Lake Jackson council appoints BWA representative, approves police remodel contract, names Gulf Coast Transit delegates
Summary
At its June 16 meeting the Lake Jackson City Council appointed Tom Norman to the Brazosport Water Authority, authorized a police-department remodel contract not to exceed $115,000 and approved a resolution naming a representative, alternate and proxy to the Gulf Coast Transit District. All three items passed with unanimous voice votes.
The Lake Jackson City Council voted on three formal items during its June 16 regular session: appointing a representative to the Brazosport Water Authority (BWA), authorizing a contract to remodel a portion of the police department and approving a resolution that designates delegates to the Gulf Coast Transit District.
Council appointed Tom Norman as the city’s representative to the Brazosport Water Authority to serve the remainder of the term vacated by Mr. Cook. Councilwoman Seth made the motion to appoint Norman; Councilman Schueller seconded. The council approved the appointment by voice vote with no opposition.
The council authorized the city manager to execute a contract with SDB CON Contracting Services for remodeling roughly 800 square feet of older police department space, not to exceed $115,000, under contract number 72824. The item, discussed at the prior meeting, covers three rooms in an older section of the department to create leasable government office space and additional usable space for the city. Councilman Schueller moved approval; Councilwoman Seth seconded. The motion passed by voice vote.
Council also approved Resolution No. 989 to designate a representative, an alternate and a proxy to the Gulf Coast Transit District. Council agreed to keep the current primary appointee as the city’s representative and named Councilwoman Seth as the elected alternate with the mayor to serve as proxy when needed. The motion carried on a voice vote.
No roll-call tallies were recorded in the minutes; the meeting transcript records unanimous "aye" responses for each vote. The city manager said staff will notify BWA and the Gulf Coast Transit District of the new appointments and will proceed with contract execution under the specified terms.
