September 27, 2005

To the Honorable Mayor, Council Members, and Citizens of Dickinson:

It is our pleasure to present the Fiscal Year 2006 Annual Operating Budget for the City of Dickinson,

Texas, in accordance with the provisions of the City Charter.

Preparation of the FY ’05-‘06 Budget has been unusually difficult as the City faces a singular unfunded

challenge; Emergency Medical Services. After experiencing several years of private sector EMS services

with declining service levels, generous revenue sharing by neighboring Texas City, and a revolving door

of providers, the City and its neighboring partners are having to face the a new reality. Every other

participating entity, Galveston County, Texas City, LaMarque, Tiki Island, Hitchcock, and Bayou Vista,

all desire a move toward a public sector provider to increase the quality of patient care and provide

stability of service. In FY ’05 the City budgeted $85,000 for ambulance service and for FY ’06 we have

budgeted $450,000. Faced with this challenge, it is impossible to continue the present level of services in

all other areas while at the same time hold the property tax rate at its current level. For this reason, staff

recommended and City Council approved a 2 cent property tax increase.

The City Council has approved for one full-time patrol officer. A full-time position in Human Resource

and Finance has been added due to the volume of work and transition of Human Resource activities from

the department of Administration. A new position called “Community Development Coordinator”

replaces the current vacant position of a City Planner.

Beyond the issue of Emergency Medical Services, you will find placed in front of each departmental

budget a summary page of that department’s mission, last year’s major accomplishments as well as their

goals established for fiscal year 2006.

General Fund - Total budgeted General Fund revenues from all sources for all funds except for funds

accrued in prior fiscal year are estimated to be $8,003,000. Total budgeted expenditures are $7,635,185

for fiscal year ended September 30, 2006. A brief overview of the budget process follows:

City Council approved in FY 2003 the establishment of a new fund entitled Sales Tax Fund which funds

the Sales Tax revenues received from the Texas State Comptroller’s office. The purpose of this special

fund is to record and account for all sales tax revenues receipted separable. The City has offered

incentive grants for commercial businesses relocating within the City through the use of Chapter 380

economic development programs. The expenditures include inter-fund transfers to the General and 4B

Economic Development Funds and grant programs for 380 Sales Tax partners.

Additional approved Funds included in this budget document are as follows:

Debt Service Fund – consists of Ad Valorem property tax revenues and debt expenditures

Special Revenues Fund consists of special funds assessed by the Municipal Court System that includes

security, judicial efficiency and information technology fees collected through the municipal court

system.

5

Drainage Utility Fund consists of the special assessment fees for all residential, commercial, and

industrial entities with the City of Dickinson. These fees are used exclusively for drainage improvements

4B Economic Development Fund consists of the additional ½ cent sales tax collected for the purpose of

promoting economic development within the City of Dickinson. These funds are under the control of the

Dickinson Economic Development Corporation. This fiscal year the Dickinson Economic Development

Corporation Board of Directors approved their budget for the purpose of funding improved streets and

roads within the City of Dickinson.

Capital Project Fund does not consist of any specific capital project as the City has not yet issued

Certificate of Obligation. Major capital project for this upcoming year include the renovation of Fire

Station, Training Facility and Depot Restoration that is not funded. This will not impact the operational

budget this year due to financing that will be appropriated through the issuance of Certificate of

Obligation.

Compensation, Benefits and Staffing – The number of regular full-time city employees is 64 and part-

time employees is 26 at a total wage and benefit cost of $ 4,345,318 . The city continues to provide

complete health care package, to all full time employees for all of their health care needs. The city also

continues to pay the Certification/Education pay to a maximum of $250.00 per month and Longevity pay

of $60.00 per year. As agreed by the Council, Pay for performance has been budgeted at 3 % of the base

salary. However the actual Pay for Performance expense may range from 1% to 3% depending on the

employees work performance during the year.

Budget Process

The overall goal of the City’s fiscal policy is to establish and maintain effective management of financial

resources. The policies and procedures used in the preparation and management of the annual operating

budget assist’s in providing the foundation for achieving this goal. The City uses the modified accrual

basis of accounting for governmental types of funds. The modified accrual basis of accounting recognizes

revenues with both “measurable and available”. Operating statements, therefore, reflect changes in net

current assets from revenues, expenditures, inter-fund transfers and debt proceeds.

Acknowledgments

Department Heads and Staff members came together as a team to meet the challenges in our future. We

would like to extend our sincere appreciation to each Department Head and their support staff for the

assistance they provided in the preparation of this budget that will satisfy the needs of the citizens of this

community. We would also like to extend our thanks to the Mayor and the City Council members for

their continued support and interest in this community.

Respectfully submitted,

Ivan Langford, III Usha J. Mathew

Community Profile

The City of Dickinson, Texas, incorporated in 1977, is a historic community. It has existed unincorporated

since John Dickinson, a hero of the Texas Revolution, lived here in the 1830s. The 1999 population estimate

is 18,500 and is located between League City, Texas City, Alvin, and Bacliff.

Dickinson has been called "the best kept secret on the Gulf Coast," for its proximity to major attractions,

and for its many other advantages. Dickinson is conveniently located on Interstate 45 and Dickinson Bayou,

between Houston & Galveston, 20 minutes from the beach, and 30 minutes from Clear Lake Resort Area,

Galveston Bay, the Johnson Space Center (NASA), as well as three major shopping malls are all within 10

miles. The community of "Dickinson," extends well beyond the boundaries of the City limits, and includes

over 25,000 people, within the Dickinson school district.

Dickinson Bayou, a large navigable body of water, is lined by the largest stand of trees south of Houston,

and as such, is readily discernible from the air. The Bayou was once a dredged, industrial waterway, but

now is a 20-foot deep recreational attraction for fishing, boating, swimming, and water-skiing.

HISTORY

Dickinson and the bayou, which shares the same name, were named for John Dickinson. In 1824 he

received a land grant from the Mexican government for the area just north of the present day location of

Dickinson.

Around 1850 a settlement was established along the shores of Dickinson Bayou. By 1860 Dickinson

became a stop on the Galveston, Houston and Henderson Railroad. The town had a post office in 1890

registered under its current name.

In the 1890s Fred M. Nichols, the son of E. B., and eight other businessmen organized the Dickinson Land

and Improvement Association to market unoccupied land in the Dickinson area. The primary attraction was

the local soil's proven suitability for growing fruit, cane, berries, and potatoes. Nichols converted forty acres

of his estate into a public park, the Dickinson Picnic Grounds. For the next three decades large groups came

out from Galveston to picnic and holiday on the grounds. A Texas Coast Fair was organized there in 1896,

and a harness racetrack (where the great harness champion Dan Patch supposedly ran) was built to attract

more people to Dickinson. By 1911 the Galveston and Houston Electric Railway Company had three stops

in Dickinson, and prominent Galvestonians had established the Oleander Country Club and built homes

there.

Gambling became prominent in Dickinson and stayed active until 1957. Clubs included the Dickinson

Social Club, the Little Club, and the Rose Garden. In 1957 Attorney General Wil Wilson and the Texas

Rangers effectively shut down open gambling through out Galveston County.

Industrialization and the growth of the oil industry in the Houston and Galveston area after both world wars

contributed further to Dickinson's growth. More growth came with NASA's establishment in 1962 of the

Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center just north of Dickinson in Clear Lake City. The fluctuating population

figures of the town reflect these influences. Dickinson had a population of 149 in 1904. In 1914 the town

had a population of 250, twelve businesses and a bank. After World War I the population had risen to 1,000;

it dropped to 760 in 1931 but rose again to 1,000 in 1933; it remained stable through the rest of the Great

Depression years. During World War II it rose to 1,500. By 1952 it was 3,500 and by 1961, 4,715.

By the 1970’s the cities of Texas City and League City, through aggressive annexation, began to encroach

on Dickinson. Residents of the central area worked to incorporate the city in 1977. In the 1990 the

additional areas of town were annexed into the incorporated city. In 2002 the estimated population of the

city was 17,668. New residential development shows a bright future for the city.
