May election results are in
SAN ANGELO, Texas (Concho Valley Homepage) — The results of the May 3 elections are available after the City Council members canvassed the results at a meeting on May 14.
Tom Thompson was declared San Angelos' new mayor with Patrick Keely and Mary Coffey as the new members for the County Districts four and six.
Also at the meeting, the council approved the $41 million bond to renovate the City Coliseum, along with the approval of the runoff for the council district two seat because none of the three candidates received more than 50% of the vote.
Due to the Texas Election Code, all five members of the council must be present and four must agree on a vote for the run-off election.
'Texas election code requires a of only two council members to canvas and vote; however, because we had to call a runoff election today for a single-member district two, that does require a full quorum,' said Heather Stastny, City Clerk.
Voters will decide between Dudra Butler and Joe Self during the runoff on June 7.

Lodi's budget up 8.35% on rising costs
Jun. 7—The Lodi City Council approved the 2025-26 budget on Wednesday, and staff said the $291 million spending plan reflects an 8.35% increase over last year. The increase was primarily driven by rising staff costs, supplies and materials, staff said. Despite a slowing economy, general fund revenues are expected to see a modest 4.1% increase. "Our budget and finance team has done a great job managing our resources," Mayor Cameron Bregman said. "Because of smart planning and solid reserves, we're in a good spot to handle an uncertain economy without cutting essential services. We'll keep focusing on what matters most — supporting public safety, growing our local economy, and taking care of our proud community." The projected increase in revenues comes from recently approved Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services facility rental rate hikes, as well as an anticipated $560,000 in annual rental income from a new power plant on the south west side of Lodi Lake and $1.7 million of interest income. Reserves will continue to support park improvements, information technology upgrades and vehicle and equipment replacements, staff said. The budget also includes investments in capital infrastructure, deferred maintenance and addressing the city's underfunded pension liabilities. For example, $16.9 million has been allocated to infrastructure projects that include water main rehabilitation, signal improvements at the Ham Lane and Turner Road intersection, security cameras at city parks, the Ham Lane widening project, and transit facility repairs and upgrades. "Operating within a constrained fiscal environment, particularly within the general fund, required deliberate reflection and thoughtful choices to ensure a balanced and responsive plan to sustain our core services," Acting City Manager James Lindsay said. "To align our resources with current market conditions, we implemented a series of mitigations totaling $7.4 million to balance revenue assumptions and expenses." In addition, the budget includes allocating $2.23 million from existing reserves to cover worker's compensation, general liability, and property liability coverage; cutting a proposed $154,000 increase in the Lodi Police Department's part-time budget for pay raises to retired annuitants; reducing department budget requests by about $952,000; and eliminating a proposed $2 million budget for a new facility internal service fund. The 2025-26 draft budget is available online at and the adopted budget book will be available in the coming weeks after approved updates have been completed.

City advocates for county elections admin
Local officials are looking into the possibility of the county creating a Cooke County elections administrator position. At Tuesday evening's meeting, the city council approved advocating for a county position that would help local elections run smoothly. 'The city of Gainesville currently conducts its own municipal elections,' said City Secretary Diana Alcalá. 'While this gives us direct control over the process, it also requires a significant investment of staff, time, coordination and resources.' In recent years, the city has partnered with other entities in joint elections, including Gainesville Independent School District, North Central Texas College and Cooke County. While this helps save on costs, improves voter access and utilizes polling places more efficiently, it also creates coordination issues, spreading workers thin. 'Establishing a county elections administrator position is not just about shifting responsibilities,' said Alcalá. 'It's about strengthening the way elections are managed throughout Cooke County, including right here in Gainesville.' According to Alcalá, having a designated elections administrator would help ensure consistency and compliance with election code, and create a more consistent and clear process for voters. 'I regularly have voters show up to the tag office when I have an election at the Civic Center, and the same thing happens when the county election voters mistakenly come to our polling places,' said Alcalá. 'Each entity still has unique rules depending on its type and population, and coordinating that is not a small task.' Alcalá also mentioned that Cooke County Clerk Pam Harrison is looking to retire in the next few years, and having an elections administrator before that happens would help ease that transition, as Harrison does a lot in organizing local elections. The resolution passed by the city council simply voices its support for creating the position, and does not change the city's election authority.
