City Council Special Called Meeting - August 25, 2026

The City Council of Saginaw, Texas, held a special called meeting on August 25, 2026, which included several procurement-related discussions. The council approved nominations for two local companies, United Forestry Products (UFP) and Trinity Industries, to be part of the Texas Enterprise Zone Project, a state-funded economic development program that provides sales tax refunds to incentivize job retention and capital investment. UFP committed to investing over $5 million and retaining approximately 210 employees, with benefits totaling over $500,000 over five years. Additionally, the council addressed the need to transition from using Tarrant County's fuel services to a commercial fuel card program due to the county's planned facility renovations and associated costs. After reviewing options, the council approved moving forward with Fuelman for fuel card services, citing its extensive network and cost-effectiveness, pending city attorney review. Motions related to these procurement actions were passed unanimously during the meeting.
