During a recent government meeting in Colleyville, community members expressed their gratitude as a local store prepares to change ownership, highlighting the positive impact the store has had on the community. The sentiment was shared by several attendees, who acknowledged the outgoing owner’s contributions and expressed optimism for the new owner’s success.

The meeting also featured the first reading and public hearing of Ordinance 0-24-2280, which aims to adopt the City of Colleyville's Water Conservation and Drought Contingency Plan for 2024. Amber Beard, a representative from the city’s water department, explained that the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) mandates the city to have a drought contingency plan and to update it every five years. The updated plan focuses on promoting water conservation and managing drought conditions effectively.

Beard noted that while the plan includes updated statistics, there were no substantial changes from the previous version. The ordinance includes a penalty of up to $2,000 for violations and will undergo a second reading and public hearing at the next council meeting.

The meeting concluded with a public hearing segment, where no additional comments were made regarding the water department's efforts. The council members expressed appreciation for the quick response of city staff in addressing water-related issues, reinforcing the community's trust in their local government.
