Mayor Neal noted that Qouncil Member Cooper was absent today because she was
recovering fi.om surgery. He said ~hat she would be recuperating for several weeks. On behalf of
the Council, he wished her a quicl~ recovery and wished her family well.
Mayor Neal referred to thq presentations on the day's agenda. The first presentation was
Item t 3 regarding the Regional Transportation Authority (RTA) Downtown Streetcar Alignments
and Technology. Ms. Linda WatsOn, Director of the RTA, said she was joined by Board Chairman
Mike Rendon, to provide a brief Overview and presentation on the status of the Streetcar project.
She said that no action was required today, but she welcomed the Council's comments. She noted
that the RTA Board was scheduled to decide whether to move forward with this project during their
October 8 meeting.
Ms. Watson provided a bribfbackground on the project. She said that a year ago, when the
city approved their capital improvement projects, she was repeatedly asked what the RTA was
planning to do to address the parkiOg and congestion problems in the downtown area. At that point,
Ms. Watson said that the RTA partaered with the city, the Downtown Management District (DMD),
the Port of Corpus Christi, and the MPO to fund a feasibility study. She stated that the RTA wanted
to learn what role public transportation would play in the downtown area to connect the projects.
She said that the results of the study would be provided shortly.
Ms. Watson stated that the next step in the project was to review the environmental
assessment process. She noted that the RTA had held a technical workshop last week to obtain
broader input from the communiW on the streetcar project. She said that RTA staff would be
presenting this item to the Board of Directors at their next board meeting on October 8 to ask them
to narrow down the vehicle technology and also the alignment to two options.
Ms. Watson also mentioned that last month, a group of city, port, DMD and RTA staffwent
on a trip to visit the streetcar systems in Tampa, FL and New Orleans, LA. She mentioned that city
staff also were able to visit the desalination plant in Tampa. She said they received a great deal of
input from these visits. Most importantly, Ms. Watson said that they learned that the key to a
successful project was the cooperation from all the palmers in the community. She said that their

~g the feasibility study, Mr. Wulkan said that the entire gamut of
to determine which type would be most compatible with the size
they also looked at every street in the downtown area to see
be feasible.
Mr. Wulkan stated that tha results of Phase 1 of the feasibility study determined that the
following: a high capacity transit v~as feasible to carry forward into the environmental assessment
phase; and that the streetcar was tl~e preferred technology. He said that the RTA board accepted
those recommendations and approx~ed moving into the second phase, environmental assessment and
preliminary engineering. Mr. Wultzan noted that the RTA began this phase a month ago, and it was
expected to take 12 months to con~plete. He reported that the RTA had submitted a management
plan, a purpose and needs stateme~at and a public participation plan. He said that now, they were
at the screen alignment/technologY option stage, which involved narrowing down the alternatives.
Once that decision was made, he said that the remaining nine months would be spent in
implementing an extensive outreach program and technical evaluation to determine whether or not
to proceed with the program.
Mr. Wulkan provided more~ detail on the purpose and need statement. He said that it would
define the transportation problems br needs anticipated without the project. It would also define the
project goals and objectives to address the problems or needs. He said that it was required by the
federal process and would be completed within the next two weeks.
With regard to the public involvement plan, Mr. Wulkan said that it would outline all of the
target audiences to get them involved. He noted that the target audiences included the following
groups: public and civic leaders; downtown property owners, business owners and workers; city
residents; and visitors and tourists. He mentioned that Ms. Carol Scott was the Manager of Public
Involvement. He said that the goals of the public involvement plan were the following: obtain
significant public input; key decisions by RTA board, public officials, and FTA whether to move
project forward; and project implementation.
Mr. Wulkan stated that while staff was waiting to make the recommendation to the RTA

lization Pilot Program specifically for streetcars.
With regard to the Transit Planning Workshop held last week, Mr. Wulkan said that the goals
of the workshop were to recommend transit vehicle technology and to recommend two alignments.
He said that the workshop presented two vehicle technology options that were appropriate for the
Corpus Christi area, buses or stree!cars. They broke all the alignments in the downtown area into
six parts for evaluation purposes. He said that the alignments were basically as follows: 1-37
North, 1-37 South, whether to go to the coliseum, and what the alignment should be East to West.
Mr. Wulkan stated that the WOrkshop results overwhelmingly indicated that the streetcar was
the preferred vehicle technology. He said that three preferred alignments emerged fi.om the
workshop. He noted that all three alignments had a downtown loop (east/west) in common. He said
that the preferred alignments we,re Chaparral Street, Water/Chaparral Streets and Shoreline
Boulevard. Mr. Wulkan said that they also asked if the initial line should extend to the Memorial
Coliseum/Holiday Inn/Spohn Hospital. He said that the answer was yes. He also said that they
asked for input on how future marina development should be served by transit. Mr. Wulkan reported
that there were three suggestions: ;~ rubber tire trolley; privately operated tram service; and having
the streetcar mn close to Shorelin~ Boulevard for access.
In conclusion, Mr. Wulkan l'eferred to the environmental assessment schedule and noted that
they were at the beginning of the process. He said it was an exciting project and that they were
getting a great deal of cooperation ifrom the community and others.
Council Member Colmenero asked if it was necessary to have a line running along John
Sartain and Lipan Streets. He suggested nmning the line down Shoreline Boulevard instead. Mr.
Wulkan replied that this option had been discussed before, but he explained that since they were
applying for federal transit funds, that had to make a direct connection to the existing transit system.
He said that they had to make the strongest possible case that the project had a transit purpose, and

Council Member Kinniso~ asked what the current ridership was to go from City Hall to
downtown. Ms. Watson replied th,t there were between six and eight thousand daily boardings and
arrivals at the Staple Street station. She said that she could not say what the riders final destination
was. Mr. Kinnison expressed his concern that the trolley system would have to go the City Hall and
the County Courthouse, since the trolley system was designed to attract tourists. He also expressed
his concern that this route would not be cost effective, because he did not believe that there would
be enough demand from the ridership to warrant the expense of building this particular route. Mr.
Wulkan replied that it would be difficult to obtain federal funds for the project if did not connect
directly into the current transit system. Ms. Watson added that another benefit of connecting to City
Hall and the County Courthouse Was the available parking, which would facilitate a park and ride
arrangement.
Mr. Kinnison asked if the timing of the streetcar project would coincide with the stormwater
system improvements downtown. City Manager Noe replied that there was more urgency for the
downtown drainage improvement~, so there would be a great deal of coordination that would need
to take place for the two processes ko work together. Mr. Kinnison noted that much of the drainage

The next presentation x~as Item 14 regarding the Fourth Quarter FY 2002-2003
Budget/Performance Report. Ms.~indy O'Brien, Acting Director of Management and Budget,
stated that the information containgd in the report represented preliminary year end financial data.
She said that the Budget Office made every attempt to account for and include outstanding
encumbrances and anticipated final adjustments based upon current information available. She
noted that the final audited results Would be reflected in the city's Comprehensive Annual Financial
Report (CAFR) due for completioniin November 2003. She added that the City Council goals/issues
had been updated and were included as a separate section.
Ms. O'Brien said there were a number of issues that had to be considered in the preparation
of the budget. She noted that the city had lost $1 million in revenues from the hospital district that
had been used to fund the Health Department. She also said that, due to deregulation, the city's
electric franchise revenue had also been declining, resulting in a reduction of $1 million in revenues.

Regarding General Fund expenditures, Ms. O'Brien reported that all departments were at or
under budget. She said that this r{flected positively on the management, who managed to reduce
expenditures when revenues did no~ meet expectations. Ms. O'Brien discussed several general fund
fiscal notes, including the unanticipated expenses related to storm/tornado costs, a sales tax audit
adjustment of $796,125 and significant measures to curtail overall operating costs. She said that the
year end result was a preliminary net increase of $1.3 million in unreserved fund balance, mainly
due to a reduction in department egpenditures.
Regarding the YTD enterprise fund revenues, Ms. O'Brien noted that water fund revenues
were recording at 95 percent. Sl~e said that the low consumption was attributable to the large
amount of rainfall the city had in 2002-2003. She noted that the gas fund had fluctuated due to the
fluctuating cost of fuel. With regard to the wastewater fund, Ms. O'Brien pointed out the fund was
running 164 percent of budget at this time because of the proceeds of the advance refunding in 2003.
If this portion of the budget was removed, then she said that the budget would run 93 percent of
revenues. With regard to YTD ex@enditures, Ms. O'Brien said that the utilities funds correspond
with the changes noted in the revegue percentages.
Ms. O'Brien reviewed a n~amber of notes regarding the combined utilities, including the
following: storm/tornado related qosts; lower water sales; higher PGA "pass through" costs; and
significant measures to curtail operating costs. She said that the year end result was the programmed
draw down of the fund balance.
With regard to the internal service fund revenues, she noted that Maintenance Services was
running higher than normal became of the $10 million loan they had received for improvements to
the One Stop Center. Ms. O'Brien noted that the internals service fund expenditures were running
under budget except for Risk Management, which was running over budget due to rising medical
costs.
Ms. O'Brien provided a aumber of Risk Management fund fiscal notes, including the
following: self-insurance claims lower than budget estimates; employee funded benefits accounted
for separately as a "pass through"icost; and general liability remediation work funded directly by
departments. She concluded that the year end result was an improved year end position compared
to earlier budget estimates, running $1.2 million in the black.
With regard to Special ReVenue funds, Ms. O'Brien reported that the Hotel Occupancy tax

Mayor Neal remarked that the seawall construction would present an excellent opportunity
to remove the median on Shoreline Boulevard near the arena and convention center. City Manager
Noe replied that the South Centr~tl Area Development Plan contained a major discussion and
recommendation on this issue for the Council's consideration. Mayor Neal reiterated that the city
should seriously consider removifig the medians near the arena and convention center. City
Manager Noe said that staff wouldl provide a rough cost estimate for removing the medians.
City Engineer Escobar ren~arked that the purchase of the land with an option to buy an
additional 80 acres for the Public Safety Training Facility was on the agenda today. City Manager
Noe said that the site was ideal but that it had to be broken up into phases because the land
acquisition cost was not built into the bond issue. Mr. Escobar said that the design for the fire tower
and the shooting range would be available in November 2003.
Mayor Neal referred to Item 16, and a motion was made, seconded and passed to open the

Mayor Neal deviated from the agenda and opened discussion on Item 10 regarding a letter
of agreement for the Nueces River Watershed Feasibility Study. Assistant City Manager Massey
explained that the Corps of Engineers (COE) had completed a reconnaissance study of the Nueces
River basin, which identified 10 projects as being of COE interest. He said that projects of COE
interest usually involved ecosystem restoration or flood damage control. He said that if the COE
found co-sponsors for these projects, then feasibility studies could be conducted to determine the
viability of the projects.
Mr. Massey said that under federal rules, the COE and co-sponsors shared the cost of the
Minutes - Regular Council Meeti~

feasibility study on a 50-50 basis. ~fthe project was determined to be feasible and a decision was
made to execute the project, up to ~5 percent of the construction cost could be funded by the COE.
He said this was a distinct advantage to working with the COE.
Mr. Massey stated that all.l>f the projects identified in the study would be executed in the
Nueces River Basin. He said that tlte important ecosystems dependent on the Nueces River System
were the Hill Country streams and associated springs and the Nueces Delta and Estuary. He said
that the reconnaissance study identified the following ten potential projects, and of these projects,
six were chosen to continue into the~ feasibility phase. Mr. Massey said that staff felt that any project
taking place in the Nueces Bay BaSin was of interest to the city, because the outcome could further
or detract from our water rights inlhe area. He said that each of the six projects was mentioned in
the Regional Water Plan as a wa~ to optimize our watershed, create drought-proof supplies or
demonstrate environmental benefitts to Coastal Bend Bays and Estuaries. He listed the six projects
as follows: Cotulla diversion; two-way pipe with off-channel storage; desalination; recharge
enhancement projects; wastewater diversions to the Nueces River Delta (treated effluent placement);
and brush control.
Mr. Massey said that therei were five other agencies besides the COE that had expressed
interest in becoming co-sponsors for various combinations of those projects. He said that staff's
accomplishments to date were thel following: identified co-sponsors; developed a Draft Project
Management Plan, including phasing of projects and clear stopping points; and developed draft
Federal Cost Share agreement. He said that the final draft Federal Cost Share Agreement covered
the following: obligations of the parties; method of payment; study management and coordination;
termination or suspension; as well as - disputes, maintenance of records, relationship of parties,
prohibition against lobbying and obligations of future appropriations.
Mr. Massey said that the cOst to complete all six projects are estimated at $10 million and
take four to five years to complete, with a 50-50 cost share between the COE and the co-sponsors.
Thus, the co-sponsors would be required to contribute $5 million. He said that it was estimated that
the city's share of the total cost of the feasibility study would be $1.7 million, or 17 percent, if all
six studies were taken to completion. He noted that the agreement was written so that an individual
study could be terminated prior to completion. He said that in-kind contributions would be accepted.
Council Member Scott asked why the city was providing financial support for the recharge
enhancement project when it appeared that it would benefit San Antonio at our expense. Mr.
Massey replied that if in fact the project was found to be feasible and was approved for federal
funding, then the city should be inx{olved to assure that the mitigation was properly addressed. Mr.
Scott took exception to this, sayir~g that it seemed like a high price to pay to protect the city's
interests. Mr. Massey replied thatlthe mitigation could be a desal plant or other valuable project.
Mr. Scott stated that he opposed toifinancially supporting a project that would benefit San Antonio
at our expense. Mr. Massey replied that if one looked at all six of the projects, four of the projects
would benefit Corpus Christi.
In response to Mr. Colmen~ro's question, Mr. Massey said that San Antonio could proceed
with its plans without Corpus ChriSti's input. He said that the city can fight the project either on the
outside or on the inside of the process. He said that by participating in the agreement, the city was
not required to agree with the project.

Council Member Kelly asked if there were any ideas on how to address flooding downstream
of Lake Corpus Christi. Mr. Ma~sey replied that in his opinion, the most cost effective way to
prevent flooding would be to findi ways to manage the water so that more can be used for water

study. He said that the city would also be providing $105,000 to meet the first year's cash match
as part of the federal cost-sharing agreement. Mr. Massey said that future funding would be
appropriated a year at a time, with ihe Council's approval. City Manager Noe added that if the city
decided that they did not want to continue with the project, they could pull out and the entities could
still continue with the process.
Council Member Colmenero stated that he did not like the fact that this resolution was
presented to the Council for thei~ consideration less than 72 hours before they had to make a
decision. He asked Mr. Massey tolavoid this in the future.
City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:

SUBJECT: Rincon Bayou Diversion (Projects No. 8379 & 8416)
Award of Contract for Biological Monitoring Services
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: See Exhibit B.
FUTURE COUNCIL ACTIONS: ~ contract with the University of Texas Marine Sciences
Institute will be present to Counc~il in the near future. Council will be requested to approve
amendments to address monito~'ing on an annual basis for two additional years. TCEQ
has also requested monitoring e'f the effects of the Allison WWTP Diversion project be
continued at a reduced level for t~vo additional years. That monitoring has been combined
with the Rincon monitoring due t~ the overlap of the data and to reduce monitoring costs.
The City has worked closely withithe Texas Commission for Environmental Quality (TCEQ)
to develop a unified monitoring work program for the Rincon Diversion Project. The
frequency and amount of future amendments will be based on the requirements of the
Rincon Monitoring, and the level of monitoring required by Allison project, as determined by
an annual assessment.
PROJECT OVERVIEW:
BackRround: The City's~ overall strategy for long-term water supply includes the
optimization of the existing freshwater resources in the Nueces River Basin. The
current operating plan for the Choke Canyon/Lake Corpus Christi reservoir system
includes requirements to provide freshwater inflow to the Nueces Estuary that
diminish the dependable water supply for the region. The City completed a two-
phased planning study that recommended the potential beneficial re-use of
wastewater effluents as a means of enhancing the productivity of the Nueces
Estuary that may alleviate part of the need to provide fresh water from the reservoir
system.
Monitorin,q: The biological and chemical evaluations being conducted will
document the effects of the wastewater effluent and freshwater diversions to the
Rincon Delta and Nueces Bay. The TCEQ requires that the effects of the discharge
of the Project be monitored for productivity by measuring changes in biomass and
growth rates of plant and animal communities in the Project area and nearby
wetlands.
CONSULTANTS INFORMATION:
The Center for Coastal Studies (CCS) has conducted similar on-going monitoring in the
Project area for the City or other agencies, such as the Corpus Christi Port Authority. As a
result, CCS is singularly qualified to continue the provide monitoring Rincon Bayou

Due to the importance of the Allisor~ Diversion Demonstration Project to the City of Corpus Christi and the
citizens of the Coastal Bend, measures must be implemented to ensure the overall working integrity of the
project. Because of the semi-remote location of the project the following tasks will be performed during
the collection events:
1. Inspect the entire above ground pipeline route from the Nueces River to the three diversion cells
for possible leaks or operational failure;
2. Inspect all diversion celt walls for possible erosion or other failures which may hinder operations;
3. Inspect all above ground inflow valves, pipes, and discharge points within the diversion cells for
any signs of operational failure;
4. Visually inspect all perimeter fencing at the project for possible breaks;
5. Conduct bird surveys of the diversion cell area;
6. Provide for immediate inspection response, on a 24-hour on call basis, should the City of Corpus
Christi determine that a problem exists at the project area.

DNR will exchange freshly calibrated Hydrolab units with units on station every other week. DNR will
provide post calibration and preparation units for future service. All salinity and dissolved oxygen
stations consist of a Hydrolab water quality sonde, a radio, modem, and 12 volt solar power system.
DNR may separately contract a maintenance agreement to ensure the continued reliability of the
Hydrolab. The maintenance agreement must ensure that the instruments deployed are as good as, or
better, than factory standards.
Data Collection
DNR will program a computer to p~ll each station every half hour. Five measurements will be obtained
from each instrument, which are tt)en averaged. DNR will place the hourly averages into the database
and be reported on the DNR web ~ite. Daily salinity reports are produced showing the running ten and
seven day averages as well as th~ daily average (http:lldnr.cbi.tamucc.edulsalrpt). Monthly salinity in
relation to the Upper and Lower Salinity bounds is found at http:l/dnr.cbi.tamucc.edu/salrel, which is used
to determine if the City may take cl'edit from freshwater release from the storage facilities.
Instrument Calibration
DNR will ensure all calibration standards used are NIST traceable, and purchased from a qualified
instrument maintenance company.I DNR will use calibration and post-calibration methods established by
the manufacturer of Hydrolab. Ail calibration and post-calibration records are available on the DNR
website, http://dnr.cbi.tamucc.edu/~alib. DNR will maintain an instrument maintenance agreement with a
qualified instrument maintenancelfirm for each Hydrolab. Each unit will be annually inspected and
refurbished. All components of lhe instrument will be covered under the warranty agreement and
replaced as needed,

ISSUE: STAP is very please~l with the development
of
coordinated
member
efforts
to date, and with the interest Of the soon to be deregulated electdc marketplace in
meeting STAP members' energy needs. STAP remains committed to a
demonstration of economic sa~ings to each member. If this cannot be proven, each
individual member has the fight to reject participation in the STAP contract.
Because time will be of the essence once final contract terms are negotiated, it is
necessary that all STAP members have mechanisms in place to permit prompt
consideration and approval. Any REP offer is expected to be open for only 24 hours
or less because electricity priCes tend to track prices for natural gas, which can be
very volatile. Therefore, STAP member cities will again need to take immediate
action to accept or reject a new contract. Mirroring similar action taken by City
Council in 2001 and 2002, the iattached resolution authorizes the City Manager or his
designee to ratify the 2004 cOntract between STAP and its approved REP.

On March 23, 2001, the City of Cc~pus Christi hosted a meeting of CPL area cities to discuss
aggregation. The consensus of thelmeeting was that the cities should proceed together to
aggregate electric load through a p~litical subdivision corporation. Subsequently, the Council has
taken the following progressive actions and the STAP Board has requested proposals from
prospective electric service providttrs.

ELIGIBLE DESIGNEE~ TO INCLUDE THE CHAIRMAN OF STAP
WHEREAS, the City of Corpu~Christi, Texas (City) is a member of South Texas
Aggregation Project Inc. (STAp), a nonprofit political subdivision corporation
dedicated to securing electric power for its members in the competitive retail
market; and
WHEREAS, STAP negotiated favorable contract terms and a reasonable
commodity price for delivered lelectricity in 2002 and 2003 for its members; and
WHEREAS, STAP anticipates preserving current contract terms and achieving
commodity prices in a contract for a 12 to 24 month period effective January 1,
2004 that continue to produce savings over the regulated price to beat (PTB);
and
WHEREAS, STAP believes that the pricing opportunity window for favorable
2004-2005 deliveries will be short-lived (in the October to mid-November time
period) and that STAP members must be able to commit contractually to prices
within a 24-hour period in order to lock-in favorable prices; and
WHEREAS, experiences in contracting for 2002-2003 demonstrated that Retail
Electric Providers demand immediate response to an offer and may penalize
delay with higher prices; and
WHEREAS, the deregulated electric market is complex, likely to penalize those
unaware of its transmission constraints and likely to reward those who can
improve the size and shape of a particular load to be served and the City benefits
from jointly shared experience and collective purchasing power through STAP;
and
WHEREAS, it is necessary for the City to contract for a supply of electricity for
2004 or at least partially revert to PTB rates; and
WHEREAS, STAP's current delivered energy prices provide savings when
measured against PTB, and PTB rates likely will continue to remain higher than
prices STAP can achieve on behalf of the City.

Exhibit A: Background
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Aviation Department was approached by the newly formed Transportation Security Adm n straton
(TSA) in September, 2002 with a request to provide approximately 6,000 square feet of office space for
them. The Airport agreed to lease s~pace in the former Tower building until space could be built for
them in the new terminal facility.
TSA and Airport staff began workin~l on plans for office space in the new terminal. Concurrently,
Airport staff was working with Generall Services Commision (GSA) to formulate a lease for this space.
After several meetings and negotiatio~s, staff was able to formulate a lease acceptable to GSA, TSA,
and Airport.
The new space is located on the first and second levels of the Airport terminal and is 6,993 square feet
of office space including training and conference rooms. It will be included in the last phase of the
terminal project for buildout.
Included in the rental rate is a base rental rate of $44.11 plus $22.41 per square foot for the cost of
buitding the shell and tenant impro'cements. We will receive $705,209 for the shell buildout and
improvements over the first 54 months of the lease which will cover the cost of the improvements to the
Terminal building for TSA. Funds from the 2000 Bonds for the Terminal Project will be used to pay for
the improvements for this additional terminal space.
The build-out is estimated to be complete by the end of the year. Once TSA occupies the new space,
the tower building will be scheduled for demolition early next year.

video, and developed the curriculum guide.

ISSUE: As part of the celebration of the Corpus Christi sesquicentennial, the
Museum researched, fabricated and installed a permanent local history exhibit, the
Landmark Commission produced a local history video, and the Museum developed a
curriculum guide to help teachers use these assets in the classroom. This is an
opportunity to recognize the staff, volunteers, and community resource people who
participated in the development of these projects and to bring public attention to its
availability.
BACKGROUND: The Way It Was, produced by Frank Van Heughten of Quadrant
Productions, is a sesquicentennial project of the Corpus Christi Landmark Commission.
The Landmark Commission is staffed by Faryce Goode-Macon of the Planning Division
of the Development Services Department. It is a 19 minute video that tells the history
of the City. It was funded by a grant from the Texas Historical Commission with
additional funding by the Friends of the Museum. The script was written by Paul Pope
with input and direction by Museum staff in order to make it compatible with the new
Corpus Christi History exhibit. A nine minute version of the video was designed to play
as a component of that exhibit featuring the impact of Mayor Roy Miller and the pivotal
role that the 1919 hurricane played in positioning Corpus Christi for economic growth in
the 20th century.
Corpus Christi: The Way It Was is a Curriculum Guide to the exhibit that was developed
by a team of three teachers under the guidance of Museum Educator Sandra
Linderman. The Guide targets Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) at the
third grade level at which the social studies curriculum begins the study of communities.
Previous to the completion of the exhibit, video, and curriculum guide, it was difficult for
local teachers to insert local history into the social studies curriculum at any grade level.
The Guide, done by teachers Barbara Shurte from Flour Bluff lSD, Minerva Trevino
from Tuloso-Midway, and Diana McCurry from Corpus Christi lSD, was funded by the
Coastal Bend Community Foundation.
The Corpus Christi History exhiDit has been significantly enhanced since opening in
September 2002. For that project the Museum received considerable cooperation and
input from the staff and resources of the Corpus Christi Library, the Archives at the Bell
Library of Texas A & M Universi'~y - Corpus Christi, Corpus Christi Caller-Times and a
number of people with local hist(1)ry expertise. It was funded by grants from the Coastal
Bend Community Foundation arld the Prichard Family Foundation with additional
funding from the Friends of the I~luseum.

Six-Month Report
2003
Back~round
In 1999 during the Annual Cit.~ Council Retreat, the City Council listed priorities for the
two-year period. One of tl}e. priorities was to provide improved services to the
development community. City Council directed the City, Manager to rese~ch options for
delivery of those improved sc~rvices. As a result, a One-Stop Center concept was
identified to facilitate the deli3ery of those services. The Center would provide citizens
one location to interact with !a department that deals with all development sensitive
issues.
The City Manager appointed ~ team that toured several cities in Texas that had initiated
the "One-Stop Center" concept~ On November 14, 2001, after several months ofreseareh
and evaluation, the Department of Development Services was created. Research proved
the need for developers and contractors to be able to access development related services
without traveling to several different departments. The department consists of the
Special Services Division of l~ngineering Services, the Building Inspections Division of
Housing and Community Devalopment, and the Planning Department. All three sections
were combined in an effort to provide the most efficient development information to the
development community.
Development Center
On March 3, 2003 the Department of Development Services relocated from three
locations within City Hall to the first floor of the Frost Bank Building. The relocation
included re-engineering of pro{esses that would prove to be beneficial and efficient to the
customer. Embracing the T.E.A.M. concept, (Together Everyone Achieves More), all
staff members are encouraged to coordinate the resources of all sections of Development
Services and provide consistent direction to customers.

Permits
The Permit Section is using th~ Naviline System which allows the section to process tap
work orders quicker and more efficiently because one computer system links together all
of the affected departments (Development Services, Water, Wastewater, Gas, Storm
Water, etc.). In addition, assistance to other departments has been improved through

Geographic Information System (GIS)
One centralized web page ha~ been created and contains links to provide immediate
access t o information a ssociat~d with e ach section o f t he Department o f Development
Services. Customers can easil)~ access relevant planning and inspection information from
one location such as applicaqions for permits, Zoning and Platting Ordinances, and
Planning Commission agenda~. The website also contains various maps: General,
Economic Development, Censqs, and Political Districts; i.e. voting districts.
Geographic Information Systerg (GIS) is widely utilized by the development community.
In order to provide informatio, to the customer without leaving their location, access to
the basemap and many other "lhyers" of information has been improved by providing the
information over the Intemet. An outreach training program continues, whereby staff
provide GIS Web Site training to the development community at a location of their
choice. In addition, the del~artment is making the transition to a mainstream GIS
software package, ArcGIS. Tl~is software package is used by thousands of governmental
entities, as well as the private sector. We will have the ability to easily provide and
acquire data from the internet and the development community.
During several discussions with the development community, the City obtained
consensus that sharing data between the City and the private sector is a worthwhile
Developmem Services
Six~Month Reporl

endeavor. The City and the development community agreed on the format and structure
of the files that will be shared. An ordinance was drafted that will be presented to the
City Council which includes all of the details of electronic document submittal.
In the past, we provided paper copies of permits to the Nueces County Tax Appraisal
District. That practice has recently been replaced with generation of digital permit
reports. On a weekly basis, the Nueces County Appraisal District receives digital permit
reports for their use. The Co~lstal Bend Daily Legal and Business newspaper receives
digital permit reports on a daily basis. This improvement has allowed us to reduce the
amount of paper we generate and will also give us the ability to post specific information
to the internet.
The Inspection section of the Department recently implemented a new permits software
program. Over the past six months, staff has continually progressed in their
understanding and use of the software program. The result of this improvement is that
permit applications are processed smoother with fewer delays and we are also taking
advantage of the many reports that are available.
Plan Review
Re-engineering processes in the Plan Review sections require that a Plan Review
employee is available at all times to attend to walk-in customers. Staff is available to
assist design professionals, conlractors, builders and homeowners with code compliance
information prior to submission of building permit. Walk-in customer waiting time has
been decreased due to the availability of a plan review staff member at all times. To
ensure availability, Plan Review staff has implemented block scheduling for walk-ins and
phone calls. The average waiting time has been decreased to approximately 15 minutes.
Since the relocation to the Frost Bank Building, plan review time for residential plans has
been reduced from 4-7 days to 2-4 days. With a decreased waiting time, customers are
encouraged to drop off submittals to a Plan Reviewer. At that time, the Plan Reviewer is
able to check for accurate and complete information. Incomplete submittals are returned
to the customer with comments.
Plan review time for Commercial plans has been reduced from 6-8 weeks to a 4-5 week
period. Plan Review staff created a process by which weekly meetings are held to
conduct preliminary review of submittals. All disciplines are represented and submittals
are checked for completeness. Within one week of plan submission, customers are
provided comments and anticipated permitting date.
Plan Review is developing an Outreach Program to assist design professionals, builders,
contractors, and City staff in the permitting process and criteria for plan submittals.
These sessions will be held during "brown bag sessions", association luncheons and
meetings on a quarterly basis.

Inspections
On September 9, 2003, the I n~emational Codes were adopted by City Council. These
codes are the 2003 International Codes, which include Chapter I - The Administration
Chapter, Building Code, Residential Code, Mechanical Code, Plumbing Code, Fuel Gas
Code, Energy Conservation C6de, Fire Code, and the Flood Hazard Prevention Code.
The 2002 National Electrical C~de was also adopted. The effective date of the codes is
October 9, 2003, and require~ all contractors to comply with the codes as adopted.
Adoption of the International ~odes assures the citizens of Corpus Christi of uniform
enforcement which results in c~nsistency for the development community.

Special Services i
As in the Plan Review sectioni re-engineering efforts include having a staff member of
Special Services available at all times to answer customer questions and issue permits.
The Special Services Section ~f Development Services is responsible for street closures,
alleys, easements, use privilege agreements, infrastructure reimbursement requests,
revocable easements, and driveway permits. Cross-training has occurred to enable staff
members to complete tasks in ihe absence of other staff members. Special Services has
also implemented an email system to expedite communication with the public. Private
utility companies are informed ¥ia email which decreases waiting time.
After review of the infrastmc.ture construction process and ways to make the process
more efficient for the custon~er, Development Services Staff met with Utility Staff
(Water, Wastewater, Storm Water, Engineering, and Gas) to discuss re-engineering of the
Construction Plan process. A~ a result, the process to inspect, approve, and accept plats
for recordation was streamliged. The process now provides that the Construction
Inspection Division of Engineering Services would coordinate all approvals from every
utility depashnent involved and forward one final approval of 75% and 100% acceptance.
The developer or the contractor coordinates acceptance and recordation requirements
with only one person within ~e city organization. Customers receive their information
within 2 - 3 days after Special Services receives application for recordation.
As part of the Plan Review for Inspection Operations, Special Services reviews the civil
portion of the building plan submittal. The review process includes drainage, sanitary,
water, gas, and driveway requirements. Verification of utility easements and yard
requirements are also part of the review process. Special Services review ensures
compliance of state and local ordinances.

On August 19, 2003, City Council amended the ordinance and procedures for
construction of infrastructure when funded through the Trunk Main Trust Funds. The
ordinance and procedures were effective September 19, 2003 and was amended to
include fome mains and lift stations along with sanitary sewer trunk mains.
Reimbursement is contingent t~pon compliance with the Master Wastewater Plan. The
amendment has permitted the developer to develop land that was previously
undevelopable due to inadequale utility services. The fund will reimburse the developer
for the construction of force l~ains, lift stations, trunk mains, and construction of grid
water mains. The amendment[also includes reimbursement for storm sewer collection
systems subject to adoption by pity Council of the new Storm Water Master Plan.
Ordinance Administration
The Ordinance Administratior~ section has improved Zoning and Platting acceptance
procedures which have improved communications with engineers, surveyors, developers,
and other applicants in the sub~nission of platting and rezoning applications. Applicants
complying with submittal r eqtlirements are confident t hat t heir application w ill n et b e
delayed. These procedures have also resulted in improved information being provided in
a timely manner. Another improvement achieved is the posting of the Zoning and
Platting Ordinances on the department website. A customer can print one page or the
entire code.
To better utilize Staff and developer schedules, a specific meeting date has been
established (Thursday afternoons) for pre-submission conferences. The establishment of
this meeting date ensures that other City department representatives will be available to
meet with applicants and representatives. The scheduling of pre-submission conferences
also ensure that information provided by the applicant reaches the different department
representatives in timely manner in order to provide vital information to the applicant.
During functional review of each section of Development Services, it was decided that
Sign Permits would be issued by the Ordinance Administrative group who are well
versed in the Zoning Ordinance regarding signs. By requiring the Ordinance
Administration Group to issue sign permits, the customer would obtain their permit at
one location. Previous practice required the customer to begin the process at City Hall to
obtain the permit and travel to pay for the permit at Development Services.
An agreement was reached with Nueces County regarding the City's Extra Territorial
Jurisdiction (ETJ) by allowing the City to process plats within all areas located within the
City's ETJ. This agreement facilitates the approval of a plat which previously required
approval from two separate entities.
Comprehensive Planning
The Corpus Christi Urban Transportation Plan (CCUTP) was adopted by City Council on
March 25, 2003. The CCUTP provides the citizen and development community a single
transportation planning document covering the entire City and its Extraterritorial

FUTURE COUNCIL ACTION:
· Adopting the final assessment roll (tentative date May 2005)
PROCEDURES: Resolution No. 022767 specifies the procedures that apply to the assessment process. (In
the past, ordinances were necessary to initiate the assessment process, which may now be taken via
resolutions). Testimony by the Director of Engineering Services and the city-retained real estate appraiser
is made in writing and filed before the public hearing.
GENERAL: The proposed project is part of the Bond Issue 2000 Projects that was voter-approved on
November 7, 2000. The project provides for reconstructing neighborhood streets to include curb, gutter,
sidewalks, driveways and underground storm drainage. The improvements include water and wastewater line
adjustments or replacements. The improvements are petitioned by adjacent property owners who are
assessed a portion of the cost. The property owners requested the bridge on Laguna Shores Road be
removed and not replaced. Their request was presented to the Traffic Advisory Committee (TAC) at their May
2002 meeting and a second public meeting was held with residents on December 2, 2002. A Traffic Analysis
Study was presented to the TAC on January 27, 2003, for review and concurrence. Due to results of the
study, the bridge will remain and traffic calming devices will be installed in the roadway. An amendment has
been issued to the consultant contract that includes changes to the bridge and the calmin devices.

CONTRACT BIDS: The preliminary assessment roll is based on bid proposals received for the project on
Wednesday, July 23, 2003. The differenc~ between the lowest two bids was $2,449.45, less than 1% of the project's
value. Upon review of the submitted pr..o_lI~sals, the City's Engineering Consultant, Bess & Welsh Engineering and
City staff have determined that it is not in,the best interest of the project or the City to award to the Iow bidder.
Factor's that contributed to this decision i~dude: · Poor Contractor performance re~/iews for the lower bidder on other City Projects,
· The complexity of the project du~ to replacement of the Laguna Shores Bridge and Corps of Engineering
requirements,
· The need to complete the project in an expeditious manner; and
· The successful expenence of the second lowest b~dder w th C ty projects of a s m lar nature.
Therefore, City staff is recommending thar( a construction contract for this project be awarded fo the second lowest
bidder, Berry Contracting, LP d.b.a. Bay Ltd.

Texas Transportation Code Chapler 313.
The front-foot rule was applied unless that would have resulted in injustice or
inequality. In those cases, however, the city council has applied special rates or made
other equitable adjustments to the assessments, all considering the:
special benefit the property and the owner receive in enhanced value to
the property;
B. equities of the owners; and
C~
adjustment of the apportionment to produce a substantial equality of
benefits received and burdens imposed.
SECTION 3. The city council determines that the assessment on each property
listed in Exhibit B is just and equitable and does not exceed the special benefit in
enhanced value which that property and its owner will receive by construction of the
proposed improvements.
SECTION 4. The assessments listed in Exhibit B are adopted and fixed as a lien
on the property and a personal lia~3ility and charge against the property owner. This

will be made "online" via a secured website. Appropriate amounts will be deducted from
our overall award of $2,026,402.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTIONS: Council approval is required to authorize the
City Manager to execute a subrecipient agreement and accept the grant.
