administrative staff dedicated many hours to meetings, giving feedback, and providing information to
finalize this year’s adopted budget. I especially want to recognize Finance Director Jonathon Horton and his

team for their efforts in bringing everything together.

I also want to thank the members of the City Council for the opportunity to serve as your City Manager. Thanks
to everyone’s support and our dedicated employees, we have achieved several important accomplishments this

past year. From repairing our streets to enhancing our parks, City Council leadership and the support of our

citizens will help us continue to make Kennedale one of the most desirable places to live, work, and do business
in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Together, we will keep up with the demands of our growing city while focusing

on delivering exceptional customer service to foster a safe and family-friendly community. I look forward to

managing our great city and serving our citizens in the new fiscal year, and I respectfully submit this budget
for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Darrell Hull
City Manager
