PUBLIC FORUM, PRESENTATION, AND RECOGNITION: The City Council invites citizens to speak on any topic. However, unless the item is specifically noted on this agenda, the City Council is required under the Texas Open Meetings Act to limit its response to responding with a statement of specific factual information, reciting the City's existing policy, or directing the person making the inquiry to visit with City Staff about the issue. Therefore, no Council deliberation is permitted. Each person will have 3 minutes to speak. NA C. REGULAR AGENDA 1. Discuss, consider, and possible action on a resolution relative to Johnson County Special Utility District's request to amend Chapter 7216 of the Texas Special District Local Laws Code. Mr. Josh Howard, General Manager of Johnson County Special Utility District (JCSUD), presented a flyer and map of their service area. He explained that the proposed resolution supports a TCEQ exemption, allowing the district to transition to a single-member district and ensuring representation for all areas, including rural ones. Mayor Kimble inquired about the district's division, to which Mr. Howard replied that the specifics are unclear but will likely involve hiring a firm to assess the population. Councilmember Kidd asked whether the public or the board would make decisions about districting, and Mr. Howard indicated that the board would likely handle the decision. Mr. Howard noted that the legislative proposal pertains only to Johnson County. Mayor Kimble then announced a recess into executive session at 6:35 p.m. for attorney consultation and reconvened the meeting at 6:56 p.m. City Council Special Meeting March 10, 2025 Page 1 of 2 Docusign Envelope ID: 45BEAFA9-ADC7-4C2C-949D-F7C95C29BA6A City Attorney Welch read the resolution: A Resolution of the City Council of Joshua, Texas, Supporting in Part and Opposing in Part Johnson County Special Utility District’s Request to Amend Chapter 7216 of the Texas Special District Local Laws Code, Making Findings, and Providing for an Effective Date.
