Its members participate in regular meetings (at least once a month) and are very active in parks and recreation matters.

During the meeting of January 29,2007, members of the Parks and Recreation Board were briefed regarding the powers and duties of the Tree Board and agreed to take over such responsibilities, which include reviewing landscaping plans for compliance with section 24-83 of the Land Development Code and requesting changes to the proposed plans if necessary.

Staff recommends the following conditions:

1. Parking shall comply with the Laredo Land Development Code at all times. 2. The C.U.P. shall be issued Jose R. Brizuela and is nontransferable. 3. The C.U.P. is restricted to the activities describe in letter, Exhibit "Awhich is made part hereof for all purposes. 4. The C.U.P. is restricted to the site plan, Exhibit "B", which is made part hereof for all purposes. 5. The owner must plant and maintain two (2) trees and six (6) shrubs. 6.

COUNCIL COMMUNICATION DATE: SUBJECT: MOTION Consider a recommendation to accept a qualified bid submitted by sole bidder UETA 5-7-07 of Texas, Inc., for a Duty-Free I Gift Shop Retail Concession at the airport passenger \ terminal located at 5210 Bob Bullock Loop at the Laredo International Airport and to 1 bring back an Ordinance for introduction. INITIATED BY: Cynthia Collazo STAFF SOURCE: Jose L. Flores Deputy City Manager Airport Director

1 I PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: City Council has approved previous concession agreements with UETA I

BACKGROUND: UETA is currently operating on a month to month tenancy since July 31, 2005. Azteca Airlines suspended service during April 2005 and since then UETA's monthly rent obligation has been $1,000 per month rent in accordance with the lease/concession agreement in the absence of international passenger service. Staff deferred soliciting bids until now because staff believes that we are close to attracting one or two airlines to provide intemational passenger service.

On March 22, 2007, the City received a qualified bid for the management and operation of a Duty-Free I Gift Shop Retail Concession. UETA of Texas, Inc. submitted the sole bid.

The bid specifications required entering into a lease agreement for five (5) years and a minimum twelve (12%) percent of annual gross sales or a guaranteed minimum annual concession fee of $25,000.00 for each twelve (12) month period of the agreement, whichever is greater.

The Airport Sub-committee on Rates and Charges and the full Committee considered the fact that UETA of Texas' bid was qualified. The minimum bid required by the bid specs was $25,000 per year or 12 percent of gross sales whichever amount is greater. The UETA bid was for $30,000 per year or 12% of gross sales which ever is greater, exceeding the minimum annual guaranty required by the bid specs by $5,000.00. However, UETA offered to pay $1,000 per month for those months that the airport is without international commercial passenger service.

The $1,000 per month is the current minimum rent being paid by UETA. However, in the bid specifications the minimum required was increased to $25,000. We are optimistic that we will in the near future have international scheduled passenger service restored and this would trigger the higher $30,000.00 per year minimum annual guarantee.

The Committee inquired about the public notice given. Staff responded that Public Notice was published in the Laredo Morning Times and that the two known potential bidders, Duty Frees, in town were notified by hand delivery of the bid spec package. That the principal of H. K. Global was personally contacted by Airport Staff of the bid solicitation and again contacted prior to bid opening advising of the bid due date.

The Committees discussed re-bidding, the risk of not receiving a bid if re-bidding is decided because of only two potential local bidders, the fact that the one bid is exposed and the discussion made note that Airport Staff twice contacted the principal of H. K. Global to solicit a bid being the other potential bidder. The Committee considered that at present we do not have international schedule passenger service and the customer service being provided by UETA by selling mostly candy, newspapers, magazines and other non-duty free merchandise.

FlNAMCIAL IMPACT: $1,000 per month wio international commercial scheduled passenger service $2,500 per month with international commercial scheduled passenger service = $30,000 per year or 12 percent of gross receipts which ever amount is greater.

SPECIAL PROVISION FOR INSTALLATION: Although accidents are used to determine the priority of installation, City Council will exercise the option to use a recommendation from a committee consisting of the Traffic Director, Chief of Police, Chief of Fire Department and City Manager to install speed humps on a street where it is determined that a specific traffic safety hazard exists. City Council will make the final decision to install the speed humps under this special provision and could require the use of their respective discretionary funds for the cost involved in the installation of the speed humps.

On September 6, 2006, Council Member Johnny Arnaya requested a speed hump study at Buenavista Avenue. The study indicated that the street did not qualifl for speed humps. The Traffic Safety Department submitted to the Speed Hump Committee a request for installation of speed humps under the Special Provision of the Speed Hump Ordinance. The Speed Hump Committee is recommending the installation of four speed humps on Buenavista Avenue between East San Jose Street and East Ash Street.

Council Member Johnny Amaya has approved the use of City Council District IV discretionary funds to pay for all installation costs; project costs are estimated at $7,200.00.

1 PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: Authorized a contract award to Coban Research and Technologies Inc., at the April 2, 2007 City Council meeting. Authorized the City's participation in the Houston Galveston Area Council of Governments (H-GAC) cooperative purchasing program.

BACKGROUND: City Council authorization is requested to rescind the purchase award of April 2, 2007 to Coban Technologies for the purchase of fifty four (54) mobile data terminals with camera system for the new police sedans. The contract pricing provided by Coban did not include the cost for an extended warranty, a GPS module that would transmit the vehicles location to Police dispatch and did not include installation. In negotiating the final contract document, the pricing provided by Coban with these additional requirements far exceeded the Police Department's budget allocation for this project. Staff contacted Motorola for a proposal that included the required mobile data terminal (MDT),camera system, a three year warranty, the GPS system, and installation.
