Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
September 14, 2004 - Page 2
Mayor Neal referred to the presentations on the day's agenda. He deviated fi-om the agenda
and referred to Item 4, a presentation on the humcane evacuation lane on 1-37. TxDOT District
Engineer Craig Clark introduced Mr_ Ismael Soto, director of transportation operations, to report on
TxDOTs progress on hurricane planning and evacuation in the area. Although TxlX)T was working
to improve the hurricane evacuation process on 1-37, Mr. Soto emphasized that the use of alternate
routes and the need for citizens to develop individual evacuation plans were high priorities.
Mr. Soto reviewed the evacuation issues learned fi'om previous humcane events. Three areas
were especially susceptible to congestion as follows: the IFK causeway, the SH 358/1-37
interchange, and the 1-37/US 77 interchange. He said the greatest traffic congestion was
experienced in the latter intersection, 1-37/US 77 interchange in the Calallen area.
Mr. Soto discussed the various improvements made to each of the areas. Regarding the JFK
causeway, he said an elevated section of the causeway was opened in August 2004_ A four-lane
divided roadway was scheduled for completion in October or November 2004. Finally, he said the
entire project was estimated for completion in November or December 2004.
With regard to the SH 358 (South Padre Island Drive) and 1-37 area, Mr. Soto reported on
several improvements. First, he said the one-lane connector ramp in that area had been converted
into a two-lane connector ramp to address congestion problems. He said TxDOT had also milled
the surface of this roadway to provide better traction in wet weather. Second, he said a
$1,604,860.72 contract was awarded to Bay, Ltd_ to rebuild the Lantana Street overpass and re-work
the S.P.I.D_ to northbound 1-37 connector to support two lanes. The work was scheduled to begin
after hurricane season_ Third, he discussed progress on the plan to reduce the shoulders ofi-37 to
create an additional hurricane evacuation lane. The plan was comprised of two projects as follows:
an urban section approximately 18 miles long and a rural section approximately 51.5 miles long.
He reported the northbound urban section was substantially complete and ready for use, and the rural
section was close to completion. He said both projects were scheduled for completion this year.
He noted the rural section of the project began at the 1-37 / US 77 interchange, and would convert
the shoulder into a third evacuation lane until State Highway 72, north of Three Rivers. Mr. Soto
stated that TxDOT would need 24 days notice to implement the necessary re-striping and signage
for the project.
Mr. Scott questioned whether the city would be able to provide TxDOT with three days
notice before a hurricane event for lane re-striping and roadway signage_ Mr. Soto replied that
advances in hurricane forecasting made this type of notice possible. He also said TxDOT had
redesigned the plan for a quicker response time.
Mr. Soto reported on signage improvements for the rural evacuation lane. He said they
designed a standard sign with a plaque on the bottom right that can be changed quickly.
Mr. Soto discussed the plan to txansition the hurricane evacuation lane back into a shoulder.
He said the plan was to transition the roadway at State Highway 72, allowing citizens to take the
following alternate routes: continue northeast on Hwy. 72 to Kames City; take S.H. 183 to the
Austin/San Marcos area; or take Hwy. 16 at Three Rivers to San Antonio. In addition, he said
TxDOT was In the process of implementing a new lane configuration to extend the limits of Hwy
72, and the San Antonio district in turn was working on intersecting this roadway to Hwy. 281 to
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
September 14, 2004 - Page 3
Pleasanton. He stated that Hwy. 281 was a good route that could better handle the large capacity
traff}c into San Amonio. He anticipated that the plan would be implemented by next year~
Mr. Soto also reported that 1-37 has been resurfaced with a new type of pavement called a
"porous fi-iction course". The porous friction course served to reduce spray fi-om vehicles and
improve ~'action in wet weather by making the rain flow through the pavement instead of over the
surface of the pavement.
In conclusion, Mr. Soto reminded the Council and the citizens there were alternate
evacuation routes that were not being fully utilized as follows: US 77 to US 183; FM 624 to SH 16;
SH 44 to Laredo; FM 43 to FM 665 to SH 44; and FM 70 to SH 44. He said even with all the
hurricane evacuation route improvements to I-37, it would still be subject to congestion under heavy
usage. He recommended that citizens work on their individual evacuation plans (e.g. to do list, pack
provisions, alternate routes) now so they would be prepared to leave early in case of a hurricane
evacuation. He said TxDOT, in conjunction with the city, had prepared brochures and maps
delineating the alternate evacuation routes for the public_ In addition, he said TxDOT would provide
up-to-date roadway information to the public during a hurricane evacuation event at their toll-fi'ce
number (1-800-452-9292) or on their website (www.dot.state.tx.us/road conditions).
Mr. Kelly acknowledged the new surface on 1-37 was extraordinary during wet weather
conditions. He noted a dramatic difference in performance, however, where there were gaps
between the old pavement and the new pavement. He asked when the gaps would be close& Mr.
Clark replied TxDOT was in the process of filling the gaps now.
Mayor Neal referred to Item 3, a briefing by the South Texas Military Facilities Task Force.
Mr_ Steve "Spike" Karlakeas reported on their efforts to keep the area's military facilities open
during the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process. Using a baseball analogy, Mr.
Karlakeas said the area was now in the seventh inning of a nine inning game. He said the
Depastment of Defense's base closure process was moving forward quickly. Under the law, the
DOD was required to disclose a list of proposed closures and realignments by May 16, 2005. He
said, however, they had received a number of reports indicating that the DOD was accelerating the
process and may complete its work by early next year. He said the task force was working on this
assumption.
Mr. Karlakeas stated Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld wished to close 25 percent of the
installations in the United States, a.mouating to approximately 100 more bases. He said this BRAC
would probably be the last round in our lifetime.
Mr. Karlakeas thanked the city and the surrounding counties for their financial support of
the military task force. He said now that the effort was in the eleventh hour, the task force needed
additional reinforcements to strengthen their efforts_ First, they needed representation fi-om the
senior leadership in the navy. Second, they needed a mine warfare expert to help further the region's
case. He introduced Admiral Paul Ryan, the former commander of the city's Naval Air Station, who
they have retained to provide the expertise. He also introduced Admiral Al Konet~ni, recently
retired fi-om the navy, who they have retained as well. Admiral Konetzni stated he thought having
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
September 14, 2004 - Page 4
a center of excellence in mine warfare in Ingleside, TX was of utmost importance to national
security. He also though~ that if the tngleside facility was closed, the coantry wtmld have to wait
for another facility to open, creating a great security risk. In conclusion, he was convinced keeping
the military installations in the area open was well worth the fight.
Mayor Neal referred to Item 5, the quarterly update from Work-Force 1. City Manager Noe
introduced Mr. Oscar Martinez, noting that this would be his last time representing Work-Force 1
since he has was joimng city staff as an assistant city manager next month. Mr. Martinez stated
Work-Force 1 Chairperson Irma Caballero was scheduled to give today's presentation, but was
unable to attend, so he was making the presentation in her absence.
Mr. Martinez stated the beard was looking at the selection of a new CEO as an opporttmity
to seek an individual who would use a business model approach, had knowledge of the workforce
system, had local relationships in the community, and add a business process and design to the
organization.
Mr. Martinez also reported on the new direction of the beard itself. He said the board was
moving its focus from administrative and operational issues, and instead focusing on strategic issues
affecting workforce services and economic development. Toward this end, he said the board would
look at strategic partnerships to make its hmited resources go further, and to pursue grantwriting
opportunities to better target the needs of the community beyond the limits of the usual workforce
funding. In addition, the board desired to create more community involvement and development,
and create a better relationship with economic development organizations in the area_
Mr. Martinez announced Work-Force I would host an economic development panel
discussion for next week to inform economic development corporations in the region on the business
needs in the area_ He said they would also share the results of the regional cluster analysis study
performed by Dr. Jim Lee of Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. He said the study would
promote understanding which industries were particular drivers of the region's economy to ensure
that Work-Force 1 services were positioned to support them. In addition, he said Work-Force 1 was
working on city and county data to share with local elected officials and others to gauge whether
they were truly responding to the needs of the community. In conclusion, Mr. Martinez thanked the
board and the Work-Force 1 system for their support, and thanked for the opportunity to be of
service.
Mr_ Martinez introduced Ms_ Deborah Arnold, Work-Force 1 Director of Planning, to report
on the industry cluster analysis study. Ms. Arnold stated the purpose of the cluster analysis was to
obtain a better understanding of the industry composition within the entire 12-county work:force
region.
Ms_ Arnold defined industry clusters as "engines" of an economy, driving its prosperity. She
said the five industries identified in the coastal bend area were as follows: petrochemical, health
care, hospitality, construction, and education. She displayed a graph showing how the five industry
clusters performed.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
September 14, 2004 - Page 5
Ms. Arnold reviewed the strengths and weaknesses of each cluster. Regarding the
petrochemical induslry cluster, sl~ said their ~a'engths were as follows: expm't--oriented industries;
occupations with high wages and skills; location advantages, including geographic concentration,
infrastructure support, and proximity to the Port and Houston. The weaknesses were as follows:
declining employment trends; sensitive to oil price movement; and possible environmental impacts.
With regards to the construction cluster, its strengths were relatively high wages and a mix
of occupational skills. The weaknesses were that they were non-export oriented industries and their
sensitivity to regional economic conditions.
The strengths of the health care cluster was character/zed as follows: well-established
facilities; large numbers of occupations with high wages and skills; served the needs of retirement
communities and aging population; enhanced the community's quality of life; and the presence of
a nursing school and other medical workforce training facilities in the area. The weaknesses of the
health care industry cluster were competition with medical centers in Houston and San Antonio, and
a lack of training progiams for physicians_
The strengths of the education cluster were as follows: complementary to other industries
and growing workforce training progr~.ms at regional universities. The weaknesses were their
reliance on public funding and that they were non-export oriented industries. She noted that tiffs
category typically included government entities, but government was excluded fi.om this particular
study due to a coding issue. She said the size of the employment in this industry was second only
to the Corpus Christi Army Depot. In addition, she said this industry cluster was noteworthy
because it could address the problems with educational attainment in the community which affect
wages and income earnings for the community.
Regarding the hospitality cluster, the su-engths of this cluster are as follows: the community's
potential as a top tourist destination with attractions; strong community support with major
construction projects (e.g. multi purpose arena); and enhances the community's quality of life. The
weaknesses were characterized by the mostly low-paying, low-skill jobs in this industry and
geographical disadvantages when compared with San Antonio and Houston_
Ms_ Arnold discussed what the clusters represented to the region's economy. First, she said
the clusters represented a diverse mix in the coastal bend, accounting for 44 percent of the regional
total employment Second, the health care, education, and hospitality industry clusters share about
10 percent of the total regional workforce. Th/rd, these five clusters were projected to gain 8,930
jobs by 2010, accounting for 32.6 percent of projected employment growth_ Fourth, the five
industry clusters account for a total of 4,209 firms or about 40 percent of all fu-ms in the coastal bend
area. Fifth, she said the five identified clusters closely match Work-Force l's existing "targeted"
industrSes, those industries which drive the selected training opportunities for those participants
coming to the Work-Force centers.
Ms. Arnold provided statistics on Work Force l's training opportunities related to the
identified clusters. Since July 2002, there were a total of 677 pomona Irained with Work Force
lnves~maent Act funds, and over 400 of those individuals were mined in the health care industry (72
percent). She said over 100 individuals (18 percent) were trained in truck driving, a support to the
construction induslry and petrochemical industries. Finally, she said only 50 participants (18
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
September 14, 2004 - Page 6
percent) were trained in education-related industries. She noted that no training was held for
electricians, plumbers, or carpenters in support of the construction indusa~y, and the goal was to
better align Work Force l's training resources with projected industry needs.
Ms. Arnold covered several initiatives to better address projected industry needs. Focusing
on the education industry, she mentioned a self-sufficiency grant given to CCISD as business partner
and Del Mar College as fiscal agent, with the goal of providing training to paraprofessionals to gain
certifications as certified teachers. An apprenticeship initiative was also created to better meet the
needs of the construction industry in the area, partnering with the following organizations: Texas
Gulf Coast Electrical Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee, South Texas Chapter of the
Associated General Contractors, Associated Builders & Contractors Texas Coastal Bend Apprentice
Program, and the Corpus Christi Air Conditioning and Plumbing Contractors Association. Finally,
she discussed an economic development alignment to discuss the following issues: areas of
consensus; potential growth industries; workforce availability; training opportunities; and emerging
industries. In conclusion, Ms_ Arnold stated numerous data sources were available on Work Force
l's website for more information.
Mayor Neal thanked Ms. Arnold, Mr. Martinez, and the Work Force 1 Board of Directors,
for their efforts to move the organization forward.

Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 15 regarding an annual grant for access studio
equipment. Mr. Jack Gordy, 4118 Bray, asked the Council to withhold payment of the $7,000 grant
award to NuPAC, Incorporated because of serious concerns regarding the NuPAC leadership and
the management of the studio. He said NuPAC President Cruz Colomo had made several
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
September 14, 2004 - Page 15
questionable management decisions, including allowing the studio's insurance to lapse, restricting
studio access, failing to pay th~ studio's electricity bill, and using NuPAC funds for expenses that
were not allowed under the contract. Finally, Mr. Gordy suggested that if the Council did decide
to approve the grant, the city should take steps to assume control of the funds to prevent further
misuse.
Mr. Noyola asked if the Cable Communications Commission was aware of the problem, and
asked if they had taken any action. Director of E-Government Services Susan Cable explained the
Cable Commission oversaw the activities of the public access user groups, but by contract, the city
oversaw the use of the studio_ She reported the $7,000 grant in question was fi.om October 2003,
and the grant award was postponed pending a police investigation and financial audit due to a
complaint_ She said no violation was found, so the funds can now be distributed. She noted the
current contract reslricted the use of funds for the repair and replacement of equipment only. She
reported last Friday, the city sent a certified letter to NuPAC citing their concerns about the studio's
management, and gave them ten days to address the concerns.
Cable Communication Commission Chairman Richard Pulido stated that the commission was
taking a proactive approach to the problems with public access user groups. He said on August 30,
the commission directed the PAUG to review their bylaws and regulations to see if they could come
to an agreement on how the PAUG should be mn. He asked the Council to postpone the funding
request until the PAUG have demonstrated that they are moving forward in a professional manner.
In response to Mr. Colmenero's question, Chairman Pulido stated the commission would be meeting
on September 27 with the PAUG board members to discuss their progress, and he asked the Council
to wait until after this meeting before approving the grant.
Mr. Kinnison thanked Chairman Pulido and the Cable Communications Commission for their
efforts to resolve this problem. He stated the city should strongly consider controlling the funds in
the future to ensure that the funds were being used properly. Mr. Noyola agreed with Mr. Kinnison.
City Manager Noe replied the funds in questions were approved for use in 2003-04, and thus were
covered under the provisions of the previous contract_ He said the contract had now expired,
however, and staff could amend the new contract to provide for city control of the funds. Ms. Cable
added staffwould also require the president of NuPAC to sign an acknowledgment form citing the
allowable uses for the funds and requiring them to submit receipts for any expenditures.
Mr. Kelly stated it was becoming tiresome that the Council was continually becoming
involved in the PAUG's basic financial and operational issues. He asked if the Cable
Communications Commission could be given the authority to distribute funds to PAUG. City
Munager Noe replied to this point, the commission has been involved in operational issues. He said
staff could explore how to involve the commission more directly in the PAUG's financial oversight
as well.
Mr. Jerome Bradford, a PAUG producer, spoke regarding concerns about the historical
problems with NuPAC leadership, and the lack of funding for the studio.
Mr. Kinnison made a motion to table Item 15 until the first Council meeting in October
(October 11), seconded by Mr. Kelly, and passed.

Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 22 regarding an underground storage tank mitigation
contract. Mr_ Kelly asked for a status report on the city's progress in mitigating the underground
storage tanks at the Old RTA Facility. Assistant Director of Engineering Services Kevin Stowers
replied the TCEQ was reviewing the results of the last year of monitoring and ground water
withdrawal to see if the area could be closed as an active site. If the TCEQ det~:nnined there was
still product in the ground greater than their closure requirements, they would require additional
mitigation efforts_ Mr. Kelly asked if the TCEQ closed the site, could the site be used for another
purpose. Assistant City Manager Ron Massey replied affirmatively, noting there were limitations
on the usage. He said the city was optimistic the s~te would be closed. City Secretary Chapa polled
the Council for their votes as follows:

Mayor Neal opened discussion on Item 33 regarding a federal cost sharing agreement for the
Nueces River Feasibility Study_ Assistant City Manager Ron Massey reported the Council had
previously approved a draft federal cost sharing agreement which was forwarded to the Corps of
Engineers for review. He said minor changes were made to the agreement that had been approved
by staff.and the other partners. The Council's approval today would allow the city manager to sign
the contract on behalf of the city, and would appropriate the city's first year share of the project
study costs ($118,000).
Mr. Kelly asked if the recharge enhancement projects were approved, would the feasibility
study address what mitigation efforts the city was entitled to. Mr. Massey replied mitigation efforts
would be part of the feasibility study, and it was important for the city to be involved in the study
to ensure that the mitigation wound be acceptable to the city. Mr. Kelly expressed concern about San
Antonio's efforts to infringe on the city's water rights, and he was wary of this project. City Manager
Noe replied the feasibility study was completely separate bom the city's dispute with San Antonio
over existing recharge initiatives_ Mr. Kelly said the city should still keep a close eye on the
situation. There were no comments fi.om the audience_ City Secretary Chapa polled the Council
for their votes as follows:

Mayor Neal referred to Item 31 .a., and a motion was made, seconded and passed to open the
public hearing on the following item:
31.a.
Public heating to consider abandoning and vacating a 27,082-square foot portion of an
undeveloped and unsurfaced 60-foot wide dedicated public right-of-way (Seabreeze Drive)
extending 451 linear feet north of South Padre Island Drive and east of Southbay Drive, out
of Lot A, Block 2, and Lot A, Block 3, Southbay Addition Annex; subject to owner's
compliance with the specified conditions.
City Secretary Chapa announced this ordinance would be read in two readings, this being
the first reading. He also stated Council Member Scott would be abstaining fi-om the vote and
d~scussion on this item.
Director of Development Services Barbara Bailey explained the city had received a request
from Ms. Dawn Melancon, Mr. Arnold IG-ueger, and the Baptist Foundation of Texas, to close
Seabreeze Drive. She said they comprised two of three abutting property owners in the area, and
were requesting the closure to build a multi-story apartment complex that would not be divided by
a public road.
Ms. Bailey reported when staffevaluated a request for abandonment, they needed to ensure
all public interest in the road had been extinguished. She said the public interest in the road was
mostly extinguished, with the notable exception of the third abutting property owners where the
undeveloped public right-of-way deadended, Dr. and Mr. Guthrie. Dr. and Mr. Guthrie were
opposed to the abandonment and vacation of the public right-of-way because the closing of
Seabreeze Drive would hinder accessibility to their property and affect the quality of access.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
September 14, 2004- Page 19
Ms. Bailey said staffmet with the Guthries and informed them they would still be able to
a~ce~ theix property fi.om Baylark Drive, Cayo Drive, and Seashore Drive, Io~at streets in the area.
Without Seabreeze Drive, however, the access to their property was less than ideal because it would
be limited to a local street. Generally, she said apartments were placed on collector streets due to
density and resulting Waffic. In addition, if the proposed development proceeded, it would make the
rear property less suited to single family development.
Ms. Bailey stated that the preferred solution would be to provide alternative access to the
Guthries's property. She showed a proposed alternate road to the rear property branching off of
Southbay Drive that would not require going through a local street. Staff was proposing that the
developer pay for the cost of the proposed street, approximately $45,000, as well as approximately
$20,000 toward storm sewer and water improvements. Ms. Bailey also stated many residents in the
area had signed a petition in favor of the closure of Seabreeze Drive.
Mr. Larry Urban with Urban Engineering, representing the applicants, stated Seabreeze
Drive was approximately 27,000 square-feet, valued at approximately $27,000. The proposed
alternate access road was approximately 21,000 square feet. He said the applicants proposed
swapping the cost of 21,000 square feet of the proposed alternate access road for the cost of 21,000
square feet of Seabreeze Drive. This would leave a difference of 6,000 square feet, which the
developer agree to pay for at the appraised value of $1 per square foot. In addition, the applicants
proposed paying the city $62,400 for the cost of the water, sewer, paving, drainage, and curb and
gutter improvements for the proposed alternative access road_
Mrs. Mary Ann Guthrie spoke in opposition to the closing of Seabreeze Drive. She
commented this was the first time she had heard about the proposed alternate route. She was
interested in the proposal because it seemed that the developer would bear the cost of the new road,
which seemed fair in her opinion. She and her husband were unhappy, however, with the very short
amount of notice they had been given about the issue. On August 12, 2004, Ms. Bailey had
informed them that the street closure was not going to take place. Three weeks later, Mrs. Guthrie
said Mr. Willie Medina with Development Services called and said the closure was going to take
place after all_ She received one week's notice that the item was going to be on the agenda today,
and received a mailed notice three days before today's hearing.
Mr. Kelly questioned closing Seabreeze Drive because it would limit access from the
Guthries's property to S.P.I.D. Ms. Bailey replied that an off-ramp fxom SPID was located directly
in front of Seabreeze Drive. The proximity of the off-ramp to the Seabreeze did not make it a safe
access point to the any of the properties abutting the street. She said TxDOT preferred that a
replacement street be implemented.
Mr. Kelly was sympathetic to Dr. and Mrs. Guthrie's assertion that they were given
insufficient notice and information about the matter. He thought it would be premature to approve
the ordinance until more discussion had taken place. Ms. Bailey replied staff was recommending
two readings for this ordinance to allow for more discussion with the interested parties. Staff was
not recommending final action at this meeting, but instead wanted to hold the public hearing and
then bring the item back at a later date_ Ms. Bailey said ~affwanted to give Dr. and Mrs. Guthrie
more time to digest the offer before making a decision.

Mr. Chesney expressed concern that the Guthries were given such short notice about the
matter. He did not want to pass the ordinance on first reading, suggesting in~tead that the ttem be
tabled and brought back as an emergency ordinance next week. Mr. Noyola and Mr. Colmenero
agreed with Mr. Chesney.
Ms. Dawn Melancon, one of the applicants, stated she has been trying to work with the
Guthries, but they did not seem to want to communicate with her.
A motion was made, seconded, and passed to close the public hearing. Mr. Chesney made
a motion to table this item until next week (9/21/IM), bringing it back as an emergency ordinance,
seconded by Mr. Colmenero, and passed.
31 .b. TABLED UNTIL SEPTEMBER 21, 2004
Ordinance abandoning and vacating a 27,082-square foot portion of an undeveloped and
unsurfaced 60-foot wide dedicated public fight-of-way (Seabreeze Drive) extending 451
linear feet north of South Padre Island Drive, out of Lot A, Block 2, and Lot A, Block 3,
Southbay Addition Annex; subject to owner's compliance with the specified conditions.
Mayor Neal referred to Item 30_a., and a motion was made, seconded, and passed to open
the public hearing on the following item:
30.a.
Public hearing to consider approving and adopting the Wastewater Collection System Master
Plan - Allison Service Area as described on Attachment 1, which amends the Master
Sanitary Sewer Plan as prepared by Reagan and McCaughn and adopted December 23, 1964
by Ordinance No. 7441 and rescinds the Sanitary Sewer Master Plan, save and except the
Storm Sewer Master Plan, for the areas of Wood River, River Hills, Valley View, and Quail
Valley in the area of Farm-to-Market Road 624 west of Highway 77 adopted March 10, 1982
by Ordinance No_ 16927.
City Engineer Angel Escobar stated that there were six areas in the city's Wastewater
Collection System as follows: Allison service area (extreme northwest); Whitecap (Padre Island);
Laguna Madre (Flour Bluff); Oso (extreme east); Greenwood; and Broadway (downtown). He said
these amendments to the Wastewater Collection System Master Plan would focus on the Allison
service area only. He said the amendments would address factors in present and future
developments by providing guidance in the preparation of the collection system for the Allison
service area based on ultimate land use. He said the plan would cover development for the next 20
to 30 years. The plan had been presented to the Planning Commission, department and local
consultants and developers, and had received support for the plan.
Mr. Escobar introduced Mr. Carl Crull with HDR Engineering, the firm hired to complete
the master plan for collection systems that service the Allison area. Mr. Crull displayed a map of
the Allison service area, bounded by the Nueces River and Missouri Pacific Railroad along the
northern boundary; Corn Products Road along the eastern boundary; State Highway 44 along the
southern boundary (including the Clarkwood Township); and the Robstown ETJ and County Road
73 along the western boundary. Within the service area, he noted there were two areas covered by
existing plans that encompassed a large portion of the proposed Wastewater Collection System
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
September 14, 2004 - Page 21
Master Plan - Allison service area. He provided a brief history on their creation. A sanitary sewer
master plan was adopted in 1964, developed by Reagan and McCauglm, due to an aunexation-in
1961. A second sanitary sewer master plan covering another area was adopted in 1982 to cover the
Wood River area. One of the shortcomings of the 1982 plan was it stated that the sewer system was
it was not specific enough. In 1984, city staff developed a report specifying how to expand the
sewer system between the Allison plant and other areas.
Mr. Crull stated the flow assumptions staffmade for the plan were 70 gallons per person per
day, and 400 gallons per acre of infiltration. He said the land use assumptions were based on the
area development plans, which were not available for use in the previous master plans.
Mr. Crull reported the Allison wastewater collection system was comprised of five
component systems: System 1 (Turkey Creek line); System 2 (Woodland Creek Line); System 3
0team Road Line to Sharpsburg Lilt Station); System 4 (Leopard Road Line to Sharpsburg Lilt
Station); and System 5 (Sharpsburg Road Line to Sharpsburg Lift Station). He said Systems I and
2 would flow directly into the Allison Wastewater Treatment Plant while Systems 3, 4, and 5 would
flow into the Sharpsburg Lift Station and are then pumped into the Allison Wastewater Treatment
Plant.
To create the new Wastewater Collection System Master Plan for the Allison service area,
Mr. Crull stated the following actions were needed:
the 1964 sanitary sewer master plan had to be amended to include additional areas in the new
master plan
the 1982 sanitary sewer master plan had to be rescinded in its entirety, except the storm
sewer master plan that is part of it
· delete the area north of 1I-I-37, east of the Turkey Creek wastewater collection main, and
west of Corn Products Road fi-om the 1964 Master Sanitary Sewer Plan. The development
of this area has primarily been large petrochemical plants and associated industrial uses.
These plants have their own treatment facilities to address their domestic wastewater and
industrial process water.
the area generally bounded by IH-37, Corn Products Road, Sedwick Road, Sedwick Road
extended, and R_hew Road needs to be lxansferred fi.om the 1964 Allison Service Area to the
Greenwood Service Area. Wastewater flows fi.om this area will be serviced by the
Greenwood Treatment Plant.
adopt the Wastewater Collection System Master Plan - Allison Service Are~
Mayor Neal noted this plan only covered the Allison Service Area. He asked when the city
would develop plans for the city's other service areas. Mr. Escobar replied the city was deficient on
several of its service area plans, notably the Laguna Madre service area_ City Manager Noe added
according to the city's CIP discussions, the plan was to take one of the areas at a time and update it.
In response to Mayor Neal's question, Mr. Foster Edwards, director ofwastewater services,
stated the city's wastewater system was operating under a variance with a 20/20 permit The TCEQ
wanted to see the city operate under a 10/15 permit, which was more expensive. The city and the
TCEQ have been discussing the matter for over 10 years. Mr. Edwards stated he and First City
Attorney Jay Reining were going to discuss the matter with the TCEQ at a meeting soon.

average, as opposed to three to four hours in the county.
Mr_ Noe also reported Assistant City Manager Mark McDaniel would be leaving the city's
employment_ He said the city would hold a function soon to wish him well.

hall permit fees, saying non-profits were being adversely affected by the fees. He asked staff to
provide a report on the projected revenues fi.om the dance hall permit fees. Mr. Noyola also thanked
Mayor Neal and Mr. Garrett for participating in the 16 de Septiembre parade. Finally, Mr. Noyola
reported the old TxDOT building near Port and Morgan was in bad shape, and the grass needed to
be mowed.
Mr. Garrett reported a traffic light near Port and Morgan was hanging too low.
There being no further business to come before the Council, Mayor Neal adjourned the
Council meeting at 1:08 p.m. on September 14, 2004.

ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
BACKGROUND:
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) through the Texas Department of Human
Service (TDHS) provides grants for youth nutrition as a continuation of the National School
Lunch Program. This program is called the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) for
after school educational and/or enrichment activities. In order to qualify for this program, a
site must:
a) provide youth with regularly scheduled activities in an organized, structured and
supervised environment
b) include educational and/or enrichment activities as part of the programming
c) site must be located in an area served by a school where 50% or more of the youth
enrolled are eligible for free or reduced price school meals
The Park and Recreation Department has a total of 24 Latchkey sites (Agenda Item A). Sites
to be served are Casa Linda Elementary, Fannin Elementary, Houston Elementary,
Meadowbrook Elementary, Menger Elementary, Carroll Lane Elementary, Central Park
Elementary, Galvan Elementary, Kostoryz Elementary, Moore Elementary, Sanders
Elementary, Smith Elementary, Yeager Elementary, Calk Elementary, Chula Vista
Elementary , Crocker Elementary, Garcia Elementary, Los Encinos Elementary, Montclair
Elementary, Oak Park Elementary, Schanen Elementary, Wilson Elementary, Prescott
Elementary and Woodlawn Elementary.
There are 5 sites that do not qualihj for this program based on enrollment of youth eligible for
free and reduced school meals. These sites are Barnes Elementary, Dawson Elementary,
Mireles Elementary, Jones Elementary, Windsor Park Elementary and Club Estates
Elementary. However, to maintain the consistency and quality of the Latchkey program,
these sites will be provided an afternoon snack. Cost for these sites will be paid from already
designated funds.
Over the past few years, the City and CClSD have entered into local interagency agreements
for the preparation and delivery of meals to the sites with the Summer Food Service
Program. The City again proposes to enter into contracts with CCISD to prepare and deliver
snacks at a rate of $.53 per snack for the school year beginning October 1, 2003-May 29,
2004. CCISD will also maintain and provide menu preparation records. The snack consists
of fruitJvegetable, milk/juice and dessert. It is estimated that approximately 2,755 youth per
day will be served after school snacks. At each site, city staff will vedfy daily snack counts
and distribute snacks to youth. Total program costs are to be provided by the State's
reimbursement. No City funds will be utilized for this program to qualifying sites, but an
ordinance is necessary to appropriate the grant of $206,451 in order to implement the
program. CCISD has approved the food service agreements.

H:~OMEAKEVINS\GEN\WATER~390 & 8425SouthsidePh4&4A~abBkgExhA.doc
FUTURE COUNCIL ACTION: Approval of design amendments, construction contracts
and testing agreements to complete the project as required.
PROJECT BACKGROUND:
The Council-approved 1997 Water Distdbution System Master Plan Update recommended
a new Southside Transmission Main from the O.N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant
(ONSWTP) to a new pumping plant (Staples Street Pumping Plant) to alleviate inadequate
water supply and pressure problems experienced during peak demand periods in Pressure
Zone 2, the area essentially southeast of Everhart Road. The new transmission main
would substantially increase the hydraulic capacity of the delivery system from the
ONSWTP to southeast Corpus Christi and eventually to Padre Island.
PHASE 1: On June 16, 1998, Council awarded an engineering services contract to
Urban Engineering for the Southside Water Transmission Main Project - Phase 1 from
the ON Stevens Water Treatment Plant to Clarkwood Road. Council awarded a
construction contract for this phase of the project-to Pate & Pate Construction on
December 12, 2000 The construction project for the Southside Transmission Main
Phase 1 from O.N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant to Clarkwood Road was
completed and put into service in May, 2002
PHASE 2, 2a and 3: On April 24, 2002, Council awarded an engineering contract to Urban
Engineering for the Southside Water Transmission Main Phases 2, 2a & 3 from the
intersection o[ Saratoga Boulevard and County Road 54 to the Staples Street Pumping
Plant, including a connection to the existing 42~ Holly Road main. On January 14, 2003, a
construction contract was awarded to Gamey Companies, Ltd. of Kansas City, Missouri, for
$15,844,698.58 for the Southside Water Transmission Main, Phases 2, 2a & 3. Work has
been completed for this phase of the project.
PHASE 4, 4a and 5: This project will be constructed in phases with Phases 4 and 4a
being constructed together and Phase 5 constructed separately to expedite completion of
both contracts. A design contract was awarded December 17, 2002 to Urban Engineering
in the amount of $11824,742 for the Southside Water Transmission Main, Phases 4, 4a,
and 5. As part of that contract Council authorized the permitting and design of a water line
from the South Staples Street pump station to Flour Bluff, terminating in the vicinity of
Yorktown Boulevard and Laguna Shores Road. A significant portion of this line's capacity
would go towards feeding a new pipeline to Padre and Mustang Islands.
PHASE 6 and 7: Padre Island currently receives its water via a 24" pipeline installed in
1969. The final segments of this project will begin at Laguna Shores Drive (end of Phase
5) and extend a water main across the Laguna Madre to Padre Island and the intersection
of Whitecap Boulevard and the Padre Island Pumping Plant.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Phase 4 of the transmission main begins at the end of an existing 42" diameter water main
close to the intersection of South Oso Parkway and Staples St. (FM 2444). The existing
I EXHIBIT "A"
Page 2 of 3
H:~IOME~J~EVINS~EN\WATER~8390 & 8425SouthsidePh4&4A'~J_abBkgExhA.doc
42" diameter main is located along Staples St. and is connected to the existing Staples
Street Pump Station. Phase 4 is approx. 20,950 feet long and runs from Staples Street
southward to the back of King Estates and then turns east and crosses the Oso Creek by
directional drilling. Phase 4 continues across City property north of and parallel to Oso
Creek until it reaches Rodd Field Road ROW and then turns north where it ends at the
Rodd Field Road and Yorktown Boulevard intersection.
Phase 4A is approx. 14,200 feet long and begins at the end of Phase 4 at the Rodd Field
Road and Yorktown Boulevard intersection. Phase 4A continues northward along Rodd
Field Road until it reaches Holly Road where it is connected to the existing 30" diameter
waterline located in Holly Road. Fittings will be provided at the end of Phase 4, beginning
of Phase 4A (Rodd Field Road and Yorktown Boulevard) for connection to Phase 5 (to be
constructed in the near future).
Phase 5 will be located along Yorktown Boulevard from Rodd Field Road to Laguna
Shores Road.

FUTURE COUNCIL ACTION: Approval of an Interactive Hydraulic City-wide Water
Model to complete the subject project.
PROJECT BACKGROUND: The original contract provided for preliminary phase
services for the Interactive Hydraulic Model. Council was advised that approval of a
City-wide Interactive Hydraulic Model would be necessary to complete the project. This
was not included in the odginal contract to allow an assessment of existing data and
additional data needs. This allowed the City and consultant to better understand the
scope of the work required for the project and negotiate a fee based on the defined
scope.
Amendment No. 1 consists of an updated interactive hydraulic model and analysis, that
will be used to update the 1995 Water Master Plan and includes field verification of the
City's distribution system; inventory/analysis of valve system; review of water delivery
system; provide steady state/extended pedod simulation analysis; all deliverables to be
compatible with the City's GIS and all databases generated will be compatible with
vadous water system modeling software. Amendment No. 1 provides for the:
FOR INTERACTIVE HYDRAULIC MODEL:
· Collection of the additional data required to build the Extended Pedod Simulation
(EPS) capabilities into the Corpus Christi Water Model (CCWM).
FOR LAGUNA MADRE CROSSING:
· Preparation of contingency plans and negotiation of pre-positioned responses
with United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and Resource Agencies.
· Minor tasks such as workshops, training and system improvements
AMENDMENT NO. 2: The existing Oso Bay 30-Inch Pipeline Crossing provides water
service to the Flour Bluff area and to Padre Island. In case of an emergency pipeline
break of the existing Oso Bay 30-Inch Pipeline Crossing, it is very important that a
contingency plan of action and permit identification requirements be available for an
appropriate response to correct the break in minimal time and prevent water service
disruption.
Amendment No. 2 will provide for the development of Phase 1 of contingency planning
with federal and state agencies for the Oso Bay 30-Inch Pipeline Crossing.
Contingency planning is necessary to allow the development of pre-negotiated
responses with the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), resource agencies, and

the U. S. Naval Air Station of Corpus Christi. The Contingency Plan will allow for the
following:
· Identity the most likely repair action and the possible effect.
· Identity and assess the range of likely impacts on each segment of the crossing
for each type of repair actions.
· Describe the likely impacts and appropriate environmental aspects of response,
such as potentially applicable best management practices and reporting

most likely repair actions and their possible effects.
5. For each type of repair action, briefly identify and assess the range of likely
impacts on each segment of the crossing,
6. Prepare draft Contingency Plan that describes likely impacts and appropriate
environmental aspects of response, such as potentially applicable best
management practices, reporting protocols, etc.
7. Obtain agency concurrence on Best Management Practices (BMP's) during
construction and restoration plan, if sea grasses were present. (No
mitigation required if restoration is successful)
8. Location survey approximately 1 mile of 30" inch pipeline across the Oso Bay
and the 24-inch line that crosses the relief channel located east of the
Intercoastal Waterway. The survey will include:
· Probe and survey pipeline at 250 ft. intervals to a depth of 8' below the
natural bottom.

· Depths deeper than 8 ft. will be noted on the drawing as no physical
contact with the pipe.
· Should high pipe with less than 1' of cover be located intervals will be
shortened to locate the start and stop points of exposed pipe.
· At the 500' survey intervals the pipeline will be uncovered and cathodic
protection readings shall be taken when the pipeline has 3' of cover or
less.
· A detailed report of the survey findings with drawings will be included in
Contingency Plan
Prepare a Draft and Final Contingency Plan and periodically review and
update/meet with the City as appropriate.
Deliverable: A Contingency Plan with the following provisions: (a) description
of existing conditions; (b) plan to respond to various types of pipeline failures

Dear Mr. Stowera;
We recently received bids for the above referenced project and it seems that we never
received the original mount needed for the City of Corpus Clmsti's portion for the
construction of the project. This coupled with cost overrun (6.74 %) lead to a shortage of
funds in the City escrow funds for this project. We have attached a breakdown of the
escrow account which shows a shortage of $ 55,638.24. We need the City send us a
check or warrant for tlxis amount made payable to the Texas Department of
Transportation to bring up the funds in the escrow account. If you have any questions or
neexl additional information relating to this request, please let us know.
Sincerely; /

PROJECT BACKGROUND: On August 16, 2001 the Storm Water Management
Advisory Committee was presented with the Storm Water Master Plan Project and the
Committee unanimously recommended the project be presented to the City Council.
The project was awarded and initiated with the consultant team of Goldston
Engineering, Inc., Don Rodman and Dodson & Associates, Inc. in August, 2001.
The need for a Storm Water Master Plan Project became evident as a result of a
number of drainage studies for different areas in the approved Storm Water Capital
Improvements Program (CIP) for FY 1999-2000 on July 20, 1999 (Ordinance No.
023703). The City utilizes Master Plans that date back to 1946, 1961, 1970, 1982, and
1988 with inconsistent cdteria and without an adopted level of protection policy. As a
result the Storm Water Master Plan Project includes the development of a
comprehensive, updated, consistent Storm Water Master Plan based on an adopted
Storm Water ManaQement Polices with a level of protection responsive to the
community. The Storm Water Criteria and Desicln Manual is based on the storm water
policies and level of protection. The Manual is necessary to respond to land use
development, environmental issues and to better define and prioritize on-going and
future storm water capital improvement projects.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project consists of two phases.
Phase One will produce Storm Water Manaqement Policies to be included and
implemented through the Storm Water Criteria and Desiqn Manual and adopted
by Council action. The Manual will include policy statements for storm water
EXHIBIT "A" [
Page 2 of 4
management consistent with federal/state regulations and subdivision
development, a level of protection and drainage design criteria that reflect the
input of the community.
Phase Two will develop an updated, consistent Storm Water Master Plan for the
City. The Master Plan will consist of map sheets at a scale of 1" = 400 I.f. with
two foot contours based on LIDAR (Light Imaging Detection and Ranging) and
aerial photography using USGS 1995 digital orthogonal rectified quarter-
quadrangle base maps. The map sheets will reflect the results of the hydrologic
and hydraulic modeling of the selected areas to include the parameters required
for design of future capital improvement projects as well as land use
development projects.
Amendment 1 allowed Goldston Engineering, Inc. to provide assistance to City Staff for
the presentation before Commissioner's Court in February 2003.
AMENDMENT NO. 2: Amendment No. 2 specifically designates Open channel system
requirements, augments the storm water master plan map sheets to include Padre and
Mustang Island areas, provides additional consultant support, and provides for a Phase
Three initial implementation plan.
Dudng the development of the Design Criteria and Design Manual (DCDM) it was
determined that approximately 450 miles of open channels are anticipated to meet
existing and ultimate development. These open channels are identified as "Major"
channels that convey runoff from over 500 acres, and "Collector" channels that convey
runoff from 200 to 500 acres. The amendment defines engineering effort, topographic
requirements for channel location, channel location, size, conveyance requirements,
and deliverables.
Under the amended Phase Two, the Storm Water Master Plan (SWMP) map sheet
boundaries will be increased to include Padre and Mustang Islands within City
jurisdiction. Additionally, under Phase 3, twenty-five (25) stream miles of preliminary
hydraulic modeling (using HEC-RAS analysis) for the Oso Creek watershed will be
performed.
Phase Three includes Oso Creek watershed as stated above, consultant support and
initial implementation planning as follows:
The Oso Creek modeling includes 25.9 open channel miles as presented in
Exhibit A3 of the Amendment. This work will provide an estimate of the water
surface elevation and inundation limits for both the existing and ultimate land
development conditions (100-year storm event) allowing the City to plan for
proper development.
EXHIBIT "A"
Page 3 of 4 I
Consultant support provides for presentations with stakeholder interests to
present project information and secure community input to the DCDM and
SWMP.
Included is an initial implementation plan for 20 of the 450 miles that identifies
required conveyance improvements for designated channels. The reports will
be provided in Capital Improvement Program (CIP) format.

Amendment No. 2 specifically designates open channel system requirements,
augments the storm water master plan map sheets to include Padre and Mustang Island
areas, provides additional consultant support, and provides for a Phase Three initial
implementation plan.
During the development of the Design Cdteda and Design Manual (DCDM) it was
determined that approximately 450 miles of open channels are anticipated to meet
existing and ultimate development. These open channels are identified as "Major"
channels that convey runoff from over 500 acres, and "Collector" channels that convey
runoff from 200 to 500 acres. The amendment defines engineering effort, topographic
requirements for channel location, channel location, size, conveyance requirements,
and deliverables.
Under the amended Phase Two, the Storm Water Master Plan (SWMP) map sheet
boundaries will be increased to include Padre and Mustang Islands within City
jurisdiction. Additionally, under Phase 3, twenty-five (25) stream miles of preliminary
hydraulic modeling (using HEC-RAS analysis) for the Oso Creek watershed will be
performed.
Phase Three includes Oso Creek watershed as stated above, consultant support and
initial implementation planning as follows:
The Oso Creek modeling includes 25.9 open channel miles as presented in
Exhibit A3 of the Amendment. This work will provide an estimate of the water
surface elevation and inundation limits for both the existing and ultimate land
development conditions (100-year storm event) allowing the City to plan for

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
PRIOR ACTIONS:
This project has involved a number of complex actions. The most significant Council and
administrative actions are attached. See Exhibit
BACKGROUND:
This change order became necessary due to the discovery of voids behind the bulkhead
dudng the replacement of the sanitary sewer line on Coopers Alley L-Head. These voids
were not visually apparent during the design of the project. It is necessary to demolish old
paving to fill the voids discovered. The change order addresses the required void filling
and new paving.
An evaluation of paving repair options was completed. It was determined that reinforced
concrete paving was preferable to asphalt due to the Iow speeds, frequent vehicular starts
and stops, parking movements, and heavy equipment at the haul out facility. The project
will provide for approximately 14,500 square feet of reinforced concrete paving.
The required scope of work was presented to Laughlin-Thyssen and Gunther Nash [or
evaluation. Laughlin-Thyssen offered a lower price for the change order, but it was not
deemed to be the best value after review. The proposal submitted by Gunther Nash was
$528.40 higher.
Laughlin Thyssen proposed to complete the work in 70 days which was deemed excessive
and an inconvenience to the public. Gunther Nash would complete the work in only 30
days. The Laughlin Thyssen proposal required the waiver of almost $35,000 in accr~Jed
liquidated damages. Further, saving the cost of forty additional days of quality assurance
made combined to make the Gunther Nash proposal the best value.
PROJECT SCHEDULE: The work will be performed by Gunther Nash following the
demobilization from the work area by Laughlin-Thyssen. Gunther Nash should proceed
with the work and be complete during October, 2004.
RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the motion as presented.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The change order is necessary to address thirteen (13) work items that were necessary to
complete the project. The most expensive item is for HVAC revisions at the new
checkpoint area (No. 12. - $42,613.55). The new checkpoint area did not have HVAC in
the immediate area This would not pose a problem at the location as it was originally
designed as a corridor. Relocation of the checkpoint required HVAC be located in the
immediate area to ensure proper temperature control.
The other twelve (12) work items ranged between $662.06 and $12,167.63. The items in
order of descending value were:
· Installation of fire sprinklers in vacant building shell areas - $12,167.63. The
work was originally intended to be deferred until build out. Installation of the
sprinkler system was required to obtain a certificate of occupancy.
· Extend electrical feed, box and breaker to new retail magazine shop
$12,115.83. The work was to be done by the tenant, but lease negotiations
resulted in the City extending the power to the space with the tenant
providing build out.
· Revisions to break room 2015 - $7,665.18. Added built in cabinets, range
and other improvements at request of City.
· Install electrical to support relocated checkpoint - $6,099.45. Checkpoint
was relocated to a location that did not have the required electrical
equipment to operate equipment.
· Provide a new Fire Department stand pipe connection $5,406.80. Fire
Department requested an additional stand pipe connection point.

the end of the roof and fascia.
· Add Viracon stripped glass - $4,214.39. Installation of ornamental glass to
dress up area.
· Relocate Gate I back wall counter - $2,984.56. Negotiated change with
Delta Airlines to accommodate their being the first relocated airline.
· Lower valve boxes and install 2-6-inch bollards $2,253.07. Existing valve
boxes required adjustment to be level with pavement and bollards were
needed to protect an existing fire hydrant.
· Re-route 4-inch HVAC vent to new location $1,867.12. Vent could not be
routed as originally designed to conflicts with structure and other electrical,
mechanical and plumbing systems.
· Provide HVAC, additional lighting and receptacle in Room 1111 - $1,808.49.

City of Corpus Christi, Texas - Phase [I Proposal
METHODOLOGY
The City desires to have the original contract amended to include a study of all major
divisions and operations of the Corpus Christi Fire Department (CCFD). Phase I includes a
review of key components of the emergency response system including finding ways to
"provide the most economical service delivery while maintaining acceptable levels of service
to the community."
The CCFD is a mumcipal fire department that provides a full range of modem fire
department services, including fire suppression, emergency medical services, EMS transport,
hazmat, prevention, and other services. It protects a population of nearly 280,000 spanning
over 135 square miles. Major business for the City includes petroleum refineries and tourism.
Phase I of the study includes seven key areas:
SCOPE OF WORK - PHASE I
1. A detailed review and analysis of fire station locations, fire suppression staffing asld
deployment, and recomn-tendations for alternate methods of staffing and deployment
taking into consideration type and number of calls for service. Personnel leave patterns
and history as well as personnel policies and contractual issues shall be reviewed and
included in this review.
2. An analysis of current response times to determine how often fire companies arrive on
scene within four minutes, and how often the full alarm assignment is on scene within
eight minutes, also to determine current "turn out" time
3. A detailed review and analysis of current EMS delivery including Medic Unit staffing
and deployment, and recommendations for alternate methods of EMS delivery to include,
but not limited to:
Municipal utility models
· Paramedic Engine concepts
· Public/Private integration
· Citywide Franchising
· Other delivery methods not listed above.
4. An assessment of cost of delivering emergency medical service as compared against
other major metropolitan areas within the State of Texas, to include specifically:
· Cost of service versus revenue production
· Cost per EMS vehicle operated
· Costper call response
· Call volume per EMS vehicle operated.
TriDala, A Division of 2 August 2004
System plannmg Corporation
City of Corpus Christi, Texas - phase 11 Proposal
5. An assessment of the impact of current contractual requirements of all firefighters to
become paramedics and the impact of National Registry examinations on retention of
cadets as well as impact on overall staffing of the department.
6. A review of current revenues and recommendations for the Department to increase
current or add additional revenue sources.
7. Compahsons of Corpus Christi to ten similar/comparable (financial status) municipalities
to include the cost of providing fire suppression services.
SCOPE OF IArORK - PHASE II
The proposed Phase II of the study will include completion of all elements of Phase I, and the
following:
1. Review Organizational Structure and Management Practices. (Brezler and Owens)
We will consider the logic of the organization chart, internal communications, spans of
control, training of people in supervisory positions, nianagement information, md other
aspects of the organization and management of the department. We consider the use of
information management, adequacy of facilities, and clerical support staff.
We will review departmental policies and procedures and their documentation In the
course of other tasks here, we will see if they are consistent with actual practices and City
policy. We will also review information technology and records management systems
(e.g., documentation and reporting systems). They are vital functions that affect the
productivity of the department. We will review them to see if there are any major
problems, and if the staffing and structure of those functions seems appropriate.
We will review the state of the department's computer support. In part, this is determined
by the ease of providing data to the variety of questions that will be raised in this study.
Most fire departments have become dependent on computers but do not recei', ,* ~ ,:quate
IT support for applications development and maintenance, and for system mai~t~ nance
TriData will also consider human resources policies and procedures. Items that ,~,ill be
reviewed include, application and use of FMLA, light duty, leave (vacation a~,l, i'.,ess),
position descriptions, recruitment and retention, promotional procedures, perfo~mm~ce
reviews, u~fion and management relations, cormnurtity input process (CIP) and
awareness. We will also consider whether additional civilianization is prudent and
reasonable.
Expanded Review of Fire Suppression, EMS, and Special Operations.
(Richmond, Orgen)
In Phase II the review of fire suppression, EMS, and Special Operations is exp~ dod
beyond the limited study of Phase I. Where Phase I was designed for the study of
TriDala, A Division of 3 August 21304
System planrung Corporatuon
City of Corpus Christi, Texas - Phase [1 Proposal
personnel and apparatus, Phase II is designed primarily to look at strategic issues and
policy formulation that affect actual delivery of fire and EMS services.
The expanded review looks more in-depth at actual operations including the review of
operating policies and guidelines, the division of labor between various ranks,
effectiveness of supervision and management and the overall quality of service provided
by personnel. A review of incident command procedures including how well persormel
are trained and use the national model Incident Management System (IMS) will also be
accomphshed. We will also look at inter-department command procedures required for
large-scale incidents where multiple agency cooperation is necessary (unified command).
The review of command and control will also assess the effectiveness of the current fire
and EMS system; whether or not fire and EMS are adequately integrated operationally
and procedurally.
The expanded review of operations will look at mutual aid policies, the availability of '
outside resources, and whether mutual aid can be expanded to improve service and
efficiency. We will review existing mutual agreements and whether or not they are
sufficient, up-to-date, and serve the best interest of the City. Cooperative Inter-
Governmental Agreements (IGA) currently in-place with other local or state agencies
will also be reviewed.
Finally, we will also look at the scope of specialized services such as technical rescue and
hazardous material response. This review will include the assessment of current
certification and training levels, annual refresher training and whether or not the
department provides these services at a level consistent with the needs and demand of the
community. We will also look at whether another state or local agency is more
strategically suited to deliver these services (either in whole, or part).
Best Practices We will compare the current levels of services provided against
community needs, and against services and service levels in comparable jurisdictions.
TriData has much data on other jurisdictions of Corpus Christi's size, but we also will
discuss with you the jurisdictions to which you compare yourselves and will fill in
needed comparative data.
We have a unique perspective of best practices and "Best Model" municipalities not only
in the United States, but also around the world. We did a series of research called
International Concepts in Fire Protectton in which we studied best practices in the Far
East, Europe, Australia, and other places, in addition to North America (U.S., Cal~ada,
and Mexico) to understand why so many foreign cities spend less money yet have better
bottom-line results in fire protection, and firefighter injuries that we do.
TriData, A Division of 4 August 2004
System Planning Corporation
City of Corpus Christi, Texas - Phase I1 Proposal
Our comparisons view bottom-line results, not just inputs That is, while we look at input
measures such as the number of firefighters per 1,000 population, cost per 1,000
population, the staffing of units, and the size of the response complement sent to various
types of calls, we also look at intermediate measures such as response times, and bottom-
line measures such as the fires, deaths, injuries, dollar-loss per capita, and the number of
firefighter injuries per 100 firefighters, to name just a few statistics examined.
3. Analysis of Health and Safety Programs, and Work related Injuries. (Comana)
The keys to success of a wellness program depend upon the ability to periodically assess
the effectiveness of current safety programs. The primary purpose of the review of safety
health, and wellness is to assess how the current safety program, still in infancy, can be
improved. The review will include the following:
· Creation of a Wellness Coordinator position for an individual who is both
knowledgeable (specific to firefighter needs) and resourceful (having strong
affiliations with a university or similar institution) to ensure both credibdity and
cost-effectiveness of the program.
· Development and implementation of firefighter task-specific exercise programs
that are time efficient, requiring minimal investment into equipment.
· Development of periodic fitness evaluations delivered effectively by station
commanders or appointed personnel.
· lmplemcmtation of a comprehensive program that expands beyond fitness
programming to include education, seminars, workshops, and rehabilitation
(return-to-work).
Ability to follow established fitness guidelines as outlined under the IAFI' IAFC
Wellness-Fitness Initiative
The effectiveness of a program review is contingent upon the accessibility and
availability to key personnel, data, internal political culture and internal adminJs~r ~ ive
support. We will evaluate current statistics on work-related injuries. TriData will ~:view
work-related injury claims, costs, absenteeism, overtime pay, and disability. W~
evaluate the current wellness and fitness program, assessing the programs el'fec~,~ '~!ess,
appropriateness and accessibility, employee participation rates (both fitness and b:.ick-to-
work) and compliancy issues. We will make recommendation on the current ~,,~,
program, outliaing strengths and weaknesses, identifying costs and current returv
investment (ROI) for current programs.
TriData has written manuals for the U.S. Fire Administration on cost-effectivenes~- of
health and wellness (fitness) program, and on programs that work best in fire ttcp;li m~ent.
4 Review of Fire Prevention and Investigation. (Word-Haley)
TriDam, A Division of 5 /~: ~gust 2004
System Plaruung Corporal/on
City of Corpus Christi, Texas - Phase II Proposal
TriData will review the four major aspects of prevention: the codes being used and the
plans review process; code enforcement/inspections; public fire education; and fire
investigation/arson control. We will consider current staffing levels, workloads, and
organizational structures in both prevention and fire investigation. We will assess
whether the current model of using trained fire investigators to do both cause and origin
while also having arrest authority is the most efficient, or whether t-rte investigators
should focus primarily on cause and origin, with police officers being responsible for
enforcement and arrest. Perhaps the most cost-effective element of prevention is public
fire and injury education. It affects demand, not just what to do once an incident occurs.
(Note: The cost of the fire investigation and arson control analysis will be deducted from
the total price of this contract if the FEMA grant is received.)
TriData will also consider the targeting of public education to high-risk groups and
leading causes, the extent to which smoke detectors are being used and maintained, and
the quality of the materials and the messages. We will look to se~ if any activities can be
terminated (non-mandated activities for which there is relatively low public support). For
example, we will consider the use of self-inspections for low-risk properties.
Revenue Ideas Working in collaboration with senior City staff, TriData will identify
existing fees, fines and pemfits (herein referred to as "Fees") collected by the Fire
Department. Once identified, the following information will be compiled on a fee
schedule:
a. Name of revenue source;
b. Most recent date the rate was established;
c. Ordinance or statute authorizing the revenue source;
d. Recommended rate of adjustment, based on the cost of service delivery; and
e. Estimated fiscal impact, after adjustment.
Fees will be expanded based upon inflation or comparability analysis since the rate of
the revenue source was last established. The number of fees exposed to comparability
analysis will have a combined fiscal impact amounting to at least three-quarters of
total Fire Department fees, fines, and permit revenues.
In addition, we will suggest a variety of revenue sources that are either new, or that
would represent an increase in rates above adjustments for inflation. Analysis for
each such source will include cost of service analysis and be supported by a
description of the application of the same revenue source in another jurisdiction,
where appropriate.
Review of Support Services. (Brezler and Bradshaw)
The quality of services delivered to the public is dependent on an array of support
services behind them. We will evaluate training, fleet management (e.g., replacement
TriDa~, A Division of 6 August 2004
System Plartmng Corporation
City of Corpus Christi, Texas - Phase 11 Proposal
schedule, maintenance), station and facilities maintenance, and emergency management.
We will also look at the 911/dispatch system. We will make recommendations for each
support service area as necessary.
911 Dispatch and Communications Surviving a life-threatening emergency is
predicated by a series of actions that optimally occurs within well-defined periods of
time. The first link is emergency dispatch and communications. We will analyze the
dispatch and communication centers in Corpus Christi. We wilt review these systems by
visiting and observing dispatch operations, and by monitohng radio communications
when we are on site; we generally prefer to borrow a radio or monitor for this purpose.
This step will include PSAP delay and synchronization as well as call routing procedures
and EMD. TriData will review staffing and management of center, as well as
coordination between the police and fire department.
Emergency Management - TriData will conduct a cursory review the emergency
management function of the fire department, focusing mainly on organization and
whether the current structure provides a good framework for operations. We will consider
the role and responsibilities of incumbent personnel, as well as the effectiveness of the
current structure of the emergency management coordinator function. In many cities
across the country, the Emergency Management Coordinator function is currently
structured in the fire department. In addition, many other departments also play a
significant role in emergency preparedness, which is why one central coordinating group
is vital. TriData will evaluate the department's ability to respond to a large-scale
emergency operation. The review of emergency management is designed to be a general
review only, not an in-depth assessment of all capabilities. Where major deficiencies are
noted in structure or scope, recommendations will be provided to address these issues.
Training The review of training will include looking at current staffing levels, program
design and actual delivery. We will also evaluate workloads of current staff members
assigned to training as well as the policy for selecting potential instructors. We will
assess the physical layout of the training facility and make recommendations on
immediate or long-term needs of thc department. We will look at credentials of
instructors, how instruction is delivered and the opportunity to improve efficiency. We
will assess the use of outside resources such as state training assets to lower cost and
improve efficiency. Finally, we will look at the intake process for new firefighters and
EMS providers to determine to the appropriateness of initial training.
Fleet Management The management of a fire department fleet is often neglected
inasmuch as suppression vehicles have a long service life. Strategic decisions about how
and when to replace them are difficult. When those decisions are not executed well or
when they incremental, costly repercussions often result. As part of Phase II we will look
TriData, A Division of 7 August 21304
System Planning Corporation
City of Corpus Christi, Texas - Phase I1 Proposal
at all vehicles used by the fire department including first-line apparatus, reserve
apparatus, EMS units, and staff/support vehicles.
We will assess the age and condition of all vehicles in inventory. We will evaluate the
City's current replacement policy and make specific recommendations about whether or
not the replacement strategy can be improved. We will review current purchasing policy
and the design of units to determine whether the city is getting 'best value'. We will also
review existing maintenance programs, how well station and fleet maintenance is
performed including preventative maintenance procedures and guidelines. This review
does not include an assessment of the city's fleet management operation, only those
aspects directly under the control of the fire department. Ultimately, we will make
specific recommendations on any vehicles that should be replaced in the near-term and
provide cost estimates for those vehicles. As part of the review of fire and EMS
operations we will also suggest other vehicle types if they can provide improved
flexibility or lower cost(s).

MOTION AUTHORIZING THE CI'FY MANAGER OR HIS DESIGNEE TO EXECUTE AN
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI AND MEYERS AND ASSOCIATES
FOR GOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS SERVICES
ISSUE AND BACKGROUND: The City of Corpus Christi has utilized the Washington-based
governmental relations services of Meyers and Associates for many years with outstanding results for
the City. The Meyers firm, headed by Mr. Larry Meyers and Mr. Rick Meyers, together with a number
of associates. Is viewed as one of the most successful governmental relations firms in Washington.
As a direct result of their past successes, the Meyers firm has an impressive list of clients. Of special
note for the City of Corpus Chdsti is the fact that Meyers and Associates is the Washington
governmental relations firm for the Texas A&M System and has been especially productive in
assisting Texas A&M--Corpus Chdsti.
A major city the size of Corpus Christi (and most cities of 50,000 or more) find it extremely beneficial
to have governmental relations firms represent them in Washington, DC. Staff does not believe that
we could find any firm that could represent the City of Corpus Christi on any higher level than Meyers
and Associates. For many years, Meyers and Associates has consistently provided the City with very
effective representation in Washington on a multitude of issues.
The proposed contract for the years 2004, 2005, and 2006 is virtually identical to the last three-year
contract with the firm. We believe it is important to point out that Meyers and Associations monthly
fee of $6,810 plus reasonable associated out-of-pocket expenses has remained constant for the last
six years and we feel that it is an extremely reasonable fee.
FUNDING: The funding for the contract, which is subject to appropriation each year and may be
terminated by the City Manager at any time is proposed to be expensed at 33 1/3% from the General
Fund and 66 2~3% from the Water Fund.
REQUIRED CITY COUNCIL ACTION: A contract of this type and amount requires City Council
approval
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: City Staff strongly believes that it is imperative that the
City maintain government relations services in Washington, DC. We are please to report that we do
not believe that the City could be represented better by any other firm than by Meyers and Associates,
which has an exceptional proven track record in the many years that they have represented the City.
We solicit Council's approval

nt Head Si~nature)
BACKGROUNDINFORMATION
The mission of the South Texas Institute for the Arts is to operate educational facilities
and an art museum which advances the awareness and enjoyment of visual and
performing arts.
In 1970, the Corpus Chdsti Art Foundation constructed the Art Museum of South Texas
building and conveyed it to the City. The City Council authorized the lease of the Art
Museum to the Corpus Chdsti Art Foundation, now the South Texas Institute for the
Arts, Inc., continuously since the original lease dated February 18, 1970.
In 1997 the Art Museum of South Texas (AMST), Creative Arts Center, and Center for
Hispanic Arts came together to form the South Texas Institute for the Arts (STIA). This
organization continues the AMST's affiliation with Texas A&M University - Corpus
Christi. The STIA is now the standard bearer for the arts in the Coastal Bend. Because
of this merger, STIA's outreach capabilities increased tremendously, and almost 50
years of arts programming experience was brought together.
November 21,2000, Mr. John Dykema, President of the STIA Board of Trustees, gave
a presentation to Council. Presentation showed the design from the Legaretta Y
Legaretta Architecture Firm from Mexico City. The Museum's existing facility was
26,000 square feet and the new facility will bring an additional 26,000 square feet.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
September 15, 2004
AGENDAITEM:
Public hearing to amend the Platting Ordinance of the City of Corpus Chdsti by
revising Section III. I. (3) (f) and Section V.B. (11) (c) (4) removing the requirement
for the Texas General Land Office written approval of state boundary determination
of state owned submerged lands.
b. Second Reading Ordinance to amend the P -laU~ng Ordinance of the City of Corpus
Christi by revising Section II1. I. (3) (f) and Section V.B (11) (c) (4) removing the
requirement for the Texas General Land Office written approval of state boundary
determination of state owned submerged lands
ISSUE: The City of Corpus Christi is the only coastal dry requiring the Texas General
Land Office to sign off on a boundary determination of state owned submerged lands.
This is a current plat requirement that imposes unnecessary delays resulting in a
costlier process for anyone seeking to build on property next to state owned bodies of
water. The Texas General Land Office concurs in the elimination of this requirement.
Retaining the requirement for a Licensed State Land Surveyor protects against
inadvertent private development on state owned land.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Provide opportunity for public input and adopt ordinance
to amend Platting Ordinance Section [I][. I (3) (f) and Section V. B (11) (c) (4) removing the
requirement for Texas General Land Office written approval for boundary determination of
state owned submerged lands and providing for a Licensed State Land Surveyor to
establish the determination.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends amendment to the Platting Ordinance.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
PURPOSE:
Pyle and Associates, Inc., a Licensed State Land Surveyor (LSLS) firm, requested
eliminating the time consuming step of requiring Texas General Land Office's (TGLO)
written approval on boundary determinations on state submerged land and private
property. This is currently a plat requirement that the TGLO does not support, and
unduly delays the plat processing for those lands adjacent to state waters.
In lieu of this requirement,, it is proposed that the City require certification on the plat by
a Licensed State Land Surveyor for the water boundary portion of the property. This is
consistent with the Texas Natural Resources Code Section 33.135 which states that
the boundary is subject to change and can be determined accurately only by a survey
on the ground.
In addition, the proposed amendment requires that an updated determination of the
boundary between the State-owned land and privately owned property is required at the
time of a building permit or replat.
Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the Platting Ordinance
amendment at the regularly scheduled meeting on August 25, 2004.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
PUBLIC HEARING - ZONING (City Council Action Date: September 21, 2004)
Case No.: 0604-0C Southwest Phoenix Groul~ Inc. ~DykeswilL Ltd.: A change of zoning from an
"AT" Apartment Tourist District to a "B-2A" Barrier Island Business District. The property is 4.36
acres out of Mustang Island, Section 2, Block l, Lot 25, located on the south side ofS. H. 36l and
three (3) miles north of Access Road No. 2.
Plannin;, Commission and Staff's Recommendation (08/11/04): Denial o£the "B-2A" Barrier
Island Business District, and in lieu thereof, recommends the Special Permit within the "AT"
Apartment Tourist dislhct for a retail shopping center subject to 14 conditions and site plan.
Requested Council Action: Denial of the "B-2A" Barrier Island Business Disla-ict, and in lieu thereof,
recommends the Special Permit within the "AT" Apartment Tourist Dis~ct for a retail shopping center
subject to 14 conditions and site plan and adoption of the attached ordinance.
Purl~ose of Request: Development of a retail center.
Summary:
· Applicant is requesting a change of zoning from "A-T' Apartment-Tourist District to a "B-2A"
Barrier Island District, in order to develop a retail center on a 4.36 acre area.
· The proposed retail center will consist between 15,000 to 20,000 square feet with access provided
along S.H. 361
· Surrounding existing land uses consist of undeveloped land and high-rise multiple dwellings in the
"A-T" Dis~ct. The subject property is approximately ~A rmle south of Port Aransas city limit line.
The Mustang- Padre Island Area Development Plan recognizes the need for commercial development
along S.H. 361 and provides for such opportunities along the corridor identified through the future
land use map. The future land use map identifies several large commercial nodes along S.H. 361
where future and current collector streets will intersect with S.H. 361. The subject property is not
within the nearest proposed commercial node located approximately 600 feet south of the site.
A policy statement within the Mustang-Padre Island Plan discourages strip commercial development
along S.H. 361, unless access management techniques are provided (marginal access, shared
driveways etc.). Such management design techniques are to:
1. Provide parallel marginal access roadways along S.H. 361;
2. If marginal access roadways are not feasible, access management will be achieved through the
issuance of "temporary driveway permits" and interconnected parking along highway property
frontages. As private development proceeds along this roadway the city will require development
to connect parking areas paralleling the roadway. This technique assist in minimizing driveway
conflicts and in separating slow speed local neighborhood tra~c f~om high speed through traffic;
3. Provide bicycle lanes to facililate multi-model ~ips, tourism and public safety;
4. Provide curbs, gutters and underground drainage; and
5. Provide ample landscaping in the public right-of-way to promote an ara'active, tourist-oriented
environment.

Case No. 0604-06 (Southwest Phoenix Group, Inc. & Dykeswill, Ltd.)
Page 2
The future land use map recommends tourist use for the subject property. Such use is characterized by
high density residential and high density business uses. High density business uses may range in
character between either serving the region or be targeted to the island population. Uses may include
bed and breakfasts, hotels, condominiums, marinas/vessel repair and maintenance, convention
facilihes and ancillary commercial uses.
A Special Permit developed by staff for the subject property is similar to the proposed Island Overlay
Plan presented to citizens, developers and Commissioners. The applicant has provided a site plan that
indicates building location and future access management techmques along S.H.361. Techniques
promded through the site plan are supported by the policy statements idenhfied in the Mustang-Padre
Island ADP and are a companion to the Special Permit.
ADlfiicant's Position: The applicant concurs with Planning Commission and Staff's recommendation.
Notification: Of the fifty-two notices mailed to the surrounding property owners, two (2) were returned in
favor fi.om the Mustang Tower units and 27 notices were returned in opposition plus two (2) letters from
the Mustang Towers Board of Directors. The 20% rule is not invoked. This case is considered
controversial

Area Development Plan: Mustang-Padre Island - The requested "B-2A" District is inconsistent
with the future land use map. The future and use map recommends "Tourist" development.
Tourist development is identified as a mixed use of residential and commercial uses oriented for
the tourist industry. The applicant has provided a site plan Ihat rakes into consideration building
design and future access management techniques along S.H.361. Such techniques are supported
through p~licy statements identified in the Mustang-Padre Island ADP and are recommended
through a Special Permit in the "A-T" Apartment-Tourist District.

Zoning Report
Case No. 06044)6 (Southwest Phoenix Group, Inc. & Dykeswill, Ltd.)
Page 2
Applicant is requesting a change of zoning from "A-T" Apartment-Tourist District to a
"B-2A" Barrier Island District, in order to develop a retail center on a 4.36 acre area.
The proposed retail center wilt consist between 15,000 to 20,000 square feet with access
provided along S.H. 361.
Surrounding existing land uses consist of undeveloped land and high-rise multiple dwellings
in the "A-T" District. The subject property is approximately '/~ mile south of Port Aransas
city limit line.
The Mustang- Padre Island Area Development Plan recognizes the need for commercial
development along S.H. 361 and provides for such opportunities along the corridor identified
through the future land use map. The future land use map identifies several large commercial
nodes along S.H. 361 where future and current collector streets will intersect with S.H. 361.
The subject property is not within the nearest proposed commercial node loch/ted
approximately 600 feet south of the site.
A policy statement within the Mustang-Padre Island Plan discourages strip commercial
development along S.H 361, unless access management techniques are provided (marginal
access, shared driveways etc.). Such management design techniques are to:
1. Provide parallel marginal access roadways along S.H. 361;
2. If marginal access roadways are not feasible, access management will be achieved
through the issuauce of"temporary driveway permits" and interconnected parking along
highway property frontages. As private development proceeds along this roadway the
city will require development to connect parking areas paralleling the roadway. This
technique assist in minimizing driveway conflicts and in separating slow speed local
neighborhood traffic from high speed through traffic;
3. Provide bicycle lanes to facilitate multi-model trips, tourism and public safety;
4. Provide curbs, gutters and underground drainage; and
5. Provide ample landscaping in the public right-of-way to promote an attractive, tourist-
oriented environment.
The future land use map recommends tourist use for the subject property. Such use is
characterized by high density residential and high density business uses_ High density
business uses may range in character between either serving the region or be targeted to the
island population. Uses may include bed and breakfasts, hotels, condominiums,
marinas/vessel repair and maintenance, convention facilities and ancillary commemial uses.
A Special Permit developed by staff for the subject property is similar to the proposed Island
Overlay Plan presented to citizens, developers and Commissioners. The applicant has
provided a site plan that indicates building location and furore access management techniques
along S.H.361. Techniques provided through the site plan are supported by the policy
statements identified in the Mustang-Padre Island ADP and are a companion to the Special
Permit.

The applicant requested the case be tabled until August 11,2004 during the July 28, 2004
. Planning Commission hearing until a Special Permit and site plan could be developed.
At the request of the owner's representative, on June 18, 2004 the Planning Commission tabled
the rezoning request until July 28, 2004 to clarify any notification issues. Staffreviewed their
notification procedures and found legal notice was given, per state law. State law mandates area
of lots or land extending 200 feet from the subject property are to be notified. State law does not
mandate time-share owners to be notified. Of the notices returned, 19.92 percent are in
opposition. At the time of this report, the 20 percent rule is not invoked.
While developing the Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan, numerous stakeholders
expressed and agreed that unrestricted commercial development along S.H. 36l would create an
unattractive development pattem, similar to existing commercial development along S.P.I.D.
Minimizing commercial development curb-cuts to reduce turning movements was encouraged in
order to provide for safe and efficient traffic flow along the corridor.
Denial of the "B-2A" Barrier Island Business District and in lieu, recommend the Special Permit
within the "A-T" Apartment-Tourist District for a retail shopping center, per the attached 14
conditions and site plan.
Same as Staff's recommendation.

Legal Description/Location: Being 4.36 acres out of Mustang Island, Section 2, Block 1, Lot 25,
located on the south side of S. H. 361 and three (3) miles north of Access Road No. 2
Purpose of Request: Development of a retail center.
Area Development Plan' Mustang-Padre Island The requested "B-2A "District ix inconsistent
with the future land use map The future land use map recommend$ "Tourist" development. To~.rist
development is identified as a mixed use of residential and commercial uses oriented for the tourist
industry. The applicant hax provided a site plan that takes into constderation building design a,,i Cuture
access management techmques along S.H. 361. Such techniques are supported through policy ~,,, ttments
identified in the Mustang-Padre Island ADP and are recommended through a Special Permit m ~he
"A- T" Apartment- Tourist District.
The applicant requested the case be tabled until Auguxt 11, 2004 during the duly 28, 2004
Planning Commission hearing until a Special Permit and site plan could be developed.
At the request of the owner's representative, on June 18, 2004 the Planning Commiss,'o~ ,bled
the rezoning request until duly 28, 2004 to clarify' any notification issues. Staff revie-wed their .. ~. ~ .tion
procedures and found legal notice was given, per state law. State law mandates area of lots a,
extending 200feet from the subject property are to be notified. State law does not mandate tiwe ,~
owners to be notified. Of the notices returned, 19.92 percent are in opposition. At the time of th~' ,.:port,
the 20percent rule is not invoked.
While developing the Mustang-Padre Island Area Development Plan, numerous stakeholders
expressed and agreed that unrestricted commercial development along S.H. 361 would create ,':,~
unattracttve developmenl pattern, similar to existing commercial development along XP.I.I) 3t. ,imizing
commercial development curb-cuts to reduce turning movements wax encouraged in order to p, ,.~d '/'or

applicant had been working with staff to look at development options for the property. The al,[ , ~: , ~nd
staffput together a special permit with 14 conditions that mimic the Padre Island Overlay Dl!;~rl,
development. The special pemfit addresses parking, access management techniques, m-chiteci~, ~e: ,gn
and consol, landscaping, height and setback regulations. She provided graphics of the subjec
and the surrounding area. The zoning report and tape recording are on file. Since the last met [, >2

notices were mailed Two were received in favor and 27 were received in opposition, including one from
the board of directors representing the owners within the unit. The opposition to date is at 19.92 percent.
Staff recornmended denial of the requested zoning but in lieu of a special permit subject in the "AT"
district subject to the site plan and the 14 conditions.
Chairman Berlanga asked if the association was speaking as one and if they were empowered to
speak on behalf of all of the owners. Ms. Goode-Macon stated that Mustang Towers provided documents
that gave the board power to vote for all occupants and owners. Time share owners are not recognized as
a voting unit. She clarified that the board is voting for all 52 units and lhis did not round-up the
percentage to 20 percent.
Salazar asked how many Floors could be built on the current "A-T" zoning. Ms. Goode-Macon
stated that up to four floors are allowed. With the proposed special permit, it would be limited to one
story.
Chairman Berlanga asked if the applicant and the opposition had met to discuss their concerns
and issues. Ms. Goode-Macon stated that she did not know.
Chairman Beflanga opened the public hearing
Mr. James Schneider, 15706 Curry Shark, President of Southwest Phoenix Group, Inc. came
forward and provided handouts for the Commissioners. He stated that with the current zoning, he could
put in a high rise, or low income housing without ha¼ng to come to the Commission. He stated that he
always puts in additional landscaping and quality buildings. He liked the overlay and it set the standards
bar high. The previous owner cul out 4.35 acres for commercial development. With no access or
easement to the beach, this is best use for this property. He plans to build a county market and a
restaurant which will serve the island. This is a two million dollar investment. Mustang Towers has 15
timeshares currently generate approximately $750.00 into our economy each time someone stays there.
We will be able to re-capture revenue that is currently going to Por~ Aransas by having a restaurant. It is
expected to create about 30jobs. The restaurant and market are projected to gross about 1.5 million
dollars in the first year, which would generate sales tax revenues of about $110,000.00, and there would
be substantial ad-valorem taxes. Mr. Schneider stated that he had talked to the state on giving them a
deceleration lane for the right turn. A Texas Department of Transportation, TX DOT, representative
stated that this was never requested before but could probably be done. Mr. Schneider stated that there
are many specific references in the Area Development Plan that indicate this type of development, and if
done as outlined in the plan, should be acceptable.
Mims asked for more information regarding TX DOT Mr. Schneider stated that one of the
concerns at the last meetings was U'affic on Highway 361. He stated that future development will
continue. There is a plan to improve the roads and make a multi lane median type highway. He stated
that he talked to a representative of TX DOT and asked what the possibilities were. The representative
thought it was a good idea and asked Mr. Schneider to submit his request it along with his driveway
permits. Mr. Schneider stated that they had granted a 50 foot easement for a future frontage road. They
also granted bicycle path easements. The landscaping will be quadruple of the required amount. There
will be a landscaped large pond with a bamer between the development and Mustang Towers. The water
management plan will use a recharge system under the paving so a substantial amount of water will go
back into the aquifer.
Pusley stated that there is a lot of opposition to the project, and asked Mr. Schneider if he had met
with the opposition to address their concerns. Mr. Schneider stated that he met with Mr. Van Beveran
Planning Cornrmssion Minutes

Case No. 0604-06 (Southwest Phoenix Group, Inc. & Dykeswill, Ltd.)
Page 3
and Mr. Bcll before the meeting. He stated that they tried to cut a deal with him. They told ham if he
would give up his developer rights for the tower, they would withdraw their objections to the s~ip center.
Mr. Schneider stated that he would not do this. He suggested that not everyone who was originally
opposed is still opposed. He stated that they were trying to use their in-house voting rules here. They
don't want development. We need to generate new tax revenue.
Pusley stated that he is not in favor of creating tax revenues that cause problems for others and
that he was a little disappointed that Mr. Schneider did not meet with the people in opposition to address
their issues. Mr. Schneider stated that he gave them a full packet at the last meeting and asked them to
contact him if they had any questions. They did not contact him.
Chairman Berlanga asked if Mr. Schneider had plans to build another high rise. Mr. Schneider
stated that he did and anticipated breaking ground in the spring. It would be a 1SM development.
Mr. Jerry Van Beveran, 6109 Highway 361, Certified Public Accountant, stated that he is pro-
business and is not contrary to the overall development of Padre Island. He asked if staff could round
from 19.92 percent to 20 percent. Ms. Goode-Macon stated that it could not be rounded. He ~t, ted that
he is the Vice President of the Board for the Council of Co-owners. He stated that he is familial with how
the ownership documents work. He also stated that he and Mr. Bell represent the majority of thc ~wners
of Mustang Towers. Mustang Towers has 56 units. 15 of them are owned by a timeshare organ'za!ion
called Sundial. Sundial can only vote for 15 units. He provided documents that g4ve them the a,~hority
to vote the Association. He asked the Commission to be careful about rezonmg for the development. It
affects the look and values of their property. Mr. Van Beveran showed a picture taken on July 3 ~, 2004
which showed Highway 361, the parking lot and the pond. He showed another picture of thc ~amc area
when it was flooded, and stated that drainage is an issue and that water runs over the highway. W~/er
drains to the Laguna Madre. Wildlife uses the pond and wetland aspects need to be considered. He asked
that the special permit not be approved. There should be a master plan for the Mustang Island %fore
anything is done. The increase in tax revenue would be offset by a decrease in property values.
Mr. Bob Bell, resident of Mustang Towers and President of the Council of Co-Owners stated that
he represented the board in opposition of the rezoning and special permit. He shated that the pored is a
retention pond which holds from two to four million gallons of water. It acts as a retention f, md for water
that runs off of Mustang Tower's driveway. To fill it in would reduce the retention and cause a lditional
flooding. There is a lot of ~'affic on Highway 361. Adding traffic to the area would create a hatard. He
asked that the traffic be completely defined before any development occurs on that property. M~. Bell
stated that he and Mr. Van Beveran represented all of the voters of Mustang Towers just as City Council
represents all of the people of Corpus Christi.
Chairman Berlanga asked Ms. Bailey if the issues of traffic and drainage been addressed with TX
DOT or staff and what this development would contribute to the traffic situation. Ms. Baile~ sta~cd that
the traffic concern is non-substantial as it is next to an arterial. The drainage issues have to be r,solved
with The Corp of Engineers, COE, if there are any designated or jurisdictional wetlands as well as
through the platting process. Ms. Bailey stated that staffwas comfortable recommending thc zoning
change with a special permit.
Pusley asked Ms. Bailey if environmental approval was required for this development; a~d if this
would be addressed in the platting process. Ms. Bailey stated that Mr. Schneider would have to 'xork
with the COE for any permits he may need and they will determine if there are wetlands. Pas!ey asked if

sLaffwere comfortable with the development prior to thc Overlay District being in place. Ms. Bailey
stated that the special permit mirrored the Padre Island Overlay and staff was comfortable with it.
Stone asked if the pond was designated as a retention pond or if it was a low area that had filled
with water. Ms. Bailey stated that it appears it was constructed as pond as it is very linear. Stone stated
that the pond is on Mr. Schneider's property and he could do what he wanted to with it. Ms. Bailey stated
that he can not flood his neighbors, but he does have properly rights.
Chairman Berlanga stated that this development would fall under the jurisdiction of the
appropriate agencies, wetlands, stormwater, etc.
Mr. Ro Wickam, 13729 Eagles Nest, stated that he was stakeholder in Padre/Mustang Island Area
Development Plan. There are two areas in the plan that talk about common sense. He did not think that
restricting, as far as the "AT" is concerned, is really valid. There needs to be oppom.mity for other people
to do other things with concessions. He had made a multitude of concessions in regard with what they
wanted to do over and above the Overlay Zone which has already been approved by the Planning
Commission. It seems to be common sense to solve things as far as business goes on the Island. He
stated that as you get further from the beach, properties become less valuable. It makes sense to use these
areas lo develop commercially. Staff,s taking the right track to be stnngent in mirroring the overlay
zoning with the special permit. Mr. Wickam then stated that the lack of drainage is not really this
developer's problem. The pictures shown showed that the drainage is not working anyway. He believed
there is a movement with TX DOT to redo the drainage along Highway 361. The answer to the traffic
problem is to not build anything on Highway 361. There are also movements with TX DOT to widen
Highway 361 to provide deceleration lanes and medians. The traffic concerns are only valid today.
Changes and improvements will be made. Mr. Wickam stated that this is a high quality project and they
had gone overboard to work with staffto upgrade every area of the code regarding cons~uction, parking,
landscaping, color, and design. This is a first class project that he is very proud of.
Chairman Berlanga asked if his client was in favor of the 14. conditions.
Mr. Wickam stated that he was.
Zamora asked Ms. Bailey if she had information on TX DOT's future plans for Highway 361.
Ms. Bailey stated that she had no information, hut the City's engineenng department may.
Chairman Berlanga closed the public hearing.
Smith suggested that we are only starting lo see the beginning of such requests on Mustang Island
as commercial development takes place. It is always a tough call with dynamics and complications
involved which results in some resistance to growth. We will always have similar concerns anywhere
major construction takes place. We need to find a balance point which may shift fi.om project to project.
There has been a lot of effort from the applicant to work with staff. Commissioner Smith stated that this
is a good project. He thought that the traffic problems are not as bad as some in opposition think they are.
He supports this development.
Salazar stated that he is sensitive of the effects of development to the community. With the
restrictions placed and agreement by the applicant, this is a good project. In regards to drainage, the pond

could handle flooding. The developer is going to deepen lhe pond to accommodate for the overflow in
the pond. These issues will be addressed m the platting phase, now should focus on zoning.
A motion was made by Smith and seconded by Salazar for denial of the "B-2A" and in lieu of,
recommend approval of a special permit within the "A-T" district for a retail shopping center per the 14
conditions and site plan_
The motion passed unanimously.

The plants listed below are recommended for the coastal zone of Corpus Chdsti. They
are chosen because they have a lush, "tropical" look while being cold hardy (except as
noted) and do not require excessive water and fertilizer once established (except as
noted). These plants may not be practical for all areas of Corpus Christi, therefore the
water, sunlight, wind and salt conditions of each specific plant should be considered
before its placement on the Landscape plan. Plants not specified on this list are allowed
if they meet the intent of this ordinance and are suitable for the environment in which
they are to be planted.

Case No.: 0804-02, Housinl~ 2000: A change of zoning from an "AB" Professional Office District,
"A-l' Apartment House District with a "SP" Special Permit, "A-I" Apartment House Dis~ct, and
"A-2" Apartment House Dis~ct to a "B-5" Primary Business Disl~ict. The property is in Hampton,
Block 2, Lots 1 through 12, Furman, Block 2, Lots I through 11, Ryan Tract, Lot O, Bluff Front, Lot
T, Furman, Block l, Lots IA, 2A, 3, 4., and 5, located along Furman Avenue between South
Carancahua and South Water Street.
Planninn Commission and Staff's Recommendation (08/11/04}: Approval.
Requested Council Action: Approval of the "B-5" Primary Business District and adoption oftbe
attached ordinance.
Purl}ose of Request: Apartment development complex - Three Phases.
Summa~:
· Applicant requesting a change of zoning to "B-5" Primary Business District for mid-rise apartment
development. Existing development is planned for removal.
The subject property consists of nine acres within a three block area adjacent to Water Street, South
Tancahua Street, Furman Avenue and South Carancahua Street, all being collector streets, and
Hancock Street and Coleman Street, as local streets.
Proposed plans indicate the development of the apartment complex that will span over three phases.
Phase I includes the block between Water Street and South Carancahua Street with Furman Street to
the north and Hancock Street to the south. Phase II property contains the majority of the block area
between Water Street and South Carancahua with Coleman Street to the north and Furman Avenue to
the south. Phase III of the subject property lies between South Carancahua Street and South Tancahua
Street with Furman Avenue to the north and Hancock Street to the south.
The design of the proposed apartment development is to reflect old world architecture. Phase I will
consist of 158 units contained within seven 4-story buildings. Of that total, 120 units are designated
as one-bedroom and 38 units as two-bedrooms. Units within the complex will range between 750 to
1,259 square feet. A three and one-half story parking garage is planned for residents of the complex
as well as a minimum of 40 storage units for residents on site. Other amenities within the
development will include a waterscaped swimming pool, clubhouse, fitness facility and a 3,000
square foot business center.
Agenda Memorandum

Case No. 08044)2 (Housing 2000)
Page 2
Anticipated traffic generated by Phase I of the apartment development is 1,061 average daily trips
along the adjacent street systems. Water/wastewater demands are projected at 39,500 gallons per day
with a solid waste demand of 1,406 lbs daily for Phase I. Traffic and service demands should be
similar for Phases II and III
· Phase II is planned like that of Phase I but with fewer units. It will consist of five 4-story buildings.
Upon completion of Phase I, Phase I1 is anticipated to commence.
Number of buildings and units for Phase Ill apartment development has not been determined. Basic
architecture design of Phase I and II will be utilized during this Phase. Upon completion of Phases I
and II, Phase III is anticipated to commence.
Vanou.s apartment designations on the subject property require a setback of twenty-five feet from all
property lines and limit the height of buildings to 3 to 4-stories. "AB" Dis~cts of the subject property
· allow for a ten (10) foot setback, but limit the height of structures to 3-stories. The "B-5" District
is requested by the applicant in order to reduce setback requirements for the development and to
allow 4-stories on the entire property. The "B-5" District does not require setbacks nor restricts the
height of buildings. Per the development plan for Phases I and II, ten (10) and fifteen (15) foot
setbacks are proposed for the apartment development. Additionally, the "B-5" District offers
commercial activity that could be incorporated into the overall apartment development plan.
The "B-5" District is consistent with the South Central future land use map. Staffdiscussed the
advantages ora P.U.D. to ensure high quality residential units in downtown. The developer indicated
that investment and financing decisions were based on the "B-5" zoning, and any change could
jeopardize the project. Staffis strongly supportive of enhanced housing opportunities in downtown
and the economic benefits that accrue from populating the central area.
Al~olicant's Position: The applicant concurs with Planning Comrmssion and Staff's recommendation.
Notification: Of the one hundred seven notices mailed to the surrounding property owners, one (1) was
returned in favor and none were returned in opposition. Although the 20% rule is not in effect at this
time, this case may be considered controversial due to neighborhood concerns on other uses
permitted in the "B-5" District. The applicant has agreed to elinllnate by deed restrictions the
more ouerous mini-storage, bars, warehousing, outside storage, manufacturing and billboard uses
as noted by the residents.

the development plan is to be done in three phases. The First phase will contain 158 units in seven
buildings which will each be four stories high and have an Old World design. The development would
generate approximately 1,000 daily trips. Phase II will be started when phase I is complete, and Phase III
will begin when Phase II is complete. The applicant is requesting "B-5" zoning because in that it does not
limit itself to set backs or restrict building heights.

Goode-Macon stated that it did Chairman Berlanga asked if the applicant had any indication of having
huge signs. Ms. Goode-Macon stated that none were indicated.

land was left in tact in a trust called the Morris L. Lichtenstein Jr. Foundation. Mr. Grossrnan met Mr.
Jim Chamquist, President of Sage Properties, Inc. who wanted to develop a property in Corpus Christi.
Mr. Charnquist is a native of Corpus Christi. He had developed several very successful and lasting
landmark properties. He saw the subject property and became as excited about the location as Mr.

Grossman was. Mr. Grossman stated that it has always been a dream of his to be a part of
rehabilitating the Flour Bluff and downtown areas back to the 1950's and 1960's renaissance period when
there was a lot of hustle and bustle downtown. He stated that in order to increase foot traffic downtown
we need to have housing downtown that is first class. He stated that we must attract mid to upper income
to the downtown area to get additional community development in the area.
Mr. Jim Charnquist, 6303 Beverly Hills, Houston, Texas, stated that he was President of Sage
Properties and developer of the project. He came forward and stated he had been a developer for 35
years. He stated that the co developer on this project is Fred Morgan, also from Corpus Christi. He
stated that between the two of them, they had developed 30,000 to 40,000 units. Mr. Charnquist provided
a PowerPoint presentation and showed the site plan. He described Phase I and gave details of the
complex which consisted of one and two bedroom apartments that would rent from $795.00 to $1,250.00
monthly. There would be a four story parking garage incorporated within the units. It will have a very
large swimming poor with a deck, a lot of landscaping, interiors will have nine and ten foot ceilings with
crown molding. The apartments will have garden tubs and granite type countertops. He provided slides of
a similar project he had completed in Houston which showed the architectural concept that included brick
and stucco buildings, awnings, pitched roofs, red paver sidewalks, and lush landscaping.
Mims stated that she thinks this development is something we have needed for along time.
Mr. Charnquist stated that he wanted the "B-5" zoning so that he could be flexible if after Phase I
is finished, he sees he needs to make changes. He stated that he did not have definitive plan for Phase Ill,
but he did want it to have the appearance of an Italian Village.
A citizen at who resides at 226 Wilchard. stated that he had known Mr. Charnquist and Mr.
Grossman for over 50years. He had great faith in their integrity. He stated that the Lichtenstem
Foundation is to assist and aid people in South Texas with things such as donations to Del Mar, the
performing arts, scholarships, etc.
Mr. Bacilio Bachor, owner of Phase III of the property, came forward and stated he had moved
here from Argentina. He loved this property because when he moved here years, ago on Christmas day,
the church on the Phase III property welcomed them. At some point, the Baptist church moved To a: new
location. Mr. Bachor purchased a portion of the property and had four different religious groups there
over the next five years. The property was not producing much income from these groups. Mr.
Grossman approached him with this project. This will become a great place for people to live and do
business. He stated he is grateful that this development is something the City can be proud of.
Mr. Michael Dodson, owner of the block adjacent to the subject property stated he had no
opposition to the project and could see no downside.
Chairman Berlanga asked what is total dollar investment was for this project. Mr. Grossman
stated about 35M. Mr. Charnquist stated that Phases I and 1I were about 35M. To include Phase Ill
would be closer to 45 million.
Mr. Jerry Dubrey, 823 South Water Street, commended the presentation and supported the
project. He did have some reservations about zoning the property "B-5". He stated we could address
setbacks and as an addition to current zoning. He questioned the 78 notices that were sent. He stated that
of the 29 property owners in his building, none received notice.

Mr. Steve Burkett, 823 South Water, resides in The Executive House. His only issue with the
project is "B-5" zoning. He slated we should give the minimum zoning necessary to do the project. "B-
5" would allow anything the law allows.
Mr. Jim Scott, 823 South Water Street, stated that he is for the project but against "B-5" zoning.
It is not good for the conu'nunity or necessary for the area
Chairman Berlanga asked what his objection was for "B-5" zoning.
Mr. Scott stated the ability to go to other commercial relationships in the area. The roadways are
not capable of accommodating commercialization. Furman Street is narrow and the residential area there
is not very nice. The entrance onto Furman is heavily congested. Water Street is taking the diversion
from the work being done on Shoreline.
Ms. Gay Gillson, l0 Rock Creek, slated that she was an attorney downtown. She is against the
realignment of Shoreline. She stated that it will be dangerous and not is conducive to foot traffic.
Ms. Bailey slated that maybe private deed restrictions could be considered.
Mr. Charnquist stated that he needed "B-5" zoning for the reasons he had stated, lie had no
intention to put up billboards.
Salazar shated that when Fun Trackers wanted to develop, they requested "I-2" zoning. They
could not develop without it because they could not get funding without solid zoning with no restrictions.
He would hate for Corpus Christi to lose this opportunity for housing. He did not think these people
would put bars, billboards, etc. He supports "B-5" zoning and understands the issues. This is necessary
for the downtown area.
Mr. Gunning stated that staffhad met with the applicant and discussed zoning possibilities. This
type of thing has happened with many cases, and we just need to move forward. This puts a cloud on our
ability to move forward with development. Sometimes we need to n-ust they do what they say they w~ll
do. The City has the authority to down-zone should a project not go through as planned.
Stone stated that he agreed with staff. A Developer would not put up billboards or nightclubs
because no one would want to want to live there. People would not move into of this of this type of
quality development if it had these things. The developer does not want that.
The public hearing was closed.
A motion was made by Salazar and seconded by Mims to recommend approval of"B-5" zoning
as submitted. Motion passed unanimously.

The Coastal Bend Regional Park
Located on the Southside of Corpus Christi
Project Overview
A regional oasis designed to enhance the recreational and outdoor
activities of South Texas
1600 acres of multi-use recreational park, populated with towering
trees, native shrubbery and flowering plants, and many recreational
sectors to appeal to visitors of every age and interest
The CBRPF oversees the acquisition of land, the short and long term
planning of the Park, and the maintenance of common areas. Each
sector of the park will be leased to tenants who have groups and
objectives already in place, such as the Asian Gardens and the
Museum District projects.
Project Overview
The Park is designed and patterned on other famous
recreational parks, such as Central Park in New York City
and Balboa Park in San Diego, CA. These parks were
built specifically for the enjoyment of visitors, from
frisbee in the field to jogging tree-lined paths. The Park is
not designed as a wildlife refuge nor a botanical garden,
although the building of a truly recreational park that is
forested will necessitate many plantings and attract fauna
indigenous to the area.
Main Entrance

At this time, this sector of the
Park is our highest priority and
is being coordinated with the
Asian Cultures Museum &
Educational Center.
Museum District
Patterned on the Museum
District of Balboa Park in
San Diego, some
concepts considered are a
Museum of Catholic
Cultures ~n the Americas
and a "Kinney's Landing
Village," a smaller
version of interactive,
historical activities like
those of colonial
Williamsburg, VA.
Equestrian Facility
Mount your horse and
canter down 20+ miles of
trails under a canopy of
trees and bordered by the

This sector of the Park
includes stables to board
your horse, riding lessons
and a small arena for a
posse area.
Kid's Park
This green space area
includes play equipment,
sand boxes and lots of
room to run, jump and
play, while shaded by
leafy, green trees.
The Skate Park for our
older children who love
to roller blade, skate and
skateboard guarantees a

gathering areas, as well as tent
camping sites.
The Scouting World sector
will include climbing walls,
ROPES courses and outdoor
skill areas for both boys and

Adjacent to Scouting
World, this heavily
forested area is designed
for archery and arms
enthusiasts and includes

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
BACKGROUND:
Urban Engineering, on behalf of Dawn Melancon, Arnold Krueger, and the Baptist Foundation of Texas, is
reguesting the abandonment and vacation of a 27,082-square foot portion of an undeveloped and
unsurfaced 60' wide dedicated public right-of-way (Seabreeze Ddve) out of Lot A, Block 2, and Lot A,
Block 3, Southbay Addition Annex. The undeveloped ROW to be abandoned and vacated is located in a
"B-4" General Business District.
Seabreeze Ddve extends approximately 451 L.F. north of South Padre Island Ddve and is located
approximately 500-feet east of the Southbay Drive street right-of-way, between Southbay Drive and the
Cayo Del Oso. The said portion of public right-of-way is being abandoned and vacated due to pubtic
interest exl~nguished and to allow for the future consLruction of a mutt-level apartment complex that will be
butit over the existing right-of-way.
Dr. Guthde and Mrs. Guthrie, adjacent property owners where the undeveloped public right.-of-way dead-
ends, are opposed to the abandonment and vacating of the public right-of-way because the closing of [he
undeveloped right-of-way would hinder the accessibility to their property and affect the quality of access.
City staff met with Dr. and Mrs. Guthde and informed them that they would still be able to have
accessibility to their property from two other streets adjacent to their property, Cayo Drive and Seashore
Drive.
Dr Guthde has access to the remainder of his property that is zoned for apartments, but without
Seabreeze Drive, it is less than ideal. If this development proceeds, it makes the rear property less suited
to single family development, yet access is limited to local street if Seabreeze Ddve is abandoned.
Generally, apartments are placed on collector streets due to density and resulting traffic.
The preferred answer would be for alternative access to be provided to the rear A-2 property. That was
not an acceptable option to the developer, however, it would resolve the neighborhood concerns of future
apartment traffic funneled through a local street.
All public and franchised utilities were contacted regarding this closure request and no objections were
received by any of the utility companies.
Staff recommends approval with secondary means of access provided to rear property. Road
cons[ruction costs to be borne equally. Staff also recommends that the Owners pay the fair market value
of $ 27,085.00 for the abandonment and vacation of the total 27,082-square foot portion of Seabreeze
Ddve street right-of-way. The owner is still in negotiations with the City regarding the conditions of the
right.-of-way abandonment.

information package (consisting of a petition, preliminary cost estimate, letter from TXDOT, and a
utility and zoning map) was handed to staff at the outset of the 9-14-04 council meeting.

Board Members of the Corpus Chdsti Community Improvement Corporation
George K. Noe, General Manager
September 14, 2004
Request for Annual Meeting of the Corpus Christi Community Improvement
Corporation (CCClC) on September 21, 2004
I am requesting that the annual meeting of the Corpus Christi Community Improvement
Corporation (CCCIC) be held dudng the Council meeting of September 21, 2004 to consider the
following items:
Revisions to Loan and Grant Rehabilitation Handbook: The Loan and Grant
Rehabiliation Handbook is periodically reviewe_d to provide the Rehabilitation Program with a
handbook that is both current and clarifies current procedures to be~ter implement the
programs. Many revisions are minor procedural or operational in nature and are being
proposed in order to clarify, but do not change the intent or meaning. Policy changes are
considered major and as such are presented in the "Summary of Major Changes"
attachment for action by the Board. We are requesting approval of revisions to the Loan
and Grant Rehabilitation Handbook that includes revising, adding, and deleting chapters in
the handbook. Amending the Handbook requires CCCIC action and approval.
Appointments to Loan Review Committee: The Loan Review Committee members are
appointed by the CCCIC and are responsible for reviewing and approving loan applications.
The Committee is composed of eleven (11) members appointed to staggered terms. The
Committee is composed of five (5) members from the following professions: legal, real
estate, contractor/homebuilder, architect, engineer, and residential home designer. The
remaining six (6) members shall be two from financial institutions, one from health and
human services, and three from the community at large.
Currently, the Loan Review Committee has two vacant positions that need to be filled; one
member from financial and one member from health and human services.
Additionally, Mr. Barry Lobell is up for reappointment and is requesting to be reappointed to the
Committee.
SUMMARY OF MAJOR CHANGES
TO
2004 LOAN AND GRANT REHABILITATION HANDBOOK
SUMMARY OF CHANGES
There are several incidental revisions to the handbook that are being made just for clarification
purposes but the intent and meaning did not change. In reviewing the handbook, items that are
being deleted will have a strikeout line through the word or words and the new word will be in
bold print.
Major revisions to the handbook are listed below for quick reference and staff recommends the
proposed changes be approved. The underlined word or words in the proposed section indicate
where the revision is being made.
1. Page 16 Chapter 3 Eligibility Requirements
Current: Paragraph 7
Loans will not be made to individuals, households or for housing units which
have previously received a rehabilitation loan in excess of $20,000 within the
last fifteen years. An Emergency Repair Grants will not be considered
rehabilitation loans for this purpose. (1/16/86)
Proposed:
Loans will not be made to households which have previously received a
rehabilitation loan within the last fifteen years that were in excess of $20,000.
An Emergency Repair Grants will not be considered rehabilitation loans for this
purpose.
Reason: This is to clarify how many times a household may apply for a rehabilitation loan
and eliminates the one-time rehabilitation of a unit. There have been ,nstances
where a unit has been previously rehabilitated but now has a different uwner. As
presently written the program does not allow us to provide a loan to these
individuals or households that previously received a loan or units that were
previously rehabilitated through the program.
2. Page 19 Chapter 5 LIMITATIONS ON AMOUNT OF LOAN
Current: Paragraph (a)
$30,000 per dwelling unit. ($35,000 for loans involving refinancing of existing
mortgage.) Loan limits for demolition replacement units shall be set at a
maximum of $35,000, which may or may not involve refinancing of existing
mortgage.
Proposed: Change to loan limits as follows:
$40,000 per dwellinq unit involvinq rehabilitation includinq reflnancinq.
$55,000 per two bedroom dwellinq unit involvinq demolition and replacement.
$65,000 per three bedroom dwellinq unit involvinq demolition and
replacement.
$70,000 per four bedroom dwellinq unit involvinq demolition and replacement.
Reason: Construction costs have increased over the years we are making an adjustment
to the loan amounts. Currently we are unable to provide loans to construct 3 or 4
bedroom homes. Because ot the current loan limits a homeowner who needs a 3
or4 bedroom house must come up with their own funds to make up the difference.
Many times these families are unable to come up with the required funds and we
are then unable to assist them.
3. Page 39 Chapter 14
Current: Paragraph 10 (a) and (b)
a. Should the Owner and Contractor be unable to resolve a dispute both parties
agree to submit to dispute resolution through the Nueces County Dispute
Resolution Center/Mediation. NSD will pay the application fee and as such
will determine when disputes will be referred to the Dispute Resolution Center
for mediation. Copy of any documents related to the case shall be provided to
NSD for its files, regardless of full or partial resolution. Neither party is
required to be represented by an attorney. If either party selects to obtain an
attorney, the cost incurred will be their responsibility.
b. Any disputes arising out of this contract which are not resolved at Dispute
Resolution will be mediated by Community Development. If dispute is resolved
NSD will obtain an agreement signed by both parties.
Proposed:
a.
As a prerequisite to filing a lawsuit, or prematurely ending this contract, the
Owner and Contractor agree to first submit all disputes to non-binding
mediation with the Nueces County Dispute Resolution Center. An NSD
supervisor's attendance, as a non-party, at the mediation session is required
for assistance with the mediation process and for providing copies of any
necessary documents. A copy of any mediated settlement agreement,
signed by the Owner and Contractor, must be provided to NSD for inclusion
in the file.
Reason: This removes the City from the business of mediating a private contract
between the Owner and Contractor.
4. Page 51 Chapter 22 Demolition and Replacement Housing Program
Current: Paragraph 1
General This program is designed to execute the demolition of dilapidated or
substandard owner-occupied units unsuitable for rehabilitation, and also to provide
2
for suitable replacement units that are decent, safe, and sanitary. The program is
based on a non-acquisition activity and new single-family unit replacement as
prescribed under 24 CFR, Part 570, Community Development Block Grants,
Subpart K, "Other Program Requirements," and Section 570.606. The assistance
is initiated at the request of the recipients and requires their signing of a voluntary
demolition contract. The City, in return, provides assistance in the form of a grant,
the proceeds which may be used to provide temporary relocation payments; and a
loan to provide the necessary funds to develop the replacement unit. The
contractor for such construction will be chosen by the owner after the appropriate
bidding process has been accomplished.

provides assistance in the form of a grant, the proceeds which may be dsed to
provide temporary relocation payments; and a loan to provide the necessary funds
to develop the replacement unit. Relocation assistance is provided to the
homeowner in the form of a qrant. The relocation qrant is estimated to ranqe [rom
$3,000 to $7,000 with an occasional relocation qrant exceedinq this amount The
contractor for such construction will be chosen by the owner after the appropriate
bidding process has been accomplished.
Reason: We are restating the language in this section to clarify the amount of the
relocation grant. The original handbook never listed a relocation grant a,qount but
in practice total relocation costs were averaging $2,000 per homeown~r. Rents
have got up over the years and an adjustment needs to be made. We anticipate
relocation costs to range from $3,000 to $7,000 with an occasional relocation grant
exceeding this amount. We are recommending a range of $3,000 to $7,000 in
order to provide a workable range.
5. Page 60 Chapter 28 CCCIC Rental Rehabilitation Loan Program
Current: Paragraph 5
The rental rehabilitation loan amounts used for any project may not exceed the
maximum of the following dollar amounts for dwelling units. There will be a 2 to 1
dollar match.
a. $10,000 per unit on projects involving 10 or less units. The maximum loan
amount is $100,000.
b. $5,000 per unit for projects involving more than ten units and total subsidy
cannot exceed $100,000.
c. Priority will be given to projects that will provide the most benefit and that have
a substantial inject of funds from the owner/investor.
Proposed:
The rental rehabilitation loan amounts used for any project may not exceed the
maximum of the following dollar amounts for dwelling units.
a. $10,000 per unit on projects involving 10 or less units. The maximum loan
amount is $100,000.
b. $5,000 per unit for projects involving more than ten units and total subsidy
cannot exceed $100,000.
c. Priodty will be given to projects that will provide the most benefit and that have
a substantial inject of funds from the owner/investor.
Reason: Eliminating the match requirement from the program all together will remove a
barrier that currently causes some projects to fall out due to the applicant being
unable to secure the match funds.
6. INSERT
New chapter "American Dream Down Payment Initiative Program".
This is a new program created by HUD that is designed to expand homeownership by
assisting first time homebuyers with the purchase of a home. The program allows
assistance up to $10,000 or six percent of the purchase price whichever is greater for
down payment, closing costs and rehabilitation. Total program funds used for
rehabilitation cannot exceed 20 percent of the total grant received by the city. Under this
program the homebuyer may not have owned a home within the last three years.
Council approved $5,000 in the form of a forgivable loan for down payment and closing
cost only. (8-17-04)
7. DELETE
The following chapters will be deleted [rom the Handbook.
- Chapter 20 Paving Assessment Grant Program
HUD has determined that on street projects funded with CDBG funds the City
should not be assessing the homeowners. This program provided a grant to the
homeowner to help them pay their assessment. Based on HUD's determination
staff recommends terminating the program and removing this chapter from the
handbook.
4
- Chapter 26 HOME Tenant Assistance Program
This program provided up to 24 months of rental assistance to Iow income
tenants, who were experiencing financial problems, due to circumstances beyond
their control, such as job lost or major medical problems. The intent of this HUD
program was to keep the household in place and prevent the household from
becoming homeless. The program was based on the premise that a household
should be able to recover financially within the 24 month period. A previous
Council voted not to fund this program because they believed this was the
Housing Authodty's function. There has never been official action taken
terminating this program and removing from the handbook. Staff recommends
terminating the program and removing it from the handbook.
- Chapter 29 HOME FIRST TIME HOMEBUYER MCC PROGRAM
This program was created to work in conjunction with the Mortgage Credit
Certificate Program and the Single Family Revenue Bond Program. Under
this program a homebuyer would be assisted with a $1,000 forgivable loan. This
program was designed in a manner whereby the homebuyer receiving assistance
through this program could not be assisted through our $3,000 Homebuyer
Assistance program. This was not helping homebuyers so a change was made to
allow them to take advantage of the Mortgage Credit Certificate Program and the
$3,000 Homebuyer Assistance Program. Because of this change this chapter is
now obsolete and staff recommends eliminating the program and removing form
the handbook.
Renumbering of handbook chapters will occur due to the elimination of the
aforementioned chapters from the handbook. If approved the effective date for the
implementation of these revisions shall be October 1, 2004.
