Council approves budget amendment, tank repainting contract, campaign-treasurer rule and personnel agreement amendments
Summary
The Highland Village City Council approved a set of consent items including a budget amendment and a resolution awarding a repainting contract, and approved personnel agreement amendments after closed-session deliberations, all by unanimous votes.
The Highland Village City Council approved multiple agenda items and personnel actions at its April meeting.

Items moved to and adopted on consent included minutes from the April 8 regular meeting and an ordinance adopting amendments to the fiscal year 2024–25 budget (ordinance number read on the agenda as “Ordinance 2025-1325”); the council also approved Resolution 2025-3184 authorizing a contract with 512 Painting and Remodeling LLC for the Lake Vista ground storage tank repainting project (contract amount not specified in the meeting record) and advanced an ordinance amending the city code to allow termination of campaign-treasurer appointments for inactive candidates or committees (ordinance number read on the agenda as “Ordinance 2025-1324”; this was read as the first of two readings).

The motion carried 7-0. - To authorize the mayor to negotiate and sign an amendment to the city secretary’s employment agreement to increase the city contribution to the city secretary’s 401(a) account to $14,500 effective Oct. 1, 2025. That motion carried 7-0.
