The initiatives outlined are designed not just to address the needs of today but to lay the foundation for a thriving tomorrow. We will continue to invest in our infrastructure, nurture our local businesses and empower our youth and future leaders.

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to each one of you for your invaluable contributions to our community.

Your dedication inspires us all and fuels our determination to create a resilient future together.

Together, we will celebrate successes, overcome challenges and continue to build a city that we are all proud to call home. In closing, I extend my warmest wishes to you and your loved ones for a year of resilience, progress and unparalleled community spirit. May 2024 be a year of realignment, growth and determination. With optimism and gratitude, KEVIN COLE Mayor, City of Pearland
of our wonderful city. Pearland has always been a community defined by its resilience, unity and unwavering spirit, and these qualities shine brighter than ever as we approach the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in 2024. The past year, 2023, posed significant challenges for our community due to a tax valuation bust, a change in leadership and continued inflation. However, it is during these times of adversity that our true strength as a community emerges. Together, we faced the hurdles head-on, displaying remarkable resilience and determination. Your continuous support, dedication and positivity have not only carried us through these challenges but also inspired us to realign our strategies and emerge stronger and more focused. As we look ahead to 2024, I am filled with hope and enthusiasm. The Fiscal Year 2024 Budget is a testament to our shared commitment to realigning for resilience. We have carefully crafted plans and initiatives that reflect our aspirations as a community. This year, our focus remains on enhancing the quality of life for all residents, fostering economic growth
INNOVATION + IMPROVEMENT
BUDGET OVERVIEW
An organization’s purpose drives continuous innovation and improvement; this motivation moves our City ever forward. Everyone has a take on what lies at the heart of public service. Here are just a few examples from City of Pearland employees: Building a strong community by providing vital public services to all fairly and equitably. Making the lives of our citizens better. Creating an attractive and safe community where citizens and businesses will realize value in establishing roots. The City kept “resiliency” at the center of the conversation in developing the Fiscal Year 2024 Budget, ensuring effective investment, growth and development of core services that make our community receptive to changes.
DRAINAGE INVESTMENT In FY24, an additional $112,000 (for a total of $1.9 million) will be used for preventive drainage maintenance. In addition, a storm water drain inspector was hired for this fiscal year. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS Our Capital Improvements Plan has $850.7 million committed to projects within the next five years. The vast majority of that amount—$429.7 million—is needed for water and wastewater improvements. These needs are repaid by users of the systems from the City’s Enterprise Fund, which operates as a business and charges rates to ensure the fund is self-supporting. Of the remaining $421 million, $118.6 million is dedicated to street projects.
