On Tuesday, May 12, 2026, the Fort Worth City Council held a special called meeting at 4:00 PM in the City Council Chamber to canvass the results of three special elections held on May 2, 2026: a bond election for the 2026 General Obligation Debt Program, a charter amendment election, and a special election for City Council District 10. The meeting included public comments, unanimous votes to certify the election results, farewell remarks for outgoing Councilmember Alan Blaylock, and the swearing-in of his successor, Chris Jameson.
I think that's a good thing. It's not like I think it's all right. I think that's one thing. Okay. Oh, you can't do it. So I think it's not that. So I have to add a lot. I like the early thing. You're doing a little bit of a station. You can make it speaking on the way. Oh, much better now. So yes. So again, it's for some. I don't have I don't have a problem. Okay, good evening. Apologies. Thank you for waiting. We're going to get started. Everyone could please take your seat. We will get started. Good evening and welcome to your Fort City Council's special called council meeting, which is the election campus. Today is Tuesday, May twelfth, and I will call our meeting to order. Passed with fifty-five point two nine percent of the vote. Passed with fifty-eight point seven two percent. Proposition K, failed with 55.07% of the voters voting against. Proposition L failed with 50.65% of the voters voting against. Proposition M failed with 57.66% of the vote voting against. Proposition N passed with 69.22% of the vote. Proposition O passed with 76.49% of the vote. Mayor and Council, the certified results show that propositions G, I, J, N, and O were approved by the voters. Propositions H K, L, and M were not approved by the voters. Next will be the council district 10 special election and two candidates. And Chris Jameson with 51.05% of the vote was elected to serve the remaining term for District 10. Mayor and Council next will be speakers on the ordinance and resolutions for approving the canvas. And then we will take action on each individual item. Thank you, Jeanette. Our first speaker is Adrian Smith, followed by Bob Willoughby. Adrian Smith, District 6, I am one with the people. Before the canvassing for the most recent election votes or final determined, let's be clear on one thing. This wasn't a win for our city by any means. Considering we are 49.3 million dollars in the negative for the physical year 2027 and operating costs. This is a reflection once again of a bad governance by way of the mayor, see your city manager, and city council. Also, the individual lied on Tuesday, May 5th, 2026 on the budget work session, which when she stated everything was passed by the voters. And doesn't reflect the data currently reported by the Terran County Elections Commission. I will make it a priority of mine, like I've consistently done to follow every dollar that's allocated from this massive fraudulent bond disguised as improvements for our city. If if you feel proud about this fraud that's passed, shame on you. In closing, I encourage all who work in various city departments that your positions are under threat by way of the city manager. Why else would he require more power and control unless he's been influenced by outside sources or those who are doing or those who are doing things to undermine the city? Be mindful of who you're talking to, and don't be afraid of being a whistleblower if you feel your misdeeds, if you feel misdeeds are taking place within your city department. And again, um as it relates to this bond, it's only one proposition I support it, and that was proposition D, although it could have been more, should have been more, but I think you all used it as a means to get favorable means for the other propositions passing.
