The Fulshear City Council has set a tentative date for a joint workshop with the Fulshear Planning Commission to set city goals for 2010.
At this week’s meeting, council members penciled in Feb. 4 as the date for the joint meeting. That date is subject to change depending on the availability of planning commission members.
Councilman Derek Einkauf proposed the joint session, saying a coordinated effort was needed to ensure the city adequately meets the needs of its growing population.
He said he had hoped to schedule such a meeting last year, but those plans never came to fruition.
“This is something I pushed very hard for last year, and time just got away from us,” Einkauf said. “Without proper planning, things are left undone. This will also give developers and citizens more transparency on what the city wants to do.”
Councilman Stephen Gill agreed the planning session was needed, and recommended city department heads also play a key role.
“I think we should ask the department heads to give us some ideas of things to be discussed,” Gill said.
“No question,” Einkauf agreed, saying both department heads and area developers should be invited to participate.
“This way we can come out with a list of goals and things we want to accomplish this year,” he added.
Council members agreed and plans are to hold the workshop at city hall.
The meeting will be open to the public.
