Georgetown council authorizes three property actions after executive session
Summary
Council approved purchases of two Williams Drive tracts and a 29.156-acre Serenado Drive tract for airport improvements, authorized the city manager to negotiate terms, and approved issuing a notice of default against Secra Inc. for the Austin Avenue rehabilitation project.
Mayor called the meeting to order and the council first announced actions taken in executive session. Councilmember Pitts moved to authorize the City of Georgetown to acquire a 2.88-acre tract and a 3.443-acre tract commonly known as 5601 and 5631 Williams Drive and to authorize the city manager to negotiate and execute documents to complete the acquisition. The motion was seconded and approved.
Pitts also moved to authorize purchase of a 29.156‑acre tract in the David Wright survey (commonly known as 350 Serenado Drive) as part of the airport improvement program and to authorize the city manager to negotiate and execute acquisition documents. That motion likewise passed.
Finally, Pitts moved to authorize issuance of a notice of default and related notices, including repair methods, regarding alleged defective work by Secra Inc. on the Austin Avenue rehabilitation project. The council approved the motion.
The meeting record shows each of these items was presented as actions out of executive session and approved on voice vote; the transcript records no roll-call tallies or individual vote names for these motions. The motions direct staff to proceed with negotiations and, in the Secra Inc. item, to issue default notices as a step toward remedying alleged defective work.
