After a Denton City Council decision on Tuesday, city staff will use money earmarked for future construction on Bonnie Brae Street to help cover millions in taxpayer funding for improvements to the animal shelter and Fire Stations 5 and 6, which have exceeded the amounts voters approved in the 2023 bond.

That was a first in City Manager Paul Stevens’ 30-year career, he said. In response, the city placed Collier on administrative leave the day he was arrested, June 13. Collier resigned on June 15.
