Topics getting the most attention in Rockport public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Downtown decorative lighting appropriation
A $36,080.10 appropriation from the General Fund would pay for Decor IQ lights in downtown Rockport — a visible upgrade to the area's appearance and atmosphere.
Tree Mitigation and Preservation Account
The committee was to get an update on the balance of the Tree Mitigation and Preservation Account, the fund that supports tree planting and preservation efforts across the city.

$85 After-hours Utility Service Charge
An $85 charge now applies for any after-hours utility turn-on, turn-off, or meter lock trip. It's not new — it just covers the cost of getting a crew out after hours.

Appointee Performance Evaluation Process
The Council was scheduled to go into closed session to discuss how it evaluates the annual performance of the City Manager, Municipal Judge, and City Secretary — a process that affects accountability for the city's top appointed officials.
