Votes at a glance: Pampa commission approves budget changes, ETJ removal, street closure on first reading and authorizes property-cleanup contract
Summary
The Pampa City Commission approved minutes and several items including Ordinance 1832 (budget amendments), Ordinance 1833 (ETJ removal), the Crimo 2 MOU, the contract with Texas Communities Group, and Ordinance 1834 on first reading; all items passed on voice votes with no roll-call tallies recorded in the transcript.
The Pampa City Commission recorded the following actions during the meeting.
- Minutes: The commission approved the minutes of the April 27, 2026 regular meeting after a motion and second (voice vote).
- Excused absences: The commission voted to excuse the April 27, 2026 absences of Mayor Borger and Commissioner Reid (voice vote).
- Ordinance 1832 (second and final reading): Adopted. The ordinance amends revenues and appropriations for fiscal year Oct. 1, 2025 through Sept. 30, 2026, to record incoming grants and donations (including downtown revitalization, an EDC grant, MK Brown donations and a fully funded police ballistic vest grant) and to appropriate funds for housing development equipment, police equipment (notably a thermal-capable drone) and other restricted-project closeouts.
- Ordinance 1833 (second and final reading): Adopted. The ordinance removes a small parcel from the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) at the landowner's petition; staff noted the 45-day petition rule and that removal does not change prospects for water/sewer service or voluntary annexation.
- Canadian River Municipal Water Authority MOU: Approved. The commission authorized participation in a nonbinding MOU for planning and coordination of a proposed second transmission/well project (referred to in the meeting as "Crimo 2"/"Crimwell 2"). Staff and commissioners cited long-term timelines and rising cost estimates.
- Texas Communities Group contract: Authorized. The city manager was authorized to enter a service agreement with Texas Communities Group LLC to pursue grouped tax-warrant suits and market struck-off properties; staff said a pilot group of roughly 30 parcels per suit is the goal and cited about 250 parcels on the initial list.
- Ordinance 1834 (first reading): Approved on first reading. The ordinance would abandon a never-developed section of West Somerville Street in the Country Garden Estates subdivision; owners adjacent to the vacated street would need to replat or negotiate transfers to change property boundaries.
Votes: All actions were recorded as voice votes in the transcript; no roll-call tallies or names of movers/seconders are recorded in the transcript.
