Chair schedules adoption of Lucas fire district budget after brief public hearing
Summary
The Lucas Fire Control Prevention and EMS District Board set Aug. 25 to adopt its FY2025–26 budget after a brief public hearing with no speakers; Finance Director Liz Exum said the district is anticipating $677,137 in revenue for the year.
The Chair of the Lucas Fire Control Prevention and EMS District Board moved on Aug. 21 to set a date to adopt the district's fiscal year 2025–26 budget, after a short public hearing that produced no public comment.
Finance Director Liz Exum told the board she had no presentation that evening and said the budget was reviewed at a July 17 workshop. Exum said the district's budget is comprised of designated sales tax revenue and an associated service fee transferred back to the city and that the board is "anticipating fire district revenue of $677,137" for FY2025–26.
The Chair opened the required public hearing at 6:32 p.m., invited comments and, after receiving none, closed the hearing at 6:33 p.m. The board then voted by voice to set Monday, Aug. 25, 2025 at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall, 665 Country Club Drive, Lucas, Texas, as the meeting to adopt a resolution approving the budget. The transcript records a voice vote and the Chair's statement that the motion carried; the transcript does not provide a roll-call tally or individual vote counts.
Why it matters: The board is the mechanism by which the city designates a portion of sales tax revenue for fire services; setting the adoption date advances the formal budget process and schedules the resolution for final action.
The board took no other substantive action on the budget during the Aug. 21 meeting. The public hearing closed with no comments, and the board scheduled the resolution adoption for Aug. 25.
