# Granbury City Council Meeting: October 20, 2026

The October 20, 2026 Granbury City Council meeting included major water-infrastructure financing and vehicle purchasing actions. Council approved Ordinance 26-73, authorizing approximately $49.8 million in certificates of obligation toward a planned $105 million, 5-million-gallon-per-day water treatment plant, with PFAS-removal capacity; the project also has a $57.8 million grant. The financing’s stated average interest rate was 3.47%, with estimated savings of about $15 million versus market rates. Council also approved a separate zero-interest financing issue of approximately $105,000 (Ordinance 26-74). Both ordinances passed; the first vote was 6-0 and the second 5-0. The city manager said debt service was accounted for in the budget. Council separately approved a lease purchase of 13 vehicles through Enterprise Fleet Management and Enterprise Trust for FY 2026-27, not to exceed $232,000; staff estimated proceeds from replaced vehicles would reduce the city’s net cost. That motion passed 6-0. The council also approved a retainer agreement with Denton Nabarro Rodriguez Law Firm for representation in a lawsuit; the three eligible council members voted in favor, with members recused due to conflicts.

The city manager reported that the Regional Transportation Council had approved $92,500 for Granbury, with no local match, as part of a regional investment in electric aircraft charging infrastructure at four North Texas airports. The presentation also covered past and potential economic-development projects, water and sewer capacity, and the city’s stated goal of balancing commercial and residential growth; several prospective projects were described as discussions rather than approved awards. Council appointed Lisa Johnson Grace to the Cultural Arts Commission and appointed five members to a new legislative task force. No additional procurement award was identified in those appointments.
