[14:50] -age, the number will nearly
[14:52] triple by 2050.

[14:54] approximately $10,000 annual,
[14:56] and it all remains in the

[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

[31:59] 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.

[53:36] the October 21st meeting for
[53:37] your consideration.

[54:13] agenda, which is items 4-7. [
[54:19] Roll call vote taken]

[54:59] resolution in support of the
[55:06] work plan for year two of the

[55:07] program.
[55:09] This work is in the form of

[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

[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] Title companies are.
[58:25] Those are the priorities of the
[58:25] council.
