Votes at a glance: McGregor council approves minutes, event closure, driveway participation and land sale
Summary
At its April 13 meeting the McGregor City Council approved routine minutes, a temporary downtown road closure for a First Friday event, a city contribution toward a new driveway at 2055 S. Main St., and the sale of a six-acre parcel to Allied at $15,000 per acre. A closed session was also held under Texas Government Code provisions.
The McGregor City Council recorded several approvals April 13 during its regular meeting. The following actions were taken by voice vote after motions and seconds:
Approve minutes: The council approved the minutes of the March 9, 2026 meeting (consent agenda). Motion made and seconded; motion carried by voice vote.
First Friday road closure: The council approved a request from McGregor Event to temporarily close the intersection of 4th Street and Madison Avenue adjacent to the EMS building for First Friday Downtown McGregor in June 2026. The agenda listed the closure as 4:30–10:00 p.m., but the motion as read referenced up to 10:30 p.m.; the transcript contains inconsistent end times.
Driveway participation (Romark): After closed session the council approved participation with Romark to install a new driveway serving the southern portion of 2055 S. Main St. (the former Ferguson building). Staff recommended the city pay a share described in the meeting as "a little over $93,000." The transcript shows inconsistent numeric renderings when the motion was read; the staff figure of roughly $93,000 is the clearest amount in the record.
Sale to Allied: The council approved the sale of parcel one (described in discussion as a six-acre piece) under a first amendment to a development agreement with Allied at $15,000 per acre.
Financials and closed session: City staff presented financial statements as of Feb. 28, 2026; the council then met in closed session under Texas Government Code sections 551.071 (legal) and 551.087 (economic development) and returned to open session to take the driveway and land-sale actions. The meeting adjourned at 8:26 p.m.
Where the transcript recorded inconsistent or unclear numeric language (for example, some dollar and quantity figures), this summary notes the clearest figures stated in the meeting record and flags the lines that were garbled in the spoken record.
