Votes at a glance: annexations, kayak-launch contract postponed, franchise ordinance tabled and other council actions
Summary
At its May 27 meeting League City council approved two annexations, postponed a kayak-launch construction contract to consider design changes, ratified a merchant-services amendment, and tabled a gas franchise ordinance to the next meeting; other routine items passed as noted.
The League City Council took a series of votes on May 27, 2025. Key outcomes are summarized below; the council made multiple procedural motions and votes on the consent agenda and individual ordinances.
- Annexations approved: Council approved an ordinance annexing approximately 80.455 acres of land owned by Matron LLC, JAC Interest Ltd., and Ellen Lloyd Cummins into the city limits (agenda item 7b). The clerk announced the motion passed on the vote read as "7–4, 1 against" on the dais. Council also approved annexing approximately 130.9043 acres owned by BCSB Baybrook JV LLC (agenda item 7d); the clerk announced a similar majority vote.
- North Kansas Avenue kayak-launch construction contract postponed: On consent the council considered a resolution authorizing a construction contract with Jordan End Enterprises LP for the North Kansas Avenue kayak launch project (PK1910A). After discussion the council voted to postpone the item and instruct staff to return with options including a floating dock instead of a fixed dock and a phased parking approach; the clerk announced the motion to postpone passed. The packet text for the project listed a materials-testing contract with Terracon Consultants and cited a "total construction budget of 1,228,103 and 52¢" in the staff description; staff and council asked for more options and cost clarification.
- Universal Natural Gas limited franchise ordinance (third reading) tabled to next meeting: Council postponed further action on the third and final reading of an ordinance expanding the limited franchise to Universal Natural Gas Inc. after members asked for written confirmation that a temporary gas trailer would be removed from a subdivision. Council asked staff to obtain written commitment and return the item at the next meeting.
- No-wake zone resolution approved: Council approved a resolution supporting a no-wake zone in and around League City’s Clear Lake area for the Texas Outlaw Challenge on Friday, June 20, 2025.
- Appointment and administrative approvals: Christopher Little was appointed to the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee (position 3). Council ratified an amendment to the agreement with OpenEdge (merchant credit card services) and approved continued payment for those services subject to annual appropriation. Council also approved amendments to the FY2025 operating and capital budgets as part of ordinance readings on the docket.
Where the clerk read a formal tally, the article reproduces the announced counts; where the motion language or dollar figures were presented in the staff packet but were unclear in the transcript, those packet figures are reported as presented rather than corrected.
