Museum Park PBD Advisory Committee Meeting - June 25, 2026

The City of Houston's Museum Park Parking Benefit District Advisory Committee convened on June 25, 2026, to discuss parking meter operations, revenue, and ongoing capital projects within the district. Key procurement-related topics included updates on the Arbor Care project with Bartlett, which is nearing completion with some outstanding tree planting and reporting tasks. The committee reviewed the fiscal year income statement, projecting about $81,000 to $82,000 available for projects in the next fiscal year, and discussed maintaining a fund balance buffer, with differing opinions on the appropriate amount. They also addressed meter maintenance challenges, including battery life and preventive upkeep, and noted a shift toward app-based payments comprising approximately 60% of transactions. The committee planned to reconcile fiscal year revenues, including potential impacts from recent events like FIFA, and scheduled the next meeting for August 27, 2026, to further discuss project proposals and financial reconciliations. Additionally, committee membership changes were noted, with a resignation and plans to fill vacancies representing commercial interests within the district.
