The public record, as read at reconvening, stated there was no action taken during the closed session; each of the three authorizations was taken in open session after reconvening.

The vote was unanimous.

Deputy City Manager Michael Ross and other city staff presented the agreement and told council members it had been the result of roughly eight years of work to clarify which services the volunteer department will provide and what support the city will supply, including apparatus and bunker gear. Ross said the written agreement spells out the use of public funds and the services provided by volunteers, and that the city worked with the volunteer fire department and the fire chief during negotiations.

Councilmembers moved and seconded the agreement; the motion carried 6-0. Council discussion was brief and supportive. The mayor and staff described the agreement as a step to make explicit how taxpayer dollars will be used to support volunteer fire operations and to ensure operational clarity between the municipality and the volunteer organization.

The council authorized the city manager to execute the agreement; no follow-up provisions or specific dollar amounts were specified in the transcript.","After several years of work, the council authorized an agreement between the City of Granbury and the Granbury Volunteer Fire Department, clarifying responsibilities and city support for apparatus and gear.

The council’s vote was 6-0.

Tammy Dooley, director with Visit Granbury, told the council the wrap — titled \"Vibrance\" — has been accepted and approved by the Texas Department of Transportation for the specified box location. The project is sponsored by Janice and Ken Dickinson; under the program, the sponsor covers wrap costs, the artist receives a $250 stipend, and the wrap is expected to last approximately two to three years.

Dooley said the utility box art project is intended to enhance public spaces, support local artists and boost tourism. She told council members that this is the third wrap the city has approved: one near Mesquite Pit, one in front of the conference center (still under negotiation with the city attorney), and the box approved that night on SH 144/FM 51. Council members asked about locations and timing; Dooley said the commission is seeking more artist submissions and sponsors and that packets are available via the Visit Granbury website and at Visit Granbury offices.

Councilmember Wadley moved to approve the Cultural Arts Commission’s recommendation; Councilmember Overdear seconded. The motion passed unanimously. The council noted that each wrap is a pass-through cost to the city and that the commission pays a modest stipend to artists.","The City Council approved the Cultural Arts Commission’s recommendation to wrap a utility box in vinyl reproduction of Rebecca Zook’s piece “Vibrance” at State Highway 144 and FM 51; TxDOT has approved the location and a private sponsor will cover costs.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6468802,"Granbury council approves up-to-$250,000 renewal with Buchanan Technologies for managed IT services",184,854000,1038000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5781682-8d3614d50bf41991b59069bcf5bc18dc&start=854&end=1038","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5781682-8d3614d50bf41991b59069bcf5bc18dc/thumbnail_854000.jpg","/articles/6468802/Granbury/Hood-County/Texas/Granbury-council-approves-up-to-250000-renewal-with-Buchanan-Technologies-for-managed-IT-services","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6468802-cabd70886e92ed971ac21b7bb3bc8674/orig.mp4?Expires=1771144397&Signature=Op-o-PE2tbl~wbtKYRpfFqd0~-jmfCp8Ad2aIfU-s9mk9k8JOybyoea~VSD4QA9m11rT--VawG4k~NjQnNDhvJwWbHj07dDqOuwwM1njsrKgBEZCSwZGG0OtZjle6u9zeXJT-b-jhi7SJ8~OLpm1aYcL8IscF-6h7t661LtbZNryNNmiBMxkK~65J6L~PUNoxPKEsjFFoAna4Gs-x-gXqFrt4Is-79gClqBHw-F7DuxWEnlybQCZPe777sg92OPRgm5pcxIbewYdlcMB7dJnGsXT3VFLONJ8hJRZc~P6PczLkmnBiZGAN3lPTG2H6tkJfRxnJaz2kvhwcoLlqAQswQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Granbury City Council voted 6-0 to approve a statement-of-work renewal with Buchanan Technologies for the city’s managed service provider (MSP) services, authorizing the city manager to execute an agreement not to exceed $250,000.

City staff said the renewal updates pricing under an existing master service agreement rather than creating a new master contract. Councilmember Rodriguez asked whether the renewal locks the city into a three-year commitment; IT staff representative Chris Collins said the master agreement remains in place and that the vendor must be given notice to terminate, which staff described at different points in the discussion as 90 days and possibly as short as 30 days. The council moved and seconded the renewal, and the motion carried unanimously.

City staff framed the item as an update to pricing and services rather than a replacement of the master agreement. Collins told the council that the city retains the ability to terminate the services with advance notice and that staff would move to an alternate provider if contractual performance was inadequate. The mayor noted that the consent agenda that night also included other equipment and service expenditures; the approved $250,000 cap pertains to the managed services statement of work specifically.

Councilmember Rodriguez made the motion to approve the statement-of-work renewal; Councilmember Corrigan seconded. The vote was recorded as 6 in favor, 0 opposed. The council did not record individual member votes in the transcript beyond the motion and second.

The renewal authorizes the city manager to execute the agreement and sets the spending cap for the renewed statement of work. Staff said the renewal will allow continuity for city IT operations while pricing and service levels are updated under the existing master service agreement.","The Granbury City Council voted 6-0 to renew a statement of work with Buchanan Technologies for managed IT services, updating pricing under an existing master service agreement and authorizing the city manager to execute the contract.","actionData","errors"]
