Title
Ordinance on first and final reading with the caption reading: An ordinance of the City of Pflugerville, Texas, adopting the second amendment to the Fiscal Year 2026 Budget for the City; and providing an effective date.
Summary
Per City Charter, section 9.04 (a), City Council may approve supplemental appropriations where there are revenues available for appropriation in excess of those estimated in the budget.
Per City Charter, section 9.04 (d) At any time during the fiscal year the manager may transfer part or all of any unencumbered appropriation balance among programs within a department, division, or office. Upon written request by the manager, the council by ordinance may transfer part or all of any unencumbered appropriation balance from one department, office, or agency to another.
General Fund: This amendment is necessary to appropriate additional funds for several FY25 carryover items for parks and recreation. These were contracts encumbered during FY25 with funds available in that budget. When the FY26 budget was considered, the legal department was in transition to an in-house legal team. There are some salary savings in this department but the third party legal fees have been higher than anticipated due to an active law suit. We anticipate needing the additional appropriations being requested to not exceed budget. Additional expenses were incurred due to the run-off election. We are requesting an additional Full Time position in People and Culture to be able to facilitate the hiring of staff needed to operate the Monarch. The hiring process must begin in advance of the facility opening. This position would be transferred to the Monarch budget for FY27.
Water Wastewater Fund: This amendment is for an additional Full Time position in the Utility Billing Department. The customer service demand is greater than the current staff can address. This position would be specifically assigned to following up on emails and voice mail and processing mail in payments.
Utility Debt Service Fund: This amendment is needed to increase the budget to account for bond issuance costs. Normally the bond issuance costs are covered from the bond proceeds. However, the recent Texas Water Development Board bonds that were closed did not allow for this and the CIty had to paid all closing costs upfront.
Solid Waste Fund: This amendment is needed to appropriate the fee for contract negotiations with Waste Connections.
Vehicle and Equipment Replacement Fund: This is a new fund in FY26 that just had a budgeted transfer in. The policy and replacement schedule were a priority for FY26. Since the adoption of the budget the City has experienced several police vehicles that have been totaled in accidents and one vehicle that is in need of retirement. These vehicles will be paid out of this new fund, using a portion of the transferred funds.
Pflugerville Community Development Corporation Fund (PCDC): This amendment is needed to appropriate the funds to support the board approval of a grant to the City for Wells Point Park Improvements. These funds were originally appropriated in the FY25 budget but the board approval did not occur until Oct. 15, 2025 (FY26).
Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone #1 (TIRZ) Fund: This amendment appropriates the funds needed to complete the parking structure in the Downtown East project which Council approved on October 14, 2025. This is a partial funding of this project, the balance coming from Certificates of Obligation 2023.
