Fulshear approves $271K in municipal complex weather repairs

The city of Fulshear will make repairs to multiple city buildings following Hurricane Beryl with hopes to mitigate future storm damage, officials said.

The details

At a Sept. 17 meeting, Fulshear City Council approved a $271,491 contract with JLS Real Estate for City Hall and police department building repairs for damage caused by Beryl.

According to agenda documents, facility exterior repairs will cost $250,646, and will include repairs to windows and drainage, following leaking issues. Meanwhile, interior repairs will cost $20,845 for plywood repair and replacement as well as insulation and sheetrock installation.

The repairs will be funded by surplus funds from the fiscal year 2023-24 budget, City Manager Zach Goodlander said. Additionally, city staff will continue to seek reimbursement from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Texas Division of Emergency Management.

Looking ahead

A timeline has not been set for the project as employees will have to be shifted around during window repair, Public Works Assistant Director Tiffany Stodder said.
