Check reinstated oversized and overweight structure fees before bidding
Applies if: You move oversized or overweight loads or structures, or reserve metered parking for work zones, in the city
Why now: Ordinance Enactment No. 034013, approved 7-1 on 2026-09-08, reinstates fees for oversized and overweight structures and removes meter-bagging fees, but the record verifies no effective date[MATTER].
What to do: Pull the amended Chapter 49 and Chapter 53 text and the fee schedule to see which oversized and overweight structure fees now apply, and build them into bids for jobs that move such loads or structures on city streets. Also confirm that meter-bagging fees are gone, so you do not budget for them.
Act before: After the next material record update
Ask why mayor abstained on street fee ordinance
Why now: The ordinance passed first reading 8-0 on 2026-09-01 with no public comments, then passed second reading 7-1 with Paxson against and Mayor Guajardo abstaining (Enactment No. 034013).
What to do: Ask the city for the reason Mayor Guajardo abstained and why Mayor Pro Tem Paxson voted no on second reading, after no one objected the week before. Also ask which fees are being reinstated and whether the removed meter-bagging fees were replaced by anything.
Act before: After the requested records are produced
