The Weatherford City Council took a suite of routine actions following public hearings and staff presentations.
Zoning and development - Ordinance 02026-15 (Matthew Meadows Estates, ~21.13 acres on Old Dicey Road) was approved after a public hearing and public comment (developer and resident drainage concerns). - Ordinance 02026-16 (rezoning of 1.71 acres at 106 Woodland Trail) was unanimously adopted after staff said the change aligns with the general plan. - Ordinance 02026-18 (Eureka Trails PD amendment for seven lots within an existing subdivision to allow front-entry garages and additional architectural standards) was approved; recorded vote was three yeas and one nay. - Ordinance 02026-17 (rezoning 0.2 acre at 210 W. Water St. from CBD to CN for renovation) was adopted.
Grants and procurement - Facade improvement grant approved for 111 West Church Street: requested city support $18,642.50 (50% match) toward a $47,285 project that will house the nationally syndicated Our American Stories program and include community engagement components. - Facade improvement grant approved for 202 West Oak Street: requested city support $5,597 toward an approximately $21,000 restoration to support the historical commission. - General services contract (bid 2026-000009) awarded to I and E Services Inc. for mowing and landscaping of city properties in the amount of $299,100; staff cited performance issues with the prior contractor as rationale for the change.
Appointments - Council confirmed appointments and liaison assignments to city boards and commissions and selected Zach Smith as mayor pro tem for the coming year.
Motions and voting notes - Approval of minutes (May 12, 2026): motion by Matt Tiscus, second by Luke Williams; ayes have it. - Consent items 7a—7c approved as a block (motion by Luke Williams; second by Matt Tiscus). - Multiple zoning ordinances were approved as noted above; specific movers and seconders were recorded in the proceedings (see meeting minutes for full vote roll call).
Why it matters: The package of approvals includes routine governance actions (appointments), targeted downtown investments (facade grants) intended to support economic activity and a procurement decision to ensure maintenance of city property.
Next steps: Projects receiving facade grants will proceed per the Weatherford Economic Development Board and staff oversight; the mowing contractor's work will begin upon contract execution.
