Montgomery City Council is set to spend two consecutive evenings focused on the city’s next budget as officials continue working through spending priorities for the upcoming fiscal year. 
Council will first meet for a budget workshop at 6 p.m. 
Aug. 10, followed by its regular meeting at 6 p.m. 
Aug. 
11. 
What’s happening? 
During the Aug. 10 workshop, council members are slated to review and discuss the city’s proposed budget ahead of the regular meeting the following evening. 
The workshop gives council another opportunity to work through the numbers and provide direction as the city moves closer to adopting its spending plan for the new fiscal year. 
Council will return Aug. 11 for its regularly scheduled meeting, where the budget process will continue. 
City Council is responsible for approving the city of Montgomery’s annual budget and tax rate. 
What’s next? 
The two meetings are part of the city’s annual budget process, which ultimately determines how much funding goes toward city operations and services in the coming fiscal year. 
Any changes made during the workshop could also shape the version of the budget the council considers as the process moves forward. 
Both meetings will be held at Montgomery City Hall, 101 Old Plantersville Road.
