Friendswood Council to weigh bond propositions, drainage plan at Monday meeting
The Friendswood City Council has no formal decisions from the past two weeks, as the only public gatherings were procedural notices for council members attending community events. The council will return to business Monday with a full agenda that includes discussing bond election propositions and the city’s master drainage plan.
Recent meetings: no action taken
On June 26, the mayor and council were expected to attend a Concert in the Park event. No official business or votes occurred. Similarly, on July 4, city council members were given notice of a possible quorum at the Fourth of July parade and fireworks celebration. Both items were agenda-only notices; minutes have not yet been published.
