Brazos County voters this November get to decide the fate of two rare special questions. In Texas, state law allows livestock to roam free unless voters pass a ban. Brazos County judge Duane Peters announced at Tuesday’s meeting (August 6) that a Wixon Valley area man collected enough signatures of certified voters who are also landowners to place special questions on this November’s ballot. The county commission’s general counsel, Bruce Erratt, said 50 signatures were required to ask voters to ban roaming hogs, sheep, goats, horses, mules, donkeys, jacks, and jennets. 20 signatures were required to ask voters to ban roaming cattle. Erratt said he and the elections administrator are drafting ballot language. Click HERE to read and download the petition language asking for a vote to ban roaming cattle in Brazos County.

The College Station city council gives the green light to proceed with a nearly $21 million dollar repurposing what was supposed to be a baseball field complex. Due to bad soil quality off Rock Prairie Road at Texas Independence Park, the council unanimously supported a new master plan that parks and recreation director Kelsey Heiden described as having more passive uses. Click HERE to read and download presentation materials associated with the master plan that was approved at the August 8, 2024 College Station city council meeting. The park will include College Station’s first 18 hole disc golf course. Incorporated into the park will be walking and bike trails. There will also be a fishing pond, green space for pickup games, and what Heiden describes as a destination play experience. The council directed staff to solicit proposals to finalize designs that were developed by an outside company and by Texas A&M students with public input. Yet to be decided are funding sources and the construction schedule for the various features. The council approving the master plan comes as construction is wrapping up on a restroom building.
