Granbury council accepts 2026 Charter Review Commission report after no recommended amendments

The Granbury City Council voted unanimously to accept the 2026 Charter Review Commission report after the commission reported it found no legal updates or recommended amendments.

The city attorney told the council the commission, convened per the city charter, met several times from April through June to review each section of the charter. “We met several times from April through June, went through each of the sections of the charter and ultimately, found no legal requirements to update,” the city attorney said, and added that the commission members likewise found nothing they believed needed amendment at this time.

Under the charter, a council‑approved amendment would be drafted into a ballot proposition for voter consideration; the city attorney reminded members that any changes the council approves would be placed on the November ballot for citizens to decide. With no proposed changes from council members after review, the mayor called for a motion to accept the report.

A motion to accept the 2026 Charter Review Commission report was made and seconded (the transcript records the second as made by “Mister Eller”). The council voted to accept the report by a 5‑0 tally, which the mayor said formally discharges the commission and keeps the city in compliance until the next charter review in four years.

After the vote, the mayor publicly thanked the commission for its work and named the members: John Grace (chair), Tony Mobley (vice chair), Steve Fortner, Ronnie Hurd, Terry Johnson, Terry Lubin, Paul Parker and Kevin Watson, noting the review spanned multiple meetings.

The council took no amendments or further action on the charter at this meeting; the commission’s report was accepted as presented.
