The City of Bandera held a council meeting on January 28, 2025, where several resolutions were discussed and voted on. Key procurement-related discussions included the approval of a resolution opposing a rate increase request by Atmos Energy MidTex Division, reflecting the city's support for residents against higher utility rates. Additionally, the council approved a resolution establishing an employee compensation adjustment policy, allowing up to a 2% pay increase for non-salaried employees within budget constraints, with a focus on retention and fiscal responsibility. The council also addressed budget surplus from prior raises to fund these adjustments without additional expenses.
