Galveston City Council approved a $316,451 contract with Jamail Construction to repave the Strand from 25th Street to 20th Street. The Galveston Industrial Development Corporation had earlier approved the expenditure from the Streets and Drainage Fund. Chuck Lawrence, who covered the meeting for Guidry News Service, reports that work will begin on Ash Wednesday and be finished by Memorial Day. Galveston Park Board of Trustees President and CEO Gil Langley met with the city council to discuss the park board's plan to initiate a paid parking plan on the Seawall. Langley reported that 6,600 free annual parking passes have already been picked up at the park board offices. Seventy-five percent of those who have obtained the passes are from Galveston. A proposal to retain outside counsel to represent the city in the lawsuit threatened by Galvestonians Against Paid Parking on the Seawall was withdrawn from the agenda. All other action items were approved. All votes were unanimous.
