City Council - 10/13/2026

The October 13, 2026, Coppell City Council meeting included procurement and capital-project updates. During work session, staff explained that the council-chambers seating order had been executed before October 6, contingent on council approval, to secure a place in the manufacturer’s production queue; delivery was expected in late January or early February. The selected seating was retained after staff determined voluntary alternatives were not equivalent, and the general contractor remains responsible for installation. The city manager reported that the council-chambers remodel had been approved; no contract value or vendor name was stated. Fire Station 3 construction also continues, with structural steel and metal framing underway. The consent agenda, items A–N, was approved, but the transcript does not provide item-level purchasing details.

The council approved, without opposition, zoning-code amendments establishing special-use-permit review for data centers and cryptocurrency-mining facilities in light-industrial districts, removing technology equipment facilities as a by-right use, and setting limits on temporary concrete batch plants (one six-month permit per property within an 18-month period). The motion also added prime-power generators to the data-center definition’s generator categories. Separately, council gave direction to proceed with an internal policy for naming non-park city facilities, including changing the wording from “building” to “facility”; the policy was not treated as an ordinance, and staff was to circulate a revised draft. No dollar amounts were stated for the seating or capital projects.
