Votes at a glance: minutes, proclamations, surplus property, budget item and equipment purchases
Summary
At its meeting, the Denton Town Council approved amended minutes, proclaimed April Public Health Month and National Day of Prayer, approved a budget-related letter and Resolution R24, declared public-works equipment surplus (Resolution R2425-07), and approved purchases for cameras and police radios.
The Denton Town Council handled a series of routine and procurement items during its meeting.
Key outcomes (voice votes unless noted): - Minutes: Council approved the March 3 and March 24 minutes as amended to clarify that a voluntary annexation petition was set for public hearing rather than approved. - Proclamations: The council read and approved a proclamation designating April 2025 as Public Health Month and read a proclamation designating May 1 as the National Day of Prayer. - Budget and audit reporting: Staff presented a letter drafted by the auditor clarifying operating net income/loss figures for FYs 2022–24. Council authorized sending the letter to the state as required and approved Resolution R24 related to FY24 budget matters. - Surplus property: Resolution R2425-07 declared two Public Works vehicles surplus—a 1985 F350 bucket truck and a 1998 Dodge Ram 3500 service truck—and the resolution passed. - Equipment purchases: Council authorized moving forward with a Phase 1 camera package from SCW Security for $18,658.70 (budget amendment requested) and approved purchasing Kenwood radios for the police department for $16,003.20 after staff reported Motorola vehicle radios will lose vendor support on July 1.
Several items will require follow-up: staff will prepare a budget amendment for the SCW purchase and will finalize procurement and installation logistics for both the camera system and the radios. Two public hearings were scheduled for May 5 (an annexation petition for the Old Farm area and a tap-fee agreement for Mount Vista Health Park).
