Council orders election, discusses joint election services agreement with ISD and counties

The Gunter City Council said it has ordered the city's upcoming election and discussed entering a joint local agreement for election services with the school district and neighboring counties.

A council member moved to enter a joint and local agreement for election services to allow shared administration with the independent school district and counties so the city would not administer the election alone. The council member said, "We have ordered our elections." Staff said the motion and related agenda item would be carried forward; no formal roll-call vote is recorded in the provided transcript.

Council members pulled related items 6 and 7 for separate consideration, and staff clarified timing and follow-up steps required to finalize the agreements and election logistics.
