Mayor Neal called the workshop to order in the Water Garden Room of the Corpus Christi
Museum of Science and History. City Secretary Chapa checked the roll and verified that the
necessary quorum of the Council and the required charter officers were present.
City Manager Garcia said the purpose of the workshop was to prepare the Council on
upcoming decisions regarding the level of protection (LOP) policy and funding of stormwater
programs. He noted that the stormwater system is primarily provided by the private sector because
every home and business that is built is required to have such a system. He said the city provides the
backbone of the system through major drainage ways. Mr. Garcia showed a list of the series of
meetings that have been held to solicit public input on the stormwater protection system.
Ms. Valerie Gray, Stormwater Superintendent, described the existing system, which includes
several hundred miles of major and minor drainage ditches, underground storm pipe, and curbs and
gutters. In addition, there are hundreds of acres of drainage and street right-of-way mowing;
thousands of storm inlets and manholes; as well as pump stations, storm gates, storm surge
protection levee gates and bridges. She discussed the diverse characteristics of the different areas of
the stormwater system, including downtown and older developed areas, southside, northwest and
Flour Bluff/Padre Island.
Ms. Gray explained that the area's topography is very flat which limits natural drainage. She
said the system was built incrementally over mom than 100 years and a significant portion of it was
constructed by private developers following various standards. Consequently, it lacks a
comprehensive set of adopted level-of-protection standards.
Mr. Angel Escobar, Director o f Engineering Services, then discussed the stormwater master
plan, the purpose of which is to serve as a planning tool for existing and new development. In
addition, it will provide guidance for the LOP policies and other stormwater standards. He said the
plan will address the size and direction of stormwater flows as well as design parameters.
Minutes - City Council Workshop
November 18, 2002 - Page 2
Mr. Escobar also explained the entities contributing to the master plan process: policy makers
- Council, Planning Commission and Stormwater Management Advisory Committee; community-
interested citizens, Technical Advisory Group, neighborhood associations, development community,
environmental interests, local engineers and state and federal agencies; city staff - Stormwater,
Engineering Services, Planning and Development, Park and Recreation, and Legal; and the
consultant team - Goldston Engineering, Dodson & Associates, TerraPoint, LLC, and the Rodman
Company.
The Engineering Director said the master plan is intended to evaluate the existing system
design standards and recommend new ones; recommend new stormwater management policies;
develop a design criteria manual; provide city-wide LIDAR elevation contour maps; and provide a
city-wide master plan and hydraulic modeling of major stream miles. He said the plan is scheduled
to be completed in August 2003.
Mr. Escobar said the policy issues to be addressed include level of protection (flood
protection, drainage, and city/developer participation), maintenance, water quality and quality of life.
Responding to Council Member Scott, Ms. Gray said the city's permit currently does not require
treatment of stormwater nmoff. She said they are operating under the current permit and have
applied for a new one.
Mr. Escobar then discussed level of protection, which is the depth and/or the spread of
stormwater accepted by the community given a storm event of a certain fi'equency, duration and
intensity. For example, on October 24, 2002, when the tornados struck Corpus Christi and torrential
downpours occurred, the rain gauges in the downtown area measured 6¼ inches in less than three
hours, which categorized it as a 100-year storm event. Assistant City Manager Ron Masseypointed
out that the official rainfall level at the airport on that date was less than 2 inches.
Mr. Escobar said that currently the LOP for residential streets in the city is that ponding of
water is allowed to the back of the walk in a five-year design storm and ponding into yards in a 100-
year storm. The proposed design standard is to allow ponding only to the back of the curb in a five-
year design storm and to ensure that the finished floor of structures is a minimum of 18 inches above
the top of the curb. He said that currently homes are between 12-13 inches above the curb top.
A discussion ensued about how improved LOPs would affect different areas of the city. Mr.
Massey said a drainage proj eot could be constructed in a high-priority area without waiting to include
it with a particular street project. Responding to Council Member Noyola, Mr. Escobar noted that
even if the number of inlets are increased, the size of the drainage outfall areas (such as Oso Creek)
are a factor in drainage.
Mr. Escobar said the proposed design standard for collector streets is to keep a minimum of
one traffic lane open in each direction. For arterial streets, the proposed standard is to limit ponding
to the outside lanes in a 25-year design storm. With regard to major ditches, the current standard in
the city is a 25-year storm while the proposed standard is a 100-year storm. In order to not overload
Oso Creek too quickly, Mr. Escobar said retention ponds can be created. He also compared Corpus
Chfisti's proposed levels of protection with those in other cities.
Minutes - City Council Workshop
November 18, 2002 - Page 3
Mr. Escobar said staff asked the consultants to determine the cost impact of the proposed
standards. Using a hypothetical 16.4-acre subdivision, the cost of drainage improvements per lot
would be as follows: current practice - $540 for 120 lots (4,500 square feet) and $925 for 70 lots
(7,800 square feet); proposed standard - $1,330 for the smaller lots and $2,280 for the larger lots.
The difference between the two standards is $790 for the smaller lots and $1,355 for the larger lots.
The subdivision development cost for stormwater infrastructure in the hypothetical subdivision is
$64,630 under the current practice and $158,480 under the proposed standard, for a difference of
$93,850. Factors contributing to the extra cost are more drainage inlets, more underground pipe and
higher building slabs. Mr. Escobar also discussed costs in the existing subdivisions of Casa Blanca
Estates, The Lakes-Unit 10, and Northwest Crossing.
Mr. Escobar then referred to three scenarios of off-site participation: Scenario #1 is the
current practice with a five-year pilot ditch. The current practice encourages minimal infrastructure
development, discourages new development, and burdens the city's capital improvement program
(CIP) for future expansion. He used the example of Northwest Crossing, which consists of 100 acres
and 180 lots. The cost per lot is $6,320 and the project cost is $1,137,175 with no costs picked up
by the city. Responding to Council Member Chesney, Mr. Escobar discussed the difference between
collector ditches and major ditches.
He said that Scenario #2 is the current practice with an upgrade to a 25-year channel. Using
the example of the Northwest sub-basin (1,300 acres and 2,340 lots), the developer would not share
in the cost while the city's costs would be $445 per lot and $1,037,360 for the whole project. The
factors in this scenario are that the cost is shared by the entire community as the project competes
for CIP fimding. However, those factors make the project's completion uncertain.
Mr. Escobar said that Scenario #3 is the proposed policy with 25-year and 100-year channels
wherebyboth the developer and the city share the costs. In the Northwest sub-basin, the developer's
cost for 180 lots in Northwest Crossing would be $1,205 per lot and $216,900 for the project, and
the city's cost for 2,160 lots would he $1,205 per lot and $2,602,800 for the project, for total costs
of $1,205 per lot and $2,819,000 for the project. The proposed policy distributes the cost burden
equitably; increases the flood protection; avoids a build-up of CIP projects; fosters in-fill
development; and increases infrastructure costs by 30%. Staff also outlined the costs to retrofit the
Crossgate Subdivision. A brief discussion ensued.
Mr. Escobar outlined the recommendations of the Technical Advisory Group (TAG) for city-
developer participation (subject to the availability of funding): the developer is responsible for the
construction of on-site minor, collector and major system improvements; reimburse on-site major
system improvements; reimburse off-site right-of-way dedication; reimburse off-site construction
cost of over-sized minor and collector system improvements as well as major system improvements;
and promote orderly growth (planning, design, acquisition and construction) of collector and major
system improvements.
Council Member Kinnison asked how this reimbursement policy compares to other cities.
Mr. Ron Dodson, ofDodson & Associates, said the trend in stormwater funding is to try to match
the cost to the services being provided, and those reimbursements are a good example of that. He
said some cities have had these policies in place for many years while others are adopting them.
Minutes - City Council Workshop
November 18, 2002 - Page 4
Responding to Mayor Neal, Mr. Escobar discussed the platting fees and processes and he
reviewed the master plan time line. The Mayor then called for a brief recess.
When the meeting was reconvened, Mr. Mark McDaniel, Director of Management and
Budget, discussed the stormwater funding needs. He said the existing stormwater CIP projects total
$85.2 million, of which $68 million is in the long-range Cfi? (years 4-10). He noted that they are
based upon existing policies and standards and are not all-inclusive. In addition, city/developer
participation in new development is pending.
Mr. McDaniel said there are different funding approaches to consider. He said the Council
could continue funding stormwater costs through the combined utilities (water fund). He said staff
will be presenting the Council with the proposed CIP and capital budget at their regular meeting on
November 19, 2002. He said staff added $5 million per year to the short-range CIP, which equates
to a 0.5% increase in FY2002-03. He said an additional 1% rate increase would yield $790,815 per
year in revenues and $9.9 million in capital improvement project capacity in FY2004. He added that
the rate model reflects $5 million every year, which will be $55 million at the end of 11 years.
The Budget Director said another possible funding approach is a new utility fee which would
fund capital improvements only. He said the fee of $1 per customer per month would generate
$912,876 per year in revenue and $10.5 million in bonding capacity. Mayor Neal said the $1 fee
would remain in place for 20 years no matter what happens to the rates in the future. Mr. McDaniel
said other funding approaches are general obligation bonds (2004 and beyond), drainage district,
impact fee program or a combined approach.
Mr. Chesney asked how the funding would apply to specific projects and Mr. McDaniel said
the $5 million per year would have to be prioritized among different projects. Mr. Chesney also
asked about the relationship between the seawall reconstruction and the need to improve drainage
in the downtown area, which Mr. Escobar explained.
Mr. McDaniel also showed lists of cities which utilize drainage fees and drainage districts;
a brief discussion ensued. Mr. Kinnison and Mr. Scott asked about the rate model which Mr.
McDaniel discussed. Mr. Garcia said that for the last two years, Mr. McDaniel, Mr. Escobar and Mr.
Mario Tapia, Assistant Budget Director, have been examining each capital improvement project in
order to provide much more detailed information for the utility rate model. There was a discussion
of specific CIP projects using the proposed CIP document. Mayor Neal asked about alternative
funding options. Mr. Garcia said there has been a discussion about separating the Stormwater
Department from the Water Department.
Mr. Kinnison asked what would have happened if millions of dollars of drainage
improvements were made downtown and a rain event occurred similar to October 24 (a 100-year
storm). Mr. Garcia said the flooding would not have been as severe nor would the water have stayed
as long. Ms. Gray referred to the 1998 drainage study which identified downtown areas that are
prone to flooding for many reasons. There was additional discussion about the downtown flooding.
Mr. Massey said the next steps are the adoption of the capital budget and long-range CIP in
December 2002; completion of the stormwater master plan in August 2003; adoption of stormwater

policies in January 2003 (including level of protection and city/developer participation); and
additional consideration of funding options. Council members and staff discussed revenues that
would be generated by different rate increases. Mr. McDaniel pointed out that the rate increases
alone cannot fund all the stormwater needs. Mr. Garcia reiterated that staff will be coming back to
the Council with recommendations in early 2003.
Mayor Neal asked staff to provide funding options if the Council opted to do an additional
$20 million in stormwater improvements starting next year. Mr. Kinnison asked staff to also indicate
how that would affect the General Fund over the next few years and the proposed Bond 2004
program.
Following additional discussion, the Mayor said he believes the majority of the Council are
asking for ways to address the city's stormwater issues. He said while they cannot solve all the
drainage problems, they are one more major rain event away fi.om experiencing huge losses of
property and some of those areas are already on the CIP list.
Mr. Escobar introduced the consultants and Mayor Neal thanked the Stormwater
Management Adviso~ Committee members who attended the workshop. There being no further
business to come before the Council, the Mayor adjourned the workshop at 4:30 p.m. on November
18, 2002.

Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 12, new street lights along the seawall. Responding
to Council Member Kelly, Mr. Kevin Stowers, Assistant Director of Engineering Services, said the
new street lights will be tapered, double-headed concrete poles on the water side. He said one of the
heads will be pointed over the driving lane and the other will be over the sidewalk and seawall steps.
He said the smaller amount of the contract involves re-illuminating and converting the existing lights
on the west side of Shoreline Boulevard. Mr. Kelly asked about aesthetic enhancements and Mr.
Stowers said staff is working with the Arts and Cultural Commission regarding including
architectural-level lighting amenities. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes:

Kelly, Kinnison, Noyola, and Scott voting "Aye"; Chesney and Longoria absent.
Mayor Neal referred to the presentations on the day's agenda. The first presentation (Item
23) was the flint quarter (unaudited) FY2002-2003 budget/performance report. Mr. Mark McDaniel,
Director of Management and Budget, said the city now participates in the International City-County
Management Association Center for Performance Measurement program. As a result, the typical
performance-related data featured in this report has been omitted and is being updated to include new
benchmark data in comparison to other communities, which will be included in the second quarter
report. He also noted that the graphs are different because staff is taking percentage of budget and
comparing it to where the city was at the same time last year and the year before.
Mr. McDaniel then discussed General Fund year-to-date revenues and expenditures. He said
the revenue variances included franchise fees and Municipal Court revenues, and the expenditure
variances were experienced in Development Services and non-departmental areas. He said overall
in the General Fund, both revenues and expenditures are slightly lower compared to prior years as
a percent of total budget.
With regard to the Enterprise Funds, most of the revenue variances have to do with water
sales, a drier wastewater winter averaging period, different gas prices, lower interest earnings and
a timing variance on the collection of marina slip rentals. He said the difference in the Enterprise
Fund expenditure percentages also had to do with gas prices and the budgeting of a $75,000 reserve
in the Marina Fund. The only major variance in the Internal Service funds' revenues was in
Maintenance Services because in FY2001 the city received the settlement for the claim on the City
Hall building. He said the Liability and Employee Benefits Fund shows an expenditure variance due
to a different method of accounting for some employee costs for supplemental health care coverage.
In the Special Revenue funds, the hotel occupancy tax revenues are higher than last year due
to the annexation of Mustang Island, and Reinvestment Zone #2 revenues are higher due to the
timing of collections and larger receipts of delinquent taxes. Mr. McDaniel said that on the
expenditure side, the seawall improvement fund is higher due to monthly allocations for debt service
and the arena facility fund had an unanticipated principal payment. He then thanked his stafffor their
efforts in preparing this report.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
November 19, 2002 - Page 9
Council Member Garrett asked about the drug seizure fund. Mr. McDaniel said it is part of
the trust funds, which are not included in the quarterly reports. City Manager Garcia said staff can
provide a report on that fund's activity.
Council Member Scott asked if adjustments need to be made to the budget at this time. Mr.
Garcia replied that the Water Fund is of most concern because it involves huge revenues and it is
lower than budgeted due to the recent very wet weather. Mr. Scott also asked about the sales tax
revenues and Mr. McDaniel said the city was off last month by a large amount but during the
previous two months the revenues exceeded expectations. He said the other revenue sources are
close to the budgeted amounts.
Council Member Kiunison also asked about next month's sales tax revenues. Mr. McDaniel
said his staff is doing more analysis on gross sales subject to tax by different types of industry. He
said the variance could also be the result of a timing difference at the state comptroller's office. Mr.
Kinnison said that even though utilities revenues are down, staff is holding down expenses. Mr.
McDaniel said that water usage is very seasonal and staff is trying to moderate the way they budget
by using multi-year averages of recent consumption. Responding to Council Member Colmenero,
Mr. McDaniel said that staff is hoping that the water revenues will improve if the area experiences
some drier months (although not too dry).
Assistant City Manager Jorge Cmz-Aedo informed the Council that Ms. Lee Ann Dumbauld,
Finance Director, consulted with the independent auditors and concluded that they are approximately
four weeks to six weeks away from completing the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
(CAFR). He said that is past the state's guideline for publishing annual reports and staff will be
contacting the state to request an extension. Mr. Cruz-Aedo said there is no adverse ruling or fine
associated with that action; rather, it is the state's target date.
Mayor Neal asked what the principal reason is for the completion date change. Mr. Cruz-
Aedo said that governments are now required to change their reporting format. He said they should
have the CAFR ready by the end of December. Mr. Kinnison said all of the reports will be totally
different. He added that numerous other cities are experiencing the same delays due to the formatting
change, to which Mr. Garcia concurred.
Mayor Neal announced the executive sessions, which were listed on the agenda as follows:
Executive session pursuant to Texas Government Code Section 551.074 regarding
evaluations of the City Manager and City Secretary, with possible discussion and action
related thereto in open session.
Executive session pursuant to Texas Government C ode Sections 5 51.071 and 5 51.072
regarding the Landry's Project in the Corpus Christi Marina, with possible discussion and
action related thereto in open session.
Executive session pursuant to Texas Government Code Section 551.071 regarding City of
Corpus Christi v. Texas Municipal League Intergovernmental Risk Pool and Texas
Municipal League Joint Self Insurance Fund, No. 01-00327-D, 105th District Court, Nueces
County, Texas, with possible discussion and action related thereto in open session.

The Council went into executive session. *Council Member Longoria arrived at the meeting.
The Council returned from executive session. Mayor Neal made the following motion, which was
seconded by Mr. Longoria and passed by a voice vote:
2.b. M2002-380
Motion authorizing a 5% salary increase for the City Secretary effective immediately and
clarifying that his vacation and sick leave accrual is unlimited and that additional vacation
and sick leave days granted by the Council are beyond those authorized by the city's
classification and compensation ordinance.
The foregoing motion passed by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero, Garrett, Kelly,
Kinnison, Longoria, Noyola, and Scott voting "Aye"; Chesney absent.
The Mayor said the Council also evaluated City Manager Garcia. During that process, they
looked at 27 key areas ranging from the condition of the city to personal issues such as how Mr.
Garcia is perceived within the community. Mayor Neal said the majority of the Council gave Mr.
Garcia nine excellent ratings, 13 good ratings, three acceptable ratings and two areas where he
received an even or no majority. He said the areas in which Mr. Garcia received excellent ratings
were those things the Council feels are most important in continuing to move the city forward, such
as the quality of the staff, the direction the city is taking, and the financial improvements. Mayor
Neal then made the following motion, which was seconded by Mr. Kelly and passed by a voice vote:
2.a. M2002-379
Motion approving a salary increase of 3 ½ % for the City Manager effective immediately.
The foregoing motion passed by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero, Garrett, Kelly,
Kinnison, Longoria, Noyola, and Scott voting "Aye"; Chesney absent.
Mayor Neal thanked Mr. Garcia for his service and said he hopes the City Manager will look
at those areas they have been discussing. Mr. Garcia thanked the Council for their vote of confidence
and for his salary increase. He said he believes they are heading in the fight direction and the quality
of life in Corpus Christi is better than it was a few years ago. He added that the citizens are satisfied
with the council-manager form of government, which they demonstrated during the November 5
election. He said his objective is to make this city a model of municipal services for the country.
The second presentation (Item 25) was an update on Texas Department of Transportation
(TXDOT) projects. Mr. Bryan Wood, Deputy District Engineer, said TXDOT officials have noted
the increased congestion along South Padre Island Drive (SPID), particularly during the holiday
season. He said they met with city stuffmembers to discuss both short- and long-term solutions, the
latter incorporating modeling by the Texas Transportation Institute.
Mr. Wood said short-term solutions for SPID traffic congestion will include: portable

dynamic message signs; signal coordination on arterials; restricted access at critical locations; use
of uniform police officers; initiation of a joint public relations campaign; and the addition of speed
limit signs. He also responded to Council members' questions and comments. Assistant City
Manager Ron Massey pointed out that the bids for the Bond 2000 project to resurface Staples Street
came in over the engineer's estimate; therefore, it will be rebid and initiated after the holidays.
The second issue discussed by Mr. Wood was the Crosstown/interchange project. He noted
that the flyover ramp fi.om east-bound SPID to the Crosstown Expressway was permanently closed
as of November 18, 2002. He said the night-time detours will begin on November 19 and continue
until December 4. He also discussed the preferred alternate route to downtown, which will be in
place for the remainder of the project (about 2½ years). He said the Crosstown project is about 36%
complete and Phase 2 of the six total phases is now being started.
The last project discussed was the JFK Causeway, which is scheduled to be completed in two
years and five months, which is a very fast track. Mr. Wood said the contractor is ahead of schedule
at this point. Council Member Garrett asked about the pavement and Mr. Wood said the only reason
they would dig it up is i fit fails the requisite tests. He added that the contractor is responsible for his
materials. Mr. Wood said that unexpected high tides will result in water-filled barriers to be used to
divert traffic. He also discussed in detail the project's phases and showed diagrams and photographs
of the progress. Mr. Garrett said he hopes the Ennis Joslin project will be completed soon.
Mayor Neal referred to Item 21, a public heating on proposed assessments for improvements
to Jamaica Drive from Mediterranean to Caribbean. A motion was made, seconded and passed to
open the public hearing. Mr. Angel Escobar, Director of Engineering Services, said the original
petition for this project, which is part of the Bond 2000 program, was submitted to the city on
October 5, 1987. He said a public meeting was held at Flour Bluff Intermediate School on April 11,
2002. An additional mail-out informed the Jamaica Drive residents about the November 19, 2002,
hearing and noted that this project is part of the paving assessment program. He said one resident
expressed concern about the payment schedule and staff will meet with the resident. There were no
comments fi.om the public. Mr. Kelly made a motion to close the public hearing, seconded by Mr.
Colmenero and passed. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:
21.b. ORDINANCE NO. 025112
Ordinance closing the public hearing on proposed assessments for improvements to the
following highway in Corpus Christi, Nueces County, Texas: Jamaica Drive fi.om
Mediterranean to Caribbean; imposing assessments totaling $93,591.72 against property
abutting t he improvements, affected railways, a nd property a nd railway owners; fixing
corresponding liens on property and charges against property owners; providing for
subsequent adjustment of assessment amounts and the corresponding liens and charges based
on as-built conditions; specifying assessment payment terms and lien enforcement measures.
An emergency was declared and the foregoing ordinance passed: Neal, Colmenero, Garrett,
Kelly, Longoria, Noyola, and Scott voting "Aye"; Chesney and Kinnison absent.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
November 19, 2002 - Page 12
21.e. M2002-397
Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute a construction contract in
the amount of $1,064,545.70 with Salinas Construction of Pleasanton, Texas, for the Jamaica
Drive improvements from Mediterranean to Caribbean.
The foregoing motion passed by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero, Garrett, Kelly,
Longoria, Noyola, and Scott voting "Aye"; Chesney and Kinnison absent.
Mayor Neal referred to Item 20, an overview and public heating on the proposed FY2002-
2003 capital budget and capital improvement planning (CIP) guide. A motion was made, seconded
and passed to open the public heating. Mr. McDaniel explained that this is the first of three meetings
to discuss the capital budget with the Council; the first and second readings of the ordinance will be
held December 10 and December 17 respectively.
Referring to the City Manager's Message in the proposed capital budget and CIP document,
Mr. McDaniel said there are several emerging issues to consider. He said that in January 2003, staff
will be bringing to the Council options for the privatization of landfill operations. He said there will
be changes to the capital budget in future years to accommodate the stormwater master plan and the
parks, recreation and open space master plan. Other issues include implementation of the National
Golf Foundation recommendations on enhancements to the city's golf facilities; streets and
associated utility relocations; ADA-related improvements; and projects related to the November 5,
2002 election.
Mr. McDaniel reviewed the new CIP planning process, which was implemented last year.
He said they start with a long-range plan and identify as many projects as possible that might need
to be addressed. Those projects are not actually funded until they move into the three-year short-
range CIP. He said the annual capital budget itself is the first year of the short-range CIP.
The Budget Director referred to a graph of the FY2003 capital budget revenues, which
include revenue bonds (30%), sales tax bond issue (21%), commercial paper (19%), general
obligation bonds (5%), and other sources. With regard to FY2003 expenditures, he said that utilities
make up 42% of that amount, followed by public facilities at 32%. Mr. McDaniel also reviewed the
short-range CIP revenues and expenditures and the long-range CD expenditures (to date). Following
its review, the Planning Commission recommended adoption of the FY2002-03 capital budget with
an amendment to include projects related to the November 5, 2002 voter-approved propositions.
Mr. McDaniel said that pages 38 and 39 of the proposed CIP include descriptions and
explanations of funding sources. He noted that general obligation bonds, which need to be approved
by the voters, are used to fund streets, park enhancements and public facilities other than the arena
and convention center. He said page 40 contains the combined financial summary (rate model). He
said that following discussions with department heads, the budget staff phased some large projects,
which moved them out beyond FY2011-12, and other capital costs were moved out by one year
(about $54 million).
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
November 19, 2002 - Page 13
Responding to Mayor Neal, the Budget Director also noted that the gas reservation fees were
moved out because they are now part of the purchase gas adjustment (similar to the raw water
calculation). He said that $5 million of stormwater costs were taken out of the CIP as were $13
million in wastewater costs mostly because the bids for the Broadway Treatment Plant project came
in much lower than one of the options staff had programmed. Mr. Escobar explained that the
Broadway project will be constructed in phases in years 6 and 7 through four contracts. Mayor Neal
added that the life of the current Broadway plant is being lengthened by four or five years.
With regard to the water C1P projects, Mr. McDaniel said that phases 6 and 7 of the southside
transmission main were reduced by $11.6 million. Mr. Escobar said the plan to build a desalination
plant on Padre Island will eliminate or delay the need to extend the transmission main underneath
the Laguna Madre and onto the island. Mr. McDaniel also said that staffmoved out $88 million fi.om
the CI~ for the Garwood pipeline construction. He added that $10 million is programmed through
year 3 for the Garwood land acquisition and routing study.
In reply to the Mayor, Mr. Stowers said they will not be acquiring all of the land for the
Garwood pipeline until they have a preliminary design of the facilities and the actual route selection.
He said the intention is to construct the Garwood pipeline in a more systematic way in order to
achieve better prices. Mr. Mario Tapia, Assistant Director of Budget, said that last year the pipeline
construction was in year 10 and this year it is proposed to be in year 25. He said that Mr. Max
CastatSeda, Water Resoumes Management Advisor, gave the Council a presentation indicating that
according to the studies, the Garwood water will not be needed for 20-25 years.
Mayor Neal said he thought the Council made it very clear that they wanted to put the
Garwood pipeline into the process much more quickly than the studies said the water was needed.
Mr. Scott said he thought the Council directed staff to do all the technical work to prepare to
construct the pipeline but not actually build it yet. Mr. Stowers said the $10 million currently
budgeted will pay for the necessary preliminary design work and land acquisition. However, it will
not pay for the final design because the most current technology will be needed to design and build
the Garwood facilities. Mr. Escobar said the land acquisition and permitting should be completed
by year 3. Mr. Kinnison asked if the cost of the Garwood pipeline is a cost of water delivery. Mr.
McDaniel said it is part of the raw water charge. The Mayor said they have had a number of requests
from the port industries to rapidly continue the development of the Garwood water and he said he
agrees with that.
Mr. Scott asked about the timing of the Padre Island desalination facility. He said he thought
that City Manager Garcia had indicated it would be scheduled in 2 to 2½ years. Mr. McDaniel said
the monies for the island desalination plant construction were moved to year 4 because of the city's
pending application with the state for a pilot desalination project. He said that is also part of the raw
water charge. Mr. Scott said he supports having a desalination plant on the island in two years.
Mr. Massey said that pumping tests will have to be conducted first to determine if the
groundwater aquifer will support the plant. He said staff has to complete the negotiations with the
contractor who will conduct the study and bring that contract to the Council. He said the study will
be conducted in phases over about a one-year period.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
November 19, 2002 - Page 14
Mayor Neal said the Council has been talking for a long time about the importance o f getting
both the desalination and Garwood water projects moving. He said he will not accept delays of
several years on them. Mr. Garcia said staff can modify the CIP to change the scheduling of the
desalination project. Mr. Kelly pointed out that it does not matter how full the reservoirs are if the
water does not reach Padre Island. Mr. Scott added that they have projected significant growth on
the island and Packery Channel is designed to create additional development; consequently, the
necessary infrastructure i s needed. M r. Kinnison asked i f t he timing o f t he desalination plant
construction affects the rate model and Mr. McDaniel said it does not.
Mr. Garcia said there is no question that there is an immediate need for a desalination facility
on the island, regardless of what happens with the state's pilot project. He said the reason is that it
appears a desalination facility will be less expensive than running a water pipeline under the Laguna
Madre to the island. He said the city could spend an excessive amount of money to bring the
Garwood water to Corpus Christi but right now the city has excess capacity, even in drought
conditions. He also said there are adequate supplies to meet all the industries' demands.
Mayor Neal asked about the funding sources for the water supplyprojects. Referring to page
430 of the CIP document, Mr. McDaniel said funding is available under the commemial paper and
revenue bond category.
Council M ember N oyola s aid h e agrees t hat t he desalination facility i s needed a nd h e
commented that the longer the Garwood project is delayed, the more expensive it will be when it is
finally constructed. Mr. Garcia said staff should review with the Council the long-range water plan.
He reiterated that at the current level of economic activity, the city has an excess water supply but
that will change over time as development and population increase.
With regard to the area's water supply, Mayor Neal cautioned staff to not confuse need with
political reality. He said he has been concerned all along that someone will t~y to take away Corpus
Christi's rights to the Garwood water. He then suspended the discussion on Item 20 in order to hear
petitions from the audience on non-agenda items.
Mr. Jack Gordy, 4118 Bray, said the public access studio on Leopard Street was closed
yesterday because they did not have the proper permits to remodel it. He also discussed
accountability, saying that the money to hire attorney Michael Teny came fi.om the employee benefit
fund. He also said that Mr. Garcia requested reimbursement for $977 for expenses at the Town Club.
Mr. Gordy said he asked the Legal Department about the purpose of Mr. Garcia's luncheons and he
said they replied that they had no records. He also asked if alcohol was served and he was told that
staff did not know.
Responding to Mr. Scott, Mr. Garcia said he has never charged the city for alcohol. He said
the bills referred to by Mr. Gordy are reimbursements usually for several months' worth of lunches
or other functions charged to his personal account at the Town Club. He said there are individual
receipts available that state who was in attendance and the purpose of the meetings, which are
directly related to city business. He said he conducts meetings over breakfasts and lunches in order
to fit extra meetings into his busy schedule. Mr. Noyola asked Mr. Garcia to provide receipts for the
dates specified by Mr. Gordy. Mr. Garcia replied that he did not think Mr. Gordy specified any dates.

November 19, 2002 - Page 15
Mayor Neal asked about the employee benefit fund. Deputy City Manager Noe said it is the
Self-Insurance Fund, which includes all of the city's risk and liability, such as the payments for the
attorneys defending the city in various causes of action. Mr. Garcia said although the city has a
number of different funds, there is no employee benefit fund. He said the soume of the money Mr.
Gordy was mfenfng to was the city's risk pool, which is reserved for expenses associated with
lawsuits and litigation. Mr. Noyola said he was given a piece of paper by Mr. Gordy that names a
Liability and Employee Benefits Fund. Mr. Noe reiterated that that is the Self-Insurance Fund from
which several expenses are paid, including the city's liability insurance. He said all the operating
funds pay their share of the cost.
Mr. Bill Kopecky, 3609 Topeka, said he thinks the change in wording on the ballot from
"mayor-council" (which was on their petition) to "strong mayor" form of government had a dramatic
effect on the outcome of the election proposition. He said he is not that disappointed because they
did receive 23,000 votes for a mayor-council form of govemment, which is three times the number
of petitions they had. He said that in 1975, a similar proposal received 24% of the vote. He said they
will not give up on this issue. Mr. Kopecky added that Corpus Christi's current charter does not give
the City Council the power to review or approve department-head appointments.
Mayor Neal returned to the discussion on Item 20. Mr. McDaniel referred to two additional
options distributed to the Council which propose to add $20 million for stormwater projects
beginning next year. He said that Option 2 requires 5% rate increases next year and the following
year instead of 4% rate increases. He said the projected impact to a customer of future rate increases
as per the utility rate model are $95.58 in FY2002-03 to $119.72 in FY2011-12. He said Option 3
proposes an additional 1% rate increase for one year with an additional $1 per month per customer
stormwater capital-directed fee, which would pay for $10 million in improvements.
Responding to the Mayor, Mr. McDaniel said the $20 million would be available next year
on top of the $5 million, which is now requiring part of the 4% rate increase. Mayor Neal referred
to the proposed stormwater projects beginning on page 293 of the CIP document. He specifically
asked about Item 11 (Meadowbrook Subdivision area drainage improvements - $1.3 million) and
Item 3 (various drainage system water quality improvements - $3 million). Ms. Valerie Gray,
Sto.nnwater Superintendent, described those projects. The Mayor said that a few years ago there were
major flooding problems in Molina. Mr. Escobar said that Item 2 (Airport Ditch outfall
improvements- south of Los Encinos - $6 million) addresses those concerns.
The Mayor said that several areas throughout the city have flooded during recent major rain
events. He said if the Council can identify stormwater projects that will have a major impact on the
quality of life in the affected neighborhoods and in the downtown area, he would like staff to take
a close look at them.
Mr. Kelly noted that flooding has occurred in the northwest in Wood River, Castle River, and
Leopard Street; in addition, the land going south cannot be developed because it does not drain. He
asked about Item 19 (Leopard Street roadside safety improvements- Rehfeld Road to Rand Morgan -
$3.5 million). He asked if the price is so high because pipe needs to be laid. Mr. Escobar replied
affirmatively. Mr. Kelly asked if it would be possible to do several small projects through the
operating budget without impacting the proposed $20 million for larger stormwater CIP projects. Mr.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
November 19, 2002 - Page 16
Escobar s aid t hose projects (usually under $ 300,000 e ach) are categorized under minor storm
drainage improvements and $5 million has been included in addition to the previous funding for the
next three years. He said that list is very long and staff can inform him of the specific projects.
Mr. Scott asked about the Meadowbrook improvements. Ms. Gray said that a few years ago
staff informed the neighbors the city would do a three-phase improvement project, of which the first
two phases have been completed (Item 11 is the third phase). Mr. Escobar pointed out that the cost
estimates have not been reviewed for any changes in the level of protection, an issue that was
discussed at the Council's stormwater workshop on November 18, 2002.
Mr. Scott also asked about Item 41 (Lindale Subdivision drainage improvements - $600,000).
Ms. Gray said it would involve surface flow with little underground storm sewer pipe. Mr. Scott
asked if staff has thought about how much money would be needed to "seed" a trust fund account
to address stormwater projects. Mr. Escobar said the city's consultant on the stormwater master plan
will help address that question. Mr. Colmenero agreed that the Lindale area floods frequently, as do
areas around McArdle.
Mr. Kinnison said this list contains $68 million in stormwater projects, plus $17 million in
the first three years. Mr. Escobar said there are also some projects that have not yet been priced.
Responding to a question from Mr. Kinnison, Mr. McDaniel said that excluding the two new funding
options, the current rate model can fund $55 million over 11 years. Mr. Kinnison said he would like
staff to develop criteria to evaluate where the most benefit will be derived from the projects. He said
that places where propei~y damage has occurred should be foremost on the list.
With regard to the downtown area, Mr. Kinnison said the Council should look at the most
cost-effective way to address the problems, including reviewing the downtown drainage study. He
said he has concerns about the recommendations made by the Stormwater Technical Advisory
Group. He pointed out that the city has other capital needs, such as streets and parks, and he does
not want Corpus Christi to have high utility bills. Responding to Mr. Colmenero, Mr. Escobar briefly
addressed the level of protection in specific areas.
In conclusion, Mr. McDaniel said staffneeds to complete the stormwater master plan and
identify all the costs involved, including changes that may need to be made for new levels of
protection. Mayor Neal called for public comment on Item 20 regarding the CIP public heating.
Mr. Bill Kopecky said that a few years ago the estimate on the Garwood pipeline was about
$35 million; however, he said the new estimate is $98 million. He said due to the city's water
reserves, he would recommend not spending any money in the current year on the Garwood project.
Mr. Kopecky also said that if the city receives too much of its water from other sources than its two
reservoirs, it could put the city's ownership of the water rights at those reservoirs at risk. He added
that there are methods to create higher sidewalks around building entrances to reduce flooding.
Mr. Kelly made a motion to close the public heating, seconded by Mr. Kinnison and passed
(Chesney absent).
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
November 19, 2002 - Page 17
The third presentation (Item 24) was regarding the Local Emergency Planning Committee's
(LEPC) fall media campaign on chemical emergencies. City Manager Garcia said that Corpus Christi
has one of the most active and progressive LEPC's in the country due to the extent of local
participation with private industry. Fire Chief J.J. Adame explained that LEPCs were created under
the Superfund and Reauthorization Act of 1986. He said each Texas county was required to create
such a committee to make assessments of hazardous chemicals in the area and to establish
emergency procedures to deal with accidental chemical releases.
Chief Adame said that in 1992 the city, the port and Nueces County entered into a local
agreement to contribute funding for the LEPC. Since then, they have done a significant amount of
community notification, including the purchase of several ads, radio public service announcements,
utility mail-outs, and packets to schools. He also showed examples of television "infomercials."
Responding to Mayor Neal, Chief Adame said Corpus Chfisti's LEPC personnel have been
working with Kleberg County officials to develop their program. The Mayor asked if Metrocom is
used in these efforts. The Chief said that many of the tools currently used by Metrocom, such as the
telephone ting-down and tone-alert systems, came out of the LEPC blueprint.
Council Member Garrett asked about the utility mail-outs. ChiefAdame said they sent 89,000
utility bill inserts throughout the city. Mr. Garrett also asked if the ring-down system can be used in
other instances, such as property crimes occurring in certain areas. Mr. Garcia said he discussed that
issue with Police ChiefAlvarez, who will develop criteria to do that. Council Member Noyola asked
about the dates of the drills in 2003 and ChiefAdame said he would provide the specific dates of
those events after consulting with the respective community groups.
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 26, legislative agenda. Mr. Tom Utter, Special
Assistant to the City Manager, said the 78th Texas Legislative Session will include new committee
chairpersons, new House leadership and a new Lieutenant Governor. He said approximately 6,000
bills will be filed and of those, about 1,600 will be passed and two-thirds will have real relevancy
to Corpus Christi. He said the city's legislative delegation has worked hard over the years to defeat
detrimental legislation.
Mr. Utter then referred to the proposed legislative program contained in the agenda material.
Under general policies and procedures, it states that the city will support legislation and
administrative actions that will protect and enhance city revenues; reduce costs to the city; provide
for more local control; protect those policies previously established through the charter, ordinances,
resolutions and master plans; and provide increased educational opportunities for the citizens of
Corpus Christi and the region.
Mr. Utter said the citywill oppose legislation that undermines the principle of home role and
local self-government; results in the loss of revenue growth to the city; diminishes the authority of
cities to regulate and manage their growth and development; nullifies or undermines the city's
policies unless such changes expand the city's ability to manage its own affairs; diminishes any
existing authority of cities; and imposes mandates that require any expenditure by the city unless all
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
November 19, 2002 - Page 18
costs are fully reimbursed by the mandating government. Mr. Utter also noted that the city's boards,
commissions and advisory groups may not take a legislative position unless and until they first
receive Council authorization. He said the city also supports the legislative program of the Texas
Mnnicipal League, except where it conflicts with the city's policies.
Mr. Utter then discussed highlights of the city's proposed legislative program, which includes
the following subject areas: franchise fees; state hotel tax for beach maintenance; street accessibility
improvements; clarification of hotel tax for beaches; protection of water rights; desalination projects;
Packer;/Channel; transportation (resources, funding for construction/maintenance, and streamlining);
development; and regulation of location of manufactured housing.
Other issues discussed by Mr. Utter were annexation authority; juvenile crime; fire control
and prevention district; child safety registration fee; CHIPS; electric industry deregulation; electric
~anchise base date; air quality; National Estuary Program; regional water planning; personnel;
military; Spaceport; insurance rates; ballot language for an economic development sales tax; city
election date statute; CDBG/HOME funding; diversion to the state of federal funding; homeland
security; coordination with local authorities; and protection of right-of-way fees and authority.
Mr. Utter also stated that city staff sent copies of the proposed legislative agenda to the
members of the legislative delegation and they have met with some of the legislators as well as
County Judge-Elect Terry Shamsie. Mayor Neal said he met with Mr. Shamsie about the program
and other issues and they agreed to hold a joint city-county meeting in the near future.
Council Member Scott asked about the 1-69 issue. Mr. Utter said staff felt it was addressed
under essential infrastructure. He said the governor has a corridor plan that is not yet final. He noted
that since there are projections of a very large state deficit, he does not believe there will be much
money available for new programs. Mr. Scott also asked about photographic traffic signals and Mr.
Utter said the city actively supports that issue. Mayor Neal called for public comment on Item 26.
Mr. Bill Kopecky said one or two Council members were quoted as saying that the city is at
the sales tax cap and there will be no other sales tax increases. However, the legislative program
states that the city supports legislation permitting 1/Sth of a cent over the 2 cents local sales tax cap
for fire control and prevention districts. Mr. Kopecky also said he recommends the city abandoning
the April election date and moving to the uniform May date and he said in the interest of open
government, there needs to be more restrictions on having closed meetings.
City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:
26. RESOLUTION NO. 025115
Resolution adopting the City of Corpus Christi's legislative program for the seventy-eighth
session of the Texas Legislative Session and United States Congress.
The foregoing resolution passed by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero, Garrett, Kelly,
Kiunison, Longoria, Noyola, and Scott voting "Aye"; Chesney absent.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
November 19, 2002 - Page 19
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 27, Sunfish Island and McGee Beach. Ms. Patficia
Garcia, city grant writer, explained that the General Land Office (GLO) combined these two projects
in order to save money. She said the GLO has conducted an alternatives analysis to determine the
most effective and efficient method to renourish both Sunfish Island and McGee Beach using the
dredged material and sand from the Corpus Christi Marina. She said the contractor, URS, has also
recommended the construction of a breakwater along Sunfish Island to control future erosion. In
order to proceed with the project, the city has to enter into an agreement with the GLO. Ms. Garcia
added that the Coastal Bend Bays and Estuaries Program is providing the cash match.
Responding to the Mayor, Mr. Peter Davidson, Marina Superintendent, said that originally
there were plans to dredge about 200,000 cubic yards from the inner harbor and the fairways and
place the material on Sunfish Island. However, it was determined that the erosion was occurring on
the south side of the island so the engineers decided to build two breakwaters: one to enclose the
island's east side and the other to protect the south side. He said the 700 feet of rock on the south
side was not anticipated and that plan greatly depleted the funding to dredge inside the marina.
Mr. Davidson also said that the Federal Fisheries and Wildlife Service instituted very strict
parameters for testing soil and the cleanest soil can be found on the outside of the marina. He said
the design includes a second phase to dredge inside the marina but that is not yet funded. He showed
a map of the areas to be dredged, which is scheduled to begin in mid-January 2003 and finish in the
spring. He said they are trying to f'md additional funding for this project.
Mayor Neal asked about the depth of the areas to be dredged. Mr. Davidson said this project
will involve dredging in approximately 100 feet into the marina's interior at each of the three
entrances, which will help correct the drastic shoaling that currently causes sailboats to nm aground.
He said it will cost between $300,000 to $600,000 to do the additional phase, including about
$80,000 for testing. There were no comments from the audience. City Secretary Chapa polled the
Council for their votes as follows:
27.a. RESOLUTION NO. 025116
Resolution authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute a project cooperation
agreement with the Texas General Land Office for the re-nourishment of Sunfish Island and

Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 28, Rincon Bayou diversion project. Mr. Ed Garafia,
Water Superintendent, said the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality requires biological
monitoring to evaluate the effects of the project. He said this contract is to continue the testing for
another year. There were no comments from the audience. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council:
28. M2002-398
Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute Amendment No. 1 to a
contract with the University of Texas Marine Sciences Institute in an amount not to exceed
$165,748 for biological monitoring services associated with the Rincon Bayou diversion
project.
The foregoing motion passed by the following vote: Neal, Colmenero, Garrett, Kelly,
Kiunison, and Longoria voting "Aye"; Chesney, Noyola, and Scott absent.
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 29, bond sale. City Secretary Chapa stated that
Council Member Kelly would abstain from discussing or voting on this item. The Mayor read the
following statement: "The city is delaying taking action to award the sale of the certificates of
obligation, notice of the issuance of which was published in the Corpus Christi Caller-Times on
October 5 and October 12, 2002, until a special meeting of the City Council to be held on November
26, 2002, at 11:30 a.m. in the City Council Chambers. The city is delaying taking action at this time
as bids establishing a final guaranteed maximum price for the facilities to be financed with the
proceeds of the proposed certificates of obligation have not been reviewed and a contract to hire a
general contractor has not been awarded." The Mayor made a motion to delay Item 29 to November
26, 2002; seconded by Council Member Longoria and passed (Kelly abstaining, Chesney absent).
29. POSTPONED
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
November 19, 2002 - Page 21
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 30, auto wrecker ordinance. Assistant Police Chief
Ken Bung said that staff held a fourth meeting with wrecker company representatives and they made
the following requests: eliminate the add-ons and change the drop fee to $50; seek written
authorization for private property impounds; eliminate the regulation of non-rotation wreckers; and
change the permit fee to a safety inspection fee. He said staff is recommending concurring with the
$50 drop fee request. Mayor Neal called for public comment.
Mr. Joe Dees, owner of Statewide Wrecker Service, said there are still two or three language
problems in the proposed ordinance. He said the companies feel the permit regulating all Corpus
Christi wreckers is not beneficial to the city. He said after extensive study and consultation, they feel
.the city has the right to regulate the safety end of the industry. Consequently, they do not want to call
it a permit but rather a safety inspection. Mr. Dees said the companies are also asking that the drop
fee sign not be required on the side of vehicles and he said the ordinance does not address consent
police-initiated tows. He said they want to keep those tows regulated. He added that a change in large
wreckers' working time is not included in the proposed ordinance.
Assistant Chief Bung said staff agrees to change the drop fee to $50 with no add-ons because
it would be difficult to regulate that. He said they have no opinion about the sign mqnirement.
Council Member Noyola asked if staff went through the proposed ordinance step by step with
the wrecker companies and Assistant Chief Bung said they did. Mr. Noyola then asked about specific
ordinance provisions, including offenses; application, contents and fees; insurance; towing rotations;
and large wreckers. City Manager Garcia, Assistant Chief Bung and Mr. Steve Zastrow, police legal
advisor, responded to Mr. Noyola's questions.
Mr. Jason White, of Airline Wrecker, thanked the Council for giving the companies the time
they needed to continue discussing the proposed changes. However, he said the document before the
Council is not the result of those efforts. He said there are problems with the ordinance's language
and, if it passes, it is bound to be challenged by someone. He said they do not know why their
recommendations and the reasons for them are not being brought to the Council.
Responding to Mayor Neal, Mr. Zastrow said the companies provided staff with written
comments and concerns and staff went through them very carefully. He said a lot of their concems
did not have validity when the ordinance was mad as a whole with a common sense view in mind.
Council Member Garrett asked if them is anything in the proposed ordinance that is in
violation of the law or the City Charter. Mr. Zastrow said there is nothing that violates the law and
he believes the ordinance is properly worded.
Mr. Garrett made a motion to amend Item 30 to raise the drop fee to $50 and remove the
requirement for the sign on the vehicles. Mr. Colmenero seconded the motion. Mr. Garrett asked if
the $200 work time is included and Assistant Chief Bung said it is. He suggested that Mr. Garmtt's
motion delete the add-ons to the drop fee. There was consensus of the Council to do so. The motion
to amend as stated passed (Chesney absent). City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes
as follows:

Mayor Neal called the meeting to order in the Council Chambers of City Hall. City Secreta~
Chapa checked the roll and declared that there was a quorum of the Council and the necessary
charter officers were present to conduct the meeting.
City Manager Garcia explained that the four-part item on the day's agenda essentially deals
with the financing and bond sales related to the convention center/arena project. He said it also
designates the guaranteed maximum price on the expansion of the convention center.
Deputy City Manager Noe said that Item 1 .a. is identical to a resolution the Council adopted
on October 8, 2002, and this action reiterates it. He said that Item 1.b. is the authorization of the
issuance of the debt for the convention center project, which is fimded fi.om the proceeds from the
2% increase in the hotel/motel occupancy tax with an underlying pledge of property taxes. He said
there is a need for one amendment to this item to reflect the additional $5,000 on the par amount.
Mr. Noe referred to page 50 in the agenda material which lists the way in which the monies
will be used, which ties in with Item 1.d. He said that M.E. Allison, the financial advisor on this
project, and A.G. Edwards, the senior underwriter, did an excellent job of pricing the bonds, which
have an interest rate of 4.748%. Mr. Noe said that Item 1.c. appropriates the bond proceeds as well
as the revenues received from the hotel tax, and Item l.d. sets the guaranteed maximum price with
Moorhouse-Beecroft. He said if the project is less than $25 million, the city will pay the lower
amount. Mayor Neal called for public comment on Item 1.
Mr. J.E. O'Brien, 4130 Pompano, asked if there is an amount on the bonds under Item 1.a.
of which the Council is approving the issuance. He also asked for a reconciliation of the difference
between the appropriation of $34 million and the construction cost of $25 million.
Mr. Noe said that with regard to Item 1.a., the resolution stipulates that the bonds for the
arena will not exceed $50 million and they will be sized based on the price of the project. He said
that as shown on page 50, the reconciliation of how the funds will be used include $25 million for

construction; the project's share of street work in fi.om of the building (a separate contract) of
$400,000; a contingency of $2,287,000; architectural/engineering fees of $2,044,066; furniture,
fixtures and equipment costs of $500,000; project management fees of about $2 million; the 1.25%
allocation for art of $100,000; as well as other expenses for a total of $34,185,505. He said he can
provide Mr. O'Brien with a copy of that information.
Council Member Kinnison said that while the Council is authorizing to issue up to $50
million of bonds for the arena, the projected hard construction cost for the arena still remains
approximately $35 million. Mr. Noe said that was correct. Mr. Kinnison said that any and all uses
of that money have to be specifically for the arena project.
Mr. Kiunison also asked about the guaranteed maximum price agreement. Mr. Noe said that
once the price is set, the contractor and the city will jointly bid all the subcontracts and trades. At the
end of that process, if the construction cost is less than $25 million, that is what the city's cost will
be; however, if it is more than $25 million, the difference will be the contractor's responsibility.
Responding to Council Member Noyola, Mr. Noe said all of the funding for the convention
center expansion comes fi.om the hotel/motel occupancy tax. He said the arts ordinance requires that
the city set aside 1.25% of new construction for arts. He said since the convention center project is
a combination of remodeling and new construction, the Council committed to the Arts and Cultural
Commission to set aside a certain amount ($100,000) in this budget to reach the $500,000 for both
the arena and convention center projects.
Council Member Colmenero made a motion to amend Item 1.b. to change the amount from
$31,540,000 to $31,545,000, seconded by Council Member Garrett. The motion to amend passed
on a voice vote as follows: Neal, Chesney, Colmenero, Garrett, Kinnison, Noyola, and Scott voting
"Aye"; Kelly abstaining; Longoria absent. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes:
1.a. RESOLUTION NO. 025120

Business and Job Development Corporation and the execution of a project agreement and

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Each year the City Council approves the upcoming Community Planning and Development
Grant Programs planning and an implementation calendar. The CP/AAP is the application
for funding under the community planning and development formula grant programs
administered through the U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) that include the
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME),
and Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG).
HUD regulations require the development of a five-year strategy entitled Consolidated Plan
(CP) that will bring needs and resources together and must be developed to achieve the
goals that will principally serve Iow to moderate-income persons and to provide decent
housing, a suitable living environment and expand economic opportunities. The CP will be
developed beginning January 2003 that will identity community needs with applicable
resources to meet those needs through FY2007. A one-year Annual Action Plan (AAP) will
describe the activities and projects to be assisted with funds received under the CDBG,
HOME and ESG Programs and other HUD programs that help meet housing and community
development objectives.
The proposed schedule enclosed as Attachment "A" provides a comprehensive list of
activities. Key dates are:
February 14, 2003
March 19, 2003
May 13, 2003
June 13, 2003
- Proposals for CDBG and ESG Programs Due Date
- Planning Commission Public Hearing
- City Council Public Hearing
- Consolidated Plan/Annual Action Plan submission to HUD
As in the past, neighborhood, nonprofit and focus group meetings will be conducted in
January and February. Meeting notices and requests for proposals will be published and
mailed to interested organizations. Information will be forwarded to the local media to
increase citizen participation. The adopted schedule will be also be added to the City's
Internet Home Page.
Over the 28 years of the CDBG Program, the City Council has gradually developed concise
set of City Council policies for the CDBG Program. In March 1994, these policies were
formally codified into the policies and general rules and procedures of the City Council.
Each year at the beginning of the CDBG Program staff brings these policies back to the City
Council for reaffirmation for their continued use. Staff believes that these policies are
precise enough while still allow flexibility for programs and have served the Council and the
City extremely well over the years.
Staff recommends the Council reaffirming the Community Development Block Grant Program
objectives and guidelines enclosed as Attachment "B."

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM
Through the Community Development Block Grant Program, the City Council provides for the
development and preservation of a viable urban community, a suitable living environment, decant
housing and expanded economic opportunities, principally for persons of Iow and moderate income,
and aids in the prevention or elimination of slums and blight. The City cardes out its objectives by
providing for appropriate streets and drainage, housing, recreational opportunities, neighborhood
preservation, and revitalization, and economic development as needed. To ensure that these
objectives are achieved, the following guidelines shall be as follows:
No Community Development Block Grant Funds be authorized to applicant agencies
for the support of operating expenses.
No capital grants will be made without sufficient evidenca of the financial capacity of
the applying agency to operate the program.
Priority will be given to those applying agencies that make substantial new capital
contributions to the project for which they are seeking funds.
Housing shall be maintained as the top priority for the CDBG program as well as
placing greater emphasis on public infrastructure (City) in CDBG eligible tracts.
No individually funded CDBG project will be eligible for future CDBG funding for a
minimum of two years from the date of its last funding. (This excludes projects which
are specifically staged for several years of CDBG funding such as a street project
which has its engineering funded one year and its construction the next.)

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 4, 2002
SUBJECT: Exceptional Drilling Permit
AGENDA ITEM:
Motion granting a permit to Sabco Operating Company to drill an oil or gas well located
approximately six (6) miles seaward of the Corpus Christi Marina in Corpus Christi Bay, State
Tract 53.
ISSUE:
The City Code of Ordinances, Section 35-86, requires City Council approval of drilling
permit applications for exceptional well locations in the recreational area of Corpus Christi Bay
designated as the "cluster area".
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The City Code of Ordinances, Section 35-56, sets standards for wells drilled in the area
of Corpus Christi Bay southerly of the Ship Channel and westerly of the Intracoastal Waterway.
The well surface location must be located in the westerly comer of the 640 acre state tract,
referred to as a "cluster area", to qualify as a regular location. Unless protested, permits to drill
from regular locations do not require council action. Exceptional well locations are sites outside
of the westerly comer that allow wells to be drilled as straight holes for the purpose of obtaining
the only access to the geologic target.
Section 35-56 allows the Council to grant permits for exceptional locations, outside the westerly
comer, if it is needed to prevent confiscation of property.
The Oil and Gas Ordinance was first enacted on October 13, 1971. The intent of the Ordinance
was to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public without restricting the reasonable rights
to the minerals. At that time exploration in our bay was substantial and the location of wells
needed to be regulated and grouped in designated areas for safety as well as preserving the ascetic
value of Corpus Christi Bay. Congestion ofoil and gas wells is not a problem at this time.
Sabco Operating Company has paid the $1,500 permit application fee and is requesting an
exceptional well location for the drilling of State Tract 53 #11. At the meeting on December 3,
2002, the Oil and Gas Advisory Committee recommended approval of the exceptional location.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the drilling permit application by Sabco Operating
Company.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Municipal Court applied and was awarded the grant funding requested. This year, Municipal court
is again applying for this grant. The funds must be used within the 12 specific purpose areas in an
effort to achieve the greatest impact on reducing juvenile delinquency, improve the juvenile justice
system and increase the accountability of juvenile offenders. The maximum years of funding-there
is no limit (based on availability). The deadline for application submission is December 16, 2002.
This application is for year 5 of 5 of the Juvenile Accountability Incentive Block Grant.
The City should receive these funds automatically by filing an application. As a Federal requirement
of the funding, the City has established a Juvenile Crime Enforcement Coalition (JCEC) consisting
of various representatives from the community. The Mayors Commission on Children and Youth
meets the criteria established for the coalition. The proposed purposes to continue with a dedicated
Juvenile Court, establish accountability standards and interagency sharing of information and
improvements in the management of juvenile cases at Municipal Court meet the grant's criteria.
Establishing the Municipal Juvenile court has been successful in providing the community the
dedicated services to assist in addressing the Juvenile population. The dedicated services have
allowed for better use of the various juvenile programs throughout the City.
The funding has a distribution requirement of 45 and 35 percent minimums to be used in specific
purpose areas; however, a waiver may be granted for the distribution requirement if the local unit of
government can certify that the interest of public safety and juvenile crime control would be better
served by expending the funds in a different proportion. The City is requesting such a waiver in
order to use the majority amount to continue funding one prosecutor, one Deputy City Marshal, and
the cost of the leased space. This is in addition to establishing and maintaining an interagency
information program that enables prosecutors and Judges to make more informed decisions regarding
the juveniles. Under this proposal, the funds will also be used to expand the interagency sharing of
information between Municipal Court and the Juvenile Assessment Center.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
PUBLIC HEARING -ZONING (City Council Action Date: December 10, 2002)
Case No. 1102-01~ Braselton Land Ventures~ Inc.: A change of zoning from a "F-R" Farm-Rural
District to a "R-lC" One-family Dwelling District on Flour Bluff and Encmal Farm and Garden Tracts, Section
19, being 27.896 acres out of Lots 13 and 14, located on the north side of Wooldsidge Road, approximately 1,650
feet east of Airline Road.
Plannin~ Commission and Staff's Recommendation (11/06/02): Approval.
Requested Council Action: Approval of a "R-lC" One-family Dwelling District and adoption of the
at~ached ordinance.
Purl~ose of Reauest: To develop a 166-1ot single-family subdivision.
Summary: The applicant has requested a change of zoinng on the 27.896 acre land area f~om "F-R" Farm Rural
District to "R-lC" One-family Dwelling Distzict, in order to develop a single-family residential subdivision with
direct access to an arterial, Wooldridge Road. The applicant proposes to develop 166 single-family residences on
lots ranging from 4,500 to 6,000 square feet. Typical homes will be designed as one and two stories. The
development of single-family residences along Wooldridge Road is an extension of the newly developed residential
properties to the east and across Wooldridge Road to the south.
The property is served by the Mary Carroll Channel north of the property. The slope of the property tends to be flat
and naturally drains to the south, away from the channel. Upon platting, the subject propezty may be required to
provide additional drainage R.O.W. Additionally, the Transportation Plan indicates a collector to cross the northern
area of the subject property. The Comprehensive Plan supports development of the subject property as low-density
residential.
Applicant's Position: The applicant concurs with planning Commission and Staff's recommendation.
Notification: Prior to the date of this memorandum, fifty-five (55) notices were mailed to the property owners
within a 200-foot radius, of which one (1) was returned in favor and none in opposition. This is a noncontroversial
case.

In March 2002, 7.5 acres of Lots 11 and a portion of Lot 12, located on the north side of Wooldridge
Road and east of the subject property was granted a change of zoning from a "F-R" Farm-Rural
District to a "R-lB" One-family Dwelling District for the purpose of a 54- lot single-family

property was granted a change of zoning from a "F-R" Farm-Rural District to a "R-lB" One-family
Dwelling District for the purpose of a 21-1ot single-family subdivision.
Zoning Inventory:
The subject property is the last remaining undeveloped "F-R" District located on the north side of
Wooldridge Road between Airline Road and Windsong Subdivision. North is a drainage ditch and
a residential subdivision zoned with a "R-lB" District. A five and one-half acre tract of "F-R"

across Wooldridge Road is 20 acres used as a medical facility. To the west is 8.9 acres of "B-1"
District property that is mostly undeveloped with the exception of a single-family residence.
Additionally, a small "A-2" District west of the subject property is developed with the city lift
station.
Planning Staff Analysis:
General Characteristics and Background: The applicant has requested a change of zoning on
the 27.896 acre land area from "F-R" Farm Rural District to "R-lC" One-family Dwelling
District, in order to develop a single-family residential subdivision with direct access to an
arterial, Wooldridge Road. The applicant proposes to develop 166 single-family residences
on lots ranging from 4,500 to 6,000 square feet. Typical homes will be designed as one and
two stories. The development of single-family residences along Wooldridge Road is an
extension of the newly developed residential properties to the east and across Wooldridge
Road to the south.
The property is served by the Mary Carroll Channel north of the property. The slope of the
property tends to be flat and naturally drains to the south, away from the channel. Upon
platting, the subject property may be required to provide additional drainage R.O.W.
Additionally, the Transportation Plan indicates a collector to cross the northern area of the
subject property. The Comprehensive Plan supports development of the subject property as
low-density residential.
Conformity to the Comprehensive Plan and Land Use Compatibility: Overall, the
Comprehensive Plan Elements can be supportive of the requested "R-IC" District. The
Southside Area Development Plan's adopted future land use map recommends the area to
develop with low-density residential uses. As requested, the "R-lC" District is consistent
with the Plan's recommended land use.
Zoning Report
Case No. 1102-01 (Braselton Land Ventures, Inc.)

Potential Homing Density: A "F-R" District permits a density of one dwelling unit for each
five- (5) acres or five (5) units. The "R- 1C" District permits a density of 7.26 dwelling units
per acre or 202 units. The proposed 166 lot subdivision is within the density limit of the
"R- 1C" District.
.Height/Bulk/Setbacks/Etc.: The are no setback requirements or building height limitations
m the "F-R" District. The "R-lC" District requires a front yard setback of 20 feet with a side
and rear yard setback of five (5) feet each. Buildings in the "R-lC" District are limited to
a height of 26 feet not to exceed two (2) stories.
Signage: The "F-R" District does not permit any signs unless to advertise products grown
on the property. Signs in the "R-IC" District are limited to one wall sign not to exceed one
square foot.
Traffic: The proposed 166-1ot residential subdivision is estimated to generate approximately
1,660 dally vehicle trip ends. This traffic will access directly to an arterial, Wooldridge
Road. The amount of traffic generated from the proposed subdivision and recently approved
residential subdivision will continue until such time full improvements have been completed.
P~_._~_~_g_g/Screenin~g: Residential development is required to provide 1.5 off-street parking
spaces for each one bedroom dwelling unit or two (2) off-street parking spaces for each
dwelling unit containing two (2) bedrooms or more. Compliance with the off-street parking
regulations will be required during the permitting phase. A standard screening fence is not
required for residential development.
Costs to City: Development of the infrastructure within the proposed subdivision will be at
the developer's expense. The improvement of Wooldridge Road to its ultimate pavement
width may require City participation.
Platting: The subject property is a portion of several lots and will require platting before a
building permit may be issued. A preliminary subdivision layout has been submitted to Staff
for review.

Planning Commission Minutes
November 6, 2002
Braselton Land Ventures, Inc.: 1102-01
REQUEST:
"F-R" Farm-Rural District to "R-lC" One-Family Dwelling District on property
described as Flour Bluff and Encinal Farm and Garden Tracts, Section 19, being
27.896 acres out of Lots 13 and 14, and located on the north side of Wooldridge
Road, approximately 1,650 feet east of Airline Road.
Mr. Saldafia presented a computerized slide illustration of the subject property and the
surrounding area. The subject property is the last remaining undeveloped "F-R" District located
on the north side of Wooldridge Road between Airline Road and Windsong Subdivision. North
is a drainage ditch and a residential subdivision zoned with a "R-lB" District. A five and one-
half acre tract of "F-R" District is located south and east of the subject property and is develop
with a church. Further south, across Wooldridge Road is 20 acres used as a medical facility. To
the west is 8.9 acres of"B-l" District property that is mostly undeveloped with the exception of a
single-family residence. Additionally, a small "A-2" District west of the subject property is
developed with the city lift station.
The applicant has requested a change of zoning on the 27.896 acre land area from "F-R"
Farm Rural District to "R-lC" One-family Dwelling District, in order to develop a single-family
residential subdivision with direct access to an arterial, Wooldridge Road. The applicant
proposes to develop 166 single-family residences on lots ranging from 4,500 to 6,000 square
feet. Typical homes will be designed as one and two stories. The development of single-family
residences along Wooldridge Road is an extension of the newly developed residential properties
to the east and across Wooldridge Road to the south.
The property is served by the Mary Carroll Channel north of the property. The slope of
the property tends to be flat and naturally drains to the south, away from the channel. Upon
platting, the subject property may be required to provide additional drainage R.O.W.
Additionally, the Transportation Plan indicates a collector to cross the northern area of the
subject property. The Comprehensive Plan supports development of the subject property as low-
density residential.
Mr. Saldafia presented a future land use map from the Southside Area Development Plan
which recommends the area to develop with low-density residential uses. As requested, the
"R-lC" District is consistent with the Plan's recommended land use. Staff recommends approval
of the rezoning request.
There were 55 notices mailed to property owners within a 200-foot radius of which one
(1) was retumed in favor and none were returned in opposition.
Chairman Berlanga opened the public h~earing. No one appeared in favor or opposition.
Public hearing was closed.
Chairman Berlanga asked what Wooldridge Road was going to be developed as, to which
Mr. Saldafia said that it would be a four-lane arterial.

Page 2
In response to Vice Chair Mims' question regarding access to the subdivision, Mr.
Saldaiia stated that there would eventually be three (3) access points.
Commissioner Pusley commented that the subdivision would be exiting through the
Airline Road subdivision and Windsong East and that the only exit to major arterial was
Wooldridge Road. Mr. Saldafia stated that a timeline for improvement of Wooldridge has not
been established.
Commissioner Pusley questioned whether Staff had any additional traffic concerns. Mr.
Gunning stated that he needed to verify the information regarding improvements to Wooldridge
Road.
Motion by Salazar, seconded by Stone, to forward a recommendation for approval of the
zoning. Motion passed with Richter, Smith, and Zamora being absent.

the "AT" Apartment-Tourist District for one family residential lots and applicable only on

City Council Agenda Memorandum
"AT" Apartment-Tourist District Amendments
December 5, 2002
Page 2
BACKGROUND: The 2001 annexation and zoning of Mustang Island created several
unforeseen problems with several one family lots in five existing single-family residential
subdivisions. These problems relate to undeveloped lots having to meet development
standards for one family development that are higher than found in the City's other
residential zoning districts and higher than Port Aransas requirements for one family
development.
In 2001, barrier island areas next to the Gulf of Mexico were zoned for "AT" Apartment-
Tourist Zoning District, which provides for the highest density residential development but
also permits one family development. The one family developments in an "AT" District are
required to meet high-density condominium development standards for minimum lot size,
lot width and, side and rear yard setbacks. The minimum "AT" requirements are:
· Lot size of 10,000 square feet;
· Lot width of 85 feet; and
· Side and rear yard widths of 10 feet.
The table below indicates existing subdivisions and lots that do not meet the minimum "AT"
District requirements.
Existing Subdivisions Located East of State Highway 361 on Mustang Island
Subdivision Lot Sizes Recording Date
La Concha Estates 13 Lots less than 6,000 sq. ft. (1 is 4,988 sq. ft April 23, 2002
and 1 is 4,942 sq. ft.)
46 Lots less than 10, 000 sq. ft.
(Nearly all lots < 85 ft. wide)

The proposed changes to the "AT" District will allow the existing and future undeveloped
lots to be constructed with one family homes and five foot side and rear yard setbacks
consistent with other residential district setback standards. In addition, a reduction of lot

size for one family to 5,000 square feet and a reduction of lot width to 50 feet will make
Corpus Christi zoning requirements competitive with Port Aransas standards for one family
barrier island development. The proposed amendments will not affect "AT" Apartment

Attachment 1: Excerpt from Planning Commission Minutes
November 20, 2002
"AT" APARTMENT-TOURIST DISTRICT ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT - Public
Hearing
Mr. Gunning informed the Commission that when the City annexed property on Mustang Island in
1999 and 2001, there were several subdivisions that had been previously platted to be developed with single
family residences. Staff recommended the zoning be "AT" Apartment Tourist District which allows a single-
family use; however, the proposed subdivisions were impacted by the "AT" District 1 O-foot side and rear yard
setback requirements. The proposed amendment also reduces the minimum lot size for the barrier island to
5,000 square foot with a 5-foot rear and side yard setbacks. Mr. Gunning added that land owners and
developers were concerned that in order to be competitive with developments in Port Aransas, the minimum
lot size needed to be reduced to 5,000 square feet or less, consistent with their regulations.
In meetings with the developers, it was presumed that the annexed property and use would be
grandfathered. However, the City allows recently advised that only the plat, the front yard setback, and the lot
size and width are grandfathered as shown on the approved plat. Side and rear yard setbacks are not
depicted on plats; and therefore, subject to the zoning in this case, the "AT" District requirement for 10~foot
side and rear setbacks. The text amendment to the mAT" District would allow developers to proceed with their
projects and plat owners to obtain single-family building permit.
Mr. Doyle Curtis, Sr. Assistant City Attomey, emphasized that the proposed amendments
would affect only properties zoned an "AT" District for single-family residential development on a
barrier island.
Public hearing was opened.
Jim Urban, 2725 Swantner, responded Commissioner Amsler's question regarding utility
location by stating that utility location is under the street and not in the rear setback.
Commissioner Amsler expressed concern with the unlimited height restriction and side yard
setback. He stated that there would not be any open space if buildings could be developed as row-
type homes.
Mr. Urban asked for information regarding the lot width in relation to a cul-de-sac. Mr.
Gunning stated that the lot width is defined as an average of the width between the building line and
the front property line.
Commissioner Amsler asked about open space in relation to the beach area for the district.
Mr. Urban explained that lots backing up to the beach have 50 feet that extends in the Gulf of
Mexico, and 200 feet along to the beach for public access, and 300 to 500 feet of critical dune area.

These areas are non-accessible. Mr. Urban explained that there is a requirement for park dedication
and also wetland areas need to be preserved.
Public hearing closed.
Commissioner Pusley expressed concern with creating amendments for a few subdivisions.
Mr. Curtis explained that the developers requested the amendment for the entire Island as opposed to
certain subdivisions.
Motion by Pusley, seconded by Zamora, to reopen the public hearing. Motion passed with
Beflanga and Mims being absent.
Jim Urban, 2725 Swantner, stated that the land area on Mustang Island is equally split
between the City o f Corpus Christi and Port Aransas. It has been his experience that only 10 projects
have been completed in five (5) years. He said that the lots being sold are approximately 5,000
square feet and added that the proposed amendments would alleviate problems arising from being
unable to develop the property with single family residences.
Commissioner Richter agreed with trying to alleviate the current problem, but not to applying
the proposed zoning to the entire Island. She suggested creating a separate zoning that would be
applicable to the area, save the environment, and provide developable land. With respect to the park
dedication, Commissioner Richter suggested that the beach not be included in the calculation and
calculations should be amended to allow for preservation of an open space area.
Public hearing was closed.
Motion by Smith, seconded by Zamora, to accept the amendments as submitted and include a
caveat that Council make it a high priority that Staff review the Mustang/Padre Island Plan with
respect to preserving and protecting our natural state of the barrier island within 12 months. Motion
passed with Berlanga and Mims being absent.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
December 10, 2002
AGENDA ITEM:
Motion approving the creation of the City of Corpus Christi Economic Development Office.
BACKGROUND:
The City currently contributes to the Corpus Christi Regional Economic Development
Corporation (EDC) on an annual basis for the creation of jobs and recruitment of new
industry and private investment in the City. In order to provide stronger and more consistent
support for EDC efforts, I am recommending the creation of an Economic Development
Office within the City organization. The Director of this new office will report directly to me,
which will facilitate a more timely response via efficient and effective flow of information
to and from the EDC and various City departments - such as Development Services, Utilities,
Engineering, Airport, Streets, OMB, Finance, etc.
In addition, this new office will provide staff support for 4A Board programs and initiatives,

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
December 10, 2002
AGENDA ITEM:
Ordinance approving the FY 2002-03 Capital Budget in the amount of $229,913,200
ISSUE: The City of Corpus Christi's Comprehensive Plan, as outlined in the City Charter,
requires the development of a capital improvement program and annual capital budget. The
City Council shall approve the Plan and Capital Budget within sixty days of submission by
the City Manager (submitted on November 5, 2002).
BACKGROUND:
The City Council received an overview of the Proposed FY 2002-03 Capital Budget and
Capital Improvement Planning Guide on November 19th. In addition, a public heating was
held to receive citizen input. After considerable discussion, the City Council directed Staff
to review the Water Supply Program projects to ensure that the Padre Island Desalination
Facility and the Garwood Water Supply Pipeline projects reflected a high priority status.
Staff has further reviewed and adjusted the project timelines to reflect a more aggressive
schedule for water supply projects. The Padre Island Desalination Facility now reflects
construction in Year 3 (FY 2004-05) and the Garwood Water Supply Pipeline reflects
construction in Year 11 (FY 2012-13). The original timeline reflected Year 5 and Year 25,
respectively. Should demands for water increase and/or changes in historical weather
patterns warrant an acceleration of the project timeline, the funds will be moved forward in
the Capital Improvement Plan.
On November 5, 2002, citizens approved several economic development initiatives that will
require amendments to the CIP. Funding for the construction of a baseball stadium
($15million), a housing initiative program ($500 thousand per year) and marina-related
utility improvements ($2.844 million) are now reflected in the Short-Range CIP.
The following table summarizes revised project expenditures for the Short-Range CIP:

are outstanding and unpaid such that the pledge of the taxes granted by the Issuer under
Section 7 of this Ordinance is to be subject to the filing requirements of Chapter 9, Business
& Commerce Code, then in order to preserve to the registered owners of the Notes the
perfection of the security interest in said pledge, the Issuer agrees to take such measures as
it determines are reasonable and necessary under Texas law to comply with the applicable
provisions of Chapter 9, Business & Commerce Code and enable a filing to perfect the

entitled to a writ of mandamus issued by a court of proper jurisdiction compalling and requiring
the City Council and other officers of the Issuer to observe and perform any covenant,
obligation or condition prescribed in this Ordinance. No delay or omission by any registered
owner to exemise any right or power accruing to him upon default shall impair any such right
or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or acquiescence therein,

the Issuer certifies that based upon all facts and estimates now known or reasonably expected
to be in existence on the date the Notes are delivered and paid for, the Issuer expects that the
proceeds of the Notes will not be used in a manner that would cause the Notes or any portion
of the Notes to be an "arbitrage band" within the meaning of section 148 of the Code, and the
regulations prescribed thereunder. Furlhermore, the Mayor and each Authorized

proceeds of the Notes, regulate investments of proceeds of the Notes, take such other and
further actions and follow such procedures, including, without limitation the method of
calculating yield on the Notes, as may be required so that the interest on the Notes shall
continue to be excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes under the Code.
The Issuer further covenants that the proceeds of the Notes will not be used directly or
indirectly so as to cause all or any bart of the Notes to become a "private activity bond" within
the meaning of section 141(a) of the Code. In complying with the provisions of this Section,
the Issuer shall be entitled to rely upon an opinion of Bond Counsel.
In furtherance thereof, the Issuer covenants as follows:
(a) to take any action to assure that no more than ten percent of the
proceeds of the Notes (less amounts deposited to a reserve fund, if any) are used for
any "private business use," as defined in section 141 (b)(6) of the Code or, if more than
ten percent of the proceeds are so used, that amounts, whether or not received by the
Issuer, with respect to such private business use, do not, under the terms of this
Ordinance or any underiying arrangement, directly or indirectly, secure or provide for
the payment of more than ten percent of the debt service on the Notes, in contravention
of section 141 (b)(2) of the Code;
(b) to take any action to assure that in the event that the "private business
use" described in subsection (a) hereof exceeds five percent of the proceeds of the
Notes (less amounts deposited into a reserve fund, if any), then the amount in excess
of five percent is used for a "private business use" which is "related" and not
"disproportionate," within the meaning of section 141(b)(3) of the Code, to the
govemmental use;
(c) to take any action to assure that no amount which is greater than the
lesser of $5,000,000, or five percent of the proceeds of the Notes (less amounts
deposited into a reserve fund, if any), is directly or indirectly used to finance loans to
persons, other than state or local governmental units, in contravention of section141(c)
of the Code;
(d) to refrain from taking any action which would otherwise result in the Notes
being treated as "private activity bonds" within the meaning of section 141(b) of the
Code;
(e) to refrain from taking any action that would result in the Notes being
"federally guaranteed" within the meaning of section 149(b) of the Code;
(f) to refrain from using any portion of the proceeds of the Notes, directly or
indirectly, to acquire or to replace funds which were used, directly or indirectiy, to
acquire investment property (as defined in section 148(b)(2) of the Code) which
produces a materially higher yield over the term of the Notes, other than investment
property acquired with -
(1) proceeds of the Notes invested for a reasonable temporary
period of three years or less or, in the case of a refunding bond, for a pedod of
30 days or less until such proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the
notes are issued,
(2) amounts invested in a bona fide debt service fund, within the
meaning of section 1.148-1(b) of the Treasury Regulations, and
(3) amounts deposited in any reasonably required reserve or
replacement fund to the extent such amounts do not exceed ten percent of the
proceeds of the Notes;
(g) to otherwise restrict the use of the proceeds of the Notes or amounts
treated as proceeds of the Notes, as may be necessary, so that the Notes do not
otherwise contravene the requirements of section 148 of the Code (relating to
arbitrage) and, to the extent applicable, section 149(d) of the Code (relating to
advance refundings); and
(h) to pay to the United States of Amedca at least once dudng each five-
year pedod (beginning on the date of delivery of the Notes) an amount that is at least
equal to 90 percent of the "Excess Earnings" (within the meaning of section 148(f) of
the Code) and to pay to the United States of America, not later than 60 days after the
Notes have been paid in full, 100 percent of the amount then required to be paid as a
result of Excess Earnings under section 148(f) of the Code.
In order to facilitate compliance with the above clause (h), a "Rebate Fund" is hereby
established by the City for the sole benefit of the Unitsd States of America, and such Rebate
Fund shall not be subject to the claim of any other person, including without limitation the
registered owners of the Bonds. The Rebate Fund is established for the additional purpose
of compliance with section 148 of the Code.

defined in the Treasury Regulations and, in the case of refunding bonds, transferred proceeds
(if any) and proceeds of the refunded bonds expended prior to the date of the issuance of the
Bonds. It is the understanding of the Issuer that the covenants contained herein are intended
to assure compliance with the Code and any regulations or rulings promulgated by the U.S.
Department of the Treasury pursuant thereto. In the event that regulations or rulings are
hereafter promulgated which modify, or expend provisions of the Code, as applicable to the
Notes, the Issuer will not be required to comply with any covenant contained herein to the
extent that such modification or expension, in the opinion of Bond Counsel, will not adversely
affect the exemption from federal income taxation of interest on the Notes under section 103
of the Code. In the event that regulations or rulings are hereafter promulgated which impose
additional requirements which ara applicable to the Notes, the Issuer agrees to comply with
the additional requirements to the extent necessary, in the opinion of Bond Counsel, to
preserve the exemption from federal income taxation of interest on the Notes under section
103 of the Code.

tax-exempt status of the Notes. For purposes of this Section, the City shall not be obligated

any item of Project will not be sold or otherwise disposed in a transaction resulting in the
recei pt by the City of cash or other compensation, unless the City obtains an opinion of Bond
Counsel substantially to the effect that such sale or other disposition will not adversely affect
the tax-exempt status of the Notes. For purposes of this Section, the portion of the property
comprising personal property and disposed of in the ordinary course of business shall not be
treated as a transection resulting in the receipt of cash or other compensation. For purposes
of this Section, the City shall not be obligated to comply with this covenant if it obtains an
opinion of Bond Counsel to the effe~ that such failure to comply will not adversely affect the
excludability for federal income tax puq~oses from gross income of the interest.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
December 10, 2002
AGENDA ITEM:
Appropriating $2,050,000 from the sale of City of Corpus Christi, Texas Tax Notes, Series
2002 in the No. 5110 Maintenance Services Fund for purpose of paying contractual
obligations incurred or to be incurred for the renovations of the former Frost Bank Building
(creation of Emergency Operations Command Center and One Stop Development Center)
and for purchase and installation of City Hall chillers; transferring $508,880 to the No. 3160
City Hall CIP Fund to reimburse funds trans£ecred under Ordinance 025051 for the One Stop
Development Center; amending Ordinance No. 024974 which adopted the FY 2002-2003
Operating Budget by increasing appropriations by $2,050,000
ISSUE:
The City has several short-term funding requirements for the One Stop Developm~nt Center
and City Hall chiller system. After consultations with the City's financial advisors and bond
counsel, it was determined that the most advantageous method o£ funding would be the
issuance of short-term tax notes.
BACKGROUND:
In an effort to provide enhanced level of services for emergency operations and development
services, the City entered into a lease/purchase agreement for the former Frost Bank at the
Leopard/Port St. intersection. The building already houses Fire Department Administration
and the new Emergency Operations Center. Remaining work is for finish out of the first floor
as the new One Stop Development Center. The original lease agreement provided for a
$500,000 allowance from Frost Bank to the City for improvements and an additional
$500,000 short-term loan for this purpose was subsequently issued as well. In addition to
funding the balance of improvements needed, this new loan of $2,050,000 will replenish
funds used to pay the existing loan and reimburse City Hall CIP funds spent to issue the most
recent construction contract. Finally, the air chillers at City Hall are in need of emergency
replacement. Following is a summary of the use of funds to be appropriated:

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
BACKGROUND: The existing cooling system consists of two gas absorption chillers
supplying chilled water to variable air volume (VAV) air handlers. The chilled water system
consists of two 243-ton Hitachi gas fired absorption chillers. While the equipment is
properly sized, the current system is incapable of meeting cooling demand. A January
2001 evaluation by Bath Engineering found the chillers were producing only 80% (194-
tons) of the designed capacity. The reduced cooling was due to several factors relating
to the age of the equipment. The factors include:
1. reduced pump efficiencies from the absorbers;
2. deteriorated and damaged tubes; and
3. tube foiling.
The system is increasingly subject to unanticipated failures. City Hall does not have an
alternative ventilation system, and is reliant on proper operation of the HVAC system.
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION:
July 24, 2001 - Approval of the FY2001-2002 Annual Budget, Ordinance No. 024528.
April 23, 2002 - Motion authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to execute an
engineering services contract with Bath Engineering in the amount of $96,900 for
replacement and upgrade of the City Hall Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning Chillers
and Control System (Project No. 4270).
PRIOR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION:
May 22, 2002 - Award of Amendment No. 1 providing for engineering services with Bath
Engineering to be phased with a Phase I chiller replacement fee of $54,000 and a Phase
2 allowance fee of 42,900 for HVAC distribution, control systems and terminal unit
repair/replacement modifications.
FUTURE COUNCIL ACTION:
Award of a construction contract for HVAC distribution, control systems and terminal unit
repair/replacement modifications.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project will result in the replacement of two (2) existing 243
natural gas absorption water chillers with one (1) 250 ton natural gas absorption water
chiller and one (1) 200 ton natural gas absorption chiller with necessary controls, electrical,
pumps, and piping modifications. This configuration will allow for improved efficiency in
addressing base and peak cooling load requirements.
Gas absorption technology is well established, and has improved substantially since the
units being replaced were installed. The two replacement units are capable of 200 and
250 ton each. This will allow a "lead-lag" operation of chiller usage based on demand. The
new units are also capable of operating between 30 and 100 percent of the rated capacity.

Commercial Paper Note Program, Series B, and authorizing the City Manager to negotiate a dealer
agreement with said firm.
ISSUE:
The City's adopted Capital Improvement Program uses a commercial paper short term borrowing
financing strategy. The City issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for commercial paper dealers
through its financing advisor, M. E. Allison on October 21,2002. Nine responses were received. A
review of the proposals was conducted by City Staff and M. E. Allison. Based on the criteria listed
in the RFP, it is staff's recommendation that the firm of Morgan Stanley & Co., Incorporated,
represented by Barry Adair and Richard Weiss be appointed as the commercial paper dealer for the
City, according to the terms of their proposal at a rate of four (4) basis points as their fee.
The City received 8 responses from interested firms on November 1, 2002 to serve as commercial
paper dealer. After staffs review of the proposals with M. E. Allison & Co., Inc., the City's financial
advisor, we recommend the firm of Morgan Stanley to serve as commercial paper dealer for the new

Morgan Stanley has underwritten $175,500,000 in Utility System Bonds for the City since 1999
including the Mary Rhodes Pipeline and has helped develop the Utility System Model the City
currently uses.
Morgan Stanley currently serves as remarketing agent for $507 billion of outstanding commercial
paper world wide, $7.7 billion of which is "pure" tax-exempt commercial paper or exempt variable
rate demand notes that trade in a commercial paper mode, of which approximately $2.5 billion is
currently outstanding. In the State of Texas, Morgan Stanley serves as a dealer for a number of tax~
exempt commercial paper programs, including a $ 500 million program for Dallas Fort-Worth
International Airport, a $200 million program for the Harris County Flood Control District, a $150
million program for the Harris County Toll Road Authority, and a $100 million program for Rice
University. Morgan Stanley has maintained an office in Austin dedicated solely to public finance
since 1987. The firm has 32 retail offices in Texas, staffed with 642 financial advisors managing
nearly 230,000 accounts with total assets in access of$16.3 billion, including $2.0 billion in directly-
held municipal bonds.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION:
Approval of the Resolution approving Morgan Stanley & Co., Incorporated as dealer for the City's
Utility System Commercial Paper Note Program, Series B, and authorizing the City Manager to
negotiate a dealer agreement with said firm.

original wash water tank, constructed in 1954 currently provides service to the plant's
original twelve filters, as well as ten additional filters constructed in1982. Improvements to
the Wash Water System under this project includes the addition of a new Wash Water
Pump Station, enhancements to the instrumentation and controls, filter to waste drain, and
yard piping which will result in improved filter performance and compliance to new TNRCC
regulations.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project consists of installation of a 60-inch drain line and
associated junction boxes, manholes, and slide gates; Wash Water Supply Pump Station
and associated 72-inch supply and 42-inch discharge piping, valves, and sluice gate; Wash
Water return Pump Station and associated 16-inch force main piping, valves, meter vaults,
and slide gates; 24- and 20-inch Filter to Waste piping, valves, and meter vaults; cable
trays and electrical, SCADA and instrumentation. Also included in this project is the

responsive due to the failure of the contractor to execute the bid bond. Therefore, City
Staff and the City's Engineering Consultant, LNV, Inc. d.b.a. Smith, Russo & Mercer,
recommend that a construction contract be awarded to the lowest responsive bidder in the
amount of $8,920,125 to Laughlin-Thyssen, Inc. of Houston, Texas.
