Floresville council approves budget amendment to add staff and changes park fee to per‑door structure
Summary
Council approved ordinance 2026‑017 to add staffing capacity (planning director, parks director, purchasing agent) and adopted ordinance 2026‑018 to change the recreational utility/park fee to a per‑door (per‑unit) collection; staff said current monthly park‑fee collections are about $3,200 and the change could raise potential receipts to just under $5,000.
City finance and management staff presented a midyear budget amendment on March 26 that would add several positions and adjust the city's recreational utility (park) fee structure.
The finance director said the amendment would fund a planning director, a parks director and a purchasing agent and that projected salary ranges could be roughly $85,000–$95,000 for the parks director, $75,000–$85,000 for the planning director and $35,000–$40,000 for the purchasing agent (figures discussed as market ranges). Staff said some of this funding would come from personnel savings earlier in the fiscal year and that a formal midyear reconciliation will produce final figures within about 60 days.
Separately, staff proposed amending the park utility fee ordinance to charge the recreational fee on a per‑door (per‑unit) basis rather than per meter, citing examples where multiunit properties paid one meter but represented many residential doors. The manager and finance staff said current monthly park fee receipts total about $3,200 and that a per‑door approach could increase potential monthly receipts to just under $5,000.
Council voted to approve the budget amendment (ordinance 2026‑017) and the revised park fee structure (ordinance 2026‑018). A council member clarified that approving the amendment does not obligate immediate expenditure; staff will return with finalized midyear budget numbers and any further amendments as necessary. The motions passed on voice votes reported in the transcript as unanimous (5–0).
