Benbrook EDC approves strategic plan, ratifies April minutes in brief meeting

The Benbrook Economic Development Corporation approved its strategic plan and ratified the minutes from the April 21, 2025, regular meeting at its May 19, 2025, regular board meeting, President Kent Williams said. The board then convened a closed executive session under Texas open‑meetings law and returned to open session with no public action reported.

The board voted to approve the minutes from the April 21 regular meeting after a motion by board member Lindsey and a second from another board member. The motion carried; no roll‑call tally was recorded in the public transcript.

Board member Moulton Melton moved to approve the Benbrook Economic Development Corporation strategic plan “as presented.” Another board member seconded the motion, and President Kent Williams said the motion passed.

Following the public votes, Williams announced the board would move into a closed executive session “pursuant to the provisions of the open meeting law, Chapter 551, Texas Government Code,” citing section 551.072 for deliberations about real property and section 551.087 for economic development negotiations. The board returned to open session at 7:24 p.m.; Williams said no action was required at that time.

The approvals were the meeting’s only recorded formal actions. The meeting included a director’s financial report and lasted roughly 24 minutes from the start of the public record to adjournment.
