# City Council 10-13-26

The City of Pflugerville City Council meeting on October 13, 2026, included several procurement and capital-project actions. Council approved a $352,582 Friesen Nichols supplement for additional construction-phase engineering on the secondary Colorado River raw-waterline project; water delivery through the 42-inch line was anticipated in November, with some 30-inch-line work expected to continue into March 2027. It also approved a $596,200 Tetra Tech professional-services agreement for the Schultz Lane safety improvement project, with construction completion estimated by September 2028, and an interlocal agreement allowing Williamson County to proceed with the Redbud Lane project. Council approved a Spectrum agreement to use the city’s planned utility duct bank and authorized participation in the US Fixed Income Trust as an additional investment option at no cost to the city. The selection of the Beely property near Lake Pflugerville as a potential site for a future animal shelter passed 5–2, despite concerns about parkland and alternative uses.

Council discussed a $45,000 Simple City Design contract for an audit of development review and permitting. Members sought a broader scope, including stakeholder input, building-inspection and third-party review impacts, and a presentation of findings to council; code compliance was also discussed, but its inclusion was not clearly resolved in the transcript. Staff was to clarify the revised scope, cost, and timeline. Council also unanimously authorized negotiations toward a joint public safety answering point with Travis County ESD No. 2 and Pflugerville ISD. Following executive session, council unanimously approved actions related to economic-development projects Anchor and Expand, though the transcript provides no terms or dollar amounts. Public commenters raised concerns about proposed recreation-center fees, small-business treatment in city property decisions, and the proposed animal-shelter location.
