The City of Plano City Council held a meeting on September 14, 2026, focusing heavily on financial and budgetary matters. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of the operating budget totaling $841.6 million and the community investment program (CIP) budget of approximately $289.8 million for the fiscal year 2026-2027. The council also adopted the property tax rate at 43.76 cents per $100 of taxable value, reflecting a 1.02% increase, and ratified the property tax revenue increase of $7.7 million over the previous year. Public comments addressed concerns about economic development funding allocations, particularly a $15 million allocation for the Willow Bend area, and the prioritization of projects within the CIP, including a $155 million police headquarters and limited investments in the historically underserved Douglas neighborhood. Additionally, the council adopted a legislative program for 2027 to guide advocacy efforts in the Texas legislature, focusing on local control, infrastructure financing, and property tax reform. The meeting also included discussions on surveillance technology contracts and community concerns about AI data centers, but no new procurement actions were taken on these topics during the session.
