Thursday: Willow Park posts its Nov. 17 agenda with the election canvass
Why it matters. The resolution in Willow Park's Nov. 17 council packet lists Proposition A, the home rule charter, at 916 for and 1,771 against, and Proposition B, $10,110,000 in certificates of obligation, at 1,361 for and 1,490 against.
Those are the same figures as the county's unofficial count; the council canvasses the votes Tuesday. Aledo's Planning and Zoning Commission holds its food truck and sign hearings at 6 p.m. tonight, and MaxPreps now lists Fort Worth's Kight Stadium as the site of Friday's bi-district game.

The record
Willow Park council to canvass the Nov. 3 propositions Tuesday; packet lists the same counts as the county
The agenda for the Willow Park City Council's 6 p.m. meeting Tuesday, Nov. 17, at City Hall, 120 El Chico Trail, Suite A, was posted Nov. 10. Item 5 is the canvass of the Nov. 3 special election and Resolution No. 2026-43 declaring the results. The draft resolution in the packet lists Proposition A, to adopt a home rule charter, at 916 for and 1,771 against (2,687 votes cast), and Proposition B, authorizing $10,110,000 in certificates of obligation for the purposes in Ordinance 944-26, at 1,361 for and 1,490 against. Those match Parker County's unofficial counts. Item 6 is a discussion, placed by Councilmembers Eric Contreras and Buddy Wright, of the two propositions, "future funding options" and the election's impact on residents.
Also on the agenda: the fourth-quarter finance report; an update on the new wastewater treatment plant, which the staff slides in the packet say has reached 99% completion, with a replacement pump head unit awaited and a technician scheduled Nov. 16 to repair the screw press; auctioning a surplus vehicle; calling a special meeting to swear in Police Chief Roger Yount; and recognition of seven staff members who are U.S. military veterans.
What you can do. Speakers fill out a form and turn it in to the City Secretary at least five minutes before the meeting starts; comments are limited to five minutes each.
