The Bayou Vista Board of Aldermen voted Tuesday night to seek monetary compensation from Null-Lairson, expressing disappointment in the firm's past work for the city. The board voted to recommend a salary increase for Assistant City Secretary Brenda Loewen, who also serves as municipal court clerk. The action came after Loewen's six month evaluation. The board tabled action on the FY 2003 Audit by Pringle Jenkins and Associates until the March 18 workshop meeting. The board deferred action on a new hurricane preparedness and evacuation plan for City Hall, the police department and recreational facilities. Aldermen wanted more information on procedures for return following storms. The board discussed a request from the Bayou Vista Firefighters Association Board of Directors for monetary assistance with repairs to Engine Two; and agreed to consider the request in next year's budget. The board voted to call the May 15 municipal election. The terms of Position 1 Alderman Tricia Bell and Position 5 Alderman Steve Leach are up for election. The board voted to table a proposal by Bell to require mandatory garbage collection for all residents of Bayou Vista by BFI, the current provider. The board discussed concerns raised by Council Member Eddie Stafford about "unsafe traffic conditions" at the main intersections entering Bayou Vista. The issues will be addressed in a meeting with Texas Department of Transportation officials. All other agenda items were approved.
