Compare museum management agreement term against amendment options
Why now: The ordinance extends the agreement to October 31, 2026 while adding two 5-year options, a 180-day transition between contractor and City, and a $50,000 reimbursement funded from the annual management fee, and it returns for a vote on 2026-10-13.
What to do: Pull the original Service Agreement and the Amendment No. 1 text, then check whether the October 31, 2026 end date, the two 5-year extension options, and the 180-day transition period fit together. Also check who decides whether an option is exercised, and whether the $50,000 advertising reimbursement is capped by the annual management fee.

Ask why museum management extension ends October 31
Why now: The ordinance passed first reading on the consent agenda on 2026-09-15 and returns 2026-10-13 (6 votes required), and the October 31, 2026 end date sits only weeks after that vote while the 180-day transition and $50,000 advertising reimbursement to Friends of the Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History remain unexplained.
What to do: Ask the city why Amendment No. 1 extends the museum management agreement only to October 31, 2026 while also adding two 5-year options and a 180-day transition. Request the staff memo and the current agreement, and ask whether the transition or the options actually take effect.
Act before: After the requested records are produced
