Pharr commission reappoints board members and approves rescue-tool purchase; golf-course appointment tabled
Summary
The Pharr City Commission unanimously approved reappointments to several advisory boards and authorized a cooperative purchase of hydraulic rescue tools; an appointment to the golf course advisory board was tabled.
At a regularly scheduled meeting, the Pharr City Commission voted unanimously to reappoint members to several city boards and to approve the purchase of hydraulic rescue tools under a Buy Board cooperative contract.
Mayor Ambrosio Hernandez called for the consent agenda and the commission approved it with the exception of item 5b, which was removed. Commissioners then voted to table item 6a — a resolution to appoint or reappoint one member to the golf course advisory board — following a motion to table. The commission recorded the motion as passed.
The commission approved a resolution to reappoint Marisa Oliva and Romeo Cantu to the Keep Our Beautiful board. It also approved reappointments to the Pharr Economic Development Corporation board, reappointing Michael Pacheco, Ray Perez and Mario Liscano, and adding Romeo Cantu.
On a separate action, the commission approved the purchase of hydraulic rescue tools from Martin's Emergency Group using Buy Board cooperative purchasing, citing contract number 698-23. The purchase amount listed in the meeting packet was presented as “172,074840,” which was not clarified on the record and appears to be an unclear figure in the packet.
All recorded votes on the consent agenda items, reappointments and the equipment purchase were announced as approved by voice vote with “Aye” and reported as passed. The commission adjourned at 4:27 p.m.
