City Council Highlights from 4/16/26 Meeting

Nearly all of the City's Board and Commissions are fully staffed, with several TIRZ Boards and the Economic Development Corporation each having one vacancy. Learn more about serving here.

Council received a detailed presentation on our current Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) and received updates on two projects that are currently behind schedule, as well as the steps staff is taking to get these back on track. One major road project set to begin is the widening and improvement of CR 137 (near Farley Middle School).

Council held two public hearings and approved bond sales for two existing residential Public Improvement Districts (PIDs) in the city. Prairie Winds and Cottonwood). These are both expanding the improvement areas with additional houses that were part of the original plan. None of the bond dollars are recourse to the City.

Council approved just under $300k for road repairs in the Hutto Town Square and Hutto Highlands subdivisions, which are planned for this summer. These will be a seal coat to extend the life of these roads. Residents will be notified by City staff when the project is set to begin.

Council approved upgrades to the security systems at City Hall, which enables additional city sites to be incorporated into the same system.

Council approved giving our Library Director the authority to apply for and accept grants for multiple library activities and needs.

Council granted a two-year extension to our contract with Al Clawson Disposal, Inc. for solid waste service. I'm very grateful for the wonderful community partner we have in ACDI. They donate thousands of dollars to Keep Hutto Beautiful Foundation and offer free trash disposal for our annual cleanup.

Council reviewed our Strategic Plan, which was modified in a work session a few weeks ago. We gave a few items of feedback, and staff will bring it back next month for formal adoption.

Council authorized a study to be conducted for improving our water delivery network to fully benefit from the 4 million gallons per day (MGD) that we are purchasing from water provider Recharge and that will start delivery this year.

Next meeting is May 7th
