Summary

Council approved the bulk of the consent agenda (minutes, engineering contract amendment, park construction funding and water/wastewater engineering amendment) after moving one park item to individual consideration; motions were adopted without recorded amendments.

The council approved the consent agenda after Mayor Pro Tem Garcia moved to approve items a, b, c and e and asked to move item d to individual consideration. Items approved included the April 13, 2026 meeting minutes; a contract amendment with Freese and Nichols for engineering and architectural professional services related to a TxDOT intersection permit (not to exceed $45,258); funding for playground construction at Guyberry Park (not to exceed $100,168); and an amendment to Schomburg and Polk Inc. for water and wastewater engineering design services for the Hickory Tree Road pedestrian and road improvement project (not to exceed $140,800).

Council discussed the separation of one playground item for additional review and proceeded to address that item individually. The clerk confirmed motion passage in the record and no amendments to the dollar amounts were recorded in the meeting transcript.

The approvals move forward procurement and design activity identified in staff packets; specific contract numbers and funding line items were not read into the public record during the motion.
