BUDGET OVERVIEW
Innovation + Improvement An organization’s purpose drives continuous innovation and improvement; this motivation moves our City ever-forward. Everyone has his own take on what lies at the heart of public service. Here are just a few examples from City of Pearland employees: Community building, providing vital public services to all fairly and equitably. Making the lives better for our citizens. Creating an attractive and safe community where citizens and businesses will realize value in establishing roots. This year, the City kept “resiliency” at the center of the conversation in developing the Fiscal Year 2022 Budget, ensuring effective investment, growth and development of core services that make our community receptive to changes.
Public Safety Investment Pearland continues its commitment to invest in Public Safety staff, resources, training and technology. This year, expenditures for Police and Fire represented 56% ($55.2 million) of the General Fund budget. The departments received $3.9M more than in last year’s budget. In 2022, this money will be used to hire one new police officer, increase compensation and make needed capital replacements. Capital Improvements Our Capital Improvements Plan has $479.5 million committed to projects in the next five years. The vast majority of $292.5 million is needed for water and wastewater improvements. Those needs are repaid by users of the systems, from the City’s Enterprise Fund that operates as a business, charging rates to ensure the fund is self- supporting. Of the remaining $187 million, $61.7 million is for new street widening or extensions across Pearland. $479.5 million worth of projects planned through 2026 $292.5 million water and wastewater improvement $61.7 million new street widening or extensions
