The oaths of office will be administered to the newly elected officials and certificates of election will be presented to them. A mayor pro-tem will be elected for the 2024-2025 term.
The 2025 calendar year holiday observances are expected to be set. Council will also consider action on a proposed resolution to prohibit specific applications that pose a security risk as set out in Chapter 620 of the Texas Government Code.
