Brookshire council approves estimates for urgent City Hall roof repairs

The City of Brookshire Council meeting held on April 17, 2025, focused on critical infrastructure issues, particularly concerning the ongoing roof repairs at City Hall and the convention center. Council members discussed the urgent need for repairs due to persistent leaks and plumbing problems that have not been addressed despite previous attempts.

During the meeting, it was revealed that a proposed $16,400 repair plan had not been executed, leaving the roof vulnerable to further damage. Council members expressed concern over the potential for leaks to worsen if proactive measures were not taken. The Public Works Director confirmed that there are existing issues with the roof, including drainage problems, and emphasized the importance of addressing these concerns before they escalate.

A motion was made to seek a contractor to provide an estimate for the necessary repairs, which was unanimously approved by the council. This decision reflects the council's commitment to maintaining city facilities and ensuring the safety and functionality of public spaces.

In addition to the roof repairs, the meeting briefly touched on police officer support for the community, although the police chief was not present to provide further details. The council's discussions indicate a focus on both infrastructure and community safety as key priorities for the city moving forward.
