ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS:

In April 2026, the Parks and Recreation Department was awarded a Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Green Ribbon Grant for construction of landscape improvements at the intersections of IH 35E and Main Street and IH 35E and Fox Avenue. As a requirement of the grant, the City must enter into an Advance Funding Agreement (AFA) with TxDOT to provide for the distribution of grant funds and establish the City’s commitment to comply with TxDOT requirements governing the use of those funds.  Prior to finalizing the AFA, TxDOT requires the City Council to approve a resolution authorizing the City to proceed with the agreement. A similar version was previously presented to the City Council on September 21; however, it required updates to address TxDOT's revisions. This resolution will supersede resolution 0875-26-RES. Following Council approval, the resolution will be provided to TxDOT for incorporation into the AFA. The AFA will then undergo final TxDOT review and will subsequently be presented to the City Council for approval and authorization of execution. City staff anticipates this will occur in November 2026. The City is responsible for funding the design of the project and any construction overruns.  Design is currently underway. Funding is available in the Main Street and Fox Avenue Green Ribbon 2026 capital project.

RECOMMENDATION:

That the City Council approve the resolution as set forth in the caption above.
