The Alvin Sunrise Rotary Club
will keep tabs on how much it’s
paying for police presence dur-
ing the annual Music Festival
and Cook-off next month. Once
it produces a monetary figure, it
will then present the amount to
the city of Alvin and reimburse
the non-profit group with said
amount.
This was a decision that came

placed on actual street signs, the differences between Alvin water
and sewer water and the items needed to work on a six-inch water
pipe.

who has overseen the various sessions, said this last one with Smith

annual festival between the Al-
vin Sunrise Rotary Club and the
city of Alvin was discussed.
It was an item that was listed
as an exclusive use agreement
for the Alvin Sunrise Rotary
Foundation and its annual event
at Briscoe Park to be held April
7-9. But, it culminated in more
debate of other non-profit groups
and whether the city could fi-
nally exercise its part of various
agreements in preparation for
those events.
A citizen academy named Alvin Upfront is nearly coming
to a close after 10 residents had the chance to speak to various
department heads the past few weeks and learn how their city
operates.
The latest question and answer session was at the Wastewa-
ter Treatment Plant, March 16. There, they about 10 Alvin Up-
front attendees had the opportunity to speak to Public Services
Director Brian Smith and Brandon Moody, public utilities su-
perintendent.
They were able to see and touch a lot of gadgets that serve
as important devices for the daily operations of the city. They
A Stonewall subdivision vari-
ance was granted in a northern-
most part of Alvin’s extra territo-
rial jurisdiction following a 4-3
vote by the Alvin City Council
during a meeting, March 2.
A month before the council
decision, the city’s engineering
department and its director, Mi-
chelle Segovia, received a letter
on behalf of developer Clayton
Homes to request a couple of
variances to the city’s Code of
Ordinances.
The letter dated Feb. 14 was
from LJA Engineering, Inc., act-
ing on behalf of Clayton Homes.
It was in regards to a subdi-
vision located southeast of the
intersection of county roads 143
and 128.
Clayton Homes had proposed
a residential development con-
sisting of 38 half-acre lots for
modular homes.
According to Clayton Homes,
each house would cost between
$160,000 to $180,000 and av-
erage between 1,400 to 2,000
square feet per home.
The variances for new sub-
divisions with roadside ditch
drainage systems is required to
have minimum one-acre lots.
Clayton Homes had requested
the construction of half-acre lots.
Segovia said plans would be to

HB 947, if passed, will designate the por-
tion of FM 1462 between SH 288 and SH
35 as the Lt. Col. Roy Lin Tisdale Memorial
Highway.
Rep. Ed Thompson who represents Dis-
trict 29 which includes Alvin filed the bill
Jan. 11. It was sent to the Defense and Veter-
ans’ Affairs Committee on Feb. 21, where it
is awaiting further action.
“The loss of Lieutenant Colonel Tisdale, a
graduate of Alvin High School, was a sense-
less tragedy felt across the state, but he has
wonderful family and friends that are keep-
ing his memory and legacy alive, including
his wife, their two children, and his dedi cat-
meeting.
In 2016, the city spent ap-
proximately $67,000 (labor,
equipment, and other costs) for

ed friends who sponsor the “Running with
Roy” Memorial 5K/10K Fun Run in College
Station every year in his honor. I believe that
HB 947 will be a fitting tribute to Lt. Col.
Tisdale’s service to our community, state,
and nation by designating a portion of FM
1462 in his memory,” Thompson said.
Both Tisdale’s widow and his mother
were appreciative of Thompson’s effort.
“I think my husband would be in awe of
this honor,” said his widow, Kim Tisdale.
“When a fellow classmate of ours, Cindy
Murphy, told me she had written to Rep.
In speaking about an “event
application” that was approved
in March 2013, City Manager
Sereniah Breland read that non-
profit groups were mandated to
pay for security, but the policy
has not been enforced in the past.
After speaking to members of
the Sunrise Rotary Club in prep-
aration for their April festival,
Breland said she proposed a way
to work out the issue of security

vote following a discussion on
the matter during its first March $50,000 (labor, equipment and
other costs).
Paying for police presence at
various festivals for non-profit
groups was at the center of dis-
cussion among city staff and
councilmen during the March 2
meeting.
The issue of who should pay
for security or be reimbursed as
it was later described came up
when a license agreement for the
