HomeMy WebLinkAbout029501 RES - 06/12/2012Resolution to authorize expenditures of $25,000 in FY 2012 and $75,000 in
FY 2013 to be used by the South Texas Military Facilities Task Force for
efforts to keep open the Corpus Christi Army Depot, Naval Air Station
Kingsville, and Naval Air Station Corpus Christi.
Whereas, the Corpus Christi Army Depot and Naval Air Station Corpus Christi total over 8,000
jobs with an economic impact of $3.6 billion;
Whereas, the Naval Air Station Kingsville reports it maintains 2,000 jobs with economic impact
of almost $500 million;
Whereas, the loss of all or any part of the total 10,000 jobs and over $4 billion of economic
impact would be devastating to entire South Texas region;
Whereas, in response of anticipated reduction in military spending and anticipated downsizing of
the military, the Corpus Christi Chamber of Commerce has reinstated the South Texas Military
Facilities Task Force to protect the region's economy and jobs;
Whereas, the South Texas Military Facilities Task Force plans to spend $300,000 on consultants,
materials, travel and research over the next 18 months to keep our bases and save jobs;
Whereas, the South Texas Military Facilities Task Force requests monies from various
municipalities, counties, the Port and the private sector, to be used for consultants, materials,
travel and research, which are necessary expenditures to compete with other areas of the nation;
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the City Council for the City of Corpus Christi, Texas:
Section 1. That the expenditures of $25,000 in FY 2012 and $75,000 in FY 2013 are authorized
to be paid to the South Texas Military Facilities Task Force for consultants, materials, travel and
research over the next 18 months to keep open the Corpus Christi Army Depot, Naval Air
Station Kingsville, and Naval Air Station Corpus Christi.
