As required by the Texas Election Code, the City canvassed the returns of the November 6, 2018 special election on November 22, 2018 through Ordinance 2018-43. Ordinance 2018-43 did not contain the finalized language that will be included in the Charter.
Under Section 9.005 of the Texas Local Government Code, a charter amendment does not take effect until the governing body of the municipality formally enters an order in the records of the municipality declaring that the charter amendment is adopted. Staff recommends approval of this ordinance, which formally enters an order in the records of the City declaring the charter amendments adopted and contains the finalized language that will be included in the Charter.
