AGENDA BACKGROUND INFORMATION
SUBJECT: Solomon Coles Recreation Center HVAC Improvements
(Project No. 4354)
PQLDCRIPT!ON: The proposed project consists of installing four each split
heating and cooling systems with 4-ton cooling and I OkW electric heat, sheet metal duct
system with internal liner, air devices for supply and return, electrics as required for new
HVAC units, HVAC control devices (thermostats) and control wiring; build approximately 3'
X 3' closet along outside wall of each classroom to house inside portion of split system.
CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE: The project is to be completed within 80 days of
commencement, or by mid -April 2008.
METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION: 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.
Job Order Contracting streamlines the construction procurement process by establishing
an overriding indefinite delivery and indefinite quantity agreement with purchase or delivery
orders based on specific projects as needed. This process is extremely flexible, allowing
scope and cost to be accurately detailed BEFORE award. The following are important
benefits of using this contract method:
• Allows a better defined scope with cost for the customer.
• Construction contract award can be accomplished in less than one month,
significantly shortening the procurement time.
• Each delivery order is a stand -alone contract. Future awards will be based
specifically on the contractor's performance and the needs of the City of Corpus
Christi.
• Change Orders are minimized. The approved contractor will specifically conduct
detailed site visits and discussions with City Staff to review the requirements, work
conditions, and facility condition prior to submitting a proposal. This will significantly
reduce and/or eliminate unforeseen conditions and excessive cost growth.
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 business enterprises and HUB contractors. It also
avoided the pass- through fees associated with the Texas Cooperative Partnering Network
(TCPN).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
SUBJECT: Cefe Valenzuela Disposal Cell 4A and 4B — Project No. 5225
CONTRACT ACT AME ME iT:
The proposed engineering amendment permits the firm of Chiang, Patel, and Yerby to
finalize the design, specifications, and contract documents to permit the construction of the
next disposal cell to be bid.
A contract summary is attached. See Exhibit B.
BACKGROUND:
The current disposal cell (Cell 3) is estimated to have a service life of approximately fifteen
(15) months depending on the rate of disposal, compaction and amount of daily cover.
Cell 3 began receiving waste November 10, 2007. It is necessary to proceed with design
to have the next disposal cell available when needed.
Engineer Services reviewed various engineering firms that provided landfill services in the
State of Texas. As part of the review, staff consulted with various firms assisting with the
City's landfill permit amendment and modifications as to which firms had good working
relations with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). The firm of
Chiang, Patel and Yerby received the strongest recommendation from those firms. Bill
Hindman, P.E. (the lead landfill principal) with Chiang, Patel and Yerby was highly
respected by TCEQ personnel, and considered a leading landfill expert in Texas. Mr.
Hindman has over 30 years of landfill design experience. He was also employed by TCEQ
prior to joining Chiang, Patel and Yerby.
Due to the need to expedite delivery of the construction documents, an engineering
services contract was administratively issued in the amount of $50,000.00 to Chiang, Patel
and Yerby. In order to continue the required services, Council approval of the proposed
amendment is requested.
PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION:
December 18, 2007 Ordinance adopting the FY2007-2008 Capital Improvement Budget
and Capital Improvement Plan.
FUTURE COUNCIL ACTION:
• Award of materials inspection and laboratory testing contract (CIA/QC);
• Award of any necessary change orders; and
• Design and construction of future disposal cells.
FUNDING: Funding is available from the Sanitary Landfill CHIP Fund.

AGENDA MEMORANDUM
PUBLIC HEARING — ZONING (City Council Action Date: January 8, 2008)
Case No 1107 -02. Jimmy Williams: A change of zoning from a "R-113" " One -F r iy Dwelling
District to an "1-2" Light Industrial District, resulting in a change of land use from residential and
commercial to light industrial on property described as 4.047 acres of land out of the west 21.6 acres
out of Lot 1 of the W.O. Womack Farm Lots, located at the intersection of Saratoga Blvd and Old
Brownsville Rd.
Planning Commission and Staff's Recommendation: Approval of the "1-2" Light Industrial
District.
Summary:
• Request: The applicant is requesting a zoning change from an "R-1B" One - Family Dwelling
District to "1-2" Light Industrial District for the construction and operation of a directional drilling
business including an office, work shop, and an equipment storage yard. The property is
approximately 4.04 acres and is located on the northeast corner at the intersection at Old
Brownsville Road and Saratoga Boulevard.
• Annexation: The property was annexed into the City in 1 962 and zoned with the "R -1 B" One-
Family Dwelling District designation. At the time of annexation, the "R-1B" District was assigned
to annexed property as a method to control high density development until owners of such
properties were prepared to submit a change of zoning that would 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.
• Zoning: The purpose of the requested "I-2" Light Industrial District is to allow for the perati n of
a business office and storage yard for equipment used in off-site oil field industry. More specifically
the equipment and pipe will be used in the directional drilling process. The proposed office and
work shop will be housed in a two story 10,000 square foot building with the shop on the first floor
and the office on the second floor. As part of the zoning requirement for a commercial or industrial
development, the site will include an all weather surfaced parking lot for customers and the
proposed (7) full time employees. The vehicular use areas including the parking lot and drive areas
must be screened with adequate landscaping and meet the point and area ratio requirements
specified by the landscaping section of the zoning ordinance. Screening of the trash dumpster will
be required should solid waste or dumpster service be proposed and provided. The applicant has
stated that the hours of operation will be from :00 AM until 5:00 PM Monday thru Friday with
most of the work being performed off - premise at project drilling sites.
• Existing Land Uses: The subject property is currently occupied by an old tavern and a
manufactured home both of which are to be demolished and removed. The remainder of the
property is undeveloped land. Presently there is a single - family residence immediately north of and
adjacent to the property and manufactured home subdivision north of and beyond that residence.
Adjacent to and east of the property is open agricultural property. South of and across Saratoga
Boulevard is more open agricultural land. The property west of and across Old Brownsville Road
from the subject property is a mixed commercial use including horse stables, retail, storage and open
agricultural land. This property is surrounded by a wide range of zoning districts from "FR" Farm
Rural to "I -2" Light Industrial. The land along the south side of Saratoga Boulevard is designated
as "CL" Outside City Limits and is not subject to zoning designation or regulation.
Agenda Memorandum
Case No. 1107-02 (Jimmy Williams)
Page
• Utilities: Prior to issuance of the building permit, replotting of the property will occur and
additional right-of-way dedication along Saratoga Boulevard will be required. The l►tin process
will locate and identify where the subject property will need to tie into existing city water, storm
water and wastewater systems.
• Transportation: Based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation Manual, the
potential traffic generated from the proposed facility will be approximately 70 vehicle trip ends per
day based on initial employment data of people and square footage of the building. The property
will have access from Old Brownsville Road and Saratoga Boulevard.
• Comprehensive lanlFuture Land Use: The future land use map recommends light industrial.
The proposed industrial use is consistent with the surrounding land uses in the area and with the
Corpus Christi International Airport located several miles to the west. This area is discouraged to
allow the concentration and location of residential development due to its proximity to the airport.
Development is monitored closely within several miles of the airport in order to limit the impact of
an airplane crash or disaster. Therefore, industrial uses are encouraged.
Notification: Of the nineteen (19) notices mailed to the surrounding property owners, zero were
returned in favor and two (2) were returned in opposition, one within the 200 foot notification area
(1.871%) and one outside the notification area. 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.

Mr. Vardeman stated nineteen (19) public notices were mailed with three returned in favor and
zero returned in opposition. Staff recommends approval.
In response to Commissioner Tamez, Mr. Vardeman stated a solid standard screening fence will
be built between Coastal Meadows and the subject property.
In response to Commissioner Skrobarczyk, Mr. Vardeman stated that if one is adjacent to another
"I -" District then no screening fence is required. However, when an industrial district adjoins a
residential district, then a screening fence is required.
Public hearing was opened.
Mr. Antonio Rodriguez, 226 Saratoga Boulevard, Corpus Christi, Texas, came forward stating
that he is not here to support or oppose the request. Mr. Rodriguez stated his parents moved out there
because it is quiet and on the outskirts of town. However, now it is fairly loud out there with pipes
rumbling around, 18-wheelers coming and going at night, using their fake -brake at night, which is very
loud. Mr. Rodriguez stated the roads are not paved and the big trucks make a mess of therm during rain.
Mr. Rodriguez stated that most of the people that live just north of Saratoga are elderly people, very
cautious, stow drivers, and construction traffic could be a hazard to them. Mr. Rodriguez stated the noise
level is the major concern they have.
Mr. Carl Gross, Operations Manager, Corpus Christi International Airport, came forward stating
there is an FAA form required under Federal Aviation Regulation Part 77 that needs to be filled out
before any permanent or proposed construction, form76. Mr. Gross stated that if the applicant would
contact the airport, they would provide assistance in filling out the form.
In response to Commissioner Skrobarczyk, Mr. Gross stated the zone extends around the airport
at 20,000 feet and the proposed construction is within about 10,000 feet.
Mr. Jimmy Williams, Applicant, 14014 Cabana North, Corpus Christi, Texas, came forward
stating the construction will be an office building with paved roads and a paved parking lot. Mr. Williams
stated the office hours will be 8 :00 a.m. to 5 :00 p.m.; therefore, there will not be an increase in noise or
18-wheelers at night.
In response to Commissioner Huerta, Mr. Williams stated he would submit a site plan upon
approval of the rezoning request.
In response to Commissioner Tamez, Mr. Williams stated he would put a good buffer zone
between Coastal Meadows and the subject property.
Public hearing was closed.
Motion for approval was made by Vice - Chairman Garza and seconded by Commissioner Tame ,
Motion passed unanimously.

• Comprehensive Plan /Future Land Use: The future land use map recommends medium density
residential. Figure 2 "Land Use and Development Plan" of the North Central Area Development Plan
(ADP) (Attached) identifies this area for mid -rise residential with convenient access to the beach.
Ti on Blvd and Surfside Blvd are identified as a scenic corridor in the North Central ADP. The
requested "BD" District boundary is delineated by the "Harbor Landing" area in the North Central
ADP by Harbor Bridge on the west, Corpus Christi Bay to the east (including the USS Lexington),
the Texas State Aquarium to the south, and Coastal Street to the north. This Harbor Landing area is
intended to serve the destinations of the beach, the waterfront, the aquarium, and the USS Lexington
with a unique activity center which promotes high intensity pedestrian oriented development. Policy
statement 8.3 in the North Central ADP states that the "BD" should continue to be used within the
Harbor Landing Area.
Notification: Of the thirty -four (34) notices mailed to the surrounding property owners, thirteen (13) were
returned in favor and zero (0) 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.

Zoning Report
Case No. 1107-03 (Kent Austin)

• Request: The applicant is requesting a zoning change from an "AT" Apartment - Tourist
District to "BD" Corpus Christi Beach Design District to allow for tourist oriented
commercial uses. The property is approximately 0.28 acres /12,196.8 square feet and is
located on Timon Boulevard, approximately 145 feet north of Gulfspray Avenue.
• Zoning: The purpose of the "AT" Apartment- Tourist District is to provide for high -rise
multiple- family dwellings and tourist accommodations with limited outdoor advertising.
The "AT" District is generally located on Mustang -Padre Island and Corpus Christi Beach.
The district requires a twenty (20) foot front yard setback, five foot side and rear yard
setback for single family residential, ten 10 foot side and rear yard setback for
multifamily, plus five feet for each additional story, not to exceed a total of thirty (30)
feet. Nonresidential uses have a ten (10) foot side and rear yard setback. This district
requires a minimum lot size of 10,000 square feet for all uses. The maximum density for
single family is 8.72 dwelling units per acre. The maximum density for multifamily is 43.56
dwelling units per acre.
• The "BD" Corpus Christi Beach Design District was adopted in 1990 to provide for a wide
variety of tourist and business uses complimentary to the Texas State Aquarium. The
regulations are intended to create a unique and attractive resort area offering a full range of
tourist attractions and services. Freestanding pole mounted, off - premise, and billboard
signs are prohibited. Monument and wall signs are allowed, where the maximum sign area
per lot is one square foot of signage per foot of street frontage up to 275 square feet of total
sign area. The district requires a ten (10) foot front yard setback, and zero side and rear yard
setbacks.
• Existing Land Uses: The subject property has an existing 992 square foot one -story
building single story building that is not currently occupied. There is an existing
commercial building immediately to the south that is currently vacant. To the east are
existing commercial buildings that are also vacant. The properties to the north and east are
vacant.
• Utilities: The area is served by water and wastewater.
• Transportation: Based on the Institute of Transportation Engineers Trip Generation
Manual, the potential traffic generated from tourist retail uses will be approximately 155
vehicle trip ends per day. The property will have access from Timon Boulevard.
• Comprehensive Plan/Future Land Use: The future land use map recommends medium
density residential. Figure 2 "Land Use and Development Plan" of the North Central Area
Development Plan (ADP) (attached) identifies this area for mid -rise residential with
convenient access to the beach. Timon Blvd and Surfside Blvd are identified as a scenic
corridor in the North Central ADP. The requested "BD" District boundary is delineated by
the "Harbor Landing" area in the North Central ADP by Harbor Bridge on the west, Corpus
Christi Bay to the east (including the USS Lexington), the Texas State Aquarium to the
south, and Coastal Street to the north. The Harbor Landing area is intended to serve the
destinations of the beach, the waterfront, the aquarium, and the USS Lexington with a
unique activity center which promotes high intensity pedestrian oriented development.
Policy Statement B.3 in the North Central ADP states that the "BD" District should
continue to be used within the Harbor Landing Area.

Status
The subject property is already platted.
• The subject property is located approximately al/2 mile north of the designated Harbor Landing
area which the "BD" District was formulated to implement the policies of the North Central
ADP. A zone change for this single lot will permit land uses not available to adjacent
properties and may be considered spot zoning. If the zone change was consistent with the
future land use plan and policies of the ADP, it would not be considered spot zoning.
A change of zoning to "BD" for the subject property would be inconsistent with the North
Central ADP and the Harbor Landing/Corpus Christi Beach Design "BD" zoning. The ADP
irti
im
intended for tourist commercial uses to be located as a node near the Texas State Aquarium
and the USS Lexington to provide for pedestrian oriented opportunities.
The subject property is at a mid - block location, surrounded by properties to the north, south,
east, and west zoned "AT" Apartment- Tourist. The nearest commercially zoned area is located
further to the northwest on U.S. Highway 181 and Beach Avenue. If the subject property is
rezoned to a commercial district, it will impose incompatibilities between this subject property
and the adjacent properties along Timon and Surfside Boulevards which are designated as
future medium density residential on the future land use map.

b. Case No. 1107-03, Kent Austin — A change of zoning from an
"AT" Apartment - Tourist District to a "BD" Corpus Christi Beach
District
Brooklyn Lots 7, 8 and portion of alley and street, flock 66, Located on Timon
Blvd, approximately 145 feet north of Gulfspray Ave.
Shannon Murphy, City Planner, presented the above case, stating the applicant is Kent Austin
requesting a change of zoning from an "AT" Apartment- Tourist District to a "BD" Corpus Christi Beach
Design District to allow for tourist oriented commercial uses. Ms. Murphy stated the property is located
on Timon Boulevard, approximately 145 feet north of Gulfspray, and the existing land use for the subject
property is commercial, as well as for the properties to the south and east. The properties to the north and
west are vacant. Ms. Murphy stated the subject property contains a 992 square foot one -story building
that is currently unoccupied.
Ms. Murphy stated the current "AT" District provides for high -rise multiple family dwellings and
tourist accommodations, generally located on Mustang and Padre Islands and the Corpus Christi Beach
area. The "AT" District also permits restaurants, with or without alcohol sales. The requested "BD"
District was adopted in 1990 and was created to provide for a wide variety of tourist and business uses
complimentary to the Texas State Aquarium. The "BD" District currently in place is in the Harbor
Landing area which is next to the Texas State Aquarium, and is intended to create, "....a unique and
attractive atmosphere of a resort area offering tourist attractions and services." Ms. Murphy stated

emphasis is placed on establishing pedestrian corridors, amenities, and other public open spaces. lbs.
Murphy also stated the Area Development Plan for the Corpus Christi Beach has a policy statement that
states the "BD" District should continue to be used within the Harbor Landing area.
The area requirements that are in the "BD" District have things such as lots that are a depth of
100' or more shall have ten foot setbacks. If the property was platted prior to the "B" District
designation, then the setback is 1110th the depth of the lot, or five feet, whichever is greater. The side and
rear yard setbacks are zero, and minimum lot width is 50 feet and minim lot size is 10,000 square feet for
residential or nonresidential.
Via aerial photographs, Ms. Murphy pointed out that the subject property is located within an
area that is mostly vacant with some hotel and condominiums located to the east across Surfside
Boulevard. The Land Use Development Plan within the Area Development Plan indicates the subject
property is located within a future mid -rise residential area, and that the "BD" District is located entirely
within the Harbor Landing area, immediately adjacent to the Texas State Aquarium. Ms. Murphy stated
the "BD" District would not be complimentary to business to the Texas State Aquarium due to its
distance of one -half mile from the Texas State Aquarium and that only multi- family zoning would be
consistent with the Future Land Use map.
Of the thirty -four notices mailed, eleven were returned in favor and zero were returned in
opposition. Staff recommends denial of the "BD" Beach Design District.
In response to Commissioner Skrobarczyk, Ms. Goode -Macon stated that in 1990 the intent was
to locate the intense uses closer to the Aquarian and reserving the residential section to the north of the
area, and that all plans are subject to be amended if an aggressive developer chose to do something with
the property on a larger scale.
In response to Commissioner Loeb, Ms. Goode -Macon stated that if City Council passes this zone
change, the Future Land Use map is automatically changed.
In response to Commissioner Tamez, Ms. Goode -Macon stated the conflict arises in that
it is in conflict with the adopted Future Land Use plan.
Public hearing was opened.
George Clower, P.O. Box 2525, Corpus Christi, Texas, applicant's representative, came forward
stating the applicant is requesting to change the zoning to commercial use. Referring to an aerial photo,
Mr. Clower stated the area is fairly vacant without much development going on. Mr. Clower stated the
applicant would be amenable to a special permit allowing for commercial use.
In response to Chairman Stone and Commissioner Skrobarczyk, Ms. Goode-Macon stated the
City has been working with representatives from the Aquarium, the Lexington and some other properties
owners in the area to address some of their concerns for the North Beach area and to come up with
additional proposals. Ms. Goode-Macon stated they have hired an architect to look at some type of
development plan.
Commissioner Huerta stated that taking this small slice of land and rezoning it at this point does
not appear to be the best thing to do; the best thing to do would be to have a large overall plan such as a
PUD or some other large scale plan. But just slicing the area up into different zonings could have the
same result as downtown Corpus Christi.
Mr. Clower responded that there are over thirty-two different land owners and it is difficult to get
everyone on the same page on the same day and it is his opinion that 80% of the block is up for sale.

In response to Commissioner Loeb, Mr. Clower stated they trying to market for retail, such as a t-
shirt or souvenir shop, or other form of business complimentary to the beach area, and that the existing
building on the subject property would be rehabbed.
In response to Commissioner Nadkarni, Mr. Clower stated the personal uses referred to would be
like hair salons, nail salons, something of retail.
In response to Commissioner Skrobarczyk, Its. Goode -Macon stated that staff assisted Mr.
Clower in selecting a district in that he was shown that the closest district for North Beach that has been
used for commercial had been "AT" and "BD" and that "BIB" has over 40 permitted uses that he could
consider for his speculative venture; however, staff recommends denial of the request because it is in
conflict with the Future Land Use map adopted in 1990.
In response to Commissioner Tamez, Ms. Goode -Macon stated that this could be suspect to spot
zoning and that staff feels very strongly about that. Ms. Goode -Macon also stated that in the plan this
area was reserved for high -rise hotels and condominiums and that staff is reserving to have the
commercial density for the south, which was adopted by a Planning Commission and City Council. With
that being said, Ms. Goode -Macon again stated that staff recommendation is denial.
In response to Commissioner Nadkarni, Ms. Goode -Macon stated the Commission has the right
to have their recommendation opposite of staff's.
in response to Commissioner Nadkarni, Ms. Murphy stated a special permit could be specific
with a list of uses or it could be general by stating retail and personal service uses which would allow uses
under those categories permitted with a special use permit.
In response to Commissioner Tamez, Ms. Goode -Macon agreed that any zoning other than "AT"
with a special permit could be suspect to spot zoning.
In response to Commissioner Loeb, Ms. Murphy stated that the Corpus Christi Beach Association
was sent a public notice and they did not respond. Commissioner Loeb stated it is important for any
potential development in that area to be supported.
Commissioner Huerta suggested revising the master plan allowing for an area closer to this
district to be "BD" and have two different synergies, the north and south ends of North Beach,
compliment each other. In response, Ms. Goode -Macon stated that is one of the options being considered
by the Aquarium and North Beach, which would require a comprehensive plan amendment to the Corpus
Christi Beach area development plan.
In response to Commissioner Tamez, Ms. Murphy stated that if the intent is to allow staff time to
work more with the Lexington and Aquarium representatives, that it will take a lot longer due to the
amendment to the comprehensive plan.
Public hearing was closed.
Motion for approval of the "BD" Beach Design District was made by Commissioner Skr bar zy
and seconded by Commissioner Martinez.
Commissioner Huerta stated he believe it will be a mistake to divide and zone this area in slices
and that the entire area needs to be looked because of the great potential.

Commissioner Nadkarni stated his agreement in that it should remain an "AT" for future
development and that a special permit should be allowed for specific uses at this time.

CITY COUNCIL
AGENDA MEMORANDUM
City Council Action Date: January 8, 2008
AGENDA ITEM: Amending the Code of Ordinances, City of Corpus Christi, Chapter 17,
Establishing $250 Convenience Fee for Residential Utility Payments via Internet or
Automated Telephone System; providing for severance; and providing for publication.
ISSUE: The City was one of the first municipal governments to implement online
payments. In 2002, the City entered into an agreement for a payment application with
Texas Local Interactive, a wholly owned subsidiary of the National Information Consortium
USA. The rate for bank transaction fees was 2 percent. In October 2002, the first month
when the online utility payment service was launched, 141 payments were made for
$'1 6,102 with bank transaction fees of $41866.
As web usage expanded and technology improved, in 2004 - Government implemented an
online payment system from FITE which interfaced with the utilities HTE billing system. At
the same time, - Government conducted a request for bids for a new merchant account
and was able to secure a lower rate of 1. percent through Bank of America. Currently,
bank transaction fees and other direct costs are funded in the - Government Services
Department operating budget. In Fiscal Year 2006 -07, the total amount of payments had
increased 376 percent over Fiscal Year 2003 -2004. online and IVR payments are being
made by eight percent of the city's total utility customers, so significant increases in online
and 1VR payments are anticipated to continue.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION: Passage of the ordinance amendment to establish a
convenience fee for electronic payments via Internet and Interactive Voice Response (IVR)
telephone system of utility bills.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
In April 2003, City Council approved an amendment to the Code of Ordinances, Chapter
17, Finance and Taxation, by adding Electronic Payment Use Fees to establish the fee
structure for electronic payments via Internet of Municipal Court Fines and Fees (This
online ticket payment application was discontinued, with future plans to implement a new
service interfaced with the Court Specialists, Inc., application used by Municipal Court.)
FUNDING: The ordinance amendment requires no expenditure of funds.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION: Ap.royal of the or . finance as presented.

Assistant City Manager
Annie Leal
Interim Director, E- Government Services
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Currently, residential customers can access their utility account balance and pay online
through Internet with a credit card (visa and Mastercard). The online HTE utility billing
system, implemented in October 2004, has built -in database interfaces and allows
customers to make payments by credit card. Customers are able to access account
information, status, balance, last bill sent and last payment received, consumption
information, including graphs for the last three years, billing history with bill date, due date,
balance forward, current charges, and total bill. In addition, customers can access service
summaries for status, start and stop dates, 12 -month average charge, graphs for last 12
billings and billing statements with detailed billing and charges.
The phone IVR, implemented in August 2005, allows customers, by phone, to make
payments by credit card, secure access of current status, hear previous billing and
payment information fora 12-month period, request payment or billing history and account
status via fax.
In addition to providing improved customer service and 24/7 access, the online and phone
utility payment systems offload many customer calls. Over 6,500 utility customer access
the online account information monthly.
As usage of the online and telephone utility billing applications increased, the dollar amount
collected steadily increased as follows:

$6,295,864
2 o5 -o *
2006-07
$9,492,669
*Telephone system not implemented until August 2005.
Staff is recommending the establishment of a convenience fee for utility customers
(residential only) in the amount of $2.50 per transaction based on bank fees charged and
additional related direct costs to cover the credit card payment and security applications via
Internet and automated telephone system. In a 2005 study published by Northern Illinois
University of local governments in the United States with online payment applications
(parking violations, utilities, property taxes and water - related payments), 76 percent of the
local governments charged a convenience fee.
Direct annual costs include:
Sun and HTE application annual fee
SSL security certificate
IVR processing fee (fee for each transaction over the phone

Total
$233 I
$3,600 '
$5,400
$8,208
$46,087)
We derived the $2.50 flat fee as follows:
During the first three months of the current fiscal year (2O07O8), we have collected
$2,631 ,976 with 14,853 transactions online and 8,759 transactions by phone. Applying the
rate for bank transaction fees of 1. 8 percent to projected total credit card payments for this
fiscal year, total bank fees are estimated to be $1 89,502. Adding the other direct costs of
$46,087, the total cost for online and IVR payments this fiscal year is estimated to be
$235,589. Dividing this number by the total projected transactions of 94,448 for this fiscal
year, the estimated cost per transaction is $2.494.
The convenience fee calculation will be reviewed annually during the budget process.

ISSUE:
This presentation will provide an update on the continued and enhanced efforts of the
Neighborhood Initiative and Model Block Programs.
The Neighborhood Initiative Program "NIP" completed an additional five intensive
service /operational projects throughout the City for the FY2006-2007, bringing the total
number of project sites to twenty (20) plus the Pilot project. Working in partnership with
the neighborhood residents, the NIP has made significant strides to achieve the City's goal
for Livable Neighborhoods.
To sustain the progress made during the NIP service /operational projects, a follow up
effort, the Neighborhood Pride Program, has been developed and implemented to
encourage, educate, and empower ►rer residents to continue efforts for enhanced
maintenance, ce, safety, improvements, and beautification in their neighborhoods.
The neighborhood bounded by Agnes Street, S. Staples Street, Morgan Avenue and the
Crosstown Expressway is beginning to realize the benefits of the first Model Block
Program. With the designated city staff from the Neighborhood Initiative Program, Code
Enforcement, Directed Police Patrol, partnerships from both non - profit and for profit
organizations and the strong involvement of several resident leaders, the groundwork and
initiation of the City's first Model Block Program is currently underway and outlined in the
presentation and attached documentation.
And, in an effort to continue to expand and enhance the N1P program, three new
recommended Neighborhood Initiative Program project sites will be presented for
the fiscal year 2008.
REQUIRED COUNCIL ACTION:

Neighborhood Initiative Program
"Take the Initiative and Take Pride in Your Neighborhood!"
The Neighborhood Initiative Program (NIP) Is designed to enhance the quality of life for
Corpus Christi neighborhood residents through the concentrated delivery of services
and programs provided by the City of Corpus Christi. Working in partnership with the
neighborhood residents, the City's goal is to ruse awareness of code and zoning
ordinances, provide information on accessing city services and promoting clean and
safe neighborhoods.
NIP FY2006 -2007 Program Overview:
The City of Corpus Christi completed an additional five intensive service /operational
Neighborhood Initiative Program (NIP) projects for the F 2 6 -2007, bringing the total
number of project sites to twenty (20) plus the Pilot Project. Working in partnership with
the neighborhood residents, the NIP continues to make significant strides to achieve the
City's goal for "Livable Neighborhoods."
The NIP has generated continued support and participation by the City's neighborhood
residents. The program has produced valuable results over the last four years with the
collection of an estimated 3,560 tons of trash, brush, heavy debris and 1,000 tires; the
cleaning of 2,500 storm water inlets; replacement of over 2,200 street signs and poles;
the maintenance of over 900 city streets blocks; replacement, or upgrade of
approximately ately 500 street lights; the mowing and clearing of over 1,500 vacant or
abandoned properties; the capture of 300 stray animals; the resolution of 1,070 traffic
obstruction cases; and the creation of Neighbors on Watch groups and Neighborhood
Associations.
The FY2006-2007 NIP program was conducted in five designated neighborhoods which
proved to be beneficial to over 3,000 households who were left with a cleaner and safer
neighborhood.

Ci Resources.
The City of Corpus Christi continues to realize the value of this cooperative initiative
through the strategic planning and scheduling of our operational services organization
wide. The NIP continues to provide new opportunities for various city departments to
work more closely together, encouraging productive communications, and developing
collaborative and more efficient service schedules.

eint Participation
The NIP has been well received by the participating neighborhoods. Overall, the
resident response has been positive with expressed appreciation for this concentrated
and specialized program, and the opportunity to become better informed about city
services, and establish personal contacts with city representatives.
The NIP requires active resident participation in order for the operations to be remotely
successful. Many residents took full advantage of the special debris collection service
by clearing out their properties and removing abandoned vehicles, addressing premise
code violations, building stronger relationships with the Police Directed Patrol Officers
and Code Enforcement Officials, and making noticeable improvements for
beautification.
The improved communications between the residents and the city staff members in
these participating neighborhoods has helped to establish a better understanding of city
services and code regulations. Neighborhood residents that were once intimidated to
speak out with concerns regarding gang activity and code issues are now maintaining
confident relationships with the police and code enforcement. Parks that were once
empty now have children playing safely on new or restored playground equipment.

Resident leadership in each NIP neighborhood continues to emerge and we are
anticipating active sustainability programs for approximately twelve (12) of the
established twenty (20) and the pilot areas.
The Neighborhood Pride Program has been developed and implemented to provide
support for coordination efforts and resources to encourage, educate, and empower
the residents of the NIP neighborhoods to better maintain and continuously improve the
quality of life in their neighborhoods.
Each Neighborhood Pride Program is being tailored to address the unique issues,
priorities, and goals that the neighborhood residents have defined and established for
themselves with the guidance and support of the NIP program.
The Neighborhood hborhood Pride Program is designed to be implemented over a 12-48 month
time span allowing the various participating neighborhoods to work and progress at their
own pace. The sustainability activities and projects have ranged from the installation of
speed humps for traffic control and neighborhood clean up projects with litter critter
trucks, to the initiation of Neighbors on Watch Programs or Neighborhood Associations.
Neiahbcrhood Status: 20 NIP Sites),
The Neighborhood Pride Program is currently being implemented with scheduled
neighborhood meetings in all 20 established NIP sites, plus the pilot neighborhood of
Chula istalCunningham. A recent assessment of the on-going issues and conditions,
have identified approximately twelve 12 NIP sites that have the potential for
functioning as an "independent" neighborhood and/or have achieved a level of
independence. This assessment of "potential independent" or "independent" indicates
the following status:
1. Resident leadership has emerged;
2. Neighborhood issues have been clearly identified and prioritized by the residents;
3. Goals to address and resolve these issues have been developed;
4. Resident leadership has established contacts with city representatives and/or city
departments to coordinate issue resolution;
5. There has been progress made to resolve issues; and
6. The establishment of Neighbors on Watch Program or neighborhood
associations to continue the improvement efforts.
The remaining nine NIP sites are assessed as "challenged" neighborhoods requiring
the continued and enhanced assistance by the NIP to achieve the status of
"independent." The following factors contribute to the assessment of a "challenged"
status:
3
1. Lack of resident leadership;
2. Lack of resident interest and/or effort to participate in neighborhood
meetings /gatherings to discuss issues; and
3. Continued major neighborhood issues involving serious crime and property code
violations.
Contin,ued $uainabiIItv Efft;
Through the Neighborhood Pride Program and activities, continued efforts will be made
by the City to support the accomplishments and development of the twelve 2 NIP
sites that are assessed as "potential independent" or "independent." The ultimate goal
for these neighborhoods is to get them to a level of independence that they are
empowered with the appropriate information, contacts networks and access to various
community resources to continue neighborhood improvement efforts on their own.
The other nine (9) "challenged' neighborhoods will require continued and enhanced
assistance and guidance this next year in order for these sites to realize progress
toward their established goals and begin to reach a level of "independence."
Leadership training opportunities will be provided to all NIP sites, concentrated efforts
to resolve the prevalent crime and code issues will be a continued priority with special
detail on prostitution, gang and drug activities and litter and solid waste violations.
ModeLBio Program:
The Model Block Program is a new initiative developed by the city of corpus Christi as
an objective to accomplish a City Council priority goal of Neighborhood Revitalization.
The Model Block Program is a comprehensive plan to provide opportunities and
resources for an improved quality of life in a designated neighborhood /target area 15-
20 city block radius) identified for potential revitalization and development.
The Model Block Program is designed to identify and address several major issues
within a targeted area including: Neighborhood and economic stability; prevention of
further housing and neighborhood deterioration; resource availability; land assembly for
renovation and redevelopment infill housing); affordable housing development; and
special needs housing issues. Ultimately, the goal is to build strong neighborhoods,
safe communities, and a sound economy.
The targeted area was determined based on a neighborhood needs assessment
conducted by a consultant, and is located in a Community Development Block Grant
eligible area. Neighborhood residents from the target area assist City Staff to develop a
comprehensive neighborhood plan based on the needs assessment, and prepare a
budget for the implementation of the improvement projects prioritized by the residents.
The Neighborhood bounded by Agnes Street, S. Staples Street, Morgan Avenue and
the crosstown Expressway is beginning to realize the benefits of a Model Block
Program in their neighborhood. With the designated city staff from the Neighborhood
Initiative Program, code Enforcement, Directed Police Patrol, partnerships from both
non-profit and for profit organizations and the strong involvement of several resident
leaders, the groundwork and initiation of the Citys first Model Block Program is currently
underway.
Resident Leadership:
A monthly meeting with Neighborhood hborhood Leaders is scheduled for the first Tuesday of
every month. Issues addressed have included:
1. Police Issues — drug activity, prostitution and nominal amount of graffiti;
2. Code Enforcement — Results from January 25, 2007 Building Standards Board
(BSB) hearing - 7 structured demolished; 2 — repairs in progress. Results from
May 31, 2007 BSB hearing — 2 structures ordered for repair and 3 structures
ordered to be demolished; November 29, 2007 BSB hearing — 2 structures
ordered for demolition; a new code enforcement officer was assigned in July
2007 the officer has focused on issues such as illegal dumping, high weeds,
junk vehicles and substandard structures;
3. Engineering — lighting and speed humps are concerns brought to our attention
on a regular basis; continued monitoring to address these issues is ongoing.
Neighborhood Events:
Since the August 2006 "Kick Off' and neighborhood celebration, several neighborhood
events have been held including a "Neighborhood Meeting" held October 17, 2006, a
Housin g Fair held December 9, 2006 and "Neighborhood Meeting" held on October 24,
2007 to update the residents on the program's progress.

On January 31, 2007, the vacant lot assessment was completed. This assessment
included: visual survey of the neighborhood; land acquisition variables such as city of
Corpus Christi owned property, Nueces county foreclosure property set asides, and
vacant lots currently owned, but not developed. The types of purchases or acquisition
of vacant vacant property currently being reviewed includes foreclosures, direct purchases, and
donated land.
From October 16 through 18, 2007, Habitat for Humanity-Corpus Christi in partnership
with Bank of America commenced the building of new homes at 1309, 1318 and 1322
Morris Street Tots purchased with HOME funds and donated to Habitat for Humanity)
This is the kick -off for the "ill housing" component of the Model Block Program in
partnership with Habitat for Humanity — corpus Christi.
Next step is to continue the purchase of vacant lots to build a larger inventory for the
Request for Proposals (RFP) for construction of affordable housing that wilt go out to
builders by the end of March 2008. Incentives and Housing Program dollars will be
used for Builders and Non-Profit Agencies to help buy down construction costs, such as
tap connections and construction permits, for the qualified buyer where permissible.
fLt!1e!shjps;
The start of bimonthly meetings with our MBP partners began in 200 7. Our partners
consist of lending institutions and non-profit raniains, which are collaborating with
us for program assistance, and implementing projects for the Model Block
neighborhood.
An example of an active partner is The Home Depot. During the month of April 2007,
The Home Depot selected six homes in the Model Block neighborhood; five were
painted and minor repairs were completed, and landscaping improvements, including
the planting of trees were addressed with the sixth property. The Home Depot staff
members along with other community volunteers participated in this project.
During the fall semester in 2006, Texas A &M University — Corpus Christi' Public
Administration Masters Studies Program partnered with the City of Corpus Christi by
supplying two interns to work with the Model Block Program; the City of corpus Christi
also hired an intern who selected to work in the Neighborhood Services Department
during the first three months of the internship. All three interns aided in the initial phase
of the Model Block Program.
This partnership was extended to the 2007 spring semester with an additional intern
from the university who assisted with the coordination and facilitation of neighborhood
meetings.

Projec,ts _ Nelatob9rhood Pri a Activities;
Another event which has proven to be extremely beneficial to the neighborhood is the
"Landlord Workshop." Property owners were briefed on Model Block Program details,
potential for their collaboration and support to make the Model Block a success, and
information regarding care of premise issuescode enforcement that the City is
undertaking that directly affects their property in this neighborhood.
Special Projects that are currently underway with the active participation of the resident
leaders is the selection of a "Yard of the Month," regularly scheduled clean -ups with the
Litter Critter, and beautification activities such as the Home Depot project. As a
"Neighborhood Pride Building" activity, the resident leaders are considering adopting a
new identity with a "special name" for this area that would better represent the rich and
proud heritage and strong potential of this established neighborhood.
Funding Resources:,
Our current funding includes HOME Funds in the amount of $55000O awarded at the
April 18, 2006 City Council Meeting, and 4A Board funds in the amount of $200,000
awarded at the November 14, 2006 City Council Meeting. Home Buyers Program,
Rehabilitation Programs, New Construction, etc. are various city Programs that are also
available for families who meet established HUD income guidelines.
On August 18, 2007, the city council approved $100,000 in Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG) funds from "reprogrammed" dollars. Although we have been
granted HOME and 4A funds, CDBG dollars designated for improvements ents will directly
benefit the residential occupants and is essential for the revitalization efforts of the
program. A large percentage of the structures in the MBP area are over 50 years old.
Neighborhood leaders are currently considering and prioritizing projects eligible for
CDBG funding to submit to Community Development for approval.
City of Corpus_ Christi Departments:
The teamwork the Model Block Program is developing with various city departments is
crucial. Besides the Neighborhood Services Department's Hot Shot Greg, the Solid
Waste Department's alliance is essential for clean up efforts, especially scheduled
projects. The working relationship with our Directive Patrol Offlcer DP is also
J
important. The DPO's support for our code officers when necessary, rapport with the
citizens, and the basic understanding of the program will also aid our efforts for a
successful outcome. We are also currently working with the Engineering Department
for our land acquisition process and the Parks and Recreation Department for the
possibility of developing small parks andlor green space for the Model Block
neighborhood.
N1P FY200I-2008 site Selection:
The City council has identified neighborhood revitalization as a continued priority goal
for the city of corpus Christi with the directive to enhance and expand the NIP and
Model Block Programs. As a part of that effort, the selection of three additional NIP
sites has been conducted for recommendation to be scheduled for the FY200 -too .
A selection committee made up of expert city representatives from the major
participating departments will present three recommended neighborhood sites at the
December 18, 2007 city council Meeting.

neighborhood support groups throughout the city for its efforts and accomplishments.
Support from the private sector is being offered through sponsorships and donations of
incentive gifts, home improvement materials, corporate volunteer teams, and a variety
of in -kind and product support that have provided added value to the NIP activities.
The NIP FY2007-2008 is scheduled to begin February 4, 2008. The NIP will continue to
strive to fulfill its Mission to improve the living conditions of our community by furthering

Development Services Process Injprovement Summary
Phase I
In 2004, the City contracted with Horizon Centre to provide an assessment of the City's newly created
Development Center, commonly onl referred to as the "One Stop Shop".
Several months of meeting with staff and stakeholders led to the completion of Phase 1, an initial tral ssessrnent
of the Development Services Center in September 2005. The overall theme of the improvements ments needed for a
successful Development Center was effective and efficient processes created by improving e system
"building blocks". Those "building blocks" include core business process improvements and
standardizations,
people interactions, technological improvements, regulatory framework , physical space, and organizational
niatronl
structure. (Figure 1)

Although, each "building block' is clearly interrelated to the others, management, with the consultants'
. � g � onsultnts
assistance, approached improvements in each block as resources were identified.
The first item to address was the clear definition of core business processes. It was determined that Corpus
Christi, like many other cities, was focused on an application based system, addressing
issues as they came
through at application rather than a project based system where a Project Manager addresses J g ses issues prior to
application submittal and continues facilitating the project to completion. This is commonly y referred to as
"cradle to grave ".
Phase 2 and 3 — The Operational Design
After the completion f the initial assessment, executive management contracted with Horizon . , � orrori Centre to
discuss the feasibility of project oriented system and its consequent esi n. City � Council unanimously
nouslr
approved Phase 2 and 3 for the construction of an operational design and pilot testing of the design. To date,
several areas have been designed, tested, modified, and reviewed. The J ro`ect management aspect g pest has
completed pilot testing and has been launched on a small scale as resources allowed. To date, two (2) project
Tanagers have been hired and are assisting customers with projects including complex platting, zoning, n, acrd
building issues. The project management approach is voluntary for the customer. As resources . � � sources are available,
all projects will be assigned a project manager to facilitate interaction with the City.

People Interactions
One of the first areas needing improvement was the block labeled "People Interactions". Up 2005,
management was meeting with the customer on their development projects and often not relaying critical
information to staff. Staff was often kept out of the information loop and that severely disrupted projects when
they were at critical processing junctures. This resulted in expensive time delays and frustration for the
customer and staff.
With the assistance of Horizon Centre, the City created a Staff Action Team composed of staff at all levels of
the city organization who worked as part of the development services review staff. In addition, a stakeholder
group already in place called the Development Services Advisory Group took a more prominent role in
creating a communication link with staff where issues could be discussed and resolved prior to escalation at
the City Manager's office. Lastly, a group was created for managers in the executive levels of the
organization who could provide input to staff and most importantly, listen, to the suggestions and ideas staff
was creating. This group was called the Staff Steering Committee.
The committees have been working closely since September of 2006 and have been instrumental in
developing some critical business processes improvement momentum.
Core Business Processes and Physical Space
Once the interaction between the customer and staff was improved, staff began the task of developing the
project based system. The first portion of the system was to develop the front counter staff and begin to
develop a project management culture within the organization, A six - month pilot was launched to determine
the effectiveness and feasibility of the project management system. The six month p
ilot exposed some
p
modifications to the design that were necessary and have been addressed, namely the identification of
technological resources, staff and monetary resources to launch the project full scale. in addition through the
piloting, it was clear that a significant systemwide cultural and attitude shift would need to occur in order for
the system to become fully project- orientated. It is anticipated that the project management approach roach will be
g
expanded into the Building Plan Review area for the next phase.
The front counter was reconfigured to allow residential and simple comrercial J ro'ects to be handled on a fist
p
come, first serve basis. These project types are referred to as Type A and B; Type A being the project
lest `
p
or permit type, often requested by the homeowner doing some renovation or remodel work and the permit
issued on the same visit. Type B is a little more complex and may require one (1) or more staff to review the
application. This type of project is often the simple commercial project and is also often issued on the same
day. This reconfiguration allowed for better customer flow and increased the volume we are able to process
in a given day.
Complex proj
an "ombudsman" to the customer assisting at every step of process. The implementation of the ect r
ro
p �
management system has been limited to complex project types due to staffing and other resource challenges.
However, any project is eligible for assistance as long as previous agreements are not in place. Currently, �` t y, two
(2) project managers are hired to handle complex or high profile project types. As stated above, the project
management system is expanding to Type C projects which will allow a Project Manager er to facilitate a
complex commercial or residential plan review and reduce the amount of time the ro ct is
p in process.
Organizational Structure
The newly created Process Improvement Division is led by a Process Improvement Manager. The Process .. ' r p g �-oces
Improvement Manager's key roles include facilitating implementation of the system design and also tr' v e for
f'r
continual improvements vements within the design as suggested by staff and stakeholders. Key staff at the front
counter area previously assigned to the Building Division has been reassigned to a Process Improvement
Division allowing managers and supervisors to share responsibility of customer service and workflow thus
making more efficient use of administrative staff. In addition, the newly created Project Manager positions
also report to this Division. One of the most critical changes has been the pgr ade of the Director of
Development Services to an Assistant City Manager level allowing critical decisions to be made quickly,
accurately, and decisively.
Technology
One of the most important issues raised by staff and stakeholders alike was the need for technological
improvements across division lines. Staff citied the need for easy access to recorded plats, plans, an
■ . � p and other
critical documents. The recent purchase of the Planning and Engineering module for the HTE system,
Visiflow document imaging, and CIS Looking Glass will allow staff to view information related to a ar
p cel or
project in a spatial format or view all of the documents associated with a project by the simple click of a
mouse.
Due to monetary and staff resources, full scale launch of the improvements will be limited to automating
g
information relating to future project applications. Plans for a fill scale conversion of all the documents with
with
the Development Services Department have not begun, However, the department has reorganized
. p some
administrative staff and created a Document Control area to begin critical indexing and preparation
of records
with the assistance of an outside vendor. The department expects a more complete and digitized records
management system than is currently available. In addition, as funding allows, the outsourcin g of the data
conversion can begin using outside resources.
Lastly, the department has met with stakeholder groups in the residential and commercial sectors resenti
l ng
the need for digital submittals of plans. The idea has been met with great enthusiasm by the stakeholder
der
groups. Staff has even received volunteers for a pilot project. Staff expects to have an ordinance amendment
to this council after pilot testing in the near future. Pilot testing is contingent upon and can begin after
successful installation of the VisiFlow
software.
Regulatory Framework
Customers and staff alike have asked for clear and consistent regulations, staff accountability, and
predictability in the development review process. This requires the establishment of a clear regulatory
ato
g ry
framework which is communicated to the customer and followed by staff as dictated in the ordinances. y ces, this
end, the City is in the process of finalizing Master Plans for Storm Water and Wastewater, as well as
3
finalizing the Unified Development Code which will combine the City's Zoning and Platting Ordinance into
one comprehensive document.
Cost of Service
As shown above, several resource limitations exist. As a Special Revenue Fund, the Development Center is
tasked with providing its own revenue stream to support its operations and to some extent, alleviate the need
for a General Fund subsidy. Staff has worked with Horizon Centre to develop a Cost of Service study which
will determine the cost of providing a particular service and its subsequent revenue stream. This approach is
different from the typical side by side city comparison many cities use to determine fees. This approach takes
into account the special circumstances or needs existing for the City of Corpus Christi. This study has assisted
staff and stakeholders alike in developing new approaches to providing a service as well as determining where
revenue shortfalls exist and take corrective action to address the deficit. To date several fees have been
adjusted to account for any revenue shortfalls. Staff and the DSAG are currently reviewing the Building
Operations revenue and work activity to determine what fee adjustments, if any, are required. The next area
scheduled for review is the Special Services, or subdivision and infrastructure area of the department.
Phase 4 — Implementation
Future plans for full scale implementation of the operational design will be limited to available resources. As
development continues to slow locally and nationwide, revenue activity has been down by more than 10% this
fiscal year alone. Future plans for implementation include the full scale Project Management approach for all
project types, the launch of the technological improvements, and future adoption and implementation of the
Master Plans and Unified Development Code.
Once the improvements are implemented, a measuring tool for success will be instituted. A draft performance
measurement program has been developed and has been incorporated into the Balanced Scorecard Initiative. It
will be used to some extent in January 2008 as part of this City -wide initiative. As we proceed toward full
scale improvements, the need for review of the measures will be frequent to ensure that we are indeed
measuring what is important to our customers, the public, and to the City.
