Fate Council to Hold Feb. 12 Hearing on Recall of Codi Chinn

The City of Fate posted a special city council meeting agenda that, in one account, includes a public hearing on a petition to recall Council Member Codi Chinn (Place 1). The notice appears in two supplied documents that conflict on the scheduled meeting date, a discrepancy that could affect residents planning to attend.

One supplied agenda fragment includes a formal notice that "THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FATE WILL HOLD A SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING AT 6:00 P.M. ON MONDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 2026 AT FATE CITY HALL, 1900 CD BOREN PARKWAY, FATE, TEXAS, FOR THE FOLLOWING PURPOSES:" but its header also shows a typographical error reading "FEBRUARY 9, 20266:00 P.M." A separate report supplied with the materials states, verbatim, "The City of Fate posted a Special City Council meeting agenda for February 12, 2026 that includes a public hearing to discuss, consider and take any necessary action on a petition to recall Council Member Codi Chinn (Place 1)."

The posted agenda fragment bears an administrative certification showing the notice was filed on the bulletin board at Fate City Hall on the "3rd day of February, 2026, at 4:45 P.M." and includes a signature line for Victoria Raduechel, TRMC, City Secretary. The fragment lists routine meeting business including "CALL TO ORDER AND CONFIRM A QUORUM," "INVOCATION AND PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE AMERICAN AND TEXAS FLAGS," and under presentations a "Presentation on the Downtown Drainage Study." The public-comment line in the supplied excerpt is truncated.

The agenda excerpt also lists potential executive-session topics by statute: "§551.071 Consultations with Attorney; §551.072 Deliberations regarding Real Property; §551.074 Personnel Matters; §551.076 Deliberations regarding Security Devices; §551.087 Deliberations regarding Economic Development Negotiations." Accessibility language in the document notes, "This building is wheelchair accessible. Any request for accommodations or interpretive services must be made 48 hours prior to this meeting. Please contact the City Secretary’s Office at (972) 771-4601 Ext. 103 for further information."

The materials include an incomplete line from the separate report: "The agenda also lists an item to consider an ordinance ordering a special", the sentence is cut off and the remainder of that item is not in the supplied text. The two documents therefore disagree on the meeting date (February 9 versus February 12) and the supplied agenda fragment does not, in its visible portion, show the recall item quoted in the report.

For residents tracking the recall petition and council business, the discrepancy means confirming the official meeting date and reviewing the full agenda are essential. Contact the City Secretary’s Office, Victoria Raduechel, TRMC, at (972) 771-4601 Ext. 103, or consult Fate’s official posted agenda to verify whether the recall hearing and any ordinance action are on the council docket. If the hearing is held as posted, it could determine whether the council considers formal action related to the petition; if the ordinance line refers to election scheduling, further public notices would outline timing and procedures. Follow-up confirmation of the full agenda and any supporting documents will clarify next steps for voters and interested residents.
