The City of Lake Jackson City Council on March 11 approved its consent agenda, authorized an interlocal agreement with Brazosport Independent School District for use of PEG (public, educational and governmental) funds, approved a resolution to allocate $21,336.55 for BISD equipment, and agreed to donate three decommissioned police department vehicles to the Brazosport College Police Department.
The council took the consent agenda — items 1 through 8, including approval of March 3, 2025 minutes and several procurement and contract items — in a single motion. Councilman Zahnayuk moved to approve the consent agenda; Councilman Buol seconded. The mayor called for the ayes and the motion passed.
Council approved an interlocal agreement with Brazosport Independent School District to formalize use of the city's PEG channel and related timelines. Laura Marie, who presented the item, said the update was primarily housekeeping to clarify timelines and accountability in the existing agreement. Councilwoman Seth moved approval; a second was recorded and the motion passed.
The council also approved Resolution No. 980, amending the PEG fund to provide BISD with $21,336.55 for four cameras and related equipment. City staff said funds were available in the PEG fund balance; the request went to council because the money was not part of the adopted budget for the school district this year. Councilman Baker moved approval and Councilman Buell seconded; the motion carried.
Separately, council approved donating three decommissioned police vehicles (unit numbers recorded by staff as 1228, 1229 and 1238 in staff remark; council motion referenced units 128, 129 and 138) to the Brazosport College Police Department. Chief/representative Chris Mizuno described the college's need and said local departments often pass down decommissioned vehicles to smaller agencies and academies. A council motion to donate the vehicles passed after a second.
No roll-call vote totals naming each council member were recorded in the transcript for these items; the record shows motions, seconds and unanimous "aye" responses.
