Fort Worth residents, mark your calendars for a busy Tuesday at City Hall. The City Council will convene at 6 p.m. next Tuesday in the council chamber, located at 100 Fort Worth Trail. Before that, officials will gather for a particularly strategic Session, a Special Called City Council Workshop for the FY2026 Bond is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. in the Work Session room. Details on both meetings are available at Fort Worth's official website.
The evening's agenda will recognize achievements and notable dates, including Bob Semple Day, the prowess of the Texas Forge Taekwondo, and awareness for Anorexia Nervosa. On the docket are also critical fiscal propositions, from the potential return of a $100,000 donation to the Public Library Foundation to support building the African American Museum and Cultural Center. Additional funds allocation is up for discussion, such as budget adjustments related to EMS transition costs and an influx of $1.6 million in FEMA assistance to benefit firefighter operations and safety. A traffic safety enforcement grant through TxDOT, mental health and victim assistance for first responders, and an expansion project for Spinks Airport.
The council’s resolutions require attention, too. The latest involves acknowledging Mayor Parker's 2026 board appointments, nominating Dr. Corey Mayfield to the Medical Control Advisory Board, reappointing sports authority figures, and a push to save the historic Fort Worth Power & Light plant with a significant landmark status. Community members interested in these proceedings can view the complete agenda through the city's website.
