Fulshear City Council on Jan. 28 voted on a series of routine and substantive measures, approving an array of consent and business items including the designation of a recognized sports association for Eagle Landing Park, adoption of updated parks and utility fees, approval of a services agreement tied to an annexation, and authorization of engineering services for off‑site wells for the Pecan Knoll water plant.

Council opened the meeting, moved through citizen comments and staff reports, then approved the consent agenda in a single motion. The council then recessed for and returned from an executive session under Section 551.087 of the Texas Open Meetings Act and proceeded with the business agenda.

Key actions taken:
- Approved HTX Soccer as the Recognized Sports Association (RSA) for Eagle Landing Park for a two‑year initial term. Staff said Fulshear Sports Association scored highest on staff evaluations but the Parks & Recreation Commission vote tied. Council member Johnson moved the HTX motion and the motion carried. The RSA gives priority scheduling to the partner but staff said up to two fields will be reserved for community use.

- Adopted an update to the Parks and Recreation master fee schedule to establish field rental, deposit, lighting, concession and related fees tied to Eagle Landing Park and other facilities. Staff said fee levels were set to be competitive while recovering maintenance costs.

- Approved a professional services agreement with Brown & Caldwell in the amount of $1,406,028 for design work tied to off‑site shallow and deep wells and a collector line to the Pecan Knoll water plant.

- Adopted Ordinance No. 2025‑1473 ordering the May 3, 2025 general election and opened the application period through Feb. 14, 2025.

- Approved a written services agreement with Fulshear Sports Club LLC related to the annexation of a 9.06‑acre tract in the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction; annexation and zoning votes on the parcel were scheduled for a later meeting.

- Approved Resolution 2025‑652 setting the city’s 2025 legislative program (council amended language to include support for protections related to HOA expansion) and selected Cornerstone (Tyler Nelson) as the city’s legislative lobbyist for the 89th Texas Legislature.

- Approved Resolution 2025‑653 adopting updated utility fees and adopted Ordinance No. 2025‑1477 updating park rules.

Other business included authorization for one Parks & Recreation commissioner to attend the TRAPS Institute & Expo, staff presentations on park master planning and Primrose Park Phase 3 concepts, and continued discussion of timing for a potential bond election. Staff recommended delaying a May bond election because of timing and legislative uncertainty; several council members asked staff to be prepared to act quickly if council directs next week to call a bond election.
