Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Midland public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
ETJ Development and Water Sustainability
The Midkiff Industrial Center plat would add nearly two acres of industrial-platted land near South Midkiff Road, outside city limits but within the city's ETJ. Industrial growth near residential areas is often a point of resident concern.
Water Security and T-BAR Property
A hired security firm couldn't breach the city's computer systems but got under a fence at a water facility, prompting the $110,000 engineering contract for fencing, gates, and cameras — required by TCEQ to be engineer-stamped.
Water Infrastructure Capacity
Midland is partnering with Pioneer Natural Resources and Jacobs to upgrade its water infrastructure. This collaboration aims to ensure a stable and reliable water supply for the city's future needs.
