Pharr City Commissioners approved a contract with South Texas College (STC) to provide training to staff during Pharr University 2021. STC will provide training for all City of Pharr staff during Pharr University 2021 on Professionalism in the Workplace and Customer Service.

Pharr City Commissioners authorized the City Manager to negotiate and enter into a contract with Javier Hinojosa Engineering for Professional Engineering Services for the design and project administration of the South Regional Detention Facility and Drainage Improvement Project. This project is part of the city's Master Drainage Plan and includes 23 acres in South Pharr which will be designed architecturally to serve as a much-needed drainage detention facility and architecturally also serve as the City of Pharr's first dog park, providing new amenities for Pharr families. "We are excited for this to be our first dog park and as we continue to plan these drainage projects throughout Pharr, we are working to make them aesthetically pleasing instead of just a hole in the ground, and most importantly, we want to make use of the land and space to create something that is not only beneficial to our city but can also be used as a recreational area for our residents," said Mayor Hernandez.
