Neighbors who addressed the council said Taylor Road has speeding and limited parking; one neighbor, Melinda Youngblood (2806 Nicole Drive), told the council she shares a backyard fence with the applicant and worried about young children accessing a backyard pool. Another neighbor, Gracie Reyna, told council members the subdivision’s covenants restrict businesses, that on-street parking already strains the block, and that vehicles queuing for drop-off could create hazards. Planning and Zoning staff noted that two property owners opposed the request at the planning commission and that the commission had concerns about traffic because the home sits on a corner.

At the council meeting, a motion to approve the daycare with conditions — a six-month conditional approval tied to installation of a circular drive and limits on enrollment — failed 3–2. During the discussion, staff advised the council that the state regulates childcare licensing and the city cannot impose licensing limits that are more restrictive than state law. Council members also pointed out a scheduled Taylor Road widening project, which staff said is due to be let in September and would take about 24 months to complete; several members expressed concern about construction traffic during that period.

Separately, the council denied a conditional-use permit for a mobile food unit proposed for a Baptist church property. Applicant Ricardo Martinez had proposed moving the truck to the church’s basketball-court area and operating limited hours, and he told the council he would donate proceeds to the church; city staff said the proposed location still violated new distance restrictions in an ordinance adopted earlier limiting where new mobile food units can locate. The council voted 5–0 to deny that application and staff offered to provide the applicant with a map of compliant locations and to seek a fee waiver if he finds a compliant spot and reapplies.

Other conditional-use actions at the meeting included unanimous approvals for a business-name change at 3009 N. Inspiration (a snack shop), approval of Florence Events (an event center at 2722 N. Conway) for two years with no alcohol sales, a one-year renewal for a portable building used by AMPM Roadside and Recovery LLC (applicant said property owner has not allowed permanent construction), approval of Le Petite Pastries for life of use, and an approved amendment allowing Domacino Pizza & Pasta to extend service hours to 2 a.m.","Council rejected a conditional-use permit for a home daycare at Norma Drive and Taylor Road after neighbors raised traffic and safety concerns tied to a pending road widening; the council also denied a mobile food unit request and approved several other CUPs and one-year extension requests.",{"_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},6047637,"Mission accepts two state and federal grants for trails and drainage engineering totaling about $654,710",103,4440000,4543000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3528675-56bb922f87f9330d589934bd69c96c77&start=4440&end=4543","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3528675-56bb922f87f9330d589934bd69c96c77/thumbnail_4440000.jpg","/articles/6047637/Mission/Hidalgo-County/Texas/Mission-accepts-two-state-and-federal-grants-for-trails-and-drainage-engineering-totaling-about-654710","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6047637-0d32af73c233580f3e647e1b5f956259/orig.mp4?Expires=1771185386&Signature=L5cc-XzN7nktWArgMBiIAQQnl9-ADEGkFFP5O~xBtV0yYW12WFur6DY7B58We05433yAaUDZKrjh~mZaMUKlVD2XoNH6DSv9Mb2FszdrmNe8bxRiqKUYxXNq7FL4lvCLCwk5cNL7aYJMwIxJRJfnnpoC8a7-ro-CF7p7YjYjLqcSL9YmUaID5dhdnG9bLUq-p35ORJAEB6xO80uFlduVVNrRhxjRFE0F85mK8ViUNn9w7y3OtH6iGfLTlD0Xt620-XBbIiQRz0siy-IyA03ZnAIm7W3laY1NvmBt4QNHU77hAmjWQ-jG4OlaTr1H0aHJgdsu2Ve8u6-kfn~eOIHpxw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Mission authorized acceptance of two grant awards at Tuesday’s meeting: a Texas Parks and Wildlife Department recreational trails grant in the amount of $250,000 and a Texas Department of Emergency Management BRIC (Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities) grant for $404,710.

City staff said the $250,000 trails grant includes a required 20% cost share the city will provide through in-kind labor (estimated at $50,000) for trail overlay and vegetation cleaning. The city will track staff labor as part of the cost share. The council approved acceptance of the award unanimously.

The $404,710 BRIC grant carries a 28% local cost share. Staff reported the federal share is $290,001.43 and the city’s share is $114,566.11. The BRIC funds will be used for engineering and design of the Sunset and natural land drainage project; staff described the program’s purpose as supporting hazard mitigation activities that promote climate adaptation and resilience. Council voted unanimously to accept that award as well.

City staff and the city manager recommended both acceptances. Councilmembers asked procedural questions about how the in-kind match would be documented; staff said labor hours would be tracked and submitted to the granting agencies. The meeting record did not include construction schedules or project completion dates for either project.","Council authorized acceptance of a Texas Parks and Wildlife recreational trails grant ($250,000) and a TDEM Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) grant ($404,710) for trail improvements and drainage engineering design.",{"_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},6047640,"Mission council adopts ordinance requiring connection to sewer lines within 60 days when improvements fall within 80 feet",128,3506000,3634000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3528675-56bb922f87f9330d589934bd69c96c77&start=3506&end=3634","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3528675-56bb922f87f9330d589934bd69c96c77/thumbnail_3506000.jpg","/articles/6047640/Mission/Hidalgo-County/Texas/Mission-council-adopts-ordinance-requiring-connection-to-sewer-lines-within-60-days-when-improvements-fall-within-80-feet","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6047640-25b061523122b2a087e0e76ea96e091c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771185386&Signature=KKm8dHfOeoRJpvHmLVvuj-nHNJ403Rw6DlVt2cUxfPtjMoDuzXNgQ63IQeWIJ3c1OP80wIp6RIgWFZy13HIbFN06514eDzaZurN~SYrg6QlqNVV8CmQgqYCsJVwCber8cbOjLfkmUUPUzFhbyZkPwmPGF05P9W63ShcqQMc-XT1IOdEMHYIUprn2w3jHvbOt0Lt3aMBMitFIB9EOB3IEjOBzFoRikRcgwW0TY3nnfWmCadXUcqmydojVzgKAaCsDYbukYMUvLOeFO8nuNVZ~n0UHGg2Dmo2kKCu7cY44N2RbmEL2t9H9EYYM3319ckFYv29j9DWBM~LBG-~~g33gNg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Mission approved Ordinance 56-50 on Tuesday, amending Chapter 114 (Utilities) to require property owners to connect discharge lines to a city sanitary sewer line within 60 calendar days when an improvement places a property within 80 feet of that line.

The ordinance repeals and replaces several subsections of Section 114-21. It states that any improvements on property within 80 feet of a sanitary sewer line by way of public right-of-way or easement must connect discharge lines to the sanitary sewer within 60 days after the improvement first brings the property within that distance. The ordinance prohibits keeping a discharge line connected to a septic tank when a sewer connection is required; property owners who fail to connect may be billed for sewer service and, if a septic overflow leads to a health complaint, may face misdemeanor charges or other legal violations as provided by law.

City staff and the city manager recommended approval; the council adopted the ordinance unanimously. The ordinance text, as read at the meeting, prescribes the 80-foot and 60-day thresholds and authorizes the city to bill property owners, tenants or occupants who fail to connect in a timely manner.

Councilmembers did not record extended debate during the adoption; staff answered a council question about whether a structure after 80 feet could be exempt and confirmed the amended language. The ordinance becomes part of the city’s municipal code; the transcript did not list an effective date beyond adoption at the meeting.","Council adopted Ordinance 56-50 amending the utilities code to require property owners to connect discharge lines to sanitary sewer within 60 days when improvements place the property within 80 feet of a sanitary sewer line; enforcement provisions and penalties were included in the ordinance.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6047642,"Mission council approves MOU with school district to swap and donate parcels for flood mitigation",333,1244000,1577000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3528675-56bb922f87f9330d589934bd69c96c77&start=1244&end=1577","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3528675-56bb922f87f9330d589934bd69c96c77/thumbnail_1244000.jpg","/articles/6047642/Mission/Hidalgo-County/Texas/Mission-council-approves-MOU-with-school-district-to-swap-and-donate-parcels-for-flood-mitigation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6047642-5f3f4fa6a9f3acb07a1debea9a8f5cab/orig.mp4?Expires=1771185386&Signature=GIG3bTFdI-74Y-dVoIWSPZNKc1Y-a0K12OiQZD3~y6wt2~gN7YoLfmyIID9q4c8Vtjz28IDf2C9cqSNqu53d5FrYJaeWPVIwE6qmwQMb4M-RCOZzA7vSfR1gB9bFU0dxzM4-LIjZ6U3reg819zK0YmVpFWwZc~caVuQWDflMXWITPFqH0GZkDYkFtHCwrMMKvT7xlfdFojtVb5yi9rC4o2M5-ITECGSjibJ~qAMMXFwVIS06CBfrwtFGrZUEFf-0y~~Rt3p34i1uS9H-o3YgMQsTY-HIl6TpoX1oLtVZJGxAoWVBJxI5WKbZezIcymZMtFf8UeveWWVCHxbYhD8Ogw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The City of Mission on Tuesday approved a memorandum of understanding with Mission Consolidated Independent School District to transfer and use several school-district parcels for local flood mitigation and park improvements.

Under the MOU the district identified two district-owned properties that could assist with drainage: a tract near the corner of Francisco Avenue and Citriana, and the athletic field at Bridal Elementary School. The city agreed to donate a tract at the northeast corner of Bridal Road and Elm Drive for the district to develop overflow parking to support Bryan Elementary School. Mission CISD agreed to donate four landlocked parcels near the Mission pump house along Canal Street and U.S. Highway 83 for expansion or improvement of Leopena Placita Park. The council approved the agreement by unanimous vote.

Why it matters: Council members and school officials said the land exchanges address long-standing drainage problems in parts of Mission and generate community benefits for students and residents. The city manager recommended approval; Mission CISD voted to approve the MOU on May 21, 2025.

City officials described the outcome as a cooperative solution to recurring flooding. Mayor Nori Gonzalez Garza called the agreement “a huge, huge, huge win for our city,” saying the parcels identified had “been a long time issue for the city of Mission as far as drainage was concerned.”

Mission CISD leaders and school board members attended the council meeting. Dr. Chris Valdez, superintendent of schools, said the partnership “will help the whole community, all our children and all of our parents and grandparents,” and called the work “a partnership.” A school board speaker said the district was unanimous in supporting the transfer and hoped the changes would help citizens impacted by flooding.

Council members and district representatives gathered for a ceremonial photograph after the vote. The MOU outlines the parcels and intended public uses but does not specify construction timelines, funding sources, or final engineering plans; those steps will be handled in subsequent interagency coordination and project planning.","The City of Mission and Mission Consolidated Independent School District approved a memorandum of understanding to exchange and donate multiple parcels to support flood mitigation projects and park expansion.","actionData","errors"]
