ANTI-CRIME HALF CENT SALES TAX

The Anti-Crime Half Cent Sales Tax is in its thirteenth full year as a revenue source and will
provide tax relief to the General Fund by funding expanded crime prevention and
enforcement programs. Overwhelming and continued voter support of the Anti-Crime half
percent sales tax in May 2010 resulted in a twenty-year extension of the program. This tax
is collected primarily from non-resident consumers and is not included in the sharing
agreement with North East Mall. So, the City receives full benefit from the half-cent tax
levied on applicable sales and services. Fiscal year 2020-2021 sales tax revenues are
projected at $4,337,204. Legislation allows the Anti-crime Fund to impose local sales and
use tax on the residential use of gas and electricity. It is estimated that this will generate
an additional $150,000 per year. If this revenue source were not available, the property tax
rate would need to be raised 12.4 cents to fund the 2020-2021 related expenditures.

STORM DRAINAGE UTILITY FUND

The Storm Drainage Utility Fund was implemented during Fiscal Year 2008-2009. This utility
fee is determined by calculating impervious area for properties throughout the City. The fee is
assessed on water bills and will generate funding for drainage projects and unfunded federal
mandates associated with the state required Stormwater Management Plan. The current fee is
$4.00. This category makes up 1% of the citywide budget.

HURST CONFERENCE CENTER

The Hurst Conference Center (HCC) opened in September 2010. The HCC is the focal point of
the Hurst Town Center. HCC is a state-of-the-art facility that is conveniently located in the
heart of the DFW Metroplex. For information on amenities, rates and menu options please visit
