Council notes Open Meetings Act posting change, keeps officer report in packet
Summary
Council was advised that Open Meetings Act posting requirements change Sept. 1, 2025; members voted to keep the police officer report in the packet and were briefed on insurance increases and benefits renewal deadlines.
The council was told Aug. 11 that changes to the Open Meetings Act take effect Sept. 1, 2025, and the previous 72-hour/three-business-day posting requirement is no longer in effect.
Chief James Smith asked whether the officer's detailed report should remain in meeting packets; councilmembers Tate Smith and Robin Palmer said they wished to keep the detailed officer report in the packet, and the minutes record that the officer's detailed report will remain included. City Secretary Jackie Muckleroy also alerted the council to significant increases in TMIRP insurance costs and reminded employees that the TXHB annual benefits renewal window closes Aug. 15, 2025.
The minutes do not include the administrative text of the Open Meetings Act change or the numerical amount of the insurance increase; the change was noted as an administrative update to posting rules.
