Council approves consent agenda, engineering reports, cemetery front fence and extends city administrator contract

The council approved routine items on the consent agenda and accepted monthly engineering and planning reports from AGCM, Dunaway and city planning staff. AGCM reported progress on a construction project and a near-term target for substantial completion; Dunaway updated council on sewer and meter-vault improvements and a TCEQ discharge permit timeline.

Council approved a not-to-exceed $30,000 budget to have Smith Fencing (Farmersville) install a decorative front‑line wrought‑iron fence for the Josephine Cemetery and directed staff to add name plates for family members from remaining funds as appropriate. Budget adjustments and rollovers for Greenville Avenue and public-safety building purchase orders were approved during the midyear amendments discussion.

During executive session the council discussed legal and personnel matters and then reconvened. Council formed a subcommittee to work with the MUD board and later voted to extend the city administrator’s contract for two years with specified separation provisions (motion passed with one abstention). Council also asked staff to prepare onboarding materials and a code‑of‑conduct item for a future meeting to help align new council members on delegated duties and administrative authority.

What happens next: Staff will report back on pavement/Greenville project timing and procurement, implement the cemetery front fence procurement within the approved budget, finalize budget amendments in financial systems and provide a record of delegated administrative duties for new council members.
