COUNCIL MEETING. DECEMBER 10, 2024. CITY HALL, 100 S. MONROE ST.

The City of Eagle Pass, Texas held a council meeting on December 10, 2024, where several procurement and budget-related matters were discussed. Key procurement actions included the approval of a resolution authorizing the use of competitive sealed proposals for utility services related to the Py Wind Expansion Project, with a clarification changing the evaluation criteria from "best value" to "best qualification." The council also considered and approved an ordinance to establish fees for leasing spaces in a business incubator, enabling the city to begin utilizing the facility as intended. Additionally, an ordinance was approved to streamline the final plat approval process by allowing administrative approval rather than requiring city council approval, in compliance with a new state law effective September 2023. The council discussed a proposed increase in solid waste service fees, the first increase in over a decade, aimed at funding service improvements and future projects; this item was taken into executive session for further discussion. The meeting concluded with executive sessions addressing community project funding and infrastructure costs related to a new university building in Eagle Pass.
