MINUTES OF
KENNEDALE CITY COUNCIL
PRE COUNCIL WORKSHOP - JUNE 13, 1996
100 E. BROADWAY ST. - COMMUNITY CENTER
6:30 PM
Mayor Mundy called the workshop to order at 6:30 p.m.
Members present were Mayor Mundy, Councilmen Wright, Barrett, Boone, and
Kovach.
Staff present were Ted Rowe, Kathy Turner, and Wayne K. Olson, legal
counsel.
Mayor Mundy started the workshop off with discussion of administrative
details, changes, and improvements of future meetings.
Next, Mr. Mundy brought forth the issue of pre council workshops. It
was the consensus to have more workshops relating to future issues to
better prepare council for future events.
Discussion then followed with filling the vacancy of council place
three. Mr. Olson explained that the council had three options: appoint
to fill the vacancy; hold a special election; or leave the position
vacant. In addition, Mr. Olson said the statute also says that if the
position is not filled or cannot be filled by law, then 26 tax paying
voters can file a petition with the commissioner's court to call an
election.
It was the consensus of council to appoint someone at a later date to
fill the vacancy.
In closing, council discussed the economic development sales tax
election. Mr. Olson presented council with a new ordinance with minor
changes and stated that the ballot wording must be the same as in the
ordinance.
There being no further discussion, Mayor Mundy adjourned the workshop at
7:19 p.m.
