It’s only May, but already League City officials are working on the fiscal year 2023-24 budget, which will begin Oct. 1.
The big picture
City staff and council will review and discuss the budget in a series of public workshops where they will be able to increase, decrease or otherwise alter items in the budget.
- July 17: capital projects and budget overview
- July 24: utilities, engineering, streets, planning, building, neighborhood services, economic development, project management, information technology and facilities
- July 31: administration, public safety, parks and library, communications, finance, budget and human resources
- Aug. 1: outstanding items and wrap-up
- Aug. 8: public hearing on budget
- Aug. 22: second public hearing on budget and first reading of budget ordinance
- Sept. 12: second and final reading of budget ordinance
- Sept. 20: deadline to adopt budget
Residents can get involved in the budgeting process by:
- Reviewing the budget when it’s made public in July on the city’s website and at Helen Hall Library;
- Submitting questions to Assistant City Manager Angie Steelman at angie.steelman@leaguecitytx.gov or 281-338-4186;
