Llano council approves series of ordinances, budget cleanup and contracts; roundup of votes

The Llano City Council approved a series of ordinances, budget amendments, professional-services contracts and a resolution during its regular meeting.

Key outcomes recorded in the public transcript:

- Ordinance No. 1560: Approved — special use permit for property at 804 West Lampasas (no public comment). The public hearing record indicated no speakers and the council approved the ordinance by motion and second.

- Ordinance No. 1561: Approved — amendment to the fiscal year 2024–25 budget to correct and clean up revenue and expense line items. City staff described the item as routine housekeeping; the council approved the amendment by voice vote.

- Contract with Steger & Bizelle (engineering): Approved — professional services for the Llano County Texas Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) project for the 700 block of Ford Street. Staff said one qualification response was received (the city engineer); grant rules permit the selection and grant will cover the cost.

- Resolution R2025-12: Approved — to open a J O K account for event prize funds and to designate signers on that account. Staff said the account will hold prize money for sponsored events; the resolution authorizes finance director, city secretary and a designated staff member as signers and maintains the two-signature requirement.

- Ordinance No. 1562: Approved — amendment to the master fee schedule to correct bracket gaps and clarify fee ranges for permitting and commercial review services; staff said the change closes a gap that could have left some permit valuation ranges unspecified.

All the items above carried on motions, with seconders, and passed by voice vote; the public transcript does not include roll-call tallies or names of the motion movers and seconders for each item. No items were recorded as failing or tabled in the public record.
