Mayor Neal asked Assistant City Manager Jorge Cruz-Aedo to inform the Council about the
city's bond ratings. Mr. Cruz-Aedo explained that on August 8 and 9, 2002, the city sent a delegation
of city staff, the Mayor and two Council members to New York City to visit with the three rating
agencies the city has used on bond issues as well as four bond insurance companies. He said the
meetings were sucoessful: Fitch Rating Agency continued the city's AA- rating with a stable outlook;
Standard and Poor's issued the city an A+ with a stable outlook; and Moody's issued an A2 rating,
which is an upgrade from the previous A3. He that rating will apply to the refunding bonds (Item 30
on the day's agenda) as well as all the bonds outstanding that are contracted to the city.
Mr. Cmz-Aedo said that some of the reasons Moody's gave for the city's upgraded bond
rating were that management continued to be active in the development of water supply resources;
they are updating the city's infrastructure; and are pursuing the utilities' mengineering effort.
Moody's also cited the city's ongoing economic development programs.
Responding to Mayor Neal, Mr. Cruz-Aedo said this upgrade has the potential of $500,000
in savings over the 20-year 1 ifc o f the bonds. In addition, refunding options may add another
$500,000 to $1 million in savings. The Mayor said he thinks this is a great example of city leaders
recognizing there are serious problems, putting into place plans to correct them, and having the
political courage and staffleadership to carry those plans out. Council Member Scott said he was a
member of the bond delegation and he complimented the Mayor and city staff for their efforts.

Wreckers. City Manager G arcia explained t hat several Council m embers, particularly Council
Member Garrett, had asked staff to look into problems of abuses by some wrecker companies
regarding tows from private property. He said that recent changes in the law now allow the city to
better regulate the wrecker industry. Mr. Garcia noted that this public hearing is not required by the
ordinance but staffwanted to give people the opportunity to make comments about the proposals.
Mr. Steve Zastrow, Police Department Legal Advisor, explained that the wrecker ordinance
was primarily written in 1988 and revised in 1993 when fees were set. He said staff felt this was a
good time to review the entire ordinance in light of the many recent complaints and the changes in
the law and update it as needed. He said Corpus Christi's ordinance is unique in that the city is
required to notify wrecker companies of any pending changes. He said that last week staff met with
22 industry representatives and received much input from them. After considering their concerns,
staff will be make a final proposal to the Council. Mayor Neal called for public comment.
Mr. Roland Mat~inez said he owns a wrecker company in Robstown and he does not service
private property impounds in the City of Corpus Christi. He questioned how these proposed changes
will affect his business. He added that he was not notified about this issue.
Council Member Garrett asked if this ordinance will be applicable throughout the area.
Assistant Police Chief Ken Bung said staff is proposing that any wrecker companies which pick up
or drop offvehicles in Corpus Christi be required to have a permit. However, the existing ordinance
does not include that requirement.
Ms. Elva Sanehez said she works with a wrecker service in Kingsville and Robstown and she
also questioned how the ordinance will impact her business.
Mr. Carlos Galvan, of Victoria Auto Recovery, said he is in the repossession business and
wondered how the changes will affect him.
Mr. Garrett asked if staff surveyed other cities about their similar ordinances. Assistant Chief
Bung replied that staff is in the process of obtaining that information. He said the proposal would
not include companies which drive through the city limits with vehicles but rather those that pick
up and drop off in the city limits.
Council Member Noyola said he thinks this proposal is bad business for companies that are
not located in Corpus Christi. Mr. Garcia said staff has received complaints about non-Corpus
Christi wrecker companies involving excessive charges and abusive practices. Responding to Mr.
Noyola, Assistant Chief Bung said they are aware of problems with two out-of-tom companies. He
added that at this time staff does not have a recommendation regarding the repossession companies.
Ms. Stella Cano, of Texas Wrecker Service, said they have been in business for 38 years. She
said she does not think that requiring a permit will solve the problem; rather, the city should put a
cap on the private property impound (PPI) fees. She said that raising the wrecker companies' fees
will in turn increase customers' costs.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
August 20, 2002 - Page 11
Mr. Garrett asked if the PPIs can be capped. Assistant Chief Bung said staff believes they can
cap what a company charges for a non-consent tow. He said some of the wrecker companies
recommended costs ofbetwecn $85 and $125; however, a final decision has not yet been made. He
said companies have indicated that non-consent tows are their most risky tows. He said right now
the city does not regulate that fee at all.
Mr. Zastrow said that currently the city has a cap of $50 on rotation-list tows, whereby the
Police Department summons wrecker companies based upon their position on the list. On the other
hand, the city currently does not regulate the prices that can be charged for PPIs, which are non-
consent tows from parking lots and private property where the owner is calling in his own wrecker.
However, federal law does allow a city to set a maximum fee for any tow in a non-consent situation.
He said the wrecker companies emphasized the large mount of risk and liability associated with
PPIS, which they feel should jnstify charging a higher fee than a rotation-list tow. Mr. Noyola asked
why the private propen'y owner is not required to also pay a fee in a PPI situation. Mr. Zastrow said
that the vehicle is basically trespassing on the private property. Mr. Garcia added that the city can
only deal with tows that are in the public rights-of-way.
Mr. Garrett asked Mr. Galvan what he would do if the vehicle owner arrived while his car
was being towed. Mr. Galvan replied that he does not work for the public but only does
repossessions. He said he does not have a fight to tow someone's car unless there is a lien against
it or unless a police officer is directing him to do so. Mr. Gareia said the ordinance addresses that
situation by including a $35 "drop" fee.
Mr. Joe Dees, owner of Statewide Wrecker, said his company has been in business for 30
years. He said a lot of private property towing in Corpus Christi is of abandoned vehicles and that
is less than 5% of many companies' business. He said tow trucks are specialized motor carriers and
are heavily regulated by the state. He said he agrees with some oftha out-of-town companies that
this will increase customers' costs. Instead, there are other ways to control abuses and he and others
are willing to work with staffto do so.
Mr. Noyola made a motion to close the public hearing, seconded by Mr. Kinnison, and
passed. Mr. Garrett asked staff to pursue the issue of the cap on charges.
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 30, utilities system revenue refunding and
improvement bonds. Ms. Lee AnnDumbauld, Director of Finance, explained that this allows the city
to issue up to a total of $130 million in bonds to be used as follows: pay offcommercial paper, $42
million; refund existing utility system revenue bonds, approximately $30 million; provide new funds,
approximately $54 million; and cover the bond issuance costs, approximately $1.6 million. She said
the true interest cost overall is about 4.4% but the city has not yet reached its target of 3% in present
value savings on the refunded portion. She said this ordinance gives the city the flexibility up to
September 20t~ to price the bonds on the most appropriate day. Mayor Neal called for comments.
Mr. J.E. O'Brien, said he was concerned that the Council knows what they are doing when
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
August 20, 2002 - Page 12
they approve this ordinance. He said the support material has been very scarce, including a list of
what bonds are being refunded and the projects to be funded with the $53.6 million. Mayor Neal said
that money is to fund the city's capital improvement program (CIP).
Mr. Mark Seal, of M.E. Allison (the city's financial advisor), said the bonds they are looking
to refund are approximately $20,245,000 of the Series 2000A bonds; $1.7 million of the Series 1994
and $5.2 million of Series 1994A. He said they were thinking of going into the market today but the
treasury market yields are low at this time. However, they feel the rates will come back in the next
few days to achieve the 3% value savings. If they do not, they will wait until the prices are better.
City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:

continuing with the Bond 2000 projects which are included in the CIP program, as is the McArdle
Road project. He said this action involves eight of the 16 parcels of land that will be acquired.
Council Member Garrett said this project will be a great improvement in that area. He asked
about potential problems with the other eight land acquisitions. Mr. Escobar said staff is approaching
it in a very diligent manner and have shared the appraisals with each of the property owners. He said
at this point he does not think they will have to go to condemnation. Mr. Garrett asked about the time
line and Mr. Escobar said they set aside 14 months for the land acquisition and are currently ahead

Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 36, setting the tax rate. Ms. Dumbauld said this action
coincides with the rate that the Council adopted in the budget, which is 46 cents for maintenance and
operation and 18.5 cents for principal and interest on debt service. Council Member Kinnison asked
if this is the same tax rate as last year, and Ms. Dumbauld replied affirmatively. The Mayor called
for public comment.
Mr. J.E. O'Brien said he was opposed to Item 36. He said if the Council adopts this tax rate,
the city will receive $2,559,509 more than it received last year. He said if the city was to adopt the
effective tax rote, which is about 2 cents less, the city would still receive an additional $643,094. He
said that under state law the city is required to publish the effective tax rate calculation. As part of
that, the city published a listing of the bonds to be paid fi.om property taxes. However, he said the
published debt service of$15.5 million does not match the figures in the ordinance of $22.2 million,
which is a difference of $7 million. Mr. O'Brien also questioned the fund balance amounts and he
said there is a difference in the debt rate, which he described.
Ms. Dumbauld said the first item that Mr. O'Brien referred to has to do with the issuance of
certificates of obligation and self-supporting debt. She said she would have to meet with him
personally to reconcile each of the other numbers he mentioned. Responding to Council Member
Noyola, Ms. Dumbauld said she believes the city's numbers reconcile with the requirements of what
is in the code for the calculation of the effective tax rate. She said she did not know the source of Mr.
O'Brien's figures. Mr. Cmz-Aedo said the city followed the truth in taxation requirements. Council
Member Kinnison asked if staff is standing behind the numbers that were published by the city, and
Ms. Dumbauld replied affirmatively. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes:
36. FIRST READING ORDINANCE
Ordinance prescribing the taxes to be levied, assessed, and collected by the City of Corpus
Christi, Texas for tax year 2002, and for each succeeding year thereafter until otherwise
provided and ordained and such other years as the same may be applicable.
The foregoing ordinance passed on first reading as follows: Neal, Chesney, Garrett, Kelly,
Kinuison, Longoria, and Scott voting "Aye"; Noyola voting "No"; Colmenero absent.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
August 20, 2002 - Page 18
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 37, animals in KidsPlace. Council Member Longoria
commented on the need for that ordinance. He also said the city needs to find a way to prevent
people from driving their ears onto the grass at Cole Park. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council:
37. FIRST READING ORDINANCE
Ordinance amending the City Code of Ordinances, Chapter 36, by adding new Section 36-10,
Animals in Cole Park, prohibiting a person from allowing an animal within their custody or
control to enter the KidsPlace Playground located within Cole Park; providing for penalties;
and providing for an effective date.
The foregoing ordinance passed on first reading by the following vote: Neal, Chesney,
Garrett, Kinnison, Longoria, Noyola, and Scott voting "Aye"; Colmenero and Kelly absent.
Mayor Neal called for a brief recess. Upon reconvening, he opened discussion on Item 38
regarding the election date for proposed charter amendments. City Attorney Bray explained that his
memo in the agenda packet cites Section 9.004Co) of the Texas Local Government Code, which
basically says that when there is a petition for a charter amendment (as applicable in this case), the
Council has the option of putting it on the next uniform election date or upon the next general
municipal election date. Consequently, the Council has a choice to put the proposed charter
amendments on the ballot for November 5, 2002 or April 5, 2003.
The Mayor asked City Secretary Chapa to provide an update on the strong-mayor charter
amendment. Mr. Chapa replied that that petition was submitted and verified to have the requisite
number of signatures, so it will have to be put on the ballot in either November or April. He said that
yesterday a petition was submitted by Plan Our Waterfront (POW) and his staff has begun the
verification process, which should take 10 to 12 business days to complete. He said if that petition
meets the requirements, it will also have to be put on the ballot in November or April.
Mayor Neal then asked City Manager Garcia to discuss a letter he received dated August 19,
2002 fi.om Landry's Restaurants Inc. Mr. Garcia said city staff have been in active negotiations with
Landry's officials and their target date to complete a memorandum of understanding 0VIOLI) for the
marina redevelopment project was the end of August. He said atler the POW group delivered their
petitions regarding the lease terms allowed on the waterfront, Landry's officials felt that action
brought into question the whole viability of their agreement. He said their letter indicated they were
going to suspend negotiations with the city until the issue of whether or not they would be able to
have a lease was resolved.
Mr. Garcia added that Landry's representatives were still very supportive of the project but
they did not want to be the focal point of the discussion; i.e., they did not want the referendum to be
about Landry's but rather about whether Corpus Christi wants to have economic development.
Landry's officials also said that if the proposed charter amendment is defeated, they will be willing
to pick up negotiations to conclude the transaction. But if the proposal succeeds, there will be no
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
August 20, 2002 - Page 19
need to continue. Mr. Garcia said he spoke to Mr. Tilman Fertitta, CEO of Landiy's, and asked him
to stay with the city, but the negotiations are in suspense at this point.
Mr. Michael Terry, a local attorney and member of the negotiating team, said that Landry's
was extremely interested in making this project work but they want the POW referendum to be
resolved before they continue their negotiations. He said he thought the MOU was about 95%
complete before the petition was submitted yesterday. Mayor Neal called for public comment.
Mr. Bill Kopecky, 3609 Topeka, said their petition does not use the words "strong-mayor"
but rather "mayor-council" form of government. He said he also disagrees with Mr. Bray's
interpretation of the section of the code on when an election can be held after a petition is filed for
charter amendment. He urged the Council members to put their issue on the November ballot
because it is time-sensitive. He explained that the purpose of their charter amendment language was
to give the city a full 2V2 years to appoint a charter revision commission to come up with other
detailed changes in the charter that would be necessary to implement a mayor-council form of
government. However, if it is placed on the April 2003 ballot and it passes, then the mayor who takes
office in 2005 would be a chief executive officer with only a $9,000 salary because the next
opportunity to amend the charter atter that would be May, a month after the new Council and Mayor
take office in 2005. Mr. Kopecky also urged them to keep the discussion of this to the issues and not
to scare tactics.
Mr. Jack Gordy, 4118 Bray, said he concurs with Mr. Kopecky about putting the charter
amendment issue on the November ballot. He referred to the firefighters' petition a few months ago
and said that a majority of the Council was against a pay raise for the firefighters until they obtained
the necessary number of signatures. He said the reason for these petitions is because the people of
Corpus Christi are unhappy. He said if the Council waits until April, it will be a slap in the face to
the people. He also commented on requesting Attorney General's opinions.
Mayor Neal replied that the majority of the Council was not against the firefighters receiving
a raise; rather, they were opposed to the amount of the increase the firefighters were asking for and
the manner in which they were doing it.
Mr. Abel Alonzo, 1701 Thames, said he signed the strong-mayor petition because he believes
in choice. He said it is very obvious that some people in the community are not satisfied. However,
as one of the original plaintiffs, he said he is concerned how that form of government will affect the
Council single-member districts. He also questioned whether the city will pay the Mayor and Council
the money they deserve if they are full-time representatives. Without adequate compensation, only
the rich and/or retired will be able to afford to mn for office. He urged the Council to put the issue
on the November ballot. He questioned whether the city will be able to continue to grow and he
discussed the perception issue.
Mr. J.E. O'Brien urged the Council to place both proposals on the November ballot. He said
over 20,000 people have indicated an interest in some kind of a change on something having to do
with city affairs. Council Member Scott questioned Mr. O'Brien's statement that 20,000 people had
signed the petitions and he asked whether Mr. O'Brien had signed both petitions. Mr. O'Brien
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
August 20, 2002 - Page 20
replied that he signed both. He said there were 9,600 signatures on the Taxpayers Association's
strong-mayor petition and over 12,000 signatures on the POW petition. He said he did not say they
were different people who signed the petitions. Council Member Chesney said he was tired of the
banter between the Council and citizens.
Mr. David Noyola, 909 Marie Circle, asked the Council to place both issues on the ballot and
let the people decide. He said he signed both petitions and he asked if the Yacht Club was exempt
from the proposed charter amendment submitted bythe POW group. Mr. Bray said he thought the
petition language excludes 501(e)(3) organizations and he does not believe the Yacht Club falls
under that section of the Internal Revenue Code. Council Member Noyola asked who owns the land
the Yacht Club sits on and Mr. Garcia replied that the Yacht Club owns it. Mr. David Noyola said
that issue should be addressed before the Council takes action.
Mr. Andy Ficken said he is a member of POW and they collected up to 12,000 signatures and
they cefdfied a majority of the names before they submitted the petitions to the City Secretary. He
said the people who signed it are not all against development nor are they all for development-he
said they felt they needed to have a say on this issue. Mr. Ficken said he is a member of the Yacht
Club, which pays the city over $100,000 per year for rental on the submerged lands. He said the club
has not taken a position on POW because it is too political.
Council Member Kinnison asked if the Yacht Club is a 501(c)(3) organization and Mr.
Ficken said he is not sure. Council Member Kelly asked why that exclusion was included in the
ballot referendum. Mr. Ficken said he did not know why nor does he know who drafted the language.
Mr. Kelly asked if it was possible that people from the Yacht Club who were active in the POW
group purposefully excluded their own organization. Mr. Ficken said they would not do that.
Mr. Kinnison made a motion to direct staffto put the strong-mayor petition on the November
5, 2002 ballot and, subject to the certification by the City Secretary's Office, that the POW petition
also be placed on the November ballot. The motion was seconded by Mr. Chesney.
Mr. Kinnison said it is crucial for all the Council members to take an active role in the
November election because it is a very crowded ballot. He said they need to get factual information
to the voters because of the misinformation in the POW's ads and comments made by supporters and
members of the POW group. He said this is not about whether the Council gets re-elected next April.
He said it is extremely impo~lant to pass the 1/8-cent sales taxes for the Crime Control District and
the economic development initiatives and to defeat both of the charter amendments.
Mr. Chesney said he seconded Mr. Kiunison's motion because they have worked very hard
to open the government up and allow people to spend hours discussing all the issues. He said he
strongly supports putting the issues on the ballot and he added that these are monumental choices.
He said he hopes the citizens take the issues very seriously and he asked about other housekeeping
charter amendments.
Council Member Scott said he thinks November will be a watershed moment in Corpus
Christi's history. He said that being able to put opportunities for greater public family entertainment
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
August 20, 2002 - Page 21
on the T-Heads will be beneficial. He cited a recent Sports Illustrated article about Nolan Ryan that
noted Mr. Ryan's attempts to bring a minor league team to Corpus Christi. He said if the voters
approve the sales tax initiatives the city's furore will never have been brighter.
Council Member Noyola said he wanted to get more information about the POW's petition
regarding the Yacht Club. Responding to a question from Mr. Noyola, Mr. Bray said the charter
amendment itself will be their language while the Council selects the ballot language. Mr. Noyola
said he will be very disappointed with the POW people if they intend to exclude the Yacht Club from
the charter amendment.
Mr. Garcia reiterated that the land the Yacht Club building sits on is owned by that
organization; the boat slips and the piers are leased from the city and they have a five-year lease on
those slips. Council Member Longoria said the purpose of the Landry's development is to improve
the marina's infrastructure and provide entertainment for the general public, but the POW petition,
if successful, will create a buffer around the Yacht Club and prohibit such development.
Mayor Neal asked if it was also part of Mr. Kinnison's motion that the Council place no other
charter amendments on the ballot; Mr. Kinnison replied affirmatively. The Mayor said the two
charter amendments serve very special interests. He said he thinks it is unconscionable that a group
like the Taxpayers Association, who come to City Hall demanding to know the particulars of every
issue, would tell the voters to just trust them regarding the details of the strong-mayor government.
Mr. Kopecky made comments from his seat and the Mayor told him he was out of order.
The Mayor went on to say that some people think the city's government is out of control and
yet the rating agencies and others seem to think that the government is pretty much under control.
He said there are people who circulated petitions but do not know what the petitions say and cannot
answer questions about them. He said he hopes the Council can bring the two charter amendment
issues to the public in such a way as to leave personalities out of the debate and let people vote based
on the facts. He said this is a critical time in the city and he noted that the Council voted
unanimously to proceed with the Landry's negotiations.
Council Member Garrett said he was bom and raised in Corpus Christi and he is convinced
that when thc citizens get the facts on these issues, they will vote to defeat the POW and strong-
mayor petitions. He said the petition supporters have not been able to answer questions about them.
He said the city needs economic development and the Crime Control District.
Mr. Chapa polled the Council on Mr. Kinnison's motion and it passed as follows: Neal,
Chesney, Garrett, Kelly, Kinnison, Longoria, Noyola, and Scott voting "Aye"; Colmenero absent.
Mayor Neal called for petitions from the audience.
Mr. Jack Gordy said there are political signs still standing of candidates who are not nmning
in the November general election which are violating state law. He said those violators are not being
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
August 20, 2002 - Page 22
held accountable by the Council. He also said he still has not received a verifiable answer as to why
they cannot have a choice on the ballot for the location of a baseball stadium.
Mr. Phil Rosenstein said the statement on the agenda regarding Council meeting decorum
let~ out the phrase in the Code of Ordinances that says, '°these rules are not meant to restrain a
citizen's First Amendment rights." He said the agenda statement is unconstitutional and should be
removed. He also referred to a definition of the word "accused" and said he aeouses the Council of
intimidating and trying to restrain citizens' First Amendment right of free speech.
Mr. Daniel Vera asked for flexibility regarding Mr. P.S. Vera's attempt to have his business
rezoned. He said somehow a portion of the plat fee was not paid, which would require Mr. Vera to
start the process over. Mayor Neai asked staffto look into that situation and Council Member Noyola
requested the information since the business is located in his district.
Mr. $.E. O'Brien said today the Council spent in excess of $14 million and there were not
very many questions asked. He said if there were people circulating petitions who could not answer
questions, it seems to him that that is similar to city staff, who also cannot answer questions.
Mr. Gart Bowling said he lives on Padre Island and was one of the people circulating the
POW petition regarding marina leases. He said 14 out of 15 people he spoke to were very
enthusiastic about the petition. He said there are many other people who want to do their civic duty.
Mr. Abel Alonzo said he was also bom and raised in Corpus Christi. He said he signed both
of the charter amendment petitions because people were told they were going to have a choice.
However, he said he is now going to oppose both petitions because they were misleading from the
very beginning and cater to the elite. He agreed that they cannot let personalities enter the debate and
he will work hard to bring out the facts. He said he wants economic development to continue in
Corpus Christi to benefit everyone, particularly young people.
Mr. John Holmgreen said the POW petition specifically mentions 501 (c)(3) corporations so
that those that have a special tax status as charitable corporations, such as the Texas State Aquarium
or the U.S.S. Lexington Museum on the Bay, would be exempted from the scope of the petition's
amendment. He also said the Corpus Christi Yacht Club is not a 501(c)(3) corporation but rather is
a Texas not-for-profit corporation and is treated under the Internal Revenue Code as a private club,
a 501(c)(7) organization.
Mayor Neal called for the City Manager's report. Mr. Garcia said that next week the Council
has a joint luncheon meeting at noon with the Crime Control District board, followed bythe regular
Council meeting. Mayor Neal called for Council concerns and reports.
Mr. Garrett asked about the status of the Louisiana Parkway revitalization effort. Mr. Dan
Whitwortth Director of Park and Recreation, said staff submitted a draft use privilege agreement to
the organization working on that revitalization and will meet with them next week to discuss it.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
August 20, 2002 - Page 23
Mr. Chesney said a town hall meeting will soon be held in District 1. He said they had a
productive first Friends of the Park meeting in August and will have another one on September 4t~
at 5:30 p.m. Mr. Noyola asked staff to contact the Regional Transportation Authority about providing
route maps and transfer area information to the bus riders.
Mr. Scott passed on a letter to Mr. Garcia from a constituent and he asked about the status
of the traffic light on Saratoga by American Bank. Mr. Escobar said the bid package is being
prepared and it should be out for bids in mid-September with award to follow the next month. He
said it takes six months to get the equipment. Mr. Kelly asked if the bid package will include all four
of the remaining intersections fi.om the Bond 2000 package, and Mr. Escobar said it will. Mr. Scott
also quoted from the statements Moody's bond rating agency made about the city's rating upgrade.
Mr. Kelly said the Council addressed monumental issues at their meeting but at the same
time there are many smaller-scale events going on. He reported that Beautify Corpus Christi, in
connection with the 1 ocal Boy Scouts, d id a wonderful j ob in t he L abonte P ark c lean-up 1 ast
weekend. He said another clean-up is scheduled at Northside Manor at 9 a.m. on August 24~.
Mayor Neal said two citizens came in after he closed the public comment portion of the
meeting and he offered them the opportunity to address the Council.
Ms. Dodie Hummell, 304 Topeka, said she is a member of Plan Our Waterfront and she
shares all of their concerns for the marina, which she said is a wet basin for the mooring of boats.
She said there is a growing fear that the negotiations with Landry's will redefine one of Corpus
Christi's purest signatures.
Ms. Marci Taylor, 5 Hewitt, said she was one of the people cimulating the POW petition and
asked if the Council had any questions for her. Mr. Scott asked if any people were paid in that effort.
Ms. Taylor said she was a volunteer and the group was a collection of individual citizens.
Mayor Neal said he inadvertently overlooked Ms. Veatch's name. Ms. Susan Veatch, 4848
Monette, said she also collected signatures for the POW petition and they hired some young people
who needed a lot of training. She emphasized that people from all walks of life felt strongly that they
should have the right to vote on waterfront leases in the marina and Cole Park. She invited the
Council to go on a sailing tour of the marina in the evening. Mr. Longoria said they should include
a driving tour of the marina to view the infxastructure improvements that need to be made.
Mr. James Skrobarcek said he is happy to hear that Landry's is paying attention to what
citizens have to say and he hopes the Council will as well. He said he thinks Mr. Caldwell's letter
appears to be an attempt at persuasion more than a delivery of information, and he questioned
whether it may have involved some conversation with someone sitting at the Council table.
There being no further business to come before the Council, Mayor Neal adjourned the
Council meeting at 5:44 p.m. on August 20, 2002.

OVERVIEW:
BackRround: On November 7, 2000, the City of Corpus Christi held an election to
consider a number of ballot propositions to fund major capital improvements for the
community. This Bond Issue 2000 package included $30.8 million in projects of
Exhibit A
various kinds. The McArdle Street Improvement Project, Bond Issue Project No. C-
6, was included in this package. This project involves reconstruction and widening
2800 linear feet of McArdle Road from Everhart Road to Holmes Ddve as shown on
Exhibit B. This street improvement project also involves the removal of all existing
curbs and gutters, driveways, sidewalks and the construction of a new street, 67
feet wide, to accommodate two moving lanes in each direction and a center left tum
lane. Sidewalks and intersection ramps will comply with ADA requirements. The
installation of an additional storm sewer line, water line, street lighting and other
appurtenances are also included.
Land Acquisition: In order to facilitate the proposed improvements and
accommodate the wider roadway, the complete acquisition of approximately 16
residential properties is required along the south right of way line of McArdle Road.
Prior to negotiations, the parcel was appraised separately by John A. Edckson, SPA
and Marion F. Curington, ASA, both independent contract appraisers. The higher
appraisal value of $58,000 was presented to Ms. Gonzalez for fee simple rights to
the property shown on Exhibit B together with all improvements. Ms Gonzalez
accepted the City's offer and signed a real estate contract for $58,000. At her
request, the contract will be escrowed and closed at Secudty Title Company. She
is also eligible for relocation benefits described below which are not to exceed
$22,500.
Relocation Benefits: On November 28, 1983, the City Council approved
Resolution No. 11809 which adopted the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real
Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970. This resolution establishes the policy for
relocation of homeowners, tenants and businesses, which are displaced as a result
of a City project. Persons occupying the subject property a minimum of 90 days
pdor to the initial offer qualify for assistance. In addition, the displaced person must
be give a minimum of 90 days to move out after replacement housing is found. A
one year time limit is given to obtain replacement housing.
Monetary limits for relocation assistance are set by federal guidelines. A maximum
of $22,500 is available for homeowners, $20,000 for businesses and $5,250 for
tenants which would cover moving expenses and purchase assistance for
replacement housing. For moving expenses, the displaced person would choose
between a self-move or one provided by an independent moving company.
Payment for a self-move would be based on a payment schedule dependent on the
number of rooms in the home or rooms of furniture to be moved.
Purchase assistance would involve purchase pdce differential, mortgage interest
differential, and incidental expenses involved in a replacement home. The purchase
price differential is the difference between the sales price of the home and the cost
of a comparable replacement home. The mortgage interest differential is the
amount needed to cover increased mortgage costs due to a higher interest rate and
other debt service costs. The incidental expenses reimbursement would cover
those extra costs involved in purchasing replacement housing such as closing
costs, inspection fees, appraisal fees, and loan costs.

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
August23,2002
SUBJECT: Interconnection of Cable Operatom for PEG Broadcasts
AGENDA ITEM: Motion approving the interconnection between Texas Cable Partners
L.P. (Time Warner) and Grande Communications, Inc. (formerly ClearSource) to
cablecast the public, education and government access channels.
ISSUE: During discussions on the revisions to the Master Cable Services Regulatory
Ordinance, renewal of the Time Warner cable franchise agreement, and modifications to
the ClearSource/Grande cable franchise agreement, a number of public access users
indicated that providing two program tapes was cumbersome. During negotiations with the
cable operators, the preference of City staffwas to establish interconnectivity between the
two cable companies.
Time Warner and Grande have agreed to interconnect the public, education and
government (PEG) access channels. Under the agreement, Time Warner will transmit the
signals of all PEG access channels directly to Grande. Grande and Time Warner will
cablecast the channels to their respective subscribers. Interconnectivity of the two cable
operators for broadcast of PEG access channel programming eliminates the need for
duplicate tapes. Access programmers will provide only one tape, and the programs will be
cablecast on both cable companies' access channels.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Section 6.2 M of the ClearSource/Grande franchise
states:
Instead of providing playback equipment for the public access channels and
government channel and connecting to the demarcation points for the
educational and governmental access channels, ClearSource (now Grande)
may negotiate with the incumbent cable operator (Time Warner) for feed to
cablecast these channels to ClearSource/Grande subscribers, subject to City
approval of the final negotiation, such approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Time Warner and Grande Communications
interconnection agreement for broadcast of the public, ed ucation and government access
programming.

ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
BACKGROUND:
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) through the Texas Department of Human
Service (TDHS) provides grants for youth nutrition as a continuation of the National School
Lunch Program. This program is called the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) for
after school educational and/or enrichment activities. In order to qualify for this program, a
site must:
a) provide youth with regularly scheduled activities in an organized, structured and
supervised environment
b) include educational and/or enrichment activities as part of the programming
c) site must be located in an area served by a school where 50% or more of the youth
enrolled are eligible for free or reduced price school meals
The Park and Recreation Department has 28 Latchkey sites and 5 Recreation Centers that
qualify. (Agenda Item A). Sites to be served are: T.C. Ayers Recreation Center, Joe Garza
Recreation Center, Lindale Recreation Center, Oso Recreation Center, Oak Park Recreation
Center, Ben Garza Gym, Casa Linda Elementary, Fannin Elementary, Houston Elementary,
Meadowbrook Elementary, Menger Elementary, Carroll Lane Elementary, Central Park
Elementary, Galvan Elementary, Kostoryz Elementary, Moore Elementary, Sanders
Elementary, Smith Elementary, Yeager Elementary, Calk Elementary, Chula Vista
Elementary , Crocket Elementary, Gamia Elementary, Los Encinos Elementary, Montclair
Elementary, Oak Park Elementary, Schanen Elementary, Wilson Elementary, Woodlawn
Elementary, Windsor Park Elementary, West Oso Elementary, Flour Bluff Intermediate,
Flour Bluff Primary and Flour Bluff Early Childhood Center.
There are 4 sites that do not qualify for this program based on enrollment of youth eligible for
free and reduced school meals. These sites are Dawson Elementary, Mireles Elementary,
Jones Elementary and Club Estates Elementary. However, to maintain the consistency and
quality of the Latchkey program, these sites will be provided an afternoon snack. Cost for
these sites will be paid from already designated funds.
Over the past few years, the City and CCISD have entered into local interagency agreements
for the preparation and delivery of meals to the sites with the Summer Food Service
Program. The City again proposes to enter into a contract with CCISD to prepare and deliver
snacks at a rate of $.45 per snack for the school year beginning August 19, 2002-May 29,
2003. CCISD will also maintain and provide menu preparation records. The snack consists
of fruitJvegetable, milk/juice and dessert. It is estimated that approximately 2,755 youth per
day will be served after school snacks. At each site, city staff will verify daily snack counts
and distribute snacks to youth. Total program costs are to be provided by the State's
reimbursement. No City funds will be utilized for this program to qualifying sites, but an
ordinance is necessary to appropriate the grant of $283,084 in order to implement the
program. CCISD has approved the food service agreement.

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
City Council Meeting on August 20, 2002
AGENDA ITEM:
An ordinance prohibiting a person from allowing an animal within their custody or control to
enter the KidsPlace playground located within Cole Park; providing for penalties; providing for
an effective date; providing for severance; and providing for publication.
ISSUE:
According to Section 6-20 of the City of Corpus Christi Code of Ordinances, all animals
shall be kept under restraint by either a leash or lead. This is particularly true of animals
in public places. Currently leashed animals are allowed to enter the confines of the
playground area at Cole Park designated as KidsPlace. Although ordinances exist
regarding the removal of fecal matter deposited by animals brought to public areas,
there is no ordinance dealing with other animal waste.
KidsPlace is a large, mostly wooden, playground. There are areas where children crawl
around, slide, and generally come into close contact with both the ground and the
structure of the facilities. Leashed animals may come into contact with these areas
consequently children can come in contact with these deposits. The proposed
ordinance, designed to prohibit even leashed animals from being within the playground
area, will help to prevent children from being exposed to potential contact with animal
waste.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION:
City Council must approve all new ordinances.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the ordinance be approved.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
BACKGROUND:
KidsPlace is a large playground in Cole Park. It is a facility that is very popular among
families with small children. The playground is designed with slides, swings, climbing
areas and all manner of ways for children to play safely on and with the facilities. Since
the facilities are constructed primarily of wood and are designed specifically for children
to play all over them, the children come in contact with virtually every aspect of the
construction from the ground up.
People using the facilities at KidsPlace have been able to bring their leashed pets to the
park and to bring those pets onto the playground facilities. As a result, the animals may
deposit their waste within the playground use area. Children may come into contact with
the results. If pet ownem are prohibited from bringing animals into or on the playground
facilities, then children will not be exposed to the unsanitary animal by-products.

KEEP TEXAS BEAUTIFUL ANNOUNCES
ENVIRONMENTAL EXCELLENCE AWARD WINNERS
Nine Texas Cities Win Governor's Community Achievement Awards
(Austin, Texas) - The 527 residents of tiny Balmorhea in west Texas and the
nearly 280,000 residents of the gulf coast city of Corpus Christi, finally have
something in common. They are among the nine winning Texas communities who have
achieved excellence through litter prevention, beautification programs and
minimizing solid waste. As a result of their winning efforts, they will share a
$1 million landscaping prize as winners of Keep Texas Beautiful's Governor's
Community Achievement Awards.
The winners of the 2001-2002 awards include Balmorhea, Breckenridge, Corpus
Christi, Lufkin, Muenster, Southlake, Sugar Land, Taylor, and Waco. This marks
the 33rd consecutive year for the Governor's Community Achievement Awards. The
prestigious awards have been funded by the Texas Department of Transportation
since 1986. The awards are presented to communities in nine population
categories that have the best grassroots environmental programs in the state.
The one million dollar prize is designated for landscaping along state-
maintained highways. "This is an extremely exciting time for those involved with
the efforts of Keep Texas Beautiful," said Bill Rogers, President of KTB. "More
than 325 communities in this state operate local grassroots programs that are
affiliated with Keep Texas Beautiful. To be one of the nine winning communities
is quite an honor." "It's amazing to see the breadth of their programs. These
cities are tackling major concerns such as illegal dumping, litter prevention
and ongoing community improvement projects. At KTB, we have realized that
communities with highly effective programs have done so with comprehensive
public, private and civic partnerships. It's a winning formula that each of
these communities has displayed."
In addition to the Governor's Com/nunity Achievement Awards, Keep Texas Beautiful
presents more than 40 awards to individuals, businesses, youth and civic groups
and government entities for their outstanding contributions to help keep Texas
beautiful. KTB, a leading grassroots environmental organization, is recognizing
the efforts by individuals and organizations for their commitment to:
litter prevention and cleanup
illegal dumping and enforcement
solid waste management
community beautification and improvement
The awards will be formally presented to all the winners during the Keep Texas
Beautiful 35th Annual Convention in San Antonio, July 9-12, 2002 at the Marriott
Riverwalk Hotel.
Keep Texas Beautiful, the nonprofit state affiliate of Keep America Beautiful,
strives to empower Texans through education to take responsibility for enhancing
their community's environment. KTB works with volunteers, elected officials,
businesses and state and federal agencies to ensure that every Texan has the
opportunity to take individual responsibility for making Texas the cleanest,
most beautiful state in the nation. For more information on programs and events,

AGENDA ITEM:
Presentation by Solid Waste Services regarding the Landfill expansion plans.
CITY STAFF PRESENTER (S):
Ronald F. Massey, Assistant City Manager
Jeffrey D. Kaplan, Director, Solid Waste Services
Lawrence Mikolajczyk, Assistant Director, Solid Waste Services
Issue: On May 21st, 2002, Solid Waste Services was tasked by City Council to investigate the
possible expansion of the J. C. Elliott Landfill and give an outline of the implementation of GBB's
recommendation. This decision was based on the GBB presentation of Solid Waste and Landfill
Business Plans.
,/~,dy ~. Kapl~{n
Eli'rector, Solid Waste Services
H/loriliePoillie/council memo/update LF expansion presen 8-20-02
SWS Position Paper for 8/27/02
On May 21, 2002, the City Council heard a presentation by Tim Bratton, of Gershman, Brickner &
Bratton Inc. (GBB), aimed at assisting the City of Corpus Christi with overall landfill development
operations. GBB focused on contractor procurement needs and transition planning; reviewed selected
development alternatives and economic implications; addressed other re-engineering projects and
initiatives; and examined opportunities for public/private partnerships in the city's interest.
The J. C. Elliott (Elliott) landfill is scheduled to close in FY 2005-2006 and the Cefe Valenzuela (Cefe)
landfill is scheduled to open in FY 2005-2006. It requires $13M in construction costs to accomplish this.
Three options were listed for the future of Corpus Christi landfills: expanding the Elliott landfill onto 92
adjoining acres; having the city construct and operate the Cefe landfill; or having a private contractor
construct and operate the Cefe landfill. The City Council requested that staff pursue the Elliott landfill
expansion while also pursuing an RFP for private operation of the Cefe landfill construction and
operation.
The Solid Waste Services Department is before Council to provide status on an RFP for development and
operation of the Cefe landfill and to provide an update on the continuation of the investigation of options
to expand the Elliott landfill. In preparation of the Elliott landfill expansion the Solid Waste Staffhas met
with TNRCC, consultants, and made initial contact with the Navy and FAA to resolve any pertinent
issues. To date, we have obtained approval from the FAA and the TNRCC has a favorable outlook on the
Elliott landfill expansion. Depending on waste flow, an expansion at the J. C. Elliott Landfill could
extend its life to 2015-2020. At the end of that projected life, the Cefe Landfill would have to be
operational.
There are no costs associated in the continuation of the RFP process for the Cefe landfill. The RFP is
intended to allow specific development of Cefe based on specific recommendations of GBB and allow
proposers to provide options for other methodologies for landfill disposal at other areas, including Elliott.
The estimated costs for the continuation of the expansion of the Elliott landfill are as follows:
Legal
Permitting (engineering)
Land Acquisition
$750K to $1.5M
$1.1M to $1.5M
$500K
Funding for the completion of the remaining cells and closure of J. C. Elliott Landfill and/or City
development of an expansion at J. C. Elliott Landfill or City development of the Cefe Landfill would
require future Bond sales.
The following timeline will apply to the RFP process (All dates 2002):
Aug. 27, 2002 Sep. 6,2002 Oct. 11, 2002 Oct. 14, 2002 - Dec. 2002

ISSUE: The City of Corpus Christi holds a water rights permit for Lake Corpus Christi and
Choke Canyon Reservoir Systems. The water rights permit requires the City to provide
fresh water inflows for the Nueces Bay and Estuary.
The operational procedures for freshwater inflows are governed by an Agreed Order issued
by the TNRCC. These operational procedures have been changed numerous times over
the past ten years by new agreed orders to provide more flexibility and reduce the impact
of freshwater inflows to the yield of the reservoir system.
The purpose of the presentation is to review the water rights permit and the operational
procedures for freshwater inflows that currently apply to Lake Corpus Christi and Choke
Canyon Reservoir Systems.

BACKGROUNDINFORMATION
The Texas Property Tax Code states that the governing body of the taxing unit should adopt
a tax rate by September 30, or the 60th day after the taxing unit receives the appraisal roll,
whichever is later. The rate will be comprised of two components: the rate needed to support
the City's debt service and the rate needed to support the City's maintenance and operation
expenditures for FY2002-2003. The proposed tax rate on $100 valuation for the City of
Corpus Christi for tax year 2002 follows:
$.4600308 for purpose of maintenance and operation
$. 1841437 for payment of principal and interest on debt
$.6441745 Total Tax Rate
As required by the Code, the City published the effective tax rate on Sunday, August 4, 2002
in the Corpus Christi Caller-Times. The effective tax rate is generally equal to the prior year's
tax revenues divided by the current year's taxable values of properties that were on the tax
roll in both years. The effective tax rate excludes taxes on properties no longer in the taxing
unit and also excludes the current taxable value of new properties. For tax year 2002, the
effective tax rate is $0.627119/8100 valuation. The proposed tax rate of $0.6441745/$100
valuation does not exceed 103% of the effective tax rate therefore the City is not required to
conduct a public hearing. Although the proposed tax rate did not change from 2001, the
effective increase is $0.017056/$100 valuation, equivalent to a $1,153,220 increase in tax
revenues from 2001.
The City's 2002 net taxable value is $8,426,656,727, which is $397,331,672 above last
year's 2001 certified value of $8,029,325,055. This value produces an ad valorem tax levy
of $54,282,374, which is $2,559,509 greater than last year.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Texas Property Tax Code establishes rules for adoption of the ad valorem tax rate and
approval of the tax levy. Section 26.09(e) of the Code requires the assessor to submit the
unit's tax levy to the governing body for approval. The tax levy is the amount of current taxes
to be collected for 2002-2003, which is derived by applying the adopted tax rate to the
certified appraisal roll.
The tax levy for 2002, based upon a tax rate of $.6441745 per $100 valuation and a taxable
value of $8,426,656,727 follows:

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
City Council Meeting - August 27, 2002
AGENDA ITEM:
A. Motion authorizing the execution of an amendment by the City Manager or his designee,
to Section 2 ("Term") of the Professional Services Agreement between the City of Corpus
Christi and National Golf Foundation Consulting, Inc.
B. Motion authorizing the execution of an amendment by the City Manager or his designee,
to Section 6 ("Optional Service") of the Professional Services Agreement between the City
of Corpus Christi and National Golf Foundation Consulting, Inc.
C. Motion authorizing the execution of an amendment by the City Manager or his designee,
to Section 9 ("Expense Reimbursement") of the Professional Services Agreement between
the City of Corpus Christi and National Golf Foundation Consulting, Inc.
ISSUES:
The Professional Services Agreement between The City of Corpus Christi and National Golf
Foundation Consulting, Inc. ("Contract") currently specifies a termination date of May 31, 2002.
Because of changes in staff at the City level as well as staffs need to address the issues
brought up in the findings presented in the Draft Study, the consultants were unable to
complete their study and present it to City Council by the time frame specified in the Contract.
In order to reflect a more accurate pedod of time necessary for the consultant to complete and
present study findings, staff recommends that the Term be amended to end no later than
October 15, 2002 for all phases of the study.
Section 6 of the Contract (Optional Service) currently specifies that the optional service
available would be to evaluate and propose the suitability of possible locations for a third
municipal golf course, if a third golf course is deemed viable. This section of the contract would
be amended to redefine the "Optional Service" as production of fully costed, scheduled and
prioritized plans for an aggressive capital improvements program to enhance the conditions
and business of the two existing municipal golf courses with an additional option of an irrigation
systems inspection.
Section 9 of the Contract (Expense Reimbursement) currently deals with reimbursement of
expenses associated with the golf area market analysis. This section would be amended to
include text allowing for the reimbursement and oversight of expenses associated with the
Optional Services specified in Section 6.
FUNDING: Funding for this contract has already been appropriated.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION:
December 11, 2001 - City Council approved a Motion authorizing the release of a Request for
Proposals and Statement of Qualifications for an Area Golf Market and Feasibility Study for the
City of Corpus Christi, Texas.
March 28, 2002 - City Council approved appropriation of funds for, and execution of, the
Professional Services Agreement between The City of Corpus Christi and National Golf
Foundation Consulting, Inc.
July 16, 2002 - City Council directs staff to accept NGF Consulting, Inc.'s recommendations
and to bring back to Council whatever action items are needed based on those
recommendations.
PROJECT BACKGROUND: Since fiscal year 1997-1998 the two municipal golf courses have
been collecting a surcharge on all Green Fees in order to help finance future capital projects,
specifically a potential third golf course. On December 11,2001 the Corpus Christi City Council
authorized the Park and Recreation Department to issue a Request For Proposal for a golf
market analysis and 3rd golf course feasibility study. The submissions to this RFP were
received on January 30, 2002 and reviewed in February, 2002. On March 28, 2002, City
Council approved appropriation of monies from the surcharge fund and approval of the
proposed contract between the City of Corpus Christi, Texas and National Golf Foundation
Consulting, Inc. ("NGF"). On July 16, 2002, NGF presented their findings regarding the area
golf market.
As a result of their findings, NGF has recommended that the second phase of the existing
Contract, the "Optional Service" phase, be changed and that NGF develop budget estimates
and recommendations for capital improvement plans for a major renovation project on both of
the existing golf facilities.
FINAL PRODUCT: Two final products are expected: the first is an area golf market analysis
which has already been received. The second product is contingent on the results of the first
product. As originally contracted, if the market analysis indicates the need for additional golfing
facilities, NGF will perform and provide an economic feasibility study for various locations for
a 3rd golf course and/or the expansion of facilities at either of the existing courses. Under the
proposed Amendment, NGF would develop fully costed recommendations for capital
improvement projects at both golf courses, with, as an additional option, a full irrigation systems
inspection. This product would also include a proposed aggressive schedule for accomplishing
the recommended improvements provided that work would not take place simultaneously at
both municipal courses. The exception would be the possible expansion of 9 holes at Oso
Beach Municipal Golf Course while other work takes place at Gabe Lozano Sr. Golf Center.
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
AMENDMENT SUMMARY
The Professional Services Agreement between the City of Corpus Christi and National Golf
Foundation Consulting, Inc. would be amended as follows:
1. The Term of the Agreement will change from May 31, 2002 to October 15, 2002;
2. Section 6, Optional Service, will change from the evaluation and proposed suitability of
possible locations for a third golf course facility to developing a fully-costed, scheduled,
prioritized, and detailed plan for an aggressive capital improvements program that might
be undertaken by the City to enhance the conditions and business of the two existing
municipal golf courses. An additional option to be exercised at the City's sole discretion
would be an in-depth irrigation system inspection for both courses with
recommendations for repair and/or replacement.
Section 9, Expense Reimbursement, would be amended to include text regarding
reimbursement of expenses associated with the Optional Services. Said text includes
that the City agrees to absorb all air travel, car rental and printing expenses on a pre-
approved basis and that hotel (not including tax), meals and travel related incidentals will
be paid by the City at a rate of $97 per diem.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
BACKGROUND:
The Texas Legislature made a series of alternative delivery methods for architectural
projects available to cities late during the 2001 Legislative session. The effective date of
the legislation was September 1, 2001. The methods allow additional criteria to be
considered in the evaluation and award of construction contracts.
The City Major Construction Projects Advisory Panel unanimously recommended the using
one of the methods (construction manager (CM) at dsk) for the Convention Center
Expansion and Renovation. The purpose of the recommendation was to ensure the
maximum opportunity for local participation and to provide a more open process in the
selection of sub-contractors and trade contractors.
SELECTION PROCESS:
The CM at dsk was selected through a request for proposals (RFP). The RFP was a one
step process. The City required the submission of proposed fees and prices for the
general conditions as one selection cdteda. The fee consists of pre-construction services
(not applicable) and a percentage of the construction cost for overhead and profit to
function as a general contractor.
Selections were based on the criteda set forth by the RFP. A selection panel of City staff
was established to develop and administer the RFP process. The panel consisted of:
George K. Noe, Deputy City Manager
'Angel R. Escobar, Dir. Engr. Svcs.
Harold Peterson, Dir. Convention Facilities
Lynda Suthedand, Contract Administrator
Ron F. Massey, Assistant City Manager
Kevin Stowers, Asst. Dir. Engr. Svcs.
Mary Frances Teniente, Design Engineer
A total of ten proposals were received. See Exhibit B. The proposals were evaluated in
accordance with the criteria set forth in the RFP. The selection panel reviewed the
proposals and elected to focus on the top five ranked firms with particular emphasis on the
two highest ranked firms that were effectively tied. After further review, the committee
reconvened and determined that the proposal by Moorhouse - Beecroft, Joint Venture
represented the best value to the City. The process followed the procedures outlined by
the Local Government Code Section 271.118. See Exhibit D.
PROJECT COST/FEES:
The selected firm will agree to a negotiated guaranteed maximum price (GMP) with the
City prior receiving bids from the sub-contractors and suppliers. The GMP will be
EXHIBITA J
Page 1 of 2
H:\HOME\KEVINS\GEN\CONVCTR\EXPANSIO\PROJECT~CM~)RISKB KG.EXA.DOC
presented to the Council as an amendment to the contract. Failure to agree on the GMP
would result in the termination of the agreement. The contract in its present form does not
obligate the City to any expenditure of funds.
The CM at risk will select and award the sub-contractors and suppliers. The bids received
by the CM will become the project cost with any savings from the GMP accruing back to
the City. The total price for the Convention Center Expansion and Rehabilitiation will be:
· The GMP or total bids (whichever is lower); and
· CM fees and allowances.
OPENING OF SUB-CONTRACTOR BIDS: The City's will participate in the opening of
sealed bids at a public location. The contents of the bids or proposals cannot be made
public at the time of opening (Local Government Code Sec. 271.118(i)). The Local
Government Code does provide for all bids or proposals to made public after the award of
the contract or seven (7) days after the date of final selection of bids, whichever is later.
FUTURE COUNCIL ACTIONS:
· Approve an amendment to set the GMP;
· Award of material testing, inspection and laboratory testing contracts;
· Amendment to authorize construction phase services Gilbane Building Company;
· Amendment of architectural contract for additional design and construction phase
services;
· Award of construction contract for the Multi-purpose Arena; and
· Award of construction contract to realign Shoreline Boulevard in front of the Convention
Center and Arena.
RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the motion as presented.
