The council also adopted a package of amendments to Chapter 28 (the Coordinated Development Ordinance) after staff agreed to two technical edits requested during the meeting.

The audit: The council approved the FY 2024 audit as presented by Daniel Hebert of Crowe LLP. Hebert said the auditors anticipated issuing an unmodified (clean) opinion and noted the city ended the year with approximately $352 million in total assets and about $296 million in net position. The general fund ended the year with an ending fund balance of about $14.9 million, which Hebert said equates to roughly 11 months of operating expenditures.

Interlocal agreement for park access: Council approved an interlocal agreement allowing Fort Bend County to use part of the city's right of way on Fulshear‑Katy Road to provide parking and other improvements for a county project described in the meeting packet as an \"All Abilities\" park. City staff said the city retains ownership of the right of way; the agreement grants use for the county's park construction and related parking. The county plans to put the project out to bid after commissioners court considers the interlocal agreement.

Irene Stern facility fees: Council approved amendments to the master fee schedule related to Irene Stern Community Center rentals. Staff said the center's rental program has increased in use and that prior cleaning and staff costs were not fully recovered. Under the changes, the city will add or adjust cleaning fees, a flat setup fee, and revise minimum rental hours and hourly rates; staff said nonprofits and resident groups will retain favorable pricing compared with nonresidents.

Wireless tower SUP: The council approved Ordinance No. 2025‑1482, granting a specific‑use permit for a 150‑foot monopole wireless tower at 6510 FM 359 in the industrial district. The applicant noted AT&T would be the first carrier on the tower; the city's staff report said the proposal meets city spacing and design requirements and allows for future collocation.

Coordinated Development Ordinance (CDO) amendments: The council adopted a package of CDO amendments (Ordinance No. 2025‑1481) covering multiple sections of Chapter 28. Staff said the ordinance contains around 15 changes ranging from updating definitions (for example, clarifying \"dry cleaning facility\" vs. \"establishment\") to parking and building‑design standards, limits on certain uses in particular zoning districts, and updated stormwater/low‑impact development (LID) options. During the meeting staff agreed to remove a proposed requirement that gas stations provide two on‑site EV chargers and to correct a drafting error in the dry‑cleaning language. Council approved the ordinance with those edits.

How the votes were recorded: Each of the above motions passed by general voice vote; minutes and the official ordinance resolutions will carry the formal record. No roll‑call tallies were read into the public record during the meeting for these motions.

What's next: Staff said the county will take the interlocal agreement to Fort Bend Commissioners Court. Staff also said the city will implement the Irene Stern fee changes and that permits and records for the tower will proceed according to the special‑use permit schedule. The adopted CDO changes take effect as stated in the ordinance text.

McDaniel said he and other residents install irrigation meters to avoid paying sewer charges on water that does not enter the sewer system, but that during months when irrigation is turned off he continues to be billed a roughly $13.44 base charge despite using no water.

City staff response
- Staff explained that since the city adopted a winter averaging policy a few years ago, sewer charges are calculated to exclude most irrigation use, and that irrigation meters were originally used to prevent sewer billing on irrigation water when winter averaging did not exist.
- The city reported there are 148 residential irrigation meters. Staff said removing an irrigation meter is an option and can be done at no charge; removing a meter saves the meter maintenance costs and the monthly base charge, and the physical meter can be redeployed elsewhere in the system.
- Staff noted a citywide utility rate study is under way (or about to be launched) and that staff can request the consultant examine how irrigation meters and base‑rate treatments should be structured; staff also said it is not necessary to add that study specifically for the small number of residential irrigation meters but can include an analysis if council wishes.

Council and staff direction
- Council asked staff to notify residential irrigation‑meter owners about the option to remove their meter and explained that staff will handle such requests on a case‑by‑case basis if owners ask for removal.
- For commercial irrigation meters (the city reported there are 347 commercial irrigation meters), staff said those accounts are managed separately and typically involve larger base rates and irrigation demand; council indicated commercial meters likely should remain in place because many are required for landscape obligations and higher irrigation volumes.

Quotes
- \"I feel it's like taxation without representation — being charged for product I'm not really getting,\" resident CJ McDaniel said of the base charge.
- \"If they don't want it, they ask, we'll remove it,\" a utilities staff member told council when describing the removal procedure.

What this means: Staff will notify residential irrigation‑meter customers of the removal option. No formal policy or ordinance change occurred at the meeting; staff said the existing winter averaging policy and the pending utility rate study provide the framework to evaluate longer‑term rate structure changes if council requests that analysis.","A Cross Creek Ranch resident told the Fulshear City Council on March 18 he is being charged a $13.44 base fee on an irrigation meter even when he uses no irrigation water; staff said 148 residential irrigation meters are active and that owners may request meter removal at no charge.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6631716,"City says Water Plant No. 2 is filling; small tank leak found and will be fixed within a week",146,1163000,1309000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2679688-05ec0af9a3e8b5eada7b0b50a989f13f&start=1163&end=1309","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2679688-05ec0af9a3e8b5eada7b0b50a989f13f/thumbnail_1163000.jpg","/articles/6631716/Fulshear/Fort-Bend-County/Texas/City-says-Water-Plant-No-2-is-filling-small-tank-leak-found-and-will-be-fixed-within-a-week","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6631716-9119ddf3d7cadedd334bea6a85ce1acd/orig.mp4?Expires=1770443898&Signature=EgLpInPGPhXohvw6rARur6SbiZNVC10u5tNMLk9Oi9Uk9OdFbxJxKtvWL5f~nEv0~9rtCbVLtvRE3JMcG7QICo21OKviMnTnsaNu00PTvc3SJzjVRlpZ3nyBnt768AL3LC~jmlLWF8sQzzBu1NZIMCLlTafm0ZiytJqIRk6BoVrcbX0o~RCDKOa4S1tGCrVzMVAwiJnWcGS~-Cp-WzJd8SgwuU-cOL0srr7CJppoBWpVPwa4FEzfOCRZZ7L2pBiX00U3Nf~ZjhlJssw66un1GksWxhLxv8iypO6vU6Q2JYp5d6ekUnqqNd19CaV6TlT~YuXtE5rURGp53zo1Vzq7gA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City utilities staff briefed the Fulshear City Council on March 18 about construction and commissioning activity at Water Plant No. 2 (Pecan Knoll) and related system projects.

What staff reported
- Elevated storage tank (water tower): Staff said the city is currently filling the elevated storage tank and that during filling crews found a small leak in the manway area (an access opening). Staff expects the leak to be fixed within about one week. Once repairs and filling are complete the city will perform bacteriological (BAC T) sampling and then place the tank into service; staff estimated the tank will be fully online within the next two weeks and provide approximately one million gallons of additional elevated storage capacity.
- Plant construction status: Staff reported the overall Water Plant No. 2 (Pecan Knoll) construction is approximately 65% complete based on dollars spent and about 69% complete based on days. Remaining work includes final installation of well discharge piping and completion of other ground storage elements; the ground storage tank inlet piping and supports were recently installed and piping from Lew Waters Parkway to the elevated tank has been disinfected and passed testing.
- Other system work: City staff noted other ongoing improvements at the downtown water plant and an altitude valve scheduled for April. A separate part delay (held in customs) was keeping some downtown plant work on hold. City staff also discussed a pneumatic pumping rental currently in place as standby support in the system; rental cost was reported at roughly $4,000 per month and staff said it is being retained as a precaution while elevated storage and other improvements are completed.

Questions and context
- Council asked whether the pneumatic pumping asset would remain through summer; staff said the unit is relatively inexpensive compared with the risk and will remain on standby until the elevated storage reliably stabilizes the system.
- Staff described coordination with the MUDs (municipal utility districts) on smart‑meter funding and said the combined improvements aim to increase system capacity and resiliency.

Implications
Staff indicated the added elevated storage will improve distribution capacity and help meet seasonal demand. The council did not take formal action on the report but accepted the update and asked staff to bring project timing and budget details to future meetings if major changes occur.","City staff told council that the elevated storage tank at Water Plant No. 2 (Pecan Knoll) is being filled, a small leak in a manway was discovered and staff expects repairs within a week; the tank will undergo BACT sampling and be placed online after testing, adding about 1 million gallons of elevated storage.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6631721,"Council hears citywide pavement condition index; sets target to keep roads in satisfactory or better condition",1022,2740000,3762000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2679688-05ec0af9a3e8b5eada7b0b50a989f13f&start=2740&end=3762","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2679688-05ec0af9a3e8b5eada7b0b50a989f13f/thumbnail_2740000.jpg","/articles/6631721/Fulshear/Fort-Bend-County/Texas/Council-hears-citywide-pavement-condition-index-sets-target-to-keep-roads-in-satisfactory-or-better-condition","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6631721-c97a3d0ba5358d3b79f33c2733ac2aa7/orig.mp4?Expires=1770443898&Signature=BSKOfTTLuNhnVwlyl1Zzr9AqTSKMia6ibfbyXpvi3NUvLzuim~Y~hFVBTnx2FzYoFAgLjYBJuU9YwcLgtFwBKnDEndwkI0y1hMgpU~WxgA3cuXLF5icmn7YhMRf3zSwd8emmK7gqSVJ656FLzEaZ8nbtbGvKdA3aMnbXfIJ1mM9OPjMqDgD4X6~-hx3s4WxuYqv4zxg0B69TJrm0OQKgrZH39qQLXef90DbvERfH9DjodxUn2XDVVEC9VkQiWiamMhNB6CZdGOxq7l1l1e9Yt0RJH227TcURDAMP6RouYoMecdsmE3qKsGZoa7-RE5RwRJM-YPpWrBLh6qsl~neZ7A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Fulshear City Council received a presentation March 18 on a new citywide pavement condition index (PCI) and an associated pavement‑management approach intended to guide maintenance and capital spending.

Cliff Goodlander, city staff, summarized the scope: the study conducted by KSA Engineers (now part of Pape Dawson) evaluated roadway surfaces, sidewalks and signage, and produced a GIS‑linked inventory staff can use to schedule maintenance. Consultant Bill Carrillo said the PCI assigns a score from 0 to 100 based on observed surface distresses; higher scores indicate better pavement condition. Carrillo briefed the council on typical treatment types (preventive maintenance, rehabilitation such as mill‑and‑overlay, and full reconstruction) and on cost relationships—preventive work is far cheaper in lifecycle terms than reconstruction.

Key findings and next steps
- The consultant reported that more than 95% of roadway lane miles are in the city's highest categories (new/good condition); areas of older pavement with greater wear are concentrated in the historic downtown sector and along portions of Bois D'Arc/Bodark Lane. The study identified roughly 352 sidewalk locations that meet the city's defect criteria and created a database for repairs.
- Carrillo described PCI as a planning tool to catch pavements early on the life‑cycle curve, before they require expensive reconstruction.
- Staff said the full survey and the base GIS dataset represent an initial investment; future rescans would be targeted and significantly cheaper.

Council direction: The council debated whether to use a target of \"fair or better\" or a stricter threshold. Council members said Fulshear's overall high score justifies a more protective standard. Council reached consensus to adopt a target of \"satisfactory or better\" (the staff reference ranged roughly to a 70–75 PCI boundary) as the planning threshold for preventative and maintenance work. Staff said the PCI results will inform the city's pavement management and be used to prioritize projects in future budgets; staff recommended rescanning in about five years given the current high average condition.

Quotes
- \"For every dollar of preventive maintenance, a rehabilitative project is about three times more expensive and reconstruction roughly 15 times more expensive,\" consultant Bill Carrillo told the council.
- \"This gives us a good starting point so we can be proactive rather than reactive,\" said Cliff Goodlander, city utilities/public works staff.

What this means for budgeting: Staff said the PCI and the GIS inventory will be referenced in the 5‑year capital and maintenance planning cycle; because the overall network score is high, staff indicated rescans could be spaced out (e.g., five or six years) and future updates could be targeted to downtown and corridors seeing greater wear.

Evidence: The PCI presentation and the council's consensus were recorded in the meeting packet and the March 18 staff presentation.","City staff and consultant presented a citywide pavement condition index (PCI) showing more than 93% of streets in good condition.

Staff described the package as about 15 targeted edits meant to clarify definitions, improve pedestrian design in and near the downtown core, and adjust development standards for specific uses.

Major items adopted (summary)
- Gas stations: Staff initially proposed adding two conditions for new gas stations in the downtown district (an emergency power source and a minimum of two EV chargers). During the meeting staff agreed to remove the EV‑charger requirement; the requirement for an emergency power source (generator or equivalent) remains under discussion. Council members questioned whether a mandatory EV requirement would be a burdensome market mandate for private business. Staff agreed to remove the EV chargers requirement before final ordinance publication.
- Dry cleaning: The ordinance clarifies the distinction between a \"dry cleaning establishment\" (drop‑off/pick‑up) and a \"dry cleaning facility\" (where actual solvent‑based cleaning occurs). Staff flagged and corrected a drafting error to ensure the facility (where chemicals are used) remains limited to appropriate industrial areas while the drop‑off/pick‑up use remains allowed in commercial areas.
- Downtown single‑family housing: The revision removes single‑family detached homes as a new permitted use in the downtown district going forward but adds an explicit note preserving existing single‑family detached homes located within the district prior to the ordinance's effective date. Those existing homes will be able to seek permits for repair, reconstruction or modification subject to current ordinances and setback rules.
- Low Impact Development (LID): The amendments remove a previously offered option (20% porous paving in parking areas) and add permeable sidewalk options among other LID choices; staff advised the council that options applied to rights of way could be more costly to maintain but remain legitimate LID approaches.
- Parking and sign clarifications: Off‑site parking distance limits were adjusted (600 feet to 1,200 feet in certain downtown contexts) to promote pedestrian activity and a gridded block pattern in the historic core; master sign plan permit language was added to the sign table for consistency.
- Porches and building articulation: Covered front porches in the downtown district were revised from a percentage‑based minimum to a flat 100‑square‑foot minimum for clarity; major building articulation minimums were increased from 2‑foot insets to 10‑foot insets and from 30% to 40% of building length, to strengthen pedestrian‑oriented facades.
- Drive‑throughs: The proposed amendments limit drive‑throughs within the downtown district. Council discussion favored restricting drive‑throughs to major thoroughfares (for example, state routes such as FM 359 and FM 1093) rather than allowing new drive‑throughs within the downtown core; staff will reflect the council's direction in the final ordinance language.

Staff edits and outcome
At council request staff removed the EV‑charger requirement for gas stations and corrected the dry‑cleaning definition error. With those edits the council approved Ordinance No. 2025‑1481 amending articles 2, 3, 4, 7 and 9 of Chapter 28. Staff said existing, lawfully established uses (including currently operating dry‑cleaning facilities and single‑family homes in downtown) would remain under standard nonconforming‑use provisions, with the additional clarifications made in the ordinance to allow repairs and permitted modifications.

Quotes
- \"If there's something that's worth going [to downtown], they'll walk the quarter mile,\" a staff member said while explaining off‑site parking distances.
- \"We feel like we've reached that quota\" of single‑family detached units in downtown, a staff presenter said when explaining the decision to disallow new single‑family detached construction in the downtown district.

Next steps
Staff will publish the final ordinance text with the agreed edits; building permit applicants and property owners should consult the updated Chapter 28 text for specific standards and any transition provisions that apply to existing uses.","Council adopted a package of Coordinated Development Ordinance (Chapter 28) amendments covering definitions, parking and building articulation, front‑porch sizing, LID options and other items; staff removed a proposed requirement for two EV chargers at gas stations and corrected a drafting error clarifying dry‑cleaning facilities.","actionData","errors"]
