Board reads ordinances on records retention and code of ethics; second readings set for Aug. 25
Summary
The Board held first readings of two ordinances: Bill 25‑33, creating a records‑retention section in the Town of Country Municipal Code; and Bill 25‑34, amending the code of ethics and conflicts of interest chapter. Both were continued to the Aug. 25 meeting for second reading.
The Board of Aldermen conducted first readings of two ordinances affecting municipal governance and ethics and continued both to the board’s Aug. 25 meeting for second reading. Bill number 25‑33 would amend Title 1, Chapter 130 (Open Meetings and Records) by enacting Section 130.09 on the keeping and retention of records. Bill number 25‑34 would amend Title 1, Government Code, Chapter 120, pertaining to the code of ethics and conflicts of interest.
Why it matters: Both bills would change the municipal code’s governance sections and, if adopted, would set new local rules for records retention and for ethics/conflict‑of‑interest conduct by city officials.
What happened at the meeting: The city clerk read both bills for the first time. Each reading was moved as a board matter without objection and continued to the meeting on Monday, Aug. 25, 2025, for a second reading and further consideration.
Next steps: The Board scheduled second‑reading consideration on Aug. 25; no public hearing or vote on final adoption occurred at this meeting.
