Burleson Board Considers Old Town Murals; Council to Weigh Public Sporting Events Viewing
The Burleson Public Spaces and Cultural Heritage Board met June 23 to consider a resolution approving several Old Town murals tied to the Echo Alley project, along with a survey of public art in the area. The meeting was part of a light two-week stretch for city boards, with the Planning and Zoning Commission canceling its June 9 meeting and holding a June 23 session that had no substantive items. The City Council is set to hold a special meeting July 9 to discuss authorizing public viewing of sporting events.
Public Spaces and Cultural Heritage Board
The board, during its June 23 meeting, had four items on its agenda: approving minutes from May 12, receiving a report on a survey of public art in Old Town for inventory development, voting on a resolution approving Old Town murals for the Echo Alley project, and conducting a walking tour of four potential public art sites in Old Town. Minutes from the meeting have not yet been published, so outcomes of the votes and discussions are not available. The board’s actions remain pending official record.
Planning & Zoning Commission
The Planning and Zoning Commission’s June 23 meeting agenda contained only standard boilerplate and a notice that the June 9 meeting had been canceled. No items were listed for discussion or decision.
City Council Special Meeting (Upcoming)
The Burleson City Council will hold a special meeting on July 9. The council will consider and possibly vote on a minute order authorizing the city manager to organize public viewing of one or more sporting events in the plaza or other city locations. The council will also recess into executive session to discuss pending or contemplated litigation under Section 551.071 of the Texas Government Code. The meeting includes a citizens appearances period for items not on the agenda, with a three-minute limit and a speaker card requirement.
