Katy council approves appointments, enterprise‑project nomination, generator design contract and a budget amendment
Summary
At its Feb. 23 meeting, the Katy City Council approved appointments to Keep Katy Beautiful, authorized an interlocal agreement to allow Waller County to nominate Igloo Products Corp. for enterprise-project status, approved a $54,850 proposal with ARC Engineers for a wastewater generator design, and adopted a budget amendment for FY 2024–25.
The Katy City Council voted on several routine but consequential items during its Feb. 23 meeting.
Appointments: The council adopted an ordinance appointing Elizabeth Ann Nicholas and Drew William Reiser as regular members of the Keep Katy Beautiful board. Councilmember Janet Court moved the motion and Mayor Pro Tem Chris Harris seconded; the motion carried by voice vote after brief praise for the board’s volunteer work.
Enterprise project nomination (Igloo Products Corp.): Council considered a resolution authorizing the mayor to sign an interlocal agreement with Waller County approving the county’s nomination of Igloo Products Corp. for designation as an enterprise project. City Attorney Dave explained that enterprise project nominations are economic incentives governed by the Texas Government Code (transcribed in the meeting as sections "2303" and "791") and that the city is not promising local funds; the state would approve incentives if statutory criteria are met. The council approved the city’s concurrence with the county nomination by voice vote.
ARC Engineers LLC proposal: Council approved a proposal with ARC Engineers LLC for design and construction‑based services for a wastewater treatment plant generator installation project in the amount of $54,850 at 25839 Katy Freeway. The motion carried by voice vote.
Budget amendment: Council adopted Ordinance adopting amendment number 13 to the City of Katy’s fiscal year 2024–25 budget (general government fund changes). The ordinance was approved by voice vote; the meeting record does not include line‑item appropriation details.
Votes at a glance: All listed motions recorded in the meeting were approved by voice vote; no roll‑call tallies with member‑by‑member recorded votes appeared in the transcript.
The actions are procedural approvals and do not on their face commit local funds beyond the contract amount approved for ARC Engineers LLC. The enterprise‑project item is a local concurrence with a county nomination that, per the city attorney’s explanation, would be subject to state criteria and approval.
