The Benbrook City Council made significant strides in fiscal planning during their recent meeting on September 18, 2025, approving key budgetary measures for the upcoming fiscal year.

The council unanimously adopted an ordinance that sets the budget figures for fiscal year 2025-2026, following a presentation at the September 4 meeting. Council member Missus Mackey initiated the motion, which received a second from Doctor Marshall, leading to a swift roll call vote that saw all members in favor.

In a related move, the council also approved a new ad valorem tax rate of 0.5550, marking a modest 0.78% increase. Doctor Marshall proposed this motion, which was seconded by Mr. Tyner, and again, the council voted unanimously in favor.

Finally, the council ratified the property tax revenue as reflected in the newly adopted budget, with Mr. Tyner making the motion and Miss Franklin seconding it. This decision also passed without opposition.

These actions reflect the council's commitment to maintaining fiscal responsibility while ensuring adequate funding for city services in the coming year. The unanimous votes indicate strong support among council members for the proposed financial strategies.
