The Gonzales City Council convened on October 17, 2024, to discuss several key issues, including the progression of the Tinsley Creek grant process and the renaming of the summer youth program in honor of a local community figure.

During the meeting, the council unanimously approved moving forward with the 2020 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) for Tinsley Creek. The council discussed the bidding process, confirming that the project is ready for advertisement and bidding without any changes. A motion was made and seconded, with all members voting in favor, indicating strong support for the initiative.

Another significant topic was the proposal to rename the summer youth program after Moochie Turk, a respected community member credited with establishing the program nearly 40 years ago. Council members expressed their support for honoring Turk's legacy, with discussions focusing on how to incorporate her name into the program's title. Ultimately, a motion was made to officially rename it "Moochie Turk's Summer Youth Program," which also passed unanimously.

Additionally, the council addressed routine matters, including the approval of the consent agenda, which included various items without any need for further discussion. The meeting concluded with a resolution to appoint members to several local boards, although one application was withdrawn.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the council's commitment to community development and honoring local history, reflecting a proactive approach to governance in Gonzales.
