City Council - Oct 21, 2026
The city just created its own municipal electric utility to serve big industrial loads in the Victory Logistics District, funded entirely by about $600 million in private capital. The promise: power by November 2028 instead of 2038, and roughly $23 million a year in city revenue at full build-out — with no cost to existing ratepayers. Councilman Mendoza wants a five-person board instead of three, and an amendment is coming after the new year.
City Council - Sep 2, 2026

The council tabled the ordinance 3-1 until consultants report back, after concerns about the fee, council authority, safety and water use.
