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.
