BUDGET TIMELINE

Budget Basics CITY OF ODESSA, TEXAS A budget is a financial plan that outlines how funds are received, allocated, and spent. The blueprint helps the City of Odessa use taxpayer dollars strategically to provide the services our community needs today while also investing in the future. The City receives revenue through sources like sales tax, property tax, hotel occupancy tax, franchise fees, permits, and charges for services. These funds are used to provide the services that keep Odessa safe, clean, and growing. The budget allocates funding to essential City services and priorities, including public safety, streets and infrastructure, parks and recreation, and community development. A portion of available funds is also maintained in reserves, providing financial stability and resources for emergencies, unexpected expenses, and future needs. When expenses exceed revenue, the City may need to make adjustments, such as using available reserves, delaying projects, reducing costs, or identifying additional revenue sources. When revenue exceeds expenses, the City can strengthen its reserves and invest in future priorities. The goal is to maintain a balanced and responsible budget that meets the community’s needs today while ensuring Odessa remains financially strong and prepared for the future.

AN INTRODUCTION FROM THE MAYOR Before we begin exploring the FY 2026-2027 budget, Mayor Cal Hendrick shares a message about the City’s priorities, growth, and commitment to the Odessa community. The City of Odessa continues to grow and evolve, bringing new opportunities and responsibilities for our community. This budget reflects our commitment to maintaining essential services, investing in infrastructure, supporting public safety, and planning for Odessa’s future while remaining responsible with taxpayer dollars. Every day, City employees work to provide the services that residents rely on, from maintaining roads and utilities to supporting parks, public safety, development, and community programs. This budget helps ensure those services continue while also preparing Odessa for long-term growth and success. As Mayor, I believe it is important that residents understand how the budget process works and how City resources are invested back into the community. The FY 2026–2027 budget was developed with a focus on operational needs, infrastructure improvements, workforce support, and quality-of-life initiatives that help make Odessa a strong place to live, work, and raise a family. This budget also reflects the dedication of our City Council, City staff, and community partners who work together to address challenges, support economic development, and continue moving Odessa forward. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about the City of Odessa’s budget process and the services that support our community each day. Sincerely,

Mayor Cal Hendrick City of Odessa

INVESTING IN ODESSA

MAINTAINING WHAT MATTERS

The City’s budget focuses on providing the essential services our community depends on every day. To help keep pace with rising costs and ongoing infrastructure needs, the proposed budget includes a 3% rate increase for Water & Sewer, Solid Waste, and Stormwater. These revenues help maintain reliable services and support the long-term health of our systems.

ROADWAYS: THE COST OF KEEPING ODESSA MOVING

Roadway needs remain a priority, but construction costs continue to rise. Here’s what it costs to build just one mile of roadway:

$5 MILLION - $6 MILLION Approximate cost to construct one mile of a five-lane roadway.

At current construction costs, available funding cannot address every roadway need at once. The City must balance investments in streets and infrastructure with other essential services, including Police, Fire & Rescue, water, sewer, solid waste and stormwater services.

THE BOTTOM LINE With approximately $15 million available for roadway needs, the City must prioritize projects based on available funding, infrastructure needs and community impact. Rising construction costs mean roadway improvements must be carefully planned and completed over time.

EVERY DOLLAR MUST BE PRIORITIZED TO MAKE THE GREATEST IMPACT. *Figure represents estimated funding available for roadway needs in the FY 2026–2027 budget.

PUBLIC SAFETY BY THE NUMBERS Public safety is a top priority. Fire and Police-related services represent approximately 62.6% of the expenditures shown.

Understanding

Enterprise Funds On the previous page, we looked at the City’s proposed revenue and operating expenditures. Some of these funds are Enterprise Funds. An Enterprise Fund is a self-supporting city account that uses customer fees instead of tax money to pay for specific public services. These enterprise funds include:

Water & Sewer

Solid Waste

Stormwater

Why is a 3% increase proposed? A 3% rate increase is proposed for Water & Sewer, Solid Waste, and Stormwater to help these services keep up with rising costs and inflation. The additional revenue helps the City continue to operate, maintain, and improve these essential services.

Water Sewer Fee Increase Impact?

1.14

Solid Waste Fee Increase Impact?

Increase on the minimum-use water bill

0.72 Increase on single-family

The estimated impact may vary based on actual account usage and billing characteristics.

Water & Sewer

Solid Waste

Stormwater

Supports water treatment, distribution, wastewater systems, maintenance, and aging infrastructure.

Supports reliable trash collection, disposal services, equipment, and daily operations.

Supports drainage systems and improvements that help manage stormwater and reduce flooding risks.

Keeping Odessa Strong Investing in our Enterprise Funds ensures these essential services remain reliable today and for the future.
