Amarillo City Council Meeting 4/28/26

The Amarillo City Council held a meeting on April 28, 2026, which included several procurement and capital improvement discussions. Key highlights included updates on multiple city infrastructure projects such as roof replacements at libraries, sewer line repairs, parking lot improvements, and Civic Center HVAC and lighting upgrades, many of which were reported as on time and under budget. The council also discussed the Tradewind sewer extension project, with staff recommending proceeding with the design phase at an estimated cost of $250,000, subject to future funding approval. This project, originally initiated in 2016, does not fully meet current development policy criteria but is considered important for future growth. Additionally, the council approved a resolution to seek state funds for the Working Ranch Cowboys Association World Championship Ranch Rodeo event, involving local matching funds. A public hearing was held and approved for the vacation of a public alley for utility relocation by Xcel Energy. The meeting concluded with motions passed on these items and no opposition recorded.
