Diesel dumping case spurs message from city A case of illegal diesel disposal was reported in the Country Estates subdivision in Hutto May 30. What happened? Director of Emergency Management Jake Isbell confirmed 25 gallons of diesel were discharged in a local storm drain and flowed into nearby greenery, which initiated city and county protocols for an environmental contaminant. Barriers were deployed to contain the spread and a treatment was used to mitigate the impact, according to city officials. The response According to the Hutto Emergency Response team, residents should properly dispose of chem- ical substances at area disposal centers. It’s also recommended residents call ahead to determine what material centers will take, which include:
Hutto adopts new sidewalk program Hutto City Council approved a program June 6 supporting the build out of sidewalks throughout new neighborhoods in the city. Explained Under previous city rules, developers building subdivisions within city limits were required to construct sidewalks or shared-use paths. However, city projects sometimes delay or prevent construction of these paths. With City Council’s approval, developers may now sign a construction and escrow agreement, allowing the company to set aside funds to a city-managed account for the construction of sidewalks at a future date. These funds may now only be used for side- walks or shared-use paths within the same subdivision where the escrow funds were dedicated, according to city documents.

Council again denies request for food truck license
A request for a license agreement to host two food trucks on property outside the Three Legged Goat was denied by Pflugerville City Council members June 11. The overview The proposal sought approval for an agreement to allow the Three Legged Goat in downtown Pflugerville to host up to two food trucks on
neighboring city-owned property for six months, charging a monthly $250 fee per food truck. The terms dictated that the Three Legged Goat would ensure compliance with all relevant city rules and regulations. The request comes less than a year after council declined to amend a similar agreement in Septem- ber 2023 that effectively removed food trucks from the downtown lot at 103 N. Railroad Ave.
