The Conroe City Council convened on June 25, 2025, to discuss several key agenda items, including housing developments, water district annexations, and changes to Microsoft licensing agreements.

The meeting began with an update on the city's housing initiatives. Council members were informed that four homes are currently under construction, with hopes to complete them before the holiday season, contingent on weather conditions. The council expressed enthusiasm about the ongoing housing program, which has successfully built nearly 100 homes in the community. However, concerns were raised regarding potential funding challenges for the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program due to unfavorable developments at the federal level. The council plans to reach out to local congressional representatives to address these concerns.

Next, the council discussed a resolution to consent to the addition of approximately 29.236 acres to the Montgomery County Water Control and Improvement District Number 205. This annexation is necessary to provide infrastructure and water services to the area. The council noted that this district is part of a larger area previously discussed, which includes 594 homes and additional lots. The annexation aims to ensure that the water district can adequately serve the growing community.

The final agenda item addressed a change in Microsoft licensing from an Enterprise Agreement (EA) to an Online Services Government (AOSG) model. This shift will allow the city to manage its Office 365 licenses more flexibly, enabling monthly adjustments rather than being locked into a long-term agreement. The council anticipates that this change will result in cost savings and improved operational efficiency.

In conclusion, the meeting highlighted the council's ongoing commitment to community development and infrastructure improvements, while also navigating potential challenges in funding and resource management. The council will continue to monitor these developments and engage with relevant stakeholders to ensure the needs of Conroe residents are met.
