Public Works Director Chester Nolan told the council the existing telehandler at the plant had been in service for more than 20 years and is worn out. The council authorized purchasing two SkyTrak telehandlers from Kirby‑Smith Machinery through the BuyBoard cooperative contract; the agenda listed the purchase amount as $419,506. During staff remarks the total was later cited as $419,566; the council record shows the item passed 6-0. Staff said one unit is already staged in Houston and could be delivered in about 10 days, with the second unit expected within a month or two.

On the East Wastewater Treatment Plant waterline extension, staff said an 8-inch water line was included in the property purchase for the east plant and is needed to supply water to the facility and fulfill conditions tied to the land purchase. The council awarded bid number “20Four-twentyFive-ten” to EGW Services LLC in the amount of $459,319, plus a 10% contingency of $45,935. The council then adopted Ordinance No. 25-50 to amend the Enterprise Capital Project Fund operating budget for FY 2024–25 to authorize the expenditure; both actions passed by voice vote and were announced as 6-0.

City Manager Chris Kaufman and staff said the telehandler purchases are funded from bond proceeds issued to build and equip the wastewater plants; councilmembers clarified that the waterline expenditures are drawn from the city’s impact fee fund, intended to pay for growth-related infrastructure. Staff confirmed the 8-inch line is sized to support the plant and adjacent development, consistent with the purchase agreement for the property.

Council members asked about timing and capacity. Staff said the telehandler deliveries are expected within days to a few weeks, and the waterline ties and construction will follow the awarded contract schedule. The council recorded the approvals and adopted the budget amendment ordinance in two separate motions; the mayor announced both measures passed 6-0.

Staff will execute the purchase agreements and construction contract and return to council or staff reports as required under procurement rules and the adopted budget ordinance.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Granbury City Council Meeting: Aug. 19, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Council authorized purchasing two SkyTrak telehandlers for wastewater treatment plants and awarded the East Wastewater Treatment Plant waterline contract to EGW Services LLC, and adopted an ordinance amending the Enterprise Capital Project Fund budget.","taxTitle","Granbury, Hood County, Texas","taxId",58184,"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},6498706,"Council adopts resolution supporting Visit Granbury’s tourism-friendly designation application",212,1213000,1425000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5607370-bef614eecc0300280a1b6a4975a2f051&start=1213&end=1425","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5607370-bef614eecc0300280a1b6a4975a2f051/thumbnail_1213000.jpg","/articles/6498706/Granbury/Hood-County/Texas/Council-adopts-resolution-supporting-Visit-Granburys-tourism-friendly-designation-application","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6498706-6157fc87562aac6da0dd7c00db52de77/orig.mp4?Expires=1771141790&Signature=m-y8JdL6I0oeGreRFkJb4fd8BWvAGcOVQHeWD8x63nf0ARjcwq53kuv03cBJNeh3v6s98UbzW7eVYAt9CdFXYNCXK4OjQcsISByOZaZKnZk-P5toABoRHttrzYo0TvxdsYFiTZMpTKwNWS0s1R2ypXWOJ2d0A8wmY5FKvAvTZg59BHTEQ~SJFClFepwIFXOfVdvNhXKqKr8bxrzdaQuuOf7zXUuhkRG5ZE7XWLudQyEZ0KRIjibRuxlcK5x7ArQtmaK1eWxjvNWAn42vdETaaFC69Af1Xi198U2ENAWqWD6mLi~ZeSbBHHgflQ3DrGUSB4cIljwKRHB3iBXuxPi2ZQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Granbury City Council on Aug. 19 unanimously adopted Resolution No. 25-12 evidencing the city’s support for Visit Granbury’s application for the tourism-friendly community designation through the Texas Governor’s Office Economic Development and Tourism Division.

City staff said the designation recognizes cities that promote tourism and can provide statewide recognition and promotional opportunities. The resolution is a required component of the application; staff told the council there is no financial impact from adoption.

Tammy (presenter identified in the transcript as the staff member leading the application steps) told the council Visit Granbury met the program’s criteria and the resolution is the final step in the application process. City Manager Chris Kaufman described the certification effort as complementary to other city recognitions (music-friendly and film-friendly city designations) and said the city is pursuing tourism designation as an additional credential.

Councilmember motions to adopt the resolution were made and seconded and the mayor announced the vote passed 6-0.

Staff indicated they will include the council resolution in Visit Granbury’s application and seek supporting letters from other community organizations as part of the broader submission process. The council did not identify any fiscal consequences to adopting the resolution.","Granbury City Council adopted Resolution No. 25-12 to support Visit Granbury’s application for the Texas Governor’s Office tourism-friendly community designation; staff said there is no financial impact.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6498711,"Granbury council approves $17,000 airport art installation recommended by Cultural Arts Commission",544,676000,1220000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5607370-bef614eecc0300280a1b6a4975a2f051&start=676&end=1220","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5607370-bef614eecc0300280a1b6a4975a2f051/thumbnail_676000.jpg","/articles/6498711/Granbury/Hood-County/Texas/Granbury-council-approves-17000-airport-art-installation-recommended-by-Cultural-Arts-Commission","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6498711-5f7407115ab362dfd47248754c6099f6/orig.mp4?Expires=1771141790&Signature=NStxocPyWzrgGK5ICtQulG2jKnj5Pp2nkPftrZN5wiJR2f5hobAKcJWHxzBVFNEsiiulv8FpIdKiD6EQlPgUD284yWxs1eE0fYr5yl3nWfHObWIXhzMM-75OPJoWku9tyXNi2Y~JAkStgl1jJYJXCuWMi-N7PfjVcRvs25cx3u0kL76VfovCbuBN4C7Xxo80sJxJzP0iDZBO1Rw-2KZhizIBB7zfHLc8NLjLP7sNiGvHszu9gaaICCFxLIttN96RG2Qc1nOuL996JAc3xyD14Dr~9yjH1YDwmlrs4CenhE65kaPMeaWdlBT~kzJzyWc-xZw~DIOMSdRpe07I4SAUSw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Granbury City Council on Aug. 19 approved the Granbury Cultural Arts Commission's recommended art design for the Granbury Regional Airport terminal, authorizing a project budget not to exceed $17,000.

The commission selected Bill McGrath’s designs titled “Clouds of Granbury” and “Granbury Wind Wave” during its Aug. 4 meeting; the council vote approved the commission’s recommendation and the funding plan, which the commission said includes a $10,000 private donation with the remainder covered by the Cultural Arts Commission’s 2025 budget.

Mariela Riley, chair of the Cultural Arts Commission, told the council the commission received about 40 submissions, narrowed them to three finalists and unanimously chose McGrath’s paired exterior and interior designs. Airport Director Cody Mathis described the installation as a two-part public artwork that begins outside the terminal and continues as a suspended ceiling element inside the fixed-base operator facility.

City Manager Chris Kaufman and other council members praised the commission’s procurement process. The commission requested a 9% contingency of $1,475 on a turnkey estimate of $15,525, bringing the total not-to-exceed budget to $17,000. The council approved the item by voice vote; the mayor announced the motion passed 6-0.

Mathis said the exterior piece will be pedestal-mounted and constructed of materials used in aircraft fuselage assembly; the interior element will hang from the FBO ceiling to continue the cloud motif. Commission members said routine maintenance is expected to be minimal — light washing for the exterior about every five years and periodic dusting for the interior piece.

The artist is expected to proceed promptly; the commission and airport indicated the artist already had travel plans and could begin work soon.

The council’s approval authorizes staff to proceed with contracting and project implementation under the approved budget and funding sources.","The Granbury City Council approved the Cultural Arts Commission's selection of Bill McGrath's paired sculptures for the Granbury Regional Airport terminal, authorizing a project budget not to exceed $17,000 funded by a $10,000 private donation and commission funds.","actionData","errors"]
