T. CORPUS CHRISTI CONSTRUCTION TRADE ADVISORY AND APPEAL BOARD
APPEAL (ITEM 19)
19. City Council consideration of an appeal of Vargo Plumbing & Utilities
Plumbing Contractor's six-month suspension of City plumbing
contractor's registration upheld by the Corpus Christi Construction Trade
Advisory and Appeal Board on September 17, 2020.
Mayor McComb deviated from the agenda and referred to Item 19.
Mayor McComb stated that the purpose of today's appeal is for City Council's
consideration of an appeal of Vargo Plumbing & Utilities Plumbing Contractor's
six-month suspension of City plumbing contractor's registration upheld by the
Corpus Christi Construction Trade Advisory and Appeal Board on September
17, 2020. He said the Council can determine if they want to deny the appeal,
modify the Board's decision or set aside the suspension.
a. Assistant City Attorney Buck Brice presented the statement of facts. He said
the City Council may deny the appeal, modify the Board's decision or set aside
the Board's decision; and staff and the Construction Trade Advisory and Appeal
Board support the six-month suspension.
b. Appellant's Oral Presentation of Written Notice of Appeal. Mr. Federico
Vargas, the appellant, stated that: the work that was done was not under
Vargo Plumbing & Utilities, it was under personal property; he bought the
property to build a warehouse; the City told him it was a commercial
residential, not a commercial industrial; money was already invested on the
property, so he made a mistake by not pulling a permit; and the suspension
will affect about 40 to 50 of his employees.
Council Members, Mr. Vargas and Building Official with Development Services
Gene Delauro discussed the following topics: Mr. Vargas has been a
contractor for 11 years; the suspension does not take effect until the appeal
process is completed; the cost of the permits would be based on the evaluation
of the buildings and the square footage, which has not been established; and
the estimated cost of the permit is $2,000 to $3,000.
c. City Staff Response. Building Official Delauro presented information on the
City of Corpus Christi Page 8 Printed on 11/5/2020
City Council
Meeting Minutes October 27, 2020
following topics: the reason for the suspension is that people have moved into
and occupied these buildings without proper permits, which is a safety hazard;
work without a permit is a problem for the community; and these buildings are
not on the tax rolls.
d. Council Action. Council Members and Building Official Delauro discussed
the following topics: permits represent a set of plans that City staff can review;
City staff and engineers do periodic inspections; sealed drawings indicate that
a qualified engineer designed the building to make sure it is safe for the
public; the challenge is not knowing whether or not this building meets
building regulations; there are health and safety issues of the building; the
suspension would not affect any permit that has already been issued; and the
effective date of the suspension would begin today and would end on April 6,
2021.
There were no comments from the public.
Mayor McComb made a motion to uphold the six-month suspension of City
plumbing contractor's registration upheld by the Corpus Christi Construction
Trade Advisory and Appeal Board on September 17, 2020, seconded by Council

Topic low -barrier drop-in homeless shelter
Agenda Number 11
Describe Feedback: The City of Corpus Christi has experienced an
increase in the homeless population and we do
need to address the issue. Many who are currently
homeless do not go to existing shelters due to the
violence, drug use, and theft that occur in
them. We must ask how much would the above
increase in a low -barrier drop-in homeless shelter?
For best results each person needs to be evaluated
as an individual to discover what will best help that
person. Rapid Rehousing, Permanent Supportive

Housing and Family Reunification have had success
in other areas. I believe the funds would be better
spent in these programs instead of a low -barrier
drop-in homeless shelter which encourages
members of our community to continue to live a life
at a much lower standard than their best.
While I applaud the city staff for working towards a
solution. 1 do not believe this is it. For the safety of
our residence and the homeless I urge the City
Council to vote no on the low -barrier drop-in
homeless shelter

LOW BARRIER HOMELESS SHELTER

1 want to voice my opposition to ANY low barrier
homeless shelters in Flour Bluff or Corpus
Christi. We have to fight to keep these VAGRANTS
off our streets. They choose to be homeless. They
live in camps in the bushes and feed and clothe
from Timons Ministries. They are druggies, drunks
and thieves. It is a non ending battle. They support
their habits by stealing and begging. Our
community is slowly coming to be safe for our
families and the CHILDREN. This low barrier shelter
