FORNEY, Texas - Residents following local parks programs or animal-shelter operations have two meetings to watch Wednesday, Nov. 18. The shelter advisory committee starts at 6:30 p.m. at the animal shelter; the Parks Board starts at 7 p.m. downtown.
These are agenda previews, not reports of decisions already made. The meetings are at different locations and begin only 30 minutes apart, so do not plan on attending all of both.
Shelter committee: 6:30 p.m., 201 Holly Leaf Trail
The Animal Adoption Center / Shelter Advisory Committee will meet at the Forney Animal Shelter, 201 Holly Leaf Trail. Its posted agenda calls for a year-end review of accomplishments, challenges and shelter numbers, along with animal welfare, intake, adoptions and ongoing needs.
Volunteer participation and an ID-badge maker are also listed. The agenda describes volunteer badges with expiration dates and no door-control access. It does not establish that the badge proposal has been approved.
The committee will also discuss planning for the Christmas on Main adoption event, listed for Saturday, Dec. 5, from noon to 5 p.m. in Historic Downtown Forney at 101 E. Main. Logistics, volunteer assignments, animal participation and promotion are on the planning list. The agenda does not name participating animals.
For residents, this is a chance to follow shelter needs and holiday adoption-event planning. It is not an announcement of new shelter hours or adoption fees.
Parks Board: 7 p.m., 101 E. Main St.
The Parks Board meets at City Hall Annex / Council Chambers, 101 E. Main St. It will discuss and consider canceling its December meeting. That cancellation is a proposal for consideration, not a completed change.
The agenda also includes 2026 recreation and special-event recaps, upcoming events, recreational opportunities and a Parks and Recreation department update. It lists an open forum for public communication. It does not list a vote to approve a new park or construction project.
