City of Mansfield Annual Budget and Service Program Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Table of Contents

Strategic Plan Highlights

Population

Estimated by the end of 2026: 94,989
Estimated by the end of 2035: 135,706

Expected population increases create the need for housing stock, infrastructure, and retail
development. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, in the decade of 2001 to 2010, the City
added some 30,000 residents, and in the decade of 2011 to 2020, the City added another
16,000 residents. The population growth in the last two decades has been robust. The
expected population increase over the next decade is 44,370 people.

Capital Improvements

General Fund Improvements: $331,630,850
Water & Sewer Utility Fund Improvements: $163,903,000

Most of the General Fund improvements are for the improvement of the City’s street
infrastructure and facilities. General Fund improvements will be funded through the capital
markets. The Water & Sewer Fund’s significant improvements are attributable to the
expansion of the water treatment plant and other infrastructure improvements. The Water
& Sewer Fund improvements will be funded through a combination of the capital markets
and cash. Impact fees are a significant resource used to offset the costs of these future
improvements and will be used as they are collected over the next ten years for both
activities.

Service Improvements & Operating Equipment

General Fund Personnel $ 17,145,053

Management has placed a priority on funding positions for the Public Safety Department in
anticipation of a growing population and the future need for a sixth Fire Station. The Water
& Sewer Fund expects to maintain existing levels of service personnel over the next decade.
Most of the capital equipment is for the replacement and addition to the Public Safety
vehicle inventory. The City will work to fund operating equipment on a year-by-year basis.
Typically, equipment is funded at approximately $3M to $4M per fiscal year.
