Jacksboro meetings: Council to weigh $383,778 budget amendment; Planning & Zoning to take up 32-lot Boro Den subdivision
The Jacksboro City Council is set to consider a $383,778.49 amendment to the fiscal year 2026 budget at its July 27 meeting, while the Planning and Zoning Commission will hold a public hearing on a proposal to divide a 24.15-acre tract along State Highway 148 into 32 residential lots. Minutes for all three recent meetings on file have not yet been published, so only the agendas are available; no final actions can be confirmed.
City Council — July 27
The agenda lists Ordinance 0-21-2026, which would amend the fiscal year 2026 budget by $383,778.49. The agenda does not specify how the additional funds would be allocated.
Council members are also scheduled to consider Resolution R-17-2026, an application for Texas Water Development Board WSIG grant assistance.
On the equipment side, the council will discuss purchasing a used Bomag dual drum roller for $39,000 for the Street Department.
A budget workshop is set to include a presentation of tax rolls and discussion of Grant Program Advisory Board funding recommendations.
The meeting also includes a ceremonial swearing-in of Detective Gerald "Jerry" Upton of the Jacksboro Police Department.
Because minutes have not been published, it is not yet known whether the ordinance, resolution, or equipment purchase was approved.
Planning & Zoning Commission — July 28
The commission agenda includes swearing in two reappointed members: Jackie Rhoten, Place 2, and Jennifer Meador, Place 4. Members will also consider appointing a commission chairperson and review and approve minutes from the September 4, 2025 meeting.
The main item is a public hearing on Case Z-01-2026, a request to re-parcel four parcels — 60086, 60088, 50643, and 60087 — into 32 residential lots on a 24.15-acre tract known as the Boro Den Subdivision on State Highway 148. The commission is scheduled to discuss and make a recommendation on the request.
As with the council meeting, minutes have not been published, so the commission's recommendation is not yet confirmed.
Council quorum notice — July 28
A separate notice flagged that City Council members may attend the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. The notice states that no formal action, discussion, or deliberations would be taken by the City Council at that gathering.
