Council approves consent agenda items including roofing contract, alley vacation and financial report
Summary
Council approved the consent agenda (with item 6D removed for separate consideration) to award a $511,707 construction contract (plus $60,000 contingency) for a multi‑facility roofing project, adopt an ordinance vacating an alley (Ordinance 2026‑5036), accept the FY2025 annual comprehensive financial report, and approve appointments and other routine items.
The City Council approved the consent agenda after removing item 6D for separate consideration. The motion (mover noted in the record) carried by voice vote. The consent agenda included: approval of minutes from the March 9, 2026 meeting; award of a construction contract for a multi‑facility roofing project to South Texas Build Con LLC in the amount of $511,707 with a $60,000 construction contingency (total authorization $571,707); adoption of Ordinance 2026‑5036 vacating and closing the alleyway between Lots 1–16 and 17–32 in Block 686 of the Town of La Porte subdivision; acceptance of the City of La Porte annual comprehensive financial report for fiscal year ending 09/30/2025; and appointments including Daryl Heron to Keep La Porte Beautiful and election judges for the May 2, 2026 election.
The council recorded on the minutes that a conflict of interest affidavit was filed by a council member (Engelcan) for item 6D and that member did not participate in discussion or vote on that item; the removed item was later addressed separately. The motion to approve the remaining consent items passed by voice vote. Council asked staff to ensure compliance with contract terms and to provide follow-up information as needed.
