Council endorses staff follow-up on community project funding and road for proposed four-year university building
Summary
Council discussed community project funding and infrastructure costs for a road tied to a proposed first stand-alone university building and approved a unanimous motion to 'proceed as instructed,' asking staff to put the city's position in writing for Mr. Levine and other parties.
The council held an executive-session discussion about community project funding and infrastructure costs related to a road for a proposed first stand-alone university building in Eagle Pass and the potential creation of a four-year university. The item was discussed under Texas Government Code chapter 551.071 with counsel present.
Councilman Garcia moved to "proceed as instructed" following the executive-session discussion; Councilwoman Cruz seconded and the motion passed unanimously. The Mayor asked staff to put the city's position in writing during the week so Mr. Levine and the other parties and a vice chancellor understand where the city stands; staff (Mark) said the office "will respond to a vice chancellor."
No funding totals, contract terms, or binding approvals were announced in open session. The record shows the council authorized staff to communicate the city's position to stakeholders and to proceed per the direction given in executive session.
