The City of Granbury held a City Council meeting on July 7, 2026, which included several procurement and budget-related discussions. The council approved a resolution to apply for up to $21 million in grant funds from the Texas Water Development Board to support water infrastructure improvements, including replacing cast iron pipes and looping water systems. Additionally, the council selected Forvis Masers LLP as the new auditing firm under RFP25-26-25 to provide professional auditing services for fiscal years 2026 through 2028, with an option to renew for two additional years. This contract change aims to improve audit efficiency and timeliness, with a total estimated cost of $370,000 over five years. The council also approved the city's annual employee health insurance renewal with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas. Other agenda items included a comprehensive plan amendment for land use, appointments to various boards, and acceptance of the 2026 Charter Review Commission report. Public comments raised concerns about transparency and communication regarding a potential data center project, but no formal procurement actions related to that were taken during the meeting.
