Rockwall council authorizes city manager to finalize wholesale water contract with Heath

The Rockwall City Council unanimously authorized the city manager to finalize negotiations and execute a wholesale water supply contract with the City of Heath, council members voted after returning from executive session.

Mayor Pro Tem Mueller moved to authorize the manager to finalize the contract; Mayor Tim McCallum seconded the motion and the council approved it without objection. The council discussed the item only briefly in open session after the executive session announcement; no further details of the contract terms were presented during the meeting.

The action follows the executive-session notice that the council would discuss a wholesale water purchase contract between Rockwall and Heath under Chapter 551 of the Texas Government Code. Council members did not place contract specifics on the public record at the meeting, and staff did not provide a staff report with price or delivery terms during the vote.

Next steps: city staff will complete negotiations and execute the agreement as authorized by the council; the manager and staff are expected to report back with contract particulars or with any necessary ordinance or formal contract documents if required by procurement rules.
