Mayor Garrett opened discussion on Item 6 regarding a Title V grant for the Mtmicipal
Juvenile Court and Juvenile Assessment Center. Mr. Abel Alonzo asked if the cash match for the
grant was being used for personnel costs Municipal Court Judge Deame King replied negatively,
saying since the Juvenile Assessment Center did not have the funds for the cash match required to
apply for the Title V grant, they were using a portion of her salary as the match. Mr. Alonzo also
asked for more information on the interpreter fees. Judge King replied the law required the court
make language interpreters available as needed. The Municipal Juvenile Court regularly used sign
language and Spanish interpreters, and had to pay them what they charged_ City Secretary Chapa
polled the Council for their votes as follows:

Mayor Garrett opened discussion on Item 12 regarding the convention center expansion and
rehabilitation project. Regarding Item 12.c., Mr. Alonzo noted this was the twelfth change order for
this project. He asked if there was a way staff could be more proactive, and mentioned that Nueces
County didn't seem to have as many change orders. He suggested the City could learn fi.om the
County. Mr. Chesney took exception to Mr. Alonzo's comments, pointing out that the County didn't
engage in as many construction projects as the city. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for

Mayor Garrett opened discussion on Item 13 regarding the city's financial policies. Mr.
Alonzo thanked the city for the financial policies because they led to the city's improved bond
ratings, and said the city should make a better effort to inform the community about their
achievement.
Mr. Kinnison stated that during the Council retreat, the Council had discussed reviewing the
financial policies to see if they wanted to take a different direction (e.g. planned tax rate reductions)_
He did not have a problem with passing the policies today, but noted they may need to be amended
a~er the Council review. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:
13. RESOLUTION NO. 026265

Mayor Garrett referred to Item 15.a., and a motion was made, seconded and passed to open
the public hearing on the following item:
15.a..
Public hearing amending the Comprehensive Plan of the City of Corpus Christi ("The City")
by adopting the Corpus Christi Future Land Use Plan and amending the Corpus Christi
Urban Transportation Plan (Ordinance 025251) for the City and its extxaterfitofial
jurisdiction; establishing a unified Future Land Use and Transportation Plan for coordination
of land use, zoning, subdivision development and capital improvements consistent with the
public interest; amending related elements of the Comprehensive Plan of the City.
Assistant Director of Development Services Michael Gunning explained the adoption of the
Future Land Use Plan map was the second of three phases of a process to combine the Ci~s Area
Development Plans into a un/fled Comprehensive Plan document. He said a comprehensive plan
illustrating future land uses and transportation for the city and extra-temtorial jurisdiction on a single
map benefitted the development commurdty and the general public by providing a guide to future
land use and development decisions.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
May 10, 2005 - Page 8
Mr. Gunning explained the first phase of the plan was completed on March 25, 2003 with
the adoption of the Urban Transportation Plan. The 2003 Urban Transportation Plan combined all
of the transportation plan maps from the Area Development Plans into a single unified txansportafion
plan map. He said it was necessary to update and amend the 2003 Urban Transportation Plan to
assure consistency with the proposed future land use plan.
Likewise, Mr. Gunning said the future land use plan map would also combine future land
uses of the Area Development Plans into a single map, incorporating the following elements:
rezonings that have occurred since 1994; approved plats that indicate a future use different from the
adopted area plans; and for some areas without an adopted area plan, future land uses had been
recommended. Mr. Gunning said the proposed plans primarily represented a change in plan format
rather than major changes to land use or transportation policy_ He showed several slides of each of
the Area Development Plans. He also reviewed a chart depicting the apportionment of future land
uses in the city and ETJ as follows: 59 percent - residential use; 6 percent - commercial; 14 percent
- industrial; and 21 percent - public/semi-public_ Mr. Scott asked if the city's public/semi-public
apportionment was in line with other communities. Director of Development Services Barbara Holly
replied negatively, saying this number was high compared with other commumties, but she pointed
out the city's beaches were included in this percentage as park land_
Mr Kelly noted there was a significant amount of land being projected to be traditional
neighborhoods going south of F.M. 624. He asked if there were any plans to provide infi'astructure
in tkis area, particularly sewer and drainage. City Engineer Angel Escobar replied the Allison
Wastewater Master Plan provided for the wastewater master planning for this entire area_ Drainage
needs would be handled by a series of drainage ditches west of Hwy. 77 being proposed under the
Drainage Ditch Master Plan, which would ultimately drain into the Nueces River basin.
Mr. Gunning discussed a number of proposed amendments to the Transportation Plan, saying
the city had coordinated the plan development closely with the Metropolitan Planning Organization
(IMPO). The amendments were designed to keep plans current with new street development and to
allow flexibility in design of street cross sections by 1) removing the design cross sections fi-om the
plan and 2) providing for minor deviations to the plan without requiring a plan amendment process_
Mr. Gunning reported staff surveyed nine cities to determine what mechanisms those
communities used to identify and acquire transportation plan rights-of-way. The survey showed that
all the cities used a transportation or thoroughfare plan in combination with subdivision/unified
development code ordinances to require dedication or reserve future rights-of-way. He reviewed a
number of statistics regarding right-of-way dedications on subdivision plats_
Mr. Gnnning said the Future Land Use and Transportation plans were distributed to the
development community and their input was included. Their comments were as follows: create
options for narrower pavement width to slow traffic down; consider reducing the number of cross
sections; and reducing the fight-of-way on Rural Cross Sections to be consistent with Urban Cross
Sections. In addition, Mr. Gunning said the Transportation Advisory Committee and the Planning
Commission also reviewed and recommended the Future Land Use and Urban Transportation Plans.
Mr. Scott stated Mr. Paul Schexnailder had used a Planned Unit Development, or "pLrD",
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
May 10, 2005 - Page 9
to obtain narrower stxeets on his development on Padre Lsland. He thought the PUD seemed to be
a way to work around the city's current ordinances, and was a long, drawn-out process. Ms. Holly
replied the PUD accomplished more than just narrower rights-of-way; rather, it allowed for different
design standards that put a very unique look on that area. Mr. Scott remarked the developers he had
spoken with seemed to dislike the PUD process. Ms. Holly replied the PUD was worrisome to local
developers because it was cumbersome process in Austin, but staff needed to train them that ia
Corpus Christi, it was friendly process.
Mr. Gunning also mentioned a number of map street alignments changes in the
Transportation Plan. He said Flour Bluff Drive was being recommended for realignment to allow
for runway expansion for the Nav-fs new jet trainer. Cimarron Boulevard was being recommended
for termination at Oso Creek. Oso Parkway was recommended for termination of the Oso Parkway
Street at Holly Road with the bike trail continuing along the Cayo Del Oso consistent with the Bay
Trail BI Project. Finally, he said one pedestrian beach accessway was being recommended for
elimination because there was already a beach access point in the Port Aransas city limits that met
the separation requirement for beach access.
Mr_ Scott asked for a status on the extension of SPUR 3, which was important to Texas A&M
University - Corpus Christi. City Engineer Escobar replied stalTwas working with the developers
who owned the land in that area. He said the city had a proposed layout that had been presented to
the local TxDOT engineer, and then staffwould develop a cost estimate for the project. Mr. Escobar
stated Special Assistant to the City Manager Tom Utter anticipated the city would be making a
presentation to the State TxDOT office in Austin regarding the project in late July or early August.
Mr. Scott asked staffto encourage TxDOT to accelerate this project.
Mr. Scott asked what type of road system the city anticipated on SH 361 from Padre Island
to Port Aransas. Mr. Gunning replied the city was working with TxDOT to reduce the required
fight-of-way from 260 feet to 200 feet. but the issue had not yet been resolved. He said the
developers and staff'felt aa adequate cross-section could be established with 200 feet of right-of-way.
There were other issues, however, related to the possible relocation of CPL/AEP power lines. Senior
Planner Bob Payne explained they wanted to move their power lines from the middle of the island
up to the west edge of the fight-of-way. Mr. Payne said the city needed to determine how much
fight-of-way was needed before they made their move. There were also issues related to drainage
needs, because of proposed drainage swells on either side of the road.
In conclusion, Mr_ Gunning said both documents were intended to be guides for
development. At the same time, the use of a single planning document would facilitate the city's
ability to amend the plan as needed.
Mayor Gar~ett asked for public comment. Mr. Bill Kopecky, 3609 Topeka, spoke regarding
his concern that the development on Texas A&M University - Corpus Christi could generate multi-
story buildings which would conflict with airspace needs for NAS Corpus Chrisu.
Ms. Cooper made a motion to close the public hearing, seconded by Mr. Scott, and passed,
City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:

15.b. FIRST READING ORDINANCE
Amending the Comprehensive Plan of the City of Corpus Christi ("The City") by adopting
the Corpus Christi Future Land Use Plan and amending the Corpus Christi Urban
Transportation Plan (Ordinance 025251) for the City and its extraterritorial jurisdiction;
establishing a tmified Future Land Use and Transportation Plan for coordination of land use,
zoning, subdivision development and capital improvements consistent with the public
interest; amending related elements of the Comprehensive Plan of the City.
The foregoing ordinance was passed and approved on fi~t reading with the following vote:
Garrett, Chesney, Cooper, Garcia, Kelly, Kinrfison, Marez, Noyola, and Scott, voting "Aye".
Mayor Garrett referred to Item 16.a., and a motion was made, seconded, and passed to open
the public hearing on the following item:
Public hearing to consider a resolution adopting the Corpus Christi MPO Bicycle and
Pedestrian Plan as a guide to the Tr;xnsportation Plan and Oso Parkway Plan, an element of
the Comprehensive Plan for the City and its extraterritorial jurisdiction; establishing a guide
for bicycle and pedestrian improvements and for coordination of land use and capital
improvements consistent with the public interest.
Director of the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Tom Niskala stated the proposed
Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan was intended to be a guide to the Transportation Plan and Oso Parkway
Plan. He explained the MPO was an agency that facilitated the coordination of transportation
planning for federally funded, multimodal highway and transit projects in the urban area. He said
the MPO was fortunate to receive funding for additional transportation project research, a portion
of which funded the development of a regional bicycle and pedestrian plan. The plan focused on
developing a comprehensive program of infrastructure improvements throughout the city, Nueces
County, and San Patricio County.
Mr. Niskala said their research began by examining the existing conditions in the community
based on a public participation effort headed by Ms. Gretchen Arnold with Texas A&M University -
Corpus Christi. Ms. Arnold provided a summary of the public's comments on existing conditions.
First, she said the public did not believe bicycling was included in the Wansportation plan because
there were no direct, safe routes to areas of employment, shopping, education, and recreation. She
said lanes disappeared or outside width was not available. Second, they felt bicycling was not
planned for in maintenance operations because margins or lanes were poorly maintained, and re-
surface trealxnents were inappropriate. Third, she said Corpus Christi and the surrounding region
was considered to be inaccessible and amfriendly for bicycling according to various print media
sources. She said this jeopardized the city's air quality and public health, as well tourism dollars.
Ms. Arnold briefly described the public planning process used to obtain public input. She
said a ride-along was conducted with cyclists and various local entries, a survey, a draft plan review
by user groups, and priofitization of the plan.
Mr. Niskala displayed slides of the proposed route and trail network for the northwest,
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
May 10, 2005 - Page 11
westside, southeast, southside, Flour Bluff, and Padre and Mustang Island areas.
Mr. Niskala briefly mentioned the types of policies that needed to be in place to promote
cycling_ He mentioned updating street design standards, street maintenance operations, providing
bicycle storage at public facilities, and educating the public about the rights of cyclists on the road.
Mr. Niskala discussed the implementation plan for this project. The plan included the
following aspects: organizing a bicycle/pedestrian program in the community; providing a plan and
identifying the cousUmction of needed facilities, identifying funding oppommities, educating cyclists,
pedestxians, and motorists; enforcing laws and regulations; and providing resources for change.
Regarding funding opportunities, he said the MPO mobility funds could be dedicated to individual
projects, and there would probably be dedicated funds for bicycle and pedestrian projects through
the enhancement project fund. He said State and foundation funded prograrn~ were also valid
sources_
In conclusion, Mr. Niskala said this resolution was the first step in the process in which the
city's policy makers made a statement of support regarding the bicycle and pedestrian plan to the
community.
Mr. Scott asked how mobility funds were being used now. Mr. Niskala replied the funds
were allocated to individual projects as part of the diree-year Transportation Improvement Program,
including the SPID Safety and Mitigation Congestion Project. With the new highway bill, however,
Mr. Niskala said the MPO was hoping to see the allocations improve. He said if the Council
approved today's resolution, then the MPO would have an adopted plan in place and be able to
appeal for these new funds.
Mr. Scott asked if the RTA could participate in this project_ Mr_ Niskala replied
affirmatively, saying the RTA had purchased bike racks to mount on buses to support the program.
The RTA could also assist financially, in collaboration with the city and MPO, to coordinate the
expenditure of funds for the city's ADA improvements and the RTA's bus turnout improvements.
Mr. Scott also asked about hike and bike trail improvements to Whitecap Boulevard,
including resurfacing. Assistant City Manager Massey said the park and recreation and engineering
depaxt.,~ents were investigating any opportuuities for GLO or park and recreation grant funding.
Mr. Noyola spoke in support of the proposed Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. He asked for
more specific information on the routes, especially the Westside routes. Mr. Niskala said he would
provide this information.
Mr. Kinnison asked if most of the funding options requrred a local match. Mr_ Niskala
answered affirmatively, saying most would require a 20 percent match. Mr. Kinnison pointed out
that with all the current street construction passed in the bond election, the city would be able to meet
the 20 percent match. He asked staffto be aggressive in obtaining funding for these projects.
Mr_ Gareia asked the MPO to provide mom specific plans on Westside, Tuloso-Midway, and
Flour Bluff area routes.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
May 10, 2005 - Page 12
In response to Mr. Kelly's question, Mr. Niskala replied these plans were intended to be
guides for planning to be incorporated into the city's respective park, transportation, and area pluns.
Mr. Gunning agreed, saying these guides did not have the same authorization as an ordinance, but
were for planning purposes only. Mr_ Kelly stated if the Council approved this resolution, then they
were not making specific commitments to funding or resources. Mr. Niskala replied affirmatively.
Mr. Marez spoke in support of the plans. He asked for information on the cyclists' reaction
to the plan. Mr. Niskala replied the response had been positive, and cyclists had identified two
priority projects, namely a long-distance route around the bay which could connect with Whitecap
Boulevard, and to complete the connectivity to the current Bay Trail.
Mayor Garrett asked for public comment. Mr. Bill Kopecky, 3609 Topeka, spoke regarding
the importance of good standards for street surfacing to support cycling, and also pointed out a
problem with contractors using the shoulder on Ocean Drive for construction staging for new homes.
Mr. Scott made a motion to close the public heating, seconded by Ms. Cooper, and passed.
City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:
16.b. RESOLUTION NO, 026267
Resolution adopting the Corpus Christi MPO Bicycle and Pedestxian Plan as a guide to the
Transportation Plan and Oso Parkway Plan, an element of the Comprehensive Plan for the
City and its extraterritorial jurisdiction; establishing a guide for bicycle and pedestrian
improvements and for coordination of land use and capital improvements consistent with the
public interest.
The foregoing resolution was passed and approved with the following vote: Garrett, Chesney,
Cooper, Garcia, Kelly, Kinnison, Marez, Noyola, and Scott, voting "Aye".
Mayor Garrett asked for a brief recess to conduct a swearing-in ceremony for new beard and
committee members and to present proclamations.
Mayor Garrett called for petitions fi.om the audience. Mr. Brian Watson, 5813 Hugo, spoke
regarding various issues related to the Base Realignment and Closure process.
Mr. Wayne Hodge, 3122 Leopard, spoke regarding his concerns about city police officers
transferring magistxated prisoners to the county hospital, saying this was the responsibility of the
sheriffs department. He was concerned this was affecting the police department's ability to respond
to calls_
Mr. Noyola expressed concern about Mr. Hodge's comments, and asked Mr. Noe to
investigate. Mr. Noe replied affirmatively, saying staff had not reported any problems to him
regarding this issue. Mr. Garcia asked if prisoners were working the system by faking an illness to
avoid incarceration_ Mr. Hodge replied affirmatively, saying the chronic violators knew how to

exploit the system.
Mayor Garrett referred to the presentation on the day's agenda, a quarterly report from the
Corpus Christi Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB). CVB Chairman Dave Prewitt stated the
board would provide their report in a video format. The video briefly discussed the results of the
"Tourism Builds" report, the second part of a continuing study on the economic impact and
community benefits of the tourism industry. The report was completed under the supervision of Dr.
Jim Lee with Texas A&M - Corpus Christi. The CVB provided a detailed summary of the report
after the presentation.
According to the video, tourism generated $60 million in property taxes, hotel taxes, and
sales taxes for the city. The city's current annualized hotel occupancy rate was 58.7 pement,
compared with the state average of 59 percent, 58_5 percent at South Padre, and 53.7 percent al
Galveston_ In addition, the CVB had undertaken four new research projects at various stages of
completion to gauge public opinion on the city as a tourist s~te as follows: a web-based intemet
study; a meeting planners focus group analysis to determine convention customer opinions; a
customer intercept zip code analysis; and an advertising inquiry conversion study.
The video stated that 56 percent of the respondents to the web-based survey chose the beach
when making vacation plaus. The three things respondents liked most about Corpus Christi were
the beach, the aquarium, and the food, in that order. The respondents to the meeting planners focus
group identified Corpus Christi as a good market for non-profit, religious groups, and associations
on a tight budget. The video also provided a report on the effectiveness of the CVB's advertising.
After the video, CVB President and CEO Tom Galyon stated the CVB was committed to the
future of Corpus Christi. He commented the CVB had made many changes to its sales efforts by
bringing on new staffand new markets, including the sports market and the eco-tourism market_ The
CVB was conducting a national search for the full-time eco-tourism manager. He also mentioned
the CVB would have a new CD-ROM and new brochure to promote the American Bank Center and
other convention facilities which would be released within the next few weeks. As the CVB's
research had indicated, Mr. Galyon said the beach was the biggest draw to Corpus Christi, and thus
it was incorporated into the CVB's new logo. In conclusion, Mr. Galyon said the CVB was
committed to being the best tourism market organization possible with the cit,fs current invesm~ent.
Mr. Noyola asked how much the CVB spent on advertising. Mr. Galyon replied the CVB
spent $523,000 a year, with approximately $49,000 in co-op advertising. Mr. Noyola asked if the
CVB advertised in in-flight magaTines. Mr. Galyon replied affirmatively, saying they advertised in
Southwest Airlines's in-flight magazines with great success.
Mr. Scott took exception to the CVB's presentation format. He said he preferred to receive
the presentation in writing and before the meeting to allow him time to review it. He asked for more
hard data regarding the status on convention bookings, any leads, and a comparison on how the city
was doing this year compared to last year. He asked Mr. Galyon to submit a report in writing.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
May 10, 2005 - Page 14
Mr. Kinnison asked for an update on the branding project for the 1-37 and Harbor Bridge
area. Mr. Galyon stated he would present more information on this project as it became available.
He said the project had been referred to Mr. Raymond Gignac's firm to create a signage program and
develop an int3astructure program for this area- He said the brand name had been finalized, SEA
(Sports Entertainment and Arts)side Landing, but no other plan elements had been finalized.
Mr. Kinnison also asked for a report on the conventions booked in 2007 or 2008. He noted
that under former Assistant City Manager Mark McDaniel's direction, the Council had asked the
CVB to provide reports with more statistical data to better gauge the CVB's performance. He asked
Assistant City Manager Oscar Martinez and Mr. Galyon to focus on providing this ,~ata in their
reports.
Finally, Mr. Kinnison asked about the CVB's efforts to support the Velocity Games and the
Conquer the Coast bicycle race. Mr. Galyon said he would provide the information.
Mr. Kelly and Mr_ Marez spoke in support of the eco-tourism market.
Mr. Garcia asked for mom specific information on the CVB's use of the HOT tax (Hotel
Occupancy Tax). He also asked for information on any efforts targeting Northern Mexico tourists.
Mr. Galyon replied the CVB had worked in the past with the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce to
attract tourists from Monterrey, Mexico with some success, He said the CVB wished to take a new
direction by partnering with the State of Texas as well to do a four city, one week sales campaign
to build on these efforts. Mr. Garcia asked if the CVB had tried attracting Mexican tourist during
the Christmas holidays as well as the traditional Easter holidays. Mr. Galyon said the CVB was
looking at new efforts like this.
Mayor Garrett opened discussion on Item 18 regarding the Velocity Games. Director of Park
and Recreation Sally Gavlik introduced Ms. Debbie Lindsey-Opel, a Velocity Games Board member,
to discuss the items. Ms. Lindsey-Opel stated this year, the Velocity Games wished to incorporate
two changes to the presentation of the event, namely fencing in the area for additional security and
charging an admission at the gates to support the games. She said these changes would also provide
a more controlled access point to determine the number of event attendees.
Ms. Lindsey-Opel stated the Velocity Games had received tremendous support this year. She
thanked Mr. Callaghan, Ms. Yvorme Gottsch, and Ms. Jenny Dodge for their assistance in managing
the event_
Ms. Lindsey-Opel reported there were approximately 100 professional athletes would were
scheduled to participate in this event. In addition, Mr. Lindsey-Opel said an amateur event was also
being intxoduced to allow kids to compete on a skateboard ramp near the church. She said
approximately $30,000 to $40,000 in cash prizes were being awarded.
Mr. Chesney commented it was gratifying to see the new professional approach the Velocity
Games Board had recently undertaken. He spoke in support of the event, saying the state, national,
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
May 10, 2005 - Page 15
and international publicity the city had received was phenomenal.
Mr_ Noyola spoke in support of the event. He asked where the skating events would take
place. Ms. Lindsay-Opel replied the skating events would take place at McGee Beach in McCaughn
Park. Mr_ Noyola spoke in support of collaborating with the city, the Junior League, and the
Velocity Games to create a permanent skating park somewhere in the city. Ms. Lindsey-Opel replied
the McCaughn Park site would not be available for use in 2006, so this would give the Board a
chance to explore other venues_
There were no comments from the public. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their
votes as follows:
18_a. MOTIONNO. 2005-153

and infrastructure in the marina.
In response to Mayor Garrett's question, Mr. Noe replied the landfill project was operating
on a very tight schedule to have the facility open in time for the expiration of the J.C_ Elliott landfill.
Mayor Garrett also asked for a timeline on the marina project.
Mayor Garrett called for public comment. Mr. Bill Kopecky, 3609 Topeka, spoke regarding
his concern that these Certificates of Obligation were more like revenue bonds that the city was using
to circumvent the need for voter approval for the possible use of property tax revenues to retire the
debt on the bonds City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:
19.a. RESOLUTION NO, 026268

Mr. Noe also announced a luncheon would be held at 11:30 mm_ on Thursday at the Holiday
Inn-Airport to discuss small business oppommities program established by the 4A Board. He said
Ms. Jame Ban-em w/th ACCION Texas, 4A Board Chairman Gail Hoffman, Economic Development
department staff, and other staff would be presenters.
Mr. Noe stated the following items were scheduled for consideration at next Tuesday's
Council meeting: four zoning cases, included the Sizemore Real Estate case that was previously
tabled; a presentation on a recommended consultant to complete a utility rate study.
Mayor Garrett announced the Council conunittee assignments for the Murficipal Court
Committee and the Audit Committee_ He appointed Mr. Bill Kelly (Chairman), Mr. Cbesney, Ms.
Cooper, and Mr. Noyola to the Municipal Court Committee. He said their first order of business was
to provide recommendations on the appointment of Municipal Court judges to the Council. Mayor
Garrett appointed Mr. Kinnison (Chairman), Mr. Scott, Mr_ Garcia, and Mr. Marez to the Audit
Committee.
Mayor Garrett called for Council concerns and reports Mr. Noyola spoke regarding a
possible civil injunction law against gang members. He understood a similar program was in place
in San Antonio that prevented gang members from being within two miles of each other if they were
members of the same gang. He asked staffto consider implementing a similar program here.
Mr. Scott asked for a status report on the Packery Channel project. Mr. Noe replied the
project was on track. Mr. Scott also asked about a bill on emerging technologies research centers
that authorized five counties in Texas to establish research centers. He said Nueces County was not
one of the counties chosen, and he asked if Special Assistant to the City Manager Tom Utter could
advocate the importance of the Harte Research Center to the State of Texas. Mr. Noe replied
affirmatively, saying the Economic Development Center and the Chamber of Corm-nerce had also
been active on this bill.
Mr. Scott also asked about the city's stance on the gambling bills introduced in the legislature,
saying it had been represented to him that the city had not been an active participant in these bills.
He said he understood the city's stance was that if gambling was allowed by the legislature, then the
city wanted to be a part of it. Mr. Noe agreed that this was the city's position historically, and he
would look into it.
Mr. Garcia asked about the $1 million overbid on the Sunnybrook/Manshiem project. He
said he understood there was a statewide concrete shortage which linuted the amount of available
concrete by 25 percent. Mr. Massey replied the bid prices were affected by a number of factors,
including cost increases in fuel and asphalt and a statewide production shortage for cement. City
Engineer Escobar added that steel and PVC piping were also in short supply and subject to cost
increases.
Mr. Garcia asked how these supply issues affected the ability of contractors to bid for city
projects. Mr. Escobar replied other governmental entities had expea'ienced problems getting bids on
projects requiring large amounts of cement. He said stalTwas discussing the problem with the cit-f s
consultants, and decided the timing and sequence of the project bids was crucial for success_
Mint~tes - Regular Council Meeting
May 10, 2005 - Page 18
Consequently, staff had made an effort to space the projects out to decrease competition with project
from other governmental entities. He said the more competition there was, the higher the bid prices
would be. Mr. Noe replied staff had to determine whether the supply issues were short-term or long-
term problems, and then determine how to address them. In response to Mr. Scott's questiorL, Mr.
Escobar said staffwas looking at ways to allow contractors to move in and out ora project quickly.
Mayor Garrett reminded the Council membexs that there would be a joint appearance between
the Council and the Commissioners Court tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. at the County Courthouse to
discuss hurricane preparedness.
Mayor Garrett complimented Assistant City Manager Margie Rose and Development
Services staff members Michael Gunning and Barbara Holly regarding a development on Ocean
Drive. He said the developers were impressed with the level of concern and professionalism the staff
had displayed. Mr. Garcia echoed Mayor Garrett's comments, saying the development community
was pleased with the changes in city's One-Stop Center.
There being no further business to come before the Council, Mayor Garrett adjourned the
Council meeting at 2:35 p.m. on May 17, 2005.

issuance of refunding bonds by Lavaca-Navidad River Authority in the aggregate prhicipal amount of
$6,950,000. Such refunding was expected to realize debt service savings, resulting in lowering the City's
payments under the contract The net present value savings were anticipated to be at least three percent (3 %).
Such authorization expired on April 29, 20t)5. Until recently, market conditions were not favorable for the
issumice of the refunding bonds Market conditions have improved and are now favorable therefore Council
must re-authorize the City Manager to approve the issuance of the refunding bonds. The current authorization
will expire September 30, 2005.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION:
City Council approval of the Resolution is recommended.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Resolution 026164 dated March 8. 2005 authorizing the City Manager to take actions necessary to
approve the issuance of refunding bonds by Lavaca-Navidad River Authority in respect to the City of

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
City Council Action Date: May 24, 2005
AGENDA ITEM:
Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute a professional service
agreement with the Nueces County Medical Education Foundation in an amount not to
exceed $150,000 in order to provide health care services for Title V Maternal-Child
Health.
ISSUE: The current contract with the Texas Department of State Health Services provides a
maximum of $162,305 in financial assistance for matemal-child health services. This
agreement would allow many prenatal services provided by the Health Distdct to be
subcontracted to the Nueces County Medical Education Foundation.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Authorize the City Manager or his designee to enter into
an agreement with the Nueces County Medical Education Foundation.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: City Council approved and appropriated $162,305 for the
Health Department to provide Title V maternal-child health services under contract with the
Department of State Health Services.
FUNDING: Funding to reimburse the Nueces County Medical Education Foundation is
provided through Attachment # 02A to Contract #7460005741A-2005, Change No. 4. This
contract between the Department of State Health Services and the City of Corpus Chdsti
provides for the Health Department to provide Title V prenatal services.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: Recommend City Council to authorize
execution of the professional services agreement.
(Department Head Signature)
BACKGROUNDINFORMATION
Funding under the Title V-Fee for Service grant that has been provided to the
Health Distdct from the Department of State Health Services for many years.
The purpose of this funding is to provide Iow income women access to medical
care during pregnancy, and to provide medical services to uninsured children.
Under this agreement with the Nueces County Medical Education Foundation,
a number of prenatal services now being provided directly by the Health
Distdct would be provided by the Nueces County Medical Education
Foundation as a subcontractor. This arrangement would allow a greater
number of eligible clients to be served, and would allow the Foundation to
receive reimbursement for indigent care services it currently provides, but is
often unreimbursed. Under current arrangements with the Health District, all
maternity clients are referred to the Foundation for care and delivery in the
latter months of pregnancy. This arrangement would allow for improved
continuity of services for clients throughout pregnancy, and would allow the
Health Distdct to better utilize existing staff. The agreement will run through
July 31, 2005. The Department of State Health Services has provided
authorization to the Health Distdct to subcontract these services.

PROJECT BACKGROUND: After the 64-inch Mary Rhodes Pipeline was constructed, a
corrosion survey was performed at foreign pipeline crossings along the 105 miles of
pipeline. Fifty (50) sites required stray electdc current mitigation to reduce the corrosive
influence of adjacent and crossing pipelines. This project is complete and it will extend the
life expectancy of this vital pipeline.
Russell Corrosion Consultants (RCC) designed the fifty (50) stray current mitigation
stations to offset the electrical current being imposed by other intersecting pipelines.
These stations will be monitored as required, and measurements from the test stations will
be gauged to ensure the elfectiveness of the systems in use, and prolong the durability
and life expectancy of Ihe pipeline.

ITEM B:
APPROVAL OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OF
THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRIST1 ("THE CITY") BY ADOPTING THE CORPUS
CHRISTI FUTURE LAND USE PLAN AND AMENDING THE CORPUS CHRISTI

LAND USE, ZONING, SUBDIVISION DEVELOPMENT AND CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENTS CONSISTENT WITH THE PUBLIC INTEREST; AMENDING
RELATED ELEMENTS OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN OF THE CITY;
PROVIDING FOR SEVERANCE; AND PROVIDING FOR PUBLICATION.
ISSUES:
· The City Charter requires adoption of a Comprehensive Plan including future land use and transportation
elements. Comprehensive plans and elements thereof should be reviewed every two to five years for consistency with
city, federal and state agencies.
· A comprehensive plan illustrating future land uses and transportation for the city and extra-territorial jurisdiction
on a single map benefits the development community; and general citizenry by providing a guide to future land use
and transportation decisions.
· Adoption of the Future Land Use Plan map combines future land uses from the adopted Area Development Plans
and simplifies the process t-or updating the plan and providing current plan requiremenls through the City's website.
· Updating and amending the Urban Transportation Plan adopted in 2003 is necessary to assure consistency with the
proposed future land use plan. In addition, proposed changes to the plan are needed to allow innovation / flexibility in
the design of streets and to assure consistency with the many street system Lmprovements made since the pIan was
adopted in 2003.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Conduct a public hearing for mending the City's Comprehensive Plan for Future
Land Use and TranspoOation Plan and approval of an ordinance adopting on First Reading.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: Adoption of the Urban Transportation Plan March 25, 2003; Adoption and
amendments to various Area Development Plans since September 1987.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

Future Land Use Plan and the Urban Transportation Plan
(Separate Cover)
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Adoption of the Future Land Use Plan map will be the second part ufa three phase process to combine the City's Area
Development Plans into a unified Comprehensive Plan document. The first phase was completed on March 25, 2003
with the adoption of the Urban Transportation Plan. The 2003 Urban Transportation Plan combined all of the
transportation plan maps from the Area Development Plans into a single unified transportation plan map. Similarly,
the future land use plan map will also combine future land uses of the Area Development Plans into a single map
with several changes as follows:
Rezonthgs that have occurred since 1994;
Approved plats that indicate a future use different from the adopted area plans; and
For some areas without an adopted area plan, future land uses have been recommended.
The proposed plans primaffiy represent a change in plan format rather than major changes to land use or transportation
policy.
The 2005 Transportation Plan has been updated to remove the detailed engineering design street cross sections. The
plan still indicates the desired right-of-way and number of travel lanes for each street but does not dictate a specific
engineering design~ This proposed change to the plan allows more flexibility in design while still providing the City
with sufficient fight-of-way for the street network.
Map street alignment changes include:
o Flour BluffDrive- allowing runway expansion for the Navy's new jet trainer;
o Cimarron Boulevard - termination of Cimarron Boulevard at Uso Creek;
o Uso Parkway - termination of the Uso Parkway Street at Holly Road with the bike trail continuing
along the Cayo Del Uso consistent with the Bay Trail II1 Project.
The Future Land Use and Transportation Plans were distributed to the development community and their input has
been included.
The Transportation Advisory Comrmttee reviewed and recommended to the City Council approval of the Urban
Transportation Plan on February 28th. Planning Commission reviewed, conducted a public hearing and recommended
to the City Council approval of the Future Land Use and Urban Transportation Plan on April 20~h.
The third phase of this process will be to update the adopted Corpus Christ Policy Statements later this year. While
the City may need in-depth area studies and plans from time to time, the vehicle for adoption to the Comprehensive
Plan will be to update the citywide future land use plan and or the urban transportation plan. It is hoped that this city
and ETJ presentation will be easier to understand for the citizen and easier to maintain and update by staffand City
Council.

exception, that the cities use a transportation or thoroughfare plan in combination with their subdivision / un/fled
development code ordinances to require dedication of right.-of-way. For the largest streets (arterials-maximum R.O.W.),
six cities required a narrower right-of-way than Corpus Christi, two cities had the sarne width for their largest street and
one city had a larger right-of-way requirement for their largest street. Only three cities had different maximum collector
street requirements for right-of-way than Corpus Christi. While residential or local streets are not addressed in the
transportation plan, most cities surveyed had similar requirements to Corpus Christi

CORPUS CHRISTI FUTURE LAND USE PLAN AND THE UPDATE TO THE CORPUS
CHRISTI URBAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN - public hearing and possible action
Mr. Gunning stated that staffcousolidated the adopted land use plans from the various area
development plans to create a single citywide map indicating projected future land use across the city and
in the exterritorial jurisdiction. In addition, the transportation plan is also being updated to assure an
adequate transportation network to serve uses shown in the future land use plan. The transportation plan is
being updated from its adoption two years ago to incorporate several amendments. One key point of the
transportation plan amendments is to create more flexibility in the design of street r.o w. Staffis
recommending taking out the street cross sections and placing them in a Design Manual that can be used as
a guide and the plan would reference the right-of-way desired. These plans have been shared with the
local engineers and developers and the draft plan incorporates their input.
In response to Mr. Gunnings' statement, Mr. Payne indicated that information ;,'as sent to the
Development Community that staffis working with on a regular basis with the subdivision process, which
consisted of about 20 people. Information was sent via email and regular mail with some feedback.
Mr. Payne indicated input from Urban Engineering included an addition to the dml~
Tramsportation Plan text to assure that any deviations to the plan under the Plan Amendments section
should include a requirement for consistency with TXIX)T requirements. Other comments stated by
Urban Engineering had to do with the Design Criteria Manual which is not at this time proposed for
adoption. Urban Engineering indicated that they would like for staffto pursue ia the next plan update
several other changes that could address reducing the pavement between the curbs to slow traffic down,
reducing the number of cross-sections and reducing the tight-of-way on rural sections to be consistent with
urban cross-sections.
In response to Commissioner Braselton's question, Mr. Payne indicated that the design manual
was not proposed for adoption at this time, but will be brought back to Planning Commission when a/-mai
draft is ready.
Public heating was opened.
Murph Hudson, Urban Eng:meermg representative, 2725 Swaamer Avenue, thanked city staff for
the opportunity to review the document in advance to the presentation of Planning Commission. He stated
that some good and needed changes have been made to the master plan. Problems with the plan in the past
have been resolved and the next step of this process is to go to the design manual. Written comments have
been sent to staffin order to update and proceed as planned.
Public hearing was closed.
Mr. Gunning stated that there would need to be an adopted document ~hat enables staff to require
the dedications of rights-of-way necessary to accommodate the proposed traffic nn arterials and collectors.
The tentative schedule is to take the transportation plan, land use plan and MPO Bicycle and Pedestrian
plan on May 17, 2005. Staff recommends that the Commission adopts the Transportation Plan and Future
Land Use Plan.
A motion was made by Commissioner Braselton and seconded by Corm'mssioner Garza to adopt
the Corpus Christi Future Land Use Plan and update to the Corpus Christi Urban Transportation Plan. The
motion was unammously passed.

Light Industrial District for the purpose of developing an office warehouse complex with
outdoor storage on 15.86 acres.
Ten (10) 5,000 square foot office warehouse structures are planned on the subject property.
Each structure will consist of 1,500 square feet of office area and 3,500 square feet of
warehouse area with an eave height up to 24 feet.

Planning Commission Meeting
March 23, 2005

Mrs Carrillo-Arispe stated the that existing land use map shows the subject parcel surrounded by
multi-family residential, general business and some of the outer city limits along the industrial corndor.
The applicant proposes to build between 8 to 10 separate offices encompassing a space of 5,000 square
feet. Each structure will consist of 1,500 square feet of office space and 3,500 square feet of warehouse
area with eaves not to exceed height of 24 feet but varying between 18 and 24 feet. Staffrecommends a
denial of the "I-2' but approval of a Special Permit subject to five (5) conditions for use, outside storage
usage, screening, landscaping, and a time limit to the Permit. Specifically, the special permit would allow
uses by fight in the "B4" with the exception of the warehouse office use, applicant is requesting outside
storage to be permitted as an accessory use but limited to 30% of the premise size. All outside storage
must have a setback of a minimum of 20 feet from any public fight-of-way with a solid wooden fence
screening and landscaping. In addition to that screening, this would provide screening from the multi
family and other property around the surrounding area. Time limit with a Special Permit to expire within
two years of the date of the ordinance is recommended unless the property is being used as allowed in the
conditions.
Commissioner Pusley stated that staffsubmitted site plans with 17 to 25 lots. Staffand applicant
stated they have not agreed on one particular site plan.
In response to Commissioner Pusley's questions, Mrs. Carrillo-Arispe indicated that the issue
with this particular piece of property would be the outside storage. Limiting the use to specific height
requirements, setback requirements, and specific uses that are consistent with "B-.4" and not "I-2" such as
flammables would be allowed in other districts.
Commissioner Pusley stated that this is an area that was part of the city's corridor entrance study
that was done a few years ago which basically stated that the City was going to try and not bring
industrial development into this area because it is the entrance to our City. This is not an area where we
want to see commercial development being done. This is immediately across the street from a new
elementary school and TMISD has passed two resolutions against this type of development. One of them
was done last year on this same piece of property. This is something Staffshould not have brought before
US.
The public hearing was opened.
Wayne Lunquist, 6700 Everhart, stated that he requested a similar permit three years ago and is
agreeable with all the conditions that is included with a special permit except the 30% requirement. The
developers are willing to screen an outdoor storage with a wooden fence. They are requesting to approve
the "I-2" permit. The developers are 90% agreeable with what staff is recorrmaending.
In response to Chairman Berlanga's question regarding types of storage, Mr. Lunquist indicated
that many different things can be stored in the warehouse with no item exceeding the 6 foot height
requirement.
Chairman BerJanga indicated that the TMISD is in opposition of the permit. TMISD was assured
thai the General Business District would not have a negative impact on the area.
Jeff Sizemore, 11810 Warfield, San Antonio, Texas, anticipates service type contractors needing
outside storage use. No dangerous chemicals will be stored. There will be no residential property built to
the north due to the fact that the property is owned by the City. There will be access from the front of the
building through McKenzie Road and Interstate Highway 37 from the back.
Commissioner Pusley indicated that there is a new elementary school diagonally across this new
proposed site. TMISD forgave back taxes that were owed to the school distfict to allow the developer to

come in and develop this piece of property with the understanding that it would not be a detrimental
development or a detriment to the school district, or the surrounding neighborhoods as it is one of the
most upscale subdivisions in Northwest Corpus Christi other than Wood River. Under the screening
guidelines, the screening height is limited and does not include machinery or equipment. This
Commission has no control as to who this property can be sold to or future development (what is built
there).
Mr. Gunning indicated that the "B-4" does not allow warehousing. It allows mini-storage usage
and minimum warehousing associated with the retail of a furniture company or other types of
establishments.
Commissioner Stone stated that if this property is not allowed a Special Permit, the property will
just sit there. Office warehouse seems like the best use.
Wayne Lunquist indicated that the developers are willing to have uniform setbacks, no storage in
front, and it will not be an industrial warehouse. There will not be any metal fronts. Masom-y fronts will
be on all fronts of the buildings. It will be a nice office warehouse with outside storage, and we are
asking for outside storage.
In response to Chairman Berlanga's questions, Mr. Lunquist stated that there were some
conditions that the applicant was not acceptable with. He would like no more than 30% of the premises
for outdoor storage. As an example, 5,000 square foot building is built with only 1500 square foot of
outdoor storage on a one acre tract.
Mr. Gunning indicated that the 30% would apply to each lot, which could be sold individually.
The intent is to develop the market for office warehouse over time, not all at once. The 30% would apply
to the property as a whole.
In response to Mr. Gunning, Mr. Lunquist indicated that they have no problem with any of the
five conditions. Mr. Sizemore indicated that he does not plan to sell to anyone. He would like to build
and lease them to tenants. Ms. Sizemore states that he did not understand the two year limitation. The
developers are willing to add some of the restrictions spoken of. No storage in the front yard, uniform
setbacks, and no metal fronts on buildings (masonry or stucco).
Mr. Gunning stated that thc two year limitation will benefit the developer. A typical Special
Permit is approved and granted for one year. This particular case allows the developer two years to begin
construction.
Commissioner Pusley stated that this has been a very difficult situation in this area for the TMISD
because we live here, and our kids go to school in an industrial area. What is not owned by a refinery is a
plowed field or has so many pipelines underground, no one can build there for the next hundred years.
Pusley stated that he was part of the committee that searched for sites to build two new schools in the
Tuloso Midway residence. Without any assistance from the City, it taxed itself to the tune of 40 million
dollars to build those two school buildings. No one assisted in that plan of action. Tremendous sacrifices
have been made for the community. The committee went to TXDOT to work with them regarding the
flyover to get large vehicles in and out quickly. There are many options for this proposed site such as
doctors' offices or professional offices instead of a warehouse complex.
In response to Commissioner Salazar's question regarding building codes, Mr. Gunning indicated
that there would be no restrictions on the building codes. Under the existing zoning, the developer could
not build anything more than 800 square feet under "B-4". The Developer can build a 3500 square foot
office and an 800 square foot warehouse. This is allowing him additional footage for the warehouse.

In response to Commissioner Salazar, Mr. Sizemore stated that TMISD was given a presentation
and passed a resolution to be against what is now Fleet Pride (an international truck dealerships). It was
under contract to be built, due to the resolution from TMISD. The owners or Fleet Pride did not want to
be involved with that opposition. The contract and zoning application was cancelled. The current owners
pulled their request for a zoning change and were not made to pay for closing on the contracL
In response to Commissioner Pusley's question, Mr. Lunquist stated that the developer would like
to build one street and build as needed or in demand. The developer would like not to put in the street
that staff recommended where it would parallel to River Run all the way down since the demand is not
known at this time. The Developer would like to put in one cul de sac at a time. The buildings would
front Interstate Highway 37, and the storage yards would be screened from Interstate Highway 37.
Mr. Gunning stated that he would like to make a recommitment on the Cotton Testing Facility.
Interstate Highway 37 is the entry way to our City which we would like to protect. Staffwould not like to
encourage any "I-2" or Light Industrial zoning further west than what is already indicated. Staffwould
also like to ask the developer to look at additional landscaping. The property's level is at a higher
elevation than Interstate Highway 37 and the screening fences will not screen the parking or warehousing
usage. The planting of Oak Trees every 50 feet would cover the area over time. Staffcan address the
developer's concerns if they file a preliminary plat on the entire piece of property and do a final plat on
the lots they want to build. The developer can build a street associated with those lots, without a cul de
sac, but with a temporary turn around extended with lots sold and developed in the future.
Chairman Berlanga added conditions pursuant to Mr. Lonquist to allow TMISD to agree. These
conditions should be:
Uniform Setback
2. Masonry Fronts
3. No storage in front of buildings
4. Storage screened with taller landscaping such as oak trees every 50 feet (not palms)
Mr. Sizemore indicated that he would like to commit to Site Plan C.
The public hearing was closed.
A motion was made and seconded to deny the "I-2" Light Industrial District and in lieu thereof,
approval ora Special Permit subject to site plan C or as determined in the platting process and five (5)
conditions. The motion passed unanimously with Zamora being absent.

property could accommodate a 30,000 square foot structure, resulting in a traffic generation of 12,201
average daily trips, at 40.67 trips per 1,000 square feet of gross structure. "B4' District development
is preferred along two fully improved arterial roadways, whereby the subject properly does not meet
this standard. Aid[ne Road at this location is classified as a rural 2-lane arterial with a 28' paved
section. Slripping out of street corridors with commercial development is not an accepted Plarming

Wayne Lundquist, 700 Everhart, stated that the applicants' request was to rezone 9.93 acres of 127 acre
tract with 8.62 acres as "A-2" District 3.5 acres as "B4" District. The applicant meant to request a "B-I'
District in lieu of a "B4" District. Out of the 127 acres, the applicant is requesting that only 8 percent be
residential. There are several mid block business tracts on collector streets.
In response to Chairman Berlanga's question, Mr. Lundquist stated that the applicant is
requesting an "A-2" Apmhnent House District on Tract I and a "B-I" Neighborhood Business District on
Tract 2 totaling 9.93 acres.
Mr. Gunning stated that the only concern staffhad was that this is an area that developers are
anticipating development along the east and west side of the arterial roads. In the future, the change of
zoning at mid block locations will establish a retail pattern for this particular comdor. Staff is continually
encouraging the location of the retail at the intersections two arterials.
Mr. Lundquist indicated that the zoning requested "B-I" District 2% of the whole development.
He reiterated that if everyone had to be res~cted to 2 or 3% of their development, there would be no
retail at all. He also stated that he has rezoned approximately 60% of Yorktow'n and Staples to "B-I"
Neighborhood Business DisWict or "AB" Professional Office District.
Public heating was closed. A motion was made by Comrmssioner SalaTnr and seconded by Vice
Chairman Stone to approve the "A-2" Apartment House District for Tract 1 and in lieu of a "B-4" General
Business District approve a "B-I" Neighborhood Business District for Tract 2.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
PUBLIC HEARING - ZONING (City Council Action Date: 5/24/05)
Case No.: 0405-05 (Landmark Commission/Manuel G. Morales): A change of zoning from an
"R-1B" One-family Dweiling 13istrict to a "R-1B"/HC-IV" One-family Dwelling Dis~ct with a
Historical-Cultural Landmark Preservation Overlay in Del Mar Subdivision, Block 18, Lot 3,
located along Clifford Street and 100 feet east of Santa Fe Street.
Planning Commission and Staff's Recommendation (4/20/05): Approval as submitted.
Requested Council Action: Approval and adoption of the attached ordinance.
Puroose of Request: Historical designation.
Landmark Commission and Staff's Summary: On February 24, 2005, the Landmark
commission held a public hearing on the request, to designate the single-family structure at 310
Clifford Sffeet with the overlay designation "HC- IV" (Private sh-ucture not open to the public)
Historical Cultural Landmark. he subject property would retain its existing "R-lB" One-family
Dwelling Dis~ct while being further protected as historically significant.
The "HC-IV" (Private not open to the public) overlay designation is a classification for private
buildings not open to the public. Exterior building modifications to the entire structure would
require Landmark Commission review and action within 30 days of the building permit request
date. If no action is taken by the Landmark Commission within the 30-day period the property
owner may proceed with the modification plans without Landmark Commission approval. In the
event the property owner is not in agreement with the Landmark Cornrmssion's exterior building
modification action during the 30<tay period, the Landmark Comnnssion may continue dialogue
with the property owner for an additional 90 days If an agreement between the Landmark
Commission and the property owner cannot be resolved aRer the 904ay period, the Landmark
Commission must issue a Ce~ficate of Appropriateness for the requested building modification.
Demolition procedures for an "HC-IV"(Private not open to the public) overlay designation would
require a 60<tay review period from the demolition permit request date. If no action is taken by
the Landmark Commission during the initial 60-day period the property owner may proceed with
the demolition. In the event the property owner and the Landmark Cornrmssion am not in
agreement atter the 60<tay period, the Landmark Commission may impose an addittonal 60-day
review period to continue dialogue with the property owner to encourage preservation of the
property. After the end of the aggregate period, the property owner may obtain a demolition
permit to demolish the property if preservation of the structure is still undesirable.
Al~l~licant's Position: The applicant concurs with Planning comrmssion and Staff's recommendation.

The "HC-IV" (Private not open to the public) overlay designation is a
classification for private buildings not open to the public. Exterior building
modifications to the entire structure would require Landmark Commission review
and action within 30 days of the building permit request date. If no action is
taken by the Landmark Commission within the 30-day period the property owner
may proceed with the modification plans without Landmark Conn-nission
approval. In the event the property owner is not in agreement with the Landmark
Commission's exterior building modification action during the 30<lay period, the
Landmark Commission may continue dialogue with the property owner for an
additional 90 days. If an agreement between the Landmark Commission and the
property owner cannot be resolved after the 90-day period, the Landmark
Commission must issue a Certificate of Appropriateness for the requested
building modification.
Demolition procedures for a n "HC-IV"(Private not o pen t o t he public) overlay
designation would require a 60-day review period from the demolition permit
request date. If no actionis takenbythe Landmark Commission during the initial
60-day period the property owner may proceed with the demolition. In the event
the property owner and the Landmark Commission are not in agreement after the
60-day period, the Landmark Commission may impose an additional 60<lay

Landmark Commission and StaWs Summary: On February 24, 2005, the
Landm0.rk Commission held a public hearing on the request, to designate the
single-family structure at 324 Clifford Street with thc overlay designation "HC-
IV" (Private structure not open to the public) Historical Cultural Landmark. The
subject property would retain its existing "R-lB" One-family Dwelling District
while being further protected as historically significant.
Zoning Report
Case No. C0405-06 (Landmark Commission and Garnaliel Oliva)
Page 2
The "HC-IV" (Private not open to the public) overlay designation is a
classification for private buildings not open to the public. Exterior building
modifications to the entire structure would require Landmark Commission review
and action within 30 days of the building permit request date_ If no action is
taken by the Landmark Commission within the 304ay period the property owner
may proceed with the modification plans without Landmark Commission
approval. In the event the property owner is not in agreement with the Landmark
Commission's exterior building modification action during the 30-day period, the
Landmark Commission may continue dialogue with the property owner for an
additional 90 days. If an agreement between the Landmark Commission and the
property owner cannot be resolved after the 90-day period, the Landmark
Commission must issue a Certificate of Appropriateness for the requested
building modification.
Demolition procedures for an "HC-IV"(Private not open to the public) overlay
designation ~vould require a 60-day review period from the demolition permit
request date. If no action is taken by the Landmark Commission during the irfitial
60-day period the property owner may proceed with the demolition. In the event
the property owner and the Landmark Commission are not in agreement after the
60-day period, the Landmark Commission may impose an additional 60-day
review period to continue dialogue with the property owner to encourage
preservation of the property. After the end of the aggregate period, the property
owner may obtain a demolition permit to demolish the property if preservation of
the structure is still undesirable.

ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
SUBJECT: Utility Rate Study (Project #8542)
BACKGROUND: The current rate structure is based the cost of service using a minimum
customer charge, meter size, volume charge on usage above the minimum charge, and a
raw water supply charge adjustment. The City's wholesale water customers have
expressed a strong desire that the City undertake a water rate study to analyze changed
conditions and to ensure the water rate is fairly based on those conditions.
CH2MHilI, Urban Engineering, and Collier, Johnson & Woods undertook an extensive
study of the City of Corpus Christi utility department in 1990. As a result, a rate schedule
for water service was developed based upon the cost of service. A two-part rate schedule
was implemented consisting of:
· Monthly minimum customer charge based on customer class and meter size;
and
· A volume charge based on usage above the base amount.
Customers are charged a minimum base rate and extra capacity cost, based on water
usage above the base amount. In 1997, the rate schedule was modified to separate a
Raw Water Cost Adjustment (RWCA) with the completion of the Lake Texana Pipeline.
The RWCA is calculated annually and represents the total monthly expenditures
associated with the acquisition and delivery of raw water to the treatment plant net of
offsetting revenues, and divided by the projected sales volume for the coming year
Overages and shortfalls in collections are factored into the following year's rate as RWCA
rate correction. Additional information on the water rate structure is available in the City
Water's Conservation Plan adopted by the City Council on August 24, 1999.
Storm Water operations, maintenance and debt service were absorbed by the Water Fund
during the 1980's. No corresponding adjustment to the Water Rate has been made to
offset these costs.
DMG Maximus undertook a comprehensive utility rate study in 2001 which resulted in a
computerized rate model to evaluate all utility rates. That rate model has continued to be
refined and used by the City Finance Department.
STUDY: The requested study will result in a report analyzing the current water rate in
regard to sound business and economic principles. The study's recommendations will
result address issues of fairness and sound business practices. A summary of the
proposed contract is attached.
CONSULTANT SELECTION: The City issued an RFP for the requested services.
Responding firms were ranked in accordance with the criteria set forth in the RFP. The
firm of HDR Engineering with sub-consultant Collier Johnson & Woods was deemed to
EXHIBIT "A"

offer the best approach. They also emphasized the need to include input from major water
customers and public involvement.
FUTURE COUNCIL ACTION:
Possible amendment of the City's water rate ordinance.

CONTRACT SUMMARY
SCOPE OF SERVICES
^ Task I - Data Gathering and Initial Policy Guidance
Consultant would hold a kick-off meeting with the City staff to coordinate data needs and to
discuss the policy perspectives of the City in addressing stakeholder involvement, utilities' cost
of service, and rate design issues. Key utilities issues that are likely to be pertinent in this study
include:
Viable funding of utilities programs.
Accurate cost of service allocations.
Fair and equitable retail and wholesale rates.
Identifying and addressing key stakeholder concerns.
Factors affecting revenue stability, including growth, variable weather conditions,
conservation rates, and conservation gains by industry.
Consideration of affordability of utilities to Iow- and fixed income citizens (i.e., proper
design of customer classes and/or minimum and Iow tier rates)
Customer use patterns, cost of service and revenue requirement allocations, City policy
goals, and administrative feasibility, review & recommend alternative rate design
approaches, if warranted.
Consistency of rates with federal & state government legal/regulatory requirements.
The Consultant will coordinate with the City to determine the preferred tool(s) to be used to
model the utilities' rates Consultant may be directed to:
make use of the existing large, complex model;
compress the existing model and incorporate that detail in a more user-friendly format; or
use an alternative model proposed by Consultant.
B. Task 2 - Evaluate Customer Use and Production Data
The Consultant will examine various utility data from the City's utilities' production and billing
systems to develop planning forecasts of customer counts, service use, and service production.
Information on utilities' accounting (customer count and volumetric use), customer use patterns,
and utility systems layouts will be used to forecast the relationship between billed service and
production; identifying source of supplies and costs; types of uses; seasonal use patterns;
assessing customer class definitions; and identifying trends in customer growth.
The Consultant will assess the impact weather and conservation efforts have or may have on
service demand and utility revenues. The Consultant will make recommendations as to how
weather and conservation effods should be addressed through demand forecasting
assumptions, rate design, or financial reserves,
Exhibit B
Page 1 of 4
C. Task 3 - Existing/Projected Cost of Service
The Consultant will assess existing utility financial and system information and identify the
current costs of service. The task will directly relate expenditures to each utility, common costs
that must be allocated among the utilities, and other costs related to municipal support of the
utility systems. The Consultant will allocate the existing system costs into the vadous functional
components of each utility, reflecting the resource supply, treatment, pumping, storage,
transmission, customer-related, and general and administrative expenses. The Consultant will
identify costs related to base and seasonal use and resultant required facility capacity.
The Consultant will consider Inflationary trends, non-inflationary trends (power, fuel, group
medical, etc.), contract provisions, prospective capital improvements and/or new operational
programs will be considered in the expenditure and cost allocation forecasts. The Consultant
will coordinate closely with City staff to assure that the key assumptions, identified costs, and
cost allocations are appropriate.
The Consultant will use functional and base/excess capacity cost allocations to identify facilities
and costs that are used and useful to various types of retail and wholesale City water
customers.
D. Task 4- Develop Improved Model
The Consultant will meet with the City to discuss its review of the prior rate model to determine
what can be done to streamline its design and increase its user-friendliness. The Consultant
will explore alternative models that incorporate water, wastewater natural gas, and storm water
components and containing "what-if" forecasting capabilities in a straightforward, easy-to-
understand, and printable layout. Such alternative models must permit model editing features to
address change. Such alternative models must allow for updating while preserving the history
of data [rom prior years. The Consultant will advise City staff on the alternative approaches to
the modeling and make recommendation as to the most beneficial approach.
E. Task 5 - Assess Miscellaneous Service Fees
The Consultant will review miscellaneous water service fees for their adequacy. The Consultant
will accomplish the review through a benchmarking and staff interview approach. Similar fees
from other comparable utilities will be surveyed, and Corpus Chdsti City Staff will be interviewed
as to levels of effods involved in providing the particular service rendered.
F. Task 6 - Determine and Allocate Revenue Requirements
The Consultant will identify the needed rate revenue requirements based on the cost of service
assessment. The Consultant will consider non-rate revenues, operating reserves goals, debt
service coverage, or other bond covenant requirements in calculating the near and long term
revenue requirements.
Exhibit B
Page 2 of 4
The Consultant will evaluate:
growth, weather conditions, conservation gains, rate design, and other system features
affecting the degree of revenue stability, expenditure predictability, desired operating
reserves, and thus the revenue requirements,
each utility being pad of a broader "combined utility" for which revenue bond debt is
issued and times coverage compliance is ultimately assessed,
unbilled water accounts,
storm water funding issues, and
existing balance and future receipt and application of IotJacreage fee revenues that can
have an effect on rate revenue requirements.
G. Task 7 - Adequacy of Existing Rates and Alternative Rate Designs
The Consultant will determine the adequacy of the existing utility rates The adequacy will
based on planning forecasts of customer counts, expected utility volume sales, projections of
each utility's planned/anticipated expenses, and revenue requirements.
The CONSULTANT Team will review the current rate structure and potential alternative rate
design approaches for:
ability to recover targeted revenue requirements;
revenue stability
fairness and equity to and among customer classes;
ease of implementation, administration, and understanding; and
promotion of City and utility policy goals.
The Consultant will working with City staff and stakeholder groups to identify and discuss the
alternative rate design approaches addressing equity, defensibility, revenue effectiveness and
stability, implementation issues, administrative ease, ease of communication to customers, and
other factors. The Consultant will make a recommendation on a preferred approach after
reviewing the results of meetings with City staff and ~takeholder groups.
H. Task 8- Model Training and Transfer
The Consultant will initiate a follow-on effort to tra,,, City staff on use and maintenance of the
model and to transfer it to the City for long-term use upon the completion of the model
development and study reporting efforts at the end of 2005. The Consultant will prepare a
Users Manual prior to the training and revise the manual during the training process. The model
is to be available for use by City staff during the FY2006-2007 budget process to identify utility
revenue needs. The Consultant's fee does not include final development or coordination of the
FY2006-2007 rate analysis.
I Task 9 - Reporting
The Consultant will develop and submit two interim technical memoranda, draft and final
reports, presentation materials, recommended ordinance amendments.

Traffic/Speed Ocean Drive is considered an arterial across town. The speed
limits and the traffic signals are regulated to allow for traffic to flow in a safe
and expeditious manner. For these to be amended the following would be
required:
a. A Traffic Study will have to be completed to support any
recommendations presented to the Transportation Advisory Committee.
b. Public hearings will need to he held.
c Council will need to approve any changes in designation of the roadway,
reduction in speed and inclusion of traffic pedestrian signals, etc.
Parking in the Del Mar area Parking restrictions on one side of the street can
be accomplished. For parking restrictions along residential streets the process
would be for the homeowners in the community to petition the City to present
the information necessary to support a recommendation by the Transportation
Advisory Committee to City Council. An Ordinance will need to be approved
by City Council to establish the desired no parking zones.
Addition of a Bus Stop on Ocean Drive Ocean Drive being an arterial street
does not have any bus stops on it. Buses use this area to navigate across town.
The bus stops and routes are along Santa Fe Street. Ifa bus stop were
requested it would have to go tttrough the RTA process for approval.
Curfew the current curfew is 2 AM as this is considered a bay fi-ont park.
The department will be formalizing a request through the Parks & Recreation
Advisory Committee (PRAC) and City Council to change the curfew to
midnight, the same as other parks.
The noise levels cannot be addressed due to the type of activity, skating, and
the construction of the facility.
Vandalism could be addressed through the change in the curfew, and the
addition of fencing.
Supervision of the area. The Junior League of Corpus Christi has requested
the area be open with no fencing and no supervision.
Maintenance of the area. The Junior League of Corpus Christi has stated the
surface would be a material that would involve minimum maintenance.

CONSTRUCTION ISSUES
Depending on where the Skatepark is located in Cole Park the following issues would
need to be addressed:
2.
3.
4.
Elevating the area to hold an 8 ft. bowl due to the level of the water table. At
the area close to Kids Place the water table is approximately 8 ft.
Retaining walls, if the skatepark is built into the hillside, so it would not shde
into the Bay.
Fencing to insure protection of the area, liability, and to limit access for
smaller children.
Lighting if the facility is to be open during the evening hours and to assist
with overnight security.
