Seguin City Council approves park improvements, road design services, change orders, zoning updates and sidewalk fee increases

The Seguin City Council voted to approve a set of capital and planning actions, including a construction contract for Starkey Park Golf Course restroom renovation and a range ball shed, authorization to proceed with the next step on the Nolte (Wells Fargo) redevelopment, additional design services for Cordova Road, a change order on Milam Street tied to utility upgrades, first-reading approval of Unified Development Code sidewalk updates, and an increase to the city’s sidewalk fee-in-lieu schedule. The council also approved several zoning changes and authorized property transactions reported from closed session.

Why it matters: The actions approve both immediate construction work and planning steps that shape future development downtown and along major corridors.
