City of Temple - City Council Meeting - 02/19/26

The City of Temple City Council held a meeting on February 19, 2026, which included public comments and several agenda items related to city planning and development. Key procurement-related discussions involved the approval of a resolution appointing substitute municipal court judges and consideration of a resolution supporting an age-restricted housing tax credit project by Jes Development Company, Inc., which was tabled to a later date. The council also conducted a public hearing and approved an ordinance authorizing the abandonment and realignment of approximately 4.9 acres of Old Howard Road to facilitate the Northwest Industrial Park project, involving a land trade rather than a cash transaction. Additionally, the council discussed and approved amendments to the unified development code to introduce neighborhood conservation overlay zoning districts aimed at encouraging infill development and providing more housing options, with significant public engagement and some community concerns addressed. Another agenda item regarding a replat of the MandeR community was postponed to an uncertain date. The meeting included no direct contract awards or vendor selections but involved important land use and development policy decisions that could impact future procurement and development activities in the city.
