Monthly financial report (period ending Jan. 31, 2025): The council approved a motion to accept and approve the monthly financial report. Finance staff reported general fund revenues at 47% of budget year-to-date and total revenues recorded through Jan. 31 of approximately $8,294,000 with expenditures of about $6,801,000, producing a net positive variance near $1.5 million and a general fund balance of $15,000,008.66.

Interlocal agreement — tower microwave and dispatch router upgrade: The council approved a resolution authorizing the city manager to execute an interlocal agreement with the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) for water-tower microwave replacement, a dispatch router upgrade and associated MPLS transport for dark fiber.
