A spirited discussion unfolded at the Forney City Council meeting on June 3, 2025, as community engagement took center stage with several new board appointments. Among the highlights was the nomination of Cecilia Gomez and Clinton Kirk to the Board of Adjustments, both of whom received unanimous support from council members.

Gomez, who expressed her eagerness to contribute to the city, was nominated by council member Mitch Linsker. "I want to get in and learn and develop," she stated, emphasizing her commitment to understanding local governance. Kirk's nomination followed closely, also receiving a warm endorsement from the council.

In a notable procedural move, the council decided to postpone the appointment for an open seat on the Board of Adjustments until the next meeting, allowing for more applicants to come forward. This decision reflects the council's desire to ensure a diverse and representative selection process.

Additionally, the council addressed the future of the animal shelter board, agreeing to hold off on any appointments until the next meeting due to a lack of applicants. This pause indicates a thoughtful approach to filling important community roles.

As the meeting concluded, the council's focus on community involvement and transparency was clear, setting the stage for continued engagement and development in Forney. The next meeting promises to bring further discussions and potential appointments, as the city looks to enhance its governance with active citizen participation.
