Rockdale City Council weighs infrastructure upgrades, housing grant
In a week packed with workshops and agenda items, the Rockdale City Council on June 29 considered change orders for water and wastewater projects that would shape city services, while other boards reviewed industrial park marketing, airport maintenance and park grants. No final votes have been reported from these recent meetings, as official minutes remain unpublished.
City Council
The council discussed two proposed change orders — one for water distribution system upgrades and another for wastewater treatment plant improvements. Details on the scope and cost of the changes were not included in the agenda. Members also held a public hearing on a resolution supporting the local Housing Authority’s application for state funding from the General Land Office. A workshop on the FY2026-27 municipal budget rounded out the June 29 session.
Municipal Development District
Meeting on June 22, the MDD board considered a listing agreement with Troy Martin for the industrial park, held workshops on a Retail Strategies presentation, marketing, and the FY2027 budget, and convened in executive session to discuss economic development negotiations for Project Ewers and Project Pinetree, as well as personnel and real estate matters.
Airport Board
The Airport Board met June 23 to review maintenance needs for runways, hangars and fuel pumps. Members also discussed airport security, Notice to Air Missions (NOTAM) operations, potential air traffic software grants, and planning for an upcoming TxDOT workshop.
Parks Board
The Parks Board met June 25 and discussed a potential grant application for city parks. The agenda indicated only “consider action” on the grant, with no other business listed.
Coming up
The Planning and Zoning Commission will meet July 7 to consider rezoning 740 Copeland from single-family residential (R-1) to a manufactured home subdivision (M-1). Commissioners will also workshop the city’s allowed use table and receive reports from code enforcement and development services. The City Council will then hold a public hearing on the same rezoning request at 5:30 p.m. July 13 at City Hall. Written comments can be submitted before the hearing. Both meetings are open to the public.
