Title
An ordinance providing funds for the 2025-26 Fiscal Year by adopting and approving the budget for said period and appropriating and setting aside the necessary funds out of the general and other revenues of the City for said fiscal year for the maintenance and operation of various departments and activities of the City, for capital and other improvements of the City and for all other expenditures included in said budget.
(This item was postponed at the August 4, 2025, City Council meeting.)
Body
The attached financial schedules represent the City of Mesquite’s proposed plan of operations for Fiscal Year 2025-26 commencing October 1, 2025, and ending September 30, 2026. This plan of operations is the result of numerous City Council/Staff strategy presentations, discussion and opportunities for citizen input on the proposed budget and is contingent upon voter approval of the proposed property tax rate on November 4, 2025. If the tax rate election fails, then the property tax rate would be reduced to the voter-approval rate of $0.704692, and budget expenditures would be reduced to current program service levels.
Recommended/Desired Action
Staff recommends approval of the ordinance.
