In a 4-3 vote at the May 5 regular meeting, Denton City Council renewed the city’s land lease with the Denton Woman's Club for its building at Quakertown Park.

The details: Mayor Gerard Hudspeth and council members Joe Holland, Jill Jester and Brandon McGee voted to approve the lease. It includes an initial 20-year term with two optional 10-year renewals for a total possible term of 40 years.

What they’re saying: Several Denton citizens suggested postponing the lease renewal to allow more time for public input and community engagement on the lease and uses for the land and building, including future District 1 representative Jordan Villarreal.

On the other hand: Denton Woman’s club member Lindsey Miller supported the lease renewal, saying the club has paid to maintain the building and the building serves an important civic function.

On May 26, Denton County Republican voters will choose their nominee for Denton County Commissioners Court, Precinct 4, between David Wylie and Valerie Roehrs.

The big picture: The Republican race for Denton County Commissioners Court, Precinct 4, advanced to a May runoff election after no candidate received at least 50% of the vote in the March 3 primary.

Wylie and Roehrs were the candidates who received the most votes out of the four candidates who initially ran, according to previous reporting.

Wylie earned  36.86% of the votes while Roehrs secured 23.17%. The pair advanced to the runoff over current Denton Mayor Gerard Hudspeth and incumbent Dianne Edmondson.

The winner of the May 26 runoff race will face Democratic nominee Stephanie Draper in the November midterm election. The winner of that race will earn the Precinct 4 seat, and their term will start in January 2027.

Preparing for the polls: Runoff election day is May 26. For more information about the state and local races on your runoff ballot, visit communityimpact.com/election.
