She noted the establishment of a satellite location for small business support in collaboration with the South Padre Island Economic Development Corporation and the Art Business Incubator.

She emphasized the significance of the upcoming Division I football season, marking a historic milestone for the university and the region.

Following the proclamation, the council moved to the consent agenda, approving items 5.1 through 5.7 unanimously.
