The Pharr City Commission on January 9 approved a series of routine and operational items, including land-use final reading, board appointments, financing steps and a parks improvement contract.
On the consent agenda, members approved several routine items by a single motion and voice vote; the record notes item 5(c) as the final reading of changes to the city’s multifamily district. Commissioners indicated the motion passed without further discussion.
Staff recommended appointment and reappointment of Romeo Cantu and Marisa Oliva to the Keep Our Beautiful board; the commission moved and approved those appointments by voice vote.
The commission also approved a resolution authorizing publication of notice of intent to issue Certificates of Obligation, described in the record as series "20 26," to fund design, acquisition, construction and improvement of public works and related matters. The record does not show an adopted ordinance number or a final issuance amount; publication authorization was passed.
Separately, the commission authorized the city manager to enter into an agreement with CS Construction and Development of Mission, Texas, for purchase and installation of artificial turf at the city athletic sports complex.

The commission announced it would convene to executive session under the Texas Government Code sections 551.071–551.087 to discuss agenda items; a city official stated no action would be taken in executive session. The meeting later adjourned after the business on the public agenda concluded.
