The City of La Porte LPDC & Council meeting was held September 29, 2026. The principal procurement item was a holiday-decor package for City Hall, approved through Premier Lighting Enterprises/Holiday Concierge using TIPS contract 2550902. The authorization was $95,352.07, including $76,281.82 for purchase, installation, takedown, and annual storage and a contingency of approximately $19,070.25. The council approved the motion, which also asked staff to return with three color-palette options and consider using contingency funds to improve median decorations. The expense was not included in the FY27 budget; staff proposed using general-fund contingency funds that would otherwise expire September 30. The LPDC also reported approving an enhancement grant for Main 101, with no amount stated. The meeting included a third-quarter CIP report, but no specific project awards or spending decisions were detailed in the transcript.

Other actions included approval of a special conditional use permit for a secondary dwelling unit at 10913 Houston Drive and direction to study potential zoning changes in identified areas, excluding the Union Pacific property, with recommendations to return individually. Council revoked the massage-business permit for Wellness Spa and Massage/Galveston Wellness Spa. Police staff presented information on the existing Flock license-plate-reader system, including data safeguards and transparency plans; no related purchase was considered. The council also approved consent items, including an increase of two authorized police patrol-officer positions.
