During the City Council meeting on September 18, 2025, the Wimberley City Council discussed the adoption of the fiscal year 2025-2026 budget and proposed fee schedule, a decision that directly impacts local residents and community services.

City Administrator Tim Pawtek presented the budget, highlighting that it remains largely unchanged from previous years. However, he noted a significant addition to the fee schedule: a new daily rental rate of $1,500 for the entire Wimberley Community Center venue. This change was made in response to community requests for more flexible rental options, allowing residents to rent the venue without needing to utilize all its facilities.

The council expressed appreciation for the teamwork displayed by Pawtek and Gabrielle, a staff member, emphasizing their effective collaboration in managing city affairs. This positive dynamic is seen as beneficial for the community, as it enhances the administration's responsiveness to public needs.

As the council prepares to finalize the budget, residents can expect continued support for community services and facilities, reflecting the city’s commitment to addressing local concerns. The approval of the budget will pave the way for planning future initiatives and improvements that align with the community's goals.
