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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Citywide street conditions and paving priorities
Road rebuilds run roughly $5–6 million per mile; the survey's first year costs $17,000, then $13,500 annually.
Accessory structure height standards (Chapter 90-4.02)
FlashVote Citizen Survey Tool
Costs $7,900 a year plus $3,000 to implement, funded from existing budget sources like consulting fee savings.
Water and Wastewater Rate Ordinance Revision
Expect roughly a 3–5% overall utility bill increase; heavy yard-watering households could see larger wastewater volume charges.
Citywide Landscape Services Contract
Supplementing TxDOT contracts would add ongoing costs, not yet estimated.
Economic Development Project #26-01
Details were not disclosed in the open materials; economic development incentives could carry fiscal implications.
Emergency access gates on Leslie Drive and Norma Lane
Estimated $11,347–$18,000 for the gates, plus concrete work still being quoted.
NCTCOG Electric Vehicle Charging Grant
The city pays about 30% of the project cost; whether charging is free to users is being verified.
Police Staffing and Retention
The city pays full academy, equipment, and uniform costs with a two-year post-probation service agreement, and a compensation market study is planned this year.
Falling Taxable Values and TAD Appraisal Concerns
Could freeze roughly half the city's revenue growth; unquantified but described as significant.
$5.5 million in aged receivables and write-off policy
Writing off the backlog would shrink reported receivables to reflect reality; collected amounts still return to city funds.
Public Beautification and Art Advisory Committee
Supported by a nearly $30,000 grant for library beautification and mural.
