The North Richland Hills City Council met on August 25, 2025, starting with a work session at 5:00 PM followed by a regular meeting after executive session (after 7:00 PM). The work session focused on finalizing short-term rental regulations, discussing House Bill 1522 notice posting changes, a future agenda item, and the city manager's report. The regular meeting included public hearings on the FY 2026 proposed budget and tax rate, approval of a professional services agreement for water infrastructure, and awarding a trail construction contract. The council received no public comments during either public hearing or the citizens presentation segment.
Matt was stuck in traffic in Harwood and Davis. Yes. You're stuck in traffic. Pulling in the parking lot right now. Via text he's sending me. All right, we'll go ahead and roll. Good evening. Welcome to North Hudson Hills City Council meeting work session. It is five o'clock, and I will call the Monday, August 25th, 2025. City Council work session to order. A quorum of the city council is present, and the meeting has been duly posted in accordance with Text Open Meetings Act of the Texas Government Code. Items listed for discussion on the work session agenda provide an opportunity for the city council to discuss the items and receive information from the staff. City Council will not take action on any of the items listed for discussion during the work session. Any members of the public wishing to address the council during items listed on the work session agenda may do so during the public comments portion of the regular meeting. The first item up for is for the city council, gives them the opportunity to ask questions of items on the regular agenda that the council has not had clarification on at this time. Anybody? No, no, no. We're rolling to the next one then. Corey is up for the short-term rental regulations. The long awaited and very excited by a lot of people. Um presentation. And just before before Corey gets started, just to let you know, Brad Bradley does uh tend to advise you on some of the issues related to this these regulations during executive session, which we've we've posted that. Um so just so you know some of the questions that you may have. Bradley may want to advise us in executive session when we get to that point. I'll try really hard to hint at that if you start going down a path I'm not ready to talk about out here. Okay. So we are at the home stretch now, finally, of the short-term rental ordinance. Um I think you've all been following along, and I know attended some of our other meetings and discussions, but just to run through for everybody who may not be familiar, or especially for the public to see, I guess, all the work that has been put into this to date. Um May 27th. I should start back. I know there were some additional conversations prior to that, but really May 27th was the first meeting that we had that we really kicked off the really in-depth discussion about a short-term rental ordinance. On that date, we had a combined conversation about the single family rental uh inspection process and short-term rental ordinance. Uh, and that was with the change for the single family program to allow for a self-inspection process. There was feedback at that time that the council wanted to make sure that that could move forward as a separate piece and not be held up by the short-term rental ordinance. So we kind of moved both forward at the June 9th meeting.
