League City council approves Friendswood boundary agreement, amends sunset review committee and appoints animal advisory representative
Summary
League City Council on Feb. 11 approved an agreement with Friendswood on boundary changes, amended rules for the Sunset Review Committee and appointed a member to the Animal Advisory Committee.
League City Council on Feb. 11 approved several administrative and procedural measures, including an agreement with the city of Friendswood to address boundary changes, a first-reading ordinance to adjust the membership and voting rules of the Sunset Review Committee, and an appointment to the Animal Advisory Committee.
The council first tabled a resolution concerning an agreement with Friendswood until after a brief executive session and then approved the agreement on return to open session. City staff and the mayor said the resolution is contingent on the Friendswood City Council also approving the same agreement. The council recorded no votes against that action.
During first reading of an ordinance concerning the Sunset Review Committee, a council member proposed an amendment to make the city attorney a nonvoting member so that the citizen-to-staff composition would be four-to-four rather than five staff to four citizens. The council adopted the amendment and passed the ordinance on a first and final vote noted in the meeting record; the meeting record shows no votes against the action.
The council also appointed Beth Welder as the animal organization representative to the Animal Advisory Committee. The appointment was moved, seconded and approved with no votes against.
Chief Fatena of the League City Police Department told the council the department had submitted its annual racial-profiling report to the state and that the presentation at the meeting satisfied the state reporting requirement that the governing body receive the report by March 1. Chief Fatena stated the department was in compliance; no substantive questions about the report were recorded in the meeting minutes.
The council approved the consent agenda (items 6A through 6N) by a single motion. The meeting recessed for an executive session conducted under the Texas Open Meetings Act, subchapter D of the Government Code (section 551); the mayor said no final action, decision or vote resulted from the executive session.
All recorded motions on these items were approved with no votes against according to the meeting record.
