City reviews piecemeal annexation amid club road plea
Odessa City Council preliminarily approves a piecemeal annexation of parts of a 360 acre subdivision along the Ector Midland county line. Dick Hickerson asks to exclude the Odessa Country Club until an access road to U.S. Highway 80 is built, offering land for the road and sewer lines. The measure passes 4-1 with Vern Foreman in opposition. Ridgewood exclusion reduces the original 600 acre proposal to 360 acres.

Dean Held In Contempt Over Infant Death Papers
A judge held UT Health Science Center dean Dr. Marvin Dunn in criminal contempt for withholding papers linked to an infant death inquiry at Medical Center Hospital in San Antonio. Prosecutors argued the materials were subpoenaed and relevant to a grand jury probe spanning 11 months, which led to the indictment of nurse Genene Jones. Rothe notes the October disclosures mention a named individual and facts about that person, with ongoing investigations into hospital officials’ handling of the case.
