Fort Bend County to open 2nd all-abilities park in Fulshear A superhero-themed all-abilities park is com- ing to Fulshear after City Council approved an interlocal agreement March 18 to allow Fort Bend County right-of-way access to complete the park. The estimated $3.4 million Super Dave’s All Abilities Park at 4200 Katy Fulshear Road will pro- vide accessibility for all children, including those with disabilities, Darren McCarthy, county parks and recreation director, said in an email. County parks bonds will fund the 1.6-acre park, the second all-abilities park the county is spearheading. Going forward County commissioners approved the agreement at a March 25 meeting. The county will advertise the project for bid during the third quarter of this year, McCarthy said.
Fulshear terminates attorney Byron Brown Fulshear Attorney Byron Brown was fired March 4 after a vote by City Council. The decision to change legal counsel was made as the city faces challenges and oppor- tunities with rapid growth, Mayor Don McCoy said in an email. The personnel matter was decided in an executive session, so the city cannot share why the contract was ended. “Our focus remains in ensuring the city is well-positioned to meet the needs of our community while maintaining transparency, efficiency and sound legal guidance,” McCoy said in the email. Next steps Assistant City Attorney Josh Green and the city’s third-party legal firm, Olson and Olson, will oversee attorney duties until a new city attorney is hired, officials said.
