The Bastrop City Council approved a package of routine and individual items April 22, including ordinances, a budget amendment, acceptance of corporate donations, and a professional-services amendment for roadway design.
Key outcomes at a glance: - Ordinances on first reading approved on the consent agenda: Ordinance 2025-17 (animal control/microchipping), Ordinance 2025-41 (cemetery and columbarium updates), Ordinance 2025-42 (project development agreement with Engaging Train Technologies under Omni Partners for a new high-efficiency wastewater facility).

- Professional services amendment: Council authorized Amendment No. 2 to the Kimley-Horn professional services agreement to add design work connecting Blacktail Drive to the Agnes Street extension. Staff said the amendment is for design only; if the addition is included in construction, a later amendment and contract modification would be brought forward.
