Everman council approves consent agenda, issues two proclamations; nonprofit requests pop‑up fee waiver

The Everman City Council unanimously approved the consent agenda, accepting regular meeting minutes from April 14, 2026, and the April 17 budget workshop minutes. The roll call recorded affirmative votes from Place 1 through Place 6 and the mayor.

The council read two proclamations recognizing National Public Works Week (May 17–23, 2026) and National Police Week (May 10–16, 2026). The proclamations praised public works and law enforcement personnel for their service and encouraged citizens to recognize those employees.

During public comment Cynthia Oliver, who said she represents Covered in Faith Ministries, asked the council to allow a small pop‑up event on June 19 with about 10–15 booths and modest food service and requested that city fees be waived or reduced for her nonprofit. Staff said they would follow up with Ms. Oliver to discuss logistics and fees.

The council opened a public hearing for testimony on proposed 2024–25 budget amendments associated with a pre‑audit report prepared by staff (Susan provided the underlying material). Staff said no citizens had signed up to speak; staff reviewed the pre‑audit materials for council consideration.

The meeting moved on to consider Ordinance No. 850 to establish a Parks & Recreation Commission; staff presented details and a motion was made and seconded but the transcript ends before a recorded vote. Staff also said an agenda error prevented appointments to the commission that night and that a special meeting would be called to make appointments.

The council did not record further votes on the ordinance in the provided transcript segments.
