Burkburnett commissioners accept ordinance canvassing May 2 election returns

The Burkburnett Board of Commissioners voted to accept Ordinance No. 1115, canvassing the May 2, 2026, municipal election returns for commissioner seats in Place 5 and Place 6.

The city clerk read the ordinance caption aloud as the meeting moved to agenda item 5. Mayor Pro Tem (speaker labeled S1) moved to accept Ordinance No. 1115 and, according to the transcript, also verbally seconded the motion. "All those in favor, say aye," the Mayor Pro Tem called; the Mayor Pro Tem responded "Aye," and no opposition was voiced in the transcript. The clerk had earlier said the vote numbers were posted on the city website the prior day.

The ordinance formalizes the canvass of the election held May 2, 2026, to fill the two commissioner positions. The transcript does not include a roll-call or a numerical tally; the acceptance of the ordinance is recorded as a voice vote. The clerk read the caption identifying the purpose: canvassing the election returns for commissioners for Place 5 and Place 6.

After the ordinance was accepted, the Mayor Pro Tem moved to adjourn; the motion was seconded and the meeting concluded.

The meeting included an opening prayer led by Commissioner Linden Moore and the Pledge of Allegiance before the board moved to the canvass item.
