Keller Council to consider solid waste pact, 39-acre residential zoning
Keller government boards met in recent weeks primarily for procedural and budget-review items, with no major spending or land-use decisions finalized. Attention now shifts to the July 7 City Council meeting, where members are scheduled to take up a new citywide solid waste franchise agreement, a large residential zoning change, and a budget hearing for the Keller Development Corporation.
Recent meetings recap
The City Council met June 23 with an agenda to canvass the June 13 runoff election for Council Place 4 and administer the oath of office to the winning candidate. Minutes have not yet been published.
That same day, the Keller Development Corporation board reviewed its draft fiscal year 2026-27 budget and a capital improvement plan for parks. Discussions also covered renovation and user agreements for Keller Sports Park. The board convened again June 29 to continue the budget and sports park items.
The Crime Control & Prevention District held a public hearing June 24 on its FY 2026-27 district budget and planned to approve minutes from its June 3 meeting.
Budget talks dominate development and public safety boards
All three recent meetings centered on upcoming fiscal year spending. The KDC is considering draft capital projects for parks while also addressing sports park renovations. The crime control district’s budget hearing was listed as a required step toward adoption. No final votes were recorded in any of these sessions.
Upcoming Council to weigh waste contract, residential zoning
The July 7 City Council agenda includes several consequential items.
Members will hold a public hearing on a proposed zoning change for The Preserve at Keller Oaks, a 39.38-acre site near N. Main Street. No additional details on the development’s density or design were provided.
A new five-year citywide solid waste and recycling franchise agreement with Community Waste Disposal is also on the table. If approved, the contract would set collection service terms across the city.
Other items include: a specific use permit for Amazing Hair Salon at 112 W. Hill Street; the purchase of a Bauer air compressor system for Fire Station No. 2; and a budget hearing for the FY 2026-27 Keller Development Corporation budget.
Other upcoming meetings
The Library Board meets July 6 to review June usage statistics, summer reading challenge progress, and the July calendar. The Public Arts Board on July 8 will discuss grants, roundabout projects, and master plan updates.
