Summary
The Denison City Council unanimously adopted Resolution #2024-66 to vacate an alley, approved Resolution #2024-67 updating the employee handbook, and approved a series of airport financial reports and agreements at its Dec. 3 meeting.
Denison City Council members voted unanimously Dec. 3 to vacate a north–south alley in Block 32 and to adopt an updated employee handbook, while also approving a bundle of airport-related financial reports and agreements.
At a public hearing on the alley vacation, Mayor Soseman said there were no written or oral objections and closed the hearing. The council then adopted Resolution #2024-66 to vacate and convey the alleyway by motion of Zupp-Smith, seconded by Curnyn; the motion carried unanimously.
