The Ennis City Commission voted on multiple agenda items at its June 17 meeting. Summary of formal outcomes (voice votes unless otherwise noted):

- F1 — Tourism strategic plan: Adopted. Staff described a five‑year plan funded by hotel occupancy tax, with early marketing items already completed.
- F2 — Hollow Subdivision first amendment: Adopted with staff edits to replace 4‑foot sidewalk language with a 5‑foot minimum in the preamble and to strike the first reference to Sleepy Hollow Road in section 1.05 (commissioners intended the roadway to be reopened before issuing additional certificates of occupancy). The amendment also corrects the developer name to Lackland Hollow Development LLC.
- F3 — Emergency sewer repair: Ratified contract with Raymar Construction LLC for an 8‑inch clay main repair at 401 Eastland Passes Street in the amount of $93,477.80; staff described extensive pipe deterioration and a large void under a nearby playground and recommended follow‑on engineering.
- F4 — TxDOT corridor resolution: Approved a resolution of support for TxDOT’s Kaufman Street (Coffman Corridor Gateway) green ribbon / Highway Safety Improvement Program application; staff noted designs are ~60% complete and sidewalk funding remains a coordination item with TxDOT.
- F5 — Arts Commission appointments: Confirmed Madeline Clemens, Jeremy Simmons, and Lisa Schreiner for terms expiring Jan. 31, 2027.
- F6 — Crime Control & Prevention District appointment: Appointed Commissioner Fockenbach to the district board.
