THERE.

OH, THAT'S YOUR AND A SECOND FROM KEVIN NEVILLES.

ALL IN FAVOR, WALKER HINO SMITH.

[4. 2026-0242 Introduction and History]

WELL, GOOD EVENING, MEMBERS OF THE CCPD BOARD, AND MY NAME IS JESSICA MEN AL MENEZ AND MY BUDGET MANAGER IN STRATEGIC FINANCIAL ENGAGEMENT.

AND THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT TO YOU THE FISCAL YEAR 27 PROPOSED BUDGET FOR THE CRIME CONTROL AND PREVENTION DISTRICT.

THE CCPD IS A SPECIAL PURPOSE DISTRICT, AND LET ME ADVANCE THE SLIDE.

DESIGNED TO SUPPORT COMMUNITY FOCUSED CRIME PREVENTION EFFORTS.

THE DISTRICT IS FUNDED BY A QUARTER CENT SALES TAX IN ALL REVENUES MUST BE USED EXCLUSIVELY FOR CRIME PREVENTION PROGRAMS AND SERVICES.

THE CRIME CONTROL AND PREVENTION DISTRICT IS CREATED AND AUTHORIZED ONLY IF THE DISTRICT AND SALES TAX ARE APPROVED BY A MAJORITY OF THE QUALIFIED VOTERS, AND IT IS CONSIDERED A SEPARATE LEGAL ENTITY.

THE DISTRICT IS ALSO GOVERNED BY A BOARD OF SEVEN MEMBERS, WHICH IS CURRENTLY THE VOTING MEMBERS OF THE COPPEL CITY COUNCIL.

THE BOARD IS REQUIRED TO PROPOSE A BUDGET, HOLD THE PUBLIC HEARING, AND ADOPT THE PROPOSED BUDGET THAT IS THEN PRESENTED TO THE GOVERNING BODY, THE COPPEL CITY COUNCIL.

A-C-C-P-D IS BEING ACCOUNTED FOR AS A SPECIAL REVENUE FUND IN THE FINANCIAL RECORDS OF THE CITY.

A SPECIAL REVENUE FUND IS ONE THAT IS USED TO ACCOUNT FOR AND REPORT THE PROCEEDS OF, OF A SPECIFIC REVENUE SOURCE.

THE QUARTER AND SALES TAX, UH, THAT IS USED FOR REVENUE IN THIS FUND IS RESTRICTED OR COMMITTED FOR EXPENDITURES FOR A SPECIFIC PURPOSE.

NOW LET'S DIVE INTO THE HISTORY OF CCPD.

IT WAS ESTABLISHED BY VOTER APPROVAL IN NOVEMBER OF 2007 WITH COLLECTIONS BEGINNING IN APRIL OF 2008, RE REAUTHORIZED IN 2013 FOR 10 YEARS EXPIRING IN APRIL OF 2023.

MOST RECENTLY, VOTERS AUTHORIZED THE DISTRICT IN NOVEMBER OF 2022 FOR ANOTHER 10 YEAR TERM, EXTENDING IT TO APRIL OF 2033.

THE NEXT REAUTHORIZATION VOTE MUST HAPPEN ON OR BEFORE, UH, NOVEMBER OF 2032.

THIS CONCLUDES THE BRIEF REVIEW OF THE HISTORY OF COP HILL CRIME CONTROL AND PREVENTION DISTRICT.

THANK YOU, MS. EZ.

IS ITEM FIVE, REVIEW OF THE CRIME CONTROL AND PREVENTION DISTRICT BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026.

UM, THE NEXT ITEM

[5. 2026-0243 Review of the Crime Control and Prevention District budget for FY 2026-2027.]

2027.

AS WE REVIEW THE BUDGET THIS EVENING, THE FOCUS REMAINS THE SAME, MAKING THE BEST USE OF AVAILABLE RESOURCES TO PROVIDE EFFECTIVE PUBLIC SAFETY SERVICES, WHILE CONTINUING TO BE A STRONG PARTNER IN THE OVERALL WELLBEING OF THE COMMUNITY.

BEFORE WE BEGIN REVIEWING THE NUMBERS, IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THE PURPOSE OF THE CRIME CONTROL AND PREVENTION DISTRICT.

BEYOND THE LEGISLATIVE AND PROCEDURAL, PUBLIC SAFETY IS ONE OF THE COMMUNITY'S HIGHEST PRIORITIES, BUT AS THE CHIEF HAS SHARED, COMMUNITIES KEEP COMMUNITIES SAFE, AND IT IS ABOUT MORE THAN POLICE SERVICES ALONE.

SAFE COMMUNITIES ARE ALSO SUPPORTED BY STRONG NEIGHBORHOODS, QUALITY PARKS, WELL MAINTAINED STREETS, EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES, ARTS AND CULTURE PROGRAMS, AND PLACES THAT BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER.

THE CRIME CONTROL AND PREVENTION DISTRICT PLAYS A CRITICAL ROLE IN THAT EFFORT BY PROVIDING RESOURCES THAT HELP THE KEEP THE COMMUNITY SAFE, PREVENT CRIME, AND STRENGTHEN PARTNERSHIPS THROUGHOUT CAPEL.

THE PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR 27 BUDGET CONTINUES THAT MISSION BY INVESTING IN THE CITY'S OFFICERS MAINTAINING CRITICAL PUBLIC SAFETY INFRASTRUCTURE, AND ENSURING FULL COVERAGE BY SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS ON EVERY CAMPUS FOR THE FIRST TIME.

[00:05:13]

NOW, LET'S DIVE INTO THE REVENUES, THE CRIME CONTROL AND PREVENTION DISTRICT'S.

TOTAL REVENUES ARE PROJECTED TO BE APPROXIMATELY 5.2 MILLION IN FISCAL YEAR 27.

THE PROPOSED BUDGET ASSUMES A 3% INCREASE IN SALES TAX REVENUE COMPARED TO FISCAL YEAR 26.

ADOPTED BUDGET SALES TAX REMAINS THE FUND'S PRIMARY REVENUE SOURCE GENERATING AN ESTIMATED 4.2 MILLION, WHICH REPRESENTS APPROXIMATELY 81.9% OF THE TOTAL REVENUES.

THE REMAINING REVENUES DERIVED FROM OTHER SOURCES, INCLUDING A BUDGETED 794,550 IN SALARY REIMBURSEMENTS FROM THE COPPEL ISD FOR SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS, THIS REPRESENTS 15.3% OF THE TOTAL REVENUES.

LASTLY, REVENUES INCLUDE A BUDGETED INTEREST EARNINGS OF 150,000.

THIS ACCOUNTS FOR APPROXIMATELY 2.9% OF TOTAL REVENUES.

INTEREST REVENUE REFLECTS AN ANTICIPATED MARKET BASED RETURNS ON INVESTED FUND BALANCES.

NOW, LET'S REVIEW EXPENDITURES.

THE TOTAL CRIME CONTROL AND PREVENTION DISTRICT EXPENDITURES ARE PROJECTED TO BE APPROXIMATELY 6.38 MILLION IN FISCAL YEAR 27.

SALARY AND BENEFITS TOTAL ABOUT 2.28 MILLION.

THIS REPRESENTS 35.8% OF THE BUDGET.

THIS FUNDS 15 POSITIONS, WHICH INCLUDE THE SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS IN ONE TIME, ONE SWORN POSITION OR NON-SWORN POSITION, I'M SORRY, AN ADMINISTRATIVE COMPLIANCE OFFICER.

SUPPLIES IS BUDGETED, UH, AT ABOUT 181,000 OR 2.8% OF TOTAL EXPENDITURES.

MAJOR COSTS INCLUDE UNIFORMS, THE LEASE OF A LICENSE PLACE, LICENSE PLATE RECOGNITION, LPR CAMERAS AND UPGRADES TO THE AUTOMATIC LICENSE PLATE READER, A LPR CAMERAS AND SOFTWARE SERVICES.

TOTAL, APPROXIMATELY 2.5 MILLION.

THIS REPRESENTS 38.6% OF THE BUDGET AND SERVING AS A LARGEST EXPENDITURE CATEGORY.

THE LARGEST COMPONENT OF SERVICES CATEGORY IS THE PAYMENT TO THE NORTH TEXAS EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION CENTER AND TECH FOR DISPATCH SERVICES.

COPPELS, FISCAL YEAR 27 PAYMENT IS APPROXIMATELY 1.61 MILLION FOR OPERATIONS IN ADDITION TO A FIRST TIME CONTRIBUTION OF 685,147, REPRESENTING THE CITY'S FIRST YEAR SHARE OF A SIX YEAR INVESTMENT IN THE N TECH RADIO SYSTEM REPLACEMENT PROJECT.

OF THAT AMOUNT, 385,147 WILL BE BUDGETED IN THE CCPD BUDGET WHILE 300,000 WILL BE FUNDED FROM THE E 9 1 1 FUND.

ALSO INCLUDED IN SERVICES IS A CONTINUING CONTRACT WITH THE CITY OF GRAPEVINE FOR JAIL SERVICES.

SERVICES ALSO INCLUDE AN ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES REIMBURSEMENT TO THE GENERAL FUND BASED ON THE CITY'S COST ALLOCATION STUDY.

THIS REIMBURSEMENT RECOVERS THE COST OF SUPPORT SERVICES PROVIDED TO THE CCPD FROM THE GENERAL FUND CAPITAL EXPENDITURES, TOTAL ABOUT 1.28 MILLION FOR THE ONE TIME EXPENSE REPLACEMENT OF THE PORTABLE, UH, MOBILE RADIO EQUIPMENT WHILE TRANSFERS TOTAL 175,000 APPROXIMATELY, OR 2.76% OF THE BUDGET EXPENDITURES.

THIS ANNUAL TRANSFER IS FOR THE CAPITAL REP, UH, TO THE CAPITAL REPLACEMENT FUND, UH, WHICH SETS ASIDE A FUTURE REPLACEMENT OF POLICE VEHICLES.

INPUT AND HELP SHAPE THE DISTRICT'S FUNDING PRIORITIES FOR THE COMING YEAR.

NEXT, WE WILL COVER THE, UH, FUND BALANCE WALK FORWARD.

THE FUND BALANCE WALK FORWARD IS PRESENTED BEGINNING WITH FISCAL YEAR 25 ACTUALS.

THIS WALK, WALK FORWARD INDICATES THAT FOR FISCAL YEAR 27, THE ENDING FUND BALANCE IS PROJECTED TO BE 19.2 MILLION.

IN SUMMARY, THE PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR 27 CRIME CONTROL AND PREVENTION DISTRICT BUDGET INCLUDES 5.2 MILLION IN REVENUES AND, UH, 6.38 MILLION IN EXPENDITURES WITH A PLAN, STRATEGIC USE OF FUND BALANCE TOTALING 1,177,480.

THIS EVENING, WE ARE SEEKING THE BOARD'S DIRECTION ON THE PROPOSED BUDGET, SPECIFICALLY WHETHER YOU WOULD LIKE TO LEAVE OR EXCLUDE THE COPPEL ISD SALARY REIMBURSEMENT OF 794,550 FROM THE PROPOSED BUDGET.

AND WE ARE ALSO SEEKING ANY PRIORITIES OR INIT INITIATIVES YOU WOULD LIKE STAFF TO CONSIDER FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 27 BUDGET.

THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE

[00:10:01]

IN ADDITION TO THE CCPD BOARD HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO HOLD THE PUBLIC HEARING AND VOTE TO ADOPT THE FISCAL YEAR 27 PROPOSED CCPD BUDGET.

THIS CONCLUDES THE PRESENTATION OF THE PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR 27 CCPD PRE, UH, PREVENTION DISTRICT'S BUDGET.

AT THIS TIME, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS QUESTION.

COUNCIL MEMBER NEVILLES, AM I COUNCIL MEMBER IN THIS FORUM? I DON'T KNOW.

MEMBER BOARD MEMBER BOARD MEMBER.

BOARD MEMBER NEVILLES.

UH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT.

UM, THAT, THAT WALKTHROUGH OF, OF THE FUND, UM, HAD A QUESTION ABOUT, UM, THE PROPOSED, EXCUSE ME, THE PROPOSED REVENUES ON THE SALES TAX.

YES, SIR.

UM, I, UH, IF YOU COULD REMIND ME, UH, REMIND US, I KNOW THAT WE ARE, UM, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT BUDGETING FOR, YOU KNOW, KIND OF LIKE THE 100% ACTUALS OF SALES TAX THAT WE HAVE RECEIVED OVER THE PAST ABOUT WHAT PERCENTAGE AS THIS IS, LIKE, IF, IF THE RULE WERE, UH, YOU KNOW, LIKE WE'RE NOT IN EFFECT.

DO YOU KNOW ABOUT WHAT THE PERCENTAGE IS? UH, THAT THIS HAS BEEN REDUCED? THE PERCENTAGE IS, UH, ABOUT 45%.

SO IT'S, UH, WE ARE IN THE, THE EXCESS, UM, OF THAT WOULD GO INTO FUND BALANCE, BUT ABOUT THE PERCENTAGE, ABOUT 45%.

SO IT'S SAFE TO SAY IF WE GO THROUGH ANOTHER YEAR WHERE THERE'S NO LEGISLATIVE ACTION OR LAWSUIT THINGS, SO WE, WE WOULD SEE THOSE SALES TAX REVENUES BE HIGHER.

IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S CORRECT.

JUST MAKING SURE THAT I, I FULLY UNDERSTAND THE SCOPE OF WHAT THE REVENUES COULD BE.

IF THINGS KIND OF KEEP GOING THE WAY THEY'RE GOING AND WE DON'T HAVE, UH, THAT, THAT EFFECT ON THAT.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

BOARD MEMBER PRIM KUMAR.

UM, FOLLOW UP ON A QUESTION THAT COMES FROM BOARD MEMBER NEVILLES ASKED, UH, SO I, I SEE FOR 24 25, THE ACTUAL REVENUE IS AT 7,085,621.

IS THAT THE 45%, UH, NUMBER OR IS THAT THE FULL A HUNDRED PERCENT NUMBER? LET'S SEE.

I'M SO SORRY.

CAN YOU REPEAT YOUR QUESTION? UH, THE FIRST COLUMN, ACTUAL 2024 TO 2025, THAT REVENUE NUMBER SHOWS 7,085,621, CORRECT? IS THAT THE FULL, I I DON'T THINK IT'S THE FULL, UH, SALES TAX REVENUE.

SO THAT, IS THAT THE 45%? SO THAT IS GONNA BE, SO THAT ACTUALS NUMBER WILL INCLUDE, UM, A FULL SALES TAX AND THAT, SO ANYTIME WE SEE THE ACTUALS COLUMN WOULD BE WHAT WE ARE ACTUALLY RECEIVING.

ALRIGHT.

SO THE REASON, UM, WE HAVE, WE ARE SHOWING 5 MILLION 2 0 5 FOR 26 27 IS BECAUSE WE ARE USING AN, UH, SMALLER, UH, PORTION OF THE ACTUAL NO, THAT'S, WE, SO WE ARE, LET'S SEE, JESSICA, WHY DON'T YOU GO BACK TO THE REVENUE.

BECAUSE THE REVENUES WILL SHOW HIM WHAT WE, SO WE ARE SHOWING HERE THE, THE REVENUE PORTION AND I'M SORRY.

SORRY, CAN YOU REPEAT YOUR QUESTION ONE MORE TIME? UH, LEMME THINK THROUGH AND MAKE SURE, LET ME THINK THROUGH AND MAKE SURE MY QUESTION IS CORRECT.

IF YOU COULD CLARIFY, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

SO I'M FOLLOWING UP ON THE POINT THAT BOARD MEMBER NES MADE MM-HMM .

UM, SO FOR 24, 25, YOU HAVE THE, UH, REVENUE NUMBER OF SEVEN MILLIONS AND CHANGE.

MY QUESTION IS, IS THAT THE 45%, UH, OF THE ACTUAL SALES REVENUE? OR IS THE TOTAL SALES REVENUE, IF YOU WANNA YEAH.

SO THE, THE 7 MILLION ACTUAL REVENUE IS THE FULL ACTUAL AMOUNT THAT WE WERE, THAT WE COLLECTED IN SALES TAX.

SO BECAUSE THE RULE WASN'T IN EFFECT MM-HMM .

WE COLLECTED ALL OF IT.

RATHER THAN THE REDUCED AMOUNT.

UM, IF YOU GO TO THE, UM, THE FUND BALANCE SLIDE, SO I THINK IF WHAT YOU'RE, IF YOU'RE TRYING TO COMPARE THE 7 MILLION TO THE 5.2 MM-HMM .

WHAT IS, WHAT IS NOT IN THE, UM, PARTICULARLY THE 4.2 FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 26, IS WE DID NOT BUDGET TO, UM, ASK THE SCHOOL DISTRICT TO REIMBURSE FOR THE SROS MM-HMM .

SO THAT IS REALLY GONNA BE WHAT YOUR KIND OF, WHAT YOUR DIFFERENCE IS.

PLUS THE INCREASE IN SALES TAX THAT WE'RE EXPECTING FROM JUST GROWTH.

GROWTH.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I GOT ONE.

BOARD MEMBER, CAROL.

LET ME CLARIFY WHERE I GOT THE 8 MILLION SERVICES IS A MILLION AND A HALF MORE THAN BUDGETED AND CAPITAL OUTLAY IS SIX AND A HALF MORE THAN CORRECT.

UM, AGAIN, THE $8 MILLION THAT WE ARE AMENDING THE BUDGET TO THE $8 MILLION IN ADDITIONAL EXPENSES, AGAIN, WHAT, WHAT DO THE, WHAT DOES THAT COVER AND WHY DID WE NOT AMEND IT? I MEAN, WHY DID WE NOT BUDGET FOR IT ORIGINALLY? I GUESS THAT'S MY OTHER QUESTION.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? YES.

IN THE 8 MILLION,

[00:15:01]

SO THAT 8 MILLION IS ACTUALLY AN ENCUMBRANCE CARRY FORWARD, UH, FOR EXPENSES FOR THE JUSTICE CENTER IN ENTECH.

SO, UH, OKAY.

IN THAT IS, SO THEY WERE BUDGETED THE PREVIOUS YEAR.

THEY WERE, UM, ITEMS THAT WERE BUDGETED IN PRIOR YEARS, IF NOT TYPICALLY, UH, THE JUSTICE CENTER, FOR EXAMPLE, IS PART OF AN ASSIGNED FUND BALANCE.

SO THEN THE, WE WOULD AMEND THE BUDGET FOR THAT AMOUNT.

AND, UH, COULD, COULD INTO IN THAT FORMAT.

SO THE JUSTICE CENTER HADN'T BEEN APPROVED AT THE TIME THAT WE DID THE BUDGET.

THAT'S THE ENCUMBRANCE CARRYOVER.

IF YOU AS ADDITIONAL SALARY, WELL, THAT 8 MILLION YOU DID APPROVE IT THROUGH MM-HMM .

YOU, YOU, WE BROUGHT, BUT WE DIDN THE JUSTICE CENTER TO COUNCIL.

YOU APPROVED IT, WE AMENDED THE BUDGET AND CREATED THE PO.

THE REASON YOU'RE SEEING THE 8 MILLION, UH, INCREASE BETWEEN THE 4 MILLION BUDGETED MM-HMM.

AND THE AMENDED AT 12 MILLION IS BECAUSE THAT, THAT PROJECT'S NOT DONE.

SO THE PO IS STILL OUTSTANDING.

SO WE HAVE TO BRING THE PO OVER AND WE BRING THE RELATED BUDGET OVER.

THAT EVERY, EVERY FIRST AMENDMENT THAT WE BRING IS RELATED TO THAT.

LET ME BACK UP ONE STATEMENT.

WHEN DID WE BUDGET FOR THE JUSTICE CENTER? UM, SO WHAT WE, WHAT WE DID IS SIGN, WE PUT IT IN A SIGNED FUND BALANCE MM-HMM .

BECAUSE WE WEREN'T SURE WHEN THE JUSTICE CENTER, WHEN THAT PROJECT WAS GONNA TAKE PLACE.

AND THEN WHEN WE BROUGHT IT FORWARD AND WE BROUGHT IT FORWARD LAST FISCAL YEAR, CHIEF, IS THAT WHAT YOU, LAST FISCAL YEAR? WE BROUGHT IT FORWARD AND PART OF THAT WAS WE'RE TAKING THIS FROM THE FUND BALANCE OF CCPD AND IT'LL BE INCLUDED IN A FUTURE BUDGET AMENDMENT.

AND THEN WE WOULD'VE AMENDED THE BUDGET IN 25 AND THEN, AND SO, AND WE'LL AMEND IT AGAIN FOR THE ENCUMBRANCE CARRYOVER.

SO THE, UH, OKAY, SO THE 8 MILLION IS ESSENTIALLY THE JUSTICE YOU SAID? THE JUSTICE CENTER AND WHAT WAS THE OTHER? OH, AND, AND TECH.

THAT'S WHAT THE ADDITIONAL WAS.

ACTUALLY, I HAD A QUESTION AS WELL, OR DID ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? NO, UM, JUST FOR CLARIFICATION, 'CAUSE I DON'T HAVE THAT IN FRONT OF ME, SO THANK YOU FOR PUTTING THAT UP.

BUT, UM, SO CAN YOU TELL ME AGAIN WHAT, UM, THE NUMBER IS FOR THE SROS? CORRECT.

SO IN, IN TOTAL ST COUNT, THAT'S THE SALARY.

THAT'S THE SALARY.

SALARY AMOUNT.

YEAH, THE SALARY AMOUNT.

UM, IT IS, I THINK THAT'S A 7.1 SECOND THAT A, SO TOTAL SALARY AND BENEFITS FOR FISCAL YEAR 27 WOULD BE 2.28? UH, EIGHT NINE.

ABOUT 2.289 MILLION.

AND SO THAT'S FOR 15, UH, FTE COUNT.

YEAH.

UM, BOARD MEMBER NEVILLES.

UH, THANK YOU MADAM PRESIDENT.

UH, SO, UH, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.

UH, SO ONE, UM, I GUESS AVERAGE COST FOR ONE SRO AT ONE OF THE CAMPUSES, DO YOU HAVE THAT NUMBER BROKEN OUT INDIVIDUALLY? I, I UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE THE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S, UH, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A COUPLE OF, OF NON UNIFORMED, UH, YOU KNOW, THERE'S A NON-UNIFORM FTE IN THERE.

DO YOU HAVE THAT, UH, THAT COST FOR ONE? WE DO.

SO ONE FOR SALARY AND BENEFITS, IT'S ABOUT 125,000 FOR ONE SRO.

PERFECT.

AND, AND I APPRECIATE THAT.

I, I ACTUALLY HAD A CITIZEN ASK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHAT THE COST WAS FOR A, UM, YOU KNOW, FOR A AN SRO AT A CAMPUS.

SO I APPRECIATE YOU PROVIDING THAT NUMBER.

UM, SORRY, WHAT WAS THAT NUMBER AGAIN? 125,000 OKAY.

IS WHAT WAS REPORTED.

UM, AND, AND, UH, I, I KNOW THERE WAS A, UH, A QUESTION ABOUT, UH, IF WE WANTED TO, UM, REMOVE THE, UH, THE, THE SALARY REIMBURSEMENT FROM COPPEL ISD ON THAT, UH, SO WOULD IT BE APPROPRIATE, UM, WHEN WE MOVE TO ACCEPT THIS DOCUMENT THAT WE WOULD ACCEPT THE PROPOSED DOCUMENT OR THE PROPOSED BUDGET, UH, MINUS THE, UH, MINUS THE SALARY REIMBURSEMENT, UH, FROM COPPEL ISD? IS THAT, WOULD, WOULD THAT BE THE BEST WAY TO PHRASE THAT? THAT'S CORRECT.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO STATE IT IN THE LANGUAGE.

WE, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO REMOVE THAT AMOUNT FROM THERE.

PERFECT.

I JUST WANNA BE VERY CLEAR THAT IF WE DO DECIDE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT, THAT WE UNDERSTOOD THE LANGUAGE WE NEED TO USE.

SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT.

NO PROBLEM.

THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFICATION.

'CAUSE THAT WAS GONNA BE MY QUESTION.

IT SOUNDED LIKE WE HAD AN ACTION ITEM AND SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ADDRESS THAT.

UM, I DID HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION BEFORE ANY, 'CAUSE I GUESS YOU'LL NEED A MOTION, RIGHT? THAT'S CORRECT.

ON THE RIGHT ITEM YET.

OH, OKAY.

OKAY, OKAY.

AND THEN I GUESS HERE'S MY OTHER QUESTION IS CAN YOU REMIND ME, UM, ALSO JUST THE AMOUNT FOR OUR, THE AGREEMENT THAT WE HAVE WITH GRAPEVINE FOR THE JAIL? YES.

THAT IS ONE SECOND.

123,000.

AND THAT'S ANNUAL? THAT'S CORRECT.

DO WE HAVE A, UM, WHAT'S OUR CURRENT AGREEMENT WITH THEM FOR HOW MANY YEARS? I'M

[00:20:01]

JUST CURIOUS.

I DON'T HAVE THAT SPECIFIC DATA POINT WITH YOU, BUT I CAN DEFINITELY FOLLOW UP WITH THAT INFORMATION.

UM, ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM? NO.

AND YOU DON'T NEED AN ACTION ITEM ON THIS ONE? WE CAN OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE NEXT ONE.

ACTION.

NEXT WE WILL BE COVERING, UH, MS. UH, TIAN WILL BE COVERING THE CALENDAR AND THEN ALSO SHE WILL, UH, WILL AFTER THAT FACT, SHE WOULD PROVIDE THAT INFORMATION FOR THE NEXT STEPS FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING.

THANK YOU MS. EZ.

YEAH, NO PROBLEM.

UM, SO I'LL GO TO ITEM SIX THEN.

ALRIGHT, PERFECT.

HEARING ON FISCAL YEAR 20 26, 20 27, PROPOSED BUDGET FOR THE CRIME CONTROLLED AND PREVENTION DISTRICT.

SO ITEM SIX IS A PUBLIC

[6. 2026-0246 PUBLIC HEARING: A public hearing on the FY 2026-2027 Proposed Budget for the Crime Control and Prevention District.]

PERSONS WISHING TO SPEAK DURING THE PUBLIC HEARING.

MUST SIGN THE REGISTER AND LIST THEIR ADDRESS.

YOU'LL BE CALLED TO SPEAK IN THE ORDER YOU HAVE REGISTERED PUBLIC HEARINGS ARE LIMITED TO FIVE MINUTES PER SPEAKER.

UM, I WILL NOW OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR ANYONE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK.

DO WE HAVE ANYONE LISTED? NOPE.

WE DO NOT.

UM, DO WE HAVE MS. TIAN, DO YOU PRESENT ANYTHING ON THIS ITEM? NO.

THEN I WILL CALL FOR A MOTION AND A SECOND TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE FISCAL YEAR 20 26, 20 27, CRIME CONTROL AND PREVENTION DISTRICT BUDGET, PROVIDING FOR ADMINISTRATIVE ADJUSTMENTS AND PROVIDING FOR AMENDMENTS AND ADOPTION BY THE CAPELLA CITY COUNCIL.

I HAVE A MOTION FROM BOARD MEMBER NEVILLES.

AND THEN I HAVE A SECOND FROM BOARD MEMBER PRIM KAMAR.

ALL IN FAVOR? THIS IS CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.

GEEZ.

WALKER HINA, HOSA SMITH.

[7. 2026-0247 Consider approval of a resolution approving the FY 2026-2027 Crime Control and Prevention District budget, providing for administrative adjustments, and providing for amendments and adoption by the Copell City Council.]

MS. IAN.

UH, CRIME CONTROL AND PREVENTION DISTRICT BOARD MEMBERS.

UH, MS. ALMOND, OUR BUDGET MANAGER, PRESENTED THE PROPOSED FISCAL YEAR 26 27 CRIME CONTROL AND PREVENTION DISTRICT, UH, BUDGET.

AND THE BOARD HELD THE REQUIRED PUBLIC HEARING THE ACTION BEFORE YOU IS APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION, ADOPTING THE BUDGET AND SUBMITTING IT TO THE CITY COUNCIL FOR CONSIDERATION AND ADOPTION.

THIS RESOLUTION ALSO FORMALIZES HOW THE CRIME CONTROL AND PREVENTION DISTRICT BUDGET MAY BE MANAGED AFTER THE CITY COUNCIL ADOPTION.

IT ALLOWS THE CITY COUNCIL OR THE CITY MANAGER, OR SOMEONE THE CITY MANAGER ASSIGNS TO MOVE MONEY BETWEEN ACCOUNTS WITHIN THE APPROVED CRIME CONTROL AND PREVENTION DISTRICT BUDGET.

AS LONG AS THE TOTAL BUDGET DOES NOT INCREASE.

THIS ONLY APPLIES TO THE MONEY THAT HAS NOT ALREADY BEEN COMMITTED OR SPENT, UM, THROUGH A PURCHASE ORDER.

THIS IS THE SAME WAY THE CITY NORMALLY MANAGES ITS BUDGET AND IS CONSISTENT WITH SECTION SECTION 7.04 OF THE CAPEL CITY COUNT CITY CHARTER.

THE RESOLUTION DOES NOT CHANGE WHAT THE, UH, CRIME CONTROL AND PREVENTION DISTRICT FUNDS ARE USED FOR, UH, IF THE, THE DISTRICT'S BUDGET NEEDS TO BE CHANGED AFTER THE ADOPTION.

FOR EXAMPLE, IF, UH, THE INCREASE IN THE ENCUMBRANCES THAT WE TALKED ABOUT THIS EVENING, UM, THAT THAT CARRYOVER, THAT CHANGE NEEDS TO COME TO COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL.

UM, AND THE CITY COUNCIL, UH, THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD ARE THE SAME AS THE VOTING MEMBERS OF COUNCIL.

SO THE, THIS RESOLUTION ALSO RATIFIES THE FISCAL YEAR 25, 26, ACTUAL EXPENDITURES AS LAWFUL EXPENDITURES AND DEEMS THE BUDGET AMENDED.

THEN IN JULY, UH, YOUR ROLE AS COUNSEL, YOU WILL CONSIDER ADOPTING AN ORDINANCE OFFICIALLY AMENDING THE VARIOUS FUNDS OF THE, THE CITY, WHICH THE CRIME CONTROL AND PREVENTION DISTRICT IS A FUND.

THAT AMENDMENT WILL INCREASE THE EXPENDITURES OF THIS FUND BY THE $8 MILLION FOR THE ENCUMBRANCE CARRYOVER.

AND THEN ABOUT, UH, RELATED TO THE INTECH AND, UM, THE JUSTICE CENTER, AND THEN ALSO ANOTHER ABOUT $1,400 FOR SOME SALES TAX RECOVERY.

THE CITY, UH, ATTORNEY IS WHO HAS RECOMMENDED THIS RESOLUTION AND ALSO PREPARED IT, AND STAFF RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE RESOLUTION.

AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

MS. TIAN.

DO I HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FROM ANY BOARD MEMBERS? THANK YOU.

BOARD MEMBER CAROL.

UH, THANKS.

UM, SO SECTION TWO, WHICH IS, OH, WAIT, YEAH.

YEAH.

SO BEING ABLE TO MOVE AROUND BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT ACCOUNTS AND EVERYTHING, IS THAT DIFFERENT? IS THAT A DIFFERENT PROCEDURE THAN WHAT WE CURRENTLY DO FOR THIS BUDGET? NO, IT IS WHAT WE DO FOR THIS BUDGET AND WHAT WE DO FOR EVERY FUND OF THE CITY.

ALL THE ACTUAL EXPENSES WHEN WE'RE NOT AT THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR YET? RIGHT.

IT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN PRACTICING.

THIS IS JUST CODIFYING OKAY.

UM, WHAT OUR PRACTICE IS.

SO WE'RE NOT REALLY CHANGING PRACTICE.

NO.

AND THEN, UM, I'M NOT UNDER, I'M NOT FOLLOWING.

SECTION FOUR IS ALL ACTUAL EXPENSES FOR 26 ARE HEREBY RATIFIED, BUT WE'RE ONLY PARTWAY THROUGH THE YEAR.

SO HOW CAN WE RATIFY

[00:25:01]

SO YOU'RE ONLY GONNA RATIFY, UM, YOU ARE RATIFYING THE ENCUMBRANCE CARRYOVER AMOUNT AND THEN THE 1,400 APPROXIMATELY FOR THE SALES TAX RECOVERY.

UM, YOU ARE DOING THAT SO THAT IT CAN GO TO COUNCIL, YOU AS THE COUNCIL MEMBERS, AND THEN YOU WILL, UM, ADOPT AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE BUDGET OFFICIALLY.

SO YOU'RE JUST TAKING THE ACTION THAT YOU NEED TO TAKE AS THE BOARD IN ORDER FOR COUNCIL TO ACTUALLY AMEND THE BUDGET FOR THIS FUND.

SO WHEN DOES THAT HAPPEN? AFTER THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR? IT, NO, IT'LL HAP I'LL, I'LL BRING IT FORTH IN JULY.

WE WANTED TO, TO DO THIS PROCESS WITH YOU FIRST AT THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE CITY ATTORNEY, AND THEN I'LL BRING IT FORWARD OFFICIALLY.

AND, UM, WITH AN ORDINANCE THAT AMENDS THE BUDGET LIKE I TYPICALLY DO, THIS IS JUST AN EXTRA STEP THAT COUNT THAT, UH, THE CITY ATTORNEY HAS RECOMMENDED THAT WE START DOING.

AND TYPICALLY WE AMEND THE BUDGET EVEN AFTER THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR, DON'T WE, TO FINAL TIME.

WE DO IT TWICE.

WE DO IT ONCE BASED ON THE ENCUMBERED, CARRYOVERS AND ANY ACTION THAT COUNSEL HAS TAKEN UP TO THAT TIME.

AND THEN WE DO IT AT THE END OF THE YEAR WITH ANY ACTION THAT COUNSEL HAS TAKEN, UM, FOR ITEMS THAT WEREN'T INCLUDED IN THE BUDGET THAT, THAT WE'VE USED A SIGNED FUND BALANCE FOR, DECIDED TO USE FUND BALANCE FOR, FOR DIFFERENT THINGS THAT HAVE COME UP.

ALRIGHT.

I'M NOT AS SMART A LAWYER AS LIKE MR. WALKER DOWN THERE, SO I'M REALLY GETTING HUNG UP ON THIS WHOLE RATIFYING ACTUAL OH, YES.

AND YOU ALSO , I DIDN'T MEAN TO OFFEND YOU OR BOB, UH, OR BOB, ATTORNEY BOB, UM, YOU GOT SHOW MAYBE YOU NEED TO KEEP I'M STRUGGLING WITH THE ACTUAL EXPENSES.

RATIFYING 'EM, I MEAN, SO FAR IT, IT'S A CUSTOM, IT HAVEN'T HAPPENED YET.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MR. WALKER FEELS ABOUT THIS, BUT IT'S A CUSTOM FOR MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS AND OTHER CORPORATIONS TO RATIFY THE ACTIONS, UH, OF THE, IN THE PREVIOUS YEAR, AT THE END OF THE YEAR.

AND THAT WAY THERE'S, IF BUDGET, IF YOU FIND A DOLLAR HERE, A DOLLAR THERE THAT GETS SPENT.

SO YOU'RE JUST RATIFYING THE, THE BUDGETS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN, ALWAYS BEEN HERE SINCE I'VE BEEN HERE, ALWAYS EXECUTED EXACTLY AS MM-HMM .

YOU MAY APPROVE THEM AND AMEND THEM FROM TIME TO TIME.

THIS IS ONLY AN ACTION TO RATIFY WHAT HAS BEEN DONE IN THE MOVING OF THE MONEY AS IF YOU ADOPTED IT THAT WAY SO THAT IT REFLECTS AND MAKES AUDIT EASIER INSTEAD OF HAVING TO GO THROUGH AND AMEND EVERY SECTION AT THE END OF THE YEAR OF MONEY ACTUAL SPENT THAT HAS BEEN MOVED IN ACCORDANCE WITH YOUR CHARGE TO US WHEN YOU APPROVE THE MOVING OF THE MONEY WITHIN THE BUDGET.

SO IT'S JUST REALLY A HOUSEKEEPING MEASURE.

IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TRADITIONALLY DONE THROUGH THE COUNCIL, BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS IMPORTANT SINCE, UH, MY IMPENDING DEPARTURE MM-HMM .

UH, A YEAR FROM NOW.

I WANTED THIS STUFF CODIFIED SO THAT THERE WAS CONTINUITY AND WHEN, AND WHEN MS. TIAN LEAVES THAT THOSE THAT SUCCEED US WOULD HAVE A WAY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WE DID AND WHY WE DID IT.

SO WE'RE MERELY JUST CODIFYING WHEN YOU ADOPT YOUR BUDGET FOR THE CITY, THERE IS A SIMILAR PROVISION IN THE CITY'S BUDGET THAT SAYS YOU RATIFY THE PREVIOUS EXPENDITURES IN CASE WE'VE MISSED BRINGING YOU SOMETHING.

THEN IT'S BEEN APPROVED AND WE DON'T HAVE A, AN ISSUE.

SO DO WE, DO WE RATIFY ALL THESE ACTUAL EXPENSES AGAIN AT THE END OF THE YEAR? YOU'LL DO IT THROUGH, 'CAUSE ALL THIS GETS CARRIED OVER INTO THE CITY'S BUDGET IN, IN, IN OUR TOWN.

SO WE TAKE WHAT WE DO INSTEAD OF HAVING A SEPARATE BUDGET, WHICH SOME CITIES DO, WE ROLL THIS INTO THE BUDGET, AND THEN WE RATIFY IT AGAIN AT, AT THE END OF THE YEAR.

WELL, I'M SURE I, I DON'T WANT TO, I AM BOGGING DOWN THE MEETING, BUT I DON'T WANT TO, I I'M NOT, UM, I'M SURE I DON'T NEED TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT IT.

I JUST, I'M HA I'M STRUGGLING WITH THE ACTUAL EXPENSES THAT HAVEN'T HAPPENED.

WE'VE ONLY INCURRED ABOUT SIX MONTHS, OR, WELL, YOU CAN ONLY RAT WHAT HAS OCCURRED UP TO TONIGHT AND TONIGHT AND THEN WE'LL DO IT AGAIN LATER AND YOU'LL DO IT AGAIN.

TONIGHT'S WHAT I'M GETTING HUNG UP ON.

THANKS.

WE WANT YOU TO BE COMFORTABLE WITH THAT.

BOARD MEMBER NEVILLES.

UM, AM I OKAY TO MAKE A MOTION? ALRIGHT.

EXCELLENT.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? MAKE SURE YOU ALRIGHT.

EXCELLENT.

UM, UH, MADAM PRESIDENT, I MOVE TO, UH, APPROVE A RESOLUTION, UH, APPROVING THE FY 20 26 20 27 CRIME CONTROL AND PREVENTION DISTRICT BUDGET WITH, UH, AN AMENDMENT TO REMOVE $794,550 FROM THE SALARY REIMBURSEMENT, PROVIDING FOR ADMINISTRATIVE ADJUSTMENTS AND PROVIDING FOR AMENDMENTS, UH, AND ADOPTION BY THE COPPEL CITY COUNCIL.

WE WILL REVIEW REVIEW OF THE BUDGET CALENDAR OF THE CRIME CONTROL AND PREVENTION DISTRICT.

I HAVE A MOTION.

DO I HAVE A SECOND

[00:30:01]

BOARD MEMBER HILL.

ALL IN FAVOR? WALKER HINOJOSA SMITH.

[8. 2026-0245 Review of the budget calendar for the Crime Control and Prevention District.]

MS. TIAN.

UM, I WILL WALK YOU THROUGH THE CRIME CONTROL AND PREVENTION DISTRICT 20 FISCAL YEAR 27 BUDGET CALENDAR.

UH, ON THIS SLIDE, IT SHOWS YOU THE VARIOUS STATES FOR THE CRIME CONTROL AND PREVENTION DISTRICT.

UH, FIRST THE BOARD MUST HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE CCPD BUDGET AND THAT PUBLIC HEARING WAS HELD THIS EVENING.

NEXT, THE BOARD MUST ADOPT THE BUDGET BEFORE COUNCIL CAN HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING AND ADOPT THE BUDGET.

AND THE, UH, THE BOARD APPROVED THE FISCAL YEAR 27 BUDGET AS AMENDED THIS EVENING.

AND SO NOW THE CCP DE CCPD BUDGET WILL GO TO THE CITY COUNCIL.

AND CITY COUNCIL WILL REVIEW THE BUDGET, UH, AT THE STRATEGIC, UH, PLANNING SESSION ON JULY 13TH, WHERE THEY WILL ALSO HEAR, UH, ALL SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS, UH, OF WHICH THE CRIME CONTROL, UH, PREVENTION DISTRICT WILL ALSO BE DISCUSSED.

THEN ON AUGUST 11TH, THE CITY COUNCIL WILL HOLD THE REQUIRED PUBLIC HEARING AND CONSIDER ADOPTION OF THE CRIME CONTROL AND PREVENTION DISTRICT BUDGET.

AND THEN FINALLY ON SEPTEMBER 8TH, UH, COUNCIL WILL HEAR THE PUBLIC HEARING AND ADOPTION RELATED TO THE CITY'S OVERALL, UH, ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET AND TAX RATE.

AND THAT, UH, IS REQUIRED BY CHAPTER 26 OF THE TAX CODE AND CHAPTER 1 0 2 OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT CODE.

AND I SHARED THE, THE SEPTEMBER 8TH DATE, UH, FOR YOUR AWARENESS AND FOR THE COMMUNITY'S AWARENESS.

UH, YOU'LL NOTICE THAT CCP D'S BUDGET IS BEING A ADOPTED, UM, OUTSIDE OF THE NORMAL BUDGET PROCESS.

AND THAT'S REQUIRED BECAUSE WE HAD TO SHIFT OUR DATE.

UM, IT IS REQUIRED TO BE ADOPTED 30 DAYS BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF THE FISCAL YEAR, AND IF WE WAIT TILL SEPTEMBER 8TH, WE WOULDN'T MEET THAT DEADLINE.

SO THAT IS WHY WE'RE DOING THIS, UM, IN A DIFFERENT CYCLE THAN WHAT YOU HAVE HISTORICALLY SEEN.

SO, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ON THE CALENDAR.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE CALENDAR AS PRESENTED BY MS. TIAN? NOPE.

NO QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU MS. TIAN.

UM, WE WILL MOVE

[9. 2026-0257 Consider election of President and Vice President.]

ON TO ITEM NINE.

CONSIDER ELECTION OF PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT.

I WILL ENTERTAIN ANY NOMINATIONS FOR, FOR PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT.

BOARD MEMBER NEVILLES.

THANK YOU, MADAM PRESIDENT.

UM, I THINK IT'S ONLY FAIR THAT, UH, THAT MEMBER, RAMESH PRIM KUMAR, UH, TAKE THE REINS OF THIS ILLUSTRIOUS BOARD, UH, AS HIS PRESIDENT FOR NEXT YEAR.
