MAYOR DON WARREN DEAR NEIGHBORS & FRIENDS

E

very year, I’m proud to see how much progress we’re making together, and this year is no exception. The theme of this year’s budget, Core Services, Strong Foundations, reflects something I believe deeply: when we get the basics right, our entire community thrives. The City Council has adopted a $219.3 million budget that prioritizes the things residents rely on every day. We’re investing in smoother streets, safer neighborhoods, better drainage, and strong utility systems. These are the essential services that keep life running. This year, we’re putting more than $2.5 million into street maintenance and repairs, with targeted funding to preserve our historic brick streets and improve traffic flow. We’re also adding a second stormwater repair crew so that when heavy rains come, we’re ready to respond quickly and protect our neighborhoods. Public safety continues to be a top priority. We’re dedicating additional resources to our Police and Fire Departments to ensure our first responders are equipped and supported. Tyler’s firefighters continue to rank in the top 1 percent nationwide,

and our Police Department maintains national accreditation for excellence. These investments help keep our community safe while also attracting and retaining the skilled professionals who serve us so well. We’re also enhancing the spaces that bring us together. From major improvements at Golden Road Park to accessibility upgrades at the Rose Garden Center, we’re making sure our parks and public places are welcoming, beautiful, and well cared for. And we’re doing it with innovative funding tools that keep the burden off taxpayers, including the landfill tipping fee and hotel occupancy tax. When you turn on the tap, you’ll continue to receive safe, dependable water because we’re investing more than $14.5 million in water and sewer improvements without raising utility rates. That means better equipment, expanded access, and upgraded systems to meet the needs of today and tomorrow. I’m proud of the foundation we’re building. One that prioritizes safety, reliability, and quality of life. These aren’t just budget items, they’re the things that touch our lives every single day.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve you as Mayor. I’m excited for what’s ahead.

Don Warren Mayor | City of Tyler, Texas

THE CITY IS COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS THE “ C I T Y O F ROSES.”

T

he City of Tyler, Texas, the county seat of Smith County, is considered the advanced manufacturing, health care, educational, and retail center of East Texas. Tyler is located on U.S. Highway 69, just south of Interstate 20, equidistant (approximately 90 miles) between the cities of Dallas, Texas, and Shreveport, Louisiana. The City, encompassing approximately 53 square miles, had a 2020 census population of 105,995, which is a 9.38% increase from the 2010 census population of 96,900. Currently, the City’s population is estimated to be 113,030. The City is commonly referred to as the “City of Roses.” The City, incorporated in 1850, is a home-rule city operating under the Council-Manager form of government. The City Charter was adopted on February 9, 1937. Home-rule corporation status is granted under the Constitution and laws of the State of Texas. The City Council is comprised of the Mayor and six Council Members who function as the policy-making body of the City’s government, determining the overall goals, objectives, and direction for City services, and adopting the annual operating budgets for all City departments. The City Manager is appointed by the City Council and is responsible for the daily management and implementation of City policy, including appointing various key leaders and department heads. The Mayor and Council Members serve two-year terms, with general Council elections occurring each year based on district. The Mayor is elected at large; the remaining Council Members are elected by district. The City is a full-service municipality. Major services provided under general government and enterprise

functions include police and fire protection, water and sewer services, sanitation services, parks and recreational facilities, library services, street improvements, capital projects administration, municipal court, animal services, code enforcement, development and planning services, and general administrative services. The City also offers an airport and a convention center. Internal services of the City, accounted for on a cost-reimbursement basis, include fleet services operations, technology services, property and facility management services, productivity pool, risk management services, and active and retired employee health and dental coverage. The Basic Financial Statements of the City include all governmental activities, organizations, and functions for which the City is financially accountable, including blended component units as defined by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). The City Charter provides that the City Council shall adopt by ordinance an annual budget prepared by the City Manager. This budget is presented to the City Council, and opportunities are provided for public comment during a series of public hearings before adoption. Budgetary control has been established at the individual fund level. The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts between line items and departments within any fund; however, any revisions that alter the total revenues or expenditures of any fund must be approved by the City Council. Although the budget is adopted at the fund level, continued line-item review and forecasting are conducted on a monthly and quarterly basis throughout the fiscal year to ensure compliance with the budget and completion of projects.

LOCAL ECONOMY and shipping of rose bushes. This diversification is evident in the fact that no single taxpayer represents more than 1.90% of assessed valuation in the City. Four institutions of higher education are located in Tyler: The University of Texas at Tyler, The University of Texas Health Science Center, Texas College, and Tyler Junior College. Primary and secondary education is provided by several public school districts, three charter schools, as well as ten private/parochial schools in the Tyler area.

T

he information presented in the budget document is best understood when considered from the broader perspective of the specific environment within which the City operates. The chief industries in and around Tyler include health care and research; education; grocery distribution; retail and retail distribution; air conditioning unit manufacturing; cable, internet, and phone services; government services; engineering services; banking services; meat packing and processing; cast iron pipe and fitting manufacturing; oil and gas refining; ready-mix concrete production; tourism; and the growing

Tyler is also the medical center of East Texas, with three hospitals and numerous supporting clinics, practices, and specialty hospitals. Additionally, Tyler has many tourist attractions. The Texas Rose Festival includes the crowning of the Rose Queen, which attracts a large number of visitors each year. The Azalea Trails attract additional tourism in the spring. Each September, Tyler hosts the East Texas State Fair for one week, providing midway, craft, and 4-H activities. Tyler State Park, located just north of Tyler, provides nature trails and camping in a scenic setting. Lake Tyler and Lake Tyler East, located twelve miles southeast of the City, are popular recreational and fishing sites. The City actively works with the Tyler Economic Development Corporation and local industries to encourage expansions and relocations to the community. Two TIF/TIRZ zones were created in 2008—one in the downtown area and another in north Tyler—in coordination with

10 | T yler Profile

revitalization efforts. In fiscal year 2016, the downtown TIF/TIRZ was dissolved due to the value falling below the initial baseline. This was caused by governmental agencies purchasing properties and housing units receiving favorable tax exemptions. In October 2016, the City began the process of creating a new downtown TIRZ. In February 2018, interlocal agreements were approved by the City Council, creating Zone 4. Land is available for development; the area has an abundant water supply and typically mild weather. The Tyler area cost of living index has consistently been 90–96% of the national average for the past five years. Economic incentives, as well as historic preservation incentives, are available to facilitate business expansions or relocations. Because of its location in a region with a varied economic base, unemployment in the Tyler area has remained relatively stable. Over the past five years, while trending closely with the State of Texas, it has consistently remained below the national average. During the past ten years, the unemployment rate has ranged from a low of 3.2 percent (2019) to a previous decade high of 7.8 percent (2012), ending at the current rate of 3.9 percent. This represents a decrease of 0.2 percent from the prior year while remaining in line with state and national trends. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Tyler Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) civilian labor force totaled approximately 336,000 in 2023, reflecting steady regional growth and economic diversification.

12% Population growth in the last five years has outpaced previous periods. The population increased by 10 percent from 1990 to 2000, and by 16 percent from 2000 to 2010. From 2010 to 2020, the City experienced an increase of approximately 10.9 percent. Since 2020, Tyler’s population has continued to grow, reaching an estimated 113,030 in 2025—an increase of approximately 5.2 percent. Market and economic analysts estimate that approximately 270,000 people travel to Tyler each day to work, attend school, seek medical services, or shop. Significant transportation improvements continue to enhance regional connectivity and access to Tyler. The Loop 49 Toll Project, which provides a vital regional corridor around the City, is largely complete, extending from State Highway 110 to Interstate 20 west of Tyler. Additional segments are under development to complete the planned loop connecting the City’s southern and eastern regions. Once fully completed, Loop 49 will create a

continuous route around Tyler, facilitating increased traffic flow from I-20 into the City and supporting shopping, commerce, and economic development opportunities. Along with the Loop 49 project, the Northeast Texas Regional Mobility Authority was authorized in 2004 to construct, operate, and maintain turnpike projects in the state, which includes the Tyler area. Including various other means of interstate access, the Tyler Pounds Regional Airport allows for secure and efficient air travel in and out of the region. Total flight enplanements have declined due to COVID-19 from 72,509 in 2011 to a current level of 55,653 in 2024. Tyler is the first Certified Retirement City in Texas. Tyler meets high standards for retiree living, such as low cost of living, low crime rate, quality health care, abundant recreation, and educational opportunities. Tyler is 16th in the nation for cost of living in Retirement Places Rated: Special Millennium Edition.

LONG-TERM FINANCIAL PLANNING Within the policy guidelines established by the City Council for budgetary and planning purposes, the City of Tyler maintains an unassigned fund balance greater than 15 percent of total General Fund expenditures, less transfers. In addition to the Capital Projects Fund, the City utilizes half-cent sales tax (4B) dollars to pay for capital projects related to street improvements, drainage enhancements, park development, and other projects as approved by the corporation board and the City Council. By paying cash for infrastructure projects, the City achieved its goal of eliminating general obligation debt as of February 2008. The City has continued to maintain the lowest property tax rate among mid- to large-sized cities in Texas, balancing citizens’ desire for lower property tax rates with the City’s need to address operating costs associated with future planning initiatives. Sales tax revenue has played a significant role in allowing the City to meet this objective, with a ten-year average increase of 4.31 percent. However, such a strong dependence on sales tax has introduced budgeting constraints, and all other sources of revenue will need to be evaluated to stabilize the City’s revenue stream in the future. By maintaining an adequate reserve and continuously monitoring economic conditions, the City plans to continue meeting the needs of its citizens in a streamlined and cost-effective manner.

12 | T yler Profile

RELEVANT FINANCIAL POLICIES

Multiyear forecasting is utilized as part of the revenue and expenditure budgeting process to identify and maximize potential budgetary gains during restricted budgetary cycles. In fiscal year 2009, an Other PostEmployment Benefits (OPEB) Trust was established to segregate and invest funds related to retiree benefits, allowing the City to achieve a greater rate of return while maintaining fiduciary responsibility and security of principal.


MAJOR INITIATIVES TYLER TOMORROW

SOUTH TYLER MOBILITY STUDY

The plan will outline a clear vision for Tyler’s future that aligns with broad community goals and policies, along with strategies and actions to achieve those goals. Throughout the planning process, residents and stakeholders will have the opportunity to express their priorities through surveys, public meetings, and discussions. This collaborative effort will help form a shared vision for the kind of city Tyler wants to be for their children and grandchildren.

Funding from the Half Cent Sales Tax Fund supports the study's data analysis and planning phases. As it progresses through short-term (within two years), midterm (five years), and long-term (10+ years) phases, the City will seek investment to implement these upgrades. This study will manage congestion, improve emergency access, and support economic growth in South Tyler.'

Tyler’s steady growth and changing needs make this a pivotal moment for a new comprehensive plan to guide and shape the city’s future growth over the next 20 years. The new plan, titled Tyler Tomorrow, will build upon the foundation of Tyler 1st and establish a renewed framework for making decisions about the city’s longterm physical development.

DOWNTOWN IMPROVEMENT PROJECT The Downtown Improvement Project is a significant investment by the City of Tyler aimed at revitalizing Downtown as a vibrant community hub. Supported by both the City and Smith County, the project enhances safety, accessibility, and encourages community interaction through dining, shopping, and events.

Central to the initiative is a reimagined Downtown Square, featuring new green spaces, flexible event areas, outdoor seating, public restrooms, and designated zones for food trucks. Surrounding streets will be redesigned for improved walkability and traffic flow, with wider sidewalks, updated lighting, public art, and landscaping. The project's total investment is approximately $25.5 million, with around $10.7 million from federal recovery funds under the American Rescue Plan Act, supplemented by the Half Cent Sales Tax Fund, Tyler Water Utilities, and the City’s Information Technology Fund.

The South Tyler Mobility Study is an initiative by the City of Tyler to address transportation challenges due to rapid growth in the southern part of the city. It evaluates seven corridors and proposes nine projects to improve traffic conditions, enhance connectivity, and expand roadway infrastructure. The projects include new routes, road widening, sidewalks, bike lanes, and improved intersections to boost safety and mobility for all users.

CONSENT DECREE

The Consent Decree marks one of the most significant investments in infrastructure in Tyler's history. More than just a regulatory requirement, it represents a long-term commitment to essential infrastructure. Established in 2017 through an agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the State of Texas, the decree provides a ten-year roadmap for modernizing Tyler's wastewater collection system and reducing sanitary sewer overflows. As part of this program, Tyler Water Utilities is systematically cleaning, inspecting, and assessing every sewer line and manhole in the system. This process includes evaluating capacity needs and prioritizing rehabilitation in areas with aging infrastructure or recurring issues. By strengthening the wastewater system, Tyler aims to improve environmental stewardship, reduce overflow risks, enhance service reliability, and ensure that the community possesses the modern and resilient utilities necessary to support future development.

This project marks a significant step in Tyler's commitment to revitalization, focusing on growth, honoring local history, and creating an inviting destination for residents and visitors alike.

AWARDS AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

PARKS, RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE MASTER PLAN

The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Tyler for its Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023. This marks the thirty-eighth consecutive year that the City has received this prestigious award. To be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a governmental entity must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized Comprehensive Annual Financial Report that meets program standards and satisfies both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements. The Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year. In addition, the City has received the Government Treasurers’ Organization of Texas (GTOT) Investment Policy Certificate of Distinction for its annually adopted investment policy for seven consecutive periods. This award, which is valid for two years, recognizes entities that demonstrate compliance with the State Investment Act and uphold the highest standards of fiscal responsibility in the management of public funds. For nineteen consecutive years, the City of Tyler has also been presented with the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award from the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada. This award affirms that the City’s budget document meets the highest standards for quality and transparency, adhering to the guidelines established by the National Advisory Council on State and Local Budgeting and the GFOA’s best practices in budgeting.

Over the past decade, one of the City of Tyler’s most visible and community-focused initiatives has been the revitalization of its entire parks system. The effort began in 2015 with Bergfeld Park, where a series of phased improvements — from a new playground and amphitheater upgrades to a splash pad and renovated courts — set the tone for what a modern, family-friendly neighborhood park could be. Bergfeld’s success became the model for a long-term commitment: systematically upgrading all 28 City parks (and adding park #29, Stewart Park), so every neighborhood benefits from safe, beautiful, and active public spaces. Guided by the Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Master Plan, the City established a structured, year-by-year approach to improvements. Each year, Tyler invests in targeted upgrades that reflect community needs, whether that’s new playground equipment, improved accessibility, refreshed courts, or added shade and landscaping. This steady, predictable reinvestment ensures that older parks don’t fall behind and that every resident, regardless of where they live, has access to quality recreation. What began as a single-park project has grown into a decade-long commitment to strengthening neighborhoods, supporting health and wellness, and enhancing quality of life. Today, Tyler’s park revitalization program stands as one of the City’s major accomplishments, demonstrating how consistent planning, community input, and longterm vision can transform public spaces across the entire city.

WATER SYSTEM MASTER PLAN

Tyler Water Utilities is focusing on long-term sustainability and service reliability through its Water System Master Plan, completed in 2023. This plan includes a dynamic hydraulic model of the water system and a 25-year, $352.6 million Capital Improvement Plan to keep pace with growth, meet standards, and ensure reliable service. The existing distribution system spans 230 square miles, comprising 710 miles of water mains, a pumping capacity of 114 million gallons per day, 17 million gallons of storage, and serves 36,000 metered connections alongside four wholesale customers. Key projects include additional elevated storage, pumping capacity, new pipelines, water main replacements, and upgrades to the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system.

CITY MANAGER DEAR TYLER RESIDENTS

E

ach year, our focus is to deliver the services that matter most to Tyler’s residents while maintaining a strong and efficient foundation. The Fiscal Year 2026 budget, adopted under the theme Core Services, Strong Foundations, continues that mission by prioritizing core needs and supporting the people and systems that carry them out. At $219.3 million, this year’s budget is both strategic and disciplined. It reduces the property tax rate to $0.236452 per $100 valuation, the lowest in nearly a decade, while continuing to deliver essential services at a high standard. This is a reflection of our shared commitment to financial responsibility. By relying on a balanced mix of revenue sources, including sales tax and grant funding, we ensure taxpayers receive the maximum value for every dollar spent.

Supporting public safety is one of the most visible and vital parts of our work. This year, we have made targeted investments that help ensure Tyler remains a safe and secure place to live. We are investing $38.9 million in the Tyler Police Department and $26.7 million in the Fire Department. These funds will support our nationally accredited law enforcement agency and help maintain our ISO Class 1 fire protection rating. Continued participation in the AXON replacement program ensures our officers are equipped with reliable and modern technology in the field. At the same time, improvements at the Tyler Animal Shelter and the ongoing removal of substandard commercial structures reflect our broader efforts to improve safety and livability across neighborhoods. Behind the scenes, we are continuing to build operational capacity across departments. This budget supports efforts to modernize our tools and expand our in-house abilities to respond to daily needs more efficiently. From adding a second stormwater crew to replacing aging street maintenance equipment, we are strengthening our ability to deliver timely service. These improvements are not just about technology or equipment; they are about responsiveness and making sure our teams have what they need to meet resident expectations. As part of our ongoing modernization strategy, we are investing in Tyler’s traffic systems and drainage infrastructure. The 10-year traffic signal plan moves forward this year with increased funding for signal maintenance and upgrades. At the same time, targeted stormwater improvements will address recurring issues in areas like North Glass Avenue, East Lake Street, and Covey Lane. These projects aim to reduce erosion, increase drainage reliability, and protect homes from the impact of heavy rain. The foundation of every successful city is its ability to deliver reliable, everyday services. These are the fundamentals that people count on: safe streets, clean water, emergency response, and maintained public spaces. I am proud of our teams across all departments who continue to do that work with excellence and care. With every improvement we make, we are not only serving today's needs but preparing for the future as well.

Additionally, the City increased its employer contributions to absorb health plan premiums and other associated cost increases for all three Health Plans. The City will continue to offer a triple-option health plan, giving employees the opportunity to choose a flex spending account (FSA) for participants in the Rose or Azalea plans; and a health savings account (HSA) for participants in the Blue Bonnet plan, i.e., the high-deductible health plan option. To further support employees enrolled in the Blue Bonnet plan, the City will make a one-time $500 contribution to their HSA accounts. The City of Tyler’s goal is to provide the best benefits to its employees while balancing costs and minimizing the financial impact on the City, its citizens, and employees. The City will continue its efforts to balance health plan costs through diligent collaboration with its retained health benefits consultants to implement strategic cost containment and savings measures.

BUDGET POLICY BUDGET ADOPTION

The City’s fiscal year is from October 1 through September 30. The City Charter requires public hearings and adoption of the budget by fund to be completed by the final City Council meeting in September. The City Council adopts the budget by ordinance in accordance with state statutes and the City Charter. Estimated expenditures of any fund may not exceed proposed revenue plus prior year unencumbered balances. During a budget cycle, any unused appropriations may be transferred to any item required for the same general purpose within the same department and/or fund with City Manager approval. Any transfer of budget amounts between funds or base increases in appropriations must be approved by the City Council. Appropriations lapse at fiscal yearend, unless lawfully reappropriated in ensuing adopted budgets. Budgets of the governmental fund type are prepared on a modified accrual basis of accounting. The budgeted estimates are expected to be collected and expended in the same fiscal budget year. The financial records are maintained on the modified accrual basis. Obligations in these funds are recorded as expenditures, and revenues are recognized only when they are actually received. Budgets of the enterprise fund types are also prepared on a modified accrual basis, but financial records are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting. Not only are expenses recognized when a commitment is made, but revenues are also recognized when they are obligated to the City. Developed on a program basis, the budget depicts all services provided by the City and resources allocated for the provision of these services. Program priorities for the organization are developed

by City Council, City staff and citizen input; and are used as major guidelines in the development of funding recommendations.

BUDGET AMENDMENTS

Under emergency conditions which may arise and which could not reasonably have been foreseen in the normal process of planning the budget, the City Council may (by a majority vote of the full membership) amend or change the budget to provide for any additional expense in which the general welfare of the citizenry is involved. These amendments shall be by ordinance. Any budget amendment must adhere to the balanced budget requirement, and cannot change the property tax levy or in any manner alter a taxpayer’s liability. The City of Tyler budget is a program-based budget that is adopted by fund. Ordinances approved by City Council are required to increase or decrease appropriations in any fund. Although adopted by fund, budgets are prepared by line item, and the City Manager approves budget adjustments within a fund between line items.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accounts of the City of Tyler are organized and operated on the basis of funds or account groups. Each is considered to be a separate accounting entity with its own separate set of selfbalancing accounts consisting of assets, liabilities, fund balances, net assets, revenues, and expenditures or expenses. In accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the City’s funds can be classified into one of three broad classifications of funds and categorized into one of seven fund types as follows.

25 | Reader's Guide

GOVERNMENTAL FUNDS

Governmental funds are primarily used to account for tax-supported, externally mandated fee and grant activities. The measurement focus is toward determination of financial position and changes in financial position, rather than upon net income determination. These funds operate under the modified accrual basis of accounting. They recognize revenue as income only when it becomes measurable and available. The City recognizes expenditures when a liability has been incurred except for some long-term liabilities, such as debt service, compensated absences, claims, and judgments that are recognized when payment is due. The City utilizes the following governmental fund types:

General – the City operates one general fund as the Chief Operating Fund for the City. It is used to account for all financial resources of the City that are not legally required to be accounted for in another fund. The City utilizes Internal Service Funds to account for some benefit, maintenance and equipment purchase requirements associated with the General Fund. Debt Service – this fund is used to accumulate resources to meet the current and future principal and interest payments on the City’s general long-term debt. The City paid off all tax-supported debt in fiscal year 2007-2008. Capital Projects – the City operates three capital projects funds. The major fund associated with capital projects is the One Half Cent Sales Tax Corporation, which is used for infrastructure improvements in an effort to eliminate tax-supported debt. This fund is not included in this document, and has no formally


BUDGET PO adopted budget by the City Council. It is included in the annual financial audit. The second capital projects fund is the General Capital Projects Fund. This fund is used as a supplemental resource to pay for one-time related capital expenditures from the General Fund. The third capital projects fund is the Street Improvement Fund. In FY 2017-2018, the Mayor and City Council created this fund to continue to fund street-improvement projects to upgrade and then maintain the City’s streets to an acceptable level.

Special Revenue – the City uses special revenue funds to account for proceeds from specific revenue sources that are legally restricted to expenditures for specific purposes other than debt service or capital projects. These restrictions may be imposed either by parties outside the government or by the local governing body. The City operates with the following Special Revenue Funds: • Development Services – established to account for the receipt and disbursement of funds related to Building Inspections and Planning and Zoning. • Police Forfeiture – established to account for the receipt and disbursement of funds seized by the Police Department and subsequently awarded to the City through courtordered judgments, primarily cases involving illegal drugs. • Court Special Fee – established to track the receipt of court fees restricted for court-related purchases. • TIF/TIRZ #2 – established to account for the receipt and disbursement of funds related to the Tax Increment Financing Zone established for the Downtown Tyler region. Was dissolved in fiscal year 2015-2016 and reestablished as TIF/TIRZ #4 in fiscal year 2018-2019.

PROPRIETARY FUNDS

Proprietary funds are used to account for business activities in which funding is provided by fees and charges for services. The measurement focus of proprietary funds is total economic resources. As such, these funds use the accrual basis of accounting, recognizing revenues when earned and expenses as the liability is incurred. For budgeting purposes, the proprietary fund types are budgeted on a modified accrual basis to better manage available working capital. The City utilizes the following proprietary fund types.

Enterprise – these funds cover the cost of their operations through fees charged to individual users. • Utilities – accounts for the maintenance and operations of the infrastructure of the City’s Water and Sewer system, including administration, billing, distribution, treatment, waste collection, waste treatment, Lake Tyler, and Geographical Information Systems (GIS). • Utility Construction – established to track the costs of capital improvements to the utility system. • Utility Debt Service – established to track the debt service costs related to revenue bond indebtedness. • Utility Debt Reserve – established to track debt service reserve requirements related to the 2009 utility debt issue. • Solid Waste – accounts for the maintenance and operations of the garbage collection and litter abatement programs operated by the City of Tyler. This includes administration, residential collection, commercial collection, litter control and complex maintenance.


BUDGET POLICY CONTINUED

Internal Service – these funds are used to report activities that provide services for other funds within the City. The full cost of providing these services is charged back to the using funds. The City utilizes the following internal service funds: • Productivity – established to track performance pay of City employees as well as the cost of internal audit and City University. • Fleet Maintenance/Replacement – accounts for the maintenance and repair work on vehicles for all City departments. The fund also acquires vehicles and equipment for use by all City departments on an amortization replacement schedule.

FIDUCIARY FUNDS

Fiduciary funds are used to account for activities that are held in trust by the City, with the funds themselves appropriated for other purposes or agencies. Because these funds are held by the City of Tyler for other agencies or individuals, there is no formally adopted budget for Fiduciary Funds, and these funds are not included in the budget document. The City operates four Fiduciary funds, including an Employee Benefit Trust – Section 125 Plan, Employee Benefits Trust – OPEB Trust, the Lindsey Private Purpose Trust and the Greenwood Landfill Private Purpose Trust. All funds are included in the annual financial audit. The City has an external audit completed each year. The external auditors prepare the City’s Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) based on GAAP reflecting the City’s financial position at the end of its fiscal year. The CAFR reports expenditures and revenues on both a GAAP basis and budget basis for the purpose of comparison. The following audit adjustments are made to adjust the City’s financial records to GAAP: • Enterprise and internal service funds budget for purchases of capital items as expenditures on a budget basis, but they are recorded as assets on a GAAP basis.

• Property and Liability Insurance – accounts for the City’s property, casualty, disability and workers’ compensation insurance programs.

• Compensated absence liabilities are accrued as earned on a GAAP basis, but expensed when paid on a budget basis.

• Active Employee Benefits – accounts for the City’s self-insurance program for health and dental benefits for active employees as well as life insurance benefits provided through traditional insurance.

• Governmental funds record revenues when received and book expenditures as encumbrances at the point of commitment during the budget year. Audit adjustments recognize all revenue that is measurable and available within 60 days of year-end on a GAAP basis.

DEPARTMENTAL HEARINGS (PHASES II AND III)

BUDGET PHASES

The City of Tyler begins in January with the development of next year’s budget. The budget development process requires input from City staff, the City Council and citizens. In order for this input to be given appropriate consideration, the process begins approximately six months before the budget is adopted. There are five distinct phases in the development of the City’s budget.

FISCAL ALIGNMENT (PHASE I)

Budget Goals – the process starts with the development of budget goals based on the City’s Strategic Plan and continuous feedback received from the City Council and citizens. After the goals are developed, meetings with the City’s administrative team set the stage for budget formation. Forecast Schedule and Strategy Development & Business Plan – the goal of this phase is to align the City’s strategic plan and business planning process with the budget development. This phase also provides strategic fiscal forecasting, financial assumptions, revenue and reserve information, as well as management’s expectations about the development of departmental budgets. At these meetings, the budget calendar is discussed. The calendar includes internal and external deadlines. The calendar allows citizens and the City Council to be aware of the schedule and the official dates for public input. Also, supplemental requests for the upcoming fiscal year and future years are discussed.

Budget Development – departments develop their budgets based on the financial expectations and the guidelines they have been provided. After departments have entered their budget in the City’s financial system, they are reviewed with the Budget Committee. This review meeting allows the departments to highlight changing trends in their service levels in addition to making proposals for new services or changes to existing services. Phase II involves the development of the internal service fund budgets. Also, Phase II includes the review of all capital operating and debt service budgets. Capital Improvements Plan – the Capital Improvements Plan is developed during this process as well. The City reviews all Capital Improvement projects on a monthly basis to ensure that they are staying on track with the annual plan. The City operates with a five-year plan where projects are added based on an objective scoring criteria established by the City Council. As the fund balances in each of the capital project funds are reviewed and analyzed for excess revenue, that revenue is considered for additional projects. Additional projects are prioritized and then placed on next year’s schedule when funding is available.

BUDGET PRESENTATION (PHASE IV)

Once all of the input is received, the budget is developed, and the City Manager presents it to the City Council in August. The proposed budget will contain the proposed tax rate, water and wastewater rate, and sanitation rate as well as fee changes. The City Manager provides the City Council and the public with an overview of the budget and a summary of the major changes being recommended.

ADOPTION PROCESS (PHASE V)

The City Council then receives public input through public hearings and community dialogue before adoption. Any additional information needed to understand changes within the budget will be provided to City Council during this time. The City Council will adopt the budget by fund and adopt the new property tax rate before the start of the fiscal year on October 1.

The City of Tyler’s Financial Management Performance Criteria (FMPC) serves as the basis for the overall fiscal management of the City’s resources. These policies guide the City Council and administration in making sound financial decisions and in maintaining Tyler’s fiscal stability. The policies outlined here are developed to address specific financial issues. These policies are reviewed annually and updated as needed. Listed below are financial policies, which are specifically related to the adoption and execution of the annual operating budget.

BUDGETING, ACCOUNTING, AUDITING AND FINANCIAL PLANNING CRITERIA

• Establish and maintain a central accounting system for all functions of accounting, financing, inventory and budgeting. • Submit to the City Council quarterly revenue and expenditure reports to show the financial position of the City of Tyler. The reports include budgetary forecasts and year-to-date actual comparisons to show the financial condition of the major operating funds. In addition, a quarterly investment report will be presented which meets/exceeds the requirements of the Public Funds Investment Act. • File with the City Clerk for public review, a copy of the proposed ensuing fiscal year budget a minimum of 45 days prior to October 1. • City Council shall cause an independent audit to be made of the books of account, records and transactions of all the administrative departments of the City at least annually.

OPERATING CRITERIA

• Estimated expenditures shall in no case exceed proposed revenue plus prior year undesignated balances. • Unused appropriations may be transferred to any item required for the same general purpose within the same department and/or fund if approved by the City Manager. All other transfers between funds and base increases to appropriations must be approved by the City Council.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS

• A fund balance shall be maintained at a level of 15 percent of estimated annual operating expenditures for the General Fund and at 15 percent of estimated annual operating expenses in the Utility Fund and Solid Waste Fund.

• Interest earnings on bond proceeds shall be credited to the debt service fund. • The City of Tyler intends to pay for tax supported construction and capital improvements with cash.

• Investments shall be managed in accordance with the current Investment Policy. Investments shall comply with Federal, State and local laws. Investments will consider protection of principal first, with the intent to diversify as well as provide for liquidity needs. Investments shall be made to maintain public trust and not speculate.

INVESTMENT POLICY ORDINANCE NO. O-2024-101

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TYLER, TEXAS, AMENDING CHAPTER 2, “FINANCE AND TAXATION”, ARTICLE V, “INVESTMENT POLICY”, OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES OF THE CITY OF TYLER, TEXAS; PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; AND ESTABLISHING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. WHEREAS, the Public Funds Investment Act, (currently Chapter 2256 of the Texas Government Code, Section 2256.005), requires that the City Council review and adopt its Investment Policy and strategy at least annually; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TYLER, TEXAS: PART 1. That Tyler City Code Chapter 2, “Finance and Taxation”, Article V., “Investment Policy”, is hereby amended to read as follows:

ARTICLE V. INVESTMENT POLICY

Sec. 2-46. Introduction and Scope. The Public Funds Investment Act, Chapter 2256, Texas Government Code, (the “PFIA”) requires each city to adopt a written investment policy that includes a written investment strategy, quarterly reports to City Council with market values, an annual review of the policy by Council and an annual compliance audit among other requirements. This Policy shall apply to the investment and management of all City funds under its control, other than those expressly excluded within this document or by applicable law or valid agreement. The Fire Pension Fund is excluded from this Policy because it is separately organized and managed by contract with investment companies as directed by the Fire Pension Board, and the Lindsey Police and Firefighters' Endowment Fund is also excluded from this Policy because it is separately organized and managed by contract with an investment company as directed by the Lindsey Police and Firefighters' Fund Board. The Employees Deferred Compensation Agency Fund and the Retirees Health Benefits Trust Fund are also excluded. This Policy shall not supersede the restrictions on investment of specific funds because of legal limits, created by grants, bond covenants or similar regulations. In the event of conflict, the more restrictive policy shall be followed. (Ord. No. 0-98-21; 3/18/98) (Ord. No. 0-2000-21; 3/22/00) (Ord. No. 0-200254, 11/13/2002) (0-2003-65, 11/26/03) (Ord. 0-2004-87, 11/10/04) (Ord. 0-2005-91, 11/9/05) (Ord. No. O-2006-93, 11/8/06) (Ord. No. 0-2007-130, 11/14/07) (Ord. No. 0-2008-37, 2/27/08) (Ord.

INVESTMENT POLICY CONTINUED

Sec. 2-47. Investment Strategy. The City shall use a pooled cash and investment approach commingling money from various fund types for market efficiency to the extent that is practical and legal. The following investment strategy considerations recognize the unique advantages of a pooled cash and investment portfolio, including the reduction of cash flow uncertainty and the increased opportunity of yield curve extension. Funds included in the portfolio will include those from the operating funds, debt service and debt reserve funds, and special projects. The liquidity requirements of the pooled investment portfolio will be projected and matched with maturities. Pooled Fund Group Suitability - Any investment eligible in the Investment Policy is suitable for Pooled Fund Groups.

are necessary in the event of an unanticipated cash flow requirement. Historical market “spreads” between the bid and offer prices of a particular security-type of less than a quarter of a percentage point will define an efficient secondary market. Diversification - Investment maturities should be staggered throughout the budget cycle to provide cash flow based on the anticipated operating needs of the City. Diversifying the appropriate maturity structure up to the two-year maximum will reduce interest rate risk. Yield - Yield - Attaining a competitive market yield for comparable security types and portfolio restrictions is the desired objective. The yield of an equally weighted, rolling three-month Treasury Bill portfolio will be the minimum yield objective.

Safety of Principal - All investments shall be of high quality with no perceived default risk. Market price fluctuations will occur. However, managing the weighted average days to maturity to less than 270 days and restricting the maximum allowable maturity to two years using the final stated maturity dates of each investment will minimize the price volatility of the portfolio.

Special Project and Bond Proceeds Funds At times special project and bond proceed funds may be better suited invested outside the Pooled Fund Group. In those cases, the following strategy shall be applicable:

Liquidity - Pooled Fund Groups require short-term liquidity to adequately fund any unanticipated cash outflow. Short-term financial institution deposits, investment pools and money market mutual funds will provide daily liquidity and may be utilized as a competitive yield alternative to fixed maturity investments.

Safety of Principal - All investments will be of high quality with no perceived default risk. Market price fluctuations will occur. However, by managing Special Project and Bond Proceeds to not exceed the anticipated expenditure schedule the market risk of the overall portfolio will be minimized. Maximum maturity five years from date of purchase.

Marketability - Securities with active and efficient secondary markets

Liquidity - Special Project and Bond Proceeds Funds used for capital

Suitability - Any investment eligible in the Investment Policy is suitable for Special Project and Bond Proceeds Funds.

36 | Investment Policy

improvements programs have reasonably predictable draw down schedules. Therefore, investment maturities should generally follow the anticipated cash flow requirements. Short term financial institution deposits, investment pools and money market mutual funds will provide readily available funds generally equal to one month’s anticipated cash flow needs, or a competitive yield alternative for short term fixed maturity investments. A singular repurchase agreement, or similarly structured investment vehicle, may be utilized if disbursements are allowed in the amount necessary to satisfy any expenditure request. This investment structure is commonly referred to as a flexible repurchase agreement. Marketability - Securities with active and efficient secondary markets are necessary in the event of an unanticipated cash flow requirement. Historical market “spreads” between the bid and offer prices of a particular security-type of less than a quarter of a percentage point will define an efficient secondary market. Diversification - Market conditions and arbitrage regulations influence the attractiveness of staggering the maturity of fixed rate investments for Special Project and Bond Proceeds Funds. Generally, when investment rates exceed the applicable cost of borrowing, the City is best served by locking in most investments. If the cost of borrowing cannot be exceeded, then concurrent market conditions will determine the attractiveness of diversifying maturities or investing in shorter and larger amounts. At no time shall the anticipated expenditure schedule be exceeded in an attempt to bolster yield.


Yield - Achieving a positive spread to the cost of borrowing is the desired objective, within the limits of the Investment Policy’s risk constraints. The yield of an equally weighted, rolling six-month Treasury bill portfolio will be the minimum yield objective for non-borrowed funds. (Ord. No. 0-2000-21, 3/22/00) (Ord.

No. 0-2024-101;11/13/24) Sec. 2-49. Investment Officers. The Chief Financial Officer, Controller and Accounting Manager are appointed as Investment Officers. The Investment Officer's authority will be limited by applicable laws, regulations and this Policy. In order to ensure qualified and capable investment management, the City shall provide periodic training in

investments for the investment personnel through courses and seminars offered by professional organizations and associations in compliance with the PFIA. Investment Officers shall attend at least one training session, accumulating at least 10 hours of instruction, within twelve months of assuming their duties. An additional eight hours of training will be required not less than once in a two-year period that begins on the first day of the City’s fiscal year and consists of the two consecutive fiscal years after that date.

As provided for in the PFIA, the standard of care for the City's investments shall be the Prudent Person Rule, which states “investments shall be made with judgment and care, under prevailing circumstances, that a person of prudence,

INVESTMENT POLICY CONTINUED

discretion, and intelligence would exercise in the management of the person's own affairs, not for speculation, but for investment, considering the probable safety of capital and the probable income to be derived.” The overall investment program shall be designed and managed with a degree of care and professionalism that is worthy of the public trust. The Investment Officers shall recognize that the investment activities of the City are a matter of public record and public trust. The Investment Officers, acting in accordance with written procedures and exercising the proper standard of care, shall be relieved of personal responsibility for an individual investment decision, provided that this Policy and the City's procedures were followed. In determining whether an Investment Officer has exercised the proper standard of care, all investments over which the individual had responsibility will be considered rather than a single investment. Investment Officers and employees of the City involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that could conflict with proper execution of the investment program, or which could impair their ability to make impartial investment decisions. Investment Officers and employees of the City involved in the investment process shall not utilize investment advice concerning specific investments or classes of investments obtained in the transaction of the City's business for personal investment decisions, shall in all respects subordinate their personal investment transaction to those of the City particularly with regard to the timing of purchases and sales, and shall keep confidential all investment advice obtained on behalf of the City and all transactions contemplated and completed by the City, except when disclosure is required by law. All Investment Officers of the City shall file with the Texas Ethics Commission and the City Council a statement disclosing any personal business relationship with a business organization offering to engage in an investment transaction with the City or any relationship within the second degree by affinity or consanguinity to an individual seeking to sell investments to the City. The City shall develop written administrative procedures and internal controls consistent with this Policy for the operation of the City’s investment program. Such procedures shall be designed to prevent losses of public funds arising from fraud, employee error, misrepresentation by third parties, or imprudent actions by employees of the City. The internal control structure shall be designed to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management. The internal controls shall address the following points: • Avoidance of collusion, • Separation of transactions authority from accounting and record keeping, • Custodial safekeeping, 38 | Investment Policy


• Avoidance of physical delivery securities,

INVESTMENT POLICY CONTINUED

This Policy does not apply to an investment donated to the City for a particular purpose or under terms of use specified by the donor (Section 2256.004). (Ord. No. 0-98-21; 3/18/98) (Ord. No. 0-2000-21, 3/22/00) (Ord. No. 0-2001-51, 10/24/01) (Ord. No. 0-2002-54, 11/13/2002) (0-2003-65, 11/26/03) (Ord. 0-2004-87, 11/10/04) (Ord. 0-2005-91, 11/9/05) (Ord. No. O-2006-93, 11/8/06) (Ord.

No. 0-202397; 10/11/23) (Ord. No. 0-2024-101;11/13/24) Sec. 2-52. Investment Limits. It is the City’s policy to diversify its investment portfolio. Invested funds shall be diversified to minimize risk or loss resulting from over-concentration of assets in a specific maturity, specific issuer, or specific class of investment, where appropriate. Cash flow projections shall be utilized to spread investment maturities, smooth market fluctuations, and reduce reinvestment risk. The maturity of an investment largely dictates its price volatility. Therefore, the City shall concentrate its investment portfolio in shorter-term maturities to protect market valuation from unanticipated rate movements. The City will attempt to avoid over-investment in cash equivalent investments and match a portion of its investments with anticipated cash flow requirements. The asset allocation in the portfolio will vary depending upon those requirements and the outlook for the economy and the security markets. (Ord. No. 0-98-21; 3/18/98) (Ord.

Sales tax is the largest of the General Fund’s revenue sources, representing 44 percent of the fund’s total revenues. Actual collections for FY 2024–2025 are projected to exceed budgeted amounts. For FY 2025– 2026, the City is projecting a 3 percent increase in sales tax revenue compared to the current year’s projected collections. This growth projection reflects the continued strength and diversification of the Tyler economy. The City has

experienced steady population growth, expanding retail development, and strong consumer spending trends that contribute to higher sales tax receipts. New commercial investments, along with the sustained performance of local businesses, have further supported Tyler’s position as a regional retail and service hub for East Texas. Conservative forecasting practices are applied to ensure projections remain realistic while accounting for both local and national economic conditions.

PROPERTY TAX

Property tax is the General Fund’s second-largest single source of revenue, representing 32 percent of total General Fund revenues. As indicated in the chart below, taxable property values have increased steadily over the past ten years. The current property tax rate is $0.236452 per $100 of assessed value. Although the City has continued the constrained spending philosophy demonstrated during the prior fiscal year’s budget and operating cycle, the adopted tax rate will ensure the City of Tyler can maintain its current levels of service to residents and businesses. The City’s longstanding philosophy has been to follow a “pay-as-you-go” approach for construction and capital projects rather than relying on debt financing. The City paid off all remaining tax-supported debt issues in FY 2007–2008, which has since allowed Tyler to sustain a lower total property tax rate over the past decade while continuing to invest in infrastructure and essential public services.

FRANCHISES

Franchise taxes represent approximately 12 percent of total General Fund revenues for FY 2025–2026. The City collects franchise fees from electric, gas, water, telephone, and cable service providers for the use of public rights-of-way. Revenues from electric, gas, and water franchises are based on customer usage and tend to fluctuate with seasonal weather patterns, particularly during peak summer and winter months. Telephone franchise fees have experienced a gradual decline in recent years due to the continued transition from traditional landline services to wireless and Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP) technologies. Similarly, cable franchise revenues have become less stable as more customers shift to streaming services and alternative digital media platforms. Despite these changes, franchise taxes remain an important and diversified source of revenue for the City.

FINES AND PENALTIES

Fees and fines represent approximately 5 percent of total General Fund revenues. The City has historically reviewed revenue collections for major categories and used these trends to guide future projections. Fines and penalties are one such category that continues to benefit from consistent monitoring and process improvements. A more effective and well-publicized warrant sweep program has been in place for many years, helping to increase compliance and collections. Additionally, the Municipal Court has implemented license plate recognition software in the Marshal’s Unit to assist with identifying and processing outstanding warrants. Continued efforts are being made to improve fine collections and to encourage voluntary payment through enhanced outreach and enforcement initiatives. 49 | Budget Summary – All Funds

DEVELOPMENT SERVICES

As indicated by the chart below, Development Services revenues for FY 2025–2026 are projected at $3,110,333, an increase from the FY 2024–2025 appropriated budget of $2,431,484. Development Services revenue projections are determined through ongoing trend analysis, which evaluates historical activity levels and anticipated development patterns within the community.

To more accurately track revenues and expenditures related to development activities, the City established a separate Development Services Fund in FY 2005–2006. Continued review of these trends enables the City to adjust fees as necessary to ensure that revenues remain aligned with the costs of providing permitting, inspection, planning, and related service activities.

HOTEL/MOTEL TAX

Revenues in the Hotel/Motel Tax Fund are projected to increase by 8.66 percent over FY 2024–2025 projections. This increase is based on continued collection of the seven percent occupancy tax, as well as an additional two percent occupancy tax dedicated to the development of new or expanded visitor facilities, which was approved by the State Legislature in June 2011. Collections are expected to rise as the local and regional economy continues to strengthen, tourism activity increases, and visitor stays in Tyler grow. Expenditures to outside agencies are projected to increase by 16.03

percent, primarily reflecting adjustments related to the distribution of increased Hotel Tax collections among funded organizations and tourism partners.

TOURISM AND CONVENTION FUND

Revenues in the Tourism and Conventions Fund are projected to remain relatively constant for FY 2025–2026. Rental and concession revenues are projected using trend analysis based on historical performance and anticipated event activity levels. This approach ensures that revenue estimates remain realistic and aligned with current tourism and convention trends within the City of Tyler.

GENERAL DEBT SERVICE FUND

The City of Tyler no longer carries or supports any tax-supported debt obligations, reflecting the City’s long-standing commitment to conservative fiscal management and its pay-as-you-go funding philosophy.

HOUSING ASSISTANCE PAYMENTS FUND

The Housing Assistance Payments Program (HAPP), commonly known as Section 8, remains one of the largest sources of grant funding for the City of Tyler. The FY 2025–2026 budget for this program is consistent with the prior fiscal year. HAPP provides rental assistance to low-income families, helping them secure safe and affordable housing within the community. The City of Tyler continues to pursue additional funding opportunities to expand housing support and related services through programs such as the Family Self-Sufficiency Program, the Tenant Protection Program, and the Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (VASH) Program. These efforts strengthen the City’s commitment to improving housing stability and promoting economic independence among participating families.

STATE AND FEDERAL GRANT FUND

All state and federal grants are budgeted based on the amounts awarded by the respective granting agencies. Major grants awarded for the upcoming fiscal year include the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Planning Grant and the Transportation Security

Administration (TSA) Grant. All grants within this fund are structured as reimbursement-based grants, meaning expenditures are incurred by the City and subsequently reimbursed by the granting agency.

TRANSIT SYSTEM FUND

Tyler Transit is the public transportation system operated by the City of Tyler to provide safe, reliable, and accessible mobility options for residents. Previously operating six fixed routes, the system transitioned to a MicroTransit model on January 13, 2025. Under this new on-demand service model, all former bus stops now serve as designated pick-up locations, and riders can request trips through a mobile app or by phone. This change was implemented to improve service flexibility, reduce wait times, and better meet the community’s transportation needs. Paratransit services continue to be available for eligible passengers under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) through a contracted provider, ensuring equitable access for individuals who require scheduled or specialized transportation. Funding for Tyler Transit is provided through a combination of transit fares, local matching funds from the City of Tyler, and grant funding from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). These resources support the continued operation, maintenance, and enhancement of the City’s public transportation system, helping to strengthen connectivity and improve quality of life for residents.

UTILITIES FUND

As indicated by the chart below, Utility Fund revenues for FY 2025–2026 are projected at $65,646,934, which is a decrease from the FY 2024–2025 budget of $67,935,894. The major sources of revenue for the Utilities Fund are water and sewer charges, which are based on comprehensive rate studies. Although the most recent rate study identified the need for phased increases to align revenue with system costs and future infrastructure needs, the City has chosen to hold base water and sewer rates flat for FY 2025–2026. This decision reflects the City’s commitment to balancing affordability for customers with ongoing investment in system upgrades and the transition from a declining rate structure to a uniform volumetric rate over a five-year period.

UTILITIES DEBT SERVICE FUND

The Utilities Debt Service Fund accumulates resources for the semiannual principal and interest payments on all utility revenue debt. As of October 1, 2025, total outstanding revenue bond debt will amount to $218,475,000. The current debt service requirement for this revenue debt is $17,054,753, including interest. The City of Tyler continues to evaluate capital improvement projects annually to determine the most appropriate and cost-effective funding sources. This ongoing review ensures that major infrastructure investments are strategically planned, financially sustainable, and aligned with the City’s long-term utility system needs.

AIRPORT OPERATING FUND

As indicated by the chart below, Airport Operating revenues for FY 2025–2026 are projected at $1,685,247, reflecting a

decrease from the FY 2024–2025 budget. The reduction is primarily due to the use of all remaining American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds that had previously been applied to support operations during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The primary sources of revenue for the Airport Operating Fund are long-term parking and car rental lease agreements. Other major sources include airline facility rentals and hangar leases, both of which are projected using trend analysis based on historical activity and occupancy rates. The airport’s wash bay facility for rental car companies, which opened in FY 2013–2014, continues to provide a steady source of supplemental revenue. Transfers from the Customer Facility Fund will also provide the necessary resources for debt service obligations.

SOLID WASTE FUND

The Solid Waste Fund provides for the administration, operation, and maintenance of the City’s solid waste system, which includes collection, recycling, and litter control services. Revenues for FY 2025–2026 are projected at $18,759,736, representing a decrease from the FY 2024–2025 budget of $19,335,203. The primary sources of revenue for the Solid Waste Fund include residential, commercial, and roll-off service charges. The decrease in revenues is attributed to maintaining a flat base collection rate for both residential and commercial customers, as determined through the City’s annual review of the Consumer Price Index (CPI).

STORM WATER FUND

The Storm Water Fund is responsible for the maintenance, management, and regulatory compliance of the City’s storm water system. Revenue for this fund is currently collected as 7 percent of water charges and is restricted for storm drainage improvements and related compliance activities. Beginning January 2026, the City is planning to transition from the flat percentage approach to an impervious-surface–based fee, so that properties with larger amounts of hard surface (and therefore more runoff) pay proportionally more. Until that transition occurs, the 7 percent rate remains in effect for FY 2025–2026.

Staff members are responsible for maintenance of dams and spillways, outlet works and associated appurtenances, as well as monitoring of the watershed for active or potential sources of pollution. This division also provides park and grounds maintenance, road and drainage maintenance, and facility construction and maintenance. GIS provides mapping and analysis on 415 different layers for virtually every department in the City. Mapping and information services of these products are provided to the public through GIS mapping websites. GIS performs analysis on data to aid in the decisionmaking process of other departments. GIS participates in the local GIS consortium providing mapping products in a much lower cost environment than consortium partners could achieve on their own while maximizing the use of data and information from multiple governmental entities. The department

is also responsible for addressing parcels inside the City limits. City of Tyler Purchasing staff members are responsible for oversight of the competitive bid processes, maintaining bidder lists, bid notices, purchase orders and ensuring the purchasing process complies with generally accepted purchasing policy standards and practices, not only for Tyler Water Utilities, but for the City of Tyler as a whole.
