Ennis City Commission adopts CCPD 2025–26 budget amid projected sales-tax decline
Summary
The Ennis City Commission on Aug. 14 adopted the Ennis Crime Control and Prevention District (CCPD) fiscal year 2025–26 budget after a staff presentation that said declining sales-tax receipts — the CCPD's sole revenue source — reduced projected revenues and expenditures. There was no public comment.
The Ennis City Commission on Aug. 14 adopted a resolution approving the fiscal year 2025–26 budget for the Ennis Crime Control and Prevention District (CCPD) after a brief presentation and no public comment.
Mayor Cameron Rayburn opened the meeting, announced the public hearing for Item B‑1 and noted that the CCPD had met twice this year (June 26 and July 1, 2025) and forwarded its approved budget to the commission. "At this time, I will go ahead and open the public hearing. The time is now 06:06PM," Rayburn said when opening the hearing.
A city staff member told the commission that state statute and municipal code require the commission to adopt the CCPD budget prior to the city's comprehensive budget. The staff presentation said the police and finance departments had prepared the spending plan and that it "does show a decline in the expected expenditures and revenues for the CCPD ... due to the decline we're seeing in sales tax, which is the only source of revenue for the CCPD," according to the presenter.
Mayor Rayburn asked staff to confirm the document before the commission matched the CCPD-approved budget the district adopted July 1 and noted the addition of an FY 2025 adopted-budget column to provide a baseline for comparison; staff confirmed it was the same budget that had been approved at the CCPD meeting.
Rayburn opened the public hearing at 6:06 p.m., called for speakers and, with no one requesting to speak, closed the hearing at 6:07 p.m. Commissioner Haney moved to approve the resolution to adopt the CCPD budget for FY 2025–26; Mayor Pro Tem Isbell seconded. The commission vocalized "aye," and Rayburn declared the resolution adopted. The meeting was adjourned at 6:09 p.m.
The resolution adopts the CCPD spending plan as forwarded by the district and does not, in the transcript, specify additional implementing actions or amendments. The staff presentation emphasized that projected reductions in sales-tax receipts were driving a lower revenue estimate for the CCPD; the budget documents presented included an added column showing the FY 2025 adopted budget for comparison.
