Corinth calls joint general election with Denton County for May 3 to fill Council Places 2 and 3

The City Council of Corinth approved an ordinance calling a joint general election with Denton County on Saturday, May 3, 2025, to elect council members for Place 2 and Place 3 and authorized the city manager to execute the documents necessary to effect the call.

City staff member Gambo described the measure as “the required ordinance” to call the election for May 3 and answered council members’ questions before the council took action. An unnamed council member moved to approve the ordinance; a second was made and the council voted unanimously to adopt it. The motion authorizes the city manager to execute any documents needed to carry out the ordinance.

The ordinance places the city’s municipal election on the county’s joint general election ballot and specifies the offices to be filled as Council Place 2 and Council Place 3. The council’s action followed the approval of the consent agenda, which council members also adopted unanimously earlier in the meeting.

During the citizens comment period preceding the vote, resident Diane Beck addressed the council. Beck criticized local police and government practices and recounted a personal incident involving local officers; she emphasized, “I speak the truth.” Those remarks were made during the public comment portion of the agenda; the council did not act on items raised during that period.

At the close of the meeting the council had no additional comments or future-agenda items from council members that required immediate action. The ordinance assigns authority to the city manager to finalize election-related documents; specific details about candidate filing deadlines, ballot procedures or the number of registered voters affected were not specified in the meeting record.
