Summary

The Kennedale City Council unanimously approved an Economic Development Corporation proposal to construct a YMCA, acting on an item discussed in executive session and recorded by the city secretary.

The Kennedale City Council, reconvening from executive session at 8:52 p.m., unanimously approved an Economic Development Corporation proposal to construct the Kennedale YMCA. Councilman Glover moved to approve the EDC proposal, and the council voted in favor, the city secretary recorded the motion as passing unanimously.

The motion came directly after the council returned to regular session from executive session. Councilman Glover said, "Mr. Mayor, regarding executive session item A, I make a motion to approve the EDC proposal for the construction of the Kennedale YMCA." The mayor asked for a second and then called the vote; the city secretary announced the motion passed unanimously.

The council did not provide details in the recorded remarks about project cost, funding sources, construction timeline or approvals beyond the motion to approve the EDC proposal. The item had been discussed in executive session, and the public record in the transcript does not specify follow-up steps, contract terms, or an implementation schedule.

Because those specifics were not stated on the record, the approval recorded in open session indicates the council authorized the proposal but does not by itself disclose budget allocations, permitting status or construction milestones. The council adjourned shortly afterward.
