Jacinto City, TX. – June 28, 2018 — At the Jacinto City Council meeting, Lt. D. Walker, Sgt. B.J. Silva, Sgt. E. Ramos, Cpl. A.J. Seydler, Patrolman O. Elizondo, Patrolman T. Hodges, Patrolman A. Kamali and Dispatcher Esther G. Perez were recognized for their outstanding service to the city. Police Chief Joey Ayala commended them for their quick action in two separate armed robberies between April and May that cumulated in the felony arrest of eleven robbery suspects.

Chad Burke, President of The Economic Alliance Corporation for the Houston Ship Channel region, in which the city is a member, gave their annual report.

Allan Jamail, founder of the Keep Jacinto City Clean Committee, questioned how building work at 10902 Lane Street on a home was allowed for six months without a valid building permit. City Manager Lon Squyres said currently a Stop Work Violation Red Tag has been placed on the building and the owner has been notified of the violations to the city’s building code and the requirement to obtain a building permit before any future work can continue.
