City Council Meeting - November 3, 2026

The City of Saginaw City Council meeting on November 3, 2026, approved consent-agenda items that included renewal of the Tarrant County Emergency Services District No. 1 EMS service agreement and a Chapter 380 economic development agreement with AM and JK Development. Council also approved the qualifications process for architectural design services for a new animal shelter, authorizing staff to negotiate a contract with Quorum Architects of Fort Worth. Quorum was ranked first after five firms responded to the RFQ and three were interviewed; council did not approve a final contract amount or award a construction contract. The discussion cited Quorum’s value-engineering proposals and local availability as strengths.

The council discussed the city’s existing Flock camera service, which covers 20 cameras and costs $67,500 annually, paid through the Crime Control and Prevention District; no change to the service was voted on. Kimley-Horn presented a draft Comprehensive Safety Action Plan, including potential roadway and pedestrian improvements and future grant opportunities. The plan was not adopted; council requested additional review and feedback before a later vote. A convenience-store fuel-sales SUP was tabled pending required landscaping information and a complete list of proposed upgrades. Council approved amendments adding definitions and permitted-use entries for three business types, while tabling the remaining zoning-table amendments for staff revision.
