Richmond commission approves consent items including clean ACFR, replat and H‑GAC appointment
Summary
On unanimous votes the commission approved the consent agenda, accepted the 2025 Racial Profiling Report and the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report (clean audit), approved a Circle Oak replat, amended and approved an H‑GAC appointment, and approved an absence explanation and future agenda requests.
The Richmond City Commission approved a package of consent and routine items on Feb. 16, 2026, including acceptance of audit and reporting documents and several administrative actions.
Key actions (all passed unanimously unless noted):
- Consent agenda: Motion to approve the consent agenda carried. - Racial profiling report: The commission accepted the Richmond Police Department's 2025 Full Racial Profiling Report, which staff said complied with the Texas Racial Profiling Law and reported no complaints. - Annual Comprehensive Financial Report: Auditor Lupe Garcia presented the ACFR for the year ended Sept. 30, 2025; auditors issued an unmodified (clean) opinion and reported no federal single‑audit findings, including for ARPA funds; the commission accepted the report. - Replat — Circle Oak Section 4: The commission approved a replat of 26.269 acres (Circle Oak Section 4) subject to standard staff recommendations. - H‑GAC appointment: The commission initially nominated Mayor Rebecca K. Haas as primary and Economic Director Lacie Chambers as alternate, then reopened the item after staff noted H‑GAC bylaws require a governing‑body member as alternate; the commission amended the appointment to Mayor Haas as primary and Commissioner Alex BeMent as alternate and approved the appointment. - Other motions: The commission approved Commissioner Drozd's explanation of absence and directed staff to place future agenda items on Myrtle Street/annex property sale timeline and the process for removing or deferring previously approved projects or budgeted FTEs.
No items in this package required additional public hearings; all approvals were by motion and recorded as unanimous.
