The Brenham City Council will address the city’s COVID-19 disaster declaration at its meeting Thursday.

Following Governor Greg Abbott’s order lifting COVID-19 restrictions and mask requirements, which takes effect tomorrow (Wednesday), the council will discuss the city’s current mayoral declaration, any potential revisions to it, and the possibility of rescinding it in its entirety.

Any possible action will be as discussed by the council, as city staff are not recommending a particular action be taken.

In other items Thursday, the council will hold a workshop to hear the Brenham Police Department’s 2020 annual report and racial profiling report.

Councilmembers will also meet in executive session for utility competitive matters, discussing a gas sales contract between the city and WTG Gas Marketing, Inc.

The council will also consider:

  • A bid related to the annual generator maintenance and inspection contract for various city facilities.
  • A resolution for the awarding of grant administration and/or planning services for qualified projects for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program for Rural Texas through the Texas Department of Agriculture.
  • A resolution for the awarding of engineering/architecture/surveying services for qualified projects for the CDBG program.
  • An electronic payment processing agreement between the city and VeriCheck, Inc. for services related to the electronic payment and collection of Hotel Occupancy Taxes.

The council will meet Thursday afternoon at 1 p.m. at Brenham City Hall.

  1. I would like to encourage the council to resist the populist parade of ignorance and maintain social distancing and mask measures. The governor’s order is politically motivated and, as he knew full was inevitable the last time he prematurely opened our state that this will result in more and unnecessary deaths. Let’s be big boys and girls for a little while longer, get more vaccine coverage throughout the community then SAFELY reopen.

    1. I find it amazing how many people of this County, and the State as a whole, that you have insulted and demeaned.
      Please, wear a mask, stay home forever.
      The rest of the Adults will continue to live, and take all of the risks and rewards that life has to offer.

    3. People like yourself should please move to California if you enjoy the lockdowns and masks so much. They are the blueprint for how to handle COVID and actually lead the nation!! Again, no one is stopping you from wearing a mask, staying locked up scared to death in your home for the rest of your life. That’s your choice and feel free to do so. You can wait patiently for the very political Dr.Fauci to tell you what to do next. What will he flip-flop on next!!! Can’t wait!!
