Eagle Pass council approves PID bonds, short-term rental rules and several infrastructure steps
Summary
At its March 3 meeting the Eagle Pass City Council authorized special-assessment bonds for two PID improvement areas, adopted a short-term-rental ordinance that adds a 7% local hotel-occupancy tax for short-term rentals and approved applications and easements for multiple infrastructure projects, among other items.
The Eagle Pass City Council on March 3 authorized a package of actions to advance local infrastructure and regulation, including approving special-assessment bonds for the Eagle Pass Public Improvement District, adopting new short-term rental rules and authorizing application for a $15 million TxDOT SIB loan for the Patsy Wood Boulevard extension.
Council opened the meeting with the pledge and a brief invocation, heard routine announcements and one public comment from Letty Perez of the Community Transformation Alliance, who urged residents to "speak up 1 time this month" and described simple ways to contact public officials.
Why it matters: The council's actions move multiple projects from planning toward construction and add a regulatory framework for short-term rentals that city staff say will both enforce safety and collect a locally administered 7% hotel-occupancy tax from rental guests.
