The City of Teague Board of Aldermen ordered that expense line items on the city budget reaching 75 percent of the maximum automatically go on the next monthly agenda during their Monday, April 21, meeting.
The vote came about following months of concern about budget overages. The measure goes into effect beginning with the 2025-2026 fiscal year.
The city will continue to use budget amendments for the remainder of the 2024-2025 fiscal year. Revenue line items will not have to be brought to the board. At the May meeting, the board will make a list of all of the line items that can be excluded. Emergency issues will not have to be put on hold. The Mayor can approve the purchase or a special called board meeting can be held.
