Summary
At its Feb. 3 meeting the council approved final readings for several ordinances and heard first readings authorizing purchases (Dell support), multiple vehicle buys, and a $2.74 million paving and drainage CIP appropriation; several procurement items were listed for first reading.
Pasadena — The Pasadena City Council voted during its Feb. 3 meeting to adopt several ordinances on final reading and reviewed a slate of first-reading measures authorizing equipment purchases, vehicle acquisitions and a capital improvement project.
On final reading, the council approved a package of ordinances (listed by the city secretary) that were moved by Councilmember Styron and seconded by Councilmember Peredia; the council voice-voted the package and the presiding officer announced the motion carried.
On first reading the council heard a group of procurement and capital project ordinances, including: authorization to purchase Dell Hybrid Workload support and implementation under DIR contract DIRCPO5792 for $250,000; purchases of municipal vehicles (13 vehicles for $872,145.18 from one vendor and 32 vehicles for $1,577,389.84 from another, with a later related line item for 32 vehicles listed at $1,638,726.70); CIP paving and drainage improvements (CIP #D065S145) with a total appropriation of $2,741,110 to D and W Contractors; and various equipment leases and aftermarket parts contracts. The secretary also read first-reading ordinances that would update certification pay for sworn officers (increases to $200, $300 and $400 per month for intermediate/advanced/master proficiency levels) effective March 2, 2026.
Council members did not take final votes on the first-reading items at Feb. 3 beyond procedural motions to place them on the agenda; one procurement item (items e, f and g) was deferred. Council also recorded an abstention from one member on payments to a vendor identified in the transcript as 'LJ.'
The list of reading items included references to state cooperative contracts (TIPS), the Texas Department of Information Resources contract and TxDOT local on-system improvement agreements for a Jackson Street Bridge and Vince Bayou Greenway trail phase. The council approved the final-reading package and moved the first-reading items forward according to the standard ordinance process; exact contract details and formal award confirmations were not included verbatim in the transcript beyond the amounts and vendor names read aloud by the secretary.
Next steps will include staff execution of awarded contracts per procurement rules and required administrative approvals; council did not schedule additional hearings for most first-reading items within the meeting record.
