Votes at a glance: Groves council approves replat, range MOU and invoice list; tables cancer-screening deal
Summary
At its Feb. 23 meeting the Groves City Council approved minutes, a replat for 4,000 Harrison Avenue, a memorandum of understanding for range use with Jefferson County and the invoice list; it voted to table a professional services agreement with Frontline Mobile Health for further negotiations.
The Groves City Council took several formal actions at its Feb. 23 meeting in Groves City Council Chamber.
Minutes and procedural approvals: The council approved the minutes of its Feb. 9, 2026 meeting on a roll-call vote. (Recorded voting members: Mayor Pro Tim; Council Members Holmes, McAdams and Shallet; motion passed.)
Agreement tabled: The council considered a proposed professional services agreement with Frontline Mobile Health to provide cancer screenings for fire department personnel. Staff recommended additional negotiations; the council moved, seconded and voted to table the item so staff can continue negotiations.
Replat approved: The council approved a replat of 4,000 Harrison Avenue (legal description in the meeting record: tracts 1-A, 1-B, 2-A and 2-B; approximately 0.8243 acres; replat of parts of lots 1–3, Block 32, Groves subdivision; JCAD property ID 81970). A council member confirmed the parcel will be divided into four lots and staff said all four meet minimum lot-size and utility requirements. The motion passed by roll call.
Interlocal MOU approved: The council approved a memorandum of understanding between Groves PD and the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office for use of the county firearms training range. Staff said no separate Jefferson County dues apply, reservations are typically made weeks in advance, and standard liability and range-master procedures apply. The motion passed on roll call.
Invoices approved: The council approved the Feb. 23 invoice list, which the meeting record lists as 12 items including repairs and parts for city utilities, landfill fees, vehicle leases, raw-water purchases, chlorine, trash/disposal services, software subscriptions and a lift-station pump. The meeting record contains inconsistent numeric formatting for the grand total; the amounts listed in the record should be verified in the official minutes or the accounts-payable packet.
Votes and voting: Roll-call affirmation recorded during the meeting shows consistent "Aye" votes from Mayor Pro Tim and Council Members Holmes, McAdams and Shallet on the items that passed; the record does not show additional dissenting votes on passed items.
Next steps: Staff will continue negotiations on the Frontline Mobile Health agreement and will report back to council when additional details are available.
