   Based on several complaints of a bar at 407 7th Street - commonly known as Shotz or Rodeo VIP - selling alcohol after hours, Bay City Police Department decided to form a special operation earlier this month.
   Under Cpl. Dan Shook, the special operation - dubbed by police as Operation Tequila Sunrise - would determine if the complaints were true and, if so, put a stop to the illegal actions. 
   Before the operation began, the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) was contacted and it verified the bar did not have a permit. 
   Prior to the operation, TABC contacted the business owner to notify them that selling without a permit was illegal. 
   The operation’s first phase was gathering intelligence and verifying the sales of alcohol. Undercover officers went into the bar to determine if alcohol was being sold. Officers went inside the bar and verified alcoholic beverages were being sold. 

Dear friends of Collegeport,
   We cordially invite you and your family to join in celebrating Collegeport Day on Saturday, May 26, at the Mopac House. Our traditional BBQ dinner will begin at noon.  Please bring side dishes, salads and desserts to complete the meal. 
   Collegeport Day commemorates our community’s founding in 1908.  Each year, residents and friends gather to reminisce and enjoy great food and fellowship. The Collegeport Day homecoming is celebrated the LAST Saturday in May. 
   Barbecue preparations begin mid-afternoon on Friday and continue until dinnertime on Saturday.  Come join the BBQ Crew and experience this tradition as well!  Remaining barbecue will be sold at the pit after dinner.
   Volunteers to assist with set-up of tables and chairs on Saturday morning, and with clean-up after dinner, are greatly appreciated!

   Van Vleck ISD trustees unanimously approved a guaranteed maximum price bid (GMP) of $487,480 by Drymalla  Construction Company to execute Phase 2 of the stadium/practice field renovations at Van Vleck High School.
   The renovations are one part of the $88.2 million bond project package passed last November.
    The original scope of work was projected to cost $772,857.
   “That’s a savings of $285,377 to the district,” said Sophia Dusek, PBK architect project executive. “There’s no value engineering done on this bid at all.”
   PBK advertised for bidders via telephone, public notices and web-based bid processing sites and all bidders had to present a written proposal.
   “Did we get any local participation?” asked trustee Kevin Ward. “I really want to see as much local business as possible on this bond.”
