Four Alternatives Put Forward On Fate Of Port Isabel Port Isabel City Commission weighs reorganizing the PI SBND or joining Brownsville District with a Feb hearing set on HUD funds and a survey planned to gauge resident preference.
The Port Isabel City Commission discussed four options for the Port Isabel-San Benito Navigation District including deannexation, merging with Brownsville Navigation District, or dissolving the PI SBND with BND taking over. Public hearings on the $58,000 Community Development grant are scheduled, and Mayor Quirino Martinez and board members weighed the futures of Port Isabel’s port, taxes, and jobs. The panel approved HUD Section 8 rental program adoption, set April 1 mayor and council seats, hired a police patrolman, and tabled a city personnel policy while hearing fire and street reports.
