Obtain the adopted election ordinance for Crime Control District renewal
Applies if: You advise a party affected by the district or the sales tax
Why now: The ordinance passed 8-0 on second reading on 2026-08-11 and orders a 10-year continuation question, notice publication, branch early polling places, and a joint election with Nueces County.
What to do: Pull Enactment No. 033983 and check the notice, early polling place, and joint election terms with Nueces County against the ballot question. Defects are easier to raise before the November 3 election than after results.
Act before: After the November 3, 2026 election
Request Council answers on Crime Control District renewal election
Why now: The first reading on 2026-07-28 passed with no comments, but on 2026-08-11 the item was pulled from consent, Marilena Garza spoke (position not stated), and Zanoni and Assistant Chief Christopher White answered questions before the 8-0 vote.
What to do: Ask the city for the questions and answers from Council's discussion with the City Manager and Assistant Police Chief, and find out what the district funds. The item was pulled from the consent agenda after passing without comment on first reading, so the public record never shows what prompted the questions.
Act before: After the requested records are produced
