After an executive session to discuss negotiations with a commercial prospect known in the record as “Project Wellness,” the Mineral Wells City Council voted to approve the resolution concerning Project Wellness on both first and second readings. Council approved the first reading by motion, then approved the second reading later in the evening; both votes were recorded as 7-0.

City staff said the matter concerned confidential commercial and financial information and economic-development negotiations discussed in executive session under Texas Government Code Chapter 551. The public record at the meeting contains the motions and the unanimous votes on the resolution but limited public detail about the substance of the incentive or terms because the council discussed the item in closed session as allowed by state law.

Council members moved and seconded the readings without public amendment at the first and second readings; the resolution passed both readings 7-0. Staff identified the item on the agenda as relating to a possible financial or other incentive to a business prospect and listed the item under the city’s executive-session agenda.
