The Denton Public Utilities Board on Sept. 29 recommended City Council adopt ordinances to acquire two parcels of land to support Denton Municipal Electric (DME) needs: 3.682 acres adjacent to the DME campus and 9.218 acres along Shady Oaks Drive.

Both items had been pulled from the consent agenda for separate consideration. The board moved and seconded each purchase and voted unanimously to recommend council approve the ordinances. Commissioner Lundquist was recorded as seconding the motion on the first parcel; names for the other mover/second were not specified in the transcript.

Staff presented the items as routine acquisitions to support DME operations; the transcript does not include purchase prices, sellers, or further terms. Both recommendations will be forwarded to City Council for final action.

Earlier in the meeting the board approved the consent agenda items A–L and the Sept. 15 minutes; items M and N were the two consent items pulled for separate discussion and were adopted by board recommendation.
