The Whitesboro City Council met Tuesday night to cover items on a long agenda. All council members were present excluding Mark Pike. The meeting began with the regular meeting items.
Then Mayor W.D. Welch and Alderman Jim Keller took oaths accepting the responsibility of their newly re-elected positions. The board then took the time to appoint council members to various positions and committees.
Alderman Harold Butts was elected treasurer. Butts and Alderman Mike Pack were elected to the Bill Screening Committee. Alderman Charles Whitecotton and Alderman Mark Pike were elected to the Utility Committee. Alderman Mark Pike was nominated for the Texoma Council of Government. Finally, Alderman Jim Keller was re-elected as Mayor Pro Tem. The board reappointed the current municipal judges and the court clerk. The board also agreed to continue with its current meeting time.
The board discussed action for a number of deteriorating properties throughout the city as well as extra property the city is considering selling. Specifically the board agreed to begin condemnation proceedings with the property at 806 East Main Street. The board will hold a public hearing at the next council meeting.
The board voted to award the bid, for about $286,000, for the construction of the “eastside outfall from Highway 377 to U.S. Highway 82.” The board declared the office of the City Secretary as “the official site for filing publications, agenda, notices, minutes and other official records of committees, boards and corporations affiliated with the city of Whitesboro.”
Finally, the board entered executive session where they deliberated on personnel matters and about “real property.” The board appointed a committee to begin working on the acquisition of property for the cemetery.
