Equipment upgrades, a new records clerk position and a new juvenile case manager position are among the requests Manvel officials are making for the City Secretary's Office, Public Information Office and Municipal Court.
As Manvel officials develop the budget for fiscal year 2026-27, City Secretary Tammy Bell presented staffing and operational priorities during City Council’s July 6 workshop.
What you need to know: The City Secretary’s Office projects it will process around 250 public information requests by the end of the current fiscal year, nearly a 28% increase compared to FY 2024-25, and over 31,000 email transactions, representing a 13% increase, city documents show.
Also of note: Municipal Court filed nearly 6,300 warnings, issued about 2,250 citations and issued nearly 1,270 warrants from October 2025 through June, city documents show.
While facility space was identified as a primary challenge, Bell said it is expected to be addressed through the buildout of City Hall’s west wing and the current annex building.
