Who's involved
The Bridgeland Community Supports Veterans, Inc. (nonprofit selling dedication bricks)
Harris County WCID No. 157 (builds the Veterans Memorial Park (with WCID 159, MUD 419 and MUD 489))
Trustee Anthony T. McBride (MUD 489 trustee; abstained)
Why the board approved it
Recorded: “Two in favor, one abstention; motion failed (p.2). Six trustees were present; three votes recorded.”
No money. The vote record is incomplete (three of six present trustees' votes not recorded). MUD 489, whose trustee abstained, is a party to the Veterans Memorial Park contract.
