Council Meetings

Council Meetings will normally be held in the Council Chambers in City Hall located at #1 Community Drive at 3:00 p.m. Scheduled meetings are listed on the minutes page. Agenda for the next meeting will appear on the agenda page 72 hours before the meeting. A typical City Council meeting begins with the Mayor determining that a quorum (at least three members) is present. The Mayor then calls the meeting to order. Following an invocation and stating of the Pledges of Allegiance, City Council begins the official business of the meeting by considering agenda items that require an individual vote, including time-certain items. Individual Consideration items usually merit a detailed Council discussion. Prior to consideration of Individual items, the Council considers the Consent agenda. Consent items include more routine items such as the purchase of equipment and supplies; capital improvements; or other items. Council members may pull certain consent items for individual discussion. Consent items may be adopted as a group by a single vote. During the meeting, Time-Certain items, including public hearings may be called and considered at their posted times or as soon as possible thereafter.

The Council may go into Executive Session to consider legal, personnel, and competitive and other matters permitted under Texas Open meeting laws.

The posted agenda will clearly identify matters which may be voted upon for final decision by the council.

The Council requests that persons with cell phones either turn them off, or to vibrate. Persons using computers during council meetings are requested to mute their sound output for the duration of the meeting.
