City Council Meeting - 2026/11/03

At the Nacogdoches City Council meeting listed as November 3, 2026 (recording metadata dated November 4), the council unanimously approved a $1,278,943 contract with Drury Construction Company, Inc. for the 2026 street paving project. The work covers patching and overlay on 15 street segments, paving on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, restriping, and repairs to sections of Pioneer Park Road. Staff said the project would be funded primarily through the street maintenance fee and capital improvement budget, with the paving allowance for Pioneer Park Road charged to the parks improvements portion of the CIP. Council also received an update on the draft hazard mitigation plan, being prepared by H2O Partners under a Texas GLO grant of up to $100,000; the plan’s proposed mitigation actions are nonbinding and contingent on future funding and approvals.

Council discussed a proposed resolution urging a legislative amendment to remove the statutory cap on the Nacogdoches County Hospital District’s sales-tax contribution for economic development. A motion and second were made, but the transcript ends without a recorded vote or outcome. Public comment also raised pedestrian safety concerns on North Reay Street, including possible signage and pavement markings; no action was recorded on those suggestions.
