Mertzon City Council June 1 2026

Agenda Analysis | Meeting Review | Meeting Documents | Commentary | Last Meeting

NOTE: There is a special meeting of the Mertzon City Council and the Irion County Commissioners Court on June 2, 2026 to address the 765 kV cases. That page is pending.

Texas Health and Safety Code 342.001 allows a municipality to regulate stagnant water. I had previously thought of this new pond on 2nd St. on IC ISD property as an issue for the Texas School Safety Commission. It is that, but the City also has broad authority to regulate it even when it is not on municipal property. And, as a reminder for why IC ISD cannot simply dump its stormwater onto my property and my neighbors' property in the picture above, see Texas Water Code 11.086.

A. Agenda Analysis

1. 2nd Street drainage, item 5: This is a continuation of the extension of the MOU, found here executed by IC ISD and previously addressed here by the City Council.

2. Speed bumps on Duncan, item 6: I did not attend this part of the last meeting when this was addressed. The language of the item is written so that they can approve the installation of the speed bumps.

3. The rest, items 7-10: Standard fare, but always important.

When John Cornyn was the Texas Attorney General he was a member of my Race for the Cure team honoring my wife when she had breast cancer. I never worked for Ken Paxton. I don't do endorsements on this site. The best place to be in Irion County is as an Independent.
