Don (Public Works staff) explained that staff observed concrete cracking and spalling on a bent (the horizontal element that transfers load to piers) under the overpass. A structural specialist's inspection and drone imaging showed beam movement and a noticeable shift in bearing contact. Staff reported the beam-bearing surface at one end had shifted by about 7 inches compared to the expected contact area; the consultant described the bent and pier as showing rotation and relative movement.

Staff said TxDOT performs annual inspections and had noted spalling on the most recent report but the condition was not on TxDOT's highest-priority list. Because on-site staff detected the progressing cracking and measured movement, the city closed the bridge to live loads as a safety precaution and recommended additional engineering analysis and monitoring.

Public Works asked council to approve a phased evaluation: instrument the structure for movement monitoring, undertake a detailed engineering study to refine repair costs and design, and provide comparative estimates for a temporary repair versus full replacement. Staff provided a preliminary planning-level number for advanced evaluation — about $150,000 for a six-month monitoring and analysis phase — but said the contractor's earlier, higher-level figures must be refined. Railroad operations had been notified; public staff said they had not been told of operational changes by the railroad.

Staff noted the bridge was built in the early 1980s and said some of the visible concrete has recently come off; staff found loose pieces during the site inspection. The immediate closure will remain until consultants confirm repairs or a plan to restore the structure to safe use.

Ending

Staff said the evaluation contract was on the consent agenda for the evening meeting to allow monitoring and analysis to begin promptly. The assessment will allow staff to return with options and cost estimates for either a temporary repair to extend life or a complete rebuild; staff also said it would also review other city bridges for comparable concerns.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Temple - City Council Workshop Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","City public-works staff closed the 20th Street (Fourth Street) overpass after inspectors found cracking and movement at a bent beneath the bridge and asked council to approve monitoring and a six-month engineering evaluation estimated initially at about $150,000.","taxTitle","Temple, Bell County, Texas","taxId",2770,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6552126,"Temple planners brief council on several I‑35-overlay development requests, PNZ recommendations and public concerns",2286,1156000,3442000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5131956-d5f05557c72efaaa4c75f73412ede712&start=1156&end=3442","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5131956-d5f05557c72efaaa4c75f73412ede712/thumbnail_1156000.jpg","/articles/6552126/Temple/Bell-County/Texas/Temple-planners-brief-council-on-several-I35-overlay-development-requests-PNZ-recommendations-and-public-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6552126-43788d054894c494076f4a5a378baa16/orig.mp4?Expires=1770618615&Signature=nxpQxOGI~O~8nb8WjGicA8hjKN8n3JDYP1lqKhNvbyR4QP3wjiADXqqozQmPtYlTWzlKeEpBWleWVVPR-nSAiMRkaIibrM3UgeU2siCQy5cNRhGMMAQaxQPguWyQOJhbBfDO47X~zKSBeybcy0nKBxjOoZL8-ahpbkV194JOb7LOnROYuo65Qswmuo5hsZzHyIB7OoPX2Z7AptC4~xAdWXakQbz~oMTWhqCed4GqZhWZL7oZ5XfGo8hSvuuprbzlIb3iS4xOwFHNiFLOev68VmQty-5HJu9KtWnFNi5sZP9BFHvVFTUUqSnpovfTNtSVfyaAftfVyF2eFdnYKcLncA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City planning staff briefed the council on multiple land-use and zoning items concentrated along the I‑35 overlay and other parts of the city, including requests to table one item, PNZ recommendations, and public opposition along several parcels.

Honor Lane community center (1252 Honor Lane)

Brian Bridal, a city planner, said the rezoning request for a property formerly used as a small community center was again requested to be tabled for two weeks to allow the applicant time to pursue a bona fide purchase offer. Bridal said neighbors had been overwhelmingly opposed and staff recommended disapproval to align with the comprehensive plan; Planning & Zoning recommended disapproval by a 7–0 vote with one abstention. Council agreed to postpone until the July 17 hearing to allow further discussion with the applicant.

United Rentals expansion (5214 and 5300 S. General Bruce Drive)

Bridal said United Rentals seeks to expand into adjacent parcels and to reconfigure the site; the use had been grandfathered from before overlay adoption and expansion requires a planned development. Staff recommended denial due to nonconformance with the I‑35 overlay. Planning & Zoning recommended approval with conditions; the conditions shown to council include: ornamental 6-foot tubular black fencing along frontage, preservation of feasible existing trees (applicant indicated preservation of some but not the 36-inch live oak), meeting overlay landscape requirements for the expanded area (15% on new property; industrial subdistricts have lower percentages), use of compacted asphalt millings for equipment inventory areas rather than paving, and a condition to require site improvements to create a consistent campus appearance (examples: repainting buildings and adding a structural canopy over the front office). The applicant told staff the proposal anticipates future TxDOT corridor work and is willing to lease and develop with the knowledge that parts of the property could be acquired in TxDOT right-of-way projects; Bridal said TxDOT's design work could be many years away (staff cited an earliest 2030 timeline from state communications).

Sentex 35 Logistics (3911 N. General Bruce Drive)

Bridal said the Sentex proposal to convert a parcel to a laydown yard (contractor storage) is allowed under certain conditional-use rules in nearby districts, but staff was not recommending approval. Staff expressed concern that the frontage use as an outdoor storage/laydown yard would be visible from I‑35 and that other locations could better serve primary warehouse/office uses. Bridal said the proposal had drawn opposition and that Buc-ee's attorneys had also objected.

Keating & Sons Tire (6618 N. General Bruce Drive)

The Keating proposal for a bricks-and-mortar heavy-vehicle repair facility (18-wheelers) was described as a conditional-use permit with a site plan; Bridal said the plan shows required landscaping and architectural treatments expected to meet the overlay, and that the item is moving forward to the presentation and vote stage.

Other developments along West Adams and FM 2305

Bridal also summarized other nearby master-planned development phases (Arbor Square, Commonwealth) and a proposed mixed office/neighborhood retail and townhome perimeter that had produced neighborhood opposition and questions about two-story building impacts and tree removal.

Process notes and next steps

Staff asked whether to proceed or to postpone public hearings for several items; council and staff agreed to table and revisit some requests and to move other items forward to the July 17 meeting for presentations and votes. Bridal said staff will provide more precise, enforceable language for conditions (for example, specifying the required building repainting and canopy improvements) if council chooses to approve any expansions.

Ending

Council directed staff to continue negotiations with applicants, prepare more explicit condition language where needed and return items for public hearing and decision at upcoming meetings. Staff reiterated that some requests were being tabled to allow additional outreach and possible sale negotiations.","City planners briefed council on several land-use requests concentrated along the I-35 overlay, including a planned expansion for United Rentals that PNZ recommended with conditions while staff recommended denial, a proposed Sentex laydown yard that staff opposed, and a conditional-use plan for Keating & Sons Tire that will proceed to a vote.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6552127,"Temple proposes quarterly on-demand bulky/brush pickups, contractor sweep and fleet repairs to clear backlog",9290,3760000,13050000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5131956-d5f05557c72efaaa4c75f73412ede712&start=3760&end=13050","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5131956-d5f05557c72efaaa4c75f73412ede712/thumbnail_3760000.jpg","/articles/6552127/Temple/Bell-County/Texas/Temple-proposes-quarterly-on-demand-bulkybrush-pickups-contractor-sweep-and-fleet-repairs-to-clear-backlog","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6552127-2b6cecba680343cf26a704363840d42b/orig.mp4?Expires=1770618615&Signature=KGihEYgTI3lsVpKzwpvQerWS5D2wUUDJ24HBBBSb4N9KuQcnTtD2wCaFQMgDW6nCtd9BgUOob1rTeTxvI2N3bxsFgABMtU38q-53TWdDfTB9c0TEqLXqtWyDdx9GWjmDt2Z-OnIOEq6KjDumYZotSoJVeYospaIEePk9O5OLVz~Vq~sS6GTuwKAIAZphZ6htk8PaJmfTQhYO7x4rInH2C0bkRKJb7pRhb7oP0qKFueqIt5MHyQQkyeCH6H6HhLr5-pqxnwiDrS92dWqWFpppe6UuyVzGj~rLzlgDefx1LG8VNe1mmeAVbeAPGWiwQg0wiJnwzdF9F3NvYI5UH6uVng__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff presented proposed amendments to Chapter 15 of the Temple City Code and an operational plan to reduce long-standing brush-and-bulky collection backlogs and the number of nonconforming curbside piles.

Justin Brantley, Solid Waste Director, and Rafael Martinez, Assistant Public Works Director, told the council staff will: (1) move from static geographic collection zones to an on-demand scheduling system; (2) provide one free scheduled brush collection per household per quarter (up to 6 cubic yards) and the same for bulky items; (3) charge $65 for piles between 6 and 12 cubic yards; and (4) require roll-off containers for any pickup over 12 cubic yards.

Staff said residents will still be able to drive to the city's solid-waste complex at 2611 E. Avenue H for free disposal, and the city will continue the existing monthly free pickup-load at the landfill tied to water-bill verification. The presentation added two additional annual free drop-off events at the complex (spring and fall) for larger cleanups.

Brantley said the city will not collect mixed or nonconforming piles (for example: construction/remodeling debris mixed with household trash, loose glass, or other hazards) as routine service. Customer Care will intake pickup requests, schedule a pickup window based on available fleet capacity and confirm collection with photo evidence after pickup. Brantley said the initial on-demand service start date is planned for Aug. 4 (customer scheduling to begin earlier); the city will hire a contractor to perform an initial citywide sweep beginning July 9 to reduce existing backlog.

Staff expects to require horizontal and vertical clearances at the curb to allow mechanized grapple collection without manual handling (rules would prohibit small, loose items intended for a normal trash container). The rules also preserve the current option for customers to pay for an extra container rather than use the bulky collection service repeatedly.

Fleet and operations briefing

Public Works and Fleet staff outlined a plan to return 8\u001010 grapple trucks to frontline service and to keep two as spares. Fleet managers reported parts lead times are a practical constraint (an example cited: a 70-day lead time for one power-take-off item). To address the immediate backlog and avoid continued overtime calls, staff asked council to approve a contract with a debris contractor (contractor name cited in the workshop as Saris) to perform a west-to-east citywide sweep; concurrently fleet and solid waste mechanics will accelerate repairs and operator training.

Expected outcomes and enforcement

Staff said expected outcomes include improved communications with residents, faster scheduled pickups for compliant piles, reduced wear on collection equipment, fewer unsightly long-duration curb piles and higher recycling capture. Code enforcement was flagged as necessary to deter repeated noncompliance; staff said customer-care will first attempt education and referrals to private vendors before escalating to enforcement.

Key ordinance and operational thresholds presented

- Brush: one scheduled free pickup per household, per calendar quarter, up to 6 cubic yards; 6\u001012 cubic yards charged $65; over 12 cubic yards requires a roll-off.
- Bulk: same quarterly structure and fee thresholds as brush.
- Two free city-sponsored drop-off events per year (spring/fall).
- Solid Waste Complex drop-off remains free to residents at 2611 E. Avenue H.
- Customer Care will schedule and limit weekly pickup slots to match available fleet capacity; initial service start date for on-demand collections: Aug. 4; contractor sweep begins July 9.

Council members asked about timing windows for placing piles at the curb and suggested education and neighbor-coordination strategies. Staff said the program will be managed conservatively at launch and that policy tweaks (for example specifying how long items may be left at the curb before an appointment) could follow after initial operation.

Ending

Council was briefed on the ordinance changes, the operational plan and a contractor sweep; staff asked council to approve the contract on the evening agenda so the sweep and the outreach campaign can begin ahead of the Aug. 4 on-demand start date.","City staff proposed amending Chapter 15 to move brush and bulky collection from pre-set twice-monthly zones to an on-demand, one-per-quarter pickup (first 6 cubic yards free; 6–12 cubic yards $65; >12 cubic yards require a roll-off), to contract a citywide sweep and to repair and prepare grapple trucks to restore regular service.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6552128,"Temple leaders, Feed My Sheep outline scaled plan for Little Flock transitional housing campus",4440,2710000,7150000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5131956-d5f05557c72efaaa4c75f73412ede712&start=2710&end=7150","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5131956-d5f05557c72efaaa4c75f73412ede712/thumbnail_2710000.jpg","/articles/6552128/Temple/Bell-County/Texas/Temple-leaders-Feed-My-Sheep-outline-scaled-plan-for-Little-Flock-transitional-housing-campus","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6552128-58c0a674147feefb7f13a84e202f0215/orig.mp4?Expires=1770618615&Signature=CrsQvH4~-3HXE6eRo8ITRgWlgjnqW9sfM50ktNtDMt6OGgzcOf48-RYgtF7mBgyqDb~A2qv-KKCfCa515ydF9IBBUb~cNCUjOzgpSzaWwQAxlbxbOE5CEtLKNDCMjheReX1nZ9SsQl0~0dy6RRB9uOH9E1T1a0gzJKZ7vwxcP2PW-v7cPV~fFZTMlch4IJ3e8aKH9~9sb0Lo6s25zY-eLZykguLy5TCbcikWnH6d2KRlWQIPo2i5EOeCOLCKjPPXBz9czMcWslRVr-D4rjn~1eHIiZYHnx-o3D4ieT9sp1UNSvab~W0gO6~XRnEisVNJab9wITntg0eCweI23YvVfw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Nancy Glover, a city staff member working on homelessness programs, and Jeff Stegall of Feed My Sheep presented the city's updated Operation RISE plan and a smaller, lower-cost proposal to build a transitional campus on the city-owned Little Flock property.

Glover told the council that Operation RISE began in April 2022 and that a consultant had recommended a countywide set of solutions. She said the updated plan separates Killeen's approach from Temple's and reflected a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that changed how municipalities may engage with encampments. Glover said the ruling removed a prior requirement that the city have a bed for every person in an encampment plus one, but the city will continue a compassionate, case-management-focused approach.

The scaled design presented by Stegall calls for a smaller footprint than an earlier draft: about 40 tiny homes, 35 transitional pallet homes the nonprofit already owns, two restroom/kitchen buildings, one community building that can shelter about 50 people in emergencies, retention of existing house and barn for offices and storage, and an on-site pet shelter. Stegall said the reduced-scope Phase 1 cost estimate is about $6.1 million, down from an earlier Phase 1 estimate of roughly $17 million and a full-buildout estimate previously shown around $29 million.

Glover and Stegall outlined a proposed funding plan: the city could use a Section 108 loan (an advance of future Community Development Block Grant allocations) to pay for site improvements and debt service estimated in the presentation at roughly $240,000 per year over 20 years; the team would apply to the Federal Home Loan Bank for a competitive grant (presenters said up to $2 million for initial work); and Feed My Sheep would lead private fundraising and in-kind donations to cover tiny homes and remaining gaps. Stegall emphasized community involvement in fundraising and operation, saying the project should be \"led by our faith-based community with the city along for support.\" (Attribution: Jeff Stegall, Feed My Sheep; Nancy Glover, city staff.)

Presenters described operations the campus would provide: individualized care-management plans, connections to residential treatment partners for substance-use disorder where needed, mental-health services, veteran services, job supports and transportation links to local microtransit (HOP). Project proponents also noted existing nonprofit services in Temple — Salvation Army, Family Promise, a Sunrise Center for recovery counseling, a farm project for women leaving domestic violence, and Feed My Sheep's drop-in services — as foundations for on-site and off-site supports.

Glover said staff will bring a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Feed My Sheep to the July 17 council meeting to secure site control and authorize next steps: applying for the Section 108 loan, developing operating procedures and safety protocols, and executing site-control agreements. She said the MOU would not itself be the final partnership agreement but would allow the city and Feed My Sheep to begin permitting, engage consultants for on-site and off-site improvements, and pursue identified funding streams.

Council members asked about bed capacity at the Salvation Army and the availability of overflow beds; Glover said the Salvation Army had offered a contract for program beds and overflow in the past but did not currently have an open overflow cot program and that a separate interim shelter solution is limited in capacity. Councilmembers and presenters also noted the need to measure public costs the city currently incurs for calls, code enforcement, and criminal trespass related to encampments when making the financial case for the campus.

Stegall said the team hopes to have the MOU ready for council consideration on July 17 and that community fundraising and partnerships would be essential to close funding gaps. He described several examples of people who had moved into housing and employment as a result of the coordinated services as evidence the model can work.

If the council approves the MOU, staff said they would use the MOU to apply for the Section 108 loan and Federal Home Loan Bank grant, obtain site control, and return with a more detailed financing and construction schedule.

Ending

The presentation concluded with an ask for the council to consider the MOU on July 17. Presenters framed the plan as a community-led effort relying on nonprofits and faith partners to operate supportive housing, with the city providing site control, permitting and partial financing tools. Councilmembers indicated follow-up questions and financial-policy discussions will continue as staff prepares the formal MOU for the next meeting.","City staff and Feed My Sheep presented a downsized plan for a transitional housing campus on the Little Flock property and asked council to approve a memorandum of understanding to begin permitting and financing steps, including a Section 108 loan and Federal Home Loan Bank grant applications.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6552122,"Temple council told contract with Entera would start aquifer storage and recovery permitting; city projects thousands of acre-feet of added capacity",262,3814000,4076000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5131956-d5f05557c72efaaa4c75f73412ede712&start=3814&end=4076","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5131956-d5f05557c72efaaa4c75f73412ede712/thumbnail_3814000.jpg","/articles/6552122/Temple/Bell-County/Texas/Temple-council-told-contract-with-Entera-would-start-aquifer-storage-and-recovery-permitting-city-projects-thousands-of-acre-feet-of-added-capacity","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6552122-490eb5092f1cff92636e56d7bff2b429/orig.mp4?Expires=1770618615&Signature=GKmwDZ1XYyqjVXBNTbz2Ua~pvoGKBN30MeV98BDMtVfJnfh8Aa94C3zU5h5EpvbJnV4IGDziQtLQho4oLr~pMJFbqN0Wn-u9tw5j5IP8yA0jpFxU2Ovp85~HGILlMmUnFzQ1veT8UwjVMlLbRxlghaIZpdmGU06WHX2z7487gAuLKTxX2AqOZba-73EbTYIORyieV6IhvVVvWYkb9qaIbXPp3kWR8ut0Fu1UztUKTPbECNILybBPtUzUEkfFwCkrv2LGt9ifALDOdwZdqQt-eBpRypYwfB5hV15C2L~SaXxCPTeGtW3daESTGol2LdkxuYGpMDuCOEsSc7vyjiIJvA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff described a proposed professional services agreement with Entera to initiate permitting and design work for an aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) project beneath the Synergy Park area.

The mayor and city staff said recent legislative changes cleared the way for a permanent ASR application and that Entera would be engaged to begin the state and federal permitting and design process under a professional-services agreement. Presenters said the ASR system would allow the city to inject treated water into a deep aquifer during times when water is available and later recover the water, enabling evaporation-free storage and drought resiliency.

Presenters said the ASR project could yield approximately 12,000 acre-feet of additional water rights for the city; in the presentation staff described that quantity both as \"about 60% of what we use on an annual basis right now\" and as \"a 30% addition to our overall water rights,\" language used in the workshop remarks to describe different perspectives on the magnitude of added capacity. Staff said the new approach builds on recent legislative work the city supported and that permitting and well-field development costs would be far lower than purchasing equivalent surface storage.

The mayor framed the Entera contract and subsequent ASR permitting as part of a long legacy of the city investing in water resources and said the ASR could be a major step toward added long-term water capacity. Staff said the professional-services agreement would begin design and permitting tasks and that subsequent phases would include well-field development and injection/pumping infrastructure; staff noted pipeline and well costs remain significant and would be considered in later phases.
