Performance Measurement/Management - Enhanced measurement and reporting
are critical to gauge progress, effectiveness, determine accountability, and guide
future planning and operations. Communicating these findings and measurements
on an ongoing basis is critical to ensuring the Council and public remain invested in
the initiatives formulated to address current and future community needs.

Personnel Expenditures/Expenses - As approved, the FY 2020-
2021 budget reflects changes to personnel expenditures and benefits.
The fiscal impact of the above referenced salary changes will be felt
across all funds, as well as increases of 5% to healthcare expenses.
However, with our conservative approach to spending and limited
decision packages, we are confident we will end the budget year with
a favorable fund balance.

Cares Act Relief Funds – Congress approved payments to State, Local, and Tribal
governments faced with the impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic in the Spring of 2020.
The City received $2,350,150 from Tarrant County for their portion of funds which
were funneled from the state level. The funds can only be spent on approved items
that help mitigate the disease or aid in the public health emergency. The details of
the budgeted spends are submitted to the County in a monthly report from March-
December 2020. Budget line items were added to track the spends of related items
which will be offset by the one-time revenue received.
