Top issues during term (20)(General)
FY 2027 Budget and Staffing
Total county budget of $494.5 million with a reduced property tax rate.
urban planning
Expect your property taxes or utility fees to shift as the city funds the massive infrastructure upgrades needed to support all these new neighbors.
Public Health Funding
State grant revenues and expenditures allocated totaling over $500,000 for public health programs.
287(g) Immigration Program
Federal funding covers training and processing expenses, resulting in no direct added cost to the county.
Civil Courts Building Construction
Utilizes previously allocated capital project funds and federal ARPA balances.
state preemption of local governance
Legal battles like this cost taxpayers a fortune in litigation fees and could lead to expensive shifts in how city services are managed.
population growth
You can expect your property taxes and cost of living to climb as the city scrambles to fund new infrastructure for all these new people.
legal dispute / public facility policy
Taxpayers could be on the hook for significant legal fees if this battle drags through the courts.
athletic facility lighting regulations
Property values near athletic complexes might get a small boost since harsh night glare won't be ruining backyard ambiance.
lighting variance
The church avoids the upfront cost of upgrading their sports lighting system.
surveillance technology
While exact costs weren' taxpayers would likely foot the bill for buying, installing, and maintaining these camera networks.
local rewards program
You get direct cash back on everyday purchases, keeping more money in your wallet while shopping close to home.
annexation
You might see a change in your property tax rate and utility bills depending on how Fort Worth's fees stack up against your current Denton County costs.
fee updates and waivers
You'll save money on permit costs if you need to tear out a damaged pool.
domestic violence response
While upfront funding is needed for mental health staffing, it could save money long-term by reducing repeat emergency calls and hospital visits.
animal shelter
Your local taxes will likely go up to fund the construction and daily operations of the new shelter.
alcohol sales referendum
Local businesses could see a nice bump in revenue as residents stop driving to neighboring towns for dinner drinks.
city management
It just maintains the current budget for the interim role, so no surprise costs for taxpayers.
marijuana decriminalization
It saves the city from wasting time and money on legal battles over a policy that was never going to hold up in court.
governance restructuring
No immediate cost changes, but your tax dollars funding the crime board will now be managed directly by the town council.
