Subdivisions and plats - Marcus Subdivision replat (Agenda items 10–11): The council approved a replat to divide a 20,000-square-foot property into two 10,000-square-foot lots at Valle Lindo Drive.

The motion passed on voice vote.
Opioid settlement participation - Kroger opioid settlement (Agenda item 16): The council authorized the city to participate in the Kroger opioid settlement administered through the Texas Attorney General’s office and authorized the city manager or designee to execute required forms.
