Mission Council Prepares to Act on $21M Water Grant, School Resource Officer Deals
The Mission City Council is set to consider a grant application for up to $21 million for water supply infrastructure and interlocal agreements totaling more than $1.6 million to maintain school resource officers in two school districts, according to meeting agendas released in the past two weeks. No final votes have been recorded; all items remain pending as minutes were not yet published.
The council’s regular meeting on June 23 featured a packed agenda, while a special meeting June 26 cleared the way for a city-run fireworks display. The Planning and Zoning Commission and Zoning Board of Adjustments also held sessions covering rezoning and setback requests.
Grants and Infrastructure
The June 23 agenda included a resolution to apply to the Texas Water Development Board for up to $21 million with no local match. The grant would fund water supply infrastructure projects. That same meeting, the council was to consider a $2 million grant application to the Texas General Land Office for disaster recovery, requiring a 10% local match.
A July 7 workshop agenda shows additional grant discussions: a possible application to the National Park Service for $100,000 (no match) and acceptance of a $250,000 grant from the Texas General Land Office Resilient Communities Program.
School Officer Deals
The June 23 agenda also proposes renewing interlocal agreements to station educational resource officers in Mission Consolidated Independent School District and Sharyland Independent School District. The costs: $1,166,679.36 for MCISD and $446,559.51 for Sharyland ISD.
Zoning and Land Use
The June 23 meeting scheduled public hearings on a rezoning from C-3 to R-2 at the southeast corner of W. 15th and Dunlap, and a conditional use permit for Par 5 Golf Lounge at 1522 E. Expressway 83, Suite 117, to allow alcohol sales. On July 1, the Planning and Zoning Commission took up a plat for Sommercrest Oaks Estates, a 9.851-acre subdivision, plus rezonings from AO-I to R-1 on Moorefield Road and R-3 to C-3 at 2210 E. 1st Street, along with ten conditional use permits for mobile food units and an event center.
Separately, the Zoning Board of Adjustments met June 30 to hear five variance requests for reduced setbacks at residential properties on Silver Avenue, W. 30th Street, Sonora Street, Perkins Avenue, and Mountain Road.
Fireworks and Financials
At a June 26 special meeting, the council was to accept the Annual Comprehensive Financial Report for fiscal year 2025 and consider a variance to Ordinance No. 2198 to allow a city-organized fireworks display on July 2, supervised by the Mission Fire Department.
Two cancelled notices of potential quorum for an Audit Committee special meeting were also posted during the period; no formal action or minutes were taken.
Public Safety and Fleet
The July 7 workshop agenda includes ratification of $634,440 in emergency repairs at the Waste Water Treatment Plant, and authorization to purchase three Chevy pickup trucks for $145,050 via financing. The council will also consider a resolution ordering a general election for mayor and council Places One and Three on Nov. 3, 2026.
Coming up
The next public meeting is the City Council Workshop on July 7, where the election order, emergency repairs, and grants will be discussed. Agendas are posted at the city’s website.
