McKinney council approves consent agenda, notes police academy graduates and announces parks hiring fair
Summary
Council approved routine consent items, heard brief updates on community events and a 14‑person police academy graduation, and staff announced a Parks & Recreation hiring fair and a strategic goal‑setting workshop ahead of the budget cycle.
The McKinney City Council approved its consent agenda and used the remainder of the meeting for council comments and staff announcements.
The consent agenda (items 26‑0111 through 26‑0118) was approved without discussion. Council members then traded brief remarks: one member recounted participating in the Barkus Parade; another summarized a Chamber business update that included reports on Craig Ranch and local projects; and one council member highlighted a joint meeting with McKinney ISD and a Black History Month event featuring longtime community leaders.
A council member noted he attended the police academy graduation and said 14 officers graduated, calling it the largest class the department has held. "We had 14 graduates who are new to our McKinney Police Department, which is the largest academy class we've ever had here," he said, praising Chief Ellenberg and the department.
City staff announced Parks and Recreation will host a summer hiring fair on Saturday, March 7 (8 a.m. to 1 p.m.) at McKinney City Hall and reminded residents that seasonal and full‑day camps are available for registration on the city's website. Staff also said the council will hold a strategic goal‑setting workshop on the coming Friday to inform preparation of the budget and measurable objectives for adoption in May.
There was no public comment on non‑agenda matters, and the council adjourned at 6:18 p.m.
