Council receives updates on construction RFB, budget schedule, grants and audit
Summary
Council members received routine updates including an upcoming RFB for the bulk water station entrance on FM 3344, internal FY‑27 budget discussions starting in April, a nonprofit grant deadline of April 30, 2026, and the FY‑25 audit presentation. Mayor Morris asked for more pothole repairs and asked about construction deadlines; the City Manager said the City can only issue permits and inspect work.
During general updates the council was briefed on several administrative and operational items. City staff noted an upcoming request for bids (RFB) to build the entrance to the new bulk water station on FM 3344; staff also said FY‑27 departmental budget discussions will begin in April and reminded council that nonprofit grant applications are due April 30, 2026. The FY‑25 audit was presented with Mike Edgin, and departments will be closed March 27 for wellness day and training.
Mayor Alton Morris asked whether the city could do more pothole repairs and whether the city could impose deadlines on construction projects that appear to be progressing slowly. City Manager Michael Smith said the city's authority is limited to issuing permits and conducting inspections and that the city cannot impose additional deadlines beyond its permitting and inspection authority.
Council did not take formal action on these items at the March 23 meeting; the updates were provided for information and to set next steps for procurement and budget planning.
