The Lometa City Council met last week to discuss the adoption of an ordinance to establish rules for the recreational-vehicle area in Lometa Regional Park.
The council chose to postpone the item until after a park workshop that is planned for Dec. 7 at 6 p.m.
The council took no action on approving the Resnexus Park Management and Reservations Software for the park.
In other business, the council discussed an administrative agreement with TML Health Benefits Pool. The council also discussed continuing the COBRA Continuation of Coverage health insurance. Council members voted to accept that agreement.
