Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Flower Mound public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Massage Business Regulations
Flower Mound just passed a strict new ordinance on local massage parlors to crack down on illicit activity. These businesses now face tighter operating hours and a higher risk of being shut down if they break the rules.
Post Oak Preservation
The town is exploring updates to its tree preservation regulations to better protect native post oaks, which grow slowly and face pressures from intense urbanization and changing property care practices. Proposed changes include establishing a dedicated post oak mitigation fund and refining mitigation standards for mid-sized trees.
Land Swap
Flower Mound and Argyle just swapped a bit over 70 acres near I-35W to make their town boundaries make more sense. Argyle ended up with some extra land near the floodplain that they can use for future open space or businesses.
Historical Commission Meeting Transparency
Double Oak residents are fed up with town leaders being shady and slow to respond. They're worried about permit delays and unanswered questions, fearing special interests might be getting preferential treatment over what the community actually needs.
Solid Waste Contract Renewal
The town updated its trash and recycling contract with Republic Services, raising monthly rates to $20.40 inclusive of fees, reducing observed holidays to streamline pickups, increasing senior discounts, and adding a twice-annual green waste collection program.
State of the City address
Flower Mound's mayor is celebrating the town's wins, highlighting a major bond package for roads and parks. Good news: these upgrades are happening without adding to the town's debt, so expect improvements soon!
Town Manager Appointment
Flower Mound just got a brand new town manager to run the city's day-to-day operations. The Town Council made it official, putting a fresh leader at the helm of local administration.
