The hearing is scheduled to be held on Thursday, September 10, 2020, beginning at 6:00, virtually through zoom, with a link and call in information to be provided.
Texas Local Government Code requires that a public hearing be held on the budget to allow citizen input before adopting the budget. The hearing is scheduled to be held on Thursday, September 10, 2020, beginning at 6:00, virtually through zoom, with a link and call in information to be provided.
