Henderson council approves consent agenda, bylaws changes, Sourcewell membership and a minor plat
Summary
Council moved several procedural and routine items: rescheduled the March meeting, dropped an agenda item, approved a consent agenda, amended a preschool performance agreement, approved HEDCO and Main Street bylaw changes, authorized Sourcewell membership, and approved a minor plat to combine two lots at 418 Broadway.
The Henderson City Council handled a series of procedural and routine matters and approved several amendments and routine actions during the meeting. Key outcomes:
- The council agreed to reschedule its March 17 meeting to March 24 after Councilmember Searcy moved the change and Councilmember Jackson seconded it.
- The council voted to drop agenda item 3.
- The consent agenda, described by the chair as routine or noncontroversial, passed on a voice vote.
- Item 9: The council approved an amended performance agreement for First Baptist Church Preschool. The presenter said the amendment changes retaining‑wall repair to a method involving rebar and partial removal rather than full replacement, increased the contract price by about $2,200, and added a six‑month extension to allow construction after winter conditions subside; the presenter abstained from the vote, citing prior involvement with the item.
- Item 10: The council approved HEDCO 2026 bylaws amendments that clarify executive/banking language and add language to comply with the Texas state public notice statute on meeting notices.
- Item 12: The council authorized the city to become a Sourcewell member to facilitate procurement for a sewer inspection camera; the presenter said there is no cost to join Sourcewell.
- Item 13: The council approved a minor plat application to combine two lots at 418 Broadway Street into Lot 11A, allowing the Ealy applicants to move forward with plans for a duplex; the Board of Adjustments had previously granted a special exception.
- Item 14: The council approved housekeeping amendments to the Main Street advisory board bylaws, including clarifying ex officio membership, term limits (two consecutive two‑year terms), attendance standards tied to Main Street America accreditation (75% attendance requirement), committee structure, fiscal year alignment, and requiring board approval for expenditures over $500.
The meeting closed after departmental reports produced no requests for deliberation and the council voted to adjourn.
