Prosper council approves $691,000 traffic signal, tank rehabilitation and EDC land purchase
Summary
At its June 24 meeting, the Prosper Town Council unanimously approved a $691,000 agreement for a traffic signal at First and Legacy Drive, authorized rehabilitation of the 2,000,000‑gallon Craig Street elevated storage tank, and directed the Prosper Economic Development Corporation to purchase two downtown lots discussed in closed session.
The Prosper Town Council on June 24 unanimously approved three formal actions: a $691,000 agreement to install a traffic signal at First Street and Legacy Drive, a rehabilitation project for the town’s 2,000,000‑gallon Craig Street elevated storage tank, and authorization for the Prosper Economic Development Corporation to purchase Lots 1 and 2 of Bryant’s First Edition in Collin County.
The council voted 6–0 to allow the town manager to enter the traffic‑signal agreement and to proceed with the tank rehabilitation after the two items (agenda items 15 and 16) were pulled from the consent agenda for brief discussion. Town Manager (name not specified in the record) told council that the tank rehab involves recoating the interior and exterior to address corrosion and structural degradation and that sediment observed inside the tank can be flushed out. The manager also introduced Robert Guy as the town’s new senior traffic engineer during discussion of the traffic signal project.
Later in the meeting, after a closed executive session, Mayor Pro Tem Amy Bartley moved and Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Chris Kern seconded a motion authorizing the Prosper Economic Development Corporation to proceed with the purchase of Lots 1 and 2 of Bryant’s First Edition, Collin County, Texas. The motion directed the EDC to complete the purchase pursuant to the terms discussed in closed session and ratified any expenditures incurred to date. That motion passed unanimously.
