4 issues with critical priority
FY 2027 Municipal Budget and Property Tax Rate
The city adopted its fiscal year 2027 budget along with a reduced tax rate of $0.581 per $100, funding street maintenance, public safety, and a 2.5% employee raise.
Manufactured Home Zoning Regulations
An applicant requested a specific use permit to place a manufactured home on a residential lot on Evans Street. The planning commission reviewed neighborhood patterns and voted to recommend denial.
FY2027 External Auditor RFP
Cleburne’s city manager just walked out, and it sounds like internal fighting with city commissioners is to blame. This sudden exit could mean a total shift in the city's agenda and which projects actually get finished.
Public Safety Facility Bond
Cleburne just finished a massive upgrade to its wastewater plant, including a new water reuse program. It’s a smart, proactive move to make sure we don't run dry as the city keeps booming.
