Frost is set to bring in several new businesses to the area including a gas station that will also have four small storefronts and a local, Ronny Cooper, who will be opening a restaurant, “Mainstreet Grill” with a tentative opening date of February where one of the old Patterson’s Pharmacies used to be.
After viewing several bids, Frost City Council opted to accept A-Z IT for their information technology needs as well as Freeman-Millican for the Hazard Mitigation Assistance Plans.
The Frost City handbook is currently being rewritten and updated to work in tandem with the reworked Police Policy Guide.
The tax rate for 2025 is scheduled to be increased from 7.75% to 8.25% in the spring with Ordinance 328.
The Frost City Hall is looking into making their lobby more secure including features like bulletproof glass, 36inch doorways and a better front door to make the office ADA approved and to better protect the officials who work in City Hall. This issue was tabled pending more information from the person who will be graciously paying for the improvements.
There are concerned citizens who raised questions about the city’s water, with one who stated the water flowing in her pipes at home smelled like a combination of gasoline and WD-40. The council is looking further into this troubling issue.
