Grant award document
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The City of Corpus Christi has received Year 7 funding from the Texas Automobile Theft Prevention
Authority (ATPA) to continue the motor vehicle theft unit in the Police Department. The ATPA was
established in 1991 due to rising auto thefts and is funded through an annual $1 fee on every insured
vehicle in Texas charged to insurance companies who provide vehicle insurance coverage in Texas.
The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts collects the fee.
The unit focuses not only on detection and apprehension, but also on the salvage yards in the
City and County to reduce the sale of stolen vehicles and parts. There is an extensive public
awareness campaign that is a requirement of the grant; this has included a resurgence of the
Operation HEAT program as well as other crime prevention programs focusing on reducing auto
thefts. Since the inception of the unit, auto thefts have decreased by 40%.
The grant provides X45,'182 for one Lieutenant to supervise the Unit, two sworn CCPD officers,
one civilian Crime Analyst, one civilian Management Assistant, and one Staff Assistant to assist
with data entry of auto theft crime information. The three civilians conduct data analysis, crime
analysis, manage the required public a wareness campaign, and maintain grant paperwork. Cash,
in -kind, and program income contributions in the amount of $275,865 include office supplies,
copy machine, and salaries/fringe benefits for three General Fund sworn officers assigned to
work with the Task Force.
Because these funds are neither Federal nor State but from an insurance fee, there is no set
time limit for the grant to end; other grantees have been continuously funded for 10 years. The
City must reapply each year because the ATPA requires a very close review of performance and
the grantee's ability to utilize the funds efficiently.

This date, extensive work to the ductwork at Ben Garza Gymnasium, as well as the
replacement of the HVAC systems at both Ben Garza Gymnasium and Joe Garza
Recreation Center is recommended due to the age and condition of the systems. Once a
specific design plan has been completed, the job will be awarded to an approved
contractor as per City purchasing policy.
Ben Garza Gymnasium, a Parks and Recreation Department facility, is a recognized and
vital community center and provides programs for youth and adults of all ages. It was used
as a Refuge of Last Resort for Hurricane Katrina victims in 2005, and has been used at
other times in the past as a Red cross shelter, most notably in 2002 after a tornado struck
in the West Oso area, leaving residents in an area apartment complex rithout housing.
One of five (5) of the Department's 5 recreation centers, Joe Garza Recreation Center has
an active schedule of programs and special events. A Teen center was established
through community involvement and has focused on providing options for healthy teen
activities. The Strings Program is an arts program funded 100% by the Lichenstein
Foundation. classical instruments, music, and instruction are provided to youth who night
not otherwise be able to experience it. Rehearsals and concerts for the program are held

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
Qit Council Action Date: : July 24, 2007
SUBJECT: Greenwood Lindale Senior Centers HVAC Replacement (CDBG) (Project
No. 3320); Joe Garza Recreation Center HVAC Replacement (Project No.
4342)
AGENDA ITEM: Motion authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to award a job order
construction contract to Alpha Building Company of Corpus Christi, Texas, in the amount of
$199,448.01 for the Greenwood Senior Center (CDBG), Lindale Senior center (CDBG)
and Joe Garza Recreation Center HVAC Replacement Projects.
ISSUE: The HVAC units at the Greenwood Senior Citizen Center (40 40 Greenwood),
Lindale Senior Citizen Center (3135 Swanter) and Joe Garza Recreation Center (3204
Highland) are unreliable. Some units have failed and cannot be repaired. The remaining
units are unable to maintain comfortable temperatures during normal summertime
temperatures. All of the units are at the end of their economic life.
The GreenwoodiLindale Senior Centers and Joe Garza Recreation Center are heavily
used by citizens in the neighborhood. Alternative facilities are not readily accessible to
these citizens or are at capacity. Failure to replacement the units will result in the eventual
complete failure of the HVAC units at the Centers.
FUNDING: Funding is available from the FY 2005 Community Development Block Grant
Program and the Park and Recreation Department Annual Budget.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the motion as presented.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
SUBJECT: Greenwood Lindale Senior Centers HVAC Replacement (CDBG) (Project
No. 3320); Joe Garza Recreation Center HVAC Replacement (Project No.
4342)
PROJECT ECT ACKG O I D: The project consists of HVAC replacement at the following
facilities:
• Greenwood Senior Center;
• Lindale Senior Center; and
• Joe Garza Recreation Center.
PROJECT ECT QSCRIPTION: The proposed project consists of the replacement of two (2) air
handling units and three (3) associated condensing units each at the Greenwood and
Lindale Senior Citizen Centers, minor modifications to electrical overcurrent protection to
accommodate the new condensing units, disconnecting and reconnecting of ductwork,
refrigeration piping, electrical feeders and accessory apparatus and protective coatings.
Joe Garza Recreation Center provides for the replacement of three (3) packaged rooftop
units, new roof curbs and ductwork, replacement of ductwork and insulation adjacent to
units exposed above the roof, disconnecting, extending and reconnecting of associated
electrical feeders. Asbestos abatement is required at Joe Garza Recreation Center for the
demolition of existing equipment and ductwork. Abatement will be undertaken by Texas
Department of Health licensed personnel in accordance with the asbestos abatement plan.
AWARD INFORMATION: The project is recommended for a ward through to Alpha
Building Corporation through a Job Order Contract. Job Order Contracting (JOC) is an
innovative contracting technique created for facilities maintenance and construction - related
services to assist with obtaining greater contractor performance in relation to smaller
projects on a cost - effective and timely basis. The JOC Program utilizes an "on-call"
general construction contractor on an as- needed basis for an Indefinite Quantity Contract
to perform minor construction, repair, rehabilitation or alteration of facilities.
On January 3, 2007, the City of Corpus Christi issued an RFP (2007-01) for JOC
contractors. This enabled the City of Corpus Christi to more effectively target local
contractors, including minority /minority iinority business enterprises and HUB contractors. It also
avoided the pass - through fees associated with the TCPN.
Six contractors submitted proposals; however, one proposal was received late and was
returned unopened. After evaluation by staff and the selection committee, it was
recommended to pursue JOC contracts with two contractors:
1. Alpha Building Corporation, San Antonio, Texas with a local office at 6300
Ocean Drive, Corpus Christi, Texas, 78412, and
2. Nuway International Inc., 2621 Holly Road, Corpus Christi, Texas, 78415

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
City Council Action Dade; 7124107
AGENDA ITEM: An ordinance amending the Code of Ordinances Chapter 57
Vehicles for hire, to allow for a two year driver's permit and corresponding fee and
to amend the sliding scale for rates of fare based on fuel price; providing for
severance; providing for publication; and declaring an emergency.
ISSUE: The ordinance requires updating so that the fare calculation may better take
into consideration the increase in gasoline prices and to allow for a two year driver's
permit to decrease administrative costs experienced with yearly renewals.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Passing of the ordinance.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: Ordinance section last updated in 2005.
FUNDING: No funding is involved.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: Staffrecommends passing of the ordinance.
Bryan P. Smith
Chief of Police
Attachments:
• Ordinance
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The City of Corpus Christi presently issues permits annually for taxi-cab drivers. This
can be a time consuming process for the taxi -cab inspector as each driver's permit
renewal gets reviewed and re- issued. Moving to a two year permit will save time and
effort in the administration functions of the inspector and the police department and
allow the inspector to be more pro-active with field inspections and ordinance
enforcement. The permit fee would change accordingly, from $2Q for a one year permit
to $40 for a two year permit.
The present method of calculating the fare amount based on fuel price has not
accurately accounted for the increased overhead experienced by taxi -cab companies.
The proposed changes include removing the fuel service charge of .25 cents per fare.
The original drop charge of $2.25 is put back on the meter and the .25 cents is then re-

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
City Council Action Date: July 24, 2007
AGENDA ITEM: Motion authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement between the City of
Corpus Christi and Meyers & Associates for governmental relations services.
ISSUE The City of Corpus Christi has utilized the Washington -based governmental relations services of
Meyers and Associates for many years with outstanding results for the City. The Meyers firm is headed
by Mr. Larry Meyers and Mr. Rick Meyers together with a number of associates. It is viewed as one of
the most successful governmental relations firms in Washington. As a direct result of their past
successes, the Meyers firm has an impressive list of clients. Of special note for the City of Corpus Christi
is the fact that Meyers and Associates is the Washington governmental relations firm for the Texas A&M
System and has been especially productive in assisting Texas A&M — Corpus Christi.
A major city the size of Corpus Christi (and most cities of 50,000 or more) finds it extremely beneficial to
have governmental relations firms represent them in Washington, DC. Staff does not believe that we
could find any firm that could represent the City of Corpus Christi on any higher level than Meyers and
Associates. For many years, Meyers and Associates has consistently provided the City with very
effective representation in Washington on a multitude of issues.
The proposed contract for the period of August 1, 2007 — July 31, 2008, is virtually identical to the last
contract with the firm. We believe it is important to point out that Meyers and Associates monthly fee of
$,10 plus reasonable associated out -of- pocket expenses has remained constant for the last eight years
and we feel that it is an extremely reasonable fee.
FUNDING: The funding for the contract, which is subject to appropriation each year and may be
terminated by the City Manager at any time, is proposed to be expensed at 33 1/3% from the General
Fund and 66 2/3% from the Water Fund.
REQUIRED CITY COUNCIL ACTION: A contract of this type and amount requires City Council
approval.
RECOMMENDATION: City staff believes that it i

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION
SUBJECT: Amending Development Services Fees
BACKGROUND: The City of Corpus Christi has been striving to improve service and the
development process. The primary focus of the improvements has been centered on
providing customers with a timely, predictable, reliable and consistent development
process.
Stakeholders and staff have worked together to identify priorities and create a work
program that includes changes to current business processes, the customer service
culture, project management, updating the development codes, online services, physical
space enhancements, performance measurement, and the organizational structure.
It has been clear throughout the work program effort that having appropriate staffing
resources and tools to perform the workload activities is essential to meeting the
customer's expectations. Understanding the cost of providing services and the appropriate
allocation of staffing resources based upon the workload mix is crucial for success. As a
result, a Cost -of- Service Study and Fee Analysis was undertaken to calculate the current
system demand. Based on preliminary information gathered to date, current resources and
staffing do not meet current demand and as a result, predictability, customer service, and
communication have suffered.
The city of Corpus Christi entered into agreement with Horizon Centre, Inc.
(Consultant) to assist in the development review system assessment. One of the major
issues was that of available funding for a proper allocation of staff resources. With the
consultant's guidance, a Staff Action Team compiled all assessed fees within the
Development Services. In June 2006, the Cost of Service Study was submitted by Horizon
Centre, Inc. Preliminary information submitted reflected a large revenue deficiency.
In January 2007, staff started discussion of the first grouping of fees with the
Development Services Advisory Group (DSAG). Staff then reconvened with the Staff
Action Team to review and update the Cost of Service Study. In May 2007 DSAG
approved recommendation of Group 1 fee increases, which are included in the Proposed
2007 -2008 Budget. In June 2007, DSAG approved recommendation of Group 2 fee
increases, which increase or establish fees related to Neighborhood dock Parties, Plat
Variances, Street and Alley Closures, Easement Abandonment or Closure, Lease
Agreements, Participation Agreements, and Reimbursement Agreements.

with adjacency to Up River Road. The property was annexed into the City during the 1960s and
zoned with the "R-1B" One- Family Dwelling District designation. At the time of annexation, the
"R -1 B" District was assigned to annexed property as a method to control high density development

their land development plans. Such proposed development plans are reviewed with staff as to
compatible land use adjacency, the comprehensive plan recommendation, future road construction
and available infrastructure.

the "B -1" Neighborhood Business District. The proposed building will be approximately 19,000
square feet with 75 parking spaces.

"R-1B" One Family Dwelling District and proposed as "AB" Professional Office (Zoning Case 0507-

site. The applicant is also rezoning the property to the south, Zoning Case 0507-10, from a "R-1B"

Applicant is requesting a change of zoning to "B -1" Neighborhood Business District on 1.93
acres with adjacency to Up River Road. The property was annexed into the City during the
1960s and zoned with the "R-1B" One-Family Dwelling District designation. At the time of
annexation, the "R -1 B" District was assigned to annexed property as a method to control
high density development until owners of such properties are prepared to submit a change of
zoning that will accommodate their land development plans. Such proposed development
plans are reviewed with staff as to compatible land use adjacency, the comprehensive plan
recommendation, future road construction and available infrastructure.
• The applicant is proposing professional offices and other neighborhood business uses
allowed within the "B-1" Neighborhood Business District. The proposed building will be
approximately 19,000 square feet with 75 parking spaces.

currently "R-1B" One Family Dwelling District and proposed as "AB" Professional Office

building is proposed for this site. The applicant is also rezoning the property to the south,
Zoning Case 0507-10 from a "R-1B" one - Family Dwelling District to "R-1C" C" Dne Family
Dwelling District. The attached preliminary plat identifies the location of these zone change
requests.
Along McKinzie ie Road and 11-1-37 Access Road west and northwest of the subject property is

development. North and south of the subject property is vacant land zoned "R-1B" One-
Family Dwelling District that primarily provides for single - family development
Access for the subject property is provided from Up River Road, a collector that connects
directly to McKenzie Road, an arterial roadway.
This proposed "13-1" Neighborhood Business District between the higher intensity "B-4"

PUBLIC HEARING II — ZONING (City Council Action Date: July 10, 2007)
Case No. 0507-10 Extreme Homes of T xas LL C: A change of zoning from a "R-1B" Or e- Family Dwelling
District to a "R-1C" " One- Family Dwelling District, on property described as 2630 acres out of 3 5.75 acre tract
recorded by deed in Volume 1450, Page 535, Nueces County, Texas Deed Records, located on the south side of
Up River Road approximately 750 feet from the intersection of McKinzie Road.
Planning_ Commission & Staff Recommendation (May 30, 2007): Approval of a "R-11C" one - Family
Dwelling District.
Re' nested Council Action: Approval of a "R-1C" One-Family Dwelling District.
Background:
• Staff was notified via telephone by the applicant and Tuloso- Midway Independent School
District's (ISD) Superintendent that an agreement to support the "R-1C" District was not reached.
The applicant is requesting tabling of the case at the City Council meeting of July 10, 2007. The
applicant is requesting the "R-1C" District allowing for single - family development on lots not
less than 4,500 square feet. Tuloso - Midway ISD prefers the development of single- family homes
on lots with a minimum area of 6,000 square feet, which the existing "R-1B" District provides.
Summary:
• Request: The applicant is requesting a change of zoning from a "R-1B" One-Family Dwelling
District to a "R-1C" C" One- Family Dwelling District, to create lots less than 6,000 square feet on
26.50 acres. The proposed Maple Hills Subdivision is planned to exceed the minimum "R-1C"
lot size requirement of 4,500 square feet with lots that will average over 5,000 square feet per lot.
• Zoning: The purpose of the "R-1C" C" District is to provide for single - family residential
development together with such public buildings, schools, churches, public recreational facilities
and accessory uses, as may be necessary or are normally compatible with residential
surroundings. In Article 24 of the Zoning Ordinance, the "R-1C" District requires a minimum lot
size of , 00 square feet, with a maximum density of 9.68 dwelling units per acre. The minimum
front yard setback is twenty (20) feet with five foot side and rear yards. The maximum height
of dwellings may be twenty -six (26) feet. Each lot in the "R-1C" District must contain at least
forty -five (45) feet of frontage. The open space requirement is 30% of the total lot area. The
preliminary plat for the development indicates 151 single - family residential lots are planned for
the site.
• The purpose of the "R-1B" District is to provide for single-family residential development of
moderately spacious character. The "R-1B" District requires a minimum of 6,000 square foot
lots, with a maximum density of 7.26 units per acre. The minimum front yard setback is twenty-
five (25) feet with five foot side and rear yards. The required yard open space is 30 percent of
the total lot area. The 26.50 acre subject site could accommodate a maximum of 192 single -
family residential lots.
• In addition, the applicant is also rezoning the property to the north from a "R-1B" " One - Family
Dwelling District to a "13-1" Neighborhood Business District (Zoning Case 0507-01.) This case
has been tabled until the City Council meeting of July 24, 2007. On June 12, 2007, City Council
approved the zone change request for another piece of property to the north from a
"R-1B" " One- Family Dwelling District to a "AB" Professional Office District (Zoning Case 02.) The attached preliminary plat identifies the location of these zone change requests.
Agenda Memorandum
Case No 0507-10 (Extreme Homes of Texas, LLC)
Page 2
• Existing Land Uses: The subject property is currently vacant. The density with the proposed
zoning change will increase from 7.26 dwelling units per acre to 9.68 dwelling units per acre for a
potential of 256 lots on a 26.50 acre property. The land uses to the north, west, and south are also
vacant. To the east is residential with Maple Hills Subdivision Unit 4 and vacant land.
• Utilities: An 8" water line and an 8" wastewater line are available to the property as extensions
from Maple Hills Unit 4 to the east.
• Transportation: Based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual, the
potential traffic generated with single - family lots at the maximum "R-1C" density is
approximately 2,450 vehicle trip ends per day, compared to 1,837 vehicle trips with the current
"R-1B" zoning. The preliminary plat proposes 151 single family lots, which is less than the
density the "R-1.C" District allows. The potential traffic generated for this property with 151 lots

Staff's Summary
• Background: Staff was notified via telephone by the applicant and Tuloso - Midway
Independent School District's (ISD) Superintendent that an agreement to support the
"R-1C" District was not reached. The applicant is requesting the "R-1C" District
allowing for single- family development on lots not less than 4,500 square feet. Tuloso-
Midway ISD prefers the development of single- family homes on lots with a minimum
area of 6,000 square feet, which the existing "R-1B" District provides.
• Request: The applicant is requesting a change of zoning from a "R -1 B" One - Family
Dwelling District to a "R-1C" One - Family Dwelling District, to create lots less than
6,000 square feet on 26.50 acres. The proposed Maple Hills Subdivision is planned to
exceed the minimum "R-1C" lot size requirement of 4,500 square feet with lots that will
average over 5,000 square feet per lot.
• Zoning: The purpose of the "R -IC" District is to provide for single - family residential
development together with such public buildings, schools, churches, public recreational
facilities and accessory uses, as may be necessary or are normally compatible with
residential surroundings. In Article 24 of the Zoning Ordinance, the "R-1C" District
requires a minimum lot size of 4,500 square feet, with a maximum density of 9.68
dwelling units per acre. The minimum front yard setback is twenty (20) feet with five (5)
foot side and rear yards. The maximum height of dwellings may be twenty -six feet.
Each lot in the " -1C" District must contain at least forty -five feet of frontage. The
open space requirement is 30% of the total lot area. The preliminary plat for the
development indicates 151 single - family residential lots are planned for the site.
• The purpose of the "R-1B" District is to provide for single-family residential
development of moderately spacious character. The "R-1B" District requires a minimum
of 6,000 square foot lots, with a maximum density of 7.26 units per acre. The minimum
front yard setback is twenty -five (25) feet with five foot side and rear yards. The
required yard open space is 30 percent of the total lot area. The 26.50 acre subject site
could accommodate a maximum of 192 single - family residential lots.
• In addition, the applicant is also rezoning the property to the north from a "R-1B" One-
Family Dwelling District to a "B -1" Neighborhood Business District (Zoning Case 0507-
01.) This case has been tabled until the City Council meeting of July 24, 2007. On June
12, 2007, City Council approved the zone change request for another piece of property to
the north from a "R-1B" One-Family Dwelling District to a "AB" Professional Office
District (Zoning Case 0507-02.) The attached preliminary plat identifies the location of
these zone change requests.
• Existing Land Uses: The subject property is currently vacant. The density with the
proposed zoning change will increase from 7.26 dwelling units per acre to 9.68 dwelling
units per acre for a potential of 256 lots on a 26.50 acre property. The land uses to the
north, west, and south are also vacant. To the east is residential with Maple Hills
Subdivision Unit 4 and vacant land.
hs Utilities: An 8" water line and an 8" wastewater line are available to the property as
extensions from Maple Hills Unit 4 to the east.

Staff's Summary (cont.)
• Transportation: Based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation
Manual, the potential traffic generated with single - family lots at the maximum "R-1C"
density is approximately 2,450 vehicle trip ends per day, compared to 1,837 vehicle trips
with the current "R-1B" zoning. The preliminary plat proposes 151 single family lots,
which is less than the density the "R-1C" District allows. The potential traffic generated
for this property with 151 lots is approximately 1,445 vehicle trip ends per day. Access to
the property will be from Stonewall Boulevard, as an extension from Maple Hills Unit 4
to the east and Up River Road to the north. Stonewall Boulevard is a local street. Up
River Road is a primary collector street. Primary collectors serve medium to high density
housing, high schools, public facilities and businesses.
• Comprehensive Plan/ Future Land Use: The future land map of the Northwest crest Area
Development Plan recommends low density residential for the subject property. The
proposed zone change request is consistent with the future land use map.

Department Comments
• The proposed "R-1C" District, per the approved preliminary plat, proposes 151 lots on the
"R-1C" District property. This District could provide for up to 256 lots on the 26.50 acre
property based on the permitted density of the "R-1C" C" District. The "R-1B" District could
provide for 192 single- family lots, based on the permitted density of the "R-1B" District. The
difference between what is proposed on the preliminary plat and what is permitted in each
District is either 41 less "R-113" lots or 105 less "R-1C" lots.
• The applicant is rezoning the adjacent lots to the north, Zoning Case 0507 -01 and Zoning
Case 0507-02. Case 0507 -01 is being rezoned from a "I 11 " District (Residential) to a
"B-1" Neighborhood Business District. This request has been tabled to the July 24, 2007
City Council meeting at the applicant's request. On June 12, 2007, City council approved the
zone change request from from a "R-1B" District (Residential) to an "AB" Professional
Office District (Case 0507-02).
• A preliminary plat is on the Planning Commission agenda for May 30, 2007. The plat is
Maple Hills Unit 5 Preliminary Plat. The plat consists of 30.34 acres and proposes 151 single
family lots. Access to the proposed subdivision would be from Up River Road and Stonewall
Boulevard. The attached plat shows the locations of these zoning cases.

2. New Zoning
a. Case No. 0607-04
Donald W. Kirchberg: A change of zoning from a "T-113" Manufactured
Home Park District to an "I -2" Li ht Industrial District
26.456 acres out of 55,57 acres of the Anthony C. Page Survey 591, Abstract
1010, and out of the A. M. French Survey 312, Abstract 1018, Nueces County,
Texas, located approximately 400 feet south of the intersection of Leopard
Street and Rhew Road.
Shannon Murphy presented the above case via Power Point, stating the applicant is requesting a
change of zoning from a "T-1B" Manufactured Home Park District to an "I -2" Light Industrial District.
The subject property is located on the east side of Rhew Road approximately 400 feet south of Leopard
Street and is currently vacant. Properties to the south, west and east are also vacant. To the north are

single - family and multi - family uses as well as Tuloso-Midway's alternative school. The property
currently has preliminary plat approval. Ms. Murphy stated that Rhew Road is a designated collector in
the Urban Transportation Plan with a required width of sixty feet (60').
Ms. Murphy stated the "I-2" Light Industrial District is intended primarily for light
manufacturing, fabricating, warehousing, and wholesale distributing with off - street loading with access
to major street or railroad. The "I-" District has a front yard setback of twenty feet. There are no
side or rear yard setbacks unless there is adjacency to a residential district, which would then require a
side and rear yard setback of ten (10) feet. The future land map recommends light industrial uses for the
subject property and surrounding area. The proposed use is consistent with the PortAirportiolet Area
Development Plan. Sixteen notices were mailed to property owners within 200' with one from the
Tuloso-Midway Independent School District returned in favor and four in favor from the applicant.
Zero were returned in opposition. Staff recommends approval of the "I -2" Light Industrial District.
In response to Commissioner Braselton, Miguel Saldana stated that the preliminary plat shows
the whole area and that what they are asking to be rezoned is just one area of their original plat.
In response to Commissioner Pusley, Ms. Murphy stated that since the adjacent properties are
also "I_2 ", no buffering is necessary.
Public hearing was opened.
George Worthley, 4202 Santa Fe, Corpus Christi, Texas, came forward and stated he owns three
of the adjacent tracts in between the subject property and Leopard Street which are all zoned residential
at this time. He expressed concern with sewer and drainage in the area and there is no existing sewer
and he asks what the zoning change effect will have on these two items. Mr. Saldana replied that there
is a tract and a map in the report that shows unit one as proposed and a lot that will be a detention pond
as reviewed by our engineer. There will be a pipe installed to drain that pond out to Leopard Street. As
for waste water, it will be provided along Rhew Road and will be extended and connected to existing
sanitary system on Main Street which is to the west of Rhew Road. There are still issued to be
addressed before it becomes reality. In response to Mr. Worthley, Mr. Saldana stated the wastewater
provision along Rhew Road will not affect Mr. Worthley or his property.
In response to Commissioner Pusley, Ms. Murphy stated that all the tracts adjacent to Leopard
are "I-2"; Tract 5A has a special permit; tract 3 is "I -2" but residential use.
Public hearing was closed
Commissioner Skorbarczyk motioned for approval of staff recommendation and . *as seconded
by Commissioner Martinez. Motioned passed with Commissioner Pusley opposed and Chairman
Stone being absent.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
PUBLIC HEARING — ZONING (City Council Action Date: July 24, 2007)
Case No._0507-11,The Lakes at King Estates, Inc.: A change of zoning from a "RE" Residential Estate
District to a "R-1A" " Ore -F mil r Dwelling lling District on property described as 84.836 acres out of th North
2 of Section 32, Lauretes Farm Tracts recorded in Volume 3, Page 15, Map Records of Ius County,
Texas, located south of King Trail off of S. Staples Street.
Planning Commission & Staf'f's Recommendation (May 30, 2007),: Denial of the "R-1A" One-Family
Dwelling District and in lieu thereof, approval of a "RE/SP" Residential Estate District with a Special
Permit for the entire subdivision subject to twenty -one (21) conditions relating to use, lot area, building
setbacks/height, infrastructure, access, driveways, septic development plan and installation requirements,
landscape plan, plat, and time limit.
ue ed uuncil Action: Denial of the "R-1A" " Or e- Family Dwelling District and in lieu thereof,
approval of a "RE/SP" Residential Estate District with a Special Permit for the entire subdivision subject to
twenty -one (21) conditions relating to use, lot area, building setbac siheight, infrastructure, access,
driveways, septic development plan and installation requirements, landscape plan, plat, and time limit.
• Background: On July 10, 2007, the City Council held a public hearing to consider a change of zoning
on the subject property from "RE" Residential Estate District to a "R-1A" One- Family Dwelling
District. The action of the City Council was to deny the request. At the City Council meeting on July
17, 2007, Council voted to reconsider the zoning change request.
• Request: The applicant is requesting a change of zoning from "RE" Residential Estate District to a
"R-1A" One- Family Dwelling District for the development of ninety-two (92) single family
residential lots.
• Zoning: The purpose of the "RE" District is to provide for single- family residential development of
a spacious character together with the related recreational facilities normally required to provide an
orderly, attractive and spacious residential living envi

• Utilities:
o Water service is available to the subject property.
• Wastewater service is not available requiring each individual lot to have a septic system
in place to handle wastewater. State regulations and the City Platting Ordinance require
a minimum lot size of acre in order to install and use a private septic system. The
proposed "R-1A" zoning lot sizes are less than Y2 acre and therefore would not be
permitted the use of private septic systems.
• With the current "RE" designation, there is an exemption for sidewalks, curbs, and
gutters on properties over 1 acre in size. A reduction of lot sizes to less than 1 acre will
require the installation of sidewalks, curbs, and gutters.
• Transportation: A subdivision plat has not been submitted, but the application states the property
will consist of ninety -two (92) lots. Based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip
Generation Manual, the potential traffic generated with the proposed number of single - family lots
would generate approximately 920 vehicle trips per day. The property will be served by F.M. 2444
(S. Staples Street), a rural arterial; South Oso Parkway to the north, planned South Oso Parkway to
the south, both rural parkways; and King Trail and Lago Vista Drive, both rural local streets.
• Comprehensive Plan/ Future Land Use: The requested "R-1A" One - Family Dwelling District is
not consistent with the London Area Development Plan which recommends very low density
development consistent with "F-R" Farm Rural and "RE" Residential Estate in order to protect the
natural habitat formed by the Oso Creek.
Notification: Of the thirty -four (34) notices mailed to the surrounding property owners, zero were
returned in favor and zero were returned in opposition. The 20% rule is not invoked. This case is
considered non- controversial. State law 20% rule is invoked when property owners who own 20% of
the land within the 200 foot radius of the subject property are opposed. Invoking the 20% rule
requires a three - quarters favorable vote of the City Council for a change of zoning to be approved,
rather than a simple majority. Unless such proposed change is approved by the Planning
Commission such change shall not become effective except by a favorable vote of a majority plus one
of the City Council present and voting.

Staff Summary
• Background: On July 10, 2007, the City Council held a public hearing to consider a change
zoning on the subject property from "RE" Residential Estate District to a "R- IA" One -Faun
Dwelling District. The action of the City Council was to deny the request. At the City Coun
meeting on July 17, 2007, Council voted to reconsider the zoning change request.
• Request: The applicant is requesting a change of zoning from "RE" Residential Estate
District to a "R-1A" One - Family Dwelling District for the development of ninety -two (92)
single family residential lots.
• Zoning: The purpose of the "RE" District is to provide for single-family residential
development of a spacious character together with the related recreational facilities
normally required to provide an orderly, attractive and spacious residential living
environment. This district also provides for those agricultural uses which are compatible
and in harmony with a lower density residential living environment, which area is subject
to conditions that are normally detrimental to other residential densities.
• In Article 24 of the Zoning Ordinance, the "RE" District requires a minimum lot size of 1
acre or 43,560 square feet, with a maximum density of one dwelling per acre. The
minimum front yard setback is fifty y feet with twenty-five 2 foot side and rear yards.
The maximum height of dwellings may be 35 feet. Each lot in the "RE" District must
contain at least 150 feet of frontage. There is no open space requirement in the "RE"
District.
• In contrast, the "R-1A" District requires a minimum lot size of 1 0,000 square feet, with a
maximum density of 4.36 dwellings per acre. The minimum front yard setback is twenty -
five (25) feet and side and rear yards of five feet. Each lot in the "R-IA" District is
required to contain at minimum frontage of eighty -five feet. The open space
requirement is 30% of total lot area.
• Existing Land Uses: The subject property is currently vacant. The property is bordered on
the west by King Estates Subdivision (zoned "RE"), to the north by Coves at Lago Vista
Subdivision (zoned "F-R" with a Special Permit on October 19, 2004), Oso Creek and city
park to the east.
• Utilities:
• Water service is available to the subject property.
• Wastewater service is not available requiring each individual lot to have a
septic system in place to handle wastewater. State regulations and the City
Platting Ordinance require a minimum lot size of V2 acre in order to install and
use a private septic system. The proposed "R-1A" zoning lot sizes are less than
1/2 acre and therefore would not be permitted the use of private septic systems.

Staff's Summary {cant.}
• Transportation: A subdivision plat has not been submitted, but the application states the
property will consist of ninety -two (92) lots. Based on the Institute of Transportation
Engineers Trip Generation Manual, the potential traffic generated with the proposed number
of single- family lots would generate approximately 920 vehicle trips per day. The property
will be served by F,M. 2444 S. Staples Street), a rural arterial; South Oso Parkway to the
north, planned South Oso Parkway to the south, both rural parkways; and King Trail and
Lao Vista Drive, both rural local streets.
• Comprehensive n Future Land Use: The requested "1 -1" One - Family Dwelling
District is not consistent with the London Area Development Plan which recommends very
low density development consistent with "F-R" Farm Rural and "RE" Residential Estate in
order to protect the natural habitat formed b the Oso Creek.

b. Case No. 0507 -11
The Lakes at King Estates, Inc.: A change of zoning from a
"RE" Residential Estate District to a "R ;1 A" One- Family
Dweilin
84.836 acres out of the North of Section 32, Laureles Farm
Tracts recorded in Volume 3, Page 15, Map Records of Nueces
County, Texas, located south of King Trail off of S. Staples Street.
Shannon Murphy presented the above case via Power Point stating the request is for a
change of zoning from a "RE" Residential Estate District to a to a "R-1A" One- Farily
Dwelling District. The applicant proposes to create a development of ninety -two (92) single
family residential lots. The existing land use of the property is currently vacant. There are
single family developments to the west and north and further east is city park property. The
property is located south of King Trail off of S. Staples Street. The applicant is requesting a
"R-1A" District which allows lot sizes of 10,000 square feet, a maximum density of 4.36
dwelling units per acre and twenty -five foot front setbacks.
Planning Commission Minutes
May 30, 2007
Page 2
Ms. Murphy stated the future land use map recommends very low density
development consistent with the "F-R" Farm-Rural District and "RE" Residential Estate in
order to protect the natural habitat formed by the Oso Creek. The "R-1A" District is not
consistent with the London Area development plan. Staff recommends denial of the "R-1A"
One - Family Dwelling District and in lieu thereof, a Special Permit with twenty -one
conditions similar to the conditions imposed upon the Special Permit for the Coves at Lago
Vista in 2004, which are included in the Commissioner's packet. Ms. Murphy stated that
thirty-four notices were mailed to property owners with zero returned in favor and zero
returned in opposition.
In response to Commissioner Skrobarczyk, Ms. Goode -Macon stated that
development must begin within one year on the entire subject property, not on each
individual lot.
In response to Commissioner Pusley, Ms. Goode-Macon stated that if the one -year
time limit is missed they can apply for an extension.
In response to Commissioner Skrobarczyk, Ms. Goode-Macon stated that the London
Area Development Plan is available on the city website and staff can provide copies for him
to view.
Public hearing was opened.
Jerry Kramer, 6710 King Trail, Corpus Christi, Texas, came forward in support of the
request. Mr. Kramer stated that with the Coves at Vista Lago went in, a lot of discussion was
had concerning lot size. Keeping the larger lot size maintains the integrity of the area and
keeps traffic to a minimum.
Chuck Urban, 2725 Swantner, Corpus Christi, Texas, came forward in support of the
request and explained the design of the setbacks for the development, stating the lots vary in
width from front to back creating a unique type of subdivision with curving roads and varying
setbacks.
Motion was made by Commissioner Pusley to approve staff recommendation and
was seconded by Commissioner Braselton. Motion passed unanimously with Chairman
Stone abstaining.

Comments Associated with Item ##2 and #3 Above;
Staff supports expanding and enhancing the programming of the Neighborhood Initiative
Program (NIP). The committee recommends the development of an enhanced PRIDE
Program where the resources and efforts can be focused and concentrated on
neighborhood revitalization and stronger resident participation for sustainability of the 20
existing sites.
The committee recommends the development of an updated NIP concept that would
redefine the level of city service /operational component of the program, and possibly the
selection criteria.
Comments Associated with Item #5 Above:
Staff introduced the Model Block Program to Mayor and Council in early 2006 as a Pilot
Program for a three (3) year period. The program officially started in August 2006. The
committee recommends that we should not consider expanding the program until we
complete the pilot program. The pilot program is scheduled to end in 2009.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
This item has been discussed with the Municipal Court Committee, who made a motion to proceed
with this item to the City Council.
On September 12, 2006, the City Council approved funding from the Municipal Court Technology
Fund for the technological requirements to ensure each of the courtrooms, including the Main Court,
the Juvenile Court and the Environmental Court were properly equipped for the establishment of
"Court of Record" recordings, as required by statute. With the funding approved, each courtroom
was equipped with "state of the art" technology, completed and in place by January 1, Zoo. In
addition, each courtroom clerk was trained on proper operation of the equipment. By installing this
equipment, any transcriber will be able to identify each party as defined in the system, by channeling
the recordings.
In November 2006, the City of Corpus Christi provided Mr. Tom Utter with the documentation to
file a bill, filed as SB 2009, to request passage of the SB 2009 for approval in becoming a Court of
Record. The Honorable Presiding Judge Rodolfo Tamez and Court Director Rene Mendiola,
appeared before committees of the House of Representatives, where the bill was carried by Mr. Juan
Garcia and the Senate, where the bill was carried by Mr. Juan Hinojosa, to testify on behalf of the
bill. The bill was approved into law at the end of this legislative session.

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA DA M 1 ioRANDU1 I
City Council Action Date: July 24 2007
AGENDA ITEM:
A. Motion setting September 11, 2007 as the date of the adoption of the ad valorem tax rate of
$O.584082 per $100 valuation.
B. Motion setting a public hearing on the ad valorem tax rate for August 21, 2007 and a second public
hearing for August 28, 2007, during the regular City Council meeting beginning at 10 :00 a.m. at
City Hall, 1 201 Leopard Street, Corpus Christi, Texas.
ISSUE:
The State Property Tax Code requires that two public hearings be held when a taxing unit proposes to
impose a tax rate that exceeds the lower of the effective tax rate or the rollback rate. The proposed FY
2007 -2008 City budget submitted for first reading for adoption to City Council on July 17, 2007 included
a tax rate of $0.584082 per $ 100 valuation, which reflects the estimated effective Maintenance and
Operations tax rate of $0.384907 plus the required Debt Service tax rate of $0.199175, which was
increased in FY2005-2006 for voter approved debt. The second reading for adoption of the City Budget
will be held on July 24, 2007.
The Nueces County Appraisal District is required to present the City with the certified tax roll by July 25,
2007. Although the recent events that transpired with the City of Port Aransas challenging the Nueces
County Appraisal District on the level of appraisals for residential properties are not anticipated to delay
the certification of the City of Corpus Christi's property values, the Nueces County Appraisal District
notified the City of Corpus Christi by letter that they are committed to providing the City with certified
values as soon as practicable. However until the certified roll is received, the actual effective tax rate can
not be calculated. Once the calculations are complete, i
FUTURE COUNCIL ACTION:
• Tuesday, August 21, 2007 — City Council will conduct a public hearing on the ad valorem tax rate.
• Tuesday, August 28, 2007 — City Council will conduct a second public hearing on the ad valorem
tax rate.
• Tuesday, September 11, 2007 — City Council will adopt the ad valorem tax rate of $0.584082 per
$100 valuation.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the motion scheduling August 21, 2007 and August 28, 2007 for the public hearings
and September 11, 2007 for adoption of the ad valorem tax rate be approved.

Background Information
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The State Property Tax Code requires that two public hearings be held when a taxing unit proposes
to impose a tax rate that exceeds the lower of the rollback tax rate or the effective tax rate. The
effective tax rate is generally equal to the prior year's taxes divided by the current year's taxable
values of properties that were also on the tax roll in the prior year.
The rollback tax rate is the highest tax rate the taxing unit can set before taxpayers can start rollback
procedures. The rollback tax rate divides the overall property taxes into two categories
maintenance and operations M& taxes and debt service taxes. The M&O portion ofthe tax rate
is the rate that would be needed to raise eight percent more operating funds than the unit levied in the
preceding year. This calculation is similar to the effective tax rate calculation. The debt portion is
the tax rate that will be needed to pay the entity's debt payments in the coming year This part ofthe
calculation does not depend on the prior year's debt taxes. It only considers what the entity will need
for the current year. The portion of the overall rate used to retire debt may rise as high as necessary

C1TY COUNCIL
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
City Council Action Date: July 24‘ , 2007
AGENDA ITEM: Motion appointing Council Members as Board Members of the Corpus Christi
Housing Finance Corporation and the Corpus Christi Industrial Development Corporation.
ISSUE: The City has three specialty corporations for which the City Council serves as the Boards of
Directors. These specialty corporations include the Corpus Christi Community Improvement
Corporation (CCCIC), the Corpus Christi Housing Finance Corporation (CCHFC), arid the Corpus
Christi Industrial Development (CCIDC). Of the three, the Corpus Christi Community Improvement
Corporation is incorporated under the Texas Nonprofit Corporations Act and therefore appoints its
own membership, as opposed to the other two for which the Council makes the appointments.
The corporations are scheduled to meet today, and therefore it would be appropriate for the City
Council to take action to appoint the Council Members to the two boards (CCHFC and CCIDC).
RECOMMENDATION: : Appointment of Council Members to the Board membership of the Corpus
Christi Housing Finance Corporation and the Corpus Christi Industrial Development Corporation.

Memorandum
TO: Vice President Kelly and Members of the Board of the CCHFC
FROM: George K. Noe, General Manager
DATE: July 20, 2007
SUBJECT: Request for Annual Meeting of the Corpus Christi Housing Finance Corporation
1 am requesting that the annual meeting of the Corpus Christi Housing Finance Corporation
(CCHFC) Board of Directors be held during the City Council meeting of July 24, 2007, to
consider the following action:
1. Election of officers: At the Corporation's annual meeting the Corporation elects
officers. The position of President is currently vacant while the position of Vice President
is currently held by Bill Kelly. The remaining positions are functionary positions in nature,
which traditionally are held by staff. 1 recommend a slate of City staff members for the
functionary positions as follows:
General Manager -- George K. Noe, City Manager
Secretary — Armando Chapa, City Secretary
Assistant Secretary — Mary Juarez, Assistant City Secretary
Treasurer — Cindy O'Brien, Director of Finance
Assistant Treasurer -- Constance P. Sanchez, Assistant Director of Finance
2. General Manager's report: The Corpus Christi Housing Finance Corporation (CCHFC)
has been active in providing mortgage assistance since 1980, which marked the
establishment of state law allowing such corporations. The 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, others communities as well as the Texas Department of
Housing and Community Affairs have offered similar programs.
A Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) is a federal tax credit that can be issued by the
CCHFC. It authorizes a first-time home buyer to take a federal tax credit on his or her
federal 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 that 2,000 first -tune 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 an allocation
administered on behalf of the Coastal Bend Housing Finance Corporation ended on
December 31, 2006.
On April 25, 2007, the CCHFC began a new MCC program in the amount of
$13,000,000. This program was awarded to the Corporation from the State after the
Corporation's application and was approved by the Corporation at its meeting of April 24,
2007. We are very pleased to report that the MCC program is progressing nicely and we
now have eleven lenders who are participating in the program. I have attached a copy
of the MCC brochure which outlines our latest program.
In addition to the MCC program, the CCHFC issued approximately 1 0,00 ,o o in
single family mortgage revenue bonds for mortgages in the early 1980's. The
Corporation has also been very active in financing multifamily housing projects including
The Wharf, The Rafters, Willowick, Sugar Tree and others in an approximate amount of
$100,000,000.

CORPUS CHRISTI HOUSING FINANCE CORPORATION
MORTGAGE CREDIT CERTIFICATE PROGRAM
MCC INFORMATION GUIDE
The Corpus Christi Housing Finance Corporation is operating a Mortgage Credit Certificate
Program in the Corpus Christi area to help make ownership of homes more affordable for low to moderate
income households, especially first -time buyers. A Mortgage Credit Certificate (MCC) increases a
family's disposable income by reducing its federal income tax obligations. This tax savings provides a
family with more available income to qualify for a loan and meet mortgage payment requirements. In
order to participate in the Program, home buyers must meet certain eligibility requirements, purchase a
home or complete home improvements which qualify under the Program, and obtain a mortgage loan
through a participating Lender. (Refer to the "MCC = Money in Your Pocket! !" Worksheet to see if you
meet the general requirements for participation in the Program)
MCC Tax Credit
MCC Percentage: A loan up to $80,000.00 qualifies for a Mortgage Credit Certificate Rate of 40
percent. A loan over $80,000.00 qualifies for a Mortgage Credit Certificate Rate of 35 percent, The fol-
lowi
ELIGIBLE PROPERTY
General Information: New or existing owner - occupied, si
residence by its owner when the following conditions have been met: the residence must be at least 20 years old;
50 percent or more of the existing external walls of the residence must be retained in place as external walls; 75%
or more of the existing external walls of the residence must be retained as either internal or external walls; at least
75% of the existing internal structural framework must be retained in place; and the expenditures incurred in the
rehabilitation must be equal to at least 25% of the borrower's adjusted basis in the residence.
APPLICATION EVFORMATION
Where to Apply: You may apply for an MCC in person at any participating lender. You may apply for
an MCC through only one lending office. Any lender who bas completed and filed a Lender Participation
Agreement with the Program Administrator may participate in the Program. If your lender is not a participating
Lender, have them contact the Program Administrator for a copy of the Lender Participation Agreement Lenders
are not required to participate in this Program.
How to Apply: At the time of MCC application, you will need to supply the Lender with general credit
information such as account numbers for loans, credit cards, and bank accounts and a check for $75.00 for the
MCC Commitment Fee. This fee is non - refundable. After you have made application, the Lender will forward
your application to the Trustee. Upon receipt of a qualifying application, the Trustee will issue an MCC
Commitment Letter which will reserve an MCC for three months for a loan for Existing Housing and six months
for a loan for New Housing or a Qualified Rehabilitation Loan. At loan closing and upon submission of the
required Program documents in compliance with the guidelines and an MCC Issuance Fee of $175.00, the MCC
will be issued directly to you A simplified, one-step procedure is available for Qualified Home Improvement
Loans upon the payment of a single MCC Home Improvement Fee of $75.00. Extensions are allowed upon
request and the submission of a $25.00 MCC Extension Fee. MCC's cannot be transferred from one lender to
another. In the event you hire to change lenders, the MCC application and commitment will be revoked and the
application process must start over with the new lender.

DATE: July 13, 2007
SUBJECT: Request for Meeting of the Corpus Christi improvement Corporation
(CCCIC) on July 24, 2007
am requesting that the annual meeting of the Corpus Christi Community Improvement
Corporation (CCCIC) be held during the Council meeting of July 24, 200 7, to consider
the following items:
1. Election of Officers: For this annual meeting, the CCCIC will need to appoint
vacated Board of Director's positions and thereafter elect a President and Vice
President. The remaining positions are functionary positions in nature, which
traditionally are held by staff. 1 recommend a slate of City staff members for the
functionary positions as follows:
General Manager George K. Noe, City Manager
Secretary — Armando Chapa, City Secretary
Assistant Secretary — Mary Juarez, Assistant City Secretary
Treasurer — Cindy O'Brien, Director of Finance
Assistant Treasurer — Constance P. Sanchez, Assistant Director of Finance
2. General Manager's Annual Report: The CCCIC was originally incorporated as a
nonprofit corporation in 1976 as the Corpus Christi Housing Improvement
Corporation (name change occurred on March 16, 1993). The Corporation was
"organized exclusively for the purpose of benefiting and accomplishing public
purposes of, and on behalf of, the City, by financing the cost of residential
ownership and development that will provide decent, safe and sanitary housing for
residents for the City at prices they can afford." The intent was simply to provide a
vehicle for the City's single family rehabilitation program; however, over the years
the Corporation has taken a much broader role in not only handling Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, but also HOME Investment Partnerships
funds, certain Emergency Shelter Grant funds and special CDBG projects for the
City. Over $35 million of funding has been generated through the CCCIC and more
than 5,000 units have been assisted through the CCCIC's many programs.
The CCCIC is a public nonprofit corporation, a separate legal entity from the City of
Corpus Christi, with the responsibility to maintain /manage the corporation in
accordance with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development rules. As
such, CCCIC meetings are requested at interval times throughout the year to allow
City staff to make contractual obligations or amendments in relation to affordable
housing programs and developments.
3. Motion authorizing the CCCIC General Manager or designee to extend the
HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program loan term for TX LULAC
West Park Housing, L.P. from 12 months to 24 months plus 6 months
extension, if necessary: On April 18, 2006, the City Council adopted its FY2006
Consolidated Annual Action Plan for Community Planning and Development
Programs totaling $8,090,8l6that included $4,962,5O6forthe CDBG Program and
$149,325 for the ESG Program and $2,976,985 Home Investment Partnership
(HOME) Program (M2006-125). With this action, $125,000 of HOME Program
funding was allocated to TX LULAC West Park Housing, L.P. for rehabilitation of
their 124 multi - family unit complex located at 10702 lH 37.
On August 22, 2006, the CCCIC approved an additional $209,124 short term (12
months) bridge loan from the HOME program for the TX LULAC West Park
Housing, L.P.
Subsequently, a Subrecipient Agreement with TX LULAC West Park Housing, L.P.,
as part of the FY2006 HOME program funding, was approved by the CCCIC on
January 16, 2007 for $334,124. The CCCIC authorized the loan at 3% interest. An
additional $100,000 from the Rental Rehabilitation Loan Program administered by
the Neighborhood Services Department was approved by the Loan Review
Committee.
TX LULAC West Park Housing, L.P. is requesting that the CCCIC extend the HOME
Investment Partnerships (HOME) Program loan term from 12 months to 24 months
plus 6 months extension, if necessary The request is necessary to provide for the
gap financing until full funding is in place by Washington Mutual Bank which will
provide for the permanent mortgage and the Texas Department of Housing and
Community Affairs which will provide for the low income housing tax credits needed
for the development.
4. Motion authorizing the General Manager or designee to execute a contract
with TX LULAC West Park Housing, L.P., to revie w audit interest reduction
payments IF P's under a federal Section 236 housing agreement, should the
terms of the contract be agreeable to both parties: TX LULAC West Park
Housing, L.P. is also requesting that the CCCIC review audit Interest Reduction
Payments IF P's with the terms of the Section 236 agreement for TX LULAC West
Park Housing, L.P. should the terms be agreeable amongst both parties. TX
LULAC West Park Housing, L.P. will not receive IRP funds during the construction
phase. The substantial completion of the construction period is expected the end
on December ber 31, 2008. The I P will be initiated in 2009 when the new mortgage
payments begin. The commitment to review the audit of the IRP will extend for five
(5) years thereafter. The I.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
(HUD) requires that a public agency perform the IRP audit, and Washington Mutual
Bank is a non - approved HUD lender. The City, as a political subdivision and
governmental body, is not empowered to conduct audit reviews for private entities.
The CCCIC, as a private non - profit, may be permitted to do so, but such an
undertaking would be subject to approval. The IF P review audit is required to meet
the statutory and regulatory requirements imposed by the terms of the primary
mortgage which continue to operate such as the establishment of the operative rent,
Including calculation of a basic rental charge and a fair market rental charge; the
return to HUD, where appropriate, of excess income beyond the statutory rent limits;
the calculation of the amount of the IRP; and timely reporting to HUD of
noncompliance with the terms of the Section 236 agreement.
The IRP revie w audit will be contracted by the CCCIC for the purposes of the
requirements set forth to meet the statutory and regulatory terms, The I P can only
pay debt on the property, The cost to conduct the IRP review audit is yet to be
determined, and will be burden by TX LULAC West Park Housing, L.P. Should the
cccIc staff and TX LULAC West Park Housing, L.P. agree to the terms of the
service, we are requesting that the CCCIC approve the authorization to move
forward with an agreement.

FROM: George K. Noe, General Manager
DATE: July 20, 2007
SUBJECT: Request for Annual Meeting of the Corpus Christi Industrial Development
Corporation (CCIDC) on July 24, 2007
am requesting that the annual meeting of the Corpus Christi Industrial Development
Corporation (CCIDC) be held during the Council meeting of July 24, 2007, to consider the
following items:
1. Election of Officers: Each year at its annual meeting, the CCIDC elects officers. The
office of President is currently held by Henry Garrett, while the position of Vice President
is vacant. The remaining positions are functionary positions in nature, which traditionally
are held by staff. !recommend a slate of City staff members for the functionary positions
as follows:
General Manager — George K. Noe, City Manager
Secretary — Armando Chapa, City Secretary
Assistant Secretary — Mary Juarez, Assistant City Secretary
Treasurer — Cindy O'Brien, Director of Finance
Assistant Treasurer — Constance P. Sanchez, Assistant Director of Finance
2. General Manager's Annual Report: The CCIDC was established in 1980 under the
Texas Industrial Development Corporation Act of 1979. The CCIDC has as its general
charge the provision of assistance to and encouragement of industrial, manufacturing,
warehousing, and commercial activities within Corpus Christi and the Corpus Christi
area. The CCIDC's principal tool has been the utilization of Industrial Revenue Bonds
which are tax exempt under federal law. These bonds are not a liability of the City,
County, or the Sate and are solely payable from the loan repayment agreements on
various industrial warehousing or commercial projects. In addition, some of the bonds
are backed by Letters of Credit or corporate guarantees.
The Corporation generates income from fees that it charges for the issuance of the
bonds. Since its establishment, the Corporation has utilized these fees for various
economic development studies and projects for the City of Corpus Christi in an amount
in excess of $300,000. These projects have included such items as joint studies of Port
activities and small capital improvement projects.
The CCIDC has issued approximately $65 million in industrial revenue bonds during its
existence which have been responsible for assisting in the financing of a number of
projects, including the following:
a. Hotel - Motel: Assisted in creation of over 1,000 hotel and motel rooms (Holiday Inn
Airport, Sandy Shores, Marriott, Days Inn).
b. Warehousing and distribution: 35,000 sq. ft., including Williams Distributing Co. and
W. W. Grainger, Inc.
. Industrial: 100,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing facilities for the Die Dietrich USA, Inc.,
project.
The CCIDC has also played a major role in the establishment of the City's State
Enterprise Zone. The CCIDC paid for the Enterprise Zone expansion applications and in
1997 paid for the submission of a new Enterprise Zone application. Since the Zone was
originally created in 1969, State approved Enterprise Zone designated projects in
Corpus Christi have generated over 4,000 jobs with total investments of approximately
$2.9 billion.
The CCIDC also funded an architectural study of the old Nueces County Courthouse by
the KilIis- Almond firm. The latest CCIDC bond project was the issuance of bonds for the
Airborne Freight Corporation facility at Corpus Christi International Airport in the amount
of $1.1 million.

a. Compensation and Classification Study in 2001 -2002
In FY 2002 -2003, the City of Corpus Christi successfully implemented the Compensation &
Classification Study conducted in FY 2001 -2002 to meet departmental business objectives,
such as:
• Replacing the City's aging, obsolete system;
• Attracting and retaining qualified employees;
• Supporting re- engineering efforts for the Departments of Water, Wastewater, Storm
Water, Gas, Streets, Solid Waste Services, and the Park Maintenance Division through
development and implementation of skill -based pay systems;
• Providing solutions for citywide compensation issues such as, internal equity of jobs
within designated pay grade levels;
• Designing competitive pay plans;
• Providing the Council with an affordable phased -in implementation plan that began FY
2002 -2003.
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.
b. Phase 1 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 -pint 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 -e empt (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.
c. Phase!! Implementation in FY 2003 -2004
Effective July 28, 2003, all Pay Plan Structures in Sec. 39 -303 of the 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 s 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 imums that were adjusted to 100% of market effective July 28, 2003.
Employees in those Pay Plans were granted a 2% pay increase, except f r employees who had
reached the maximums of their pay ranges and had been at 100% of market since July 28,
2003.
d. Phase 111 Implementation in FY 2004 -2005
Effective July 26, 2004, a 3% pay increase was concurrently implemented as follows:
Cl) 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-
33.
This increase was applied to Council Appointed Positions.
e. Phase IV Implementation in FY 2005 2006

a. Pilot Project for skill -Based Pay (S SP) for Water Production Technician (0. N. Stevens
Water Plant) and Wastewater Treatment Technician (Wastewater Treatment 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- Eased 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 5EP training is received on the job.
Skill -Eased 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 ON.
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 (MAXIMO) used by the Water and Wastewater Departments is
being interfaced with the Pe pleS ft Training Module in the City's Human Resources /Payroll
System. Work coordinators (supervisors), Planner /Schedulers, and Skill -Based Pay
Coordinators w rk closely with employees and each other t ensure that training opportunities
on required skills will be available. Computerized rep rtsthattrack 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 Poli e! it /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 SBP with the new title of Metr -C m
Technician.
c. SBP for Storm Water and Gas Departments
Effective February 7, 2005, the Gas Department went live on SBP 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.
d. Planned SBP Implementations in FY 2006 -2007
Departments scheduled for SBP in FY 2006 -2007 include: Park Maintenance, Streets and
Solid Waste Services.
1v. Status of competency Based career Ladders

function, Skill Based Pay or Competency Based Career Ladders,
111. Employee Costs for Group Health Plan Benefits in FY 2007-2008
City health insurance premiums for Citicare, Citicare Basic, Citicare Public Safety and Citicare Fire

$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 $1 00,000
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

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 earned 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
resulted from differences between budgeted and actual expenses and offsetting

escalating payment schedule on the Chore Canyon debt was levelied 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 OCL metered treated
water customers. Now that bond payments exceed the levelied payment
amount, the reserve fund is drawn on to make up the difference. Since only ICL
and OCL 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 OCL metered treated water customers.

illings-which-apply-to-service-before-and-ineluding-July-3-1-ofeach
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 b1b. 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
22
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- tesUs -winter averageshall
be billed at the "interim average" rate.
23
"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 Teaks 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
Director's designee may adjust the wastewater
bill.
"(3) change in rates.
"a. Annually the City Manager shall calculate base revenues
from single-family residential wastewater customers. Base
revenues shall equal
theDrior year's actual revenues from single-family residential
wastewater customers, adjusted
for all subsequent actual rate increases,
. and for a increase in
the single - family residential wastewater customer base. 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 customer's winter average or
interim average so that the Adjusted Rate will produce an
amount equal to the base revenues.
24
"(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 Tess by weight of chemical oxygen demand index, 250 parts per
million 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
providedNn Section 55448.n
