Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in The Colony public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Precious metals and coin dealer SUP at 5000 Main Street
KC Gold, Silver and Rare Coins is relocating to the Shops at Colony and needs a specific use permit to operate. Staff added conditions to keep it from becoming a pawn shop, and the police department will review security at the certificate-of-occupancy stage.
Auto parts and accessory sales SUP at 4177 Main Street
The commission took the first step toward allowing an auto parts and accessories shop (inside sales only) at the Lone Star Car Wash development near Main Street and Ridgepointe Drive. The actual business would still need a separate specific use permit hearing, where operating details will be set.
FM 423 median lighting repairs
58 light fixtures along the 3.75-mile stretch of FM 423 are damaged or dark. A $382,000 contract will fix them all, with work done in four to six weeks.
NTTA law enforcement services agreement
With DPS gone from the tollway, The Colony police will formally cover NTTA property and get reimbursed up to $672,068 over two years — money in, not out.
Crossing guard pay and school-year services
The city renewed crossing guard services for 2026-27 at $153,430.20 — the same meeting a resident asked that guards get a raise.
City Facility Energy Upgrades (Schneider Electric)
Council directed staff toward a $50,000 detailed energy audit with Schneider Electric. The company projects $80,000-$100,000 in annual utility savings that could fund $4-5 million in lighting, HVAC, and controls upgrades over 20 years — with savings guaranteed by the contractor.
