Council liaison highlights Trader Joe’s progress, $120,000 signal work and police body armor

Councilwoman Jackie Georgio updated the commission Sept. 10 on recent council business, including construction, branding and public‑safety items.

“Jackie Georgio, Bellaire City Council, position 6,” she said when introducing herself. Georgio said the Trader Joe’s project is building to code, the council will soon see a proposed new city logo, and the council approved a $120,000 contract for traffic‑signal maintenance. She also said the council approved new body armor for police and a construction service agreement with CenterPoint.

Georgio and commission members briefly discussed a local newspaper article mentioning the business development plan; Georgio said the city would continue with outreach about any special‑district work and that the Trader Joe’s timeline remains on track.
