Crowley meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Crowley agendas: personnel policy changes, Deer Creek paving design and Magnolia Street parking, with no outcomes yet published

No votes, dollar amounts or outcomes are available from Crowley's government meetings over the past two weeks. Every summary provided for this period is marked agenda only, meaning minutes have not yet been published. What follows is what each body was scheduled to take up, not what it decided.

City Council: personnel policies and Deer Creek paving design

The City Council had two entries dated October 15 — a work session and a meeting. Agendas listed:

• Proposed amendments to personnel policies covering workplace monitoring, recording devices and employee conduct.
• A contract amendment for the design of Deer Creek Paving Improvements with Teague, Nall and Perkins.
• Resolution No R10-2026-493, which would rename the Public Safety Critical Systems Power Protection Project as the Public Safety Server Room UPS Project.
• A status update on various Capital Improvement Projects, listed for the work session.

The agendas do not state a contract amount for the Deer Creek design amendment, and no vote tally has been published.

Economic Development Corporation: downtown parking on Magnolia Street

The Crowley Economic Development Corporation Board of Directors was scheduled to review previous meeting minutes and to discuss the purchase, exchange, lease or value of real property for downtown parking on Magnolia Street. The agenda lists that property discussion under executive session. No details of the property, terms or any action were included in the materials available.

Parks and Recreation Board: Yard of the Month

The Parks and Recreation Board met October 7 with an agenda to approve previous minutes and consider nominations for Yard of the Month. Members were also scheduled to receive updates on city events and park projects. No minutes have been published, so the nominations considered and any approvals are not yet part of the public record.

Planning & Zoning Commission meeting canceled

The Planning & Zoning Commission meeting scheduled for October 12 was canceled. The record does not give a reason, and no items were listed for that date.

What residents can and cannot tell from this record

These summaries come from agendas. They show what was scheduled for discussion or possible action. They do not show what was approved, rejected, tabled or left undiscussed, and they contain no vote counts and no dollar figures. Missing minutes are not evidence that a body took no action; it means the outcome has not yet been published. Residents who want the authoritative account should consult the official agenda packets and minutes posted by the city once available.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings are listed in the data provided for the next 14 days. Residents should check the city's official meeting calendar for any additions, cancellations or schedule changes before attending.

Crowley agendas cover trail design, stormwater and zoning alternates; P&Z meeting canceled

Records available for Crowley's recent government meetings are agendas only. No minutes have been published for any meeting held in the past two weeks, so no votes, dollar amounts or final outcomes can be confirmed from the documents on file as of Oct. 13.

The agenda items with the widest reach concern street and trail construction and land-use rules. The City Council was scheduled to consider a contract amendment for additional design work on the Main Street Trail Extension, and its work session was to include discussion of adding stormwater improvements along East Main Street as part of that project. Separately, a public hearing was set on a zoning change that would add two alternate members to the Planning & Zoning Commission.

City Council, Oct. 1

The council's Oct. 1 agenda listed a public hearing on Ordinance #10-2026-608 (Case # ZCA-2026-005), which would amend Sec. 106.32 "Review Authorities" of Ch. 106 – Zoning to allow two alternate Planning & Zoning Commission members.

The council was also scheduled to consider authorizing the City Manager to amend the existing Main Street Trail Extension design contract with Teague, Nall & Perkins (TNP) for additional design services, and to consider a Special Event Permit for the Crowley High School Homecoming Parade on Wednesday, October 21, 2026.

A work session with no action items was to cover golf cart operation and regulation on city streets under Texas Transportation Code §551.404, which the agenda describes as covering streets posted 35 mph or less, and the possible addition of stormwater improvements along East Main Street as part of the trail extension project.

Also listed: a Fire Prevention Week Proclamation for October 4-10, 2026, themed "Charge into Fire Safety: Safe Charging is a Superpower," and a consent item to approve minutes from the September 17, 2026 work session and regular meeting. The agenda noted the council may convene in closed session on legal, real property, personnel, or economic development matters.

Parks and Recreation Board, Oct. 7

The board was scheduled to approve previous minutes, consider nominations for Yard of the Month, and receive updates on city events and park projects.

Planning & Zoning Commission, Oct. 12 — canceled

Crowley boards take up zoning, budget, and development plats; no votes yet

Over the past two weeks, Crowley's Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council held meetings to discuss proposed zoning changes, the city's next budget, and preliminary plats for commercial and residential development. All items remain proposals; no votes have been taken and minutes have not yet been published.

Planning & Zoning Commission (Aug. 10)

The commission held public hearings on two zoning amendments and will make recommendations to the City Council. The first would allow vinyl fencing for single-family residential privacy fencing (Case ZCA-2026-003). The second would allow alternative fencing materials with a Specific Use Permit in Downtown districts, requested by Crowley Brake & Alignment (Case ZCA-2026-004). The commission also approved minutes from its July 27 regular meeting.

Budget Work Session (Aug. 11)

The City Council held a discussion-only work session on the proposed Fiscal Year 2026-2027 city budget. No votes or decisions were scheduled. The meeting was open to public comment on agenda items.

City Council Work Session (Aug. 20)

The council held a work session that included a public hearing and several routine items. The public hearing concerned Ordinance 08-2026-600, which would allow administrative approval of plat postponement requests. The council then considered two preliminary plats:

• **Braum's Addition, Lot 1, Block A** – approximately 1.678 acres (Case PPLT-2026-004)
• **Karis Addition Phase 2A** – approximately 39.6 acres (Case PPLT-2026-005)

Also on the agenda were two budget amendments for the current fiscal year: Ordinance 08-2026-601 (Budget Amendment No. 3) and Ordinance 08-2026-602 (Budget Amendment No. 4). The council considered Resolution R08-2026-489, declaring property surplus and authorizing a trade-in. The consent agenda included re-adopting the city's investment policy and the quarterly investment report.

All items were agenda items only; no final action was taken.

Coming up

The only scheduled meeting in the next two weeks is the Planning & Zoning Commission meeting set for Aug. 24 at 7:00 p.m. at Crowley City Hall, 201 E. Main Street. That meeting has been canceled, so no public meetings are currently on the calendar.
