Conroe Council Agenda Includes Possible City Hall Shake-Up, Cat Ordinance

On March 12, the Conroe City Council will meet to discuss possible leadership changes at City Hall and vote on whether to allow a trap-neuter-release program for feral cats in the city. The meeting will take place at 6 p.m. at Conroe City Hall, 300 W. Davis St. The agenda states that council members will discuss accepting the resignations of City Attorney Michael Garner and Norman McGuire, the assistant city administrator and director of public works. Both people would leave on March 27.

Council members could potentially take action on the executive employment contracts of a few top city officials in a second agenda item relating to the executive session. The agenda says the council might consider canceling the contracts of Gary Scott, the city administrator; Nancy Mikeska, the deputy city administrator and community development director; McGuire; and Andre Houser, the director of human resources. It might also be possible to think about contractual payments.

The city's salary records show that Scott made $261,000 in 2023. That year, Mikeska and McGuire each made $209,997.

According to recent reports, Garner was named city attorney in January 2025 after serving as interim city attorney from May 2023.

The council will also consider a suggestion for handling animal management. One item on the agenda is to discuss changing the law so that Conroe can establish a trap-neuter-release (TNR) program for feral cats.

The matter goes back to the council after members put the plan on hold in late February to give it more time to be looked at. During that meeting, council members asked about how a managed colony system would work within municipal lines, as well as enforcement and public safety.

Before bringing the idea back to the council for more discussion, City Administrator Scott was supposed to look into its legal, operational, and policy effects.

Council members will also talk about the future of the Kiwanis Christmas Parade, in addition to those things. The council will also consider using donated funds to purchase an adoption trailer for the Conroe Animal Shelter.

Anyone can attend the meeting on March 12 at 6 p.m. at Conroe City Hall.
