Summary

Council approved Resolution 1500 to enter a multi-year agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation to allow temporary closure of specified roads for annual city events including MLK, Cinco de Mayo, Juneteenth, Christmas and Fourth of July parades and festivals.

The Brookshire City Council on May 14 approved Resolution 1500 establishing a multi-year agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation to close specified roads for recurring City events.

City staff explained the resolution covers annual events — including Martin Luther King Jr. Day observances, Cinco de Mayo, Juneteenth, Christmas and Fourth of July parades and certain festivals — and allows the city to obtain TxDOT approval for closures such as Highway 90 to accommodate routes to Hovis Park. The change replaces the prior practice of seeking street-closure authorization for each event separately; the resolution authorizes a five-year arrangement covering multiple events.

Council members voted to approve Resolution 1500 by motion and voice vote. The resolution is intended to streamline event planning and public-safety coordination with TxDOT for future parades and festivals.
