Council approves revised development agreement for Chalk Hill Ranch, adjourns early over incoming storm

An unidentified council member (identified in the record as Speaker 3) moved and secured approval for a revised development agreement with CHV Liberty Hill 29, Property Owner LLC, a proposal tied to the Chalk Hill Ranch development. "I move to approve the agreement with the changes as discussed and authorize the city manager to sign the revised agreement," the member said. An unidentified second (Speaker 4) seconded the motion; the council voted 6-0 in favor.

The council had first announced it would go into executive session at 6:01 p.m. under Texas Government Code section 551.071 for attorney consultation about the proposed development agreement. Elaine read the executive session notice aloud, saying the item concerned "proposed development agreement, CHV Liberty Hill 29, Property Owner LLC, concerning Chalk Hill Ranch development," and that the item had been discussed at the council's March 26, 2025 meeting. The record shows the council reconvened at 6:21 p.m. and immediately took the approval vote.

Shortly after the approval, council members and staff noted an inbound severe storm and travel concerns for people living far from the meeting site. An unidentified speaker (Speaker 4) moved "to adjourn the meeting due to inclement weather that's inbound." The motion was seconded and passed 6-0; the council said there were no pressing items on the agenda that could not wait.

The actions recorded in the meeting minutes are procedural and limited: the council entered executive session under the cited state statute for legal consultation; upon return, it approved the revised agreement and authorized the city manager to sign; then it adjourned early for safety reasons. The transcript does not contain the text of the revised agreement, details of the changes discussed in executive session, nor the names of individual council members making or seconding the motions beyond the record's numeric speaker identifiers.
