Universal City looks to approve development agreement for food truck park

Universal City's City Council is looking to approve another development agreement for a food truck park.

What happened: The dais approved a resolution on first reading authorizing the execution of a development agreement with John Steensen & Yu Yuan for a new mobile unit food truck park at 214 Rosewood Drive on March 3. Council member Bernard Rubal was the single dissenting vote.

Since the resolution was only approved on first reading, the development agreement will have to come back to the council for final consideration. The agreement is anticipated to be presented to council for a second and final reading March 17, according to an email from Michael Cassata, Universal City's development services and economic development corporation director.

More details: The city defines a mobile unit food truck park as three or more food trucks located on a parcel of land, according to agenda documents. The food truck park will have space for three food trucks along with 10 parking spaces.

Texas’ primaries aren’t over yet: What to know about runoff elections

Texas held its primary elections on March 3, with Republican and Democratic voters selecting their parties’ nominees for scores of federal, state and local seats. Yet for some candidates, a major hurdle still remains before the November election.

The overview: Dozens of primary races are headed to May runoffs after no candidate picked up more than half of the vote, triggering an overtime round between the two highest-performing candidates.

The details:  Texas’ runoff election is set for May 26, the day after Memorial Day. Early voting runs from May 18-22, per the secretary of state.

State law requires primary candidates to receive more than 50% of the vote to advance to a general election, meaning a candidate must earn a majority of the vote—not just the highest number of votes—to win their primary outright. This rule means crowded races in Texas primaries and special elections frequently result in runoffs.

In those races, the top two vote-getters advance to a runoff.

Keep reading to learn about voting in the runoffs and who's on the ballot.
