After an executive session, the Elgin City Council on motion authorized the mayor to negotiate and execute all documents necessary to purchase approximately 38 acres at 18706 Lydig Road in Elgin for the purpose of constructing a wastewater treatment plant.
The action was moved during the council's post-executive session proceedings; the motion was seconded and carried unanimously. Mayor Teresa McShane and Mayor Pro Tem Brazier, along with council members Kesnowski, Gibson, Wayne, Love, Kellyanne, Rodriguez and Dennis, voted yes.
The item was discussed in executive session under provisions of the Texas Government Code that allow closed deliberations with legal counsel and on real property before the council returned to open session to take formal action. The council’s motion authorized the mayor to negotiate and execute “all documents necessary to purchase approximately 38 acres of land described at the address of 18706 Lydig Road, Elgin for the purpose of constructing a wastewater treatment plant,” as stated on the meeting record.
No purchase price or financing details were provided in the public record at the time the motion was made. The council scheduled a special meeting for canvassing and administrative items later in the month.
Taken together, the vote marked a formal decision to proceed with negotiations and document execution; subsequent steps such as closing, budgeting, engineering, and permitting were not detailed in the meeting record.
