7-14-2026 CC Meeting

The City of Bandera City Council meeting on July 14, 2026, included several procurement-related discussions and decisions. The council approved a request from Zayn Jackson to use the Horseshoe Bend disc golf course for a PDGA disc golf tournament on August 29, 2026, with no fee charged and an agreement to be entered with the city. A significant discussion focused on Resolution 2026-00005 regarding an advanced funding agreement with the Texas Department of Transportation for a sidewalk project, with concerns raised about the increased city match amount of $598,400 and the lack of prior Economic Development Corporation (EDC) approval. The council voted to table this resolution pending EDC review and public input. Additionally, the council approved Resolution 2026-00006 to request financial assistance from the Texas Water Development Board for water system improvements, a 100% grant with no city match required. The council also reviewed and approved an RFP for legal services with a submission deadline of August 31, 2026, and approved a budget amendment transferring $3,500 to cover wastewater treatment plant repairs. Finally, the council accepted a resignation from the EDC and called for applications to fill the vacancy with a deadline of August 7, 2026.
