Title
Acceptance of the proposed Fiscal Year 2026-2027 CCPD Budget submitted by the Deer Park Police Department.
Body
Summary:
The Deer Park Police Department has prepared a proposed budget for the Crime Control and Prevention District (CCPD) for Fiscal Year 2026-2027. Under a separate agenda item, the Board will be asked to schedule a public hearing on the proposed budget on June 15, 2026 at 5:00 PM.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
Revenues: the proposed Fiscal Year 2026-2027 Budget includes total revenues of $2,186,746. Sales tax revenues of $2,150,000 represent an 7.5% increase from the current budget and is approximately 17% less than the revenue received in the most recently completed fiscal year 2024-2025. The estimate for the current fiscal year is 7% less than the actual collections received in the prior fiscal year. FY 2024-2025 was the highest earning collection year for the district and although collections have remained strong over the last four years, conservative estimates for the upcoming fiscal year in comparison to FY 2024-2025 are prudent. To balance the proposed 2026-2027 budget, an additional $31,746 from prior year revenue is needed to fund operations.
Expenditures: the proposed Fiscal Year 2026-2027 budget includes total expenditures of $2,186,746. This amount includes $1,792,435 of operating expenditures and $394,311 of capital outlay. Operating expenditures include salaries and benefits for a total of nine positions funded by the District, software, and grounds maintenance at the firing range. Capital expenditures include the purchase of five new patrol vehicles, a detective vehicle, and the equipment needed to outfit the new units.
This is not the final budget document, since additional information may become available prior to the vote by the Board of Directors to approve the FY 2026-2027 Budget on July 6, 2026.
