City Council Special Meeting, 11/13/2026

At the City of Laredo City Council special meeting on November 13, 2026, council canvassed and approved the official results of the November 3 municipal general and special elections. Council also approved calling a mayoral runoff election for December 12 and authorized the city manager to contract with the Webb County Elections Office to conduct it, at an estimated cost of $97,475.17. Members discussed early-voting locations and voter access, including a request to add a District 8 site; that motion failed, and the runoff plan proceeded with the sites in the contract. The approved estimate may change through discussions with the county.

The council read the results of a nonbinding referendum in favor of expanding pediatric hospital services and encouraging Webb County to evaluate options under Texas law; members clarified that the result does not require council action. The meeting also included recognition of a local high-school girls’ volleyball team. No other procurement or spending decisions were identified.
