Top issues during term (20)
Utility rate increases from Fort Worth
Water bills will likely rise as pass-through costs from Fort Worth are captured in updated rates.
Accessory structure height and setback variance at 7171 Richland Road
No cost to the city; the applicant bears the cost of redesigning his garage to comply.
Cancellation of four regular Council meetings
Training Option 2 was estimated at $9,214.72 for FY27; holiday staffing costs were flagged for review.
FY 2027 tax rate options
Median home's city property tax would rise from about $1,217 to roughly $1,314 under the proposed budget, or as much as ~$1,447 at the full de minimis rate.
Fiscal Year 2027 CCPD Budget
Estimated revenues of $905,000 and expenditures of $1,158,572, utilizing $253,572 from the fund balance.
Adoption of 2024 International Codes and 2026 National Electrical Code
Fire department needs no additional training funds; ISO ratings could slip if the city stays two editions behind.
Cecil Drive street reconstruction
Engineering capped at $108,600, paid from street bond funds; construction to follow.
Draft Fee Schedule Amendments
Existing residents and businesses are largely unaffected; new development pays updated impact fees, and the city stops subsidizing a $2,900-per-meter Fort Worth charge.
Booth Calloway Road reconstruction funding
County covers $5.8M of the $17.2M project; the rest comes from new certificates of obligation, federal funds and city cash.
Flooding Response and Resident Recognition
Comprehensive Plan as a zoning guide
Tax revenue from the manufacturing use is expected to be minimal in the early years since there's no retail sales component.
FY 2027 Development Corporation Budget
Draws down $567,678 of fund balance, largely for Rosebud Park improvements.
Employee vacation buyback policy
Funded through the strategic initiatives fund; total cost not stated.
Write-off of uncollectible utility and fire department accounts
No hit to the bottom line — an accounting reclassification of about $942,655.
Creek Trail Park Market Events and Special Events Policy
The city spent about $300 co-hosting the recent event as a porta-potty and hand-washing station cost.
One-time employee salary supplement
About $114,057 from the Strategic Initiatives Fund, paid out by the end of October.
Automated Trash Cart Transition
Residents may see cost differences if service drops from twice-weekly to once-weekly pickup.
FY27 Calendar, Holidays, and Council Training
Training option 2 costs about $9,215; option 3 would cost about $31,060, which the city cannot fund.
TIRZ Number One termination
~$1 million one-time plus $350,000/year redirected to the general fund; ~$80,000/year of county share given up.
Aging city IT network replacement
About $27,118 a year for five years versus nearly $99,000 in upfront replacement costs — plus savings on after-hours IT truck rolls.
