Gatesville Attests Feb. 18 Posting of Feb. 24 City Council Agenda

The City of Gatesville attested on Feb. 18, 2026 that a city council agenda was posted for a regular meeting set for Feb. 24, 2026 in the Gatesville City Council Chambers at 110 North 8th Street, Gatesville, Texas 76528. The brief posting notice identified routine business and specifically lists agenda items 21 through 23, including proposed additions and amendments to City Ordinance Chapter 40, a City Manager Report, and adjournment.

Agenda item 21 on the posted materials addresses changes to Chapter 40, Parks and Recreation, while item 22 is a City Manager Report and item 23 is Adjourn Meeting. Those three numbered items appear both in the Feb. 18 attestation and in an earlier Gatesville agenda extract dated Nov. 18, 2025, which helps confirm continuity in the city’s numbering of business items.

An earlier, fully attested agenda for a Nov. 18, 2025 regular meeting is signed by Holly Owens, T.R.M.C., City Secretary. That Nov. 12, 2025 attestation states the agenda was posted by 5:00 p.m. on Nov. 12 on the official city website and on the bulletin boards at Gatesville City Hall, 803 E. Main Street, and Gatesville Council Chambers, 110 N. 8th Street. The Nov. 18 agenda sets the meeting time as 5:30 P.M. in the Gatesville City Council Chambers at 110 North 8th Street, Gatesville, Texas 76528.

The Nov. 18, 2025 agenda shows more detailed items that are relevant to council business and public participation. Under the Elections block, item 8 calls for administering the oath to newly elected and re-elected council members Greg Casey, Ward 2 Place 5; Aaron Smith, Ward 1 Place 1; and Travis VanBibber, Ward 1 Place 3, followed by issuing Certificates of Election. The consent block on that agenda lists three draft resolutions: approval of minutes from the Oct. 28, 2025 regular meeting; naming portions of the Gatesville Library after a donating patron; and discussion of the September 2025 Financial Report; each resolution is shown with an unfilled number as “Resolution 2025-:”.

The city’s posted materials reiterate legal and accessibility notices. The document includes the Open Meetings Act compliance statement: “NOTICE THIS NOTICE IS POSTED IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE OPEN MEETING ACT (TEX. GOV’T CODE CHAPTER 551, SEC. 551.041).” It also retains the accessibility language stating that “The City of Gatesville council chambers are wheelchair accessible and accessible parking spaces are available at the back entrance of City Hall. Requests for accommodations or interpretive services must be made 24 hours prior to this meeting. Please contact the city secretary's [...]” The agenda sets public comment rules: “Citizens/Public Comments Forum: Individuals wishing to address the Gatesville City Council may do so during this segment. If you intend to comment on a specific agenda item, please indicate the item(s) on the sign-in sheet before the meeting. Each speaker is allotted a maximum of 3 minutes for their remarks, and speakers are expected to conduct themselves in a respectful manner.” The consent agenda procedure is also printed: “There will be no separate discussion of these items unless a Councilmember requests an item to be removed and considered separately.”

Notable gaps remain in the posted Feb. 18, 2026 materials provided to this reporter. The Feb. attestation cited in the city’s posting lacks the full attestation text and the name or signature of the attesting official in the excerpt supplied here. The Nov. 12, 2025 attestation is fully signed by Holly Owens, T.R.M.C., City Secretary, making it the more complete public record available until the Feb. 18 attestation text and signer are produced.

The Nov. 18 agenda extract also shows truncated lines and missing resolution numbers, and it presents at least three pages with only portions available in the extract. To confirm meeting start time for Feb. 24, the full Feb. 24 agenda packet and the full Feb. 18 attestation should be retrieved from the city’s posted materials or the bulletin boards at 803 E. Main Street and 110 N. 8th Street. The posted Nov. documents indicate the city follows statutory posting procedures under TEX. GOV’T CODE CHAPTER 551, SEC. 551.041 and that accessible parking and a 24-hour accommodation request process are in place for council meetings.
