The city council agenda includes a provision for potential closed sessions during the August 11, 2026 meeting. Council members will assess whether private deliberations are necessary before convening.
Any closed or executive session must comply with the Texas Open Meetings Act, specifically Texas Government Code 551.001 et seq. The notice authorizes consultations with city attorneys for permitted purposes under state law.
Should a closed session be required, it will occur at the date, hour, and location specified in the official meeting notice. The council may address any subjects allowed by the Act during these private proceedings.
