Council reviews FY26 budget letter and city manager provides community updates
Summary
Council discussed the proposed FY26 budget letter and key revenue/expenditure assumptions, and the city manager reported community items including a new Levelland ISD superintendent, Labor Day closures, and upcoming events; no budget action was taken.
Council discussed a proposed FY26 budget letter and considered using the letter as a template in future years; staff emphasized key expenditure and revenue areas and said the draft reflects an assumed 98% collection rate. No formal action was taken on the budget at the special meeting.
In the City Manager’s report staff noted a new superintendent for Levelland Independent School District, reminders about Labor Day facility closures, the "Levelland Listens" event on Sept. 2, the SPAG general assembly on Sept. 17, and the start of Leadership Levelland on Sept. 9. Council also commended the police department for a community "Casting with Cops" event. No actions were required or taken on these items.
Why it matters: the budget discussion highlights assumptions staff will use in preparing FY26 documents; community notices and recognition items inform residents and stakeholders of upcoming events and leadership programs.
Next steps: staff will continue budget development and return to council with formal budget items for action at future meetings.
