Colleyville City Council has approved a settlement agreement with C. Greenscaping concerning outstanding payments for community tower features along key locations, including John McCain, Main Street, and Brown Trail. This decision, made during the council's recent meeting, resolves a lawsuit that arose from the city's efforts to collect damages due to project delays.

The settlement stipulates that the city will pay the remaining funds owed under the original contract, totaling $89,610, while retaining the interest accumulated on the holdback funds. This outcome comes after recent court rulings limited the city's ability to claim additional damages, prompting the council to opt for a settlement rather than pursue further legal action.

In light of the unexpected court decisions, council members expressed the need to restructure future contracts to ensure better performance and accountability from contractors. The council emphasized the importance of securing contracts that protect the city's interests and ensure timely project completion.

Additionally, the Colleyville Executive Organization hosted local legislators, indicating ongoing efforts to engage with state representatives on community issues. The council's proactive approach aims to enhance project management and safeguard public funds in future endeavors.
