budget
The City’s annual budget itemizes and appropriates the funds needed for all municipal purposes during the next
fiscal year, and is comprised of two separate budgets - the Operating Budget and the Capital Projects Budget. The
Operating Budget includes the day-to-day operational expenses of the City, such as salaries, supplies, and expenses for
programmatic activities. The Capital Improvements Program includes the anticipated capital project costs for the next
five fiscal years. The first year of projects contained in the CIP become the basis for formulating the Capital Projects
Budget.

and the city’s Planning Process
Comprehensive plans are official public documents adopted by local governments as policy guides
to making decisions about the physical development of the community in the next 20 years. The City
of Southlake’s current comprehensive plans, the Southlake 2030 Plan and the Southlake 2035 Plan,
include a number of citywide plans that prioritize the development of thoroughfares, sidewalks, trails,
and parks.

The Southlake 2035 Park, Recreation and Open Space Master Plan, the Southlake 2030 Mobility Master
Plan, the Southlake 2030 Water Master Plan, and others, provide recommendations that link the future
vision of the community to relatively short-term actions.

Recognizing the importance of the link between the Capital Improvements Program and implementation of the master
plan, projects are required to demonstrate linkage to one of the City’s master plans. By using the Capital Improvements
Program process to reinforce the desired master plan priorities, the City’s physical future can be better shaped.

Additionally, each project sheet and the project matrix identifies, when appropriate, connection to a project identified
in the City’s comprehensive plan.
