HomeMy WebLinkAbout031222 RES - 08/15/2017 Resolution directing the City Manager to fund repair of
selected streets impacted by the Harbor Bridge Relocation
Project using the financing option which provides the lowest
cost to the City.
WHEREAS, during the City Council Workshop on July 13, 2017, City staff identified four city
streets, referenced below in need of repair, resurfacing and/or reconstruction as they will be
impacted by the upcoming TXDOT Harbor Bridge Replacement Project: and
• Timon Boulevard from Coastal Avenue to Sandbar Avenue;
• Surfside Boulevard from Coastal Avenue to Reef Avenue;
• Lipan Street from Crosstown Expressway to Upper Broadway;
• Comanche Street from Crosstown Expressway to Staples Street.
WHEREAS, these street projects must be started in 2017 so that the construction does not
adversely impact or delay TXDOT's Harbor Bridge Replacement Project, therefore they cannot
be added to the 2018 Bond Program; and
WHEREAS, City Council instructed the City Manager at the July 13, 2017 workshop to search for
any available funding in City accounts that might be used to pay for the four referenced street
projects; and
WHEREAS, during the August 8, 2017 City Council meeting, city staff reported to City Council
that they were unable to locate any available funding in existing City accounts to pay for the
referenced street projects; and
WHEREAS, during the same meeting, City Council directed the City Manager to explore alternate
debt financing options for the referenced street projects at the lowest cost to the City.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CORPUS
CHRISTI, TEXAS:
SECTION 1. That the findings of the City Council and its actions approving this Resolution are
hereby approved and adopted.
SECTION 2. That the City Manager is directed to fund repair of selected streets impacted by
the Harbor Bridge Relocation Project using the financing option which provides the lowest cost to
the City.
