City Council May Hold Closed Session During September Meeting

The City Council will consider whether to convene a closed or executive session during its September 16 meeting. If necessary, the council may hold the session or consult with city attorneys as permitted under the Texas Open Meetings Act at the scheduled time and location.

Meeting Schedule and Location

The City Council will convene on September 16, 2026, for its regular meeting.

Legal Authority for Closed Sessions

The potential closed session is authorized under the Texas Open Meetings Act, specifically Texas Government Code 551.001 et seq.

This legal framework permits the council to discuss sensitive subjects and consult with city attorneys outside of public view when necessary.

The decision depends on whether the topics under discussion fall within the purposes permitted by state law.
