Background/Analysis:

A notice of the time and place of the public hearing on the Proposed Budget was
published, at least seven (7) days prior to such hearing, on September 2, 2021, in the
Fort Worth Star Telegram and on the City’s website. The public hearing notice complies
with the City’s Charter and Chapter 102 of the Texas Local Government Code.

Following the public hearing on September 14, 2021, Council will be asked to consider
approval of the Proposed Budget Ordinance. Second reading of the ordinance is
scheduled for September 28, 2021

After the budget workshop on August 13, 2021, staff incorporated changes that were
discussed by the Council and are reflected in the Fiscal Year 2022 Proposed Budget.

Funding and Sources and Community Sustainability

The Fiscal Year 2022 Proposed Budget is funded primarily through property and sales
taxes. The Council will hold a public hearing on the tax rate to fund the Proposed
Budget. The hearings demonstrate our community values of stewardship,
inclusiveness, and positive environment and allows the public an opportunity to
provide input on the Proposed Budget. Staff has developed a responsible budget based
upon the tenants of the Hurst Way with particular emphasis on financial
sustainability. The Proposed Budget was developed based upon the Council’s
Strategic Priorities and direction provided at the budget workshop held on August 13,
2021.

Recommendation:

To conduct a public hearing on the Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Proposed Budget.
