Consultant David Bridal (FutureIQ) and city staff summarized community outreach — more than 700 community touchpoints, youth engagement and multiple public workshops — that informed a framework of five pillars: economic & business development; mobility & infrastructure; community amenities & events; residential nodes & land use; and brand & reputation. Survey and workshop results ranked economic and business development and mobility among the highest priorities.

The plan frames a 10‑year vision and a five‑year implementation roadmap. Prominent themes include a push to capture regional commercial development on the city’s east side, creating vibrant downtown destinations tied to the city’s new civic campus, and strengthening trails and multimodal connections. The consultant and staff said they will use the strategic actions to guide department workplans, capital priorities and future budget allocations.

Council members asked that staff correct a textual error (a reference to a “falling population” that should have read “growing population”) and return any final cleanup; staff confirmed the edit had been identified and would be corrected in the final adopted document.

Ending

Council approved the strategic plan resolution. Staff said departments will begin aligning budgets and capital projects to the plan and will return with implementation details, timelines and measurable performance indicators during upcoming budget and CIP discussions.","Council adopted a five‑year strategic action plan (framed as a 10‑year vision) after a public engagement process that included more than 700 participants.

The PCDC board had proposed a request for quotes (RFQe) approach tailored to economic development corporations; city staff preferred a request for qualifications (RFQ) route so the city could participate in the procurement process under its professional‑services rules. After extended discussion about project management, sequencing and the role of an owner’s representative, the council voted that the PCDC should issue an RFQ and that PCDC, with city staff assistance, would evaluate, hire, fund and oversee an owner’s representative identified through that RFQ process.

Jerry (PCDC executive director) and PCDC board members described Project Greenfield as a site with regional potential and said PCDC would present a targeted procurement that asks professional firms to define market opportunities and recommended implementation approaches. City staff and several council members stressed that development choices for the site should be guided by market analysis, but also by council policy choices (for example, whether the city should pursue an anchor such as higher education, biomedical incubators or other signature uses).

Under the adopted direction, the RFQ will be finalized and published with involvement from both the PCDC and city staff; responses will be reviewed in a joint process that includes city representatives on the evaluation team. Council and PCDC also agreed that the owner’s representative, once selected, will guide the multi‑phase process and that PCDC and the council will have approvals at formal milestones and for any major project spending.

Ending

PCDC board and council leadership asked staff to finalize the RFQ quickly; staff said a revised RFQ would be circulated and posted within days and that a timeline for review and selection would follow. Council members emphasized the need for clear timelines, shared oversight and a public procurement that reaches qualified national firms as well as regional practitioners.","After months of debate over process and who should 'drive the bus,' the Pflugerville City Council and the PCDC board voted to have the PCDC issue a request for qualifications (RFQ) and to have PCDC, with city staff, evaluate, hire, fund and oversee an owner's representative for the Project Greenfield site.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6523244,"Pflugerville staff outline FY‑26 budget with service cuts, pool closures and hiring freeze",67,919000,986000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5062095-0bbf0b81b9c7f25f8ed4c0ccd0298b3c&start=919&end=986","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5062095-0bbf0b81b9c7f25f8ed4c0ccd0298b3c/thumbnail_919000.jpg","/articles/6523244/Pflugerville-City/Travis-County/Texas/Pflugerville-staff-outline-FY26-budget-with-service-cuts-pool-closures-and-hiring-freeze","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6523244-58102f7a0c2dc672a96fbff515fb4f0b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771189684&Signature=Vu-KMFHYUlUa6EaU8MPNsemed1SfQIQL89Pgu7miPVdL9NU005QM1FLML09zy~9MEI99z4ySc-81GIaYvxTIzR9MlvoMn6fayI65bE2OJK1hcOVjefHuZLjzNG0ldjpwLq7yCM-5DaaDSGaJGMg-LjABE6avhKvKQTOmXDxILKfZ3AK2TPcYj-ZMfnwogCsEgsAL~hWhWdFaSytr4tUkpbn31Ec0Gzetxo5RGWTM7NfWwAYn1DaA-zPRrtRg5UjI1I1GgGojlqmkXYQr5cvFhc1xrfZiRvQnBcMBUI4SdPTCC4D44KlaVcqqkdWLxc1ZAiGT7u4Gga51jC~cs6U4KQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Pflugerville city staff presented draft FY‑26 budget assumptions at a joint meeting with the Pflugerville Community Development Corporation (PCDC), telling elected officials that higher operating costs, slow development fee collections and healthcare inflation require significant spending reductions.

City finance staff said departments identified roughly $1.2 million in maintenance-and-operations reductions from the prior year. Senior staff said they froze most new hiring, removed several one‑time programs, reduced training and travel, and cut employee benefits such as tuition reimbursement and some recruitment bonuses to help balance the budget.

Tracy (city finance staff) described planned service adjustments affecting parks and recreation: Windermere Pool will close for FY‑26 and Scott Mitchell Pool will have one fewer weekday of service; the library’s digital platform checkout limits will likely fall from seven items to four or five; several recreation programs will continue but with reduced amenities or days; and the city’s direct contribution to the July 4 fireworks was removed from the proposed budget.

Staff also outlined operational changes for maintenance: mowing frequency in community parks will shift from every seven days to every 10 days, pocket parks and greenbelts will be mowed every 21 days rather than every 14, and contracted restroom cleaning will fall from four days per week to three. The presentation noted that contracted tree repairs and some janitorial contracts were reduced or removed.

On personnel, staff proposed a 3% cost‑of‑living increase in the draft numbers but warned that rising dependent health‑insurance costs may erase or reduce the net pay increase for many lower‑paid employees. Staff said they had tentatively budgeted a 5% increase for employee health insurance while continuing a high‑deductible option and health savings contributions.

Revenue pressures drove the cuts, staff said. The city reported a notable slowdown in development‑related fees: planning and building permit revenue fell well short of prior projections, and commercial property appeals in Travis County reduced appraised values materially. Staff said they conservatively projected only 3% sales tax growth for FY‑26 and noted an error in earlier base values used for tax calculations that reduced the amount the general fund would retain from certain tax levies.

City leaders stressed the choices reflected efforts to protect core services while preserving fund balance, and they warned that long‑term solutions depend on capturing more commercial development and reversing the current trend in permit revenue.

Ending

Staff presented the draft assumptions as the first step of multiple budget work sessions. Council members and PCDC members asked for more detail on revenue assumptions, the timeline for certified appraisal rolls, and the potential service impacts of the proposed reductions. Staff said the council would receive a proposed budget in August and vote on adoption with a tax rate in September.","City staff told the Pflugerville City Council and PCDC board that rising costs, flat revenues and falling development fees require about $1.2 million in recurring reductions and several service cuts — including closing one city pool and reducing mowing and restroom cleaning frequency — as part of the FY‑26 budget assumptions.","actionData","errors"]
