Council adopts FY2526 amendment to fund East Maple Estates work and a $50,000 watershed assessment
Summary
The council adopted an ordinance amending FY2526 to add funding for the TERS 3 East Maple Estates project (amount not specified) and approved a $50,000 development-services allocation for a watershed timing assessment to refine detention requirements and reduce over/under-engineering.
The Tyler City Council adopted an ordinance amending fiscal year 2526 budget entries to provide additional funding for the TERS 3 East Maple Estates project and to add $50,000 to the development services budget for a watershed timing assessment.
Assistant City Manager Heather Nick said the watershed timing assessment will enable a targeted, watershed-based approach to improve flood-management outcomes while reducing unnecessary regulatory burden and to identify where detention facilities are required. “This will allow for common-sense approaches and not under or over engineer,” Nick said. She said the amendment funds two separate needs: additional funding for the TERS 3 East Maple Estates project (amount not specified during the presentation) and the $50,000 for the watershed study.
Council approved the ordinance by voice vote; the transcript records the motion, a second and that the motion carried, but no roll-call vote tally is recorded. The watershed timing assessment is intended to verify which areas need detention and to identify alternatives that could reduce construction costs and regulatory burdens for future development.
The record does not specify the total additional funding for the TERS 3 project; staff or the finance department would have to provide the exact figure and fund sources for public record.
