Verify tax zone covers Briscoe King Pavilion funding

Context: Council transferred $2.1 million in TIRZ #2 funds to the Briscoe King Pavilion Project on Jan 27, 2026, after the item was pulled from the consent agenda for individual consideration.

Recommended: Pull the current TIRZ #2 (Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone) project and finance plan and confirm the Briscoe King Pavilion Project is a listed eligible expenditure — Texas Tax Code Chapter 311 restricts TIF fund use to the zone's approved project list, and pairing a $2.1 million pavilion transfer with unrelated water/wastewater reimbursement items in the same vote is worth a paper-trail check.

Seek MPM-style reimbursement deal for District 3, 5 projects

Context: Council approved MPM Development, LP's water/wastewater reimbursement agreements totaling $922,320 for subdivisions in Districts 3 and 5, passing 9-0 on Jan 27, 2026.

Recommended: If your subdivision project sits in Districts 3 or 5, ask Corpus Christi Water for a reimbursement agreement modeled on MPM Development's — the city just set a cost benchmark by funding comparable transmission-line and sewer-extension work.

Ask why five residents opposed a 9-0 water vote

Context: Jason Hale, Rachel Caballero, Susie Luna Saldana, Michael Miller, and Jim Klein all spoke during public comment on Jan 13, 2026, before the ordinance passed 9-0 on Jan 27.

Recommended: Request the public comment records or review the Jan 13 meeting video — five named Corpus Christi residents spoke against or questioned an item that was later pulled from consent for extra scrutiny, yet it still passed unanimously on both first and second reading; find out what concern council effectively overruled.

Target Campos and Barrera for future infrastructure funding asks

Context: Campos moved second-reading approval seconded by Vaughn on Jan 27, and Barrera moved first-reading approval seconded by Scott on Jan 13, 2026.

Recommended: For upcoming water/wastewater reimbursement or TIRZ funding requests, approach Council Member Campos (who moved second-reading approval) and Council Member Barrera (who moved first-reading approval) first — both carried this MPM deal through unanimously despite it being pulled from consent for added scrutiny.

Expect new water lines and subdivisions in Districts 3, 5

Context: Council funded MPM Development, LP's infrastructure agreements for transmission lines and a sewer extension serving new subdivisions in Districts 3 and 5, passed 9-0 on Jan 27, 2026.

Recommended: If you live in Districts 3 or 5, expect construction crews installing new water transmission lines and a sewer extension nearby soon — the city just paid MPM Development specifically to unlock new residential subdivisions in these districts.
