The Pampa City Commission voted on a slate of routine and project items at its regular meeting. Commissioners approved the December minutes and a list of November 2025 disbursements, adopted Ordinance No. 18-29 renewing a franchise with Atmos Energy Corporation for gas pipeline operations, awarded the downtown revitalization sidewalk-repair bid to Carter Sand & Gravel, and authorized the city manager to enter an interlocal agreement with Angelo State University for regional cybersecurity monitoring. The commission also approved two economic-development measures presented by the Pampa Economic Development Corporation: a support package for High Plains Practice Management and a conditional support framework for Sarah West LLC.

The motion to adopt Ordinance No. 18-29, which grants Atmos Energy a franchise to construct, maintain and operate gas pipelines and related equipment in the City of Pampa, passed on second and final reading after the mayor read the ordinance and commissioners voiced assent. The commission awarded the downtown sidewalk-repair work as part of an existing grant package to address severely deteriorated curb-and-gutter in a targeted 200-foot section of downtown. Staff said the work uses remaining funds from the grant-construction allocation.

On cybersecurity, the commission authorized the city manager to join the Regional Security Operations Center operated by Angelo State University (ARSOF). Kevin Webb, the city’s IT representative, described the center as a state-funded resource providing endpoint detection and response (EDR) monitoring and noted the city will onboard the service while retaining its current paid EDR as a backup during transition.

The Pampa Economic Development Corporation asked the commission to approve support items for two projects. Commissioners approved a PEDC support package of up to $75,000 for High Plains Practice Management to establish a clinic at 1701 Coffee; board materials and the PEDC public hearing were cited as completed. Commissioners also approved on first reading a conditional three-part support framework for Sarah West LLC at the Pampa Energy Center, totaling up to $400,000 in three rounds tied to hiring and performance milestones. Ryan Bradley of the PEDC said the applicant plans to hire 10 full-time employees in year one and scale to roughly 25–50 over time, and PEC facility upgrades of up to $500,000 were reported by staff.

All motions referenced above were moved, seconded and carried on voice votes without recorded roll-call tallies in the meeting transcript. The commission recessed for an executive session on attorney consultation and economic development and reconvened before taking the economic-development votes.
