The Forney City Council convened on July 15, 2025, to address several agenda items, including a review of previous meeting minutes, citizen comments, and the consent agenda.

The meeting began with a motion from Council Member Helm regarding the approval of prior meeting minutes. However, a discrepancy was noted concerning the approval attributed to Council Member James, who was not present at that meeting. After some discussion, it was decided to withdraw the motion to allow for further review of the minutes, with plans to revisit this item in a future meeting.

Following this, the council opened the floor for citizen comments. Kamitra and Christopher Barber, the new owners of the Peach Cobbler Factory, introduced themselves and expressed their excitement about their new business. They highlighted their plans to offer a variety of desserts, including churros, cinnamon rolls, and ice cream, and emphasized their desire to create a welcoming space for community gatherings, including events for local youth organizations.

The council then moved on to the consent agenda, which included six items. No council members requested any items to be pulled for further discussion. A motion to approve the consent agenda was made by Council Member Traylor and seconded by Council Member Schlensker. The motion passed unanimously.

The meeting concluded with the council preparing to address public hearing items, marking a productive session focused on community engagement and administrative matters. Further discussions and decisions are anticipated in upcoming meetings as the council continues to address the needs and interests of Forney residents.
