Body

BACKGROUND:

The Texas Legislature approved HB 2127 that preempts Home Rule cities from enacting regulations that conflict with certain state laws.  It was determined by staff that one section in Chapter 156, Private Wells, of the Code of Ordinances may not be in line with state law.  This revision provides for compliance in accordance with state law, as it may be amended.

 

STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION DESIRED:

Staff recommends adoption of this Ordinance revising Chapter 156 of the Code of Ordinances.
