Gilmer designates city manager to file TWDB application; council authorizes 99-year lease for potential new well (acreage inconsistent in record)
Summary
Council approved Resolution R26-012 naming City Manager Mary Bullock as authorized representative to the Texas Water Development Board and authorized a 99-year lease for land to construct a new water well contingent on TCEQ approval and Texas State Water Fund grant support; the minutes show inconsistent acreage figures.
The City of Gilmer approved Resolution R26-012 to file an application with the Texas Water Development Board and designated City Manager Mary Bullock as the authorized representative to file the application and act on behalf of the city.
Separately, council authorized entering into a 99-year property lease for land to construct a new water well, contingent on approval by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) and Texas State Water Fund grant support. The agenda materials described the lease as "approximately 1.08 acres," but the open-session motion approving the lease referenced "1.80 acres." The minutes do not resolve this discrepancy; staff follow-up is required to confirm the correct acreage and to complete grant and regulatory steps before construction.
