Good morning, Amarillo.

Giant bulletin boards appeared along the Rock Island Trail at Plains and Bell and show employee rights details like FMLA, minimum wage, and the Polygraph Protection Act—officials have not explained who placed them or why.

David Prescott, a candidate for Place 3 on Amarillo City Council, said his top plan is to expand the Hollywood Road Wastewater Treatment Plant because it is using more than 80% of its allowed water and may hold back future growth.

He brings nearly 30 years of environmental experience and will seek state+federal grants to fund the $800 million project over nine years without raising property taxes.

The Amarillo City Council will hold its final meeting before the May 3 election Tuesday at 3 p.m. at City Hall, where they will discuss revised AEDC policies and procedures and consider seating a permanent AEDC board after four members resigned last November.

The council will also review a proposal to reclassify one library book, approve state fund distribution for City projects—including the Amarillo-Potter Event Venue District—and see a Dura Patcher demonstration plus a resolution on a new Municipal Utility District policy.

Nune Perez—a Lamb County native and U.S. Navy veteran working at Cacique Foods—is running for Amarillo City Council Place 3 and promises long-term fixes for water, roads, public safety and economic growth.

He said he will work to upgrade aging infrastructure, boost police presence in underserved areas and create more jobs for residents.

After a measles case was confirmed at Richard Milburn Academy, the school closed Thursday for sanitization and will resume classes Tuesday while unvaccinated students and staff must quarantine for 21 days — it is the first confirmed case in Potter County following an earlier case in Randall County.
