The Texas City City Commission on Wednesday approved a change order in the contract with SER Construction, the civil contractor on the Logan Street Paving, Drainage and Waterline Improvements project, to include immediate renovations on Century Boulevard. "Due to age, poor construction techniques and recent rainfall, Century Boulevard has deteriorated," said Public Works Director Tom Kessler. "Recently, the condition of Century reached a crisis state that required immediate attention from city crews to keep the road open." Kessler recommended that SER Construction be asked to immediately add the project to its schedule. "The work will be done in accordance to the Logan technical specifications and will take approximately 10 weeks to complete," Kessler said. The commission voted to amend the city's lease with the Texas General Land Office to add some tracts of land for the Texas City Container Terminal. "In conjunction with the access easement that we are wrapping up, there were additional tracts along Swan Lake that needed to be included," said City Attorney Bobby Gervais. The commission voted to award a $52,155 contract with AAR Incorporated for the demolition of 18 properties. The commission reappointed Roy Davila to the Civil Service Commission. Davila chairs the commission. All other agenda items were approved. Texas City Mayor Carlos Garza called for a public meeting to hear a report from the consultant hired by the Civil Service Commission to review internal affairs procedures in the police department. The city commission honored two Texas City police officers, Patrolmen Earl Mendenhall and James Ray Corn Jr., for the arrest four people last month for the murder of two people. The city commission recognized several educators and students in honor of Public School Week.
