SUBJECT: Public hearing on the proposed Fiscal Year 2026 Annual Budget
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
The City of Killeen provides opportunities for public input throughout the budget process. The Local Government Code, City Charter, and Financial Governance Policy require one public hearing be held prior to the adoption of the budget. The public hearing is an opportunity for citizens to express their thoughts and opinions on the proposed budget. Citizens are encouraged to be present and participate in the public hearing.
On July 1, 2025, the City Manager presented the proposed Fiscal Year 2026 Annual Budget to the City Council. At that meeting, City Council set the date of July 22, 2025 to hold a public hearing on the proposed budget. The City Charter states City Council may change the proposed budget following the public hearing. If the change to the budget involves inserting additional items or increasing the budget, another public hearing must be held prior to making the change.
