City Council Special Meeting · 9:05 AM · Council Chambers, City Hall, 300 N. Campbell And Virtually

The special meeting agenda featured two public hearings tied to the City of El Paso's FY 2026-2027 fiscal package: one on the ordinance levying property taxes and one on the proposed budget, as amended. Both items carried a notation that adoption would take place on August 18, 2026, making this session the noticed hearing step rather than the adoption date.

The key reporting question is what changed between the July 17 filed budget and the amended version brought to hearing.
