Bastrop, Tx–Monday and Tuesday, June 29 and 30, the Bastrop City Council will hold back to back meetings to begin mapping out priorities and strategies for at least the next year. City Manager Mike Talbot has pressed the council to schedule the sessions because three of the six council members were elected for the first time in May and the remaining three were first elected in May 2008.
Each meeting next week begins at 6 p.m. at City Hall, 904 Main St. Each is a posted meeting and open to the public. Under state law, some topics which could arise may be discussed behind closed doors. The posted agenda does not permit the council to take action on any topic or issue discussed in executive session.
Talbot has told the council he hopes to hear them discuss their issues, concerns and priorities at the Monday session, including preliminary ideas for planning a new budget for the fiscal year which begins Oct. 1.
Talbot said he hopes to devote some of the Tuesday session to a review of the functions and duties of the city’s various offices, departments, boards and commissions to give the council a clearer conception of how the city carries out its business.
