The Universal City Council meeting on July 15, 2025, focused on public comments regarding property taxes and the city's tax abatement program. Mayor opened the floor for public input but noted that no residents had signed up to speak. After briefly closing the public hearing, the Mayor reopened it to allow for any questions related to a recent briefing by Ms. Turner.

During the discussion, it was clarified that the tax abatement program pertains solely to city property taxes, as Texas law prohibits school districts from participating in such programs. This distinction was emphasized to ensure community understanding of the tax implications.

Following the public hearing, the meeting transitioned to announcements, where City Manager Nora Moye was set to address various community interests, including awards and recognitions. The council's engagement with the public on tax matters highlights its commitment to transparency and community involvement in local governance. Further details on community initiatives and recognitions are expected in the upcoming announcements.
