City approves alcohol consumption for July 4 celebration

During a recent government meeting, the council approved a resolution allowing for the temporary suspension of a city ordinance to permit alcohol consumption at No Harm Municipal Park during the Fourth of July celebration on July 4, 2024. This decision aims to enhance the festivities and provide a more enjoyable experience for attendees.

Additionally, the council authorized the police department to submit an application for a traffic enforcement program grant aimed at combating impaired driving. The grant, which totals $25,000, includes $20,000 in funding from the Texas Department of Transportation and a $5,000 contribution from the city. This initiative underscores the city's commitment to improving road safety and reducing incidents of impaired driving through targeted enforcement efforts.
