Fort Worth City Council held a worksession covering nine briefings on topics including the proposed 2026 Bond Program, Stellar Energy Americas economic development, Panther Island development regulations, solid waste strategy, and Neighborhood Police Officer scheduling.
The January 13 Fort Worth City Council meeting acted on 103 substantive items totaling $428.4M, headlined by a $347.7M WIFIA-backed Water and Sewer Revenue Bond for the Mary's Creek Water Reclamation Facility.
Journalist: Three items warrant follow-up: the Peregrine Technologies Real-Time Crime Center contract was withdrawn for at least the second consecutive meeting with no explanation or alternative plan on record; the council split on identical Section 11.1825 property tax exemption requests — approving one while denying the other — without a stated basis for the divergent outcome; and a governance change requiring a majority vote to reduce public testimony time drew a dissent (later rescinded) from Mayor Pro tem Flores.
Developer: The council denied a 29.94-acre light industrial rezoning on Wilbarger Street 11-0 and continued a 42-acre light industrial case at Anglin Drive to February 10, 2026, while approving a PD at 4601 Boat Club Road with the applicant's retail smoke shop use excluded by council amendment.
Contractor: The council approved 20 contract and procurement items, with new awards to R&A Legacy Construction (two concrete restoration contracts totaling $5.06M), McCarthy Building Companies ($4.9M Bomber Spur Trail Phase I), and Peachtree Construction ($2.9M asphalt resurfacing), plus three Circle C Construction modifications totaling over $3.8M in change orders and appropriations.
Resident: Residents in seven council districts face imminent street and trail construction: the Bomber Spur Trail breaks ground in CD 3 ($4.9M), concrete restoration begins in CDs 2, 5, 6, 8, and 9, and asphalt resurfacing covers CDs 3, 7, and 9.
Lobbyist: The District 10 special election on May 2, 2026, opens an immediate window to shape the council's composition before a new member is seated, and the $347.7M WIFIA bond authorization for the Mary's Creek Water Reclamation Facility signals a multi-year infrastructure procurement cycle.
The agenda for this Fort Worth City Council worksession was centered on a discussion of the 2026 Bond Program.
The January 6, 2026 Fort Worth City Council Public Comment session was a procedural meeting covering approval of minutes from four December 2025 council activities and a public comment period that drew 45 speakers, all registered in support.
Fort Worth City Council held a one-hour worksession on January 6, 2026, receiving 14 informal reports previewing items spanning fiscal performance, public safety, land use, and historic preservation ahead of the January 13 council meeting.
