The session will begin with standard procedures, including a roll call and the approval of minutes from previous meetings. Following these formalities, the council will shift its focus to more substantial matters. One of the key items on the agenda is a public hearing on the city’s budget for the upcoming fiscal year. This hearing provides a vital opportunity for residents to share their views on how the city should manage its financial resources. The feedback from this session could influence decisions regarding city services, public projects, and local tax rates.

Additionally, the council will review ongoing and upcoming city projects, with discussions likely to cover the progress, budget considerations, and any challenges faced. Public safety is another critical topic on the agenda, especially given recent incidents in the city. Updates from the police and fire departments may be presented, along with discussions on new initiatives to enhance community safety.

The meeting will also include the appointment of individuals to various city boards and commissions, as well as recognitions for community members who have made notable contributions to Eagle Pass. These appointments and acknowledgments play a key role in the city’s governance and community engagement efforts.

An executive session is scheduled as part of the meeting, where the council will discuss sensitive matters under Section 551 of the Texas Government Code.
