Summary
Council accepted the CCPD Board's FY26 budget recommendation to be included in the town’s overall budget process; staff and board noted one line‑item adjustment (equipment stripping) would be removed.
The Town Council accepted the fiscal‑year 2026 budget recommendation from the Argyle Crime Control & Prevention District (CCPD) Board of Directors at the June 16 meeting. The acceptance places the CCPD’s recommended expenditures into the town’s broader budget process for final consideration.
Chief Reeves (present at the meeting) and CCPD board president Bill Reeves (also present) reviewed the proposed CCPD budget and said one line‑item—stripping equipment from older vehicles to transfer to newer ones—would be removed because the department plans to purchase fully outfitted vehicles going forward. Staff characterized the FY26 CCPD spending plan as slightly smaller than the prior year because the department was postponing one vehicle purchase to preserve capacity for a larger planned capital item in coming years.
Council asked about major items in the CCPD budget, including body- and in-car camera refresh cycles that are procured on multi‑year contracts. Staff explained the typical procurement/refresh arrangements for Axon equipment and how vehicle equipment is managed and auctioned when vehicles are retired. The CCPD’s projected ending fund balance and revenue sources were included in the board packet; staff noted the district collects roughly $0.25 in sales tax on in‑town retail activity (quarter‑cent) and that the district’s annual receipts vary with actual taxable sales.
Council accepted the CCPD budget recommendation and instructed staff to include it in the town’s FY26 budget packet for public hearings and final adoption.
