Llano City Council outlines 2026 work plan, schedules water-capacity workshop
Summary
City staff presented a 2026 work plan including an airport stakeholder group, a Robinson Park Pool assessment to be monetized for the April 6 meeting, development-service efficiency goals, and a proposed water-capacity workshop; staff noted a potential July 2026 loan/grant deadline and will confirm dates.
Finley, the city manager, presented the Llano City Council's proposed 2026 work plan and asked the council for direction on several near-term items, including an airport stakeholder group and a possible special workshop on water capacity.
The presentation offered a proposed composition for the airport stakeholder group—"maybe 1 council person, 1 person from the EDC, 2 pilots, and then the airport manager," Finley said—intended to guide work on the airport layout plan and to produce candidates for appointment at the next meeting. Finley also said staff received a draft assessment of Robinson Park Pool and will attempt to include cost estimates so the council can review monetized figures at its April 6 meeting.
Why it matters: the water-capacity issue was raised as time-sensitive in the context of a loan and grant timeline. During the discussion the chair asked whether the city needed to provide answers by July to remain aligned with a loan and grant; Finley said he would check the deadline. Council members urged separating the water-capacity workshop from other agenda items so it can be discussed at length.
Council members and staff described improvements to development services and a development-team meeting intended to speed permit turnaround. Finley recapped that the team discussed response goals (targeting faster replies for routine matters and 3–6 weeks for typical processes) and identified three small water projects—each roughly 3–4 blocks in length—staff think could improve system efficiency. He said staff may seek direction from council to procure design and bidding documents for those projects.
The manager also proposed forming a capital improvement program committee to provide a cross-section of residents a structured role in reviewing projects and advising priorities; council would retain authority for funding and implementation. The council agreed staff should advertise for potential committee members and report back.
Next steps: Finley will confirm the July timeline for any loan/grant dependencies and will advertise candidate openings for the airport stakeholder group and capital improvement committee as directed by the council.
