City Manager Message The City of Hurst fiscal year closed on September 30, 2024. At the close of each fiscal year, we commence our annual independent audit of the City?s financial performance. W hile this is critical to the City?s sustained success over the years, we also undertake a review of operations utilizing our ?Hurst Way?approach through a passion for public service, a focus on financial sustainability, and conducting operations with an emphasis on customer service. The Annual Report cannot adequately cover the City?s various operations for Fiscal Year 2024, but we are proud to report some impactful accomplishments that make our City continue to be a Community built on connection.

Under the City Council?s strategic leadership and direction, staff works CLAY CARUTHERS diligently to ensure operations and services align with and support the City Manager Council?s five strategic priorities. These priorities are reviewed annually with consideration of feedback from the citizen survey, town hall forum, and the City Council?s vision for our community and serve as the guide for planning our annual budget.

We have continued to build upon recent efforts to partner with the private sector in economic development, focusing on targeted redevelopment projects with regional partners, especially around planning efforts related to Highway 10. We are expanding our Art in Public Places and funding technological improvements and replacements of critical police and fire equipment with a continued focus on conservative budget measures and strong financial management.

Like many employers, we faced challenges over the past year, including expanding regulations, increasing technology and construction costs, natural workforce turnover, and a slowing economy. Despite the obstacles, Hurst remains committed to financial planning and practices that allow us to manage through various economic and workforce trends. Our knowledgeable and dedicated staff are key to our success as they seek solutions and offer training to new employees to ensure continued application of the Hurst Way and Strategic Priorities.

I hope you feel encouraged after reading through this report and learning how your tax dollars are reinvested in our community and support the services and operations that help ensure a quality of life community. I look forward to continued success in our community and seeing what lies ahead for the City of Hurst. To learn more about the upcoming Fiscal Year 2025 budget, please visit hursttx.gov/ budget. I appreciate your interest in the annual report, and on behalf of our entire staff, we are honored to serve you and our community.

ALERRTTrainingfor PoliceOfficers

Jail Partnership

In the last regular legislative session, the State mandated that all sworn officers receive ALERRT (Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training) training by August 31 of 2025.

This training ensures the safety of our residents in an active killer event. hurst t x.gov/ police

Hurst entered into an agreement with the Euless Police Department to provide required jail services for Hurst, Euless and Bedford. The efficiency of booking by Euless staff has reduced officer time committment in an arrest.

It has been a positive collaboration between the three cities.
