The Whitesboro City Council met Tuesday night to discuss a number of issues. All members were present except Alderman Mike Pack.
The Council began by hearing from department heads. Library director, Ginger Garvin said their summer program is coming to a close this week and they expect between 40 and 45 attendees at the slumber party Friday night.
Penny Renfroe, director of parks and recreation, said she was searching for a new administrative assistance. Scott Taylor, Whitesboro Police Chief also said that one of his officiers, Ryan Canady, had resigned.
The Council then heard recommendations from Janis Crawley, director of economic development for an appointment to fill an unexpired term on the economic development board. The Council appointed Amy Goedecke to fill the position.
The Council then voted unanimously to pass a 3.5 percent rate increase for solid waste disposal onto the citizens. The increase has already been passed by IESI and this decision only passes the increase onto the customers.
The Council passed an agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation that would grant permission to close Highway 56 for the Peanut Festival. This agreement is for five years instead of the usual one year.
Finally, the Council voted to suspend the Atmos GRIP rate request. This is a request by Atmos energy to increase its rates. The council’s suspension of the request will give the council time to review the request and allow customers to enjoy another three months before a rate increase.
