Capital Improvement Program
The FY 25 capital improvement budget is $22.4 million, which includes $13.7 million for general government
projects, $6.4 million for water and sewer, and $2.3 million for drainage projects. These projects are primarily
funded through excess operational funds and grants, in keeping with the City's philosophy of "pay as you go."

Adopted Budget Consistency
There were no changes between the proposed and adopted budgets for FY 25. This consistency re ects our
shared commitment to careful planning, scal responsibility, and ensuring that the City's strategic goals are
met without requiring further adjustments during the adoption process.

Future Priorities
Moving forward, the City must address the maintenance of aging facilities and infrastructure, while
balancing in ationary impacts and public safety needs. Additionally, a compensation study will guide
recommendations for FY 26 to ensure the City remains competitive in attracting and retaining staff,
particularly in public safety.

The upcoming bond election for the expansion of the Recreation Center and the expiration of the TIF in 2030
will require careful planning. As the TIF expires, decisions must be made regarding economic development,
parks programs, and future infrastructure funding.

Conclusion
Thank you for your leadership and dedication to making Colleyville a great community. I appreciate the
effort you put into reviewing this budget and ensuring the City remains scally sound while addressing the
needs of our residents. Special thanks go to the management team for their hard work in preparing this
budget. We will continue to address Council priorities and serve our citizens with ef ciency and dedication.

Respectfully submitted,

Jerry Ducay
City Manager
