02/17/26 - Committee and Special City Council Meetings

The City of Stephenville held committee and special city council meetings on February 17, 2026, focusing on several procurement and capital improvement projects. The council approved amending the airport advisory board membership requirements and appointed Brandon Johnson to the board. They discussed applying for a $1 million grant for downtown reconstruction and drainage improvements, with a recommended 5% city match if awarded. The council also approved awarding a $147,580 contract to Texas Traffic LLC for installing crosswalk beacons on Harvin Drive to improve pedestrian safety. Additionally, they approved a $74,723 budget adjustment for Wi-Fi equipment replacement. A significant agenda item was the approval of a contract to initiate preliminary design and site work for a new administrative building via a public-private partnership, with an estimated construction cost of $3.7 million. This contract allows the city to evaluate the project before committing to full construction, with reimbursement terms if the project does not proceed. These actions reflect the city's ongoing efforts to improve infrastructure and public facilities through strategic procurement and grant funding.
