The last update to the development fees was in September of
2015. The project types include plats, site plans, and zoning cases,
among others. A comparison was done between Prosper's fees and

spent on these cases was made.Based on this information, it is
proposed to modify almost all fees, as well as add new project fees
for open space and landscape plans.

with the current fee schedule including:
• Better aligning fees with comparison cities
• Reflects time to conduct inspections annually

Continuous Improvement
•Operational Review Team - dedicated to evaluating organizational processes,
identifying opportunities for improvement, and ensuring that operations align
with strategic vision. By conducting thorough assessments, analyzing
performance data, and engaging with staff across departments, the team
provides actionable recommendations that enhance efficiency, strengthen
accountability, and support long-term success.
•Consolidated Fleet Function - centralizes the management, maintenance, and
oversight of all non-public safety vehicles and equipment across the
organization. By bringing these resources under one coordinated function, the
team improves efficiency, reduces costs, and ensures consistent standards for
safety, reliability, and service delivery.
•Risk Management - focuses on identifying, assessing, and mitigating potential
risks that could impact operations, assets, or personnel. Working with a
consultant, the team is setting up programs that will strengthen safety practices,
reduce exposures, ensure compliance, and build long-term resilience across the
organization.
Sensitivity Analysis
Elastic revenue sources are those that grow (or shrink) in response to changes in
the economy, population, or community activity. These revenues expand when the
economy grows and contracts during downturns.
•Sales Tax (19.8%)
•Highly sensitive to local retail, economic factors, and consumer spending
•Franchise Fees (7%)
•Tied to consumption patterns impacted by rates and weather
•Development Related Fees (11.9%)
•Tied to construction and growth cycles
•Court Fines & Fees (< 1%)
•Influenced by law enforcement activities and ability to pay fines
Mitigation Strategies
•Pause on hiring vacant positions
•Limit non-essential overtime
•Delay new position start dates
•Reduced Vehicle/Equipment Replacement Fund (VERF) contributions
•Travel and training reduction or elimination
•Pause or scale back professional services not immediately required
•Defer non-essential maintenance
•Discretionary spending freeze
•Reduce service hours
•Delay capital purchases/replacement purchases
•Cancel or reduce the scope of community events
Budget in Brief
Total FY 2025-2026 Proposed Budget Operating Appropriations $124,647,464
including:

Key General Fund Revenue Drivers
For FY 2025-2026, General Fund revenues are expected to total $68,240,564
which is an increase of 32.8% over the previous year’s amended budget. This
large increase in additional revenue is driven mostly from the transfer in of the
Special Purpose Districts to pay for Public Safety personnel that are now located in
the General Fund. Other increases come from property tax, sales tax, and
franchise fees.
The Proposed Budget reflects 7.2% growth from FY 2024-2025 year-end projected
sales tax receipts. This is the seventh year for the Special Purpose Districts that
receive sales tax that had been previously reported in the General Fund. The
General Fund is projecting sales tax revenue of $13,199,055 for FY 2025-2026.
