Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 9 regarding a street resurfacing project on Up River
Road. Council Member Kelly asked for clarification on which sections of Up River Road were
going to be repaired. City Engineer Angel Escobar replied that this Bond 2000 project entailed a
street overlay on Up River Road from 1-37 to Leopard Street. He said before installing the overlay,
the city had replaced the water lines from Leopard Street to Nueces Bay Boulevard with a new 24-
inch PVC water main. He said a hot mix was being used to complete the patch work and repair
work on Up River Road from 1-37 to Leopard, resulting in a complete overlay for the entire road
section. From Leopard to Nueces Bay, Mr. Escobar reported that the project only included the repair
of the pavement. He said the city would apply a seal coat to the entire road to complete the repairs
from I-37 to Leopard Street. Mr. Kelly asked if these repairs would create a smooth road for drivers
on the entire street. City Engineer Escobar answered affirmatively.
9. MOTION NO. 2004-157
Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute Change Order No. 1 to the
contract with Garver Construction, Ltd., of Houston, Texas in the amount of $148,830.32

Colmenero, Garrett, Kelly, Kinnison, Noyola and Scott, voting "Aye"; Cooper was absent.
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 13 regarding the five-year inspection and monitoring
program for the Wesley Seale Dam. Mr. Ron Waters, the city's consultant, reported on the results
of the 2003 inspection of the dam. He said the dam was performing well, even under the full load
being placed on it due to the full lake levels the city has experienced over the past two years.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
April 20, 2004 - Page 6
Dr. Waters recommended a number of maintenance measures to the piezometers and
extensometers installed during the rehabilitation and construction project. He said the
instrumentation was monitored by remote, and the city had experienced a number of problems with
the read-outs. Thus, he proposed repairing some of the instrumentation to ensure accurate readings
for future inspections.
In addition, Dr. Waters recommended a field investigation to determine if north embankment
piezometer F-I at station 8+12, installed when the dam was initially constructed, needed to be
replaced. He said the readings over the years were becoming lower than the lake levels, an unusual
occurrence. He stated that there was a correlation between the onset of the unusual readings and the
installation of a new toe drain collecting system downstream of the embankment. He said staff
wanted to investigate the effectiveness of the toe drain as well.
Dr. Waters also recommended updating the PMF (probable maximum flood) breach analysis
flood inundation study, and Emergency Action Plan for the Wesley Seale Dam.
Council Member Colmenero asked what the expected lifespan was for the various
instrumentation. Dr. Waters replied that the lifespan for the electronic equipment in the field was
approximately 10 years. He said the piezometers, which are read manually, could be expected to
last 50 years. There were no comments from the audience. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council
for their votes as follows:
13. MOTION NO. 2004-160
Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute Amendment No. 2 to a
contract with Freese and Nichols, Inc. in the amount of $259,750 for engineering services
for the third year of a Five-Year Inspection and Monitoring Program at Wesley Seale Dam.
The foregoing motion was passed and approved with the following vote: Neal, Chesney,
Colmenero, Cooper, Garrett, Kelly, Kinnison, Noyola and Scott, voting "Aye".
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 14 regarding a parking lease agreement with the Port
of Corpus Christi for the baseball stadium. City Manager Noe stated that the city intended to assign
its interest in the parking lease to Round Rock Baseball, Inc., who will manage the parking lot and
receive the revenues on the 90 city days specified in the Contract to Purchase and Lease Port
Property and Baseball Stadium lease. He said the city was required to make the leased parking lot
available to Round Rock Baseball, Inc. before the bonds can be sold for the actual construction of
the baseball stadium. There were no comments from the audience. City Secretary Chapa polled the
Council for their votes as follows:
14.a. MOTION NO.
Motion authorizing the City Manager to execute a parking lease with the Port of Corpus
Christi Authority for the Baseball Stadium.
The foregoing motion was passed and approved with the following vote: Neal, Chesney,

Mayor Neal deviated from the agenda and opened discussion on Item 16 regarding the
Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan. City Manager Noe stated that the plan had been
approved on its first reading in December 2003, but the Council had requested that staff provide
additional opportunities for public input, including representatives from Asset Development. He
asked Ms. Barbara Bailey, Director of Development Services, to brief the Council on a number of
proposed amendments to the plan.
Ms. Bailey briefly reviewed the planning process used for the plan. She stated that staffhad
held a number of meetings with the Island Planning Ad Hoc committee, island residents, and with
the major landowner in the area, Asset Development Corporation, per the Council's directive at the
first reading on December 9, 2003. She said staffhad incorporated a number of suggestions into the
plan when appropriate, resulting in a better plan.
Ms. Bailey briefly discussed the proposed changes for land use as follows: emphasize high-
.quality, tourist oriented development; "coastal theme" for new development on the major roadways;
~mprove public aesthetics with landscaping, street lighting; better biking and landscaping;
underground utilities; prohibit industrial uses; and restrict RV parks. She said the restrictions on
industrial uses and RV parks would have to be discussed with the state.
Ms. Bailey stated that the land use map reflected the higher standards in two new main
categories: mixed-use residential and mixed-use tourist. She said there were also locations of boat
ramps and marinas reflecting the island. She also mentioned a proposed expanded canal system in
Padre Isles that would create a water exchange between Lake Padre and Padre Isles, with a bridge
over SPID.
Ms. Bailey said an Economic Development section was added in response to resident input.
She said the plan included a number of capital improvements, including the aforementioned bridge
over the proposed canal, bath houses, beach parking and public boat ramps. She said funding
sources for these projects have not been identified at this time, but possible sources include Public
Improvement Districts, grants, and bond issues.
Ms. Bailey reviewed the proposed plan implementation process, noting that it was modeled
after the South Central Development Plan. She stated that the plan included the creation of an Island
Strategic Action Committee as a mechanism to keep island residents involved in the process at their
request.
In conclusion, Ms. Bailey said that staffhad met the requirements of the Council to obtain
public input and support for this plan. She said staffwas recommending Council approval after the
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
April 20, 2004 - Page 8
public hearing.
Council Member Chesney complimented City Manager Noe and staff for their efforts to
obtain public input and support for the plan. He asked if there were any citizen recommendations
that were not included in the plan. Ms. Bailey replied that there were a number of suggestions for
day-to-day operations, such as more beach cleaning and more staff, which were inappropriate for
inclusion in the long-range plan. City Manager Noe added that staffmet with the group providing
the feedback to inform them how they their concerns were addressed in the plan, and which concerns
were not addressed in the plan and why.
Mr. Kinnison asked if there were an existing properties on the island that were zoned for
industrial use. Mr. Michael Gunning, Assistant Director of Development Services, answered
negatively. Mr. Kinnison also asked for clarification on the statement under the Economic
Development section of the plan which stated that capital improvements were a priority for the Tax
Increment Financing (TIF) District. Ms. Bailey replied that she believed the statement intended to
say that if capital improvements are made in the TIF, they would create more tax revenue for the
district, achieving a "better bang for the buck". Mr. Kinnison stated that the first and foremost
priority for the TIF should be to fund existing projects so it could be paid off as quickly as possible.
City Manager Noe added that there were legal commitments with those funds that would preempt
any other commitments for the funds.
Ms. Cooper asked how the proposed canal with bridge over SPID would be funded. Ms.
Bailey replied that the Asset Development Corporation was required to provide the canal as part of
the Packery Channel project. She said if the bridge was added as an extra amenity, then the funding
was unclear. She noted, however, that the bridge construction was included in the Bond 2004 plan
for funding, at a total cost of $1.4 million.
Mayor Neal asked for public comment. Mr. Richard Smith, 13849 Doubloon, spoke in
appreciation of city staffs efforts to obtain public input. He endorsed the proposed plan, especially
noting the inclusion of language that enabled the future implementation of an overlay zone. Mr.
Jimmy B. Johnston, Padre Island resident, spoke regarding the importance of the proposed canal to
maintain a water exchange for proper sanitation, and his concerns about a number of undeveloped
lots without utilities on SPID. Mr. Bill Fennell, Padre Island real estate developer, thanked staff for
their efforts in obtaining public input, and he also spoke in support of the proposed plan.
Council Member Scott thanked Mayor Neal for agreeing to a delay of the second reading of
the plan in order to obtain more public input. He also thanked the islanders, especially those serving
on the ad hoc committee, for their efforts, saying that the plan was much better now than it was five
months ago. Finally, he thanked staff for their efforts, especially Ms. Bailey. He also spoke in
support of the proposed canal with a bridge, and he said he was in favor of making it a much higher
priority in the Bond 2004 package. Regarding the undeveloped lots previously mentioned by Mr.
Johnston, he asked Mr. Noe if a joint venture between the city and the property owners might be
appropriate where the city would contribute to the capital costs, similar to what the city did in Rodd
Field Village. City Manager Noe noted that there were a number of fundamental differences
between the Rodd Field Village project and the Padre Island lots that merited a close review. He
said staff could schedule this item for discussion at a later date.

Mayor Neal announced the executive session, which was listed on the agenda as follows:
Executive session under Texas Government Code Section 551.087 for deliberations relating
to an offer of financial or other incentive to a business prospect to locate, stay, or expand in
or near the City of Corpus Christi, with possible discussion and action related thereto in open
session.
The Council went into executive session.
The Council returned from executive session, and Mayor Neal called for petitions from the
audience. Mr. Jack Gordy, 4118 Bray, spoke regarding his request that the Council place a
discussion on Proposition 13 on the agenda, and a problem involving his grandson and the Police
Department.
Mayor Neal called for a brief recess.
The Council returned from recess, and Mayor Neal referred to the presentation on the day's
agenda regarding the Preliminary Bond 2004 Program. City Manager Noe stated that staff had
provided alternative packages for the Council's review and discussion, starting at $70 million (no
property tax increase).
City Engineer Escobar referred to a summary sheet listing the five Bond 2004 staff-
developed package proposals and the proposed projects for streets, public health and safety, public
facilities, Park and Recreation, and other miscellaneous projects (see Attachment A, included as
part of these minutes). Regarding the proposed street projects, Mr. Escobar explained that staff
determined which projects to recommend through several methods, including traffic volume
surveys, road condition, accident and fatality rates, and MPO time travel delay surveys. He noted
that a number of street projects were designated as "city wide" projects because they addressed
problems throughout the area, e.g. ADA improvements and street lighting projects.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
April 20, 2004 - Page 11
Mr. Escobar reviewed each of the 22 proposed street projects (see Attachment A). He noted
that staffs package proposals provided estimates with and without utilities. He said the first fourteen
projects were included in all the proposed packages, but Project Nos. 15 through 22 were only
included in select bond packages. He highlighted Project No. 10, the Neighborhood Street
Reconstruction project, which would provide for the improvements to curb and gutter, sidewalks,
driveways, and underground utilities. He said staff used a Paving Condition Index to determine
which neighborhood streets were in the poorest condition. He said a neighborhood street with a
score of 3 to 55 on the index was considered to be in need of work. Council Member Chesney and
Council Member Noyola asked Mr. Escobar to provide a detailed list of the streets with their scores
for the Council's review. Mr. Escobar noted that stafftfied to choose areas where most of the streets
in a particular neighborhood needed attention, because it was more cost-effective to bid the work
this way.
Mr. Escobar also reviewed the three proposed Public Health & Safety projects (Project Nos.
23-25). He highlighted Project No. 26, a Deferred Building Maintenance fund, to provide for
needed maintenance to City-owned buildings which do not have a separate funding source for
overdue repairs to roofs, HVAC, and other areas. He said staffwould like to include a maintenance
fund in all bond issues if they were to continue. He also reviewed the four proposed Public Facilities
projects (Project Nos. 26-29), the three proposed Park and Recreation projects (Projects 30-33), and
a number of other miscellaneous projects (Project Nos. 34-40).
Mr. Garrett asked about Project No. 8, a street improvement project for Waldron Road from
Purdue to Glen Oak and Mediterranean. He thought there had been recent repairs made to this road.
Mr. Escobar replied that the portion from S.P.I.D. to Purdue had been worked on recently. He said,
however, that the portion from Purdue to Glen Oak and Mediterranean, in front of the new library
and schools, had deteriorated and was in need of repair.
Mayor Neal noted that this Bond 2004 discussion would be continued in detail during the
Council Retreat in May. He asked Assistant City Manager Mark McDaniel what the utility rate
costs would be for Package B and Package D. Mr. McDaniel answered that the utility rate cost for
Package B was an additional two percent over the five percent calculated in the utility rate model
for next year, totaling approximately $20,001,200. He said staff recommended layering the two
percent increase over a two-year period within the four-year bond program. For Package D, Mr.
McDaniel said the utility rate cost would be an additional three percent, layered over three years,
at a total cost of $30,130,000. Mayor Neal pointed out that Package D also called for a three cent
increase in the ad valorem tax rate.
Mayor Neal stated that the priority list for these projects was not final. He said if the Council
were to approach the Bond 2004 discussion like the CDBG process, they could raise the priority of
some projects over others if a case could be made. He also said the Council could discuss their
projects not on the list ifa council member felt they were important to their district. In addition,
Mayor Neal said the Council could choose a number between $70 to $100 million, keeping in mind
that each $10 million increment was equivalent to 1 cent on the ad valorem tax rate. He asked the
Council to begin setting their priorities now in preparation for the more thorough Bond 2004
discussion during the council retreat. He thanked staff for their excellent work in providing the
Council with the alternative scenarios they had requested.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
April 20, 2004 - Page 12
Council Member Kelly stated that a number of streets in his district, namely Buddy
Lawrence and Antelope, were not included in the proposed list of projects. He asked if this was
because staffhad identified alternate funding sources. Mr. Escobar answered negatively, saying the
streets still needed improvements. Regarding Project No. 13, Traffic Congestion Management, Mr.
Kelly asked how staff was going to prioritize the streets to be included in this project. Mr. Escobar
replied that staffhad compiled a list of candidate streets for the project, determined on the basis of
a traffic count and time travel delay analysis. He said many of the candidate streets had progressive
left-mm delays that needed to be addressed. Mr. Kelly asked if streets that were eligible for TxDOT
funds, such as F.M. 624, could be included. Mr. Escobar answered affirmatively, saying that the city
would need TxDOT's permission to complete the project assuming 100 percent of the cost. Mr.
Kelly also asked for the status of funding for C.R. 52. Mr. Escobar replied that the county did not
include C.R. 52 in their present budget or in their $93 million bond issue. Mr. Kelly asked what
portion of the proposed MPO-funded portion of the road was within city limits. Mr. Escobar replied
that none of the MPO-funded portion was within city limits.
Council Member Noyola stated that the fire fighters had hoped to see an allocation for a new
pumper truck on the proposed Bond 2004 project list. Regarding Project No. 24, ADA Co-Ed Fire
Stations, he asked how many stations needed ADA improvements. Mr. Escobar replied that eight
out of sixteen fire stations needed ADA improvements.
Mr. Noyola said he was disappointed that none of the proposed street projects in his district
were included in Package A, which did not require a tax increase. He said staff seemed to favor
street projects on the south side of town, Districts 4 and 5, over all other districts when creating the
packages. He had hoped to see more a more equal distribution of projects among the districts. He
said he didn't think he could gain support from his district for tax and/or utility rate increases unless
his district benefitted in some way.
Mr. Scott asked how Proposition 13 could impact staffs bond package proposal cost
estimates. Mr. McDaniel replied that Proposition 13 would have less of an impact in the early years
than in later years. Without issuing debt for any projects, Mr. McDaniel said Proposition 13 would
have an impact of one-quarter of a percent on the tax rate in Year 1, increasing to two and three
quarter cents in Year 10. City Manager Noe added that the impact of Proposition 13 may not be felt
in this bond issue; rather, it could affect bond issues four years from now and in the future. Mr.
Scott asked about the impact of the Governor's proposed tax cap. Mr. McDaniel answered that if
the tax cap had been applied over the last ten years, then the impact would be approximately $22
million in the city's tax levy. City Manager Noe said staff would work on projections of the impact
of Proposition 13 and the Governor's cap for the Council's review at the retreat.
Mr. Scott asked if it would be possible to complete Project No. 4, Doddridge Street from
Ocean Drive to Staples, in two phases, then including only the first phase in the bond package. Mr.
Escobar said he would look into it. Mr. Scott suggested that breaking up other projects may be a
way to stretch the bond dollars out.
Mr. Scott asked about the cost estimates for the Bayfront Plan, Project Nos. 37 and 38. Mr.
Escobar said they were preliminary cost estimates only, and the final estimate fi.om the consultants
would not be ready until June.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
April 20, 2004 - Page 13
Finally, Mr. Scott said he would like to see Project No. 20, the Park Road 22 bridge, included
in Package A or B. He said it would provide many benefits to the area, and it would pay for itself
by accelerating the appreciation of property values in the area.
Council Member Kinnison asked when the option to acquire the land for Project No. 23, the
Police/Fire Training Facility would expire. City Manager Noe replied that it would expire in two
years. Mr. Kinnison asked if the option could be extended. City Manager Noe replied affirmatively,
although probably only for a year or two at most. Mr. Kinnison also asked how Project No. 39, the
Corps of Engineers existing building and land acquisition, was intended to be used. City Manager
Noe replied that it was uncertain at this time, but the Port had expressed an interest in the property.
He said the consensus seemed to be that it should be used as public space, but the question was how
to use it.
Finally, Mr. Kinnison asked if it would be possible to give the voters a choice between two
packages, one basic package with no tax increases and one enhanced package with tax increases.
City Manager Noe replied that bond counsel said it could be done, although it would be slightly
complicated.
Mayor Neal recessed the regular Council meeting, and a motion was made, seconded and
passed to open the public hearing on the proposed FY 2004 Consolidated Annual Action Plan for
the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) and
Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG) programs.
Assistant City Manager Margie Rose provided a brief presentation on how the proposed plan
and its recommendations were derived up to this point. As part of the citizen participation process,
Ms. Rose said that Neighborhood Services department staff made two citywide presentations to
advise the public of the available funding. She said neighborhood meetings were held at the Boys
and Girls Club and Oveal Williams Senior Center, and upon request by other agencies. She said
Neighborhood Services then scheduled two public hearings, one with the Planning Commission and
one with the City Council.
Ms. Rose briefly described each of the three programs in the Consolidated Annual Action
Plan - the CDBG, HOME and ESG programs. Beginning with the CDBG program, Ms. Rose
reported that since 1975, the city has received $141 million from this program, including $11.8
million in program income. She said the CDBG program provided funds for projects that improved
and enhanced the quality of life for citizens with low and moderate income, and for individuals
residing in designated low income areas in the city.
Mr. Rose reported that since 1992, the city has received $20 million in HOME program
funds to help increase and improve affordable housing opportunities. She said the HOME program
provides funds for rentals; home ownership subsidy programs; rehabilitation; and reconstruction.
Finally, Ms. Rose stated that since 1987, the city has received more than $1.92 million in
ESG funds. She said the ESG program provided funds for homeless providers; rehabilitation;
counseling; training; essential services; and homeless prevention activities.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
April 20, 2004 - Page 14
Ms. Rose provided the funding levels for the FY 2004-05 Annual Action Plan. She said the
total action plan allocation was $6,107,456, comprised of the following amounts: $4,105,000 for
CDBG program; $1,848,127 for the HOME program; and $154,329 for the ESG program. She said
there was additional funding available from program income of $800,000 from loans provided
during previous CDBG years. In addition, she said $547,567 ofCDBG reprogrammed funds was
also available. Thus, Ms. Rose said the total funds available for the FY 04 CDBG program was
$5,452,567.
Ms. Rose pointed out that there were several reductions in the allocations compared to FY
03. In the CDBG program, there was a decrease of$114,000 or 2.7 percent. The HOME program
saw a decrease of $14,435, or 0.8 percent. Finally, the ESG program allocation was decreased by
$15,671, or 9 percent. Ms. Rose briefly reviewed each of staffs recommendations for the FY 2004
Annual Action Plan.
Mayor Neal explained to the audience that he would ask for public comment on each line
item to allow agencies that were not funded or funded below their requested amounts an opportunity
to respond. He said representatives from agencies that did receive funding could speak if they
wished, but it was not necessary. He said the Council was using the projects and funding amounts
recommended by staff as a baseline for their discussion.
Mayor Neal read the list of projects in the recommended FY 2004 CDBG program, reading
the amounts recommended by the Planning Commission and the amounts recommended by staff.
He asked for public comment. Ms. Beverly Winters asked the Council to consider funding Project
No. 49, the South Texas Informer Education Project. Mr. Robert McCarty, 356 Merrill Drive, asked
the Council to consider funding Project No. 46, the Metropolitan Community Church of Corpus
Christi. Ms. Sita Stone, 338 Sunset, spoke regarding Project No. 50, Texas RioGrande Legal Aid,
and asked the Council to consider funding this project. A discussion ensued over whether the city
needed this service.
Mayor Neal reviewed the list of projects recommended for funding through the FY 2004
ESG Program, reading the amount recommended by staff and the amount recommended by the
Planning Commission. There were no comments from the Council or the public.
Mayor Neal reviewed the list of projects recommended for funding through the FY 2004
HOME program. There were no comments from the Council or the public.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The City of Corpus Chdsti is applying for Year 4 funding from the Texas Automobile Theft Prevention
Authority (ATPA) to continue the motor vehicle theft unit in the Police Department. The ATPA was
established in 1991 due to dsing auto thefts and is funded through an annual $1 fee on every insured
vehicle in Texas charged to insurance companies who provide vehicle insurance coverage in Texas.
The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts collects the fee.
The unit focuses not only on detection and apprehension, but also on the salvage yards in the
City and County to reduce the sale of stolen vehicles and parts. There is an extensive public
awareness campaign that is a requirement of the grant; this has included a resurgence of the
Operation HEAT program as well as other crime prevention programs focusing on reducing auto
thefts.
The grant includes funding for a Lieutenant to supervise the Unit, two sworn CCPD officers, one
civilian CHine Analyst, one civilian Management Assistant, and one part-time Staff Assistant to
assist with data entry of auto theft crime information. The three civilians conduct data analysis,
crime analysis, manage the required public awareness campaign, and maintain grant paperwork.
Because these funds are neither Federal nor State but from an insurance fee, there is no set
time limit for the grant to end; other grantees have been continuously funded for 10 years. The
City must reapply each year because the ATPA requires a very close review of performance and
the grantee's ability to utilize the funds efficiently.

one-month extensions of this agreement. Funds have been budgeted in the FY 03/04
Police Department budget.

BACKGROUNDINFORMATION
SUBJECT: Club Estates Channel Improvements, Phase 1 (Project No. 2171)
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION:
1. February 10, 2004 - Approval of the Capital Improvement Program FY 2003-2004
(Ordinance No. 025647).
2. March 2, 2004 - Motion authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to execute
Amendment No. 2 with J. R. Thompson, P. E. for a total fee not to exceed $35,850
for Club Estates Channel Improvements, Phase 1 (Motion No. M2004-080).
PRIOR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION:
1. May 22, 2003 - Executed Small Agreement for Architect/Engineer Consultant
Services with J. R. Thompson, P. E. in the amount of $5,400 for the Club Estates
Channel Drainage Study.
2. February 13, 2004 - Executed Amendment No. 1 to the Small Agreement for
Architect/Engineer Consultant Services with J. R. Thompson, P. E. in the amount of
$19,400, for a total re-stated fee of $24,800.
PROJECT BACKGROUND: The proposed project provides for ditch improvements to the
Club Estates Channel structure. The ditch extends from the Flynn-Shea Channel to
Everhart Road. The present cross-section of the channel has step side slopes and is
confined in a narrow 90-foot right of way. These conditions make it difficult to properly
maintain the channel. The sides are prone to erosion and slope failures. Development
adjacent to the channel precludes right-of-way acquisition in this area. Phase 1 of the
project will install an underground system in the areas where right-of-way is restricted,
widen the channel, and flatten the side slopes where additional right-of-way can be
acquired. Phase 2 of the project will include improvements to the next 2,000 linear foot of
open channel east of Sanders Drive. The first 1,100 feet of the existing open channel will
have the ditch side slopes made flatter for a wider ditch. In the next 900 linear feet parallel
to Everhardt Road, a 10-foot X 6-foot box will be installed and covered. This project will be
completed in two phases. The first phase encompasses the improvement from the Flynn-
Shea Ditch to Sanders Drive.
Completion of the proposed project will increase safety for the portion of the channel which
borders the adjacent Dawson Elementary School and Snead Park. Corpus Christi
Independent School District (CCISD) has requested that work performance along the
CCISD school property be constructed during the summer months of June, July, and
August while school is not in session.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project includes the installation of approximately 1,200
linear feet of double 8-foot X 6-foot box culverts, box culverts headwall structures,
approximately 60 linear feet of 24-inch reinforced concrete pipe together with all
appurtenances. All work will be in accordance with the plans, specifications, and contract
documents.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
SUBJECT: Northwest Library Re-roof 2004 - Project 4314
PRIOR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION:
1. February 19, 2004 - Award of an architectural services contract to Morgan Spear
Associates, Inc. in the amount of $5,800 for the Northwest Library Re-roof 2004
project.
FUTURE COUNCIL ACTION: No additional action is contemplated to complete the
project.
PROJECT BACKGROUND: Northwest Library is a 7,300 square foot one-story structure.
The roof has reached the end of its economic life and leaks badly during rain events. A
number of attempts have been made to patch the roof over the years. The condition of the
roof has deteriorated to the point that any walking on the roof generates additional leaks.
Continued water penetration into the facility will cause damage to sheetrock, ceilings,
insulation, and building contents.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project consists of consists of demolition work to remove
the existing roofing to the deck and roof flashing, installation of new bitumen roofing and
flashing, and removal and reinstallation of mechanical ventilators or fans.
PROJECT BUDGET: The project budget is attached. See Exhibit "B". Appropriation of
the entire project budget is requested to address non-construction costs such as printing,
administrative charges, and a contingency for possible change orders.
BID INFORMATION: The project bid as a base bid with a deductive alternate. The base
bid required a twenty (20) year manufacturer's warranty. The deductive alternate
substituted a fifteen (15) year warranty in lieu of the twenty year warranty. The City
received proposals from six (6) bidders on April 14, 2004. (See Exhibit "C") The total bid
prices ranged from: $30,818 to $58,830. The deductive alternate prices ranged between
$-0- and ($1,270). The Architect's estimated construction cost for the project was $58,000.
City staff, and the City's consultant recommend that the base bid be awarded to Port
Enterprises, Ltd. of Corpus Christi, Texas in the amount of $30,818 for the Northwest
Library Re-roof 2004 project. The deductive alternate is not recommended based on the
limited savings.
CONTRACT TERMS: The contract speqifies that the project will be completed in 90
calendar days after the notice to proceed, .with completion anticipated no later than late
August 2004.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Date: April27, 2004
BACKGROUND: Virginia Turner worked for the City of Corpus Christi's International
Airport as a Parking Attendant for over twenty one and one-half years until her untimely
passing in February of 2000. During her time with the City she exemplified the true
qualities of customer service, friendship, dedication and self-sacrifice. Throughout her
tenure, she always had a smile on her face for the many thousands of customers or, as
Virginia would call them, friends she helped every day.
During even the most trying times Virginia always had a smile on her face and kind words
to say to weary, stressed-out travelers passing through her booth. It was not uncommon
for motorists exiting the parking lot to try to see which booth she was in so they could enjoy
her warm and friendly welcome home. During her protracted illness, and for months after
her passing, the Airport would receive calls from patrons asking about her. It is still not
uncommon to have people ask about her. Letters to the local paper showed how much
she meant to those who came into contact with her.

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
Date: April 27, 2004
AGENDA ITEM: An ordinance amending Article VII, Chapter 14, Code of Ordinances, City
of Corpus Christi, regarding fill permits; providing for penalties; providing for severance;
and providing for publication.
ISSUE: The current City fill material regulations limit the length of a fill permit to one week.
The proposed ordinance extends the term of permits from one week to 30 days, and
authorizes the Building Official to grant a 30 day extension. The proposed ordinance also
clarifies that the exemption that allows the depositing or dumping and spreading of dirt,
sand, or other gardening materials without a permit does not apply if the depositing or
dumping and spreading of dirt, sand, or other gardening materials will cause storm waters
to be diverted or impounded on adjoining premises.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: City Council action is required on amendments to the
Article VII, Chapter 14, Code of Ordinances.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: Ordinance # 25467, adopted on September 9, 2003,
relocated the City fill material regulations from Chapter 21 to Chapter 14 of Code of
Ordinances.
FUNDING: No funding requirements.
RECOMMENDATION: Approval of ordinance as submitted.
//~., a.',~a~ley; AICP
Director of Development Services
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
For a number of years the Building Official has been responsible for the administration of
the City's fill permitting ordinance, which was previously located in Chapter 21, Garbage,
Trash, and Other Refuse. In September, the ordinance was relocated to Chapter 14,
which now contains the most of the ordinances administered by Development Services.
Although the Building Official, has been the person in the City authorized to administer fill
permits, other City operations have been involved in the regulation and control of illegal
dumping, including Solid Waste, Health Department, and Code Enforcement.
Currently, the Fill Ordinance only allows up to a one week permit duration which has
proven to be too short for most fill operations. This change will extend the time for fill
operations that fall within the ordinance to 30 days. The ordinance will also allow for a
single 30 day time extension at the discretion of the Building Official.
The proposed ordinance also addresses the problem of residents improperly adding fill to
the yards that either diverts or impounds storm water on adjoining properties, which is a
violation of State law. It clarifies that the exemption from the requirement for a fill permit if
a resident deposits or dumps and spreads dirt, sand, or other gardening materials does not
allow the depositing or dumping and spreading of dirt, sand, or other gardening materials if
the depositing or dumping will cause storm waters to be diverted or impounded on
adjoining premises.
Feedback from the Development Community: This proposed ordinance change is a

ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
PURPOSE OFCLOSUREAND BACKGROUND:
Goldston Engineering, Inc., on behalf of the Corpus Christi Independent School District
(CCISD), is requesting the abandonment and vacation of a 6,734-square foot portion of
two 10-foot wide drainage easements in Lots 20-B & 20C, Block 1, Patrick Gardens School
Tract in order to accommodate the future construction of an elementary school building
that will occupy portions of the existing drainage easements.
All public and franchised utilities were contacted. The City Storm Water Department has a
54-inch storm waterline within the easements that will have to be relocated at owner's
expense. ^EP had no objections to the easement closures but will seek reimbursement if
adjustments to any of their facilities become necessary. None of the other city
departments and franchised utility companies had any facilities within the utility easement
or objections to the drainage easement abandonment.
Staff recommends that payment of the fair market value be waived because Owner will be
dedicating drainage easements of greater area to off-set the proposed abandonment. The
owner has been advised of and concurs with the conditions of the easement abandonment.

REQUEST:
Change of zoning from "A-I" Apartment House District and "B-4" General Business
District to "R-1B" One Family Dwelling District to develop a 10 l-lot residential
subdivision.
Ms. Goode-Macon provided a slide illustration of the subject property and the surrounding area.
(Zoning Report and tape recording on file.) She stated there were 62 notices mailed of which one was
received in favor and one was received in opposition.
The school south of the property is a special emphasis school so it may not serve all of the nearby
children. Mary Frances Teniente, Assistant Director of Special Services, without having the driveway
ordinance in hand, estimated that there would be 2 - 3 exits required onto Holly Rd. Improvements for
this area arc in the long range plans for improvement.
Chairman Berlanga opened the public hearing and called Sid Sweatt, 7010 Tamarron, forward to
speak. Long range plans for the subdivision do not include access directly to Holly Road. The existing
City traffic plan includes the extension of E1 Monte Street towards Martin with a cul-de-sac on the end.
The same with applies with Modesto Street.
There are 101 lots to be constructed within a 3 year period. There is an access point planned on
the subject property that extends to Carolyn Street which intersects with Martin Street. Commissioner
Berlanga stated that an altemative access onto Holly Road would have to be address. Applicant was
encouraged to meet with Mary Frances Teniente at their earliest convenience.
No one appeared in favor or opposition. Public hearing was closed. Motion by Salazar,
seconded by Amsler to recommend approval. Motion passed with all present.

· Change of zoning from "F-R" Farm-Rural District and "B-Y' Business District to "R-1B" One-family
Dwelling District on Tract 1 and "B-3" Business District on Tract 2.
· Tract 1 consists of 22.63 acres proposed as a 9 l-lot single-family subdivision and one unbuildabte lot
consisting of 2.67 acres proposed as a lake, totaling 25.30 acres.
· The proposed 91-lot subdivision could generate 910 average vehicle trips.

Tracts 1 and 2 are located in the Southsida Area Development Plan area. The future land use map
recommends Tract 1 develop as general commercial. However, due to the existing "R-lB" One-family
Dwelling District to the west and the remaining "F-W' Farm-Rural District to the north and west, all of
which allows for single-family development, an "R-lB" One-family Dwelling District could be supported
for Tract 1. The "R-lB" District amends the land use plan from general commercial to low-density
residential for Tract 1. The future land use map recommends Tract 2 develop as general commercial. The
"B-3" Business District is consistent with the adopted plan.
Applicant's Position: The applicant concurs with Planning Commission and Staff's recommendation.
Notification: Of the 13 notices mailed to the surrounding property owners, one (1) was returned in favor and none
were returned in opposition. The 20% rule is not invoked. This case is considered noncontroversial.

an acceptable designation for the subject property in that it expands the low-density

development occur at the intersection of Yorktown and Cimarron Boulevards.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
PUBLIC HEARING - ZONING (City Council Action Date: April 27, 2004)
Case No.: 0304-09~ Al Mostaghasi: A change ofzoinng from an "A-I" Apartment House District to a
"R-lB" One-family Dwelling District. The property is in Flour Bhiffand Encinal Farm and Garden Tracts,
Section 18, being 21 acres out of Lots 17, 18, 31, and 32, located south of Holly Road and 1,000 feet east of
Airline Road.
Planning Commission and Staff's Recommendation (03/24/04): Approval.
Requested Council Action: Approval of a "R-lB" One-family Dwelling District and adoption of the
at~ached ordinance.
Purpnse of Request: Development of a 91 -lot residential subdivision.
Summary:
· Change of zoning from "A-1" Apartment House District to "R-lB" One-family Dwelling District.
· Subject property is an unplatted tract consisting of 21 acres.
· The "R-1B" District allows for single-family development on lot areas not less than 6,000 square feet.
· The single-family subdivision will contain 9 l-lots that could generate 910 average vehicle trips.
,, Preliminary plat indicates subject property will be included with the overall development plans for the
"A-I" Apartment House District and "B-I" Neighborhood Business District txacts to the south.
· Access to the properly as shown on the preliminary plan is along Holly Road, Daly Drive and Hardwick
Drive.
· Holly Road is an arterial roadway that could accommodate the projected traffic generated by the proposed
single-family subdivision.
· Daly Drive, a rural local roadway, provides access to the subject property along the north boundary area
that connects directly to Williams Drive, a rural collector.
· Hardwick Drive, a local street, provides access to the property along the northeast boundary area.
· The proposed "R- lB" District is an expansion of the "R- lB" District to the north and east.
The Southside Comprehensive Area Development Plan's future land use map recommends the subject
property develop as multi-family. An "R-lB" District development provides for a lower residential density
than allowed by right under the current "A-I" Apartment House District. Generally, the "R-lB" District
could be supported, since it provides for residential uses that are similar to the residential developments to
the north and east. The "R-lB" District amends the land use plan from high-density residential to low-
density residential.

The "R-lB" District allows for single-family development on lot areas not less than 6,000
square feet.
The single-family subdivision will contain 91-lots that could generate 910 average
vehicle trips.
Preliminary plat indicates subject property will be included with the overall development
plans for the "A-I" Apartment House District and "B-I" Neighborhood Business District
tracts to the south.
Access to the property as shown on the preliminary plan is along Holly Road, Daly Drive
and Hardwick Drive.
Holly Road is an arterial roadway that could accommodate the projected traffic generated
by the proposed single-family subdivision.
Daly Drive, a rural local roadway, provides access to the subject property along the north
boundary area that connects directly to Williams Drive, a rural collector.
Hardwick Drive, a local street, provides access to the property along the northeast

The proposed "R-lB" District is an expansion of the "R-lB" District to the north and

The Southside Comprehensive Area Development Plan's future land use map
recommends the subject property develop as multi-family. A "R-lB" District
development provides for a lower residential density than allowed by right under the
current "A-I' Apartment House District. Generally, the "R-lB" District could be
supported, since it provides for residential uses that are similar to the residential
developments to the north and east.

The Southside Area Development Plan future land use map recommends multi-family
development. The "R-1B" provides for a lower density residential development than
multi-family development. Generally, the proposed "R-1B" District is consistent with the
"R-lB" Development to the north and east. The "R-lB" District amends the land use
plan from high-density residential to low-density residential.

AGENDA ITEM:
Presentation of General Fund Five Year Financial Forecast.
STAFF PRESENTER(S):

Department
1. Mark McDaniel
ACM-Support Services
ISSUE:
For the last several years, the City Council has been presented with a five year General
Fund financial forecast prior to consideration of the City Manager's proposed budget for the
following fiscal year. Although city staff is still in the process of compiling and balancing a
proposed budget for FY 2004-2005, the five year forecast provided under this item includes
preliminary estimates and projections which may be used for fiscal planning purposes.
BACKGROUND:
Since 1997, the City Council has adopted financial policies on an annual basis just prior to
consideration of the proposed budget. These policies, along with the use of a five year
General Fund financial forecast, have helped to enhance financial management practices
and have played a significant role rebuilding the City's unreserved fund balance. The
result has been improvements to the City's bond ratings and significant cost savings for
issuance of new debt.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION:

and have played a significant role rebuilding the City's unreserved fund balance. The
result has been improvements to the City's bond ratings and significant cost savings for
issuance of new debt.

WHEREAS, this policy provides an essential guide to direct financial planning and to

WHEREAS, Resolution No. 023319 requires City Council to reaffirm the financial policy
annually in conjunction with preparation of the budget.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Development/Effective Date of Financial Policy. This Financial Policy
reaffirms and amends the financial policies adopted by each year by the City Council
since 1997. This Financial Policy is made part of the City Comprehensive Policy
Manual. The City Manager is directed to prepare the FY2004-05 proposed budget in
April 27. 2004 Financial Policies.doc
2
accordance with this policy. The City Council is prepared to make expenditure
reductions that may be necessary to comply with this policy.
SECTION 2. Current Revenues Equal/Exceed Current Expenditures. Current
General Fund operating revenues will equal or exceed current budgeted expenditures.
SECTION 3. Fund Balance Reserve/Working Capital. To ensure that current and
future services or operations are not severely impacted by any economic slowdowns,
emergencies, natural disasters or other unforeseen circumstances, adequate financial
resources will be set aside in the General Fund unreserved fund balance. Accordingly it
is the goal of the City Council to build and maintain a reserve in the General Fund
unreserved fund balance which totals at least ten (10%) percent of total annual General
Fund appropriations, excluding anticipated reimbursements and inter-fund transfers,
within five years. The City Manager shall report on the progress toward achievement of
this ten (10%) percent goal at least annually as part of the budget process. Unique
situations may arise in which the timing of external actions out of the City's control may
require the use of the funds in the reserve. The City Manager shall note these
situations in the budget and in financial reports presented to the City Council on a
quarterly basis.
SECTION 4. Operating Contingencies. The City Manager is directed to budget at
least $200,000 per year as an operating contingency as part of General Fund
expenditures in order to further insulate the General Fund unreserved fund balance
from unforeseen circumstances. The City Manager is directed to budget similar
operating contingencies as expenditures in enterprise and special revenue funds of the
city.
SECTION 5. Multi-Year Financial Forecasting. The City will maintain a five-year
financial plan for the General Fund to anticipate potential budget imbalances and
unfavorable revenue or expenditure trends, thus allowing for the identification of
budgetary gaps long before they develop into fiscal crises. The City shall also maintain
business plans and/or rate models for enterprise operations.
SECTION 6. Revenue Enhancement. The City shall attempt to pursue and maintain a
diversified and stable revenue stream for the General Fund in order to shelter finances
from short term fluctuations in any one revenue source.
SECTION 7. Quarterly Financial Reporting and Monitoring. The City Manager shall
provide interim financial performance reports and updates to the City Council on a
quarterly basis. These interim reports must include detailed year to date revenue and
expenditure estimates, as well as explanations for major variances to budget. The
format of the quarterly report must be relatively consistent with the adopted budget.
SECTION 8. Use of Nonrecurring Revenue. The City shall endeavor to use
nonrecurring revenue to fund one-time expenditures. Nonrecurring revenue may
include items such as sale of fixed assets, court settlements, or revenue collection
windfalls.
Apd127, 2004 Financial Policies,doc
SECTION 9. Debt Affordability Reviews/Disclosure Practices. The City Manager
shall maintain strong debt management practices as evidenced by types and methods
of financing approved by the City Council. Debt affordability reviews will consider
overall exposure between invested assets and external debt issuance. Debt disclosure
will include measures beyond the standard audited financial statements and
publications. These measures must incorporate disclosure of material events impacting
the financial status of the City. Additional financial report disclosures will go beyond
GASB 34 requirements and may include supplementary information sections and data
on demographics and other key statistics.
SECTION 10. Debt Service Fund Balance. In order to provide additional financial
security, the General Obligation Debt Service Fund will maintain an acceptable level of
fund balance to cover a substantial portion of the subsequent year principal and interest
debt obligation.
SECTION 1t. Debt Retirement Practices. The City shall not issue debt for a term
that exceeds the useful life of the asset or project being financed. In assessing the
desirability to refund existing debt, the City shall use a benchmark of at least three
percent (3 %) net present value savings. The City shall not refund debt for a period
beyond original maturity dates.
SECTION 12. Capital Improvement Plans/Funding. As part of the annual capital
budget process, the City shall update its short and long range capital improvement
plans. For the three-year short term plan, projects include any projected incremental
operating costs for programmed facilities. The long range plan extends for an additional
seven years, for a complete plan that includes ten years. Short-term plan projects must
be fully funded, with corresponding resoumes identified. As part of a concerted effort to
reduce debt levels and improve financial flexibility, the City shall pursue pay-as-you-go
capital funding where possible.

$50,000 to be used by the Junior League for the design and construction of a skate park.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
II
April 27, 20O4
In an effort to attract businesses to the City of Corpus Christi and promote redevelopment
of the Renewal Community, the Guidelines and Cdteria for Granting Tax Abatement are
presented with some additions from the guidelines adopted in the past.
Texas law allows cities to grant temporary tax abatements to companies and industries to
encourage locating in or expanding within the City's jurisdiction orto improve the economic
viability of the project.
The state law also requires that local govemments adopt guidelines and criteria everytwo
years in order to maintain their tax abatement program. In addition, state law requires
municipalities to hold public headng to designate certain areas for special tax abatement
privileges as reinvestment zones. However, according to the Tax Code, areas designated
as Texas Enterprise Zones are automatically considered reinvestment zones without
further hearing or other procedural requirements. Since the 2003 Texas Legislature added
Renewal Communities as automatic designations as Texas Enterprise Zones, the Renewal
Community is automatically considered a Reinvestment Zone.
The proposed Guidelines and Cdteda for Granting Tax Abatement adds a section granting
tax abatement for rehabilitated and new facilities in the Renewal Community, which
includes Corpus Christi Beach, Downtown Corpus Christi and portions of the North and
West side. The criteria for receiving tax abatement in the Renewal Community requires
the business or developer to create at least one permanent full time job for every $50,000
invested in the rehabilitation or construction of a facility. The job requirement will be
waived for residential facilities and prorated for mixed-use facilities.
In addition, projects that would otherwise not qualify for abatement in other areas, such as
housing, hotel and other commercial projects may be eligible for abatement in the Renewal
Community. Projects will be considered on a case by case basis. Tax abatement in the
Renewal Community will be limited to no more than 5 years for rehabilitation projects and 4
years for new construction, including the construction period.
The guidelines and criteria for granting tax abatement for non-Renewal Community
projects remains unchanged from the guidelines adopted in the past. The City of Corpus
Christi last adopted guidelines and cdteda for granting lax abatement in December 1999.
Over the years, the City of Corpus Christi has granted tax abatement to Coastal Javelina,
First Data Corporation, MCA Telecommunications, Trinity Towers, Sitel Corporation and
APAC.
RESOLUTION
ADOPTING GUIDELINES AND CRITERIA FOR AUTHORIZING
TEMPORARY PROPERTY TAX ABATEMENT
Whereas, the Texas Property Redevelopment and Tax Abatement Act (the "Act"),
Texas Tax Code, Chapter 312, as amended, authorizes the City of Corpus Christi (the

criteria for granting tax abatement, duly adopted by the City; and
Whereas, the City most recently adopted Guidelines and Criteria for Granting Tax
Abatement in Resolution No. 023869 on December 14, 1999 which were effective for
two years as provided in the Act; and
Whereas, the City desires to adopt Guidelines and Criteria for Granting Tax Abatement;

2) Renewal Community Facilities
Provided that, for a Renewal Community Facility which creates one (1) new permanent
full-time job per $50,000 of Added Value to a property following the completion of
construction and maintains the same level of employment for the term of the abatement
agreement, the percentage of tax abated shall be in accordance with the following

(h)
For compliance purposes, the date for determining a permanent full-time job shall be
six months from the date of completion. The business must maintain the same level of
employment or increase employment during the term of the agreement.
For example:
Company X is rehabilitating a building In the Renewal Community for a commercial use.
The current value of the building is $250,000 and Company X esti~ ~es an added
value of $750,000. The job requirement will be to create and maintain ~ Jinlmum of 15
permanent full-time positions dudng the term of the abatement agreerJ~ .t. ($750,000 I
$50,000 = 15)
For residential multi-family housing, the job creation requirement will be waived.
For mixed-use facilities, the job requirement will be prorated. For example:
Company Y is constructing a mixed-use facility that is 30% non-residential and the
Added Value is $1,500,000. The job requirement will be to create and maintain a
minimum of 9 permanent full-time jobs during the term of the abatement agreement.
(1,500,000X.30=$450,000, $450,000/$50,000=9).
Llvinfl Ware Requirement. In order to count as a permanent full-time job under this tax
abatement program, the job should provide a 'living wage" for the employee. The target
living wage under this abatement program shall be that annual amount equal or greater
than poverty level for a family of throe, as established by the 2004 U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services Poverty Guidelines, divided by 1820 hours per year, which is
$8.60 per hour. The Govemmental Unit shall have the right to adjust the living wage
target under these Guidelines and insert a specific target in each property tax abatement
A~reement to govern the abatement offered under that Agreement.

Rehabilitation Proiects. The $2 million minimum Added Value requirement for abatement
shall not apply to rehabilitation projects which involve the adaptive reuse of an existing
structure or building for a Facility. In order to qualify as a rehabilitation project under this
prevision, the project must involve a minimum Added Value, as defined, of $250,000.
Any rehabilitation project must involve the adaptive reuse of an existing structure or
building currently on the preperty tax rells so that the Base Year Value associated with
the project will Include both the value of the land and the existing improvements. For
such rehabilitation projects, all Eligible Preperty in excess of the Base Year Value shall be
subject to abatement plus the value of personal preperty such as furniture and movable
equipment which would otherwise be considered Ineligible Preperty for any other type of
abatement category. In no event, however, may the total value of personal preperty
subject to abatement exceed $1 million or the total amount of all preperty subject to
abatement in a rehabilitation project exceed $5 million.
Estimated Added Value or Added Value Requirement. At the time of execution of the tax
abatement Agreement, the Owner shall reasonably estimate the Added Value upon
completion of construction of any improvements to real property in connection with the
Preject. For Renewal Community Facility, the owner shall provide reasonable estimates
of the Added Value to be made to the property in addition to the estimated Added Value.
This "Estimated Added Value" and, for Renewal Community Facility, "Added Value" shall
be stated in the Agreement. In the event that upon completion, of construction of the
improvements, the Added Value, as determined by the Nueces County Appraisal District,
shall at any time thereafter during the term of the abatement Agreement be less than
eight-five percent (85%) of the Estimated Added Value, not due to circumstances beyond
the contrel of Owner, the Owner agrees to pay an amount equal to the then current tax
rate of each Eligible jurisdiction previding abatement applied to the difference between
the actual Added Value from eighty-five percent (85%) of the Estimated Added Value,
multiplied by 100% minus the net percentage of Abatement previded under the
Agreement. For the purposes of this prevision, the term "circumstances beyond the
control of Owner" shall include casualty losses, national economic factors, shutdowns
due to governmental regulations, strikes, acts of war, and the like. The formula for
calculating such additional tax is outlined as follows:
[Tax Rate] x [(85% of Est. Added Value - Actual AV) x (100% - Abatement %)] = Additional Tax
Properties in Industrial Districts. For eligible property to be constructed in an area which
is covered by an executed industrial distdct agreement with the City, the method of
calculating payments in lieu of property taxes for such eligible preperty shall be as set
forth in the industrial district agreement. As an alternative to an industrial district
agreement, an eligible property may be Covered by a tax abatement agreement, but such
shall constitute an election by the Owner that the land and Improvements shall not be
included within any type of industrial district arrangement following the expiration of the
tax abatement agreement.
Economic Qualification for Non-Residential Development and Mixed-Use Facilities In
order to be eligible for tax abatement, the planned improvement:
(1)
must create no later than the January 1 following the completion of construction and
maintain throughout the remainder of the term of the Agreement the minimum
number of 50 permanent full-time jobs in Nueces County, or

use facility, the job requirement will apply to the non-residential improvement and
will be prorated as described in Section 2(g)(2);
(3) must not adversely affect competition in the local market with established local
businesses.
Taxability. From the execution of the Agreement to the end of the abatement period,
taxes shall be payable as follows:
(1) The value of Ineligible Property as provided in Section 2(e) shall be fully taxable
(except for personal property added in connection with a Rehabilitation Project);

ADDITIONAL SUPPORT MATERIAL
Ordinance/Resolution []
Background Information
April 27, 2004
Past Council Action:
December 17, 2002 - Public Hearing and Council approval of the Tax Incentive Utilization Plan.
August 21, 2001 - Resolution authorizing the City Manager to submit an application for Renewal
Community designation.
In 2001, the City of Corpus Chdsti submitted an application for Renewal Community Designation
which allows businesses in designated areas to be eligible for $17 billion of tax incentives.
Communities applying for designation were required to sign a certification of economic growth
requirements and commit to reducing certain requirements in the Renewal Community in order to
promote redevelopment in these distressed communities.
The Tax Incentive Utilization Plan, a strategic implementation plan for the Renewal Community,
was adopted by the City Council in December 2002. One of the commitments in the Tax Incentive
Utilization Plan was to decrease by 50 percent building permits and survey fees for projects located
in the Renewal Community. The proposed ordinance allows these reductions effective May 1, 2004
to December 31, 2009.
From August 1, 2003 to March 31, 2004, 14 of 115 permits for remodeling and 2 of 64 permits for
new construction were located in the Renewal Community. Permit revenue for these projects
amounted to $3,882, which means that this ordinance change would have reduced revenue by
$1,941 in the current year, if in effect August 1, 2003.
