D. Improve enforcement of code violations (shorter response time, more aggressive

Vision Element #2: Infrastructure and Public Services Rated Sound, Reliable
Fiscally Responsible
A. Create an uninterruptible water supply; complete a plan for criteria to move forward on
a supply after studies are completed.

needs and how to best manage the City's storm water budget (including its governance

growth in Corpus Christi, and evaluate the City's continued growth areas and projects
that may be required in the future.
D. Review and consider a restructure of development fees.
Vision Element #3: Greater Downtown (including North Beach) Increasingly
Vibrant, Natural Assets Strengthened

C. Reduce vagrancy to increase feelings of safety among Corpus Christi residents,
visitors, and employees, and reclaim the City's assets such as its seawall, beaches, and
downtown parks (measured by an increase in foot traffic and improved survey findings
on nighttime safety).
D. Enhance the City's entertainment corridor and its facilitation of special events,
increasing revenue to downtown tenants, and increasing attractiveness to users.
E. Develop a strategy regarding North Beach improvements including funding options and
evaluation of best ways to improve North Beach.
Vision Element#4: New Residents and Businesses Increase Community
Prosperity; Community Satisfaction with City Skyrockets
A. Improving Development Services' performance by requiring them to meet or exceed
existing standards; if not corrected within 12 months, the City should look to outsource
these (similar to the City of Portland, Texas).
B. Housing initiative: Modify existing codes to facilitate the improvement of older
structures (homes) to create a safety code that does not require full compliance with
current code; and authorize the use of surplus City property for housing development by
the end of current Council terms via an approved policy.
C. Improve the cleaning, maintenance, brand, and the range of allowable activities on
beaches (especially water sports) resulting in a more satisfied customer.
D. Reform/improve Parks and Recreation operations to improve activity options within the
City including a plan of action from staff to ensure progress and improvements, including
department restructuring as needed.
E. Improved customer satisfaction ratings on subsequent surveys.
