El Lago City Council

El Lago City Council on Monday, accepted a $500 donation from ExxonMobile in the name of El Lago Park Board Chair Ted Powell, an employee of the company, in a new community service donation program.  ExxonMobile has agreed to contribute $500 to the city for every 20 hours of community service that an employee performs in a one-year period.  Powell built a small bridge for McNair Memorial Park to qualify.

The city council approved a resolution in support of the Ellington Field Task Force's efforts to retain and enhance the joint reserve base presence at Ellington Field. 

The city council voted to appoint Robert Barfield as municipal court judge.

The city council deferred adoption of a city mission statement until additional community input is solicited.  

The city council tabled action on a proposed employee policies and procedures manual until a workshop on the issue on February 25.

All other agenda items were approved.
