\"We continue to have issues with standing water even though we have spent over $70,000 in drainage,\" Langford said during the public-comment period. She described installing two pumps and two retention ponds that route excess water to a ditch she said is more than 100 yards away.

Langford told the council she had contacted city staff in prior years — naming Jack Murphy, Jody Hicks and Christopher Simms — and that staff visited the property. She said she provided the council with three copies of photographs and documentation, including an email from the city dated February 2006, and asked the council to provide information about options and a long-term plan.

\"The swell that the city made metal gates put in needs to be widened and deepened to allow the water to drain faster,\" Langford said, using the meeting transcript wording for the referenced subdivision. She asked the council to consider digging out and enlarging the ditch behind her property.

The comments were part of the public-comment period; the meeting record does not show the council taking immediate action or directing staff at that time. Langford’s request for follow-up and the materials she provided were entered into the record during the public-comments portion of the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","League City - Regular Meetings - Jul 08, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Resident Sandra Langford told the council her Smith Lane property and neighbors have experienced recurring flooding since nearby subdivision construction in 2006 and asked the city to widen and deepen the swale; she said she has spent more than $70,000 on drainage measures and requested the city present options and a long-term plan.","taxTitle","League City, Galveston County, Texas","taxId",2795,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6511265,"Lehi City Council sets Aug. 26 public hearings for FY2026 proposed budget",36,363000,399000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5332856-19cc58eba158f0b08a16c7d62cd7ec42&start=363&end=399","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5332856-19cc58eba158f0b08a16c7d62cd7ec42/thumbnail_363000.jpg","/articles/6511265/League-City/Galveston-County/Texas/Lehi-City-Council-sets-Aug-26-public-hearings-for-FY2026-proposed-budget","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6511265-6a94b036e092678a998672345c63f2d9/orig.mp4?Expires=1771207316&Signature=aR5IIX8QmB70hd5hStQbT~uwWL7cKJf8VObUADlrktTq66FompmTEs224PSIOLGURUmU9wTQDFxKAb~ONRDrer6bH2MauOtKwPC--AFH50rJoAfHsHEi-h30rvfQ3FIcQFBHojIZCRWWnorgOOu5-nBdyD96v38BVbxpRYjRlP6-C2VMJ2Hr1g7BkoAv9dJPDl-EZgE93Xv3~6CjjghesaS1TbOcsbLDhHckhVNKyzncMANBYEdCKgb66rdAo1XfXaFRelaZs48-1OogWN8NCIwSN4O8IYrs42YjaYcsSbhnyjpc4bUCo6z97CDjwxIly2tmUUjAvdgaJYqrdekQnQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Lehi City Council on July 8 set Aug. 26, 2025, as the date for public hearings on the proposed fiscal year 2026 budget.
