[13:30] We are still all working on
[13:32] this together and we will try
[13:36] to reduce the amount together.
[13:37] The mission of this partnership
[13:39] is to encourage support for the
[13:46] homeless, assistant service
[13:48] providers, and spotlight, who
[13:48] are committed to feeding,
[13:49] sheltering and providing

[15:04] >> anything we can also help
[15:05] with as far as job and health
[15:05] and placement services, that
[15:06] something that we feel could
[15:07] make them productive parts of
[15:11] our community, but we also have
[15:14] jobs that are very high-profile
[15:15] issues, and I don't think
[15:19] there's any one person on this
[15:19] council or anyone in the city
[15:22] that doesn't feel the
[15:22] compassion.
[15:28] We will make it better
[15:28] together.

[15:37] but we will certainly never

[16:59] going to move forward with our
[17:00] item number -- we hope you
[17:15] feel better, david.
[17:20] I will move forward to city
[17:24] manager comments.
[17:24] Esther olson?
[17:25] >> mayor, there is one issue
[17:25] that I would like to mention
[17:28] this morning and that is that
[17:29] we are about to get our
[17:33] operation heat help program
[17:34] which is a program where people
[17:35] who qualify can
[17:41] receive assistance for part of
[17:42] their utility bills for natural
[17:43] gas help during the winter.
[17:45] I do want to mention that
[17:50] applications and guidelines are
[17:55] available at the noesis
[17:56] department of
[17:57] human services office and those
[18:01] will be excepted beginning on
[18:04] December 1 through March 13.
[18:08] So if we have people in our
[18:12] community who need assistance
[18:13] with their heat bills and
[18:13] utilities, that's how they can
[18:15] go about getting it.

[27:34] interpret that section to be
[27:35] the portion of the council

[31:03] Any opposed?
[31:03] Motion carries.
[31:04] Anyone from the public have a
[31:10] comment on item number 25?
[31:10] Motion to close.
[31:15] I have a motion and a second.
[31:19] All in favor, all opposed?
[31:19] Motion carries.
[31:20] >> for passage of ordinance
[31:22] number 25 on its first reading,
[31:31] [Roll call].
[31:32] The ordinance passes.
[31:37] >> thank you.
[31:37] Item number 26.
[31:40] >> mayor and council members,
[31:42] julio by demons the development
[31:42] services.
[31:44] Item 26 is the rezoning request
[31:47] for the landowners anthony and
[31:48] janel sure.
[31:52] You rezone three or acres of
[31:53] vacant land parcel that is
[31:56] located behind an existing
[31:57] taxidermy business at 2645 rock
[32:00] hill road which is currently
[32:00] owned by the applicant.
[32:04] The property is currently zoned
[32:09] neighborhood commercial and the
[32:10] landowners are requesting to
[32:10] rezone to a single-family
[32:11] district.
[32:11] The purpose is to allow them to
[32:13] build a single family home
[32:16] behind their existing business.
[32:21] Although inconsistent with the
[32:22] land use, it would serve as the
[32:22] buffer between the existing
[32:27] business and the rest of the
[32:28] neighborhood.
[32:28] As such, the planning
[32:29] commission and staff are
[32:29] recommending approval of this
[32:31] zoning at this point.
[32:32] If there are any questions, I
[32:37] would be happy to answer those
[32:37] at this time.
[32:37] >> thank you.
[32:39] May I have a motion to open up
[32:39] the public hearing?
[32:45] I have a motion and a second.
[32:45] Is there any discussion?
[32:46] All in favor?
[32:50] Any opposed?
[32:56] Motion carries.
[32:58] Item number 26?
[33:03] >> it looks like there is
[33:03] someone with public comment.
[33:23] >> okay, come on forward.
[33:24] >> I have pictures if you want
[33:25] to pass that around.
[33:25] >> sure, and if you could move
[33:26] the microphone for June and
[33:26] state your name and address?
[33:29] >> bob pfeiffer, 7123 tremont.
[33:29] I'm a member of the foxfire
[33:30] condominium group and also on
[33:34] the board of directors of the
[33:34] group,
[33:40] which is 76 76 owned units and
[33:48] I'd like to speak for the
[33:49] board, also.
[33:56] >> and I have some comments
[34:00] also.
[34:01] We received notification of the
[34:04] request for the change, and we
[34:09] received comments from some of
[34:10] the
[34:10] owners, because 76 of them all
[34:15] received the same notification
[34:15] of the rezoning.
[34:16] The biggest thing we have from
[34:17] the owners is confusion because
[34:20] we can't tell what's happening
[34:20] here.
[34:21] This is an attempt to take part
[34:23] of a commercially zoned
[34:26] property and take about 280
[34:29] feet, the narrow section on the
[34:30] side, to get to the back and
[34:34] expanded in the back to build a
[34:34] house back there.
[34:37] I wouldn't think it would be a
[34:41] normal rezoning request, so we
[34:44] are going to object to the
[34:44] rezoning at this time.
[34:49] >> we can get clarification for
[34:50] you because if I heard you
[34:51] correctly, you said you were
[34:51] unclear?
[34:56] The mac we were unclear because
[34:57] number one, does it meet the
[35:01] zoning requirements?
[35:02] Is the zoning assistant of
[35:05] corpus christi, thumbprints of,
[35:09] does it meet the unified
[35:14] developing
[35:20] code, and how will they
[35:21] determine if there's any
[35:21] violation of the corpus christi
[35:22] ordinances before the zoning
[35:23] request is considered?
[35:23] Based on that, we feel like
[35:24] their needs to be more
[35:30] information presented to us.
[35:31] They're is a site plan in there
[35:32] but you can't really tell where
[35:32] the house will be located or
[35:33] what size it is.
[35:33] We don't know if it will be on
[35:34] the rezoned area or not.
[35:40] Also, when you go from a
[35:40] commercial to a residential,
[35:41] the setbacks would change from
[35:45] 10 feet on the side and the
[35:46] back to 5 feet so that would
[35:51] put it closer to our property.
[35:52] I think we might agree with the
[35:56] rezoning if we have more
[35:56] information.
[35:57] So if you could table this,
[35:57] possibly?
[36:01] >> well emma that May be a
[36:08] possibility, but this is a
[36:09] public hearing, and I do
[36:09] appreciate you being here
[36:10] asking these very valid
[36:16] questions, and we will give
[36:17] them an opportunity to address
[36:17] those questions.
[36:18] You can stay at the podium just
[36:21] in case you have additional
[36:24] questions as he answers your
[36:25] current questions.
[36:25] >> I believe the first question
[36:26] was whether the proposed a lot
[36:35] meet the requirement for the
[36:35] district.
[36:36] The answer is yes, the property
[36:37] has been planted as a single
[36:37] lot, so it's two separate lots
[36:39] currently, one is the business
[36:39] and then the residential which
[36:42] is the subject property today
[36:53] which is already a platted lot.
[36:57] So does meet the requirement.
[36:58] The other was does the zoning
[36:59] meet the competence of plan?
[36:59] Right now, that was part of the
[37:00] report that we said is not
[37:09] consistent with the future land
[37:09] use.
[37:10] The future land-use called to
[37:11] be neighborhood commercial, but
[37:11] as we look at it it now creates
[37:13] a buffer, which typically, soa
[37:13] zoning start off.
[37:15] It's a major street.
[37:16] We have residential and then
[37:20] either single-family or multi
[37:21] family, and we progress back.
[37:24] So this new zoning create a
[37:24] buffer between the commercial
[37:27] lot and anything behind it.
[37:37] Then also, does it meet the
[37:37] udc?
[37:38] Yes, it does meet the
[37:38] requirements and the applicant
[37:39] has already submitted their
[37:39] building primary for the
[37:40] residential, which is simply
[37:44] waiting on the rezoning
[37:44] process.
[37:45] So the home they are proposing
[37:49] does meet all the requirements
[37:49] already.
[37:54] >> I received an e-mail from
[37:54] jesse hernandes, is he in your
[37:55] department?
[37:58] >> yes he is.
[37:59] Pay period he said yesterday
[38:00] that the plan had not been
[38:00] submitted.
[38:07] >> they have submitted it and I
[38:07] apologize that there was
[38:11] confusion on themalso, I sent
[38:19] an e-mail to Councilman,
[38:20] although he replied, I guess he
[38:22] is out of the country.
[38:25] It would be nice if you could
[38:26] be here for this.
[38:33] >> for your questions answered?
[38:33] >> well, not really.
[38:34] Have you seen the actual
[38:34] description of the property
[38:38] that's being rezoned?
[38:39] It's very strange.
[38:39] 280feet is a very narrow piece
[38:42] that goes back and expands in
[38:42] the back.
[38:44] Behind the existing commercial
[38:47] piece of property, which as you
[38:52] can see in the pictures, --
[38:56] >> if you could bring up that
[38:57] picture he is speaking to, and
[39:01] explain the process, that would
[39:02] be helpful.
[39:02] >> I'm not sure that we can go
[39:09] to the other aerial photograph.
[39:12] >>> okay, it's kind of hard to
[39:13] see on the aerial, but I think
[39:19] what he is referring to is,
[39:19] this is a large commercial lot
[39:20] right here.
[39:22] What the applicant has done is,
[39:30] this shaded area behind it has
[39:30] been platted as a separate lot
[39:34] and there's an extension of
[39:39] that lot to rock hill road.
[39:39] So I think that is what is
[39:41] being considered an odd shape,
[39:48] but it's not anything -- it's
[39:48] not anything out of the
[39:48] ordinary.
[39:51] there are several lots that are
[39:52] shaped that way.
[39:52] They are predominantly in a
[39:56] commercial application.
[39:57] This is not to pull of a
[39:57] residential lot but it does
[40:00] still meet the requirements of
[40:01] a residential lot or access of
[40:05] the public road or square
[40:05] footage.
[40:08] >> also, this is the first
[40:12] reading, and we will have a
[40:13] second reading in the interim
[40:15] and then we will have anot`oo$0@6cj%
[40:17] opportunity to speak with your
[40:17] representatives.
[40:22] Not unless I here from any
[40:22] thing from the council.
[40:28] I know Ms. Mcintyre has her
[40:29] light on but hearing your
[40:29] questions uncomfortable voting
[40:30] on the first reading and then
[40:30] if something changes from now
[40:32] until the second reading, can
[40:41] you meet with Mr.
[40:41] Pfeiffer also?
[40:42] And then in the interim, Mr.
[40:42] Karzai.
[40:42] Because our next meeting will
[40:44] be on December 9 and we will
[40:45] have more time in there.
[40:48] And there's the second reading
[40:50] as far as finality.
[40:52] Should there be a successful
[40:57] vote on the first reading.
[41:00] >> Ms. Mcintyre?
[41:01] >> I'm missing the notification
[41:05] map and area on our
[41:05] attachments.
[41:10] The site plan and notification
[41:15] area diagrams.
[41:16] >> you are correct.
[41:21] I apologize for that.
[41:22] >> could you get those by the
[41:22] second reading?
[41:23] >> yes I will.
[41:27] >> thank you for bringing that
[41:28] to our attention.
[41:32] Is there any other questions,
[41:33] or anyone else from the public
[41:39] that has a comment on item
[41:39] number 26?
[41:40] Motion to close the public
[41:42] hearing, please.
[41:48] We have a motion and second.
[41:48] All in favor?
[41:50] Any opposed same sign?
[41:52] Motion carries.
[41:53] Ms. Huerta?
[41:55] >> the passing of the
[42:02] ordinance on its first reading.
[42:04] [Roll call]
[42:05] The ordinance passes.
[42:07] >> incorporated you.
[42:08] Item number 27.
[42:14] >> are you handling item number
[42:14] 27?
[42:15] >> yes im.
[42:16] Item number 27 is an ordinance
[42:24] amending the wastewater master
[42:24] plan.
[42:25] If you the request has been
[42:25] spitted to realign and increase
[42:27] the line size of the proposed
[42:28] wastewater line.
[42:29] The existing master plan calls
[42:33] for an a inch line increasing
[42:36] to a 10-inch line and this
[42:37] amendment would allow all of
[42:39] these lines to be changed to 12-
[42:41] inch lines and also realign the
[42:46] line to move slightly to the
[42:47] north of the existing
[42:47] subdivision.
[42:49] I think this would be better
[42:50] served to the west of the
[42:54] subdivision and by realigning
[42:56] it would also
[42:58] prevent multiple distribution
[43:04] lines in the subdivision.
[43:04] So, bye doing so, the planning
[43:05] commission and staff recommend
[43:11] approval of this amendment with
[43:11] the
[43:12] wastewater line.
[43:14] >> after this item will move
[43:15] towards public comment.
[43:15] Is there a motion to open up
[43:18] the public hearing?
[43:19] Pay period motion and second.
[43:21] any discussion?
[43:27] All in favor?
[43:27] Any opposed?
[43:27] Motion carries.
[43:28] Anyone from the public have a
[43:29] comment on item number 27?
[43:30] Motion to close.
[43:34] I have motion and second.
[43:34] All in favor?
[43:41] Any opposed same sign.
[43:41] Motion carries.
[43:41] Ms. Huerta.
[43:42] >> for passage of ordinance 27
[43:47] on its first reading -- [Roll
[43:54] call]
[43:54] The ordinance passes.
[43:55] >> thank you.
[43:57] I'd like to open up public
[43:58] comment if you could move
[44:08] forward and state your name and
[44:09] address.
[44:11] Good afternoon honorable mayor
[44:11] and council members.
[44:17] As you can see, I fixed my
[44:21] chair, and I'm very glad.
[44:22] Day is a day of giving, for
[44:31] those who May not know.
[44:32] And they say if we get $5, the
[44:32] agency gets $5.
[44:37] Many Ms. Abel and I live at
[44:38] 1701.
[44:46] I've been running the website
[44:46] business association for the
[44:47] past five years, and it wasn't
[44:48] going to do it this year
[44:48] because I developed my own
[44:49] foundation and I was preparing
[44:50] for this coming year to raise
[44:50] the money for it.
[44:53] I'd like to think the board of
[44:57] directors for giving me the
[44:57] opportunity to continue with
[44:59] the website association this
[45:00] year.
[45:01] It would probably be my last
[45:05] year, that I've been blessed
[45:07] because I've been able to raise
[45:12] the last years, 100 people,
[45:12] $100.
[45:19] And is here I started.
[45:19] early.
[45:28] And today I've been able to
[45:33] have 92 people, and all I need
[45:40] now is a people to accomplish
[45:40] 100 for the fourth year.
[45:43] I'm here to thank you mayor and
[45:46] council, and in all the 92
[45:47] people that open up their
[45:54] hearts, their wallet and their
[45:54] purse.
[45:55] Because it's your kindness that
[45:55] helps the disadvantaged.
[45:56] I know there are lots of
[46:09] projects that are available,
[46:09] and these people continue to
[46:15] help me year
[46:16] after year.
[46:19] And it's the same people over
[46:20] and over again.
[46:27] I May not be blessed
[46:28] financially, I May not be able
[46:30] to pay my bills, but I have
[46:32] been blessed with
[46:32] my friends.
[46:40] I have so many people that I
[46:41] can believe it.
[46:42] Money doesn't even help the
[46:43] loneliest person in the world.
[46:46] Thank you so much.
[46:47] >> thank you for all your work
[46:47] and taking the initiative for
[47:03] such a great cause.
[47:09] >>> my name is dana or.
[47:10] I spent my childhood between
[47:13] corpus and chapman ranch when I
[47:20] was 15, the farm became I'm
[47:21] from residence through the
[47:21] early 80's.
[47:22] I grandmother was a chapman and
[47:22] she and my grandfather made
[47:23] their living from the farm.
[47:26] From them I love under quite
[47:27] respect for land, loving of
[47:36] wildlife and the absolute have
[47:37] taboo of trespassing.
[47:37] And loved the sounds of coyote,
[47:38] bobwhite and whippoorwill, the
[47:39] heartless wind beating through
[47:40] salt cedars and have only knows
[47:42] banging pipes under the house.
[47:46] i've known dwindling numbers of
[47:47] our cat and jackrabbit to
[47:49] always watch my feet for
[47:50] snakes, and the taste of coffee
[47:52] made with well water.
[47:57] I've sent out countless times
[47:58] to catch the sun before it
[47:58] drops, walk the half-mile in
[48:00] the dark to
[48:04] watch the gin operate during
[48:04] harvest.
[48:05] I on her my farmer of 49 years
[48:06] who can drive equipment at the
[48:11] base of a wind turbine, reaping
[48:14] crops high and low, the same
[48:15] base around which dear will
[48:17] adapt to sound and continue
[48:18] grazing.
[48:22] I like growing cotton and hope
[48:26] to stuart responsibly when my
[48:30] grandparents bequeathed.
[48:30] Within consecutive years of
[48:31] drought, what good sense it
[48:35] makes to farm the wind.
[48:37] I've believe growth can be
[48:39] brought fairly and without
[48:39] duplicity.
[48:41] This council at that are out
[48:42] there lucky stars that janet
[48:46] and had heart are no longer
[48:49] living to witness these
[48:50] shenanigans.
[48:50] And I imagine you could guess
[48:52] with some of those consequences
[48:55] would be, if they were still
[48:55] alive.
[49:07] >> incorporated you, you, Ms.
[49:25] Or -- thank you Ms. Orr.
[49:25] And, if you could turn on both
[49:27] of the microphones just in case
[49:43] she has to come back to refer
[49:47] to her.
[49:48] >> my name is diane vandermark
[49:49] and I on property at chapman
[49:50] ranch both in the annexed area
[49:56] and the area that has not yet
[49:56] been annexed.
[49:57] Thank you, mayor for putting us
[49:57] in touch with the city
[50:00] manager's office, they were
[50:00] very helpful.
[50:01] They were able to get some
[50:02] answers but they raised other
[50:04] questions for me.
[50:09] I have here at the top of the
[50:10] chart, the cost of revenues is
[50:11] presented by the city council,
[50:11] revenue of 20.9 million just
[50:17] based on the fully built out
[50:20] $500 million, 575 turbine wind
[50:20] farm.
[50:23] I understand that's an
[50:26] appraisal, this revenue will
[50:29] come over the 30 year life of
[50:30] the wind farm.
[50:32] I have next the cost for the
[50:33] water and sewer to meet the
[50:38] requirements of the first
[50:39] annexation at 13.3 million.
[50:39] I have not been able to see a
[50:41] written estimate on that.
[50:44] These costs must be paid within
[50:50] no more than four and half
[50:51] years.
[50:51] Full services must be provided
[50:52] within two and half years
[50:57] unless it is not feasible.
[50:57] The city May extend the time
[50:58] but all capitol improvements
[50:59] must be substantially completed
[51:04] within four and half years of
[51:04] these improvements must be part
[51:05] of the city's capitol
[51:06] improvement plan by the end of
[51:08] this two and half year period
[51:08] of time.
[51:11] The water and sewer lines as
[51:17] you can seeon the map there
[51:17] ought traverse an area that is
[51:18] targeted for development and is
[51:22] not annexed at this time.
[51:23] The water and sewer lines only
[51:28] approach the furthest edge of
[51:29] the stem property and I
[51:29] understand they have planted a
[51:32] development agreement so they
[51:33] will not taxed.
[51:37] The property does not even --
[51:38] excuse me, the water and sewer
[51:45] line does not even touch the
[51:46] chapman ranch.
[51:46] Those who benefit from the
[51:47] lines and those who are paying
[51:48] for the water and sewer lines
[51:50] are a completely different
[51:50] group of people.
[51:51] If you insist upon proceeding
[51:53] with the second annexation, the
[51:56] owners are planning to pursue
[51:57] every remedy to get water and
[52:02] sewer to the ranch proper
[52:02] including the orders of the
[52:03] building which is located at
[52:03] the intersection of 286 and 70
[52:06] which is where most of the
[52:07] houses are located.
[52:08] The water and sewer line should
[52:11] establish rose and services for
[52:13] the area that is annexed.
[52:17] This is not including the cost
[52:18] of bond sales and interests,
[52:23] and does not include buyer,
[52:24] services and other areas.
[52:26] What we have been able to
[52:33] discover is the they have
[52:34] signed at development agreement
[52:35] so the area is 1.5 square miles
[52:36] which is 3.5% of the total wind
[52:37] farm.
[52:40] The city had projected revenue
[52:46] and included that in the 20.9
[52:53] million at 703,000.
[52:53] I'm not finished.
[52:56] >> if you could wrap up.
[52:57] >> phase I would show the
[53:01] deficit to the city of
[53:02] 6,237,182, and if you go
[53:04] through part of
[53:05] phase iii, which would have to
[53:09] be the third phase because it
[53:11] exceeds the 5-mile et today for
[53:11] the
[53:13] second annexation, it would
[53:18] require an additional 7 miles,
[53:18] so there's another 733,000 plus
[53:21] dollars we're taking out to
[53:22] make a total deficit on the
[53:28] overall wind farm of 5,472,000
[53:30] and $37.
[53:32] Thank you.
[53:32] >> thank you.
[53:35] Icy Mr. Pearson back there, you
[53:37] need a chance to look at this,
[53:45] or do you have any comments on
[53:45] this?
[53:46] >> they have labeled that as
[53:46] information presented by the
[53:47] city manager's office and that
[53:47] is not accurate.
[53:50] We have given some of the cost,
[53:52] the $13.3 million number and
[53:54] some of those numbers I've
[53:54] never seen before.
[54:01] The numbers are related to their
[54:01] calculations.
[54:02] >> can you speak with her and
[54:02] then you all can come back and
[54:06] we can get clarity on this?
[54:06] Thank you.
[54:11] >> I can clarify so that right
[54:11] now.
[54:12] >> well, this is in-depth
[54:13] information and he has stated,
[54:17] it sounds like you all need to
[54:17] have
[54:17] another conversation.
[54:22] So we will do it at another
[54:22] appropriate time.
[54:26] >> the infrastructure costs
[54:27] were [Overlapping/multiple
[54:27] speakers]
[54:28] >> I have more than generously
[54:34] giving you four minutes, thank
[54:34] you very much.
[54:35] We certainly do welcome you to
[54:35] come back and speak again, and
[54:39] if you could get with staff so
[54:40] you could get clarity on those
[54:42] numbers that would be very
[54:42] helpful.
[54:46] >> my name is david owing and
[54:49] I'm one of the owners of the
[54:50] chapman ranch.
[54:53] To clarify on the numbers, the
[54:53] estimate for the second
[54:54] annexation was based on the
[54:59] length of the line, for the
[55:00] first annexation, and if you
[55:04] keep following it out, wendy
[55:07] four-44, it's another three and
[55:08] half miles.
[55:08] So we are assuming that the
[55:12] first line of possibly 5 miles
[55:13] with 13.3 and three and half
[55:13] miles would be somewhere around
[55:15] 11 million, and that's where
[55:19] our estimate of the number came
[55:19] from.
[55:24] On October 30 first we met with
[55:25] was pearson and he stated that
[55:29] the city's tax revenue estimate
[55:33] for a 350-megawatt wind farm is
[55:33] 20.9 million, and the cost of
[55:35] only the first phase of
[55:41] annexation is 13.
[55:42] 3
[55:42] million.
[55:44] In a private conversation with
[55:47] me at the planned cc meeting
[55:52] that I attended last week,
[55:53] julio dimas describes the $13.3
[55:59] million figure as a cost
[55:59] estimate from the city's
[56:00] engineering staff for extension
[56:02] of the water and sewer lines
[56:03] only along the oso creek along
[56:07] 20 or 44 county road 37.
[56:12] I asked him for a copy of that
[56:13] estimate, for which he said
[56:14] something along the lines of,
[56:16] it was an estimate by engineers
[56:18] but there is no actual document
[56:22] that he could share with me.
[56:29] So I took that to mean that the
[56:31] $13.3 million figure is a rough
[56:33] estimate as opposed to the
[56:36] detailed estimate or hard
[56:36] number.
[56:37] A rough estimate is very
[56:45] different from the.
[56:45] Or expect estimate.
[56:50] My question is, are you making
[56:52] decisions based on estimates or
[56:53] is there documentation that can
[56:54] be
[56:55] shared with us justifying the
[57:03] revenue and cost estimate?
[57:04] Incorporated you.
[57:05] >> thank you Mr. Owen, you have
[57:05] asked some very good questions
[57:06] and we will certainly make sure
[57:09] and get back with you.
[57:34] Thank you.
[57:36] >> thank you.
[57:40] My name is tom hartman, I'm
[57:41] from annapolis maryland, home
[57:44] of the united states naval
[57:44] academy.
[57:45] Before you, you have a printout
[57:54] from the navy.Mil homepage,
[57:59] and this is dated October 27,
[57:59] 2014.
[58:02] It states, defense logistics
[58:09] agency for energy issues and
[58:17] rsp to secure up to o 55
[58:17] megawatts of renewable energy
[58:22] for navy inflations in the
[58:23] state of texas.
[58:23] And I read, department of navy
[58:24] announced October 27 that the
[58:27] defense logistics agency for
[58:29] energy issue request for
[58:31] proposal for the renewable
[58:32] energy to help our three
[58:39] department of navy
[58:39] installations in texas.
[58:40] Once awarded, the contract will
[58:44] serve naval air station corpus
[58:46] christi, anal air station
[58:48] kingsville, and a joint reserve
[58:55] base in fort worth, texas.
[58:56] With up to 55 megawatts of
[59:01] renewable electricity from a
[59:03] new, off-site generation
[59:08] facility over a period of time
[59:09] of 10 years.
[59:11] So let's examine what this
[59:12] means.
[59:12] Number one, apex clean energy
[59:16] is working on it proposal to
[59:20] supply energy in this regard
[59:21] from the chapman wind farm,
[59:25] because it will be a new site.
[59:26] Secondly, apex believes they
[59:31] will have a true advantage
[59:32] because the proximity to the
[59:34] two facilities will enable a
[59:36] more direct connect in, which
[59:40] would give them a price
[59:41] advantage.
[59:43] so in conclusion, I recommend
[59:45] you look again at what you are
[59:47] trying to do.
[59:50] The navy, naval air station,
[59:57] and apex clean energy are
[1:00:01] compatible.
[1:00:05] >> thank you.
[1:00:09] >> john kelly, 2631 austin.
[1:00:10] I was in the neighborhood
[1:00:10] today.
[1:00:13] I wanted to point out that
[1:00:14] given the previous statements
[1:00:15] as well as our opportunity to
[1:00:17] delve further into the
[1:00:17] documents that have surrounded
[1:00:21] this issue from the beginning,
[1:00:23] it is very clear
[1:00:23] that this council participated
[1:00:27] in what could only be
[1:00:30] determined as either extreme
[1:00:33] ignorance, or
[1:00:34] fraud, when they, back in
[1:00:36] September, discussed at length
[1:00:39] how they were against the wind
[1:00:42] farm because it was going to
[1:00:43] harm the naval air base one of
[1:00:45] the very same time in the
[1:00:49] agenda maranda him on September
[1:00:55] 30th, it says very clearly the
[1:00:56] property tax revenue from the
[1:00:57] proposed apex wind farm
[1:00:58] be used to pay for the utility
[1:01:03] structure needed in the new
[1:01:03] annexed area.
[1:01:05] Completely contrary to the
[1:01:10] logic of preventing the wind
[1:01:10] farm.
[1:01:11] It's estimated that the
[1:01:11] property tax revenue generated
[1:01:16] from the proposed wind farm
[1:01:18] would be sufficient to pay for
[1:01:19] the debt needed to be used to
[1:01:20] fund installation of utility
[1:01:20] infrastructure of approximately
[1:01:25] $13 million to the newly
[1:01:25] annexed area.
[1:01:27] Obviously there you are not
[1:01:35] trying to prevent the wind
[1:01:35] farm.
[1:01:36] There is nothing in here that
[1:01:36] says we are going to try to
[1:01:37] prevent the wind farm.
[1:01:37] You also know that the legal
[1:01:38] case come quite frankly, you
[1:01:40] could win.
[1:01:41] The matter what it's likely to
[1:01:50] result in the early territory
[1:01:51] judgment against you.
[1:01:54] We are building a wind farm.
[1:02:01] You knew that, and you know it
[1:02:01] now.
[1:02:02] So the whole purpose of this
[1:02:03] thing was to take money from
[1:02:03] one group of people and give it
[1:02:09] to another group of peopleto
[1:02:09] feather their own pockets with
[1:02:10] this annexation and expansion
[1:02:11] on the south side.
[1:02:14] It's very clear, mayor, you've
[1:02:15] been involved with the plan of
[1:02:19] the extension of the 202444 as
[1:02:21] well as the 286 extension.
[1:02:25] If you looked at the planned ac
[1:02:28] emma the three proposals are
[1:02:28] fraud.
[1:02:36] Another them include any and
[1:02:37] sticks extensive infill for
[1:02:37] redevelopment, they all include
[1:02:39] the same southside plan with no
[1:02:39] alteration.
[1:02:40] I would like two-point out
[1:02:43] that, we still have not
[1:02:46] received the response to our
[1:02:49] written request for esther
[1:02:51] risley on an opinion, and I
[1:02:53] know he's not equally required
[1:02:54] to do so but it seems like it
[1:03:01] would be a, and courtesy to
[1:03:01] citizens.
[1:03:06] And that's both the revenue and
[1:03:09] expenditures, and we have built
[1:03:13] with an attorney specializing
[1:03:13] open
[1:03:13] meeting --
[1:03:18] >> if you could wrap up your
[1:03:18] comments.
[1:03:19] >> he feels we have a very good
[1:03:19] case and we will make the
[1:03:22] decision based on what we how
[1:03:25] we want to
[1:03:25] proceed.
[1:03:29] >> for clarification on the 24-
[1:03:32] 44, that the collaboration for
[1:03:32] board future transportation
[1:03:34] that has
[1:03:37] been corroborated and worked
[1:03:38] with and planning with the
[1:03:39] texas department of
[1:03:39] transportation.
[1:03:46] So I will warn you emma very
[1:03:51] directly, be careful of making
[1:03:54] accusations of fraud.
[1:03:55] That is my first and final
[1:03:55] warning.
[1:03:58] >> I did not make an accusation
[1:03:58] of fraud, I said it's obviously
[1:04:00] been long in the planning.
[1:04:06] The fraud is setting up here
[1:04:06] and pushing and saying you are
[1:04:07] trying to protect the airbase
[1:04:13] when that's not the intention,
[1:04:13] obviously.
[1:04:14] >> for clarification, be very,
[1:04:14] very careful.
[1:04:15] We stated everything on record
[1:04:19] of our intent, it's not to be
[1:04:20] debated at this point, but be
[1:04:24] very careful when you state the
[1:04:26] word, fraud.
[1:04:27] >> I was.
[1:04:32] >> is there anyone else here
[1:04:34] for public comment?
[1:04:34] >>> okay.
[1:04:43] We will move forward to the
[1:04:44] item regarding -- we even
[1:04:44] needed a clarification on the
[1:04:45] vote.
[1:04:52] Are you ready to discuss that?
[1:04:54] >> yes im.
[1:04:56] >>> this is within the city
[1:04:59] manager's inherent contract and
[1:05:04] execution of authority him
[1:05:05] because it's $50,000.
[1:05:09] And it's the contract execution
[1:05:10] to ensure maximum transparency
[1:05:13] of the public to see what's
[1:05:13] going on.
[1:05:16] This is one of those.
[1:05:19] We can make this legal
[1:05:20] authorization by changing it
[1:05:27] from a wrestlers resolution
[1:05:27] authorizing to endorsing the
[1:05:28] cities managers execution of
[1:05:28] this within his inherent
[1:05:39] execution of contract
[1:05:39] authority.
[1:05:40] And that the resolution
[1:05:41] endorsing the city managers
[1:05:43] execution of a letter of intent
[1:05:47] to proceed a
[1:05:48] desalinization facility, and an
[1:05:59] amount not to exceed $50,000.
[1:05:59] And, it would replace sections
[1:06:00] one and two of the resolution
[1:06:00] with the city managers
[1:06:05] execution of the letter of
[1:06:05] intent to proceed and economic
[1:06:07] feasibility study with the
[1:06:15] corpus christi canonical
[1:06:19] regional development facility.
[1:06:20] It is hereby endorsed an amount
[1:06:20] not to exceed $60,000 which is
[1:06:22] within the city managers
[1:06:22] contract
[1:06:23] execution authority.
[1:06:27] >> that's item number two.
[1:06:29] Ms. Huerta, do you need that
[1:06:29] amendment?
[1:06:33] >> yes I do.
[1:06:41] >> we have a motion, is there a
[1:06:41] second?
[1:06:43] Is there any discussion?
[1:06:45] All in favor?
[1:06:47] Any opposed?
[1:06:48] Okay.
[1:06:50] Is there anyone from the public
[1:06:54] who has a comment?
[1:06:59] I'm going to take a step back
[1:07:02] on item number 42, approving a
[1:07:06] letter of intent to proceed
[1:07:06] with the seawater
[1:07:09] desalinization facility and
[1:07:09] economic feasibility study?
[1:07:10] Okay.
[1:07:14] I don't see any at this point,
[1:07:15] but is there a presentation
[1:07:17] that you would like to make on
[1:07:19] item
[1:07:24] number 42?
[1:07:25] Okay.
[1:07:26] thank you.
[1:07:28] >> mark van slyke, item number
[1:07:31] 42 is a wrestlers resolution
[1:07:33] endorsing the city manager's
[1:07:34] plan to
[1:07:38] execute is a intent for the
[1:07:38] feasibility study.
[1:07:44] Key aspects of the agreement
[1:07:45] are two parts, one is for a
[1:07:46] feasibility study and the other
[1:07:46] is an option for request for
[1:07:49] proposals for the
[1:07:50] desalinization facility.
[1:07:51] The funding will come from the
[1:07:51] corpus christi regional
[1:07:57] economic develop went operation
[1:07:58] and they develop and industries
[1:07:59] of corpus christi.
[1:07:59] Any additional expenses will be
[1:08:00] paid for by the city of corpus
[1:08:01] christi.
[1:08:05] To create a technical working
[1:08:06] group that will assist in the
[1:08:07] selection of program manager
[1:08:11] and development of the scope of
[1:08:11] work.
[1:08:12] It identifies deliverables that
[1:08:15] are desired including a price
[1:08:15] per thousand gallons and as
[1:08:16] part of the scope development
[1:08:18] the technical working group
[1:08:19] will review the scope of the
[1:08:19] ongoing projects to be sure
[1:08:23] that we do not duplicate
[1:08:23] efforts.
[1:08:24] And I can answer any questions
[1:08:26] if you so desire.
[1:08:27] >> thank you very much.
[1:08:30] Anyone from the public that has
[1:08:34] a comment on item number 42?
[1:08:34] Mr.Mcgill.
[1:08:37] >> this is related because we
[1:08:39] have the desalinization study.
[1:08:45] On March tenth, we were given
[1:08:46] that item to pass on second
[1:08:47] reading and it was going to be
[1:08:47] a report in October.
[1:08:52] Is that report available?
[1:08:56] >> I will have to check on the
[1:08:57] status of that.
[1:09:02] >> that report was due to be
[1:09:03] given to us in October, so
[1:09:07] being related, I thought it was
[1:09:08] timely to ask.
[1:09:16] >> is there anyone else?
[1:09:16] To vote on the item as amended,
[1:09:19] item number 42, and for the
[1:09:25] record, Ms. Huerta?
[1:09:26] >> councilmember roxas will be
[1:09:32] abstaining from this item.
[1:09:40] >> [Roll call]
[1:09:41] The resolution passes.
[1:09:47] >> thank you very much.
[1:09:53] Item number 41.
[1:09:59] Are lena stone, city are
[1:09:59] auditor.
[1:10:00] I'm here to request the
[1:10:03] approval of our city audit
[1:10:03] plan.
[1:10:07] Last week received the proposed
[1:10:09] plan and the first revision is
[1:10:16] to include an audit of road
[1:10:20] construction, and by including
[1:10:20] that, we need to shave some
[1:10:25] hours off of another audit to
[1:10:26] include this, so those are the
[1:10:27] other documents that you
[1:10:28] received last week.
[1:10:32] So the first item is an audit
[1:10:35] of our new enforce system.
[1:10:37] >> is there any way that we
[1:10:42] could make that larger?
[1:10:49] May be on the 53.7%?
[1:10:52] Let's go a little bit lower so
[1:10:54] that we can try to get the
[1:10:56] whole picture.
[1:10:59] There we go.
[1:10:59] That's very hopeful.
[1:11:03] If you could make it just a
[1:11:04] little bit smaller, please, if
[1:11:05] we could have the visual for
[1:11:19] the public
[1:11:19] as well.
[1:11:20] >> I will speak on different
[1:11:27] sections and scroll down if I
[1:11:29] need too.
[1:11:29] >> sure.
[1:11:29] >>> the first four items are
[1:11:30] audit projects.
[1:11:36] The first is an audit of our
[1:11:37] mis and the enforce system to
[1:11:37] make sure general and
[1:11:38] application controls are
[1:11:40] adequate in the new system.
[1:11:42] The second is an audit of the
[1:11:51] airport and the leases with the
[1:11:52] rental car and other lessees to
[1:11:52] make sure that they are paying
[1:11:53] accurately and timely.
[1:11:54] These two audits were included
[1:11:56] in this year's plan but we had
[1:11:56] to postpone them because of the
[1:11:57] inclusion of other audits that
[1:12:09] we are currently working on.
[1:12:16] -- compliant with implications
[1:12:17] and pick let's be proactive and
[1:12:24] make sure that everything is
[1:12:24] followed.
[1:12:26] The third is the financial
[1:12:34] services and their bank
[1:12:43] reconciliation process.
[1:12:46] By ordinance, we are required
[1:12:48] to provide follow-up audits on
[1:12:52] previous audits, so items five.
[1:12:53] 11 are the follow-up audits
[1:12:55] that we plan to conduct next
[1:12:58] year on the audits that we have
[1:12:58] performed
[1:13:00] this year.
[1:13:03] We have some significant audits
[1:13:06] that are less significant as
[1:13:09] you can see by the audits
[1:13:09] assigned, the priorities might
[1:13:14] be which follow-ups take longer
[1:13:15] and again, this is a budget of
[1:13:18] hours subject
[1:13:21] to change.
[1:13:21] Item 12 is, where we put some
[1:13:26] hours in for our city auditors
[1:13:26] hotline, we received
[1:13:29] allegations of fraud, waste and
[1:13:30] abuse through that.
[1:13:30] Some of the issues are fairly
[1:13:32] benign and you can do
[1:13:35] investigation in very little
[1:13:38] time, then we pass off to the
[1:13:39] city manager's office if we
[1:13:41] felt his office is more
[1:13:42] qualified to mention.
[1:13:44] And some take a considerable
[1:13:46] amount of time.
[1:13:52] We have put a few hundred hours
[1:13:52] and for that.
[1:13:54] At this point we think the city
[1:13:58] has a pretty good handle on
[1:14:01] petty cash account and change
[1:14:02] funds.
[1:14:06] So that just allows us the
[1:14:07] latitude, if an issue does come
[1:14:08] up or if we feel the need, we
[1:14:14] could go in and performed on
[1:14:15] [Indiscernible]
[1:14:16] Unannounced audits.
[1:14:19] The bottom portion is audits
[1:14:19] from this year that will carry
[1:14:23] over into next year.
[1:14:24] It will be an audit of minas up
[1:14:27] old court fee collections, and
[1:14:31] we are in the process of doing
[1:14:32] the
[1:14:35] follow-up of the ub oh audit
[1:14:39] that was conducted as part of
[1:14:39] the plan.
[1:14:44] When you add all of these up
[1:14:44] your right at $5000 which is
[1:14:45] pushing us to the very limit of
[1:14:45] what we
[1:14:49] think we can get done.
[1:14:51] It might be a tad optimistic
[1:14:54] but again, it's just a budget
[1:14:55] subject to change is approved
[1:14:56] by the
[1:14:56] audit committee.
[1:14:58] The committee did approve this
[1:14:59] this morning in our meeting and
[1:15:02] we are asking that you approve
[1:15:06] it as well.
[1:15:07] >> thank you.

[1:15:32] that needs to be incorporated
[1:15:32] therein.
[1:15:33] >> okay, and what is your
[1:15:33] language?
[1:15:33] If we can vote on that

[1:15:45] committee.
[1:15:48] >> we have our committee.
