The Community Development Department performs planning and zoning, community development, and inspections for the City of Benbrook.
The Assistant City Manager, as the Community Development Director, works with the Chamber of Commerce and the Economic Development
Corporation to coordinate economic development and to attract new business investment to Benbrook. The City Planner and the Assistant City
Planner coordinate planning and zoning projects, assist developers, and provide administrative support to the Assistant City Manager and

The Functional Summary page provides financial information for the Community Development department on an actual basis for 2018-19; on
an adopted budget and twelve-month estimate basis for 2019-20; and on a department request, decision package, total request, and adopted
budget basis for 2020-21.

The Community Development function's total 2020-21 Budget is $889,518. This allocation is the same amount asked for by the Assistant City
Manager in the 2020-21 total request of $889,518. This total request includes $889,518 for base budget expenditures and no decision
packages.

A decision package is defined as any change in program emphasis, expenditure of funds, and/or allocation of personnel or equipment which
results in an increase or decrease in the current level of services. A decision package is used to: add a new program, delete an existing
program or function and replace it with a new or different function or program, request expenditures that exceed the total appropriation for
the previous year's (2019-20) budget, request additional compensation for an employee or job classification, request an adjustment to the
City's Compensation Plan, and/or request funds for a new capital outlay.

The Functional Reconciliation and Decision Package Summary provides a reconciliation of all changes made from the total request to the adopted
budget. This summary also provides a list of all decision packages requested for Community Development department. The list of decision
packages categorizes the decision packages as funded or not-funded and provides the allocation amount approved for each funded package.
