Rowlett council unanimously tables FY2025 budget to special meeting
Summary
Council voted by show of hands to table the proposed FY2025 budget and set a special-called meeting for Aug. 14 after the mayor left the work session due to illness; motion was made by Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Schinder and seconded by Council Member Britton.
The Rowlett City Council voted unanimously to table its proposed fiscal year 2025 budget during the Aug. 5 work session and scheduled a special-called meeting for Aug. 14 to take up the item.
City Manager (unnamed in the transcript) told council the mayor had to leave because he was ill and asked that the budget item be moved to a special meeting. The City Manager asked the council to consider tabling the proposed budget "until a special call meeting on August 14." A council member briefly proposed a different special date (Aug. 10) during the exchange, but the council confirmed Aug. 14.
An unidentified council member moved to table the item and a subsequent speaker formally moved and the presiding official recorded the motion as offered by Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Schinder with a second by Council Member Britton. The presiding official asked for a show-of-hands vote; the motion "carrie[d] unanimously by a member by the membership of those present," and the council set the special-called meeting for Aug. 14 at 6:30 p.m.
No substantive budget deliberation or amendment occurred at the work session; the action taken was procedural: to postpone consideration to the special-called meeting. The council adjourned the work session at approximately 6:28 p.m.
Motion text recorded during the work session: "table this item until a special call meeting on August 14." Mover: Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Schinder; second: Council Member Britton; outcome: tabled (carried unanimously by members present).
