At the June 17 meeting the council approved an updated groundwater conservation plan, awarded a multi-year audit contract and confirmed an EDC director appointment; staff presented other items that will return for action.
Universal City City Council recorded several formal actions on June 17. Key outcomes recorded in the meeting transcript are below.
• Water conservation: Council adopted the updated Groundwater Conservation Plan (GCP) required by the Texas Water Development Board and incorporating the drought contingency plan. Motion passed (transcript: “Move to approve. Second.”; later “Motion carried.”). No additional vote tallies were recorded in the transcript excerpt.
• Audit services: The council approved a three‑year audit-services agreement (with an optional two‑year extension) following a request for proposals; staff recommended the selected firm based on experience and pricing, and the motion passed (“Motion carried.” in transcript).
• EDC appointment: The council appointed Mark Dunlap to the Universal City Economic Development Corporation (EDC) board for the expired 2024–2026 term; the motion passed with recorded ayes/noes in the transcript and the chair welcomed the appointee.
• Consent agenda: The consent agenda was approved as a single motion; a council member asked for clarification that reconsideration of May 6 minutes would be handled separately on the July 15 agenda and staff confirmed it was not part of the consent approval.
• Town-hall motion: Council authorized a town-hall meeting for resident input on budget priorities and related topics after discussion; the motion was moved, seconded and recorded in the transcript as passed (“Motion passed.”), and the mayor clarified the town hall may be hosted by the council member who will organize it without obligating city staff.
• Guadalupe Appraisal District facility: The appraisal district presented a proposed acquisition and financing plan and council discussion included a motion to approve funding support, but no final roll-call vote or recorded outcome on that item appears in the provided transcript. The district must still secure approvals from member taxing units before proceeding.
