City Council reviews $25,000 fund for conference travel and organizational memberships

The Fulshear Economic Development Corporation meeting on July 14, 2025, focused on budget adjustments and upcoming training opportunities for board members. A key discussion point was the proposed budget reflecting a $25,000 allocation based on option four presented to the city council.

The board reviewed various budget categories, including dues and memberships, which were reduced by $500 due to underutilization. The Texas Economic Development Council (TEDC) remains the primary organization for membership, and members were encouraged to express interest in any additional organizations they might want to join.

Travel and training expenses were also discussed, with an emphasis on the upcoming Texas Municipal League (TML) Economic Development Corporation conference scheduled for October 29-31. Board members were reminded to confirm their attendance, as past participants noted the valuable information gained from the event.

The meeting also touched on financial transfers related to project funds and clarified the differences between ASA reimbursement and shared services, specifically regarding salaries for staff members.

Overall, the meeting underscored the importance of budget management and professional development for board members, setting the stage for future initiatives and collaborations.
