PRESENTATION ITEMS:
5. 22-1788 Briefing on RSK Transportation request for incentive
Vice-President Tamez referred to item 5. Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Corpus
Christi Regional Economic Development Corporation Mike Culbertson presented the
RSK Transportation Project. Mr. Culbertson stated the Corpus Christi Regional
Economic Development Corporation (CCREDC) received an application from RSK
Transportation for incentives to reconstruct Beaden Drive. The company has experienced
damages to their equipment and challenges accessing the location due to the current
road conditions. RSK currently has 28 full-time employees in the Corpus Christi location.
They wish to expand by adding another building with an estimated investment of$1.2
million and adding 50 part-time jobs. The company does not wish to move forward with
the expansion unless the road is improved. The EDC Board does not recommend
approval of the grant because the return on investment was too low, less than 12% over 5
years. Current Pavement Condition Index (PCI) is 43 due to heavy usage. The city
recommended building a concrete road at a cost of$1.5 million. Of the three companies
on the street, one submitted a letter of support.
Board Members, Mr. Culbertson and City Manager Peter Zanoni discussed the following
topics: whether a driveway could be constructed on Leopard street as an entry; the rules
of procedures regarding denied projects brought from the EDC to the Type B Board;
commercial businesses pay a higher street user fee; the life span of concrete versus
asphalt; the repairs to the street will be an asset for the city; street repair for private
property should not come to the Type B board; the concurrence of the board was to take
no further action;
