Summary
The Bryan City Council unanimously approved Ordinance No. 59 20 25 to rehire Mark Fischel as city attorney (emergency declaration, $225/hr) and passed Ordinance No. 60 20 25 authorizing year-end fund transfers; votes were taken and motions carried during the Dec. 1 meeting.
At its Dec. 1 meeting the Bryan City Council approved two ordinances without extended debate.
Ordinance No. 59 20 25: The council approved an emergency ordinance to rehire Mark Fischel as city attorney at a rate of $225 per hour, effective Jan. 1, 2026. Council staff described the compensation as a $5 hourly increase; the council voted to suspend the rules and adopted the ordinance under the emergency provision.
Ordinance No. 60 20 25: Councilmember Unidentified Speaker 4 read the ordinance providing for transfer of funds for the month ending Dec. 31, 2025. Council staff described three routine transfers that "wrap up the year" with no substantive program changes. A motion to approve carried.
Both measures were approved by roll-call affirmations during the public meeting.
Separately, the council took up Ordinance No. 61 20 25 (annual appropriations) and approved that measure after discussion; details of that action are covered in a separate report.
