In the last meeting of the year, Sachse City Council on Dec. 7, swore in the newest councilmember, named a new mayor pro tem and approved a design for the J.K. Sachse Park.

Mayor Michael Felix ad­ministered the oath of office for Place 3 Councilmember Frank Millsap, who defeated Paul Watkins in the November election.

Councilmember Brett Franks was named mayor pro tem by unanimous vote after a nomina­tion from Councilmember Jeff Bickerstaff.

The council voted to approve a design recommended by the Sachse Parks Board for the up­coming J.K. Sachse Park. Kim­ley-Horn had previously pre­sented two concepts, A and B, to the parks board, who voted on A after incorporating a few minor changes from B.
