Anna meeting summaries, agendas, and minutes

Anna council to vote on Atmos rate settlement, water stage; recent agendas show tax rate, $54M bond proposals

No decisions from Anna's recent government meetings have been published yet, as minutes are not available for the Aug. 11 City Council session or the Aug. 17 Parks Advisory Board meeting. The most consequential action on the calendar is the City Council's Aug. 25 regular meeting, where members are scheduled to vote on a negotiated Atmos Energy rate settlement and a resolution declaring Stage 1 of the 2026 Water Resource and Emergency Management Plan.

Recent meetings (agenda only, no decisions published)

Anna City Council to weigh economic development incentive for Willow Creek Addition Phase 1B

The Anna City Council has scheduled three readings and a final action on a resolution approving an economic development incentive agreement with White & Willow - Anna, LLC for the Willow Creek Addition Phase 1B project. That item heads a packed July 14 council agenda that also includes water easements, an engineering contract, and public improvement district assessments.

All meetings below are listed as agenda-only — minutes have not yet been published, so no outcomes, votes, or dollar figures beyond what appears on the agendas can be confirmed.

City Council — July 14, 2026

The council has two separate agenda items posted for the same date.

Economic development and contracts. The council will take first, second, and final readings of a resolution approving an economic development incentive agreement with White & Willow - Anna, LLC for Willow Creek Addition Phase 1B. No dollar amount for the incentive is listed on the agenda.

Other scheduled consent resolutions include:

• A resolution to acquire a permanent water easement along State Highway 5.
• A resolution authorizing a professional engineering services agreement with Parkhill for County Road 423 design.
• A resolution authorizing a no-cost interlocal cooperation contract with the University of Texas at Austin Regional Security Operations Center for cyber services.
• A resolution determining costs and assessment plans for the Liberty Hills Public Improvement District and calling a public hearing on August 11, 2026.

Executive session. A separate council agenda calls for a closed session under Texas Government Code exceptions. Topics listed are: consultation with legal counsel regarding pending or contemplated litigation; discussion of the purchase, exchange, lease, or valuation of real property; deliberation of economic development negotiations and possible financial incentives; and discussion of personnel matters involving the City Secretary and Fire Chiefs. No specific actions or votes are listed for the executive session.

Planning and Zoning Commission — July 6, 2026

The commission scheduled a public hearing on amendments to Chapter 9 of the City of Anna Code of Ordinances, which covers Planning and Development Regulations. No details on the substance of the amendments are included in the agenda summary.

The commission was also set to consider several replats, site plans, and final plats:

• Anna Elementary No. 3, Block 1, Lot 1, Replat (RP 26-0006).
• Leonard Commercial, Block A, Lot 1, Preliminary Site Plan (PSP 26-0009).
• Shadowbend Commercial, Block A, Lot 7, Replat (RP 26-0007).
• Liberty Hills, Phase 3 and Phase 4, Final Plats (FP 26-0009, FP 26-0010).

Because minutes have not been published, it is not yet known which of these items were approved, tabled, or continued.

What this means for residents

The Willow Creek Addition Phase 1B incentive agreement and the Liberty Hills public improvement district assessment plans are the items most likely to affect city finances and resident costs. The water easement along State Highway 5 and the County Road 423 engineering contract relate to infrastructure residents use day to day. The Chapter 9 amendments taken up by Planning and Zoning could shape how future development is reviewed in Anna.

Coming up

No upcoming meetings are listed for the next 14 days. The next publicly noted date is the August 11, 2026 public hearing on the Liberty Hills Public Improvement District, if the council's July 14 resolution calling that hearing is adopted.
