Granbury City Council, June 16, 2026: Council Supports New Memorial Lane Recognition Plaques

The Granbury City Council held a meeting on June 16, 2026, during which they discussed and approved the installation of recognition plaques at the Jim Burks Firefighters Memorial Park. The council considered using park dedicated funds to purchase a plaque honoring the contributions of Julie and Bob Pennell, who were instrumental in developing the park. A motion to approve the plaque installation was made and passed unanimously. Additionally, the council approved a request from the Elizabeth Crocket Daughters of the American Revolution to place a Liberty Tree Plaque at the base of a red oak tree in the same park, with the motion also passing 5-0. The council briefly discussed the condition of the park's pergola and benches, deferring further decisions on restoration to a future meeting.
