Council outlines budget calendar, targets Aug. 25 public hearing and vote
Summary
Council members sketched a timeline for the city budget: certified values due July 25, final draft by Aug. 4, notice published Aug. 11 and a hearing and vote targeted for Aug. 25, with contingency planning if the budget is not approved then.
City council members reviewed a tentative calendar for the upcoming municipal budget process and identified Aug. 25 as the target date for the public hearing and vote. Speaker 1 said the schedule should account for county appraisals and filing deadlines, noting, “And they we're hoping Monday, August 25, we'll have the hearing and vote.”
Speaker 1 walked colleagues through key milestones: certified appraised values for Holmes County were cited as due around July 25; the deadline to file a proposed budget with the city secretary and to calculate tax rates follows that date; the council would prepare a final draft by Aug. 4 and publish notice of the public hearing on Aug. 11. Speaker 1 described the calendar as a projection and said adjustments could be made if needed. The council did not take a formal vote; members discussed options for additional meetings if the budget does not pass on the first hearing.
