The City Commission Meeting of Texas City on February 18, 2026, covered several key procurement and budgetary matters. The commission approved the purchase of 77 new Yamaha Drive EFI golf carts for the Bayou Golf Course, opting for outright purchase rather than leasing, reflecting a strategic investment in recreational infrastructure. Additionally, a budget amendment of $25,000 was approved for the removal of lead from the berms at the Texas City Municipal Shooting Range, addressing environmental and safety concerns. A significant budget amendment request of $306,648 to cover increased costs in the Galveston County Animal Services agreement was tabled for further review due to the substantial increase in fees.
