Flag new pre-encroachment easement license ordinance

Context: Adopted on second reading by unanimous 9-0 vote on Feb 17, 2026.

Recommended: A new ordinance lets the city authorize easement encroachment licenses before the encroachment occurs, reversing the usual after-the-fact remediation sequence — advise clients with pending or planned encroachments to apply proactively under this process rather than seeking retroactive cure.

As of Feb 2026

Apply for Hilliard Center hotel tax trust funding

Context: Amendment passed first reading 9-0 on Feb 10 and was adopted on second reading 9-0 on Feb 17.

Recommended: The amended financing ordinance now redirects incremental hotel-associated tax revenue at Hilliard Center Complex into a dedicated trust account for qualified project activities — if you have work in that zone, request the trust account administration procedures before assuming reimbursement isn't available.

Expect new subdivision buildout along FM 2444

Context: Second-reading rezoning ordinance carried 9-0 on Feb 17, 2026.

Recommended: Council rezoned more than half of a 109-acre annexation along FM 2444 to single-family use for a new subdivision, so residents nearby should anticipate construction traffic and infrastructure work in the coming months.
