Court schedules weekly budget meetings; staff to publish direction after FY27 presentation

County staff told the Commissioners Court they will list a series of regular meetings in August and September so the court can take action on the budget and tax rate and any related items. Staff listed meeting dates and said they would meet weekly for a month unless not necessary.

"We'll meet every week for a month... so that we could take action on budget, tax rate, the things we needed to do," a staff member told the court. Staff said they received direction from the court regarding the 3% recommendation and will publish that direction in the newspaper as required by law. Commissioners confirmed the timing for formal votes and presentations, noting the vote on the elected-official salary recommendation is scheduled for Aug. 11.

The court accepted the presentation and, with no further business, received motions to adjourn and recessed. The recorded procedural actions included a motion to open the court at the start of the session and a motion to adjourn at the end; both motions were carried by voice vote during the special call.
