Council names Sam Burke mayor pro tem; schedules executive sessions on legal and economic-development matters
Summary
Council Member Sam Burke was appointed mayor pro tem for a one-year term; the council also announced closed executive sessions under sections 551.071 (legal advice) and 551.087 (economic development) concerning multiple properties and code-compliance matters.
The Corinth City Council appointed Council Member Sam Burke as mayor pro tem for a one-year term after a motion and a second; the motion passed during the same meeting that approved the rezoning ordinance.

After the appointments, the mayor announced that the council would meet in executive session under Texas Open Meetings Act sections 551.071 and 551.087. The 551.071 item was described as "legal advice" relating to case numbers and code compliance agreements for properties at addresses listed on Hundu Lane (1129, 1141, 1149 and 1157). The 551.087 item was described as an economic-development discussion regarding two properties: the 5700 block of I-35 East and the 3200 block of Corinth Parkway.
The meeting record does not include roll-call vote tallies for the appointment, nor does it provide further detail on the legal or economic-development matters that will be considered in closed session. No public testimony on these closed-session items was recorded in the public portion of the meeting.
