Response Act Project Cooperation Agreement with the Texas
General Land Office, and a matching grant allocation of
$820,000.00 to mitigate shoreline erosion of public parks
along the Corpus Christi Bay; appropriating $820,000.00 from
the unreserved balance of the Type B Fund; and amending the
FY 2025 Operating Budget. (6 votes required)
WHEREAS, the City of Corpus Christi's Parks & Recreation Department, in
partnership with the Texas General Land Office (TGLO), under the Coastal
Erosion Planning & Response Act (CEPRA), proposes to enter into a project
cooperation agreement to address stabilizing the eroding shorelines/elevated
bluffs of the following public parks along the Corpus Christi Bay: Cole Park
(Oleander Point), Ropes Park & Poenisch Park; and
WHEREAS, these shoreline parks not only provide bayfront viewing/bay access, but
also function as neighborhood parks that are easily accessible by walking, bicycles or
scooters. These parks are much closer to nearby neighborhoods than Gulf beaches,
making them a lower cost option for waterfront activities; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of this TGLO project is to design hybrid solutions that
will reduce erosion of bluffs adjacent to shorelines and in the process, increase
stability of small pocket beaches that provide public access to the bay; and
WHEREAS, recognizing the significance in reducing ongoing erosion of shoreline
parks, on November 11, 2024, the Corpus Christi B Corporation held a public hearing
and approved a business incentive for Texas General Land Office in the amount of
$820,000 for an upfront request to mitigate shoreline erosion of public parks along the
Corpus Christi Bay; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL FOR THE
CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS:
SECTION 1. The City Council authorizes a Coastal Erosion Planning and
Response Act Project Cooperation Agreement with the Texas General Land
Office.
SECTION 2. The City Council approves a matching grant
allocation of $820,000.00 to mitigate shoreline erosion of
public parks along the Corpus Christi Bay.
SECTION 3. The City Council approves appropriating $820,000.00 for the
