On June 16, 2025 the Dallas City Council approved a supplemental budget for fiscal year 2024–25, moved to increase a Public Works OEM grant from $5,000 to $50,000 and approved removing the Police Station Capital Fund and the related General Obligation fund from the draft FY25–26 budget. The council later adopted the FY25–26 budget and related budget resolutions, each by unanimous votes.

Finance Director Cecilia Ward explained the supplemental adjustments at the public hearing, telling the council that the city increased the risk management fund because "the cost of property insurance was more than we thought when we budgeted and also workers' comp." Ward also said the trust funds required an amendment because donations were higher than expected and the revenue must be balanced with expenditures in the fiscal accounting period.

During the FY25–26 budget public hearing, staff recommended two council motions: increase the Public Works OEM grant from $5,000 to $50,000 to reflect the actual award, and to remove the Police Station Capital Fund and the General Obligation Fund since a police station ballot measure had not passed. City staff asked the council to approve the first motion to amend the grant lines in the adopted budget; Councilor Schilling moved to amend the Public Works OEM grant lines from $5,000 to $50,000 and Councilor Shane seconded. The motion passed by voice vote.

Councilor Schilling then moved to remove the Police Station Capital Fund and the General Obligation Fund from the FY25–26 budget; the motion was seconded and passed unanimously. Staff later returned an adopted budget resolution and related resolutions required for the city to levy taxes and receive state-shared revenue. City Recorder roll calls showed unanimous 9–0 votes for the supplemental budget resolution and the FY25–26 budget resolution.

The supplemental budget also included increases below the 10% threshold in some general fund revenues and modest adjustments to the building inspection fund and grant fund where receipted grants arrived before the new fiscal year. Ward said the fire department had increased ambulance revenue and that certain grant receipts (for staffing) arrived earlier than expected and would be spent in the next fiscal year.

Several councilors and staff discussed funding sources and next steps. Staff said they were preparing a second cost estimate for the police station design, would arrange facility tours requested by council members, and would bring consolidated cost and financing information to the July 7 work session. The council approved the budget and associated financing/resolution actions by unanimous votes.
