City Council Meeting | Oct 28, 2026

The City of Greenville, Texas, City Council meeting on October 28, 2026, included multiple infrastructure and purchasing actions. The council unanimously approved additional professional-services design fees for Major’s Road ($77,592), the airport south-end project ($959,684), a railroad crossing amendment ($83,251), the wastewater treatment plant redesign ($384,487), and East/West Loop water transmission-line design ($1,448,473). It also approved resolutions authorizing eminent-domain proceedings for permanent easements needed for the dual-feed-line project; staff said negotiations with property owners would continue and acquisition could still occur by purchase. The council approved the downtown Green Plan and Trails Master Plan, with annual progress reviews and future updates intended to support implementation and funding eligibility. Consent items included an effluent pump purchase from Global Pump Solutions, a CivicPlus agenda-management renewal for $25,552, and an annual Protex Pest Control contract; the transcript provides no amount for the pump or pest-control contract. The council also approved an agreement for JustFOIA public-records tracking software with revised liability wording, but no price was stated.

Residents raised concerns about a proposed airport lease involving L3 Harris, arguing it could conflict with federal airport assurances and impose excessive insurance and indemnification requirements; no lease decision was taken at this meeting, and an airport subcommittee discussion was anticipated. Funeral directors and residents urged the council to reconsider the city’s plan to discontinue police funeral escorts effective November 1, citing safety and potential costs to families; no action on that policy was recorded. Staff also reported that a proposal to complete omitted AMI meter installations would return to council. The Boys & Girls Club presented its annual update, including plans to grow services amid the loss of after-school funding, but no related spending action was identified.
