City of Corpus Christi | City Council Meeting October 27, 2026

Corpus Christi City Council meeting, October 27, 2026. The council approved an amended lease for a temporary fleet-management repair facility after a citywide search found no suitable city-owned alternative. The facility is needed following a fire at the city’s warehouse; the lease was described as about $15,000 per month, with a 10% annual increase, for up to two years with an additional-year option. Council also approved a 40-year lease agreement discussed in connection with airport land rent and fuel-flowage fees; the proposed per-gallon fee would rise through volume-based tiers, from roughly half a cent to about 1.13 cents per gallon. The transcript does not clearly identify the other contracting party.

The council approved a resolution for the city to purchase up to 10,000 acre-feet of untreated Lake Texana water from Formosa Plastics in calendar year 2027. Members also discussed and approved a groundwater-related project involving test wells and potential water-supply benefits, while requesting further briefings on other supply options, including 7C’s. Separately, following public comment on a developer’s request for reimbursement for a water line, staff agreed to arrange a meeting within a week and council members requested a later briefing; no reimbursement decision was made. After executive session, the council approved a $250,000 payment to resolve a judgment against the city.
