Missouri City Council on May 19 approved an amendment to the fiscal 2025 budget that increases revenues and expenses across multiple funds, creates operational reserves for utilities, and adds two full‑time positions, officials said.
Bertha Alexander, chief budget and performance officer, told the council the amendment increases insurance reimbursement revenue by $1,533,970 to account for payments from TML related to hurricane damage and raises general‑fund building improvements by $6,100,000 for mold remediation, restoration, remodeling and expansion of the city center.
The changes also raise CAD appraisal services expense by $315,000 to cover higher appraisal costs tied to increased assessed property values and add $34,781 for replacement shade sails and related parks supplies. Donations totaling $20,000 were recorded for Snowfest and solar lights at Community Park, Alexander said. The net impact to the general fund from the listed adjustments is a decrease of $5,100,000, leaving a budgeted fund balance of $27,200,000.
Alexander described amendments in other funds: a $149,382 contribution from Quail Valley toward construction of a cart pass at La Quinta was recorded in the Metro Fund and increased infrastructure improvements by $905,000; the Transportation Project Fund increased infrastructure improvements by $143,563 to fund an irrigation valve and a building demolition at the golf course; and multiple utility funds recorded insurance reimbursements and expenses related to hurricane damage, with an operational reserve of $150,000 created for wastewater repairs.
The amendment transfers $475,629 between Mustang Bayou shared water and Mustang Bayou shared wastewater to realign fund balances and creates a $200,000 operational reserve for Mustang Bayou shared wastewater. Exhibit B of the ordinance increases the authorized full‑time position count from 456 to 458 to fund the director of internal services and an assistant police chief, Alexander said.
City Manager Angel Jones introduced the consent items and Alexander led the budget presentation. Council Member Boney moved approval of the ordinance; Council Member Emery seconded. The motion carried unanimously.
