Votes at a glance
- Ordinance O‑2025‑0012 (final reading): Establishing a Special Events Committee. Motion carried on final reading (voice vote recorded at the meeting).
- Resolution R‑2025‑0029: Authorizing designated city officers to sign and endorse checks and drafts for city bank accounts (finance director, city manager, city clerk). Resolution approved.
- Resolution R‑2025‑0030: Authorizing city officers to administer and manage city investment accounts (city manager, finance director, city clerk). Resolution approved.
- Public safety building: Council approved a $40,000 conceptual design proposal from ProjectLong for the city’s public-safety building conceptual design and asked the architect to expedite two site options; staff said a public presentation of findings is planned next month.
- Texas Health Benefits Pool renewal: Council authorized the city manager to sign the FY26 renewal and benefit verification documents for the Texas Health Benefits Pool; staff said overall pool rates rose roughly 2% for the coming year.
What the council did not act on at the meeting: no final vote on city‑level grants beyond administrative approvals discussed elsewhere; the Wisteria Drainage project presentation and Section 3 compliance materials were informational and did not require a vote.
Why this matters: The adopted ordinance creates the committee that will advise on city special events. Signatory and investment resolutions are housekeeping actions that ensure the city’s finance operations have current authorized signers. The public safety building approval funds conceptual design work the city expects before a proposed bond or election decision later in the year.
Records and next steps: The meeting minutes and the official roll will show the full recorded votes. The public‑safety architects are slated to present findings next month; staff said the design work is intended to be completed in time for a potential November election if council proceeds with a bond or ballot measure.
