In a nutshell: Jersey Village City Council members are scheduled to meet Oct. 27 to consider an $8.1 million Guaranteed Maximum Price with Brookstone LP for phase one of the City Campus project. The total cost for this phase is $9.5 million, which includes construction, architecture and engineering fees. No new city debt was issued for the agreement. Phase one construction is expected to take eight months and includes:

• Renovations to two buildings
• A new lobby
• Demolition of three buildings
• Site improvements

Some context: After three unsuccessful bond proposals, the council chose a pay-as-you-go approach instead of issuing new debt. Staff recommended three alternates totaling $167,919 that are already included in the Guaranteed Maximum Price.

Also on the agenda: The council will discuss the designated Houston-Galveston Area Council representative and alternate for the 2027 general assembly. Various purchases, including backhoe replacements and IT service renewals, are also up for approval.

George Bush Intercontinental Airport welcomed travelers to its redeveloped Terminal B North Concourse on Oct. 22, following an official unveiling on Oct. 21.

The big picture: The three-level, 765,000-square-foot facility is part of United Airlines' $2.6 billion Terminal B Transformation Program. The project began in November 2023 and is expected to increase the number of customers who can fly on peak travel dates in 2026 by 40% compared to 2023.

Zooming in: The redeveloped terminal features the following amenities:

• A 54,000-square-foot United Club, which is the largest airline club in the Americas

• Seating for 800 travelers, two full-service bars and two buffet stations inside the club

• 22 mainline gates, giving United Airlines 48 gates in Terminal B

• 10 large-scale art installations and a dedicated sensory room

• 105,000 square feet of space for retail and concessions

• Climate-controlled jet bridges and a new baggage handling system

Looking ahead: The expansion will also allow United Airlines to add new international destinations, including service to Tuxtla Gutierrez, Mexico; Cartagena, Colombia; and Caracas, Venezuela.

In July, Texas' top elected officials directed most state agencies, appellate courts and public universities to cut spending by 3% in their base budget requests for the next two years.

The overview: Gov. Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and House Speaker Dustin Burrows said those reductions will help Texas hold a "strong fiscal position" by expanding property tax relief and maintaining public education funding when the legislature returns to Austin next year.

The issue: Dozens of agency leaders have warned that the cuts, totaling hundreds of millions of dollars, are not sustainable. They would cause Texas residents to lose "essential" services and lead to losses in state revenue, leaders said at the capitol and in budget documents.

Government institutions protesting the budget reductions include the comptroller's office, the attorney general, Texas' Cancer Prevention and Research Institute, state criminal justice agencies and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
