Irving City Council

The city council voted unanimously to approve the interlocal agreement between DART and the city for general mobility program funds. It then voted 7-2 in favor of cancelling the election.

With Irving and Plano, DART's largest member cities, now saying they’ll reconsider holding withdrawal elections, it’s not clear what happens next. But Irving officials said in a press release they’ll discuss the election at their next city council meeting.

The campus, planned for a roughly 37-acre patch of land on the east side of the city, would house three buildings each two stories high.

The discussion came as DART works to negotiate with member cities thinking about leaving the transit system, with a potential deal that would stave off elections already on the table.

Some residents are concerned about their ability to get to work, attend medical appointments and reach services like a local inclement weather shelter.

Joshua James Berkau resigned days after his links to white nationalist group Patriot Front surfaced.

Irving officials took residents’ questions about what World Cup logistics might look like without DART services in the city.

The city joins Plano, Highland Park and Farmers Branch in seeking a potential withdrawal from the transit agency.

Irving’s Nov. 6 city council agenda includes a discussion on whether the city will hold a referendum to remain a part of the Dallas Area Rapid Transit system, or DART.

During their work session Oct. 23, at least one council member pointed to the possibility of a DART pullout referendum, which lines up with other Irving city officials’ stances in recent months.

After months of negotiations, the Irving Professional Fire Fighters Association has a new outline of employment terms and conditions for its members, including staffing, hours and work conditions.

The budget addresses first responder staffing and infrastructure improvements, among other city priorities.
