2 articles · Updated · SouthTexasNews.com · Jul 14

Summary

  • Falls City Council meets at 6 p.m. Wednesday to consider selling Maverick Street lots, a variance request for 824 Riviere Drive and maintenance for the city's 100-kilowatt backup generator.
  • Two internet-service changes are also on the agenda, with council set to review switching the Utility Department from AT&T Mobility to T-Mobile and City Hall from Starlink to T-Mobile.
  • An executive session will focus on a possible settlement over competing real-property claims tied to Karnes County Block 43, Lot 10 and the Balser estates.
  • Open-session action afterward could let the city administrator negotiate with the Forrest Charles Balser Child's Trust and return later with a formal agreement.
