Development News from the latest meeting
City of Marshall "July 23, 2026" City Council Meeting
Published: Jul 23, 2026
Rezoning Approved for 3.256 Acres on West Grand to General Business
The council conducted a public hearing and approved an ordinance to rezone a 3.256-acre portion of 3011 West Grand from Agricultural and Estate (AE) to General Business (C3). This property is part of a larger seven-acre tract that currently has split zoning, with the existing body shop on I-1 industrial. The rezoned portion will allow for expansion onto the AE-zoned land. The Planning and Zoning (PNZ) Commission had previously recommended approval with a unanimous vote of five to zero on July 14th of the previous year. Staff also recommended approval.
Smith Park Improvements Project Approved; Retainage Released
The council considered and approved the Smith Park Improvements Project, accepting the completed work and authorizing the release of retainage to Casey Sloan Construction. The project involved the removal of the old basketball court, goals, and fence, and the construction of a new concrete basketball court with striping, two new goals, a chain link perimeter fence, and a concrete walking trail. The project was funded through CDBG carryover funds from program year 2024, with Hayes Engineering managing the design, bidding, and construction phases. The final inspections, including Texas Accessibility Standards, confirmed substantial compliance. A ribbon-cutting ceremony is planned.
Council Approves Resolution on Towing Fees for Specialized Recovery Services
The council approved a resolution establishing maximum fees for police-authorized non-consent towing for specialized recovery services. The resolution adopts the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) schedule of equipment rates for certain specialized recovery equipment and makes necessary findings under Texas Occupations Code Chapter 2308. This action follows a request from tow truck drivers for additional fee allowances and provides a standardized, federally recognized schedule for these services.
J2 Construction Awarded SL-390 Utility Relocation Project Contract
The council considered and approved awarding a contract for the SL-390 utility relocation project to J2 Construction out of Longview, Texas, for their bid of $6,533,000. The project had six bids submitted, with J2 Construction being the lowest. The consultant, KSA, noted that J2 Construction had successfully completed two previous, smaller projects for the city, coming in under budget and on time. The city's engineer's estimate for the project was $9.7 million.
City to Seek Bids for WWTP Waterline Project Amidst Right-of-Way Concerns
The council debated and ultimately approved authorizing the advertisement for bids for the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) waterline project. The existing non-potable water well serving the WWTP is being abandoned due to TextDot acquiring the right-of-way. Extending a waterline from the I-20 service road near exit 617 through TextDot right-of-way is considered the most practical solution. Concerns were raised about placing the new waterline within TextDot right-of-way due to potential future expansion, leading to discussions about acquiring private easements as an alternative. The council decided to proceed with advertising for bids while further exploring easement acquisition options.
