Public Works - Streets: The focus of the Street Department is to manage, maintain, and develop
the City's Street system. The FY 2026 proposed budget for the Streets Department is $143.9M
and includes funding from the Street Maintenance Fund, Residential Street Reconstruction Fund,
and Capital Improvement Program. The FY 2026 budget includes$143.9M for street maintenance
and reconstruction which includes Residential and Arterial & Collectors. The FY 2026 Street
capital budget contains projects that maintain or improve roadway infrastructure, ensure adequate
street lighting, comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements, and promote
safe and efficient traffic flow.
Public Works — Storm Water: The focus of the Storm Water Department is to collect and convey
storm water, protect life and property from storm flooding and protect water quality. In FY 2022,
the City joined other major Texas cities and approved a Storm Water maintenance program. A
five-year program was presented with improvements and corresponding projected fee
adjustments for each year. City staff is recommending a Storm Water fee increase in FY 2026 to
fund improvements in the five-year plan and inflation. The Storm Water rate has three residential
tiers: 1) Tier 1 parcels have an impervious cover of less than 3,000 sq. ft. - monthly rate will
increase by $0.95, from $7.74 to $8.69; 2) Tier 2 parcels have an impervious cover of 3,000 sq.
ft. —4,500 sq. ft. - monthly rate will increase by$1.27, from $10.32 to$11.59; and 3)Tier 3 parcels
have an impervious cover of greater than 4,500 sq. ft. - monthly rate will increase by $2.22, from
$18.06 to $20.28. A non-residential customer (all other accounts) currently has a monthly fee of
$10.32 per storm water unit which will increase to $11.59 per storm water unit. The FY 2026
combined proposed operating and capital budget for the Storm Water Department is $63.6M and
includes funding from the Storm Water Fund and the Capital Improvement Program. FY 2026 is
