At Tuesday's meeting, City Council voted and heard presentations addressing a variety of aspects of life in Kyle, from drainage to sidewalks to pie. Here are the highlights. City takes first steps to develop drainage master plan City Council unanimously approved a $177,500 contract to develop a storm drainage and flood risk mitigation master plan. With Halff Associates Inc., an Austin company, the city will create a plan to address critical drainage problems and future development. The maximum $177,500 for the contract will come from the drainage utility fund and is already included in the city budget. Kyle could become the official Pie Capital of Texas City Manager Scott Sellers gave a presentation on Kyle becoming the official Pie Capital of Texas. Sellers said the city has applied for a trademark to use in marketing to foster economic development as well as use as a tourism destination tool. “We here in Kyle are very fond of our pie,” he said. The city plans to incorporate pie into future events, such as the inaugural hot air balloon festival over Labor Day weekend that they will call “Pie in the Sky.” Council looks at sidewalk program District 4 Council Member David Wilson gave a presentation on a proposed sidewalk maintenance program. Wilson said he's interested in beginning a program in which Kyle residents contract with a local concrete company to fix sidewalks. Under current city ordinance, homeowners are responsible for their sidewalks. However, city departments have been going out and repairing select, badly damaged sidewalks for around at least a decade. Mayor Todd Webster clarified that they are not proposing that the city will fix everybody’s sidewalks. They would merely act as a middleman to negotiate a fixed price. “It’s basically a discount program for people who want their sidewalks fixed,” Webster said. Sellers said city staff would come back with an item for the council to vote on at a future meeting. Kyle helps out neighbor Buda with water sharing City council unanimously approved an agreement between the city and the Hays Caldwell Public Utility Agency for the construction of a water line extension to connect Kyle and Buda’s water systems. The HCPUA is a public entity that develops long-term water supplies for San Marcos, Buda and Kyle. The organization is funded by the Canyon Regional Water Authority and the cities themselves. The water line extension will help Buda, the city with the most urgent water needs in the partnership.
