Page 38 - Grapevine FY20 Approved Budget

Expenditures and Other Financing Uses

The FY 2020 adopted budget
for all funds totals $183
million dollars, and
represents an increase of $5.2
million (2.9%) from the prior
year budget. Estimated
expenditures for the current
year (FY19) total $171.9
million and represent a
decrease of $46 million (-
21%) from the FY18 total of
$218 million. The large
decrease is attributed to one-
time transfers of $17 million
from the 4B Economic Development fund to the Capital Projects CIP fund to support the
commuter rail station project; $12 million from the Convention & Visitors Bureau fund to support
the construction of the Grapevine Main Train Station; and $5 million from Utility Enterprise fund
to the Water & Wastewater CIP fund.

Personnel costs are the largest expenditure category, totaling $61 million (33%), and represent an
increase of $2.3 million from the previous budget year. Estimated expenditures for FY19 total $57
and represent an increase of $1.6 million from FY18. Effective October 1, a 3 percent pay plan
adjustment was incorporated into every salary range of every position within the City. In addition,
every full-time and part-time civilian employee will receive up to a 2% merit increase on their
anniversary date. Full-time and part-time public safety employees on the step plan will receive up
to a 5% step increase on their anniversary date.

Services are the second largest expenditure category, totaling $45.8 million (25%), which is an
increase of $1.5 million from the previous budget year. The primary contributors are increased
utility costs and professional service fees rate related to the reopening and operation of the
expanded community activities center. An additional contributor is increased purchase costs
imposed by the Trinity River Authority (TRA) for treated water in Enterprise funds.

Operating Transfers Out represent the third largest expenditure category, totaling $18 million, and
represents an increase of $1.5 million from the previous budget year. The increase is due in large
part to the reinstatement of full-funding of permanent capital and street maintenance from the
General fund, as well as an $830,004 transfer from the General fund to the capital equipment
acquisition fund for the purchase of a fire engine.

Debt Service is the fourth largest expenditure category, totaling $16.8 million, which is 9.2% of
total expenditures. Budgeted expenditures for FY20 decrease by $720,000 as a result of a
restructure and refinancing of existing debt in 2019.

Expenditures for each governmental fund type will be discussed in depth in its respective section
of this document.
