The Leon Valley City Council convened for a special meeting to deliberate over the official results of the City's general election held on May 4, which was aimed at filling three council seats - those of the Mayor, Council Place 2, and Council Place 4. A resolution and order to canvas the election returns were on the agenda, as posted on the City's website.

The meeting proceedings started with a call to order, where a quorum was confirmed present, and the pledge of allegiance was recited. This was followed by a segment titled "Citizens to be Heard," allowing for public comment. According to the agenda, S. Passailaigue, the City Secretary, was responsible for presenting the outcome of the election discussions.

Moreover, the City Council noted their right to adjourn into an Executive Session if necessary, as part of the ongoing meeting, covering a range of topics including, but not limited to consultation with attorneys, real property deliberations, and economic development, based on the Texas Government Code Sections specified in the notice.

The notice requirements dictated by Section 551.0411 were dutifully met, with verification that if an open meeting were continued to the following day, written notice for any further continuations would be provided. Other elected or appointed officials were expected to attend, with the proviso that they would not deliberate or take action on agenda items, adhering to Attorney General Opinion – No. GA-0957 (2012).

The posted notice and agenda for the special City Council meeting were in compliance with legal requirements, affixed at the Leon Valley City Hall, 6400 El Verde Road, upholding transparency until the meeting concluded. Accessibility concerns were addressed, and arrangements for assistance services were offered with prior notification to the council’s office.
