Bryan Police Arrest A Man Who Was Caught Taking Sledgehammers To A Texas Avenue Median

A Bryan man goes to jail after he is seen taking a sledgehammer to the Texas Avenue median in downtown Bryan. The Bryan police arrest report says traffic in the northbound lanes between William Joel Bryan Parkway and 26th Street were blocked by broken pieces of the median, 15 sledgehammers, and a parked pickup. The arrest report does not say if the man was asked why he was there. And there was no reference to the man being under the influence. 34 year old Edward Garza, who was charged with obstructing the road and yelling profanities at spectators, is out of jail after posting bonds totaling $2,365 dollars.

Doctors Note Now Required For Bryan ISD Nurses To Give Students Over The Counter Medicine

Bryan ISD school board members approve a policy change at their last meeting (December 16) requiring parents to have a doctor’s note for school nurses to give their children over the counter medicine.

Superintendent Ginger Carrabine told board members that the BISD’s nurses implemented the policy change before the start of the fall semester. Carrabine and deputy superintendent Brian Merrell also shared how administrators are addressing students who are in possession of over the counter medicine given to them by their parents.

City Of Bryan Has Two Contracts With An Austin Based Media And Public Relations Company

The city of Bryan has two contracts with an Austin based media and public relations company. The city council at its December meeting had no public discussion before approving a $375,000 dollar contract to develop and launch a campaign titled “Keep Water Local”. This is associated with the council’s pursuit of stopping water from being exported out of Brazos and Robertson counties. The contract calls for the city to receive public service announcements and advertisements, a website, and provide social media consultation and media relations services. The multimedia campaign is supposed to include radio, television, newspapers, and direct mail. Funding sources are $200,000 dollars from the city’s water fund and $175,000 dollars from the city’s general fund. This agreement follows a $99,000 dollar contract the city manager approved last August with the same company. The contract amount, which is within the manager’s spending authority without seeking council approval, covered components of an economic development plan. Those components includes communications and marketing audits, message and research strategy services, recommendations and best practices, and ongoing communications support services.
