# City of Duncanville | 2026-10-20

At its regular City Council meeting on October 20, 2026, the City of Duncanville approved a resolution authorizing a mural permit and selecting a design for the Duncanville Fieldhouse. Beam Team created the design; installation and production were quoted at just over $10,000, with Barnett Signs of Mesquite identified to perform the work. The council approved the item by vote. The transcript does not state the design fee or provide a contract number. Council also appointed Dr. Honor Alvarez as city manager, effective November 2, 2026, and authorized the mayor to sign the employment agreement.

City staff reported that nearly 4,000 advanced water meters had been installed, with completion scheduled for the following November; no project cost or procurement action was stated. The fire department’s report prompted discussion of growing call volumes, the costs of staffing and apparatus, ISO certification needs, and whether a future third station would need to be a full station, but no funding or construction decision was made. The city also noted ongoing public engagement on solid waste and recycling. Other meeting business included recognition of life-saving police and fire response, board appointments, and community announcements.
