LOW BARRIER HOMELESS SHELTERS
I am opposed to low (or no) barrier homeless
shelters in Corpus Christi and the City staff's push
for one. This is not a solution and presents
additional issues, problems and costs for a City
already severely burdened with its services and
finances. In a study of a similar shelter, there were
over 1000 additional police calls to the shelter in
less than 2 years. It has not worked in San Antonio,
San Francisco, Seattle, Louisville, etc. and the lack of
success is a fundamental problem.
Provide an email to
receive a copy of your
submission.
The City needs to support facilities and programs
that provide a 'hand up'! Not a'handout"! I
suggest funneling the $4 mm received to these type
of programs to help the homeless and get them
back to being a productive individual in society.
Do your homework and understand the issues,
motivations and needs. Simply supporting a 'feel
good' option to be politically correct is
unacceptable for a leader of our City.
I am requesting that you vote against a low/ no
barrier homeless facility in Corpus.

LOW BARRIER HOMELESS SHELTER
I am against a low barrier homeless shelter. The
problem is self sustaining so guidance is a means of
teaching the skills to rise from the depths of
despair. Handouts never work!! Tools must be
provided and skills taught for people who don't
know where to turn. With the grant that has been
awarded to the city, someone who has been
educated and demonstrated success in this area
should be selected to develop a curriculum. Often

and are able to connect with those wanting to make
a change in their lives. Desire and pride are
absolutely necessary.
In utilizing skilled personnel rather than individuals
who believe in handouts, progress can be achieved.
Self -pride is the basis for success. A facility where
the homeless can seek refuge without supervision
invites crime, filth, disease and the list goes on. As a
former caseworker I have witnessed numerous
situations in which people created a new way of life
because they invested themselves.

Topic Comprehensive Safety Plan Near Beach
Piers/Jetties/Rocky Structures
Describe Feedback:
Fatalities & rescues have continued at our beaches
& research tells us that dangerous rip currents
persist around jetties, piers and rocky formations.
These rip currents are known as Structurally
Controlled Rip Currents. It is recommended that
swimmers stay 100-500 feet from these structures
in an effort to avoid being caught in a rip current. I
am here to ask the City to consider a plan that

reinforces safety near jetties & piers. We lost our
son in 2019 near a jetty. And, since we created the
Je'Sani Smith Foundation to help drive rip current
awareness. We have delivered messaging to
beachgoers during high traffic seasons, invested in a
billboard & PSA's with the support & donations
from the Port of Corpus Christi & Nueces County.
However, we need to find a more comprehensive
solution to these Structurally Controlled Rip
Currents. Let's work together to bring a solution &
eliminate tragedies for our beachgoing community.
Everyone deserves to return home after a day at
the beach.

Topic Mayor's open door policy rather through "in-
person" or/and "phone" ?
Describe Feedback: Why are my phone calls to the Utilities NEVER
answered, along with person to person visit to
dispute bill charges. I realize that we are presently
in a pandemic status and live visit are not possible
but my concerns stem from WAY before the virus
arrived. The Utility Department supervisor is really
the person i would like visit with, with documents
(bills) in hand. So whenever possible i would like set
up a date for a meeting, that's why the above date
reads 11/05/2020. thank you.
