pattern <strong>of</strong> zoning, creating certainty about the form and function <strong>of</strong> future development, and creating<br />
an identity that may be utilized to attract investment. The Arts and Entertainment District would be a<br />
pedestrian-oriented, mixed-use environment requiring quality building design and materials.<br />
Additionally, an amendment is being written to the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Laredo</strong> Code o/Ordinances, Chapter 28,<br />

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION<br />
IMPACT ANALYSIS<br />
B-3 (Community Business District): The purpose <strong>of</strong> the B-3 District is to provide for those businesses<br />
and services serving a trade area larger than a neighborhood, but smaller than the entire city<br />
and located primarily along minor or principal arterial streets, as classified in the Transportation<br />
Plan <strong>of</strong> the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Laredo</strong>. It is intended for this zoning classification to exist primarily abutting<br />
minor or principal arterial streets while preserving established residential neighborhoods along<br />
such streets.<br />
Is this change contrary to the established land use pattern<br />
No, there is a substantial pattern <strong>of</strong> commercial development along this corridor.<br />
Would this change create an isolated zoning district unrelated to surrounding districts<br />
No, there exist B-3 districts to the north and south along McPherson Road.<br />
Will change adversely influence living conditions in the neighborhood<br />
No, there are already B-3 compatible uses along McPherson Road<br />
Are there substantial reasons why the property can not be used in accord with existing zoning<br />
No, the current zoning only allows for sufficient commercial uses.<br />

SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING AND INTRODUCTION OF AN ORDINANCE<br />
06/<strong>21</strong>110 Amending the Zoning Ordinance (Map) <strong>of</strong> the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Laredo</strong> by rezoning Lot 5, Block 190,<br />
Western Division, located at 1114 San Francisco Avenue, from R-3 (Mixed Residential<br />

Rosa Maldonado<br />
Keith Selman, Planning Director<br />
Prior action: None.<br />
BACKGROUND<br />
Council District: VIII - Cynthia Liendo Espinoza<br />

residential in nature.<br />

Page 1 <strong>of</strong> 2
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION<br />
IMPACT ANALYSIS<br />
B-3 (Community Business District): The purpose <strong>of</strong> the B-3 District (Community Business District)<br />
is to provide for those businesses and services serving a trade area larger than a neighborhood but<br />
smaller than the entire city and located primarily along minor or principal arterial streets, as classified<br />
in the Transportation Plan <strong>of</strong>the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Laredo</strong>. It is intended for this zoning classification to exist<br />
primarily abutting minor or principal arterial streets while preserving established residential<br />
neighborhoods along such streets.<br />
Is this change contrary to the established land use pattern<br />
Yes, the predominant land use pattern in the immediate area is single family residential.<br />

on a case by case basis and should not be categorized in a zoning district. A Special Use<br />
Permit is basically an overlay on top <strong>of</strong> the existing zoning designation and can be limited in<br />
many respects such as time, fencing, setbacks, landscaping, etc.<br />
Staff supports the issuance <strong>of</strong> an SUP for electronic devices and recommends that the following conditions<br />
be attached to the issuance <strong>of</strong> an SUP:<br />

The <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Laredo</strong> has an existing Section 108 Loan which supported the restoration and conversion <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Hamilton Hotel to elderly housing. The initial 20 year loan was for $1. 7milion and initiated in 2000. The loan<br />
was financed in the form <strong>of</strong> twenty individual notes with a principal amount <strong>of</strong>$85,000 plus interest at varying<br />
rates.<br />
There is an opportunity to refinance the remaining principal balance <strong>of</strong> $765,000 in the <strong>June</strong> 17,<strong>2010</strong> Public<br />
Offering with an estimated possible net savings in interest <strong>of</strong> $296,709 as reported by the HUD Section 108<br />
underwriting group. This is only an estimate. The actual interest rates for the upcoming public <strong>of</strong>fering will be<br />
determined in July. The interest saving could vary slightly depending on the actual rates; however, it is<br />
expected that the rates for this <strong>of</strong>fering will be lower than the rates on the <strong>City</strong>'s existing loan.<br />
Payments <strong>of</strong> the Section 108 Loan are guaranteed through the <strong>City</strong>'S Community Development Block Grant.<br />

Dear Sir or Madam:<br />
Enclosed are documents that the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Laredo</strong>, Texas (B-98-MC-48-0505) (the<br />
"Borrower") requested related to the pending public <strong>of</strong>fering <strong>of</strong> trust certificates guaranteed<br />
under Section 108 <strong>of</strong> the Housing and Community Development Act <strong>of</strong> 1974, as amended. The<br />
public <strong>of</strong>fering date is firm for July <strong>21</strong>,<strong>2010</strong>, except for adverse market conditions. The <strong>of</strong>fering<br />
will be underwritten by: (i) UBS Investment Bank, (ii) Merrill Lynch & Co., and (iii) Credit<br />
Suisse Securities (USA) LLC. Capitalized terms used in this letter are more fully defined in the<br />
enclosed documents.<br />
Even though the public <strong>of</strong>fering will not be held until July <strong>21</strong>, <strong>2010</strong>, it is necessary that<br />
HUD receive the properly executed documents from you by close <strong>of</strong> business on July 2,<strong>2010</strong>.<br />
We must verify that we have all documents from all Borrowers, and that they are satisfactory,<br />
before pricing and before we can sign the Underwriting Agreement. Ifwe do not receive the<br />
documents from you by July 2, your note will not be included in the public <strong>of</strong>fering on July <strong>21</strong>.<br />
This underwritten public <strong>of</strong>fering will be conducted pursuant to legislation which permits<br />
the Department <strong>of</strong> Housing and Urban Development ("HUD") to guarantee trust certificates that<br />
are backed by a trust composed <strong>of</strong> notes or other obligations guaranteed under Section 1 08. Your<br />
note will be included in such a trust, together with the notes <strong>of</strong> other participating Borrowers.<br />
The enclosed public <strong>of</strong>fering documents, which must be executed by the authorized<br />
representative <strong>of</strong> the Borrower identified in its counsel's legal opinion, are the Promissory Note<br />
("Note") and the Contract for Loan Guarantee Assistance ("Contract"). The opinion <strong>of</strong> counsel to<br />
the Borrower is required pursuant to paragraph 4(b) <strong>of</strong> the Contract; a model opinion with<br />
attached instructions is also enclosed for the guidance <strong>of</strong> counsel. If the Borrower previously<br />
executed interim financing documents and is not receiving funds for new activities (i.e., activities<br />
not covered by the existing Contract) at this <strong>of</strong>fering, no new additional security Contract<br />
provisions are required for this <strong>of</strong>fering; the Contract incorporates the previous additional<br />
security provisions.<br />
As noted in paragraph 15 <strong>of</strong> the enclosed Contract, the proceeds from the Note will be<br />
deposited into a defeasance account and will be used solely to prepay an outstanding promissory<br />
note that was included in a previous public <strong>of</strong>fering. You will be required to remit, in accordance<br />
with the instructions referenced below, the scheduled principal and interest payment next due<br />
under the previously issued note. This amount will also be deposited into the defeasance<br />
account.
2<br />
After it is executed by the Borrower and returned to HUD, the Note (which is not<br />
effective until guaranteed by HUD at the closing <strong>of</strong> the public <strong>of</strong>fering) will be delivered by<br />
HUD to The Bank <strong>of</strong> New York Mellon, as Trustee, two days before the public <strong>of</strong>fering date and<br />
will be held in trust. At closing, the Trustee will issue a single, separate certificate for each<br />
Principal Due Date specified in the Note. Each such certificate shall specify the applicable passthrough<br />
interest rate, which rate(s) will also be entered in Schedule P&I attached to the Note for<br />
the applicable Principal Due Dates. The interest rate will be established for each trust certificate<br />
at pricing by the underwriters one week before the public <strong>of</strong>fering date.<br />
The Aggregate Principal Amount <strong>of</strong> the Note shall be repaid in accordance with the<br />
Schedule P&I attached thereto. Interest will accrue on each Principal Amount at the passthrough<br />
interest rate on the related trust certificate, payable on the applicable Interest Due Date<br />
(each February 1 or August 1, beginning February 1, 2011), through the Principal Due Date on<br />
the schedule attached to the Note (which dates correspond to the related distribution dates <strong>of</strong><br />
payments to investors on the trust certificates). Each interest payment will consist <strong>of</strong> the<br />
aggregate <strong>of</strong> the interest amounts accrued to the applicable date on the entire principal balance <strong>of</strong><br />
the Note. However, all payments on the Note are actually due to the Trustee on the Note<br />
Payment Date seven Business Days before the applicable Interest Due Date or Principal Due<br />
Date. This is necessary to enable the Trustee to aggregate the payments and direct them to the<br />
proper investors, and also to enable HUD to honor its Guarantee by making payment on behalf <strong>of</strong><br />
the Borrower from pledged grant funds if necessary. You will be notified by the Trustee <strong>of</strong> the<br />
amount <strong>of</strong> the required payment one month before each Note Payment Date.<br />
The Note and Contract reference the Trust Agreement and the Amended and Restated<br />
Master Fiscal Agency Agreement, both <strong>of</strong> which are enclosed. Pursuant to the Contract, the<br />
Borrower consents to the selection <strong>of</strong> The Bank <strong>of</strong> New York Mellon as Trustee and agrees to the<br />
terms <strong>of</strong> the public <strong>of</strong>fering, including the Trust Agreement. The Trust Agreement principally<br />
sets forth duties and responsibilities <strong>of</strong> the Trustee, but certain provisions <strong>of</strong> interest to borrowers<br />
are included, including compensation and indemnification <strong>of</strong> the Trustee, which is secured only<br />
by the security specified in paragraph 5 <strong>of</strong> the Contract. The Fiscal Agency Agreement and Trust<br />
documents are enclosed for your reference; please do not return them to HUD.<br />
The Contract provides when and how payment <strong>of</strong>the costs (fees) <strong>of</strong>the public <strong>of</strong>fering is<br />
to be made. The final amount <strong>of</strong> the costs will not be known until the week before the public<br />
<strong>of</strong>fering date. We will notify you <strong>of</strong> the amount at that time.<br />
The enclosed form for wire transfer <strong>of</strong> funds provides the information that you will need<br />
to remit the costs <strong>of</strong> the public <strong>of</strong>fering as well as the scheduled P&I payment on the previously<br />
issued note. These funds must be remitted no later than July 20,<strong>2010</strong>.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:<br />
On May 10, <strong>2010</strong> Council received a staff report describing the design and proposed rate adjustment.<br />
BACKGROUND:<br />
As the <strong>City</strong> continues to grow at increased levels per year and the expansion, rehabilitation and<br />
improvement needs <strong>of</strong> existing infrastructure, the water system's capital expansion and improvement<br />
plans will require the issuance <strong>of</strong> revenue and other bonds, the repayment <strong>of</strong> which will come primarily<br />
from the revenues generated by the water system user fee and charges.<br />
The acceptance <strong>of</strong> the plan for infrastructure improvements stemming from the level <strong>of</strong> service directed<br />
by the <strong>City</strong> requires the implementation <strong>of</strong> a rate increase and adjustment above the current level <strong>of</strong><br />
increases in process.<br />
Therefore the <strong>City</strong> has employed the design <strong>of</strong> a rate increase to implement a minimum fee structure<br />
based on the meter size utilized by the customer. This process will mimic the other top 20 water<br />
purveyors <strong>of</strong> the State as approved minimal fees.<br />

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION<br />
IMPACT ANALYSIS<br />
R-I-MH (Single Family Manufactured Housing District): The purpose <strong>of</strong> the R-I-MH District is<br />
to permit subdivisions designed to meet the dimensional and configuration requirements for<br />
manufactured and modular housing neighborhoods.<br />
Is this change contrary to the established land use pattern<br />
No, the majority <strong>of</strong> adjacent lots are currently vacant.<br />
Would this change create an isolated zoning district unrelated to surrounding districts<br />
No, there is an R-I-MH district adjacent to the north and west.<br />
Will change adversely influence living conditions in the neighborhood<br />
Yes, the change would create a mixture <strong>of</strong> different housing types along the same street front.<br />
Are there substantial reasons why the property can not be used in accord with existing zoning<br />
No, the existing zoning allows for residential uses.<br />

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING<br />
BETWEEN<br />
BUREAU OF ALCOHOL, TOBACCO, FIREARMS AND EXPLOSIVES<br />
AND LAREDO POLICE DEPARTMENT<br />
This Memorandum <strong>of</strong> Understanding (MOU) delineates a cooperative law enforcement effort<br />
, between the United States Department <strong>of</strong> Justice, Bureau <strong>of</strong> Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and<br />
Explosives (ATF) and the <strong>Laredo</strong> Police Department (LPD), known collectively as the Agencies<br />
for the purpose <strong>of</strong> establishing a task force known as ATF LAREDO TASK FORCE. This MOU<br />
is not intended as a formal contract between the Agencies but rather as an expression <strong>of</strong><br />
understanding to facilitate cooperation on investigations as detailed below.<br />
I. AUTHORITY<br />
This MOU is established pursuant to the participating Agencies' authority to investigate criminal<br />
activities. ATF's authority includes Chapters 40,44, and 114, Title 18, United States Code, and<br />
Chapter 53, Title 26, United States Code.<br />
II.<br />
DURATION OF THIS lYIOU<br />
This MOD will become effective on the date it is completely executed by the participating<br />
Agencies. The participating Agencies will review the mission objectives and the need for<br />
continued operation under this MOU every year thereafter. Any participating Agency may<br />
withdraw from this MOU at any time, however, a written notice <strong>of</strong> intent to withdraw must be<br />
provided to the other participating Agency at least thirty (30) days prior to the date <strong>of</strong> the<br />
intended withdrawal.<br />
III.<br />
PURPOSE OF THIS MOU<br />
This MOU serves to formalize the relationship between the participating Agencies with regard to<br />
policy, guidance, planning, training, public relations, and media in order to foster an efficient and<br />
cohesive unit capable <strong>of</strong> addressing violent crime and to maximize interagency cooperation<br />
associated with the task force known as ATF LAREDO TASKFORCE.<br />
The goal <strong>of</strong> this MOD is to develop a cooperative effort among the participating Agencies<br />
charged with the investigation and prosecution <strong>of</strong> violent and/or firearms related criminal<br />
<strong>of</strong>fenses. The criminal <strong>of</strong>fenses investigated under this MOU will be referred to the courts <strong>of</strong> the<br />
United States and/or the courts <strong>of</strong> the State <strong>of</strong> Texas for prosecution.
The mission <strong>of</strong> the participating Agencies is to conduct in-depth investigations <strong>of</strong> firearms<br />
related crimes; to identify and target for prosecution the perpetrators <strong>of</strong> such crimes (i.e. outlaw<br />
motorcycle organizations, street gangs, armed career criminals, firearms traffickers and armed<br />
narcotics traffickers); and to achieve maximum coordination and cooperation in bringing to bear<br />
the combined resources <strong>of</strong> the participating Agencies aimed at reducing the most violent criminal<br />
activity within the community.<br />
IV.<br />
CONDITIONS AND PROCEDURES<br />
A. Administration<br />
Because this MOU outlines a cooperative endeavor on the part <strong>of</strong> the participating Agencies,<br />
the supervisors <strong>of</strong> the participating Agencies shall be jointly responsible for the policy,<br />
program involvement, and direction <strong>of</strong> each participating Agency. Therefore, cases will be<br />
jointly investigated and no particular Agency will prevail over another or act unilaterally.<br />
Participating Agency supervisors shall meet to discuss, review and prioritize investigations<br />
undertaken as a result <strong>of</strong> this agreement on a regular basis.<br />
B. Operational Guidelines<br />
The following guidelines will guide the participating Agencies regarding the policy,<br />
planning, training, supervision and public relations. The participating Agencies agree that<br />
these guidelines will serve as a basis to mediate any disputes that arise during the operation<br />
<strong>of</strong> this agreement.<br />
1. Chain <strong>of</strong> Command: ATF agrees to designate the Resident Agent in Charge, <strong>Laredo</strong><br />
Field Office, as ATF's coordinator <strong>of</strong> this agreement. The LPD Chief andlor designee<br />
will serve as the department's coordinator. The coordinators have overall responsibility<br />
for the policies and guidelines affecting this MOD. Operational problems encountered<br />
between ATF and LPD will be mutually addressed and resolved by the coordinators.<br />
2. Operations: The coordinators shall be primarily responsible for opening, assigning,<br />
directing, monitoring, and closing investigations subject to guidance from the<br />
participating Agencies. Each participating Agency agrees that it will take no unilateral<br />
action with respect to any operation under this MOU, as this would not be in the best<br />
interests <strong>of</strong> this cooperative effort.<br />
ATF, as the sponsoring Federal law enforcement Agency, may request that LPD Officers<br />
be deputized by the United States Marshals Service (USMS) for the purpose <strong>of</strong> extending<br />
their jurisdiction to include applying for and executing Federal search and arrest<br />
warrants, and requesting and executing Federal Grand Jury subpoenas for records and<br />
evidence involving violations <strong>of</strong> Federal laws. Such requests will be made on an<br />
individual basis as determined by ATF as necessary.
The participating Agencies agree that any Federal authority that may be conferred by the<br />
above request will terminate when this MOD is terminated or when the deputized<br />
personnel leaves the task force.<br />
3. Resources: ATF agrees to supply a supervisor and Special Agents as needed to<br />
fulfill the obligations committed as a result <strong>of</strong> this MOD. LPD agrees to supply <strong>of</strong>ficers<br />
on a full-time or part-time basis, dependent on its manpower constraints, to fulfill its<br />
obligations under this MOD. Additional personnel will be covered by this MOD on an<br />
as-needed basis. Additions, deletions, and temporary reassignments <strong>of</strong> personnel under<br />
this MOD will be at the discretion <strong>of</strong> the respective participating Agencies, with notice to<br />
the other participating Agencies.<br />
Continued assignment <strong>of</strong> specific personnel will be based upon performance and will be<br />
at the discretion <strong>of</strong> the respective participating Agency. Each participating Agency, upon<br />
request, will be provided with an update as to the program, duration and<br />
accomplishments occurring as a result <strong>of</strong> this agreement.<br />
During the period <strong>of</strong> this MOD, each participating Agency will provide for the salary and<br />
employment benefits <strong>of</strong> its own respective employees. All participating Agencies will<br />
retain control over the personnel's work hours, including the approval <strong>of</strong> overtime.<br />
ATF may have funds available for the payment <strong>of</strong> overtime to state and local Task Force<br />
members subject to the guidelines <strong>of</strong> the Department <strong>of</strong> Justice Asset Forfeiture Fund.<br />
This funding would be available under the terms <strong>of</strong> the current MODs established<br />
pursuant to the provisions <strong>of</strong>28 DSC § 524. The participating Agencies agree to abide<br />
by the terms <strong>of</strong> the applicable Federal statutes and Department <strong>of</strong> Justice guidelines and<br />
policy relative to the payment <strong>of</strong> overtime from the Department <strong>of</strong> Justice Asset<br />
Forfei~ure Fund. The LPD is recognized under Texas law as a law enforcement Agency<br />
and their investigators as sworn law enforcement <strong>of</strong>ficers. If required or requested, the<br />
LPD shall be responsible for demonstrating to the Department <strong>of</strong> Justice that its<br />
personnel are law enforcement <strong>of</strong>ficers for purposes <strong>of</strong> overtime payment from the<br />
Department <strong>of</strong> Justice Asset Forfeiture Fund.<br />
In accordance with this provision and the current MOD on Asset Forfeiture, the Group<br />
Supervisor shall be responsible for certifying requests for overtime expenses incurred as a<br />
result <strong>of</strong> this agreement. Proceeds <strong>of</strong> any legal forfeiture arising out <strong>of</strong> an operation<br />
under this MOD will be divided equally among the participants in accordance with<br />
applicable Federal law and the policies and guidelines <strong>of</strong> the Department <strong>of</strong> Justice Asset<br />
Forfeiture Fund. This MOD does not allocate or ensure that ATF has funds or will make<br />
any payments with regard to overtime to State and local Task Force Officers.<br />
A TF Agent Cashier funds will normally be available for the purchase <strong>of</strong> evidence,<br />
informant expenses, and investigative expenses relating to criminal violations that fall<br />
within its jurisdiction. ATF will also provide access to pr<strong>of</strong>essional training and<br />
laboratory services and may activate its Special Response Team(s) or the National<br />
Response Team, if necessary.
ATF, when appropriate, will supply intelligence <strong>of</strong>ficers, auditors and financial analysts.<br />
4. General Guidelines: While all personnel assigned under this MOU will give<br />
primary considerations to the regulations and guidelines imposed by their own Agency,<br />
they will be mindful <strong>of</strong> those imposed by the other participants. When acting under<br />
USMS authority requested under this MOU, the participants agree that Federal policies<br />
and procedures are controlling. Accordingly, deputized personnel will:<br />
• Receive training in ATF firearms, vehicle stops, and defense tactics policies, as<br />
well as legal matters and correspondence, and reporting matters.<br />
• Comply with ATF enforcement policy regarding the use <strong>of</strong> firearms, financial and<br />
property controls, investigative techniques, and supervisory controls.<br />
• Qualify with their respective firearms, using and complying with ATF's firearms<br />

AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE ADVANCED FUNDING AGREEMENT<br />
6-<strong>21</strong>-10 (AMENDMENT #1) WITH THE TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FOR THE<br />
AIRPORT INDUSTRIAL STREETS PROJECT, FURTHER IDENTIFIED AS CSJ# 0922-33-138, IN<br />
ORDER TO ALLOCATE AN ADDITIONAL $660,<strong>21</strong>7.20 IN FUNDS TO THE PROJECTS. FUNDS<br />
ARE AVAILABLE IN THE CAPITAL GRANTS FUND.<br />
INITIATED BY: I STAFF SOURCE:<br />
Jesus Olivares, Assistant <strong>City</strong> Manager Keith Selman, Director <strong>of</strong>Planmng<br />
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: On February 2,2008, <strong>City</strong> Council approved Ordinance No. 2008-0-<br />
018 which authorized the <strong>City</strong> Manager to accept and execute a funding agreement with the Texas Department<br />
<strong>of</strong> Transportation in the amount <strong>of</strong>$19,050,000.00 with a local match <strong>of</strong>$I,496,480.00 and to amend the FY 2007-<br />
2008 Capital Grants Fund by appropriating said funds for the proposed reconstruction <strong>of</strong> streets located within the truck<br />
route and various industrial parks. On February 16, <strong>2010</strong> <strong>City</strong> Council approved Resolution 20 IO-R-O 10 authorizing<br />
the execution <strong>of</strong> the original agreement.<br />
BACKGROUND:<br />
The passage <strong>of</strong> the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA<br />
LU) <strong>of</strong>2005 authorized the implementation <strong>of</strong> the Coordinated Border Infrastructure (CBI) program. The purpose <strong>of</strong> the<br />
program is to improve the safe movement <strong>of</strong> motor vehicles at or across the land border between the U.S. and Canada,<br />
and the land border between the U.S. and Mexico. Funds will be distributed to border States by formula based on<br />
factors related to the movement <strong>of</strong> people and goods through the ports <strong>of</strong> entry. Finally, projects approved for funding<br />
under said program will generally require a 20 % local match.<br />
On March 30, 2006, the Texas Transportation Commission approved Minute Order 110481, wherein the eighty one<br />
million, eight hundred sixty seven thousand, two hundred twenty one dollars ($ 81,867,2<strong>21</strong>) were allocated to the <strong>Laredo</strong><br />
District. Of that total, fifty four million ($ 54,000,000) was identified for use within <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Laredo</strong> area.<br />
On August 20, 2007, <strong>City</strong> Council authorized Staff to submit project eligibility review applications for the following<br />
projects: Cuatro Vientos R.O.W acquisition, Industrial Parks Street Reconstruction, and the construction <strong>of</strong> seven new<br />
booths at Bridge 4. The Federal Highway Administration subsequently approved all three projects for funding under the<br />
CBI program. Those funds have been programmed such that, in this case, nineteen million, fifty thousand dollars<br />
($19,050,000) will be used for the reconstruction <strong>of</strong> those street located with the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Laredo</strong>'s industrial parks and its<br />
truck route. The goal <strong>of</strong> the project is to convert these high commercial traffic streets, from asphalt to the concrete, and<br />
thus enhance their durability and performance. It is the <strong>City</strong>'s responsibility is to contribute an amount equal to twenty<br />
percent (20%) <strong>of</strong> total project costs, or three million, eight hundred thousand ($3,800,000).<br />
On November 8,2007, the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Laredo</strong> submitted an application to the Texas Transportation Commission requesting<br />
matching funds relief through the Economically Disadvantaged Counties Program. The application requested one<br />
hundred percent (100%) relief <strong>of</strong> the above mentioned twenty percent (20%) matching fund requirement. On November<br />
20 t \ 2007, the <strong>City</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Laredo</strong> was notified it was granted a downward adjustment <strong>of</strong> sixty two percent (62%), and<br />
thereby reduced the <strong>City</strong>'s required twenty percent (20%) contribution from $3,800,000 to one million, four hundred<br />
ninety six thousand, four hundred eighty dollars ($1,496,480).<br />
THIS AMENDMENT - approximately an additional $660,<strong>21</strong>7.20 in both Coordinate Border Infrastructure<br />
(CBI) ($400,000) American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) ($260,<strong>21</strong>7.20) funds shall be allocated<br />
to the project.<br />
(See attachment C <strong>of</strong> the agreement for detailed funding amounts)<br />

Proposed Work Plan<br />
Bus Rapid Transit Plan for the <strong>Laredo</strong> Urban Transportation Study<br />
As stated in the <strong>Laredo</strong> Urban Transportation Study (MPO)'s RFP, the objectives <strong>of</strong> this study include:<br />
1. Evaluate existing conditions, including transit generators and attrac~rs, future hubs, transit<br />
service and demand and report on Boardings and Alightings by stop,Route structure, Fleet<br />
Requirements, Capital Needs Assessment, Specifically where the HUBs will be located and how<br />
the BRT will be structured to the HUB<br />
2. Evaluate future conditions based on socio-economic forecasts, existing plans by the MPO and<br />
proposed scenarios that integrates with the HUB<br />
3. Provide alternative recommendations regarding changes to the existing system to implement<br />
bus rapid transit service<br />
4. Develop an implementation plan to include recommended potential proposed location <strong>of</strong> new<br />
facilities (such as HUBs to be interconnected by the BRT system), identify service corridors,<br />
estimated service cost and anticipated revenues, possible revenue sources, and establishment<br />
<strong>of</strong> circular and direct routes<br />
5. Recommendations will address short and long-term strategies and alternatives and be<br />
financially described<br />
6. Identify possible funding sources for the implementation and operation <strong>of</strong> bus rapid transit,<br />
other than usual revenue sources as mentioned on other studies/ to identify new funding<br />
sources<br />
7. Ensure public participation in the development <strong>of</strong> the study, including participation and<br />
presentations to the MPO technical and policy committees, <strong>City</strong> council and transit board.<br />
In order to accomplish these objectives, ARCADIS proposes the following work plan. The proposed work<br />
plan includes a scope <strong>of</strong> work, project schedule and cost.<br />
Scope a/Work<br />
Task 1- Project Management<br />
• Project setup and initiation - The entire ARCADIS project team will review the work plan, roles<br />
and responsibilities to ensure coordination between project staff in three <strong>of</strong>fices and to ensure<br />
consistent understanding <strong>of</strong> the work tasks, schedule and deliverables.<br />
• Client coordination - will occur primarily through regular communication between ARCADIS<br />
project manager and MPO project manager<br />
~ARCADIS Page 11
Proposed Work Plan<br />
Bus Rapid Transit Plan for the <strong>Laredo</strong> Urban Transportation Study<br />
• Team coordination - will occur primarily through regular internal conference calls <strong>of</strong> project<br />
team staff in <strong>Laredo</strong>, Houston and Atlanta<br />
• Monthly progress reporting - detailing progress on each work task, identifying upcoming<br />
activities, reporting on the overall schedule, and identifying any outstanding issues; to be<br />
submitted monthly to the MPO's PM<br />
Task 2 - Collect and Organize Data<br />
• Previous studies<br />
• GIS mapping<br />
• Traffic and travel data (including MPO travel forecasts)<br />
• Transit data (including existing routes, service characteristics, ridership, and expansions plans)<br />
• Socio-economic data (including existing and future population and employment data)<br />
• Land use data (including existing and future adopted land uses)<br />
Task 3 - Summarize Existing and Future Background Conditions<br />
• Identify and describe the existing transportation system (highways and transit) in the context <strong>of</strong><br />
the MPO form (Le. the basic land use pattern and densities, the basic transportation system<br />
configuration and travel patterns)<br />
• Summarize Boardings and Alightings by stop, route structure, fleet requirements, capital needs<br />
assessment, specifically where the HUBs will be located and how the BRT will be structured to<br />
the HUB<br />
• Summarize the existing transit service and characteristics (Le. Where and whom does it serve<br />
What are the existing ridership levels)<br />
• Identify and describe future demand for travel and transit - based on MPO travel forecasts and<br />
socio-economic forecasts and how that integrates with the HUB, adopted future land use plan,<br />
and available forecasts <strong>of</strong> border travel growth<br />
Task 4 - Define BRT Objectives<br />
• Based on the findings <strong>of</strong>Tasks 2 and 3, and on input received in Task 8 outreach, define the<br />
overall objectives for the BRT Plan. These will build upon goals identified already in the <strong>Laredo</strong><br />
Metropolitan Transportation Plan and the Comprehensive Plan. These may include objectives<br />
such as:<br />
~ARCADIS Page I 2
Proposed Work Plan<br />
Bus Rapid Transit Plan for the <strong>Laredo</strong> Urban Transportation Study<br />
o<br />
o<br />
o<br />
o<br />
Improve transit travel times in the area's priority transit corridors<br />
Increase the transit-carrying capacity within key travel corridors<br />
Increase transit service reliability, efficiency and/or cost effectiveness<br />
Increase regional transit system connectivity<br />
• ARCADIS will define the BRT Plan objectives for agreement with the MPO's project manager<br />
prior to developing alternate scenarios as described below in Task 5.<br />
Task 5 -Identify Alternate Transit Expansion Scenarios<br />
• Develop up to three alternate scenarios for expansion <strong>of</strong> the transit system, including potential<br />
BRT corridors, type <strong>of</strong> BRT (Le. arterial BRT, express bus BRT, dedicated guideway BRT, etc.),<br />
hubs for connecting service, and changes to existing service to compliment proposed scenarios<br />
• Describe the three alternate transit scenarios including service concepts, general infrastructure<br />
requirements, and relative pros and cons <strong>of</strong> each scenario. The relative pros and cons will<br />
include assessments <strong>of</strong> land use compatibility, likely ridership potential, likely infrastructure<br />
requirements and relative costs, and travel patterns served. This preliminary assessment will be<br />
documented in a technical memo for review and discussion with MPO staff and key<br />
stakeholders.<br />
Task 6 - Select and Refine Preferred Transit Scenario<br />
• From the information presented and discussed in Task 5, and in consultation with the MPO,<br />
ARCADIS will identify the preferred BRT Plan scenario.<br />
• ARCADIS will further refine a preliminary service plan for the preferred scenario, describing the<br />
intended types <strong>of</strong> service and infrastructure requirements within each priority BRT corridor.<br />
• Identify appropriate design standards and supporting infrastructure improvements (including<br />
improvements in complimentary modes such as walking, biking, parking) for the preferred<br />
scenario<br />
• Develop planning-level cost estimates for the preferred scenario<br />
Task 7 - Implementation Plan<br />
• Develop a proposed implementation plan for the preferred scenario<br />
• Identify elements <strong>of</strong> the recommended BRT Plan that could be implemented for in short-term<br />
(0-5 years), medium-term (5-10 years) and long-term (10+ years)<br />
~ARCADIS Page I 3
Proposed Work Plan<br />

• Investigate non-traditional revenue sources as mentioned on other studies/ to identify potential<br />
new funding sources<br />
• Identify necessary next steps to implement the BRT Plan<br />
Task 8 - Involvement and Coordination<br />
• Public information - develop a project Fact Sheet describing the purpose and schedule for this<br />
project; develop content to add to the MPO's web site describing this study, it's purposes, the<br />
schedule, and identifying opportunities for input<br />
• Public outreach - conduct two public open house meetings - the first public meeting will be<br />
conducted to solicit input into the needs and opportunities for enhanced transit service; the<br />
second public meeting will be conducted to share the scenarios identified in Task 5 and solicit<br />
input<br />
• Stakeholder Interviews - conduct up to 10 interviews with key stakeholders to be identified by<br />
the MPO; these may include property owners, agency staff, business owners, community<br />
representatives or others; interviews may be conducted via telephone or face-to-face as suits<br />
each stakeholder.<br />
• Agency Coordination - participate and present the study to the MPO technical and policy<br />
committees, <strong>City</strong> council and transit board up to twice each; recommend conducting these<br />
presentations once early in the study process and the second time upon formulation <strong>of</strong><br />
preliminary findings and recommendations.<br />
