Council directs staff to draft PEC franchise resolution, postpones complaint discussion to March 26
Summary
After an executive session, council directed staff to return with a resolution approving a Pedernales Electric Cooperative franchise agreement and voted to postpone consideration of complaint 2025‑CD‑001 until March 26.
Following an executive session March 12, the Liberty Hill City Council directed staff to return at the next meeting with a resolution approving a franchise agreement with Pedernales Electric Cooperative (PEC) and postponed discussion of complaint number 2025‑CD‑001 until the March 26 council meeting.
A motion directing staff to prepare a franchise-resolution for PEC was moved and seconded and passed unanimously. The council then moved to postpone item 9C—discussion of complaint 2025‑CD‑001—until the March 26 meeting; council recorded the postponement and directed staff accordingly.
Why it matters: Franchise agreements establish the terms for a utility’s use of public rights-of-way and related obligations; the council’s direction begins the formal process of authorizing staff to prepare the resolution for council consideration. The postponed personnel/complaint discussion will return when all council members are present, per council direction.
Vote outcomes recorded in the meeting: the franchise direction motion passed unanimously; the postponement motion was recorded and scheduled for March 26. The council adjourned following the executive-session actions.
