The City of Granbury held a regular City Council meeting on October 15, 2024, at Granbury City Hall. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of an amendment to the city's personnel manual to establish a daily per diem rate for meal expenses during city business travel, tied to the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) rates. The council also approved an ordinance to collect fees for illegally placed political signs, ensuring equitable treatment of political and commercial signage. Additionally, the council granted a nonexclusive franchise to Atmos Energy for natural gas delivery within city boundaries. A cultural arts commission recommendation to authorize a utility box art wrapping program featuring local artists was approved, with no financial impact on the city as sponsorships would cover costs. The council also discussed a proposed Gateway installation at the Moments in Time hike and bike trail entrance, authorizing the city manager to coordinate placement with the Shanley Park Association. The meeting included presentations on the Granbury Police Department's reaccreditation and a comprehensive plan update focusing on future land use, housing strategies, and transportation improvements. A 4% merit increase was awarded to the City Secretary and Municipal Court judges. No direct contract awards or RFPs were mentioned, but several policy and fee schedule decisions could influence future procurement and vendor opportunities.
