ELGIN CITY COUNCIL MEETING June 16 , 2026
Published: Jun 16, 2026
Elgen City Council Approves Utility Line Relocation for County Line Road Project
The Elgen City Council approved a resolution authorizing the city manager to execute an agreement for utility line relocation related to the County Line Road widening project. This agreement facilitates the necessary movement of Aqua's existing utility line further onto private easement to accommodate the road expansion. The relocation is being coordinated with Aqua, city staff, and private landowners. The cost of this relocation is covered by existing developer fees. The council unanimously approved the motion.
Elgen City Council Approves Creation of Public Information Officer Position
The Elgen City Council passed a resolution authorizing the creation of a new full-time equivalent (FTE) position for a Public Information Officer (PIO). This role will be established within the city's organizational structure and will report to the city manager's office. This action separates the PIO duties from the Community Services Director, who previously handled both roles. The council confirmed that the PIO for the police department will remain a separate position. The resolution passed with unanimous approval from the council members present.
Dr. Amber Rose Appointed to Bastrop County Advisory Board of Health
The Elgen City Council appointed Dr. Amber Rose to the Bastrop County Advisory Board of Health. The city is obligated to have one representative on this board to voice Elgen's perspective on county public health matters. Dr. Rose, a healthcare provider, was chosen over another applicant, Valerie Knight, due to her direct experience in the health field, which was deemed important for addressing public health issues effectively. The position became vacant when Mr. Roger Adams stepped down. The appointment ensures Elgen has representation and a voice in county-level health discussions. The motion to appoint Dr. Rose passed unanimously.
Council Member Silva Appointed to Capcog General Assembly
The Elgen City Council appointed Council Member Silva to represent the city as its representative to the Capitol Area Council of Governments (Capcog) General Assembly. Previously, Mayor Pro Tem Love and former Council Member Chuck Swain held this role. With only one meeting per year now, the role is less demanding. Council Member Silva expressed interest in the position. The motion to appoint Mr. Silva passed with all present council members voting in favor, including Council Member Silva himself.
Elgen City Council Authorizes $12 Million Water Development Board Grant Application
The Elgen City Council passed a resolution authorizing the city manager to apply for financial assistance from the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB). The city is requesting up to $12 million for water infrastructure projects. The application will focus on 'shovel-ready' projects to maximize competitiveness. Two primary projects are targeted: the expansion of the water treatment plant, partially funded by a previous MIT MOD grant, and a rehabilitation project for the Pistol Hill tank to augment storage capacity. These projects are designed to protect current water investments and address immediate needs. The resolution passed with unanimous council support.
