Burkburnett commissioners approve rezoning, contracts and policy updates; all motions pass unanimously
Summary
At its December meeting the Burkburnett Board of Commissioners approved a rezoning of roughly half a 2.12‑acre parcel at 446 West 3rd Street, appointed four library board members, authorized a TIP 411 tip system contract, adopted revised personnel policies and an employee retention plan, approved modest budget amendments and awarded an IT managed‑services contract. All recorded votes were unanimous.
The Burkburnett Board of Commissioners unanimously approved multiple agenda items at its December meeting, including a rezoning, appointments, contract awards and policy updates.
The board approved planning & zoning case 2025‑31 to rezone approximately 1.06 acres (the northern half) of a 2.12‑acre parcel commonly known as 446 West 3rd Street from single‑family residential (SF6) to commercial business (CB), with the southern half to remain SF6 contingent on the sale and filing of a replat. The public hearing produced one reported citizen concern focused on keeping the southern half residential. A motion to approve the partial rezoning passed unanimously.
Commissioners also approved four library board appointments—Carl English, Patricia Kenny, Carl Law and Susan Mitchell—after the library board recommended the candidates.
On contracts and procurement, the commission approved a $6,600 purchase and service contract for the TIP 411 anonymous‑tip platform to be paid from opioid grant funds and authorized a one‑year hybrid IT managed‑services award (co‑managed model) to the staff recommendation for the RFP. The meeting record shows discussion about contract duration for the TIP 411 service (the agenda listed two years, the recommended contract was described as 30 months) before the motion carried unanimously.
In personnel matters the board adopted Resolution 792, accepting a revised personnel policy handbook that updates leave accruals, sick‑leave caps, new leave types, compensation sections and social media/cybersecurity provisions. The board also adopted Resolution 793, a three‑year phased employee retention policy intended to restore certain vacation accrual discrepancies for employees hired before Jan. 1, 2021; staff said 22 of roughly 70 employees would be affected.
The commission approved Ordinance 1105 amending FY2026 budget allocations across the tax increment financing fund, capital improvements fund and water/wastewater fund, and authorized the staff‑recommended adjustments. Staff discussed line items including a water line project along I‑44, a temporary wasting line at the water treatment plant and a down payment on a skid steer.
All motions recorded in the meeting minutes carried unanimously.
