The Fulshear City Council meeting on September 16, 2025, focused on several key issues, including council redistricting and economic development projects.
A significant discussion centered around the proposed redistricting plans, with four variations presented to the council. After deliberation, there was a consensus that Plan 3C was the most favorable option. This plan aims to keep the Bonterra neighborhood intact within District 4 while also maintaining the Fort Brooke and Fulshear Creek neighborhoods together. The total population deviation for this plan is within acceptable limits, aligning with school district boundaries, which was a priority for the council. The council voted unanimously to approve Plan 3C, which will take effect after the next election cycle.
In addition to redistricting, the council addressed multiple resolutions related to economic development projects. These projects, previously included in the budget, required additional readings for formal approval. The council passed resolutions 2025-683 and 2025-684, authorizing projects for both the Type A and Type B Economic Development Sales Tax Corporations. These approvals are part of the city's ongoing efforts to enhance local economic growth.
Lastly, the council discussed adopting commercial filming guidelines, a move aimed at making Fulshear a film-friendly city. This initiative is the final step required by the Texas Film Commission, signaling the city's commitment to attracting film and media projects.
Overall, the meeting highlighted the council's proactive approach to community planning and economic development, setting the stage for future growth and collaboration within Fulshear.
