The above graph indicates that the largest expenditures for the General Fund are for
Public Safety, Police and Fire protection. This is primarily due to the number of employees
required to maintain the current level of public safety service to Hurst citizens. The
Police and Fire Departments have a combined full-time equivalent employee count of
151 (93.5 Police and 57.5 Fire) while the remaining General Fund operations account
for 139.88 full-time equivalent employees. Significant expenditures for all departments,
especially Public Works and Community Services, include personnel, “Pay-As-You-Go”
for infrastructure improvements, and new and replacement equipment. Pay-as-you-go
projects reduce the need to issue debt thus reducing the pressure on our I&S tax rate.
