City council swears in two members, names Keith Rhoden mayor pro tem and approves a 50 mph zone and $7 million in certificates
Summary
At its June 4 meeting, the council swore in two reelected members, named Keith Rhoden mayor pro tem, approved an ordinance establishing a 50 mph speed zone on Ralphair Road, approved a final plat for the Posttop development, and authorized certificates of obligation up to $7 million for water and wastewater projects.
A city staff member summarized actions taken by the City Council at its June 4 meeting, saying the council swore in two reelected members and selected Keith Rhoden as mayor pro tem.
The council approved an ordinance making the speed limit on Ralphair Road 50 mph within city limits so that local police may enforce the limit. The staff member said the Texas Department of Transportation carried out a traffic study after a nearby bridge project and recommended the 50 mph limit for the stretch from Ammon Road south to Interstate 10.
Council members also approved the final plat for the Posttop development, a phase-one project on the north end of town across from Stone Creek Ranch along Ammon Road; the staff member said construction is expected to begin about 30 to 60 days after final paperwork is completed.
The council authorized the city to issue certificates of obligation of up to $7 million to cover water and wastewater projects. The staff member said each individual project will return to council for separate approval before any certificates are issued for that project.
