Coppell city staff presented the proposed fiscal 2025–26 budget for the Coppell Crime Control and Prevention District (CCPD) at a public hearing Aug. 12, noting the district's revenues are primarily sales tax and that the draft budget includes full funding for the city's school resource officers (SROs) without reimbursement from the school district.

Staff member Miss Tien said the CCPD is a special-purpose tax district created under Chapter 363 of the Texas Local Government Code and that funding comes from a one-quarter-cent sales tax. She described estimated revenues of about $4.3 million for the coming fiscal year, with sales tax estimated at roughly $4.1 million (about 97% of CCPD revenues) and a 5% increase in the sales-tax estimate over last year’s original budget.

On expenditures, staff said total proposed CCPD spending is about $4.4 million, including roughly $2.2 million for salary and benefits related to 14 SROs and one administrative compliance officer. The services category was estimated at about $1.9 million and includes payments to the North Texas Emergency Communication Center for E-911 dispatch services and continuation of a contract with Grapevine for jail services. Staff also described a transfer of about $153,000 to a capital replacement fund for vehicle replacement.

Miss Tien said the Crime Control Board had held a public hearing earlier and directed staff to remove the Coppell Independent School District reimbursement for the SRO program from the draft budget; the CCPD budget as presented therefore includes the full SRO cost. Council Member Matthew confirmed the SRO positions and the $2.2 million figure; staff clarified how reimbursements from the school district would have been applied only when SROs were performing duties at campuses. With no citizens signed up to speak, Mayor Pro Tem Carroll moved to close the hearing and approve the CCPD item; the council voted unanimously to approve item 11 and close the hearing.
