The Kennedale City Council unanimously authorized the mayor to execute an amended employment agreement with the city manager that had been discussed in executive session, directing execution before Sept. 1, 2025.

Councilman Glover moved the action, saying, "Regarding executive session item B, the city manager contract agreement. I make a motion authorizing the mayor to execute the amended employment agreement with the city manager's contract that was discussed in executive session before 09/01/2025." A second was offered and the mayor announced, "All in favor? And for the record, all opposed with the like sign, Madam Secretary, the motion passes unanimously."

The council did not disclose the terms of the amended agreement, salary figures, or any ancillary employment conditions during the open session. The motion recorded in the transcript authorizes the mayor to sign the amended contract; no roll-call vote or line-item details are included in the open-session remarks.

No public comment or further council deliberation on the employment terms is recorded in the open portion of the meeting; the council proceeded to adjourn at approximately 8:53 p.m.
