Trustees consider security vendor contract with Mike Garcia Merchant Security LLC; transcript records motion but amount and dates unclear
Summary
At the Aug. 19 special meeting a trustee moved to approve a contract with Mike Garcia Merchant Security LLC; the transcript includes the motion text but the contract term dates and the annual maximum amount are garbled in the record and not clearly specified.
During the El Paso Independent School District Board of Trustees’ Aug. 19, 2025 special meeting, a trustee moved that the board approve a vendor contract with Mike Garcia Merchant Security LLC.
The motion as recorded in the transcript states the contract term as “from August 2025 to August 19[—]” with annual renewals at the district’s option and an annual amount “not to exceed” a dollar figure that is garbled in the transcript. The motion text in the record is unclear on the end date and on the numeric cap.
The transcript excerpt includes the motion language but does not include a recorded vote in the provided excerpt. The public record here therefore shows only that a trustee moved to approve the contract; the outcome (approval, defeat or postponement) is not specified in the available excerpt.
Because key contract details (precise term end date, renewal mechanics as written in the final contract, and the maximum annual payment) are unclear or unreadable in the transcript, the article does not attempt to restate those figures. The district’s official contract file and the posted agenda packet should be consulted for the definitive contract text and vote record.
