8.1 CONSIDER A RESOLUTION APPROVING A ONE-YEAR RENEWAL OF THE CHAPTER 380 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH CHRISTMAS IN ACTION FOR THE HOPE PROGRAM IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $60,000. Presented By: Joseph Fackel, Director of Economic Development Christmas In Action (CIA) is requesting a renewal of its current Chapter 380 Agreement, which is set to expire on September 30, 2026. CIA is not requesting any additional funding beyond the amount previously approved by the City Council on August 12, 2025.

8.2 CONSIDER A RESOLUTION APPROVING A FUNDING REQUEST FROM THE JOHNSON COUNTY HERITAGE FOUNDATION (JCHF) FOR AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $160,000 FOR MUSEUM OPERATIONS AND AUTHORIZING A CHAPTER 380 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT. Presented By: Joseph Fackel, Director of Economic Development The Johnson County Heritage Foundation (JCHF) is requesting an increase in funding for the operations of the Chisholm Trail Outdoor Museum (CTOM), which would raise its annual allocation from $100,000 to $160,000. CTOM has been in continuous operation on the City of Cleburne’s property, west of Lake Pat Cleburne along US Highway 67, since 2005. Similar to its request last year, and according to CTOM leadership, the requested increase is driven by several factors, including the need to raise wages to meet minimum wage requirements, provide basic health insurance coverage, and manage higher payroll-related costs. Museum leadership also indicated that they no longer receive assistance from the Sheriff’s Department, which previously supplied probationers to perform daily maintenance and facility upkeep. A Chapter 380 Economic Development and Performance Agreement was approved on August 12, 2025, providing funding in the amount of $100,000, subject to compliance with certain terms and conditions as outlined in the agreement. The current agreement expires on September 30, 2026.

8.3 CONSIDER A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A CONTRACT WITH QUALITY EXCAVATION, LLC FOR THE FM 4 TO GARDEGA ROAD 16-INCH WATER LINE EXTENSION PROJECT, WITH A BID AMOUNT OF $2,294,051.75. Presented By: Jeremy Hutt, Public Works Director Described as Project W-6 in the Water Master Plan, this project will connect two existing 16-inch water lines, completing the eastern water transmission loop. The project includes the installation of approximately 7,500 linear feet of new 16-inch water transmission line and related infrastructure. This work is necessary to complete the eastern water transmission loop, providing increased water capacity, improved water quality, greater water system redundancy, and improved water transmission to North Cleburne. Construction is anticipated to begin immediately following contract execution, with the contract time established at 300 calendar days. This item authorizes the award of a construction contract to Quality Excavation, LLC, in the amount of $2,294,051.75, establishing a total project budget of $2,294,051.75.

8.4 CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 50: GARBAGE AND TRASH, SECTIONS 50.06 AND 50.11 REGARDING RATES FOR HAULING AND DISPOSING OF GARBAGE OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES. Presented By: Jeremy Hutt, Public Works Director This proposed ordinance amendment updates the rates for solid waste services. Waste Connections, the City of Cleburne’s contracted hauler, requested a rate adjustment in accordance with the franchise agreement. The rate adjustment will include a 2.61% consumer price index (CPI) increase and a $3.21 per-ton operating cost adjustment. The new rates will take effect October 1, 2026, and will be reflected in the Code of Ordinances.

9.1 DISCUSS THE STATUS AND NEXT STEPS FOR THE PROPOSED PUBLIC SAFETY FACILITY PROJECT. Presented by: Rob Severance, Police Chief Staff will provide a status update on the proposed Public Safety Facility project, which is intended to house the Police Department, Fire Administration, and Municipal Court. The update is intended to brief Council on the project background, current planning activities, and next steps as the City continues working toward a potential November 2026 bond election to fund construction and related costs.
