The commission considered several items that had been noticed as public hearings or placed on the consent agenda, then recessed to executive session to discuss negotiations and personnel matters under the Texas Government Code. After returning from executive session the body made motions and votes to finalize agreements discussed in private and to adjust the interim city manager’s compensation.

The actions are part of an ongoing EDC and economic development strategy discussed at previous meetings. Commissioners did not disclose detailed financial terms of the executive‑session agreements on the public record; one commissioner recorded a formal objection on the public record, saying the proposed incentive amount was “excessive” in light of recent storm impacts.

What the commission recorded and what remains unspecified
The commission frequently used the standard “all those in favor say aye” voice vote format; the transcript records motions and approvals but does not provide roll‑call tallies or details of the negotiated incentive terms. Financial terms and implementation schedules for the economic development incentive agreements were not read on the public record during the open meeting. The annexation resolution directs the planning department to prepare a service plan as required under state law.

Next steps and implementation items noted in the meeting
- The planning department will prepare the annexation service plan and proceed with the public hearing dates referenced in the annexation resolution.
- The EDC administrative agreement amendment is budgeted and will expand EDC duties to include the stated technical and janitorial services.
- Where executive‑session negotiations produced agreements, staff or legal counsel will return any required final contracts or ordinance language to the commission for publication and execution as required by law.

Chief Schuchat read portions of the proclamation, and Mayor Garza signed the document during the meeting. Chief Schuchat and several telecommunicators were introduced by name: Pardines, Alaniz, Montivas, Deis and supervisor Samuel Arroyo. The proclamation text, as read in the meeting, thanked telecommunicators as “the single vital link between first responders and persons seeking immediate relief during an emergency” and encouraged citizens to express appreciation for their service.

Also on the evening agenda, staff presented a request from the Marine Corps League, RGV Detachment No. 1456, for use of the city sports complex as the start and finish location for the detachment’s third annual “5K for Heroes” to be held in May (specific date not specified in the presentation). Commandant Polo Daza and Senior Vice Commandant Eddie Sanchez attended the meeting. Staff described the proposed route as beginning at the sports complex, heading north to the Alamo County Hike and Bike Trail, and returning to the sports complex. Staff said the event would require minimal street closures (two or three intersections/blocks) and only limited city staff assistance for cone placement and traffic direction; staff recommended approval.

Mayor Garza and commissioners thanked the telecommunicators and the Marine Corps League members for their service and community involvement. Commissioners noted the events have been hosted at the site previously and praised staff for logistical support and safety management at past events.

Ending
