The Universal Little League has three fields: T -Ball, Minors and Majors. The current contract provides for upgrading lighting for the Minors field (as planned for one field under Bond 2004). The existing T -Ball field has adequate lighting. In the spring months last year, a few major storm events caused the existing Minors and Majors field lighting systems to completely fail. It was also noted that the storms caused the existing Majors field lighting poles to lean more severely, potentially jeopardizing the structural integrity of the poles and creating a safety hazard in the next few years. During design, the consultant/contractor team identified cost - effective measures to include strategic pole placement and sharing to light this additional field. The City Parks & Recreation and Engineering Services staffs successfully identified other cost - effective measures within the Sports Field Improvement Project to support the additional lighting for the Majors field PRO,,CT INFORMATION: The initial contract under the Texas Buy Board approved by the Council in December 2006 provides for the design services, lighting procurement and installation of lighting at the following parks and leagues: • Youth Sports Complex - Universal Little League • Youth Sports Complex - Westside Pony League • Price Park - Dick Runyan Field • Bill Witt Park - Padre Little League • Buccaneer Little League (Baldwin between Agnes and Beacon) • Southside Kickball League (McArdle between Weber & Everhart) • Botsford Park - Pop Warner Football League Other sports field improvement projects are planned, including a new concession stand, fencing, irrigation, parking lot improvements, and miscellaneous improvements.

Exhibit "A" Background Information 2. Exhibit "B" Site Map 3. Exhibit "C" Permit Application from the South Texas Celtic Music Association BACKGROUND INFORMATION Background: The South Texas Celtic Music Association is a non -profit organization that sponsors intemationai religious tolerance and understanding. The festival is bi- cultural and designed to promote the heritage of both Ireland and Mexico in South Texas. They plan to have a Catholic Mass to open the event and provide both Irish and Mexican food, drink and entertainment. The South Texas Celtic Music Association ( STCMA) is requesting to close Peoples Street between North Chaparral and North Water Street to accommodate the festival activities. Plans are to set up two (2) entertainment stages, one amplified, and one acoustic for non - amplified singing, dancing and story telling. Two or three food vendors will be allowed. Cassidy's will request permitting for a satellite bar for wine and beer which will be undertaken and managed by Cassidy's personnel. The STCMA has worked with the sponsors of the "Project Children" Foundation, which organized the South Texas Celtic Music Festival in the past. This widely acclaimed event raised funds to help bridge the sectarian gap between Northern Ireland Protestant and Cathofc youth. All funds that are raised from La Fiesta de San Patricio will be earmarked for the resumption of the Celtic Music Festival as well as the generation of local scholarships to deserving youth in the Corpus Christi community. The Fiesta de San Patricio will be subject to an admission fee of $5 for adults; military, seniors and students $4, and children 13 and under will be admitted free of charge. All adjacent property owners have been notified and will not be negatively affected by this ckure. All booths, tents, trash and equipment will be removed no later than 2:00 am March 18, 2007. Arrangements will be made with CCPD personnel to provide required security and to ensure decibel restrictions are adhered to in the proximity of the 'live" stage. ,Support of the Corpus Christi Diocese has been enlisted and is hoping to begin the Fiesta with an outdoor Catholic Mass to keep in the spirit of the Saint Patrick's Day heritage and its Irish Catholic legacy. As this is the inaugural event, the South Texas Celtic Music Association hopes to initiate City wide excitement and looks forward to many years of cooperative efforts with the City of Corpus Christi. In addition the STCMA respectfully requests waiver of the free admission requirement based on the favorable publicity and economic benefits this unique event will provide.

The STCMA, in conjunction with Les Cassidy, (proprietor of Cassidy's Irish pub), is very pleased to apply for the permits to organize, promote and manage a unique, bi- ethnic St. Patrick's Day event, `La Fiesta de Sari Patrick? ", which, based upon the best of our ability to ascertain, is not held anywhere else in the United States. it is our desire to promote a community wide understanding of the rich and historic association between the early South Texas Mexican Colonial aristocracy and the Irish Catholic settlers who were enticed to settle the Copano Bay area on behalf of the Mexican Government. For too long, this unique multi- cultural connection has been overlooked, and we feel that this event will be the springboard for celebration of this worldwide Irish feast day by the entire Corpus Christi community. We would also point to the obvious marketing implications that such a unique event will foster, and the benefits that city wide support can engender We feel that the initial success of the event can grow into a Saint Patrick's Day event that will have no equal anywhere else in the United States. The STCMA has been previously working with the sponsors of the "Project Children" Foundation, (another 501 -c -3 group), which organized the "South Texas Celtic Music Festival" in the past. This widely acclaimed event, that raised funds to help bridge the sectarian gap between Northern Ireland Protestant and Catholic youth, has been in hiatus for some years, and all funds that are raised from the "Fiesta" will be earmarked for the resumption of the Celtic Music Festival and for the generation of local scholarships to deserving youth in the Corpus Christi community We respectfully petition the City Management to allow the STCMA to hold our "Fiesta" on Saturday, the 1 7th of March. 2007, between the hours of 9:00 AM and 2:00 AM on Sunday, the 18th of March. Our request includes the base of Cassidy's Irish Pub and the adjacent area of Peoples Street, between North Chaparral and North Water Streets. The hours of the event will be from 10:30 AM on the 17th until 1:00 AM on the 18t_ the additional time being necessary for set up and tear down. Initially, our plans are to set up 2 entertainment stages, one amplified, and one acoustic for non - amplified singing, dancing and story telling. We plan to offer either 2 or 3 food vendors and will also request permitting for Cassidy's to set up a satellite bar for beer and wine within the event area. The sale of alcohol will be undertaken and managed by t:assidy`s personnel, and proper ID will be required to purchase beer and wine tickets, and required to be shown again at the vending area, which will be staffed by TABC certified bar backs. We also will be selling event mugs to minimize paper trash . our event will be subject to a surcharge of $5 for adults; military, senior and students at $4, and children under 1; admitted free. All profits will be allocated as detailed above. ? ,11 - P;_aza CHRis7 7X 7841 7 (_36 1) 960 -5087 As there are no active businesses along Peoples St. between Water and Chaparral, we envision no problems with any adjacent businesses. However we will make arrangements with CCPD personnel to ensure that decibel restrictions are adhered to in the proximity of the "live" stage. We have enlisted the support of the Corpus Christi Diocese, and are hoping to begin the "Fiesta" with an outdoor Catholic Mass to keep in the spirit of the Saint Patrick's Day heritage and its Irish Catholic legacy. Discussions with the Diocese representatives have been initiated, and they heartily endorse the project. We hope to enlist additional community backing and support as the event becomes more crystallized. Please feel free to contact either of the below listed Coordinators should you have any questions or comments regarding `La Fiesta de San Patricia ". As this is the inaugural event, we hope to initiate City wide excitement and look forward to many years of cooperative efforts with Corpus Christi City personnel and continued success that will favorably reflect upon all concerned.

The proposed ordinance mirrors action taken in the five original census tracts by offering a reduction in building permit and survey fees in the expanded census tracts.

The undeveloped ROW to be abandoned and vacated is located in an "F -R" Farm -Rural District. The undeveloped ROW to be abandoned is south of and adjacent to Victoria Park Unit 7 Subdivision, approximately 450 -feet southwest of the Oso Parkway street right -of -way.

All public and franchised utilities were contacted regarding this closure request and no objections were received by any of the utility companies.

Owner will also be dedicating public street rights -of -way of greater value with the San Cristobal at Terra Mar Subdivision, to off -set the proposed abandoning and vacating of public right -of -way.

Oik -.0-7?- Oscar R. Martinez Assistant City Manager Attachments: BACKGROUND INFORMATION Background On November 9, 2( t06, [CC filed with the PUC and all Cities in TCC's service territory an application to increase electric transmission and distribution ( "T &D ") revenues by $62.7 million or 7,0 The case has been assigned P1 !C Docket No 33309. TCC's application requests approval ofa $2 '_. million (23 1% increase over the Company's transmission revenues during the 12 -month test year period ending June 3C 2006 in addition, TCC is requesting a $41.7 million (10.7 %) increase over its test year distribution revenues. In combination with the proposed distribution rate increase, the Company's proposed elimination of two merger savings and rate reduction riders will increase Tt 's distribution revenues by a -otal of 15.8% The Company noticed a December 14, 2006 effective date. The electric T &D rates at issue are charged to the retail electric providers operating in Tt ( 's service territory who ultimately will pass on those charges to retail consumers, including municipal members of the South Texas Aggregation Project ( "STAP "). Consequently, any rate increase adopted in this case will adversely impact members of STAP, as well as residential ck ,nsumers.. businesses, an other municipal electric accounts served by TCC. oncurrently with the TCC filing, AEP Texas North Company ( "TNC ") also has filed an application seeking to increase its transmission and distribution revenues in PUC Docket No. 33310. These two rate filings have been consolidated for purposes ofa hearing, although separate orders will be issued n each case `The City, pursuant to § 33 >01 of the Public Utility Regulatory Act, has exclusive original jurisdiction over the electric rates charged by the Company. In accordance with that authority the City. on December i 2, 2006, suspended the effective date for 90 days giving the City time to evaluate the application Also in its suspension resolution, the City authorized joining with other cities to investigate the Company' s rates, and retained the law firm of Lloyd Gosselink Blevins Rochelle & Townsend of Austin, Texas Thus far, eighty -two (82) cities have joined together to suspend the rates and ro inter\ene in the case at the PVC Consultants were hired to review various aspects of the Company's request All reasonable consulting and legal fees are, by law, reimbursable by the C otnparsy On March € 3, 200', Cities representatives will be filing at the PUC the testimony of expert w itnesses A hearing is scheduled to begin at the PUC on April 12, 2007. A summary of the preliminary recommendations of the Cities" consultants regarding TCC's rate increase application is reflected below. Cong,ltant Recommendations Based on the analysis conducted to date, Cities' consultants have determined that TCC's proposed T &D revenues should be reduced by approximately $61.5 million. Discovery is still continuing, and the Cities' consultants will refine their recommendations prior to finalizing and filing their testimony however, the recommended reduction to TCC's base revenue requirements presented for adoption by the City is well- supported by the findings to date by Cities' consultants and is expected to reasonably reflect the Cities' final position when testimony is filed on March 13. Cities have assembled a tean7 0 °' experts with vast regulatory experience. Each is highly ,lualified to evaluate the assigned issues All of Cities' consultants understand that this is an Important case in determining whether electric charges in TCC's service area can be controlled at a reasonable level or whether they will be allowed to continue to increase year by year as they have . nie retail ,:ompetition was introduced in 2002 The Cities' consultants have made the following preliminary findings Distribution Revenues. T( C has claimed a distribution base rate revenue deficiency of approximately $40.5 million. However. Cities' consultants have identified certain reasonable adjustments to TCC s proposed rate base, revenues, operating expenses, and return on equity, that together total $47 6 million After these adjustments are applied, TCC's existing distribution base ates produce an annual revenue surplus of $7 15 million. Accordingly, Cities' consultants are ecommending such a reduction to TCC's distribution revenues. Transmission Revenues. T( `C has also claimed a transmission base rate revenue deficiency �f approximately $20 6 million. However, Cities' consultants have identified a number ofreasonable adjustments to the Company s transmission rate base, revenues, expenses, and return on equity, that total $13 9 million These recommended adjustments have the effect of reducing TCC's claimed transmission revenue deficiency from $20 6 million to $6 7 million. The Cities' consultants recommend a transmission rate increase in the amount of $6,729,000. The combined result of Cities' r ecommended adjustments would be to reduce TCC's proposed revenues for transmission and distribution service by approximately $61.6 million and Thereby virtually eliminate the overall increase proposed by TCC The net effect of Cities' adjustments would be a $6.7 million (7.4 %) increase to TCC's test year transmission revenues and a S7 15 million (1.8 %) decrease to the Company's test year distribution revenues. The Cities' consultants are also evaluating TCC's proposed class cost allocation and rate design and will be opposing certain new proposed riders that would allow the Company to automatically flow - through future costs of energy efficiency and advanced metering without filing a new base rate case Recommendation The electric rate ordinance adopts the Cities consultants' preliminary recommendation that FCC's proposed revenues for transmission and distribution service should be denied. Similar rate ordinances are being considered and adopted by the other participating Cities. Failure to take action on TCC's application by March 14, 2007 would allow TCC, under the Public Utility Regulatory Act, to implement the Company's proposed rates. It is recommended that the proposed rate Ordinance be adopted. ORDINANCE. NO.
