BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
During the FY 2027 budget process, the City Council approved additional one-time funding ($100,000) to support the partnership with the Humane Society of the New Braunfels Area (HSNBA). Since that time, the Humane Society has finalized its FY 2027 operating budget, and the County has approved its annual contract for services. As a result, City staff has completed an updated review of the organization's financial position, including overall solvency, and the continued establishment of financial reserves.
In addition, City staff and HSNBA leadership have collaborated on a proposal for the utilization of the previously referenced $100,000 in one-time funding. The purpose of this presentation is to provide the City Council with an overview of the Humane Society's current financial condition, summarize the progress made since the budget discussions, and present the proposed one-time facility repairs and enhancements that are recommended for funding consideration.
