Summary
At a March 17 special meeting, council members reviewed redlines to ordinance chapters 31–35 covering municipal court, personnel, boards/commissions and public safety to align local code with state mandates and accreditation standards; staff will send the package to the city attorney for formal drafting.
Gun Barrel City held a special City Council meeting on March 17, 2026, to review proposed revisions to ordinance chapters 31 through 35.
City Manager Dr. Smith told the council the ordinance review committee spent roughly a year meeting twice a month to prepare redlines and that staff combined committee and staff notes into the draft under consideration.
