Commissioners table resolution to designate Jose Maria Longoria Sr. memorial site pending city approval
Summary
The court tabled a resolution to designate Jose Maria Longoria Sr. memorial (agenda item 7) after a motion by Commissioner Bennett and a second by Commissioner Garza; the item was tabled because the city of La Rulue had not yet voted to approve the same resolution, according to the transcript.
The Starr County Commissioners Court voted to table a resolution to designate a memorial in honor of Jose Maria Longoria Sr. The item was presented under agenda item 7 and tabled so the county could await action by the affected city.
Commissioner Bennett moved to table the resolution and Commissioner Garza seconded; the presiding officer announced the motion passed. Court discussion in the transcript indicates the county intends to wait until the city of “La Rulue” (as transcribed) has held its meeting and passed the corresponding resolution before the county advances the designation.
During the discussion one speaker explained, “La Rua needs to pass this first … since the … is all inside La Gruya’s city limits,” and another said the city had reached out and planned public meetings so residents could learn about the action before the county votes. The transcript records some inconsistent spellings of the city name in the discussion and does not include a scheduled date for the city meeting.
The transcript does not include the resolution text, an ordinance number, or a roll-call tally for the tabling motion.
