NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Under Corpus Christi City Charter Article X, Section 1(a)(12) and Texas
Transportation Code Chapter 313, the city council determines that it is necessary to improve and
orders the improvement of the following highways in the city:
Harvard Street --Prescott Street to Vestal Street
Vitemb Street --Hudson Street to Rosalie Street
Vestal Street --Hudson Street to about 150 IS. South of Rosalie Street
Rosalie Street--Vitemb Street to about 150 1.f. West of Vitemb Street
(north side only)
(collectively, the "Harvard Street Improvements Project")(the "Project").
As specified in more detail in Project plans and specifications, the Harvard Street
Improvements Project will include:
1. filling, grading, lowering, paving, or repairing the streets in a permanent manner;
2. widening the streets to 28 feet back of curb to back of curb;
3. constructing and realigning curbs, gutters, and sidewalks; and
4. constructing driveways.
MIUWFILMED 0232/8
For purposes of this resolution, "highway" includes any part of a street, alley, public
place, or square, including a part left wholly or partly unimproved in connection with another
street improvement.
SECTION 2. The Project consists of 3 categories of improvements: a) street, curb,
gutter, and sidewalk improvements to be paid for partly by the city and partly by assessments; b)
driveways to be paid for entirely by assessments; and c) other improvements, to be paid for by
the city, because either the assessment statute does not apply to these improvements or the city is
not making assessments to pay for them. An assessment against abutting property or affected
railway property will create a lien on the property and a personal liability and charge against the
property owner.
If property is exempt from a street improvement assessment lien when the improvements
are ordered, then no assessment lien will be created. The owner of the exempt property,
however, will be personally liable for an assessment in connection with the property.
SECTION 3. To ensure that assessment liens take effect as soon as possible, and to
ensure that the liens will apply to the fullest extent even if assessed property is subdivided or
sold, the director of engineering services will file a notice of the proposed assessments with the
Clerk of Nueces County, Texas. This notice will describe, or describe by reference, each parcel
of property abutting the proposed improvements and affected railway property, if any. The
notice will be substantially in the form attached to this resolution as Exhibit A.
