Gilmer council approves consent agenda, investment report, appointments and multiple budget amendments
Summary
Council approved the consent agenda, accepted a quarterly investment report, appointed members to several boards and commissions, and adopted multiple budget amendments and a consolidated Master Fee and Rate Schedule.
At its Jan. 27 meeting the Gilmer City Council approved routine business items, accepted a quarterly investment report and made multiple administrative decisions including appointments and budget amendments.
Council approved the consent agenda (Jan. 13 minutes; January expense report; December financials). City Manager Mary Bullock reviewed the quarterly investment report for the period ending Dec. 31, 2025, noting that the Abney Park shade-canopy carryover and planned water-tank refurbishment were affecting account balances; council approved the investment report. The council also adopted Resolution R26-002 to bring the city's investment policy into conformance with the Public Funds Investment Act of Texas.
The council approved appointments to the Airport Advisory Board, Cemetery Board, Condemnation Board and Planning & Zoning Commission as recommended by the mayor. Council approved several budget amendments by ordinance: 26-006 (Abney Park shade canopy carryover, $149,519.45), 26-007 (mower deck purchase, $26,902.39), 26-008 (WWTP catwalk repair, $51,303.15), and 26-009 (Water Tank Structural Repair and Resurfacing Project carryover, $706,375.00). The council also adopted Ordinance 26-010, consolidating city fees into a Master Fee and Rate Schedule.
Most votes on these items were unanimous; the consent agenda passed 5–0 (prior to one councilmember entering) and subsequent votes were recorded as unanimous. Several motions directed staff to implement the approved measures and return with any required follow-up documentation.
