The Odessa Board of Aldermen approved bills to update the frequency of its meetings on Monday, February 10.

The board voted in late 2024 to only hold one meeting per month. City Administrator Shawna Davis says the board now prefers to meet twice a month after trying out this meeting schedule.

The board meets the second and fourth Monday of each month.

In other news, the board approved a lease-purchase agreement with John Deere Financial for a mini excavator. Davis says this lease will cost $6,240 per year. Also, aldermen approved a special event application for the Odessa Chamber of Commerce Rodeo, which is scheduled for June 20-21.
