Summary
On April 21 the council approved a tenant‑panel sign variance for Wolfe Physical Therapy, amended parks youth program titles, authorized a $51,800 HVAC services agreement at Ranch Park, approved two interlocal agreements with Dripping Springs ISD (including a Rathgeber easement), and authorized bids for Old Fitzhugh Road and the South Collector sewer project.
At its April 21 meeting the Dripping Springs City Council approved a set of consent and business items. Key outcomes:
- Sign variance (Wolfe Physical Therapy, 400 US‑290 Suite A102): Approved with a condition that the extra tenant panel be removed if the tenant vacates or the spaces are re-divided. Applicant Dr. Wolfe explained he occupies two combined tenant spaces and the additional panel addresses visibility without reconfiguring the building; staff recommended approval and the council adopted the variance.
- Ordinance amendment (parks youth program standards of care): Council approved an amendment that replaces the "program coordinator" title with "program manager" in two locations to align titles with departmental staffing.
- HVAC professional services agreement (Dripping Springs Ranch Park): Council approved a not-to-exceed agreement with Daikin for building automation and HVAC improvements in an amount consistent with the vendor quote of $51,800; staff will check a minor subtotal discrepancy in the packet.
- Interlocal agreements with Dripping Springs ISD: Council approved the development ILA (subject to district approval and substantially similar final form) and separately approved the road-easement ILA to secure public access to Rathgeber Natural Resources Park; the district is scheduled to consider the agreements April 27.
- Bid authorizations: Council authorized issuing the request for bids for the Old Fitzhugh Road improvement project (≈$9M estimate) and for the South Collector sewer line (≈$5.9M estimate), with procurement schedules in May and awards to return to council in July.
Votes were recorded by voice or roll call depending on the item; motions carried on all listed items. Further details and next steps are scheduled in coming weeks for rate‑study follow up, easement surveys, and procurement.
