Little Elm police have 125 older Tasers they no longer need, and the Town Council is set to give them away Tuesday to two agencies that do: the Prosper ISD Police Department and the Red River County Sheriff's Office.

The handover is on the consent agenda for the Nov. 3 meeting as Resolution No. 1103202601. The resolution lists 62 Taser X2 units and 63 Taser X26P units by serial number. Police Chief Rodney Harrison is the staff contact on the item, which says the department chose to donate the devices after learning both agencies needed them. Staff list no budget impact.

The agenda does not say how the 125 devices would be split between the school district's police force and the sheriff's office. The resolution cites Chapter 263 of the Texas Local Government Code, which allows governmental bodies to exchange property with one another on whatever terms they agree to.

Consent items are normally approved together in a single vote unless a council member asks to pull one for discussion.

Folklórico dancers and a delayed rezoning

Earlier in the evening, Mayor Curtis J. Cornelious is scheduled to present a proclamation honoring Little Elm ISD's Ballet Folklórico programs. According to the proclamation, nearly 200 students take part at Little Elm High School, Jerry R. Walker Middle School, Oak Point Elementary and Hackberry Elementary, and the high school also offers a Folklórico Dance I class.

The high school group competed at the 2026 North Texas Ballet Folklórico Contest and plans to return in 2027, and the dancers have performed at the town's Autumn Festival and Hispanic Heritage Celebration.

The council will also open a public hearing on a proposal for 150 townhomes and a Montessori school for up to 300 students on about 21 acres northwest of West Eldorado Parkway and Oak Grove Parkway. Staff are again asking the council to table it, this time until Nov. 17.

Their report says the developer changed the site plan after the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval in June, and that the revised plan "still does not comply with Town standards."

Other business includes a workshop presentation for Class 11 of the Citizens Government Academy and a proclamation naming Nov. 2-6 Municipal Court Week. The workshop starts at 6 p.m. at Town Hall, 100 W. Eldorado Parkway, with the regular session to follow.
