At a glance: minutes approved, truck purchase authorized at Weatherford utility board meeting

The Weatherford Municipal Utility Board approved two formal items during its midday session.

Minutes: The board approved the administrative utility board meeting minutes from Nov. 21, 2024. The chair announced a motion to approve by Ken Davis with a second from Lindsey Hester; the board indicated the minutes passed (no roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript).

Vehicle procurement: On Item 5a the board authorized the purchase of a 2024 Ford F-750 dump truck from Southwest Ford through an interlocal agreement. The chair read the item as a purchase not to exceed $110,000 and referenced an aggregate fiscal-year expenditure figure read in the record as "$157.03 72" (as it appears in the transcript). A motion to approve the purchase was made by Dr. Tom Novak and seconded by Zach Smith; the chair called the vote and the board approved the item (no roll-call tally recorded in the transcript).

Context: Both approvals occurred near the beginning of the regular agenda; subsequent items included the Lake Benbrook pumping reserve annual update and a quarterly electric risk-management report, neither of which required board action at this meeting.

Votes recorded in the meeting transcript did not include a per-member roll-call tally; movers and seconders were announced on the record.
