Please be careful of letting the pension funding get out of hand.

Q: Good day. The city has done a good job of balancing its budget. Please be careful of letting the pension funding get out of hand as this has doomed more than a few cities. Borrowing money to pay another debt is a tricky road to walk and usually doesn't end well.

A: We appreciate your input and concernment for the pension. Please know that there are financial reports that give a financial summary of the City of Irving’s debt and financial standing. The link to these pages is below. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any future concerns or questions. Have a great week.
