Giddings City Council lists canvass of May 2 election returns; oaths and certificates to be administered

The Giddings City Council agenda for its May 11, 2026 regular meeting lists two resolutions to canvass election returns from the May 2 elections and plans to administer oaths of office to newly elected officials.

Resolution No. 627‑2026 is described in the agenda as the canvass and declaration of results for the May 2, 2026 General Election. Resolution No. 628‑2026 is listed as the canvass of the Special Election on the same date for proposed city charter amendments (Propositions A through K). The agenda text does not include vote totals, declared winners, or any staff report summarizing the returns; the council packet therefore does not disclose election outcomes or whether the canvass will alter any previously posted results.

City Secretary Andrea Ray is identified in the agenda certification as having posted the meeting notice; the packet also indicates the council will administer oaths and issue certificates to the mayor and two elected officials as a follow‑up to the canvass. The agenda item to appoint a Mayor Pro‑Tem for the 2026–2027 term is listed separately and does not name a nominee.

Because the agenda contains only the proposed resolutions and the procedural plan to administer oaths, the council’s official canvass and any formal declarations remain to be recorded in the minutes or in a later public filing. The agenda does not state whether council members will take additional actions contingent on the canvass, such as resolving contests or certifying ballot language for the charter propositions.

The council meeting is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. May 11, 2026 at City Council Chambers, 118 E. Richmond St., Giddings. Any formal results, proclamations of winners or certified returns would be reflected in the official minutes or a separate canvass statement after the council acts.
