Watershore & Beach Advisory Committee (Terry Palmer)
Discussed monitoring of Packery Channel gulf beach, committee believes that the
City of Corpus Christi Page 1 Printed on 111312022
Island Strategic Action Committee Meeting Minutes -Final September 13,2022
monitoring by the city is inadequate, city only planning to complete it once a year or after
a significant event (info from report completed by Mott MacDonald), not enough to
assuage safety concerns, made a motion concerning it at the last meeting, will likely
submit a written resolution next meeting to vote on to recommend increased monitoring
frequency, isn't enough as it is. Next month will be creating bylaws, will potentially make a
resolution for Packery Channel monitoring.
Presentation about the bay beaches erosion by Deidre Williams and Kevin Johnson
about combatting erosion along Ocean Drive parks, asked about plans for other
shorelines and parks, Kevin seemed open to discuss but nothing strategic for the area as
a whole as of yet.
Update from Darren (just before Labor Day), lifeguard stands taken down already. Issue
with heavy equipment that was photographed in the ocean, front end loader was dumping
seawater on Zahn Road, reason given was due to the drought so didn't want to use
freshwater, operator when in too far (all four wheels in). Debate on why they were putting
the water in that spot in the first place.
3. 22®0398 Parks Update
Parks & Recreation Committee (Twila Stevens)
Brief conversation regarding Riley P. Dog Park, will stay on the agenda just to monitor
progress, Kevin Johnson said they are in contact with the Water Department, haven't
heard anything back. Need an agreement between Parks and Utilities department.
Suggests that city departments get together and talk about this. City property but not
parks real estate, not an actual park, recommended some sort of licensing agreement in
lieu of a lease since it is for the whole island. Will keep everyone updated.
Jay Gardner: any talk of Commodore Park?
Twila Stevens: No, not at the last meeting. But did see the new structure going into
Galvan Park.
4. 22®0399 Engineering & Bond Updates

5. 22-0400 TIRZ#2 & Subcommittee Updates
(Heather Hurlbert) Nueces County Commissioner's Court tomorrow will be discussing
getting back into the TIRZ as well as extending the boundaries, sounds like they want to
get back on board for 50-75% for a few years and then dial it back a bit. Hopefully can
get that passed, will attend and report back.
Haven't seen the full TIRZ#2 meeting on council agenda yet, should be on in October at
some point. Already gave all ISAC recommendations,just waiting.
Dotson: what about Del Mar?
Heather Hurlbert: Del Mar is not going to commit until they see the project and financing
plan but neither have been updated yet, Del Mar seems interested but want to be briefed
before they decide.
6. 22-0402 Island ADP Committee Update
(Chair Jay Gardner) Holding off and waiting to see if the TIRZ#2 is authorized so we
know what projects to prioritize. Some can be financed through the TIRZ and others
through the ADP,just in a holding pattern.
Looking for folks to step up to serve on the ADP committee. Craig Thompson volunteers,
Meagan Furey interested but wants to discuss.

8. 22-1595 Erosion Plan
(Jay Gardner) There are erosion issues all around the city, city has joint erosion plan with
City of Corpus Christi Page 3 Printed on 111312022
Island Strategic Action Committee Meeting Minutes -Final September 13,2022
the county, but not aimed at bay beaches, city is saving state HOT in a fund that can be
matched by GLO program, alternate cycles. City needs to have an improved plan, need a
bayside erosion plan. Plan needed to both save money and infrastructure. In talking with
other chairs of other committees, would like to work on resolution or recommendation to
come up with erosion plan that is aimed at bayside beaches.
Heather Hurlbert: Almost 2 million that is used for local money for beach maintenance,
additional money from the state from their HOT that is designated for gulf beaches, can
do beach maintenance with local HOT. Not sure on the differentiation, but there are
limitations.
Jay Gardner: probably parks and engineering need to work together to create such a
plan.
Craig Thompson: seems like there needs to be some collaboration between committees
since this is citywide.
Motion by Craig Thompson to direct the ISAC chair to work with other city committee
chairs to develop a plan regarding shoreline protection and erosion citywide.
Second by Committee Member Eric Evans.
Motion carried by unanimous vote.
