Mayor Garrett called the retreat to order m the Bayview Room of the American Bank Center.
City Secretary Chapa checked the roll and verified that the necessary quorum of the Council
and the required charter officers were present to conduct the meeting.
Mayor Garrett asked staff to introduce themselves for the benefit of the new Council
members.
City Manager Noe stated smffwould make a number of presentations to provide background
information that may be useful to Council during their goal setting session in the latter part of the
meeting. The scheduled reports were updates on the Bond 2000 and Bond 2004 programs, a five-
year financial forecast, and a status report on the prior goals set by the City Council.
The first presentation was an update on the Bond 2000 program by City Engineer Jmgel
Escobar. Mr. Escobar reviewed the complete bond project list for the public health and safety, park
and recreation, museum, and street improvements categories. He reported the vast majority of the
projects were completed, with a number of exceptions which he briefly reviewed_ Mr. Eseobar then
responded to Council member questions.
Mr. Escobar reported on the Bond 2004 schedule. He referred to a list of the Bond Issue
2004 propositions, noting that the total package was $95,000,000. An additional $30 million in
utility relocation costs associated with the su'eet improvement projects was being funded through a
one percent increase in the utility rate for three consecutive years.
Mr. Escobar covered two project timelines. Thc first project timeline was for street
improvements, and Mr. Escobar stated the city had made a cornmiBllent to have all the projects
either completed or under construction by November 2008. He stated staffused several criteria to
determine the timing of street closures, including impact on lraffi c and business access, coordination
with drainage projects, coordination with the projects of other governmental entities, and materials
costs. Consequently, he noted that staff had recommended that constxucfion work on major
thoroughfares such as Ayers Street and Gollihar Road or Everhart Road and Saratoga Boulevard not
Minutes - Council Retxeat
May 2, 2005 - Page 2
be worked on concurrently. Staffalso accounted for any right-of-way acquisition. Additionally,
staff was attempting to equalize the cash flow needed for construction throughout the four year
period. He pointed out the projects that were associated with TxDOT. He noted the drainage
improvements in the Sunaybrook/ManshJem and Lindale areas would be worked concurrently with
the street projects in these areas. To reduce supply costs and to expedite work, staff has also
recommended that clusters of projects be awarded to one contractor_
Mr. Escobar reviewed the second project timeline for the Public Health & Safety, Public
Facilities, Parks and Recreation, and Bayfront projects. He stated staff tried to coordinate
construction around Little League, golfing, and other major events to minimize disruptions.
Regarding the neighborhood parks improvements, Mr. Escobar noted these projects was scheduled
to be completed in-house by the park and recreation department_ Staffthen responded to questions
by Council members.
Assistant City Manager Oscar Martinez provided an update on the five-year f'mancial
forecast. He discussed the revenues sources for the general fund, more than half of which were
comprised of property tax (28 percent) and sales tax (23 percent) revenues. He noted that the 69
percent of the city's revenues sources were inelastic in that they were not under city conta'ol, and thus
difficult to adjust. Besides the aforementioned property tax and sales tax, the inelastic sources
included industrial district and franchise fees.
Mr. Martinez covered the sources of expenditures in the general fund. He said 51 percent
of expenditures are dedicated to public safety issues, followed by solid waste services at 10 percent,
and park and recreation/museum at 10 percent.
Mr. Martinez displayed a graph providing historical data on ad valorem tax net taxable values
between 1996 and 2004. Within the last two years, he noted a healthy percentage increase of 6.19
percent in 2003 and 7.73 percent in 2004.
Mr. Martinez also displayed a graph with historical data on sales tax collections. He noted
the sales tax revenues had increased substantially over the last two years. The percentage increase
in 2004 was 6.77 percent and 5.5 percent (estimate only) in 2005. He noted that the 2005 figures
were based on what was budgeted, and would probably come in higher than 5_5 percent.
Mr. Martinez provided a historical prospective of industrial debt payments in lieu of taxes.
He said the taxes were a hybrid of ad valorem taxes based on the appraised value of the property
located in the industrial district area (ia the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction).
Mr. Martinez briefly discussed franchise fee revenues, comprised of cable, AEP, and
telecommunication services. He pointed out a steady increase in cable revenues, which indicated
their services were expanding, but noted broadband services were not included due to pending
litigation. Regarding AEP, he said revenues had decreased since 2002 because of deregulation, and
the rates were being renegotiated. In addition, he reported the decrease in telecommunication
services was due to customer preferences for cell phone service over land line service. Although the
presentation material estimated the 2005 fi'anchise fee revenues to be $5.5 million, staffs adjusted
total was $4.6 million, creating a $900,000 shortfall.
Minutes - Council Retreat
May 2, 2005 - Page 3
Mr. Martinez provided a historical perspective on building permit activity. For the last ten
years, the number of permits issued was approximately 6,000. In 2003, however, he said 7,800
permits were issued, and in 2004, 7,100 permits were issued, substantially above the ten-year
average.
Mr. Martinez discussed the status of the General Fund unreserved fund balance. The City
Council passed a financial policy which set a goal of having the General Fund unreserved fund
balance equal to ten percent of the city's operating expenditures. Mr_ Martinez stated the city has
been more than successful in meeting this goal, going fi.om a low of $7,547 in 1995 (0.01 percen0
to $12,387,670 in 2004 (approximately 18 percent). The estimated amount in 2005-06 was $14.256
million.
Mr. Martinez discussed to the five-year financial forecast. First, he reviewed a number of
assumptions staffused to develop the projections as follows: revenues - a conservative 3 percent
increase in ad valorem and sales taxes; expenditures - 12 percent increase in group health insurance
contributions; 3 percent increase in fleet repair costs; and a 10 percent increase in Municipal
Information Services contributions. Second, he mentioned a change in the 2005-06 foreeast, namely
that the ambulance fund was being projected to be blended into the general fund to simplify a
number of financial ~xansactions.
Regarding net revenues, Mr. Martinez said s taffcouservatively projected a 2.2 percent annual
increase over five years, from $163.35 million in FY 2005-06 to $175.97 million in FY 2009-10_
Regarding total expenditures, he stated the increases were linked to the assumptions he had
previously mentioned. He highlighted an $11 million increase in expenditures projected between
FY 2004-05 ($155.97 million) and FY 2005-06 ($166.74 million). The $11 million increase could
be attxibuted to the 45 cadet police academy, the full funding of the Juvenile Court, and the
absorption of the ambulance fund into the general fund. In general, he said total expenditures were
projected to increase by 4.3 percent over the five year period.
Mr. Martinez also pointed out the projected surplus amounts needed under each fiscal year
to meet the fund balance goal, ranging from $800,000 in FY 2005-06 to $475,000 in FY 2009-10.
In addition, Mr. Martinez noted the FY 2005-06 projected budget did not include merit and
compensation allocations; rather, they commenced in the FY 2006-07 budget. Finally, Mr. Martinez
stated that though the city was currently in a growth mode, the five-year forecast could be subject
to economic downturus. Staff then responded to questions from the Council_
In conclusion, Mr. Martinez reviewed the preliminary budget calendar as follows: May 31 -
City Manager submitted the FY 2005-06 proposed budget to the City Council; June 14 - General
Fund overview; June 21 - Enterprise Fund overview; and June 28 - Other Funds overview; July 12 -
public hearing on budget/mary discussion; July 19 - First Reading of Budget adoption ordinance;
and July 26 - Second reading of Budget Adoption ordinance.
Mayor Gar~tt called for a brief recess. After the recess, City Manager Noe discussed the
status of the prior Council goals for 2003-05. As a general overview, Mr. Noe ~atod 18 goals were
set during the last Council term. Of these 18, eight were continuing goals/issues and 10 were new
priority issues. The eight continuing goals were as follows: charter revision; master drainage plan;
Minutes - Council Retreat
May 2, 2005 - Page 4
legislative agenda; Garwood water; increased CVB funding; new funding/inner city improvements;
trashy neighborhoods; and improved permitting process. He said the goals were reviewed during
mid-term, and a quarterly status report was issued during the budget report. The 10 new pfiorities
were as follows: long-term revenue picture; Bond 2004; revitalize downtown/Bayfront initiatives;
skate park; long-term storm water funding; ADA compliance; park master plan implementation
communication with other taxing entities; revisit SOB ordinance; and call center for city services.
Mr. Noe reported on the status of each goal, and then responded to Council members's questions.
Mr_ Scott Elliff, the retreat facilitator, led the discussion on the City Council's short and long-
term goals for this term. He reviewed the group norms for the retreat. He explained that prior to the
meeting, he had sent the Council members a questionnaire asking what they felt were ongoing key
imtiatives, critical issues to be addressed, and procedural issues to be addressed. (A copy of Mr.
EllifJ's report is attached)
Mr. Elliff reported the Council identified j ob growth development as a short-term priority
issue. The Council also identified the following priority issues as long-term goals: downtown
development; improved city/county relations; and intergovernmental relations. In addition, they
identified three new goals as follows: infrastructure improvements; neighborhood affordable housing
initiatives; and budget/finance processes and policies. Mr. Elliff asked the Council to develop
achievable goals for each initiative that could be accomplished in a year. The Council then discussed
those issues at length and city staffresponded to Council members' questions.
The Council also identified a number of other priority issues as follows: reth/nk/re-energize
the recycling program; support TAMU-CC downtown campus; bring DMC agreement for joint use
of the Fire Training facilities to Council; and receive plan from EDC for promotion of North Padre
Island Drive for business development.
Mr. Elliff stated the Council identified two possible procedural changes as follows: to
change the start time of the Council meeting; and to reduce the number of Council members required
to place an item on the agenda- The Council concurred that they did not wish to address these issues
at this time.
City Secretary Chapa discussed the Council meeting calendar for 2005-2006. The Council
concurred to cancel the following meetings: August 9, August 16, November 22, November 29,
December 27, 2005 and March 14, 2006.
There being no further business to come before the Council, Mayor Garrett adjourned the
Council retreat at 3:25 p.m. on May 2, 2005.

Facilities, Parks and Recreation, and Bayfront Master Plan projects. The proposed projects
target the City's most immediate needs to improve existing physical facilities, provide for growth,

Hydro-excavation to determine precise locations and utility classifications of
public and private utilities. This allows coordination with local utilities
EXHIBIT "A" I

franchises for the timely relocation and avoids costly delays during
construction.
(2)
Wastewater lines cleaning and televising (CCTV) to determine detailed
information on the condition and any required repairs/upgrades prior to the
street reconstruction.
(3)
Land acquisition. On critical projects, land acquisition is proceeding ahead of
the project design and being coordinated with the platting process. This
allows dedications in lieu of purchase of ROW and easements and avoids
future delays and costs for Utility relocations and/or street reconstruction.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The proposed project consists of the following improvements:
Phase 1 from Gollihar to SPID - Greenwood Drive is a major north-south arterial that
provides the west side area of the City with the main access to S.P.I.D. and other
major east-west arterials. In the early-to-mid 1990's, improvements were made to the
roadway south of S.P.I.D., this project continues improvements northerly from S.P.I.D.
The improvements will include the complete reconstruction of the existing pavement;
removal and replacement of selected curb and gutter and sidewalk, ADA curb ramps,
lane striping and pavement markings, water and wastewater improvements,
supplemental underground storm water system, traffic signal system improvements,
and new street lighting.
CONTRACT SUMMARY/FEE: A contract summary and fee is attached as Exhibit B.
FINAL PRODUCT: Design, Bid and Construction services will result in street improvements
including compliance with ADA requirements along Greenwood Drive, Phase 1, from Gollihar to
SPID.

In order to improve the delivery of the Bond Issue 2004 Street projects, the following processes
were added to the eady stages of the design phase:
(1)
More detailed and standardized Subsurface Utility Engineering to include
Hydro-excavation to determine precise locations and utility classifications of
public and pdvate utilities. This allows coordination with local utilities
franchises for the timely relocation and avoids costly delays dudng
construction.
(2)
Wastewater lines cleaning and televising (CCTV) to determine detailed
information on the condition and any required repairs/upgrades pdor to the
street reconstruction. {Not required on this project)
(3)
Land acquisition. On cdtical projects, land acquisition is proceeding ahead of
the project design and being coordinated with the platting process. This
allows dedications in lieu of purchase of ROW and easements and avoids
future delays and costs for Utility relocations and/or street reconstruction.
(Not required on this project)
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This project includes elevating the roadway between Graham Road and 'Hustlin Hornet Ddve to
alleviate frequent inundation dudng high tides that disrupts traffic flow. The road bed would be
raised an average of approximately two feet. The new pavement would be two 12-foot wide
lanes with four foot shoulders without curb and gutter. The major culvert south of Graham Road
would be extended to accommodate the widening and additional crossroad culverts installed to
accommodate drainage. A Corps of Engineers permit and mitigation for wetlands impacts will be
required. No utility work, sidewalks, curb and gutter or street lighting will be included in this
project.
It is the City's intent for the Engineer to complete the Final Design and USACE Permit approval
in November 2005 to allow construction to begin in January 2006. The dates listed within the
contract are scheduled as such to allow for overall City project planning with potential delays with
the Permit approval by Resource Agencies. The Engineer should work diligently to complete all
preliminary steps to accomplish the intended schedule.
CONTRACT SUMMARY/FEE: A contract summary and fee is attached as Exhibit B.
FINAL PRODUCT: Design, Bid and Construction services will result in street
improvements to alleviate street flooding conditions and allow the flow of traffic dudng
weather events on Laguna Shores Road between Graham and 'Hustlin Hornet.

from Greenwood Drive to Richter Ditch.
PROJECT BACKGROUND: The Lift Station Improvements & Carolyn Heights Diversion to
Greenwood Plant project eliminated three lift stations, rebuilt the Kostoryz Road Lift
Station, and constructed a 30-inch gravity sanitary sewer main that parallels Saratoga
Boulevard from the Greenwood Wastewater Treatment Plant to Ayers Street. The purpose
of this 30-inch gravity main was twofold: 1) to intercept flows that would have gone to the
Oso Wastewater Treatment Plant; and 2) to provide for future gravity service for property
owners along Saratoga Boulevard.
CHANGE ORDER BACKGROUND: This project (Change Order No. 6 - Saratoga Utility
Improvements from Greenwood Drive east to Sarah Drive) will allow the nine property
owners along this portion of Saratoga Boulevard to receive sanitary sewer service from the
City as requested and eliminate the need for septic tanks. This will improve the public
health and the environment. The 12-inch gravity sanitary sewer line installed as part of this
project will tie in to the 30-inch gravity sanitary sewer main installed dudng the Lift Station
Improvements & Carolyn Heights Diversion to Greenwood Plant. The Saratoga utility
Improvements project also includes the installation of a 12-inch water line along Saratoga
Boulevard parallel to the 12-inch gravity sanitary sewer line.
Currently, TxDOT is reconstructing Saratoga Boulevard from La Voile Creek to SH 286
(Ayers). The TxDOT project required the removal of several City utilities including a 10-
inch sanitary sewer force main and a gas line. Additionally, the water services for the
property on the north side of Saratoga Boulevard were too shallow for the proposed
pavement, so these properties are being served by a temporary water line that is routed
along the ground surface on the north side of Saratoga. The new 12-inch water line will be
installed to alleviate this temporary situation.
TxDOT has awarded the contract for reconstruction of portions of Saratoga Boulevard from
Querna Vaca to SH 286 (Ayers). Since the TxDOT project is located on TxDOT's right-of-
way and this utility change order project is on newly acquired city easement, TxDOT
regulations did not allow for applying directly to the TxDOT contractor for a change order.
The TxDOT work is now in progress, necessitating moving expeditiously with this change
order.
CHANGE ORDER DESCRIPTION: The additions to the contract are as follows:
PART A - WASTEWATER: six sanitary sewer manholes; approximately 1,700
linear feet of 12" PVC sanitary sewer collection main; approximately 500 linear feet
of 8" PVC sanitary sewer main; caliche and concrete driveway repair; removal and
replacement of fence; wellpoints; utilib/allowance; and removal of the existing septic
tanks - Total: $292,592.70
PART B - WATER: approximately 1,700 linear feet of 12" PVC water main and
related connections; four fire hydrants; caliche and concrete driveway repair;
removal and replacement of fence; and utility allowance - Total: $139,743.40
· TOTAL CHANGE ORDER AMOUNT: $433,336.10
CONTRACT TERMS: This change order will require an additional 90 calendar days.

PROJECT BACKGROUND:
The Broadway Wastewater Treatment Plant Diversion Project contains the following two
(2) projects as follows:
· Project 1 - A new 48-inch gravity line and construction of a new lift station at Resaca
Street. A 48-inch diameter line will begin at the terminus of the 36-inch line which
will serve the proposed ball park and downtown area. It will continue to the new lift
station at the intersection of Resaca Street and Sam Rankin Street.
Project 2 - A new 36-inch gravity line will be constructed from the south side of IH
37, from Leopard Street to West Broadway Boulevard. Also, a new 24-inch line will
be constructed along Antelope Street from Palm Street to Doss Street.
The new Resaca Street Lift Station is being constructed next to the existing Broadway
Wastewater Treatment Plant. Dudng the intedm phase, it will have three submersible
pumps and will be designed to handle a peak flow of 20 MGD. The lift station is designed
for ultimate capacity of 40 MGD peak flow. It will be provided with an odor control system,
dual power source to comply with TCEQ rules, and the site will be fenced and landscaped.
A new 48-inch gravity line, approximately 1,300 feet in length, will be constructed between
the existing headworks of the Broadway Wastewater Treatment Plant and the new lift
station. This new 48-inch line will have enough capacity and depth to handle flows from the
proposed baseball stadium and Bayfront Arena area. This lift station will ultimately serve as
the main lift staUon for the new wastewater plant in the industrial area and will
accommodate all the flow from the entire Broadway Service area.
CHANGE ORDER NO. 3
The City is planning to install a new sanitary sewer force main that will connect to the
Buckingham Estates Lift Station, which is located on the southwest comer of the Staples
and Yorktown intersection. The new force main is needed in order to accommodate
anticipated growth on the south side of the City. A pdvate construction contract is
scheduled to begin on the southeast comer of the Staples and Yorktown intersection. In
order to avoid having to dig up that area after the pdvate construction has been completed,
the City plans to install the 36-inch diameter steel casing and 18-inch PVC force main prior
to the private construction getting underway.
CHANGE ORDER NO. 5 DESCRIPTION: Change Order No. 4 consists of the addition
of 3 bid items to the existing contract with Holioman Corporation:
The new Resaca Lift Station, that is currently under construction, is immediately
west of, and abuts, the Broadway Wastewater Treatment Plant. Currently, there
is a drainage ditch that separates these two facilities. Because of this ditch,
there is no direct access between the two facilities. To access one facility from
the other would require leaving each facility by vehicle to gain access to the
other facility.
This change order will serve three functions as follows:
EXHIBIT "A"
Page 3 of 4 I
1. Enclose the ditch using a 24-inch Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP),
with strategically placed inlets, to continue for adequate drainage.
2. Provide a sidewalk that will allow pedestrian traffic between the two
facilities.
3. Provide a gate in the fence between the facilities so that each will be
a separate, securable facility.
Bid Price: $43,895.45
2. As Change Order No. 3 to this contract, the construction of a portion of a future
force main was authorized at the Yorktown/Staples intersection. Currently, at
the southeast comer of the intersection, a Circle K convenience store is under
construction. The portion of the future force main is to be installed so that future
disruptions to the Circle K can be avoided.
Change Order No. 3 required the contractor to do exploratory excavations to
vedfy the locations of existing utilities bel"ore attempting installation of the new
force main.
Dudng the course of this exploration, existing utilities were found to be deeper
than indicated by available records. This necessitates installing the future
force main as much as 3.5 feet deeper than originally planned. This additional
3.5 feet in depth puts the installation below the level of the water table.
Therefore, special dewatedng using a wellpoint system will be required to
proceed with the intended construction_ This change order is for the dewatedng
system.
Bid Price: $7'8,791.74
As part of this project, a very deep 48 - inch sanitary sewer was laid along
Resaca Street between Sam Rankin and Tancahua. Resaca Street is the
northern limit of the Broadway Wastewater Treatment. Plant. Soil bodngs
dudng the design phase indicated the types of soils that would be encountered
and the elevation of the expected groundwater. However, dudng actual
construction, the groundwater conditions were found to have changed from
when the soil bodngs were taken. The elevation and quantity of water was
much higher. This condition required additional dewatedng procedures and
techniques that could not be foreseen based on the soil bodng information.
This change order compensates the contractor for the additional dewatering.
Bid Price: $19,780.99
This Change Order will add an additional 20 calendar days to the existing contract.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
COUNCIL ACTION DATE: May 31, 2005
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution recognizing the public necessity of acquiring fee simple title to
a tract of land containing 2.286 acres out of the Enriquez Villareal Survey A-l, also being
out of Section 11, Bohemian Colony Lands, from the owners of record being the Estate of
Paul Snyder, Deceased and the Frances Snyder Trust., for the construction of drainage
improvements in connection with the Club Estates Channel Improvement Project, Phase 2
(#2238) and other municipal purposes, and authorizing acquisition by means of
negotiations or eminent domain proceedings by the City of Corpus Chdsti in acquiring the
property_
ISSUE: The acquisition of additional drainage right-of-way is necessary for the second
phase of the Club Estates Channel Improvement Project. The curTent width of the
channel is 90 feet and contains steep banks making maintenance difficult. The proposed
width of 170 feet will allow the City to widen the steep-sloped ditch thus providing additional
drainage capacity, easier maintenance capability and improved access on each side.
Negotiations for the right-of-way are still in progress; however there is a possibility for the
need of eminent domain proceedings. This resolution proclaims a public necessity for the
right-of-way and authorizes the City of Corpus Chdsti to proceed with condemnation where
negotiations have reached an impasse.
FUNDING: No funding is required at this time.
RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the resolution as presented.

Services with J. R. Thompson, P. E. in the amount of $5,400 for the Club Estates
Channel Drainage Study.
2. February 13, 2004 - Executed Amendment No. 1 to the Small Agreement for
Architect/Engineer Consultant Services with J. R. Thompson, P. E. in the amount of
$19,400, for a total re-stated fee of $24,800.
PROJECT BACKGROUND: This drainage project provides for vadous channel
improvements to the Club Estates Channel facility which extends from the Schanen
Channel to Everhart Road. Phase 1 of the project, Schanen Channel to Sanders Dr., has
been completed. In this narrow 90-foot dght of way, the slopes were very steep making it
difficult to propedy maintain the channel. The sides were prone to erosion and slope
failures. In this phase, widening of the channel was not an option due to residential
development to the north side of the channel and the Dawson Elementary school
playground on the south side. The open channel was then eliminated and replaced by an
underground box culvert system.
The upcoming Phase 2 will include improvements to the next 2,000 linear foot of open
channel between Sanders Ddve and Everhart Road. The proposed width of 170 feet will
allow the City to widen the steep-sloped ditch thus providing additional drainage capacity,
easier maintenance capability and improved access on each side. The first 1,100 feet of
the existing channel will remain an open channel whereas a 10-foot by 6-foot box will be
installed the final 900 linear feet parallel to Everhart Road.
City Land Acquisition staff has been in prolonged negotiations with Bryan Holmes,
successor trustee of the Estate of Paul Snyder and Frances S nyder Trust. There is a wide
difference in values between the City's appraisal and the landowner's appraisal. To fulfill
good faith negotiations, City staff made an administrative set'dement offer above the
appraised value. The settlement offer was rejected. If final negotiations reach an impasse,
City staff will seek acquisition resolution using eminent domain proceedings.

AGENDA BACKGROUNDINFORMATION
SUBJECT: Packery Channel South Parking Lot Project (Windward/St. Augustine
Seawall Parking Lot)
FUTURE COUNCIL ACTION: Award of construction contract to complete South Parking
Lot.
PROJECT BACKGROUND:
During the state legislative session in 1995, with corrective language in the session of
1997, an agreement was reached with the Padre Island seawall property owners and all of
the other concerned interests on the rolling beach easement issue. Under state law, there
is a rolling beach easement extending landward 200 feet from high tide. By the middle
1990's, the beach in front of the Padre Island seawall had eroded to less than 50 feet. This
caused severe impairment of the land titles to the property immediately behind the seawall.
In the legislative agreement, a compromise was reached under which the eastern edge of
the private property was established as the toe of the seawall. The public was given a
pedestrian easement along the entire seawall and the property owners behind the seawall
were required to provide a piece of property adjacent to the seawall to the City in an
acreage amount that would allow sufficient parking for the seawall. (In order to close
any porlion of the beach to vehicular traffic, under state law there must be parking available
and accessible to that beach area equal to 1 space for each 15 lineal feet of beach
closed.)
The City assisted the property owners with their joint purchase and dedication of property
to the city by providing financing from one of the City's specialty corporations. For the
City's pad of the compromise, the City agreed to accept the land and to eventually use the
land for parking. The construction of the parking lot was included in the tax incremental
finance plan for the Packery Channel TIF zone. In order for the parking lot to be complete
by Fall 2005, a small NE Contract for Professional Services must be awarded so design
and construction may be completed.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This appropriation will provide for the award of a small NE
Contract for Prol~essional Services for design of the parking lot.

community on 3.93 acres.
· The proposed PUD-2 compliments the adjacent PUD-2 property to the east.
Recommendation:
Approval of a Planned Unit Development -2 (PUD-2) under the current "A-T" Apartment-Tourist District

for lower-density residential uses. The PUD-2 overlay designation would allow for the garden home
development within Ocean Village Estate, Block 1, Lots 1, 2 and 3, subject to the following eight (8)
condihons:
1. Permitted Use: Allow for the construction of a garden home development consisting of not more than

Mrs. Holly provided graphics of the subject property and the surrounding area. The zoning report
and tape are on file.
Mrs. Holly stated that more planned unit developments are coming into the city due to the fact
that it is a fairly friendly business in our city as opposed to larger cities. The property tn question is on
the corner of Ocean Drive and Airline Road. It is a vacant piece of property with a cemetery located in
the rear. The purchaser's proposed development plan includes a zoning change ofa plaimed development
on top of the "AT" zoning designation. The applicant would retain all the right's that would pertain to the
"AT" or an alternate development plan that would limit their overall dwelling umts to no more than 43
units with each unit separated by seven feet. All units would be served by private s~eets with a potential
drive way opening on Ocean Drive so tenants could receive the prestigious address listing with a
secondary access offofAifline Road. The units would require meeting a 10' 6" setback from the drive
isle so the driver's head can clear the garage before it hits the traffic pattern that would be in the private
street. They are limiting their density; it is currently at 43 units to the acre which would yield
approximately 170 dwelling units that can be done today by right of this property. The applicant is
voluntarily restricting that number down to 43 units (roughly 11 units to the acre). The applicant is also
requesting to limit the height by 35 feet to allow a three story building. The applicant is intending to
build this out to one phase to begin construction in two years and complete within five. Staffis
recommending approval. Twenty notices were mailed with one in favor and one in opposition.
In response to Chairman Berlanga's question, Mrs. Holly stated that It is 3.93 acres with a density
of 11 units to the acre as opposed to the 43 allowed by right.
Public hearing was opened
Jack Sulka, Architect. 6262 Weber stated that he is representing buyers John Fowler and Bruce
Jones of California. There is currently a sales contract with Mr. Sammy Kins to purchase the property.
There would be an opportunity to fence the property as a gated cornrnunity. We are attracting people to
our city. The units will be different from the exterior and brick. We are speaking to different contractors
from California and Texas. Urban Engineering will be doing all the engineering work for this particular
project.
In response to Commissioner Zamora's question, the price of the land and unit is being negotiated
at this time. The range would include from $350,000 to $450,000 with over 2,000 square feet. lots of
amenities, imgated and conlxol access to the property.
The public hearing was closed.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
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 faidy based on those conditions.
CH2MHilt, 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 Depar/ment.
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 a[lached.
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 Cib/s water rate ordinance.

CONTRACT SUMMARY
SCOPE OF SERVICES
A 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 ga[ns 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 pattems, cost of service and revenue requirement allocations, City po)icy
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-fnendly format; or
use an alternative model proposed by Consultant.
El, 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 efforts 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 pdor 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-it" forecasting capabilities in a straightforward, easy-to-
understand, and printable layout. Such altemative models must permit model editing features to
address change. Such alternative models must allow for updating while preserving the history
of data from pdor 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 o[ efforis 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 o[ 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 lot/acreage 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 stakeholder groups.
H. Task 8- Model Training and Transfer
The Consultant will initiate a follow-on effod to train 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.
