CC Meeting 5-26-2026

The City of Bandera held a council meeting on May 26, 2026, addressing several procurement and administrative issues. Key procurement-related discussions included the decision to issue Requests for Qualifications (RFQs) for legal representation, with council members expressing concerns about the current firm's performance and agreeing to explore other options over the next three months. The council also approved a resolution for a $225,000 GLO Resilient Communities Grant aimed at updating building codes and flood prevention ordinances, with a motion to amend the sign ordinance to grandfather existing protruding signs to support local businesses. A significant discussion focused on the Flock camera system invoice, where council members questioned the approval and payment process for additional cameras beyond the original grant scope, and authorized staff to explore legal options for reimbursement. Additionally, the council addressed staffing challenges, particularly the urgent need to hire an interim city treasurer on a temporary contract basis to manage critical payments and maintain grant compliance. The meeting concluded with motions to table certain agenda items pending further information and to enter closed sessions for personnel and legal matters related to city administration and property.
