Missouri City approved two interlocal agreements with Fort Bend County on Oct. 20 to address local road repairs and interim rehabilitation.

Knights Court: Council authorized an interlocal agreement with Fort Bend County for design and construction work on Knights Court from State Highway 6 to Thompson Ferry Road. Joy Johnson, interim director of public works, said the agreement was for $1,500,000 and covers design and construction scoped to include a mill/overlay, striping and a mill turn lane. Johnson told council the $1.5 million figure is the county’s contribution and represents the anticipated total cost for the project; the city would cover any overages if necessary. Councilmember Riley moved the item and Mayor Pro Tem Brown Marshall seconded; the council adopted the agreement by a 7–0 roll call.

Glen Lakes: The council also approved an interlocal agreement with Fort Bend County for interim design and rehabilitation work on portions of Glen Lakes Lane, for which the county will contribute $3,000,000. Johnson said the full reconstruction of Glen Lakes is estimated at about $14 million; the current $3 million contribution primarily covers design and may be used for interim repairs or full rehabilitation of select panels until a future mobility bond program funds full reconstruction. Staff said design work must begin within 90 days of executing the agreement. Councilmember questions confirmed the interim work will focus on full panel replacements (not short-term pothole repairs), and staff said the interim work will be designed to tie into and be useful for any future full reconstruction. Sidewalk additions were discussed but staff said additional right-of-way would likely be required where sidewalks do not currently exist. Councilmember Brown Marshall moved the Glen Lakes item; Councilmember Emery seconded and the motion passed 7–0.

Staff said the Glen Lakes interlocal is written to be flexible so that if design costs do not consume the full $3 million, remaining funds can be applied to interim repairs to provide relief until full reconstruction occurs under a future bond program.
