Council member pushes to reject controversial settlement proposal
In a recent city council meeting, Council Member Ryan Alter proposed an amendment to Item 81, which pertains to a settlement involving Texas Gas Service. Alter expressed his inability to support the current settlement and moved to amend the main motion to remove the city's affirmation of it. The amendment also aimed to deny the application from Texas Gas Service.

The council discussed the implications of the amendment, clarifying that if adopted, the city would take no position on the settlement proposal and would effectively deny the application. The motion to amend was seconded by the Mayor Pro Tem and passed without objection, despite the absence of Council Members Allison Alter and Ellis during the vote.

Following the amendment's adoption, Council Member Ryan Alter thanked the speakers for their contributions and indicated a desire to move forward with the amended motion. The council subsequently adopted the main motion as amended, marking a significant decision regarding the city's stance on the gas service application.
