The McAllen City Commission approved its consent agenda, which bundled procurement items, interagency contract amendments and grant applications.
Staff identified cooperative-priced purchases that include refuse vehicles, front-wheel loaders and a lube truck. Consent resolutions included an amendment to the AFA agreement with TxDOT to expand the Nolana Avenue Whitting project to incorporate a 10-foot shared pedestrian/bicycle pathway funded with approximately $637,000 of FHWA/TxDOT funds and a local match described in the transcript as "roughly less than $40,000." Another consent resolution authorized a grant application to the firefighters charitable foundation to acquire fire apparatus with no local match.
The commission approved the consent agenda by voice vote. Detailed contract terms, procurement schedules and final grant award decisions were not recorded in the public transcript.
