Summary
On Dec. 10 the council approved two ordinances on second and third reading amending the 2024–25 budget: a $1,226,176 allocation for a paid‑time‑off (PTO) buyout program and $203,966 to fund a retroactive cost‑of‑living adjustment in the TMRS plan.
At the start of the Dec. 10 special meeting the council approved the consent agenda, which included two budget‑amendment ordinances described by staff. Miss Hoberg (city staff) summarized the items on the consent agenda: an ordinance amending the 2024–25 budget to fund a PTO buyout program in the amount of $1,226,176 (Item C‑1, on second and third reading), and an ordinance amending the 2024–25 budget to fund the city’s TMRS (Texas Municipal Retirement System) plan for a retroactive cost‑of‑living adjustment in the amount of $203,966 (Item C‑2, on second and third reading).
A motion was made and seconded to approve the consent agenda; the council voted in favor and the consent agenda passed. No separate roll call vote for the individual ordinances was recorded in the transcript beyond the consent‑agenda action.
Ending: Both ordinances passed as part of the consent agenda; staff indicated implementation will proceed under the adopted budget amendments.
