Georgetown City Council Meeting | September 14th, 2026

The Georgetown City Council meeting held on September 14, 2026, covered a range of topics including tax levies, public safety, community events, and capital improvement projects. Key procurement-related discussions involved approval of a tax levy ordinance for the fiscal year 2026-2027, with a 6.3 mill rate for city operations, and a contract change order for brick paver work on Main Street, which included a 45-day extension and additional materials. The council also discussed capital projects such as upgrades to Brooking Park playground, Cloverleaf baseball/softball fields, and a new swimming pool, with estimated costs around $6 million each, and the need to coordinate these with upcoming fire station construction. Additionally, the council addressed regulatory matters including potential zoning regulations or bans on data centers, and tightening variance ordinances to reduce ambiguity. Public safety discussions included staffing updates and the use of Flock ALPR cameras, with a motion passed to review the program and hold a public forum due to community concerns.
