# City Commission Regular Meeting 11-04-2026 @ 5:00PM - City of Texas City

The City of Texas City Commission’s regular meeting on November 4, 2026, included a Gulf Coast Protection District update on the Coastal Texas project. The district reported that Jacobs had previously been awarded an engineering contract for the Bolivar Roads gate design and another contract was awarded for the beaches-and-dunes design; no new project contract was awarded at this meeting. The project is authorized at $34.4 billion, with $950 million appropriated by Texas, $6.75 million in federal funding advanced, and a further $10.6 million included in a draft federal appropriations bill. The presentation also covered stakeholder engagement, navigation considerations, and the project’s long-term design and construction timeline.

The commission approved Resolution 2026-137, authorizing the library to continue purchasing materials from vendors under state contracts, which offer vetted purchasing arrangements and discounts; vendor names and a total amount were not stated. It also approved a fiscal-year 2026–27 budget amendment for three Innovation and Technology Department positions, with an estimated $160,000–$170,000 impact on fund balances. Other discussion included the quarterly investment report, delayed financial audits, public concerns about police conduct and neighborhood infrastructure, personnel-policy revisions, and police staffing. No additional procurement awards were identified.
