Votes at a glance: Llano City Council approves event permits, sanitation fee update and facilities repairs
Summary
Council approved a city manager pay increase, multiple event permits, an update to sanitation fees tied to the contractor’s CPI increase, and staircase repairs at City Hall (one recusal recorded). Staff were directed to narrow a utility consulting scope; the item to add video/audio to chambers was left for future bids.
At its March 2 meeting the Llano City Council took multiple routine and operational votes. Key actions:
• City manager pay adjustment: Council approved a $5,000 annual raise for the city manager after executive session (motion by Council member (S7), seconded; voice vote, motion carried).
• Consent agenda: Council approved regular meeting minutes from Feb. 17, 2026.
• Event permits: Council approved a crawfish festival special‑event permit and approved exclusive park use and a fee waiver for the Ladies in Leather motorcycle rally (June dates discussed; fee waiver for tent camping granted).
• Resolution R2026‑11 (sanitation rates): Council approved amending the master fee schedule to pass through the contractor’s CPI increase, which staff described as the vendor’s annual CPI adjustment.
• City Hall staircase repairs and painting (agenda items 4 & 5): Council approved replacement and repair of exterior stair treads and related railing upgrades; one council member recused from the staircase vote due to a personal connection to a contractor. Painting/finishing work was approved separately.
• Utility consulting: Council directed staff to return with a narrower scope and to solicit other consulting firms (voice vote); the narrower approach was described as a 'call and consult' troubleshooting arrangement.
• Video/audio in council chambers: Staff reported vendor bids are forthcoming; council took no action pending proposals.
• Recreation facility use: Council approved use of the regional little‑league facility for a coaches meeting and related events in March and for a regional tournament in June, with discussion of rental rates and nonprofit exceptions.
Motions were taken by roll call where noted or by voice. In most cases the meeting recorded voice votes and council announced "aye"; individual named vote tallies were not recorded in the transcript.
