A resident or HOA had requested three speed humps along Cedar Prairie Drive. Councilmember Tressler moved to postpone and asked staff to evaluate installing additional all‑way stop controls as a speed deterrent before installing physical humps. Several council members and fire/EMS speakers opposed speed humps because of their effect on emergency response times and patient care.

A public safety speaker told the council the International Fire Code requires approval by the fire code official and that fire and ambulance responses are significantly slowed by speed humps. A paramedic commented that patient care in the back of an ambulance is compromised when vehicles repeatedly slow and accelerate over humps. Another councilmember recommended the use of radar speed feedback signs as a less intrusive measure tested in other subdivisions.

The council approved the motion to postpone and directed staff to return with studies on all‑way stop alternatives and other calming measures. The meeting record states the motion passed and staff will report back at a future meeting.

Next steps: Staff will evaluate traffic‑calming alternatives, including stop sign placement and radar feedback signs, and return recommendations to council for consideration. Any installation of speed humps would require fire code official approval before moving forward.

Speakers included councilmembers who made the motion, fire and EMS representatives who described operational impacts to emergency response, and staff who summarized legal and code constraints.","The council delayed approval of three speed humps on Cedar Prairie Drive after public safety and emergency-response objections, and asked staff to study multi‑way stops and alternative traffic calming measures.",{"_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},6585304,"League City council adopts FY2026 budget after public hearing",215,1505000,1720000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5682447-4278d2472c8916d91e6d6727e75dc956&start=1505&end=1720","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5682447-4278d2472c8916d91e6d6727e75dc956/thumbnail_1505000.jpg","/articles/6585304/League-City/Galveston-County/Texas/League-City-council-adopts-FY2026-budget-after-public-hearing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6585304-06f5dafefcb40d165da23dc1d2a37d5d/orig.mp4?Expires=1770405047&Signature=GywK1UBXH8uI1uGCIWIpswn9uOTrCjcraedkLcuReQkAjuBjVPHEa~GxE9USEzZV0w7UnbPOPV0cq6fr1rezSBQPKUPdewOpUFFST9NggdjZruysnM6SjxxeuNdHSPY7n-sMdOH4P4xY~B4N-FjI36kh-vocnDHg1OJmWeEZaVdmchLH3X3VlynRkJbgHUD-N2LiV4u3MLZRpUAOFHS--FE463nyh49q0v~ulN14-HG-j1OQa-qh0UESOp5aSLhusf1ZwXqgO-w7-VM5g9pXpOJSn-647LDJl1GsPeJCMyPcUchIqWYo3Q-u1-vTaKdcdZzPsuO~5Rl8Ym86ARKx0A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The League City Council adopted the city’s fiscal year 2026 budget at its Aug. 26 meeting after holding a public hearing and taking public comment.

The public hearing on the FY2026 proposed annual budget opened and closed at the meeting. Resident Peggy Sailor, who attended budget workshops, spoke during public comment, saying she appreciated the opportunity to review the materials and urged council to plan for long‑term resiliency amid changing state legislation.

Council then considered an ordinance adopting the annual budget for governmental and proprietary funds for FY2026. A motion to approve was made and the council voted to adopt the budget; the meeting record states, “Motion passes 7 4 1 against.” The city clerk’s official minutes should be consulted for the formal roll call and final accounting entries.

Why it matters: Adoption of the annual budget authorizes city spending and sets priorities for capital and operating funds for the coming fiscal year. Council members and commenters referenced statewide fiscal pressures and the need for long‑range planning to preserve affordability and infrastructure funding.

Next steps: The adopted budget will be implemented by city departments and reflected in departmental appropriation and procurement actions governed by city finance procedures. Any adjustments will follow subsequent amendment processes and require council action.

Council considered SUP-25-0002, a request to allow a self‑storage use on roughly 3.0552 acres at the northeast corner of League City Parkway and Bay Area Boulevard within Magnolia Creek PUD. Planning and Zoning had recommended approval. The application had been postponed at the Aug. 12 meeting and returned to council with additional materials and neighborhood outreach documented.

Why it matters: neighbors objected to placing storage—an industrial‑style use—near residences; council members weighed the applicant’s design changes, HOA engagement and site constraints. Council discussion focused on aesthetics, lighting and whether the developer had negotiated acceptable design controls with the HOA.

Multiple council members said the developer had worked with the HOA and made concessions. One councilmember noted receiving a letter from the HOA stating the board supported the revised aesthetics. Others said that, because the parcel is zoned general commercial, many commercial uses could otherwise occupy the site, and the special‑use permit gave the city a chance to approve design commitments specific to storage.

Council voted to approve the SUP after discussion. The meeting record shows the motion passed; the transcript records the chair announcing, “Motion passes 7 4 1 against.” The planning staff noted lighting on new development must be full cutoff and illuminate only the development side so as to avoid light trespass onto adjacent lots.

Next steps: The permit will be administratively processed consistent with the approved conditions. City staff said lighting and screening requirements in the development plan will be enforced during permitting.

The council considered SUP-24-0005, a request to allow a car wash on about 1.1 acres at 2464 Marina Bay Drive (FM 2094). The application had been recommended for approval by Planning and Zoning. The public hearing opened and closed with members of the public and council addressing potential traffic, stacking and cut-through risks on nearby Davis Road and Marina Bay Drive.

Why it matters: residents and at least one council member said the site sits at a congested commercial entrance that already backs up during afternoon peak school and shopping traffic. Council discussion emphasized vehicle stacking, pedestrian and bicycle trail impacts, and the prospect of additional nearby development that will add more homes and vehicle trips.

Councilmember Eigenbaum said, “I’m a no on this SUP,” and laid out concerns that the Davis Road entrance is a two‑lane dead end with nearby schools, apartment complexes and new residential development that will increase congestion. A representative for the applicant, identifying himself as a developer partner and construction specialist with National Car Wash Solutions, said the design would include stacking space for more than 25 vehicles and a “bailout lane” that would be blocked off except for emergencies or oversized vehicles. He also said the site plan would include extra landscaping to screen the facility from the adjacent trail.

Despite the developer’s remarks about design changes and landscaping, the council concluded the project was not appropriate for that location. The mayor announced the motion did not pass; the transcript records the chair saying, “It does not pass,” and records an unclear numeric roll call in the meeting record. The city clerk’s official minutes should be consulted for the final vote tally.

Council action and next steps: No ordinance or permit was adopted; the special‑use permit application was not approved. The applicant may revise and resubmit or pursue another site. The city did not identify any immediate follow-up assignments at the meeting.
