Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
July 13, 2004 - Page 2
commercial paper notes that staffwould like to refund and convert into long-term debt. In addition,
Ms. O'Brien stated that since interest rates were relatively low, staff`was requesting approval to issue
up to $25 million for new projects instead of re-investing the dollars in the commercial paper
program_
Mayor Neal asked what the current interest rate was on the short-term commercial paper
program staffwas asking to replace. Assistant City Manager Mark McDaniel replied that it was just
under two percent, and the city was expected to sell the notes for five percent.
Mayor Neal asked for public comment. Mr. Abel Alonzo asked what the potential savings
would be to act on this item now because of low interest rotes_ Ms. O'Brien replied that by issuing
the additional $25 million now, the city would save on its bend issue costs by combining the two
issues. She said the potential savings could be approximately $200,000 to $300,000. Mr. Bill
Kopecky, 3609 Topeka, asked what the total utility system debt would be upon completion of this
transaction. Mr. Mark Seale of M.E. Allison replied that the debt would be approximately $310
million upon completion of the transaction.

Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 7 regarding a contract for an efficiency review of the
Fire and EMS departments. Mr_ Carlos Torres, president of the Corpus Christi Firefighters
Association, expressed his concern that the city's RFI had not requested a comprehensive study_ He
asked that the study include the management division, training division, administration, and
dispatching division of the fire department to provide a complete picture. He said he was informed
this morning that one of the reasons the city was not requesting a comprehensive report was due to
budget constraints. Mr. Torres stated that a comprehensive review of the f~re, EMS, HAZMAT, and
rescue operations was well worth the expense. As an aside, Mr. Kinnison complimented the f~re
department on their performance during the recent fire at the Casa de Oro Apartments.
Mr. Abel Alonzo echoed Mr. Torres's statement, specifically citing concerns with overtime
and lack ora fire truck_ City Manager Noe replied that the report was not comprehensive, focusing
on primary operating functions only because of cost constraints. He said a comprehensive study
would cost $164,000, while the partial study would cost approximately $80,000. He stated,
however, that the city would have the opportunity to add increments of work to the study as funding
became available in the fiscal year. Mr. Noe said the partial study was still valuable because it
would provide solid recommendations in those areas with the greatest costs.
Mr. Noyola spoke in support of funding a comprehensive study of the ftre department
because it was greatly needed. He asked staff to investigate ways of funding of a full study. City
Manager Noe replied that staffwould have recommended a full study if there had been a funding
available. He asked the Council to approve this partial study, and as the study moved forward, staff
would look for opportunities in next year's budget to fund more increments of the study. City
Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:

Mayor Neal referred to the presentations on the day's agenda_ The first presentation was on
Dances with Dolphins, a public art project. Ms. Suzel Mendieta, co-chairman of the project, stated
that the project's mission statement was to involve the community in a project for downtown that
will celebrate the many aspects of this community's varied cultural environments through a public
art project_ She said the dolphins would be located in public right-of-ways and private property in
the downtown area_ An estimated 2540 dolphins would be distributed throughout the downtown
area from July 2004 to May 2005. In May 2005, a public auction would be held. She said half the
proceeds would be donated to non-profit organizations and charities in the community, and the other
half would go to Art for All, Incorporated to cover their expenses. She said any momes remaining
would be donated to an art-related charity of their choice.
Ms_ Mendieta provided information on the artists. She said a call to artists was extended
from September through November, 2003, including both local and state artists. The artists
submitted their designs, the proposals were reviewed, and then selected through a juded process.
She said potential sponsors could review over 100 designs and make a selection. The artists would
be notified when their dolphin proposal had been chosen by a sponsor. She said each artist would
receive a $1,000 honorarium. A plaque would be permanently affixed to the dolphin base with the
sponsor's name and the name of the artist who designed the dolphin. The sponsorships were $3,000
per dolphin.
Ms. Mendieta provided basic information on the dolphin designs. She said they were
approximately seven feet long and are constructed of fiberglass. She said they would be mounted
on metal poles standing approximately six to seven feet tall. In addition, she said they would be
mounted in one of two different positions depending on the artist's preference.
Ms. Mendieta displayed a number of photo depicting where various dolphin designs would
be located in the downtown area, along with artist and sponsor information. Finally, Ms_ Mendieta
thanked a number of their in-kind sponsors for their support, especially the Downtown Management
District.
In conclusion, Ms. Mendieta inla'oduced Ms. Monika De La Garza, who invited the Council
to attend a public unveiling ceremony of the first eight dancing dolphin statues on Sunday, July 18
at 3:00 p_m. in Sherrill Park.

The next presentation was a report on the "Make It Sparkle" anti-litter campaign. Director
of Public Information Cheryl Soward stated that City Manager Noe had appointed a task force
comprised of representatives from approximately 12 different departments to develop the anti-
littering campaign.
She first reported on the city's current efforts to control litter, which were quite substantial.
Solid waste services provided the following services: garbage/yard waste pick-up and disposal;
heavy brush pick-up/disposal; recycling pick-up and drop-off; bulky item pick-up and disposal;
quarterly Cash for Trash programs; household hazardous waste events; and tire collection and
disposal. The storm water department was cleaning 18,320 storm drain inlets, 115 miles of major
drainage ditches, and 668 miles of minor roadside ditches. In addition, storm water had an active
outreach and education program already established in area schools, the perfect vehicle for reaching
students. The park and recreation department ensured that litter was removed daily from eight miles
of beach, and that city parks were cleaned and mowed. The Neighborhood Initiative Program (NIP)
had collected over 600 tons of trash and debris from selected areas. Environmental services worked
with Beautify Corpus Christi to conduct ongoing cleanup campaigns, education, outreach, and tree
plantings. Code enforcement and the police department have strengthened their efforts in citing
violators. Finally, the legal and municipal court departments have joined forces to create stronger
ordinances and an environmental court to prosecute violators_
Ms_ Soward discussed the task force's proposed solution to further improve the city's
appearance. The task force determined that a combination of education and enforcement was vital
to the effort. In addition, they recognized the need to stop litter at the source, and would be asking
for help fi.om residents, businesses, schools, organizations, and the media_ She remarked that H-E-B
has committed to increasing their trash pick-up at their stores from once to twice a day.
Ms. Soward covered the different aspects of the media campaign. She said the Corpus
Christ~ Caller-Times had produced an ad that was now running in the paper. The city had also
distributed thousands of "Make It Sparkle" vehicle trash bags, replete with anti-littering tips printed
on the bag, at the Fourth of July Big Bang celebration_ In addition, Lamar Advertising had donated
billboard advertising in various locations in the city featuring the "Make It Sparkle" message.
Finally, Ms. Soward stated that the city has produced four television public service announcements
(PSA) and three radio PSAs, and she played them for the Council.
Ms_ Soward discussed the task force's methods for measuring success as follows: number
of inlets cleaned and amount of litter removed; number of citations written; reach of media
campaign; visits to "Sparkle" site at www.cctexas.com: and the overall appearance of specific
locations in the city.
Mr. Scott asked if it would be possible to send information on the campaign to commercial
utility accounts. He was especially concerned about problems with grass clippings in the storm
drains_ City Manager Noe replied affirmatively, adding that landscaping companies were also a
source for the grass clippings. Mr. Noyola asked that staff also speak with TxDOT about being
careful with their grass clippings.
Mr. Scott also recognized H-E-B and the Caller-Times for their support of the anti-littering
effort, as well as staff. Finally, he emphasized that enforcement was crucial to the success of the
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
July 13, 2004 - Page 8
effort.
Mr. Colmenero complimented the effectiveness of the Neighborhood Initiative Program
(NIP), and he asked staffto further publicize their accomplishments. Ms. Soward replied that the
Council would be receiving a complete report on the NIP's accomplishments in two weeks.

contract at the Oso Beach and Gabe Lozano golf courses. He asked for public comment. Mr. Bob
Tittlow, 7122 Brookedge Lane, expressed his concerns about Prince Catering's operations at the Oso
Beach golf course, and he spoke in support of terminating the contract_
Mr. Noyola stated that he had understood staffwas going to continue working with Mr. Mel
Davis, the owner of Prince Catering, to address these concerns. City Manager Noe replied
negatively, saying that the Council had asked staff to provide the minutes from the Greens
Committee meetings covering their concerns about Prince Catering, which was done. He also said
the Council had asked a representative from the Greens Committee to address the Council on the
issue. He noted that Mr_ Davis had not provided any additional payment since the last Council
meeting. Assistant City Manager Margie Rose added that as of July 10, 2004, an additional $3,500
was due.
Mr. Noyola stated that he had not heard any complaints firom golfers regarding Prince
Catering, except that Mr. Davis occasionally opened late. He said that the golf participation at the
city golf courses had declined significantly, and he understood why Mr. Davis was having difficulty
making his payments. He spoke against terminating the contract.
Mr. Kelly asked how long it would take to replace Prince Catering with another company
if the contract was terminated. Ms. Rose replied that the city would have to go through the RFP
process to fred another catering company, which could take more than three months. During the
interim, Ms. Rose said the city would lease vending machines and place them at the sites. City
Manager Noe added that the city would look for other ways to enhance the service in the interim,
perhaps by hiring a company for a three-month contract. Ms. Rose also stated that the contract
required services to terminate 60 days from the date of termination, thus reducing the period without

The Council went into executive session. The Council returned fi.om executive session_ Mr.
Chesney made the following motion, seconded by Mr. Scott, and passed with the following vote:
29. MOTION NO. 2004-259
Motion to end all negotiations with Nueces County regarding the City/County jail use
agreement.
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 asked City Manager Noe to write a letter to Nueces County informing them of
the Council's decision and hand deliver it today.
Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 25, the first reading of the FY 2004-05 budget
adoption ordinance. City Manager Noe noted that Items 26 (.personnel ordinance), 27 (TMRS
ordinance), and 28 (proposed fees) were several implementation items also related to the budget.
He announced that staffwas withdrawing Item 28i, saying it would be placed on a future agenda.
Assistant City Manager Mark McDaniel stated that there was consensus among the City
Council at the last two budget hearings (May 25, 2004 and June 29, 2004) to incorporate
adjustments related to CVB funding and garage sale permits. He said the adjustments were
referenced as Amendment # 1 a (increase in CVB funding) and Amendment # lb (elimination of the
proposed garage sale permit fee), and were delineated in a schedule. He said Amendment # 1 a would
be presented as three separate options for Council consideration as noted_ Amendment #lb would
be achieved the same way in all three options by decreasing $10,000 in salary savings fi'om the
vacant assistant city manager of administration services.
Mr. McDaniel discussed each of the three options for Amendment #la. In Option 1,
Amendment #la would be achieved by decreasing the CVB's Las Carabellas (Columbus ships)
contribution towards debt payment fi-om $252,842 to $104,724, a difference orS 148,118. In Option
2, the city could take a portion of the old debt for the convention center and the thermal energy
storage system and decrease the current debt payment of $2,844,546 by $148,118, leaving
$2,696,428. He said the debt service fund would end up paying the difference for a short-term
period_ He said one of the advantages of this option is that the debt expires in 2006-07, making the
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
July 13, 2004 - Page 15
payments quite manageable. Finally, Mr. McDaniel described Option 3 (the General Fund option),
which involved decreasing the contribution to the Art Museum of South Texas by $50,000, and
decreasing the contribution to the multicultural services by $98,118, totaling $148,118. Then, on
the revenue side, he said the multicultural center funding by $98,118, decreasing the Cash for Trash
funding by $58,118 and decreasing the general fund contingency by $40,000.
Mr. McDaniel added that the second reading for the budget adoption ordinance would be
scheduled for July 29 because the certified roll would not be ready in time for the July 20 meeting.
He said staffwas recommended that the second reading for the fee ordinances (Items 26-28) also
be delayed to July 29.
Mayor Neal stated that he would like to see the CVB receive a net $250,000 in additional
funding that could be applied toward promotion, especially of the new convention center and arena.
Mr_ Kinnison interjected that SMG was responsible for marketing the new arena and convention
center and, based on their bookings, they seemed to be doing a good job. Mr. Kinnison said the
question seemed to be what new efforts the CVB would take on with the augmented funding. He
noted that during their last update, the CVB had introduced a new focus toward convention business.
Based on his calculations, however, if the city were to attract 10 new conventions with 1,000
delegates each staying three nights, they would only add 30,000 room nights, or less than one
percent of the available rooms. In the past, the city had increased funding to the CVB, but he said
there had been no real gains in tourism. Mr. Kmnison said he strongly preferred that any increases
in funding to the CVB be based on performance. Mr. McDaniel replied that he and CVB
President/CEO Tom Galyon would be discussing the CVB's contract, which was set to expire in July
2005, and performance-based measures would be part of the conversation. Mr. Kilmison also said
he was in favor of increasing CVB funding through hotel occupancy tax revenues, not general fund
revenues.
Mr. Kinnison also expressed his concern that the general fund budget had increased by six
percent in one year. He stated that the increases were primarily driven by rising persounel costs,
notably the increase in the TMRS employee contribution from 5 percent to 6 percent as a result of
the police contract negotiation. Mr. Kinnison said the Council had not been aware that the increase
in the TMRS contribution would create such a large financial commitment for the city. He said,
however, that the Council did have the ability to change the contribution, or match, if they w/shed.
In addition, he commented that the city had made a commitment to bring employee salaries up to
market levels through the compensation study. He had asked Mr. McDaniel to run a number of
scenarios altering the 3 percent raise that employees had expected this fiscal year. He concluded
that he could not support a budget with this level of increased revenues and expenditures, and
unfortunately, the only solution he could offer would be to decrease personnel costs either through
altering employee raises or changing the TMRS contribution. He said these measures were difficult,
but he felt they should be seriously considered due to the condition of the budget, and the
detrimental effect the fee increases would have on the citizens.
Mr. Noyola did not support altering the TMRS employee contribution or employee raises.
He stated that employees insurance costs were going to increase next year, and the employees
needed the raise to break even. He said he was not happy about increased fees, but he was willing
to support fee increases if his constituents would see improved services. In conclusion, he said he
supported the budget as presented by staff.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
July 13, 2004 - Page 16
City ManagerNoe stated that the Council had made the bold commitment to tackle employee
compensation issues, citing high turnover and low salaries. Mr. Noe said the city was primarily a
service organization, so 70 to 75 percent of its total costs were personnel driven. The Council had
committed to having employees who were well-compensated with competitive salaries and benefits.
However, it was not possible to meet this goal without increasing costs.
Mr. Chesney remarked that fortunately, the city was able to balance its budget this year, and
thus, it was difficult to tell employees that the city could not cover salary raises. He said the Council
had made a commitment to the employees, so he found it difficult to break this commitment. He
understood Mr. Kinnison's concern about the increases for citizens, but he wanted to maintain
employees raises.
Mayor Neal stated that in 1999, the Council informed employees that they could not give
employee raises due to the city's financial condition_ He said the Council told employees that when
times were better, the city would restore salary raises as a reward for their sacrifice. Mayor Neal
was strongly against breaking this commitment because it would create a lack of trust.
Ms. Cooper pointed out that the city was not raising property taxes this year, as many other
cities had been forced to do because of budget problems. Citizens were experiencing higher
property taxes primarily because of higher property valuations. She could not in good conscience
alter employee raises, especially because employee insurance costs were rising. She said employees
deserved a raise for the good work they were doing, and the proposed three percent raise was small
as it was.
Mr. Scott stated that he felt the CVB was producing good results_ He said the CVB has
provided statistics for many years indicating that their budget was not competitive with other cities.
Thus, he was in favor of increasing their funding as they had requested, preferably through Option
2 presented by staff. Mr. Scott also asked for information on current employee turnover rates
because he wanted to see if better compensation had positively affected the turnover rates. Finally,
Mr. Scott pointed out that the increased fees for taxpayers were also paying for improved services
and capital improvements, not solely personnel costs_
Mr. Colmenero did not support altering employee raises. He also stated that the city needed
to take steps to assist the CVB with the Las Carabelas (Columbus Ships).
Mr. Kelly stated that the Council needed to keep their promise to the city employees about
their pay raises. He was disappointed that the city could not offer a tax cut, however. Mr. Noe
replied that a tax cut could be possible once the city receives the tax roll fi.om the appraisal district.
If revenues exceed the budget projections, then the Council had directed staffto provide the citizens
with some measure of tax relief_
Mr. Garrett stated that he did not support altering or delaying employee raises. He made a
motion to adopt Option 2 (Amendment #la and Amendment #lb) as presented by staff in the
proposed budget, seconded by Mr. Kelly, and it passed unanimously.
Mayor Neal added that it was important to manage the city's funds to meet its goals_ He
said the community was growing, and thus, service demands were also growing. He reiterated that
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
July 13, 2004- Page 17
if the property valuations come in higher than projections, the city will reduce the tax rate.
Nevertheless, he did not want to penalize employees who contributed to the growth of the
community through their service delivery. He reiterated that it was important to keep the Council's
promise to the employees.
Mayor Neal asked for public comment. Mr. J.E. O'Brien, 4130 Pompano, spoke against the
utility rate increases in the proposed budget. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes

comments fi-om the public. Mayor Neal noted that the 2-to-1 match included a 5.06 percent prior
service rate that was a hedge against inflation, set by TMRS as determined through an actuarial
study. Mr. Kinnison noted that if the city had not agreed to change the police contract, the city's
contribution would have been 12.05 percent instead of 14.03 percent. City Manager Noe replied
affirmatively, but noted that the difference also included a 0.3 percent increase for CPI increase for
retirees. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
City Council Action Date: 07/20/04
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution approving the submission of a grant application in the amount
of $102,221 to the U. S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance for funding
eligible under the FY 2004 Local Law Enforcement Block Grants Program. Grant funds will
be used to purchase law enforcement equipment for the Police Department.
ISSUE: The Department of Justice provides funding opportunities each year in an
effort to reduce crime and improve public safety through various methods, including the
procuring of equipment, technology, and other material directly related to basic law
enforcement functions.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: City Council must a~oprove the application for submission.
FUNDING: The funding will be available October 1, 2004 and must be expended within
a 24-rnonth period from the date of the grant award. The grant funds may not exceed
90% of total ~ogram costs and participation requires a cash match of $10772
provided from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund. This is the ninth year we will receive

Pdor to the obligation of any funds received, the City must establish an advisory board

BACKGROUNDINFORMATION
With this ninth award, the Law Enforcement Block Grant (LEBG) program has provided
a total of $3,765,137 in grant funds to the City since the program began in 1996. The
funds have been used to purchase backbone equipment for the Mobil Data/Automated
Vehicle Location project, 27 police package vehicles, 61 unmarked police units, a
property van, SWAT equipment, a bomb suit, digitized radios, radios for the
Communications van, digital cameras, radars, video cameras, personal computer
hardware and sol~vare, an upgrade to the computer system and the radio microwave
system, a mobile police substation, a SWAT rescue vehicle, and other police
equipment.
The LEBG funds for 2004 have been reduced by $106,582 or 54% due to a larger
portion of federal funds being designated to Home Land Security.
The funds are dispersed by the Department of Justice on the basis of Part One
offenses reported to the FBI through the Uniform Crime Report. The City repurts a
much larger number of Part One offenses as compared to Nueces County, thereby
receiving a greater distribution of funds. The federal law provides for states to declare
funding disparities if a political subdivision incurs more than 50% of the costs in a given
county or prosecution and incarceration of Part One crimes. In the state of Texas, the
Attorney General has determined that Texas counties are responsible for more than
50% of these costs and has certified this fact to the Bureau of Justice Assistance. With
this certification, the City must share the total award with Nueces County. We have
agreod to split the funds 50150 with the County as we have done the past 5 years.
They have bcc,-3 advised that beth jurisdictions must apply by the July 23 deadline or
both entities will lose the funding.

BACKGROUNDINFORMATION
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Fire Station No. 10 had an underground fuel storage tank (UST) on site that has been
removed. The tank was discovered to be leaking and City has been engaged in mitigation
activities to achieve TCEQ closeout since 1996. TCEQ requires approval of corrective
actions prior to the work beginning for the City to be eligible for reimbursement. TCEQ has
been very systematic in approving the work program to ensure only the minimal necessary
to achieve closure is expended. Shallow groundwater in Nueces County is generally not
suitable for potable or other uses. The material that escaped from the UST has not
migrated off the property, and poses no risk to the public.
Historically, expenditures for UST mitigation were funded by the operating department or
through dsk mitigation. These funds were reimbursed when payment was received from
TCEQ (formerly TNRCC). Changes in Generally Accepted Accounting Procedures caused
the City to cease using reimbursements. As a result, reimbursement notifications are
treated as a grant notification requiring appropriation.
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION:
March 5, 1996 - Motion authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to execute an
environmental services contract with Applied Earth Services, Inc., in an amount not to
exceed $50,700.00 for mitigation of vadous leaking UST sites (M96-061)_
July 8, 2003 - Motion authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to execute
Amendment No. 9 to the environmental services contract with Applied Earth Services, Inc.,
in an amount not to exceed $29,126.00 for mitigation of various leaking UST sites (M2003-
238).
PRIOR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION:
Eight minor administrative amendments to the contract with Applied Earth Sciences were
made as TCEQ approved additional mitigation measures.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The grant will result in the installation of an additional
monitoring well, four additional quarters of groundwater monitoring, sampling, and
preparation of a report of the monitoring results.
FUNDING: Appropriation of the grant is necessary pdor to expenditure.

EXHIBIT "A" I
Page 4 of 6
original schedule estimated an erection completion date of January 15, 2004. The
actual completion date for erecting the tank was May 24, 2004.
PADRE ISLAND PUMP STATION BACKGROUND: The odginal recommended shod-term
Padre Island Pump Station (PIPS) improvements were meant to allow for a quick addition
of a single 250-300 HP pump to allow significant improvement in the ability to maintain
distribution system pressure for summer 2004. The recommended improvements consisted
of;
· One (1) new 4,000 gpm pump on a pad adjacent the existing pump building.
· Connection to the existing 18-inch diameter pump suction headerwith a shod length
of pipe and a tee.
· Temporary power feed for the new pump located in the existing pump building.
· A new 18 to 24-inch diameter discharge header.
· A standby generator,
The estimated cost for the odginal scope was estimated at $1,000,000. Due to the shod
lead time of having additional pump capacity by June 30, 2004, the City Council was
informed at the March 30, 2004 meeting, that a change order to an existing contract was
necessary to achieve this.
After review by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), requirements for
permanent improvements were mandated. Two pumps are now required for redundancy
purposes. The requirement to power two pumps made temporary electrical gear
impractical, and thus an electrical building was included in the improvements. Three
pumps will be required to give the firm capacity required through the year 2010 and
beyond. Therefore, the pump suction and discharge headers were designed to
accommodate a total of three pumps. Noise became an issue for the neighbors dudng a
ddlling operation on the pump station site, and thus the pump foundation was made
integral with the electrical building foundation, and a future pump enclosure with a monorail
crane was planned. Due to the potential for pumping at a rate in excess of 12 mgd, the
existing 12-inch diameter pump station supply line was entirely inadequate, requiring a new
24-inch diameter supply line and new larger tank taps on both ground storage tanks. In
summary, the differences in the PIPS pump station improvements project are as follows:
· Two (2) new 4,000 gpm pumps on a foundation for a future building.
· New 36-inch diameter steel suction header for three (3) pumps.
· New 30-inch diameter steel discharge header for three (3) pumps.
· New climate-controlled electrical building and electrical gear.
· New 24-inch inlet and outlet with associated piping on the 750,000-gallon tank.
· New 24-inch piping to the 400,000-gallon tank.
· New 20-inch outlet with associated piping on the 400,000-gallon tank.
· New tank fill control valve station.
EXHIBIT "A" I
Page 5 of 6
The pump station improvements will allow the City to meet the peak hour demand of 13-
mgd for the year 2005; however, a third pump will be required to provide the additional
TCEQ-mandated pumping capacity. With other distribution system improvements, the two
pumps will meet peak flow demands up to and beyond the year 2010, and the three pumps
will provide sufficient capacity to meet the year 2015 estimated peak hour demand of 15.5
mgd. This capacity (15.5 mgd) is far greater than the current pump station capacity of 1.6
mgd. It is important to note that the pumps only represent pumping capacity, and that
supply capacity to the pumps must still be addressed with other projects such as pipeline
crossings, elevated storage, and ASR.
City forces have already made two (2) 20 inch taps into the existing 24 inch main on SPID,
and have laid a 24 inch line down Villa Mada Isabel road to the northwest comer of the
PIPS site. In addition, to help address pressure issues, City forces will be installing over
3,100 linear feet of 12 inch waterline in Park Road 22 ROW, beginning at Whitecap
Boulevard and ending near Medda Drive.
In order to expedite the construction schedule, City Engineering Services, Laughlin-
Thyssen, and the Consultant Engineering team coordinated the procurement of equipment
that required long delivery times. These items included the pump and motors, electrical
equipment, and piping. The total matedal authorized (verbally) to date is $630,774.
Through on-going negotiations with the Contractor, for an additional $175,000.00, the
entire pump station structure can be built (walls, roof, overhead crane). Completion of the
pump station will assist in dampening the noise produced by the new pumps.
Construction completion date is September 15, 2004 for all PIPS construction. However,
the goal is to have one pump operational by June 30, 2004. This will be accomplished by
using a temporary pump, motor, valves, piping, and controls at an additional cost of
$35,670. This temporary pumping system will be utilized until the proposed improvements
are complete.
This project will provide an improvement to pressures, but not supply to the island. This
pump station is designed to be used in conjunction with supply improvements; and it is the
first step in upgrading the island's water infrastructure.
FUNDING: Funds for this project are available from the FY 2003 - 2004 Water Capital
Improvement Budget.

FUTURE COUNCIL ACTION: Approval of required construction contract.
BACKGROUND: The Laguna Madre Wastewaster Treatment Plant serves the Flour
Bluff area of the City. Because Flour Bluff is a Iow-lying area with primarily sandy soils,
the majodty of the sanitary sewers are in wet conditions because of the high
groundwater table. Even dudng periods of negligible rainfall, tidal conditions can keep
the groundwater level high.
The majodty of the sanitary sewers in Flour Bluff are old and constructed using pipe
materials and joints that are no longer considered acceptable_ Therefore, groundwater
entem the pipe through joints and cracks in the pipe materials. Also, the manholes
were constructed using bdck and mortar. The mortar chemically reacts with the gases
created by the sewage and deteriorates, leaving openings in the manholes for additional
infiltration of groundwater.
EXHIBIT "A" I
Page 1 of 3
To formulate a long-range program for reducing the amount of infiltration, the City
contracted Goldston Engineering, Inc. Goldston Engineering, Inc_ has completed Stage
1 services of the contract. Stage 1 services allowed the consultant to isolate and
evaluate the sources of inflow and infiltration in three (3) phases as follows:
· Evaluation and Data Review Phase
· Sanitary Sewer Overflow Study and Analysis Phase
· Abatement Plan Phase
Amendment No. I allowed Goldston Engineering, Inc. to provide oversight and hire a
sub-consultant to perform closed circuit television (CCTV) inspections services. The
CCTV inspection consisted of intemal color television inspection of pipes on VHS format
tapes. Included with the tapes are inspection logs of the line segments televised. The
logs show the entire line segment, including all connections, defects, infiltration, roots,
grease, etc. The information collected through the CCTV inspection assist the
consultant in preparation of detailed plans and specifications for a proposed
construction project to remedy collection system deficiencies.
Amendment No. 2 allowed Goldston Engineering, Inc. to provide two (2) Parts (A and B)
Stage 2 services including Part A: Preliminary Phase, Design Phase, Bid Phase,
Construction Phase, and Part B: Data Review and Implementation Plan Update
services. A sequence of phased projects to rehabilitate, replace, and/or clean lines in
the problem areas will be developed in Part B. Remediation work as a result of both
parts of this amendment will be done to improve the capacity of lines within existing
wastewater collection systems in the Laguna Madre Service Area by
reducing/eliminating extra water from extraneous sources.
AMENDMENT NO. 3: Amendment No. 3 will allow Goldston Engineering, Inc. to
provide the following:
Sta.cle 2, Part C Sewer Rehabilitation Project - The City Wastewater Department
has identified several deficient collection system lines and manholes that require
replacement or rehabilitation including:
The force main from the Military Ddve Lift Station to the Laguna Madre
Wastewater Treatment Plant Lift Station along Jester Street. The existing line is
within the Jester Street ROW. A boring crossing will be required at the NAS
Ddve intersection.
2. The six manholes on the sewer line from Waldron Road to Cline Road shall be

FUTURE COUNCIL ACTION:
1. Approval of Amendment No. 2 for Basic Services to design, bid, construct the
Boat Ramp Roadway and Parking Lot associated with the North Side Park at
Packery Channel.
BACKGROUND: The Packer,/ Channel Project is a storm damage reduction and
environmental restoration project being performed by the United States Corps of
Engineers (USACE) Galveston Distdct in which the City of Corpus Chdsti is the local
sponsor. The project consists of a proposed channel between the Gulf Intracoastal
Waterway (GIVWV) and the Gulf of Mexico. The channel will provide matedal for beach
nourishment and backfill at the base of an existing floodwall and water exchange
between the Laguna Madre and the Gulf of Mexico. The City plans to request that the
USACE include the installation of the Reach 1 Boat Ramp undemeath Packery Channel
Contract and that the City will reimburse the USACE for 100% of the cost. The City
obtained partial funding ($500,000) through a grant (prepared by URS Corporation)
from Texas Parks and Wildlife State Boat Ramp Program. The proposed Ratification of
Amendment No. I is for the related design services for the Boat Ramp
The USACE will undertake the construction of the project as a modification to the
existing Packery Channel Contract. They will administer the construction contract of the
boat ramp only. Thus, plans and specifications will be developed in accordance with
the USACE Galveston District's format.
AMENDMENT NO. 1: Amendment No. I provides for the design of the boat ramp_
Dudng the progress of this phase of the work, URS Corporation completed the following
services:
Site Visits / Meetinqs for Review of Desian - The project required consultation /
coordination among the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), contractor,
and the City of Corpus Chdsti beyond what was anticipated. URS Corporation
attended two (2) site meetings in Corpus Chdsti to review and discuss the project
design and construction cost estimate with the vadous parties.
2. Additional Desiqn Elements - Throughout the design review process several
design elements were added or modified as follows:
Boat Ramp to accommodate sailboats. The initial proposal was to
accommodate a design vessel with a maximum draft of 4.0 feet. This
adjustment required modification of the boat ramp slope configuration to allow
for smaller power boats and sailboats.
Piles to accommodate light standards, which required a separate analysis
and design of pile for this loading condition.
EXHIBIT "A"
Page 3 of 4 I
· Inclusion of utility vaults at the beginning of the boat ramp, which required the
development of analysis and design of the systems.
· Increased sections and details, which required the number of design drawings
to be increased from three (3) to seven (7) drawings.
"Boat Ramp Structural Design" for documentation of the boat ramp design for
inclusion with USACE Design Documentation (DDR), which serves as the
design history / cdteda for the project.

Dea~ Mr, Escobar;
Enclosed are two (2) copies of the Plans, Specifications and Estimate fo[the above
zeferenced project for your information and files_ This project is curre~y scheduled for
the August 2004. The current estimate for this project exceeds the authorized funds that
were originally-set up for the project. The overran of the authorized funds is
approximately 8.887 % or $107359.50. The amount originally set up for the project was
$1,210,000.00, since this project is funded with MPO authorized allocations, approval
for the overrun needs to be authorized by the I~IP0. The original agreement had an
authorized funding amount of $1,100,000.00 which was later upped the current amount_
The original agreement escrow amount was based on the original funding authorized
amount, this also was a factor in the increased escrow amount needed prior to the opening
of bids. We have attached a copy of the revised Attachment C for this project for your
information and further handing for the increased escrow amount. The City of Corpus
Christi will need to add to the escrow account prior to opening of Bids with an additional
amount as noted on the revised attachment C for this project. If you have any questions
or need additional information concerning the request for the additional escrow amount,
please let us know.

Eduardo Garafia, P.E.
Director, Water Department
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
In 1981, the City requested the United States Geological Survey (USGS) to establish automated river
gauging stations to gather and maintain accurate records of all inflows and releases in the water
reservoir system. This was necessary to comply with Texas Water Rights Permit No. 3358, which
required that specified releases from the reservoir system be made to the bays and estuaries. The
initial joInt funding agreement was approved by the City Council in 1984, and it provides funds for
Geological Survey operations on the Nueces, Frio and Atascosa rivers and tributaries, and at Lake
Corpus Christi and Choke Canyon Reservoir.
The USGS maintains all equipment, i.e. stream flow stations, data collection platforms, ram gauges,
and analyzes the data gathered to provides gauge height readings, discharge readings, and reservoir
content information. The City funds a portion of the operational costs of the stream flow and full
service data collection platforms and the full cost of rain gauges and surface discharge gauges below
the two dams. The National Weather Service also uses the data collected to predict floods.
When fully implemented in 1984, the program included thirteen stations; additional stations have
been added since bringing the total to eighteen. Additional water quality mordtoring points have also
been added the last several years.
The costs of data collection platforms and stream flow stations are shared by the USGS and the City
of Corpus Christi, with the costs of other services borne entirely by the City. Funds are budgeted
each year in the Water Department operating budget for the City's share of the joint funding. Funds
are budgeted in the Wesley Scale Dam (530000-4010-30200) and Choke Canyon Reservoir
(530000-4010-30210) activities of the Water Fund for a total available of $188,425.

will run from front to back of the Center. Southwestern Bell Company (SBC) has an existing
underground telephone line that will have to be relocated at owner's expense. AEP has an
underground electrical line within one of the utility easements to be vacated but the owner will be
converting a portion of one of the existing 10-foot wide utility easements into a load beadng 5-foot
wide electrical easement for that underground line. None of the other city departJ-nents and
franchised utility companies had any facilities or objections to the drainage and utility easements
being vacated and abandoned.
Owner is to pay a fair market value fee of $ 32,910.00 (6,582 sq. ft. x $10.00 per/sq.ft .x 50%

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Current Situation:
The Fellowship of Oso Creek Church applied for a Building Permit to construct a church
on an existing platted 20 acre tract of Flour Bluff Encinal Farm and Garden Tract, Section
25, lot 14. The application for building permit and connection to City utilities triggered the
Master Channel 31 impact fee.
Evolution of the Master Plan Drainage Channel 31 Trust Fund:
In 1985, several landowners (participating owners), including the Corpus Christi School
Distdct (CCISD) began investing in the basic infrastructure necessary for development of
an area north of Yorktown Boulevard and east of Staples Street. Included in this area is
the Kaffie Middle School site. The water and wastewater trust funds, established by the
City in 1982, which are funded by the imposition of IotJacreage fees, were being used, as
they are today throughout the City, to pay for water and wastewater improvements which
serve the area. Development was hindered, as it is today without a similar system for
drainage costs in areas without a drainage outtall in place.
The interested owners (participating owners) implemented a plan for drainage of the area
by providing the initial funding for Drainage Channel No. 31, including acquisition of right-
of-way, excavation of the channel, construction of crossing structures under the existing
roadways (Rodd Field and Cimmaron Boulevard), erosion protection structures and other
incidental work. The City utilized its condemnation power to acquire two parcels of land
which could not be acquired by negotiation at the time.
In order to equitably distribute the costs among all properties in the tributary area, the
participating owners established an impact fee based upon the area of tract and the
distance runoff from the tract would utilize the drainage channel. The City's role in this
proposal is the collection of the impact fee from both Non-Participating Owners and
Participating Owners and disbursing the funds plus interest to the Trustee of the Funding
owners (CCISD, Harris & Charles Kaffie, and Mark Bratton).
The goveming Contract and Agreement was made and entered into between the Trustee
(Mark Bratton) and the City of Corpus Christi on December 31, 1985. An Amendment to
IExhibit A
Page 1 of 2
the Contract was authorized by City Council on February 18, 1997.
Prior Council Actions Associated with Master Plan Drainage Channel 3'1
Motion approving Offsite Drainage Development Contract with Mark Bratton, Trustee, providing
for acquisition of right of way, excavation of Drainage Channel No. 31, construction of related
structures, and establishment ora pro rata acreage plan for area served by Channe~ 31, and
City collection of the pro rata acreage fee upon platting, building permit issuance, or utility
service, and dispersing this pro rat fee plus interest to Trustee on December 31, 1985 (M85-
0597).
Resolution authorizing City Manager to take the necessary actions to establish Impact Fees for
the Master Plan Drainage Channel 31 improvements, scheduling a public hearing to receive
comment on the adoption of Land Use Assumptions, Capital Improvements Plan and Impact
Fees; appointing the Planning Commission as the Capital Improvements Advisory Committee
on November 26, 1996 (Res. #022773).
3. Motion amending Offsite Development Contract authorized December 31, 1985, between Mark
Bratton, Trustee, and the City of Corpus Chdsti to attribute actual costs, pro rata, to each ~'act
situated within Channel 31 Service Area calculated on an acreage and use basis with respect
to that portion of the cost of the project situated downstream of each particular ~act on February
18, 1997 (M98-046).
4. Ordinance adopting the Capital Improvements Plan and Impact Fees for Master Plan Drainage
Channel No. 31; amending the platting ordinance to include such fees; and amending Chapters
13 and 55 of the City Code to re[erence the Platting Ordinance Impact Fee provisions on Apdl
22, 1997 (Ord. #022913).
Iml~act Fee Collection Tri~cler Points: Impact fees are collected at one of the following three
tdgger points, whichever occurs first, within all or any podion of a tract situated ,~ithin Area 31:
1. recordation of a subdivision plat;
2. issuance of a building permit; or
3. connection to the Cites utility systems.
Disbursement of Impact Fees to the Trustee: The Offsite Drainage Development Contract
requires the immediate disbursement of impact fees to the Trustee upon receipt. As governed by
City Charter, Article IV, Section 5, such disbursement requires adoption of an ordinance
appropriating the funds by Council. Therefore, it is anticipated that payment to the Trustee will be
occurring no less than 30 days after receipt of funds from the developer.
Termination of Offslte Drainage Development Contract: The term of the Agreement approved
by Council on December 31, 1985 was for the lessor of 20 years or full development of the service
area. The 20-year mark will be December 31, 2005.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Current Situation:
The developers of Yorktown Crossing Unit 3 submitted the plat for approval by the
Planning Commission and triggered the Master Channel 31 impact fee.
Evolution of the Master Plan Drainaqe Channel 31 Trust Fund:
In 1985, several landowners (participating owners), including the Corpus Christi School
Disb'ict (CCISD) began investing in the basic infrastructure necessary for development of
an area north of Yorktown Boulevard and east of Staples Street. Included in this area is
the Kaffie Middle School site. The water and wastewater trust funds, established by the
City in 1982, which are funded by the imposition of lot/acreage fees, were being used, as
they are today throughout the City, to pay for water and wastewater improvements which
serve the area. Development was hindered, as it is today without a similar system for
drainage costs in areas without a drainage outfall in place.
The interested owners (participating owners) implemented a plan for drainage of the area
by providing the initial funding for Drainage Channel No 31, including acquisition of right-
of-way, excavation of the channel, construction of crossing structures under the existing
roadways (Rodd Field and Cimmaron Boulevard), erosion protection structures and other
incidental work. The City utilized its condemnation power to acquire two parcels of land
which could not be acquired by negotiation at the time.
In order to equitably distribute the costs among all properties in the tributary area, the
participating owners established an impact fee based upon the area of tract and the
distance runoff from the tract would utilize the drainage channel. The Ci[y's role in this
proposal is the collection of the impact fee from both Non-Participating Owners and
Participating Owners and disbursing the funds plus interest to the Trustee of the Funding
owners (CCISD, Harris & Chades Kaffie, and Mark Bratton).
The governing Contract and Agreement was made and entered into between the Trustee
(Mark Bratton) and the City of Corpus Christi on December 31, 1985. An Amendment to
the Contract was authorized by City Council on February 18, 1997.

AGENDA ITEM: AMENDING THE CODE OF ORDINANCES BY REVISING
SECTION 39-303, STANDARD CLASSIFICATIONS, PAY PLANS, PAY
GRADES, AND RANGES, AS AMENDED; REVISING SECTION 39-304,
CLASSIFIED SERVICE DEF1NED, TO ADD PAY PLAN 1000; REVISING

ISSUE:
Implementation of new Classifica tion/Compensation Plan, Phase III
The continuing goal for the City of Corpus Christi is to deliver high quality services
with fewer, more qualified, and better compensated employees. Effective July 26,
2004, it is proposed that (1) employees in all Pay Plan Structures in Section 39-303 of
the City' s Code of Ordinances, and (2) pay structure range minimums and maximums,
be concurrently granted a 3% pay increase. As in previous phases, implementation of
Phase III of the Classification/Compensation Plan movement toward market
competitiveness is based on funding identified in departmental budgets for FY 2004-
2005 through budget reductions and/or deletion of vacant positions. This increase, as
proposed, would apply to Council Appointed Positions unless otherwise directed by
the City Council. Phase III does not apply to Police and Fire Personnel covered by
collective bargaining agreements_
Attached is a summary of the ongoing progress made in the phased-in implementation
of the Classification and Compensation study and the status of development and
implementation of Skill-Based Pay (SBP) as a compensation system designed to
support reengineering efforts in City departments.
Proposed Revisions to Chapter 39 of the City Of Corpus Christi's Code of
Ordinances to Reflect Proposed Pay Increases and Revisions to Language
Each year a "housekeeping" Ordinance is prepared for the City Council to:
Revise Pay Plans in Code of Ordinances, Chapter 39, Personnel, Sec. 39-
303, Standard Classifications, Pay Grades, and Ranges, to reflect pay
increases, if any, and to include or exclude Council-Appointed positions, as
directed by the City Council;
Revise language in Code of Ordinances, Chapter 39, Personnel, if any, to
clarify, add, delete, or update administrative rules and provisions related to
compensation, classification, benefits, etc.
See Background Information Section for proposed revisions.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION:
Requesting the City Council to approve revisions to the City of Corpus Christi's Code
of Ordinances, as amended, Chapter 39, Personnel, for administration of the
Compensation & Classification Plan for FY 2004-2005.
FUNDING: The estimated cost for Phase 3 of the Compensation and Classification
Implementation Plan is $ 2,624,666 which has been incorporated into the City's budget
for FY 2004-2005. T hat includes $ 1,534,000 in the General Fund. Phase 3 is
proposed to be funded through budget reductions and elimination of vacant positions.
In addition, $ 230,000 has been budgeted in applicable funds for Skill-Based Pay
Programs.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION:
Competitive compensation and benefits package, re-engineering, and implementation
of Skill-Based Pay Systems are components that support the City of Corpus Christi's
continuing goal to deliver high quality services with fewer, more qualified, and better
compensated employees. It is recommended that the City Council approve the
proposed revisions to the Code of Ordinances, Chapter 39, Personnel, which support
this goal for FY 2004-2005_
Director of Human Resources
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Proposed Revisions To Chapter 39 of the City of Corpus
Christi's Code of Ordinances:
Revision of Code of Ordinances, Section 39-303, Standard
Classification, pay Grades, and Ranges, to provide for a concurrently
granted 3% general pay increase to eligible employees and pay plan
structures effective July 26, 2004, to include Council-Appointed
positions, unless otherwise excluded by the City Council, and to exclude
Police and Fire personnel covered by collective-bargaining agreements.
Add a new Section 39-303, Subsection J, Pay Plan 1000, to cover
positions focused on delivery of engineering services, except for those in
Pay Plan 400 (Executive). This action is taken to address labor market
competitiveness in the attraction and retention of highly skilled and
qualified applicants for Engineer and related positions.
Revise Section 39-304, Classified Service Defined, to add a new Pay
Plan 1000 (Engineers/Engineering Services) to the list of Pay Plans
exempted from the Classified Service (Municipal Civil Service Board
Rules and Regulations). Pay Plan 1000 includes all related position
titles except for those that fall in Pay Plan 400 (Executives).
Revise Section 39-309(a), Employee Coverage Under the City's Primary
Group Hospitalization Program For Ehgible Employees, to increase the
employee's monthly cost of health insurance from $21.66 to $31.68.
II.
Compensation and Classification Study in 2001-2002
In FY 2002-2003, the City of Corpus Christi successfully implemented the
Compensation & Classification Study conducted in FY 2001-2002 to meet
departmental business objectives, such as:
Replacing the City's aging, obsolete system;
Attracting and retaining qualified employees;
Supporting re-engineering efforts for the Depml~nents of Water,
Wastewater, Storm Water, Gas, Streets, Solid Waste Services, and
the Park Maintenance Division through development and
implementation of skill-based pay systems;
Providing solutions for citywide compensation issues such as,
internal equity of jobs within designated pay grade levels;
Designing competitive pay plans;
Providing the Council with an affordable phased-in implementation
plan that began last fiscal year and will continue in FY 2003-2004
with Phase 2 of the Plan;
The City of Corpus Ctmsti's goal is to reach 100% of competitive labor
market rate for like positions with a phased-in approach, as guided by
annual surveys, and stay even with market movement from year to year.
III. Phase I Implementation in FY 2002-2003
In FY 2002-2003, the new Compensation and Classification Plan was
implemented. Employees, excluding Police and Fire covered by collective
bargaining agreements, were transitioned into new pay plans_ Most
employees received a pay increase based on a pay range in each pay plan
that was adjusted to reflect a mid-point pay level that was approximately
90% of the competitive labor market rate. In the transition in FY 2002-
2003 of employees into the new Pay Plans, 86% of the implementation
dollars went to Non-exempt (overhme eligible) employees largely due to
bringing eligible employees up to the minimum of the new pay plan ranges.
Other employees received pay adjustments ranging from 1% to 2.3% based
on a combination of longevity and location of their pay in the new ranges at
time of transition.
IV. Phase II Implementation in FY 2003-2004
Effective July 28, 2003, all Pay Plan Structures in Sec. 39-303 of the City
of Corpus Christi's Code of Ordinances received a 3% increase to pay
range minimums and midpoints to adjust the sa-ucture from 90% to 93% of
market, and a 2% increase to maximums needed to maintain market at
100%. Employees in those Pay Plans were granted a 3% pay increase,
except for employees a t t he maximums o f t heir p ay ranges w ho shall
receive a 2% pay increase, the maximum percentage needed to bring their
pay to 100% of market_
Effective December 1, 2003, all Pay Plan Structures in Sec. 39-303
received a 2% increase to pay range minimums and midpoints to adjust the
slructure from 90% to 93% of market, and 0% increase to maximums that
were adjusted to 100% of market effective July 28, 2003_ Employees in
those Pay Plans were granted a 2% pay increase, except for employees who
had reached the maximums of their pay ranges and had been at 100% of
market since July 28, 2003.
V. Phase III Implementation in FY 2004-2005
Effective July 26, 2004, it is proposed that a 3% pay increase be
concurrently implemented as follows:
(1) granted to employees assigned to Pay Plan Structures in
Section 39-303 of the City's Code of Ordinances, and
(2) granted to minimums and maximums of pay slructure ranges to
all Pay Plans in Section 39-303_
This increase, as proposed, would apply to Council Appointed Positions
unless otherwise directed by the City Council. Phase HI does not apply
to Police and Fire Personnel covered by collective bargaining
agreements.
The phased-in implementation plan designed by Waters Consulting
Group, Inc. in 2002 suggested an annual two-partpay adjustment of 5%
in Phases II through IV subject to annual review of economic conditions
and the City's ability to fund the increases
Part I of the adjustment proposed an annual 3% general increase in 5
phases to incumbents' pay to move their actual salaries closer to market
competitiveness; and (2) Part H provided for an annual adjustment of
approximately 2% per year concurrently granted to pay plan snmctures to
maintain competitiveness of the City of Corpus Christi's Pay Plans.
In the 12 months ended December 2003, the Consumer Price Index (CPI)
for all Urban Consumers rose by 1.9%. In thefirst three months of 2004,
there has been a 5.1% increase in CPI with medical care, food,
transportation, and energy commodities and services (including gasoline
and other oil products) leading the increase. The 3% increase proposed
for July 26, 2004, will address market movement in the City's pay
structures while leaving 1.1% movement in incumbents' pay from 93 % in
FY 2003-2004 to 94.1% in FY 2004-2005.
VI. Other Issues with Pay and Benefits in FY 2004-2005
City employees will receive a 1% reduction in take-home pay effective
January 1,2005, when the TMRS' employee contribution increases from
5% to 6% to be in compliance with the contract between the City of
Corpus Christi and the Police Collective Bargaining Unit. While this 1%
contribution rate increase will enhance the employees' long-term
retirement benefits with TMRS, in the short term it is a reduction in net
take-home pay. Upon adoption of this enhancement to TMRS benefits
for all employees eligible for TMRS, except for Firefighters who have a
separate retirement system, communication with employees will begin in
August 2 004 to prepare them for the decrease in net take-home pay
effective January 1, 2005. In addition, City insurance premiums will
increase in August 2004 as the City of Corpus Christi, like employers'
nationwide, continue to battle rising medical and prescription drug costs.
VII. Status of Skill-Based Pay Development and Implementation
in FY 2003-2004:
A. Pilot Project for Skill-Based Pay (SBP) for Water Production
Technician (O. N. Stevens Water Plant) and Wastewater Treatment
Technician (Wastewater Treatment Plants)
Skill-Based Pay Programs support reengineering and the development of
multi-skilled workers through rewarding employees who continuously
learn and acquire increasingly complex core skills required for a
department to meet its business objectives.
The Skill-Based Pay (SBP) Pilot Project for Water Production Technician
(O. N. Stevens Water Plant) and Wastewater Treatment Technician (all
Wastewater Treatment Plants) was implemented on August 11, 2003.
This Pilot effort provided opportunities to work through problems and
issues t o successfully implement and track employees' development.
Approximately 90% of SBP training is received on the job.
Skill-Based Pay programs reward employees with compensation based on
attainment of core skills instead of position titles h eld. This type o f
compensation program supports re-engineering through development of
highly skilled workers to operate complex facilities, such as the O.N.
Stevens Water Plant and the multiple Wastewater Plants in Corpus
Christi. Employee compensation is based on attainment of proficiency on
sets of skills and meeting other pay advancement criteria, e.g. "Meets
Expectations" Performance Evaluation and no disciplinary actions in
specified time period. Pay advancements are automatic upon the
employee completing all requirements.
The Work Management System (MAXIMO) used b y t he Water a nd
Wastewater Departments is being interfaced with the PeopleSoft Training
Module in the City's Human Resources/Payroll System. Work
Coordinators (supervisors), Planner/Schedulers, and Skill-Based Pay
Coordinators work closely with employees and each other to ensure that
training opportunities on required skills will be available. Computerized
reports that track on-the-job training progress through Work Orders will
facilitate administration of the Skill-Based Pay Program_
The City of Corpus Chfisti's Skill-Based Pay Programs provide career
opportunities for local high school or GED graduates to enter a career
path, such as a Water Production Technician, Wastewater Treatment
Plant Technician, or other titles that will result from continuation of skill-
based pay development_ Skill-Based Pay offers competitive wages for
being multi-skilled in a complex area of City operations. In addition, the
City's Pilot Skill-Based Pay System provides for hiring applicants above
minimum of the range with demonstrated skills and a valid TCEQ license
to operate a Water Production Plant or Wastewater Treatment Plant since
skill proficiency determines compensation in a skill-based compensation
plan.
B. Metro-Com Technician (Police/Fire/EMS Dispatchers) Implemented
Effective April 19, 2004
With the pay check of April 19, 2004, the City of Corpus Christi's
Police/Fire/EMS Dispatchers were transitioned from their existing
Pay Plan into SBP with the new title of Metro-Com Technician.
C. SBP for Water Distribution and Supply and Wastewater Collections,
Implementation Scheduled Effective July 26, 2004
City staff is working to meet the deadline for transition of Water
Distribution and Supply employees and Wastewater Collection
employees into Skill-Based Pay. Employees transitioned from
their existing Pay Plans into the SBP Plan will see the changes in
their pay checks of July 16, 2004.
D. Planned SBP Implementations in FY 2004-2005
Skill-Based Pay Systems for the Stomtwater and Gas Depa~ hnents are
currently being developed with implementation anticipated in
February 2005. Other Depa~ tments scheduled for SBP in FY 2004-
2005 and FY2005o2006 include: Facility Maintenance; Park
Maintenance; Streets and Solid Waste Services.

BACKGROUNDINFORMATION
The South Central Area Development Plan (SCADP)was amended on February 17,
2004. The amendment included a requirement to provide neighborhood
parks/activities (highest priority) and create incentives for promoting development
of new tourist oriented uses along the Bayfront.
As a result of this requirement in the Plan, a design team was contracted in
December 2003 for development of a Bayfront Master Plan. The design team
includes: Gignac & Associates-Raymond Gignac; Sasaki Associates-Alan Ward;
Thompson, Ventulett, Stainback and Associates ('l-VS)-Kevin Gordon; and
Arquitectonica (ARQ)-Bernardo Fort-Brescia.
In February 2004, a Bayfront Questionnaire was put out to solicit input from
interested groups and citizens, and five public meetings were held. A design
charrette was held in March 2004. In April 2004, a presentation of preliminary
concepts/options was presented to the City Council, and three public meetings were
held. From April thru June 2004, six presentations were made to interested groups
on the recommended Option #-4. On June 29, 2004, presentation of the detailed
plan (Option #-4) was presented to City Council. During June-July 2004, fifteen
public meetings were held to receive input.
The Bayfront Master Plan was presented for review, comment and endorsement to
the Park and Recreation Advisory Committee, Water Shore Advisory Committee,
and Transportation Advisory Committee. On July 14, 2004, the Planning
Commission conducted a public hearing on the Bayfront Master Plan and
recommended City Council adoption of an amendment to the South Central Area
Development Plan.

The following policy statement and figures implement Policy Statement E.1 in the
Public Services Section and should be added to the Plan Implementation Section as
follows:
BAYFRONT MASTER PLAN
POLICY STATEMENT G.3
The City, after conducting a communitywide planning process, determined the most
acceptable manner in which to create a Bayfront park is by realigning Shoreline
Boulevard and the available public space to provide a variety of parallel park
settings along Shoreline Boulevard as illustrated on Figures 7 thru 1 1, Bayfront Park
Concept Plans. The Bayfront Master Plan, an amendment to the South Central Area
Development Plan (SCADP), is consistent with the adopted plan policies which state that
the highest priority are activities that benefit citizens and take advantage of the Bayfront's
unique natural amenities, including wind, water, and climate. The SCADP also
recommends that the City promote economically viable incentives for development of new
toudst oriented uses on private property fronting Shoreline Boulevard
Currently, Shoreline Boulevard is a formidable barrier to pedestrians attempting to cross
the six travel lanes and 80 foot median, especially during time of large festival events, [o
enjoy waterfront activities. In addition, large festival events either block through traffic
along Shoreline Boulevard or reduce the City's ability to operate large convention and
arena events. The Concept Plan for a Bayfront Park provides the basis for more detailed
design studies, specific cost estimates and capital improvement funding/timing
The "Bayfront Master Plan" identifies several objectives for future consideraLion and
implementation. The specific concepts for realignment of Shoreline focuses on four areas:
North Bayfront Park-area north of IH37;
South Bayfront Memorial Park-area between Buford Street and [he "L" Head";
Shoreline Waterfront Drive and neighborhood parks-the area encompassing Shoreline
Boulevard abutting the Marina; and
Enhanced Marina-facilities for boaters & public and expanded breakwater
The concepts recommended in the Bayfront Master Plan include:
Variations in green space and the relationship of the automobile to the waters edge
Arrival feature at shoreline and IH 37
Small scale commercial elements and green spaces
Flexibility and multi use capabilities of green spaces
True pedestrian connections to the water of the North and South parks

ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
BACKGROUND:
The City of Corpus Christi, is requesting the vacation and abandonment of a 7,000-square foot
portion (50-foot wide x 140-feet long) of the Teresa Street public right-of-way, out of the Sunflower
Addition No. 2 Subdivision. The 50-foot wide street dght-.of-vcay extends 140 L.F. west of the Evelyn
Street to a dead-end. The public right-of-way to be abandoned and vacated is located in a "R-lB"
One Family Dwelling District.
The public right-of-way is proposed to be vacated and abandoned since it is not used as a public
street. It was also determined that by abandoning the portion of public dght..of-way, it would alleviate
cost of public maintenance in the immediate area.
Ati public and franchised utilities were contacted regarding the vacating and abandonment request
and no objections were received. Engineering Services is requiring that the property ownem
adjacent to this portion o[ the Teresa Street public right-of-way construct two (2) 10-foot wide
driveways at owner's expense, in exchange for the City replatflng both preperties at the City's
expense. The City Wastewater, Water, and Gas Deparb'nents are requiring that the entire 50-foot
wide street right-of-way be retained as a utility easement so that the existing utilities they all have
located in the rear easement will not be isolated and be accessible through the 50-foot utility
easement. AEP, had no objections to the closure but will seek reimbursement if adjustments to their
facilities become necessary.
Staff recommends that payment of the fair market value be waived since the City is initiating the
vacation and abandonment. The adjacent preperty owners have been advised of and concur with
the conditions of the street right-of-way abandonment.

Case No. 0504-06 (Paul Lisec)
Page 3
The "RE" District provides for low-density residential development neay the APZ 2 area of
Waldron Field.
City staffheld two meetings with the applicant's engineer and surrounding property owners in an
effort to resolve these issues. The section ofFlou~ BluffDrive in question extends from
Yorktown Blvd. to the south. The first meeting was held on Monday, June 7, 2004 with the
applicant's engineer, adjacent property owners, and Staff. A second meeting was held on
Wednesday, June 9, 2004 with the applicant's engineer, adjacent owners, and their attorney.
The west side property owner consivacted his own roadway along the west half of the Flour Bluff
Drive right-of-way to access his property at the rear and hired the services of Urban Engineering.
He raised the drainage issue because of impact to the integrity of the paved section he constructed
on the road accessing his property. The deteriorated condition of the road was also attributable to
the dump trucks used in the sand excavation/fill by the east side property owner located south of
applicant's property. The existing condition of the road pavement section is resulting in
difficulty of access by a passenger car with low clearance.
The east side property owner located south of the applicant's property know that a permit is
required to fill and rezoning is required to excavate and are in agreement to repair the road. The
road repair has not been agreed to. Urban Engineering was only involved in the pm~fitting of the
road and not consi~uction or inspection. The pavement section constructed was not necessarily
what the City required to permit the road consWaction. Inspection of the materials and
construction of the road did not occur.
The same east side property owner also needs to gain access to their property to the rear but do
not want to continue to use the road constructed by the west side property owner due to neighbor
disagreement. They asked that a fence obstructing access to the east half of the Flour BluffDrive
right of way be removed. The removal of the fence is also an issue to be resolved. Agreement
was nol reached. An existing Texas Crode Energy Co. pipeline within the Flour BluffDrive
right of way is another consideration for the Welps if a parallel road is constructed within the east
half of Flour Bluff Drive.
~q~e applicant's property has agreed to install a culvert across the internal road access that will
direct overflows to the east a~vay from the Flour BluffDrive right of way.
The issue of how the road is to be repaired has not been finalized. City staffwill review and
propose a repair solution and will schedule future meetings to reach agreement on how to repair
the road and remove the fence

REQUEST: Change of zoning from "F-R" Farm Rural District to "RE" Residential Eslates Dis~ct
resulting in a land use change from agriculture to low-density residential.
Mr. Saldafia provided graphics of the subject property and the surrounding area. The zoning
reporl and rope recording are on file. He stated that there were 4 notices mailed. None were received in
favor and or in opposition.
Vice Chairman Mims opened the public heanng.
Mr. John Fina gen, 514 Valene, former owner of 4101 Flour Bluff Drive came forward and stated
that he called to contest this zoning change. He lives behind the subject property. He complained that the
applicant dug two ponds and piled dirt up against his fence. The water from the ponds is on his easement
and the applicant does nothing about it. Mr. Finagen had photos of this. He is against the applicant doing
anything on the property.
Mr. Paul Lisec, 1325 Yorktown, stated that his intention was to fill in the low spots with sand he
dug out fi.om his ponds to relieve flooding in areas. He stated that Mr. Finagen started a sand mining
operation which he did not have a permit for. He spoke with Mark Scott who had received other
complaints regarding Mr. Finagen. Mr. Lisec stated that he piled sand close to Mr. Finagen's fence and
allowed grass to grow on it to create a berm because the fence was unsightly. He is trying to sell two
parcels of his land. He would like to rezone the dr/vexvay and one acre and leave the rest as metes and
bounds.
Mr. Jack Solovey, 220 Pearl Place, stated that he owns 80 acres adjacent to the subject property.
He filed in opposition and stated that Mr. Lisec has been changing topography which caused rotting of
roadways that were the only access to his 80 acres.
Mr. Richard Welp, 4220 Ryan had been dealing with Ms. Bailey regarding this property. He
addressed access issues to the property and the roads. He would like some kind of dedicated roadway.
Mr. Solovcy stated that Mr. Lisec did put in a pond and pumped water. There was no
requirement to put in culvert on Flour B]uffDrive. He had an agreement with Angel Escobar which was
followed through with Urban Engineering. The road never flooded before Mr. Lisec started mo',nng dirt.
Moving dirt caused pooling on Flour Bluff Drive. Drainage is important for access.
The public hearing was closed.
Ms. Bailey stated that there were ongoing code enforcement problems in that area. There has
been Code Enforcement action on unauthorized mining. We will bring engineering in on this case. She
also suggested getting answers to the issues before making a decision
Vice Chairman Mims asked for a motion to table the case. Mr. Pusley stated that the issues and
flooding that were addressed not come under the Planning Commissions jurisdiction and asked Mr.
Saldafla to clarify this.
Mr. Saldafia stated that a plat would be required along with a stormwater quality management
plan from which a hydrologic engineer would study the impacts of adjacent right-of-ways, tracts, and
drainage systems.

Ms. Bailey stated that if we made a decision tod,ay, it would be pre-dispose the plat. It would be
best to wait two weeks. There are a lot of issues with both zoning and platting.
Mr. Michael Gunning, Assistant Director of Develop~nent Services stated that zoning is the area
that we have the most leverage on. Once rezoned, you would have to accept any plat that was submitted
that met plat requirements.

Excerpts from Zoning Report
Area Development Plan: Flour Bluff- The future land use map recommends the north portion of the
subject property to develop as neighborhood business with the remaining portion as low-density
residential. An amendment to the future land use map along the north portion of the subject property is
required.
Legal Description/Location: Being 1. 621 acres out of Flour Bluff and Encinal Farm and Garden Tracts,
Section 51, Lot 17, located south of Yorlctown Road and 250feet east of Flour Bluff Drive.
Staff Recommendation: Approval of the "RE" Residential Estates District
Mrs. Faryce-Goode Macon, City Planner provided graphics of the subject property and the
surrounding area. The zoning report and tape recording are on file. She st~ted that there were four
notices mailed. None were received in favor or in opposition.
Mrs. Goode Macon stated that this case was tabled on June 2 to give additional time to resolve
issues with adjoining property owners regarding access to then properties and drainage. Staffhad two
meetings, one with Urban Engineering, Mr. Lisec, and Mr. and Mrs. Welp, and the other with Urban
Engineering, Mr. and Mrs. Welp, and Mr. and Mrs. Solovey and their attorney. These issues are still not
resolved.
Vice Chairman Mims opened the public hearing.
Commissioner Stone asked to be reminded why we tabled the case on June 2, 2004. Mrs. Goode
Macon explained the above issues.
Mr. Murray Hudson, 2725 Sxvantner, came forward to further explain the situation. He showed a
20-acre tract that was preliminary planned at the last meeting and the 1.6 acres wanted to re-zone. There
were three complaints at the last meeting. Mr. Solovey owns 80 acres and had an agreement with the City
in 2000 to construct a road from his property in the Flour Bluffright-of-way out to Yorktown. He is by
agreement responsible for any maintenance. He had concerns about damage to the road caused by the
Welps, another property owner, who had used the road for their hauling operation, assuming it was a
public road. This issue is in the process of being resolved. The Solovey's also had conflict with another
property owner who had dug a lake, and believed that this had impact on the condition of the road as well.
Urban Engineering conducted surveys and did not believe that digging the lake had any impact at all, but
Mr. Solovey was not satisfied with the survey results. The applicant has agreed to install a culvert in his
driveway if needed.
Mary Frances Teniente, Assistant Director of Development Services stated that Mr. Solovey had
written a letter dated June 10, 2004 voicing his opposition. Stuff reply stated that he would have to
adhere to the original road agreement. Staffhas asked Mr. Hudson to address the drainage issues that Mr.
Solovey raised.

PRIOR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION: None
FUTURE COUNCIL ACTION: Nothing anticipated.
PROJECT BACKGROUND:
Wastewater entering the Allison Wastewater Treatment Plant varies widely in composition
and strength and increased flows are periodically greater than what the plant was originally
designed for. The plant was originally constructed in 1965 at a capacity of 2.0 million
gallons daily (MGD) and in 1984 the plant was expanded to an average daily flow capacity
of 5 MGD. Higher than acceptable level of plant upsets and permit violations have
occurred in the past. In October 2001, a report was completed that:
· evaluate the plants historical influent data,
· resolve operational issues,
· optimize operations,
· improve treatment reliability, and
· evaluate space requirements for future expansion.
EXHIBIT "A"
Page 1 of 2
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The existing Allison Wastewater Treatment Plant will be modified and improved to address
deteriorating operational issues and the wide range of solids loading the plant encounters.
Improvement to be constructed at this time to address and resolve the issues noted above
include:
1. Odor Control System: At the existing plant lift station a new odor control unit will
be installed to reduce potential odor problems. A new blower facility will be
constructed to remove air from the plant lift station and transport the air via pipeline
to a new odor control unit for treatment.
2. Air System Piping Replacement: Buried and leaking existing air piping will be
replaced with new above ground stainless steel air piping. This will reduce air losses
in the system and result in energy savings for the plant.
3. Dewatering Building Improvements: To improve sludge dewatering capabilities,
two existing 1984 belt presses will be replaced with new larger presses (2 meter belt
width) and the existing washwater and polymer system will be upgraded for the new
dewatedng system. Building improvements will provide for a new climate controlled
office/control room.
4. New Automatic Backwash Filter: A new automatic backwash filter will be
constructed between the existing Final Clarifiers and Chlorine Contact Chamber.
This will improve treatment reliability, reduce disinfection chemical costs and reduce
maintenance on downstream equipment.
It is recommended that future plant expansion to 7.5 MGD should be under construction by
Fiscal Year 2013.
BID INFORMATION: The project consists solely of one base bid. The City received
proposals from five (5) bidders on June 16, 2004. (See Exhibit "C" Bid Tabulation) The
bids ranged from $2,503,447 to $3,591,400. The Engineer's estimated construction cost
for the project is $2,767,830.
The City's engineering consultant, Urban Engineering, and City staff recommend that
based on Iow bid past satisfactory experience with City projects, that a construction
contract be awarded to R.S. Black Civil Contractors Inc./Machinery and Materials, Inc., a
joint venture of Corpus Christi, Texas in the amount of $2,503,447 for the Allison
Wastewater Treatment Plant Rehabilitation and Other Improvements.
CONTRACT TERMS: The contract specifies that the project will be completed in 360
calendar days, with completion anticipated by September 2005.
FUNDING: Funds for this project are available from FY 2003-2004 Wastewater Capital
Improvement Program Budget.

President Kinnison called the meeting to order in the Council Chambers of City Hall_
Secretary Chapa verified that a quorum was present to conduct the meeting and that notice of the
meeting had been properly posted.
President Kinnison opened discussion on Item 3, election of officers. Mr. Neal made a
motion, seconded by Mr. Colmenero, to appoint the following slate of officers: General Manager -
George K. Noe; Secretary - Armando Chapa; Assistant Secretary - Mary Juarez; Treasurer - Cindy
O'Brien; and Assistant Treasurer - Constance P. Sanchez. The motion passed unanimously. A
motion was made, seconded and passed to reappoint Mr. Kinnison as President and Mr. Colmenero
as Vice-President.
President Kinnison opened discussion on Item 4, the approval of the minutes of the February
10, 2004 meeting. Mr. Colmenero made a motion to accept the minutes as presented, seconded by
Mr. Chesney, and passed unanimously.
President Kirmison then asked for the financial report. General Manager Noe referred to two
reports, a combined balance sheet and a combined statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes
in fund balances through May 31, 2004. There were no questions.
President Kinnison asked for the General Manager's Annual Report. General Manager Noe
reported that the corporation was initially intended to simply provide a vehicle for the city's single
family rehabilitation program. He said, however, that over the years the Corporation has taken a
much broader role in not only handling CDBG funds, but also HOME funds, certain ESG funds, and
special CDBG projects for the city. He stated that the CCCIC has also undertaken a number of other
community improvement programs which are all satisfactorily accomplished or moving forward,
citing the completion renovation of the old Police Department facility into a leased facility for the
Workforce Development Corporation as an example.
Mr. Scott asked for more information on the reserved fund balance for the Kids in the
Neighborhood project totaling $131,111. Treasurer Cindy O'Brien replied that the monies were
from the equity in a building for the project.

Request for Annual Meeting of the Corpus Christi Community Improvement
Corporation (CCCIC) on July 20, 2004
I am requesting that the annual meeting of the Corpus Christi Community Improvement
Corporation (CCCIC) be held during the Council meeting of July 20, 2004 to consider the
following items:
Consideration of funding from HOME Program in the amount of $67,320 for
installation of hard wire smoke detectors at the TG303, Inc. AKA Casa de MaNana
Apartments, 4702 Old Brownsville Road: On February 10, 2004, the CCCIC took action
on four HOME program proposals that were submitted to Neighborhood Services
Department for funding consideration. $90,250 remains as uncommitted as part of this
action. The weekend prior to the CCCIC meeting in February 2004, the Casa de Mar~ana
apartments located at 4702 Old Brownsville were involved in a fire that damaged several
rental units. As a result, TG303, Inc. AKA Casa de Manana Apartments are requesting
$67,320 for the installation of hard wire smoke detectors. Below is the proposed calculation
for the scope of work.

If CCClC approves this CHDO grant funding request, we would amend the current executed
contract to include the additional $67,320 for the purchase and installation of hard wire smoke
detectors. Total amended amount funded would be $367,320. TG303, Inc. would be required
to comply with the HOME Program rule that states that 90% of the units will not exceed 60%
($27,420 for four persons) of Area Median Income.
