City of Bandera council authorizes staff to pursue land agreements for wastewater treatment plant

An unidentified council member moved that "Tony can take the necessary action to meet with the landowner's attorney and our attorney to facilitate land agreements" for a potential wastewater treatment plant acquisition. The motion was seconded and approved 4-0 during the council's reconvened open session.

The motion — introduced immediately after the council returned from executive session — authorized staff to pursue negotiations with the landowner and the city's legal counsel. The council did not disclose a purchase price, parcel identification, or a date for a subsequent vote; those details were not specified in the discussion.

Unidentified Speaker 2 moved the authorization and Unidentified Speaker 1 seconded it. The presiding speaker called for discussion, none was recorded, and the council voted "4 in favor, none opposed." The motion was recorded as passed.

According to the motion language, the next steps are procedural: City staff (referred to in the motion as "Tony") is to meet with attorneys to facilitate land agreements tied to the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) acquisition discussions. The record does not show further direction, budget allocations, or a timeline for completing negotiations.

The item was introduced as part of actions arising from an earlier executive session and passed without additional public comment at the time.

The council moved on to other business after recording the vote.
