Capital Improvement Program
The Five-Year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) provides a comprehensive summary of the City’s plans, priorities, and projections for capital projects. As the community continues to grow, it is important to plan for the infrastructure, facilities, and maintenance needed to support and enhance the services the City provides to residents. The Five-Year CIP and annual Budget, together, tell the story of how the City is investing taxpayer money in order to promote fiscal responsibility and transparency.
The Five-Year CIP is comprised of the capital projects the City anticipates initiating in each of the next five fiscal years (2026 through 2030), as well as the funding sources for those projects. A capital project is a large, long-term project that acquires, builds, adds to, or prolongs the life of an asset. These projects generally take one or more years to complete, require a significant investment of money, and are useful for many years. Some examples of capital projects are roads, library buildings, recreation centers, water distribution lines, water tanks and towers, stormwater collection pipes, building renovations, and more. Many of these projects also require investments in personnel and other operating expenses, which are planned in the City’s annual operating budget.
DRIVERS
The primary drivers for the Five-Year CIP are:
• Celina is one of the fastest growing cities in America;
• Meeting today’s needs while planning for the future; and
• Fiscal responsibility.
Celina is one of the fastest growing cities in America. The City’s population is projected to increase by 12,597 from 54,635 to 67,232 in FY 2026. The City estimates to issue 2,400 single family home permits for FY 2026, down from 2,643 in the prior year. With this growth, there is an increasing demand for services and infrastructure.
The City also seeks to both meet today’s needs and plan for future needs. To accomplish this, both the budget and FiveYear CIP have been prepared using the guiding principles established in the City’s Strategic Plan, Comprehensive Plan, and Core Values. Additionally, the five-year projection timeline is used to help us see how this years’ decisions impact the City’s ability to meet future needs. This combined short-term and long-term approach will help the City to adapt to the changing needs of our residents throughout the growth cycle.
Transparency and fiscal responsibility are cornerstones of our approach. We are committed to ensuring that
today’s decisions promote long-term sustainability. This document highlights the efforts to manage the City’s finances prudently while addressing the immediate and long-term needs of the growing population.
RESIDENT INPUT
In addition to the primary budget drivers, the Five-Year CIP specifically addresses resident feedback and input. Residents are encouraged to be involved in the Capital Improvement Program process through the resident survey, which is conducted every other year with the most recent survey having been completed in 2024.
These surveys are used to gauge the level of residents’ satisfaction with City services and identify areas for improvement. They play a crucial role in the development of the strategic plan, budget priorities, and the capital project priorities. The areas identified for greatest improvement related to the Capital Improvement Program in the 2024 survey were streets, sidewalks, streetlighting, and utility infrastructure, as well as parks and recreation opportunities. These surveys ensure that the Capital Improvement Program reflects the community’s needs and aspirations.
FINANCIAL OVERVIEW
Financial Overview
To develop a five-year forecast of available funds for capital projects, the City performed an extensive financial forecast. Much of this forecast was created in conjunction with the five-year operating budget projections within the annual budget process. The City conservatively projects revenues to minimize spikes and account for the impact of cycles in the larger economy.
The Five-Year CIP is divided between General Government and Enterprise projects and has two primary funding sources: bonds (debt) and non-bond sources (cash). The primary drivers in estimating revenues are residential and commercial growth, as well as economic conditions. In the last several years, the City has enjoyed a relatively stable upward revenue trend. This trend has been caused by growth in population, property values, sales tax revenue, and the development of residential communities. The City anticipates continued growth during the next several years.
REVENUE PROJECTIONS AND ASSUMPTIONS
The City has experienced rapid population growth over the last several years. Based on already approved housing construction plans, the City projects this population growth to continue. The population chart below shows the rapid growth in the last seven years and the continued growth that is anticipated over the next nine years.
Directly tied to the population growth, Chart 2 shows the single-family home building permits issued and projected. Celina’s growth is expected to remain strong.
In addition to residential growth, the City anticipates commercial growth to begin in the next five years, particularly related to retail. The population of Celina is reaching the point where larger-scale retail can be sustained, and the City has been approached by several big-box retailers about building in Celina.
This growth in residential population and commercial development drives growth in revenues for the Five-Year CIP.
Chart 2
GENERAL GOVERNMENT PROJECT REVENUES
Population growth and single-family building permits have a significant impact on revenues for General Government projects. First and foremost, this growth has resulted in and is projected to continue to cause significant increases to taxable values of property within the City. There are two components to this growth. The first comes from new properties being added to the tax rolls due to residential development. The second comes from rapidly rising home values, which is being experienced across the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. In FY 2026, the City’s property tax value increased by 28.26% or $2.27 billion. Of this increase $1.49 billion is attributable to new taxable values added to the tax roll. The remaining $786 million is attributable to the growth in value of existing properties.
Chart 3 shows the projected growth in taxable values over the next five years, which we anticipate remaining strong.
$16,000,000,000
$14,000,000,000
$12,000,000,000
$10,000,000,000
$8,000,000,000
$6,000,000,000
$4,000,000,000
$2,000,000,000
When applied to the tax rate, this taxable value generates property tax revenues for the General Fund and Debt Service Fund. The City’s tax rate is divided into two components, Maintenance & Operations and Interest & Sinking. The Interest & Sinking portion of the tax rate is dedicated to the Debt Service Fund and is used to repay the debt that funds general government projects.
For Fiscal Year 2026, the City has adopted a total tax rate of $0.576401. Of that, $0.264928 (45.96%) is dedicated to the General Fund for operational expenses, and $0.311473 (54.04%) is dedicated to the Debt Service Fund to pay for the City’s debt. The forecast for the Five-Year CIP maintains the Interest & Sinking rate of $0.311473 for all five years. This projected rate will fund the issuance of the Certificates of Obligation proposed within the Program.
The City anticipates that there will be an opportunity to increase the Interest & Sinking rate without raising the overall tax rate, as the 3.5% cap on the Maintenance & Operation rate is projected to result in a 1 cent or more tax rate reduction per year. Any increase of the Interest
ENTERPRISE PROJECT REVENUES
& Sinking rate above $0.311473 in any future year would allow the City to increase forecasted bond issuances, pay off existing debt earlier, or accelerate the principal amortization of future debt. Additional analysis of the City’s debt is provided in the Debt Outlook section below.
In addition to debt revenues, the City also anticipates growth in the non-bond sources of funding for General Government Capital Projects. As the City experiences residential and commercial development, the City will receive significant non-bond revenues related to impact fees, capital recovery fees, park fees, and technology fees that will be available to invest in capital projects. The purpose of these fees is for new developments to pay for their impact on infrastructure and City services. The City has projected each non-bond revenue source independently based on trends, existing development agreements, and approved future development plans. Many of these revenue sources are restricted to specific uses, while others can be broadly invested in capital projects.
The same population, residential, and commercial growth trends are also driving enterprise project (water, wastewater, and stormwater drainage) revenue growth. The City contracted with Willdan Financial Services to perform a financial forecast for the water and wastewater utilities, which was approved by City Council on May 14, 2024. A detailed analysis of revenues is available in the 2024 Water and Wastewater Rate Study and Financial plan. An update for 2026 is currently in development and will be presented to City Council in March of 2026.
EXPENDITURE FORECAST
Expenditures for the Five-Year CIP are projected based on the type, size, scope, and best practices for each project type. Chart 4 summarizes the total expenditures for all projects in the CIP.
General Government Projects
Enterprise Projects
Total by Year
Costs for future capital projects are particularly difficult to predict. In the last several years, construction inflation and increasing land values have significantly increased the costs for capital projects across the CIP.
Staff has developed cost inflationary projections by project based on prior trends, design firm estimates, and other estimates based on industry best practices. We anticipate some projects to come in under cost and others over cost. We also anticipate the need to move projects between years to continually balance the CIP each year based on community needs and inflationary pressures.

DEBT OUTLOOK
The City issues debt annually to fund capital projects. Similar to a mortgage on a home, the City issues debt for capital projects because they require a large sum of money and last for many years (longer than the debt repayment period). Additionally, because a portion of the principal and interest are paid each year, it allows the residents who receive the benefit of the project to contribute to the cost. If the City issues 25-year debt for a new library, a resident who moves to the City in 18 years and uses the same library will contribute to the repayment of the debt for that project.
For the purposes of the Five-Year CIP, the City’s debt is divided into general, component unit, and enterprise debt.
GENERAL DEBT
The City’s general debt is one of the most significant components of funding for capital projects, paying for projects for all governmental activities (not utilities or component units). These are the major services that residents typically think of when they think about what a city does. General debt is supported by the Interest & Sinking Property Tax Rate.
The City annually issues Certificate of Obligation bonds to pay for core infrastructure projects. These capital projects provide critical infrastructure to address the physical growth of the City and enhancements to core City services. General debt pays for Infrastructure and Capital Projects for Roadway, Facilities, Public Safety, Parks, and Information Technology.
The Five-Year CIP proposes the issuance of $360 million in general debt across all five years. The chart below lists the amounts by year. The corresponding graph shows projected revenue in the Debt Service Fund (red), the principal and interest payments for existing debt (blue), and the principal and interest payments for the proposed general debt in (yellow). The graph shows that the Debt Fund can adequately meet the obligations of the debt proposed in the Five-Year CIP.
FY 2026: $75M FY 2027: $75M
$60M
The debt issuance projection has been developed using the FY 2026 Interest & Sinking Tax Rate of $0.311473 across all five years. The Interest & Sinking Tax Rate is the portion of the Property Tax Rate that is specifically used for the repayment of debt from bond issuances.
As stated in the Revenue Projection and Assumptions section above, the City anticipates that there will be an opportunity to increase the Interest & Sinking Rate without raising the overall tax rate, as the 3.5% cap on the Maintenance & Operation Rate is projected to result in a 1 cent or more tax rate reduction per year. Any increase of the Interest & Sinking Rate above $0.311473 in any future year would allow the City to increase forecasted bond issuances, pay off existing debt earlier, or accelerate the principal amortization of future debt.
COMPONENT UNIT DEBT
The Celina Community Development Corporation (CCDC) is a component unit of the City. It is funded with a dedication of the sales tax rate (0.5%) and its expenditures are restricted by state law. The CCDC is projected to issue $36.7 million in bonds and support the repayment of this debt through their dedicated sales tax revenue. It is anticipated that the CCDC will issue $20 million in 2027 and $16.7 million in 2028. This debt will fund projects related to the scope of the CCDC.
ENTERPRISE DEBT
The City’s enterprise debt is another significant component of funding for capital projects, paying for projects for the City’s water, wastewater (sewer), and stormwater drainage utilities. These utilities are considered independent enterprises that are solely funded through charges for service to customers. Therefore, any enterprise debt issued is repaid through water and wastewater charges for service or stormwater drainage fees.
The City annually issues enterprise Certificate of Obligation bonds to pay for core infrastructure projects. These capital
projects provide critical infrastructure to address the physical growth of the City and maintain the high-quality utility services that our residents expect. Enterprise debt pays for water lines, ground storage tanks, water towers, sewer lines, sewer treatment facilities, pumps, lift stations, drainage channel improvements, and much more.
The City conducted a Water and Wastewater Rate study in 2024 that was approved by City Council on May 14, 2024. An updated rate study is going to City Council in March 2026 and will include all updated CIP information. The rate study and long-term financial plan prepared by Wildan Financial Services included a total of $430.1 million in debt issuances from FY 2026 through FY 2030. The chart below lists the issuances by year. The corresponding graph shows projected revenue for debt in the Water/Wastewater Fund (red), the principal and interest payments for existing debt (blue), and the principal and interest payments for the proposed enterprise debt in (yellow). The graph shows that there are sufficient revenues in the Water/Wastewater Fund to support the proposed enterprise debt issuances in the Five-Year CIP.
FY 2026: $65.5M
FY 2027: $71.15M
FY 2028: $68.85M
FY 2029: $53.75M
FY 2030: $56.8M
DEBT FORECAST WATER/WASTEWATER DEBT PRINCIPLE & INTEREST PAYMENTS
The timing of repayment for water and wastewater debt is adjusted with each issuance with the goal of the customers being served by the capital projects having moved-in when the interest payments for the debt begin.
The Stormwater Drainage Fund does not typically issue much debt. It can issue debt and use revenues from the stormwater drainage fee to repay the debt. Generally, stormwater drainage fee revenues are used to pay cash for small-scale drainage projects.
CONCLUSION
City staff has developed a five-year financial forecast for the budget and CIP to ensure that the planned expenditures and projects are fiscally responsible. The City anticipates continued population growth, residential development, commercial development, and growth in property values over the next five years. This growth will sustain the projects within the FiveYear CIP, as presented in the next section.

Wilson Creek Park – Phase II
($18,700,000)
Wilson Creek Park Phase II will develop an additional 20 acres of the park. Phase II park amenities will include two open multi-sports fields, lighted baseball fields, restroom and concession buildings, and field lighting. This project development will follow the approved Wilson Creek Park Master Plan.
Annual IT Fiber Allocation
($7,500,000)
As Celina expands its critical infrastructure, the requirement for reliable communications to water, wastewater, and public safety facilities is becoming a critical component. This project will continue with regular expansions of the City’s fiber network to connect fire stations, city facilities, water, and wastewater.
Audio/Visual Refresh ($920,000)
Audio/Visual Refresh Project will replace end of life and end of support Audio/Visual and conferencing equipment used throughout the City. Each facility utilizes Audio/Visual systems to host meetings both physically and virtually for efficient collaboration and training. This project will include the procurement and installation of various Audio/Visual systems throughout the City.
Camera Refresh ($270,000)
This project allows the City to replace and retire end-of-life security cameras at various City facilities. This will enable the city to consolidate multiple disparate security systems into a single unified platform. This upgrade will enhance the ability for first responders to have access to city cameras during critical events.
Criminal Investigations Division Storage Refresh ($300,000)
As technology is becoming more prevalent, the use of electronics in criminal activity is increasing drastically. This project will replace and expand the storage used by police for digital evidence collected during investigations. By replacing the end of life / end of support hardware, the city will protect its ability to retain critical digital evidence.
Downtown WIFI Expansion ($500,000)
The downtown WIFI expansion will extend coverage beyond the square to include additional areas of Celina’s Life Connected free public Wi-Fi within downtown Celina. This expansion will allow more residents and visitors to enjoy access and connection to high-speed internet while downtown.
IT Enterprise – Facilities Upgrades/Replacements
