reappointing any of the current Board members Immediately rather than waiting until the term
ended. Mr Marez stated that he would like to see new blood in this group. In response to Mr.
Marez's question, Mayor Garrett stated that he had already compiled and distributed a list of
potential candidates to the Council He said the CVB Board appointments were scheduled for
next weeks Council meeting.

Mr Noyola noted that Section IX, Subsection 9.03 stated the Board members could
serve no longer than six consecutive years. For those Board members who were currently
serving on the Board, he asked if the six-year service limitation included their prior service.
Assistant City Manager ~'J1artinez replied that the contract did not address this issue. City
Secretary Chapa stated that the issue needed to be clarified because there were several Board
members seeking reappointment who currently had four or five years of prior service. Mr.
Noyola spoKe In favor of ncluding prior service in the six-year service limitation because it was
mportaflt to give others ar opportunity to serve on the Board.
Mr Chesney made a motion to amend to Include contract language that prior service will
be considered regarding term limits. seconded by Mr. Noyola. Mayor Garrett called for
discussion regarding Mr. Chesney s motlon.
Mr Foster Edwards, CVB Board treasurer. pointed out that the pool of candidates for the
hoteliers, restaurateurs, and attractions categories was limited. He suggested that the Council
consider assigning permanent slots on the Board for the Texas State Aquarium CEO or the
manager of the largest hotel In town. Mr. Chesney replied that the Texas State Aquarium had
other staff members besides the CEO who could be nominated to serve on the Board. He also
said that Board members who had met the six-year service limitation could seek reappointment
after waiting one year
Mr Kinnison spoke in favor of the proposed contract because it was tied to performance
standards and even offered incentives for improved performance. Regarding the Columbus
Fleet debt, he said that as long as HOT tax funds paid the debt, he did not care how it was paid.
He emphasized, however that he did not want the debt paid out of the General Fund. He said
he looked forward to seeing the C\lB's marketing and business plan.
Mr Chesney spoke in favor of reducing the Board membership through attrition rather
than by ending everyone'~ terms simultaneously He said it was unfair to penalize all the Board
members by "cleaning house" In the proposed way. He said there were current Board members
who were doing a good joe He asked If the CVB agreed with the proposed method for reducing
the Board Mr Edwards ~eplied that the CVB was in favor of reducing the size of the Board,
whether by attrition :x otherwise
Mr Chesney also spoke Ir favor of redUCing the Board membership further, possibly to
nine members. Mayor Garrett replied that while he was not opposed to replacing the Board
members by attrition, city staff and the CVB had met extensively and agreed with the proposed
Board size of 11 member~ He said it was also agreed that the CVB Board needed to move in a
different direction, and a Change in membership was a good start He acknowledged that some
members were dOing a good Job but other members did not appear to be committed. Ms.
Debbie Lindsey-Opel, Interim Convention and Visitors Bureau CEO, agreed that some of the
members had changes in employment status or other reasons that prevented them from fully
contributing to the Board
Mr Garcia spoke n favor of the proposed contract. He felt that prior service should not
be conSidered regarding term limits. He also spoke in favor of moving the Columbus Fleet debt
from the CVB budget because It was limiting their resources for marketing efforts.
Mayor Garrett called for the vote on Mr. Chesney's motion to amend regarding term
limits. The motion to amend failed as follows Chesney, Marez, Noyola, and Scott, voting
Aye"; Garrett, Cooper Garcia Kelly and Kinnison. voting "No" City Secretary Chapa noted

that language would be added to the contract to clarify that Board members' prior service would
not be considered regarding term limits
Mr Scott made a 'notion that the Columbus Fleet debt be moved from the CVB budget
and Into the city's debt service fund, and keep the CVB funding in place, seconded by Mr.
Garcia Mayor Garrett called for discussion on Mr. Scott's motion. City Manager Noe stated
that by moving the Columbus Fleet debt to the debt service fund, the city would increase the
appropriation In the debt service. He said there was currently more fund balance in the debt
service fund in next year's budget than was required for debt service. He said the move would
Impact the budget. however, because the city's debt capacity would be reduced by the said
amount which would affect Bond 2008.
A ,jlscussion ensued regarding the history of the Columbus Ships and debt. Ms.
Lindsey-Opel stated that t'le Columbus Fleet Association, a private group, rallied to ask the city
to fund the bond issue for Columbus Fleet plaza Mr Noe added that the group was supposed
to pay rent to the city to cover the cost of the bonds. She said the ships sustained extensive
damage from an accident during a storm however, and the insurance settlement did not cover
the revenue loss. She said a group organized by the Mayor's Office developed a plan to use
Hotel Occupancy tax funds to underwrite the cost, similar to the plan used for the U.S.S.
Lexington Unfortunately she said unlike the U S.S Lexington the Columbus Fleet was not
able to earn a profit as an attraction
Mr Noyola spoke against moving the Columbus Fleet debt to the General Fund because
he did not think it was fair to the taxpayers
Mr Rocco Montesano, Director of the U S.S. Lexington, spoke in favor of moving the
Columbus Fleet debt from the CVB budget to the city budget. He said the HOT tax and the debt
service fund were al! funded through city tax dollars, and it was the Council's call on how best to
use the revenues. He spoke in favor of the new performance-based CVB contract; to meet the
performance standards, h:Jwever. he said the CVB could better use the resources freed up by
the Columbus Fleet debt for marketing efforts
Mr Kinnison spoke against moving the Columbus Fleet debt to the debt service fund.
He and Mr Noyola preferred to give the CVB additional funding from the HOT tax to make the
debt payment rather than nove the debt to the General Fund
Mr Abel Alonzo spoke against moving the Columbus Fleet debt to the debt service fund
because he did not think it was fair to the taxpayers
Mr Foster Edwaras pOinted out that the Columbus Fleet debt was incurred by the city,
not the CVB. He said it was the Council's decision on how the city paid for the debt. He
advised that the CVB would better off spending the $250,000 on marketing and advertising
efforts rather than paying the Columbus f=leet debt
Mayor Garrett asked staff to comment on how moving the Columbus Fleet debt to the
debt service fund would affect the city budget. City Manager Noe replied that when the city
considered future bond sales after 2008. staff would have to adjust the amount the city could
issue before a tax rate increase was required. In the end, he said the move would defer the
city's capacity to issue debt In the future. He also pointed out that the city's capacity was
relatively large after 2008 because the 1986 bond issue would be paid off. Assistant City
Manager Martinez added that if the city nad to absorb the $250,000 payment as a tax increase
'n the debt service fund. t would be a relatively small Increase of a quarter of a penny. Mr.

Chesney noted that this would be a better alternative than taking the funds out of the HOT tax
revenues. which would require reduced funding for arts agencies and the Convention Center.
Mr Kelly stated that when the Columbus Fleet debt was first discussed, his impression
was that the city had pledged that the taxpayers would not have to pay the debt. He felt it was
preferable to give the CVB funding from the HOT tax to pay the debt rather than switch the
obligation to property tax payers.
Mr Kinnison stated that he wanted to see the CVB improve their performance before
giving them any more money He and Mr. Kelly noted that the CVB budget this year was
$100,000 higher than las1 year's cudgel so they had already gotten an increase but with no
performance results He also cautioned the Council that the city was able to acquire the
bowlers convention because of its healthy HOT tax fund balance He said the city did not have
a healthy HOT tax now, and If the City wished to pursue contracts for the men or women's
bowling tournaments, the', needed to build up the fund He spoke against moving the debt to
the debt service fund
Mr Chesney stateCl that the city has historically underfunded the CVB, making it difficult
for the city to compete with other cities in the State. He said the city was a tourism and
convention center. and needed to fund the CVB as such. He said he did not recall a promise
ever being made to the citizens that the debt would not be paid out of tax dollars. Mr. Bill Pruet
agreed that before the C\/B could bring the city to a new level, it would need more funding for
marketing Ms Cooper sooke In favor of moving the Columbus Fleet debt to the debt service
func
Mayor Garrett called for the vote on Mr Scott's motion to amend to move the Columbus
Fleet debt from the HOT tax to the debt service fund, and to keep the CVB funding in place.

Mayor Garrett opened diSCUSSion on Item 29 regarding the funding for the Sanitary
Sewer Trunk Fund System and other Infrastructure Systems. City Manager Noe reported that in
April 2005. the Council adopted a resolution to suspend applications to the Sanitary Sewer
Trunk System due to a shortage of funding. He said In April 2006, staff reported that they would
be developing a new program for funding the system by the end of the summer. Meanwhile, he
said the city had receiveo a request to allow developers to submit applications for approval
Minutes - Regular Councl Meetln9
July 11 2006 Page 18
without a promise for reimbursement, but they would have an opportunity for investment. There
were no comments from the public
Mr Garcia noted 'hat the proposed system would reimburse projects on a first-come,
first serve basis. He spoke in favor of extending the effective date of the resolution to 90 days
from now to level the plaYing field for smaller developers and engineers. At the end of the 90th
day. he said developers could submit applications to see if they were eligible.
Mr Gunning replied that when staff developed the proposed resolution, they had set an
effective date of July'; 2, 2006. At that time, however, equity issues were raised, and a local
engineer had requested a 60-day time frame He said staff agreed with Mr. Garcia's concerns
about fairness issues. and subsequentlY staff was prepared to recommend an effective date of
30 days Mr Garcia replied that 30 days did not provide sufficient time for developers; he
preferred a minimum of 60 days. He also questioned the wisdom of opening the application
process when the city coud not guarantee reimbursements.
Mr Garcia made c motion to amend the resolution to provide for an effective date of 90
days after passage, seconded by Mr Noyola, and passed. City Secretary Chapa polled the
Council for their votes on the resolution as amended as follows:
29. RESOLUTION NO 026869
Resolution amending Resolution No. 026216 adopted on April 12, 2005, to authorize the

The foregoing resolution was passed and approved with the following vote: Garrett,
Chesney Cooper, Garcia. Kelly. Marez, Noyola, and Scott, voting "Aye"; Kinnison was

Mayor Garrett referred to Item 30, an ordinance changing the name of Winnebago Street
to Uptown Avenue, and said it was withdrawn by the applicant. After meeting with the
developer and the neighborhood representatives, Mayor Garrett said a compromise was
brokered to change Mr Adame's building address to 901 Upper Broadway, which coincided with
the address of the Knucklehead's Restaurant across the street. He said the Winnebago Street
name would not be changed Mr Joel Mumphord thanked the Mayor and Council for their
efforts in finding a compromise

Background
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Texas General Land Office administers the Beach Maintenance Fund to partially reimburse
cities and counties for beach cleaning, lifeguards, and safety patrol services. The City Council
must annually approve submission of the reimbursement application to the state for beach
cleaning and life guarding reimbursement and authorize the City Manager to execute all
necessary documents The application will provide financial assistance to the City for the 2007
state fiscal year
The Beach Maintenance Fund Program reimburses cities and counties by a formula that
distributes a finite budget of $940,000 each year. Of that budget the General Land Office is
authorized to take up to ten percent for administrative costs. The principal portion of the beach
maintenance appropriations, amounting to $846,000 presently is distributed among the twelve
communities that contain public beaches within their jurisdiction and have made application for
funding Seventy-five percent of funds available for distribution shall be allocated by
determining each participant's proportionate share of total participant expenditures during the
fiscal years preceding the year for which participant is applying for reimbursement. Twenty-five
percent of the funds available for distribution shall be allocated by determining each
participant's proportionate share of total linear footage of gulf beach which the participants will
clean and maintain pursuant to project agreements authorized in Texas Administrative Code,
Title 31. Part I, Chapter 25. There is a three-year averaging process for new entrants into the
pool of reimbursement requestors
Cities which qualify for eligibility under the Natural Resources Code, may receive up to, but no
greater than two-thirds reimbursement for eligible expenses incurred in cleaning and
maintaining the beaches; however, state appropriations have always limited this reimbursement
to the range of 10 to 20 percent of actual local costs.
The City maintains 41,929 feet of gulf beaches with estimated eligible expenses of $778,500.
It is anticipated that the Texas General Land Office will reimburse the City $44,000.

Change Order NO.3 is necessary to ensure reliable engine pump service at the Power
Street Pump Station
PROJECT BACKGROUND: The Downtown Drainage Improvement Project was approved
under the $55 million Storm Water Capital Improvement Program.
The Downtown Drainage Improvement Project was developed to alleviate the major
flooding that occurs in the downtown area during times of heavy rain. Major flooding
occurred in 2002, reaching approximately elevation 5.8' in the William Street and Water
Street area. Top of curb is approximate elevation 3.4'. Flooding in this area is attributed to
the Water Street area draining last because the Power Street Pump Station, located north
of IH-37, is overwhelmed during a 1 OO-year flood. This project is developed into three
phases with four separate projects to expedite construction. The objective in Phase 1 and
Phase 2 of the Downtown Drainage Improvements is to reduce the water elevation to 3.6'
in the \/Vater Street area during a 1 DO-year flood to keep it out of the buildings. Phase 3
will be designed to alleviate the flooding in the Arena and Port areas.
· Downtown Draina~e Improvement Proiect, Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 3
Design was approved under Amendment No. 1 and NO.2 to the contract with Urban
Engineering for Phase 1 and Phase 2, and preliminary design for Phase 3.
r Phase 1 Part A - Water Street Interceptor and Inlets CProiect No. 2036): Part A
constructs an interceptor conduit, an 8' x 5' concrete box culvert which will transfer a
portion of the storm water from the Power Street drainage basin into the Kinney
Street drainage basin. The interceptor will be a gravity system and is to be
constructed in Water Street from William Street to Kinney Street. The project also
Includes a new grated inlet across three lanes of Water Street adjacent to the
Kinney Street intersection and several new inlets along Water Street. The contract
was bid on November 24,2004 and awarded to Ramos Industries Inc. of Pasadena,
Texas It is currently under construction and is anticipated to be complete by
October 2006

, Phase 1 Part B - Kinnev Street Pump Station (Proiect No. 2242): Part B
involves replacing the existing Kinney Street Pump Station located on City property
at the corner of South Shoreline Boulevard and Kinney Street. The existing station
was constructed in 1947 and has a rated capacity of 167 CFS (74,950 GPM). The
'lew station is designed for a 100-year storm event with a capacity of 426 CFS
191,200 GPM). The eXisting pump station will remain in service in its current
:apaclty until the new pump station is commissioned and operational. There will be
no reduction in pumping capacity during the construction of this project. A new
,jlscharge box to the bay will be constructed under the Seawall Repairs - Magee
Beach Contract D (Project No. 3172)
, Phase 2 - Aanes Street Box Culvert and Diversion Lines (Proiect No. 2225):
Phase 2 was bid on September 21,2005. Phase 2 constructs a new storm water 6'
x 6' concrete box culvert from Water Street and Kinney Street intersection to the
Blucher Park with storm water inlets to reduce the load on the Downtown pump
stations. The new Agnes box culvert will be a gravity drainage system to collect and
deliver the storm water directly to the bay. The project also constructs a Balustrade
in the park to increase the capacity of the existing Blucher Box pressure system and
disconnects faulty Inlets to keep the existing system from back flowing into local
areas. The downstream sections and new outfall for this project was coordinated
and constructed under the Phase I Part A -Water Street Interceptor Box (Project No.
2036), Phase I Part B - Kinney Street Pump Station (Project No. 2242) and the
Seawall Repairs - Magee Beach Contract D (Project No. 3172).
)0.- Phase 3 - Power Street Drainaae Area Improvements - New Pump Station
(HuQhes Street) and Interceptors (Proiect No. 2226): Phase 3 is a future project.
The project will be designed to alleviate the flooding in the Arena and Port areas.
This new pump will supplement the Power Street Pump Station to allow for the 100-
year flood to be discharged into Corpus Christi Bay.

AGENDA BACKGROUND INFORMATION
SUBJECT: Southside Water Transmission Main Phase 5 (Project No. 8391)
CHANGE ORDER NO.1
DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE ORDER NO.1: The change order consists of:
. Water Line Replacement
Water lines on the north side of Whiteley Drive, the south side of Thelma Street and the
south side of Martha Street are to be replaced with new larger diameter pipes. Existing
lines are 4" diameter cast iron pipes and, due to the age and condition of the pipes and
water demands in the area, new 6" diameter PVC pipes will be installed (2,150 LF on
Whiteley Drive; 550 LF on Thelma Street; and 1,030 LF on Martha Street). The pipe
replacement is proposed at this time due to construction in the area of the Phase 5
water line and the Whiteley Drive pavement rehabilitation.
Cost: $219,509.37
· Widenina Whitelev Drive
Existing street pavement is approximately 20 feet wide. This is considered narrow for a
residential street and residents have trouble passing, especially the school busses that
travel this road. Since a large portion of the existing pavement will be removed during
construction of the Phase 5 water line, it is proposed that the entire street be reworked,
including adding approximately four extra feet of width to provide a new 24-foot wide
street Cost: $12,755.00
· Waldron Connection Pipe Size Increase
Connection from the new 42" diameter pipeline to the existing 12" diameter water line at
Waldron Road and Yorktown Boulevard will be increased in size from the 16" diameter
shown to a 24" diameter line. The Increase in the connection size will provide greater
capacity for future demands and expansion Cost: $14,318.89
Total of Change Order No.1: $346,583.26
PROJECT BACKGROUND: The Council-approved 1997 Water Distribution System Master
Plan Update recommended a new Southside Water Transmission Main from the O.N.
Stevens Water Treatment Plant (ONSWTP) to a new pumping plant with associated large
main improvements (Staples Street Pumping Plant). This work was necessary to alleviate
inadequate water supply and pressure problems experienced during peak demand periods
in Pressure Zone 2, the area essentially southeast of Everhart Road. Phases 1 through 4
have been completed (see description below).
~U:rHSIDE TRANSMISSION MAIN, PHASES 1- 8:
PltASE 1: On June 16, 1998, Council awarded an engineering services contract to Urban
Engineering for the Souths ide Water Transmission Main Phase 1 from the O.N. Stevens
Water Treatment Plant to Clarkwood Road. Council awarded a construction contract for
this phase of the project to Pate & Pate Construction on December 12, 2000, which was
completed and put into service in May 2002.
>-I \HOMEIRachelle\GEN\WaterlONSWTP\839'Ph 5\Change Order Nl I\Agenda Backgcound doc
PHASES 2, 2a and 3: On April 24, 2002, Council awarded an engineering contract to
Urban Engineering for the Souths ide Water Transmission Main Phases 2, 2a & 3 from the
intersection of Saratoga Boulevard and County Road 54 to the Staples Street Pumping
Plant (including a connection to the existing 42" Holly Road main). On January 14, 2003,
a construction contract was awarded to Garney Companies, Ltd. of Kansas City, Missouri,
for $15,844,698,58 Work has been completed for this phase of the project.
PHASES 4 and 4a: A design contract was awarded December 17, 2002 to Urban
Engineering in the amount of $1,824,742 for the Southside Water Transmission Main
Phases 4, 4a, and 5, As part of that contract, the Council authorized the permitting and
design of a water line from the Staples Street Pumping Plant to Flour Bluff, terminating at
Whiteley Drive, On March 30, 2004, City Council awarded an amendment to that contract
for Phase 6 for permitting necessary to cross the Laguna Madre with a pipeline. On July
13, 2004, a construction contract was awarded to Laughlin-Thyssen, Inc. of Houston,
Texas in the amount of $7.139,820 for Phases 4 and 4a.
PHASE 5: On February 28, 2006, a construction contract was awarded to S.J. Louis
Construction Ltd, of San Antonio, Texas, in the amount of $8,476,046 for Phase 5. The
contract specifies that the completion time of the entire project shall be 300 calendar days.
For each calendar day that any work remains incomplete after the time specified, $1,000
per calendar day will be assessed against the contractor as liquidated damages. The water
transmission main is 42" in diameter, 5.5 miles in length and will be constructed of bar-
wrapped concrete pressure pipe,
PHASE 6: This project consists of the installation of a 42" diameter waterline, which will
connect to the end of the Phase 5 project at the east end of Whiteley Drive, go across the
Laguna Madre, and extend along Sea Pines Boulevard to an existing waterline along Park
Road 22, Due to regulatory requirements and the location of the project in environmentally
sensitive areas, additional effort is required both in the design of the project and during
construction. A biologist will visit the site to confirm that construction is within established
corridors and that no natural resources are unnecessarily impacted.
PHASE 7: The existing single water feed on Padre Island is a 24" ductile iron pipe that is
over 30 years old. The next phase of the transmission main will tie the mainland phases of
the Southside Water Transmission Main to Padre Island in order to upgrade and provide
TCEQ-required minimum pressures to the island. This phase will include the installation of
a 36" line along the east side of Park Road 22 and will terminate at the Sand Dollar Pump
Station.
PHASE 8: With the improvements on Padre Island and new TCEQ regulations for elevated
water requirements, an elevated storage tank will be installed south of Sea Pines Road.
This phase will provide a 30" water main to supply the elevated tank and will be an integral
part of the Aquifer Storage Reservoir for the island.
PADRE ISLAND ELEVATED STORAGE TANK: To provide constant pressures on Padre
Island and to meet TCEQ regulations, an elevated storage tank is required. The elevated
tank will be approximately 1,000,000 gallons in capacity and will be designed to withstand
adverse weather conditions. It will also include cathodic protections and coating to
withstand deterioration
H:\HOME\Rachelle\GEN\Water\ONSWTP\83~'-Ph 5\Change Order No '\Agenda Background doc
PADRE ISLAND AQUIFER STORAGE RESERVOIR (ASR): Aquifer Storage Reservoir
(ASR) is the storage of water in a suitable aquifer and recovery of the water through a well
during times of need. ASR offers several advantages, including substantially higher
available storage volumes and substantially lower costs per unit volume of water stored.
Implementation of ASR will provide the City with a strategic water storage system. The first
phase of ASR (a single well with a target capacity of approximately 2.5 MGD) is currently
planned near Park Road 22 south of the majority of future development anticipated within
the service area. AntiCipated construction of this project will take place in FY '07-08.
~IOR COUNCIL AND ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION: See EXHIBIT "A-1."
BJTVRE COUNCIL ACTION: Approval of design amendments, construction contracts
and testing agreements to complete the project as required.

AGENDA BACKGROUND INFORMATION
SlJBJECT: a.N. Stevens Water Treatment Plant Alternate Power Supply System Failure
Analysis (Project No. 8553) - AMENDMENT NO.1
.Qf:SCRIPTION OF AMENDMENT NO.1: In the process of performing the forensic study
and reviewing the historical data retrieved from the GE Multilin 489 differential relay, it has
been determined that the electrical current transformers in the generators are saturating.
This saturation caused the relays to trip when the initial transformer inrush current was
applied. To correct this problem, the consulting engineer (Jim Warwick, P.E., of Tetradyne
Inc.) prescribed changing the current transformers from Class-1 00 to Class-200. He also
suggested the ratio be changed from 400:5 to 600:5. These changes were not anticipated
when the project was started in April 2006.
Also, Tidal Power Services, LLC recommends additional testing and changes to ensure the
emergency power system is ready and capable of transitioning from the utility (AEP) to the
three (3) emergency generators when necessary. This additional step would be in the form
of a full dynamic transfer test. It is recommended this test be performed each month during
monthly maintenance.
Additional funds are needed to cover the cost of the current transformers ($9,000.00), and
to initiate the monthly dynamic-power transfer testing of the generators ($13,500.00), for a
total of $22,500.00.
~OJECT BACKGROUND: At present, the three (3) stand-by generators at the a.N.
Stevens Water Treatment Plant start and produce voltage properly. When the units are
closed onto the system and called on to produce current and carry the load of the plant, the
units trip off. The relays that trip the circuit breakers are Multilin (built by General Electric)
and the indication is a buss differential. Under this type of trip, a differential trip indicates
the electrical current leaving the generator windings is not exiting the generator buss.
Because all three (3) units are encountering the same type of problem when called on to
deliver current to the power system, this indicates there is a problem in the wiring or a bad
current transformer.
PflIOR COUNCIL ACTION: (NONE)
efll9R ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION:
1. April 3. 2006 - Administrative approval of a Construction Materials Engineering
Laboratory's Inspection and Materials Testing Services Agreement with Tidal Power
Services, LLC of Hallettsville, Texas, in the amount of $24,600 for the a.N. Stevens
Water Treatment Plant Alternate Power Supply System Failure Analysis.
2. April 3. 2006 - Administrative approval of a Small AlE Agreement for ArchitecVEngineer

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
CHANGE ORDER:
Change Order No 1 consists of four items. The components of the change order are:
1) Electrical Building - The design of the electrical building, as bid, was a roofed
structure with open sides. The electrical equipment was to be housed in NEMA-3R
Enclosures (weatherproof). The open sides were to be chain link fencing to provide
security and air circulation to dissipate heat from the equipment. The building was
also designed with sufficient area to house the stop logs for the pump station. City
staff have reviewed this facility and determined that a fully enclosed structure would
provide greater protection from the elements and a more secure facility. The
structure was redesigned to include concrete masonry unit walls (CMU), air
conditioners to dissipate the heat from the Motor Control Center, over sized doors to
facilitate removal of the electrical enclosures, and NEMA-1 electrical enclosures.
(Interior rated). The cost for this work is $38,412.
2) Metering and Pump Control Equipment - The project included a meter vault to
house a strap-on ultrasonic meter on the 60-inch diameter pipeline. City staff
expressed concern about the potential for the vault flooding and problems with
maintaining the meter in the below ground vault. The plans were modified to
eliminate the 60-inch meter and the vault to include 3 - 36" Magnetic meters (one
for each pump header along with a totalizer for all three meters.
This Item includes pressure transmitters and PumpNalve control programmable
logic controllers (PLCs) that were not included in the plans as bid. This equipment is
necessary to coordinate the opening and closing of the butterfly valves with the
operation of the pumps to assure that the pumps are operating against a head as
designed. The cost of work item 2 is $52.731.
The price includes credits for the elimination of the valve vault and the 60" ultrasonic
meter.
3) Project Photography - The specifications require the contractor to provide ground
level progress photography on a monthly basis and aerial photography at 3 month
intervals. The contractor has failed to provide these photographs. As a result, a
deduction of $1,200 is being made from the contract price.
4) Project Office - The specifications require that the contractor provide a furnished
project office for the superintendent and for the project engineering and inspection
staff. This facility has not been provided. As a result, a deduction of $12,000 is being
made from the contract price.
The net total of the change order is $77,943. The change order also provides a 48-day
extension of the contract time. A change order summary is attached. See Exhibit B

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
CHANGE ORDER:
Change Order No 6 consists of five separate sections. Sections A and B abandons an
existing sewer and concrete junction vault that are in very poor condition, constructs new
manholes and a new 8" line on Cleveland Street. The new line will connect to the new line
under construction on Leopard Street. This work will permit the abandonment of the
existing sewer on Antelope Street, between Doss Street and Leopard Street. In addition,
the sewer that is to be abandoned connects to a concrete junction vault in the vicinity of the
Antelope/Leopard intersection that was discovered to be in poor condition. With the
abandonment of one of the sewers entering this vault, the vault can be removed and
replaced with a fiberglass manhole.
Section C of this change order provides for repairs and relining of an existing sanitary
sewer on Whalen Drive located south of Saratoga, between Everhart and Weber. Based
on a homeowner's report of ground subsidence, the existing 10" sanitary sewer within a
utility easement adjacent to the homes was cleaned and televised. The clay sewer pipe
was found to be cracked and/or broken at various locations along its 246' length. Due to its
location within an easement, and close proximity to existing homes, conventional open
excavation repairs are not feasible. This change order calls for the rehabilitation of the
sewer using a trench less method (pipe bursting), along with necessary surface
restorations.
Section D of the change order provides for the installation of an inter-connection between
two major trunk systems. The interconnect location is shown on the attached map. See
Exhibit D By installing this inter-connection, the potential for surcharging ofthe individual
systems can be reduced. This.. in turn, reduces the potentials for sewage overflows that
would violate Texas Commission for Environmental Quality (TCEQ) regulations. Along with
this inter-connection, the Winnebago/Brownlee intersection will be reconstructed with
concrete pavement to replace the existing asphalt pavement that is in very poor condition.
Section E of this change order adds $19,504.09 to the contract for emergency repair
previously completed on the East Bound IH-37 Frontage Road just east of Port Avenue.
An existing sanitary sewer within the limits of the project's construction caved in. Although
this sewer had already been abandoned, a cavern above the sewer had already formed.
But this cavernous condition was unknown until it surfaced in the form of a sinkhole.
It is antiCipated the work for Section A. B, C and D will be completed no later than early
October. 2006.
ENGINEERING SERVICES:
The proposed engineering amendment is necessary for continued construction
management and inspection services associated with the additional change order work to
be undertaken The Contract Summary is attached. SeeExhibit C.

Why was this change necessary?
fhis change order consists offive separate sections, Sections A and Bare $99,369.50. For these sections, in order to
abandon an existing sewer and concrete junction vault that are in very poor condition, new manholes and a new 8" line
must be constructed on Cleveland Street. This new line will connect to the new line that is already under construction on
Leopard Street. This constructiOn will then allow for the existing sewer on Antelope Street, between Doss Street and
Leopard Street to be abandoned In addition, in the vicinity of the Antelope/Leopard intersection, the sewer that is to be
abandoned connects to a concrete junction vault Recently, it was discovered that this vault is in poor condition. With
the abandonment of one of the sewers entering this vault. the vault can be removed and replaced with a fiberglass
manhole that will more accurately depIct the sewer system layout.
Section C of this change order IS for the repairsirelining 01 an existing sanitary sewer on Whalen Drive for a cost of
$52, I 77~9 Whalen Drive is lucated on the south side of the City, South of Saratoga, between Everhart and Weber.
Based on adjacent homeowner s concerns, about ground subsidence, the existing 10" sanitary sewer within a utility
easement adjacent to the homes was cleaned and televised. The sewer is of clay pipe and was found to be cracked and/or
broken at various locations along its 246' length Due to its location within an easement, and close proximity to existing
homes, conventional open exca\ ation repairs are not feasible This change order calls for the rehabilitation ofthe sewer
using a trelllhless method (pipe bursting) along I.,ith necessary surface restorations.
SectiOn U 01 this change order IS for $528,782.50 and proVIdes for the installation of an inter-connection between two
major trunk systems By install mg th is inter-connection, the potential for surcharging of the individual systems can be
reduced, This, In turn, reduces the potentials for sewage overflows that would violate Texas Commission for
Environmental Quality (TCEQ) regulations, Along with this inter-connection, the WinnebagoiBrownlee intersection will
be recomtructed with concrete Davement to eliminate the existing asphalt pavement that is in very poor condition.
SectIOn f of this change order adds $] 9,504.09 to the contract for emergency repair on Antelope Street. An existing
sanitary sewer within the limits ,)fthe project's construction caved in. Although this sewer had already been abandoned,
a cavern above the sewer had already formed, But this cavernous condition was unknown until it surfaced in the form of
a sinkhok
How can similar changes be avoided in the future?
Basically. all five ofthe sections of this change order were unavoidable. None of these conditions were known at the
time of the preparatIon of the scope, plam and specifications for this project.

AGENDA BACKGROUND INFORMATION
,MIBJECT: Leopard Street Roadside Safety Improvements, Phase 1 (Project No. 2208)
CHANGE ORDER NO.2
gjANGE ORDER DESCRIPTION: On Bearden Road, at its intersection with Rhew Road,
there exists three 36" diameter concrete culvert pipes. At one time, these pipes were
adequate for the amount of storm water runoff generated by the area. However, over the
past few years with the increases in development in the area, these culvert pipes are no
longer adequate. The existing pipes now create a storm water backup upstream and cause
high water levels that create flooding in adjacent areas.
This change order will provide for the removal of these existing culverts and replacement
with two 6-foot by 5-foot concrete box culverts, which will triple the capacity of the culvert
system. Along with the new box culverts, there will be concrete headwalls, metal beam
guardrails and other items that will provide for a better and safer drainage structure system.
The total cost of Change Order NO.2 is $154,693.
fIlo,JECT BACKGROUND: This project is part of the Council-approved Storm Water
Capital Improvement program's $55 million list of priority projects. During the course of
developing the CIP priority listing, consultants were hired to assess drainage in numerous
areas throughout the City. Based on the data, evaluations and cost estimates developed
through the consultants, the City developed a priority listing for implementation of the
improvements. Through the RFQ process, the City requested proposals and has opted to
hire numerous consultants to complete the $55 million CIP projects.
One of the proposed priority projects, Leopard Street, was previously rehabilitated to a four
lane divided urban arterial street with a raised median as part of the 1986 Bond projects.
TxOOT matching funds were used to fund the construction; therefore, the project had to be
designed to TxDOT standards Part of these TxDOT standards involved safety end
treatments of existing culverts and allowable side slopes. This portion of Leopard Street
has parallel roadside ditches with steep side slopes that are in excess of TxDOT allowable
standards. Additionally, most of the existing culverts and cross drainage structures do not
have safety end treatments.
Sidewalk work is being funded through the 2000 Bond Issue under the project category
Sidewalk Accessibility Improvements for the disabled, which provides for ADA curb cuts,
ramps and sidewalk improvements to ensure compliance with the Americans with
Disabilities Act.

Re: Street Closure Request
Dear Skip:
The American Bank Center, in association with Special Olympics Texas, will be hosting
the "Texas Bayball Ballyhoop Tournament" from July 28 - July 30, 2006, at the
American Bank Center. We would like to hold this event on the northernmost end of
Shoreline Blvd directly east of the Convention Center, beginning at the intersection of
Fitzgerald and Shoreline northward.
This fundraiser is in support of Special Olympics Texas/South Texas-Area 2 and consists
of numerous three-person basketball teams competing for prizes. All proceeds will
benefit Special Olympic Texas- Area 2. In the past, over 500 teams have been featured
in the tournaments, as well as celebrity games and slam-dunk: contests. No other events
will be occurring within the area of the venue which would conflict with the event.
We request the closure of the northernmost end of Shoreline Blvd, from the intersection
of Fitzgerald and Shoreline Blvd northward, beginning at 6:00 AM July 27, 2006 until
6:00 AM 31 July, 2006. No other businesses or operations will be negatively affected by
this closure. All barricades, booths, street markings, and equipment will be removed no
later than 6 AM, 31 July 2006, returning the street to its original condition. All courts will
be marked with temporary paint, easily removable by water.
Additionally, we request a waiver of any and all fees and charges associated with this
permit and request for street closure. Please advise us as to what additional steps are
needed to insure compliance with any other traffic or city codes on the closure of this
segment of Shoreline Blvd.

Fr.uencv Distribution
A frequency distribution gives us information regarding the extent to which those capable of
using a health plan actually use it There are two main components of interest: the number of
persons making claims against the plan, and the amount of benefit paid out to those persons.
Compared over the course of a plan year, any number of characteristics can be identified. For
example. how quickly does half of the population reach $1,000 benefit? What benefit range
captures the bulk of the population? How much of the population hits high dollar benefit
amounts (in excess of $50,000) and when does it start happening? How many participants
simply don't receive any benefit at all? And, finally, is this pattern consistent from year to year?
The followmg tables answer some of these questions for the first three quarters ofthe year.

It is important to remember that frequency distribution tables show plan utilization over time.
Those done on a month to month basis reflect the growth in usage of a plan over the course of
the plan year. As a plan year progresses, more people make claims, more people make additional
claims, and more deductible and out-of-pockets limits are met. As a result one can expect to see
a migration of participants into the bottom layers of the distribution and from the bottom into
higher levels of usage. At a certain level of use, the bulk of the population has been accounted
for and only outliers appear beyond that point. Although these outliers have a significant effect
on the plan. they do not define the main usage characteristics of the plan's participants.

Graphs WC-3 and WC-4 below compare incurred costs to paid costs and paid-on cases to no-
dollar-paid cases. The low level of dollars paid out, as reflected in Graph We-3 is reflective of
the time-sensitive nature of Workers' Compensation claims. The incurred cost is an estimation
uf the total expenses and benefits to be paid out on claims. However, benefit costs (impairment
: ncome and temporary lllcome) are distributed over time whereas most medical and
administratl\ e expenses are paid relatively quickly

Inaarred Cost and Claims Maturation
Graphs WC-3 and WC-4, shown above, represent dollars paid during the first nine months of
each year for claims filed during the same time frame for each year. However, since many
claims are not closed immediately, at any given time the City will be paying for claims filed
months or years previous. Graph WC-5 below reports the amount of money paid out during the
first three quarters of Fiscal Year 2006 for claims which were filed in previous years. As might
he expected, the largest expense is attributed to claims filed in the immediate previous year.

strains are the most common type of injury sustained. Sprains, lacerations and contusions are
other frequent injury types. Two new types of injuries have been added to the graph for Fiscal

Severity Reoort
During the first three months of FIscal "{ear 2006, one workers' compensation claim was filed
which reached this report's threshold of $50,000 incurred. By the end of the second quarter,
another claim had reached that threshold. This new claim is associated with a Solid Waste
employee who fell from a piece of equipment and injured his back and shoulder. There were no
additional severe claims filed during the third quarter of the year (as valued at the end of that
13
4uarter). Table WC-6 provldes a comparison from year to year of the number of severe cases
flied with Workers' Compensation.

2003 and will continue in FY 2003-2004 with Phase IV of the Plan in FY 2005-2006;
The City of Corpus Christi's goal is to reach 100% of competitive labor market rate for like positions
with a phased-in approach, as guided by annual surveys.
II. Phase I Implementation in FY 2002-2003
In FY 2002-2003, the new Compensation and Classification Plan was implemented. Most
employees received a pay increase based on a pay range in each pay plan that was adjusted to
reflect a mid-point pay level that was approximately 90% of the competitive labor market rate. In
the transition in FY 2002-2003 of employees into the new Pay Plans, 86% of the implementation
dollars went to Non-exempt (overtime eligible) employees largely due to bringing eligible employees
up to the minimum of the new pay plan ranges. Other employees received pay adjustments
ranging from 1 % to 2.3% based on a combination of longevity and location of their pay in the new
ranges at time of transition
III. Phase II Implementation in FY 2003-2004
Effective July 28, 2003, all Pay Plan Structures in Sec. 39-303 ofthe City of Corpus Christi's Code
of Ordinances received a 3% increase to pay range minimums and midpoints to adjust the structure
from 90% to 93% of market, and a 2% increase to maximums needed to maintain market at 100%.
Employees in those Pay Plans were granted a 3% pay increase, except for employees at the
maximums of their pay ranges who received a 2% pay increase and remained at the maximum of
the range as a result of the increases.
Effective December 1, 2003, all Pay Plan Structures in Sec. 39-303 received a 2% increase to pay
range minimums and midpoints to adjust the structure from 90% to 93% of market, and 0%
increase to maximums that were adjusted to 100% of market effective July 28, 2003. Employees in
those Pay Plans were granted a 2% pay increase, except for employees who had reached the
maximums of their pay ranges and had been at 100% of market since July 28, 2003.
IV. Phase III Implementation in FY 2004-2005
Effective July 26,2004, a 3% pay increase was concurrently implemented as follows:
(1) granted to employees assigned to Pay Plan Structures in Section 39-303 of the City's Code
of Ordinances. and
(2) granted to minimums and maximums of pay structure ranges to all Pay Plans in Section 39-
303.
This increase was applied to Council Appointed Positions.
V. Phase IV Implementation in FY 2005-2006
Effective August 8,2005, (1) non-exempt employees in Pay Plan 100 Skill Based Pay System and
Pay Plan 900 Non-Exempt (Overtime Eligible) in Section 39-303 of the City's Code of Ordinances,
were granted a 2.25% pay increase, and (2) pay structure range minimums and maximums in the
pay plans described above, were adjusted by 2.25%, as well.
VI. Phase V Implementation in FY 2006-2007
There is no adjustment to the pay plan ranges being made with this fiscal year budget, although the
City continues to monitor its market position.
ViI. Other Issues with Pay and Benefits in FY 2006.2007
City insurance premiums for Public Safety and Citicare plans will remain constant for the plan year.

IX. Status of Skill-Based Pay Development and Implementation in FY 2004-2005:
A. Pilot Project for Skill-Based Pay (SBP) for Water Production Technician (0. N. Stevens
Water Plant) and Wastewater Treabnent Technician (Wastewater Treabnent Plants)
Skill-Based Pay Programs support reengineering and the development of multi-skilled workers
through rewarding employees who continuously learn and acquire increasingly complex core
skills required for a department to meet its business objectives.
The Skill-Based Pay (SBP) Pilot Project for Water Production Technician (0. N. Stevens Water
Plant) and Wastewater Treatment Technician (all Wastewater Treatment Plants) was
implemented on August 11, 2003. This Pilot effort provided opportunities to work through
problems and issues to successfully implement and track employees' development.
Approximately 90% of SBP training is received on the job.
Skill-Based Pay programs reward employees with compensation based on attainment of core
skills instead of position titles held. This type of compensation program supports re-engineering
through development of highly skilled workers to operate complex facilities, such as the O.N.
Stevens Water Plant and the multiple Wastewater Plants in Corpus Christi. Employee
compensation is based on attainment of proficiency on sets of skills and meeting other pay
advancement criteria, e.g. "Meets Expectations" Performance Evaluation and no disciplinary
actions in specified time period Pay advancements are automatic upon the employee
completing all requirements.
The Work Management System (MAXIMa) used by the Water and Wastewater Departments is
being interfaced with the PeopleS oft Training Module in the City's Human Resources/Payroll
System. Work Coordinators (supervisors), Planner/Schedulers, and Skill-Based Pay
Coordinators work closely with employees and each other to ensure that training opportunities
on required skills will be available. Computerized reports that track on-the-job training progress
through Work Orders will facilitate administration of the Skill-Based Pay Program.
The City of Corpus Christi's Skill-Based Pay Programs provide career opportunities for local
high school or GED graduates to enter a career path, such as a Water Production Technician,
Wastewater Treatment Plant Technician, or other titles that will result from continuation of skill-
based pay development. Skill-Based Pay offers competitive wages for being multi-skilled in a
complex area of City operations. In addition, the City's Pilot Skill-Based Pay System provides
for hiring applicants above minimum of the range with demonstrated skills and a valid TCEQ
license to operate a Water Production Plant or Wastewater Treatment Plant since skill
proficiency determines compensation in a skill-based compensation plan.
Effective June 28, 2004, the Water Distribution Technician, Wastewater Collections technician
and Water Supply Technician were rolled into the SBP program.
B. Metro-Com Technician (Police/Fire/EMS Dispatchers) Implemented Effective April 19,
2004
With the pay check of April 19, 2004, the City of Corpus Christi's Police/Fire/EMS Dispatchers
were transitioned from their existing Pay Plan into SSP with the new title of Metro-Com
Technician.
D. SBP for Storm Water and Gas Departments
Effective February 7, 2005, the Gas Department went live on SSP with three tracks; Gas
Construction Technician, Gas Operations and Measurement Technician, and Gas Service
Maintenance Technician. The Storm Water Department went live with one track, Storm Water
M&O Technician.
E. Planned SBP Implementations in FY 2006-2007
Departments scheduled for SSP in FY 2006-2007 include: Park Maintenance, Streets and
Solid Waste Services.

TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Chapter 39, PERSONNEL, Article III. Employee Compensation and Classification
System of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Corpus Christi, Texas, Sections 39-300, is
amended to read as follows
ARTICLE III. EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION AND CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM
Sec. 39-300. Policy.
In 2002, the city completed a comprehensive review of its employment system, which had not
been thoroughly reviewed in decades. The existing system had developed substantial internal
inequalities among classifications, and the pay and benefits structure was competitively
inadequate in many areas. A consultant was hired to assist the city in developing a new system
which would be internally consistent and would make the city competitive in the jOb market. The
consultant, in consultation with a city staff committee, conducted market and comparative
studies and developed a phase-in implementation plan. The city council adopted the first phase
of the plan in its 2002 budget It is the policy of the city, consistent with sound budgetary
management, to complete the phased plan and thereafter to continuously manage the
comoensation and classification system to maintain internal equity and to attract and retain
competent employees in the market The City Manager is directed to manage the personnel
system to achieve these goals.

"f. Public Agency for Resale Untreated Water Rates
"The rates for the purchase of untreated water purchased by a public
agency, which does not have a raw water supply contract with the City
executed after January 1,1997, is the average of the monthly raw water
cost adjustments, established under subsection (b) of this section, for the
period used to determine the composite cost of untreated water under the
City's current contract with the public agency.
"(b) Raw water cost adjustment (RWCA).
"In addition to the charges for the base rates for water service, established in subsection
(a) of this section, a separate charge for the costs of raw water, the RWCA, will be
added to each consume(s bill, except Public Agency for Resale Untreated Water
customers without a raw water supply contract executed after January 1, 1997. (A
Public Agency for Resale Untreated Water customer without a raw water supply
contract executed after January 1, 1997, will pay the lower of the composite cost, as
defined in its contract with the City or the rate for Public Agency for Resale Untreated
Utility rate. doc
10
Water customers without a raw water supply contract executed after January 1, 1997,
specified in subsection (a)(2)f. of this section.) The RWCA will be based on projected
system-wide raw water sales. The RWCA will be calculated on an annual basis
according to the following procedures.
"( 1) Use projected system-wide water sales based on historical consumption and
projected growth
"(2) Include the annual budgeted cost of debt service. Bond payments,
amortization of deferred losses on refundings, and other debt service costs shall
be applied to the RWCA in the same proportion as the raw water activities
proportion of the original bond proceeds.
"(3) Include budgeted expenditures for purchases of water.
"(4) Include purchases of water rights, amortized over the duration of the water
right agreement.
"(5) Budgeted expenditures for capital items shall be included as follows:
"a. The expense of acquiring a capital item that cost not more than
$100,000 shall be charged in the year in which it is acquired.
"b. The expense of acquiring a capital item that cost more than $100,000
shall be amortized over the number of years used to calculate
depreciation expenses, with the half-year convention used in the year of
acquisition.
"(6) All operating and maintenance expenditures shall be charged based on
annual budgeted amounts. These expenditures include operation and
maintenance of dams, reservoirs, pipelines, wells, pumping stations, and related
interfund charges.
"(7) All expenses for consultants, engineering, legal services, and administration
shall be charged based on annual budgeted amounts in the proportion to which
they apply to raw water issues.
"(8) Expenses related to the acquisition and transportation of emergency water
supplies shall be included in the RWCA for the following fiscal year, unless
foreseen and budgeted in advance, in which case they are included in the year
budgeted.
"(9) Miscellaneous revenues related to raw water activity, such as oil and gas
lease revenues and interest eamed on debt service surety bonds, is applied as
an offset based on annual budgeted amounts.
"(10) At fiscal year end, determine the amount of over or under collections that have
resutted from differences between budgeted and actual expenses and_offsetting
utility rate. doc
11
revenues and the difference between projected and actual volume of water sold. Use of
overeollectlons to create and maintain a reserve to level out lame fluctuations in raw
.ter charaes is authorized. Apply ~ any remainina amount as an adjustment to the
following fiscal year's RWCA. .
"(11) Apply the credit for levelized Choke Canyon debt payments to City rate-
payers' projected water consumption, and deduct from their RWCA. (The
escalating payment schedule on the Choke Canyon debt was levelized through
the creation of a reserve fund. In the initial years, payments greater than the
debt service were made, with the excess going into the reserve fund. This
excess was paid through a rate surcharge on ICl and DCl metered treated
water customers, Now that bond payments exceed the levelized payment
amount, the reserve fund is drawn on to make up the difference. Since only ICl
and DCl metered treated water customers participated in building the reserve
fund, the drawing on the reserve fund is only credited to the RWCA assessed
against ICl and Del metered treated water customers.
"(c) Definitions.

conserving, and transporting untreated water from its source to the City's
treatment facility and all other points of diversion. These costs include, but are

"(b) The amount of water used to compute the monthly bills to one family residential
customers shall be computed on the basis of the "winter average" or "interim average"
that is calculated under this subsection.
(1) Definitions
a. Winter Averaging Wastewater Charge Period -- the
period of water and wastewater service during the three
complete consecutive reading periods commencing on or
after December 1 of each year. Using the three complete
consecutive reading periods, the City shall establish monthly
wastewater service charges for customers based upon their
average monthly water consumption. The customer must
receive wastewater service at one location during the three
Utility rate.doc
22
consecutive reading periods in order to establish a "winter
average".
b. Winter Average - The monthly wastewater usage established
by the City of Corpus Christi during the "winter averaging
wastewater charge period". This usage is the basis for monthly
billings which apply to service before and including July 31 of each
year. Billings which apply to service after July 31 will reflect
wastewater usages based on the previous "winter averaging
wastewater charge period".
c. Interim Average - The monthly wastewater usage
established by the City for individual customers who have
not established a ''winter average". The "interim average"
shall be recalculated each year based on the total "winter
average" consumption of all customers subject to winter
averaging divided by the number of winter averaging
customers, and shall be the basis for monthly billings until a
"winter average" as defined in subsection (b)(1 )b. of this
section is established for the individual customer.
d. Service Area - the geographic region served by the
City's wastewater system.
(2) Winter Average Criteria
a. "Winter Average" charges shall apply to one-family
residential customers only.
b. The "winter average" shall be based on a customer's
average water consumption for three complete consecutive
reading periods commencing with the customer's first
reading period on or after December 1 of each year.
c. The following method will be used to calculate a
customer's "winter average".
1. Add the three winter months water
consumption to get total water consumption.
"2. Divide three month usage amount by 3 to
get winter average usage. Such winter
average usage shall be limited to a maximum
of 25,000 gallons.
"d. Using the winter average usage, apply the
applicable rates established in subsection (a) of this
section to calculate the customer's wastewater bill for
utility rate.doc
23
each month until a new average is established (or
rates are changed.
"e. New and Relocating Customers; Adjustments
"1. Customers new to the service area, who
have not established a "winter average", shall
be billed at the "interim average" rate.
"2. Customers who are relocating within the
service area, who established a "winter
average" at their previous address, shall be
billed at the "interim average" rate or their
"winter average" rate at the previous address,
whichever is less.
"3. Customers who are relocating within the
service, area, who have not established a
"winter average" at their previous address,
shall be billed at the "interim average" rate.
"4. When a customer experiences a
substantial increase in water or wastewater
usage from hidden water leaks in the plumbing
system during the winter average charge
period, and if the customer can produce proof
of repairs, the Director of Finance or the
Directors designee may adjust the wastewater
bill
"(3) Administrative change in rates.
"a. Annually the City Manager shall calculate base revenues
from single-family residential wastewater customers. Base
revenues shall equal a three-year moving average of actual
revenues from single-family residential wastewater
customers, with each year's revenue adjusted for all actual
rate increases, which were implemented in subsequent
years. For this purpose, a year shall run from-June 1
through May 31.
"b. The City Manager shall annually, based upon the Winter
Average wastewater usage determined during the Winter
Averaging Wastewater Charge Period, adjust the rate in the
new fiscal year applied to each customers winter average or
interim average so that the Adjusted Rate will produce an
amount equal to the base revenues.
utility rate.doc

"(c) The rates established in subsection (a) of this section are based upon water
consumption for wastewater service customers with wastewater characteristics of 562
parts per million or less by weight of chemical oxygen demand index, 250 parts per
mtllion or less by weight of biochemical oxygen demand index, and 250 parts per million
or less by weight of suspended solids index. If the wastewater characteristics exceed
any of these parameters shall pay an additional abnormal wastewater surcharges as
provided in Section 55-148."
