The Killeen City Council discussed a possible contract with an Austin law firm to provide redistricting services during a workshop meeting Tuesday.
Council members heard a presentation from City Manager Kent Cagle regarding an Interlocal Cooperation contract with Bickerstaff Heath Delgado Acosta, a law firm in Austin. Itâs estimated to cost the city $27,190, should officials agree to sign.
A vote on the resolution was postponed last week so that some council members could gain a better understanding of why the services were needed before moving forward.
Bickerstaff would determine if Killeenâs voting districts are unbalanced during an initial assessment. If it is determined the districts need to be redrawn, the law firm will work with the city to determine a redistricting process to redraw the lines so they are in compliance with the law.
Bridge Repairs Will Cause Delays, Closures on Loop 287 in Lufkin
Earlier this month, an accident on Loop 287 at the FM 58 overpass resulted in damage to a bridge beam at that location. Upon inspection, it was concluded that repairs would soon need to be made to that beam. Well, soon is here.

Specifically, the damage was caused by a bridge strike when an oversized truck traveled beneath the bridge. The damage extends across both northbound lanes of Loop 287 and will require alternating lane closures until repairs are completed. The repairs are scheduled to start on Monday, May 24. The estimated time of completion for the repairs is 10 days, weather permitting. As we ve seen recently, that weather permitting part can be a little iffy.
