Consideration of and action on the results of the public hearing and an ordinance adopting the FY 2024-2025 Crime Control and Prevention District Budget.
Body
Summary:
The Crime Control and Prevention District Act, Chapter 363 of the Texas Local Government Code, prescribes the process for adopting the annual budget for the Crime Control and Prevention District (CCPD). On June 10, 2024, the CCPD Board of Directors conducted a public hearing on the proposed FY 2024-2025 CCPD Budget. On July 9, 2024, the CCPD Board of Directors approved the FY 2024-2025 CCPD Budget and voted to submit the budget to the City Council. The City Council is scheduled to conduct a public hearing on the budget on August 6, 2024 at 7:30 PM. Afterward, during the regular meeting, the City Council will consider action on the budget. This is in accordance with the Crime Control and Prevention District Act which states that not later than the 30th day before the date the fiscal year begins, the governing body (e.g., City Council) shall approve or reject the budget submitted by the Board of Directors. If the City Council rejects the budget submitted by the Board, the City Council and the Board shall meet and together amend and approve the budget before the beginning of the fiscal year, which is October 1, 2024. Attached is the proposed budget for the CCPD, which if adopted, will be included in the FY 2024-2025 City Budget as a "Component Unit." Note: the final Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Budget for the City of Deer Park, which incorporates all funds and component units of the City, is scheduled for adoption on September 17, 2024.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
Adoption of the FY 2024-2025 CCPD Budget is necessary to carry out the programs adopted by the CCPD Board of Directors and funded by the ¼ percent (0.25%) dedicated sales tax approved by the voters.
Recommended action
