HEAR FROM THE PUBLIC — none. V. BUSINESS FOR DISCUSSION /ACTION New Business Presentation from Mark Denson regarding parking on Corpus Christi Beach Mark Denson responded to questions regarding whether or not there was a way to meter the entire Corpus Christi Beach parking area. Logistically, the answer is yes but does not fall under Mr. Denson's jurisdiction. Money that comes from the downtown parking meters does not go back to the City but goes to revitalization efforts for downtown. An ordinance was passed creating Defined Benefit Districts. If an area decides to create additional revenue and would like to set up a way to charge for parking, a Defined Benefit District can be set up to fund that area. Mr. Denson recommended not doing anything until they have fully researched the project.
