The Conroe City Council meeting held on August 13, 2025, focused on several key issues, including a proposed temporary moratorium on subdivision site planning and development, agreements with the Conroe Independent School District (CISD), and various infrastructure projects aimed at improving the city's drainage systems.

During the public hearing, the council discussed an ordinance to enact a temporary moratorium on the acceptance and approval of subdivision site planning in specific areas of the city. This measure aims to address concerns related to development in those regions, although no public comments were made during the hearing.

The council then moved on to discuss an agreement with CISD regarding public infrastructure improvements related to school facilities. City officials highlighted the importance of collaboration with the school district, noting that they would comply with city replanning ordinances to alleviate concerns from residents in the Barton Creek Subdivision. The city plans to maintain water and sewer services while sharing costs for necessary upgrades, amounting to $364,000.

Another agreement discussed involved planning infrastructure improvements with CISD, a municipal utility district, and Bradbury Development Limited. This agreement is expected to save the city approximately $720,000, as it allows for necessary upgrades without additional costs to taxpayers.

The meeting also addressed the Boggy Creek drainage project, which aims to improve drainage infrastructure in the area. The council approved a design proposal from LJA Engineering, which included a significant cost reduction of $73,300, bringing the total project cost to $561,503. This project is crucial for protecting existing utilities and addressing drainage issues exacerbated by recent weather events.

Additionally, the council discussed drainage improvement projects in Gulfstream and Northampton, awarding a bid of $83,465 to Bridal Construction to address localized flooding issues that have affected residents.

The meeting concluded with discussions on a hazard mitigation grant program related to floodplain compliance for homes rebuilt after Hurricane Harvey, as well as a proposed stormwater utility fee study aimed at generating revenue for stormwater management.

Overall, the council's discussions reflect ongoing efforts to enhance infrastructure, address community concerns, and ensure compliance with environmental regulations in Conroe.
