Belme Finance Department Receives GTO Investment Policy Certificate of Distinction
The City Council received a presentation on the Government Treasurers' Organization of Texas (GTO) Investment Policy Certificate of Distinction for the two-year period ending June 30, 2028. This distinction acknowledges the city's adherence to high standards and transparency in investing public funds. The award provides citizens and the council with confidence in the city's financial management practices, ensuring money is invested properly, safely, and without excessive risk.
City Council Amends Parade Ordinance, Streamlining Process for Local Events
The City Council discussed and approved amendments to the parade ordinance, specifically addressing the application process and guidelines for parades. Key changes include removing a clause requiring a formal engineered plan for parades exceeding four hours, as such parades have not occurred in the past seven years. The city will manage parades on city streets internally, while parades involving state highways or rights-of-way will require coordination with TxDOT. The ordinance amendments passed their first and second readings.
City Council Approves Touch Oak Subdivision Plans, RM Zoning, and Pursues Water System Grant
The City Council approved several items on the consent agenda, including preliminary plans for the Touch Oak subdivision and a resolution designating a 13.9-acre track of the Walker track 14 for RM zoning. Additionally, the council considered a resolution for a Texas Water Development Board grant application of up to $21 million to address the aging water system, with no match required if granted. The council also approved the city attorney's agreement for one year, adjusting the rate from $205 to $215 per hour.
City Council Grapples with Budget Deficit, Proposes Tax Rate Increase Amidst Rising Costs and Declining Revenue
The City Council engaged in a budget workshop for the upcoming fiscal year, identifying critical financial challenges and potential solutions. Key concerns include state-imposed unfunded mandates, declining tax bases due to exemptions, and rising operational costs for services such as employee salaries, health insurance, and infrastructure maintenance. The city manager proposed a tax rate increase to 0.44 cents to address deferred maintenance and ensure continued service delivery and future growth. The council discussed various revenue sources and policy choices to balance growth, taxes, fees, and debt, with a focus on sustainability and maintaining high service levels despite financial pressures. Specific attention was given to infrastructure needs, including water and sewer systems, and the impact of employee retention on service quality. The city is also pursuing grant opportunities and has secured federal funding for infrastructure projects.
