Procedural notes
- Several agenda items prompted extended discussion and in one case (I‑2) the council entered executive session under Texas Government Code §551.071 to consult with attorneys before tabling the item.
- Where the council tabled items, staff was asked to provide more detailed materials and to include public‑engagement steps in materials returned to the Nov. 10 council packet.
No other ordinance adoptions or contract awards were approved at the Oct. 27 meeting; the items that would authorize design and construction work (notably the KSA scope) were tabled for the Nov. 10 packet so the council can review a formal contract and associated cost detail before taking action.
