Freeport council directs city manager to solicit probes into City Hall remediation
Summary
The City of Freeport voted 4–0 to direct the city manager to request proposals from auditors and law firms to investigate City Hall remediation work involving Covarrubias Remodeling Services LLC. The motion was made after the meeting returned from executive session.
The Presiding Official announced the council was back in regular session and moved to direct the city manager to seek proposals to investigate City Hall remediation work involving Covarrubias Remodeling Services LLC, to be reviewed by the city’s auditors and outside law firms. "I will make the first one, a motion to direct the city manager to request proposals for investigation of the city hall remediation with Covarrubias Remodeling Services LLC from the city's auditors and law firms," the Presiding Official said.
The motion drew a second and passed unanimously, 4–0. Council members did not elaborate on the scope of the requested investigations during the public portion of the record, and no additional details about timelines or costs were provided on the floor.
The motion was made immediately after the council returned from executive session, and the council did not place further conditions on the request in the public record. The council’s action directs city staff to solicit proposals; any contract awards, committee reviews, or further public disclosures would follow the city’s usual procurement and legal review processes.
