City Council Meeting July 20, 2026
Published: Jul 20, 2026
City Approves Bond Intent and Grant Applications for Water Infrastructure Projects
The city council approved resolutions related to the issuance of general obligation bonds and the application for water infrastructure and stormwater enhancement grants. Resolution 202633, a notice of intent to issue $33 million in general obligation bonds, is the first step in financing major capital projects and does not obligate the city to issue the debt. Resolution 202635 appoints the City Manager as the chief executive officer for grant applications related to waterline replacement and upsizing along FM 2920 and Main Street. Resolution 202636 designates authorized signatories for these grant applications.
City Council Reviews Proposed Budget with Focus on Tax Rate Stability and Infrastructure Funding
The city council reviewed the proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year, highlighting key dates for tax rate adoption, budget meetings, and final adoptions. The budget proposal includes allocations for capital projects, personnel, and operational expenses, with a focus on maintaining a flat tax rate despite significant debt issuance for infrastructure improvements. Discussions also covered sales tax performance, property tax value growth projections, and the financial health of the general and enterprise funds.
Multifamily Development Proposal Denied by Planning and Zoning, Sent Back for Reconsideration
The city council considered a request to rezone a 3.015-acre property located at 15226 FM 2920 from Agricultural (AG) to Planned Development (PD) for a 48-unit multifamily development. The property is adjacent to existing commercial zoning and is part of a larger tract intended for commercial use. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended denial, citing concerns about the property size for a PD, lack of sufficient amenities, and resident feedback against increased multifamily housing. The council ultimately decided to take no action, sending the request back to the Planning and Zoning Commission for further review, potentially for commercial zoning.
Small Agricultural Parcel Rezoned to General Retail to Align with Adjacent Commercial Property
The council approved a rezoning request for a small, .36-acre parcel of land from Agricultural (AG) to General Retail (GR). This parcel is adjacent to a larger tract already zoned General Retail and owned by the same applicant, Spas Unlimited. The rezoning aims to consolidate the zoning designations and allow for potential expansion of the applicant's existing business operations, such as parking or signage, which are restricted under the current agricultural zoning.
