Dear Mayor Lindamood and Members of the City Council:

Transmitted herewith is the City of Colleyville Annual Budget for Fiscal Year 2025/2026 (FY
26). The budget is balanced in accordance with the Colleyville City Charter and laws of the
State of Texas.
The proposed Budget totals approximately $94 .5 million, with $69.3 million approved for
operation and maintenance functions, $23.5 million in capital, and $1.7 million for required
debt service payments. The annual budget is the culmination of the efforts of the entire
staff leadership team. It serves as an important road map for {nancial management within
the {scal year.
The FY 26 budget incorporates priorities set by the Council vision. Those priorities are
peppered throughout the budget in operational and capital funding allotments. The most
notable areas of focus include long-term {scal responsibility, public safety, quality of
services, infrastructure maintenance and beauti{cation, recreation and open space
enhancements, and economic development. These priorities, as well as the priorities
outlined in the City of Colleyville’s Strategic Plan, reaf{rmed annually by the City Council,
guided the development of the FY 26 Budget.
This year, Colleyville was able to fund a compensation study and health insurance increases
while still providing a tax break to our residential homestead property owners. This was
accomplished by increasing the general residential homestead exemption from 7% to 14% .
Notable was the 75% of the compensation study that went directly to fund {rst responder
(police, {re, and public works) personnel. Remaining competitive and attracting quality
team members is a priority in order to maintain exceptional services.
