Kempner will consider revised fund-balance resolution directing mayor, manager and staff

The City of Kempner’s posted agenda includes consideration of a revised resolution (listed as revised resolution #2024-11-12-001 / R-25-001) concerning the city’s fund-balance account. The packet states the resolution would provide directives to the mayor, the city manager and staff; the posted notice does not include the revised language or specify any fund-balance dollar amounts.

In his general statement included with the agenda, Mayor John "JW" Wilkerson reminded the public that council may take official action only on items listed under Action Items and described the citizen-comment policy. "Each council member is afforded the opportunity to express their opinions on matters brought before them; - Each citizen is treated with respect and afforded the opportunity to be heard; - Each council member and staff member is treated with respect by the general public and other staff and council members," the agenda records under the mayor’s statement. Because the posted packet does not reproduce the revised resolution text, the scope of the directive to staff and any fiscal impacts were not specified.
