City Manager Cliff Blackwell returned to the Glenn Heights City Council on Monday to continue discussion of the proposed fiscal year 2025-26 budget and to present supplemental requests and funding options.
Blackwell said the proposed budget was updated to reflect several changes since the council—s August 9 discussion.
