Texas City commission approves consent items and appoints Andre Isbell to civil service commission
Summary
Commissioners approved most consent-agenda items after pulling two for separate consideration, and unanimously approved Mayor Garza's nomination of Andre Isbell (Galveston College criminal-justice faculty) to the Civil Service Commission under resolution 2026-091.
The commission handled the consent agenda, pulling item C for further due diligence and also pulling item H so it could be addressed separately. After discussion, commissioners voted to approve items a, b, d, e, f and g by voice vote. Commissioner Knoxon confirmed he was comfortable with staff following up on the pulled item C.
Mayor Abel Garza nominated Andre Isbell, described as a criminal justice faculty member at Galveston College, to fill a vacancy on the Civil Service Commission; the nomination was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote under resolution number 2026-091. An alternate applicant, Gregory Mitchell, will have his application kept on file.
