Georgetown officials are prioritizing reliable service delivery as they prepare for the upcoming budget cycle, emphasizing investments in water and electric maintenance to enhance resiliency and reliability. During a recent workshop, city leaders highlighted the importance of initiatives like Ask GTX, aimed at improving customer service for residents.

The city is committed to maintaining a strong financial position, with a focus on conservative budgeting and healthy reserve levels to navigate uncertainties. Georgetown aims to uphold its AAA bond rating and has recently achieved a credit upgrade for its utility services.

As the city faces growth challenges beyond its limits, officials are considering adjustments to service fees, particularly for non-residents using parks and recreation facilities. This move is part of a broader strategy to ensure cost recovery and evaluate underutilized programs while maintaining essential services.

City leaders are also focused on workforce development, planning to enhance compensation and benefits to attract and retain skilled staff. They recognize the need for tough decisions in the budget to balance service demands with available resources, ensuring that Georgetown remains a competitive and attractive place to live and work.
