Coppell council adopts Crime Control District budget funding SROs and radios
Summary
Council closed the public hearing and adopted the Crime Control & Prevention District FY27 budget after staff outlined a $4.4 million revenue estimate and about $6.4 million in expenditures, including funding for 14 school resource officers and $1.3 million in radio replacements; Coppell ISD thanked the city for the partnership.
City staff presented the proposed FY27 budget for the Coppell Crime Control & Prevention District, explaining revenues are estimated at about $4.4 million (roughly $4.3 million from the district’s 0.25% sales tax) and total expenditures are projected at about $6.4 million.
The spending plan allocates approximately $2.3 million for salary and benefits for 14 school resource officers (SROs) and one administrative compliance officer, roughly $2.5 million for services (including joint emergency communications and jail services with neighboring cities), and about $1.3 million in capital outlay for police radio replacements. Ms. Tian explained those capital radio replacements account for the capital outlay line in the budget.
Randy Fite, chief operations officer for Coppell ISD, thanked the city for its ongoing support: "The city's financial commitment to providing school resource officers to ensure the safety and security of our students, staff and families is something we do not take lightly," he said.
After public comment and council discussion, Mayor Pro Tem moved to close the public hearing and adopt the CCPD proposed budget; the motion carried with unanimous votes from members present. The budget adoption will be included in the city's overall FY27 budget adoption scheduled for September 8.
