Mayor Max Taylor provided members of the Oak Valley City Council an update of the proposed annexation of Riot Platforms located on FM 709 in Navarro County during the Aug. 11 regular council meeting.
Taylor advised the annexation is going as planned and that he intends to contact Navarro County Judge Colby Karhan to advise him of the process.
Karhan was sworn in earlier this month after the resignation of former Judge H.M. Davenport.
By annexing the area, Oak Valley would receive a portion of the revenue from Riot’s ad valorum taxes.
The council also discussed how Riot’s changing technology and potential future plans would affect Oak Valley’s future.
“We’re going to have to be pretty smart about this as we budget,” said Taylor.
The council also heard and accepted all regular and routine reports.
The Fire Chief of the Corbet Oak Valley Volunteer Fire Department, Jeremey Cobb discussed some of the equipment and grants the Department has received including for a water tanker. The department continues to apply for grants to fund additional equipment Cobb said he hopes he never has to use.
“We’re making strides,” he said.
Taylor also advised the council that because of the population of Oak Valley state law allows a Certified Public Accountant to substitute a financial report in place of an annual audit.
The Town of Oak Valley holds its regular council meetings at the Community Center located at 2211 Oak Valley Lane, on the second Tuesday of the month at 6 p.m.
