City Council Worksession & Regular Meeting 11-10-26

The City of Pflugerville City Council held a worksession and regular meeting on November 10, 2026. Procurement and infrastructure actions included unanimous approval to authorize a 48-month electricity supply contract beginning June 2027, at a rate not to exceed 6.15 cents per kilowatt-hour; Priority Power served as the city’s energy consultant, while the supplier was not identified in the transcript. Council also approved, by a 3–2 vote, a $2,439,683 professional engineering services agreement with Freese and Nichols for the 24-inch Central Interceptor project (WW2702), which staff said was advanced from the five-year CIP because sections of the existing line and creek crossing are deteriorating. A $225,740.15 purchase of Arista CloudVision network-management software from Friat Data Solutions, Inc., through a Texas DIR contract, was approved 4–1. Council also approved renewal of the Trapwire investigative-information system, with a review in 90 days, by a 4–1 vote; no renewal amount was stated.

Council approved the parks and recreation membership-fee framework on first reading by a 4–1 vote, setting cost-recovery goals and allowing staff to adjust some facility fees within the framework; staff described a goal of reaching 100% cost recovery by year five and discussed proposed Monarch membership rates and financial reporting. Staff was directed to develop micro-trenching standards, including stronger warranty protections and permit/inspection limits, but no contract award was made on that item. Separately, the council unanimously denied a proposed amendment to the Hill Country Bible Church PUD. The meeting also included approval of a fiscal-year 2026 budget amendment; a council member noted cumulative budget amendments exceeding $80 million over the prior year.
