Bryan City Council approves township fire contracts, sewer work and WEDCO appointment
Summary
At its regular meeting the Bryan City Council approved multiple ordinances including a $49,500 Pulaski Township fire-protection contract and a $12,000 Jefferson Township contract, authorized a $7,009.85 change order on the Parkview project, approved a sanitary-sewer replacement under estimate, and appointed directors to the WEDCO board.
The Bryan City Council on the evening of the recorded meeting approved a series of routine ordinances and appointments, including contracts for township fire protection, a sanitary-sewer replacement project, a small contract change order on a street project and an appointment to the WEDCO board.
Speaker 3 read an ordinance to provide Pulaski Township with a $49,500 contract for calendar year 2026 to align fire-protection cost-sharing percentages with the other townships the city covers. Council members moved, suspended the rules where requested, and approved the contract by roll call.
Council also approved a roughly $12,000 contract for Jefferson Township for 2026; Speaker 3 described that the city covers about one-third of Jefferson Township’s area and presented the contract amount. The council moved and approved that ordinance.
On a street and utility project in Parkview, an unidentified presenter (Speaker 4) said crews encountered soft subgrade, and the gas company relocated and deepened a line that required extra curb and sidewalk work. Speaker 4 summarized the net change as “A net add of $7,009.85.” The council agreed to authorize the change order and close out the project under the city contract.
For sanitary sewers, Speaker 4 described continuing replacement work in town and said the awarded work came in under the council’s estimate; the transcript refers to an estimate “around 530 [thousand].” Council members moved to approve the budgeted line-item project and voted to proceed.
Item 10 on the agenda was an appointment of directors to the WEDCO board for the mayor’s term. The council moved, seconded and recorded affirmative votes; the appointment was entered as approved.
Procedural items at the start of the meeting included a motion to excuse councilmember Rick Hoopy for a family matter and approval of the Oct. 20 meeting minutes and the Treasurer’s Report. The meeting concluded after brief remarks about the Santa parade and a motion to adjourn.
The transcript records the motions, suspensions of rules, and affirmative roll-call confirmations that approved the items above, but it does not include a complete, line-by-line roll call for every action in the transcript excerpt provided. Where specific dollar amounts or ordinance numbers are given in the transcript, they are noted here.
