Clyde council authorizes offer for municipal judge, updates bank signatories and opens project account
Summary
After a closed-session personnel discussion, the council authorized the city administrator to contact Jeff Alley with an employment offer for municipal judge, updated signatories at First Financial Bank and approved a project development checking account for the city's 380 agreement.
Following a closed executive session on personnel, the City Council of the City of Clyde on Dec. 9 authorized the city administrator to contact Mr. Jeff Alley and make an offer for the position of municipal judge.
Council convened in closed session under Texas Government Code §551.074 to discuss the hiring. After returning to open session, Councilmember David Mann moved and Councilmember Jim Rector seconded a motion authorizing the city administrator to contact Mr. Alley and make an offer of employment; the motion carried unanimously.
In related administrative actions, the council voted unanimously to update the city’s signature cards at First Financial Bank to list Stephen Steele (Mayor), David Mann (Mayor Pro Tem), Rodger Brown (City Administrator) and Connie Thornton (City Secretary). The council also unanimously approved opening a dedicated project development checking account at First Financial Bank tied to the city's 380 agreement for development projects.
Why it matters: filling the municipal-judge vacancy completes a key local-court function; updating bank signatories and creating a project account are standard administrative steps tied to banking, contracting and municipal oversight.
Next steps: the city administrator is authorized to extend an offer to Mr. Alley; staff will complete bank paperwork and open the new project development account per council direction.
