[29:11] kind of a snip it of the

[29:13] statements that we have

[29:19] received at the public forum in

[29:19] June.

[29:21] And what this does is, the

[29:26] vision here is a healthy,

[29:27] thriving, well educated

[29:28] community that attracts people

[29:30] from all over the world.

[29:31] The health aspect, let's start

[29:34] with water of the city is full

[29:35] of job opportunities.

[29:39] We are a city that values

[29:41] divertty, opportunity, and

[29:41] partnership.

[29:46] A city that embraces the

[29:48] natural gifts, a revitalized

[29:50] downtown with mixed land uses.

[29:52] And a city that cares for the

[29:55] most vulnerable and where the

[29:57] ideas of charity, community,

[30:03] and citizenship are alive and

[30:03] well.

[30:06] The hot spot of the texas I

[30:08] have yaw yeah with a bus lane

[30:08] downtown.

[30:10] It is a city where places and

[30:12] people are connected.

[30:14] >> and this is what you have

[30:16] received to date, the input

[30:16] from the public.

[30:18] >> yes, those are the quotes

[30:24] from some of the personal

[30:28] vision statements received ws~in

[30:28] June.

[30:31] >> appreciate that.

[30:32] I appreciate your report.

[30:32] Ms. Mcintyre.

[30:35] >> Ms. Gunning, I really

[30:36] appreciate your setting the

[30:38] district een together on

[30:39] different evening instead of

[30:42] the same evening this time.

[30:46] I think it will be better for

[30:46] people.

[30:48] So thank you.

[30:50] >> thank you, Ms. Mcintyre.

[30:50] Mr. Magill.

[30:54] >> thank you, can we go back to

[30:54] slide three real quick?

[30:56] Is there a way to, I know it is

[30:58] maybe a little late, but is

[31:00] there a way to actually have an

[31:02] open house in district three?

[31:03] Because it is right on the

[31:10] corner, and it is in district

[31:10] two.

[31:14] Maybe the location [Inaudible

[31:16] -<.Plow volume]. The mcdonald

[31:17] library is in two.

[31:20] So if we can look into that, I

[31:23] think into the be helpful.

[31:27] Especially partnering with the

[31:27] school district.

[31:28] >> thank you, Mr. Magill.

[31:29] Thank you, Ms. Gunning.

[31:36] We are going to move to public

[31:36] comment, Mr. Olson.

[31:38] If anyone wants to come to

[31:48] public comment, state your name

[31:53] and your address, please.

[31:56] Mr. Pierce.

[31:57] >> %+q

[31:57] q

[31:59] trqrce, 39 camden

[31:59] place.

[32:02] It is only approachuate that

[32:02] any -- appropriate that any

[32:04] property that is part of the

[32:06] city have the proper features

[32:08] that a city provides, it is

[32:14] just police protection, fire

[32:18] protection, emergency medical

[32:18] services, solid waste

[32:19] collection services.

[32:21] and those would be something

[32:29] that any part of the city

[32:30] should be entitled to.

[32:31] With the annexation of new

[32:33] land, it actually falls that

[32:36] the types of services, or

[32:37] those, that, people living in

[32:39] the residences would be

[32:40] entitled to that.

[32:43] Having said that, one thing

[32:46] that came to our attention is

[32:49] that the address of the

[32:51] increased costs of the services

[32:53] to the former, or the

[33:02] residences of the city prior to

[33:03] contention that the above

[33:06] resolution, which is regarding

[33:07] the funding of utility improve.

[33:13] S on the south side, if m2 444

[33:14] with property fax taxes from-

[33:15] -property taxes from the area,

[33:17] which was passed here on the

[33:20] 14th, that it was passed

[33:23] illegally as it fails to meet

[33:24] the standard for acceptable

[33:26] public notice under the texas

[33:29] open meetings act section 7,

[33:33] you know, the various notice

[33:33] requirements.

[33:34] Those, for example, a

[33:36] government body must give the

[33:38] public advance notice of at

[33:40] subjects they are going to

[33:41] consider in open meeting.

[33:42] The notice has to appraise the

[33:46] public of the subject toss be

[33:47] considered during the meeting.

[33:49] And government actions taken in

[33:50] violation of the notice

[33:54] requirements of the act are

[33:55] avoidable.

[33:57] The resolution was passed

[33:59] without reading or attachment

[34:00] to the written agenda made

[34:01] available to the public,

[34:04] denying the measure to raise

[34:07] the taxes, or the tax burden on

[34:08] those that are not annexed in

[34:13] recorder to provide the

[34:14] services without any revenue.

[34:15] neighbors first request that

[34:20] the city attorney rule in his

[34:21] writing, whether the passage

[34:22] mutes the requirements under

[34:24] the texas open meetings act.

[34:26] We also request that if the

[34:27] city attorney finds that it

[34:30] does not meet the requirements

[34:32] that the adoption of the

[34:38] resolution and be voided and

[34:45] resubmitted for a vote.

[34:45] Thank you.

[34:50] >> thank you, Mr. Pierce.

[34:50] Mr. Loeb.

[34:53] >> I made a motion to place it

[34:56] on a future agenda and it was,

[34:58] is that correct?

[34:59] >> the funding resolution?

[35:02] >> the funding resolution was

[35:02] approved.

[35:03] >> right.

[35:04] And it was properly posted?

[35:10] >> and it was properly posted.

[35:11] >> okay.

[35:12] We have, Mr. Olson, we have a

[35:13] page up on the website that

[35:15] talks about the cost of the

[35:18] service plan and what the

[35:19] service plan is?

[35:20] >> yes, sir.

[35:20] >> okay.

[35:32] What is the cost of the service

[35:32] extension?

[35:34] >> stretching my memory just a

[35:38] little bit, Mr. Loeb, I think

[35:39] phase one costs are about $13

[35:39] million.

[35:43] >> okay, and what is the

[35:43] estimated tax revenue?

[35:44] >> about 20 million.

[35:46] >> so the ref knew is higher

[35:48] than -- so the revenue is higher

[35:49] than expenses?

[35:54] >> yes, and it should not cost

[35:58] anybody who is currently paying

[35:58] taxes, correct?

[35:59] >> that is correct.

[36:01] >> thank you.

[36:03] >> is there anyone else?

[36:04] Yes, sir.

[36:07] >> mayor, council, I am jimmy

[36:07] dobson.

[36:08] I spoke here last week.

[36:15] I would like to ask the council

[36:17] to reconsider their annexation

[36:17] move.

[36:19] I am impacted by your decision

[36:20] because the decision that you

[36:23] made is going to make it

[36:26] expensive for us to operate

[36:28] welcome city codes, rules,

[36:29] ordnances, regulations, and

[36:29] more.

[36:30] And I also want to ask you to

[36:35] reconsider based on the fact

[36:36] that the etj, or the

[36:38] jurisdiction that the cities

[36:41] are allowed to have is put

[36:43] there by the legislature and it

[36:45] is put there for the benefit of

[36:46] the city and also for the folks

[36:49] of the county to know where the

[36:51] reach of the city's understand

[36:51] nuance is.

[36:54] And in your move, you formed a

[36:59] q tip and now you are annexing

[37:00] area outside of the etj, and

[37:02] have plans to double that, I

[37:04] think, or make a phase two.

[37:08] This is a trend based on

[37:10] property rights, it is a

[37:11] disturbing trend because people

[37:14] in the county don't know what

[37:15] the definition of areas that

[37:17] you consider part of the

[37:17] community are.

[37:20] I think that is what the letter

[37:20] said.

[37:23] And so I would like the council

[37:23] to define the community.

[37:26] I would also like the council

[37:29] to have master plans for the

[37:29] items.

[37:31] None of the area that you have

[37:33] annexed as a master plan and

[37:36] none of the area in the etj

[37:38] that I am familiar with as a

[37:38] master plan.

[37:42] Right now it is by paint ball

[37:44] and it is not very effective.

[37:45] it is not orderly or

[37:45] predictable.

[37:47] It is going to result in a

[37:49] community that is scattered and

[37:49] not planned.

[37:53] I would like to have a

[37:58] community that feels more like

[37:58] plano.

[37:59] I would like for it to look

[38:00] like a place that I would want

[38:03] to live and the people want to

[38:03] come to.

[38:06] I think that the master plan

[38:07] also ignores the 30,000-acres

[38:10] that are not part of the wind

[38:10] farm.

[38:12] That is a pretty big area to

[38:12] grow.

[38:15] If you look at the etj and you

[38:17] look at that 30,000-acres which

[38:20] does not consider the king

[38:22] ranch, which has 480,000-acres

[38:24] joining the city right now,

[38:26] there is plenty of room for

[38:29] corpus christi to grow into the

[38:33] next 200 years unless the

[38:34] growth rate accelerates

[38:34] crazily.

[38:36] And no one in the city has to

[38:37] pay the tax revenue.

[38:38] That means it is all coming

[38:41] from the owners that you seem

[38:45] to not care about, this the

[38:46] plan is punitive.

[38:46] You have drawn it around

[38:47] everyone out there except the

[38:50] people that are in the wind

[38:50] farm.

[38:52] The only exception to that is

[38:54] that q tip, you had to get 500

[38:57] feet so it would all connect.

[39:00] This is a texas two-step that

[39:02] is not very attractive from a

[39:04] rural standpoint and we would

[39:05] like some clarity.

[39:05] Thank you.

[39:06] >> thank you, if I can ask you

[39:16] to remember to state your name

[39:16] an address, please.

[39:18] >> [Inaudible-low volume]

[39:20] 3621 austin.

[39:21] I would like to re-enforce what

[39:22] Mr. Pierce said.

[39:26] I think first of all, the

[39:28] resolution specifies that the

[39:31] money will go into the

[39:31] infrastructure fund.

[39:33] That does not pay for other

[39:37] services that are extended to

[39:37] the area.

[39:39] So, the struck sister that has

[39:41] been widely repeated here that

[39:43] the $13 million is to pay for

[39:46] the water and the sewer lines

[39:49] to go down to 24 and 44.

[39:53] That does not pay for police,

[39:55] fire, waste management, or

[39:55] other services.

[40:00] That will come out of the

[40:00] general fund.

[40:01] That rep represents an increase

[40:03] in cost to the general fund and

[40:07] to the taxpayers that was not

[40:10] identified in a resolution.

[40:13] It was not mentioned on 9/16.

[40:16] It was not discussed on 9/30.

[40:19] Nor was the printed version of

[40:22] the resolution in the agenda,

[40:25] or in the minutes, either 9/30

[40:27] or 10/14 when it was passed.

[40:31] Now, the fact that this results

[40:34] in an increase in taxpayers and

[40:39] costs, was not notified to

[40:39] public.

[40:41] The public hearings were held

[40:43] before the resolution was

[40:43] brought up.

[40:45] So there was not a chance for

[40:47] the public to discuss or have

[40:50] input on to the costs that were

[40:51] being put on them.

[40:54] Therefore, the notice fails.

[40:57] And we are prepared to pursue

[40:57] that.

[40:58] So I would ask you to consider

[41:01] it in light of the additional

[41:02] information along with the

[41:05] letter, and review the texas

[41:08] code at the meetings.

[41:08] Thank you.

[41:10] >> thank you, Mr. Kelly.

[41:10] Mr. Loeb.

[41:13] >> Mr. Olson, just to be clear,

[41:15] the $13.3 million is the cost

[41:21] of the entire service plan,

[41:26] which includes all city

[41:27] services, correct?

[41:28] >> Mr. Pearson --

[41:32] >> yes, I think that is

[41:33] essentially true, Mr. Loeb.

[41:37] The primary cost is, as Mr.

[41:40] Kelly said, for infra-

[41:43] stuckture, that is the new-

[41:43] -infrastructure.

[41:46] The basic service plan that we

[41:48] have initiated assumes that

[41:50] city services will be extended

[41:56] to the new service area.

[41:59] Police, for example, will

[42:02] respond given their current

[42:02] beats and staffings.

[42:08] Medical will come from existing

[42:09] stations and existing

[42:09] locations.

[42:13] Solid waste is a fee based

[42:13] operation.

[42:17] So, as people get service, stay

[42:19] will pay for it, in the area,

[42:20] just like they would here.

[42:25] So the service plan does not

[42:28] anticipate the addition of, at

[42:33] this point in time, of any new

[42:35] staffing and therefore, any new

[42:35] expenses.

[42:38] Is that because the development

[42:40] that is predicted to happen

[42:42] within the area is wind

[42:44] turbines rather than housing?

[42:47] >> well, it assumes that, the

[42:49] basic population that exists

[42:51] there now.

[42:52] Now as the population increases

[42:53] overtime, I am sure that

[42:57] service plan is going have to

[42:57] change.

[43:00] But, it assumes [Inaudible-

[43:01] low volume]

[43:02] >> okay.

[43:02] Okay.

[43:02] Thank you.

[43:06] >> thank you, particular loeb

[43:08] and particular olson.

[43:08] -- Mr.

[43:10] Loeb and Mr. Olson.

[43:12] >> you said $20 million in

[43:15] revenue and $13 million in

[43:15] expenditures, approximately.

[43:18] And based on what we talked

[43:21] about on the 14th, any revenue

[43:23] above the service is going

[43:23] whether?

[43:24] >> to the general fund.

[43:27] >> which operates all of the

[43:29] other programs, other than

[43:30] those such as waste, water, and

[43:31] things like that.

[43:31] Thank you.

[43:36] >> thank you for the

[43:36] clarifications.

[43:40] Anyone else here for public

[43:40] comment?

[43:44] >> [Inaudible-low volume]

[43:44] 4710 haeckel.

[43:46] We are assuming a lot of

[43:47] things, aren't we?

[43:49] There are a lot of assumptions

[43:51] going on but the tax burden you

[43:52] are going to put on is going to

[43:54] be on the people, no matter

[43:55] which way you try to hide it.

[43:57] It is going to be on the

[43:59] people, just like you had a

[44:01] report recently that we have

[44:04] two of the busiest fire

[44:07] stations in the nation, and

[44:09] yet, you are still saying when

[44:12] it grows, we will build fire

[44:12] station 18.

[44:14] But you have not made

[44:14] provisions for it.

[44:16] You have not done what you need

[44:18] to do, and what is your duty to

[44:18] do.

[44:22] It is to take care of the

[44:22] people.

[44:23] You are refuse together build

[44:25] fire station 18 and say we will

[44:27] do it some time in the future.

[44:29] It is going to be like the

[44:30] streets?

[44:31] 100 years from now, 90 years

[44:35] from now, you will take a look

[44:36] at it?

[44:37] That is really something that

[44:40] is not acceptable to the

[44:41] citizens of corpus christi.

[44:44] The fact that you are not

[44:45] willing to take the

[44:46] responsibility that you were

[44:49] elected to take, which is take

[44:52] care of the citizens of corpus

[44:52] christi.

[44:53] When you say that they give you

[44:57] a letter, oh, but we did.

[44:58] We took care of everything.

[44:59] But they give you proof in

[45:02] writing and you are not willing

[45:03] to accept it.

[45:04] My question to each of you is

[45:07] when are you going to be

[45:09] willing to accept the will of

[45:10] the people?

[45:13] We tell you that it was not

[45:14] acceptable, you gave all sorts

[45:16] of excuses of how you are troy

[45:18] to go protect us.

[45:18] There is a hurricane coming and

[45:20] we won't be able to tell you

[45:21] what to do.

[45:23] It is our duty to protect you.

[45:26] Who is protecting us from you

[45:26] all?

[45:30] That is my question.

[45:31] Who is protecting the citizens

[45:33] and the taxpayers of this

[45:34] community?

[45:34] We are tired.

[45:36] We are very tired of what is

[45:38] going on in the city.

[45:41] And I am sure there will be

[45:42] people out here defending you,

[45:45] of how great a job you are

[45:46] doing.

[45:47] But if you look, you,

[45:48] yourselves know the truth of

[45:52] what you are doing to the

[45:56] citizens of corpus christi.

[45:56] Thank you.

[45:57] >> thank you.

[45:57] Mr. Alain sow.

[46:00] >> [Inaudible] Yes, there are

[46:02] going to be people here saying

[46:04] what a good job you are doing.

[46:04] Maybe not a great job.

[46:08] I am [Inaudible] I live at

[46:10] 1701 [Inaudible]. You know, I

[46:11] am glad, council member loeb,

[46:14] &mzhat you are start together

[46:14] respond and clarifying the

[46:17] allegations that are coming

[46:18] before you guys.

[46:19] It is an election year.

[46:21] You guys are going to be set

[46:23] aside no matter what you do.

[46:26] No patter what you do.

[46:27] -- no matter what you do.

[46:30] [Inaudible-heavy accent]

[46:31] Do you remember that?

[46:32] Do you remember that?

[46:36] Well, they said I am willing to

[46:37] pay taxes.

[46:39] I am willing to.

[46:40] You know?

[46:41] You know, I keep say together

[46:44] you guys, there is three sides

[46:46] to every story, there are is

[46:47] your side, my side, and the

[46:47] physical abuses.

[46:50] And the facts need to -- and

[46:53] the fabs.

[46:54] And the fact -- and the facts.

[46:59] And the fabs need to come -- and

[47:01] the facts need to come out.

[47:06] Every time you do not resound,

[47:07] respond -- respond, the very few

[47:08] people believe it is the truth.

[47:10] They believe it is the truth.

[47:12] Now I know, mayor and council

[47:14] members that you cannot respond

[47:16] to the public.

[47:19] But the city manager can.

[47:20] The city attorney can.

[47:24] With the truth, again, some

[47:25] allegations again.

[47:25] It is now.

[47:27] They want to respond next week,

[47:29] I am hoping they are.

[47:32] You know, they need to put all

[47:34] of this to bed and rest.

[47:38] Remember, there are a lot of

[47:39] people here supporting

[47:44] annexation, willing to pay

[47:44] taxes.

[47:48] Now $13 million, and then you

[47:50] are going to get $20 million in

[47:50] re knew.

[47:51] That is not -- revenue, that is

[47:52] not bad at all.

[47:53] And to talk about fire station

[47:56] 18, the money is there and it

[47:58] is going to be built when it is

[48:00] negligence that money is not

[48:04] going to -- when it is needed,

[48:06] that money is not going to be

[48:06] spent.

[48:07] Now you are trying to run the

[48:09] city in a great way, you know,

[48:10] you are not going to win no

[48:14] matter what you do with the

[48:14] people.

[48:17] So all I am saying, be truthful

[48:26] to the public and let the

[48:31] public decide.

[48:32] Thank you.

[48:39] >> thank you.

[48:39] Mr. Escobaro.

[48:48] >> mayor, city council, I

[48:50] ambush escobaro.

[48:51] 3902 scar toga.

[48:56] Over two mayors ago, the mayor,

[48:58] henry garrett, made a very

[49:00] profound statement.

[49:02] He said that the most important

[49:07] goal that he had, he was going

[49:09] to pursue in his next term was

[49:11] to make sure that the toilets

[49:11] flushed.

[49:13] I don't know if you all

[49:14] remember that or not.

[49:19] Even back then, he was talking

[49:21] about our infrastructure.

[49:24] Never has the wisdom of that

[49:26] statement been more true than

[49:28] to date.

[49:30] And still do not get it.

[49:35] Any time you can come up with

[49:36] another die version other than-

[49:38] -diversion other than if I

[49:39] canning our streets and

[49:42] infrastructure, you will do so.

[49:46] the history goes further back

[49:49] than across town commons, the

[49:51] baseball stadium, america bank

[49:54] center, the arena, destination

[49:56] bay front, and now the

[49:56] annexation.

[49:58] All of these add more tax

[50:00] dollars to our billion dollar

[50:01] street problem.

[50:03] And I think of all of these,

[50:06] the best example I can site for

[50:10] this issue that has come up is

[50:11] probably the cross town

[50:12] commons.

[50:14] At that time, you are talking

[50:17] about a shopping center on the

[50:21] outskirts of town verses an

[50:24] existing mall, which is now [

[50:28] Inaudible-low volume], be if

[50:39] you all had taken action,

[50:39] whatever the reason was.

[50:41] Oh, yes, it is always good to

[50:43] take many in more and more land

[50:45] but it is going to take tax

[50:47] dollars, number one, to pursue

[50:48] that.

[50:51] Number two, you have the

[50:55] infield, just like you have

[50:57] staples mall to take care of

[50:58] first, because they were paying

[51:03] taxes to a mall that was not in

[51:03] town yet.

[51:05] Now you are looking at taking

[51:07] in more land which is going

[51:09] take more investment on the

[51:11] part of the city where you

[51:12] already have, you have the

[51:14] infield that has not been taken

[51:18] care of yet.

[51:20] That should be your priority.

[51:24] And your priority is the

[51:24] infrastructure.

[51:25] Again, every time you come one

[51:27] a new issue, such as the

[51:31] destination bay front, now the

[51:32] annexation, you are putting

[51:35] this ahead of taking care of

[51:37] your b,

[51:39] responsibilities which is

[51:40] your infrastructure.

[51:41] thank you.

[51:43] >> thank you.

[51:46] Is there anyone else here for

[51:46] public comment.

[51:48] Okay, now we are going to move

[51:52] back to the second item on the

[51:54] city manager's report.

[51:55] Mr. Olson?

[51:56] Thank you, mayor.

[51:58] Just and informational item on

[52:00] the montgomery ward building

[52:00] downtown.

[52:03] Many years ago, the city

[52:05] entered into a, I am not sure

[52:09] what to call it, a deal where

[52:11] the city leased, rented, had an

[52:15] option on that building, and it

[52:18] was used to promote development

[52:18] downtown.

[52:20] During the past six months, the

[52:24] city has taken ownership on

[52:24] that structure.

[52:28] And we are now able to move air

[52:37] head -- move ahead and ask for

[52:41] pro.Sals -- proposals, which we

[52:44] will do before November 10th.

[52:49] That hopefully it will help

[52:51] promote the continued re

[52:52] development of the downtown.

[52:54] And I just wanted the council

[52:55] to understand that we are doing

[52:58] that and if you have need for

[53:00] further details, you can

[53:02] contact me and get them prior

[53:03] to November 10th.

[53:05] >> thank you, Mr. Olson.

[53:07] It is good to hear we are

[53:07] moving forward on that.

[53:08] Mr. Scott.

[53:09] >> I just want to make sure

[53:12] that the d and d is involved in

[53:12] all of this.

[53:15] That it is part of the, that

[53:15] they are engaged.

[53:18] >> we will make sure that they

[53:18] are.

[53:22] I think they have been up until

[53:22] this point.

[53:23] >> thank you, Mr. Scott.

[53:26] And thank you, particular

[53:26] olson.

[53:27] We are -- particular olson.

[53:27] -- Mr.

[53:27] Olson.

[53:31] minutes, Ms. Huerta.

[53:36] the October 21st meeting for

[53:37] your consideration.

[53:38] >> do I have a motion?

[54:03] Ms. Huerta.

[54:08] >> for passage of the consent

[54:13] agenda, which is items 4-7. [

[54:19] Roll call vote taken]

[54:19] >> the consent agenda passes.

[54:29] finish all of the regular

[54:32] agenda items eight and nine,

[54:59] resolution in support of the

[55:06] work plan for year two of the

[55:07] street preventive maintenance

[55:07] program.

[55:09] This work is in the form of

[55:10] overlay or treatment to streets

[55:25] construction to start in early

[55:25] 2015.

[55:57] >> how much money is this?

[56:40] All right, I just want to point

[56:42] out to everyone who is

[56:47] watching, we just had a couple

[56:51] of folks whine at us and the

[56:52] next item is us spending $13

[56:55] million on roads that we didn't

[56:56] spend two years ago.

[56:59] That this council voted on and

[57:04] those folks made their public

[57:08] comment, walked up, and left.

[57:11] So, if they are really

[57:12] concerned about this, ask why

[57:59] whatever improve.

[58:02] S you have are long overdue.

[58:03] The maintenance program is long

[58:04] overdue and it is not enough.

[58:07] It is not enough of what you

[58:07] are doing.

[58:10] And we standby what we say, the

[58:12] infrastructure is not what it

[58:13] should be.

[58:17] It is not the priority with the

[58:19] council, but developments are,

[58:20] real estate is.

[58:20] Title companies are.

[58:25] Those are the priorities of the

[58:25] council.

[58:26] So, thank you for the little

[58:28] bit that you are giving us.
