REQUESTING THAT CERTAIN ROAD MAINTENANCE
PROJECTS BE UNDERTAKEN BY NUECES COUNTY,
AND GRANTING CONSENT.
Whereas, a $10 fee added to the cost of a vehicle license plate or its renewal provides
about $2 million annually to the Nueces County Road and Bridge Fund, and based on records
of the Texas Department of Transportation, 93 % of this money is paid by residents or
businesses in the City of Corpus Christi; and,
Whereas, for many years this money collected from Corpus Christi's residents has been
used by Nueces County exclusively to improve and maintain roads outside Corpus Christi,
while taxpayers in Corpus Christi have also paid taxes to the City to take care of roads in the
city limits; and,
Whereas, the street infrastructure is aging and maintenance requirements are
increasing, and it seems reasonable that some of the monies paid by Corpus Christi residents
to Nueces County be returned for road maintenance projects in Corpus Christi.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS:
Section 1. The Nueces County Commissioners' Court is hereby requested that the
following projects be undertaken during the next twelve months by Nueces County, or that
Nueces County reimburse the City of Corpus Christi for the costs of the projects:

Construct a hot mix asphalt structural overlay.
Estimated cost: $240,000.
