Votes at a glance: council approves generator contract, fee changes, zoning and water interconnect
Summary
The Henderson City Council approved several routine and project-specific measures, including awarding a hazard-mitigation grant generator contract, updating the master fee schedule for event security, adopting a zoning change by second reading, approving two minor-plats, and authorizing an emergency water interconnect agreement with Jacobs Water.
The Henderson City Council approved a series of motions that included procurement, land-use approvals and interlocal agreements.
Award of grant-funded generator: The council approved awarding the 2022 hazard mitigation grant contract for a generator to be located at 300 West Main Street to Lone Star Global of Henderson, identified in the record as the low bidder and under the project budget. Stokes Engineering representative Steve Wick told the council the project received seven bids and recommended Lone Star Global. A motion to award the contract carried by voice vote.
Master fee schedule: Council approved a resolution updating the master fee schedule to raise the security fee for alcohol-related events from $35 per hour to $50 per hour per officer, effective immediately upon adoption. Staff described the change as aligning fees with overtime costs for the Henderson Police Department; the motion passed by voice vote.
Zoning and minor plats: The council completed a second reading of an ordinance changing zoning on Hubbard Drive from CC-2 (commercial) to R-2 (residential) and carried the ordinance. The council also approved two minor-plat/lot-combination applications: Wallace Woods’ consolidation of Lots 12 and 13 of Block 402 at 613 Parkview (to meet setback requirements for a manufactured/mobile home permitted in the R-4 district) and Ricky Gibson’s combining of adjacent lots at 707 South Marshall (to allow construction of a carport while meeting setbacks).
Other approvals: Council amended Resolution 2023-05-02 (changing the term "shall" to "may") and renumbered it to 2025-05-028; carried a second-reading ordinance cancelling the November election and declaring unopposed applicants as council members for District 14 and District 5; authorized a contract with McKinley Golden Firm to develop a rendering for Heritage Square and sign the architect contract; and approved an interlocal emergency-water interconnect contract with Jacobs Water Supply after staff said the utility’s board reviewed and supported the agreement.
Consent agenda and proclamations: The consent agenda was approved without items moved to regular session. The mayor presented proclamations recognizing the Henderson Rotary Club and declaring November as hospice, palliative care and home health care month.
