Council authorizes grant application for Yamboree Park fitness area, moves change orders to executive session
Summary
Council authorized the City Manager to apply for a grant for a fitness area at Yamboree Park, heard a construction update that sod and concrete work are nearly complete, and moved all Phase I change order discussions to executive session under Texas Government Code §551.071.
The Gilmer City Council on Feb. 24 approved a recommendation from the Park Advisory Board allowing the City Manager to apply for a grant to install a fitness area at Yamboree Park.
City Manager Mary Bullock told the council that construction at Yamboree Park is nearing completion: sod is being laid for the soccer fields, baseball fields are almost ready for sod, and concrete work is complete. Following that update, the council approved the Park Advisory Board recommendation by unanimous vote (motion by Mayor Pro‑Tem Pete Herrmann, seconded by Councilmember Jerry Webb).
Discussion of all change orders for Yamboree Park Phase I was taken into executive session under Texas Government Code §551.071 for consultation with the city attorney; the council recessed into executive session and did not make a public motion on change orders in open session.
Council did not record public details in open session about the specific change orders or potential cost impacts; the meeting minutes show the council reconvened and adjourned after executive session.
