Authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute a lease with the United States
Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration, in consideration of
operation and maintenance of Outer Marker facilities from October 1, 2005 through
September 30, 2015.

vote: Garret't, Chesney, Garcia, Kelly, Kinnison, Marez, and Scott, voting "Aye"; Cooper was
absent; Noyola abstained.
Mayor Garrett opened discussion on Item 14 regarding the Home Road Street Reconslruction
Project. Mr. Garcia stated he had the same concern regarding Items l 4 and 15. Regarding the Home
Road Street Reconstruction project, he asked why the project had experienced so many delays. City
Engineer ,3mgel Escobar reported that the city had achieved savings on other Bond 2000 projects
which they were able to apply to the Home Road project. He said today's change order, affecting
Home Road from Kostoryz Road to Ayers Street, would make the road more driveable by creating
better transitions between side streets. Mr. Garcia stated he had understood that increased costs for
asphalt and concrete may have caused the delays, but it appeared this was not the case. Mr. Escobar
answered affirmatively.
Mr. Garcia asked for the estimated completion date for the project. Mr. Escobar replied the
estimated completion date was August 2005. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes
as follows:
14. MOTION NO. 2005-208
Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute Change Order No. 7 to the
construction contract with Haas-Anderson Construction, Ltd., of Corpus Christi, Texas in
the amount of $84,290 for the Home Road Street Reconstruction Project from Ayers to
Kostoryz. (BOND ISSUE 2000)
The foregoing motion was passed and approved with the following vote: Garrett, Chesney,
Garcia, Kelly, Kinmson, Marez, Noyola, and Scott, voting "Aye"; Cooper was absent.
Mayor Garrett opened discussion on Item 15 regarding a contract for Project Management
Services related to Bond 2004 projects. Mr. Garcia stati:d a number of subcontractors bidding for
these projects had expressed concern about the services of the Construction Manager (CM),
Anderson Group Construction Management. He felt uncomfortable with the price increases on bids,
and asked if staffhad noticed any correlation between price increases and the CM for the project.
Assistant City Manager Ron Massey replied negatively. He added that the use of Construction
Management firms had enabled staffto manage all the C1P projects by extending city staff. These
services included project management and/or construction and inspection. He stressed that all of the
projects were managed by Mr. Escobar and in-house engineering staff, and some of the field work
was done by outside firms. He said Mr. Escobar was addressing issues raised by the subcontractors,
but stated that some concems did not reach him. Mr. Eseobar stated he was familiar with the
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
June 28, 2005 - Page 10
subcontractors' concerns, and was trying to correct them. Mr. Massey added that staff considered
the Constrnction Management to be an extension of city staff; thus, if there were problems with the
CMs, then it was city staff's responsibility to address it. He asked the subcontractors to bring their
concerns directly to him and Mr. Escobar so they could be addressed.
In response to Mr Noyola, Mr. Massey said the CMs provide technical information (e.g.
pricing) in support of staff's decision making Mr. Massey added that the cost for Construction
Management services was between one or two percent of the actual bond expenditures. For the
money, he said the CMs bring expertise that it would hard for the city to f'md in the workforce. He
also stated the bond projects were short-term projects (1-2 years) and it would be difficult to hire
individuals to serve during a temporary timeframe.
Mr. Scott stated the subcontractors had also contacted Nm with their concerns. He felt there
was an internal bureaucracy that inhibited the subcontractor's ability to complete the work on time.
He said the CMs were useful in streamlining the process so the work would be completed on a timely
basis, ultimately keeping costs down. Mr. Massey pointed out that a good design was also a critical
factor in determining whether a project would be completed on time.
Mayor Garrett asked what staff did when the work was unsatisfactory, using the Gollihar
Road project as a case in point. Mr. Escobar stated stafftried to resolve the issues by talking with
the inspector and making the necessary repairs before accepting the project. Mayor Garrett
emphasized that the city needed to concentrate on quality work, which he believed the city was not
getting at this point. If more money needed to be expended to get quality work, then he felt it was
worth it. City Manager Noe replied he did not feel the city accepted or tolerated substandard work_
He said there was a process involved to address problems with a project, especially when under
warranty. He said virtually every project had a number of sections that had to be reworked and
repaired by the contractor because of the nature of the work. Mayor Garrett reiterated that the city
should focus on obtaining quality work from contractors. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council
for their votes as follows:
15. MOTION NO. 2005-209
Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute a Contract for Project
Management Services ~n the amount of $1,158,000 with Anderson Group Construction
Management, Inc., of Corpus Christi, Texas for various Capital Improvement Projects
associated with the 2004 Bond Election; subject to availability of funds.
The foregoing motion was passed and appmved with the following vote: Garrett, Chesney,
Garcia, Kelly, Kinnison, Marez, Noyola, and Scott, voting "Aye"; Cooper was absent.
Mayor Garrett opened discussion on Item 16 regarding the Marina Boater's Facility project.
Mr. Garcia stated he had been contacted about regarding concerns about the way the bid process was
conducted. Mr. Escobar replied he opened all the bids for the city to ensure that the bidding process
was consistent. He explained what stafflooked for in a bid, including the bid bond, and power of
attorney, and acknowledgment of addenda_ During this particular bid process, he said KJM
Commercial, who ended up being the low bidder, indicated on their form that they had not received
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
June 28, 2005 - Page 11
the acknowledgment of addenda. Mr. Escobar stated engineering staffconsulted the City Attorney's
Office to determine whether the bid should be considered non-responsive, which would disqualify
the bid, or irregular. He said he asked a representative from the company to verify that they had not
acknowledged the receipt of the addenda. In this case, he said a woman came forward and said she
x~as not sure, but she would call and check. Mr. Escobar stated staft; after consulting with the City
Attorney's Office, declared the bid an irregular bid, and then proceeded reading the other bids. The
KJM representative stepped out to make the call, and then came back in and said they had received
the addenda. Later that afternoon, Mr. Escobar stated staff received a letter from KJM stating they
had received the addenda but had failed to note it on the bid. They said the price did include the
work.
In response to Mr. Noyola's question, Mr Escobar said bid irregularities occurred on a
fYequent basis, which was why staffmade it a point to consult with the City Attorney's Office. Mr.
Noyola stated he had received information showing that KJM Commercial's bid was the third bid
to be read. At this point, he said KJM's representative had already heard the prices for two bids
before making the phone call regarding the acknowledgment of addenda. Thus, he said it was
suspicious that the company ended up with the low bid because she may have let her company know
the prices of the first two bids so they could decide whether to continue with the bid or not Mr.
Escobar agreed, but said their bid was still declared irregular. Mr. Noyola pointed out the second
lowest bidder was akeady doing the work on the project for the city, while the low bidder had never
done business with the city.
Mr. Noyola understood there were companies protesting the bid. Mr. Escobar answered
affirmatively, saying the second bidder, CamRett Construction, and the third bidder, SalCon
Construction, were contesting any award to the first or second bidder. Mr. Noyola asked what would
become of the protest if the Council were to approve the low bid today. City Manager Noe replied
the outcome of the protest was determined by the Council rather than any other authority. Mr.
Escobar added staffdid not feel there was sufficient justification to keep them from recommending
award to the lowest bidder. Thus, he said staffrecommended that the Council waive the irregularity
in the lowest bid. However, if the Council chose not to waive the irregularity, then they could award
the bid to the second lowest bidder to avoid re-bidding the project.
Mr. Kelly stated it was important to use the lowest bidder that could produce a quality project
to save ~xpayers money. He said his only concern was the integrity of the bidding process itself.
At the time the letter was sent, Mr. Kelly asked if KJM knew what all the bid prices were_ Mr.
Escobar answered affn'matively. Mr. Kelly stated that it was possible then that KJM was bidding
on a smaller job but then decided to take the job even with the extra work. Mr. Escobar replied
affirmatively, saying staff was looking at the bidding process and the documentation requested to
clarify what constitutes a reject, non-responsive or irregular bids to address this in the future. In
response to Mr. Kelly's question, Mr. Escobar replied CamRett, the second lowest bidder, did have
a mistake in the bid bond wording, but not to the extent where it was declared an irregular bid.
Mr. Noyola made a motion to not waive the irregular bid submitted by the lowest bidder and
to award the bid to the second lowest bidder instead, seconded by Mr. Garcia. City Secretary Chapa
polled the Council for their votes on Mr. Noyola's motion to amend as follows: Garrett, Crarcia,
Marez, and Noyola, voting "Aye"; Chesney, Kelly, Kinnison, and Scott, voting "No"; Cooper was

The foregoing motion was passed and approved with the following vote: Garrett, Chesney,
Garcia, Kelly, Kinnison, Marez, and Scott, voting "Aye"; Noyola, voting "No"; Cooper was

Mayor Garrett opened discussion on Item 18 regarding a lease for a food service operation,
Carson's Deli and Catering, in Heritage Park. Mr. Marez noted there was only one response to the
RFP issued by staff. He asked if staff had been approached with any other ideas on how to utilize
the buildings in Heritage Park. Director of Parks and Recreation Sally Gavlik replied the city was
making repairs to the McCampbell House in preparation to issue an RFP to solicit retail uses in this
building on the first floor. She said the second floor of the house was being used for office space.
Mx. Marez asked for more information on Carson's Deli. Mx. Gustavo Valadez Ortiz stated Mr.
Brian Carson had been the executive chef for the Republic of Texas for many years. He left to open
his own deli on the south side which has been in business for about a year. City Secretary Chapa
polled the Council for their votes as follows:
18. ORDINANCE NO. 026324

*************
Mayor Garrett opened discussion on Item 22 regarding an appeal by SDI Realty of a
Development Services department decision denying multiple driveway accesses on Airline Road for
a proposed development located at 1502 Airline Road. Director of Development Services Barbara
Bailey Holly explained during the development of the Lowe's shopping center site on Airline Road
and South Padre Island Drive (SPID), two main concerns arose regarding access management and
drainage. She said staff discussed the access management issue with the Duplantis Group, Lowe's
engineering firm, and it was concluded that two driveways would be allowed from Airline Road and
two from Williams Drive to serve the entire Lowe's development. Subsequently, in January 2005,
she reported the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) issued a permit for driveway access
to the SPID Frontage Road limited to one access point.
Ms. Holly stated Lowe's then sold a portion of their property, located on the comer of Airline
and SPID (Shannon Middle School Tract, Block 1, Lots, 2, 3 and 4), to SDI Realty which prompted
the submittal of a re-plat for tl'fis property. Staff, in its comments to the Planning Commission on
December 1, 2004, recommended that no additional driveways be permitted from Lot 4 to Airline
Road consistent with the earlier negotiations; rather, it was thought that the properties would be
accessed internally from the Lowe's site. Subsequently, in May 2005, SDI Realty submitted a
cormmercial consttuction plan for the Padre Commons Plaza development indicating two additmnal
driveways on Airline Road. In further discussions, she said staff then allowed one additional
driveway (fight-in and right-out) at the southern edge of Lot 4 on Airline Drive_
Ms. Holly explained why staff was opposed to the additional driveways on Airline Road.
She said previously, the traffic volumes on Airline Drive were low, so driveways near the
intersection were not an issue. As traffic volumes have increased over the yea.rs, she said the
location and spacing of driveways becomes more important because of safety issues. Rear-end
collisions, side swipes, and left-turn vehicle collisions are more prevalent when closely spaced heavy
traffic. Eventually, she said raised medians would be needed to address the safety issues in the long
tenn.
Ms. Holly stated staff was undertaking an ongoing study of access management issues
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
June 28, 2005 - Page 14
throughout the city, most recently on Everhart Road. She briefly mentioned a number of findings
in the study, including the need to follow established roadway hierarchy; limit conflict points;
providing spacing between conflict points; provide turn lanes; and create side street connectivity.
She said staffs goal was to avoid making these same mistakes on Airline Road.
Ms. Holly stated that Development Services's goal was to safeguard safe and adequate access,
balancing the business access needs with commuter traffic safety. She said studies conducted of
businesses within areas where access management had been implemented show that improved
driveway spacing and design, alternative access and installation of nontraversable medians have
virtually no adverse impact on business activity. She said inadequate access management can cause
a 10 percent reduction in average travel speeds, possibly leading to a 20 percent business loss of its
market area.
Ms. Holly reported that when Lowe's sold the comer lot to SDI Realty, they sold the property
with the understanding that SDI would have to comply with a "non-compete" clause if they wished
to gain access to their property through the Lowe's site. A "non-compete" clause would not allow
SDI tenants to sell anything that Lowe's currently sells. SDI does not wish to be limited in this way,
and thus has chosen not to use the access point of the SPID Frontage Road. SDI now has to obtain
access to Airline Road and SPID on their own, which placed them in a difficult position.
Ms. Holly answered the Council's questions regarding the access management issues in the
subject property. Mr. Scott stated he did not feel SDI's request for two driveways on Airline Road
would be significantly unsafe, with the exception of allowing for left-hand turns into the subject
property. He questioned why staff wasn't addressing the left-hand turn issue now, saying this was
a bigger safety issue than an extra curb cut. Assistant City Manager Ron Massey replied that the left-
hand turn into the subject property off of Airline was not a problem right now.
Mr. Chesney spoke against staffs recommendation, stating that since SDI was not able to get
access to their property offof SPID, the city should help the developer by providing one more access
point on Airline Road. He also felt the city should eliminate the ability to make a left-hand turn into
the subject property offofAirline Road. Mr. Kevin St. Jacques, city's traffic engineering consultant,
stated the proposed second driveway was located in the right-turn lane, and it was not advisable to
place a driveway in this area. Ms. Bailey added that limiting the access points would actually
improve the access to the building. Mr. Chesney suggested the city could control the second access
point by placing barriers up to ensure that motorists to prohibit left-hand turns.
Mr. Kinnison asked how long SDI had known about the access management issues regarding
the subject propen'y. Ms. Holly replied that Lowe's engineering firm, the Duplanfis Group, was the
same firm used by SDI Realty, so they should have know about issues fi.om the beginning.
In response to Mr. Kelly's question, Ms. Holly stated at the Planning Commission meeting,
SDI stated that if they were to use the driveway on the eastern edge of the subject property, then
Lowe's would not allow SDI's tenants to sell anything that Lowe's sells.
Mr. Scott noted there were three existing curb cuts near the comer lot on Airline Road, and
staff was recommending the removal of all except the one on the southern edge of Lot 4. He
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
June 28, 2005 - Page 15
suggested a compromise in which a second curb cut on Airline Road could be situated between the
two existing curb cuts slated for removal.
Mr. Noyola expressed concern that Lowe's could dictate the use of the subject property even
after it was sold by making private restrictions on access. He said he personally would not have
purchased the subject property under those conditions. Mr. Garcia asked if the engineering firm
working on the plat would have known these conditions ~vere in place. Ms. Holly replied
affirmatively.
Mayor Garrett asked for public comment. Mr. Michael Mora, SDI Realty construction
manager, and Mr. Matt Newchurch, civil engineer, explained that according to their interpretation
of Section X.c of the city's Driveway Design and Construction Standards manual, the two proposed
driveways were allowable. In fact, Mr. Mora said the amount of frontage he had assembled entitled
them to three, full-access curb cuts. He agreed that left-hand turns onto Airline Road should be
prohibited.
City Engineer ,~mgel Escobar clarified that Section X.c of the city's Driveway Design and
Construction Standards manual referred to a different situation. Assistant City Manager Massey
added the section regarding driveway restrictions prohibited driveway access in a channelized turn
Mr. Chesney spoke against staffs access management plan for fids property, saying it was
not pro-development.
Mr. Charlie Shears, owner of SDI Realty, stated Lowe's had not informed them that the
subject property had restricted access. He said SDI Realty prefers not to buy property with
restrictions because it limits the type of retailers they can attract. He requested two right-in, and two
right-out driveways w/th access to Airline Road. He said access to SPID didn't matter to them_ Mr.
Noe stated SDI was not interested in access to SPIEl because there was no practical way for them to
gain access without incurring restrictions from Lowe's.
Mr. Kelly asked Mr. Shears if he would agree to shifting the two driveways he was requesting
further to the south. Mr. Shears replied alTrrrnatively, as long as he was able to obtain two right-ins
and two right-outs.
Mr. Scott and Mr. Kinnison were skeptical that SDI Realty was unaware of the restrictions
in place regarding access to the subject property when they purchased the property. Mr. Shears
stated SDI was aware that the city and Lowe's had discussions regarding access regarding their
property, but were unaware of any access issues related to the this particulax tract of land_ He said
the lot, formerly the site of a Chinese food restaurant, was not part of the Lowe's acquisition; SDI
acquired the property independently. The site had three access points when they purchased it. Ms.
Holly stated SDI had to negotiate with Lowe's to acquire property from them to expand their
acquisition, creating one large lot. She said SDI should have known about the restrictions.
Mr. Marez spoke in support of granting SDI Realty's request for two driveways, and
advocated that the driveways be as far south as possible to keep the intersection clear.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
June 28, 2005 - Page 16
City Manager Noe stated the original plan for the Lowe's site did not include access to the
subject property. He said Mr. Shears stated to him in a conversation that he did not know about the
restrictions and expressed some dismay about the situation. Mr. Noe said at this point, he discussed
adding an access point to the parcel at his insistence to allow SDI to have some access independent
of the Lowe's plan. He said staff tried to work with him as best they could without impacting traffic
safety.
Mr. Kinnison spoke against the suggestion to allow two driveways but shift them as far south
as possible. He asked staff what they thought about it. Mr. Kevin St. Jacques, city's traffic
consultant, replied it was irregular to have driveways in a right-turn lane because of traffic safety
issues, but Mr. Chesney's suggestion to strongly channelize one of the driveways could be a possible
solution. City Engineer Escobar questioned whether there would be enough room to provide two
driveways. He said a compromise might be to have two separated driveways, one exclusively to
enter and one exclusively to exit. Mr. Shears did not agree with this compromise, saying he
preferred to have two right-ins and two right-outs because Mr. Escobar's compromise may lead to
congestion within the development.
In response to Mr. Kelly's question, Assistant City Manager Massey stated the requirement
to establish delineators to channelize the traffic ought to be paid for by the developer. He said the
delineators used in other developments in the city were often knocked down by motorists. Mr. Kelly
stated the only way to guarantee there would be no left-hand turns would be to put a median to cut
this off, but there seemed to be no immediate plans for this.
Mr. Chesney made a motion to sustain the appeal by SDI Realty of a Development Services
depmtment decision to deny multiple drive accesses on Airline Road to the proposed Padre
Commons Plaza development by granting two right-in and two fight-out driveways as far south on
Airline Road as possible with channeling and costs to be borne by the developer; seconded by Mr.
Scott. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes on Mr. Chesney's motion as follows:

Mayor Gm-rea opened discussion on Item 23, approval of the FY 2005-2006 Crime Control
and Prevention District Budget. There were no comments from the audience.
In response to Mr. Kinnison's question, City Manager Noe stated there were two changes
made to the budget since the last discussion. First, staff amended the revenue estimates to reflect
the same assumptions in terms of percentage growth as utilized in the general fund proposal.
Second, staff added the pawn shop detail as a program in the three remaining years of the budget_
Mr. Kinnison expressed concern regarding the general fund's capacity to support the pawn
shop detail. He asked Police Commander Bryan Smith how much the pawn shop detail program
would cost. Commander Smith replied the program would cost approximately $100,000, but noted
the previous estimate was $86,000. The $100,000 consisted of $41,000 for a management assistant,
and the remainder would fund three data entry clerk positions. Mr Kinnison stated the city could
contract out for the data entry clerk positions and save the city the cost of offering health benefits.
He also questioned why the management assistant position needed to be full-time. Mr. Kinnison also
questioned why the pawn shop detail program wasn't being funded out of the police department
budget, rather than the Crime Control and Prevention District budget, if they felt it was such a
priority. City Manager Noe replied the police department budget had a mandate to hlre more police
officers to get back up to staff, limiting their flexibility.
In response to Mr. Kinnison's question, City Attorney Fischer stated the Crime Control and
Prevention District could be amended alter adoption upon approval of the Crime Control District
Board and the Council. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:

for her efforts as well.
Mayor Garrett referred to the presentations on the day's agenda. The first presentation was
Item 27, a third quarter FY 2004-2005 budget/performance report. Assistant Director of
Management and Budget Eddie Houlihan noted the information in today's report represented
unaudited third quarter results. Regarding general fund revenues, he stated 81.38 percent of
budgeted revenue had been received by the third quarter. He said the city was on tract to meet
projections in the proposed budget The projection was $764,671, or one-half percent, higher than
the budgeted mounts. In addition, he said sales tax receipts were also on track to meet projections,
and Murficipal Court revenues were strong. He reported an increase in Solid Waste Services revenue
as a result of increased activity from two large vendors. Finally, he said franchise fees were on track
with projections but lower than budgeted mainly due to a decrease in the number of lines reported
for telecommunication fees. He said staffhad scheduled a teleconference w/th the PUC to discuss
the situation.
Regarding general fund expenditures, Mr. Houlihan stated that 69.4 percent of the budget was
expended with 75 percent of the year completed. He said there were no major variances at this time,
but staff was keeping an eye on rising fuel prices, especially as they affected the street and solid
waste departments. He said the city had been able to absorb the increase in fuel prices up to this
point. Mr. Houlihan then reviewed a number of graphs illustrating year-to-date (YTD) revenues and
expenditures in the general fund.
Mr. Houlihan briefly discussed the status of the enterprise funds, comprised of the water,
airport, ambulance, and golf funds. He said the water fund had experienced an increase in revenue
due mainly to rate increases and an increase in water usage for residential and commercial customers
inside the city The airport fund had also seen an increase in revenue associated with oil and gas
leases and overall improvements. Revenues in the ambulance fund also increased primarily because
the fee structure had resulted in increased Medicare and Medicaid payments. Finally, he said the golf
fund revenues were slightly off from budget due to construction, but were higher than the same time
the previous year. Mr. Houlihan reviewed a number of graphs illustrating YTD revenues and
expenditures in the enterprise funds.
Mr. Houlihan discussed the status of the internal service funds, which are budgeted
allocations for services to internal customers. The internal service funds are comprised of the stores
fund, maintenance services, and risk management. Mr. Houlihan stated the stores fund revenues
continued to increase primarily because staff was keeping high volume items in stock and was
communicating better with departments. The maintenance service revenues had also increased due
to increased fuel prices. Finally, he said the risk management fund reflected lower than budgeted
expenditures for health insurance, general liability, and workers' compensation_ Mr. Houlihan
reviewed a number of graphs illustrating YTD expenditures and revenues in the internal service
Mr. Houlihan discussed the status of the special revenues funds, comprised of the hotel
occupancy tax fund (HOT), the Reinvestment Zone No. 2 fund, and the Crime Control and
Minutes - Regular Councd Meeting
June 28, 2005 - Page 20
Prevention District fund. He reported the Hotel Occupancy Tax fund revenues were tracking about
six percent below budgeted levels ($6.6 million), and the city would need to see a "strong finish" to
meet projections in this area. The Reinvestment Zone No. 2 fund had also seen an increase in
revenues because of very favorable appraised values in the Packery Channel area. Finally, he stated
the Crime Control and Prevention District fund had also seen an increase in revenues mainly because
they had conservatively budgeted their sales tax revenue. Mr. Houlihan concluded by displaying a
number of graphs depicting the YTD revenues and expenditures in the special revenue funds.
Mr. Scott expressed concem that statistics from the Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB)
regarding the Hotel Occupancy Tax were not in line with the city's estimates. He said the CVB had
recently provided statistical data indicating that the economic picture was good, and had even
requested an increase in funding to continue their efforts. The city's estimates, however, did not
support this report City Manager Noe replied affirmatively, saying there appeared to be a disjoint
between what the city was seeing in terms of hotel occupancy rates and the resulting revenue stream_
He said the city was investigating the discrepancy, which could be attributed to individual pay
practices by certain hotels. Mr Kinnison added the CVB was supposed to be making an effort to
provide standardized reporting per their contract, so their figures would match what the State of
Texas's website showed. He also stated that a significant amount of hotel business was non-taxable
because it was driven by governmental use. Mr. Noe stated the city was considering adding an
incentive to the CVB contract to encourage them to follow-up with hotels to ensure payment of the
HOT tax.
The next presentation was Item 28, a third quarter report on the Health Benefits/Risk
Management Fund. Director of Human Resources Cynthia Garcia began by reporting on the status
ofthe health benefits fund. She displayed a graph depicting the number ofclaims filed by plan. She
noted the average number of claims per month was 6,343 this quarter, compared with 2004 third
quarter numbers of an average of 6,130 claims per month.
A second graph illnstrated the dollars paid by plan including prescriptions. Ms. Garcia stated
the average monthly amount paid in this quarter was $1,470,000, while last fiscal year, the average
monthly amount was $1,224,000.
A third graph depicted the cost per claim. Ms. Garcia stated the average cost per claim in
the third quarter was $234, while last fiscal year, the average cost was $199. She noted the Fire
Department's average claim was $412.87, up fi.om $365.69 per member last year this quarter. The
Police depa. tment cost was $484.71 per member, down from $493.78 last year this quarter_ Citicare
cost was $385.33 per member, compared with $326 per member.
Ms. Gan:ia reported that this quarter, staff included coverage for smoking cessation and
obesity to proactively affect the cost of health insurance in future years. In addition, she stated next
year's health insurance rates included a nine percent increase in Citicare and in Police, and a six
percent increase in Fire. In response to Mayor Garrett's question, Ms. Garcia reported retirees would
see a nine percent increase in health insurance rates.
Minutes - Regulax Council Meeting
June 28, 2005 - Page 21
Mayor Garrett asked Ms. Garcia to explain why health insurance rates were going up. Ms.
Garcia replied the city's health insurance rates were going up because health care costs were
increasing. Mayor Gm'rea asked staffto disseminate information to city employees explaining the
rationale for the cost increases. In response to Mr. Scott's comment, Ms. Gm-cia stated the premiums
were paid by the employee, but the cost increase was mostly subsidized by the city in the Citicare
and Police plans. In the Fire Plan, she said any cost increase was split evenly (50-50) by the city and
the employee.
Mr. Kiimison noted there was a new accounting change that would require the city to account
tbr the cost of retirees' benefits effective July 31, 2007. City Manager Noe explained the GASB
recording rules required that the city calculate retiree health care costs, particularly the amount the
city was subsidizing, and report it as a long-term liability. Mr. Kinnison added the new requirement
would require the city to decide whether to leave this unfunded liability or find a way to fund it. He
said the city would have to examine how long they can continue to provide the benefit. Health
Benefits Manager Quentin Masters stated the situation would be much worse if the city offered
guaranteed payment of premiums in their retirement, which it does not. Ms. Garcia stated the city
included retirees in the same pool as current city employees, but the retirees paid their own
premiums.
Ms. Garcia reported on the status of the Risk Management Fund, comprised of the workers'
compensation and general liability funds. Beginning with the workers' compensation fund, she
referred to a graph depicting incurred costs versus the paid costs. She said there was $757,833 In
incurred costs for the first nine months of this year, as opposed to $1,782,734 in incurred costs last
year at the same time. The total claims paid tiffs year in the first nme months was $525,498,
compared with $848,988 last year.
Ms. Garcia displayed a graph illustrating dollars paid in the current year for prior years'
claims. In the first nine months of this year, $1,670,468 was spent on prior year's claims. She said
the Police department was down by 29 claims, and the Fire department was down by 27 claims, and
the Solid Waste department was down by 35 claims. The Parks department was up by 15 claims,
Wastewater was up by six claims, and the All Other category was up by 44 claims.
Mr. Noyola expressed concern that employees were being released from limited duty before
they were physically ready to resume their full duties. He had heard from some employees who felt
the city's doctors at Concenlra were rushing them to resume their full duties to benefit the city. Ms_
Garcla replied the employees had the option to use their own physician. She stated that the city did
not rush employees back to work because of the risk of re-injury. If the employee had a problem
with Concentra, she said the city had medical case managers who could advocate for the employee.
She encouraged employees to speak with Ms. Cindy Papageorge, the city's DRC coordinator as well.
Ms. Garcia referred to a graph depicting year-to-date claims count by type of injury (period
ended April 30). She said inflammation was down by 50 percent; contusions were down by 23
percent; sprains were up by 13.5 percent; and punctures were up by 11 percent.
RegardIng the general liability fund, Ms. Garcia displayed a graph enumerating the liability
claims count by department. There were a total of 576 claims filed this year at this point, compared
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
June 28, 2005 - Page 22
to 686 claims last year in the first nine months. She said every department was down except for Fire,
which remained at the same level of 39 claims, and Park Maintenance, which increased slightly from
18 claims last year to 23 claims this year.
Ms. Garcia displayed a graph depicting incurred costs by department (claims filed). She
stated the city's incurred costs were up $36,426 for the first nine months of this year compared to last
year. The Police department, however, was down by $285,108, and the Water department was up
5181,354.
Ms. Garcia referred to a graph illustrating dollars paid in current year for previous years'
claims (as of April 30, 2005), totaling $1,114,208 in the first nine months of this year.
Finally, Ms. Garcia displayed a graph depicting the types of claims for the period ended April
30. She said vehicle damage was the number one type of claim, but it was down to 291 claims from
327 claims in the first nine months of this year. Property damage was down by 57 claims to 162
claims in the first nine months.
The next presentation was Item 29, an update on the design, implementation, and evaluation
of the Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) and Automated Meter Reading (AMR) pilot projects. Director of
Municipal Information Services (MIS) Ogilvie Gericke reviewed the history of the numerous issues
facing the city's current manual meter reading services, concluding that staffhad determined it was
prudent to evaluate if Automated Meter Reading (AMR) was a more cost eff'ective solution.
As part of the evaluation, Mr. Gericke stated the projected cost estimates indicated that AMR
was a viable alternative to manual meter reading; and the sharing of infrastructure with other
wireless systems was also desirable. Subsequently, the city contracted with Public Technology, Inc.
(PTI) for the design, implementation, and evaluation of AMR and Wi-Fi pilot projects. In addition,
the city contracted with Northrop Gmmman and TROPOS for installation of the AMR and Wi-Fi
pilot systems.
Mr. Gericke discussed the project goals for the AMR and Wi-Fi pilot projects as follows:
automated meter reading for municipal gas and water services; and put extra Wi-Fi mesh network
bandwidth to use for public works and public safety applications as well as public access.
Mr. Geficke provided a status report on the AMR pilot, saying the project was in its final
stages. The city had installed 4,262 meters, and had problems with only 42 meters. The meters were
being read twice a day, and had been successfully interfaced with the Utility billing system. Staff
was finalizing cost projections for Council presentation in July or August 2005. Funding for Phase
1 of the citywide deployment was included in the FY 2005 CIP program.
Mr. Gericke provided a status on the W~-Fi pilot project. He said the pilot was completed
at a cost of $1,041,200. A contract in the amount of $79,950 was awarded for consulting service to
support the Digital City Initiative. The citywide deployment cost was expected to be $5,934,875,
and the MIS budget request for FY 2005-2006 included funding for operation and maintenance. Mr_
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
June 28, 2005 - Page 23
Gericke then displayed a map of the AMR and Wi-Fi pilot areas.
Mr. Gericke discussed the security measures being taken to protect the integrity of the Wi-Fi
system. They employed a multi-layered security model including the following elements: TROPOS -
encryption between devices; PRONTO - secure sign-on; VPN and Netilla - secure internet access;
CISCO - firewall protection; and VLAN - separation between communication links.
Mr. Gencke briefly discussed the anticipated results of the AMRJ~Vi-Fi systems. He said the
system would provide an opportunity to increase efficiencies, citizen satisfaction, and energize
economic vitality. In addition, Corpus Christi was the first city out of 10 cities worldwide to be
named to Intel's Digital City Initiative. City Manager Noe remarked that Intel would soon undertake
an intensive marketing effort to publicize the program. He said Intel would use developments from
this initiative for marketing their chips to computer manufacturers worldwide.
Mr. Gencke discussed the Digital City concept in more detail. The concept vision was to
create a connected community that combined broadband communication infrastructure and
innovative services to better meet the needs of governments and their employees, citizens, and
businesses. The Digital City concept was designed to be a multi-year program; provide proof of
concept by multiple partners; obtain measurable results; strengthen economies; and ensure citizen
access to services.
Mr. Gericke stated staffhad begun forming cooperative parmerships to develop and test the
"proof of concepts" and had begun work on a business plan. They issued an initial call for
partnerships and received numerous responses from SBC, Sprint, CellNet, Northrop Gmmman;
RightWay; Pronto; NextPhase; and Novax. They also met with representatives fi.om the Corpus
Christi Independent School District; Downtown Management District, Regional Transportation
Authority, and the Port of Corpus Christi Authority.
Mr. Gericke gave a number of examples of"proofs of concept" as follows: mobile inspection
program; healthcare system information/first responder access; public safety tactical access to
streaming video and mug shots; affordable automatic personal location; and public school
student/teacher/parent access system.
Mr. Gericke discussed the challenges facIng the Wi-Fi and Digital City imtiatives. He said
the Wi-Fi and Digital City initiative will have a major impact on operation and management of the
MIS department. To meet the challenge, the city must take the following measures: ensure
Information Technology investment; ensure the city has the ability and knowledge to effectively
manage technology; plan for the major technology transformation; solidify definition of to-be
environment; ensure MIS department is positioned to support the to-be environment; and ensure
processes are stable before moving into more complex environment. In addition, Mr. Gericke said
the city was working with Northrop Grumman on a proposal to develop a Strategic Technology
roadmap; and to perform a network-focused business impact analysis.
Mr. Gericke discussed the strategic roadmap the city was using in the Wi-Fi process which
was comprised of the following elements: process mapping; technology assessment; and a strategic
technology roadmap.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
June 28, 2005 - Page 24
Mr. Gericke discussed the network-focused Business Impact Analysis (BIA). He said the
analysis was comprised of the following elements: manpower utilization study; fiber planning/design
integration; network design evaluation and recommendation; assess needs and requirements for a
network operations center; perform a business continuity review; and network documentation
migration.
Mr. Gericke covered the next steps in the process during the months of July and August.
First, staffwould present the Preliminary Business Plan and request approval to incorporate directed
changes and proceed with implementation. Second, he said staffwould request approval to execute
contracts for the follow/ng operations: design, installation, testing and integration of the citywide
wireless network; development of a Strategic Information Technology roadmap; performing a
network-focused Business Impact Analysis; acquisition of hardware and management services
necessary for secure sign-on; and access to utility poles and power supply to Wi-Fi devices.
Mr. Garcia asked if the cost projections presented today were the worst-case scenaho. Mr.
Gericke answered affirmatively. City Manager Noe added that as part of the Digital City Initiative,
Intel would present a scientific document that would demon,txate the efficiencies to be gained from
the Wi-Fi.
In response to Mr. Scott's question, Mr. Noe replied that Wi-Fi services would be free to the
public until July 31. He said staff had used the pilot program period as a way to obtain data for
analysis. He said there were no mediate plans to charge for the service, but cautioned that the
service would not be a permanent connection. In addition, he said Intel's "proof of concept" research
would be a vehicle for obtaining free software and hardware to further the concept.
In response to Mr~ Kinnison's question, Mr. Noe stated the capital budget included funding
for aspects of the AMR/Wi-Fi implementation, and this budget had already been approved by
Council. He said the operating budget assumed some maintenance of the Wi-Fi in place today, and
modest cost for potential expansion. He emphasized, however, that the bulk of the costs would be
spent in construction.
The final presentation was Item 30, an overview of the proposed FY 2005-06 Budgets for
Internal Service, Special Revenue, and Debt Service funds. Regarding the internal service funds,
(comprised of the stores, maintenance services, MiS, engineering services, and combined risk
management funds), Assistant City Manager Oscar Martinez stated the FY 2006 estimated revenues
total was $74,323,743, up from $69,398,030 in FY 2005. FY 2006 expenditures were estimated at
$73,492,373, up from $63,421,786 in FY 2005. Mr. Martinez attributed the increase primarily to
increases in risk management costs.
Regarding the stores fund, Mr. Martinez said FY 2006 revenues were estimated at
$3,647,289, down from $3,671,226 in FY 2005. He noted it was a strategic decision to reduce fund
balances in the internal services funds. FY 2006 expenditures were estimated at $3,841,754, up from
$3,530,896 in FY 2005. He said warehouse services comprised approximately 80 percent of the
stores fund activity, and increased use of warehouse services reduced overall costs for departments
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
June 28, 2005 - Page 25
due to volume buying.
Regarding the maintenance services fund, Mr. Martinez said FY 2006 revenues were
estimated at $17,206,00, up from $16,246,427 in FY 2005. FY 2006 expenditures were estimated
at $18,599,950, up from $16,827,096 in FY 2005. He noted the projected increase in the cost of fuel
exceeded the FY 2005 budget by $1.3 million.
Regarding the MIS fund, Mr. Martinez said FY 2006 revenues were estimated at
$13,054,313, up from $12,090,067 in FY 2005. FY 2006 expenditures were estimated at
$13,345,147, up from $12,009,070 in FY 2005. He noted the FY 2005 MIS fund reflected an
increase of 18 FTEs, primarily due to the absorption of 15 FTEs from the Call Center. Two FTEs
xvere transferred from public safety departments and 1 additional technical specialist was transferred
as well. He clarified that the MIS fund was comprised of two departments, MIS and E-Government
services. In 2001, he said the city initiated re-engineering and consolidation of technology services
to accomplish greater efficiencies and effectiveness. Although staff and funding were moved into
the MIS fund, he said the associated costs were allocated back to the relevant departments. The
Customer Call Center, for example, was moved to E-Government Services; additionally, technical
staff firom public safety, public works, and municipal court and health were moved into the MIS
depamnent. He noted that budget variances between FY 2005 and FY 2006 in this fund were
$598,362, with $168,910 of that amount budgeted to MIS and $429,452 budgeted to E-Government
Services. Mr. Martinez discussed the MIS Fund FY 2005 service expansion in E-Government
Services and the Call Center.
Regarding the engineering services fund, Mr. Martinez said FY 2006 revenues were
estimated at $4,095,043, up from $3,893,253 in FY 2005. FY 2006 expenditures were estimated at
$3,957,941, up from $3,788,563 in FY 2005. He noted there was no change in staffing levels in FY
2006, and budgeted expenditures in FY 2006 were $18,000 less than budgeted amounts in FY 2005.
He covered the major strategies and priorities for expenditures in this fund.
Regarding the combined risk management fund, Mr. Martinez stated FY 2006 revenues were
estimated at $36,321,095, up from $33,497,057 in FY 2005. FY 2006 expenditures were estimated
at $33,747,581, up from $27,266,161. He stated the major strategies and priorities in this fund were
to develop and implement a city-wide risk management strategy; and to oversee the use, delivery,
and cost of city employee insurance plans. He discussed key issues affecting this fund, including
increases in health benefit insurance rates, and the status of the workers' compensation fund.
Mr. Martinez covered the special revenue funds, comprised of the arena, Reinvestment Zone
No_ 2, seawall, business and job development, development services, visitors' facility, crime control,
and hotel occupancy tax funds. Total revenues for the special revenue funds was estimated at
$36,552,999 in FY 2006, up fi-om $35,557,073 in FY 2005. FY 2006 expenditures are estimated at
$33,303,906, down from $35,503,324 in FY 2005.

Finally, Mr. Martinez covered the debt service funds. He pointed out that in FY 2005, debt
service expenditures went down from $94 million to $69 million, which he attributed to refunding
efforts. In addition, he said the city's debt load in all but one of its funds was either remaining
constant or decreasing. The exception was the North Padre Island TiF fund, which required the
deferment of payment on pnncipal to have time to build up a $3 million in reserve.
Mr. Garcia noted that during the Council Audit Committee meetings, the issue about the lack
of payment for in-house engineering services was raised. He asked if staff would be billing for
engineering services now. Mr. Martinez answered affirmatively.
Mr. Noyola asked questions about the new 4-tier system for prescriptions the city would be
implementing in the FY 2006 health benefits plan.
Mr. Kirmison asked staffto break out the costs in Hotel Occupancy Tax that were used for
general purposes and for the convention center expansion. Mr. Scott expressed an interest in funding
improvements to the downtown area for enhanced sidewalks and landscaping to make going from
the arena to the baseball stadium, for example, a more pleasurable experience.
Mr. Scott and Mr. Garcia asked for more information on expenditures in the business and job
development fund.
Mr. Scott asked about beach cleaning costs. Mr. Martinez stated these costs were incurred
in the general fund. He said staff had overestimated revenues to be gained from the beach permit
sales, and thus had to lxansfer revenues from the hotel/motel tax to cover them. Mr. Scott stated he
thought the city did a good job cleaning the beaches, but had issues with enforcement of littering
laws. City Manager Noe added the city had approached the county about assisting them with the
beach cleaning effort.
Mr. Noyola asked if the city was increasing eaforcement efforts on beach permits. Director
of Parks and Recreation Sally Gavlik stated staff would be working with the code enforcement
division to issue more tickets and to sell permits to those in need.

received about a performer at the Concrete Street Amphitheater who had made crude and derogatory
com~nents about the city. Mr. Noe said he had received a call about the incident and was following
up on it.
Mayor Garrett called for Council concerns and reports. Mr. Noyola asked when the Tri-Dam

annual cost of $113,200.

Fire Chief
Director of Aviation
Attachments: Dr. Koch contract
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The current three year contract with Dr. M. Dee Koch will expire July 31,2005. The
services of Dr. Koch have been utilized for the past twenty-seven (27) years for
counseling of Police employees, civilians, recruits, officers, and family members. The
services also include the testing, evaluation, and psychological certification of Police
applicants, Fire Department applicants, Airport Security Police applicants, Police
Dispatchers, City Warrant Officers, and Police Reserve Officers. State law mandates
that each of these positions be psychologically certified prior to hiring.
Dr. Koch also provides guidance to Police, Fire, and Aviation management in the areas
of personnel problems, officers facing psychological trauma as the result of violent
events, and families which may need assistance due to the stress of the profession.
The contract is for an estimated 240 hours per month and this includes the services of
Dr. Koch, an additional counselor on staff, and his office staff (full time secretary and
part-time bookkeeper).
The new contract represents an increase of $5.00 per hour, the third rate increase in
the houdy rate since the contract originated in 1978. Previous $5.00 per hour
increases occurred in July, 1999 and July, 2002.
The relationship of trust and excellent rapport that Dr. Koch has established with
officers and civilians could not be readily gained if a new psychologist was utilized.
Therefore, it is recommended to continue utilizing the services of Dr. Koch.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
City Council Action Date: 7112105
AGENDA ITEM: Resolution authorizing the City Manager or designee, to accept a grant
from Wal-Mart in the amount of $1,000 to promote recycling.
Ordinance appropriating an estimated $25,000 from corporate entities in the No. 1051 Solid
Waste Grants fund to promote recycling; and declaring an emergency.
ISSUE: Appropriation of anticipated recycling grant funds.
BACKGROUND: The City of Corpus Christi, Streets and Solid Waste Services
Depadment, has learned through the efforts of Jaime Lopez, Recycling Division Heavy
Equipment Operator, that local businesses are interested in donating money to promote
recycling.
Individual WaI-Mad stores may contribute as much as $1,000 each, and other businesses
may also join us in this community wide effort. Potential outreach efforts may include
bumper stickers, signs, newspaper advertisements, and possibly radio and television
adver/isements to promote community participation in the City of Corpus Chdsti's recycling
effod. Additional plans could include affixing signs to the City's fleet of refuse collection
and recycling trucks. To stretch the value of every dollar contributed, efforts will be
coordinated with existing City programs and local agencies. By working together, and
combining resources within the community, this program hopes to achieve measurable
success in improving the City's environmental awareness. Solid Waste and Public
Information staff are researching outreach options based on funding availability;
To avoid the necessity of having to seek City Council approval to accept and appropriate
the funds from these small grants, it is requested that an amount not to exceed an
estimated $25,000 be appropriated in the Solid Waste Grants Fund No. 1051. The grant
funds received from local businesses will be utilized to promote recycling and litter
abatement. Iris anticipated that these grants will be received through July 31,2006.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Approval of the resolution and appropriation ordinances
as submitted.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: None
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the resolution and appropriation
ordinance as submitted.

contract with R.M. Wright Construction Company of El Paso, Texas in the amount of

PROJECT BACKGROUND: The Everhart/Staples Lift Station was constructed in early
1966. The service area for this lift station covers Everhart Road to Weber Road and
Alameda to Gollihar Road. Due to the constant exposure of sewer gasses, replacement of
the existing piping on the pump header needs to be replaced immediately. Failure to do so
could result in loss of integrity to the system, discharge of wastewater into the dry well
where the system controls are located and disruption of service.
CHANGE ORDER DESCRIPTION: The work consists of replacement of piping on the
pump discharge header piping which is currently thirty feet high. The piping to be replaced
is the piping which supports the pump header from pipe hangers and the ceiling above.
This work must be accomplished in several stages to insure proper support of the pump
header and proper bypass of pumping operations. This Change Order will provide
temporary bypass pumping for 1.3 million gallons per day (MGD) and backup bypass
pumping for 1.3 MGD while work is on-going. This work will take between two and four
weeks to complete, after delivery of the materials to be replaced. This contractor was
chosen to complete this project due to the fact that he has successfully completed work of
this type for the City before and has the equipment and personnel to complete the job in an
expedient time frame.
CONTRACT TERMS: This Change Order will add an additional 35 calendar days to this
contract.

BACKGROUNDINFORMATION
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The Air Traffic Control Tower has been scheduled for demolition since the construction
and opening of the new FAA Air Traffic Control Tower. Construction was delayed while
the attached office building which occupied CCIA administrative offices was
subsequently leased to the Transportation Security Administration pending completion
of their new lease space in the Terminal Building. Asbestos abatement was then
undertaken prior to proceeding with demolition. During abatement, additional asbestos
containing material was identified between the concrete block walls (CMU) and exterior
brick veneer. It was determined the most economical method of addressing this
additional material was to demolish the exterior walls of the Tower under National
Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutant regulations.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The project was bid as a base bid to demolish the existing five (5) story concrete block
(CMU) wall air traffic control tower. Demolition includes the foundation, electrical,
plumbing, HVAC, and interior walls. The project includes disposal of damp proofing
coating containing asbestos. The asbestos is contained in an asphaltic material that
cannot be readily removed from the concrete block. The demolition and disposal will be
done in strict compliance with applicable federal and state regulations. The site will be
backfilled, graded and sodded. The project includes new construction to enclose the
single story office building attached to the tower.
ADMINISTRATIVE ACTIONS:
March 21, 2003 - Award of an engineering services contract in the amount of $24,000
to MEI Govind for the demolition the Corpus Christi International Airport Air
Traffic Control Tower.
May 11, 2005 - Award of an asbestos consulting and abatement monitoring contract in
the amount of $24,000 to All Points Environmental of Corpus Christi for
demolition the Corpus Christi International Airport Air Traffic Control Tower.
BID INFORMATION:
Five bids were received and publicly opened on June 22, 2005. The bid was structured
as a base bid. The bids ranged between $275,000 and $695,908. See Exhibit B. The
qualified Iow bid was submitted by Robles and Sons, Inc. of Cibolo, Texas. The bid
submitted by Fox Tree and Landscape in the amount of $695,908 was deemed irregular
and non-responsive. The Fox Tree and Landscape bid did not acknowledge Addenda
No 1 and had a non-responsive bid bond as the attached power of attorney was dated
effective after the bid opening. This did not affect the order of bids.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
City Council Action Date: 07-12-05
AGENDAITEM:
MOTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI AND MEYERS AND ASSOCIATES FOR GOVERNMENTAL
RELATIONS SERVICES
ISSUE AND BACKGROUND: The City of Corpus Christi has utilized the Washington-based
governmental relations services of Meyers and Associates for many years with outstanding results for
the City. The Meyers firm is headed by Mr. Larry Meyers and Mr. Rick Meyers, together with a
number of associates. It is viewed as one of the most successful governmental relations firms in
Washington. As a direct result of their past successes, the Meyers firm has an impressive list of
clients. Of special note for the City of Corpus Christi is the fact that Meyers and Associates is the
Washington governmental relations firm for the Texas A&M System and has been especially
productive in assisting Texas A&M---Corpus Chdsti.
A major city the size o[ Corpus Christi (and most cities of 50,000 or more) finds it extremely beneficial
to have governmental relations firms represent them in Washington, DC. Staff does not believe that
we could find any firm that could represent the City of Corpus Chdsti on any higher level than Meyers
and Associates. For many years, Meyers and Associates has consistently provided the City with very
e[fective representation in Washington on a multitude of issues.
The proposed two-year contract for the period August 1, 2005 - July 31, 2007, is virtually identical to
the last contract with the firm. We believe it is important to point out that Meyers and Associations
monthly fee of $6,810 plus reasonable associated out-of-pocket expenses has remained constant for
the last six years and we feel that it is an extremely reasonable fee.
FUNDING: The funding for the contract, which is subjecl to appropriation each year and may be
terminated by the City Manager at any time, is proposed to be expensed at 33 1/3% from the General
Fund and 66 2/3% from the Water Fund.
REQUIRED CITY COUNCIL ACTION: A contract o[ this type and amount requires City Council
approval
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: City Staff strongly believes that it is imperative that the
City maintains government relations ser¥ices in Washington, DC. We are please to report that we do
not believe that the City could be represented better by any other firm than by Meyers and Associates,
which has an exceptional proven track record in the many years that they have represented the City.
W. Thomas Utter
Special Assistant to the City Manager

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
PUBI, IC HEARING - ZONING (City Council Action Date: 7/12/05)
Case No. 0605-02- HEP Developers, Inc.: A change of zoning from a "R-lB" One-farmly Dwelling
District to a "RE" Residential Estate District. The property is 19.98 acres out of Flour Bluffand
Encinal Farm and Garden Tracts, Lot 18, Section 48, located along Graham Road and 670 feet east of
Flour Bluff Dr~ve
Plannint, Comndssion and StafFs Recommendation (6/1/05): Denial of the "RE" Residential Estate
District and in lieu thereof, approval of a "R-1B"/SP One-family Dwelling District with a Special
Permit, subject to seven (7) conditions.
Requested Council Action: Approval ora "R-1B"/SP One-family Dwelling District with a Special
Permit, subject to seven (7) conditions and an adoption of the attached ordinance.
Purl}ose of Request: Development of a 19-lot single-family subdivision on one (1) acre lots.
Summary:
The applicant is requesting a change of zoning to "RE" Residential Estates in order to
develop a 19-lot single-family subdivision on 19.96 acres, with a minimum lot area of
one ( 1 ) acre.
Ihe "RE" District provides for large lot development without curbs, gutters (inle0 and
siden*alkx. Septic tanks systems are allowed on lots half-acre or more provided the lots
are served by a public water supply system and sanitary sewer services are not
reasonably available and are of sufficient capacity. The nearest sewer gravity system is
1,000 feet north and 3,000 feet east of the subject property A sewer force main is
located 1,350 feet south of the subject property and there is no nearby sewer service to
the west. The City has determined that city ser"aces are reasonably available. Septic
tank systems will not be allowed for the subject property.
The issue of adequate drainage is a leading infrastructure concern of the City. Large lot
residential development in the "RE" District eliminates the curb and gutter drainage
system that is preferred over drainage ditch systems. In retaining the "R-lB" District,
large lot development of lots one (1) acre or more could still occur without the
elimination of the curb and gutter drainage system.
· Historically the Flour Bluff area, specifically along Flour Bluff Drive and Graham Road, has
experience poor drainage. Factors contributing to insufficient drainage are:
1. High water table
2. Cross-road culvert elevations that are higher than surrounding land
3. Driveway culverts set at different elevations: soffit of pipes higher than flow line
elevation
4. Some undersize cross-over pipes
5. Long and winding distances to ouffall
6. Ditch grading/re-grading
7. Tidal action (very minor contributor)
8. Surface flowmnoff

9. Ditch/swale construction
10. Large lot residential development without curb and gutter (inlet) drainage system
Several consultants have been hired in the past to study drainage concerns of Flour Bluff. As
a result of these studies, several C1P projects have been proposed as a result of the consultants
findings:
Graham Road Drainage lmprovements-O'Neil Channel- $2.5M- Unfunded
Flour Bluff Drive/Glenoak Drainage Improvements Phase I and 2
· Phase 1: Small construction project estimated at $24.8K and to perform minor
drainage improvement at $55M -CIP

Page 2
The applicant is requesting a change of zoning to "RE" Residential Estates in
order to develop a 19-lot single-family subdivision on 19.96 acres, with a
minimum lot area of one (I) acre.
The "RE" District provides for large lot development without curbs, gutters
(inle0 and.videualk2'. Septic tanks systems are allowed on lots half-acre or
more provided the lots are sep,,ed by a public water supply system and sanitary
sewer sen'ices are not reasonably available and are of sufficient capacity. The
nearest sewer gravity system is 1,000 feet north and 3,000 feet east of the
subject property. A sewer force main is located 1,350 feet south of the subject
property and there is no nearby sewer service to the west. The City has
determined that city services are reasonably available. Septic tank systems
will not bc allowed for the subject property.
The issue of adequate drainage is a leading infrastructure concern of the City.
Large lot residential development in the "RE" District eliminates the curb and
gutter drainage system that is preferred over drainage ditch systems. In retaining
the "R-lB" District, large lot development of lots one (1) acre or more could
still occur without the elimination of the curb and gutter drainage system.
Historically the Flour Bluff area, specifically along Flour Bluff Drive and Graham
Road, has experience poor drainage. Factors contributing to insufficient drainage
are:
1. High water table
2. Cross-road culvert elevations that are higher than surrounding land
3. Driveway culverts set at different elevations: soffit of pipes higher than flow line
elevation
4. Some undersize cross-over pipes
5. Long and winding distances to outfall
6. Ditch grading/re-grading
7. Tidal action (very minor contributor)
8. Surface flowranoff
Ditch/swale construction
10. Large lot residential development without curb and gutter (inlet) drainage system
Several consultants have been hired in the past to study drainage concerns of Flour
Bluff~ As a result of these studies, several C1P projects have been proposed as a
result of the consultants findings:
Graham Road Drainage Improvements-O'Neil Channel- $2.5M- Unfunded

Residential Estate Division.
Being 19.98 acres out of Flour Bluff and Encinal Farm and Garden Tracts, Lot 18, Section 48, located
along Graham road and 670 feet east of Flour BluffDrive.
Request: Change of zoning from"R-lB" One-family dwelling District to "RE" Residential Estate
District
Excerpts from Zoning Report
Legal Description/Location: Being 19. 98 acres out of Flour Bluff and Encinal farrn and garden
Tracts, Section 48, Lots 18, located along Graham Road and 670feet east of Flour Bluff Drive
Purpose of Request' Development ora 19-lot single-family subdivision on one (1) acre lots.
Area Development Plan: Flour Bluff- The fiaure land use map recommends the subject property
develop as low-density residential rather than estate residential. The "RE" District is not
supported by' the Plan.
Department Comments: The problem if insufficient drainage will continue to compound as land
is de~eloped with the "RE" District that eliminates curbs, gutters (inlets) and sidewalks. In June
2003, 25-acres along Flour Bluff Drive, Don Patricio and Meeks Road wax rezoned to a "RE"
District. Along Flour Bluff Drive, Cornerstone Drive and Meeks Road, 22-acres were rezoned to
a "RE" District in April 2004. November 2004, 18 acres were rezoned along GlenoakDr~ve and
St. Peters Street to a "RE" District. Additiom~lly, sufficient funding through the City's CIP
Program is needed to correct drainage issues in the Flour Bluff area.
Staff Recommendation' Denial of the "RE" Residenttal Estate District.
Ms. Holly stated that there has been difficulty with maintaining any positive drainage or overland
drainage because the sandy soils drift up and there is no longer drainage. There is an estimate of $60
million needed for improvement in this area. The curbs and gutters are needed under current conditions.
Thc "RE" zoning Districts was equivalent to saying that it was allowed to do septic and that would not be
the case.
Mrs Goode-Macon provided graphics of the subject property and the surrounding area. The
zoning report and tape are on file.
Mrs. Goode-Macon stated that the applicant is requesting a change of zoning from an "R-lB"
District to an "RE" District. The subject property is located between Graham Road and ~he Cornerstone
Subdivision of Flour BluffDrive. Currently the zoning is "R-lB" District with "B-I" Disthct to the west
and an "R-lB" District tract to the east. Towards the north and south there is existing "P~" District
development that was recommended by the staff; recommended by Planning Commission and approved
City Council between the years of 2003 and 2004.
Planning Commission Minutes
06054)2 (HEP Developers, Inc )
Page 2
As ~ndicated, the Future Land Use Map is consistent with existing zoning of"R-lB" District. The
applicant has approximately 19.96 acres which is proposed as a large lot development with approximately
eighteen lots. Staffis recommending denial of"RE" District. There were zero notices received in
opposition or in favor.
Public hearing was opened.
Chip Urban, 2725 Swantner, Urban Engineering, stated that he is representing the developer in
this particular case. The City Engineer has stated that sanitary sewer is reasonably accessible. The
de',eloper feels that it is not reasonably accessible. The off site developlnent cost for receiving sanitary
sewer system would be $600,000 to $1.3 million. In order to get to the lift station, there would be a very
deep 27 inch sewer line and a 30 inch sewer line that would extend over a mile. This option would cost
$1.3 rmllion because it is not currently in place. The other option would be to do a master plan
amendment and go to more of an area that was suggested in the zoning report. The closest sanitary sewer
would be from 1,000 to 3,000 feet away. It would be 1,000 feet north and 3,000 feet east totaling 4,000
feet away. The closest manhole with adequate depth was 4200 feet away. Tins option could cost up to
$600,000. It does not make the property viable. The additional costs would not be reasonable and
accessible. For tkis reason, I believe that there should be allowed septic systems on site. Drainage has
been an issue with some developments recently. The property adjacent called Cornerstone had drainage
issues. Some culverls were placed improperly. As constructed commenced, tracks would drive thru the
ditches. The ditches would be disturbed and not braided properly. The City is proposing to keep the
'~R-IB" District which would require a curb, gutter and sidewalks. In order to put in curb and gutters with
the assumption that there will be underground storm sewer. Underground storm sewers are considerably
deeper than surface ditches. If underground storm sewers are the route that needs to be taken, with the
existing drainage infi'astructure, the applicant carmot get onto Flour BluffDrive. The culverts and ditches
on Flour BluffDfive are not low enough. The applicant is proposing to remedy some of the problems by
placing drive-ways when the development is built and install culvert pipes. The construction would not
need to go through ditches and the culverts would be large enough. The property cannot be developed as
an "R-lB".
In response to Commissioner Mims question, Mr. Urban stated that there would be significant
offsite costs that would not be reimbursable from the City. Mr. Urban also stated that in the previous
zoning case, there were two people that stated that they really enjoyed having road side ditches and not
having sidewalks, curb and gutter. People want to go and be in that environment.
In response to Commissioner Braselton's question, Mr. Urban indicated that there is a third
option that would allow the applicant to put in a sanitary lift station and a force main to get to some places
closer. However, the last t~me a lift station was done, it came in over $300,000. That cost does not
include the force main or the right-of-way acquisition and the applicant would have to cut through several
ex~sting lots to get there. It would not be an easy task. The applicant would also be willing to place a
retention/detention pond to help any increased run off from the development. That would be placed on
the adjacent business piece of property
Ms. Holly stated that under the drainage scenario, there have been flooding problems on Graham
Road. Once the land is developed and drainage ditches put in, the sand does not hold the ditch depth that
needs to be held in. The ordinance states that you are allowed to do overland drainage if the ditch level is
no more than one foot below the street.
Planning Commission Minutes
o605 (12 (HEP Developers, Inc )
Mr. Urban stated that if the homeowner's association takes responsibility for sizing, locating and
placing culverts in the driveways and maintaining the ditches, it would relieve some of the concerns that
we are able to control. The other concerns of flooding and being able to get across Flour Bluff Drive, the
applicant cannot do anything about it.
In response to Commissioner Salazar's question, Mr. Urban stated that the applicant would be
willing to place a retention/detention pond, but it is not something that was originally proposed on the
.,oning application.
Ms. Holly stated that if the zoning case was approved with a Special Pcmfit or a Planned
Development-2, it could be done. The applicant would only be allowed to do an "RE" District type
development under a PUD-2. That is something that can be brought to the city engineer when processing
the plat.
Bill Meredith, 5734 Ocean Drive, attorney representing ATP Developers, stated that the
developers invested in this tract of land with the feeling that it could be used as an "RE" District. The
mimmum square footage would be 2,000 square feet for each residential unit, and it would be a first class
development. The approximate price range would be from $250,000 to $300,000 to start. It would be a
great advantage to that part of town.
Ms. Holly stated that she would need figures from Mr. Urban to present to the City
Engineer. As a general policy it is preferred not to have septic systems due to environmental damages.
The "RE" District could be denied and approved as an "R-lB" District with a Special Permit for a large
lot, single family development. A retention or detention facility conslructed to manage a twenty-five year
storm could be part of the Special Permit. Tkis should resolve the concerns fi-om Staff and also meet the
applicant' s conditions.
Motion was made by Commissioner Braselton, seconded by Commissioner Pusley to approve
"R-lB" District with a Special Permit with the condition that a detention/retention pond is provided.

According to the FBI:
· The primary objective is to generate a reliable
set of crime statistics for use in law enforcement
administration, operation, and management.
· The public relies on these data for information
on the fluctuations in the level of crime from
year to year.
· The FBI cautions and strongly discourages data
users from ranking cities and using the data as a
measurement of law enforcement effectiveness.

Pitfalls of Ranking
(Source: FBI)
· Creates Misleading Perceptions
· Rankings ignore the uniqueness of each
locale. This includes:
· Population density and degree of urbanization
· Composition of population and cultural conditions
· Policies of other C3 components (i.e.,
prosecutorial, judicial, correctional).
· Rankings do not reflect crime reporting

PUC to finalize stranded costs and to apply the final stranded cost determination
to the nonbypassable rates of the company. If approved, the average residential
customer's bill will increase $9 per month for 15 years. It is important for cities to
participate in this proceeding to ensure that customers are not overcharged.
The Steering Committee of Cities has recommended intervention in this matter. A
Resolution is attached for that purpose. The cities will be represented by the
affomeys of the Lloyd Gosselink Blevins Rochelle & Townsend law firm, who are
recommended for their experience in electdc utility matters.

Concrete Street Amphitheater, Port of Corpus Christi and Whataburger Field
have developed a comprehensive traffic control plan to minimize traffic
congestion and traffic hazards for the traveling public attending the multitude of
organized events within the area North of I H 37. As part of the overall traffic
control planning process no parking restrictions will be established on East Port
Avenue, Hirsch Street, Sam Rankin Street, Brewster Street, North Tancahua,
North Mesquite Street and North Chaparral Street (Exhibit 1).

the street right of ways in question informing them of the Traffic Advisory
Committee meeting and the Public Hearing that was held on May 23, 2005 with
reference to the proposed parking restrictions. Ms. Beverly Randolph, of 1319

Ms Randolph would loose one parking space in front of her home as a result of
the proposed parking restrictions. She has off street parking for three vehicles in
her parking garage and driveway.
Mr Joe McComb has a warehouse on the corner of Tancahua and Power Street
that he says will be adversely affected by the parking restrictions. Although he
did not attend the public hearing, Staff did meet with him to discuss his
concerns. Mr. McComb would loose parking along the Tancahua side of his
warehouse. His building has access on Power Street where he has a driveway
and large sliding doors to access the building. Staff does not recommend his
building have driveway access along Tancahua because the building is to close
to the property line on that side.
Traffic Advisory Committee Recommendation. The Traffic Advisory Committee
voted unanimously in favor of the proposed parking restrictions.
Impact of Parkinq Restriction on Abuttinq Properties: The proposed parking
restrictions have not caused any appreciable negative impact on abutting
properties. Temporary no parking restrictions have been in effect since April 23,
2005 and we have not received any known complaints. The temporary parking
restrictions have had a substantial positive impact on traffic flow in and out of
the area. We have done drive by surveys of the streets under consideration at
different times of day for the last two weeks and have not observed any
problems that can not be accommodated with side street parking and existing
off-street parking.
Justification for Full Time Parking Restrictions: Because minimal roadside
parking has been observed on East Port Avenue, Hirsch Street, Sam Rankin
Street, Brewster Street, North Tancahua and Nodh Chaparral Street, Staff
acknowledges that the majority of roadside parking that would occur on these
streets would be from traffic generated by events at the Whataburger Field,
Heritage Park, American Bank Center or the Concrete Street Amphitheater. A
full time (signed) parking restriction would eliminate the need for a more costly
installation of parking restriction signs if the restrictions were implemented only
for during events. The parking restriction would be supplemented with a "tow-a-
way" zone.
Justification for Limited Parkinq Restrictions:, Because of existing businesses,
apartments and homes Staff is proposing to limit no parking restrictions along
North Mesquite Street from 5:30 P.M. to 2:00 A.M. This will be sufficient to
accommodate expected traffic generated by the venues along these corridors.
Most of the events will take place after the hours of 5:30 P.M. and before 2:00
a.m.
Action: Staff respectfully request approval of the No Parking restrictions as
presented.
