Votes at a glance
• Consent agenda: Approved (7-0). The council approved routine items by unanimous recorded vote.
• Item A (Madeline): Adopted a resolution of support for the Madeline low‑income housing tax credit application (Roundstone Development; 4125 Ben Ficklin Road) to accompany a TDHCA application. Motion by Larry; second by Karen. Approved (7-0).
• Item B1: Authorized calling and ordering the May general election and authorized the city manager to negotiate and execute an agreement for election services to be administered by Tom Green County Election Administration. Approved (7-0).
• Item B2: Approved calling a bond election for Coliseum improvements in the amount of $41,600,000. Motion to call the election passed (7-0). The council also discussed negotiating a Chapter 380 agreement with the association to operate and maintain the Coliseum and reviewed legal limits on advocacy if the council adopts the ordinance to call the election.
• Item C: First reading and vote on a budget amendment for fiscal year 2024–25 to transfer departmental vacancy savings to the health insurance fund and to record an IRS arbitrage payment related to prior debt (the meeting record shows action to approve the amendment as presented). Approved (7-0).
• Board nominations: Approved several board and commission appointments, including Development Corporation, Planning Commission and Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone appointments. Approved (7-0).
Meeting notes: Several agenda items generated substantive presentations and legal briefings. Bond counsel warned the council and outside promoters that state law restricts use of public funds and city property for political advocacy once a measure is called; the council was advised to coordinate communications carefully. The Madeline support resolution commits only a letter of support; no city funding was pledged in the council action recorded in the meeting.
Recorded motions and votes are summarized from the meeting transcript and in‑meeting motions; where a specific mover or seconder was stated in the record it is shown above. Items that require further administrative steps (negotiating operating agreements, submitting TDHCA materials, election services contracting) were directed to city staff.
