7-22-2026 CC Budget Workshop

The City of Bandera held a budget workshop on July 22, 2026, focusing on the 2027 fiscal year budget preparations. The discussion centered on departmental budget line items, including legal services for city council, administrative expenses, and the marshal's office budget. Key procurement-related topics included the allocation for legal fees specific to city council, adjustments to general and miscellaneous supplies budgets, and travel and training expenses for city staff. The marshal's office budget was reviewed in detail, covering vehicle leasing costs, maintenance, safety gear purchases, and training requirements. The council also discussed the potential for outsourcing certain law enforcement transport duties and the challenges of staffing and equipment costs. Additionally, animal control budget considerations were addressed, including reimbursement issues and facility management. No formal votes or contract awards were recorded during the workshop, but several budget adjustments and policy considerations were proposed to better align expenditures with operational needs.
