City Council Meeting - 2026/10/20

The Nacogdoches City Council meeting, identified in the title as October 20, 2026 (metadata timestamp: October 21), included two procurement-related matters. Council unanimously approved a contract with MD Select Texas PLLC for professional services under the city’s self-funded employee health plan and authorized the city manager to execute the necessary documents. The contract amount was not stated; city staff estimated the approach could cost about one-third of the city’s prior Excel ER expenses and described it as a way to provide employees with more primary and after-hours care and help contain plan costs.

Council also unanimously approved an amendment to the city’s weapons ordinance creating exceptions that would allow specified activities, including permitted pest-control work. Staff said the change would enable the city to pursue a potential agreement with Texas Parks and Wildlife or a licensed service to address feral hogs; no contract or spending approval was made at this meeting. The council approved the 2027 legislative priorities with one disputed item set aside for further discussion at a later meeting. It also received the Keep Nacogdoches Beautiful annual report; no related purchase or spending action was identified.
