retain the City Library's mineral interests in the Anita Neyland Trust. In response to Mr. Garcia's
question, Director of Libraries Herb Canales stated that staffs recommendation was to retain the
City's mineral rights. Mr. Canales further explained that there were three other beneficiaries to Mrs.

April 25 2006 - Page 6
Neyland's Trust, and they had decided to retain their rights.
Mr Garcia asked how much money the City Library had received to date from the Trust. Mr.
Canales replied that the City Library had received over $365,000 in proceeds from the Trust thus
far; they expected to receive between $500,000 and $600,000 once all the assets were sold. Mr.
Garcia asked how the funds were being used. Mr. Canales replied that in 2005, the Council
approved a plan to use the entire $600,000 in proceeds for capital improvements at Parkdale
Library. In addition, he said the Friends of the Library had raised $52,000 toward the project. The
Council also approved staff's recommendation to rename the Parkdale Library in honor of Mr.
Neyland, once the improvements were completed.
Mr Garcia asked Mr. Noe to look into improving the Carmel Parkway and Staples Street
Intersection near the library. Mr. Canales mentioned that Parkdale Plaza had been sold to a new
owner, but their redevelopment plans, which included this intersection, were unknown at this time.
Mr Kinnison asked City Manager Noe if he had decided to retain the mineral interests, or
If he planned to solicit offers for sale. City Manager Noe replied that staff recommended retaining
the mineral interests, but the resolution was crafted to allow the City to sell the mineral interests in
the future if it was more profitable City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as
follows:
5 RESOLUTION NO. 026752
Resolution amending Resolution 026056 by adding Section 2 that also authorizes City
Manager or designee, to determine whether to retain or sell City of Corpus Christi Library's
25% beneficial interest in the mineral interests owned by the Anita Neyland Trust,
established under the W T Neyland Last Will and Testament.
The foregoing resolution was passed and approved with the following vote: Garrett,
Chesney, Garcia, Kelly, Kinnison. Marez, and Noyola, voting "Aye"; Cooper and Scott were
absent.
Mayor Garrett opened discussion on Item 6 regarding Packery Channel. Mr. Kinnison asked
If staff knew what the city's chances were to receive this grant. Special Assistant to the City
Manager Tom Utter stated that it was soon to tell. He said the city was submitting two grant
applications for this project and for the Lawrence Street L-Head parking lot project. He said the city
would find out if they had been awarded the grants in late June or July. Mr. Kinnison asked what
would happen if the city did not receive the grants. Mr. Utter replied that if the city was not awarded
the grants, then staff would scale back the projects so they could be completed with the $300,000
budget. City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:
6, RESOLUTION NO. 026753
Resolution authorizing an application to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department for
assistance in funding a public parking lot and access road on Packery Channel; declaring
the City eligible for such assistance; authorizing the City to be local sponsor of the project;
and directing and authorizing the City Manager to file the application and to execute all
documents pertaining thereto.
The foregoing resolution was passed and approved with the following vote: Garrett,

Mayor Garrett referred to Item 12, a presentation on the City-Wide Wireless Fidelity
Broadband Mesh Network Business Plan. Director of Municipal Information Services (MIS) Ogilvie
Gericke stated that the Corpus Christi Digital Community Development Corporation held their first
Board meeting on April 17, and elected Mr. Bud Harris with Del Mar College as chairman. He
introduced Mr. Roland Mower with the Economic Development Corporation and Mr. Jimmy Bray,
legal consultant.
On behalf of the C.C. Digital Community Development Corporation Board, Mr. Harris
thanked the Council for appointing them to assist them with the Wi-Fi Initiative. At their first Board
meeting on April 17, he said the Board discussed future endeavors and reviewed the business plan.
He said the business plan was a technical, comprehensive document, and the Board viewed it as
a starting point for the process as they learned more about it. He said the Board welcomed the
Council's input and comments on the Wi-Fi initiative business plan during staffs presentation today.
He said the Board was committed to making the initiative a success, and they wished to carry out
the Council's will on the project. Finally, he thanked staff for their efforts on developing the business
plan. Mr. Kinnison asked Mr. Harris if the Board had access to a third party review of the business
plan. Mr. Harris responded negatively.
Mr Gericke stated that since Mr. Brian Anderson with Next Step Consulting could not be
here today, he would be discussing the business plan in Mr. Anderson's place. Mr. Gericke stated
that the goals of the business plan were as follows: improve city services; improve other
governmental services (school districts, RTA, Port, county, and State); provide access to individuals
and businesses; and grow jobs.
Mr. Gericke stated that the principles of the business plan were as follows: to maximize the
economic value; to provide a level playing field; to bridge the digital divide; to provide framework that
maximizes creativity in developing the portal; and to find partners that would bring assets.
Mr, Gericke discussed the market trends for the Wi-Fi initiative as follows: broadband was
emerging as a critical infrastructure; applications drive the bandwidth requirements; fixed and mobile
broadband access was emerging as a user requirement; and metro Wi-Fi networks enable
competitive consumer value.
Mr. Gericke covered the components of the business model, designed to foster a
partnership with access to all; as follows: network (fiber and wireless); portal; Internet Service
Providers (ISP); and applications.
Mr. Gericke stated there were four phases to the city's implementation strategy: Phase 1
- establish core Wi-Fi network services; Phase 2 - establish a community network portal; Phase
3 - create Digital Community Development Programs; and Phase 4 - expand network services and
coverage.
Regarding the network, Mr. Gericke stated that the City needed to partner with an Internet
Service Provider (ISP); create a level playing business field for allISPs; ensure a maximum market
penetration; and higher community/consumer value.
Mr. Gericke discussed the community portal concept. He said initially, the portal would offer
free network access and then later could access value-added services such as eCommerce,
advertising services, syndicated news, and community newsletters. Finally, he said subscription and
value added services access could be provided through Earthlink, AOL, and MSN platinum.
Minutes - Regular CouncIl Meeting
April 25, 2006 - Page 8
Mr Gericke stated that staff had developed four different business scenarios with detailed
cost projections as follows Scenario 1 city operation only; Scenario 2: city and corporationl Wi-Fi
network alliance; Scenario 3: city, corporationlWi-Fi Network Alliance, and community portal; and
Scenario 4: city, corporationlWlSP Alliance, community portal, and government.
Mr Gericke stated that under Scenario 1, the city would solely fund the implementation
(debt) and maintenance and support, with a five percent annual increase over Years 1 through 5.
The city would implement cost reduction and service improvement Wi-Fi applications. The
community would have limited access alternatives in this scenario.
Under Scenario 1 Mr. Gericke said the city's current network services expenses were
approximately $2.5 million He said the city was investing $7 million in the Wi-Fi initiative, and if the
city chose not to partner with another entity, it would have to repay the costs over a 20-year period.
He pointed out, however, that the city expected to see cost savings from city programs using the Wi-
Fi technology, such as the automated meter reading (AMR) and automated vehicle location (AVL)
systems. He noted that the city's costs under Scenario 1 would increase from $2.6 million in Year
1 to $3.1 million in Year 5
Mr Gericke discussed Scenario 2, which assumed that the city had partnered with a major
Internet service provider (ISP) that would share their customer base. He said the city and the ISP
would share the costs of operating and maintaining the network as well as building it out. The
benefit under this scenario was that the city could make the Corpus Christi Digital Community
Development Corporation responsible for the $7 million debt, and work with the ISP to pay the costs.
He said the city had spoken with a nationallSP that was interested in partnering with the city in the
endeavor. The ISP felt they could pay the corporation an average of $8 per subscriber per month.
Under this scenario, Mr. Gericke said staff felt the city could keep their 0 & M costs constant at $2.5
million from Year 1 through Year 5 In addition, he said the city's total network operating expense
would decrease in Year 1 to $2.2 million, compared to $2.6 million in Scenario 1.
Mr Gericke covered Scenario 3, which included the same assumptions as in Scenario 2 but
also included community portal services He said small businesses could use the portal for E-
commerce opportunities to attract outside business. The city's costs under this scenario would
remain the same, as in Scenario 2, but the corporation would probably see higher profits that could
fund Digital Community Development programs. He provided cost projections from Year 1 to Year
5
Mr Gericke discussed Scenario 4, which included the same assumptions as in Scenarios
2 and 3. but assumed that the corporation would expand the network infrastructure to the greater
metro area locations. In addition, the corporation could provide low-cost (wholesale) Wi-Fi access
services to other government agencies. He provided cost projections from Year 1 to Year 5.
Mr Gericke discussed the corporation's expenses related to the Wi-Fi project as follows:
to maintain a small administration staff of four individuals; pay debt for Wi-Fi implementation and
start-up capital; to fund network upgrades to meet carrier grade service requirements; to fund
temporary professional services resources to support development and operations; to fund host
services (no infrastructure cost) for portal and E-commerce marketplace; and to fund marketing and
digital community programs based on board priorities and available funds. He then reviewed a
detailed chart of the corporation's revenues and operating expenses for five years.
Mr. Gericke discussed the schedule for the Wi-Fi implementation. He said Northrup
Gromman was in the process of installing the Wi-Fi network, with a scheduled completion date in
August 2006. Thus, the city needed to sign an agreement with an ISP in July or August so the
network could be fully used
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
April 25. 2006 - Page 9
Mr Marez expressed concern that the national media was not recognizing the city for its
ground breaking efforts on Wi-Fi. City Manager Noe replied that he had spoken with Business Unit
Manager Leonard Scott about allocating funds for marketing efforts. He said the only way to
substantially increase the publicity would be to retain a firm to educate the national press about the
city's Wi-Fi initiative. He said this type of expense was not built into the budget but could be added
if the Council desired. Mr Marez spoke in support of hiring a marketing firm to publicize the city's
efforts.
Mr. Kinnison stated that while he supported the city's Wi-Fi initiative, he and staff differed
significantly on the Wi-Fi business plan. He expressed concern that a third party evaluation was not
completed on the business plan. He also expressed concern that the city did not have an ISP
partner for the initiative yet; he said other cities with a Wi-Fi initiative had a partner from the onset.
He said he knew of two unfavorable reviews of the City's Wi-Fi initiative that were a cause of great
concern to him.
In response to Mr. Kinnison's question, City Manager Noe replied that the corporation had
to receive Council approval of their budget before they could start making expenditures. Mr.
Kinnison asked that if the corporation generated excess profits, could the funds be transferred to
the city's general fund. Mr. Jimmy Bray, legal counsel, answered affirmatively, saying that by
statute, any funds remaining after Wi-Fi operating expenses and reserves were met could be
transferred to the general fund.
Mr. Kinnison asked about the administrative staff line item of $355,000. City Manager Noe
stated that the staff included one person in charge with three key support staff members. Mr.
Gericke added that the primary staff member would develop new business, two would keep track
of business transactions, and one would provide administrative support. Mr. Kinnison pointed out
that in other cities, these types of positions were eliminated once the city entered into a partnership
with an ISP. Mr. Noe replied the city did not intend to duplicate any positions, so if there was no
need for four positions, they could be eliminated.
In response to Mr. Kinnison's question, City Manager Noe replied that the business plan
assumed that the city's share of the costs would remain constant at $2.5 million. Ultimately, he said
the city's goal was to reduce their share of the costs over time if the project was successful. He said
the plan treated the $2.5 million as a financial transaction between the city and the corporation in
which the city was buying their services.
Mr. Kinnison asked the Corpus Christi Digital Community Development Corporation Board
to carefully review the proposed business plan. He said he would provide the Board members with
more information. He said he wished to see the Wi-Fi initiative become a success, but he did not
understand why the city's approach differed so much from the course other cities had chosen. He
hoped the city would enlist business professionals to run this business, so the city could get back
to doing what it does best, namely providing municipal services.
In response to Mr. Garcia's question, Mr. Gericke replied the city would see a return on its
investment immediately if the Corporation could assume the debt for the project because the city
would not be responsible for that payment. Mr. Garcia spoke in favor of the Wi-Fi project. He
agreed with Mr. Marez's comments about more publicity efforts for the initiative, but he felt the more
successful the program was, the more publicity it would attract. Mr. Garcia asked for staff's thoughts
on how successful the project could be. Mr. Gericke replied that the city was in the unique position
of having a fairly large network and having the resources, through Del Mar College, to train small
businesses on its use. He felt the city had the community partnerships it needed to ensure that the
network would be used extensively.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
April 25, 2006 - Page 10
Mr. Noyola asked about the city's prospects for ISP partnerships. City Manager Noe replied
staff had discussed the Wi-Fi initiative with a number of major companies, including Google, IBM,
Earthlink, and Sysco. He said several companies were expected to become lead partners in the
endeavor, based on the advanced state of the negotiations. He predicted that once the corporation
was up and running, the city would have an agreement with the lead company.
Mr Noyola agreed with Mr. Kinnison's comment that he did not want to see taxpayer dollars
paying for this initiative. He would rather see the city turn over the management to their partner.
City Manager Noe replied that the business plan showed that the city's cost for these services
would remain constant at $2.5 million over the five-year period. Additionally, the plan was to have
the corporation assume the debt for the entire system, to be repaid out of the partnership revenues.
Thus, the city was relieved of its obligation to pay the $7 million in debt currently in the utility system.
Mr Noyola asked staff to comment on Mr. Kinnison's assertion that the city's approach to
Wi-Fi was vastly different from the approach taken by other communities. Mr. Gericke replied that
the city began considering Wi-Fi at a different point than most communities. Initially, the city's
Interest in Wi-Fi was limited solely to municipal services like automated meter reading (AMR)
operations Other cities thought about Wi-Fi as a way to provide Internet access at the start.
Mr. Noyola stated that he was depending on staffs recommendations regarding this project
since this wasn't his area of expertise. He said his main concern was that the city provided the
basic services that citizens depended on, like police, fire, and street maintenance. He said he
hoped the city was going in the right direction with this project.
In response to Mr. Kinnison's question, City Manager Noe replied that the connectivity
services of the MIS department were being transferred to the corporation. The corporation in turn
would re-contract the services and reimburse the city.
*'!\'k**********
Mayor Garrett opened discussion on Item 13 regarding the agreement between the city and
CC Digital Community Development Corporation. Mr. Jimmy Bray, the city's legal consultant,
explained that the agreement provided the basic framework under which the Corporation would
operate, coupled with the Articles of Incorporation and the by-laws that the Council had previously
approved. He referred to a three-page summary in the Council's agenda packet that highlighted the
agreement's major provisions.
There were no comments from the audience. City Secretary Chapa stated that Item 13.a.
would be considered as an emergency ordinance rather than a first reading ordinance. City
Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:

and criteria. City Secretary Chapa announced that this item was being withdrawn by staff. City
Manager Noe stated that the item would be rescheduled for the May 9 Council meeting.
14. WITHDRAWN
Resolution electing to be eligible to p::uticipate in tax abatement and adopting tax abatement
guideline6 and criteria.
Mayor Garrett opened discussion on Item 15 regarding an amendment to the Corpus Christi
Business and Job Development Corporation's Guidelines and Criteria for Granting Business
Incentives. Director of Economic Development Irma Caballero stated the proposed amendment was
designed to provide the corporation with as much flexibility as possible to grant business incentives.
She said staff recommended the removal of Section 4(g), which limited the maximum amount of
incentives pre job created to $5,000 Instead, the Board, with input and recommendations from the
Economic Development Corporation, would set the amount of incentive on a per project basis. She
explained that in many other communities, the incentive amounts were in the range of $15,000 to
$20,000 per job. To be competitive, Ms. Caballero said the Board needed this added flexibility.
In addition, Ms. Caballero stated that the term "enterprise facilitation" was being
recommended for inclusion in Section 1 Definitions (e) under "Business Incubator". This would
allow the Board to consider funding for small business through enterprise facilitation type programs.
Mr. Kelly asked if the city still had the same amount of resources for economic incentives
had changed. Ms. Caballero answered affirmatively. In response to Mr. Kelly's question, Ms.
Caballero stated that if the city was serious about attracting a major manufacturer with higher paying
Jobs to the area, then the city needed to be prepared to offer greater incentives.
Mr. Kelly asked that if the city changed its guidelines, would there be companies that would
consider locating in Corpus Christi now that had not looked at us previously. Mr. Roland Mower,
Director of the Regional Economic Development Corporation (EDC), replied affirmatively, saying that
the EDC was extremely supportive of these changes. In his previous position with the
Bryan/College Station EDC they commissioned a study to analyze the use of 4A incentives. The
findings indicated that to attract manufacturing jobs around the state, a number of communities were
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
April 25,2006 - Page 12
willing to offer $15,000 to $20,000 incentives. In addition, he said many communities did not have
any return on investment (ROI) requirements that had to be repaid to the city. The City of Corpus
Christi, in contrast, looked at a positive ROI of greater than six percent that would be paid back in
less than seven years. City Manager Noe added that the proposed amendment was consistent with
the recommendations from the city's Economic Summit in January. Mr. Mower stated that the EDC
had hired Mr. Bill Fruth, the economist who presented at the Economic Summit, to create an
incentive matrix and to build a rational economic incentive policy. Mr. Kelly stated that if the Council
passed the proposed amendment. they were going to expect more results out of the EDC.
Mr Noyola, Mr. Marez, and Mr. Garcia spoke in support of the proposed amendment
because it would make the city more competitive in attracting new businesses. In response to Mr.
Garcia's question, Mr. Noe stated that the 4A sales tax generated approximately $4.5 million a year;
$2.1 million went to repay the debt on the baseball stadium, $500,000 went to affordable housing,
and $1 8 million went to economic incentives for small businesses.
Mayor Garrett asked for public comment. Mr. Abel Alonzo suggested that the 4A Board work
with WorkSource to ensure that the city had a trained workforce already in place to fill any new jobs
created City Secretary Chapa polled the Council for their votes as follows:
15. RESOLUTION NO. 026757
Resolution approving an amendment to the Corpus Christi Business and Job Development
Corporation's Guidelines and Criteria for Granting Business Incentives to provide flexibility
in the approval of incentive for capital investmenUfacilities and to include a definition of an
enterprise facilitation.
The foregoing resolution was passed and approved with the following vote: Garrett,
Chesney, Garcia, Kelly, Kinnison, Marez, and Noyola, voting "Aye"; Cooper and Scott were
absent.
Mayor Garrett opened discussion on Item 16, a resolution directing publication of the Notice
of Intention to issue Certificates of Obligation on the landfill projects, Director of Financial Services
Cindy O'Brien explained that the city planned to issue up to $20 million, but would fine-tune the
amount so it would be closer to $18 million in project costs. She said the bond proceeds would be
usacl to complete work on J.C. Elliott landfill and finalize arrangements for the Cefe Valenzuela
landfill so it would be completed by the deadline. In addition, she said staff was asking Council
approval to retain the services of M.E. Allison as financial advisor, and McCall Parkhurst and Horton
as bond counsel.
Mayor Garrett asked if the landfill project was on time. Assistant Director of Engineering
Kevin Stowers replied affirmatively, saying that staff anticipated an August opening date. City
Manager Noe added that staff planned to arrange a tour of the landfill site at the end of a future
Council meeting. There were no comments from the public. City Secretary Chapa polled the
Council for their votes as follows:

Mayor Garrett called for petitions from the audience. Mr. Gabe Lozano Jr., 4602 Mokry,
spoke in favor of transferring Scott Davison and Brenda Gonzales to their former positions at Oso
Golf Course. Mayor Garrett replied that the City Council did not get involved in personnel matters;
he advised Mr. Lozano to speak with City Manager Noe. City Manager Noe noted that he had
spoken with Mr. Lozano regarding this matter before, but he would meet with him again if he wished.

Mayor Garrett called for the City Manager's report. City Manager Noe reported that
tomorrow from 7:30 a.m. to noon, the Storm Water department would hold its annual exercise to drill
on storm surge levee preparations during the hurricane season. He said portions of North Port
Avenue would be restricted to traffic during the exercise.
City Manager Noe reported this Thursday, the city would hold an Open House at the
Customer Call Center beginning at 11 :00 a.m. to publicize the new city assistance number, 826-
CITY. He said the center was receiving over 35,000 calls per month. The city was also going to
expand the call center's hours until 7:00 p.m. initially.
City Manager Noe announced that the third Wi .... Fi educational roundtable would be held for
local school districts this Thursday from 1 :30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the Sixth Floor Conference Room.
Another roundtable was scheduled for small businesses in May.
City Manager Noe reminded the Council that the mid-term retreat would be held next
Tuesday, May 2 from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Mayor Garrett reported that he was receiving positive comments about the Customer Call
Center, and he asked City Manager Noe to let them know.
Mayor Garrett called for Council concerns and reports. Mr. Marez asked City Manager Noe
to look into complaints about the Glasscock landfill between Marina del Sol Condos and the Holiday
Inn Emerald Beach. He asked code enforcement staff to investigate. Mr. Nee replied that there had
been complaints about individuals camping out in the area, and staff would look into it. Mr. Marez
also thanked Ms. Annie Leal and the Call Center for their responsiveness.
Mr Noyola asked City Manager Noe to consider giving Annie Leal and the Customer Call
Center staff an "At Your Service" Award. He also said that he drove by the Peter Piper Pizza at the
Mission Plaza, and noticed that orange sandbags had marked the missing curb that he mentioned
last week. He preferred to see the area marked with orange netting so people could see it more
easily. Mr. Noe replied that the area was under TxDOT control, but staff would follow up on it.
Mr Noyola presented City Manager Noe with a copy of ordinances and resolutions
regulating shelter and rehab locations in cities nationwide. He asked him to provide copies to the
rest of the Council for their information
A discussion ensued about whether the Council had directed the Planning Commission to
develop a potential ordinance on zoning issue for shelters, rehab facilities, and the like. City
Manager Noe replied that when the Planning Commission considered the Metro Ministries case,
they asked for a presentation on the issue at one of their future meetings. He said staff was
currently researching the types of ordinances regulating this issue in other cities, and had asked
their UDC consultant, Duncan and Associates, to research the issue as well. He said staff had not
crafted an ordinance at this time, and it was soon to say that they were developing an ordinance.
Minutes - Regular Council Meeting
April 25, 2006 - Page 15
Mr. Kinnison, Mayor Garrett, and Mr. Chesney spoke against the development of an
ordinance regulating shelters and rehab facilities because they did not feel the majority of the
Council wanted an ordinance. They asked staff communicate to the Planning Commission that the
Council had not directed them to craft an ordinance.
Mr Noyola stated that he was not asking for an item to be placed on the agenda regarding
this issue. He said the media had mistakenly portrayed him as advocating an ordinance. Rather,
he was simply asking staff to research the issue. Mr. Kelly spoke in support of Mr. Noyola's request,
saying that the public perception was that the city was planning to aggressively move the homeless

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The JAG funds have been received for 2 years; prior to that they were known as the Law
Enforcement Block Grant funds. Since 1999, we have been declared a disparate jurisdiction and
have agreed to split the funds 50/50 with Nueces County; each entity filed an application
separately and handled financial and performance reporting separately. A disparate allocation
occurs when a constituent unit of iocal government is scheduled to receive one and one half times
more (four times more for multiple units of local government) than another constituent unit(s),
while the other unit of local government bears more than 50% of the costs of prosecution or
incarceration that arise for Part 1 violent crimes reported by the geographically constituent unit(s).
Under the new guidelines, jurisdictions certified as disparate were required to submit a joint
application for the aggregate of funds allocated to them, specifying the amount of the funds to be
distributed to each of the units of local government and the purposes for which the funds will be
used. The JAG application process required an interlocal agreement with Nueces County
indicating who would serve as the applicant/fiscal agent for the joint funds. The City and County
staff met and agreed that the City would serve as the lead agency.
JAG funds can be used for state and local initiatives, technical assistance, training, personnel,
equipment, supplies, contractual support, and information systems for criminal justice for anyone
or more of the following purpose areas:
. Law enforcement programs . Prosecution and court programs
. Prevention and education programs . Drug treatment programs
. Corrections and community corrections programs
. Planning, evaluation. and technology improvement programs
With this eleventh award, the Law Enforcement Block Grant (LEBG) and JAG program has
provided a total of $3,597,601 in grant funds to the City since the program began in 1996. The
funds have been used to purchase backbone equipment for the Mobil Data/Automated Vehicle
Location project, 27 police package vehicles, 69 unmarked police units, a property van, SWAT
equipment, a bomb suit, digitized radios, radios for the Communications van, digital cameras,
radars, video cameras, personal computer hardware and software, an upgrade to the computer

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Corpus Christi Police Department is in the tenth year as a participant in the Texas
Coastal Corridor High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Initiative created by the Executive
Office of the President, Office of National Drug Control Policy. The grant provides for
the salary and benefits of a full-time program analyst, one administrative assistant,
overtime for 3 Corpus Christi Police Officers, and lease vehicles.
The program focuses on this specific geographic area because it serves as a conduit
for narcotics into Corpus Christi and other metropolitan cities as well as a location for
money launderers to conduct illegitimate businesses with a consumer base that affects
the local population with residual crime. Other agencies participating are the Nueces
County Sheriff, Texas Department of Public Safety, Drug Enforcement Administration,
Internal Revenue Service, U. S. Customs, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and
Firearms. The initiative focuses on the identification and disruption of narcotics
trafficking organizations operating in the counties of Aransas, San Patricio, Refugio,
Nueces, Kleberg, Kenedy, Jim Wells, Brooks, and Victoria. It is anticipated that
shipments of narcotics through this area will be disrupted and long entrenched families
of narcotics traffickers will be apprehended. The profits from the sales of narcotics will
be identified and seized and the intelligence gathered will be downloaded and shared
with other Drug Trafficking Initiatives across the country.

Background
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The City receives grant funding for the Senior Community Services Program through
federal and state grants, which contribute 58% towards the total operating budget. These
projects include the Elderly Nutrition Program, Retired and Senior Volunteer Program and
the Senior Companion Program. The requested appropriation of funds includes the
required cash match for the grants received, as well as funds to maintain the current levels
of services offered at eight Senior Centers.
All congregate and home delivered meals operations are coordinated through the Elderly
Nutrition Program. This service provides a fully prepared, well-balanced meal to senior
center members and homebound and/or disabled persons throughout the City. The meals
are prepared in the Nutrition Education and Service Center located at the Del Mar College
West Campus. We project to serve 150,741 congregate meals and 125,534 home
delivered meals this fiscal year and 870 hours of Benefits Counseling service units.
Senior center operations offer a comprehensive social services component;
recreation/leisure activities; nutrition education; advocacy; health education; community
education; special interest classes and physical fitnesslwellness programs. There are 8
designated senior centers located throughout the city.
The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program has proven to be exceptionally beneficial to
both senior citizens and various public and private agencies in Corpus Christi. RSVP
volunteers are individuals 55 years or older who utilize their talents and experience to
serve the needs of the community. During the past grant period over 965 enrolled
volunteers contributed over 145,359 hours each month through 100 different non-profit,
health care proprietary and governmental agencies.
The Senior Companion Program (SCP) assists low-income volunteers 60 years and over
who are willing to serve as companions to homebound and elderly persons in the
community. The Companions assist homebound individuals with daily living tasks, such as
meal preparation, respite care, grocery shopping and light housekeeping. Their
assistance allows homebound clients to remain in their homes, delaying
institutionalization. There are presently 67 Companions providing 66,949 hours of
community based services to 71 disabled or homebound clients in Corpus Christi.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
AGENDA ITEM:
Motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Contract with RAM
Ter.baologies. Inc. of Fort Washington, PA in the amount of $82,790, for a total re-stated fee of $459, 190, for
contract management and technical services necessary for implementation of Phase I of the citywide Automated
Meter Reading (AMR) project.
City Council Action Date: 5/09/06
ISSUE:
RAM Technologies, Inc. (RAM) completed the initial phases (developing the AMR approach, m8n~ vendor
solicitation and selection, pilot implementation) of this initiative and is cWTently engaged in maJ1ag;ng the efforts
aDd parties of the AMR Year 1 Expansion. The original cootract was submitted and approved with the
UDderstanding that the City should conduct a site survey in the Year I Expansion area. The purpose for the
survey was to confirm the meter inventory requirements as well as identify any needed infrastructure work.
Because of the excessive cost involved, the City decided not to conduct the survey for the Year I area, but to
utilize the data and statistics gathered during the pilot program as a guide. As a result of this decision, RAM bas
been required to expend significant hours assembling and maintaining meter inventories so as to detennine the
I'Clplacement needs for the Year 1 build-out. Additionally, RAM has applied additional homs working with the
City to coordinate and confirm project budgets for the current and remaining project expansion years at the
rcque&t of the City. Though the contract must be amended, the added cost is still less than the cost of the survey,
which was estimated to be approximately $116,610 for Year 1 expansion area, and over $650,000 for the entire 5
year build-out area.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION:
Council approval of motion amending the contract with RAM Technologies.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
· City Council approved a contract with RAM Technologies, Inc. of Fort Washington. PA for contract
management and technical services necessary for implementation of Phase 1 of the citywide Automated
Meter Reading (AMR) project.
FUNDING:
Funds for this project are available from the FY2004-2005 Utilities Capital Improvement Budgets.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION:
City Staff recommends approval of the motion authorizing the City Manager or his designee to execute
Amendment No.1 to the Contract with RAM Technologies, Inc. of Fort Washington, PA in the amount of
$12,790, for a total re-stated fee of $459,190, for contract management and technical services necessary for
implementation of Phase I of the citywide Automated Meter Reading (AMR) project,

City of Corpus Christi - AMR Year 1 Expansion Proposal Amendment
1.0 Introduction
1.1 Purpose
This document is being submitted as a proposal amendment to expand the existing
contract of RAM Technologies, Inc. for additional consulting services and hours. These
services and hours are in addition to the previous proposal for Management and Technical
Services accepted by the City of Corpus Christi in July 2005.
The original proposal was submitted with the understanding that a Site Survey would be
performed in the field for all areas of the City to be converted to AMR. The City of Corpus
Christi subsequently decided not to perform a site survey and has initiated the Year 1
Expansion phase of the AMR build out
RAM Technologies recommended that the City of Corpus Christi should conduct a Site
Survey in the upcoming AMR expansion areas as was done prior to implementing the
AMR pilot. A survey provides many advantages to the project - most notably a survey
confirms meter inventory requirements for the project as well as identifying any
infrastructure work needed in the field. As a result of not performing the survey RAM has
expended significant project hours assembling and maintaining meter inventories - as
opposed to determining the actual quantities, sizes and types via a survey in the field.
In addition, RAM has also applied a substantial quantity of hours working with the City to
coordinate and confirm project budgets and CIP allocations for the current and remaining
project expansion years.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide you with this proposal, and look forward to
working with the City of Corpus Christi on this important project.
If further clarification of the information contained in this document is needed, please do
not hesitate to contact us.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
BACKGROUND: The development and platting of Porto Villageo, located between State
Highway 361 and the Gulf of Mexico and south of Mustang Estates Drive, required the
construction of street pavement public improvements.
Mr. DeAngelo, with Urban Engineering on behalf of Porto Villageo No. 1, LTD., a Texas
Limited Partnership, owner and developer of Porto Villageo submitted deferment
agreement documentation to defer the construction of required public improvements in
accordance with the Platting Ordinance.
The Planning Commission at its December 14, 2005 meeting approved the plat for Porto
Villageo. On February 22, 2006, the Planning Commission recommended the execution of
the Deferment Agreement and found reasonable cause to delay the requirement to
complete 75% of the required public improvements to expedite the recordation of the plat.
A Deferment Agreement, (Exhibit D) between the City of Corpus Christi and Porto Villageo
No.1, LTD., will allow the developer to defer the construction of required improvements for
a period of approximately one (1) year from the date the Deferment Agreement is signed
and approved by the City Council. The deferment of the improvements will allow the
Developer to expedite the recording of the plat and obtain building permits.
The developer has agreed to deposit $372,762.70 in the form of a check, which is 110% of
the estimated cost of constructing the required improvements (Exhibit C), in compliance
with the Platting Ordinance.
Construction plans for the deferred public improvements were reviewed and approved.
Construction is underway at this time and the construction of storm water infrastructure has
been completed
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the motion as presented.

Af'TIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
BACKGROUND: The development and platting of King's Point Unit 6 (see Exhibit B) required the
ofJ-site extension of a 12-inch sanitary sewer collection line. The oft-site sanitary sewer collection
line extends approximately 1,364 linear feet in a westerly direction from the west property line of
King's Point Unit 6 to an existing manhole located on the west side of South Staples Street (see
Exhibit C)
The 12-inch sanitary sewer collection line is required to provide sanitary sewer service to King's
Point Unit 6 and is eligible for reimbursement as a sanitary sewer collection line in accordance with
the Platting Ordinance, The developer submitted an application for sewer line reimbursement and
a Sanitary Sewer Collection Line Extension Construction and Reimbursement Agreement (see
Exhibit F) with supporting documentation in compliance with provisions of the Platting Ordinance,
The Application for Sewer Line Reimbursement and supporting documentation is attached (see
Exhibit D)
In accordance with the reimbursement criteria in the Platting Ordinance, the developer of King's
Point Unit 6 is eligible for a maximum reimbursement equivalent to 50% of the mathematical product
obtained by multiplying the off-site pipe diameter in inches by the fee value of the property. The
acreage fee value is 35.817 acres x $1277.00 per acre = $45,738.31. The average pipe diameter
in inches is 12-inches Therefore, the maximum reimbursement is ($45,738.31 x 12) x 50% =
$274,429.86.
The total construction cost submitted by the developer for the installation of 1,364 linear feet of 12-
inch sanitary sewer collection line is $267,825.50 (see Exhibit E). This is less than the maximum
reimbursement of $274,429.86 permitted by the Platting Ordinance. Reimbursement is payable
upon completion and acceptance of the sanitary sewer collection line work with the actual
reimbursement based on the maximum reimbursement and not to exceed $267,825.50.

ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
PURPOSE OF CLOSURE AND BACKGROUND-
Urban Engineering, on behalf of King's Crossing Realty, is requesting the abandonment
and vacation of a 17 ,016.20-square foot portion of an existing drainage easement out of
Lots 30 thru 34, Block 32, King's Crossing Unit 10, in order to accommodate the future
development of the lots within the area occupied by the existing utility easement. The
easement to be abandoned and vacated is located in an "R-1 B" One-Family Dwelling
District
All public and franchised utilities were contacted regarding the vacating and abandonment
of the utility easement. None of the city departments and franchised utility companies had
any facilities within the easement or any objections to the easement being vacated and
abandoned. The reduction in drainage easement for this basin will not adversely affect
drainage to adjoining properties as confirmed by Urban Engineering.
Staff recommends payment of the fair market value of $31.200 for the abandonment and
vacation of the 17,016.20-square foot portion of the existing drainage easement. The
owner has been advised of and concurs with the conditions of the easement closure.

ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
PURPOSE OF CLOSURE AND BACKGROUND:
Urban Engineering, on behalf of King's Crossing Realty, is requesting the abandonment
and vacation of a 3,880.26-square foot portion of an existing drainage easement out of
Lots 36 thru 39, Block 32, King's Crossing Unit 10, in order to accommodate the future
development of the lots within the area occupied by the existing utility easement. The
easement to be abandoned and vacated is located in an "R-1 B" One-Family Dwelling
District.
All public and franchised utilities were contacted regarding the vacating and abandonment
of the utility easement. None of the city departments and franchised utility companies had
any facilities within the easement or any objections to the easement being vacated and
abandoned. The reduction in drainage easement for this basin will not adversely affect
drainage to adjoining properties as confirmed by Urban Engineering.
Staff recommends payment of the fair market value of $7,120 for the abandonment and
vacation of the 3,880.26-square foot portion of the existing drainage easement. The owner
has been advised of and concurs with the conditions of the easement closure.

portion of a 10-foot wide utility easement out of Lots 1-2, and Lots 23-24, Block 4,
Lexington Estates. Ed Hicks Nissan, LTD. is requesting the closure of the utility easement
to allow for the redevelopment of the site and future construction of a new building and
pavement area for a pre-owned vehicle lot. The easement to be abandoned and vacated is
located in Zone B-3 "Business District" within the city limits of Corpus Christi.
All public and franchised utilities were contacted. Water Department has an existing
waterline within the easement that will be relocated by the Water Department at owner's
expense" Owner is to provide all actual labor cost and materials for the work to be done.
Estimated labor cost for the work to be done is an approximate cost of $3,700.00 and will
take the Water Department approximately 20.5 man hours to do the work. Owner is to
provide all required materials for the work to be done as follows:
300 LF - 6" C900PVC Pipe
1 ea. - 6" MJ Gate Valve
2 ea. . 6" MJ 900 Bend

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Recap of Title II Transition Plan Progress
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
The City of Corpus Christi's Title II ADA Transition Plan consists of accessibility improvement
projects for cross-disabilities through the removal of barriers for access to public programs,
services, and activities, The ongoing Title II Transition Plan efforts are presented by the
foHowing categories of Public Facilities, Public Programs, Site Development, Outreach,
Citywide Curb Ramps and Individual Curb Ramp Requests:
I. Public Facilities
The City's Engineering Services Department completed the contract for the initial projects
identified in the City's 2002 self-evaluation, in which improvements were made in 26 City public
facilities to improve such areas as restrooms, parking spaces, signage, ramps, railings,
thresholds and doorways/entrances,
The City through the Committee For Persons With Disabilities has begun work to update the
transition plan document and further monitoring,
II. Programs
A. Police Department
The Police Department, with input from Municipal Court and Human Relations,
has been working on a proposal for a voluntary ADA parking monitor program.
III. Site Development
Employees working in the areas of accessibility compliance, plan reviews and facility
Inspections and projects will continue to be rotated into the State of Texas' training
academy on Texas Accessibility Standards through the Texas Department of Licensing
and Regulation. One staff member from Human Relations is scheduled to attend the
next Academy class, A total of 6 employees have completed the Academy training
program
IV. Outreach
The promotion of accessibility awareness is a continuing effort. Monthly employee
training classes Include segments on diversity awareness, sensitivity training and
People First Language training. Similar training segments are provided during
supervisory training programs throughout the year in intervals approximately 6 to 8
weeks long, Annual ADA compliance training is provided for public entities, public
businesses and the City's departmental ADA coordinators. Quarterly scheduled
training and technical assistance sessions with Mr. Aaron McCullough from the
Disabilities Law Research Project were held in November over a three(3) day period
for various City Departments and Leadership. The focus of these sessions involving
the Department ADA Coordinators included review of the progress of each department
relative to the Transition Plan. Additional technical assistance sessions were held with
Legal, Engineering Services, Human Resources, Parks and Recreation, and Human
Relations. Mr McCullough also reviewed pending accessibility complaints and City
Hall accessibility and made recommendations,
V. Citywide Curb Ramps
There are 24 defined projects related to ADA curb ramps or path of travel under Bond
2004. Of which 17 are in the design phase and 7 are in the preliminary project phase.
Utilizing TXDOT, CDBG, Bond 2000, Bond 2004, and Drainage CIP 2004 funds, the
City of Corpus Christi will have expended approximately $125 million impacting
accessibility for persons with disabilities in our community.
Non-Discrimination Ordinance
Summary on Complaints Based on Disability
By Category
A Under the category of "Investigations of all complaints received regarding
discrimination by a place of Public Accommodations", there have been 2 disability
complaints filed:
1 . Apartment Complex
Issued tenants notice regarding removal of barriers on walkways
2. Political Office
Added accessible parking, accessible door-bell, and removed
obstructions from path of travel
3, School
Coordinated with district administration in resolution of allocation of
accessible parking,
B. Under the category of "Effect on Other Governmental Entities", there has been 1
complaint that was referred to the appropriate agency/entity:
1 . School District campus needs to allocate accessible parking between
staff and parents
C, Under the category of "Investigation of all complaints received excluding People with
Disabilities from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or otherwise be subjected to
discrimination under any program activity operated or contracted by the City of Corpus
Christi", the total number of disability complaints is 642 for this Quarter:
1. Complaints (512) for Engineering Services related to compliance and/or
existence of curb ramps, detectable warnings, off-spec detectable
warnings, and detectable warnings at hazardous vehicular ways.
2 Complaints (107) for Parks & Recreation for accessibility to and in City
Parks
3. Automated Trash Carts
Citizens who are unable to take the trash cart to the curb for
automated trash pick up service may request a reasonable
accommodation for "back door" service. Since the adoption of this
ordinance, the City is providing 143 accommodations through an
alternate trash pick up service for citizens with disabilities. This
includes 9 requests for this Quarter.
NON-DISCRIMINATION ORDINANCE UPDATE:
Other than ADA disability related complaints and concerns, the Human Relations
Department IS also responsible for enforcing the non-discrimination applications
relative to employment and fair housing. The Human Relations Department has
contractual agreements with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)
and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
During this Quarter, 11 EEOC Employment discrimination cases were resolved and
closed, Of these, 9 were No Fault Settlements resulting in eitherre-instatement,
monetary settlement, neutral Letter of Reference, or required employee and supervisor
training. We currently have approximately 78 EEOC employment cases in the
Investigative and/or mediation stage. Race/national origin constitute 66% of
statute/basis for discrimination charges,
One Fair Housing case was closed and two other housing complaints were resolved
alleging harassment of tenant with disability and unequal treatment of tenant with a
disability. We currently have 10 fair housing cases in the investigative and/or
mediation stage,
in both contracts case closures require the local Human Relations staff to conduct
investigations, on-site visits, obtain witness statements, review related documents, and
mediate and negotiate settlements when appropriate. Additional steps could include
the issuing of subpoena and temporary restraining orders when required. The
department receives the support of the Corpus Christi Human Relations Commission
(CCHRC) in review and approval of legal process steps.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The City of Corpus Chnsti recognizes that unregulated public possession and
consumption of alcohol has created numerous public safety and nuisance problems in
certain areas of town. The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (T ABC) provides for
the City to petition them for an order authorizing the City Council to adopt an ordinance
prohibiting the possession of an open container of an alcoholic beverage and the public
consumption of an alcoholic beverage within the Corpus Christi Central Business
District ("'District")
This district is a compact and contiguous geographical area of the City in which at least
ninety percent (90%) of the land is used for commercial purpose. It is within this district
that there are individuals who engage in activities that create nuisances and pose
threats to the health and safety of the citizenry of the City. These activities may hinder
the efforts of the City, to include those of merchants located with the District, in
attracting citizens and visitors to the City in general.
The City recognizes the potential issues associated with open containers and public
consumption of an alcoholic beverage; therefore, the City Council deems it necessary
and proper and in the best interests of the citizenry of the City to petition the
Commission for an order to adopt an ordinance prohibiting the possession of an open
container of an alcoholic beverage and the consumption of an alcoholic beverage within
the Distnct.
After the resolution is passed, we will send it and the map to TABC and ask for an
Order to get authorization to pass an Ordinance creating the district. Upon
authorization, the ordinance will be written and brought to City Council for approval.

MEMORANDUM
TO: President Mark Scott and Members of the Board of CCHFC
FROM: George K. Noe, General Manager
DATE: May 5, 2006
SUBJECT: Call for a Meeting of the CCHFC
I am requesting that a meeting of the CCHFC be held on Tuesday, May 9, 2006, during
the meeting of the City Council beginning at 10:00 a. m. to consider one item.
City staff has previously notified the City Council that the City has received a generous
donation of the Mary Carroll home (formerly located at 901 Tancahua) for relocation to
Heritage Park. The City Council has taken action to provide $50,000 from the CDBG
program for renovation and restoration of the house once it is relocated to Heritage
Park.
The house is now ready to be moved and Mr. William Bell of JFK Home Movers who is
working for the developer has offered to move the house at his cost of $16,500. I am
requesting the Corporation Board to consider providing these funds to the City of
Corpus Christi from the Corporation's unreserved balance.
Staff would like to again recognize Mr. Charmquist who is redeveloping the property in
the area and is donating the house; Mr. Myron Grossman who not only is assisting Mr.
Charmquist in his real estate capacity but also is a member of the City's Landmark
Commission and played a major role in facilitating the donation; and Mr. Bell who is
providing his services at his cost. We believe that the relocation and renovation of this
historic home in Heritage Park will add one further major dimension to the Heritage
Park area.
