Everman City Council approves consent agenda, reappointments and Encore steering‑committee resolution

The Everman City Council convened Feb. 10 and approved its consent agenda, including minutes from the Jan. 13 regular meeting, and accepted the city’s financial statements for December 2025.

During the consent vote an unnamed councilmember moved to approve the consent agenda and multiple councilmembers—recorded in the transcript as Place 4, Place 5, Place 6 and the Mayor—vocalized their support. A subsequent motion to approve the December financials was seconded and carried by voice votes from Place 1 through Place 6 and the Mayor.

Council also handled a series of personnel and advisory appointments. Members voted to reappoint most Planning & Zoning commissioners whose terms had expired; Judy Welborn announced she would not seek reappointment. The council approved appointments to the Animal Shelter Advisory Committee, naming Ray Renschler as the shelter staff representative, Dr. Patrick Reeves as the veterinarian representative and Susan Mackey as the municipal officer representative.

Later in the meeting the council approved Resolution No. 2026‑2‑1, authorizing continued participation with the steering committee of cities served by Encore Electric Delivery Company LLC and authorizing a payment of $0.10 per capita to support regulatory and legal activities related to Encore. The motion recorded ‘‘Aye’’ from Place 1 through Place 6 and the Mayor and the presiding officer said, "Motion carried."

Council members did not elaborate on alternatives to the per‑capita payment during the meeting; staff placed the resolution on the agenda for action and it passed on the voice vote recorded in the transcript.

The meeting then moved on to staff briefings and other agenda business. The council adjourned at 8:10 p.m.
