Summary
Council approved a package of recommendations to update the subdivision ordinance and fee schedule, require City Engineer attendance at preconstruction meetings and final walkthroughs, and hold a workshop with Guadalupe County to discuss the interlocal agreement; the motion passed unanimously.
Garry Montgomery presented a set of recommended updates to development procedures in the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ). The package included updating the subdivision ordinance and fee schedule, requiring the City Engineer to attend preconstruction meetings and final walkthroughs for each unit, and organizing a workshop with Guadalupe County to discuss the interlocal agreement. Councilmember Jerry Penshorn moved to approve the recommendations and Councilmember Jeremiah Burns seconded; the motion passed unanimously.
The changes are intended to align local ordinance with state law and increase staff oversight of construction phases in the ETJ. The minutes record approval of the recommendations; the council did not specify implementation dates in the item text.
