Austin City Council discusses budget approval and community outreach strategies

The Dunn County Transit Committee convened on August 13, 2025, to discuss various agenda items, including updates on transit initiatives and budget approvals. The meeting began with a brief discussion on the promotion of transit services, suggesting the use of cork boards in local gas stations and grocery stores to increase visibility and awareness.

The committee then moved on to the electric bus update, which was noted as not available at this time. This led to a reflection on the value of the committee's time and efforts in promoting transit options.

A significant portion of the meeting focused on budget discussions. Members addressed the need to approve the budget, with one member referencing an updated budget sheet that had been circulated prior to the meeting. There was some confusion regarding the documents being reviewed, as members compared printed copies and discussed the updates made to the budget.

The meeting concluded with a consensus on the importance of finalizing the budget and ensuring all members were aligned on the latest updates. The committee plans to reconvene to finalize the budget and continue discussions on transit initiatives in the coming weeks.
