  • Police Chief the City of Corpus Christi, Texas
    POLICE CHIEF THE CITY OF CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS PUBLIC SECTOR EXECUTIVE RECRUITMENT THE COMMUNITY The City of Corpus Christi is a beautiful costal city in the South Texas region, located 130 miles southeast of San Antonio. Known as the “Sparkling City by the Sea,” Corpus Christi is the Nueces County Seat, and one of the largest seaports in the United States. Spanish explorer Alonzo Alvarez de Pineda discovered the area in 1519 and settlers incorporated the city in 1852. Over the years, Corpus Christi has grown into a regional hub for marketing, processing, packaging, and distribution of agricultural commodities. Additionally, the City’s economy is diverse with a blend of various business and industries, including petrochemical, tourism, health care, retail, education, shipping, agriculture, and the military. Today, the City of Corpus Christi is the eighth largest city in Texas and the 61st largest city in the US, with a population of 327,406 based on the City’s 2020 estimate. Area attractions include the Padre Island National Seashore, Texas State Aquarium, and the USS Lexington, a retired WWII aircraft carrier, the American Bank Center, and an entertainment complex that offers an auditorium, convention center, and arena. Additionally, Corpus Christi serves as the home of Texas A&M University Islander Basketball, IceRays Hockey and AF2 Sharks football. Corpus Christi is also home to the Corpus Christi Hooks, a minor league baseball team of the Texas League, the Double-A affiliate of the Houston Astros baseball team. Citizens have access to a wide variety of arts and culture facilities and world class museums.

  • San Antonio Missions National Historical Park (PDF)
    A fact sheet from 2017 Marcia Argust/The Pew Charitable Trusts Repairing door beams at Mission San José—one of the four protected within the park—is part of a $7.4 million maintenance backlog. Carol Highsmith/Library of Congress San Antonio Missions National Historical Park Texas Overview San Antonio Missions National Historical Park is one of America’s cultural treasures, designated in 2015 as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The park preserves four Spanish frontier missions built in the 1700s for Franciscan friars who hoped to convert the Native Americans to Catholicism. Over time, the Spanish and local tribes built a new culture in what is now South Texas. Drawing more than a million visitors a year, the park is also a boon to San Antonio’s economy. But it faces a maintenance backlog of $7.3 million that includes restoring the missions and key infrastructure. Maintenance challenges The park’s most urgent repairs are to its historic buildings and visitor center. The center is more than 20 years old and needs more than a half-million dollars to update its interpretive displays. Nearly $400,000 is needed to repair the office and sacristy of the Franciscan father-president, who oversaw development of the missions. A compound where Native Americans lived, and the walls that encircle it, also requires restoration at a cost of $600,000. Repair needs go beyond the buildings that define San Antonio Missions. Several parking lots are showing their age and require almost a million dollars to resurface, and its water and communication systems are deteriorating and must be replaced.

  • Evaluates and Plans for the Transportation Needs of the Nueces and San Patricio County Areas
    CSJ 0101-06-095 Affected Environment 3.0 AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT 3.1 LAND USE 3.1.1 History and Development Trends Permanent settlement in the area that would eventually become Corpus Christi began in the 1840s when Henry L. Kinney and William P. Aubrey established a trading post on the west shore of what is now called Corpus Christi Bay. In 1846, Corpus Christi became the county seat of newly formed Nueces County, and by the 1850s the city was laid out with numbered streets. After the Civil War, the city emerged as an important shipping center when the main ship channel was dredged to accommodate large steam ships. The first railroad arrived in 1875, with three more rail lines following by 1914 (Long 2012a). Mayor Roy Miller adopted an aggressive modernization program in 1913. In three years, the City had paved 12 miles of existing streets, constructed two miles of new streets, laid 26 miles of sanitary and storm sewers, built a garbage incinerator, and installed a new water system (WPA 1942, 169). Though travelers crossing Nueces Bay had utilized a raised oyster reef between the Nueces and Corpus Christi Bays since the 1840s, a reinforced concrete causeway was completed in 1915 (Givens and Moloney 2011, 11; 195). A hurricane in 1919 destroyed much of North Beach and the downtown area. The city was rebuilt quickly, and in 1926 a deep water port was opened to accommodate large vessels, ushering in a period of growth and prosperity for the area. The following year, a bascule bridge (drawbridge) was constructed over the Inner Harbor and opened to the traveling public.
