City of Simonton City Council · April 21, 2026

Summary

Mayor Laurie Boudreaux told the council TXDOT projects are expected to begin in 2027, announced two public meetings on roadway options, urged sign-up for Nixle traffic alerts (text 888777), and said staff will meet owners of a sand-mining operation on FM 1093 to discuss special use permitting.

Mayor Laurie Boudreaux updated the council on several transportation and infrastructure items. She said the Texas Department of Transportation projects the Mobility Project will begin in 2027 and that the city will hold two public meetings to present different roadway construction options. Mayor Boudreaux directed residents to sign up for Nixle alerts (text 888777) to receive traffic updates and noted the Twinwood FM 1093 drainage project is planned.

On the sand-mining operation reported on FM 1093, the mayor said staff will meet with the owners to provide information and advise them about the special use permit process. She also provided an IT update for the council chambers and listed upcoming events: May 12, 2026 (9 a.m.) canvass of the general election and May 19, 2026 (6 p.m.) public hearing on building codes and swearing in of new mayor and council.

Why it matters: the Mobility Project and drainage work will affect traffic, construction timelines and potentially property access; the sand-mining operation may require permitting and public review under the city's land-use rules.
