FY 2013 Operating Budget.pdf - Missouri City, TX - Official Website

=============================== FY 2013 ANNUAL BUDGET =================================
the city’s rate is expected to grow each year until it exceeds the more stabilized Repeating election for
C.O.L.A.s and Updated Service Credits.
Capital Improvements Program (CIP) Summary:
The proposed CIP budget for Fiscal Year 2013 primarily includes projects approved by Missouri City voters in
2003 and 2008 and funded through the issuance of general obligation bonds as authorized in those elections.
Other projects address utility matters such as the construction of the surface water treatment plant to meet State
groundwater reduction mandates or construction of wastewater treatment projects to meet Federal and State
environmental laws and rules. The funding for these utility projects are to be paid by the customers of the
various entities that provide utility services to those residents benefitting from the project.
The CIP program as presented in this proposed budget has budgeted expenditures being made from existing
funds already “on hand” and from “additional” monies from the issuance of $1,400,000 General Obligation
Bonds for drainage projects. The primary considerations in developing the proposed Fiscal Year 2013 CIP
were: (1) complete projects already underway and formerly committed to; (2) fund projects that have a limited
window of opportunity such as leveraging City resources with resources of other agencies; and (3) implement
projects that are time sensitive and widely benefit the City. Some of those projects are:
• Cangelosi Watershed Improvements
• Stafford Run Bank Stabilization
• Sidewalk program
• El Dorado Bridge Replacement
• Street and Road Improvements
• Animal Shelter
Capital and Supplemental Budgets:
No capital or supplemental items or programs are included in the General Fund. Some capital and supplemental
expenditures will be made from special revenue funds that have dedicated revenues for specific purchases that
are established by federal, state or local law and rules. Examples of these special revenues funds are the
Narcotics Seizure Fund, Court Building Security Fund, Court Technology Fund, MCTV Facilities/Equipment
Fund and the Community Development Block Grant Fund.
Thanks to the City Staff and City Council Budget Committee:
The City employees are to be commended for their continued efforts to meet these challenging times. Missouri
City has long had a reputation for effectively and efficiently utilizing the resources available. The City has been
able to document this with actual data for revenues per capita and employees per capita. When “normalizing”
for comparable services, the City ranks at or near the best for such measures on providing top notch city services
with limited resources for similar sized cities in the Houston area, as well as the State. The department heads of
this organization have provided the necessary leadership that has enabled the City to continue providing these
quality services and programs during the economic challenges that have created significant budget constraints
over the last few years. The cooperation and teamwork of all the employees and City Council are greatly
appreciated for the development of this fiscally sound budget.
Sincerely,
Edward A. Broussard
City Manager
