Key outcomes:

- New Ingleside Volunteer Fire Department tanker accepted (motion passed; roll call: all present voted aye). The council thanked the department and authorized acceptance of the 3,000-gallon mutual-aid tanker.

- Authorization for the city manager to finalize a task-order contract with AGCM for project management services was approved. The contract authorizes AGCM to act as the city’s owner’s representative on major projects (hourly rates and task-order structure discussed in meeting). Vote: unanimous.

- Cove Park floating dock: Council approved purchase and installation of a 78-foot floating dock with two ADA gangplanks and storm-removal capability; removal of the existing dock was quoted separately. Vote: unanimous.

- Surplus declaration and interlocal sale of Tanker 140: The council declared tanker 140 surplus and authorized its sale to the City of Odem Volunteer Fire Department under an interlocal agreement. Vote: unanimous.

- Nonexclusive license for Ingleside Chamber of Commerce: Council approved a nonexclusive license allowing the chamber to locate a storage container on city property near Public Works for tourism-event supplies; the chamber must provide insurance. Vote: unanimous.

- AGCM project-management services: Authorization to enter agreement passed; staff clarified AGCM would not hold fiduciary authority to approve payments but would review and recommend on payment applications and perform on-site construction oversight.

- Ordinance, municipal court of record: The council approved first reading of an ordinance to convert the municipal court to a court of record under Chapter 30, Texas Government Code and moved it to a second reading. Council discussion focused on implementation costs, records requirements (audio recording or court reporter), and the potential for more efficient civil enforcement of nuisance and code violations if adopted. Vote on first reading: motion carried (several ayes, two nays recorded on final roll call for the first reading: Council member Wilson and Mayor Adame opposed the first-reading motion).

- Reappointment of municipal court judge: After a closed-session evaluation, the council voted not to reappoint the municipal court judge for a two-year term effective April 11 (motion carried). The council tabled consideration of the associate judge reappointment to the next meeting.

- Other routine items: The council approved a temporary waiver of pet adoption and microchipping fees for the April 5 pet adoption event, accepted monthly financial reports and routine consent items, and approved an ordinance amending the FY24–25 budget to appropriate funds for replacement roofs at various city buildings (Ordinance 2025-12). Most routine votes were unanimous on roll-call.

(Ending) For each formal action, the council recorded roll-call votes; staff was directed to return with follow-up implementation details for contracts, procurement timelines and the municipal-court transition if the second reading is approved.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Ingleside City Council Meeting 3/26/25 7:25am","oneSentenceSummary","The council approved several items including acceptance of a new volunteer fire tanker, authorization of a project-management agreement with AGCM, purchase of a floating dock for Cove Park and moved a municipal-court ordinance to second reading; the council also voted not to reappoint the municipal court judge.","taxTitle","Ingleside, San Patricio County, Texas","taxId",69594,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6042066,"Residents urge Ingleside council to deny Port of Corpus Christi solar farm permit over wetlands, safety and property concerns",809,460000,1269000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3696649-4bf5c5fde21764457410de633067cca6&start=460&end=1269","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3696649-4bf5c5fde21764457410de633067cca6/thumbnail_460000.jpg","/articles/6042066/Ingleside/San-Patricio-County/Texas/Residents-urge-Ingleside-council-to-deny-Port-of-Corpus-Christi-solar-farm-permit-over-wetlands-safety-and-property-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6042066-98932ba7e5c698ab0286a1a6f7c5cf6d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771200289&Signature=hKpFJp~Aqal8SjnItrvMBayVxKiCepKnp5~1ZKmyCheXPrGefzQ8MzpddkIuxox3ZT6iRlGIupoAP6OlhYXo9COb78wuBSDsywC3bBTMxdj-aI~Rypzqi6DLd8c62TJ-tI5ZIB1X5GmHQw3RYLk2GBu3K4kjE4fS3Uh6eJCRhqGnkakUrUzvL2QlARIIbL3skc3BiVcxVsY7W2y4Pn8e2iUnU~rx9Mh6VJfMun2tIfuR5KmUK8S9rGlYel~JqCQaEViOm6ZSVl0wES8-XIL8xxr0Qvj2dJBbUjcHFCaf5ihuglvMoMHaW6f-Vhm12zeZGkJ19wILWxwvfC3EZUebvg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Scores of residents and community advocates addressed the City Council during the citizen-comment period, urging elected officials to oppose a special-use permit request tied to the Port of Corpus Christi for a large solar project on or near the McCampbell ranchlands.

Speakers including Luke Daley, Peyton Campbell of the Coastal Watch Association and Sarah Crumbley said the project threatens wetlands, wildlife habitat and neighborhood property values. Peyton Campbell presented a petition of 403 signers requesting the council deny the Port authority’s permit for a solar array she said would be built over herbaceous wetlands supporting Campbell Slough and Port Bay.

Public speakers cited an Army Corps of Engineers file number (SWG202100163) and said that the Corps had not approved the permit to discharge fill material; they also said Texas Parks and Wildlife had recommended against issuing the permit because of ecological impacts. Commenters warned that approval could set a precedent for future industrial development — specifically mentioning hydrogen and ammonia production — and argued those risks outweigh the limited local economic benefits they expect from the solar array.

Other speakers urged the city to require technical expertise and stronger public disclosure when industrial-scale energy projects are proposed. One resident said the Port and out-of-county interests had not been transparent about long-term plans for the adjoining 3,000 acres and called for clear public notice and press coverage explaining council votes on the matter.

Council members did not take a final vote on the special-use permit at the meeting. The council’s posted closed-session items included “consultation with attorney regarding Port of Corpus Christi pending special use permit,” indicating the council addressed the application in executive session; no public action or outcome was announced after the closed session.

(Ending) Residents left a signed petition and asked the council to put the permit request on a future agenda only with full regulatory documentation from state and federal agencies; council members asked staff to confirm permit status and federal correspondence before future action.","Multiple residents told the council they oppose a proposed Port of Corpus Christi solar project on McCampbell Ranch land, raising environmental, permitting and future industrialization concerns and delivering a 403-signature petition urging denial of the special use permit.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6042071,"Ingleside council amends, approves resolution backing Coastal Bend water effort and calls for port-representation fix",1773,2527000,4300000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3696649-4bf5c5fde21764457410de633067cca6&start=2527&end=4300","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3696649-4bf5c5fde21764457410de633067cca6/thumbnail_2527000.jpg","/articles/6042071/Ingleside/San-Patricio-County/Texas/Ingleside-council-amends-approves-resolution-backing-Coastal-Bend-water-effort-and-calls-for-port-representation-fix","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6042071-3ffc98e8909a650dc5b4a74ae670e5ef/orig.mp4?Expires=1771200289&Signature=FGU3j0OBanXUZkGFZUlX2BxJVHqbfMcA-gSKs8vUwWkQ2xJRIEHeXNUAQKxL60woo~rzrgollLAsYzGFMpTc68ek5U7fxEV-dAi157ayj6pkn1tXW1HdaQ153dYPoBBRMd19ot8hnI04Lofl2Xx8y-OnU2RzkIWp98HznrSa6TAmwOCXJsfH0GNyqNeFLX0bJt~~M8kwZPYM5-ofmip8ZIGM3Y0Oeh7SpIEzlQ0hxlieH5ZFWui~2I7x99sdUPW6wuw61u9dTYzoQ6b6M1P~OfMbWRif2ZwR9nuXjc3PJ1cRP-blm-Jli~gHbVoX3LoO~MJJKCEcjkUQTLxJ4lV92g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Ingleside City Council on March 25 approved an amended resolution supporting a unified Coastal Bend effort to secure water infrastructure and urged the Texas Legislature to expand Port of Corpus Christi commission representation in accordance with House Bill 21 20.

The vote followed more than an hour of discussion, public testimony, and a proposed amendment from Councilman Deal to replace language about how new port seats would be appointed with the text of House Bill 21 20. The council voted unanimously after the amendment; Mayor Adame and all seven council members present voted in favor.

Council members and visiting county officials said the issue mattered because San Patricio County seeks both a stronger seat at port decision-making and access to anticipated state water funding. County leaders told the council that, as written in an earlier draft of a regional resolution, the port-seat language would have left local appointee selection outside San Patricio County’s control; the amendment substitutes the HB 21 20 language that the county judge and commissioners prefer. The county judge told the council he would “hold [supporting legislators] to their word” that House Bill 21 20 would be advanced in the House.

Supporters emphasized the link between port representation and the county’s ability to influence infrastructure and water decisions. Opponents and several council members said they were alarmed the original text had been circulated quickly, without full local stakeholder input, and sought an explicit amendment before approving the city’s support.

The council’s action directs staff to transmit the amended resolution — recorded as Proposed Resolution 2025-07 — to county and legislative contacts and to continue coordinating with the county’s water coalition. Council members said they want further briefings as the legislative process progresses and indicated they expect the county and municipalities to press for targeted language and funding opportunities during the 2025 session.

County and municipal representatives attending the meeting urged the council to stay engaged in the coalition’s meetings and legislative outreach. Council members asked staff to return with a schedule of upcoming water-coalition meetings and any legislative developments affecting HB 21 20.

The approval was procedural and did not allocate specific local funding; council members asked staff to keep the body apprised of any requests for direct municipal commitments.

(Ending) The amended resolution was approved on voice/roll-call vote; council members said the next steps will be staff coordination with San Patricio County and tracking of HB 21 20 as it moves through the Legislature.","After hours of debate and a late amendment, the Ingleside City Council approved an amended resolution supporting a Coastal Bend water coalition and aligning local asks with House Bill 21 20 to expand Port of Corpus Christi commission seats for San Patricio County representation.","actionData","errors"]
