During the DeSoto City Council Special Meeting on July 24, 2025, a key focus was the budget overview for the City Council and City Secretary's office. Notably, the City Secretary's office reported a decrease in special events, with some responsibilities shifting to the community services budget. Memberships and subscriptions for the City Council saw a slight increase.

However, a significant correction was made regarding a proposed reclassification within the City Secretary's office. It was clarified that there would be no reclassification for this fiscal year, a point that was acknowledged as a mistake in the budget documentation. The council confirmed that updates would be made online to reflect this change.

As the meeting progressed, the discussion moved on to the City Manager's office, which had no highlighted changes this year, and then transitioned to community services and external affairs. The meeting underscored the importance of accurate budget reporting and the ongoing adjustments necessary to reflect the city's evolving needs.
