Staff Comments: Ron Olson
Mr. Olson presented the City Council with the FY2019 proposed budget and identified the schedule to discuss each fund in more detail (August 14, August 21 and August 28). Mr. Olson advised the council of the current financial condition and the future needs of the city. He identified strategic budget issues as compensation equity for employees, the Texas Municipal Retirement System (TMRS), deferred street maintenance, and deferred city owned building maintenance and the effect each will have on the budget now and in the future. The proposed budget was presented with all operation funds being balanced, without raising taxes, without increasing utility rates and without increasing fees. As mentioned, discussions on the FY 2019 proposed budget will continue as scheduled until adoption of the final budget in September.
