After an hour in executive session
Tuesday evening, the Denton City Council agreed to give City Manager George
Campbell the authority to amend a contract the city has to buy 2 acres of
county-owned land downtown. The briefing was the eighth such
closed-door session on the city’s proposed purchase of the parcel since
discussions first began in March 2011.Council members made no public comment
as they cast a unanimous vote at the end of a work session, though city
documents attached to the agenda show the city manager is poised to ask Denton
County Commissioners Court for more time to finish the deal, which was
originally scheduled to close Nov. 29, 2012. City staff had recommended the move,
citing a need for more time to make a thorough environmental assessment of the
property.
