Mission CISD trustees authorize one-year electricity contract through TPEA
Summary
The Mission CISD Board of Trustees on April 29 authorized Superintendent Dr. Cris King to enter a one-year electricity contract through the Texas Public Energy Alliance (TPEA) using a cooperative purchasing model. The motion passed 6–0 with one member absent.
The Mission Consolidated Independent School District Board of Trustees on April 29 voted to authorize Superintendent Dr. Cris King to enter into a one-year electricity contract through the Texas Public Energy Alliance (TPEA). Trustee Iris Iglesias moved to approve the administration’s recommendation; Trustee Natividad Sosa seconded the motion.
"Iris Iglesias moved to approve the Administration's recommendation to adopt the Resolution authorizing the Superintendent and/or her designee to enter into a one-year electricity contract through the Texas Public Energy Alliance (TPEA)," the minutes record. The board recorded a roll-call style tally: Iris Iglesias, Veronica "Betty" R. Mendoza, Petra Ramirez, Dolores Reyna, Natividad Sosa and Jerry Zamora voted "Yea." Danny Martinez was absent, and the clerk recorded the final tally as Yea: 6, Nay: 0, Absent: 1.
The board’s action authorizes the superintendent or her designee to secure energy pricing via a cooperative purchasing model; the minutes do not specify contract price or vendor terms beyond the one-year length and the use of TPEA. The motion carries the legal effect of permitting district staff to execute the contract under the approved authority, subject to any internal procurement or budgeting procedures.
The board took no further amendments or conditions on the authorization during the meeting. The district did not include funding details or projected savings in the minutes; those specifics were "not specified" in the public record for this meeting.
