Town staff outlines Cross Timbers drainage assessments, bond‑program next steps and Riverwalk art center progress
Summary
The town manager reported staff completed 28 of 36 private drainage assessments in the Cross Timbers neighborhood, said bond projects will be posted to a dedicated landing page and provided an update that five design firms remain under consideration for a joint town‑county Riverwalk art center project.
During the Town Manager's report on May 5, Flower Mound staff gave updates on private drainage assessments in the Cross Timbers neighborhood, the town's plans for implementing recently approved bond propositions, and the Riverwalk art center project being developed jointly with Denton County.
The town manager, identified in the meeting only as James, said staff initiated a set of private‑drainage assessment forms after a March 20 work session with residents and that the town's drainage engineer, Blake Hall, had conducted 28 of 36 requested assessments despite taking a week off during that period. James described those site visits as substantive and said the data are informing decision packages for the upcoming budget and stormwater‑rate discussions.
On the recently passed bond program, James said both propositions passed and that staff will update the bond landing page on the town website to show project status and timelines; he cautioned there would not be immediate construction the next week and said staff will strategize how to sell the debt and phase projects. Public comment earlier in the meeting also praised the bond passage.
On the Riverwalk art center, James said the town and Denton County have solicited design firms and received around 30 proposals, which staff narrowed to five finalists. Interviews with finalists are planned in the coming weeks, with the town aiming to select a design firm in June, after which a formal design process and more definitive schedule will follow.
Council members and staff said they will provide updates to the council and the public as project timelines firm up and as budget decisions related to drainage and bonds proceed.
