City Council Approves Bonds and Plans for Liberty Hills Development
The City Council considered and approved ordinances related to the Liberty Hills Public Improvement District Number Two, Improvement Area Number One. This included approving the service and assessment plan, designating the Director of Public Works for grant matters, and authorizing the issuance of up to $20 million in Special Assessment Revenue Bonds. The council also acted as the board for Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone (TIRZ) Number Seven, approving a resolution recommending the final reinvestment zone project and financing plan, and an ordinance approving the adjustment to the TIRZ plan to accommodate the PID assessments.
City Council Approves Disannexation for Property Owner Citing City Errors
The City Council considered a request for disannexation of two parcels of property owned by Mr. Brad Neville. Mr. Neville cited issues stemming from a development agreement from 2010 not being followed, leading to his business being shut down after Collin County questioned building permits issued by the City of Anna. He requested to be removed from the city's ETJ to operate under a single jurisdiction. While staff could not recommend approval based on annexation policies, the council ultimately approved the disannexation.
Officer Recognized for Heroic Actions During Structure Fire Rescue
Corporal Barrientos was recognized with a certificate of appreciation for his actions during a structure fire on May 18th, 2026. Upon arrival, he heard a report of a trapped occupant in the attic and entered the smoke-filled residence. He located the occupant and guided them safely out, preventing injury to both individuals. Chief Einstein and firefighter colleagues acknowledged his decisive actions likely saved the occupant's life.
