Cleburne council adopts consent agenda including economic development agreements and easements for Amazon site

The Cleburne City Council unanimously approved its consent agenda at the Jan. 29 meeting, clearing minutes, economic development agreements, annual racial‑profiling report acceptance, temporary construction easements connected to a planned Amazon development, and authorization to submit a grant application related to the upcoming general election.

City staff read consent items into the record. Among the entries were resolutions described in the minutes as a "$3.80 economic development agreement" with Gary Decker for property at 406 Featherston Street under the Cleburne Pride Home Improvement incentive program and a similarly worded resolution with Dan DBA The Garden Group LLC for 205 South Main Street under a facade improvement matching incentive program. The public record reproduces those figures as read during roll call; the numerical phrasing in the transcript appears unclear and is reported here exactly as recorded.

Staff also presented resolutions to accept the annual racial‑profiling reports for the police department, city marshal’s office and fire marshal’s office, and two temporary construction easements from property owners tied to roadway improvements on Industrial Boulevard associated with an Amazon development. The council approved the entire consent package without pulling any items for separate discussion.

The mayor and council thanked Julie Hammond, a candidate who introduced herself earlier in the meeting, and noted the next council meeting will include a SARS presentation postponed from this session because the recipient could not attend.

All consent items were approved by unanimous voice vote; the public minutes do not list individual roll‑call tallies.
