At a glance: Navasota City Council votes and formal actions from Jan. 13 meeting
Summary
The council approved several ordinances, resolutions and a large pool contract on Jan. 13; a major residential rezoning (Altamira PUD) was adopted and a second PUD (Stoneridge Phase 2A) was postponed for further work.
The Navasota City Council recorded multiple formal actions during its Jan. 13 meeting. Below is a concise summary of each vote or formal action taken; for items that lacked roll‑call tallies in the public record, the outcome description is drawn from the meeting minutes and voice votes.
- Landmark Aquatic contract (Item 5): Contract award for pool renovations in the amount of $690,580; motion included authority for the mayor to negotiate, approve and execute the final agreement subject to city attorney review and a 10% owner contingency. Outcome: approved by voice vote.
- Ordinance 1061‑25 (Item 6): Rezoned approx. 96.618 acres to the Altamira Planned Unit Development (Altamira PUD), authorizing mixed residential and commercial development and related standards. Motion by Council Member Stevens, second by Council Member Kessler. Outcome: ordinance adopted.
- Ordinance 1063‑25 (Item 8): Annexation of approximately 1.279 acres in the city’s industrial district (John Moore League tract described in the agenda). Motion and second on the record; outcome: ordinance adopted.
- Ordinance 1064‑25 (Item 10): Authorized participation with Entergy Service Area Cities and retained counsel and experts to represent the city in Entergy Texas rate matters at the Public Utility Commission of Texas. Outcome: approved.
- Resolution 783‑25 (Item 11): Conveyance of Horlock House property to heirs and authorization for the mayor to execute necessary closing documents. Outcome: approved.
- Resolution 784‑25 (Item 12): Expressed official intent to reimburse certain project costs (pool rehabilitation, fire station design and library roof) and to pursue certificates of obligation for those projects. Outcome: approved.
- Resolution 785‑25 (Item 13): Approved a joint election contract with Grimes County and Navasota ISD for municipal election services; staff estimated the city’s election cost and noted funding in the budget. Outcome: approved.
- Resolution 786‑25 (Item 14): Designated authorized signatories for CDBG‑MIT grant documentation by position (rather than individual names). Outcome: approved.
- Consent agenda (Item 15): Minutes, municipal court reports and financials as listed on the consent agenda. Outcome: approved.
- Interim city manager appointment (Item 18): Council held an executive session on personnel matters and then took action in open session. The record contains inconsistent motion language in which Council Member Harris moved that a named staff be appointed as interim city manager and a subsequent recorded motion referenced a different name in the public record; council approved the motion. Note: the transcript records ambiguous references while confirming the council vote to appoint an interim manager; staff follow‑up to confirm the appointee will appear in the official minutes and the executed appointment paperwork.
What to watch for next: staff and the developer will return on follow‑up items (notably the postponed Stoneridge matter on Jan. 27) and staff will return with finalized contract documents and financing arrangements related to the approved reimbursement resolution and the pool contract.
