Temple City Council approves wastewater line upgrade and community market change order

The Temple City Council held a special called meeting on June 18, 2025, focusing on several key agenda items. The meeting commenced at 8:15 AM and primarily addressed routine matters, with the council approving a consent agenda that included items 1a through 1e, excluding items 1c and 1d, which were pulled for further discussion.

The council unanimously approved item 1c, which involves a developer participation agreement with Seos Super Alloy Technologies LLC. This agreement will facilitate the upsizing of approximately 4,700 feet of the Northwest Little Elm wastewater line to an 18-inch line, with a total cost not to exceed $3.3 million. The vote resulted in three in favor, with one abstention.

Item 1d, which concerned a change order to the construction contract with Wright Builders for the Santa Fe community market, was also approved. This change order is estimated at $134,687.10 and passed with the same voting outcome of three yes votes and one abstention.

Before concluding the meeting, Mayor Pro Tem Walker recognized Jan Lewellen for her five years of service to the city, marking her anniversary on June 22. The meeting then adjourned to convene for an executive session on the third floor.
