Robinson council approves interlocal cost‑share for Brazos Riverbank restoration; accepts P&Z resignation
The Robinson City Council voted to approve a consent agenda that included an interlocal cost‑sharing agreement with the City of Waco for the Brazos Riverbank restoration project and accepted the resignation of Les Davis from Planning & Zoning Place 5.

Council members heard a staff summary before the consent vote explaining that erosion near a Robinson intake structure prompted a larger Army Corps of Engineers project. According to staff, total project estimates rose substantially during design work; the Corps required local governments to cover a 35% match, and staff said Robinson’s negotiated share for the section adjacent to city infrastructure would be about $498,000. A staff speaker added Robinson could limit its exposure by shoring up only the intake area at an estimated lower cost (staff noted roughly $200,000 as a targeted shoring cost), but the interlocal agreement covers the contiguous bank segment so erosion would not reappear where the Corps work terminates.

Council discussion raised concerns about fairness. One councilmember asked, “Why should Robinson pay the lion’s share of the cost for those seven cities?” Staff replied that Waco had already paid its portion and that the city negotiated Robinson’s responsibility down from earlier, larger estimates. The council moved, seconded and approved the consent agenda with no recorded opposition.

The consent agenda also included approval of meeting minutes and formal acceptance of Les Davis’s resignation from Planning & Zoning Place 5; councilmembers agreed to advertise vacancies for alternates and recruit candidates to fill the commission seat.

The council did not produce a separate roll-call vote count in the meeting record; the mayor announced the motion passed.
