Brier scheduled preliminary 2025 budget hearing for Nov. 12

What the records say

The agenda published ahead of the Nov. 12, 2024 meeting listed three public hearings under a single item. The first was on Ordinance 494.A, which would amend the 2024 annual budget. The second was a public hearing on the preliminary 2025 budget. The third was on Ordinance 498, which would levy property taxes for 2025. The agenda also listed consideration of both ordinances later in the meeting. ¹

The agenda does not include the proposed budget amounts, tax rates, or any details about what the ordinances would change. Because this is a pre-meeting record, the materials do not state whether the hearings took place or what the outcomes were. ¹

• The agenda listed a public hearing on Ordinance 494.A to amend the 2024 annual budget. ¹
• A public hearing on the preliminary 2025 budget was scheduled under the same agenda item. ¹
• A public hearing on Ordinance 498 to levy property taxes for 2025 was also scheduled, with consideration of both ordinances listed later on the agenda. ¹

Why it matters

The preliminary 2025 budget and the 2025 property tax levy shape how city services are funded and what revenue the city collects from residents. These scheduled hearings were the public's opportunity to comment on both before the council acted. ¹
