The Benbrook City Council took a significant step forward in its financial planning during the meeting on September 18, 2025, by approving the finance report for the period ending August 31, 2025. Council member Tanner initiated the motion, which was promptly seconded by Dr. Marshall, signaling a unified approach to the city’s fiscal management.

The meeting primarily focused on the city’s annual budget and tax-related items, with no new staff reports presented. Instead, the council emphasized that all relevant information had been shared during the previous meeting on September 4, where public hearings were conducted. This streamlined approach allowed the council to move directly to formal actions regarding the budget.

Residents interested in the details of the fiscal year 2025-26 budget and the taxpayer impact statement can find these documents readily available on the city’s website, ensuring transparency and accessibility for the community.

This approval marks a crucial moment in Benbrook's financial planning, setting the stage for the upcoming fiscal year and reflecting the council's commitment to responsible governance.
