Everman — The Everman City Council approved Ordinance 8‑42 on Sept. 9 to adopt the fiscal year 2025–26 budget with total appropriations of $13,910,733.
Council convened to consider the budget after an executive session to consult with the city attorney. The budget document posted to the city website carries a timestamp showing the final, amended version was uploaded at 9:08 p.m. as the council took its vote.
The budget notice presented earlier to the council stated the plan will raise $139,061 more in property tax revenue than last year, a 4.13 percent increase. The amount of property tax revenue to be raised from new property added to the tax roll this year was shown on the public notice as $140,064.
Rodney Dryden of HUB International delivered the earlier budget presentation and described an overall net zero change in employee health-plan costs after negotiations with UnitedHealthcare and bundling of dental, life, disability and vision plans. The council discussed timing and technical updates to the posted document before final adoption.
The motion to approve Ordinance 8‑42 as amended (exhibit A) was made on the record and approved by a majority vote. Vote by roll call: Place 1 — aye; Place 2 — aye; Place 3 — aye; Place 5 — no; Place 6 — aye; Mayor — no. The motion outcome was approved.
The adopted budget and related exhibits are posted on the city website; the mayor and city manager indicated remaining minor technical updates may continue to appear online in page-by-page form but the version with the 9:08 p.m. timestamp is the approved package.
The council set no additional implementation dates on the ordinance itself beyond the normal effective-dates language; staff said they will post the final document and continue routine budget briefings for council and the public.
