The city council of Corpus Christi, Texas, is considering a fee on residential solid waste collection as a way to bring its budget into balance and still be able to spend on street repairs.
An online article prepared by the Corpus Christi Caller-Times says at a meeting Tuesday, Aug. 9, 2016, council members asked municipal staff members to prepare “a recommendation on a potential increase to the city’s solid waste fee,” according to the Caller-Times.
Council members reportedly connected the presence of heavy trucks on residential streets with the need to repair and replace pavement on those same roads and streets.
Voters in Corpus Christi also may have an opportunity to accept or reject a potential property tax increase to collect funds earmarked for road and street repairs, according to the news report.
