Following the public hearing and vote on the specific‑use permit for 2019 Pearl Street, the Nacogdoches City Council moved through the regular agenda and approved three other items by voice vote:
• Lake Nacogdoches West restroom rehabilitation — The council approved an $85,000 construction contract (ARPA-funded) with Flint River Logistics to rehabilitate two existing brick restroom buildings (upper restroom near the playground/disc‑golf area and lower restroom near the boat launch). Jessica Sala, community services director, said work includes prefab partitions, new fixtures (stainless steel), painting, and a new plumbing chase to simplify future plumbing repairs. The project came in under the $90,000 budget estimate and the contract was approved by motion and voice vote.
• Holdings LLC — Developer agreement (industrial park) — The council approved a developer‑reimbursement agreement not to exceed $103,243.75 to reimburse up to the first 500 feet of a gravity sewer extension serving Nakadoches Industrial Park West on Industrial Drive. Director/engineer Kaye Soperman explained the reimbursement process (developer pays up front; city reimburses upon inspection and verification) and developer Earl Herrera described industrial lots and prospective employers that could bring jobs.
• Charles Poole Jr. — Pearl Street sewer reimbursement — The council approved a developer‑reimbursement agreement not to exceed $66,830 to extend sewer service on Pearl Street to create three buildable residential lots. The speaker identifying himself as Ed Poole described plans for three single‑family homes and estimated the project would add taxable value.
Each motion passed by voice vote after staff presentations and brief council questions. Staff said reimbursements require final project documentation, inspection and testing before any payment is made. The council then convened an executive session on attorney‑client matters; no action was taken on return.
