A motion to approve the consent agenda passed 6–0. The council did not identify individual consent items during the public portion of the meeting; the ordinance/resolution numbers and item specifics were not specified on the record during the roll call.

On item 6 the council considered a resolution to reappoint Carrie Walden as municipal court judge for a two‑year term retroactive to April 1, 2025. A council member moved to approve a resolution reappointing Carrie Walden as municipal court judge for the period of 04/01/2025 to 03/31/2027; a second followed and the council recorded unanimous ayes. Council members who recorded votes included Rusher, Reagan Johnson (mayor), Mitchell, Mayor Pro Tem Beth Watson, Rankin and one additional council member; the tally was recorded as 6–0 in favor.

Following an executive session conducted under the Texas Government Code, a motion to reappoint Dr. Alice Ramsey to the Mineral Wells Health Authority passed 6–0. The council moved, seconded and recorded unanimous ayes; no conditions or dissent were recorded on the public roll call.

The council listed the executive session authorities on the public record at the start of the closed meeting, citing Texas Government Code sections 551.071 (consultation with attorney) and 551.074 (personnel matters) as reasons for the closed deliberations. City staff said the municipal court reappointment was being corrected on the record because the incumbent’s term had expired March 31 and staff needed the reappointment retroactive to April 1 so the judge could sign outstanding warrants.

All votes taken during the open session were unanimous as recorded by the city.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Mineral Wells, Texas City Council Meeting 04/15/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Mineral Wells City Council approved the consent agenda and unanimously reappointed Carrie Walden as municipal court judge (retroactive April 1, 2025–March 31, 2027) and Dr. Alice Ramsey to the Mineral Wells Health Authority following executive session.","taxTitle","Mineral Wells, Palo Pinto County, Texas","taxId",64442,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6269552,"Council hears progress update on MH 379 street reconstruction; paving expected in May",87,910370,997410,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3042325-5f1a7d7e82fc2c83b2aeb62c0005a128&start=910&end=997","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3042325-5f1a7d7e82fc2c83b2aeb62c0005a128/thumbnail_910370.jpg","/articles/6269552/Mineral-Wells/Palo-Pinto-County/Texas/Council-hears-progress-update-on-MH-379-street-reconstruction-paving-expected-in-May","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6269552-086281509d8c6af2a769875600f73f96/orig.mp4?Expires=1776833834&Signature=c2siM0GwPbNBP6cNERSrSQtn0VRIoleRKgozQlC1zi9AOI65M1V4Bp~HEXDu6jvojTPs9R-0f1qqe60rkptB2wHp~u6SSBuVcEhAAs55fw6yiUISkGbFgcZDpKWwT7ABmEvRpokqinc-wLBlUJYLifPaM4rABOQeucU~e1W3c-7NdBiSGQki~oOqOsgwx8c6z8~cLLn1igCMweIV9cWGiqvkQ9wkzWhVcQ6duak1thRPf0Rwr2iduuckpFxVMenKMq9RD8XxOFchg1FhLuvBr4Wz1x98c0CiJogCNlSJIxC5P~Kz8NykQi9~1a5iOLQBidmIsSdgMDIZxqge4fBxEA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Landon Allen, P.E., representing Park Hill, told the Mineral Wells City Council on an April 2025 agenda that work on the MH 379 Street reconstruction is about halfway through the pulverizing phase and that paving is expected to begin in mid- to late May.

The update matters because the roadway carries heavier truck traffic than many local streets and the council and staff said they chose a deeper structural section to reduce premature failure. Allen said the contractor, Peachtree Construction, received a notice to proceed on March 17 and that the paving contractor expects the paving portion to begin in four to five weeks.

Allen said the project was bid in October and tied into a multi‑year reconstruction bond. He described an adjusted work plan that shifted a short segment to meet the intersection edge rather than leaving a 100‑foot strip undone, and said staff handled that change through a work change directive rather than a change order. The change added a paint/striping line item of $620, he said.

On pavement structure, Allen described a more robust design than a surface overlay: an 8‑inch stabilized layer, a 12‑inch flexible base, and then multiple lift thicknesses including a 4‑inch top course and a 2‑inch surface course. He estimated — without promising an exact lifetime — that the reconstruction should last “at least 20 to 30 years,” subject to traffic loads and maintenance.

A council member asked about the project schedule and whether the contractor could finish earlier than the original four‑month window; Allen said the contractor expected to finish paving roughly six weeks after starting that phase and that the overall work could be wrapped up in June. Council members also asked about how heavy truck traffic might affect longevity; Allen said the deeper subgrade treatment was chosen specifically because of that heavier traffic.

No formal council action was taken on the update; the presentation was an informational item and council members asked clarifying questions of staff. Park Hill and the city's public works staff will continue to oversee construction and any future change orders would be brought to the council as required.","City staff and Park Hill representative Landon Allen told the Mineral Wells City Council the MH 379 Street reconstruction is about halfway through pulverizing, with paving expected to begin mid- to late May and completion likely in June; the project includes deeper subgrade work intended to extend the pavement's service life.","actionData","errors"]
