San Juan commission approves waterline agreements, annexation, appointments and library interlocal funding

The City of San Juan approved a set of routine but consequential items on its agenda, including infrastructure agreements, an annexation resolution, board appointments and a library interlocal agreement.

Staff recommended and the commission approved a waterline access agreement among the city, North Alamo Water Supply Corporation (NAWSC), and 316 Investments LP to install water lines and fire hydrants for the proposed Black Hills Estates Number 2 subdivision (property east of Sioux Road). A second waterline agreement was approved between the city, NAWSC and People Manufacture Home LLC for installation of a fire hydrant at a new manufactured-home business at 606 West Eldora Road; staff noted the fire department had requested the hydrant.

The commission also accepted a voluntary annexation petition for an approximately 18.86‑acre tract and directed the planning department to prepare a service plan and set public hearings; staff said the proposed subdivision would consist of about 50 lots for multifamily development.

On appointments, the commission approved filling two vacancies on the Keep San Juan Beautiful board, appointing Roberto Ortiz and Danny Ramirez (to replace Juliet Martinez). Library Director Christina Perez presented an annual interlocal agreement with Hidalgo County for library services; the county will provide $16,558.45 to the city to help serve rural residents. The consent agenda was approved with one item (item l) pulled for later correction of minutes and no action taken on that pulled item.

All of these measures were moved and carried by voice vote during the meeting.
