WIMBERLEY, Texas '025 ' The Wimberley City Council on Aug. 21 approved a right-of-entry agreement with a property owner to allow surveying of land tied to the Old Kyle Road and Oldham project, a procedural step in property evaluation and project planning.

During discussion, legal counsel and staff described the agreement as a limited right of entry to permit survey work; the council asked for authorization to proceed with counsel negotiating the document. Councilmember Rebecca Minnick recused herself from the discussion and vote. Another councilmember moved to approve the agreement and it passed unanimously among the remaining members.

Staff said the agreement is intended to allow surveyors to enter private property to define boundaries and prepare for possible future project steps. No purchase, easement acquisition, or construction authorization was taken at the meeting; staff said this action is an early, informational step to obtain survey data.

The council directed staff to proceed with the right-of-entry negotiations with counsel and to return with any further developments for council consideration.
