Fulshear annexes Eagle Landing Park, appoints new directors to regional trails body
Summary
Council approved annexation of Eagle Landing Park into city limits and appointed Kelly Rafton to the Rails‑to‑Trails local government corporation board, ensuring Fulshear representation while zoning for the park proceeds through planning and zoning.
The City Council on Jan. 6 voted to annex Eagle Landing Park into Fulshear city limits and approved appointments to the regional Rails‑to‑Trails local government corporation.
City staff told the council the property (referred to in the meeting as Eagle Landing Park, located off Woods/Jordan Road) lies in the extraterritorial jurisdiction; signs have been placed and zoning will be processed through Planning & Zoning before returning to council for final zoning action.
Council approved Ordinance No. 2026‑1520 to annex the park into the city. The council also adopted Resolution No. 2026‑692 to remove certain directors and appoint qualified replacements to the Rails‑to‑Trails local government corporation; Tiffany Stauter’s departure from the city led staff to recommend appointing Kelly Rafton (described in the record as the city’s newly hired recreation and events coordinator) to maintain the city’s presence on the board.
Staff said continuing participation in the regional trails organization will support connectivity planning despite regional infrastructure changes such as the planned toll road. Council members asked for periodic updates on Rails‑to‑Trails progress and staff agreed to provide an update later in the year.
Both the annexation ordinance and the resolution were approved by majority voice vote with no opposition recorded in the transcript.
