III. Summary:
According to Chapter 102, Section 102.006 of the Local Government Code, "the governing body of a
municipality shall hold a public hearing on the proposed budget. Any person may attend and may
participate in the hearing." The governing body shall also provide for public notice of the date, time and
location of the hearing. This was accomplished in the Fort Worth Star Telegram on August 28, 2015.
City Staff will make a summary presentation prior to council receiving public comments, if any, on the
FY2015-2016 Proposed Budget.
Lastly, Section 102.007 of the Local Government Code on Municipal Budget states that "at the conclusion
of the public hearing, the body of the municipality shall take action on the proposed budget." Because it
is Council's intent to adopt the budget on September 21, 2015 and not at this specific meeting, Council
must still take some kind of action to satisfy the aforementioned requirement. Staff recommends that
council take formal action to table adoption of the budget at a later time.
