the plat. Because King's
Crossing Realty, Ltd. paid the acreage fee, the final reimbursement amount due to the
developer is the full $ 15,472.48. Application for reimbursement has been made in
accordance with provisions of the Platting Ordinance. The Application for waterline
reimbursement and supporting cost documentation are attached (see Exhibit C -
Reimbursement Application).
CITY ACCEPTANCE: All work is complete, and the waterline improvements have been
inspected and accepted by the City for operation and maintenance.

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
February 12, 2002
AGENDA ITEM: Motion authorizing the City of Corpus Christi's proportional contribution of the local
share of administrative expenses for regional water planning activities during FY 2002, required by
Senate Bill 1, 75th Texas Legislature, in accordance with the Interlocal Agreement for Water Planning
Activities approved by Motion M98-034, with the City's remaining share according to the formula
adopted by the Regional Water Planning Group, to be $44,309.51.
ISSUE: Senate Bill 1 in 1997 comprehensively changed Texas water laws. One aspect of the bill
provided for a comprehensive long range planning process through the creation of Regional Water
Planning Groups (RWPG). With input from Corpus Christi and other entities from this area, the Texas
Water Development Board appointed a RWPG for this area. The law required that the RWPG appoint
a political subdivision as its administrative representative in the planning process. In February 1998, the
City and the Nueces River Authority (NRA) executed an agreement proposing NRA as the administrative
representative. The RWPG subsequently approved NRA.
The agreement also anticipated that, pursuant to the statute, an equitable plan would be developed for
sharing of costs, which had to be borne locally in order to receive State planning funds. On August 25,
1998, the City Council approved $115,000 for the City's share of local costs for that year (M98-304).
Subsequently on August 24, 1999, the Council approved $45,300 in additional funds due to a revision
of the formula for participating entities for the period of March 1998 through December 2000 (M99-280).
Last year, the City's share was $45,529.65 (approved by M2001-140).
For 2002, the RWPG has approved $60,000 as the interim budget. Allocation was based on the interim
budget divided by 541,184, (the total regional population based on the 2000 census). The resulting per
capita cost of $.1109 was then aggregated to political subdivisions on the basis of the actual 2000
population.
During the initial planning period, the City agreed to pay on behalf of all the political subdivisions
receiving water from the City. Based on the above interim budget and allocation calculation, the City
has been allocated $44,309.51 as their portion of the administrative cost for the interim planning period.
FUNDING: Funds are budgeted in Water Supply Development organization (530000-4010-30230) of
the Water Fund for a total available of $44,309.51.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the proposed motion be approved, which will approve
the formula and cost allocation adopted bytge Regional Water Planning Group.

Re:
Allocation for administrative expenses associated with the Senate Bill 1 Regional
Water Planning Program for the Coastal Bend Region during calendar year 2002
Dear Ed:
I am requesting that the City of Corpus Christi (City) remit a payment of $44,309.51 to
the Nueces River Authority (NRA) for the City's portion of allocated costs associated with
the administrative expenses of the Senate Bill 1 Regional Water Planning Program for the
Coastal Bend Region during calendar year 2002.
The amount being allocated to the City of Corpus Christi for 2002 is based on a formula
whereby the total annual SB 1 administrative budget of $60,000 (approved by the Coastal
Bend Regional Water Planning Group on December 13, 2001) is divided by the total
population in the eleven county planning area to derive a per capita cost ($0.1109 for
2002). After deriving the per capita cost, the total costs allocated to each political
subdivision in the region are determined by multiplying the per capita cost by the
population reported for each entity. The population figures used in this case are the actual
2000 census data.
In the case of the City of Corpus Christi (the City), all the individual allocations for those
political subdivisions receiving water from the City's regional water supply system are
then combined into one amount to be paid by the City, then recovered through the City's
raw water pass through rates. I am enclosing a copy of a spreadsheet showing the
allocations, by political subdivision, and the total due from the City on behalf of all the
water users served by the City's regional water supply. I am also enclosing an invoice for
the above amount.
Sincerely,
e~sA. Dodson

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 12, 2002
SUBJECT: Frost National Bank Building Lease
AGENDA ITEM:
Ordinance reappropriating $388,330 from the Frost National Bank lease purchase
agreement into General Fund No. 1020, amending Ordinance No. 024528 which adopted
the FY 2001-2002 Budget to increase appropriations by $388,330 in the No. 1020 Fund
for Frost Bank Bank Lease Space Improvements; and declaring an emergency.
ISSUE: The FY2001-2002 did not reappropriate the entire proceeds available from the
Frost National Bank lease purchase agreement. Those funds need to be appropriated to
address work that is being undeAaken this Spring.
FUNDING: Funds are available from the line of credit as build-out allowance established
by Frost National Bank.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
SUBJECT: Frost Bank Lease Space
BACKGROUND: The City's external auditors determined that build out allowance proceeds from
the lease agreement must be appropriated in the General Fund. The nature of the lease purchase
option precluded the City from apprepdating the proceeds through the capital improvement fund,
which is normally done with multi-year projects. General Fund appropriations end with the fiscal
year unless there is a binding contractual obligation to make payment. The FY 2001-2002 Budget
did not fully appropriate the remaining proceeds available from the Frost National Bank lease
purchase agreement. Appropriation is necessary to permit the use of the remaining lease build
out proceeds.
The Frost Bank Lease Space renovation will house the Emergency Management and Emergency
Operations Center (4th floor), Fire Department Administration, Emergency Medical
Administration, and Fire Training (3rd floor), and Fire Prevention and Local Emergency Planning
Committee (2® floor). It currently anticipated that these departments will take occupancy by late
May or early June 2002.

The City Charter requires that any ordinance granting a lease of property shall be read at two (2) regular
City Council meetings and cannot be acted upon until the twenty-eighth (28~) day after the first reading.
Within five (5) days of each of the two readings, a description of the lease terms will be published in the

days prior to the anniversary of the fifth year of the lease, a new 5 year lease payment will be calculated
using the same procedure and sent by the City of Corpus Christi to the owner for remittance.
A lease contract fee in the amount of $1.050 must be paid by Destiny Associates, Inc., for the first five

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
February 5, 2002
AGENDA ITEM:
Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment: An amendment to Article 12A, "B-lA" Neighborhood Business
District, aud other related articles, in order to replace the required masonry wall with a standard screening fence.
Planning Commission and Staff's Recommendation (12/19/01}: Approval
Requested Council Action: Approval of the amendment to Article 12A and adoption of the attached
ordinance.
ISSUE AND REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Elinunatc thc required masoury xxall ii1 the -B-lA"
Neighborhood Business District and require conversions from residential and office uses to comply with the
standards in the "B-lA" District.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: On September 25, 2001, the City Council approved a 6-month
moratorium on the "B-lA" District's required masonry wall in order to allow the Staff and Planning comrmssion to
consider possible amendments.
BACKGROUND: The masonry fence continues to be an obstacle to rezoning properties to a "B-lA" District.
Furthermore, owners have also stated that the City's Victorian clay soils are unsuitable to masonry fence installation
in that the shrink-swell characteristics tend to break or cause masonry fences to lean prematurely, thereby increasing
maintenance costs. Consideration should be given to the fact that in some instances, the walls cannot be placed
along the property lines because of an existing utility easement. The proposed ordinance amendment as
lecommended by Planoing Commission and Staf£ wonld eliminate the reqnired masm~ry wall.
Another amendment related to the ~'B-1A" District would require properties that were rezoned from a residential
district and an "AB" Professional Office District comply xvith the development standards of the "B-lA" District.
These standards include the 15-foot wide landscape strip at the rear of the property and trees every thirty (30) feet on
center along the street frontage and in the rear landscape strip.

ZONING TEXT AMENDMENTS TO THE "AB" PROFESSIONAL OFFICE DISTRICT, "B-lA"
NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESS DISTRICT REGARDING SIGNAGE, USES AND SCREENING,
AND OTHER RELATED AMENDMENTS
Mr. Saldafia presented a revised proposed amendment to the "AB" District signs and "B-lA"
Distt~ct masonry fence requirement and i~ighlighted amendments. He said that language relating to a two-
sided on prermse detached freestanding sign was included as requested by the Comrmssion. Illumination of
the sign was addressed by prohibiting neons and bare bulbs.
With regard to the Conditional Sign perrmt, Mr. Saldafia said that Staff recommends that the
Planning ConmUssion have authority to increase sign area, height, or number of signs pet'matted in the
"AB" District. He added that the increase of height is limited to 12 foot on one (1) sign, which is requffed
to be located in the front yard setback. He continued that additional monument signs can be permitted
provided the sign identifies a separate building. As part of the Conditional Sign Permit, the applicant
would be requ/a'ed to submit a detailed site plan.
commissioner Sween-McGloin asked whether the size and number of directional signs are
limited. Mr. Saldafua said that the size is limited to four square feet. The language is located in the zoning
ordinance: however, not in this section. Comrmssioner Sween-McGloin expressed concern with the
dlum~nation of a freestanding sign and a3kcd that language be added to reqmre lights to be shielded from
roadway. She continued that language needed to be added that freestanding signs are not allowed to extend
above the building. Cotmmssioner Sween-McGloin asked whether portable signs could be attached to a
building according to the proposed amendment. Mr. Saldafia said that staff is working with Code
Enforcement to address the issue.
comrmssioner Sween-McGloin asked whether a kiosk building could be added as an accessory
building for retail or if the retail needed to be related to the service in the mare building. Mr. Saldafia said
that retail needed to be part of the use of the main building. He added that accessory building relates to
storage buildings and is currently allowed in the zoinng ordinance.
Cormmssioner Sween-McGloin asked that language be added to address Article 33-1 (1)
clarifying that the increase in height would be considered in accordance with the size of the lot and the
linear feet. Mr. Saldafia informed the comrmssion that with the current ordinance an applicant could
request a conditional sign permit for a freestanding sign of 20 square feet and 15 feet in height. Discussion
ensued regarding limiting the maximum increase to be no more than 50 percent.
comnUssioner Sween-McGloin asked that a sign design be added to Article 33-I (3) requirement
of submission by the applicant.
cormmssioner Salazar asked that the corrolation of acreage of land and signs be amended to
accommodate various sized lots. He provided an example of a platted lot being 6,000 square feet having
the same sign requirements as a 100,000 square foot lot. Mr. Saldafia explained that the development of a
6,000 square foot lot would be only one (1) sign. If there was a 100,000 square foot lot, them would be
multiple buildings and could receive multiple signs. If the property had multiple buildings, the applicant
could apply for a conditional sign perrmt, cormmssioner Salazar expressed concern with a developer
proposing a larger project and that the property w/Il have res~ictive frontage. Mr. Gunning said that staff
could add language to the Conditional Sign perrmt which gives the Plarming ComnUssion subjective
guidelines.
comrmssioner Richter requested that the monument sign lighting be shielded.
cormmssloner Zamora asked whether all freestanding signs were required to be two-sided. Mr.
Saldafia answered that signs could be one or two-sided signs, commtssinner Zamora asked that language
be included to clarify the intent in the ordinance and asked if there was a definition of a monument sign.
Mr. Saldafia said that the definition is included in the ordinance, cormmssioner Zamora expressed concern

with an applicant not being able to erect a sign made from two (2) wooden posts displaying the
name of the business in the center.
Commissioner Zamora requested that language to allow the Planning comrmssion to approve sign
design with a Conditional Sign Pernnt.
Vice Chairman Minas asked staff to review the Corpus Christi Beach District with respect to roof
signs being permitted in the district. She expressed concern with the use of portable signs.
Motion by Sween-McGloin, seconded by Awaler, to forward a recommendation of approval of the
amendments to the 'AB D'stnct with the fol owing changes:
12A (i) One single or 2-sided ..........
12A (ii) add shielded lights to monuments which are not internally illuminated or back]it
a. 12B (i) add language to prohibit extending sign above the building and prohibit signs
from extending more than 18 inches from the wall.
Article 33 - add number of signs, height area shall be considered with respect to building lot area
and frontage
Article 33 - "elevation plan of the building wall and si~n desizn ...... "
Article 33 - ". ..... authorize increases to sign area, sign height, sign design or the number of signs
in excess ........ ".
Article 33 (1) "increase is limited to no more than twelve (12) feet in height and an increase of
sign area to 50 percent."
Motion passed.
Mr. Saldafia highlighted the amendments to the "B-1A" Neighborhood Business District and said
that the amendment is necessary to eliminate the required masonry. ~vall along the rear of properties. He
added that the masonry wall has kept several applicants from applying for the "B-lA" Distxict due to costs
associated with the wall. Mr. Saldafia informed the comrmssion that the City Council has implemented a
six-month moratorium that any newly granted "B-IA" Distxict property would not be required to erect a
masonry wall.
Staff recommendation is to eliWanate the required masonry wail, Mr. Saldafia said that there was
discussion regarding one property having one type of masonry wail and an adjacent lot having a different
type of masonry wall. He said that language has been added to Article 12A-9.4 addressing the wall issue,
"Similar to a woodcrete fence design" was added. He continued that Article 12A-9.4 says that "Properties
rezoned from residential or office are required to comply xvith the regulations of the "B-IA" District."
When adjacent to residential, the "B-lA" District requires a 15-foot landscape buffer area at the rear and
trees 30 feet on center.
Commissioner Sween-McGloin submitted information regarding the "B-IA" Neighborhood
Business District. She said that previously she presented the proposed cost for a masonry fence as being
$3.50 per linear foot. The actual cost is $35.00 per linear foot. She added that there is a masonry fence that
could be erected affordably.
commissioner Sween-McGloin said that the intent of the masonry fence in the "B-lA" District
was to create a buffer between residential and more intensely used property. She added that she believes
the increase to the property value with a commercial zoning would surpass the cost of the masonry fence.
Comrmssioner Sween-McGloin asked staff to provide information regarding property values and
their impact when adjacent property rezoned to commercial zoning. She also asked for information
regarding "woodcrete' fences.
Planning Cormmssion Minutes
November 7, 2001
"B-lA" Neighborhood Business District
Page 3
Cornrmssioner Pusley said that properties requestnrg rezoning to "B-lA" District have existing
buildings and screening fences. A masonry fence would not be comparable to other fences adjacent to the
property. He continued that if the property vacant land and the developer proposed to erect buildings
adiaccnt to a residential neighborhood, a "B-1A" District with a masonry fknce would be appropriate.
Mr. Saldafia informed the Comrmssion that the fences would be erected along easements. He
added that the utility departments would not allow a masonry wall in an easement. He expressed concern
that cmzens might have with erecting a wall that the city's utility departments and companies could tear
down and not be required to erect it after utility work has been completed.
Motion by Sween-McGloin, seconded by Salazar, to continue the "B-lA" Neighborhood Business
District public hearing to December 5, 2001. Motion passed.

ZONING TEXT AMENDMENTS - "B-lA" Neighborhood Business District
Mr. Saldafia said that in September 2001, the City Council placed a moratorium on the "B-lA" District.
Stafffs recommendation for the "B-iA" District is to eliminate the masonry wall requirement. He said that
he fonnd photographs of woodcrete, cedarcrete, and fencestone fences on the internet for the Commission's
revmw. Mr. Saldafia said that there were a I~w downsides to thc woodcrete fence. I'he cost is higher than
a standard wooden fence. Another is the 5 to 10 foot property easement when there is a business lot
abutting a residential lots. The wall would not be perrmtted to be erected on the utility easement. If the
Comnussion continues to require the masomy wali, the language would need to contain an instruction that
the fence needed to be erected outside the property line.
ComnUssioner Sween-McGloin said that residents abutting the fences express concern with
dumpsters, etc and she continued that she wanted to protect the residents. She continued that similarities of
design is the same issue with wood fence. She added that fences are not supposed to be erected in
easements anyway. She said that fences need to be replaced on a regular basis because of the Victorian
clay in the region.
Vice Chair Minas said she would not support woodcrete language.
Conumssxoner Salazar said that all specifications should have similar language and allow for
flexibility.
Motion by Sween-McGloin, seconded by Mires, to remove the item from the table. Motion
passed with Zamora being absent.
Chairman Berlanga opened the public hearing. No one appeared in favor or opposition. Public
hearing was closed.
Motion by Mires, seconded by Amsler, to forward a recommendation of approval of amendments
to the "B-lA" District - Section 12A-9 as presented. Motion passed with Salazar and Sween-McGIoin
voting "Nay" and Zamora being absent.
Comrmssioner Salazar reiterated his previous statement regarding said that the word "similar"
allows for flexibility and does not reqmre a particular manufacturer.

which is adjacent to a lot occupied by a dwelling located in the "FR", "RE", "PA", "R-lA", "R-lB",
"R-1C", "R-2", '%-1 ", "A-lA", or '%-2" zoning district, then the owner of the lot to be occupied by
said business or industrial use shall be required to construct a screening fence six (6) feet in
height from the natural ground, which shall constitute a visual obstruction and shall be capable
of withstanding a thirty (30) pound per square foot horizontal wind load from any direction.
Where a lot is to be occupied by a business or industrial use, which lot is adjacent to any
located in the "FR", "RE", "RA", "R-IA", "R-1B", "R-1C", "R-2", "A-1 ", "A-lA", or "A-2" zoning
district and which adjacent lot, or lots, is not occupied by a dwelling, then the owner of the lot to
be occupied by said business or industrial use shall be required to construct a screening fence
in accordance with the standards established above, or may defer such construction upon
application for deferral to the Building Official and on condition of executing a contract with the
City which shall be filed of record in the office of the Clerk of the county or counties in which the
affected lots are situated and which contract shall constitute a covenant running with the land.
For the purposes of this amendment, "business or industrial use" is hereby defined to include
any nonresidential use permitted in the "AB", "A-IA", "A-2", "B-1 ", "B-IA", "B-2", "B-2A", "B-3",

the Director of Engineering Services. Such The deposit of money shall be held in trust and as an
interest-bearing deposit by the City's designated depository, with accrued interest to accumulate
and to be held in trust with the principal sum of the deposit. Such The contract shall further
provide that the deferment period shall terminate and the applicant shall commence construction
of a standard screening fence at the direction of the City, and in any event, no later than the
issuance of a residential building permit for the development of residential improvements or use
upon any land adjacent to or adjoining the subject lot devoted to business or industrial use.
Such The fence construction shall be completed, with the exception of any intervening act of
God, prior to the completion of the first permitted residential construction on adjacent land.
Where more than one vacant, residentially zoned lot adjoins the subject lot the fence
construction to be completed is that portion or portions of the subject lot's line or lines adjoining
the abutting lot line or lines of the adjacent lot or lots on which a building permit is taken.
Provision shall be made in the contract for continued trust retention and interest-bearing until the

case may be.
Where a lot has been occupied by a business or industrial use prior to December 1, 1971, and

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
February 4, 2002
AGENDA ITEM: Ordinance readopting Corpus Christi City Code Sections 33-40, 33-41, 33-42,
and 33-42.1 relating to the curfew for minors.
ISSUE: The 1995 legislature added a new Section 370.002 to the Local Government Code that
requires a city, on the third anniversary of its juvenile curfew ordinance and every third year
thereafter, to review the ordinance's effects on the community and on problems the ordinance was
intended to remedy, to hold public hearings on the need to continue the ordinance, and to determine
whether to abolish, continue, or modify the ordinance.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Section 370.002 (b) of the Local Government Code provides
that failure to act in accordance with Section 370.002 shall cause the ordinance to expire.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: Our curfew ordinance was last reviewed by City Council in
February, 1999.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: Staffrecommends readopting the ordinance.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Corpus Christi has had a curfew ordinance since the 1950's, generally restricting minors (under
17) from being in a public place between the hours of 11:00 PM and 6:00 AM. The ordinance was
amended in 1991 to update it in accordance with current court decisions. This mainly involved
ciari~ing exceptions to tlae ordinance Ire exceptions permit a juvenile to be in a public place
durin~ curfew hours for legitimate reasons such as attendance at activities sponsored by civic
organizations, employment, an emergency, or while accompanied by a parent or person over 21
with the parent's consent.
In 1994, the ordinance was amended to include a daytime curfew from 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM on
school days, which was designed to complement truancy laws. The ordinance was amended in
1995 to expand the daytime juvenile curfew from 2:30 PM to 4:00 PM. A student violates the
daytime curfew if he is not in school when he is supposed to be during the specified hours. The
curfew ordinance also prohibits a parent from permitting their child to violate curfew, prohibits
any person fi'om inducing or assisting a minor to violate curfew, and prohibits an establishment
from permitting minors to remain on the premises in violation of curfew
In June of 1996 the Police Department began a stepped up enforcement program of the evening
curfew. During 1996 the number of curfew violations issued reached a high of 2,755 with 82%
issued for violations during the evening hours. In 2001 the number of violations issued was 1,128
with 81% issued for evening hours violation, l Attachment A displays the history of violations since
1996.
The Police Department believes the curfew ordinance serves as a very valuable tool for law
enforcement in curbing juvenile crime. The total number ofiuvenile arrests has decreased from 2,852
in 1994 (pre nighttime curfew) to 1,005 in 2001. From 1994 to 2001, juvenile arrests for violent
crimes (Homicide, Rape, Robbery, Aggravated Assault) decreased 55% from 135 to 61 and non-
violent crimes (Burglar3', Larceny/Theft, Motor Vehicle Theft) decreased 64% from 772 to 276.
Attachment B displays the history of juvenile arrests for Crimes Against Persons and Crimes Against
Property.
Overall, the effectiveness of the curfew ordinance is evident through these arrests statistics and in the
overall reduction of crime involving juvenile offenders.

AN ORDINANCE
CONTINUING THE CURFEW ORDINANCE FOR MINORS, CORPUS CHRISTI
CITY CODE SECTIONS 33-40, 33-41, 33-42, AND 33-42.1., AND DECLARING AN
EMERGENCY.
WHEREAS the City Council of the City of Corpus Christi has previously adopted
ordinances relating to curfews for minors which are found at 33-40, 33-41, 33-42 and 33-42.1
of the Corpus Christi City Code; and
WHEREAS, as provided in Section 370.002 of the Texas Local Government Code,
the City Council must review the curfew ordinance every three years to determine whether the
ordinance should be abolished, continued or modified; and
WI:rE~REAS Corpus Christi continues to experience juvenile violence, juvenile crime
and juvenile gang activity, resulting in juveniles being involved in a range of unacceptable
behavior including vandalism, assaults, public drinking and littering, drug use and burglaries;
and
WHEREAS persons under 17 years of age are particularly susceptible by their lack of
maturity and experience to participate in unlawful and potentially harmful activities, and to be
victims of other perpetrators of crime, and Corpus Christi has no more important resource
than its young people; and
WHEREAS lack of parental supervision and guidance contributes to unacceptable
levels of juvenile violence, crime and gang activity, and parental responsibility needs to be
supported; and
WHEREAS attendance at school by minors is vital to the community because it helps
prepare children to be responsible citizens, and a curfew during school hours reduces
distractions and alternatives which induce non-attendance and activities detrimental to minors
and to the community, and complements laws compelling school attendance and discourages
violations of those laws; and
WHEREAS it is necessary for the City of Corpus Christi to exercise its authority to
protect minors from each other and other persons, to promote parental control and
responsibility for children, to supplement state truancy laws; to protect the general public, and
to reduce juvenile criminal and delinquent activities; and
WHEREAS the City Council determines, pursuant to the above findings, that the
pu. blic health and safety demands continuation of the ordinances establishing curfews for
minors.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS, THAT:
SECTION 1. That the curfew ordinance found at Sections 33-40, 33-41, 33-42, and
33-42.1 of the City Code of Ordinances is hereby continued.
SECTION 2. That upon written request of the Mayor or five Council members, copy
attached, the City Council (1) finds and declares an emergency due to the need for immediate
action necessary for the efficient and effective administration of City affairs, and (2) suspends
the Charter rule that requires consideration of an voting upon ordinances at two regular

ISSUE: Advanced technology is enabling government to improve customer service,
increase operational efficiencies, and promote economic development. On-line information
and electronic transactions, including payment processes, have become a standard for
effective communication and interaction with the public. To take advantage of the
opportunities now available through external providers, City staff completed a formal
process to select Texas Local Interactive, Inc. to provide E-Government services for the
city.
BACKGROUND:
Technology growth, business investment and adoption of technology, and growth in the
adoption of the Internet by citizens and consumers have changed expectations of citizens,
businesses, government and visitors. According to a February 2002 report, "A Nation
Online: How Americans Are Expanding Their Use of the Internet," which was recently
released by the federal government, the rate of growth of Internet use in the United States
is currently two million new Internet users per month.
To address this growing interest in online services, City staff conducted a comprehensive
selection process for an external provider, beginning with surveys and focus groups,
distributing a Request for Information, conducting formal interviews and reviews, and
checking references. City staff selected Texas Local Interactive, Inc., which will provide
the City with flexible funding, interfacing with backend systems, hardware and technical
expertise, and security.
The four initial applications are priority areas identified by citizens in a June 2001 survey.
The only application with an automation fee for users will be traffic and parking fine
payments. Following implementation of a backend system in the Building Inspections
division, the building permit application process also will go on-line, with a user automation
fee. The costs for implementation include development fees to Texas Local Interactive and
Bank Transaction (credit card) Fees.
FUNDING: Funds for this project are available through a user automation fee for
parking/traffic fine payments and through the FY2001-02 adopted Operating Budget in the
Water, Wastewater, and Gas Departments fo:- the utility bill payment, and General Fund
P-Card rebates in Solid Waste Services for the utility bill payment, Park and Recreation for
the basketball registration, and Human Resources for the job application.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Staff recommends approval of the motion as presented.
