Jourdanton council approves budget transfer, Little League license and schedules workshops
Summary
At its Feb. 2 meeting the Jourdanton City Council approved a $257,152.93 budget transfer to the Bond Payment Fund, authorized a license agreement with Jourdanton Little League for 2026 fields, changed the Feb. 16 meeting date and set three goal‑setting workshops; several votes were unanimous, two passed with one dissent each.
The Jourdanton City Council on Feb. 2, 2026 approved a series of routine but binding administrative actions, including a budget amendment to move $257,152.93 into the city's Bond Payment Fund and a license agreement allowing Jourdanton Little League to use municipal baseball and softball fields for the 2026 season.
Budget action: Councilmember Pamela Manning moved, and Mayor Pro Tem Chester Gonzales seconded, to amend the budget and transfer $257,152.93 from the General Reserve Fund Account to the Bond Payment Fund Account. The motion passed unanimously. The ordinance authorizes the transfer; no additional details about the specific bond payment(s) funded were provided in the meeting record.
Little League license: Councilmember Manning also moved to approve a license agreement permitting Jourdanton Little League access to city fields for the 2026 season. Councilmember Karen Pesek seconded the motion and the council approved it unanimously.
Meeting schedule and workshops: The council voted to change the regular meeting date scheduled for Monday, Feb. 16, 2026 to Tuesday, Feb. 17, 2026 due to Presidents Day; that motion passed with one recorded negative vote by Councilmember Pamela Manning. Separately, the council approved holding three one‑hour goal‑setting workshops, with the first scheduled for Feb. 23, 2026; that motion passed unanimously.
What this means: The budget transfer increases funds set aside for debt service or bond payments; the city will proceed with seasonal recreational access for the Little League under the approved license terms. The staff will return to the council with negotiated engineering contracts and other follow-ups where required.
Procedural notes: Several items were approved by motion and unanimous vote; where the meeting record shows a single negative vote, that is noted in the council's minutes.
