Lawsuit against city manager expands to Type B board, city

Corpus Christi’s Type B board and the city of Corpus Christi have been added as defendants in a lawsuit originally filed solely against City Manager Peter Zanoni related to a settlement payment for hotel developers. The litigation, pursued by company Elevate QOF LLC, had initially been filed in August . However, the petition was significantly revamped in October. The newer filing alleges that the Type B board, the city of Corpus Christi and Zanoni are in breach of contract by lack of payment in a $1.5 million settlement.
