Council establishes ad hoc budget committee to review 2025‑26 budget deficit
Summary
The council approved creation of a two‑member ad hoc committee to work with staff on the city’s structural budget deficit and directed staff to schedule meetings over the summer, aiming to conclude work by November.
City Manager Dave Rollins asked the City Council on Tuesday to appoint two members to a budget ad hoc committee to collaborate with staff on changes to the 2025–26 budget to address a structural deficit. The council approved establishing the committee and will appoint two council members at a later meeting.
Rollins said staff’s goal is to complete initial work within about three months and to present potential changes or a revised budget to council by November. He estimated the committee would meet roughly every two weeks during the work period and that meetings could be scheduled mornings or evenings to accommodate council schedules.
The council adopted a resolution establishing the ad hoc committee by roll call (Council member Aguilera Hernandez Aye; Council member Flores Aye; Mayor Pro Tem Puerto Escobedo No; Mayor Patino Aye). Staff said appointments of two council members would be scheduled at a future meeting and that the committee would work with department directors as needed.
