Granbury City Council Meeting: August 4, 2026

The City of Granbury held a council meeting on August 4, 2026, which included several procurement and budget-related discussions. The council approved the award of bid number 25-26-15 to A&D Paving LLC for the Lambert Branch Park Improvement Project at a contract amount of $1,868,350, with a project contingency of $28,000 authorized. The project includes trail system expansion and park enhancements funded partially by a Texas grant. The council also discussed amendments to zoning ordinances concerning data centers and power generation plants, focusing on setback requirements and the need for specific use permits, with public input leading to a postponement of the decision to September 15, 2026, for further review. Additionally, the council approved a sole source agreement with Leo Site for a five-year software subscription for portable radio GPS tracking at a total cost of $500,000, with the city's share approximately $26,000 annually. Other procurement actions included authorizing the city manager to finalize scope and costs for a building and infrastructure project involving sports field lighting upgrades, with financing options discussed to minimize tax impact. The council also authorized applying for a $200,000 electric aircraft charging infrastructure grant for the Granbury Regional Airport. Several ordinances were adopted to establish no-parking zones and designated trolley parking to improve traffic and safety. A proposed tax rate not to exceed 48.5 cents per $100 valuation was set for future consideration. The meeting concluded with citizen comments and an executive session on legal, real estate, personnel, security, and economic development matters.
