South Padre Island council authorizes release of bid documents for wind-and-water sports park
Summary
The South Padre Island council voted to authorize the shoreline director to finalize bid documents and issue an RFP for a proposed wind-and-water sports park after confirming a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and outlining mitigation steps; council members and participants pressed for clearer budget accounting and past spending totals.
