Council approves Kimley‑Horn contract for Fate downtown drainage conceptual master plan
Summary
The City of Fate approved a professional engineering services agreement with Kimley‑Horn for a downtown drainage conceptual master plan; the city council authorized staff to execute the contract with funding split between the MDD and the city’s storm‑drain fund.
The Fate City Council on May 19 unanimously approved Resolution R2025‑029, awarding a professional engineering services agreement to Kimley‑Horn and Associates for a downtown drainage conceptual master plan.
Why it matters: downtown drainage has been a recurring local infrastructure concern. The study targets detailed drainage needs in the core business district, including stormwater outlets, inlet spacing and downstream connections, and will inform future project prioritization and funding.
Staff presentation: a city staff member explained the study area and funding split to the council and the earlier meeting of the Municipal Development District (MDD). The total contract amount with Kimley‑Horn is $75,000. The MDD approved a contribution of $50,000 toward the detailed business‑core component; the city’s storm‑drain fund will cover the remaining contract balance.
Council action: a councilmember moved approval; the motion was seconded and passed 7–0.
Next steps: the firm will begin the conceptual master‑planning work for the downtown area identified in staff materials. The plan will include a focused, detailed look at core parcels and a broader master‑plan area; staff will report progress back to council and the MDD.
