Budget overview from Town Manager Brandon Wright

Honorable Mayor, Members of Town Council, and Citizens of Trophy Club,

It is with great pride that I present the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 Budget for the Town
of Trophy Club. This budget underscores our continued commitment to fiscal
responsibility, community investment, and thoughtful planning to ensure Trophy
Club remains one of the most desirable communities in North Texas. Developed

in alignment with the Town Council’s strategic vision and the FY 2026 Business
Plan, this budget addresses critical infrastructure needs, enhances public safety,
and sustains the high quality of life our residents have come to expect.

Key Accomplishments and Highlights

Capital Improvement Program (CIP): The six-year CIP includes $23.8 million in

replacement and maintenance dollars to address critical infrastructure projects,
ensuring that Trophy Club remains well-maintained and prepared for future
growth.

Trophy Club Pay Plan Policy: The FY 2026 Proposed Budget continues the pay
plan policy as approved by the Town Council in FY 2024. This plan ensures
competitive compensation for Town employees, helping to attract and retain top

talent to provide exceptional services to the community.

Alignment with Council Goals: This budget aligns with the Town Council's

goals and priorities in the FY 2026 Business Plan. It reflects focus and dedication
to addressing the priorities set by the Town Council, ensuring that staff meet
community expectations.

Enhanced Community Events: To enrich community gatherings and seasonal
celebrations, Christmas in the Park has been renamed Winter Wonderlights
following the successful addition of a drone show last year. Additionally, Taste of

Trophy Club will evolve into a new, broader event known as the Harvest Festival,
offering residents and visitors an expanded experience that celebrates the spirit
of the season.
