Council approves additional funding for Gaslight Boulevard reconstruction; transcript shows unclear dollar amount
Summary
On second reading the council approved an amendment to the 2025–26 operating budget to appropriate additional funds for the Gaslight Boulevard reconstruction project; the recorded transcript contains an unclear figure for the appropriation.
The Lufkin City Council approved on second reading an ordinance amending the 2025–26 operating budget to provide additional funds for the Gaslight Boulevard reconstruction project.
A staff member identified the item as the second reading of an ordinance to appropriate additional funds for the Gaslight project and described recent work: "Got a little hot mix on the ground now that's a barrier concrete would be next in those areas." The transcript records a garbled dollar figure when describing the appropriation (the speaker said "appropriating 500, 50,000"), and the meeting record does not include a clear numeric appropriation amount.
A motion to approve the ordinance was made and seconded; the presiding official called for the vote and said the motion carries after a voice "aye." The item was described as a change-order funding authorization to continue existing reconstruction work.
Because the transcript does not clearly record the dollar amount, the appropriation amount should be verified in the city's ordinance or budget documents for an exact figure.
