All items were scheduled for approval as recommended by staff or boards.

Public Comments & Testimony

• The agenda allowed citizen comments on consent agenda items during the work session and public hearing testimony on the FY 2025-26 proposed budget and property tax rate. No transcript was provided to report specific comments or positions.

Discussion Items

• Work Session Reports: Staff presented reports and sought Council direction on: the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Annual Internal Audit Plan, an update to the City’s Inclement Weather Policy, the City Manager’s Proposed FY 2025-26 Budget, and uniformity of board/commission member terms. Estimated discussion times ranged from 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Public Hearings: Two public hearings were held: one on the FY 2025-26 Proposed Budget, including a Taxpayer Impact Statement showing a median homestead tax increase of $78.84 compared to the current year; and a second on a proposed property tax rate not to exceed $0.605420 per $100 valuation (exceeding the no-new-revenue rate of $0.554279).
• Individual Consideration: Two items were scheduled: an ordinance authorizing a contract and lease agreement with Mayhill Renewables, LLC, for a Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) facility at the landfill (recommended by Public Utilities Board, 5-0); and a resolution nominating members to the Denton Central Appraisal District Board of Directors.

Key Outcomes

• No transcript or minutes were provided to confirm actual decisions, votes, or next steps. The agenda indicates that all listed items were scheduled for action, but outcomes (including approval, rejection, amendments, or referrals) remain unknown. The absence of the transcript makes it impossible to attribute positions or tally votes.
