Navasota City Council has taken significant steps to enhance local infrastructure and services following their recent meeting on April 2, 2025. The council unanimously approved Ordinance 10 69-25, which includes amendments to a previous referendum, marking a pivotal moment in the city’s legislative agenda.

In a key financial move, the council also adopted Ordinance 10 70-25, authorizing the issuance and sale of combination tax and limited surplus revenue certificates of obligation. This decision allows the city to raise up to $1,785,000 to fund critical projects, including renovations to the Navasota Municipal Pool, the design and engineering of a new fire station, and the replacement of the public library roof.
