Summary

Council voted unanimously to authorize the city manager to negotiate and execute an updated municipal maintenance agreement with TxDOT that clarifies responsibilities for state highways, ADA compliance, mowing, sweeping and shared maintenance as the city grows.

Council authorized the city manager to negotiate and execute an updated municipal maintenance agreement (MMA) with the Texas Department of Transportation to clarify roles and responsibilities for state highways within city limits.

Presenters said the 1995 agreement relied on informal understandings and that the 2024 update explicitly addresses modern standards for ADA compliance, traffic-control devices, signage, mowing and sweeping schedules, staffing and equipment costs, and the process by which the city and TxDOT coordinate maintenance. Staff emphasized the update ‘‘strengthens’’ the partnership and will reduce operational uncertainty and liability exposure.

The council moved to approve the MMA authorization, confirmed remote participation and voted unanimously. Staff said the agreement will better position the city to assume greater responsibilities as it grows, while TxDOT will remain available to assist when requested.
