BACKGROUND INFORMATION
~JECT: Downtown Drainage Improvements, Phase 1
Part "A" Water Street New Interceptors and Inlets
(Project No. 2036)
.es;>JECT DESCRIPTION: This project involves construction of the Water S1. Interceptor,
an8' x 5' concrete box culvert that will transfer a portion of the stormwater runoff from the
uPfer end of the Power S1. Pump Station drainage basin into the drainage basin of the
Kiftney S1. Pump Station. The interceptor is a gravity system and has been constructed in
Wlter S1. from Williams S1. to Kinney S1. The construction is complete and this action is to
ralry testing services that were performed by Fugro Consultants during the construction
period.
In .ddition, five Intersections along Water St. that drain into the main storm sewer line
feeding the Power S1. Pump Station will be renovated to improve storm water flow capacity.
These improvements include for each intersection the renovation of two existing slot inlets,
a 34 foot wide companion grate inlet in the street in front of the slot inlets and replacement
of .terals as necessary to provide a minimum of 24" diameter from the inlet to the existing
storm sewer main
fII>.JECT BACKGROUND: The Downtown Drainage Improvements project was
deieloped to alleviate the major flooding that occurs in the downtown area during times of
hetvy rain. Major flooding occurred in 2002, reaching approximately EI. 5.8 in the Williams
S1. and Water S1. area. Top of curb there is approximately EI. 3.4. The downtown area is
divk:ted into two drainage basins, the Kinney S1. Pump Station Watershed and the Power
S1. Pump Station Watershed. Flooding in this area is attributed to the Water S1. area
dra4ning last because the Power S1. Pump Station, located north of IH-37, is overwhelmed
during a 100 Yr. flood. The objective in Phase 1 and Phase II of the Downtown Drainage
Improvements is to reduce the water elevation in Water S1. during a 100 Yr. flood to EI. 3.6
to keep it out of the buildings
This work is being coordinated with other projects being designed and constructed in the
downtown area, such as the Seawall Reconstruction Project and Major Outfalls
Rehabilitation Project Such coordination will include traffic control plans to minimize
inconvenience to the traveling public and area property owners.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
ENGINEERING SERVICES:
CoIItract 8-28 extended seven (7) months beyond the contracted time for completion. This
reqlJired the consultant to extend construction phase services and monitoring beyond the
original contract authorization. The additional fee for these services was partially offset
with liquidated damages which reduced payments made to the contractor.
The engineer also provided additional design services to accommodate modification and
redistribution of the traffic control plans for the project as a result of special events. These
ev.,ts included the 8uc Days parade, Velocity Games, Harbor Lights and other
unlCheduled events and public requests. This ratification authorizes payments for the
acMlitional work required to modify the original traffic control plan. The original traffic control
plan provided for a three phase implementation with a maximum of two switch overs. A

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Background:
Texas Department of Transportation has requested a speed zone change on
Staples Street (FM 2444). See Exhibit "B". The majority of FM 2444 from
Saratoga Blvd south to the city limits has business, residential or farmland
frontage. The Urban Transportation Plan classifies Staples Street as an A2
arterial from Saratoge to Oso Parkway and an A3 arterial from Oso Parkway to
SH 286 (Chapman Ranch Road).
Justification:
A speed study was completed by TxDOT and the 85 percentile speed is closer
to and warrants a change in speed limits as illustrated on Exhibit C. Exhibit 0
shows the current posted speed limit zones. Reducing the speed limit in the
proximity of Saratoga will help address some of the safety concerns with all the
traffic congestion in the area. Increasing the speed limit in the proximity of the
South 0$0 Parkway is not desirable and is not recommended because of the
potential for major accidents due to the current and future residential
development in the area.
Transportation Advisory Committee reviewed the request and voted
unanimously to recommend reducing the speed limit from 50 mph to 45 mph
near Saratoga and to leave the portion near South 0$0 Parkway at 50 mph.
Staff Recommendation:
Amend Code of Ordinances Section 53-254. Speed Limits; by lowering the
speed limit on FM 2444 from 50 MPH to 45 MPH from its intersection with the
Saratoga Blvd. to a point 0.383 miles south.
Leave the speed limit near South Oso Parkway at 50 mph.
Action:
Approve Staff recommendation as presented.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
SUQJeCT: Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History Fire Suppression System, Phase 2
(Bond Issue 2004)
PRCWECT DESCRIPTION: This project is the final phase of the wet pipe fire protection system
improvements for the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History. This construction contract
will provide for enhanced fire protection of the museum exhibits. The award of the base bid and
alternate #1 will expand the fire sprinkler system to all remaining building spaces for a total of
62,600 square feet The project includes new piping, sprinklers, ceiling modifications and
various wall penetrations.
~FORMATION: On September 27,2006, the City received proposals from three (3)
bidd*s. The project consists of a base bid and one additive alternate. The bids ranged as
follows:
BASE BID: $129,484 to $214,000
ADD AL T: $ 13,000 to $105.350
The AlE construction estimate is $168.479.
The elements of work for this project include:
· Base Bid: consists of all work required to provide fire sprinkler protection to the public
display areas not currently protected with a sprinkler system.
· Additive Alternate No.1: consists of all work required to provide fire sprinkler
protection to the administrative and mechanical spaces not currently protected with a
sprinkler system.
During the bid opening, the bid from Ranger Fire, Inc. was declared irregular due to the omission
of acknowledgment of one of the issued addendums. The City Council reserves the right to
waive irregularities and to accept the bid which, in the City's opinion, is most advantageous to
the City and in the best interest of the public. Due to the need of the City to protect the entire
museum from fire and not just the exhibits, it is recommended that the additive alternate be
awaftted at this time
~MMENDATION: City staff, and the City's AlE Consultant Patterson Engineering,
recothmend that based on low overall bid and past satisfactory experience that the irregularity be
waived and a construction contract be awarded to Ranger Fire, Inc. of Grapevine, Texas in the
amount of $165,000 for Museum Fire Suppression System, Phase 2 for the Base Bid and
Additive Alternate No, 1
~RACT TERMS: The contract specifies that the project will be completed in 120 calendar
days for the base bid and an additional 30 days for the additive alternate. Completion of this
project is anticipated by April 2007

ING: Funding for this project will come from the 2004 Bond Election, Museum CIP Fund
200 interest appropriations and remaining reserves from the 2000 Bond Issue Park &
Recreation/Museum Bond funds. The original 2000 Bond Issue Proposition #3 provided
$4,614,000 for improvements to several area parks and the Museum of Science and History. All
voter-approved projects for the 2000 Bond Election were completed and fund interest and
resewes were applied to a Phase Two program which provided for additional improvements to
the original locations. Upon the completion of all voter-approved projects, the remaining bond
proceeds and interest are available for additional park and museum projects. This project is
utilizing some of the final bond proceeds available.
AQQII'IONAL PROJECT INfORMATION: This project originally advertised for bids in the late
sumrtler 2005 timeframe and received bids on August 17, 2005. The bids were subsequently
rejeoted on September 9,2005 due to their being substantially over budget. The low base bid at
that time had been submitted by Ranger Fire, Inc. in the amount of $184,000. Since that time
city staff has worked closely with Patterson Engineering and the museum staff to identify ways
to reduce the cost of the project while still retaining the ability to extend the existing fire
suppression system throughout the remainder of the museum.
~GROUND INFORMATION (Bond Issue 2000) On Tuesday, November 7,2000, the
City Of Corpus Christi held an election to consider a number of ballot propositions to fund major
capitlll improvements for the community. The Bond Issue 2000 package included $30.8 million
in projects to be funded from ad valorem property taxes in Public Health and Safety, Parks and
Recreation/Museum, and Street Improvement projects. Proposition No. 3 included
imprevements to the Museum of Science and History.
Priorto the November 2000 bond election, the Museum of Science and History did not have an
adequate fire suppression system to protect the exhibits and minimize loss from fire. The original
phase one project consisted of the expansion of a newly installed fire suppression system
10catl8d in the then recently constructed Discovery Hall Addition. Other than the Discovery Hall
Exhibit, the remainder of the Museum did not have a fire sprinkler system.
~<lROUND INFORMATION (Bond Issue 2004): On Tuesday, November 2,2004, the
City 4f Corpus Christi held an election to consider a number of ballot propositions to fund major
capital improvements for the community, Bond Issue 2004. The November 2,2004 election was
held jointly with Nueces County and coincided with the Presidential Election.
The 80nd Issue 2004 package includes $95 million in projects to be funded from ad valorem
property taxes (a General Obligation Bond Issue) in Street, Public Health and Safety, Public
Faci.ies, Parks and Recreation, and Bayfront Master Plan projects. The proposed projects
target the City's most immediate needs to improve existing physical facilities, provide for growth,
and protect the City's investment in its infrastructure. The bond issue included funding for the
Fire Suppression System, Phase 2 to complete the project started in the 2000 Bond Election.

III'CKGROUND: Two major studies coinciding with Packery Channel have been
OIgoing with the project. Dr. Nicholas Kraus, in conjunction with faculty from Texas
AIM-Corpus Christi, has studied water movement within Packery Channel and
compared that water movement with the theoretical projected movement predicted in
the original design studies. HDRIShiner-Moseley, with Dr. Paul Montagna, was
hired jointly by the City and the Corps of Engineers to monitor the Mollie Beattie
ceastal habitat community adjacent to the Packery Channel to determine what
impact the opening of Packery Channel has on that area. The first reports from
these ongoing studies are now available and the Corps of Engineers has graciously
oIered to have a presentation made on the findings so far.
NIl Council Action is required at this time. The Mollie Beattie study will continue for
several more years under the existing contract and we are consulting with Dr. Kraus
alDout the continuation of his study.

j The subject property is currently developed with a single family residential unit. The zoning district in this
I pomon of the block of Wynd ale Drive is "R-IC" One-family Dwelling District. Because this property is
i part of a master planned full service marina which is approximately 95 per cent complete and has taken
lover three years to construct, a zone change to a multiple dwelling district at this location for a bed and
! breakfast use would be consistent with the economic development policies in the Comprehensive Plan.
I Policy Statement C III the Economic Development section of the Corpus Christi Policy Statements states:
i "Tourist-onented social and recreatIOnal facilities that are complementary to the natural amenities of the
I area should be encouraged... Waterfront activities that should be promoted include windsurfing, sailing,
r fishing, and swimmmg." The extenSIvely refurbished full service marina complex provides all of these

MEMORANDUM
TO: President Scott and Members of the Board of the CCHFC
FROM: George K. Noe, General Manager
DATE: October 13, 2006
SUBJECT: Request for Annual Meeting of the Corpus Christi Housing Finance
Corporation
I am requesting that the annual meeting of the Corpus Christi Housing Finance
Corporation (CCHFC) Board of Directors (the "Board") be held during the City Council
meeting of October 17, 2006, to consider two actions, as follows:
1. Election of officers: At the Corporation's annual meeting, the Corporation shall
elect officers. The position of President is currently held by Mark Scott and Vice
President is currently held by Bill Kelly. We would recommend that the
administrative officers of General Manager, Secretary, Assistant Secretary,
Treasurer, and Assistant Treasurer be reappointed.
2. Consider approval of a resolution authorizing the President to file an application for
reservation for qualified mortgage bond authority and authorizing the General
Manger to take such action as may be necessary and appropriate with regard to
such application.
The CCHFC has been active in providing mortgage assistance since 1980, which marked
the establishment of state law allowing such corporations. The Corpus Christi Housing
Finance Corporation ("CCHFC") was a trailblazer in offering Mortgage Credit Certificates
in Texas beginning in 1987. The Corpus Christi program was the first program in the state,
and it was the only program available for several years. Since then, other communities as
well as the Texas Housing Agency have offered MCC programs.
A Mortgage Credit Certificate (UMCC") is a federal tax credit that can be issued by the
COHFC. It authorizes a first-time home buyer to take a federal tax credit on his or her
fecleral income taxes equal to 25% of the mortgage interest paid on a home loan. The tax
credit is available each year that the home buyer occupies the residence. Since the
inception of the MCC program, over $106,000,000 in mortgage assistance has been made
available to more than 2,000 first-time home buyers in Corpus Christi through this tax
incentive and the efforts of the CCHFC.
The CCHFC has either operated its own MCC programs or administered MCC programs
for other entities on a continuous basis for 20 years. The most recent allocation received
for Corpus Christi ended on December 31, 2005, and the existing allocation being
administered on behalf of the Coastal Bend Housing Finance Corporation will end on
December 31, 2006. In order to apply for additional MCC authority in 2007, an Application
must be filed with the Texas Bond Review Board by October 20,2006. A lottery will then
be conducted to determine which allocations receive funding. The Application will be for
the sum of $21,742,000.00, which is the amount based upon the City's population
~
authorized under applicable federal tax laws. With an allocation ofthat size, approximately
275 home mortgages can be assisted with MCC tax credits.
Staff recommends adoption of a Resolution authorizing the submission of an Application to
the Texas Bond Review Board in order to obtain additional Mortgage Credit Certificate
authority

Red Light Camera Project Overview
- First installed in New York City in 1993.
- Twelve states and the District of Columbia have
enacted legislation allowing the use of red-light
cameras.
- In Nine states, including Texas, cameras are in
use in the absence of any specific state statute
authorizing or prohibiting them
- Four states have either banned or terminated
the program.
Red Light Camera Project Overview
- Richardson was the first Texas city to
establish a red-light camera pilot.
- The City of Garland became the first city to
install and run a permanent red-light
camera program in 2002.
- Currently, 28 Texas cities either operate,
plan to launch or are considering
establishing a red-light program.

Red Light Camera Project Overview
Legal Consideration
Red Light Camera Project Overview
Legal Authority
- Texas has no law that explicitly addresses the
use of red-flight cameras.
- An Attorney General opinion in February 2002
determined that Cities are allowed to use
cameras, but could not issue civil citations for
red-light violations.
- The opinion found that an ordinance creating a
civil penalty against the vehicle owner for red-
light violation, as evidenced by a photo,
conflicted with state law imposing a criminal
penalty for running a red light.
4
~..",.,..,.
Red Light Camera Project Overview
Legal Authority
- However the Attorney General further pointed
out that an" ordinance could be adopted by the
City if the legislature amended state law so as to
expressly permit it or otherwise eliminate the
conflict.
- September 2003, Texas Legislature ratified S8
1184 which amended Sec. 542.202 of the
Transportation Code.
- Amendment authorized municipalities to impose
civil penalties against the owner of a motor
vehicle for a violation of a municipal ordinance.
Red Light Camera Project Overview
Legal Authority Cont .
- In June 2006 the Attorney General ruled
that the use of red-light cameras is
allowed on state roads.
- The Texas Department of Transportation
was expected to draft an agreement by
August 2006 authorizing municipalities to
place cameras on state highways and
rights of way.
5
~,...."",,,,,.
Red Light Camera Project Overview
Legal Authority Cont.
- The Texas legislature has considered
legislation addressing red-light cameras in
all but one of the last six sessions.
- During the 79th legislature in 2005, two
bills that would have prohibited municipal
red-light cameras failed.

Red Light Camera Project Overview
Compatibility with Existing Street Infrastructure
- Two types of video detection systems-Loop or
Video-City is ONLY interested in Video Detection
Systems
- Accessible via City's network for emergency
response use-requires use of IP Cameras
- Compatible with existing video detection
equipment and must plug and play when
connected to traffic control equipment

Quality of Captured Images and
Streaming Video
- Any captured images should be reputable
enough to warrant citation issuance.
- 911 Dispatch must be able to access
streaming video via the City's network for
purposes of directing emergency response
personnel to accident sites.
Red Light Camera Project Overview
Public Safety Information
8
'-
Red Light Camera Project Overview
Nationwide Problem
- Each year, there are more than 1.8 million intersection
crashes.
- Over 90,000 accidents and more than 24,000 injuries
and fatalities per year.
- 55.8% of Americans admit to running red-lights.
- 96% of drivers fear they will get hit by a red light runner
when they enter an intersection.
Red Light Camera Project Overview
Causative Factor:
AGGRESSIVE DRIVING
- Red light violations
- Speeding (15+ miles over speed limit)
- Following too closely
- Excessive lane changes
(Speeding & Red light Violations
Represent the majority of citizens complaints)

Red Light Camera Project Overview
Enforcement Works
(STEP results)
- US Hwy 181-30% VS. 50% compliance
- Ocean Drive - 31% vs. 55.6% compliance
- Ennis Joslin - 20% VS. 53% compliance
- Saratoga 30% VS. 46% compliance
- IH37- 36.5% vs. 48.5% compliance
Red Light Camera Project Overview
Red light Violations are not
"enforcement friendly"
- Officer must see the red-light AND the violator entering
the intersection
- Violator is entering a "cross-traffic" situation
- Officer must enter this same dangerous cross-
traffic situation to initiate a stop
- Using t\NO officers is Inefficient and problematic in court

~""-'-
Red Light Camera Project Overview
Effective and Efficient Enforcement
- Red Light Cameras could be included in our Aggressive
Driving program
- Allows for increased speed, excessive lane change
enforcement
- Officers will still be involved in verifying the red light
violations
- Due process rights are preserved
