In a half-hour meeting on July 14 at City Hall, 901 Avenue C in Katy, Katy’s city council moved efficiently through a two-page agenda of routine matters. Among them:

· Council approved payment of three invoices with Weisinger Incorporated for emergency repairs at water plant No. 4, well number 6 at 6850 Franz Road for $24,580.00; water plant no. 6, well no.8 for $26,705.00 and well no. 9A for $42,659.00, both located at 27515 Highway Blvd.

· Council authorized the issuance of unlimited tax bond series 2025 by Katy West MUD, not to exceed $15,750,000.00. City officials said that this was specifically for drainage in the MUD, which was formerly known at Fort Bend-Waller Counties MUD No. 2.


Mayor Dusty Thiele began the meeting by asking for a moment of silence to honor those lost in the flooding in the Hill Country in early July. During the “mayor and council member remarks” portion of the meeting, every council member recognized and thanked members of the local community who stepped up in response to needs for funds and supplies, as well as displaying green ribbons of support in their neighborhoods. “We’ve been through these disasters and we know how to respond,” said Mayor Pro Tem Chris Harris.


The July 28 meeting of city council has been cancelled. The next meeting of Katy’s city council will be August 11 at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall, 901 Avenue C in Katy.
