Temple Terrace City Council Meeting September 15, 2026

The Temple Terrace City Council meeting on September 15, 2026, included several procurement-related discussions primarily focused on water infrastructure improvements. The council accepted a master plan for the city's water treatment facilities prepared by CHA Consulting, outlining a 20-year framework for renewal, modernization, and regulatory compliance. Subsequently, the council approved a resolution directing the city manager to implement upgrades to the water treatment plants, including a $74 million nano filtration system to address PFAS contamination and water softening. The city plans to issue a request for qualifications (RFQ) to select a design, engineering, and project management firm to oversee the upgrades, with construction bidding to follow separately. Additionally, the council approved first readings of ordinances for the voluntary annexation and comprehensive plan amendment of a 12.29-acre property near US Highway 301 and Harney Road, facilitating future commercial or industrial development. Other agenda items included committee appointments, recognition of local students and employees, and public health updates on dengue fever. No other contract awards or purchasing decisions were reported.
