The term limit election for Grapevine mayor and City Council will be May 11, the council decided at its Feb. 5 meeting.

None of the positions currently have limits on the number of three-year terms that can be served.

Mayor William D. Tate has served the longest — he was elected to council in 1972 and has been mayor since 1973 except from 1985-88.

The charter amendment election was required after a group gathered enough petition signatures last fall to have it placed on the ballot.

The limits would allow three consecutive three-year terms at a time.
