Obtain the pulled Sunnyside landfill reuse planning agreement text

Why now: The ordinance covering Phase I Due Diligence and Reuse Planning for the former Sunnyside Landfill was pulled twice by the Administration, on 2026-08-19 and 2026-08-25, and no vote has been recorded.

What to do: Get the draft agreement between the City and Houston Land Bank for Phase I due diligence and reuse planning, and ask whether the two pulled agenda items carried the same text. Clients with an interest in the former landfill site should know what the City would be committing to before any revised version returns.

Act before: After the next material record update

Ask why Sunnyside landfill reuse agreement was pulled twice

Why now: The item was pulled by the Administration on 2026-08-19 (Item 28) and again on 2026-08-25 (Item 14), with no recorded explanation in the official minutes for either removal.

What to do: Request the Administration's stated reason for pulling the Houston Land Bank agreement for the former Sunnyside (Holmes Road) Landfill, and ask whether a revised version is planned. Without that answer, the public cannot tell whether the delay reflects a contract problem or a policy change.

Act before: After the requested records are produced
