Council approves canceling two late-December meetings and calls executive session under Texas Open Meetings Act

The Hondo City Council voted to cancel two upcoming regular meetings and announced it would convene an executive session under the Texas Open Meetings Act.

The presiding officer introduced item 9 and opened discussion on amending or canceling future council meeting dates. After discussion, council moved to cancel the Dec. 23 meeting. The presiding officer recorded a motion and stated the motion was seconded by Mister Williams with a mover referenced as Mister Eduarte; the presiding officer called for a vote and stated "Motion carries." Council later confirmed cancellation of the Nov. 25 meeting as well, while noting the council can call a special meeting if urgent matters arise.

The presiding officer then announced an executive session under the Texas Open Meetings Act for consultation on hiring and deliberation about real property, reading statute references aloud and stating the council would convene at 6:17 and return shortly. The transcript records the announcement and planned timing but does not include the executive session deliberations or any final actions taken in closed session.

The council took no recorded formal action on substantive policy items during the portions of the meeting reflected in the transcript beyond the meeting-date cancellations and the executive-session announcement. The council indicated it will reconvene as needed and can call special meetings if urgent matters occur between scheduled dates.
