GILMER, Texas — The Gilmer City Council met Tuesday, June 9, 2026, and unanimously approved changes to standard park operating hours and accepted bids for airport cleanup work intended for RAMP grant reimbursement.
Mayor Tim Marshall called the meeting to order at 5:15 P.M. and recognized the absence of City Manager Mary Bullock, who was attending the Texas Certified Public Manager graduation. After routine announcements the council approved six consent-agenda items, including minutes and departmental reports, on a motion by Mayor Pro-Tem Pete Herrmann, seconded by Councilmember Jerry Webb; the vote was 6-0.
The council then considered Ordinance 26-023, which amends the city’s standard park operating hours.
