WHEREAS, the Texas Railroad Commission has been petitioned to desig-
nate a Corpus Christi commercial zone under S1(g) of the Texas Motor Carrier Act,
V.A.T.S. Article 911B (Supp. 1980); and
WHEREAS, the proposed zone includes the City of Corpus Christi, the
remainder of Nueces County, all of San Patricio County, and the Rockport and
Fulton Beach areas; and
WHEREAS, the designation of the proposed commercial zone has no legal
effect upon the operations of specialized motor carriers and carriers of liquid
bulk cargoes and has no legal effect upon the operations of carriers serving
points outside the zone; and
WHEREAS, the daily transportation of supplies and products between the
city and one or more points within the proposed zone is essential to the prosperity
of individuals, businesses and other organizations in this city; and
WHEREAS, the designation of such a commercial zone will tend to deregu-
late local carriage of goods for compensation or hire within the proposed zone,
thereby allowing transportation facilities and service within the zone to become
more flexible and responsive to market demand by offering better services; and
WHEREAS, such flexibility in schedules, tariffs, and available carriers
will facilitate the economic development of the entire zone;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS:

of the said commercial zone and encourages the Texas Railroad Commission to take
