Bandera council formalizes interim administrator’s authority with ordinance 456
Summary
The City of Bandera council voted 5‑0 to approve ordinance 456, amending the powers and duties of the city administrator and city treasurer to formalize reporting lines and signatory redundancy while retaining council oversight; council members said the change addresses legal and optics concerns and can be reversed later if needed.
The City of Bandera council approved Ordinance 456 to amend the city code governing the powers and duties of the city administrator and the city treasurer.
Proponents said the ordinance updates the code so that interim administrative reporting and financial signatory authority are explicit and legally defensible. Council members said the change is largely housekeeping that restores or clarifies earlier practice, provides redundancy for signing checks and helps address optics and labor‑law concerns while the city has an interim administrator. Members noted the ordinance can be amended later if circumstances change.
A motion to approve Ordinance 456 was made by Councilwoman Lynn Palmer and seconded by Councilman Jeff Flowers. The council voted 5‑0 to adopt the ordinance.
