4. Greg Smith
Comments:
1. Mr. Quigley asked that further consideration be made to the idea of creating a secondary route connecting
Port Aransas and Mustang Island to Corpus Christi to reduce congestion. Mr. Quigley has experience in
planning and is concerned that all of the propositions for traffic mediation will not be sufficient.
2. Carter Tate brought up the abandoned boats across from Snoopy's. 3 boats are currently abandoned in that
area and no one wants to claim jurisdiction over them. Carter asked that the City legal department research
who is responsible for this area and what remedies can be made.
3. The City will no longer provide the recycling dumpster located near the North Padre POA office. The
contents regularly found in this dumpster are not recycling materials and the City can no longer
accommodate providing this service as a result.
4. Greg Smith reported that rates would not be increased according to the most recent TWIA board meeting.

VII. New Business
(Chair Requested Presentation be Moved Ahead in Agenda)
Agenda Item:VII A Padre Island Hike and Bike Trail Presenter: Scott Cross
Scott Cross submitted a community recreation hike and bike trail concept application to the national park
service in Austin to seek funding sources and including match funding. The concept seeks to connect
Padre Bali Park to the national sea shore via a 10 mile hike and bike trail. Conceptually, the trail would
follow the TxDOT right of way along PR22 for the first 1.5 miles until it nears Kleberg property. Once
within the Kleberg area the trail would meander on the east side of PR22 through the coastal grasslands
avoiding the wetlands. The trail would have shaded rest areas every 2 miles which could support water
fountains because there is already established infrastructure in that area. Each shade area would also
include educational panels featuring the history and ecology of the island.
