The Missouri City Council unanimously approved nine consent-agenda items during its July 21 regular meeting, authorizing several professional services contracts, a change order and other routine actions.
City Manager Angel Jones summarized the items before the vote. The council authorized a water-quality blending study contract with Cividus Engineering Group not to exceed $51,000 and a reclaimed-water feasibility analysis with BGE not to exceed $113,000. The council ratified a Paragon Environmental Services change order of roughly $451,000 to cover an additional 5,000 cubic yards of reservoir material identified during cleaning; staff said the project remains under budget. Council also authorized a three‑year cooperative purchasing agreement with Primary Arms LLC for firearms and accessories not to exceed $240,000; staff noted drug-recovery funds could be used for some purchases.
Other items approved included authorization for the mayor to enter an agreement with the Fort Bend County tax assessor-collector for city tax collection; write-off of approximately $6,500 in delinquent taxes under Texas Property Code §33.05; a supplemental contract with Seabreeze Roofing not to exceed $60,000 per year for repairs; and adoption of a second-reading ordinance for a new gas franchise agreement with CenterPoint (4% of gross revenues).
Council member Klauser moved to approve the consent agenda; the motion was seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Brown Marshall and carried unanimously.
The approvals begin work on water‑resource planning and maintenance projects staff described as aimed at reducing groundwater reliance and ensuring reservoir capacity. Several items were described as routine contract or budget adjustments and will proceed to procurement and implementation phases.
