Liberty roundup: $500,000 street engineering item, airport gate FOBs, and a Nov. 3 election town hall
Records available for Liberty's past two weeks of government meetings are agendas only — minutes have not yet been published for the City Council, the Airport Advisory Board, or the city's Town Hall on the November 3rd Special Election. No votes, approvals, or payments are recorded in the supplied material. What follows is what each body listed for discussion or action. The absence of minutes does not establish that no action was taken.
City Council: street reconstruction and grant contracts
At its October 13 meeting, the City Council was scheduled to take up several professional service contracts, including engineering and grant administration for a Texas General Land Office program. Listed on the agenda was up to $500,000 for Engineering Services from the Cambridge Fund for street reconstruction.
The council also listed contracts for grant administration and engineering services for the Mitigation Reallocation Program (MRP) grant, a variance request for a manufactured home at 312 Industrial Place, amendments to the sign ordinance and a sign request for Liberty Medical Surgical Clinic, and an HVAC Replacement Project at the Library.
Because minutes are not yet published, the records do not show whether the council acted on any of these items, or what any contract would ultimately cost.
Airport Advisory Board: gate access FOBs and 2027 planning
The Airport Advisory Board was scheduled to meet Thursday, October 8, at 3:00 PM in City Council Chambers at 1829 Sam Houston. The agenda called for recommendations on new gate access FOBs — including setting dates and a process to issue them and go live, the number of FOBs per tenant, and criteria for additional FOBs — along with outstanding issues.
Members also listed possible improvements to tenant invoicing and late fees, planning for 2027 projects, and an Airport Manager report covering projects, TxDOT grants, and the ALP. The agenda included approval of the August 13, 2026 minutes and a public comment period limited to three minutes per speaker.
Town Hall on the November 3rd Special Election
The City of Liberty scheduled a Town Hall for October 15 regarding the November 3rd Special Election. The format was a staff presentation by City Manager Bryan Kendrick and City Attorney Brandon Davis, followed by an open Q&A session. The notice states no action would be taken on city business during the event.
