8. Bond Projects (Jay Gardner)
a. Need to prioritize bond list. Potentials include paper streets, mobility plan,
wastewater infrastructure, community center, tennis courts, pickle ball
courts, golf cart lanes, dog park or improvements at current dog park, and
lighting.
b. Cost Estimates:
1. Paper Streets approx. $1 million ($500/linear foot) (Crows Nest &
Palmira)
2. Mobility plan between $50-100k
3. Wastewater infrastructure line from Whitecap to Billish and/or
Aquarius Park is around $250k (looking to minimize all of the
sticker burrs)
4. Community center/visitor's center/museum (cost varies, maybe a
good idea to put them all together in one building)
5. Golf cart lane (or multimodal lane) to and from JFK area ($48/linear
foot)
6. New dog park or improvements at current dog park (water from
sewer plant, sprinklers, and irrigation system) (approx. $20-25k)
Discussion of Riley P. Dog Park: originally set up as an adopt-a-
park, was water department property, discussion between Parks
and Water department never finalized.
7. Maintenance of Mary Anne's Way (wants to task city staff to
approve since it is a city right-of-way)
8. Soccer fields, basketball courts, swing sets, and lighting on the
island (no estimate and can be bumped to the city, maybe not on
bond). Discussion of charging stations as an option, maybe in the
mobility plan?Also general drainage around the island.
c. Heather Hulbert: LED lightbulb changeout citywide, will be multiple
phases, then assess where additional lighting is needed, looking to kick
that off within the next 12 months.
d. Wastewater Master Plan Study being renewed, spring 2023 predicted
results, then will use for impact fee setup
e. Prioritized projects for Bond 2022:
1. JFK Improvements (need update from HDR, question about
amendment, will it go to council and will it include engineering for
those two projects)
2. Wastewater Infrastructure Update
3. Paper Streets (TIRZ #2)
Motion by Member Dotson Lewis to request that the City of Corpus Christi revisit the
designation of the Riley P. dog park with the Parks and Recreation department and the
