The Leon Valley City Council convened on August 6, 2023, to address several key motions and community concerns during their regular meeting. The session resumed after an executive session, where two significant motions were approved.

Council Member Bradshaw initiated a motion allowing the city manager to negotiate a 380 agreement with 6400 Bandera LLC, which was seconded by Councilor Orozco. The motion passed unanimously, signaling the council's support for the business engagement.

Following this, Councilor Campos proposed a motion for the city manager to enter into a grant agreement with Global Gate USA for $4,755, which also received unanimous approval. These agreements mark a positive step towards fostering business development in Leon Valley.

During the public comment segment, residents expressed their appreciation for recent community engagement efforts, particularly a \"Coffee with the Mayor\" event that provided insights into local law enforcement operations. One resident, Drew Power, highlighted the educational value of the event, thanking the city manager and council members for their transparency and efforts to keep the community informed.

However, the meeting also saw tensions arise as resident Blackmore raised concerns regarding ethics within the council, specifically mentioning the presence of a felon on city committees. He expressed dissatisfaction with the council's handling of committee appointments and called for accountability. In response, a council member clarified that there are no felons on any Leon Valley committees, aiming to dispel the concerns raised.

Another resident, Charles Matthews, questioned the process of discussing city-owned land sales in executive sessions, advocating for more transparency in such negotiations. The city manager explained that discussions regarding real property sales are permitted in closed sessions to protect negotiation strategies, but all final actions must occur in open meetings.

The meeting concluded with a shift to the regular agenda, where the council planned to discuss an in-kind grant application from the American Legion for their upcoming September 11 ceremony, reflecting the council's commitment to supporting local organizations and commemorative events.
