KENNEDALE ISD board approves sale of 1.691-acre water-main easement to Arlington

The Kennedale Independent School District board voted unanimously to approve a resolution authorizing the sale of a 1.691-acre water-main easement on district real property at 5451 West Sublet Road to the City of Arlington.

Board member Daryl Owens moved to approve the resolution; Dr. Maria Douglas seconded. The vote was unanimous with all seven members present recorded in favor during roll call earlier in the meeting.

According to board discussion, the item had been discussed at the previous meeting; the resolution gives district leadership authority to negotiate terms of the easement sale with the city. The transcript does not include a final sale price or detailed contract language and records only that the board approved the resolution "as presented." The property parcel and easement size cited in the motion were 1.691 acres.

Following the easement vote the board moved to agenda item five on personnel and went into closed session for training and personnel matters pursuant to Texas Government Code §551.071; the transcript records the closed-session start time as 7:00 p.m. The board later reconvened, reporting it came out of closed session at 9:18 p.m. and re-entered open session at 9:19 p.m., after which a motion to adjourn was made and the meeting ended at 9:19 p.m.

The meeting record references the Texas Open Meetings Act (Texas Government Code Chapter 551) when confirming the meeting notice and again cites section 551.071 for the closed-session authority; the transcript does not disclose details of personnel actions discussed in closed session.
