Residents raise cemetery, parking and water concerns during public comment
Summary
Multiple residents used public comment to urge council to protect a family cemetery from road work, criticize Old Town traffic/parking changes, and press the city on water‑system resilience and planning.
Several people spoke during the public-comment period about different local concerns. Lucas Evans asked for advance notice and requested that County Road 137 work extend to protect his family cemetery and associated access; city staff and the city manager clarified the current project limits and the Brushy Creek interceptor alignment.
Jimmy Pierce criticized one‑way streets and questioned the placement of a proposed data center inside town, arguing it would put residential power needs at risk; he also levied an ethics charge, saying the mayor had been named in multiple lawsuits and repeating his view that the mayor should resign. The mayor declined to change course in response to the public comment.
Brandon De Leon, a council candidate, urged preventive maintenance and inspection of Hutto's water system and cited recent leaks in Pflugerville as a warning to invest in inspections and upgrades to prevent disruptions.
