Temple Terrace City Council Meeting June 16, 2026
Published: Jun 16, 2026
New Generator Approved for Fire Station One and EOC
The City Council approved a change order and the purchase of a new generator for Fire Station Number One and the Emergency Operations Center (EOC). The existing 25-year-old generator, originally labeled as 208-V but actually producing 240-V, could not support the EOC's 208-V design. Replacing it with a modern 400-kW generator that produces 208-V will ensure adequate backup power for both facilities. The total cost, including installation and rewiring of Fire Station One to meet current standards, is $338,540. The purchase was made through solicited quotes due to the 7-month lead time, which would be prohibitive for a standard bidding process, ensuring timely delivery before the next hurricane season. The generator will be natural gas powered.
Stage Three Water Restrictions Remain in Effect Through July 1st
The City Council discussed stage three water restrictions, currently in effect through July 1st, and their implications for residents, including those with wells. These restrictions limit watering to once per week between midnight and 4:00 a.m. or 8:00 p.m. and midnight on designated watering days, regardless of water source (well or city water). The city is monitoring the situation and will provide updates if restrictions are extended or modified. Information on specific rules for golf courses, seeding, sod, and new plants is available on the city's website and via direct contact with the city's water department.
City to Enhance Holiday Decorations Downtown; Director Announces Retirement
Public Services Director Langfeld presented findings on recommendations for increasing holiday decorations in the community. The proposal focuses on a fiscally responsible, scalable plan for a concentrated light display in the downtown redevelopment area, estimated to cost $50,000 for the first year. This approach aims to maximize visual impact, activate downtown, and encourage patronage of local businesses. The plan includes expanding displays over three years and upgrading City Hall's decorations. Mosca Designs submitted the lowest quote for the holiday displays. The council affirmed moving forward with the expenditure, with a request to explore decorations for other city facilities. Separately, Public Services Director Langfeld announced his retirement effective June 30th after 45 years of service to the city. He reflected on his career, starting as a lifeguard and progressing through various roles.
