City of Irving | City Council Regular Meeting May 7, 2026

The City of Irving held its City Council Regular Meeting on May 7, 2026. The meeting included recognition of community achievements, proclamations for municipal clerks and economic development week, and farewell remarks for outgoing Mayor Rick Stopfer. Key procurement-related discussions focused on transportation contracts, including the approval of a contract with VIA to restore bus routes 225 and 255 and implement a circulator system in the Urban Center, funded by DART's general mobility program. Additionally, the council considered zoning and land use changes related to a proposed autonomous vehicle maintenance and service hub by Tesla, requesting postponement to address public safety concerns and coordination with fire and police departments. The council approved postponements for these zoning cases until the July 16 meeting to allow for further review and training commitments. The meeting also confirmed the appointment of a new commissioner to the Firefighters and Police Officers Civil Service Commission. Motions related to contract approvals and zoning postponements passed with strong council support.
