The Texas City City Commission on Wednesday voted unanimously to approve the first of three readings of an ordinance imposing penalties for excessive false alarms. "The service fee may be assessed to the person(s) who is the registered permit holder(s) where the alarm system is located," the ordinance reads. "The amount assessed for a false alarm of an alarm system after seven previous false alarms (during the preceding 12 months) will be $50, then $50 per response thereafter." The city commission approved the third and final reading of amendments to the city's Land Use Plan ordinance. The city commission voted to create the Texas City Historical Preservation Corporation and approved articles of incorporation and bylaws for the corporation. The action, which is intended to assist the city with development of the Texas City Museum Master Plan, coincides with the dissolving of the Texas City Museum Board. All other agenda items were approved. All votes were unanimous. The city commission held a workshop discussion on the proposal to cap the taxes of senior and disabled citizens, but no action was taken. Hyperlinks will work if this document is read Online
