Mayor Neal referred to the'
the Corpus Christi Economic Devl
called the New Markets Tax Crc,
Council that the new program was ~,
federal tax credits to a designated
~resentations on the day's agenda. The first presentation was by
',lopment Corporation (EDC) regarding a new federal program
lits. Mr. Ron Kitchens, President of the EDC, informed the
imilar to the Renewal Community program in that it grants 39%
area within the community. Unlike the Renewal Community
program, Mr. Kitchens stated that ae New Markets program much simpler to use. The goal of the
program is to provide incentives for investment in areas designated by the federal government, by
census tract, as low to moderate income. He said that this area would include the majority of the
city limits, much of the area serviced by the Port of Corpus Christi in Nueces and San Patficio
counties, and the industrial districts. He said that the tax credits are awarded in annual competition
taking place every September. Mr. Kitchens stated that the EDC was proposing to submit an
application to form an organization eligible to receive the tax credits. He said that the requested
amount of tax credits would be in the range of $80 million. He commented that an added benefit
was that the New Markets Tax Credits could be used in addition to the Renewal Community tax
credits, making it possible for new development to receive nearly 80% in tax credits if successful.
Mr. Kitchens stated that the Port of Corpus Christi had already endorsed the program, and
that the EDC was now seeking the Council's endorsement. City Manager Noe added that there was
a cost associated with the program, and that Mr. Kitchens had been very assertive about raising
private sector dollars in excess orS 150,000 to pay for the legal and planning costs involved. He said
that the city and the Port of Corpus Christi were being asked to jointly contribute $75,000, so the
city's share would total approximately $37,500. Mr. Noe said that there were monies set aside in
the CDBG administrative budget for this project, and a future council action would be scheduled
authorizing an agreement with the EDC to participate in this project. The total estimated cost of
the project was $200,000. Council Member Noyola asked Mr. Kitchens to meet with him to discuss
the program in more detail. Council Member Scott offered Mr. Kitchens the assistance of the city's
Washington D.C. lobbyist to further their cause.
The last presentation item was a quarterly update on Solid Waste Services. Mr. JeffKaplan,
Director of Solid Waste, discussed on the distribution plans for the second phase of the automated
garbage service program, to begin in September 2003. He said that 21,000 households would be
added to the automated routes in Phase II, for a total of 54,000 households. Additionally, he said
that 18 more positions had been eliminated through attrition, for a total automation savings of 54
FTEs. In accordance with the recommendations made by Gershman, Brickner & Bratton Inc.
(GBB), the city' s solid waste consultant, Mr. Kaplan stated that all routes will be placed on a six-day
schedule (M-Th, T-F, W-S). He also said that yard waste will be co-mingled with residential waste,
per GBB's recommendation. Mr. Kaplan reviewed the aspects of the community campaign that the
Solid Waste department would be employing to inform the citizens about the changes.
Mr. Kaplan discussed the pl~ans for Phase III of the automated garbage service program, to

the routes would continue to be se~iced by semi-automated equipment, in accordance with GBB's
recommendations.
Mayor Neal asked Mr. Kal~lan how those customers requesting "back door service" would
affect the implementation of automated garbage service. Mr. Kaplan replied that "back door
service" routes have been established using semi-automated service to accommodate those
individuals. Council Member Garrett asked if the 18 eliminated positions were primarily temporary
employers. Mr. Kaplan replied lfhat these were permanent positions that had been eliminated
through attrition. Assistant City Manager Massey added that the department had found it difficult
to keep these positions filled beca~use they were low-paying, thus requiring the use of temporary
employees. Mr. Garrett asked how the department handles those customers who lay additional trash
next to their cart. Mr. Massey replied that they are issued a notice to remind them to either place
their trash in the cart or request an additional cart. He said that the goal was to encourage customers
to use the cart. Finally, Council Member Garrett asked that when the final phase of the automated
garbage service was implemented, would there be any areas in the city that would not have
automated service? Mr. Kaplan replied that every household would receive a cart, and that 80% of
the households would receive automated service. The remainder of the households would receive
semi-automated service.
Council Member Colmenero asked if the city had encountered any problems with
automation. Mr. Kaplan replied that areas intensely packed with parking, cul-de-sacs and other
situations that impede the ability of the trucks to reach the driveways would receive semi-automated
service, amounting to approximately 20% of households. Council Member Cooper asked if the city
had realized a reduction in work-related injuries because of the automation. Mr. Kaplan replied
affirmatively, but said that worker safety and training was still a focus.
Mr. Kaplan reviewed the recycling operation, providing four options the city could consider
to rejuvenate the program. The first option was to continue the existing recycling program,
consisting of a pick-up frequency of every two weeks with separate recycling collection, budgeted
for FY 03-04 at $982,000. Mr. Kaplan stated that there are approximately 17,000 customers
participating in the program, or 23%. The state's suggested goal was 40%, but this was not
mandated. Council Member Kinnison asked about including commercial recycling in the program.
Mr. Kaplan replied that commercial recycling was possible, but would require an citywide ordinance
requiring that the material be separated and collected separately. He also said that the city would
need to partner with the private sector to be successful. Mr. Massey added that outside haulers like
BFI provided service to commercial accounts primarily for recycling cardboard. Council Member
Scott asked if a program would be implemented to encourage recycling. Mr. Kaplan replied that
staffwas encouraging citizens to recycle in one way by stressing that the benefits of recycling over
purchasing an additional cart. Mr. Kaplan also said that the 40% goal set by the state was based
on landfill diversion, not participation rates. Other states with successful programs, like California,
have more commercial participation with state-mandated goals and more federal incentives.
The reduced service level program (Option 1) would still provide eurbside service with a
reduced frequency of once a month. Mr. Kaplan reported that the projected annual cost of this
program would be $694,273,55% of the current cost. The enhanced service level program (Option
2) would move to once a week recycling and garbage pick-up, beginning with a pilot program. He
--6--
Minutes - Regular Council Meetin~

said that each household would r{ceive two carts but the recycling cart would have a different
colored top. He added that the rec2~cling would be separated at an enhanced sorting facility, not by
the customer. In response to Mr. K[elly's question, Mr. Kaplan said that although the city has made
tremendous strides in recycling, tlhe success of the program would benefit from more state and
federal assistance.
Finally, the last option he p~esented was a new program (Option 3) which would transition
from curbside to drop off center. T[he program would require that five centers be built over a five-
year period. Council Member Sc(~tt asked if the new program would further decrease recycling
participation rates. Mr. Kaplan responded that this option could be used in combination with other
options. He said a benefit to this p~ogram would be location and availability. The facilities would
be open seven days a week, ten hohrs a day. In addition, the resident would not have to store the
material for a period of time and the sites would accept more materials besides recycling (e.g. brush
and hazardous household waste).
Mr. Kaplan briefly reviewed the re-engineering of the brush collection program, which
included a six-day work week and a five-week cycle throughout the city. He highlighted
modifications to the Cash for Trash program, primarily by eliminating carpet collection. Finally,
he provided a status on the Househeld Hazardous Waste events, curbside bulky item collection and
the Litter Critter Program.
Mayor Neal referred to Item 17, and a motion was made, seconded and passed to open the
public heating on the following zoning case:
Case No. 0503-02, Robert !. & Earlene B. Jones: A change of zoning from a "FR" Farm-
Rural District to a "RE" ReSidential Estate District on 2.00 acres out ora 28.9767 acre tract

Lots 15 and 16, Section 25 on Flour Bluffand Encinal Farm and Garden Tracts, located east
of Airline Road and approximately 650 feet north of Yorktown Boulevard.
City Secretary Chapa said the Planning Commission and staff recommended the approval
of the "RE" District. No one appeared in opposition to the zoning change. A motion was made,
seconded and passed to close the public hearing. Council Member Kelly asked if there was any way
to avoid the "panhandled" lot that would be created by this development. Mr. Gunning said that in
this specific instance, this type of lot would not be problematic. However, he acknowledged that
panhandled lots were not ideal and should be restricted more by the city's codes.
Mr. Chapa declared an emergency and polled the Council for their votes. The following
ordinance was passed by the following vote: Neal, Chesney, Colmenero, Cooper, Garrett, Kelly,

questions regarding this case: 1) would the wooden bridge over the drainage ditch be replaced; 2)
would Wooldridge Road support the additional traffic; and 3) does the drainage ditch have the
capacity for this new development. Assistant City Manager Massey said that the bridge was on two
lists for replacement, either by the storm water improvement budget or by TxDot, and was a long-
term project. He replied that the drainage ditch does have the capacity to work with this new
development. Finally, Mr. Massey said that Wooldridge Road can support the additional traffic.

City Secretary Chapa said that the Planning Commission was recommending a denial of the
application. However, staffwas recommending the denial of the "B- 1" District, and in lieu thereof,
approval ora special permit for a parking lot subject to six conditions. Mr. Gunning explained that
when the case came before the Planning Commission, the applicant was out-of-the-country, and his
representative, Mr. Clark Flato, did not have the authority to accept the compromise. Thus, the
Planning Commission denied his request. However, Mr. Flato, 4321 Floyd, said that he had since
spoken with the owner, who was amenable to the special permit. A motion was made, seconded and

Mayor Neal deviated fi.om the agenda and referred to item 20, and a motion was made,
seconded and passed to open the public hearing on the following zoning case:
Case No. 0403-01, Albert 1~. Villarreal: A change of zoning fi'om a "AB" Professional Office
District to a "B- 1" Neighborhood Business District on Southwood Subdivision, Block 1, Lot
7, located on the south side of Gollihar Road, approximately 280 feet west of Kostoryz
Road.
City Secretary Chapa said that the Planning Commission was recommending the denial of
the "B-l" District, and in lieu thereof, approval of a special permit for a mattress retail/clearance
sales business and enclosed storage of mattresses subject to nine conditions. He said that staffwas
recommending a denial.
Mr. Gunning said that staff was against the change in zoning because it would extend a
commercial use into the existing neighborhood and because heavy trucks would be delivering
mattresses, damaging the frontage road. He said that the applicant was in agreement with the
Planning Commission's recommendation for a special permit.
Mayor Neal asked for public comment. Mr. Albert Villarreal, the owner of Mattress
Clearinghouse at 3129 Gollihar, said that the site had historically been used for retail purposes and
he did not know that he did not have the proper zoning. He said that he has the neighborhood's
support to remain in business on this site. Mr. Villarreal added that he maintains his property well
and overall was a good neighbor. He said that he was in agreement with the conditions of the
special permit except for condition 8, which would limit the size of delivery trucks to one ton, and
asked it would be possible to amend this requirement. Mr. Charles Nichols, 1547 League Lane,
spoke in support of the applicant.
A motion was made, seconded and passed to close the public hearing. Council Member

Mayor Neal called for a fifteen-minute recess.
The Council returned from recess, and Mayor Neal deviated fi.om the agenda and opened
discussion on Item 24 regarding the city's health insurance program. The Council had a number of
concerns, including the following: Cost for stop loss insurance for each proposal; differences in the
plan years shown; and an explanation of the term "nonaggregated claims expense" in the Entrust
proposal. A discussion and detailed analysis ensued.
Council Member Chesney commented that the Council had been told that they did not
receive good numbers for the Entrust proposal. He asked Mr. David Jacobson with Entrust to
indicate which specific costs he disagreed with in the committee's evaluation. Mr. Jacobson replied
that there were two specific costs that he felt should not have been included in the report. First, the
inclusion of an $8.57 per month nonaggregated claims expense, totaling $335,567, was counted
twice, resulting in a higher bottom line number. Mr. Keith McNeely with McGriff, Siebels and
Williams, Inc., the city's health insurance consultant asked Mr. Jacobson what made up the $8.57.
Mr. Jacobson responded that the $8.57 was comprised of the $3.25 per claims transaction fee plus
the $1.92 network provider cost plus the $3.50 dental admininstration cost. Mr. McNeely responded
that if that were the case, then the $8.57 was included twice in the report. By including this amount

Minutes - Regular Council Meetifig

only once, the total fixed costs for Entrust would be decreased by approximately $333,000. Ms. Lee
Ann Dumbauld, Director of FinanCial Services, pointed out that the third column fi-om the right on

claims expense, or $941,848.

umber of claims Mr. McNeely estimated for the year was 56,000
:quated to $182,000 of costs added to the Entrust proposal. Mr.
;hould be included as a fixed cost, but rather should be included
as a claims expense. Mr. McNeely commented that ultimately, this expense must be paid, regardless
of where it was included. This cost, however, was not included in Entmst's proposal as either a
fixed cost or claims cost.
Mr. Jacobson also stated that Entrust used a monthly fee for pre-certification of $1.15 per
month per transaction, whereas the city showed $1.23 per month per transaction. This would lower
Entmst's total (excluding non-aggregating claims expense) by approximately $3,000, or $938,484.
Mr. Jacobson then disputed the number of claims used to derive the $182,000 or 56,000
claims per year. He felt the number of claims averaged 4,000 per month, which equates to 48,000
claims per year. Ms. Dumbauld clarified that actual transactions were now running 72,000 claims
per year, which would equal $234,000. This $52,000 would increase Entmst's fixed costs to
approximately $991,000 ($938,484 plus $52,000).
Mr. Jacobson also took issue with the inclusion of a prescription drug administration expense
listed under PBM (Prescription Benefit Management) fees, saying that this cost was included in the
administration of health benefits. Mr. McNeely replied that prescription drug administration was
not included in the PBM fees. Rather, this category included an administrative charge applied on
a per script basis through Walgreen's of 40 cents, which Entrust listed in their proposal.
The Council discussed the gross physicians claims amount that was shown for Christus
Spohn. Mayor Neal asked for clarification of the discount percentage for physicians that Humana
was offering. Mr. McNeely answered that Humana was offering a 45% average bill discount while
Spohn was offering a 35% discount. Council Member Chesney referred to an Entrust report that had
been circulating which showed that Spohn was in fact offering a 43.96% physician discount rate.
Mr. McNeely replied that the report was using paid claims and not gross claims as the base number
to obtain the 43.96%. He stated that it did not include the amounts that the employees had already
paid, so it was not a tree representation of the discount. Mr. McNeely concluded that Humana
offered approximately $800,000 in savings over Entrust (using the Spohn network), primarily
based on the savings differential on the physician side of the network.
Mayor Neal observed that it was now time for public comment for items not on the agenda.
He asked to postpone the discussion on item 24 so that it could take place.
Mayor Neal called for petitions fi-om the audience. Mr. John Torrey, 7253 Yaupon Drive, -12-
Minutes - Regular Council Meetin~
June 10, 2003- Page 13
spoke regarding a letter he had se~t the Council about problems with the enforcement of the solid
waste haulers' permit and alleged ~xemptions on insurance for some haulers. Mr. Jim Lotspeich,
728 Sea Breeze, Mr. Luciano Olfvera, 3519 Olson, Mr. Vance Dawson,416 Highway 181 in
Gregory, TX, and Ms. Phyllis Hatcher also spoke about problems with the solid waste haulers'
permit. Assistant City Manager ROn Massey replied that two compliance officers will be hired to
enforce the requirement for a permit. He said that initially, the Solid Waste department was
attempting to educate the haulers o[a the requirements before penalizing them. He stated that Solid
Waste was now ready to increase ~eir enforcement efforts. The Council asked Mr. Noe to respond
to Mr. Torrey's letter in writing.
Mr. Jerry Garcia, 1901 Lorltte, and Mr. Henry Saavedra spoke regarding problems with the
enforcement of the by-laws of the Southside Pony League as they applied to disruptive parents.
Council Member Noyola asked that staff meet with them to discuss the matter.
Mr. Danny Noyola, 4410 Acushnet, reported that the Moody Neighborhood Association was
moving to a citywide focus, changing their name to the Corpus Christi Barrios Association to reflect
this difference. He thanked stafffor their efforts in furthering neighborhood economic development.
Mayor Neal re-opened the discussion on item 24 regarding the city's health insurance
program. Council Member KinnisOn commented that today's recalculations and controversies over
the numbers were irrelevant in matay respects because what was binding was what the companies
cited in their original proposal. COuncil Member Garrett asked for information on the following
questions: 1) what would be the employees' out-of-pocket maximum; 2) what would the co-pay be
for prescriptions and office visits; 3) by what percent would health care increase; and 4) after the
contract between Spohn and Humana expired in eighteen months, would Spohn renew. Ms.
Dumbauld replied that the out-of~pocket maximum would double from $1,000 to $2,000 for
employee only coverage and from $3,000 to $6,000 for employee and family coverage. Ms. Adria
Schrieber-Garza, Senior Analyst for Risk Management, said that co-pays for office visits and
prescriptions would increase by $5 ,across the board: fi.om $15 to $20 for an office visit, fi.om $5 to
$10 for generic drugs, from $30 to $35 or 30%, whichever was higher, for name-brand drugs. She
said that health insurance costs would increase by 20% for civilian employees and 23% for Police
and Fire in FY 04. In regard to the contract between Spohn and Humana, Ms. Dumbauld replied that
Humana has agreed that if the number of hospitals and physicians does not remain consistent with
their proposal, the city would reserve the right to do another RFP.
Council Member Chesney asked Mr. McNeely if the team were to give Entrust every
deduction it had asked for, would Humana still offer a better deal financially. Mr. McNeely said that
based on the information provided in the proposals and the analysis that had been completed,
Humana offered the better deal. In response to Mr. Chesney's question, Ms. Dumbauld said that the
actuarial report in October 2002, with March 2003 revisions, had projected increases of 14.5% in
FY 03 and 16% for FY 04. However, the actual increase as of May 31, 2003, compared to FY 02,
was 27.4%. City Manager Noe added that, unfortunately, staffhad made optimistic assumptions
over the past two years which did not bear out.
Council Member Scott asked staffto address a concern that the one major claim this year in
the Police Department was the cause of the increases because the city was seeking to recoup its
-13-
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
June 10, 2003 - Page 14
losses from the rest of the employers. Ms. Dumbauld replied that for the last two years, the city has
been fortunate that there had been pnly one very large claim per year. She said that the actuary has
stated that an organization of the city's size and demographics should see three to four very large
claims in any given year. She concluded that this year was more the norm, accounting for the
increase. Council Member Scott observed that the city was $1,000,000 in the red in the Citicare plan
alone.
Mr. Chesney asked if Humana had a full-time medical director with a local office. Mr. Rob
Hitchcock, President of Humana, replied that Humana had two full-time medical directors located
in San Antonio and Austin (regional director for commercial products) and a local part-time medical
director who also worked for Christus Spohn. Mr. Chesney asked Mr. Hitchcock why Humana's
TPA costs were so much higher than the other proposers. Mr. Hitchcock replied that Humana had
an infrastructure in place which worked to provide those extra services that made their company a
good deal. He also cited the costs associated with the enhanced oversight they experienced from
outside agencies because they are an insurance company, not a TPA. Council Member Chesney
expressed concern that the city would be paying for Humana's overhead expenses when they did not
directly benefit the city. Mr. Hitchcock replied that in his view, when the total benefit package was
combined, the city was benefitting. He added that Humana would not dispute their costs because
they were very straightforward.
Council Member Cooper commented that she had received many calls from city employees
who were concerned about this decision. She said that she would also be taking the quality of
service and consistency into consideration, not just the cost of service. She asked Mr. McNeely why
the city should chose Humana. Mr. McNeely replied that Humana would save the city
approximately $5 million over five years and that employees will be able to use both the Spohn and
HCA systems.
Council Member Scott commented that the cost of the program was a primary consideration.
If the city were to stay with Entrust, then the city would have to recoup the $1 million shortfall some
other way, most likely through the employees. He felt that asking employees to pay $1,000 over five
years would be unacceptable. He said that it would bother him if the city did not accept the savings
that Humana was offering, with the added benefit that the employees would more than likely be able
to keep their current physicians.
Council Member Noyola stated that, like Council Member Cooper, he had been contacted
by city employees who said they were satisfied with Entrust and did not want to change. He said
that he had been contacted by employees with CCISD who had Humana insurance and said they
were not satisfied. He stated that he thought the $1 million shortfall was due to a prior mistake made
by staff.
Council Member Colmenero asked about out-of-network physicians. Mr. McNeely replied
that the employee could contact Humana about adding the physician to the network. If the physician
does not want to join Humana's network, then Mr. McNeely said that the employee would have to
decide whether to receive decreased benefits by continuing to see the physician or to change
physicians.
Council Member Kinnison commented that the quarterly report showed that the city lost $3 -14-

|
million over nine months. He questioned whether the 20% increase would be enough to cover the
shortfall. He concluded that due tb the current financial situation, it would be difficult to remain
with the same plan because it was hot the lowest cost proposal. He added that in addition to being
the low cost plan, the Humana pl~ offered employees more choice and quality service. He asked
Mr. Noe to communicate with theiemployees about the upcoming changes in the plans because it
would be simple to blame the increases on the change in insurance provider.
Mayor Neal called for public comment. Mr. Tony Heep with Chrisms Spohn said that he
thought the evaluation process waslflawed from the beginning because they did not provide the five-
day comment period. He felt thatlsome of the evaluation results were unsubstantiated. He took
issue with the number of physicians shown in the evaluation matrix, the claims experience shown,
and the level of experience worki~ig with public entities. Mr. Steve Warner, CEO of the Corpus
Christi Medical Center, spoke lin support of the evaluation process used to make this
recommendation.
Mr. David Jacobson with Efitrust provided the Council with a report summarizing his points
of contention. He stated that he felt the $1 million in savings from the physicians claims touted in
the evaluation results were overinflated because they included duplicate claims, ineligible charges,
and non-covered claims. He contended that in reality, the Spohn system was similar in cost to the
Humana system, so the difference between the two was negligible. A discussion and detailed
analysis ensued regarding the report.
Council Member Kelly asked Mr. Jacobson that, assuming that his contentions were
accurate, why should the Council choose Entrust as the TPA over Boon Chapman, the highest
scoring TPA. Mr. Jacobson replied that Entrust provided service that appeared to please the
employees; performed weekly site visits; was the only TPA with a local office; handled claims
quickly; and had a local medical director, among other reasons.
Mayor Neal stated that due to the late hour, he asked to postpone the remaining items on the
agenda for a later date, namely the budget presentation, the executive sessions, and the legislative
update.
Council Member Kiunison questioned Mr. Jacobson's figures showing that the city would
save $12 million with Entrust. Mr. Jacobson said he based his figures on the presentation made to
the Council on May 27, 2003, using his actual figures. Mayor Neal asked Mr. Jacobson to explain
why he thought $6 million in charges were due to duplicate billing and ineligible charges. Mr.
Jacobson said that it was the best explanation, but could be subject to other variables. He also said
that he did not know why the city was using gross physician amounts instead of paid claims
amounts, which were normally used. However, Mr. Tony Heep with Chrisms Spohn said that he
wanted to dispel the notion that there was a significant amount of charges due to duplicate bills.
Upon further discussion, Mayor Neal noted that the Entrust report which Mr. Jacobson had
just distributed to the Council had physician costs classified as hospital costs, and that appeared to
be the reason why the physician costs were lower. The total of the two costs, however, was very
close to the numbers reflected on Chrisms Spohn's report. Mr. McNeely pointed out that physician
discounts and hospital discounts are utilized by the networks and not the TPA.

Minutes - Regular Council Meetifig
June 10, 2003 - Page 16
Mr. Jacobson concluded that the administrative costs quoted by Entrust were initially wrong,
but had now been shown to be competitive for TPA services. He said that if the Council eliminated
the physician discount which he was disputing, the costs between Spohn and Humana would be
negligible. Thus, the choice for TIaA would be between Boon Chapman and Entrust, and he hoped
the Council would consider reneming with them.
In his closing remarks, Mri McNeely said that the evaluation was a team effort, completed
in a fair and accurate way. He defended the accuracy of the evaluation results. He asked that the
Council not only consider what was best for the city's bottom line, but also to consider what was
best for the employees. Council Member Chesney asked Mr. McNeely if he was 100% confident
that the Humana plan would provide the same coverage that the employees had now and would
realize approximately $1 million in savings. Mr. MeNeely said he would put his professional
reputation on the line regarding the accuracy of the numbers.
Assistant City Secretary Juarez polled the Council for their votes, and the following motion
passed with the following vote: Neal, Chesney, Colmenero, Garrett, Kelly, Kinnison and Scott,
voting "Aye"; Cooper and Noyola, voting "No".
24. MOTION NO. 2003-210
Motion authorizing the development of a three-year contract with two one-year renewal
options between the City of Corpus Christi, Texas, and Humana Health to administer the City's self-
funded health, dental, and vision benefits plans; to provide and administer a health services network;
and to provide pharmacy benefits management through Advance PCS.
Mayor Neal called for the City Manager's report. City Manager Noe said that he did not
have a report.
Mayor Neal called for Council concerns and reports. Council Member Colmenero asked Mr.
Noe for a report from the Chief of Police on what transpired yesterday with the Southside Pony
League. He asked that the Park and Recreation department provide copies of the lease agreement
for the park used by the Southside Pony League. He congratulated Mr. Noe on his report for
Channel 10.
There being no further business to come before the Council, Mayor Neal adjourned the
Council meeting at 10:10 p.m. on June 10, 2003.

Budget for $299,913,20(3 (Ordinance No. 025144).
PRIOR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION:
1. June 2, 2003 - Executed small consultant agreement with Felix H. Oca~as, Jr., P.E.
in the amount of $24,95CI for the Rolled Curb and Gutter Replacement and Sanitary
Sewer Manhole Ring and Cover Adjustment FY 2003 Re-Bid.
PROJECT BACKGROUND - ~OLLED CURB & GUTTER PROGRAM:
Engineering Services maintains a list of citizen requests for drainage and other
improvements. When a complaint is received, the location is inspected to determine the
nature and extent of the problem. Complaints that can be addressed immediately are
referred to the Storm Water Department. Other problems are categorized by the location,
extent and type of problem.
A large number of drainage problems are caused by faulty rolled curbs and gutters.
Correction of rolled curb and gutter rarely involves a spot repair. Rather, it usually requires
reconstruction of at least a significant section of a block to restore the flow line and to avoid
moving the problem to another location. The presence of underground storm sewer pipe
and distance to existing inlets is also a consideration. The rolled curb and gutter
replacement program identifies and groups individual problems into a work program in a
defined geographic area that is ~responsive to residents and attractive to contractors. Areas
considered hazardous to vehicular or pedestrian traffic will receive priority over those areas
where only drainage is affected.
This is a yearly program that addresses damaged rolled curb and gutter in residential
neighborhoods throughout the city. Affected curb and gutter are removed and replaced,
along with associated pavement repair where gutter slopes are inadequate. The amount of
curb and gutter replacement is determined by the availability of funding. This project will
include work on residential streets within an area bounded by: · Louisiana Parkway- Ocean Drive to Staples
· Staples Street- Louisiana Parkway to DoddridgeANeber
· Doddridge/Weber- Staples to SPID
· SPID WB Frontage Road - Weber to Everhart
· Everhart- SPID to Ocean Drive

PROJECT BACKGROUND - :~ANITARY SEWER MANHOLE RING/COVER ADJUST.
This is a new program responsive to citizen complaints regarding poor ride quality along
more heavily traveled arterial streets. This project will target specific streets in an
aggressive program and will include both public and private utility manhole adjustments.
This approach will be accomplished through:
· recently completed City and TxDOT projects,
· several on-going projects, and
· this current contract.
It is the City's intent to correct the variances in elevations that disrupt vehicular traffic and
provide a smoother continuous riding surface along the City's major streets. Not only will
wastewater and storm water manholes be corrected, but private utility providers
Southwestern Bell and CPL/AEP Electric have agreed to cooperate with this project and
financially participate as required to accomplish this objective.
Work will include new manhole frames, rings and covers to be adjusted to correct
pavement elevation and cross slopes to improve street drive-ability and quality along the
following streets:
· Staples Street - from Leopard to Texan Trail
· South Staples Street - from Holly Road to Saratoga Blvd.
· Everhart Road - from Alameda Street to Yorktown Blvd.
· Airline Road - from Ocean Drive to Cimarron
· McArdle from Airline Road to Holmes
· Kostoryz- from South Staples to Saratoga
· And other priority locations as determined by staff and subject to availability
of funding.
This contract will result in the completion of pavement enhancements of complete sections
of several thoroughfares. The following streets will be completed through the coordination
of several projects, including:
· South Staples Street from Leopard to Saratoga
o Bond Issue 2002 project C-5 (on-going), and
o This current contract
· Everhart Road from Alameda Street to Yorktown Blvd.

entirety, involved in the construction or reconstruction, should Director deem it
necessary, upon thirty (30) diays written notice from Director. The Director, in his

portion or portions to be vacated with a consideration toward the safety of partici-
pants and spectators.

Lessee has no action for damages against nor will be compensated by City for
loss of use of the Premises and its Improvements. City has no obligation to pro-
vide an alternate location for Lessee during the Improvements construction or re-

condition or of the breach oflany covenant or condition of this Lease by either par-
ty at any time, express or implied, will be taken to constitute a waiver of any sub-
sequent breach of the coverjant or condition nor will justify or authorize the non-
observance on any other occasion of the same or any other covenant or condition

caslon, any consent or appr(~val given on said occasion will not be deemed a con-
sent or approval of the same or any other action at any other occasion.

ISSUE: A Status report on the re-engineering program
BACKGROUND: Re-engineering is progressing on schedule. The computerized work
management system (MAXIMO) has been installed in the Water Department's Production
Activity and the Wastewater Treatment activity, and is currently being used to more
effectively manage work. We are currently laying the foundations for implementation in our
out-plant utility activities: Water Distribution, Wastewater Collection, Gas, and Storm
Water. Scheduled implementation for those activities is in late July. The Maximo "work
management system" will be integrated with the City's GIS when the system goes live in
July for the out-plant utility activities.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Under the Community Renewal
million of Commercial Revitali;
taxpayers to deduct 50 percent
placed in service or deduct qL
beginning with the month in whi
Act of 2000, each Renewal Community is allocated $12
ation Deductions (CRDs) each year. The CRD allows
of their qualified expenditures in the year the building is
alified expenditures ratable over a 120 month period,
h the building is placed in service. Without this incentive,
the taxpayer would depreciate ~he property over 39 years.
The State Plan requires each renewal community to develop and approve a local plan for
nominating projects to receive Commercial revitalization deductions. Projects nominated
by the City Council are forwarded to the Texas Department of Economic Development for
final certification. The Texas Department of Economic Development sends the
certifications to the City, and thei City sends a copy of the certification to the taxpayer. The
taxpayer receiving the certificatien is responsible for retaining their copy of the certification
and filing the deduction on their tax returns.
According to a recent IRS notiGe, a renewal community can only receive $12 million of
CRDs each year, and unallocalted CRDs can not be aggregated by the state (with the
exception of CRDs from 2002).; Last year, the City nominated $24 million of projects to
receive Commercial Revitalization Deductions. The following is a table of projects
nominated in 2002 by the City Council
