Standards of care for youth recreation programs
The council held a brief public‑hearing component for an ordinance to re‑adopt standards of care for League City youth recreation programs, including updates to staffing ratios, health standards and staff qualifications. The hearing opened and closed immediately at 6:25 p.m. with no public speakers. After council discussion and confirmation from legal staff that linked consent‑agenda language would not create an inconsistency if the pulled consent item failed, a motion to approve the ordinance passed as recorded in the meeting transcript (\"Motion passes 8 4 none against\"). The transcript does not provide the ordinance number or an exact breakdown of which councilmembers voted for or against; no additional public testimony was recorded on the item.

Disannexation and boundary adjustment (first reading)
Councilmembers considered a first reading of an ordinance to disannex approximately 1.3347 acres currently within the corporate limits of League City and to authorize related boundary adjustments with the city of Friendswood. A motion to approve first reading was made and seconded; the transcript records multiple vote phrases during the roll call (for example, \"Motion passes 8 4 0 against\" and later \"Motion passes 7 4 1 against\"). The item was advanced on first reading as recorded in the meeting minutes; the ordinance number and final recorded roll‑call names are not specified in the transcript excerpts.

Acquisition of property for Pat Halsey Bay Colony Park (CIP PK2001)
In a closed‑session discussion of real‑property matters, council members considered the planned acquisition of Parcel 11.68864 acres (approximately 73,557 square feet) from Transco Management Group LLC to support the Pat Halsey Bay Colony Park project (CIP number PK2001). In open session a member moved to authorize staff to proceed with the acquisition as discussed; the motion was seconded and approved. The meeting transcript records the outcome as \"Motion is approved. 8 0.\" The purchase authorization follows the executive‑session discussion and instructs staff to proceed with the acquisition process for the identified parcel.

Other executive‑session items
The council completed executive session items on the employment/appointment/evaluation of a public officer related to the city auditor and on consultation with the city attorney concerning the Galveston County Consolidated Drainage District. The transcript states there was no final action, decision, or vote taken on those matters during executive session.

What the votes mean
- The youth recreation ordinance was adopted by the council as recorded in the meeting transcript; the hearing component had no public speakers.
- The disannexation ordinance was advanced on first reading; transcript vote phrases are inconsistent in the excerpt and the final roll‑call names were not recorded in the provided text.
- The council authorized staff to proceed with acquisition of roughly 11.69 acres for the Pat Halsey Bay Colony Park project; the transcript records the motion as approved 8‑0.

Supporters described the bazaar as a family-oriented, four‑hour monthly market that draws local shoppers and provides affordable booth fees for small vendors. Several speakers asked the council to meet with the event organizer and to allow the market to continue at League Park.

The requests came during the meeting’s public‑comment period. Amber Carlson, who identified herself as the founder of Sunset Bazaar, said she was “completely blindsided and violated and betrayed” after the city declined to renew her rental of League Park and an associated ballpark despite prior city staff visits and apparent earlier praise. Carlson said staff had at one point told her 50 vendors would be acceptable, then later indicated it would reserve additional dates for other events and ultimately denied her reservation without advance notice.

Several vendors and residents described the event’s community benefits. Heather Yanez, a League City realtor and homeowner, said her son, a vendor who makes 3‑D printed toys called Dragon Boy, has relied on the market to save for college. “It is such an incredible experience for our city to enjoy monthly,” Yanez said. Eze Yanes, the vendor she mentioned, told the council that the park location — with playgrounds, historic oak trees and nearby restaurants — is essential to attracting families and that suggested alternate sites lack comparable amenities.

Vendors stressed the bazaar’s low booth fee and the event’s informal community character. Market vendor Jimmy Westheimer said the Sunset Bazaar is “the perfect size” for League Park and that its low booth fee (he said Amber charges $65) makes participating financially feasible for sellers of lower‑price items. Eric Cross, who identified himself as Carlson’s husband, and vendor Larry Kendall said the market fosters community and family atmosphere and urged the council not to limit or relocate the event.

Council members acknowledged receiving both pro‑ and anti‑bazaar emails and comments. Mayor Pro Tem (name not specified in transcript) said he had spoken with the mayor, the city manager and the event organizer to gather facts and asked the mayor and city manager (Baumgartner) to meet with Amber Carlson to try to find a solution. Another councilmember suggested placing the matter on the agenda for a public discussion in two weeks if the parties could not reach agreement beforehand. No formal vote or permit reversal occurred at the meeting.

Speakers raising concerns included claims that a councilmember, Chad Tressler, had posted criticisms on social media and that at least one nearby business declined to move blocked cars when asked. Vendors said they maintain the park after events and that the Sunset Bazaar has drawn families and local musicians. Council members identified recurring complaints — music start times and parking — as issues they had heard and said they would pursue factual confirmation before taking formal action.

The council did not take formal action at the meeting. Instead members directed the mayor and city manager to meet with the event organizer to explore options and indicated the council could add the item to a future agenda for open discussion if those talks do not resolve concerns.

The public comments and the council’s direction leave the permit status unresolved pending staff and leadership follow‑up and any future agenda action.
