Christian Lentz stated that other service providers throughout Corpus Christi will be contacted to help with providing those materials. Additionally, all of the materials will be printable. Alissa Mejia asked how outreach will be performed for the underserved communities. Christian Lentz stated that there will also be intercept surveys for those situations that will be provided via curbside or drive-by services. Twila Stevens asked whether the park designations described in the current master plan will still apply to those parks after the updated master plan, and whether the amenities chosen for parks will be compatible with neighboring homes. Christian Lentz stated that the master plan will definitely speak to having appropriate facilities/amenities for parks depending on the type of park they’re being installed in.
