Council authorizes city attorney to serve notice of termination to Sapphire Bay developer
Summary
Following an executive session on development agreements, the Rowlett City Council unanimously authorized the city attorney to prepare and serve notice of uncured default and termination to Sapphire Bay Land Holdings for alleged contract defaults.
After a closed executive session on Jan. 20 concerning development agreements with Sapphire Bay Land Holdings I LLC, the Rowlett City Council returned to open session and unanimously authorized the city attorney to prepare and serve a notice of uncured default and notice of termination of the Sapphire Bay development agreements.
Councilmember Gibbs moved for the city attorney to prepare and serve the notices; his motion was seconded and carried unanimously. The council did not discuss contract specifics in open session and cited the Texas Government Code authority for attorney consultation during the executive session. Staff indicated the action directed the city attorney to proceed with the next legal steps; no further open-session particulars were provided during the meeting.
What happens next: the city attorney will prepare and serve the notice of uncured default/termination; further public updates will follow as permitted under legal counsel and after any required notices are delivered.
