I would like to comment in writing below:
Both the Water Rights Permit and the Waste Water
Discharge Permit to build a 20 MMGD Desalination
Plant on inner Harbor should be denied due to the
detrimental effect on the CC Bay ecological systems
and the socio-economic problems that would be
created by this plant being built with its huge
construction cost, not to mention the gigantic

operating costs to operate, maintain and administer
this project, of which the largest cost to operate
would be that associated with the electrical energy
consumption of this operation. This in itself raises
other major huge issues such as:
1. How will the electrical energy be generated?
2. Will there be a dedicated new infrastructure grid
for this added generated energy? or;
3. Will the generated energy be integrated to an
existing grid?
4. How will this added electrical energy by
distributed?
5. Who will pay for this. What will the impact be on
water/electricity bills?

Topic Homeless Crisis
Describe Feedback:
The city of Corpus Christi needs to come together as
a community and help one another, regardless of
their status. We're all humans who share the same
survival requirements: food, water, and shelter.
Cities across America are taking part in helping to
better their community by creating "tiny home
villages for the homeless". Not only will this help
take a great percentage of the homeless off the
streets, but it will also give them a sense of dignity
and comfort. In south texas, the weather conditions

are horrible. The homeless can die from heat stroke
or dehydration. From the community, we are asking
you to have a sense of empathy. Tiny houses are
cheap, and keep the homeless off the streets -
making the streets safer for all. As I have talked to
many homeless individuals, they don't like the
homeless shelters that are already around the area.
They say they feel unsafe, and they're usually
unsanitary. Don't forget that Corpus Christi was
ranked amongst one of the most dangerous cities.
