Notes and context: Several votes were unanimous. The EDC kayak-launch funding drew a single dissenting vote; during discussion the dissenting councilmember said the expenditure appeared to favor a select group. The fee-schedule item had two subitems pulled for later consideration and was approved in amended form.

Ending: Council members also made ceremonial proclamations and received informational presentations (including a Judson ISD briefing on a voter-approved tax-rate election). The items summarized above represent the formal actions recorded in the Sept. 30 meeting minutes.
