Bastrop City Council - May 12, 2026

The Bastrop City Council meeting held on May 12, 2026, included several procurement-related discussions primarily focused on infrastructure and safety projects. The council approved a resolution to submit a grant application to the Texas Department of Transportation's Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program, seeking approximately $944,000 in funding for pedestrian road safety improvements, with the city committing $236,000 in matching funds. Additionally, the council approved a safety action plan to support the grant application, aiming to reduce traffic fatalities. Another key procurement decision involved a cost-share agreement with Longhorn Opportunity Fund for upsizing a sanitary sewer line from 8-inch to 12-inch to accommodate future development, with the city agreeing to cover an additional $34,523.88. The meeting also addressed administrative matters such as office space usage policies for council members and proclamations recognizing community events and awareness weeks. Several executive sessions were held to deliberate on economic development and real estate matters, but no actions were taken publicly from those sessions.
