Manager’s Message

Conclusion
So what does all of this mean for the average Arlington household in FY 2020?

 Property tax goes up by $6.75 per month
 Water and Sewer rate increases $1.14 per month – rate increase effective January 1, 2020 (the average residence
uses about 7,000/4,000 gallons of water/sewer per month)
 Garbage rate increases $1.07 per month
 Storm Water rate increases 50¢ per month

The average resident will pay $113.53 more per year ($9.46 per month) for City, Water, Sanitation, and Storm Water services.

I want to thank everyone who assisted in the development of this budget. I appreciate the continued dedication to our strong
financial principles and management. Thanks to the City Council for providing clear direction and oversight, and to the Council
and staff for working together to develop programs that advance our priorities. Thanks also to departments who were able to
identify efficiency measures and reductions that allowed us to reallocate resources to our most important priorities.

We respectfully present this budget for consideration by the Mayor and City Council and look forward to finalizing our plan of
work to serve our City’s residents in FY 2020.

Sincerely,

Trey Yelverton
City Manager
