Fort Worth officials consider reallocating housing funds boosting animal welfare grants and modernizing crime data systems in consequential February policy meeting

Fort Worth, Texas – Fort Worth’s City Council is set to gather Tuesday evening, Feb. 10, for a meeting that will cover transportation planning, neighborhood investment, public safety technology, and animal welfare funding. The session is scheduled for 6 p.m. in the council chambers at City Hall, located at 100 Fort Worth Trail.

Several funding decisions are expected to shape long-term city priorities. Council members will consider approving additional resources to update the Master Transportation Plan and make adjustments to the city’s 2026–2030 Capital Improvement Program.

Another item proposes $300,000 for the U.S. 287 and East Berry Street Governor’s Community Achievement Award project, reflecting continued attention to infrastructure and community development in that corridor.

Support for local programs is also on the agenda. Officials will review grant applications and the possible acceptance of up to $250,000 from pet-focused organizations to assist Animal Welfare initiatives during Fiscal Year 2026.

In a separate housing-related move, the council is expected to discuss reallocating $400,000 in Community Development Block Grant funding from the Habitat for Humanity Como Townhomes effort to the Preserve-A-Home Program in Como.

Routine city operations and public safety investments round out the meeting’s business. Members will weigh approval of a 2026 asphalt resurfacing contract covering multiple locations across Fort Worth.

They will also consider a sole-source agreement to provide real-time crime center data integration software for the Police Department, a step aimed at improving information sharing and response capabilities.

Residents will have an opportunity to address council members during the public comment portion of the meeting. Individual speakers are limited to three minutes, while group presentations may last up to six minutes, with flexibility allowed at the mayor’s discretion.

The full agenda and live broadcast are available through Fort Worth TV, including online streaming, television access, a video library archive, and the city’s YouTube channel. Instructions for appearing before the council are also provided through city resources.
