The City Council of Carrollton, Texas, held a combined worksession and regular meeting on July 21, 2026, starting at 5:45 PM. The meeting began with a worksession covering a major development proposal (Alpine X on the former NTTA site), a scholarship discussion, and council reports. The regular meeting opened with a solemn tribute to fallen soldier Private First Class Isabella Gonzalez, followed by a proclamation for Parks and Recreation Month. The council unanimously approved the consent agenda (items 9–19) and held public hearings on a special use permit for permanent makeup (approved 6–1) and the CDBG Action Plan (unanimously approved). The public forum featured multiple residents expressing concerns about the Flock license plate reader program. Item 21 was withdrawn by the applicant.
All right, welcome, welcome to our uh city council meeting um work session uh for Tuesday, July 21. We appreciate all our guests here tonight. Um council, as we always do, uh we'll start rolling into our um approval of our consent agenda items. Um and uh then we have a a couple work session items. Um I'll follow up with some uh details with respect to um private Isabella after that. Okay. So with uh our first order business is items eight and nine. Um I apologize I've changed the numbering last minute. And I do have a comment on item number ten. There is a minor spelling error that was caught. So uh as the motion will be as stipulated as on these discussions. Show the appointments of the council members, the sheet that goes with it somewhere in the minute. Sure, can we uh just amend that? I haven't ever added them the before, which is why they weren't added this time, but I'm happy to add them now. We'll just amend the uh the uh document that goes with it as a as an attachment to the minutes. Um I will note uh I should have pointed this out to start. Um council member uh Fleming is uh out. He has a personal issue that's come up, so we cannot be all right. Moving on to item number eleven. Consider authorizing the city manager to execute order number one with Decker technologies for RFP 23-043. Short-term rental software project and an amount not to exceed uh one thousand one hundred and eighty-seven dollars and fifty cents, increasing the total contract amount to seventy-two thousand four hundred and thirty-seven dollars and fifty cents. Any discussion on the motion. Um in our neighborhoods. Okay. Number twelve. Number twelve is uh consider authorizing the city manager to enter into an agreement with CJA Enterprises LLP and E-Lane Freight Services LLC pursuant to bid number two six-02 nine for sand and gravel supplies. Not to exceed five hundred and sixteen thousand. Um that uh supports the entire the efforts throughout the year. But anyway, questions. Plan record keeping services for a total ten year uh contract. Uh this is a big deal, right? I want to make sure this is clear. This is this impacts our employees, all of our employees, right? It's their retirement, it's their administration of their retirement plans. So um, I would I'll I'll ask maybe uh Crystal Davis, our assistant city manager over this to maybe provide a few comments and then we'll take questions. Sure. We've um offered a uh retirement opportunity to our employees since the early eighties, and um we take this record keeping service out to bid every 10 years when we do so. We involve employees across the organization to evaluate in conjunction um with our fiduciary committee and led by our fiduciary consultant with Morgan Stanley. Um we were able to put out the RFP uh a number of months ago. We got five responses. We used the employee committee to evaluate those responses, narrowed it down to three record keepers. They interviewed the three record keepers, and it was a unanimous decision for the city to move away from ICMA RC, which is now mission square, uh, and move to TIAA. And that was a unanimous decision by the committee, and that was the employee committee that made that recommendation. So retirement services kind of in the in the commercial world, it's like a 401k plan 457 here locally for our government employees, kind of manages all that and provides the employee services for that.
