Lampasas council schedules Saddle Ridge plat vote, short-term rental tax discussion in busy budget season

Lampasas City Council has scheduled its most consequential agenda item of the past two weeks for July 13: a public hearing and possible action on the preliminary plat of the Saddle Ridge Subdivision, a 12.73-acre parcel from the James Easley survey abstract 185, near existing commercial and residential zones.

Minutes have not yet been published for any of the recent meetings, so it is not yet confirmed which items resulted in final decisions. The following reflects what was listed on the agendas.

City Council budget workshops

The council held or scheduled three budget workshops between July 6 and July 13, all focused on the Fiscal Year 2027 budget. The July 8 workshop was set for 12:00 p.m. at the Calvert Municipal Building, 302 E Third Street. No votes or specific funding allocations were listed on any of the workshop agendas; each was designated for discussion only.

July 13 council agenda: land, ordinances, and spending

Beyond the Saddle Ridge plat, the July 13 agenda included:

• Second reading of an ordinance modifying Mobile Food Vendor Units regulations.
• First reading of an ordinance adding Division 3 on Transformers to Chapter 82 Utilities, Article IV.
• Discussion and possible action on a contract with the Lampasas Association for the Arts for Campbell Park use.
• Approval of purchases and charges exceeding $4,000 for May and June 2026.

The workshop portion also addressed how the city collects the seven percent Hotel Occupancy Tax from short-term rentals within city limits.

Parks & Recreation Advisory Board

On July 16, the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board met to discuss potential improvements at Campbell Municipal Park, including new Harmony Path sculptures and a new entrance. The board reviewed a proposed 2026 Joint Access and Shared Use Agreement with The Association for the Arts for an Art in the Park program and considered applying for an LCRA Community Grant. General maintenance updates and questions from the Lampasas County Youth League Association were also on the agenda.

What residents should watch

The Saddle Ridge Subdivision plat, if approved, would shape development on 12.73 acres near existing commercial and residential areas. The mobile food vendor and utility transformer ordinances, if adopted on second reading, would update local regulations. The purchases exceeding $4,000 for May and June 2026, if approved, represent city spending that residents can track through council records.

Coming up

• **Airport Advisory Board** — July 20, 2026. Agenda includes discussion of hanger policies, alternates' roles, social media and advertising, review of March 2026 minutes, and updates on airport maintenance and daily operations.

No other meetings are listed in the next 14 days. Residents seeking confirmed outcomes from the July 13 council meeting and July 16 parks board meeting should watch for published minutes.

Lampasas roundup: Saddle Ridge plat, FY27 budget workshops dominate a quiet week of agenda-only meetings

What happened this week

Lampasas residents saw a light schedule of recent government meetings, but minutes have not yet been published for any of them, so no official outcomes, votes, or decisions can be reported from the July 2, July 6, or July 8 sessions.

Planning & Zoning Commission — July 2

The Planning and Zoning Commission was scheduled to hold a public hearing and vote on the preliminary plat for the Saddle Ridge Subdivision, a replat of 12.73 acres in the James Easley Survey, Abstract 185. The item had been tabled at the June 4, 2026 meeting to allow the developer to provide additional lot width and depth information. The agenda also listed approval of June 4 minutes and a discussion of general planning and zoning inquiries and possible future zoning amendments. Because minutes are not yet published, the result of the plat vote is not available.

City Council budget workshops — July 6 and July 8

The City Council held two special meetings as budget workshops to discuss the Fiscal Year 2027 budget. The July 8 session was scheduled for 12:00 p.m. in the Calvert Municipal Building at 302 E Third Street. No votes or decisions were listed on either agenda; both items were listed for discussion only. The agendas did not include specific funding allocations or final budget figures.

Why this matters

The Saddle Ridge plat, if approved, would shape how 12.73 acres are subdivided for future development. The FY 2027 budget workshops set the financial framework for city services and operations beginning next fiscal year, though no dollar figures or allocations have been made public through these agendas.

Coming up

City Council — July 13 (two sessions): A budget workshop continues discussion of the FY 27 budget. A separate regular session includes a public hearing and action on the Saddle Ridge Subdivision preliminary plat (12.73 acres, James Easley Survey Abstract 185); discussion of how the city collects the 7 percent Hotel Occupancy Tax from short-term rentals within city limits; second reading of an ordinance modifying Mobile Food Vendor Units regulations; first reading of an ordinance adding Division 3 on Transformers to Chapter 82 Utilities, Article IV; discussion and possible action on a contract with the Lampasas Association for the Arts for Campbell Park use; and approval of purchases and charges exceeding $4,000 for May and June 2026.

Parks & Recreation Advisory Board — July 16: Discussion of a proposed 2026 Joint Access and Shared Use Agreement with The Association for the Arts for an Art in the Park program at Campbell Municipal Park; possible installation of Harmony Path sculptures and a new entrance at Campbell Park; possible submission for an LCRA Community Grant; updates on Sportsman Solution and Lampasas County Youth League Association questions; and review of general park maintenance and community projects.
