Christina Womack, speaking on behalf of the Pasadena Chamber, congratulated newly elected council members and invited residents and business leaders to a mayoral welcome reception on July 1 at 6 p.m. at the Convention Center. She also promoted a Small Business Resource Fair on June 25 from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m., noting that the chamber has added representatives from the Houston Sports Authority and the Buy Houston partners to help local businesses compete for World Cup–related contracts. Womack asked council members to share event information with constituents.

Marlene Staley discussed the Strawberry Festival held a month earlier, praising the turnout and reporting that the festival supports $50,000 in scholarships for local students. Staley introduced several titleholders and youth representatives who participate in festival outreach; the transcript lists names including Kaylee Wilkins Curling (Miss Pasadena Strawberry Festival ambassador), Callie Mason (Teen Ambassador), McKenna Smith (Miss Strawberry Festival), Alyssa Wadsworth (Team Miss Strawberry Festival), Layla Macias (Junior Miss Duchess), Keola Garcia (2025 Junior Miss Strawberry Festival Queen), Sofia Del Furo (2025 junior miss princess) and Liliana Trevino (Pasadena bridal of 2025).

The comments combined event promotion for small businesses with a community update on festival fundraising and youth involvement.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Pasadena Council Meeting 6/17/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Pasadena Chamber invited businesses to a July 1 mayoral welcome and a June 25 Small Business Resource Fair; Strawberry Festival organizers told council the event raised $50,000 in scholarships and drew attendees from out of state.","taxTitle","Pasadena, Harris County, Texas","taxId",2798,"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},6191400,"Residents use public comment to allege police and city misconduct; council hears calls for records and decorum",355,885000,1240000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=4740484-d306b1f655a1068da1e1d20a673f84d9&start=885&end=1240","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/4740484-d306b1f655a1068da1e1d20a673f84d9/thumbnail_885000.jpg","/articles/6191400/Pasadena/Harris-County/Texas/Residents-use-public-comment-to-allege-police-and-city-misconduct-council-hears-calls-for-records-and-decorum","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6191400-c5dcf639f07011323a4d41e6e777a607/orig.mp4?Expires=1771206078&Signature=D5qFQ2p1AF4HwZj1LwhJg4ZXihr7g5~sbXzcFLhmGgjvZ22LvTC-zMkHYWV0rO3Ly0uovt0m9PPLpIlJe0X4k4VXcdqo6urZZhdrJiu3m1zQIyFEjq0JIdSeVntsUywamK15y76zLBCLwXkN1jx36W1g8wU1OygwaxbhX~Czmy~uHTQdnJEkQl4r2POBUSo3EakhtzDHiaMHCZtrYC7mJP0wORT1hnxogAVvs0xwx~3UPaUVXYPTAnaUxbquVBr-Vs4SVea70n1imQi~aTAVIeZsQgwQl9fU90i89ycrswUfhsnxGct4lfgWLA2eA4na9qV3U-fPzZrLiaO7oFqJSQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Several residents used the June 17 public-comment period to air allegations of misconduct by city officials and members of the Pasadena Police Department and to call for remedies.

Steven Alvarez accused members of the prior administration and others of what he called corruption and harassment. Addressing the council, Alvarez said, “little Jeffrey Wagner, did not show up tonight as the coward that he is,” and named local figures while urging removal of what he described as “hatred” from the city. Alvarez’s remarks included forceful personal claims and criticism of named current and former officials.

Eric Sanchez described a separate, detailed account of a 2017 traffic stop and subsequent records he says contain inaccuracies. Sanchez said, “Almost every record I've received has been amended, incomplete, or full of lies,” and accused officers he named in his remarks of falsifying or recycling affidavits, failing to activate cameras and irregularities in the handling of blood-draw paperwork. Sanchez asked the council to address the record-keeping and alleged misconduct and requested release of certain records to test his claims.

Ralph Morrissey, who also spoke during public comment, urged citizens to use the forum for facts and solutions and cautioned against name-calling. Morrissey said the public-comment platform “is not a platform for debate” and asked speakers to avoid “mud-slinging” and baseless accusations.

These statements were delivered during the public-comment portion of the meeting. Council members did not respond on the record during the public-comment time in the transcript excerpt; the remarks were presented to the council for consideration and potential follow-up under the city’s normal processes for handling public complaints and records requests.","During the public-comment period residents accused city officials and police of harassment, falsified records and other misconduct; speakers asked the council to address records problems and civic decorum.",{"_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},6191403,"Council approves donations, sets budget hearing and certifies runoff election",151,1641000,1792000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=4740484-d306b1f655a1068da1e1d20a673f84d9&start=1641&end=1792","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/4740484-d306b1f655a1068da1e1d20a673f84d9/thumbnail_1641000.jpg","/articles/6191403/Pasadena/Harris-County/Texas/Council-approves-donations-sets-budget-hearing-and-certifies-runoff-election","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6191403-54ff5bedae9c3228b74026c832bfc7f2/orig.mp4?Expires=1771206078&Signature=aNPlp2iFx6n5u-Ld36PCT2orp16a067TegjmcJUNwV6UGSBTUHIGNTqLjXmt-J2blBG13w8HWBQIyBnq96FpIw7hYb6kRvTukXk-23dLfZ7ugu53e312ViZcD7CtwaCflx6rywaRGsWjEn5YUhZhdLBjZ8QTt82UgpILSk0aomCo8am1bdzOBlLJvGecF~ZqEZ8vNVFFUgAiu2xHCAjDvl48OwqroOyZFEGA8TMBPp4Zm7pNM3MKjcHyhO6fgUCXDRk8zTtUSYKA0TDN6KVHgixtR-CBKXt5vxXvLMoWw2tMLsvmhyxDPI4f8-n6FZduvKHTnPBMACXo2GtdKGQTPA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At its June 17 meeting the Pasadena City Council adopted a bundle of resolutions accepting donations, authorizing grant applications, approving a memorial bench placement and certifying the canvass of the June 7 runoff election.

Resolutions listed on the agenda included acceptance of in-kind prizes for a senior-center bingo event valued at $130 from McInnis Fox Health Insurance Brokers; a $1,000 donation from Hancock Pool Services for the city’s Fourth of July event; and a $20,000 donation from Chevron Products Company for the Neighborhood Network division, shown in the agenda as $10,000 for TeamUp to Clean Up 2025 and $10,000 for the Pasadena Food Drive. The council also authorized the Neighborhood Network division to apply for a Shell Deer Park community grant in support of the TeamUp to Clean Up program, and approved placement of a bench in Sherwood Park in honor of volunteer Charles Culpepper.

The council approved a resolution adopting the investment policy for the city’s other post-employment benefits (OPEB) trust and set a public hearing for July 15 for the proposed crime control and prevention district budget for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1, 2025. The council also approved Resolution 2025-112, certifying the canvass and returns of the June 7 runoff election to elect the mayor and council members for districts A, B and G; the meeting record notes the resolution was read in Spanish during the session.

Council took these items as part of the consent/resolutions portion of the agenda; motions and seconds were recorded and the measures passed by the council. The meeting minutes do not show separate roll-call tallies for each resolution in the transcript excerpt.","The council adopted multiple resolutions accepting donations for city events and programs, authorized a Shell Deer Park grant application, placed a memorial bench, approved an investment policy for OPEB trust, set a public hearing for the crime-control district budget, and certified the June 7 runoff canvass.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":92,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6191408,"Council authorizes acceptance of $55,000 ExxonMobil grant and $24,968 parks grant",229,1563000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=4740484-d306b1f655a1068da1e1d20a673f84d9&start=1563&end=1792","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/4740484-d306b1f655a1068da1e1d20a673f84d9/thumbnail_1563000.jpg","/articles/6191408/Pasadena/Harris-County/Texas/Council-authorizes-acceptance-of-55000-ExxonMobil-grant-and-24968-parks-grant","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6191408-eb2712a4fdf383287f0799e5bf921daa/orig.mp4?Expires=1771206078&Signature=AUKMTluhIkeyrt8ZgHbfuodTBlCEH-82l30~5LA--7vc4MUv1fA12fSufCjv2SpFKkHYZbF-lgaZNQb-CfgblOepotT-m1d4nNYajRoFaip-l7UHW6n8pnMo7ojZbXWgwPHFthtcXq-lC6JBTdBX4ClW2qDovAL50z7oBb-cbhcEME0eWZdNPhD5LqWynfiLvEpFCIzaV-SbxIXkzdVhN4KSoyYtXYw5V8p9O84mooriSCdgmDvGqLdetttOQP6nKtBoko5fesjtrIaMWR86L9XZwPyayzUoG6JgVeNm6vXqOqh0MTVNH5D6VQBDs3Ti8oZ5sFTP7qx9VvPywZOx0w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Pasadena City Council on June 17 authorized the mayor or the mayor’s designee to accept an ExxonMobil Community Grant of $55,000 for the Neighborhood Network division and a Texas Parks and Wildlife Department local parks grant of $24,968 for the Parks and Recreation Department.

The grants were included in the set of first-reading ordinances read by the City Secretary and approved in a single voice vote. The motion to approve the first-reading ordinances was made by Councilman Dowell and seconded by Councilman Guerrero; the clerk recorded the vote as passed after members responded “Aye.”

The agenda listed the ExxonMobil award under Ordinance 2025-125 and the parks grant under Ordinance 2025-126. The City Secretary noted the parks department had previously been authorized to apply for the TPWD grant by Resolution 2024-196; the ordinance also authorized the mayor or designee to execute grant agreements on the city’s behalf.

Council did not discuss how the grant funds would be allocated in detail during the reading. The ordinances grant acceptance authority and the city’s usual signature authority for grant agreements; any project-level plans, budgets or timelines were not part of the first-reading text presented at the meeting.","Council approved ordinances authorizing acceptance of a $55,000 ExxonMobil Community Grant for Neighborhood Network and a $24,968 Texas Parks and Wildlife local parks grant for Parks and Recreation.",{"_33":111,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":112,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":92,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":113,"_53":114,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":115,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":116,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6191413,"Pasadena council approves franchise for Bluebonnet Pipeline LLC","/articles/6191413/Pasadena/Harris-County/Texas/Pasadena-council-approves-franchise-for-Bluebonnet-Pipeline-LLC","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6191413-6cbd52f2c503495eb3f00bfec44fcc8c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771206078&Signature=amCcf6ehocIB4xMaG5niQEQtokc6ttbjdHlTze-q7XjkSj3bl4heJr7dsJ2FOhYuPOu6pmtANHK7MXKSQgnV30vNC~8H1pbRm8cAEy4vsv-3ygSR1-jZRfNhs7pVSr4LiQPNlb4Kk9Oi77TVoW2LLKPCx0dNxLQ7h0V7BgVir8CE7Te2cTs7pugfJkRtWm2~3sR0Va6DW6P7i9bB9-lwnGIbvdi0G1F9ylihg53EBcnnAVgGgySVhjvsAYbyy4U3NlEAVxA64z2DHXJWvhl0u3F52MI3VCS8JlNHXa1zTp-bqpgAujBL8O49Afm1LKUjB5Kq~HJYZ2YTanAiGUasFA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Pasadena City Council on June 17 approved a first-reading ordinance granting Bluebonnet Pipeline LLC a nonexclusive franchise to lay, operate and maintain a 6‑inch pipeline within the city limits.

City Secretary read the ordinance text and council members voted to approve the measure in a single voice vote. Councilman Dowell moved approval and Councilman Guerrero seconded; the motion passed on the record with council members saying “Aye.”

The ordinance (listed in the meeting as Ordinance 2025-124) describes a right, privilege and permit to “lay, replace, construct, repair, maintain, operate, and remove a 6 inch pipeline within the city of Pasadena,” and references plans and specifications filed with the Department of Public Works and the Department of Planning. The ordinance prescribes terms and conditions under which the franchise is granted and provides for acceptance.

The action was taken during the council’s first-reading segment of the agenda and was bundled with two other first-reading items. No public hearing or separate roll-call tally was recorded in the meeting minutes; the clerk recorded the outcome as passed after a voice vote.

The ordinance text and the city’s filing requirements indicate the franchise will be governed by plans on file with Public Works and Planning. Council did not discuss specific work schedules, routing details beyond the language in the ordinance, or permit conditions during the reading.

The council’s approval at first reading allows the city to proceed with the administrative steps that follow a franchise reading; the ordinance reading itself did not include a separate implementation timetable or effective date beyond the usual acceptance language in the text.","On June 17 the Pasadena City Council approved a first-reading ordinance granting Bluebonnet Pipeline LLC a nonexclusive franchise to install and operate a 6‑inch pipeline in the city; the motion passed by voice vote.","actionData","errors"]
